A few days ago, I wrote about Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner's comment that he wants a "physical presence" at fullback and his usage (or lack thereof) of fullbacks in 2013.
Today, we grabbed fullback Jerome Felton, who was a Pro Bowler in 2012, as he came off the field following the morning walkthrough. He was asked about fullbacks in Turner's offense.
"He's gone from using one a lot to not very much, so I think it just depends on the system and players -- if he has a fullback and what that fullback can do," he said. "I'm confident in my ability and I think whenever we run two-back runs we'll be successful, and that will help me get more reps."
Felton's situation is complicated by the fact that he is scheduled to make a little over $2.1 million this season (and $2.5 million in 2015, though that's getting a little ahead of ourselves). If the Vikings choose to cut him and go with Zach Line or forgo a fullback, they could save $1.3 million.
"Obviously all that stuff factors into it," Felton acknowledged. "But at the end of the day, you just control what you can control, and that's me performing when I'm out there."
Felton believes the question is whether Turner will use a fullback, not who should be that fullback.
"I'm confident myself," he said. "If we're going to use a fullback, I feel I'll be that guy."
The playground started to buzz as the four buses rolled up to Lucy Craft Laney School in North Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon. The students at the school had been working all morning to build a brand-new playground and were excited to see the Vikings show up to help finish the job.
New head coach Mike Zimmer led the Vikings off the first bus, and most of the players and many members of the personnel staff, including general manager Rick Spielman, participated in the team's annual playground build. They grabbed shovels and wheelbarrows as soon as they stepped off the buses. At around 2:30 p.m., after a couple of hours of work, the job was done.
"It's important to our players that we give back to Minnesota as much as they give to us, so it's been really fun for us to get it," Zimmer said, surveying the scene. "It has actually been fun for us to get away from practice a little bit and get out and kind of joke around with each other."
Rap songs and dance music blared over the speakers as players and coaches worked alongside teachers, administrators and students of a wide range of ages. The hot sun beamed down, with an occasional cloud offering a moment of shade, but the players appeared to be having a blast.
"I just love the fact that everybody is here with the same goal, the same mindset, which is to help provide and enhance the playground and the culture here at the school so kids get to have fun and experience each other with a great playground," wide receiver Greg Jennings said.
Among the players participating in the event was rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who was tasked with painting checkerboards on some tabletops. Bridgewater was wearing a pair of work gloves, of course, but he took them off to sign autographs and pose for pictures with the kids.
"It's very cool," said Bridgewater, the 32nd overall pick in the draft. "I look forward to being in Minnesota for many years. So to be out here after less than a month and to be able to make an impact, to impact this school … it's just a great feeling to be able to leave our imprint here and I'm glad this school will have a playground that they'll be able to play on for many, many years to come."
Most of the Vikings organization arrived after Wednesday's organized team activity workout, but some employees, including members of the media relations staff, arrived first thing in the morning to assist with the project. Zimmer, who mostly supervised at the playground build, said it was a good thing that the coaches and players got to spend some time together off the field.
"It's more of a relaxed atmosphere," Zimmer said. "It's good. It's good to be around them when you don't have a whistle in your mouth and trying to be demanding on everything."
As teams starting anew at head coach, the Vikings, Lions, Browns, Buccaneers, Texans, Titans and Redskins were given a two-week head start on their offseason conditioning programs. That head start is coming to an end this week, so we talked with Vikings linebacker Audie Cole about the importance of being allowed to get a jump on most of the league.
"Right now, I don't think any of us is an expert on what's going on defensively," Cole said. "We're still learning what the coaches want us to do because it's different than what we've done. We need to pick it up as fast as we can, and to have two [more] weeks helps."
No position on any of the teams mentioned above better illustrates the need for a head start than the Vikings' linebackers. The Vikings have played the same defense with essentially the same linebacker responsibilities since 2006. So that means even 31-year-old Chad Greenway has never played in any other defense than the Cover-2-oriented system that came to town with Brad Childress and then-first-year defensive coordinator Mike Tomlin eight years ago.
Until April 7, the new coaching staff and its players weren't allowed to even talk football. If they passed in the hallways at Winter Park, they could say "hello," "how's it goin'," "boy, some weather we're having, eh?" But they couldn't talk football, per rules of the Collective Bargaining Agreement established in 2011.
"It was a little strange," tight end Kyle Rudolph admitted this week.
The Vikings' coaches, led by new head coach Mike Zimmer, went about their business. Zimmer had a new team-meeting area with theater-like seating built in the corner of the indoor practice facility. He overhauled the strength and conditioning program, and made changes to the nutrition program.
Then, on April 7, Zimmer and his coaches were allowed to teach football, at least off the field. They could meet with players and discuss actual football. Go through the playbook. Those kinds of things. But as far as on the field, only strength and conditioning activities are allowed at this point.
The Vikings, however, will get an extra voluntary veteran minicamp, which also should help. Especially at linebacker, where the Vikings have eight players, several potential answers and only one confirmed starter in Greenway. But even Greenway's role is uncertain.
"We're still learning what the plays are called and how the coaches want us to play," Cole said. "It's not that big a deal. I mean there's only so many things you can do. Maybe, I don't know, we won't be as much of a Cover 2 team as we used to be. But we're finding all of that out now."
If one were to pencil in – lightly – a prospective depth chart at linebacker, it might look something like this:
MLB: Jasper Brinkley, Cole, Simoni Lawrence.
WLB: Gerald Hodges, Michael Mauti, Terrell Manning.
SLB: Greenway, Larry Dean.
Brinkley was the starter in the middle two years ago, but was allowed to leave via free agency to Arizona. It didn't work out for him there and now he's back with a tentative sliver of a lead on Cole. Hodges, a second-year player now, is highly-regarded, but wasn't able to seize the weak-side job against weak competition a year ago.
Of course, because of the new defense, there's potentially some new position flexibility that the coaches will explore during the minicamps. Even Greenway, who has been a strong-side backer his entire career, might move around.
"I think I could play any of the three positions," Cole said. "I think the way we're doing it, anybody could play any of the positions. That's a good thing to have. You can always have people to fit into the puzzle. We've only scratched the surface on what we're going to do, so it's going to take us a while to figure this out.
"But I think if you talk to any of the linebackers, they'd say we have the guys we need on the roster. We all think each one of us can play."
That may be true, but it's highly unlikely that the Vikings will come out of next month's draft without at least one more linebacker in the mix. And depending on how the first round shakes out, that new face may come in as the top dog at one of the three starting positions.
Vikings guard Josh Samuda suffered a gruesome ankle injury during today's voluntary offseason workout. The 25-year-old broke his fibula and dislocated his right ankle, according to a league source. He could also have ligament damage.
He will undergo surgery Wednesday morning. Doctors will find out the full extent of the injury then.
Samuda was participating in a non-contact drill in which one player chased another in a tight circle. He twisted his ankle, collapsed on the turf and clutched his leg, obviously in a great deal of pain. After a few minutes, he was helped off the field and taken into the trainer's room.
The workout was open to the media, and an image of Samuda's ankle quickly went viral.
Samuda signed a reserve/future contract with the Vikings in January. He played 16 games for the Miami Dolphins in 2012 after signing as a rookie free agent out of Massachusetts. He did not play in 2013 after the Dolphins waived him before the start of the season.
In other news, the Vikings signed tight end Allen Reisner, who played for them in 2011 and 2012.
