No. 10: Texas A&M
By Paul Myerberg // Aug 25, 2011
Welcome to College Station: don't forget your folding chairs. And your military regalia, love of dogs and knowledge of — don't hate the messenger — puzzling chants and yells. Pucker up after every touchdown; cheer your voice hoarse for the 12th man; rally behind a one-two backfield punch nearly unparalleled in college football; welcome back a senior quarterback, once again; and rise and welcome a coach who has rapidly transformed from a punch line to a perfect fit. It's turn back the clock year in College Station, as after the darkest decade in generations the Aggies have reclaimed some of the luster lost during rival Texas's monstrous revival under Mack Brown. Welcome back to College Station: happy days are here again.

Last year's prediction
Surely, this team has turned a corner. (Still), Texas A&M is not yet ready for prime time. While the rest of the offense is in wonderful shape, the defense has yet to prove itself capable of stopping any offense of consequence. This group will be improved, and landing DeRuyter may end up being a coup, but the defense continues to face question marks alone the line and in the secondary. It's clear that the Aggies have improved, and this improvement will reveal itself in the win column. Eight wins should be expected, thanks to this offense and a schedule conducive to early success. It will be nice to see the Aggies winning games again, especially after the last three years. Having said that, this program remains a season away from having the depth and top-to-bottom talent to challenge the Sooners and Longhorns in the Big 12.
2010 recap
In a nutshell Let's reverse the regular season, pitting Texas A&M against Texas to start the year and moving backwards through time: in this hypothetical, Texas A&M is ranked in the top three nationally once we reach the midway point. Disagree? Take a glance at what the Aggies achieved over the final half of the regular season: wins over Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech and Kansas, and extremely impressive home wins over Oklahoma and Nebraska, the latter pair coming over the first three weeks of November. It's merely a hypothetical, but one that does illustrate just how impressive the Aggies were down the stretch, erasing the foul taste of a three-game losing streak that had the team staring at a .500 mark through six games. In the process, Mike Sherman has the program and its fans in the recently infrequently habit of thinking big: after rejuvenating the program over the second half of 2010, the Aggies are eying a national championship run in 2011.
High point Six straight wins to end the season. The contenders for finest moment: a 33-19 win over Oklahoma, a 9-6 win over Nebraska and a 24-17 win in Austin over the hated Longhorns. At another program, I'd think the win over Nebraska — complete with the best home crowd of the F.B.S. season — would be the choice. Not here: it's Texas.
Low point A three-game losing streak that coincided with the start of Big 12 play; it also came on the heels of a 3-0 start to the season, evening Texas A&M's season heading into an Oct. 23 date with Kansas.
Tidbit Texas A&M's roster lists 118 players, from Alexander to Woodum and all points in between. Of those 118 players, 103 are from Texas — 87.3 percent, which is a lot. Eight players come from Louisiana, two from Florida and one each from Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin. America's Dairyland, you might ask? Well, sort of: defensive back Johntel Franklin played his high school ball in Madison, but he's in College Station via the JUCO ranks of California.
Tidbit (150-word preview edition) Today's guest writer is loyal reader Ol' Rock, whose correct answer to a quiz in the Maryland preview, which you can find along the right sidebar, earned him the opportunity to pen a 100-word preview of his favorite team. His team? The Texas A&M Aggies. Take it away, Ol' Rock; if you remember, Ol' Rock did such an amazing job answering his quiz question that he earned a shot at 150 words, not the normal 100 words:
The 2011 Fightin' Texas Aggies look very familiar, returning 18 of the 22 starters from last year, as Head Coach Mike Sherman and Defensive Coordinator Tim Deruyter look poised to show that this experienced Texas A&M squad can be a leader in the new "Big 12-2." Defense is the biggest question this year, following the loss of All-American Von Miller and MLB Michael Hodges. Seniors Coryell Judie, Trent Hunter, and Garrick Williams will need to take charge to uphold the rejuvenated "Wrecking Crew" title. The offense returns Senior QB Ryan Tannehill, the RB tandem of Cyrus "CyFy" Gray and Christine Michael, one of the nation's best WR corps headed by Jeff Fuller, and an O-Line bookended by two sophomore phenoms. In the past, A&M has had this hype and failed to live up to it. Will the 2011 Ags step up to the plate or continue to exist in irrelevance?
Tidbit (scoring edition) Texas A&M outscored the opposition by at least 100 points in each year from 1989-95 and in 14 of 16 years from 1985-98. Last fall saw the Aggies outscore their opponents by more than 100 points— 406 points scored, 285 allowed — for only the second time since 1999, joining 2000. A&M has been outscored by more than 100 points twice over the same span: in 2003, Dennis Franchione's first season, and in 2008, Sherman's first year.

