Re: Pre Constructi
on and Mortgage Loan
Hello there!
Well from my experience of going with a home builder (DR Horton) before any construction can take place, you must be fully approved for a mortgage loan first. So you will need to go through your mortgage application process first. The builders need to make sure that you do qualifiy, otherwise, they'll end up building a home that will sit there should the loan process fall through.
Good luck!!

I am new to R, and I am often confused by data structures that either don't exist or I don't have a need for in other languages.
At the moment, I am trying to convert an object of type "language" to "expression" so that I can plot it.
First I create the function I want to plot:
> model <- nls(y~a+b*exp(x*z),start = list(a=1, b = -.5, z = -.8),data=results)
> modelsym <- substitute(a+b*exp(z*x), list(a=coef(model[1],b=coef(model)[2],z=coef(model)[3]))
The function is of type "language":
> modelsym
0.958945264470923 + -0.463676594301167 * exp(-0.155697065390677 * x)
> typeof(modelsym)
[1] "language"
If I try to plot this curve:
> curve(modelsym)
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : could not find function "modelsym"
However if I copy and paste it works fine:
> curve(0.958945264470923 + -0.463676594301167 * exp(-0.155697065390677 * x))
**[plot appears here]**
I've tried
as(modelsym,expression) to no avail.
How can I convert my object
modelsym to an
expression in order to plot it?

Astronauts prepare for the World Cup
As World Cup kickabouts go, we must admit that the astronauts aboard the International Space Station have probably staged the coolest so far.
A bicycle kick in zero gravity? We have a winner, folks!
Suddenly, Sepp Blatter's hopes that FIFA one day will be able to stage an interplanetary football tournament -- and yes, he really did publicly entertain the thought -- don't seem quite so far-fetched.

Shanghai's Deal Sweetener Sparks Montage Rally in U.S.
Montage Technology Group Ltd. rose the most in three months in the U.S. and trading in the stock surged as the Chinese semiconductor maker agreed to an increased buyout offer made by a Shanghai government-run company.
Montage rose 8.6 percent to $21.49 in New York yesterday. Trading volume jumped to 5.7 million shares, more than 13 times the average of the past three months. The stock has gained 115 percent since its U.S. debut in September.
The chipmaker said its board of directors approved Shanghai Pudong Science and Technology Investment Co.'s buyout offer of $22.60 per share. The city government-run investment management firm had offered $21.50 in March, after Gravity Research claimed in a Feb. 6 report that Montage is overstating its revenue and probably isn't profitable. Montage has denied the allegations and said it doesn't expect to amend its previously reported financial results.
"Today's raised offer reassures investors that the deal is going to close, this is a legit company and Shanghai Pudong is definitely serious about acquiring it," Jay Srivatsa, a New York-based analyst with Chardan Capital Markets, said by phone. "I always thought the offer was too low and there would be a higher offer."
Srivatsa cut the stock to neutral from buy after the rally because a higher offer than the current one is unlikely.
Global Growth
Montage reported first-quarter net income that more than doubled to $7.8 million from the same period last year on sales that rose 77 percent to $35.6 million, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Gravity Research didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment yesterday.
Other Chinese stocks fell in U.S. trading, part of the declines across all equity markets that were triggered by the World Bank's reduction of its global economic growth outlook. The Bloomberg China-US Equity Index slid 0.2 percent to 103.73. The gauge traded at 17 times projected 12-month earnings June 10, the highest multiple since May 2012.
The iShares China Large-Cap ETF, the largest Chinese exchange-traded fund in the U.S., fell 0.4 percent to $37.62, declining for the first time this week.
The World Bank lowered its 2014 global growth forecast to 2.8 percent from 3.2 percent in a report dated June 10. The Washington-based lender cut its forecast for China's gross domestic product expansion to 7.6 percent from 7.7 percent.
'Too Optimistic'
"This doesn't help the sentiment," Mark Williams, chief Asia economist at Capital Economics in London, said by phone. "The World Bank is expecting growth to stabilize in China around the current level. It's still too optimistic."
China's economy expanded 7.7 percent last year and in 2012, the weakest pace since 1999 in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis and down from an average 10.6 percent in the previous decade. Growth may ease to 7.3 percent this year, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Xinyuan Real Estate Co., a Beijing-based property developer, fell 5 percent to $4.17, sliding the most in two months. Vipshop Holdings Ltd., a Guangzhou-based online fashion retailer, slipped 3.3 percent from a record to $180.25.
The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index slipped 0.1 percent from a five-month high to 10,508.40. The Shanghai Composite Index added 0.1 percent to 2,054.95, extending its gain into a third day.

I have a laptop with two video outputs that I use when I am home (HDMI1,VGA1). To enable them, I do this:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --right-of LVDS1 --auto
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
xrandr --output VGA1 --right-of HDMI1 --auto
When I want to go to work, I take my laptop but first run the following:
xrandr --output VGA1 --off
xrandr --output LVDS1 --left-of HDMI1 --auto
xrandr --output HDMI1 --off
And then this leaves my laptop display active just like it should.
The problem I am encountering is that sometimes I don't remember to disable the two screens before taking my computer to work. When I arrive, I try various combinations of
--output and
--off but I cannot get my screen re-enabled.
This is the output I get running
xrandr with nothing displayed:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3840 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192

Almost every command I've tried returns:

Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 21 (RRSetCrtcConfig)
Serial number of failed request: 40
Current serial number in output stream: 40
It's like the two monitors aren't giving up their CRTC and since my hardware only supports 2, it's locked in until I plug those monitors in and disable them.

Definición de remorse en inglés:
sustantivo[mass noun]
- These are often characterised by feelings of shame, regret, remorse and anxiety.
- Very often he is feeling guilt or shame or remorse for something he has done.
- There was no remorse or guilt in any of the conspirators, only pride at doing the right thing.
Late Middle English: from Old French remors, from medieval Latin remorsus, from Latin remordere 'vex', from re- (expressing intensive force) + mordere 'to bite'.
The idea behind remorse is of regret or guilt that eats away at you, prompting you to repent. The word goes back to Latin remordere 'to annoy, trouble'. The first part of the word, re-, adds intensity, and the second is mordere 'to bite'. As re- most often means 'again' in a word, remorse was literally translated in Middle English as 'again-bite'. There is a famous English religious work called Agenbite of Inwyt ('Remorse of Conscience') written c.1340. James Joyce used the expression in Ulysses (1922), thereby introducing it to a wider audience.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Amilus)
Amilos (Greek: Άμιλος) was a settlement in ancient Arcadia. It was situated in the territory of Orchomenus, on the road from Orchomenus to Stymphalus.[1] A road to Pheneus branched off here. The springs of Teneiae were about 1 km from Amilus.[2] The location of the ancient settlement is unknown.

