Amanda Pearl has chosen family operated artisanal factories in Italy that produce the finest handbags for some of the world's most well known luxury purveyors. Each handbag is meticulously assembled by hand, by artisans whose trade has been passed down from one generation to the next. Many of the details and much of the work that goes into the production are not visible to the eye in the finished product. The cylindrical frame of the Roll Clutch, for example, which was developed from scratch from Amanda Pearl's sketches, is made of gold plated brass from one factory specializing solely in metalwork for accessories. Once the plated and polished frame is sent to the finishing factory, an artisan dedicated to Amanda Pearl covers and finishes the bag with the chosen silks, brocades and gemstones. The process is so painstaking, output averages only two Roll Clutches per day. This level of attention to detail is applied to every style in the Amanda Pearl Collection.
Our US produced styles are held to no less of a standard. Craftsmen specializing in soft handbags were chosen for each of these styles based on their strength of skill. Some are focused on working with delicate silks, others have a hand for heavier fabrics and larger handbags. Just as much as our Italian partners, each American manufacturer we select shares in the belief that luxury is in the details and perfection is key.
In a world full of a mass production, Amanda Pearl targets the discriminating customer who still embraces the art and luxury of detailed hand-made goods--work that will survive the test of time and fleeting fashions.
Our newest collection, Amanda Pearl CURATED VINTAGE, is filled with previously owned treasures. Because the pieces are not new, they might exhibit signs of imperfection, uniqueness, wear and tear, and/or age. Each piece is rated as excellent, good, or fair. Here is what we mean by each description:
Excellent: A sparkling example of well-preserved vintage jewelry! These pieces are in great condition without many scratches or wear.
Good: A little use, like minor wear on the plating or slight clouding of some stones, contributes to the vintage feel of these pieces.
Fair: These pieces have seen some adventures! While we guarantee everything's in perfect working order, there is some visible wear and tear.

I met a nice man in a grief support group, and we've been dating for the past few weeks. I am the first woman he's dated since his wife died a few years ago. I'm sort of betwixt and between here. On one hand, I think he wants to move forward, but on the other hand I think he just wants to stay in the past, honoring the memory of his wife. He still wears his wedding ring, which is getting to be a little weird for me. He talks about her a lot and I've tried to be supportive, but sometimes it's all I can do not to blurt out "do you want to make a go of a relationship with me or do you want to stay in the past forever?" He is young, too; they were together about 18 years. He's bitter and angry that she was taken from him at such a young age. I understand that, but it makes me feel very awkward when he says that and ponders out loud "Everything was going so great...we were having fun..."
I really like this man and don't want to necessarily throw in the towel prematurely, but I'm at a loss here. For those of you who have lost a spouse and then re-entered the dating world at some point: could you give me some advice on how best to handle this? Am I being too sensitive about him still wearing his ring? Any advice would be appreciated! |

I've not been in your situation, but it sounds like he is not ready for a relationship. Your patience is running a little thin, and I don't blame you. Just my 2 cents. |

Hello, well leonard has been gone for almost 11 months and I cant even imagine dating someone else. I have also not taken off my ring and I even get angry when people talk to me like hes not here anymore. But I am very sentimental and I feel like I am only 30 and was only 29 and will be a single girl until I meet him in heaven , But on the other hand I know of two ladies who are very close to me who have both tried to move on after they lost their husbands and they are different situations. My friend judy waited about 3 years and was reluctant to date again but larry kept on pushing and finally she gave in. he was a friend of her husbands and has taken very good care of her. My sister in law is another story she started talking to guys shortly after her husband passed but in her situation she did it for the wrong reasons. She did it because she was lonley and didnt like to be alone. And 3 years later you still see her put her rings back on and has never taken pictures down , she talkes about him alot to this day also, so I guess what im trying to say is he is always going to love her and she is always going to be part of his life and trying to make him forget about her or rush him to is not going to work if he still talkes about her that much and has not taken off his ring then he is not ready to move on. Im sorry if this is not good news for you but you can remain friends and maybe in the future when he is ready you will be there for him. I hope this helps you. Tracy |

I haven't been in your situation either, but I will tell you what I think about this if you don't mind. The fact that he still talks about his wife and still wears his ring show that he was a very devoted husband who loved his wife very much. It demonstates the love that he is capable of having for someone else when the time is right. I personally, believe that being friends with someone before an intimate relationship is ideal. Maybe if you just keep trying to be patient, listen to him, and be his friend, he will grow to love you as he did his wife. As Tracy said, his wife was part of his life and always will be, but that doesn't mean that he won't in time, love again. When my daughter, Christin, was killed her boyfriend told his mom that he would not date anyone who would not be willing to listen to him talk about her. He loved her and said that he always would and that she was part of his life. He is now happily married with a new baby girl and although he loves his wife, he still has Christin in his heart as part of his past. Good luck to us and keep us posted. I wish you the best!! LU |

I have been dating a wonderful woman who lost her husband nearly three years ago. They were married for 35 years. I have encouraged her to talk about her love for him and to share wonderful stories, from their marriage, with me. She loved him very much and I cannot expect her to suddenly shift her feelings to me after just a couple of months. I have been a grief counselor in the past, working with Hospice Care. Grief is a process that can be resolved relatively quickly for some and very gradually for others. Please don't minimize your friend's pain. If you are patient and understanding then perhaps over time he will realize just what a great "find" you are and may find closure, from the wife that he loved, and a new beginning with you. |

Another Bret Yanking Our Chain
"This is the seventh year in a row that we'll be bowl eligible. That puts us as (the) No. 2 longest (streak) in the Big Ten. Ohio State has the longest at eight. It says a lot about your program and being able to sustain things for a long time. We definitely had expectations coming into this year to have more victories than we do at this point in the season. But bottom line is we've scraped and put ourselves in a position to be bowl eligible, and what we do this Saturday has a lot to do with what we could do in the future."