Reisner, 25, spent his first two seasons with the Vikings after they signed him as a rookie free agent out of Iowa. He played 10 games over two seasons, making two catches for 28 yards. The Jacksonville Jaguars signed him off the Vikings' practice squad late in the 2012 season and he played five games for them in 2013, making three starts and catching five passes for 40 yards.
The Vikings also worked out Towson running back Terrance West today, according to a league source. West, 23, set the Div. I FCS single-season rushing record in 2013 with 2,519 yards.
Vikings free-agency tracker …
We're tracking all things Purple, starting with what's already happened and projecting what still needs to happen as the Vikings work their way through free agency. Here we go:
QB Matt Cassel: Agreed to terms on a two-year, $10 million deal on March 8. Signed the deal March 10.
What it means: The Vikings would have gone into free agency with their No. 1 need being a veteran quarterback to serve as their temporary bridge to the future. Cassel, who went 3-3 and played in all five of the Vikings' wins a year ago, isn't perfect, but he's the best-case scenario in a weak quarterback market. Now, the Vikings can shift their QB focus to picking the right one in the draft.
DE Everson Griffen: Agreed to terms on a five-year, $42.5 million deal on March 8. Signed on March 10.
What it means: A starting right defensive end to replace Jared Allen would have been priority No. 2 heading into free agency. Signing the 26-year-old Griffen filled that need with a familiar player who's been solid, is full of star potential and is heading into his prime seasons.
MLB Jasper Brinkley: Signed a one-year deal before the free-agency signing period began March 11.
What it means: The Vikings let Brinkley, a starter in 2012, walk away before the 2013 season. Then he failed in Arizona and was released after the season. So we're not talking any guarantees here. He will compete with Audie Cole and Michael Mauti at middle linebacker with perhaps one of them being able to move over and compete with Gerald Hodges at the weak-side linebacker spot.
C-G Joe Berger: Signed a one-year deal March 11.
What it means: Berger might be the most underrated player on the team. He's primarily a center, and he's been good enough to start there. But he also can be a serviceable starter and backup at both guard positions as well.
RB Matt Asiata: Exclusive rights free agent signed his one-year tender.
What it means: Asiata is a good No. 3 running back and special teams player. The Vikings still can use a change-of-pace back with pass-catching skills as their No. 2 back.
NT Fred Evans: The 30-year-old unrestricted free agent signed a one-year deal on March 13.
What it means: Evan will continue to provide depth on the nose, which is something he's done with the Vikings since 2007. He's not a front-line talent, but is a wide body with experience. Makes too many silly encroachment penalties while lined up with his head right over the ball, but is a good player to have for depth and emergency situations.
WR Jerome Simpson: The acrobatic, but inconsistent veteran receiver signed a third consecutive one-year, "prove-it" deal with the Vikings on March 14.
What it means: Focusing just on football, it means the Vikings now have four experienced receivers to go along with tight end Kyle Rudolph. Are those four receivers written down in pen as the top four that will start the season? No. Beyond Cordarrelle Patterson and Greg Jennings, anything can happen, depending on whether the Vikings come across something better between now and September. But Simpson gives new offensive coordinator Norv Turner a deep threat that can leap and pick passes out of the air. Of course, Simpson also is prone to disappearing for long stretches, dropping too many passes and getting in trouble off the field. His arrest for DWI last December could result in another league suspension to go with the three-game punishment he served when he joined the Vikings in 2012.
LG Charlie Johnson: Agreed to a two-year, $5 million deal on March 15.
What it means: Although he struggled last season and the Vikings were willing to lose him while they focused on higher priorities, Johnson has started 48 of 49 games since joining the Vikings in 2011, including all but one game at left guard the past two seasons. With Johnson's return, the starting line should remain intact for a third straight season. General Manager Rick Spielman said he's impressed by the progress of Jeff Baca, a sixth-round pick a year ago, and that the team will be looking to address the offensive line in the draft. But re-signing Johnson, 30, for about $2.5 million this season suggests the Vikings are willing to let Johnson handle the position while they groom a backup that could take his spot as early as 2015.
NT Linval Joseph: Agreed to a five-year, $31.5 million deal on March 11, the first day of the signing period.
What it means: Well, the Vikings didn't have a starting-caliber nose tackle on the roster. They also haven't had a true nose tackle in top form since Pat Williams' last dominant season in 2009. Not coincidently, that was the last time the Vikings played shut-down run defense. Priority No. 1 defensively for new coach Mike Zimmer is shut-down run defense. Joseph is a 6-4, 328-pounder who's only 25 and was a second-round pick in 2010.
CB Captain Munnerlyn: A competitive, hard-nosed, 5-8, 195-pounder, he signed a three-year, $14.3 million deal with $7 million guaranteed on March 13.
What it means: The Vikings finally have someone to replace Antoine Winfield, 12 months after making a calculated, financial-based mistake in releasing him and placing blind faith into Josh Robinson, a second-year pro who had never played inside over the slot in the nickel defense. Munnerlyn has three years of experience at starting outside and sliding inside when his former team, the Panthers, went to the nickel. He's also a 25-year-old rising star who made plays on a defense that ranked No. 2 in the league in yards and points allowed last season. In five seasons in Carolina, Munnerlyn, a seventh-round draft pick in 2009, returned five of seven career interceptions for touchdowns. The guy he replaces, Chris Cook, a second-round pick in 2010, is still looking for his first career pick. He signed with the 49ers on March 14.
CB Derek Cox: The 6-1, 180-pound Cox signed a one-year deal on March 13 and hopes he can reclaim what he had for four years in Jacksonville and lost last season in his only year with the Chargers.
What it means: Remains to be seen. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer proclaims himself to be "The Fixer." Well, if he can fix this guy, he might have three good corners in Xavier Rhodes, Munnerlyn and Cox. Cox had 12 interceptions in four seasons with the Jaguars after being drafted in the third round in 2009. He signed a big deal with the Chargers last year, but was benched three times and essentially given up on after a horrendous outing against the Chiefs in November. The Vikings have eight corners on the roster, but they'll be looking for more, probably in the draft.
DT Tom Johnson: At 6-3 and 290, the 29-year old signed a one-year contract worth $875,000 on March 20.
What it means: He's another cog in the middle of the defensive line. Settled in with the Saints the past three seasons after moving all over the world to play, but New Orlean's 3-4 didn't suit him. Will likely be at three-technique, although his experience at end could make him versatile. A bit old, but it's a low risk and Zimmer clearly wants to improve the interior line.
DL Corey Wootton: The 6-6, 270-pounder got a one-year deal worth $1.5 million, plus incentives, on March 21.
What it means: Wootton can play both tackle and end, but is likely to be more of the latter under Zimmer. He had a hip issue that hampered him in Chicago, where he played the past four years. Wootton started 15 games for the Bears last season, so he's not chopped liver. This is an intriguing signing, if he returns to full health.
OG Vlad Ducasse: The 6-5, 320 pound Ducasse visited Winter Park early in free agency, and agreed to a one-year deal Sunday.
What it means: A four-year veteran, it's possible Ducasse could be a guy who moves around the line, as he was a tackle in college. Another low-risk signing that means the Vikings won't have to draft many offensive linemen. As we wrote in December in a feature on Kevin Williams and Jared Allen, the Vikings got younger and cheaper on the defensive line during free agency.
1. Veteran quarterback (Re-signed Matt Cassel)
2. Starting right defensive end (Re-signed Everson Griffen)
3. Young, true run-stuffing nose tackle (Signed Linval Joseph)
4. Cornerback (Signed Captain Munnerlyn and Derek Cox)
5. Left guard (Re-signed Charlie Johnson and added Vlad Ducasse)
6. Linebacker: The roster includes only unproven prospects behind Chad Greenway. Unfortunately for the Vikings, there doesn't appear to be any good fits in free agency based on skills or age. This need is something that will be addressed in the draft. The muddied picture also will begin to clear once the new coaching staff identifies Greenway's role and how and where intriguing youngsters Audie Cole, Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges fit.
Other needs: Change-of-pace backup running back and more competition at strong safety. Where things stand: The running back could come as a bargain deal late in free agency or late in the draft.