An area of Roscoe Collette Road in southwestern Dawson County will be closed April 2-10 for county public workers to replace a pipe at the creek crossing.
Concerns that the process was moving too fast and lacked public input appear to have halted the city's plans for creating an authority to operate and acquire a local airstrip.
A 10-mile walking trail that would begin near Riverview Middle School and end at War Hill Park is one of several Dawson County projects that could be funded by a regional 1-cent transportation tax.

Volkswagen celebrates second year in the Middle East
This month, Volkswagen Middle East is gearing up to celebrate their second anniversary in the region. Since the inaugural opening of the regional office in Dubai in August 2005, Europe's largest car manufacturer has seen the office triple in size after only two years! With a marked sales increase of 54% since the opening, Volkswagen has high hopes for the road ahead, and its sights set on rapid growth throughout the Middle East.
Two years ago, Volkswagen established its first office in the region aiming to increase their commitment to their Middle Eastern partners and customers. This initiative has allowed the brand to introduce a wider variety of Volkswagen models to the region and strengthen their dedication to their patrons. During the past two years, Volkswagen Middle East has also set up a Regional Service Competence Center and a Regional Training Center aimed at providing improved service to their customers.
This year has been an exciting year for Volkswagen with the launch of their new coupe-convertible, the Eos, which has received great reviews from around the region. Another hit in 2007 has been the new generation Touareg, which regionally has been the most popular Volkswagen car representing 33 percent of Volkswagen's total sales for the first half of 2007.
"Next year we are expecting equal success with the launch of Volkswagen's brand new Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), the Tiguan, also known as the 'Touareg's little brother'," says Hans-Dieter Keller, Managing Director of Volkswagen Middle East. The Tiguan has already gained worldwide attention with its concept of a crossover between coupe and SUV. It was conceived as a borderliner between the urban world and endless landscapes, what is known as the "urban jungle", between business and leisure time.
Recently, Audi Volkswagen Middle East also celebrated the inauguration of their 10,000 sqm Middle East Parts Centre for the Volkswagen and Audi brands. The state-of-the-art warehouse facility is located in the Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai, and has improved parts availability while reducing lead times for parts ordering. The centre also serves to regulate the use of approved genuine parts as a measure towards greater vehicle safety.
One of the biggest commercial challenges in the Middle East is consumer diversity. Volkswagen Middle East currently oversees 11 markets throughout the region, all of which have different requirements. "In order to promote the brand successfully within the region we work to tailor our customer services and marketing campaigns to suit each individual market," says Mr. Keller.
"We are very proud to celebrate our second year in the Middle East," concluded Mr. Keller. By laying these foundations, Volkswagen has now reinforced its position in the region. We aim to build on our existing alliances in the region and are looking forward to continually growing and expanding the Volkswagen brand throughout the region."

The Frugal Decorator: Make a Valance...from Your Tablecloth
by Leah Wynne
If you have a window in a room that doesn't need privacy, you can make a simple stationary treatment that's inexpensive but gorgeous. You need a tablecloth to fit your window, or that's a little larger. You can use any tablecloth, but I think lace is the most beautiful. You also need a 1" x 2" or 1" board that runs the width of your window. Staple or thumbtack the tablecloth edge to the backside of the board. No need to gather ruffles or pleats, just make sure it's straight, flat and even; and that it covers the boards from end to end.
About 10-15-20" in from each end, staple or thumbtack a piece of co-ordinating or contrasting ribbon. The ribbon needs to be long enough to hang down about 10" and wrap around, so as to hold your fabric. Put your tablecloth through the ribbon and adjust and play with it until it pleats and hangs nicely.
Hang your board on your window using small metal L-shaped brackets available at hardware stores. This treatment is simple, inexpensive and looks great.
Leah works part-time at a home-decorating store and practices frugal living on a daily basis.

Hi, and thank you so much for looking/helping.
please have a look at http://www.ro7.co.uk where I'm having a logo crisis. I want the logo to remain on the top left of the site, and be followed by the Nav bar, with the post/page headline & text should follow up soon after. There shouldn't be a big gap below the nav bar and the text, but there is because the coding is not designed for a tall logo.
The trouble is, the logo is quite tall... This is the root of my problem. Originally, with this theme, the logo sits in the header. This tall logo forces the header container to be really tall. As the post/page text is coded to appear below the logo, it is* way too* low down on the page (not user friendly). I need your help getting the text up, if you have any ideas.
So I tried various things, including messing around with all the margins, and DIVS. No joy. I then cut the logo code out of header.php - sticking the graphic in the left hand side column, below where the original/proper header would go. No joy. Same problem, made worse.
The graphic/logo on the left is currently styled as ".border_grey" on the CSS. It replaces another image that is less important.
My best theory is that inappropriate DIVs and related CSS are causing the problem. Experimenting with this has caused more trouble. So far, over 4 hours have gone into this, and I'm needing it done really soon! Panic. It is exhausting.
With your help, this might be fixable. My knowledge of containers/divs/CSS is evidently not good enough. Perhaps you have some friendly advice?
Text from Index.php to give you an idea of how it is laid our right now.

Thanks, Nestoronfire. I hope it will turn out ok.
I decided to post my mood boards also, along with my progress, so, there you go:I`m in for the post apocalyptic environmental sour ride...
Decided to tweak the concept a bit while gathering some references.
Is it ok to post mood-boards in the beginning so people see what direction I want to go? Or.. is that somewhat risky?...
Dude, and a very nice slip it is :)! When are you gonna post some more fresh stuff?

