It worked great to celebrate our Football Homecoming - decorating the field and our Homecoming Party afterwards! We had strong winds that kept pushing it over so we had to secure it by using it somewhere different. Overall, it worked (& looked) perfect!! Keep the box it came in to store the standee. The paint will scratch right off if mistreated in any way...

Best Uses
I am using this for my hisband's birthday party. He is a coach of a local high school team. I had their mascot and school initials put on it. It would be great for a team or school event .

where would donald fit on this defense?
are we changing to a 4-3 ANY time soon??
I think it is unfair to say Donald could not play DE in a 3-4. I mean Donald is 285Lbs at under 6ft, 1. Aaron Smith was 295 when he played DE for us, but he was 6ft, 5. So at 10 Lbs less is not a big deal when you factor in Donald's height. Also, Donald was amazingly fast, and did 36 Reps at the Combine...among the best of everyone there. So considering all that, why do you or anyone else automatically say he could not be a 3-4 DE ?
Donald is too small to be a nose tackle, I say.
Rara's very early 2015 NFL Mock Draft
Round 1- Jalen Collins, CB; LSU
Round 2- Eric Lefeld, OT; Cincinatti
Round 3- Tyler Kroft, TE; Rutgers
Round 4- Geneo Grissom, OLB; Oklahoma
Round 5- Jonathon Mincy, CB; Auburn
Round 6- Jamil Douglas, OG; Arizona State
Round 7- Spencer Roth, P; Baylor
How about we mandate that our Hall of Fame, "genius" defensive coordinator find a way to use him? Radical thought I know.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
Regarding Dallas and Donald being on the board I would jump at a 5th round pick and let them move up a spot to grab him.

Is This Site Funny Enough to Win an Award?
It's Jim Windolf day here on VF.com. First, we called out The New York Times for blatantly (maybe) stealing an illustration idea from one of Jim's blog posts from last year. Now we're cravenly shilling for votes in an effort to earn him a "major award."No, it's not a leg-shaped lamp, it's Best Humor Writing of 2008 (or something), as determined by users of ComedySmack, one of the Web's funniest humor sites.
What did Jim to deserve this honor, you ask? Only imagine a disturbing epistolary flirtation between Barack Obama and Sarah Palin, which our crack design team (them again) fashioned into an incongruously elegant slide show. Relive the glory of the original right now, and then shoot on over too ComedySmack to power Jim to victory.
We thank you in advance for your strict obedience to these orders.

Works good most of the time, but sometimes it is hard to make the cut straight as the opening allows the tube to be up to 1", so when cutting 1/2" tube there is a lot of play.

Great Cutter
By Trainman
from Woburn, MA
I used this cutter on the 1" PEX tubing and it worked great, clean straight cuts every time.
Great tool chest addition.
By Pablo
from Pasadena, Texas
I have used other PVC/vinyl cutters in the past and found the Wirsbo(Uponor)tube cutter to be by far the best! Comfortable to grip, easy to use and best of all, it WORKS GREAT! Makes nice clean cuts with ease. This tool has replaced the other brand "wanna-be" cutters in my tool box.
Another useful tool
By T.Baker
from Illinois
These worked great for my replumb job. Made quick straight cuts of my Pex tubing. I had 1/2" and 3/4".No issues as long as your tubing is straight and the cutter is at 90deg. They did not cost a bundle either since this was for one project.
By Thatguy
from Maine
Very easy to use. It cut square for me.
Works fine
By DIY Plumber
from NJ
I purchased to cut 3/4 and 1" pex tubing. does not make perfectly square cuts, but they are more than good enough for proper fastening with cinch clamps.
Well designed tube cutter
By acd
from Framingham, MA
Uponor continues the tradition of outstanding designand quality. Tubing cutter works great and cuts clean and straight. Pex supply is my only source for plumbing products with very fast shipping (1day). I had to return a few items that were purchased and Pex promptly answered my RMA within 24 hours. Order with confidence from Pex Supply, no other internet company can match price or the quality of service. FIVE STARS.
Awesome Product
By Peter
from West Greenwich, RI
This cutter works effortlessly. Makes perfectly square cuts with no burrs, necessary for ease of assembling the pex sharkbite fittings. Well worth the extra cost.
Quality Cutter
By Weekend Warrior
from ME
Cuts pex piping very easily and straight
Clean Cuts
By NOTAPLUMBER

This cuts through pex like butter. Makes clean square cuts with ZERO effort. If you installing pex you would be crazy not to buy this