Mike Sherman ('78 Central Connecticut State), 19-19 after three seasons with the Aggies. His first year couldn't have gone any worse, but A&M begin to turn the corner in 2009, adding two victories to its win total and returning to bowl play after a one-year absence. More improvement was expected in year three, as Sherman added several highly-regarded recruits better suited for his offense, and the Aggies didn't disappoint. In Sherman's favor from the start was his familiarity with the program, having served two separate stints as R.C. Slocum's offensive line coach (1989-93, 1995-96). The speed with which Texas A&M went after Sherman – he was hired three days after the besieged Franchione resigned – signaled the faith the university's administration had in his ability to turn the program around. That optimism, tested over his first two seasons, was rewarded in 2010. Sherman's impressive resume includes 12 seasons in the N.F.L. as an assistant, a head coach and an executive. His professional career started with a two-year stint as a Packers assistant (1997-98, coaching the tight ends and assisting on the offensive line) under Mike Holmgren, which was followed by one season as the Seahawks offensive coordinator, again under Holmgren. Green Bay, reeling from an 8-8 season under Ray Rhodes, tabbed Sherman as its head coach before the 2000 season, a position he held through 2005. Sherman had a six-year record of 59-43, though that was hampered by a 4-12 season in 2005; through five years, Sherman's .640 winning percentage was second in Packers history to Vince Lombardi. Sherman held an executive post in the Packers front office each of his six seasons, including, like his professional mentor Holmgren, the role of general manager from 2001 to 2004. He was fired after the 2005 season, then moved to Houston, where he was the Texans assistant head coach from 2006 to 2007.
Players to watch
Pre-Ryan Tannehill — and I'm giving him the Kansas game — against F.B.S competition: 2-3. With Ryan Tannehill: 7-1. And that's all you need to know, though I could go much deeper than that; 18 turnovers in six games under his predecessor, 12 with Tannehill, for example. What's amusing to consider in hindsight is how many questioned Tannehill's desire to continue plugging away at quarterback while the chance was there for him to play a major role at receiver, as he did as a freshman. Credit the senior for sticking to his guns and answering the call when opportunity knocked, as it did in mid-October when it became clear that the offense could go no further with Jerrod Johnson, who has since graduated.
Tannehill stepped in a delivered immediately, though opening his full-fledged quarterbacking career with Kansas and Texas Tech was a stroke of good fortune. But Tannehill piloted wins over Oklahoma, Baylor, Nebraska and Texas, among others, and while the difference offensively wasn't quite night-and-day it was clear that the Aggies were playing on a different level following the change under center. For the year, Tannehill hit on 65.0 percent of his attempts for 1,638 yards, 13 touchdowns and 6 picks, with three of those interceptions coming in bowl play.
Everything is in place for Tannehill to continue his torrid pace; everything is in place for this offense to take a significant step forward off last year's totals. The only issue, in fact, lies at backup quarterback: should Tannehill go down to injury, the Aggies will call on either redshirt freshmen Matt Joeckel and Jameil Showers or true freshman Johnny Manziel, if not some combination of the three.
So it's a very comforting fact to see what's taking place along the offensive line, which may not be the best in the Big 12 in 2011 but will certainly top the list in 2012 and 2013. By that point, sophomore tackles Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews won't be mere all-conference candidates but all-American candidates, if not national award candidates. Yes, this bookend pairing is that good: already way ahead of schedule as true freshman starters at left and right tackle, respectively, Joeckel and Matthews will quickly become the Big 12's best with added experience. They're two of the four returning starters up front, joining left guard Brian Thomas and center Patrick Lewis, who moves over from right guard to replace Matt Allen. That leaves a gap on the strong side, one A&M looks to fill with either senior Evan Eike or sophomore Shep Klinke. The latter topped the depth chart heading into August, but you can't ignore Eike's past starting experience — he started the first half of 2010 before going down to injury.
The wide receiver corps is the best in program history. Say what you will — the Aggies aren't known for receivers — but that's still a lofty statement, one that properly conveys the number of talented targets at Tannehill's disposal in the passing game. Senior Jeff Fuller (72 catches for 1,066 yards and 12 touchdowns) is one, and he's one of the nation's best. Unlike the offense as a whole, Fuller suffered a second-half lull last fall. He was able to rebound with a nice bowl game, but he needs to put together a complete season. Joining Fuller in the starting lineup, once again, are juniors Uzoma Nwachukwu (36 for 407) and Ryan Swope (72 for 825 and 4 scores). It rarely seems like Swope's going to hurt you, but then — what do you know — he does. Depth is not an issue, not here, not when A&M can tout rising understudies like Kenric McNeal (23 for 202), Nate Askew, Brandal Jackson and more. There's a reason this is the best crop of receivers in program history.
Hey, remember when Texas opted for Chris Whaley over Christine Michael three years ago? How'd that turn out for the Longhorns? Whaley has since been moved to defensive end while Michael (631 yards, 4 touchdowns) continues to produce at a very high level, though he was limited by injuries a year ago. He makes up one part of one of the nation's best one-two backfield tandems, teaming with Cyrus Gray to give the Aggies talent to burn in the running game. Remember before when I insinuated that Tannehill was the defining factor behind A&M's surge? That's not entirely correct: it was Tannehill and a dedicated ground game that propelled the offensive forward, as the Aggies averaged 180.2 rushing yards per game in finishing the regular season 6-0.