There is a lot of discussion these days in pastoral circles about the future.
I'm not talking about end times. The scriptures tell us things will get worse but in the end, God prevails.
While kayaking on the Edisto River last weekend, it looked like the plant world was literally blooming before our eyes.
The drab brown of winter and the standard pine tree green was giving way to red and white blossoms.
We have been studying the wild and crazy Book of Judges in the Old Testament.
Wild and crazy is a bit of an understatement. It amazes me how the grace of God prevails. He uses fallen, broken and flawed people.
The Bible is loaded full of heroes. I personally like to look and study Moses. He is described as the humblest man to ever live, yet he had such strength.
I walked out to the mailbox looking for a small package. I opened the door to the mailbox slowly and stood there in amazement.
My mailbox was crammed from top to bottom. That was sure different from the normal day of one or two letters.
"I want peace in my home!" the young mother screamed.
Her husband rolled his eyes and sighed.
"What do you want me to do? I'm working 60 hours a week. What, do I have to do your job, too?" he snipped in response.
I took a test the other day. I flunked it. No, it wasn't that kind of test. It was a test that determines if you are a normal or an abnormal thinker.
It claimed (unproven) that 98 percent of people are normal thinkers.
The tropic conditions were perfect for a great day at the beach. The tourists were climbing the Ocho Rios falls. The cool water mixed with the ocean, creating "air-conditioned" temperatures. Fun was to be had by all.
After the weekend, I love to take about an hour and peruse Facebook. Everybody has an opinion on Mondays. Football, weather, football, politics, football, Martin Luther King Jr.
In Deuteronomy, there is one of the strangest sections of Scripture.
The Lord tells the Israelites he wants them to dig their latrines outside of the camp. That seems like a pretty good idea.

Research Institution:
AbstractApplied Optimization, Inc. proposes a three-step approach for identifying the unknown physical characteristics of a target satellite based on its multi-spectral point image. In the first step, a method is proposed for calibrating space-based passivesensors using data from tracking a Navstar satellite. The specific data to be used was obtained by an experiment aboard the MSX satellite. There are two advantages to this approach, namely; the Navstar position is known precisely, and a constellation oftwenty-four satellites is always available for tracking. The second step considers that Navstar characteristics were unknown and represents them as a Boolean of geometry primitives and a set of surface properties. Its point image is expressed as a sum ofseveral contributions that arise as the spacecraft swivels to manage the pointing of its antenna cluster and solar panels. Then the visual and infrared spectrum data is fused to solve for unknown characteristics. The third stage considers that the targetcould be represented as a Boolean of unknown geometry primitives, which can be crossed-over and mutated to match the multi-spectral point image. A Genetic Algorithm is proposed to create the different possibilities and decode the components in the unknowntarget signature.DoD Benefits: [1] A process for calibration of passive sensors using mono tracking data. [2] Reduction of time between detection and decoding of an unknown target. Applications: [DoD] Separation of unknown signature for ballistic missiletargets.

To the Editor:—
Among the articles appearing in a syndicated newspaper column called "Child Behavior" and coming from the Gesell Institute of Child Development is a series regarding the treatment of myopia by exercises. It might seem obvious that the published articles do not represent the views of the Section of Ophthalmology of Yale University School of Medicine, but because the Gesell Institute is located in New Haven, Conn., we have been receiving from colleagues, even within the state of Connecticut, inquiries as to why we permitted such articles to come from Yale University. I wish to call attention to the fact that the Gesell Institute is a private organization, with no connection with Yale University, and that the Yale University School of Medicine has no control over, and does not necessarily sanction, any article coming from this Institute.

Lemon Cornmeal Cookies (Cooking Light)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 12 mins
A great little cookie to serve with coffee or tea.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces)
- 1⁄3 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 3⁄4 cup sugar, plus
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients (through ground ginger); stir with a whisk. Combine sugar and butter in a large bowl, and beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes). Scrape sides of the bowl occasionally. Add egg; beat well. Beat in grated lemon rind. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, and beat at medium-low speed just until blended.
- Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons batter 2 inches apart onto 2 parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes or until lightly browned and almost firm. Remove from oven. Cool on pans for 2 minutes or until firm. Remove from pans. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Most Helpful
I'm really waffling about how to rate these cookies. The recipe works very well indeed and is very accepting of Splenda in place of the sugar. They are crispy on the outside and soft inside. I think whats holding me up is that (to me) they are more like small bits of cornbread than cookies. The lemon is faint and more may have helped. I was expecting them to spread flat as the batter is on the thin side and be all crispy. They are more like wee pillows. If you enjoy sweetened corn bread I think that you'll enjoy this recipe.

I know this can seems silly if you are a code guru. But if you answer it, you'll be something like a code bodhisattva in the coder's supernatural realm. It's suppose to be a joke.
So, I wrote this bit of code:
def media():
n = 0
soma = 0
while True:
print("Type a number")
num = input()
print type(num)
if num is int:
soma = soma + num
n = n + 1
print "soma =", soma, " num = ", num, " n = ", n
media = soma/n
print media
When I run the code, I get something like this:
My question is: why the condition
if num is int: is not fulfilled?
My goal is to make the condition "if the user types ENTER, then break".
Thanks in advance.

