Tall, sturdy cat tree! Exactly what we needed for our 4 cat household. It is large (taller than I am!) and very sturdy- the cats range from 10-15lbs and all of them climb it regularly. The carpet covering appears to be holding up well several months later. It arrived fully assembled in a GIANT box (free shipping!) and was essentially hassle free- we just had to carry it to the desired location and let the cats investigate. I would certainly recommend this item. I searched long and hard for a cat tree that could stand up to heavy use by four large and energetic felines, and this fits the bill.

It is very sturdy. my very large large cat can on and off without any teetering. and the best part- IT COMES FULLY PUT TOGETHER!. the price about 20-25% less on overstock than what you would buy for a cat tower from petco, which is not put together.

I gave it 5 stars because they didn't have 10! I allowed my cat to go to the back yard. Sadly she was hit by a car, so when I got 2 himalayians there was no possibility I would allow any outdoor time. My guilt was killing me, but the fear of losing one of them made me firm. No outside! This took away the guilt. They it is by the patio window, and they immediatly started climbing and have gazed over there kingdom from a safe perch inside. I love it!

HUSBAND IMPRESSED I spent the last two months researching online and checking pet stores for the best cat condo I could find. This product was the best quality at an outstanding price. My husband keeps looking at it and telling me how impressed he is with it. In the beginning of my "quest" for the best cat tree/condo, he thought I was a bit obsessed and spending too much time on it ; now he understands. Our 4 cats are in heaven and are on it for the most part of every day and night. They run, play, climb, and sleep on it. It is EXTREMELY sturdy and of very high quality . The size of the tube , house, and platforms is very generous. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!

Cat condo playstation My three cats love this cat condo. Plenty of room for all of them. Very well constructed. They can jump off and it doesn't tip over. I prefer the carpet covering to fabric it is more durable.

Questions & Answers
Great pricing/free shipping, color, read the reviews :)
I choose this product because it does not need assembly.
Carpet, not fleece, covers the surface. The base is smaller and weighted.
Is this sturdy enough to support a 20 lb Bengal cat jumping off and on the top tower? Previous condos have become wobbly and broke after only a few months use because of this weight.
Hello markb1113, we can appreciate the fact you want a firsthand account of the product. You will receive an email notification every time you get a response. Thank you for shopping with us.
Who is the manufacturer? Is this handmade in the USA?
Hello crosshaven3, we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. This item was made in the U.S.A. Thank you for shopping with us! l.b.
Hello crosshaven3, we are unable to disclose the manufacturer of some of our products; however, Overstock.com stands behind every product we sell. When necessary we can contact suppliers if a product issue arises. This product is made in the USA. Thank you for shopping with us.
can this furniture be built without the top half-circle perch?
Thank you for your inquiry, jules0h. This item comes fully assembled and comes with the half circle perch on top. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you for shopping with us.
1. What are the tubes./ crows nest made of? Wood or cardboard? 2. Is assembly required? Product details say "No." Overstock customer service says "Yes."
Hi nohoharry, we were able to verify this information with our support team. This unit uses thick wall sauna tubes or concrete casting for all are tubes. This product comes full assembled. No assembly required. We hope that clears things up. Thanks for shopping with us.
The tubes are made of that heavy duty cardboard like material. But no issue with wobbling. Still very sturdy! And it comes fully assembled!
Did anyone have delivery problems with this? Overstock claims it has shipped via UPS, but UPS has no record of it. Has anyone else run into this type of problem with this item?
We apologize for the delay in answering your question. We can see that you are being helped by a customer service representative. Please feel free to contact us in the future with any questions or concerns and we will do everything we can to assist you. Thank you for shopping with us.
Sometimes it takes a day or two before UPS shows it in thier system. Only took a week to ship for me. No issues.
I didn't have any problems. Overstock has been a great company to work with in my dealings with them.
Is this stable sitting on carpet?
Hello, hhinpvb. This has a heavy, sturdy base, and customers have reported that it remains stable even on carpet. Thank you for shopping with us, and have a great day!
Yes! No issues. Only wobbles a bit if my heavy cat jumps off the top two areas.
No issues at all!
Ours is on laminate, but the edges of the base have carpet on them which would give them some traction on carpet. Suspect it would do fine on carpet.
Mine is half way on carpet/half on tile. I have 8 cats -- so far no wobbling--VERY heavy--so glad it was delivered to the door.
It says it's solid wood. Are all components wood; or are the tubes heavy cardboard like most trees?
The base & posts are solid wood - the tubes are lighter but still very sturdy for my very rambunctious boys
The tubes are the heavy carboard like material. but very sturdy and well made.
What is the height of each level from the floor?
Hello, poopydo1. Hope your day is going well. Unfortunately, this information is unavailable. We apologize. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Without measuring I would guess the bottom shelf is about 16" or so from the ground and the additional shelves around 15-16" apart.
Is the condo itself accessible by a hole through it's bottom? Meaning, if a cat were on the lowest perch, could it gain access without having to climb around to square hole shown in front? Thanks!
No, they have to climb around. That cubbie is a secure little hut to hang out in.
The only hole is the one shown. My cat does just fine without any tunnels
No, there is no hole in the bottom, but that is not a problem for the cats. There is a ledge in front of the "house" and they just jump up to the next perch from there. Mine all go up and down it with no problem.
No. The cat has to climb out to get inside the condo. And it's a great agility exercise. Mine do not hesitate to climb in.
Can cats reach the top level from a lower level of the condo, or does there need to be furniture nearby?
They can reach the top from the lower levels.
Trust me, they have no problem getting to the top all on their own!
How many of the posts are covered in sisal? Other sites with the same product are charging extra if you want _any_ of the posts to be sisal covered.
Two of the posts are covered with sisal.
What is the height of the lower perch?
The lower perch is roughly 1 foot high.
self assembly?
Yes, this item has self assembly required.
What are the dimensions of the 2 perches? Thank you.
I do show that the dimensions are as follows: The overall measurements are 20 x 20 x 72 high The bottom perch is 9 x 15 The center house is 16 round x 12 high The middle perch is 9 x 15 The top round circle is 18 long and 12 round The top perch is 1/2 of a 12 x 18 round I hope this helps.