It was Gray who did the heavy lifting over the second half, ending the year with six consecutive 100-yard performances. A forgotten man prior to that point, Gray illustrated just how productive he can be when given the opportunity. Gray and Michael: both are very, very special. And they're not all that dissimilar. Both have made a living outside rather than between the tackles, though Michael has added some weight to take on a bigger role running inside. Both are big-play threats. Both can make plays in the passing game. Both are absolutely superb. With this pair and a rapidly developing offensive line, A&M might have what it takes to run on any team on its schedule.
I'm not going to say A&M's preparing a statue outside of Kyle Field, but second-year defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter's a popular guy in these parts, thanks to his immediate impact upon an underperforming group last fall. After hitting rock-bottom from 2008-9 — an average of 35.4 points per game allowed — the Aggies ended 2010 ranked 34th nationally in scoring, allowing about two fewer touchdowns per game. Just think about that: two fewer touchdowns, 14 points, in each game. Basically, that's how you get from 10-15 over two years to 9-4 and in the Cotton Bowl. And the defense should improve with time, though there are holes to fill off last year's depth chart.
The most daunting are at linebacker, which I'll touch on below. The three-man front in DeRuyter's aggressive 3-4 system lost a three-year starter — that's a lot of threes — in end Lucas Patterson, though his counterpart on the opposite side, Tony Jerod-Eddie, brings 25 career starts into 2011. Jerod-Eddie (49 tackles, 2.5 for loss) would play inside in a more typical defensive alignment, but he has perfect size for a 3-4 end. The same can be said of senior Jonathan Mathis (41 tackles), who played nose tackle in 2010 but is a better fit outside. Another factor behind Mathis's move to end was the projected arrival of JUCO tackle LaMarc Strahan, a true 3-4 tackle with the sort of size DeRuyter's defense desires in the middle.
So much for that: Strahan was unable to pass the grade academically, leaving A&M scrambling to find a starter at nose tackle. DeRuyter didn't have to look far to find junior Eddie Brown (25 tackles, 5 for loss), a part-time starter — he started six games, Mathis seven — over the nose in 2010. Of course, the Aggies could always return Mathis to nose tackle and have he and Brown continue to share snaps; that would lead A&M to call upon a returning contributor like junior Spencer Nealy (20 tackles, 5 for loss) or senior Ben Bass, if not opt for a relative unknown like sophomore Ivan Robinson or redshirt freshman Gavin Stansbury. I think the Aggies will keep Brown inside, where he played well last fall, but depth will take a hit without Strahan in the mix.
The secondary returns intact, and don't give me any guff about this being a bad thing, not a good thing. Save it: the overall numbers belie how effective this secondary was for the wide majority of 2010 — take into account, for example, the fact that while A&M finished 89th in the country in yardage allowed per game the defense ranked 30th in pass efficiency defense. You're bound to give up some yards in the Big 12; you're bound to give up even more when leading by a touchdown or two in the second half, which occurred often down the stretch.
I can't think of any reason why the pass defense won't improve, minus one: the pass rush needs to find another star. If the Aggies can remain potent on third down, there's enough returning and rising talent for A&M to go toe-to-toe with the rest of the Big 12. The star of the secondary is senior cornerback Coryell Judie (57 tackles, 4 interceptions), a former JUCO transfer who debuted well despite a nagging shoulder injury. Judie should be better in 2011, thanks to his clean bill of health and the added year in DeRuyter's system. Judie also makes a huge impact on kickoff returns, taking two back for scores in 2010. His running mate will again be senior Terrence Frederick, unless Lionel Smith leapfrogs ahead, with junior Dustin Harris (43 tackles, 4 interceptions) rounding out the top quartet.
The safeties could use some work. But there is adequate depth behind starters Trent Hunter (62 tackles, 2 picks) and Steven Campbell, particularly at free safety, where Campbell should get the nod. He split time last fall with fellow junior Steven Terrell, but neither provided much production or consistency at this key spot in the defensive backfield. Look out for a handful of redshirt freshmen, Louis Swope and Clay Honeycutt in particular, as the opportunity is there for both to earn snaps at free and strong safety, respectively. Finally, one important note: DeRuyter knows defense, but he really knows pass defense.