"From wherever you stood, the opposing side offered respectable, credible views. In today's fractured culture the evening struck a blow for civility."
- The Huffington Post
April 28, 2016
The empty stage of the Yale Repertory Theatre looked like the set of a talk show. A black-and-white photograph of the New York City skyline hung in three panels in the center, and two empty frosted-glass tables stood on either side of the stage, each flanked by a black podium. Lights on the walls shifted sunset-like from orange to pink. On March 1, Yale students, professors, New Haven locals, and even high school debate teams shuffled into the Rep clutching grey pamphlets that declared: "Free Speech is Threatened on Campus."
This was a public debate hosted by the nonprofit Intelligence Squared, but its resolution might have been lifted from any of the endless finger-wagging think pieces that appeared in response to anti-racism demonstrations last semester at the University of Missouri, Yale, and other colleges. And although the debate had been scheduled long before last November, higher-ups at Intelligence Squared chose the topic specifically because of its relevance to Yale, according to Dana Wolf, the executive producer of Intelligence Squared U.S.
March 08, 2016
A recurring falsehood in the ongoing debate about campus culture, politics, and policy.
Last week, I surveyed the overwhelming evidence that free speech is threatened on campus. But I did not address a counterargument that uncharitable skeptics of that position keep repeating: that those who defend liberal values in higher education are really trying to silence or distract from students who speak out against racism.
That is a pernicious falsehood every bit as bankrupt as the similarly uncharitable belief that all accusations of racism are really just cynical power grabs built on lies.
Despite the fact that the falsehood has been explicitly repudiated by so many defenders of free speech, and stands in stark conflict with the principles that they espouse, it was repeated again last week in the Intelligence Squared debate on campus speech.
March 04, 2016
A debate at Yale highlighted the disconnect between those who would downplay the problem, and the growing mass of evidence that they're wrong.
At a recent Intelligence Squared debate, an audience filled an auditorium at Yale University to weigh the timely proposition, "Free speech is threatened on campus." The debate concerned higher education generally, not just the host institution. And at the event's conclusion, having heard arguments on both sides of the question, 66 percent of the crowd agreed: free speech is threatened. That represented a 17-point shift from a poll taken as the event began. The evidence is that persuasive.
March 04, 2016
More of this year's freshman class expects to participate in at least one protest while they're in college than at any other time in the last 50 years. The portion of all students who claim to be these prospective protesters? 10%. Among black students, the proportion rises to 16%.
While some argue the rise in college protests can be attributed to the fact that marginalized students are finding their voices and demanding better, others see a threat to free speech in these campaigns [...]
At Yale this week, Intelligence Squared convened a debate about whether free speech is threatened on campus, ending the night with two-thirds of audience members siding with the "yes" camp.
March 04, 2016
Intelligence Squared presented an excellent debate on Tuesday at Yale —"Resolved: Free speech is threatened on campus."
Yale was a particularly apt venue for this debate. Yale has a proud tradition of freedom of speech, and its official statement on free speech, the "Woodward Report" of 1974, is one of the strongest defenses of free speech in the academy. But the infamous controversy of this past Halloween, and the way that Yale handled the controversy, have led many to doubt Yale's current commitment to free speech. This year, Yale only narrowly avoided ranking among the 10 worst colleges in the United States for free speech, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE). So this debate was particularly timely, and it clearly struck a nerve at Yale.
March 02, 2016
On Tuesday, an audience gathered at Yale to hear a debate on the proposition, "Free speech is threatened on campus." The question pertained to institutions of higher education generally, not just the host university. The outcome: a clear majority agree that free speech is threatened. But that wasn't yet true when the event began.
March 02, 2016
Portrayed as 'ignorant at best and immoral at worst,' non-leftist students self-censor.
In recent weeks, speakers such as conservative Ben Shapiro and anti-feminist Milo Yiannopoulos have faced angry crowds of progressive students who tried to shut down their campus speeches with interruptions and physical confrontations.
Yet it took an evening of civil debate between scholars and writers to convince a divided Yale University audience that "free speech is threatened on campus."
The public radio show and podcast Intelligence Squared U.S. hosted the Tuesday evening Oxford-style debate at Yale, moderated by ABC News correspondent John Donvan.
March 02, 2016
The atmosphere on college campuses has changed, a Columbia University professor argued before an audience full of Yale students and New Haven residents Tuesday. And that change has created spaces in which free speech is not extinguished, but threatened.
A majority of the audience agreed.
After a debate hosted by Intelligence Squared U.S., a nonprofit that provides free online access to debates held across the country on issues facing society, 66 percent of the audience left convinced that free speech is threatened on college campuses. The event was held at the Yale Repertory Theatre.
March 02, 2016
Before a nearly full auditorium at the Yale Repertory Theater Tuesday night, the NPR show "Intelligence Squared U.S." hosted a debate on the motion that free speech is threatened on college campuses. But despite the robust turnout, most students' opinions on the topic remained largely unchanged, with students stating that many of the arguments advanced at the debate were ideas they had already heard last fall.
March 02, 2016
Do the campus protests and debates that roil around speech that has been deemed "offensive" or "racist" signal a threat to free speech or are we simply moving into a more enlightened time when intolerance is no longer quietly accepted? That was the question posed to two teams of debaters and an audience of Yale University students and New Haven, Conn., residents on Tuesday night.
February 26, 2016
The atmosphere on campuses nationwide has become charged with accusations, on one side, that "micro-aggressions" are hurtful to women and people of color, and countercharges that universities are censoring speakers.
On Tuesday, the issue will land in the spotlight at the Yale Repertory Theatre as four debaters argue for or against the statement, "Free speech is threatened on campus."
"I don't think there's any question that free speech is threatened on campus. I think the question is whether free speech should be threatened on campus," said Wendy Kaminer, who is one of the debaters in the Intelligence Squared U.S. debate, sponsored by the Adam Smith Society, an organization composed of business school students and alumni.
December 11, 2015
During the Intelligence Squared debate last week, Roger Clegg, president and general counsel for the Center for Equal Opportunity, argued that a diverse campus and the interracial conversations that could result from it is not a compelling enough reason to continue racial preferences, even as part of a larger calculus that considers many factors for student admission.
December 08, 2015
As the Supreme Court of the United States again prepares to consider arguments in Fisher v. The University of Texas at Austin today, the arguments will be presented amid a national environment that seems to have proven that race is still very much a factor on campuses across the country.
November 05, 2015
Pop a pill, ace a test. If you could take a pill that would instantly make you work harder, improve your brain function and make you "smarter," would you?
A panel of experts argued this question in a debate this week presented byIntelligence Squared U.S. at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., entitled, "College Students Should be Allowed to Take Smart Drugs."
November 03, 2015
If there was a pill that could make everyone smarter and more focused, how many people would take it?
This question was the subject of debate among experts at the Jack Morton Auditorium Monday night. Moderated by ABC News correspondent John Donvan, the panel weighed the medical and moral risks, as well as the benefits, of college students using drugs like Adderall, without a prescription, to help them study.
November 03, 2015
We use coffee to stay awake, good food and nutrition to stay healthy and alert. But if there was a drug that made you smarter, helped you learn, and made you more focused, would you take it?
That's a question that Nicole Vincent, associate professor of philosophy, law and neuroscience at Georgia State University, asked to open her TED talk in Sydney last year.
That question also opened a Monday night debate at George Washington University in which two sides argued both for and against whether "College Students Should Be Allowed to Take Smart Drugs."
November 03, 2015
Should college students be allowed to take Adderall and Modafinil to improve their academic performance, or should universities treat these so-called "smart drugs" the same way Major League Baseball treats steroids? I attended a debate on the subject at George Washington University last night, and came away convinced that banning smart drugs is not only impractical—it's profoundly evil.
November 03, 2015
Should college students take smart drugs? That was the question posed to a panel of professors at an Intelligence Squared debate at George Washington University on Monday night.
November 03, 2015
Last night, I had the pleasure of debating my views on why college students should be allowed to take smart drugs. My partner, Anjan Chatterjee and I were in support of the resolution. Nicole Vincent and Eric Racine were opposed.
The debate, hosted by Intelligence Squared US (IQ2US) and FIRE, was an engaging conversation about the existing and potential role of these drugs in society, and in particular on college campuses.
November 01, 2015
Intelligence Squared US and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) are embarking on a joint venture (that I am proud to have brokered), to present a series of high-profile debates on college campuses. Our first debate will be tomorrow at George Washington University.
October 26, 2015
Should students be allowed — or encouraged — to take "smart drugs" so they can get better grades?
That will be the question on the table on Monday when the public affairs program Intelligence Squared — IQ2 — brings its lively debate format to George Washington University.
September 21, 2015
On September 16, 2015, ALI members Stephen J. Schulhofer of New York University School of Law, Jeannie C. Suk of Harvard University Law School, and Michelle J. Anderson of City University of New York School of Law participated in a debate discussing whether universities are equipped for enforcing policies in response to sexual assault violence, or whether the criminal court system is better suited for the task.
September 18, 2015
Just before four law professors take the stage here to debate whether courts or colleges should decide sexual-assault cases, the ABC News correspondent John Donvan polls the audience of about 250 people.
Should all rape allegations involving college students be handled by the criminal-justice system? Or should campuses continue to use a separate disciplinary process, with different standards and sanctions, and give students who allege such incidents a choice of how to proceed?
September 18, 2015
Harvard Law School professor Jeannie C. Suk argued at a forum in New York this week that the criminal court system, not campus resources, should investigate and adjudicate cases of alleged sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape.
At the forum—hosted by Intelligence Squared Debates and titled "Courts, Not Campuses, Should Decide Sexual Assault Cases"—Suk and Yale Law School professor Jed Rubenfeld argued in favor of the motion. Michelle Anderson, the dean of City University New York School of Law, and Stephen Schulhofer, a professor at New York University School of Law, argued in favor of university involvement in the contentious issue.
September 17, 2015
Jed Rubenfeld and Jeannie Suk (for) and Michelle Anderson and Stephen Schulhofer (against) participated in an interesting and extensive debate on this question on September 16; video here. One of the most notable aspects of the discussion was the systematic doubt about the capacity of courts to be fair. Professor Suk noted that campus disciplinary proceedings had a disproportionate impact on the poor and minorities; Dean Anderson responded, to oversimplify, that Ferguson and other incidents make clear that the criminal justice system is worse. All sides agreed that there are excesses in campus discipline which are appropriately being weeded out in courts. Again, to oversimplify, Professor Schulhofer argued nevertheless that campus discipline was necessary for fairness to the accused; given draconian sexual assault sentences, the power of prosecutors, the pressure of sweet pleas, and the unreliability of juries, some form of accountability other than prosecution was necessary so that the lives of minor offenders (or alleged offenders) were not ruined. Taken together, I think most or all parties might agree that the criminal justice system has often been disrespectful of victims, dismissive of sexual assault claims, and also sometimes arbitrary and brutal to those charged with or convicted of sex offenses. If this is so, one wonders what makes the character or ability of professors and administrators so much higher that better results are likely in the academy.