Signs Your Kitty Needs a Cat Condo
A cat condo is a piece of furniture designed especially for your cat. These tall, sturdy structures (sometimes called cat trees) offer cats a place to play, scratch, perch, or sleep. While some cat owners may not feel like a cat condo is a necessary purchase, others know that some cats are much happier when they have their own space to stake out and claim -- space that will prevent the cat from damaging household furniture. If you're not sure whether to buy one, watch for these cat behaviors to see if your cat could use a cat condo.
How to Choose a Cat Tree for Your Kitty
Sometimes called cat towers, cat trees are built to give your cat a place to scratch, rest, play, and perch. Cats are protective of their territory, and giving them a place of their own that's above everything else makes them happy. A cat tree can also keep them from scratching up or taking over your furniture. Here's how to choose the best cat tower for your kitty.
How to Buy Cat Furniture for Your New Cat
You'll need plenty of cat supplies to keep a new kitty happy. Your cat will need a place to scratch, sleep, and play, and cat furniture is the perfect solution for all of these things. With plenty of options available, it may be hard to know which cat furniture is best for your furry friend. These tips can help you shop for the best cat furniture for your new pet.
How to Clean Cat Furniture
Cats love having their own special place to sleep, play, and observe the comings and goings of the people around them. If that place is a cat tree with a high perch, a cozy hole, and a toy or two, so much the better. The distinctive design of cat furniture can make it somewhat difficult to clean. Still, it is important to keep your cat happy and healthy by keeping his cat supplies as clean as possible.
Best Places for a Cat Tree
If your cat needs a place to relax and play, a cat tree is the perfect choice. Cats love to climb up to high places; it makes them feel safe, comfortable, and in charge of their surroundings. With a cat tree, you can give your kitty a place to lounge, climb, scratch, and hide. If you have a cat tree or are looking to purchase one but don't know where to put in your home, keep reading to get some good ideas. If you have multiple cats, you may want to put cat trees in more than one of these spots.
Best Cat Furniture
Show your kitty how much you care with cat furniture that is just for her. Kitties need places to lounge and get exercise to be comfortable and happy in your home. To determine which pieces are best for your cat, take note of where she likes to be in your home and how she prefers to play.
How to Choose a Scratching Post for Your Cat
Cats have a natural urge to scratch. It helps them stretch and relax while simultaneously shedding old claw sheaths and sharpening new claws. If you don't buy your cat a scratching post, chances are that he'll turn to your furniture or carpet to satisfy his urge to scratch. Buying a scratching post your cat is sure to use isn't a simple task, however. Every cat prefers something different, so finding the right post for your pet is important. Here are some of the factors that go into choosing the right one.
How to Fit a Cat Harness
If you would like to take your cat on walks, you'll need a cat harness, as cats can quickly learn to escape standard leashes. A properly fitted cat harness is safe and comfortable for your cat and, at the same time, gives you more control of his movements. Here are some helpful tips on fitting a cat harness on your cat and some pointers on training a cat to go on walks.
Top 5 Places to Put Cat Beds
Cats sleep twice as much as humans, and kittens sleep even more. Luckily, cat beds are a great option for cat owners who want to help their kitty get the best rest possible. Like humans, cats need plenty of rest, and disrupted or lack of sleep can be detrimental to your cat's health. Finding the right place to put those pet beds is important. It can be hard to get a cat to curl up in her new kitty bed, but these tips can help you find just the right place for your kitty to sleep.