.- British cabinet members are demanding a "free vote" over a bill that would promote cloning and the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos, and would remove the requirement to consider the need for a father in offering IVF treatments, the Observer reports.
The IVF regulations will remove restrictions on single women and homosexual couples' ability to undergo fertility treatments. Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, has called that aspect of the bill 'profoundly wrong' because it 'radically undermines the place of the father in a child's life'.
The Human Fertilization and Embryology Bill is a government bill, which means that any government-allied Ministers of Parliament voting against the bill could be disciplined for voting against it, or even merely for abstaining.
Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly and Welsh Secretary Paul Murphy, both Catholics, are leading the calls to permit a "free vote," which would remove the threat of disciplinary action against dissenting legislators. At present, only amendments regarding abortion will be allowed a free vote.
Defense Secretary Des Browne, Northern Ireland Office minister Paul Goggins, and three whips, all Catholics, also have objections to the bill.
Kelly recently met with the Labor Party's chief whip Geoff Hoon to discuss possible options. In an unusual concession, Hoon said objecting legislators and ministers could absent themselves fro the vote. 'He told her that MPs who had difficulties with their conscience should just not be around when the voting took place - that is, be allowed to be absent,' said one MP who is close to Kelly, according to the Spectator.
Critics have rejected that option and are advocating a free vote on the entire bill.
The bill will enter the House of Commons after Easter.