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is LUCY III!
Facts about LUCY III
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier
- Color: White - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
LUCY III's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and not good with cats.
My name is LUCY III, and I am the sweetest 10 year old spayed female Jack Russell Terrier in the world. I have a lovely tan and white smooth coat. I have lived with my owner all my life and it is with great sadness that I need to find a new home without kids. My owner now has a husband and there is a new baby in my house, but I don't like the new baby very much. I would be very happy in a home with an older owner or couple who would like to have me cuddle and sit with you on the couch while you read or watch TV. But I also like to go for walks and play in the back yard. I am in excellent health, so don't let the fact that I just celebrated my 10th birthday keep you from meeting me. Jacks can live to be 18-20 years old, so I have a long life ahead of me to be your companion and friend. I am completely housetrained and crate trained. I am microchipped and heartworm tested negative. All my shots are current. My teeth are beautiful and sparkly clean because I have just had a dental cleaning. I am very loving and affectionate and cuddly. I like to sleep in your bed if that's OK with you and I love to swim, catch a ball and jump back in the pool for a swim. I don't do well with cats but I do get along with larger male dogs. No other female dogs in the household, please, as I don't get along well with other female dogs, a typical trait in the Jack Russell Terrier breed. I am completely doggie door trained and am able to stay at home by myself if you have to go shopping. I really need a new home where I won't be in the way and will be loved because I am starving for affection. And I don't understand what has happened to me since I was so happy in my home until the baby came along, and now things have changed so much for me that I don't feel welcome at my home anymore. My adoption fee is $200. Won't you please call Sue at 480-391-9837 or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com for an Application for Adoption? I'm waiting for you!
Other Pets at Jack Russell Rescue of Scottsdale
Why Adoption is a Great Option
LUCY III, a Scottsdale Jack Russell Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier for sale in Scottsdale, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier dog from a breeder in Scottsdale.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Scottsdale already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Scottsdale breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Scottsdale paves the way for another one to be saved.

The size was great room to grow, kept him nice and warm,quality very well done. Would definitely order more from you.
Got this for my son's birthday. He loves it! It's sleek and perfect for his maneuvers. He can't wait to get on some real powder!
This is a great board for all conditions. But is not just a standard board, it makes all riding effortless and fun. It's even good in deep powder. I haven't done too many airs with it yet, but it also seems pretty light. Traversing at Kirkwood is a lot easier, my other board was pretty old so I was due and I'm glad I got this one.
Soooo ill!! Fit great and was great to ride in.
These are really nice boots. I like the lacing system and they're wide enough for my EE feet after getting them heat molded. I give them a B-
This is the second pair of Ride EX bindings I have had. The first pair lasted me about 7 years, hoping that these will do the same. The metal frame and base plate is ideal for long-life performance. The 2010's I just got from PeterGlenn.com are way better than expected. Fully adjustable without tools, the new toe-cap design is awesome, and the whole under-foot base plate cover is all padded, so my foot stays cush all day. I couldn't be happier!
I bought these boots size 6.5 & tried them out this weekend. I was disappointed in how wide the space in the toe area was. The BOA got loose so I have to stop my run & tighten them up a lot. Over all, I like the boots but not sure if I would recommend them to someone else. I would also look for a double BOA boot that's not too wide in the toe space.
A reasonably stiff boot with a Boa lace and Intuition liner. The liner is comfy and warm, but does benefit from the addition of a custom footbed. These fit true to size. The lacing is simple and quick. The inner liner has a handy snap for the inner lacing lock device. The cable tends to tighten at a higher tension near the Boa ratchet, therefore, your ankle and leg will be the tightest portion of the boot. Compared to a ski boot it's similar to a 90 so it's pretty comfy over a full day of riding. Don't rest your snowboard on your boot during the chairlift ride as the edge will weaken the Boa cable strands and they will fray - replacements are free from Boa, but it's easy to avoid the hassle of ordering and re-threading by treating your boot carefully.
I use these with K2 ctc cinch and Flow NXT bindings - no issues.
I like: the colour, the fit (true to size), the lacing system. But most of all the fact that I could put the boots on with minimal foot squishing, prodding, shoving and poking. I could easily tighten them and walk.
The bindings are great. Really stiff if you like that (which I do). Lots more control than my old ones and a long lasting feel since many parts are metal.

But when we continued to sin against them, you were angry. How then can we be saved? |

I also just printed my email invoice instead of the invoice from the website, which seemed to work just fine. And ya, I purposely didn't put tape over the UPC since people said they have had a problem with that before.
Did anyone else get their claim denied? This is BS i sent everything and they are pretty much telling me I am missing everything. I included the invoice, acitvation code, bar code from the hard drive, i registered the Total defense and had it installed.. this sucks.. whats even worse it took them over a month and a half to tell me it was declined, if they told me asap I would have had time to resend everything.. has anyone been in this situation before, what can be done..
this is the message i got from them when i track my rebate. - Signed Rebate Form is missing- Original UPC Barcode Label (#817839011691) (Not the shipping label barcode) is missing- Copy of Receipt/Invoice is missing- Activation Code or Copy of Welcome Email (Activation code can be found on the back of your user guide) is missing- Product must be activated prior to rebate redemption is missing- Proof of purchase of qualifying bundle purchase is missing- No proof of purchase- Barcode label is missing- Reseller is not eligible for this offer- No proof of purchase date in documentation |

Room & Board might be a Minnesota-based company, but the designers had their eyes on Wisconsin for one particular item. The company recently launched what they're calling "reclaimed wood shapes" using white pine salvaged from the framing and roof trusses of the Pabst Blue Ribbon factory.
These solid wood shapes can be used as an end table, nightstand or a stool, the company says. That's all well and good, but we think it'll make a great place to set down that PBR tallboy we know you have in your fridge. And save on beer you'll have to. The "shapes" retail for $299 for the 18-inch version and $329 for the 22-inch version.