[ History
of the Graham Family ] [ Cover page ] Preface Grahams are Scotch Irish From Scotland to Virginia John Graham's Will John Graham's Children Anne, daughter of John Graham, Sr. [ The descendants of Lanty Kincaid ] [ Betsy, daughter of John Graham, Sr. ] Florence Graham married House of James Graham, Sr., at Lowell Early settlement of Lowell [ The descendants of Samuel and James Guinn ] [ Other Early Settlers ] James and Florence Graham's Family Joseph and Rebecca Graham Joseph and Rebecca Graham's children More concerning early settlement of Lowell Elizabeth Graham captured by the Indians Col.

The Grahams, like many of the early settlers of the Valley of Virginia, were of Scotch-Irish descent and came from counties Donegal and Londonderry, in the northern part of Ireland. The term, Scotch-Irish, does not necessarily mean a blending of blood between the Scotch and Irish nations, but implies the Scotch who emigrated from Scotland and settled in Ireland. During the years beginning shortly after the middle of seventeenth century, there was a large emigration from Scotland to Ireland, having been brought about on account of religious persecutions the Scotch received at home. The treatment and torture dealt out to these pious religious people, who held tenaciously to the principles of the Presbyterian faith, by the [2] church of England, under the false cloak of religion, would of itself fill a volume much larger than that contemplated in these pages, and reference is merely made to show the stern and unwavering character of a people who were driven from post to pillar, and suffered almost unendurable hardships and degradations, rather than depart from a principle which they believed to be the teachings of the Bible, as well as having the approval of their conscience. Thus, more than two centuries ago our ancestral parents left their beautiful homes in their native land, and looking for the last time on the green sloping swords of the Grampian Hills and bid farewell forever to the graves of their fathers and mothers, and left behind all that was near and dear to them, even as their own lovely Scotland, and took up their march for the Emerald Isle, in the vain hope that the persecutions and trials which had hitherto made life hideous, would cease and they would be free to exercise their faith[,] which had so long been the desire of their conscience. [3] But alas! for human expectations. Their sojourn is but for a while, until the broad and inviting land across the Atlantic bade them once more take up their line of march and plant their homes in the New World, where they would be free to worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience, unhindered by church or state. Among the many families who thus emigrated from Scotland to Ireland and later from Ireland to America, we might mention the following names: Forbesses, Stuarts, Hamiltons, Montgomerys, Alexanders, Grahams, Shaws, Moores, Lewises, Pattons, Mathews, Prestons, Baxtons, Lyles, Grigsbys, Crawfords, Comminses, Browns, Wallaces, Wilsons, Caruthers, Campbells, McClungs, McCues, McKees, McCowns, Lockridges, Boyds, Barclays, McDonals and Baileys, described as, knights and gentlemen of Scotland, whose prosperity holds good to this day. They were Irish Presbyterians, who, being of Scotch extraction, were called Scotch-Irish. [4] These names are to-day familiar house-hold words of the names of our own land and are but a repetition, and of the same lineal descent of their noble ancestors, who, more than two centuries ago stood ever firm to the Magna Charta of Scottish rights, and rallied under their brave banners, emblazoned with the faith of their own creed, in the famous golden letters, For Christs Crown and Covenant, they waited undaunted, the tyranny of their foes. As we have said, their sojourn in Ireland was but temporary, as to a large proportion of those who emigrated there. Of course, many hindered by poverty and other causes no doubt, made that their permanent home. The relief which they sought, they found but temporary in their new found homes in Ireland. Under the rule of tyrant kings, their suffering and punishment was endurable only for its contrasts with their former suffering. Tithes and taxes demanded from their wrecked estates to support a church, not of their own choice; restrained [5] from speaking their own opinions; living in a strange land; dwelling among enemies of their faith, all combined to make them an unhappy and restless people. Longing for new homes, the silent whispers came across the ocean that the Mayflower, years before had landed others, persecuted like themselves, safely on the other side of the blue waters. This gave them hope. For thou, O, God, hast proved us, and thou hast tried us as silver is tried; thou broughtest us into the net; thou layest afflictions upon our loins; thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water; but though broughtest us out into a wealth place. Gathering together what little worldly goods they possessed, which was very meagre, and often nothing, save their Bible. They embarked for the New World, landing upon the banks of the Deleware, [sic] and many rested for a season in the land of Pennsylvania. William Penn, having been formerly a subject of the King of England, and witnessed the perse- [6] cution of his own church (though he himself was a favorite of King James) it was but natural that these people should seek out in the New World, those that had been persecuted for conscience sake in the old world. Among those who sought fresh relief and new homes amid the untrodden forests of America, few stood higher or occupied positions more exalted than the Grahams. During that bloody, treacherous, and ever memorable struggle in England, Ireland and Scotland, in which King James was dethroned, and William, Price of Orange, a presbyterian, became his successor a time when no man could remain neutral, but, all must declare, either for the time honored established church of England; the papistry of King James; or for that faith which they believed to be taught in Holy Writ. According to the dictates of their own conscience, the Grahams occupied prominent positions on either side. One Richard Graham, known as Viscount Preston, held the position of Secretary of State of [7] Scotland, under King James, about the year 1685; and history tells us that he was one [of] the privy council, and most trusty advisers of the king; that his plans and recommendations were often adhered to, rather than those of the king himself. As a leader of the House of Commons, he counseled King James to reassemble the Houses of Parliament, in order to secure a peaceful settlement of differences between church and state. He was also made Lord Lieutenant for both the counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland, a position very rare and remarkable for one man to occupy. During the absence of King James from the throne, who, on account of his fear of opposers, had fled to Salisbury, Richard Graham and four associates were appointed a committee, known as the Council of Five, to transact the business of the Throne until such time as might be deemed expedient for the king to return. The positions of high honor and trust, held and occupied by this one man were many, and to rehearse [8] them all in detail, would require more space than it is our purpose here to consume in