- "Hutz is the name, Mr. Simpson. Lionel Hutz, attorney at law. Here's my card. It turns into a sponge when you put it in water."
- ―Lionel Hutz
Bart Gets Hit by a Car is the tenth episode of Season 2. The episode was first broadcast on January 10, 1991. Also it's the first appearance of Lionel Hutz.
Bart is knocked off his skateboard by Mr. Burns in his car. After a brief trip to Heaven, and a slightly less brief visit to Hell, he falls to Earth. With the help of dodgy lawyer, Homer tries to sue Burns for a million dollars. Marge and Lisa discover there are many ways that you can lie, but one way to tell the truth. When Marge is called to the witness stand, she refuses to lie and it leads to Mr. Burns winning the case.
Full StoryEdit
While out riding his skateboard with reckless abandon, Bart is hit by a car driven by Homer's boss, Mr. Burns. While Burns and Smithers argue about what to do about him, his soul floats out of his body and he ascends a luminous stairway to Heaven. He spies the rest of the Simpsons' ancestors, including a certain Simpson strangling his son, akin to Homer. When Bart spits over the edge, the stairway turns into a chute and sends him directly to Hell. After the Devil looks over his case history on his computer, he sees that Bart is not due to arrive in Hell for nearly another century. As he begins to regain consciousness, the Devil tells him to be rebellious and listen to heavy metal music. Bart wakes up in a hospital bed with Homer, Marge, Lisa and a strange man hovering over him. Asking the strange man, Lionel Hutz, who he is, Lionel presents Homer with his card and tells him if he wants to make a lot of money, to give him a call. Marge demands that he leave at once, stating they're not interested in Hutz' offer. Dr. Hibbert arrives to gives out his prognosis and that Bart's injuries are minor. Acting on his lawyers' advice, Mr. Burns offers Homer money to ensure he does not take legal action against him. But he only offers Homer a paltry $100. He turns it down because it barely covers Bart's medical bills. Burns being an extortionist, quickly throws Homer out of his office. Undaunted, he calls Lionel Hutz to take him up on his offer against Marge's warning.
After learning that Homer is going to sue him, Mr. Burns becomes furious and decides to fire him. After Smithers reminds him that firing a man whose son he hit with a car would be bad for his image, Burns has no choice but to settle the lawsuit in court or talk the Simpsons out of it.At Hutz's office, he assures Homer that if he does exactly what he says, he can get a settlement for a million dollars (of which he gets 50% as part of his fee). But to do it, Bart has to lie about the extent of his injuries. To further stack the deck in their favor, Hutz uses the legal testimony of a shady doctor, Dr. Nick Riviera, to come up with his own diagnosis. However, Marge is suspicious and skeptical of his medical qualifications. She decries Dr. Riviera as a fake for exaggerating Bart's condition and quickly confronts Hutz for his actions. Marge reminds him that Dr. Hibbert has been their family physician for years and knows Bart is fine. When Homer tries to denounce Dr. Hibbert, Marge sees the first warning signs of his greed. Later on at the Simpson House, Hutz coaches Bart on exaggerating his condition to help win the jury's sympathy. However, Marge's suspicions doesn't go unnoticed as Lisa also sees what they're doing is wrong. She and Marge make their objections clear that suing Mr. Burns for the amount of money is wrong and demands Bart tells the truth in court. Hutz quickly dismisses them, but his claims in what he does is "truth" does little to convince Marge and Lisa otherwise, as they still believe what they're doing is wrong.
Both Bart and Mr. Burns present exaggerated, outrageous memories of the accident on the stand. However, the civil jury is more accepting of Bart's fabricated story and shows sympathy for him. However, Marge and Lisa show their shared disgust for Hutz because they're still convinced that he made Bart lie. Things seem to be looking up for Hutz and Homer. After the trial, Mr. Burns is seen yelling at his lawyers when they suggest a settlement because the civil jury hates him. In a last attempt to get them to drop the lawsuit, he invites Homer and Marge to his home. He offers them $500,000 to settle the case and then leaves the room to let them discuss it. Burns listens in on their conversation in the next room by looking through the cut-out eyes of a painting. Back in the living room, Marge is feeling guilty for lying in court. She pleads with Homer to drop the case and accept the money. Mr. Burns has a panic attack when he hears Homer openly and abrasively objects to her request. He demands to know why Marge wants him to accept the settlement and not wait to be paid the full million like Hutz promised them. Marge reveals she and Lisa were against suing Mr. Burns from the start and they would've been very happy with him paying for Bart's medical bills and apologizing for the accident. Homer refuses and wants to hold out for the full million by stating that he knows Mr. Burns is going to lose the case and will have to pay them anyway. Having enough of his behavior, Marge admits she hates the situation for what it's become including Homer's greed, falsified testimony, the dishonest lawyers and the use of "phony doctors". Upon hearing that Homer and Hutz using a quack, Mr. Burns walks back into the room and withdraws his offer. He then sends both Homer and Marge on their way out by releasing the hounds.
The next day in court, Mr. Burns' lawyer calls an unprepared Marge to the stand, much to the shock of everyone. After taking the oath to tell the truth, she sits on the witness stand and he asks her of her opinion on Dr. Hibbert. Relieved, she explains that she's proud of the fine work that Dr. Hibbert has done and has been there for the family since she became a mother. Mr. Burns' lawyer employs a dirty tactic in feigning shock about hearing "expert" testimony from Dr. Riviera, making Hutz extremely nervous when he catches people staring behind him in suspicion after hearing Marge's testimony crediting Dr. Hibbert as the Simpsons' real family physician. When asked about her opinion about Dr. Riviera, Marge is hesitant to talk and states the advice her mother gave her in not talking behind someone she doesn't have anything nice to say about them. Unconvinced, Mr. Burns' lawyer asks his question again and reminds her that she is under oath. Hutz is concerned because Marge's refusal to lie will destroy the lawsuit and cost them the $1 million. In her testimony, Marge tells the jury the truth by denouncing Dr. Riviera as a quack who isn't a qualified doctor and outlines how limited Bart's injuries actually were, given by Dr. Hibbert. She also denounces Lionel Hutz as a dishonest and greedy lawyer, revealing he made Bart lie about his injuries and being in intense anguish, when he was really fine. Marge admits to the hardships of the accident, a value worth $5 that they would have paid Bart every week to take the trash out, if he had been able to. She also adds the trouble he caused her with the three days he stayed at home recuperating from the fractured toe and bump on his head(despite understanding how much he hates school). A stunned Homer listens in disbelief and betrayal as his chances to win the $1 million slips away. As a result, Marge's honest testimony destroys Hutz's case and the family gets nothing, though Bart receives good treatment for his injuries. After the case, a overjoyed Mr. Burns offers Homer another check: $0. Realizing they lost the case, Hutz tells Homer they should take it and he reluctantly does.
That night at dinner, a downbeat and angry Homer mentally blames Marge for costing him the $1 million, while maintaining his composure in being polite when she asks him if he wants dinner. Bart breaks the silence by wishing to have won the money from Burns. He is silenced by Marge after she did the right thing to stop the case by telling the truth. Ignoring her, Bart mentions that there was a lot of things they could've done with the money, including buying a new house. Having enough of the conversation, Homer leaves and goes to Moe's, unsure if he could ever come home again and to drown his sorrows. Marge suspects what he's about to do from her women's intuition. At the bar, he listens as Moe tries to console him, telling him that rich people aren't happy anyway. Homer ignores him still believing that he would've been much happier with the money because he could've bought a lot of things with it for his family and that he is unsure if he should come home as he continues blaming Marge for her testimony. She arrives at Moe's and apologizes to him for her testimony, even though she did the right thing in telling the truth. However, Homer is unsure if he still loves Marge after all this and the denizens are shocked by it. He admits that he's still angry with her because she betrayed him with her testimony that lead to Mr. Burns winning the case. Marge encourages him to look her in the eye and follow his heart. When Homer does, he starts at her feet and her body which he's still convinced of his own anger. He finally looks his wife in the eyes, for a few moments he has a hard time maintaining the anger for he still loves Marge. Homer finally admits that he still loves her more than ever.
Behind the LaughterEdit
The episode's plot was based on Billy Wilder's 1966 film, The Fortune Cookie in which Walter Matthau plays a dishonest lawyer who convinces Jack Lemmon's character to fake an injury for a large cash settlement. While working on the court room scenes, director Mark Kirkland watched To Kill a Mockingbird and The Verdict to get ideas for different angles he could use. Although the episode was written by John Swartzwelder, a lot of the ending was pitched by executive producer James L. Brooks. Brooks felt that the episode needed a more emotional ending, so some shots were reworked so that voice-overs could be added.
The episode includes the debuts of three recurring characters, Lionel Hutz, Dr. Nick and the Blue-haired Lawyer. Lionel Hutz was designed by Mark Kirkland, who gave him an evil design, but was asked to make him more "bland looking." He gave him a powder blue suit to make him stand out more. Phil Hartman, who voices Hutz, also guest stars for the first time. He would later become one of the most frequently appearing guest stars, with Hutz and Troy McClure (who was introduced later in the second season) being his most well-known characters.
Dr. Nick Riviera is voiced by Hank Azaria, who used a "bad Ricky Ricardo" impression. The animators modeled Dr. Nick after then-supervising director Gabor Csupo, because they mistakenly believed that Azaria was impersonating him. The Blue-haired Lawyer, who does not have a proper name, was based on Roy Cohn, who became famous as Senator Josepth McCarthy's lawyer. His voice, provided by Dan Castellaneta, was also an impression of Cohn. The devil is also shown for the first time, and he was designed by Mark Kirkland, who originally tried to give him a scary design, but the writers asked him to use a more comedic look.
The show's script supervisor at the time Doris Grau also appears in the show for the first time. She was used because of her unique voice, and appears as a minor character in this episode, but would later become known for voicing Lunchlady Doris.