America Longs For A King
It was way back in Once-Upon-a-Time Time and the people of Israel grew tired of the anarchy that reigned when they were loosely ruled by individuals known as Judges. They desired order and material benefit, even if it came at the expense of their personal liberties. Thus, the people of Israel asked their current Judge and High Priest Samuel for a king in the following manner.
4 So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. 5 They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not follow your ways; now appoint a king to lead[b] us, such as all the other nations have."
Samuel responded to such concentrated and direct disrespect in a predictable manner. What follows is one of the more amusing epic rants in the entire Old Testament.

After getting back on his feet as a construction worker, Kindman returned to the world of alternative newspapers, this time doing low paid small-circulation hard news for a leftist neighborhood journal called the Grapevine. He threw himself into covering a local election, endorsing progressive candidates and weighing in on a land dispute involving a commune of anti-war protesters, all while levying charges of bias in favor of local businesses at the area's establishment paper before burning out. Then, after deciding to part ways with his longtime girlfriend and throw himself into a gay lifestyle, he began writing for the Radical Faeries' newsletter.
The book ends, heartbreakingly, with Kindman's declaration that while his HIV has blossomed into full-blown AIDS at the height of the crisis and before the advent of retrovirals, he refuses to believe the end is near.
"I continue to feel like a survivor and an optimist, and identify strongly with the viewpoint that AIDS need not be universally fatal," he announces on the last page of his memoir. "Having made it through so many setbacks and disappointments, I feel committed to making it through the epidemic as well."
Kindman died in 1991.
While Kindman learned the hard way during the course of his life, primarily through Lyman, to look at others with a jaundiced eye, the most enervating aspect of his memoir is that he never turns that eye on himself and his own actions. While he finally sees the Fort Hill "family" for the hypocritical clique it is, he brushes off his own admissions that, while he says he admires feminism, he was physically abusive toward at least two of his girlfriends, one on Fort Hill and one long after he had left and could no longer blame the group's hypermasculine aura. In a letter to Lyman some years after his banishment from the cult, he accuses his former hero of being "as addicted to being followed as we were to following," but never wonders why he followed so eagerly, or kept being drawn back to Lyman years later. And even after decades spent writing and editing for leftist publications, he never looks back and asks what the alternative press is trying to accomplish, or whether its supposed independence from the establishment makes it any more valuable in the quest for truth and change.
Kindman's decades of experience in countercultures and subcultures could contain a treasure trove of lessons for future generations inside and out of the alternative press. Just don't count on Kindman himself to teach them.

The CBOE DJIA Volatility Index (VXD) is based on real-time prices of options on the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM (DJIA, with an options ticker of DJX), and is designed to reflect investors' consensus view of future (30-day) expected stock market volatility. Consultant's Study on the CBOE DJIA Volatility Index (VXD) In 2007 the Fund Evaluation Group (FEG) issued a new study entitled "Evaluation of BuyWrite and Volatility Indexes - Using the CBOE DJIA BuyWrite Index (BXD) and the CBOE DJIA Volatility Index (VXD) for Asset Allocation and Diversification Purposes." The paper studied the 109-month period from October 1997 to November 2006. The FEG study presented several findings on the 9-year performance of the VXD Index, including: Volatility Index Can Reduce Portfolio Volatility. Including a small (10%) allocation to the CBOE DJIA Volatility Index (VXD) could have reduced the volatility of an all-stock portfolio by about 26%, without materially affecting returns. Low Correlation and Diversification. The VXD and the DJIA were inversely correlated (-0.62) over the course of this study. The study showed that VXD increased more during market declines (VXD reacted more to stock market declines than to stock market advances), indicating that VXD has potential as a diversification tool. Impact on Risk-Adjusted Returns. The inclusion of a small (5%) allocation to the VXD Index boosted risk-adjusted returns for a stock-oriented portfolio, and lowered the risk-adjusted returns for a fixed-income-oriented portfolio.