From food to beds, litter boxes to toys, a number of cat products will help keep your kitty happy and healthy in your home. This list of essential cat supplies can help you determine what you need to buy before adopting your new furry friend.
Best Pet Beds for Your Pet
When you bring a new pet home, you'll want to give him a cozy pet bed to curl up in at the end of the day. Pet beds come in different sizes and shapes for different types and sizes of pets. Most popular for dogs and cats, pet beds give you a good way to keep your furry friend from sleeping on your furniture. It's important to choose pet supplies that meet your pet's needs. The pet bed you choose should provide support, security, and comfort for your dog or cat, so choose one that is right for your pet's sleeping habits and for his breed.

How to Select Cat Supplies

This guide can help you navigate the world of cat products, so you can buy exactly what your cat needs.
How to Make Cat Cages Comfortable for Cats
When you need to put your cat in a cat cage, you want to make sure she's as comfortable as possible in there. Pet cages can be cold, hard, and lonely for kitties, but with the right preparations, cat carriers can actually become cozy. Whether you're taking her to the vet in a kennel, flying with her on an airplane, or keeping her sequestered while allergic guests are in the house, helping your cat feel comfortable will make things easier for both of you.
How to Train Your Cat to Use a Litter Box
If you train your cat to use a litter box from the time he's a kitten, it is less likely that your cat will have accidents later on. However, how do you train an adult cat to use a litter box if he's never used one before? Also, what do you do if your litter-box trained cat suddenly begins to have accidents in other parts of your home? Here are some pointers on how to train a kitten or retrain your adult cat to use a litter box as well as a few suggestions for cat supplies that will help you address the possible underlying causes of inappropriate elimination.
Cat's Eye Jewelry Fact Sheet
Stories of cat's eye gemstones hearken back to antiquity. The gem intrigues and entrances with its casual wink. Sometimes confused with other stones, true cat's eye is fairly rare. Cat's eye is chatoyant, possessing an iridescence that changes the way the stone appears as the viewer's perspective shifts. Peices of cat's eye jewelry, such as cat's eye rings, bracelets and necklaces are beautiful additions to any outfit.
Cat Grooming Tips
Cat grooming can be a challenge for first-time pet owners and veteran cat owners alike. However, pet grooming is important for any furry companion's overall health and also gives you an excuse to spend quality time with your beloved pet.

Before you adopt a furry friend of your own, however, you'll need to get a few cat supplies to help you take care of your new kitty.
Vacation Care Tips for Your Cat
You've been planning your vacation all year, but your cat may not be as excited as you are to have you away from home.