After spending my twenties partying, I decided to change my lifestyle going into my third decade. I started running a few miles here and there in an effort to get into a little better shape. My father had run a few ultras and introduced me to mountain and trail running and it didn't take long for me to get hooked. He challenged me to run a 50k in 2007 and I decided to go big by running a 50 miler instead. I suffered tremendously and finished near the cutoff but it lit a fire in me. I knew as soon as I crossed the finish line that I would someday finish a 100 mile race. I have since completed some of the toughest 100 mile races in the country and am in search of ever-greater challenges. In addition to racing, I enjoy traveling light, fast and far across all kinds of remote terrain. When I'm not running I'm busy spending time with my family, studying to be a physical therapist and trying new things to eat!

Fergie looks up to Stoke's Jolly Green Giants
The arrival of Stoke City to Old Trafford means a return to Manchester United for old boy Michael Owen. And Fergie could not resist a light-hearted dig at Tony Pulis' imposing outfit.
"The jolly green giants are coming to play against us tomorrow," joked the United boss.
"Michael is not allowed to play unless he brings a ladder. They are the biggest team in Europe.
"You can get yourself all in a fangle about that because they are a handful at set-piece play and with their long throw-ins.
"But you can't make a terror for yourself. Hopefully we can play our game and get the result we want."
Just found out Michael Owen has size 6.5 feet. He could wear my shoes.