The Best and Worst of the Milwaukee Brewers first half
July 13th, 2011We've reached the halfway point of the season (not really, but MLB likes to pretend that the All-Star Game is the midway point of the season so we're going to go with it) and the good news is the Milwaukee Brewers are currently tied for first place. The bad news is everything else. After years of hoping for success the Brewers are finally experiencing some and we've found there are a lot more problems at the top. It's just like the plot of every movie ever.
It's been a very strange first half of the season. There are so many things to be happy about (Prince, Braun, Weeks) and so many things to make you angry (Greinke, Yuni, McGehee, Greinke again, Yuni again, Greinke) that you end up looking at the day's boxscore and the result tells you how you feel about them. Outside of being busy (and lazy) (and drunk), the unpredictable nature of this season has limited my writing the most. I didn't know what to write.
There has been ups and downs, but the Brewers are in a good spot. They're in first place. (Hey, have I mentioned they're in first place!?) Let's take a look at how things stands at the end of the first half. You know, cover all the bases (see what I did there?) and just for fun we're going to do it "Best and Worst" style (without permission) like Brandon Stroud does at With Leather every Tuesday for WWE Raw.
Best: First place!
Remember that time the Brewers swept the Cardinals and we were all excited because they were in first place and ten games over .500 for the first time since 2009? That was pretty cool. It feels good that a month later we are still basically in the same spot, standings wise at least.
Worst: I thought we fixed the pitching.
Since that wonderful day the Brewers are 11-15 and the reason is they played the the Red Sox, Yankees and Rays in that stretch, basically. 2-7 against the American League Bam Bam Bigelows is one thing, the way the pitching performed over that stretch is another. In those 26 games Brewers pitchers allowed 5 or more in 17 of them and the other team averaged almost 6 runs per game. Not exactly a recipe for a championship.
ERA+ isn't perfect as a midseason statistic, but just for fun let's check out how the pitchers currently on the 25-man roster are doing.
(Remember with ERA+ 100 is average and anything greater is better, anything less is worse.)
Shaun Marcum 117
Randy Wolf 108
Yovani Gallardo 105
Chris Narveson 83
Zack Greinke 73Bullpen
LaTroy Hawkins 370 (As we said, imperfect.)
John Axford 140
Takashi Saito 118
Kameron Loe 88
Marco Estrada 84
Zack Braddock 78
Suddenly it becomes clear why the Brewers just traded for K-Rod. They barely let Hawkins and Saito pitch two days in a row, much less two innings. Combined with Axford being a ninth inning exclusive (© RRR) and our best three relievers are one-inning and out. Kameron Loe has picked up almost all of the slack and has done his best, but it's clear he needs some help. Zack Braddock should be able to bring some if he learns how to set a f-ck:n alarm clock and K-Rod should handle the rest. Not worried about this in the second half.
As for the starters it's hard to know how to read these.
- Marcum has been almost exactly as advertised, that's good.
- Wolf is having a strong season, that's good.
- Narveson is right where you'd expect him (or most 5th starters) to be, that's good.
- Yovanni Gallardo is right about where he was last year, that's good. Although with Yo it always feel like he should be better. He's probably going to turn that corner any day now and become an ace. Or maybe he'll stay right where he's at and become the Mexican Randy Wolf.Hey, what gives this rotation isn't that bad? I'm really having trouble finding any fault in this thing...
What? Oh. Right.
2 comments on "The Best and Worst of the Milwaukee Brewers first half"
Brewers fans this year have the added "never say die" bonus of limited or no football this season! Enjoy major-league professional sports while it lasts in Wisconsin, because after the baseball season there won't be another professional game played in Wisconsin until baseball season.
(Yes, I excluded basketball on purpose)
Off topic yet honorable mention to the worst of the first half – FSN broadcasting:
Jerry Garcia 'tailgate tips' commercials: Duder – you're a class a douche; everyone I know makes fun of you. No one is going to make any of that shit while tailgating. You come off as a narcissistic tard, seriously…haul ass.
Telly Hughes: How in the world you got a job in broadcasting is beyond any conceivable notion. You are HORRIBLE at your job, HORRIBLE. There is only one explanation for how you're keeping your job – and that's because obviously, you're the quota. Consider a new career.

- 1 cup coarsely crumbled amoretti
- 2 1/2 Tbsp. whole wheat flour
- 2 Tbsp. sugar
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 1 large egg
- 8 firm, ripe small peaches, halved lengthwise and pitted
- 8 oz. mascarpone cheese
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 2 Tbsp. butter and pour into a 13 x 19 inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Pulse 3/4 cup crumbled amoretti in a food processor until finely chopped, then add flour, sugar, salt, and remaining 2 Tbsp. butter. Blend until butter is incorporated, then add egg and blend until smooth.
Scoop out just enough peach pulp from center of each peach half with a melon ball cutter or small spoon to create a 1" deep cavity. Arrange peaches, cut sides up, in baking dish, then brush skins with melted butter from dish. Divide amaretti mixture among cavities, then sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup crumbled amoretti over filling. Bake until filling is puffed and crisp, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temp.
Wisk mascarpone with a few tablespoons of milk until it reaches a consistency suitable to dollop on peaches. Spoon on 1 Tbsp. per peach.

text: INDIANAPOLIS (WGR 550) -- The future of Jairus Byrd in regards to the Buffalo Bills could very well hang in the balance over some food and drinks on Saturday in Indianapolis. Speaking at the NFL Combine to local reporters, general manager Doug Whaley revealed that the team has yet to speak with Byrd's representatives, but intend to do so in the coming days. "We will have discussions this week with his camp," Whaley said. "But there has been conversations with his camp before we got here." The Bills announced shortly after that the meeting would be happening on Saturday, and would also serve as a chance to discuss the future of fellow impending unrestricted free agent Alex Carrington. He is also represented by the same agent, Eugene Parker. If the talks do not go well between the Bills and Parker about Byrd, then Buffalo's likeliest course of action would be to franchise tag the safety for the second consecutive year. This time around, however, it would be in an effort to not let Byrd walk out the door of One Bills Drive without any compensation for a player that is considered to be one of the best at his position. "In that situation, you're going to use every option open. We don't want to put ourselves in a corner, and I don't want to say to you guys, 'We're going to do this,' and then something changes and we don't something different," Whaley said regarding the franchise tag. "We as an organization, again, we're going to leave every option open for Jairus because we would like him back." If Byrd leaves the Bills it wouldn't be due to a lack of effort from Buffalo's end. They have repeatedly said they would put an offer on the table to Byrd in an effort to sign him to a long-term contract. Head coach Doug Marrone fawned over Byrd and how he was as a teammate despite the rather acrimonious start to the 2013 season between the front office and the player. "After the season was over, my evaluation, I told [Jairus] what I was gonna go to management with," the head coach said. "I told Jairus, I have nothing but great things to say. I have nothing but great things to recommend. And then now, that goes to Doug Whaley and then it goes to management and then they try to come up with something and try to see what's best for both parties. But, I love him. I really do. He did an outstanding job for us." If things go poorly, the Bills would have the option to tag Byrd, keep him for another season and pay him a guaranteed salary of $8.299 million. However, that would merely further alienate him and the Bills would ultimately lose him after the 2014 season for nothing. Non-quarterbacks cannot be tagged three years in a row, according to the National Football League Collective Bargaining Agreement. Likely not to be the only team to show interest in Byrd, the Cleveland Browns and head coach Mike Pettine have very "real" interest in acquiring the safety, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapaport. Pettine served as the Bills defensive coordinator in the 2013 season, and has shown a track record of bringing a safety along with him to help teach his defense to a new team. As a member of the Jets, Pettine and head coach Rex Ryan brought safety Jim Leonhard over to New York from Baltimore after the safety started several games on their defense for the Ravens. When he arrived to Buffalo, Pettine once again reached out to Leonhard and the Bills signed him to a one-year deal. The proceedings will be on hold until Saturday at the earliest, because the Bills will have to gauge what Byrd and Parker perceives the safety's value to be. "We're gonna try to go after all our free agents that we have out there," Whaley said when asked aboout how they'll fill their voluminous cap space. "That all depends on what they perceive their value is compared to us and we have a priority list, and we'll go down that priority list." The latter portion of that quote proves, among other things, that Saturday's meeting with Parker is paramount to what will inevitably happen between the two sides. The Bills have until March 3 to assign the franchise tag. Twitter: @JoeBuscaglia