Burley: Riordan has work to do
The Hibernian forward's impressive performances have earned him a recall to the national team squad for their friendly in Japan on October 10.
Riordan's only previous cap was against Austria back in 2005 and, while admitting the player deserves another chance, Burley says he still has to prove himself at international level.
"Being a proven goalscorer in the SPL could mean nothing," he said. "We are talking about international football, we are talking about playing against the best players in the world.
"So I can't afford to have players that I'm going to carry, he's got to be a team player as well.
"If he does well in training and has the right attitude, he might get the opportunity.
"He deserves to be in the squad for what he has done this season, which is great, and hopefully he can follow that on."
He added: "Derek's got phenomenal talent and maybe he hasn't made the most of that over the years.
"He's got to realise you don't get into national squads by just scoring a few goals, you've got to be a team player.
"Hopefully with Derek the penny has dropped and he will utilise that ability.
"We have given him the opportunity. There are other talented players there but he deserves it and hopefully he realises there is more to football than just scoring goals, you have to work as a team."

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writer's Weekly Calendar 2004 | |||||
edited by Karen J. Gould | |||||
Writer's Week, 126 pages | |||||
A review by Charlene Brusso
Each week is accompanied by quotes from various SF and fantasy authors -- quotes about not just writing, but editing,
submitting, marketing and selling short stories and novels. Julie Czerneda gives some friendly advice on Getting Started
with your project. Victoria Strauss talks about World Building, and Lawrence Watt-Evans gives pithy suggestions for
dealing with those pesky Second Drafts.
There are "First Sale Stories" from Jay Caselberg (Wyrmhole, Roc, Oct 2003) and Diana Pharaoh Francis (Path
of Fate, Roc, Nov 2003). Perhaps best of all, for writers who need that extra kick in the pants to get going, there
are "Snippets" from 25 different works, from Esther M. Friesner's "Ilion" to Elizabeth Moon's The Speed of Dark,
from Anne's Harris' Inventing Memory to Laura Anne Gilman's Staying Dead.
Website and SFF.net forum information is included in a list in the back for each contributing author. So are the
websites of many publishers; and a special list includes the Editor's Pick: Top 20 sites for SF/F/H, with everything
from market listings like Ralan's Webstravaganza and Spicy Green Iquana to Holly Lisle's Forward Motion, SFWA, and
the SF Site.
But the best item of all might just be the smallest item in the calendar: each day of the week has a little blank
space labeled "words/pages written today". Yes, you could just keep track of that on any old calendar, but some of
us -- and we all know who we are, don't we? -- could use a little prompting from time to time. Think of it as a
small guilt trip, one for which you didn't even have to talk to your mother, or your writer's group.
Charlene's sixth grade teacher told her she would burn her eyes out before she was 30 if she kept reading and writing so much. Fortunately he was wrong. Her work has also appeared in Aboriginal SF, Amazing Stories, Dark Regions, MZB's Fantasy Magazine, and other genre magazines. |