WASHINGTON — Before the Intelligence Squared debate held at George Washington University, only one in three audience members said they agreed that liberals are stifling intellectual diversity at colleges and universities, but after hearing both sides of the debate, almost three-fifths of the audience was convinced that liberals are stifling intellectual diversity.
The debate, moderated by John Donvan, an author and correspondent for ABC News, will be aired on National Public Radio stations and is available online.
February 25, 2015
At GW last night, nobody was willing to argue that students should be silenced.
Anyone feeling disheartened by the many ways our First Amendment freedoms are under attack may find solace in the outcome of an event last night hosted by Intelligence Squared at George Washington University. Two teams of two debated whether liberals are stifling intellectual diversity on college campuses—and the side arguing for the proposition won in a landslide.
Interestingly, three of the four participants and both debaters arguing the affirmative indentify as liberals.
February 25, 2015
Panelists visiting GW debated whether or not liberals suppressed intellectual diversity on college campuses Tuesday.
The debate, hosted by Intelligence Squared, a non-profit group that organizes discussions around the country, engaged about 100 people in the Jack Morton Auditorium. John Donovan, an author and ABC news correspondent, moderated the event.
Audience members were invited to vote on whether they thought liberals discouraged intellectual diversity on college campuses before and after the discussion. When it began, 33 percent said liberals suppressed intellectual diversity, while 21 percent said they disagreed and 46 percent were undecided.
February 25, 2015
WASHINGTON, D.C. – After a 90-minute campus debate Tuesday over whether liberals stifle intellectual diversity on college campuses, nearly six in 10 members of the audience agreed – they do.
That according to a vote of the audience taken after the "Intelligence Squared Debate" at George Washington University on the topic of whether "liberals are stifling intellectual diversity on campus."
Greg Lukianoff, president of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, along with Fox Newscontributor and USA Today columnist Kirsten Powers, were able to convince 59 percent of those in attendance that there is a pervasive liberal intolerance of different views on campuses, an atmosphere that hinders free speech and debate.
October 01, 2014
A recent debate, "Embrace the Common Core?" hosted by Intelligence Squared, featured some of the nation's top experts on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The Oxford-style "2 vs. 2" debate show included comments on topics such as whether or not the CCSS are actually right for kids and the rationale behind national standards. In particular, the debate focused on the controversial CCSS-aligned assessments and the cognitive appropriateness of the standards. The debate offered a refreshing take on what is often a politically charged topic. Many other educational bloggers have also offered analysis of this debate, including Diane Ravitch and The Washington Post's Valerie Strauss.