Have a question for Customer Service? Follow us and send us a Tweet!
If you don't find an answer to your specific question, call us toll-free at 1-800-THERMATRU.
What are the advantages of fiberglass over wood and steel? Unlike wood doors, fiberglass won't dent, crack, split or splinter. Unlike steel doors, fiberglass won't dent, rust or warp, either. Fiberglass also resists shrinking and swelling with temperature changes, allowing the finish to last three times longer than on a wood door. The solid polyurethane foam core offers five times greater insulation value than wood doors.
Why should I select a Therma-Tru door? Thermal-Tru is the market leader and innovator in fiberglass door technology. Our fiberglass doors are more durable and energy-efficient than wood or steel doors, and are backed by the best full-system warranties in the industry.
What types of fiberglass door does Therma-Tru offer? There are three lines of fiberglass doors to fit any budget: Classic-Craft, Fiber-Classic and Smooth-Star.
How can I get pricing for Therma-Tru doors? See your local Therma-Tru dealer for current pricing. Find your local dealers by using our Location Finder.
How can I get a list of local Therma-Tru dealers for my area? Use the Location Finder or call 1-800-843-7628.
How can I get a free Therma-Tru catalog? Complete the online request literature form or call 1-800-843-7628.
Where can I get replacement parts for my Therma-Tru door system? Replacement parts are available through your local Therma-Tru dealer. They cannot be ordered directly from Therma-Tru.
What are the rough opening dimensions for the Therma-Tru door systems? These dimensions can be found by clicking here: Book Size or U1 Revised
How do I install a Therma-Tru door system? Installation instructions and an installation video can be found by clicking here.
How do I install a peep hole or door knocker in a Therma-Tru door? Please refer to the peep hole and door knocker manufacturers' installation instructions on a flat part of the Therma-Tru door.
Are there trouble-shooting techniques for the Therma-Tru door systems? Yes. Trouble shooting advice can be found here.
How do I clean the glass in the screen vented door? In order to clean the glass the screen must be removed. The removal of the screen on Therma-Tru vented door is as follows: (1) Pull window up to its highest position (2) Stand on the outside of the door unit (3) At the two corner edges of the screen pinch the screen (4) Shifted the screen to the left or the right (5) At the opposite corner of the screen pull the screen towards you with your fingernail, a flat head screw driver, or a putty knife. The screen should pull out towards you.
What are the hinge finishes for Therma-Tru hinges? Brushed Nickel US15, Black Nickel US17A, Stainless Steel 304 Stainless, Zinc Dichromate US4, Bright Brass US3.
In what heights is Classic-Craft available? 6/8: 79.25 inches (2013 mm) 8/0: 95.25 inches (2419 mm)
Can fiberglass doors be exposed to chlorine fumes without any harm (pool area)? In general, we would not expect any problems, assuming that there is topcoat or paint on the door. The hydrochloric acid (muriatic) or some of the other chlorinated acids do attack the surface of the door skin irreversibly if concentrated enough (example brick wash-strength muriatic). The result is a surface that doesn't stain evenly with the surrounding surface. However, once painted/topcoated, this shouldn't be an issue.
Do locksets tarnish on doors and do they have to be caulked to prevent that? Brass locksets set up an electrochemical reaction with the zinc of electrogalvanized STEEL doors. It is a small battery. That will tarnish the locksets. Lock companies try to avoid this with plastic rings behind the escutcheon plates or application of caulk anything to break the electrical contact between the two: brass and zinc. FIBERGLASS DOORS DO NOT EXPERIENCE THE REACTION. No preventative action is needed.
What is the warranty on the Multi-point Locking System (MPL)? The warranty of the hardware following the door line example: Smooth Star Limited 20 year warranty.
What finish options are for the MPL? Entry Doors: Brass, Brush Nickel, Black Nickel, or Oil-Rubbed Bronze Patio Doors: White, Brass, Brush Nickel, or Oil-Rubbed Bronze
Is bevel in Bevelline glass polished or ground? Polished
Why do endrails not come all the way to the edge? The aesthetics of a dark brown rail appearing at the bottom and top of the Ponderosa pine stile is unacceptable for a stain-grade door. The background color is too strong. In addition the stains and paints don't adhere well to the polyolefin matrix material (like painting a Ziploc bag). It is generally a slower process for assembly, and the extra transverse cuts needed increase the costs of the endrails and stiles, the milling of which are predicated on linear cutting.
I am designing my home and having difficulty selecting a door. Do you have anything to help me in making my decision? Yes, Build Your Door program is available to help customers pick out door styles. Click here to access the program.
Does Therma-Tru offer CAD files? No, however there are files that are compatible with CAD here.