Brett Ritchie, RW
Shoots: R
Height: 6-3
Weight: 209
Born: 1992-07-01
Hometown: Orangeville, Ont.
Drafted: 2011 by Dallas Stars, 44th Overall
September 2014 - Dallas has assigned Ritchie to the Texas Stars to open the 2014-15 season. After being limited for about a week during the preseason following the broken finger, Ritchie has himself positioned well to be at the head of the list for a call up should an injury befall one of Dallas' wingers. With Ales Hemsky now wearing Victory Green you know it's only a matter of when, not if, that opportunity arises. Rex Doty
September 2014 - Ritchie's chances of making the NHL roster to start the season suffered a setback over the weekend at the Traverse City Tourney. Ritchie was slashed on the hand and broke his pinkie finger. It was announced that Ritchie will miss roughly two weeks which will include training camp this weekend and the first week of pre-season. It doesn't mean he will automatically start the season back in the AHL, but now the task of breaking camp with the NHL Stars just became a lot tougher. Rex Doty
September 2014 - Ritchie had a great game for the Stars squad in the Traverse City Prospects Tournement on opening night. Ritchie helped lead a rally from down 3-1 in the third period as the Stars beat the Rangers 4-3. He picked up two goals, one in the third and the game-winner in OT, plus adding an assist. Ritchie may be a dark horse candidate to land in Big D to start the season, but with the wealth of talent top to bottom at forward the chances are pretty slim barring a lights out camp and pre-season. In all likelihood Ritchie will spend a good chunk of 2014-15 in the AHL, where he can build on last seasons strong regular season, and even better playoff run, with the 2013-14 Calder Cup Champion, Texas Stars. Rex Doty
November 2013 - Ritchie has skated in all 14 games for the Texas Stars (AHL) this season. After recording just one point in the first five contests, he now ranks tied for second on the team in assists (8) and fourth in total points (11). He's scored at least one point in seven out of his last nine games this season and currently rides a three game point streak dating back to Nov. 2. Clayton Bailey
April 2013 - After wrapping up a very productive season with the Ice Dogs where he had 76 points in 53 games and a stellar plus-35, Ritchie has joined the Texas Stars. In five regular season games he had four points. He also notched the game winning goal in overtime of the Stars first round Calder Cup playoff game against the Milwaukee Admirals. Rex Doty
March 2013 - Brett Ritchie of the Ice Dogs was named OHL Player of the Week (ending March 3, 2013) for the second time this season after posting five goals and eight points in three weekly games. Ritchie continues to show tremendous chemistry with Ryan Strome this season as the duo teamed up for 15 points in the three weekly games. Brendan Ross
February 2013 – He only lasted three days in Dallas' camp before they felt it was best he continued in Niagara of the OHL. Ritchie and Strome combine for the OHL's most dominating and lethal duo this season with 60 goals between them in 41 games. Jason Banks
December 2012 - Ritchie was named to the final squad that will represent Canada at the WJC. He is expected to play on the second line. Rich Dillon
December 2012 - Brett Ritchie was one of 21 forwards invited to take part in Canada's National Junior Selection camp for the 2013 World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia. Ritchie enters camp as one of the Canadian Hockey League's hottest snipers over the past few weeks. Brendan Ross
October 2012 - Stars forward prospect Brett Ritchie is off to a strong start in his fourth OHL campaign as he clips along at a point-per-game pace through his first 16 games. The big winger has formed good chemisty with Islanders' prospect Ryan Strome and is showin more signs of consistency as his game matures. He remains a wild card prospect for fantasy leagues but could be worth a flyer in deeper keeper leagues. Brendan Ross
October 2012 – Brett Ritchie was named to the 2012 Subway Super Series Team OHL Roster slated to compete in a six-game series versus the Russian National Junior Team in November. Brendan Ross
July 2012 – Signed his three year entry level contract. He will be returning to junior this season, where he needs to dominate games with his size, and be ready to turn pro next season. His pro transition will likely be smooth as he has the body of a man, but his offensive game will take a few seasons. Jason Banks
January 2012 – Blessed with great size, Brett Ritchie excels in the puck protection game when using his size along the boards. Unfortunately, Ritchie has suffered several injuries in his young career and has struggled to consistently use his size game in and game out. As a power forward, Brett Ritchie has time to develop into a solid top six player for the Dallas Stars and if he learns to engage himself physically on a more consistent basis then he has the tools (good speed, great shot and a mean streak) to become a valuable roto-player especially since he has shown a willingness to drop the mitts. Brendan Ross
Fantasy Outlook: B-
As a power forward, Brett Ritchie's arrival time is still a couple of years away but with good offensive skills and potential to contribute in penalty minutes he is worth a late round pick in deep keeper leagues.