this brief sketch; suffice it to say that he seems to have been a leader of his party in both civic and military affairs; a minister at the courts of foreign countries; honored, trusted and adhered to, and we might add, obeyed by kings; feared and esteemed by the House of Commons, and held in the highest respect by the common people. While he was true and devoted to King James, in the sense of patriotism, it does not appear that he was a persecutor of those who differed from the kings religious views. James Graham, of Claverhouse, viscount of Dundee, was also a noted character in that eventful struggle, and while his persecution of those who differed from the religious persuasions of King James, must ever be deplored, we take consolation in the fact that he but carried out the dictates and decrees of his Master. That his fidelity to the king was ever true through life, and even in the hour of death, is fully substantiated [9] in his last utterance, after having spent an eventful life in the kings cause. After King James had vacated the throne, and William and Mary had been triumphantly crowned, and the armies of James abandoned and scattered, General Graham, with his indomitable will and ever-to-be admired energy, hoping against hope, collected together such as he could of the remaining fragmentary army of his escaped master and repaired to the Highlands of Scotland, where he succeeded in interesting the Scottish Chiefs of those Highland Clans, in behalf of the cause of the late king. The remoteness of these semi-barbarians from the active scene of war, coupled with their disinclination to inform themselves of the nature of the conflict, soon led them through the fluency of Grahams speech to espouse his cause. Having sought and obtained the sympathy of all the principal chiefs of the various clans, he assembled them together and a council was held to decide the mode of warfare. The detached fragmentary of the army whom [10] Graham hitherto commanded, chagrined with former defeats, protested against a battle with those who espoused the cause of King William. While the leaders of the Highland Clans urged immediate assault, saying their men were ready and eager for the fray. General Graham was influenced by the counsel of the Highlanders, assuring them that he would lead them to victory; that he himself would march in front of his army; to this, his subordinate officers objected, saying, he was too valuable a leader to expose his person in front of the battle, and urged him to remain in the rear and dictate the movements of his army in the on-coming conflict. To this Graham replied, your people are accustomed to seeing their leader in the van of battle, and there I shall be seen this day, but after the decision of this day, I shall be more careful of my person and not expose myself in action as heretofore has been my custom. After that statement, his army was commanded to move forward, himself being in the lead. [11] Soon the foe was met and the battle of Killikrankie was fought. Early
in the engagement Graham was shot, having raised his hand above his head
and standing erect in his stirrups, giving command, his shield or armour
raised above his waistband, exposing his person, when the ball took effect,
he fell from his horse and one of his subordinate officers coming up to
him, inquired if his injuries were fatal, Graham answered by saying, How
goes the cause of the king? The attendant answered, the cause of the
king is well; how is your lordship? Graham replied, it matters not for
me, so the cause of the king is safe. These were his last words. Though
dying on the field, his army won a great victory and the battle of Killikrankie
has passed into history, as one of the most memorable events of that time.
History hands down to us other names of the Grahams, who were more or less
noted in their day and time, of which we might mention, Malcolm Graham,
who is last, but by no means least, stood high in society and was [12]
bound with a golden chain by King James the II to Ellen Douglass, the girl
he loved so well; dishonoring thus thy loyal name.
His chain of gold the king unstrung; The links oer Malcolms neck he flung, Then gently drew the glittering band, And laid the clasp on Ellens hand. SCOTTS LADY OF THE LAKE.
From the above selection it will be noticed that the name is spelled Greame.
Whether the author drew upon his poetical license for this misnomer or
whether the name was sometimes so spelled by the Scotts, we are unable
to determine.
In the early settlement of this country, when people paid but little attention to the orthography of names the name was often spelled Grimes. There seems, however, to have been no authority whatever for this contortion of the name. The only excuse that might be offered for this misapplication of the name is that the names of the early settlers were scarcely, if ever, seen in print and but seldom in writing, but were handed [13] orally from one to another, thus giving plenty of opportunity for misunderstandings. We can recall many names, which in our youth were pronounced differently from what they now are. To illustrate, the name Stevenson was called Stinson; the name Withrow was called Watherow; Stodghill was called Stargeon and so on. We even find in this day a few of the old-styled fathers and mothers who do not like to discontinue the old-fashioned way of expressing these names. The Graham name in all English history and in the history of our country, as well as in all the legal writings pertaining to the family, from the earliest settlement in America down to the present time, is spelled as we now have it Graham. The people of Scotland of the same family tree were known as clans; and these clans seem to have been bound together by very strong and endearing ties. Such were the adhesion of these family clans that they kept themselves almost entirely aloof [14] from other clans; marriage and intermarriage by members of one clan to another was scarcely admissible. If a member of one clan provoked or insulted a member of another clan, the insult was resented by the clan whose member had been insulted; thus we find arose many of the clan feuds, with which Scottish history so much abounds. Each clan had its official head chief or leader, whose duty it was to dictate to his people such a course as seemed to him most wise and discreet or that happened to please the whims of his own fancies. In military affairs this leader or chief was expected to occupy the most dangerous positions and to perform the most daring of the exploits in the heat of battle. He must either win a victory, in which he performed some noble part, or die in defeat. The Graham clan was a very large and influential one, and, perhaps, at the time of its greatest power, had for its official head James Graham, the Earl of Montrose, who laid down his life for love to his king. [15] It is claimed in Scottish history that the Graham family dates back for a thousand years, and has been conspicuous in the annal of their country, from hovel to the palace, in arts, in eloquence and in song. It was a daring man by the name of Graham that first broke through the walls of Agricola which the Roman general had built between the firths of the Clyde and Forth to keep off the incursions of the Northern Britons, and the ruins of which, still visible, are called to this day the ruins of Grahams Dyke. |