Click here to pre-order The Whore of Akron and click here to read Scott Raab's LeBron Watch >>
I pick up my ticket at will call and watch a thunderstorm roiling above Biscayne Bay. The sky blackens, the wind gusts, the lightning crackles. In a minute or two, a wall of fat raindrops sweeps the street alongside the arena, and then moves along, leaving the air thickened, sticky warm. My shirt is soaked with sweat and rain. Toxic, this weather. Fat men keel over, their lungs full of syrup, their aortas burst, in this sort of sauna.
Some whiskered lout waves me over as I approach the stairs to the entrance. Jesus, he looks like some version of me that never got sober or grew fat as a pregnant sow. His name is Jack Subwick. He left Cleveland for Florida years ago and settled in Boca Raton. He doesn't have a ticket, says he doesn't care about the game, but he has opening-night programs for the Heat's whole life span, and asks me to pick one up for him and bring it back out.
I tell Jack to give me his number and I'll grab him a program and call to arrange delivery. Jack mulls it over briefly, then scribbles his number on the back of a restaurant coupon he yanks from his pocket.
Two missions.
It turns out the Heat have printed three covers of tonight's program one with Wade, one with Bosh, one with James. I take one of each.
On his cover, LeBron glares into the camera, head lowered, eyes hooded, tight-lipped, his thick white headband riding ever higher on his forehead as his hairline approaches oblivion. He stands with his hands on his hips, with his shoulders thrust forward, the visual embodiment of his summertime tweet:
"Don't think for one min that I haven't been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!"
He's ready to wreak havoc upon the NBA. No prisoners. Blood on the hardwood. Mano a mano. If your name's on Bron-Bron's list, you're going down hard as a motherfucker.
That's the pose. I think back to a game his rookie season, against the Indiana Pacers, when NBA tough guy Ron Artest was mugging James as he fought for position to take an inbounds pass. Artest had an arm across LeBron's upper chest and neck and a leg planted between James's knees bowing him forward. Paul Silas was coaching the Cavs, and Silas came up off the bench screaming first at the nearest referee for not calling a foul on Artest, and then at LeBron for letting Artest unman him.
James has grown stronger and smarter over his seven seasons in the league, but he still tries to finesse defenders like Artest. His game has never hungered for a battle, much less marked him as the cruel-eyed enforcer who glares out from the program's cover.
Goddamn, it smells great in here. This has to be the best-smelling sports venue I've ever walked through. Bars everywhere, but the food grilling is what makes my nostrils twitch. Cuban chicken chop-chop. Arepas. Empanadas. It is a heavenly smell, and nearly enough to distract the brain from the women.
Nearly, I say, because damn, the women are fine. Dark hair, darker eyes, dark skin and plenty of it. Liquid they strut, supple brown legs and heart-shaped asses, teeth agleam, the peals of their laughter melding into the stew of aroma, wafting high a soft yielding cloud of spice and sizzle and samba and sunshine and everything that Cleveland, Ohio, is not.
This doesn't even feel like a sporting event it feels like a party to which I have never been invited.
By God, it is a party: The arena itself is nearly vacant. I find my seat, an excellent seat, and study a two-page spread in the front of the program FAN UP, MIAMI! devoted to instructing Heat fans how to act like actual fans. Beginning with a Rileyesque us-versus-them taunting " 'They' say that Heat fans are fickle fans," that "Heat fans don't deserve to have a team like this," and that "it's time to prove the naysayers wrong" it promises freebies and discounts to fans who get to their seats for tip-off and stick around for the whole game.
Lord. This is where LeBron James wants to play basketball, in front of sun-dried cretins who must be bribed to act as if they care about the game and the team. Where another superstar already is the Man in the locker room and on the court; where nobody in the media will ever mention his collapse against Boston, his phantom elbow pain, and his steadfast refusal to hold himself accountable for his team's big-game failures.
For as long as I've been a fan, I've rooted hard against certain teams and players, but never have I hoped to see a career-ending injury until tonight.
My seat has a face value of $165 and is one of four owned by Dr. Jeffrey Rosen, who had been hoping to get $2,500 for it, and then $1,500, and then $1,000. Jeff does a nice job of pretending not to be disappointed, and I stop myself from embarrassing him by shouting at LeBron during warm-ups. Five minutes before tip-off, the lower bowl is barely half full.
A dreadlocked old man walking with two canes makes his way to a stool at center court. The PA announcer says that this is Clarence Clemons, which I find hard to believe. Only a little while ago August 8, 1975 I saw Clarence Clemons for the first time, at the Akron Civic Theatre. I walked around the building afterward, snuck through the stage door, and thanked Bruce Springsteen for the greatest show I'd ever seen. Behind him stood the Big Man holding a fifth of Jack Daniel's, laughing as he drank lit from within, he seemed like the coolest cat on the planet. I walked over and shook his huge, hot hand.
Thirty-five years later, from Rosen's seat, I watch the shrunken Big Man rest his back against the stool, pluck his sax from its stand, plant wide his feet, and blow a slow, shimmering anthem, each lush, lonely note a requiem.
Then the court is cleared for takeoff. LeBron is introduced first, Wade last. The choreography is painstaking; at one point, each of the three mega-super-duper stars stands alone in a separate spotlight, hulking at the crowd. It feels like a Friday-night opening of a Michael Bay movie, like a roller derby or pro-wrestling match, fiction based on a true story, with an all-star cast. ESPN has raised a canopied porch in a section above one of the tunnels. Magic Johnson sits there perched on Magic Johnson's ass, an igloo of flesh.
The game is a 96-70 walkover. Orlando played its home opener last night, and Dwight Howard seems to be the sole Magic player with any want-to tonight. By the time he fouls out, the Heat are coasting and half the fans are empty seats.
James plays a swell second-banana's game 15 points, 7 assists, 6 rebounds and at no point suffers a career-ending injury. With the game decided, he spends a good chunk of the second half on the bench biting his nails, an old habit he discarded in Cleveland. Only seventy-nine games to go until the playoffs, forty of them right here in Mojitoville, where the fans need an instructional manual to operate themselves, where the team fired its thirty-person season-ticket-sales staff after those tickets sold out in July, and where the owner's son takes a piss on his dead father's pant leg to make himself look like a macher.
Welcome to Pippenhood in the tropics, putz.