Position battle(s) to watch
Linebacker Von Miller has moved on, yet he remains the primary topic of conversation when discussing A&M's current defense — as in, What are the Aggies going to do without Von Miller? I'll you what they'll do: Miller's irreplaceable, but throw enough bodies into the rotation and you'll find a way to recoup his lost production. In essence, no one player is going to fill his shoes, but three of four rush linebackers can maintain A&M's standing among the top half of the Big 12 in getting to the quarterback. But who replaces Miller in the starting lineup? It would be sophomore Damontre Moore (40 tackles, 5.5 sacks), should he ever extricate himself from Sherman's doghouse — not a fun place to be at all, from most accounts. Moore's won't be Miller overnight, but there's no doubting his potential. One player who has surprised everyone with his play in August has been freshman Tyrell Taylor, a lightly-regarded prospect whom most viewed as a multiple-year project. As of now, Taylor's in line for some significant snaps. As is junior Caleb Russell, who might be the starter if the season started today. Lost in the hubbub regarding Miller's departure is the loss of inside linebacker Michael Hodges, a former transfer who held a major role — on the field and off — for the Aggies in 2010; for evidence of his importance to this defense, take note of how A&M folded up shop once he was lost to injury in the bowl loss to L.S.U. Junior Jonathan Stewart is the leading candidate to fill his spot, though yes, Kyle Mangan is also an option. The winner of that slight position battle would line up alongside all-Big 12 candidate Garrick Williams (team-best 112 tackles) in the middle of A&M's 3-4. Rounding out the starting quartet is outside linebacker Sean Porter (74 tackles), a converted safety who may just be the best of this entire group.
Game(s) to watch
S.M.U. will be aiming for an upset in the season opener, but don't bet on that happening. The Aggies don't have a true road game until the second Saturday of October and play only four true road games all year, though the date with Arkansas is on a neutral field. The big games, in order of importance: Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Arkansas. Maybe the off-and-on rivalry with Arkansas will become a yearly occurrence in 2012?
Season breakdown & prediction
In a nutshell You almost want to find an excuse not to be so high on the Aggies, as it's very easy to get wrapped up in a fine half-season and over-rank a team's capabilities heading into the following year. That could be the case in College Station; A&M was mediocre through six games, absolutely outstanding over the next six games and a disappointment in bowl play. Yet try as I might, I can't find a rational excuse not to have A&M among the top 10 teams in the country, behind only Oklahoma in the Big 12 and very much in the mix for a B.C.S. bowl berth. And yes, part of that — a very solid portion, in fact — stems from the way the Aggies ended last season. The quarterback change was a no-brainer at the time, but few could have predicted how well Tannehill would perform under center. The running game is a behemoth thanks to two outstanding backs and an offensive line that may develop into one of the nation's best by the time the Aggies round out Big 12 play. The receiver corps, as noted, is the best in program history. You look towards the defense and have a few concerns — interior of the line, rush end and safety — but I have tremendous confidence in DeRuyter, the second-year coordinator whose units only grow stronger with more experience. What's not to like? Well, I could point out non-home dates with Arkansas and Oklahoma and games at College Station against Oklahoma State, Missouri and Texas as enough rationale for placing A&M here, not three or four spots higher. This team won't go undefeated; I think closer to 10-2, though every game is winnable. Remember when the Aggies were an afterthought? It seems as if times have changed.
Dream season Texas A&M beats Oklahoma, tops Texas by 35 points and survives a close game against Arkansas to finish the season 12-0 and in the national title game.
Nightmare season We took too much from last year's second-half surge: the Aggies slide back to 7-5, 5-4 in the Big 12.

I'm wondering if it is the Ducks, who outscored their opponents by a whopping 350 points last fall…
As an Oregon student, I hope they're not this low!
I guess Oregon could be this low.
Paul, i'd really like to know your thoughts on all the A&M-to-the-SEC craziness from the last few weeks. Where do you weigh in on it? What are your thoughts on how realistic a probability it is, who the SEC would add alongside them, what the ramifications might be?
I'm going to say Oregon. As a FSU fan, I'm fairly certain it isn't the Noles, which makes me happy they're higher than #9.
Keep up the good work.
Hmm, #9 can't be Stanford. Stanford outscored its opponents by 298 in 2010. Looking through the team's media guide, I counted 17 seasons in which they scored more than 298 points.
From what I can tell, besides Stanford, it could be:
Boise State
Florida State
Virginia Tech
I'm going with Boise State.
It's definitely Oregon.
It's Oregon. Even though I'm a huge Duck fan I can't argue with a #9 ranking. The ducks are lacking a large amount of experience in a few key positions and, as a result, I expect them to drop about 2 regular season games. I am, however, surprised that Stanford will be ranked higher than Oregon since they will be losing about the same amount of starters and talent in addition to their head coach and, more importantly in my mind, their defensive coordinator.
I can't believe that hideous game they played against Okie State doesn't get mentioned as their "low point".
But I understand, I too have made every effort to forget that awful display of unsightly football. It just must horrible to be a fan of a team in that conference.
19-19 is pretty mediocre and sherman was out the door during parts of last season, now he's their savior and a&m is a top tier program again-not buying it. still think this team has a long way to go. wouldn't be surprised if j jones & the ponies leave college station with the city on fire.
The record book shows that it's Oregon. My comments tomorrow.