It's a busy time in terms of driver movement at Penske Racing. But team bosses Roger Penske and Tim Cindric never had to hunt outside the confines of the team's 105-acre complex in Mooresville, N.C.
In simple terms, Sam Hornish Jr. is moving from the building that houses Penske's IRL IndyCar Series team to Penske South's adjacent facility. The three-time IndyCar champ will move full time into the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2008, driving Penske's new No. 77 Mobil 1 Dodge.
Meanwhile, Penske didn't even have to look across the parking lot to find Hornish's IndyCar replacement. Ryan Briscoe spent 2007 driving for Penske's factory Porsche effort in the American Le Mans Series, which operates out of the same shop.
The 26-year-old Australian also drove a thinly disguised Penske entry in the 2007 Indianapolis 500, finishing a solid fifth. All together, it convinced Roger Penske that Briscoe was the ideal replacement for Hornish.
"Ryan has been a great addition to our organization," Penske said.
"He did a terrific job at Indianapolis this year, and delivered for us in our ALMS program.
"Obviously, he has big shoes to fill with Sam moving over to our NASCAR team, but he has shown us that he has the talent to win in the IndyCar Series."
Briscoe raced Indy-style cars for Target/Ganassi Racing in 2005, making 15 starts. He admits that he tried too hard to compensate for a lack of horsepower and crashed a few cars, most notably a fiery, flying wreck at Chicagoland Speedway that ended his season early (and subsequently became a YouTube staple).
Out at Ganassi's at the end of '05, Briscoe drifted from ride to ride in 2006. He finished a notable third at Watkins Glen in Dreyer & Reinbold Racing's IndyCar ride and made a couple of exploratory Champ Car starts for RuSPORT Racing at the end of the season.
It's doubtful that Penske had a succession plan in place when he hired Briscoe to partner with Sascha Maassen in the Porsche LMP2 prototype this year. But things worked out nicely for everyone.
"It's really amazing," Briscoe observed. "It's sort of a dream position for a driver to get the chance to come back full time to the IndyCar Series, and I'm extremely excited.
"I hope I can live up to the expectations and do a great job, and I can't wait to get it all started."
The Sydney native is based in North Carolina near the Penske shop and he has gotten to know many of the IndyCar team members over the the last year. He already has tested one of Penske's Dallara-Hondas at Sebring International Raceway and the Milwaukee Mile.
His performance at Indy last May with Penske equipment run under the Luczo-Dragon Racing name also impressed the team.
"It was just a great opportunity for them to see me in that situation, taking part all month and do the most important race of the year," Briscoe recalled. "I guess I was probably under the eye of Roger, and we ran competitively all month and had a good race. I think it definitely helped."
Trading Briscoe for Hornish will strengthen the Penske IndyCar team's road course attack, but, with only 13 oval starts in his career, he'll need to often rely on teammate Helio Castroneves' experience.
"He's a real fun guy and we get along great," Briscoe said. "We get along great and I've got no doubt that we're going to be great teammates."
Mansell name returns to Champ Car
The formula now known as the Champ Car World Series got a major boost in 1993 when reigning Formula 1 world champion Nigel Mansell raced in America for Newman/Haas Racing. For a 40-year-old who had never raced on an oval, Mansell picked up on the art pretty quickly (with a little help from Mario Andretti's setups), and four of his five race wins came on oval tracks as Mansell became the self-proclaimed "Double World Champion."
Champ Car hopes that the Mansell name still resonates with American racing fans the way it does in England. His sons Greg and Leo will drive for Walker Racing in the 2008 Cooper Tires Atlantic Championship, chasing the $2 million toward a Champ Car ride that goes to the development series champion.
Champ Car management has focused on strengthening the Atlantic series over the last couple of years and the recruitment of the Mansell brothers should build on that momentum.
"I think it's an incredible opportunity to go racing," said Nigel Mansell. "They've just completed the British Formula 3 series and the Atlantic car is stepped up with 100 horsepower more. I think the package that the Champ Car Atlantic Series has is a great end game for stepping up into motorsports."
Greg, who at age 20 is the younger by two years, was the more successful Mansell in F3 last year, taking 10th in the British championship with a handful of podium finishes.
"We don't know what it's like not to be a Mansell, so we don't really think about it much," Greg said. "Obviously, there are perks and there are downfalls. There is a little more interest than anyone else would have got and it started out as pressure from the start. But now we can turn it into positives and hopefully use it to get some more sponsors and media attention. It's all really exciting and I'm getting excited about this year coming up."
Walker Racing will field a third Atlantic car for Canadian Kevin Lacroix, and Derrick Walker hopes to retain drivers Will Power and Simon Pagenaud and possibly add a third Champ Car to his Team Australia operation.

I have put 12,000 miles since March mostly pulling a trailer, only bad thing is a little underpowered on big hills. 4.2 liter otherwise excellent truck
little more torque like the4.9
This is the 3rd Ford truck I've owned and they all have been very reliable. My 2003 F-150 FX4 is the best one I've owned. It has very good styling, runs great and is fun to drive. I haven't had any problems at all (knock on wood). I'll definitely buy another Ford truck.
Great looking truck that runs great and is comfortable.
I,ve taken this truck on several
vacations out west.,the gas mileage
was pretty good. Driving in snow and
ice this winter was great with the
limited slip rear-end, who needs 4wd.
confort, limited slip rear-end
First truck I've owned, so far, so
goos. It is the work truck package.
MAke things like tilt wheel and center
front armrest standard.
Best truck I have owned