Caffe Milano is one of those old time favorites in La Paz....very charming setting serving classic Italian dishes that you can always depend on to satisfy your craving for Italian comfort food, reasonably priced. Never disappoints.
We felt like we hit the trifecta here - ambiance, service and food. Not sure what is up with the reviews that rated the food average and the couple who thinks their palates are too refined to enjoy the wine. My husband is Italian and we have been to Italy several times. And, I can assure you I have been... More
We were impressed by the good reviews about Caffe Milano, and made two attempts to eat there. The information on the door of the restaurant and on the website indicated that it opened at 1 pm, so we waited outside - and waited and waited. Finally we left to find another place for lunch. The same thing happened the next... More
I admit you don't go to La Paz for italian, but the did okay. My pizza (huge) was a bit cold, undercooked & was overall only above average. The pizza wood fired crust was the best part.

Information System Jobs And Salaries
Rasmussen College - School of Technology instructor from the Brooklyn Park, MN college campus, Jacob Sorem, answers a commonly asked question, "What are information systems jobs and salaries." This video dives deeper into information systems management and career paths you can take in this field.
Hi. I'm Allie Gray Freeland and I'm the host of Rasmussen College's newest video blog series, "What should I do with my life?" So in this series, we'll talk with expert instructors to help answer the question, what the heck should I do with my life? So we're here today with Jake Sorem, who is a technology instructor through the School of Technology and Design at Rasmussen College. He's going to share some really important information with us about the educational opportunities in information systems management and then the career paths one could take in this field.
So for our graduates and anybody who's really looking for a job in the field, there's a lot of different ways that you can go with an information systems management degree. Some of the specializations will obviously lead into specific jobs, like database administration. You're going to be looking for some form of database type job. Web programming pretty much speaks for itself as well.
JACOB: For some of the others, you're looking at everything from help desk, analysis, technician. Those are the types of keywords you want to look for when you're doing searches for jobs. It could be anything from working at a small company or even a consultancy that helps a lot of companies doing, usually it's level one or level two support. What you'll be looking for. Outside of that, you could be doing design work. You could be doing manufacturing work. There's really a lot of options for IT positions out there.
JACOB: So an information systems management, depending on the specialization you're doing, could tell you how much money you'd be making. For network admin, if you're talking about help desk, something like that, you're probably looking at somewhere $25,000, $30,000 a year. Goes on up from that. If you're really good at what you do and you get into some level two, level three technicians, you could be looking at closer to $40,000.
JACOB: Database always seems like it's something that's in demand. And for that, you end up getting a little bit higher in the salary range. Sometimes they start at $35,000 to maybe even $60,000. They get up there quite quickly. Web programming could be a little bit lower. Could be higher depending on the demand and how well you do your job. I would expect something in the $25,000 to $35,000 range to start with.
ALLIE: A special thanks to Jacob Sorem for sitting with us today to talk with us about some really important information about the field of information systems management. So if this series really sparked an interest for you to want to pursue your degree, or even educational opportunities, or credentialing for information systems management, please visit www.rasmussen.edu.