@ michael –
Among other ramifications (e.g. a race to a handful of 16-team superconferences that will exacerbate the differences between FBS haves and have-nots), it will seriously dilute any strength-of-conference arguments. After all, how meaningful is it to emerge undefeated from a conference when you didn't even play 4 of your in-conference rivals?
During the three game slide, fans in College Station were calling for the end of the Sherman era. Expectations were too high for Sherman from the start. People forget that the starting quarterback last year, Jerod Johnson, was coming off shoulder surgery on his throwing arm and the weakness that resulted helped to cause the turnovers that plagued the A&M team in the first six games. The three game slide that happened last year was due in large part to the poor play of Jerod Johnson. He threw the interception that lost the OSU game and was basically a walking turnover. I think that things could have been much different if Tannehill had been the starter from the start. If you actually look at the majority of interceptions thrown by JJ you can see that they were underthrown to wide open recievers. Tannehill would have had no problem getting the ball to open recievers.
Whoop!! Great Write Up Paul. Looking forward to the rest of the list!…Best way to countdown to 1st day of football!
I love watching the young tackles play – except on Thanksgiving. They took some lumps last year, but these guys have great bloodlines and barring injury, we will be watching them play for years. Luke Joeckel in particular is fun to watch – athletic for a big man ( his twin brother is the back up qb) with a mean streak.
I am hoping for a year full of surpeises with teams that traditionaly do not do well, will be in the top 5 and win the national championship. It gets old having the same poeple up every year.

5 Affordable Date Night Ideas That Won't Make You Look Cheap
Just because your wallet is hurting these days doesn't mean your romantic life should be. Try out one of these five bargain dates that will not only entertain her, but keep her in the dark about your monetary woes.
By Jesse Bouche
It's Friday (or any other night from Monday through Sunday) and it's date night. You've been hacking away at that credit card balance and student loan for the last four years and somehow all of your well-laid financial plans are being destroyed by a 130-pound demon.
It's not her fault. She doesn't mean to do it. She just wants to have fun, meet up for dinner after work, maybe see a movie, see some friends for drinks, check out a show. That's all. That's all until you log into your online banking and realize that yet again, you'll be dipping into your savings or worse, your credit line.
Here's the hard truth - you have to stop . Say goodbye to dinners out, movies, and after-work drinks. A dinner with drinks followed by a night out can easily run you upwards of $200. And even when you're pulling in that seemingly incredible Junior Merchandiser salary of $42,000 a year, that's not going to fly. Why? Because after taxes, $200 a week spent on dinner, drinks, movies and shows equates to about 30% of your income. That's what you should be spending on housing.
I know, I sound as fun as eating wet bread. But, there is a way. You can still have a good time, impress your lady and save your bank balance. Here's how:
1. Become a Patron of the Art (Opening)
When I was an undergrad, I had a lot of friends who attended the nearby art college and I learned a thing or two from my chronically broke art friends. Most importantly, that drinks and food are usually free at art openings.
This Thursday, get your hands on your city's free alternative weekly and if your town has an arts mag, that's even better. Now, flip to the arts section and look for openings this weekend. Look for one that seems like a good match, maybe check out the gallery online first, and then set a date with your girl.
You've simultaneously eliminated the pre-date drink meetup while impressing her with your interest in the visual arts (and boosted your indie art cred to boot). Cha-ching.
2. Take Her to a Concert
But...but...but concert tickets are more than $100?! Yeah, if you're trying to score tickets to see Britney Spears or Elton John. But, if you're taking her to see someone like Sharon Jones, Feist or Fleet Foxes (all pretty safe "lady" bets in my opinion), tickets may only run you $20 or so a pop.
And if you're taking her to see Cupid's Machete, the shitty local band that plays every other week, you're likely looking at ticket prices ranging from just $5-$10 on the high end.
And when you're watching a show, guess what you're not doing a lot of? Drinking and eating. Sure, people drink at shows, but not as much as when they're just sitting around doing nothing else. Besides, you're there to "take in the music," right?
3. Set...

Team PHenomenal Hope, an all-women cycling team featuring a PH-treating physician, will compete in a high-endurance cycling event, Race Across America (RAAM) in June 2014. The team will be racing to raise awareness of PH and funds to support the Pulmonary Hypertension Association and research to find a cure.
The RAAM course will put the team through an intense, non-stop physical challenge across 9 days; 3,000 miles; and 170,000 vertical feet of elevation. This physical challenge mirrors the life experiences of PH patients and families as they cope with the impact of PH in their lives.
PHA has launched the Race of Our Lives campaign to rally PH community members behind Team PHenomenal Hope, creating opportunities for patients, families and medical professionals to raise funds and awareness in their own communities. Race of Our Lives allows everyone touched by PH to be part of this coast-to-coast trek symbolic of the PH journey.