Life Under the Ozone Hole - a Salon.com Special Report Posted by BeautyCare.com Life Under the Ozone Hole - a Salon.com Special Report SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- In Punta Arenas, Chile, preschoolchildren gather in the school auditorium to watch Paul the Penguin, the mascotof a German cosmetics company, learn how to slather himself from head to webwith extra-strength sun block. Their parents scan the newspaper each morningfor the traffic-signal graphic that tells them how much dangerous ultravioletradiation they will be exposed to that day. A red signal means that theradiation level is so high that it can cause some people's skin to burn withinfive minutes. Welcome to life under the ozone hole -- which, according to scientists,reached its largest dimensions in September, stretching from Antarctica tosouthern Chile, thousands of miles away. In a special report, Salon health correspondent Dawn MacKeen files fromground zero of this ecological catastrophe -- the Chilean port city of120,000 people that has become famous, or infamous, as the place that squatsdirectly under the gaping hole in the earth's protective ozone layer. "What'shappening down here on the edge of nowhere is an uncontrolled scienceexperiment: exposing human beings in their natural habitat to long-term dosesof potentially deadly ultraviolet radiation," writes MacKeen.

Nurse-Midwives Remind Families to Stay Safe in the Sun Posted by BeautyCare.com Nurse-Midwives Remind Families to Stay Safe in the Sun WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Now that we are in the midst of familyvacation season, the American College of Nurse-Midwives, reminds women to keepthemselves and their families safe in the sun. When the warnings from early summer fade, many Americans forget about thedangers of sun exposure. However, the sun is still strong enough to causepermanent skin damage and premature aging. Here are some importanttips: Dangers: * One or two blistering sunburns in childhood can double the risk of developing melanoma, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, in later life. Children who tan poorly, have fair skin or hair, or have a family history of skin cancer are at greatest risk and need to be protected. But, kids with dark skin burn too! * Excessive sun exposure can damage the immune system and make you or your children more susceptible to diseases such as cold sores, chicken pox and lupus. * Excess exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can burn the cornea of the eye. Long term exposure to UV rays can increase the chance of cataracts and other serious eye problems. * Antibiotics in the tetracycline family (such as doxycycline and minocycline) increase your sensitivity to the sun. * Women planning to have a baby should be aware that early studies suggest that exposure to UV rays could cause a reduction in the amount of folates in their bodies. Since inadequate folic acid can cause neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, too much sun may increase your risk. Precautions: * Children and adults should avoid sun exposure when the sun is strongest. This is typically between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm. * Cover skin with clothing as much as possible. * Exposed skin should be protected with a broad spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 15. Reapply every two hours or according to the label. * Do not apply sunscreen to children under six months. Keep them out of the sun as much as possible. * Wear sunglasses with UV protection (especially UVB). * Perfumes and cosmetics can increase sensitivity to sunlight in some people. * Tanning booths are just as dangerous as the real thing. * If you are making plans to get pregnant, review your diet with your health care provider. Make sure your folate (folic acid) intake is adequate and don't go outside without sunscreen.

Fruitful Yield's Nutritionist Offers Natural Sun Protection Hints Posted by BeautyCare.com Fruitful Yield's Nutritionist Offers Natural Sun Protection Hints BLOOMINGDALE, Ill., June 8 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Jim Golick, acertified nutritionist for Fruitful Yield, a chain of health food and vitaminstores, sunlight, in moderation, is good for you. It promotes skin growth,stimulates hormone production, enhances immunity and improves mood."Avoid excessive sun exposure," says Golick. "This is complicated because thethinning ozone layer allows more UV rays to reach the earth and damage ourskin. UVA contributes to skin aging, UVB contributes to sunburn and cellmutation in the upper skin layers. "Approximately 20 minutes per day of sun exposure on arms and face isenough for the manufacture of vitamin D. Sunlight and vitamin D has beenknown to aid in the prevention of certain cancers. Regular sun exposure isassociated with decreases in death rates from prostate, breast and coloncancer. "There are a few dietary secrets for sunburn protection," says Golick."Consume more good fats and calcium. Some of the best sources of fats arefrom salmon, sardines, or flaxseed oil (6-12 capsules or 1-2 Tbsp.). Take2-4 citrate or chelated calcium tablets, preferably with magnesium added. Tryalso mixing flaxseed oil into yogurt, before or during your stint in the sun. "There are natural ways to increase the production of melanin, a naturalsunburn skin protectant. Take 2 capsules of L-Tyrosine two times a day and5 to 6 mg. of chelated copper. Tyrosine also helps with mood, alertness andstress resistance. Copper, however, can worsen depression in some individualswho are prone to copper excess. Most people can use it safely during thesuntan season without incident. "Antioxidants, like vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene have beendemonstrated to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer. A diet high infruits, veggies and certain herbs is also important. "Remember to appropriately apply sunscreen protection when out and aboutfor any length of time. The more natural sunscreens and sun blocks are foundin health food stores. They usually minimize the use of potentially harmfulchemicals that can be found in mass-market products. "With fish, flax, calcium, L-Tyrosine, copper and antioxidant protection,you can enjoy fun in the sun without having to pay a hefty price later." Golick is available for free consultation.