"So many heroes from so many dimensions! This is pretty cool!"A crossover that involves characters from more than two works of ficton. More often than not, this is a mash up of series which do not have a strict sense of continuity or a clear Universe Bible. To lessen canon-faulting, especially with series that do have strict continuity, a new 'neutral' setting is made that offers equal footing for all the characters. It also becomes more viable the farther you get from canon, such as one-time TV specials and especially video games. As Story Arcs have become more prevalent, this practice has somewhat lessened, with shifts to strict Verse building and explicit references. This rarely occurs in live action shows, unless a production company can be formed that holds copyrights to everything. Thus, this is much more common in animated works — although you can generally expect The BBC to pull one out of somewhere when Children in Need or Comic Relief rolls around. This trope has become increasingly common in video games, especially those involving both licensed and original properties. These games, depending on how far or how deep they mine, can have interesting effects on the fiction chosen. Many long-gone and/or forgotten Humongous Mecha shows, for example, often get a new lease on life, or even a brand-new sequel or remake, after making an appearance or two in a Super Robot Wars game. Similarly, the Fire Emblem series was finally brought over to the US to great success after two of its characters made an appearance as unlockable fighters in Super Smash Bros. Melee. This trope is Older Than Feudalism. The Argonautica by Apollonius Rhodius (3rd century BCE) features nearly every ancient Greek mythical hero all going on a quest to find the Golden Fleece.

Warm-Blooded: How Is Water Used to Lower an Animal's Body Temperature?
How is water used to lower an animal's body temperature?
- Masking tape
- Marking pen
- 2 clear glasses
- Water
- 2 thermometers
- 1 bowl freezer
- Use the masking tape and marking pen to label the glasses #1 and #2.
- Fill both glasses one-half full with warm water from a faucet.
- Place a thermometer in each glass.
- Allow the glasses to stand undisturbed for one minute.
- Read and record the temperature shown on each thermometer.
- Set glass #1 in the bowl.
- Add cold water from the faucet so that there are about 2 inches (5 cm) of water in the bowl.
- As soon as the cold water is in the bowl containing glass #1, place glass #2 in the freezer and shut the door.
- At the end of one minute, read and record the temperature shown on each thermometer.
The temperature of the water in glass #1 decreased more quickly than did the temperature of the water in glass #2.
The body temperature of a cold-blooded animal changes with the temperature of its environment, but a warm-blooded animal maintains a constant body temperature regardless of the temperature outside its body. To regulate its temperature, a warm-blooded animal must increase heat loss from its body in hot weather and reduce heat loss during cold weather. One method of increasing heat loss is by bathing, wading, or standing in cold water. The water conducts heat from the animal's body more rapidly than does air. Your experiment demonstrated that heat energy in the water inside glass #1 moved out into the cooler water surrounding the glass. Heat energy in the water inside glass #2 also moved out into the air surrounding the glass but at a slower rate. This movement of heat energy from one substance to the next is called conduction. Water is a faster conductor of energy than air is.
Let's Explore
- Would moving water affect the rate of cooling? Repeat the experiment using a wooden spoon to stir the water in the bowl. Would animals be cooled faster in a running stream or still pond?
- Would placing icy water in the bowl have affected the rate of cooling? Repeat the experiment placing ice cubes in the bowl of water.
Show Time!
- Are there other methods of increasing heat loss from the body of animals? The hypothalamus (a part of the brain) activates nerve impulses that relax the walls of small arteries in the skin. This allows more blood to circulate to the surface of the body. Demonstrate that larger blood vessels allow more blood to pass through by using two coffee cans with plastic lids. In the lid of can #1, punch two small holes. In the lid of can #2, punch one small hole and a large hole. Half fill both cans with water and secure the lids. Measure the time it takes to fill a 5-ounce (150 ml) bathroom cup by pouring the water from can #1 through one of the small holes in the lid. Then measure the time it takes to fill another bathroom cup by pouring the water from can #2 through the large hole in the lid. The results along with diagrams and/or pictures taken during the experiment can be used as part of a project display.
- How do animals conserve body heat when the environment is cooler than their body temperature? Cats, dogs, and bears are examples of animals that reduce exposed surface area such as their noses by curling into a ball. Warm air from their nose moves under and around the body. Humans often warm the exposed skin on their hands by blowing on them. Breathe onto the bulb of a thermometer to measure the warmth of your exhaled breath.
- Birds tuck their legs under their feathers to cut down on heat loss during cold winter days. Sudden chills cause animals with hair to have "goosebumps" on their skin. These bumps raise the individual hairs, capturing air that better insulates the skin. Discover other methods of how warm-blooded animals regulate their body temperature to keep it constant. Use diagrams or photographs to display this information.
Check It Out?!
The hypothalamus is the temperature regulator in warm-blooded animals. It has sensory cells that detect changes in blood temperature. Find out more about the functions of this special section of the brain.