Customer Feedback
"I just wanted to let you know that the tree I ordered...6.5 foot Chesapeake pre lit Christmas tree...came in one day as promised...ALL lights working upon flipping the switch, in perfect condition and easy to set up all by myself. It's a beautiful artificial Christmas tree with lots of tips, lots of Christmas lights, strong metal hinges, sturdy base, realistic branches...I am thoroughly pleased with the quality of product and service. It is our first "fake" tree...thought I'd never see the day I'd do it...but I'm glad I did. Buying an artificial Christmas tree sight unseen was a bit scary, because I'm very picky, but I couldn't be happier!

This tower heater earned The Best rating from the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute because it worked the fastest, warming an entire room almost an hour sooner than other units. During testing, The Best model took only 130 minutes to raise a small room's temperature by more than 40� F without leaving any cold corners, while lesser heaters needed 180 minutes. Instead of inefficient blades, The Best heater uses an annular jet that draws in and amplifies airflow to efficiently distribute the heat over larger distances. The desired temperature can be set on an easy-to-read LCD screen, and the simple oscillation and tilt functions direct the warmth to a precise location. Designed for safety without spinning blades or exposed heating elements, The Best model has an auto-shut off function that cuts the power if the unit tips over. The Best Tower Heater has an adjustable thermostat, is lightweight and portable, and converts to a cooling fan for all-season use. Heats up to a 300' sq. room. Includes remote control. Assembly required. Black or Gray. 22 3/4" L x 7 3/4" W x 6" D. (5 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Best Tower Heater comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.Should you have any questions, we are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Please call 1-800-321-1484 to speak with a product specialist or email us at email@example.com to receive a response within one hour.

Because advances in technology have made personal watercraft options from brands like Sea-Doo, Jet Ski, Kawasaki and WaveRunner more accessible and easier to use, more people are enjoying them each year. PWCs are also incredibly versatile and are becoming popular for towing wake boarders, tubers, and water skiers, exploring waterways and fishing. They can even be used as transportation to and from overnight camp sites.
To fully enjoy a PWC, riders must be responsible, safe and educated about operating one. Before you insert the key into the ignition, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
* Are you of legal age in your state to operate a PWC?
* Do you know your craft and the specific ways it operates compared to other PWCs?
* Have you read all instructional materials and labels from the manufacturer?
* Do you know the "rules of the road" on the water?
* Are you wearing a personal flotation device (PFD) and neoprene shorts?
If you answer "no" to any of these questions, it's time to head back to the dock.
Responsible riding isn't just about personal safety. It also includes being considerate of those around you. Be mindful of other vessels in your vicinity and how your rate of speed or wake affects them. And don't forget about marine life: Respect ecologically sensitive areas.
The Personal Watercraft Industry Association offers important safety tips, rider rules, local laws and PWC etiquette for riders of every skill level. Information on instructional courses and downloadable safety materials, including a brief handbook titled Riding Rules for Personal Watercraft and PWC Orientation Checklist can be found at www.pwia.org. Additional information can also be found through the United States Coast Guard. Getting educated about riding a PWC responsibly will ensure you're equipped to handle the vessel and can enjoy a fun-filled day on the water.
Before you get your feet wet, remember to ride responsibly. Visit www.pwia.org to learn more about riding responsibly, or visit us on twitter @PWIA_News.

Yes, we know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, it's what's inside that counts, and so on and so forth.
But like the body of Arnold with a Denzel face, a beautifully presented gift never hurt anybody.
In today's video, we asked Geren Ford designer/founder Geren Lockhart to show us a few of her favorite wrapping techniques from her Los Angeles home. Lockhart, who's been renowned by friends for her pretty packages for years, showed us two methods: one for a soft package (above) and the other for a boxed gift.
While we were in the zone, a few DailyCandy editors came up with nine neat ways to wrap a present in brown craft paper. (Faux bois stamps? Felt acorns? Check.)
Appearance is all that matters.
For more information on Lockhart, go to gerenford.com.

When setting the table for your fall feast, use the jar as a centerpiece of riches to share with family and friends.
And because not everyone is so fortunate, we're using our bounty to spread the word about Future Fortified. More than 200 million kids don't have diets with enough essential nutrients — and Future Fortified wants to change that.
Join us on Twitter this week (#thankfulforthefuture) and share what you're thankful for.
So we can build a better future for all.
Our friends at Future Fortified have created a message template to help get your family's gratitude jar started. Find out more about their effort to rid the world of malnutrition at futurefortified.org.
The majority of the adult American population requires an excuse (read: Halloween) to indulge its gemstone-and-feather-costume fantasies (drag queens, Katy Perry, and Big Bird excluded).
But every day is a dress-up day for the 6-and-under set. Which is why we think a mask bar ensures success at a Halloween fete — or on an average Thursday afternoon.
We suggest prepping felt mask shapes — owl, octopus, bunny, superhero — ahead of time. Then gather jewels, glitter, pipe cleaners, fabric scraps, jingle bells, and any other accoutrement that goes well with glue. Unload the supplies on a table and let little revelers have their way.
We bet the results will be too cute to keep undercover.