BVery (609) Plymouth, Minnesota | October 20, 2012| Updated October 21, 2012
Pretty cool place. Flight of 6 house beers. Decent food menu. Ambiance isnt fancy but its cool. Service is okay.
JCB (271) Durham, North Carolina | March 31, 2012
Conference hotel was a couple blocks away so figured Id duck in. This is the kind of joint that wouldve gone over huge maybe 15 years ago. Nice enough space, friendly (if not especially efficient) staff, medium pub fare, and just a few standard brew offerings. Interesting that their brew with the most IBUs was their ESB. Hmm. Anyways, a friendly couple of hours over a couple pints but pretty middling in all honesty.
KAF (100) Coralville, Iowa | February 8, 2012
Not the best brewpub in the area, but they seem to be getting better. Service is always good and friendly. Atmosphere is very laid back and there is an upstairs bar as well that is sometimes less busy. Beers are nothing to write home about or bother going out of your way to get. If it isnt out of the way you may as well stop in, but nothing too special.
tronraner (109) Walland, Tennessee | September 21, 2011
Fairly typical brewpub. I had a sampler of their beers. English-style ales, mostly. Some of them are solid, but none of them really jumped out at me. There are some interesting food options, but the quality is a bit lackluster. Ambiance is normal for this type of establishment: quite a bit of wood, brewing equipment visible. They seemed to be a bit understaffed, with only one server handling several tables. Decent experience, though.
radagast83 (277) Fairfax, Virginia | August 11, 2011
Went there late on a Monday night, probably around 9pm. I really enjoyed my time here, though my rating might not convey that. Two of the six brews on tap were gone, which was disapointing. Didnt eat any of the food, but other tables got food and it looked good, smelled good, and they appeared to enjoy it. I personally thought the 3.75 brews were really well worth it - considering Im used to $5+ dollar brewpub brews out East. The bill for the group of us didnt break $20 dollars (including tip) so I was pleasantly surprised. It kind of sucks that the riverboat that used to be docked across the street is gone, as I bet the place was jammin back then. Sadly, I worry that a diamond-in-the-rough like this (and the other brewpubs in this area) could be under-appreciated in this mostly "blue collar" area, where people would probably be more willing to spend $2 on a PBR or Bud Light at some dirty dive than be adventurous and support local breweries. Id like to head back here next time Im in town.
Cavie (80) Arlington, Texas | June 8, 2010
Popped in for lunch one day. Wasnt too crowded (although I heard it normally is) but there was one kid there who was NOT happy. He screamed the entire time...which got annoying. Bartender was cool and chatted with me the entire time. He had worked there for 14 years so he had lots of stories. I tried all they had to offer in the way of beer, which I thought was pretty good. They also offered a sausage plate that was made locally, which was pretty freaken good. A good stop for sure.
drowland (243) Georgia | August 3, 2009
I visit Blue Cat every couple of weeks when Im in the Quad Cities, and its a nice place that sort of markets itself as a nice restaurant rather than a brewpub, though the upstairs bar can be much more rambunctious. The ambiance is nice, especially in the restaurant. Dim lights, great food, and a generally nice aura. The service is usually fine, but not outstanding, be it in the restaurant or up in the bar. Sometimes when it gets busy upstairs they really need more bartenders. The selection is okay - they usually have 4-6 of their own beers and a very small bottle collection of the macros. The food is very good, much better than your typical bar fare. If you have a chance to go to one of their "beer dinners" with specially crafted meals paired with their beers, you should. The place is pretty expensive for a brewpub, draws usually pulling about $3.75, and the food isnt cheap either, but its hard to gauge because the food is really good. Overall, I like the place, but they need more beers, some of their own beers arent super amazing, the prices are a bit high, and the night life isnt much there - it dies down much after 10 or 11pm when people head out to the bars in the nearby District.
sthlm (145) Duluth, Minnesota | October 20, 2008
Went here with a friend late on a Wednesday night, so it was pretty quiet at the time. Good feel to it though, and a decent location from what I could tell (although as noted before, it is a little dark inside). The beer wasnt exceptional, but it wasnt bad either, and the prices were very reasonable. The bartender was friendly enough, and the beer was served in proper glassware. Worth stopping at, in my opinion. I didnt try any of the food, but my friend tells me that it is good and very reasonably priced also.
marchcow (36) Coralville, Iowa | June 15, 2007
Ok at best. Not a bad place to go but nothing outstanding. Very average overall.
3fourths (1528) Boulder, Colorado | December 29, 2006| Updated April 20, 2013
Visited at around 9pm on a Friday night, and the restaurant was packed, so a lot of people were packed in the bar while waiting for their tables. The bar area is really small for a crowd at that time. Beer quality was a little better than average. The imperial stout in a pint glass is $3, no different than any other beer. That rocks. The 10% ABV Belgian ale was pretty gross, though. Those were the only two that I tried, since the other APA/wheat/golden selections looked pretty lame. Easy to find, easy to find parking, and located really close to other clubs, casinos and bars in Rock Island. They have no happy hour or late night food specials, though.

In Dallas County: 1--can owner evict solely for smoking marijuana in an rented apartment wher eremnt is current? 2--How about if the accussation is the tenant or tenant's friend was dealing in marijuana? 3--Would either require a 3 days notice or 30 days, or?
Would it be 3 days notice , or 30 days notice?
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
Essentially what you are asking: Can a landlord evict if he/she is aware of illegal activities in an apartment. The is yes.
Personal Injury Lawyer
The lease most likely addresses that the tenant must comply with all laws. So a crime would likely givem them the right to enforce such a provision. It is a question of what the landlord can provide by a preponderance of the evidence.