Because Sun Damage = Skin Damage ... Posted by BeautyCare.com Because Sun Damage = Skin Damage ... Keri Introduces Skin Renewal Body Lotion, the First Body Lotion With Sunscreeen and Alpha Hydroxy, to Renew & Protect Every Inch of Skin (1) PLAINSBORO, N.J., June 1 /PRNewswire/ -- First, it was our faces. Next,it was our hands. Now, thanks to Keri Lotion, even our bodies can reap thebenefits of a product containing both Alpha Hydroxy Complex and SPF 15. As part of their commitment to all-over soft, beautiful skin, the makersof Keri Lotion have created Keri Skin Renewal Body Lotion, the onlytherapeutic body lotion with sunscreen and an Alpha Hydroxy Complex to helprenew and protect your skin. Unlike any other leading body lotion, Keri SkinRenewal's advanced formula works two ways: the Alpha Hydroxy Complex helpsrevitalize the skin's appearance, while the SPF 15 protects the skin from UVAand UVB damage and helps to reduce the signs of premature aging of the skin. "Avoiding sun damage is the single best thing women can do for theirskin," notes Elyse Rafal, M.D., Assistant Professor of Dermatology atStonybrook Medical Center. "And when you use an Alpha Hydroxy product, yourskin needs extra protection. That's why Keri Skin Renewal is such anappealing product -- it helps protect women's skin from day to day incidentalexposure to UV rays, which can be as damaging as a burn you get at the beach." Unleashing the Latest Therapeutic Beauty Treatment In addition to protecting the skin from the incidental exposure to UVrays, Keri Skin Renewal also helps improve the look of your skin through theexfoliation process. According to Keri's skincare experts, exfoliation is anatural process by which the skin renews itself every few weeks. As peopleage this process slows. Skin Renewal's Alpha Hydroxy Complex enhances theexfoliation process, helping to reveal fresh, younger-looking skin -- a realbenefit for women over 35 concerned about the Keri Skin appearance of theirskin. Then, Skin Renewal Lotion also uses SPF 15 sunscreen to help protect itfrom UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. Dermatologists agree that it isespecially important to use an SPF 15 sunscreen with an Alpha Hydroxy Complexproduct because as the Complex exposes new, delicate skin, it is necessary toprovide extra protection from the damaging sun. Using an Alpha HydroxyComplex without SPF protection leaves new skin exposed to potential UV damage. "Skin Renewal is not a seasonal sunscreen product -- though we think itwill be the most important skin care product this summer," notes Mark Kreston,VP of Marketing for Keri Lotion. "Rather, Keri Skin Renewal is a year roundproduct that should be used every day -- the SPF 15 is there to protect newlyrevealed skin from the damage associated with incidental UV exposure thatoccurs everyday, 365 days a year." New Keri Skin Renewal Lotion is currently available at drug stores andretail outlets. The lotion is available in 6.5-ounce and 15-ounce bottles. Keri Skin Renewal is the latest product innovation to the Keri line ofmoisturizing lotions. Other products include Keri Fast Absorbing, a lightfeeling moisturizer with Vitamin E and aloe; and Keri Deep ConditioningOriginal, an emollient-rich lotion providing soothing moisturization for moremature, drier skin.

The company is also a leaderin orthopaedic devices, ostomy care, wound management, nutritionalsupplements, infant formulas, and hair and skin care products.

The mysterious attraction between two neutral, conducting surfaces in a vacuum was first described in 1948 by Henrik Casimir and cannot be explained by classical physics. Instead it is a purely quantum effect involving the zero-point oscillations of the electromagnetic field surrounding the surfaces. These fluctuations exert a "radiation pressure" on the surfaces and the overall force is weaker in the gap between the surfaces than elsewhere, drawing the surfaces together. Tiny though it is, the Casimir effect becomes significant at distances of microns or less and actually causes parts in nano- and micro-electromechanical systems (NEMS and MEMS) to stick together.
Now, Leonhardt and Philbin have calculated that the Casimir force between two conducting plates can turn from being attractive to repulsive if a "perfect" lens is sandwiched between them. A perfect lens can focus an image with a resolution that is not restricted by the wavelength of light. Such a lens could be made from a metamaterial made of artificial structures that are engineered to have negative index of refraction -- which means that the metamaterial bends light in the opposite direction to an ordinary material.
According to the researchers, the negative-index metamaterial is able to modify the zero-point oscillations in the gap between the surfaces, reversing the direction of the Casimir force. Indeed, the researchers believe that this repulsive force is strong enough to levitate an aluminium mirror that is 500 nm thick, causing it to hover above a perfect lens placed over a conducting plate (see figure).
Since the Casimir force acts on the length scale of nanomachines, manipulating it could be important for future applications of nanotechnology. "In the nano-world, the Casimir force is the ultimate cause of friction," said Leonhardt. "Our result means we could now envision frictionless machines or novel micromotors."
While physicists have had some success creating perfect lenses from negative-index metamaterials, the technology is still in its infancy. "The work points towards new applications of left-handed materials that are not strictly optical," says Federico Capasso of Harvard University, who studies the effect of the Casimir force on MEMS. "However, the materials are not easy to make so the concept may take a few years to realise."
Capasso adds that there also other methods to achieve a repulsive Casimir force, without the need to use artificial materials. "For example between two plates made of different materials, separated by a fluid that has a significantly different dielectric function compared to that of the plates themselves."
The researchers will report their work in New Journal of Physics.

AUGUSTA — A lone robber held up the CVS Pharmacy on Capitol Street shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday and then fled on foot.
Augusta and Maine State Police and a police dog searched the surrounding area looking for a suspect described as aged 25 to 35, 130-165 pounds, with a short scruffy beard, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and dark pants as well as dark face paint, a black hat and camouflage gloves.
The suspect reportedly headed east from the pharmacy and was tracked to a nearby parking lot where police said it appeared he got into a vehicle and fled.
A statement from Augusta Police Lt. Christopher Massey said the robber threatened an employee at the pharmacy counter "and as a result of the threat was given Oxycodone pills."
No weapon was displayed and no one was injured, police said.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call police at 626-2370. The Capitol Street CVS also was robbed May 8, and two men have been charged in that holdup.
Less than a month ago, a robber at the Rite Aid Pharmacy on North Belfast Avenue barricaded himself in the store's bathroom while allegedly shooting up the drugs he had stolen.
Nineteen-year-old Dylan Karczweski of Augusta is accused in that robbery and remains behind bars in Kennebec County jail.

20 February 2006 00:44 [Source: ICIS news]
ICIS news reported in early February that the company had declared a force majeure on supplies from the plant at
"We are speaking to our contract customers to see if we can delay the shipments," the official said on Friday. He added that it was too early to say when full production would resume, and declined to give details on the problem.
Traders said there was minimal impact on the spot market as Blue Star's monthly BPA output was only around 2,000 tonne, in contrast to average monthly import volumes of around 20,000 tonne.
BPA prices were assessed at $1,240-1,280/tonne CFR Northeast Asia last week, according to global pricing and market intelligence service ICIS-LOR, a sister company of ICIS News.
Blue Star also has a smaller 15,000 tonne/year plant at the same location. The facility has been shut since November due to poor market conditions and for maintenance, and a restart date has not been fixed.
The company is an affiliate of state-owned China National Blue Star (Group).