Daniel L. Jones
Thank you, [Tuwana] and good morning, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Encore Wire Corporation quarterly conference call. As stated, I'm Daniel Jones, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Encore Wire and with me this morning is Frank Bilban, our Chief Financial Officer. The results in the first quarter of 2012 were effective by somewhat weal processing in our market, compared to the first and the fourth quarters of 2011. Building on our prices and margins were impacted negatively by the volatility of copper prices during the quarter. Copper traded erratically which made it difficult for us to maintain any top of industry announced price increases. For example, Comex prices ranged from a low of $3.41 a pound to a high of $3.97 a pound and kept balancing between those two points throughout the quarter with large swings occurring within the span of several days. This disrupted our customers buying patterns and enticed our competitors to cut or hold prices, lowering margins. The performance of our stock and the prolonged industry recession has been exceptional.

The Return of the Murder Ballad
This week, The Chieftains team up with Bon Iver for a gruesome tale of homicide. Plus: ten more must-hear murder songs for the ages. In a good way. Listen to this week's playlist on Esquire Spotify and come back every Music Monday.

Okkervil River, "Westfall"
Because "when I killed her it was so easy that I wanted to kill her again" isn't the scariest line. That would be this: "Evil don't look like anything."

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening!!! I hope everyone is doing well these days. I'm doing pretty good considering all that I've been through for the past 2 weeks. To catch all up to speed, about 2 weeks ago I went with a friend in rented mini van and then that following Friday I broke out in a horrible rash and the first thing that came to my mind was I got something like bedbugs from that van since it was from Texas and anyone between there and Oklahoma, where I live, could've rented it. I went to one dr to see about and she wasn't sure what it was, so she prescribed some meds for iching and that helped and worked, and then Tuesday of this week I went to another dr, one I've been going to off and on for 20 yrs and he said it was defecientcy in vitamin B12!! How simple!!! So I've been taking B12 drops since Tuesday and I'm doing so much better, and I do have to say that way I deinfected my house I'll never have them nor fleas!!!
This weekend I'm just chilling out and Sunday evening I'm going to a baby shower of a close friend. Today I'm finishing up in my room. I'm putting all my bedding back on since I washed it, and then I'm just gonna sit back and relax to some of my favorite tunes such as Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra and Christina Aguilera, and catch up on my favorite magazines such as InStyle and Harper's Bazaar. Love the fall issues!!!
So with that in mind, LOL!!! how is everyone doing these days?
What plans do you have for the weekend?

Question: My coworkers seem to think CBS' The Class is connected to Friends. One says it is a spin-off, and another said she saw the opening credits on the Internet and the cast is dancing in a fountain, just like the opening of Friends. What can I tell them?
Answer: The only connection between The Class and Friends (beyond the fact that I like both of them) is that the new CBS comedy is cocreated by David Crane, who performed a similar function on Friends. These characters are not related to the Friends characters at all, except that a few of these former classmates show signs of being as endearingly quirky and lovable as Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, Rachel, Joey and Monica. Not even CBS would go so far as to call this the next Friends, which I'm not sure is even possible. But it's one of my favorite new comedies for the fall season (though a number of people in my office were left cold by it) ...

Question: I'm a little worried about all of the new characters that will be introduced in the upcoming season of Lost. It seems to me that most successful shows tend to revolve around a consistent group of characters: M*A*S*H, Friends, etc. I know ER has some success with a rotating cast, but Lost seems to lend itself to singling out each character and telling that person's story. But it feels like they're slowly giving up on some of the original characters and introducing new ones for the sake of more flashbacks. What is your take?
Answer: My take is that it's way too early to judge, and that I lean toward giving Lost a chance to prove itself before we jump to conclusions. What's safe to say is that Lost will get hammered no matter what it does. Too many stories about the original characters, and there will be griping that the show isn't moving forward fast enough. Too many new tangents with new characters and story lines, and there will be griping that the show has changed too much.

Matthew Perry, The Ron Clark Story
TNT's The Ron Clark Story (Sunday at 8 pm/ET), starring Matthew Perry, follows the real-life story of an energetic, creative and idealistic young teacher who leaves his small North Carolina hometown to teach in a New York City public school. (All kinds of crazy, right?) Bringing with him some inspirational classroom rules (e.g., "Be the best person you can be"), a few innovative teaching techniques and an undying devotion, Clark is able to make a remarkable difference in the lives of his students. And in doing so, Perry, many will find, is able to warm your heart and maybe even bring a tear to your eye in the final act.
Surveying Clark's impact on his charges, Perry says, "These are all kids who could have easily given up and gone on the wrong side of the tracks and lived a much harder life, so the messa