We purchased 2 nightstands and the chest of drawers. One nightstand was assembled in under 2 hours. My wife did most of the assembly. The wood is excellent, beautiful rich color. It is darker than the picture but we prefer darker wood so we had noted this in the other reviews and were prepared for a darker piece. There are many pieces but again if you take your time and have a drill (use wood glue on the dowels) and a rubber mallet it won't be difficult. Instructions were good but would have been perfect if the diagramming included the letters which are labeled on the individual wood pieces. The visual would be stronger then and probably help those who aren't accustomed to assembling furniture. This is for our guest room and is very handsome, of substantial weight and elegant looking when finished. Drawers slide effortlessly and the hardware is very classic. Solid wood pieces are hard to find and smaller night stands are difficult to find nowadays as well. We are pleased with the dimensions because again you must read the measurements and even map them out in the space if you have difficulty visualizing and really need a bigger night stand in the room. Shipping was the usual quick overstock delivery and all pieces arrived unmarred. I researched extensively for pieces for our guest room that were solid wood and this is absolutely the best buy for the money. It is far better looking, solid hardwood and much less expensive than the veneer or solid hardwood options we found in stores and over the net. Excellent purchase if you practice due diligence, i.e., double check and/or map out dimensions, expect a darker cherry wood color, use the right tools, read the instructions carefully and take your time assembling.
Its a quality piece. Real wood. Quality tracks. Drawers roll smoothly, and it just looks sharp. I'd like to thank Overstock for packaging the pieces really well. All pieces were well labeled and protected - no scratches. We bought the matching dresser, chest and this nightstand and all six total boxes fit easily into our Camry. Assembly time for this piece took about 40 minutes between two people.
My husband and I put 2 of these nightstands together in less than 2 hours. The finish is lovely and the pieces were carefully packaged and labeled. My only complaint is that the drawers don't slide in/out easily. We have to hold down the cabinet while opening the drawers, as pulling hard enough to open a drawer will cause the nightstand to slide across the floor. So although they look great, they don't really perform very well.
This is one solid piece of furniture, and it came packaged in so many styrofoam panels that it could survive an air drop. Most of it is solid and very heavy hardwood, just the drawer sides, back and bottom are particle board. The finish is very nice, and the whole thing looks classy. One improvement during assembly would be to glue the whole thing together, since cam locks only provide that much stability, but for a nightstand it's fine. Overall it's a steal for the price.
This nightstand is beautiful and definitely worth the money. Only challenge I have is the 2nd drawer is a little harder to shut. Seems like it is sticking on something but there is nothing there. Might be a warp in the wood. Otherwise...great piece!
There is not much to add from the other reviews, so I'll summarize: -Beautiful wood, looks fantastic, terrific quality (esp for the price) -Easy to put together (My husband did both in about 6 hours) -love that it has three drawers and no open space -drawers are narrow -- perfect for books, glasses, etc. but not for clothing items The nightstands are small, but this makes them PERFECT for urban spaces. If you live in a metro area where space is a luxury, these nightstands are perfectly proportional. We have been quite frustrated looking for furniture only to find huge pieces for large, suburban homes, but these nightstands are great and fit our space beautifully. We are very happy with our purchase.
I've been having a difficult time finding what I wanted for my guest room. I hesitated buying this before because the matching dresser did not initially get good reviews, but I've now purchased both. My brother and I put the night stand together last night. I've recently put together a lot of furniture, and the instructions were pretty clear. I would recommend using a power drill though and when you put the back on, use a hammer to tap the screws in to get it started, it will make your life easier. The finished product is beautiful and very sturdy and was exactly what I was looking for in the guest room. As for the height of the nightstand, I think it's normal sized. It's 2 feet tall. My nightstand in my room is 22 inches... so it's taller than what I have in my bedroom. I'm really pleased with this purchase, and it got here very quickly. Thanks again overstock.
This is a nice nightstand. My only complaint is that the description says it's SOLID WOOD but in fact the drawer sides and back are press board, not solid. Everything that you can see is solid. The instructions were good and the assembly went well.
I absolutely love my nightstands! Great rich color and love the style. They took about 40 minutes each to assemble but that is because I an very good at puting things together. It may take the average person about an hour. Looks awesome! I wish there was a matching headboard!
We bought these tables along with the Vermont Chestnut Queen Bed. What a deal! We suggest having two people put these togther, one to read directions while the other assembles. Assembly is not difficult, but does involve some details and attention to the drawings. The drawers glide nicely and the size of the tables are pefect. Easily holds a bedside lamp, and alarm clock and a book/candles ect without being too cluttered. Given there are three drawers to these tables, this is a real bargin!
I bought these tables awhile ago, and while I love the way they look, the drawers come apart after awhile, so don't throw away the tool for tightening the bolts! the face of the drawers comes loose from the sides. Also - there is a bad smell on the inside of the drawers. Not sure what kind of wood this is, but I wouldn't keep anything in there that would absorb the smell, like pajamas, etc.
We ordered two of these as night stands. Once they are assembled, they look great. I am very happy with their appearance. The only caveat I would add is that they take some work to put together, and don't forget to put the wood screws in that ancor the whole thing together. Also, make sure you get everything lined up right when you assemble them so that the drawers work smoothly. They look great and the drawers work fine, I just had some hiccups putting the first one together.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Good.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Very Accurate.
We bought this nightstand to coordinate with the vermont dressers we bought off Overstock a few months ago- since I had already assembled two dressers, the nightstand was a piece of cake- but you should know that it will need an electric screwdriver, and a lot of patience (lots of little steps and pieces). The overall finished piece is lovely- just the right height, and able to hold important nightstand things. Not a bad deal at all!
I bought the Vermont set because I liked the lines and unfortunately encountered several problems... Pros: The wood looks lovely and darker than I expected. Cons: The product description claims that it's solid wood, but actually contains medium density fiberboard (MDF) on the inside parts. Only the outside facing parts are solid wood and the back piece is plywood (which I'm told by a wood expert is not solid wood either). In addition, I received only one box for my dresser and spent time on livechat with a relatively clueless customer service person that elevated my issue to the "research team" before getting resolved. I probably will remain waiting for another full week (and also three days after the "research team" responded from my original contact with livechat). Finally, others mentioned to be careful in putting the nightstand together. The person who completed my assembly told me that there is one of four ways to place the drawer slides, or basically a 25% chance that you got the assembly correct so make sure to PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the instructions. Overall, the customer service rep that I livechatted with gave me an exciting $10 credit for each nightstand and told me to write this review. Therefore, Overstock is not even willing to correct their product description that misrepresents the set. I'll definitely contact them again when I receive the other half of my dresser if it's not solid wood (which it probably isn't). I'm extremely dissastisfied because I would never have bought the set if the product description actually said that it wasn't solid wood. It's now put together and I'm not spending any more effort to disassemble for return, so I'm stuck with it. At least it looks nice, but I'll definitely be buying something better somewhere down the road and beware of buying furniture at a bargain, rather than a respectable furniture store!
Came already assembled. Beautiful, strong table. Very sturdy
This nightstand is exactly as pictured. Though it took time, it assembled easily. The drawers slide smoothly and are deep for lots of storage (books, books, books!)
We bought new light cherry bedroom furniture with dark cherry handles. We didn't like the accompanying nightstands. I searched all over the internet for nightstands and then I found these on Overstock. they look beautiful with our new furniture. They're well made, the color on the site matches what we received and assembly was fairly easy. I would highly recommend them.
I actually bought 2 of these to use a end tables in my family room. They are great and allow me to keep all the Stuff hidden in drawers. A bit time consuming to assemble. Be sure to read all the directions before starting just to be sure you have all the steps in mind as your start and you'll be fine.
We are not particularly handy, so after reading about some people's negative experiences with assembly, we were nervous about having to put this together ourselves. We noted the advice of other customers, followed the directions carefully, and took our time. The result was beautiful-- no problems along the way. The finished nightstand is very nice looking, and the drawers pull smoothly. The piece is of better quality, heavier, and sturdier than we expected for the price. The finish is a little darker than in the online photo, but that was to our advantage as it matches our existing furniture perfectly. Taking into consideration that this is an "assemble yourself" product, I rate the quality as excellent.
This is a beautiful and solid Chestnut color nightstand. The challenge is putting it together. It took two adults over an hour to assemble it, but once done, it was perfect for our need. All parts are clearly marked and instructions are clear to follow. We are so satisfied we are planning to buy another one for the other side of the bed. A Great Value!