Rare Medical Condition. Sock Eating
Syndrome Source: Medical Tribune News Service SEATTLE - A 22-year-old woman was diagnosed with a rare medical condition, in which she craved consumption of socks. She was earthbound half a sock each evening. She also told doctors that as a teen-ager she chewed on and swallowed clothing. She was hospitalized after suffering from nausea and vomiting. The doctors found a large bezoar in her stomach. She was diagnosed with a rare condition known as pica, in which a person craves nonfood items. Previous to this incident, doctors have reported cases of people eating dirt, hair, chalk, clay, glue and other nonfood items. This is the first case of sock eating "Often, when people have a craving it is because they are lacking something in their diet," said Atif Awad, an associate professor of nutrition at the University of Buffalo.

single sock that had been missing for 19 years. 8/09/05 ===== 5/26/05 New York City -- Richard Cleeve, the President of the Board of a Cooperative Apartment Building in NYC, the Almondo, reports today that seven hundred odd socks had been recovered from the apartment of a demented tenant who has been stealing them from the laundry room for over three years. The tenant's only defense was he was getting even with the other tenants who were taking one of his socks every time he did the wash. In addition to the socks a vast quantity of arms and ammunition was found in his flat. Stephane Megecaze On my way back from university, I found a single dark blue (left) sock, possibly abandoned. I took it with me and I'm currently looking after it since it seems to have suffered from mistreatments. I may have to knit a bit this weekend to keep it alive and wearable. I already have many socks and cannot keep this one, so if you recognize this sock or wish to adopt it, please mail me and I'll send it back to you (you're lucky I didn't call the SPA, Socks Protection Agency, for abandoning it!).

A Little Less Conversation, a Little More Action
If you have read anything I have written over the past two years, you know I've been pushing the idea of designing and installing IP cameras. The reasons I advocate the use of this technology are fairly obvious.
First, IP was the snowball at the top of the hill. It's been rolling downward at an alarming rate, and frankly, it's gotten quite large. Second, in the middle of a frenzy to compete in the DVR market, the manufacturers of IP cameras, switching and recording technology remained steadfast and focused. Their objective was to improve the quality, understanding and general acceptance of a future market. Last, there has been no indication that the world is staying with or going back to analog technology.
In my writing on this topic I've spoken quite a bit about the applications of IP technology, but I haven't really touched on the "how-to." Let's cure some of this and speak about the progression from analog to digital and some of the equipment involved.
All Aboard!
Say you spent $50 thousand on an analog camera system just two years ago. Now you want to update to an IP
camera system without trashing your existing, long-term investments. Or maybe you have a very small existing
system and a very small budget, but you still want the advantages of the IP network. Or maybe you have a DVR
and you think your system is now IP based. I'm sorry; it just isn't that easy in most cases. Most DVR recorders
are not digital recorders. They are glorified analog recorders with a hard drive to record on. Most DVRs on the
market cannot accept a digital signal.
Regardless of your current situation, if you are upgrading or just want to take advantage of the improved communication of IP networks, your first step is to include your IT folks. This should be done up front to avoid major confrontations in the future.
Plug It In
Once your IT folks are on board, your first consideration is the high-speed video switcher or server. There is no magic to this unit. You connect it, in line, to your existing analog cameras without
disrupting your existing system, and you are suddenly able to jump onto the existing computer network.
If you use a high-speed switcher, you will be required to indulge in some operations software, usually included with the switcher. This is a minor concern. It's like installing Word or WordPerfect. If you use a high- speed analog-to-digital server, you will not be required to install software, because the server will have everything you need.
The bottom line is that you are now able to access your analog CCTV system via any PC within your network. The only requirement is that your PC has a Web browser. Yes, you should have firewalls, passwords and other such things to protect your privacy. However, these are topics for your IT personnel, not an old camera dog like me.
Set It Up
If you are starting from scratch with your IP system, you have several options for configuration. The first is to
connect your cameras directly to an existing or new network via a standard ethernet junction. You may also have
the option to power the cameras over the ethernet so you don't even have to run power lines. The savings in
cabling alone can be huge.
A second configuration option is to group or bunch your cameras in the field and then attach them to your network. This is done in the same way as adapting an analog system. We take two, three or 20 cameras from one section of your system and tie them into a high-speed switcher or server. Then you simply attach a multiplexed output from your switcher or server to your network. The advantage of this configuration, again, is a potentially huge reduction in cabling costs.
Replace Your Cameras
The next step in converting to an IP camera system is replacing your existing analog cameras with IP
cameras. You may still be in a position that dictates the use of existing coaxial cable to return the video to your
central control point. This is not a problem. You will need to purchase and install IP cameras that have multiple
output capability. This is a huge advantage of the IP camera over the analog unit. Since some IP cameras provide
you with both an analog and a digital output, it is a simple matter of pulling down your existing analog camera
and replacing it with the updated IP unit.
Connect the existing BNC connector to the appropriate output of the camera, change or verify your power connections, and you are back in business. (See Figure 2.) No fuss, no extra cabling, no problems. Six weeks or six months later, when you update your network cabling, you simply change the connection output from the camera to the ethernet.
Another possible approach to this upgrade solution is to replace one of your analog cameras with a dual- output IP camera and connect to the existing video system and the network simultaneously. This way you have the control and advantage of accessing the camera directly from the network, but you are still including the video in your existing recording process.
To get this far, you will need to have your IT personnel assign IP addresses to the cameras and/or switcher/servers. The IP address is a unique group of numbers assigned to every piece of equipment within a computer network. It's just what it sounds like-it is the address. It gives you the ability to single out, control, command and/or view any piece of equipment that is in your network. Again, this is not a difficult process, but it should be handled in advance of installing your IP network. Advance assignment of IP addresses allows you to have structural organization without headaches down the road.
Get Your Own Line
Along the way to an IP system, you may hear mumbling or complaints from your IT personnel about the
system's impact on bandwidth. This is a valid concern that needs to be considered from the outset. One way to
deal with the bandwidth issue is to set up a network specifically for the IP cameras. One advantage of upper-level
IP cameras is that they are actual computer servers. This means you can create a whole new network using one or
more of your cameras as the network server. The advantages are limitless. Your entire security system can run on
its own LAN or WAN without interrupting the business network.
Additionally, will be upgrading your security by adding one more firewall between you and the outside world. In many cases, companies are using the upgrade to IP camera systems as an excuse to upgrade their existing ethernet networks from 100MB to 1GB. These newer, high-speed, high-volume network systems are fabulous for both business and security. Everyone wins, especially if you are able to split your budget by having other departments absorb some of the costs.
Then you need to plan and design all new additions or sections of your surveillance system using only IP. It's an obvious next move, and since everything else is already initiated, it is a simple process.
Use It to Its Fullest
Finally, you can start to explore the advantages of your new systems. Since IP cameras are digital or have
digital output capabilities, they can record directly to hard drives instead of going through DVRs. This is
really big. DVRs tend to restrict the amount of information you can record in direct proportion to the number
of cameras you're recording. This is because the DVR is restricted by the size of its memory. Once the
memory is full, you have two choices: record over the existing data or add another DVR.
By recording directly to a server, you can categorize, file and log images in association with several different types of data. The amount of data, visual or otherwise, that you can store is limited only by your hard drive capacity. If you exceed your memory space, it is easy and financially advantageous to increase the size of your hard drive or add additional memory. In addition, server configurations tend to adapt to the constantly changing world of video and information compression codecs. DVRs are most often restricted to a single, proprietary language, and so become outdated fairly quickly.
Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks
Upgrading to IP-based cameras while maintaining your existing analog processes is actually very easy. Yes,
there are pitfalls along the way, bandwidth being the most apparent. However, careful planning, forward thinking
and a long-term commitment will usually override such problems. Two things to remember. One: IP network
video is here to stay. It is expanding, improving, and taking our industry into a plug-and-play world.
Two: Like any other technology, IP-based video systems come with a hefty learning curve. It is not, however, a curve that is beyond us. If this old dog can muster up enough gumption to learn this new art, you should have no problems at all. Jump onto the Internet. Splash through the various sites and surf away. You do not need to be heavily into computers to make these simple systems work or to understand the basis behind them. Camera theory in security is still intact.
The fact is, our IP cousins are opening doors for us that didn't exist 10 years ago. If in the end you are still lost or confused with the process of digital, call me. I would be happy to talk with you and help you take that next step to your future.