This study will gather long-term data to better understand the safety of the ACRYSOF® Cachet™ Phakic Lens.
Children aged 6-11-years-old with Cystic Fibrosis who are homozygous for the F508del-CFTR are welcome to volunteer for this study.
This study is being done to learn more about the safety and tolerability of taking lumacaftor with ivacaftor.
Ivacaftor, at a different dose, is approved for some patients aged 6 and older in the US and certain other countries. Ivacaftor is marketed in the US under the trade name Kalydeco. Ivacaftor is experimental in patients with CF that are homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation.
This research study will test whether or not using an investigational drug called OMS302 during pediatric cataract surgery helps keep the pupil dilated (open) and reduces eye pain after surgery. OMS302 (Omidria™ phenylephrine and ketorolac injection 1%/0.3%) has been approved by United States Food and Drug Administration for use in adults to keep the pupil dilated during surgery and reduce eye pain after the surgery. The use of Omidria™ in children has not been FDA-approved. This study is being done to help gain FDA approval for this drug's use during cataract surgeries on children up to 3 years old.
The purpose of this study is looking at the use of a treatment for slowing the progression (worsening) of Keratoconus
With the improved survival of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants during the past decade, ROP continues to be a source of significant morbidity. Wide inter-center variability exists in the incidence of severe ROP (stage 3, 4). Quality improvement efforts have reduced the occurrence of ROP but have not eliminated this morbidity which is a common cause for blindness in children. Infants with significant ROP are at increased risk for visual impairment and blindness.1-4
The Early Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity Cooperative Group followed infants enrolled in a clinical trial evaluating early treatment for high-risk pre-threshold ROP in eyes that underwent conventional management. The final visual acuity examination at 6 years of age in children enrolled in the study showed a lasting benefit for early treatment of some eyes with ROP. However, the benefit was present only for eyes with Type 1 disease (Zone I, any stage ROP with plus disease; Zone I, stage 3 ROP with or without plus disease; Zone II, stage 2 or 3 ROP with plus disease as defined in the study). Eyes with less severe disease did not show the same benefit. The authors concluded that visual acuity was improved with early treatment, but nevertheless, 65.4% of eyes receiving early treatment develop visual acuity worse than 20/40. The practice change they suggested was that Type 1 eyes should be treated early; however, based on acuity results at 6 years of age, Type 2 eyes should be cautiously monitored for progression to Type 1 eyes.5
Several recent studies have generated significant concern about how best to prevent ROP and when it develops how best to treat severe ROP.6-9 Using lower oxygen saturation is associated with a decrease in severe retinopathy among survivors but it may also be associated with an increase in mortality.6,7 Once severe ROP has developed how best to treat it is also in a state of evolution. Mintz-Hittner and colleagues found that intravitreal bevacizumab monotherapy, as compared with conventional laser therapy, in infants with stage 3+ retinopathy of prematurity showed a significant benefit for zone I but not zone II disease. Development of peripheral retinal vessels continued after treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab, but conventional laser therapy led to permanent destruction of the peripheral retina.9 Their trial was too small to assess safety.
The safety of therapy for retinopathy of prematurity involves not only the eye but also potentially systemic issues.10 Intravitreal bevacizumab reaches the systemic circulation and this raises the concern of untoward effects on the infant's developing organs. However, such an effect has not been documented. The dose of intravitreal bevacizumab is a fraction of the dose used for cancer treatment, and the amount of circulating bevacizumab is very small. Breakdown of the blood–retina barrier could result in an increase in the level of drug in the circulation, but probably not an
appreciable increase. To determine systemic safety with statistical assurance would require a huge sample size. No such trial is currently planned. Reynolds suggests that continued vigilance will be important as use of the drug increases based on the results of recent clinical trials.10
Factors that influence visual outcomes based on current treatment approaches remains to be determined, but clearly prevention of ROP now assumes an even higher priority since early treatment is beneficial for some eyes but often does not result in normal development of visual acuity. Phase 4 surveillance of drug use, evaluation of the influence of drugs on outcome (pharmacovigilance) and comparative effectiveness research are important. Safety surveillance is designed to detect any rare or long-term adverse effects over a much larger patient population and a longer time period than was possible during the Phase I-III clinical trials. It is not our intent to influence clinical care of these patients but instead to monitor the influence of the prescribed care on outcomes.
The purpose of this project is to develop and test preliminary reliability of a newly developed pediatric tool, the Pediatric Sensory Modality Assessment and Rehabilitation Techniques (SMART), which will measure cognitive awareness for children with severe brain damage. Seven children, between the ages of 3-12 years, with physician-documented severe brain damage and considered medically stable are needed for this study. Recruitment flyers will be disseminated at MUSC and the greater Charleston area community to recruit parents/legal guardians of children with severe brain damage. Once parental/legal guardian and physician consents are in place, participants will be evaluated using the Pediatric SMART 5 times within 10 days. The Pediatric SMART is made up of 5 domains that are olfactory, visual, auditory and vestibular, gustatory, and tactile. Test administration requires approximately 1 hour and can be completed in settings convenient for parents/legal guardians. The potential benefit to study participants is that the findings from the Pediatric SMART may identify sensory and motor strengths of participants. Knowledge of these strengths may enhance current rehabilitation and treatment plans, which may lead to functional improvements; although, this cannot be guaranteed. It is a goal of this study to evaluate the preliminary Pediatric SMART reliability. Once reliability has been substantiated for the Pediatric SMART in further and future study, future children with severe brain injury, being evaluated with the Pediatric SMART, may have rehabilitation and treatments opportunities that are better informed, leading to greater improvement in functional and participatory outcomes.
This study is intended to compare the accuracy of the visual acuity measurement done with a new projected eyechart method when compared to the gold standard (Marco Guyton-Minkowski PAM) before surgery and Snellen wallchart acuity after cataract surgery.
Some doctors feel that a child with hyperopia (farsightedness) should have glasses before any potential vision problems develop. Other doctors feel that children should not be given glasses unless vision problems occur. It is not known if hyperopia should be treated right away or only if other problems occur. This is the reason the study is being done.
The purpose of this study will be to collect a skin biopsy (skin tissue) or blood sample from each participating patient with retinal degeneration, such as Best's disease or age-related macular degeneration (AMD), including geographic atrophy (GA). Each skin biopsy or blood sample will be taken to the laboratory of the investigators where skin epithelial cells called fibroblasts, will be induced to make "pluripotent stem cells" or "iPSCs". These iPSCs will be differentiated into retina epithelial cells which will be tested for their ability to function as new retinal cells in animal models of retinal degeneration. Because these special cells are individualized or patient-specific, they will not be rejected by that individual patient, and thereby represent the first step in a potential future treatment for retinal disease. Cells will also be processed at the New York Stem Cell Foundation IPSC core facility using the procedure described above. The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) will enter into a material transfer agreement (MTA) initiated by the MUSC Foundation for Research Development. Once MTAs are initiated, samples will be coded at MUSC. Coded samples will be sent via dry ice to ensure full competency to the NYSCF. Samples will remain coded at MUSC and will not be released to the NYSCF. Fibroblasts will be reprogrammed using the method described above and sent back to MUSC (as iPS cells) for the research purposes of this study. Cells will only be identifiable to the NYSCF by disease, sex, and gender. Once cells are received by the NYSCF they receive a number bar code for further processing and are in no way traceable to the patient by the NYSCF. Reprogrammed cells will be stored at the NYSCF biorepository but only shared with the knowledge of MUSC. These samples will be used for the purposes of this study. Any other use will be evaluated by the investigators and the MUSC Foundation for Research Development and the appropriate action taken. Once samples are processed that will not be withdrawn from the biorepository. The NYSCF biorepository is a secure facility with only authorized personnel having access to the facility
This research is being done with children who have a condition called intermittent exotropia. Intermittent exotropia is the medical term used when the eyes turn out some of the time and are straight at other times. Intermittent exotropia is one of the most common types of eye misalignment in children.
Intermittent exotropia is often treated with surgery on the eye muscles to make the eyes straight again. There are different ways to do this surgery to straighten the eyes. One way is to operate on two muscles on one eye. Another way is to operate on one muscle on each eye. Both ways of doing the surgery work well but we do not know if one way is better than the other. This is the reason why the study is being done.

Mind Control is Now a Reality: UW Researcher Controls Friend Via an Internet Connection
Okay… as soon as I wrote the title above I thought: "this sounds just like something from the cover of a doomsday supermarket tabloid." But the thing is, it's absolutely true. Here's a rundown of the amazing thing that has happened: Rajesh Rao, a University of Washington professor of computer science and engineering, looked at a computer screen and played a simple video game with his mind. The game required him to fire a cannon at a target, but to do so he had to imagine moving his right hand to hit the fire button. To do all this he wore a fairly amusing cap covered with blue rings that read his brainwaves. Now here's the amazing part. [Read more…]
Google's Project Loon: Balloon-Powered Internet