Looking for more creative ideas? Harvest art is still in season.
Your little's relationship with produce is less than fruitful. If it's not juiced, pouched, or rolled up, she's not interested.
But we have a way to stamp out the problem once and for all.
It just takes a little creativity — and a lot of paint. Turn apples into lunchtime art, celery into floral masterpieces, and potatoes into just about anything at all. Slice, dip, stamp, and play.
We're sure they'll fall for it.
If artisanal ice cream is the new cupcake, what to do with all those cute cupcake wrappers?
We've found six ways to turn the humble, pleated paper cup into your party's main attraction. From ice cream bowls and name card holders to garlands and flowers — it's a cupcake wrapper celebration you'll eat up.
Without a smidge of frosting.
Cupcake wrappers available at bakeitpretty.com.
Glitter and glue sticks go together like Lewis and Clark — it's always an adventure.
But as much as we love a good art project, we're also a bit crazy about an orderly play space. That's why we're building a case for the bookcase craft center.
It's simple enough that even the most artistically challenged parent can pull it together, small enough that it fits into a kid-size bedroom, and organized enough that a 4-year-old can manage the cleanup.
Don't believe us? Just watch.
When it comes to being the fun parent, there's no contest — Dad always wins.
On Father's Day, help him keep his cool cred with a scavenger hunt on ice. In today's video (our first-ever Kids production), we show you how your chips off the old block can have a chilled-out time with dear old Dad.
All you need is distilled water, a few toys that can get wet, a freezer, and the foresight to prep the activity in advance.
But that shouldn't be a problem. Moms are cool like that.
Your rallying cry from May through September: "Long live the maxidress."
But sooner or later, you're going to have a midriff reveal (the beach, swimming lessons, bra fitting, sex). And though a little jiggle in the middle is a well-deserved badge of honor, the truth is you'd be prouder of rock-hard abs.
So we asked fitness guru Tracy Anderson for her tips on re-engaging the core after having a baby. With her help, you'll be on your way to a bikini faster than you can say crop top.
Want to keep going? Check out all our exercise videos with Anderson (including combating love handles, batwings, and saddlebags). To buy her Metamorphosis DVD collection, go to tracyandersonmethod.com.
Love: Ain't it grand? Except when it's not — and you have to stay in bed, because small things (minivan commercials, the store being out of Cool Ranch Doritos, happy couples) make you sob.
To help us remember when it was all cupids and hearts, we enlisted the help of some children, all 5 to 8 years old. We asked them about everything from whom they love (and if they have boyfriends/girlfriends) to how to mend a broken heart.
One little girl, who was initially shy, boldly proclaimed she'd recently seen her parents kissing — on the lips. Another said she doesn't want to get married unless it's to her little brother.
Which should be enough to get us through Valentine's Day, with or without chips. Want another feel-good video? Here's one in which we asked people about what makes them happy.

Contemporary or traditional, chains, belts or ropes - we carry stanchions in a wide variety of styles, options and colors for both indoor and outdoor use. So when the fans come out en masse or bill deadlines bring overcrowded lines to your bank, come to Hertz Furniture to help keep things orderly.
Stanchions come in handy on a variety of occasions. If you know that many newcomers are visiting your company or school, you can easily direct them to the appropriate location. They can also be used to control the flow of foot traffic. When it's time for the school play, graduation or orchestra performance, creating straight and orderly lines to the ticket booth will be a cinch.
Crowd control stanchions come in a number of different styles. If you want to use them for a concert hall or chapel, you might prefer the more classic style. This option combines shiny sleek metal finishes with rich velour rope to create a vintage opera house charm. Crowd control ropes are available in a selection of deep hues that can be coordinated to any elegant room.
The modern stanchion style is versatile and user-friendly. It features retractable belts which are connected to crowd control posts. Belts can be attached in any direction, which provides maximum flexibility. They retract slowly to prevent injury and are easy to attach for quick arrangement. Belts are available in a huge selection of colors. Depending on what you are using them for, you may choose a more subtle hue or a vibrant attention-grabber.
If you are constantly setting up stanchions in the same location and configuration, wall-mounted stanchions are an excellent choice. Rather than dragging posts in and out of storage every time you have an event, you can simply stretch out the belt and be all set up in no time. When the belt is not being used, the small piece will hardly be noticed as it rests subtly on the wall.
For your convenience, stanchion posts and ropes are available in complete sets. When you order a set, you know that you are getting everything you need to create orderly lines. If you prefer to mix and match or you just want to replace a few pieces, separate crowd control posts and ropes are available as well.
What good are stanchions if nobody knows where they are leading to? The best way to ensure that everyone is clear as to where they are going is by labeling stanchions using sign frames. Sign frames can be used to convey important announcements or messages or to provide clear instructions. They can be screwed right on top of stanchion posts or used independently.