The contested provision weakened the Dodd-Frank law, thereby allowing big banks like CitiGroup to gamble on risky investments with taxpayers' money. Such a provision is not unique to the 2015 "Cromnibus" spending bill, in fact it's identical to those "Too Big to Fail" provisions which lead to the 2008 financial crisis.

GE Top Load Banging Drum
Model Number: WBSE2090A0WW Brand: GE Age: 5 - 10 years
Hey guys, I have a GE top load washer that has a very loud banging noise during the spin cyle. Aside from the noise it functions properly. The washer is level, and it does not move around when it makes the noise. The drum seems to be centered and not drooping on one side, so from reading I do not think it is the suspension rods. When I move the drum around it is heavy and I can hear the water swooshing, so I do not suspect the Balance Ring either. When I stand facing the washer I get good resistance when moving the tub forward and backward, but it seems to move easily left to right and I can easily get the drum to hit the sides of the machine. I have not had this thing apart yet. What do I need to inspect with the cover off to diagnose the issue? Or do you guys tell what it is already? This is the parts breakdown.

Check for broken tub dampening straps at the top of the tub. You can either feel for them from under the lid, over top of the tub, one in each corner or take the front panel off where you can see them from below. If broken, you have to remove the top panel to replace them.

I would just open the front panel and then you'll be able to see the straps and reach up there and pull on them to see if any are broken. If they are ok, run the washer in spin with the front panel removed so you can try and see and hear where the banging is coming from.

Sooo now that I finally had the time to look at this the "banging during spin" that my wife told me was actually a noise during the agitate session. It did sound like a loud banging. What it actually was though was where the "shocks" attatch to the top ie hang through there is a plastic washer that comes in contact with the plastic tip on the end of the shock that keeps it held up. These had gotten very dry (washer is pretty old) and the friction was causing really loud noise when they rotated back and forth as the drum moved around during the agitate session. Threw some silicone lube on all four and it is right as rain.
The rubber bungees seem very loose and the shocks somewhat loose as well though. How much play is there supposed to be in the drum? Do these need to be replaced periodically or are they pretty much great unless they are in pieces? |

I purchased this chandelier to go in my new home since I am updating all the fixtures and lighting. I use this in the kitchenette area and it's perfect. I was a little concerned with the white dome making the light look too bright but it worked out perfect since I used soft white CFL bulbs. I had a handyman install it since I have no skills in that area and it took him only about an hour. Highly recommend and the price is great compared to the prices as the home improvement stores. A similar chandelier there would be twice the price. You'll love it!
We ordereed 3 of these lights for our foyer. They are beautiful. They look very expensive. I do understand what people are talking about with them being fragile. The prongs that hold the bowl do not actually screw into the bowl at all, so the bowl just rests in there. They are very nice and well worth the inexpensive price!
looks great but not fun to install. First if you plan to do a flush mount instead of using some links of chain that are provided this is not the light for you. The wires on the mount have to be threaded up the core of the suspension bolt, making it very hard to thread with little cord. Additionally the downward sloping curved metal pieces that hold the glass only have one bolt at the top, which means it can pivot, pivot too far and your glass comes down do not put in a place where it can get bumped or walked into. Again looks great but flimsy construction, and the flush mount install was a bear. Packing was great though, came in a form fitted styrofoam case very nice to assure no breakage
If you want understated, and simplicity, this is it. Quite fragile. Not for the "rugged use" rooms! Packaging excellent. Instructions, very good. Quality--a little on the "light" side. But all in all, quite nice for the money.
This light fixture now hangs above our dining room table. We are very pleased with it! It arrived packaged well and took about 40 minutes to assemble and install. It gives the room an updated contemporary look that we were trying to achieve. The only thing we are not pleased with are the four 'arms' that hold the dome are difficult to tighten completely. If we ever have an earthquake, I will NOT be in the dining room because that thing will surely fall. But for regualar use, it is just fine.
This Chandelier is elegant, yet simple. It was easy to install and is very sturdy and looks great! I would buy again if we move!
The Perfect addition to any dining area. Sufficient light, simplicity & beauty. Easy to assemble.
It's beautiful and elegant for the dinning room
This is a great light fixture, nearly identical to a designer brand fixture at 3 times the price (only 1.5 inches smaller in diameter). Very handsome, with simple, clean lines. Easy to install. Great light. Would buy again.
This is a pretty chandelier. The bowl is plastic, not glass. Probably safer that way. We found it hard to put together.

Veteran Josh Hayes took home his third consecutive AMA Pro National Guard Superbike title in Florida this weekend. Hayes went out in tricky conditions on the Homestead-Miami Speedway and took home the win.
According to Cycle News, the track was a bit damp and still drying at the onset of the race. This made things difficult for riders, who faced a tough pre-race decision over which motorcycle tires to use. Cautious riding marked the beginning of the race, as riders who chose tire combinations designed for a wet track took an early lead. As the raceway continued to dry out, Hayes stormed ahead and ended up taking a decisive victory.
"It's been a pretty incredible year," Hayes said to SpeedTV. "Every single race win feels so good. And if you get those the way that you want to, the championship kind of takes care of itself. Fortunately, I've been able to do that and we're going to continue doing it for as long as we can into the future."
Homestead was the site for Hayes' 30th career victory, which capped off a big season for the 37-year-old. He finishes over 100 points ahead of his next closest competitor, Blake Young. Young opted not to start the first Miami race due to the track conditions, which gave Hayes the win even before the motorsports event kicked off.