Natalie Fotopoulos and Ivan Koumaev, So You Think You Can Dance
The latest castoffs from Fox's So You Think You Can Dance (tonight at 9 pm, the winner is announced Aug. 16 at 8 pm/ET) acted positively cheery when they were sent home last week: Natalie Fotopoulos let out a big fat Greek "Oopah!" while Ivan Koumaev playfully pinched Benji Schwimmer on the butt. The day after their dismissal, TVGuide.com caught up with the "Nativan" (as the 22-year-old jazz dancer and 18-year-old hip-hopper have taken to calling themselves) to find out how making it to the final six has affected them personally and professionally, and where we might se

Question: Everyone keeps saying Scrubs is a mistreated show. Doesn't NBC deserve a little credit for keeping it on the air for a sixth year? Scrubs couldn't hold much of the audience when it got a shot after Friends, but NBC has stuck with it anyway and has given the writers a good amount of freedom. I love the show and am thrilled to see it live on, but I'm a little sick of TV critics saying how mistreated it is when it's gotten well over 100 episodes, and when other networks would have given up on it by now. Poor little Scrubs. If that is being mistreated, what do you call the treatment given to shows canceled after one season, or worse, a handful of episodes? How about giving some credit where it is due?
Answer: All valid points, but still, for NBC to bench Scrubs for half a season two years in a row seems like killing it with kindness. Especially at a time when the show has finally crossed the Emmy threshold with nominations for best comedy series, and this fall it would pair up so

Lisa Kudrow, The Comeback
For those of you who Valerie Cherish'd HBO's The Comeback, here something to make you say, "I wanna see that!" The single-season look at a onetime sitcom queen's bid for a return to fame arrives on DVD this week, complete with extras, including an update on the horrific role Val has since been offered and a look at her Dancing with the Stars stint. TVGuide.com spoke with cocreator Lisa Kudrow, Emmy-nominated for playing the hapless actress, about her ongoing Comeback, Valerie's A-list "Angel" of a fan, and Madonna stealing her hair.

Question: Can you tell me why there are so many talent-based shows this summer? Especially on Wednesdays. I looked in the listings sections, and there are at least four talent shows at 8 pm/ET on Wednesday. Don't people know that if they shove the same thing down our throats, we'll eventually get tired of it? I say we cut it back to only one show on Wednesdays at 8: So You Think You Can Dance. What's your take on this phenomenon?
Answer: It is ridiculous, isn't it? But cloning comes naturally to the networks. Look at the glut of procedural dramas. Think back to all of the Friends knockoffs. If something works, all of the networks want to get in the game, innovation and creativity be damned. And nothing works on a grander scale than American Idol, so why be surprised when a tidal wave of amateur-hour talent contests invades the lineup, especially in the summer? It's almost comical when you see Dance go up against America's Got Talent, Rock Star: Supernova and now The One, all on the same

Question: I have a comment on a topic that I've never seen you address, and I could be the only one who feels this way. With so many new shows in the fall, it's really hard sometimes to keep them all straight, and the names of the shows often make this more difficult. They're not very distinctive! Last season, there were three sci-fi shows premiering, and they all had one-word names: Invasion, Threshold and Surface. I could never keep straight which one was on which network, and even though I had read your reviews and knew that you endorsed one especially, I could never remember which one. For this coming fall I've counted eight new series with one-word titles, and none of them are very distinguishable (Vanished, Standoff, Justice, Smith, Jericho, Shark, Traveler, Kidnapped). Just a note to the networks: If I need a visual aid to remember which shows I want to check out, I'm not likely to watch — unless they become hits and the name is repeated enough to remind me. Not a very good ...

Patrick Dempsey of Grey's Anatomy, Matt LeBlanc of Joey
Put a fork in the 2005-06 TV season. For the fourth straight year, CBS was crowned the most watched network, with an average of 12.6 million viewers per week. Fox was able to crow as well — for the second year in a row it was No. 1 among viewers ages 18 to 49, the group most coveted by advertisers. ABC didn't come up with a new hit, but its audience grew as Grey's Anatomy, Lost and Desperate Housewives remained hot, and Dancing with the Stars

Howie Mandel, Deal or No Deal
The networks and ad buyers on Madison Avenue are deep in negotiations over the price of commercial time for next fall's prime-time schedule, and at least a third of their $9 billion take (that is, the networks hope it'll be that much) will be spent on Thursday night. That explains why so many good shows this fall will be airing on the same night. It's looking like one of the great network-scheduling steel-cage matches in history: Grey's Anatomy vs. CSI vs. Deal or No Deal all battling it out at 9 pm/ET.
ABC could have gotten higher ratings if it left