Hertz Furniture has high-quality crowd control stanchions that will help you direct your customers and visitors in a classy way. Our crowd control ropes and posts are designed for many years of use and benefit If you need help deciding on the optimal model, color or number of stanchion posts, contact the Hertz Design Center for free design and project-planning advice.

Rodrick Markus reached for the top shelf of a metal cabinet at the back of his office. "I know, I know, I know," he said to himself. His fingers worked across a row of jars and stopped at a tall glass cylinder. I had asked him about rare ingredients. Rare ingredients is about 40 percent of what he does. He locates tough-to-acquire things for chefs who, being chefs, want something especially bad when they are told it will be impossible to get. Rare vegetables, salts, oils, spices, nuts, fish eggs — he finds the guy who locates the guy who heard of the guy who knows the guy who knows about, say, a place in the Pacific Northwest where, with the right permit at the right time, you can forage for a rare pine bark that grows 25 feet in the air.
He placed the jar in front of me. At the bottom was a single pale blue rock resembling a square stone.
"Whale vomit," he said.
Huh, I said.
"Actually, ambergris," he said, using the proper term for the gunk that collects in the gastrointestinal tracts of whales, then gets excreted via blowholes. "Mixologists like ambergris," he continued. "It is one of the best things. I've had a number of people request it. Aviary —"
His cellphone rang.
His cellphone always rings, the area codes far-flung and foreign. This one, however, was a 312. "Excuse me," he said, answering, then: "What's happening! … The caviar will be there tomorrow. … No problem. … I'll be there in an hour. … I've got some insane ones right now. … Insane, yes. … Lightly broken around the cap, about $50 a pound. Perfect, $59. … I'll just bring the whole road show. … Whatever strikes your fancy. … No problem. … Cheers!"
He put down the phone.
Matt Kirkley, he explained, chef at L2O, looking for truffles. Not unusual. Chef Phillip Foss of EL Ideas (and previously Lockwood) told me: "It would be a major shock to what I do if Rod were not in Chicago. He's a great middleman." Carrie Nahabedian of Naha said: "Rod will not jump though flaming hoops for everyone, but if you have a connection with him and need to navigate the red tape, he's the guy." In fact, asked how they landed rare ingredients before Markus, who began offering such things only half a dozen years ago, many chefs could not easily recall.
Whale vomit, I said.
"Right, whale vomit," he said. "I was trying to find some. I found these New Zealand guys who collect it, beach combers who forage. It gathers on the surface of the ocean, either washes up or people skim it off. Here, smell." He held the calcified lump beneath my nose. It had the unmistakable whiff of ocean. "Closest thing to the ocean I've smelled," he said. "It's used in drinks. It's worth $50 to $200 a gram, and anything that's not a drug that's worth that much at a gram, I find fascinating. But I can't sell it. Fish and Wildlife would have a problem. I don't want a SWAT team here. I give some away. The cost of business."
Tea's p's and q's
The other 60 percent of what Markus sells is tea. It's what he's best known for.
He owns Rare Tea Cellar, an import and wholesale business with a Ravenswood Avenue warehouse stocked floor to ceiling with rare teas and odd blends, many of which have become mainstays on Chicago's fine-dining scene. His tea sells for between $25 and $20,000 a pound; the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas sells one of his teas for $500 a pot.
The rare-ingredients thing was born from a discomfort with waiting around for restaurants to reorder his teas. That discomfort, however, tapered off in the past few years. In fact, though he's been selling tea throughout Chicago — and to a lesser extent, the country — since the late 1990s, in the last few years he's become ubiquitous within Chicago restaurant circles.
"He's the Jedi of Chicago tea," said chef Curtis Duffy, "the guy who knows everything about tea and can get anything else too. I wouldn't say he's the only one out there, but he is the only one who follows through. Others say they can get things. They never follow through, or get it, then quality drops once they have you. Rod, he gets the best stuff or not at all."
Said Shashank Goel, a Chicago-based tea merchant whose family owns 12 tea estates in India and provides Markus with several varieties: "I would never think to bring Rod a standard black tea to sell. I do not think of him ever as the guy who sells a standard tea. I think of him as the guy for whom I only produce a certain black tea during a certain moon cycle from a certain plant that's been plucked in a certain way."
Earlier this month, on a weekday night, Markus could be found in the kitchen of Grace, Duffy's upcoming restaurant on Randolph Street. The table tops in the kitchen were still covered in plastic, the walls still skeletons of thin metal. Duffy leaned back against the counter. Markus stood beside him, dressed as always: black suit coat, black pants, black shoes, black scarf, black dress shirt (open one button too many). Across the kitchen table were 15 or so of service staff, furiously taking notes.
"What if someone wants to put something in their tea?" a young man asked.
"Great question," Markus said, then solemnly: "Occasionally, someone is going to ask you for sweetener. This is a problem we need to talk about. I suggest, number one, using honey. Then cane sugar. But don't be surprised is someone asks for a Splenda. It's unfortunate, but as long as it's not offending anyone else in the dining room, you will just have to go along with it."