The Independent Florida Alligator
Type | Weekday newspaper |
Format | compact |
Owner(s) | Campus Communications Inc. |
Publisher | Campus Communications, Inc. |
Editor | Kristan Wiggins |
Managing editors | Colleen Wright Bakr Saliq |
Sports editor | Jordan McPherson |
Founded | 1906 1971 (as independent paper) |
Headquarters | Gainesville, Florida |
Website | www.alligator.org |
The Independent Florida Alligator is the daily student newspaper of the University of Florida. The Alligator is the largest student-run newspaper in the United States, with a daily circulation of 35,000 and readership of over 52,000.[1] It is an affiliate of UWIRE,[2] which distributes and promotes its content to their network.
The paper prints every weekday during the spring and fall semesters (mid-August to early May) and on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the summer semesters. The Alligator has been financially and editorially independent from the university since 1973. The Alligator has been owned by non-profit, student-controlled 501(c)(3) Campus Communications Inc. since its independence. Students from both UF and Santa Fe College, also located in the city of Gainesville, Florida, are allowed to work at the paper. Only college students are allowed to work in the editorial department or be advertising representatives or interns.[3]
The Alligator is distributed free on campus and around the city of Gainesville, Florida, and contains a mix of campus and local news coverage, as well as national and international stories from wire services. It also contains a sports section that begins from the back of the tabloid-format paper, and an entertainment section ("The Avenue") published every Thursday. The Alligator prints on 11 x 14 inch paper, somewhat smaller than a tabloid size, closer in size to the compact format of The Times of London and the Chicago Sun-Times.
Early history[edit]
The Alligator began as an independent student-run newspaper called The University News, on October 19, 1906. The paper came together in time to report on the University of Florida's opening ceremony in its new permanent home in Gainesville. Much of the first issue was devoted to reprinting word-for-word the farewell speech given by then-Florida Governor Napoleon B. Broward.
The Alligator remained independent until 1912, when it became part of the university and was renamed the Florida Alligator after the university's mascot, the Florida Gators.
For the next six decades, the paper was supervised by the Office of Student Publications, which was also responsible for the university's Seminole yearbook (later renamed The Tower), Florida Magazine, the Orange Peel humor magazine, and other recurring publications. Alligator staffers often worked on several of these at the same time. (None of the other publications still exist.) The Alligator also had a radio news show on campus station WRUF for many years.
Until the 1950s, the editor-in-chief was chosen by the student body in campus-wide elections, similar to student government. Candidates slated to political parties, published campaign ads, and debated each other not unlike today. The editor was roughly on the same level of prestige as the student body president, and various fraternities controlled the newspaper at one time or other.
By the early 1960s, the rapid post-World War II growth of the university, which had started with the G.I. Bill and continued with the decision to admit women in 1947 and to admit blacks in 1958 caused The Alligator to grow. The newspaper printed in broadsheet until 1962 (except during World War II, when paper was in short supply). In 1962, the paper switched to the smaller tabloid format, which it still uses today. Around this time, The Alligator was one of the first college newspapers in the nation to switch from hot type printing to the more modern offset standard. The same year, the paper switched from twice-weekly printing to its current daily format.[4]
In 1963, Ed Barber started working at The Alligator, as a student writer. By 1972 he became general manager of the paper.
Barber left the paper in 1973 to become Director of Publications for the University of Florida, but returned as general manager in 1976 and became president of Campus Communications, Inc., the student-owned 501(c)(3) organization that publishes The Alligator. Barber now holds the title of president emeritus of The Alligator and is executive director of the Alligator Alumni Association. Patricia Carey, a veteran manager of the newspaper, succeeded Barber as general manager of The Alligator and president of Campus Communications.
Originally, the Office of Student Publications was located in the basement of the old Florida Union (today Dauer Hall), which was then the student union, in the north part of campus. In 1968 the paper moved into a new suite of offices on the third floor of the new union, the J. Wayne Reitz Union, directly adjacent to Student Government administrative offices. At least one of The Alligator former offices is now occupied by Florida Blue Key.
Events leading to independence[edit]
The tumult of the late 1960s featured the resignation of editors who disagreed with an editorial denouncing the university's public tenure hearing for Marshall Jones, a professor who was accused of being a communist by the university administration. He was forced from the university. The university's crowded public hearing on Jones was denounced in Florida newspapers as reminiscent of the McCarthyist Red Scare of the 1950s. The editorial, written after the first hearing by journalism student and reporter Michael Abrams (who later became a journalism professor), was censored by the University's Board of Student Publications, and a blank space with the word "Censored" run in its place. Several of the student editors of the newspaper resigned over what they saw as the tone of the editorial and its anti-administration bent.
A national controversy ensued. Columnist Drew Pearson came to campus and gave strong support to the remaining staff. Editor Steve Hull, who also remained, assembled a new set of student editors. Throughout this time, the School of Journalism and Communications won a series of Hearst Journalism Awards, and many Alligator reporters and editors ultimately became well known in their professions.
The newspaper continued to do investigative reporting including stories about low wages paid to maintenance employees. It was during this time the newspaper was awarded the Pacemaker award as the best college paper in the nation. Among the key writers of the Alligator at the time were James Cook, later an attorney, who wrote the "Uncle Javerneck" column, and Joe Torchia, later a novelist, who intercepted humorous letters from "God" to various people, sparking an uproar among some religious readers.
Many copies of the final edition of the newspaper, with its somewhat racy collage of farewell pictures including the university president in a less than auspicious pose, were seized by those who supported the university administration.
Controversy ensued with a new set of editors being selected by the board, and an off-campus newspaper, University Report, published by Hull, Abrams, and Scott DeGarmo, a master's student in history. The paper exposed spying on students by government officials and law enforcement agents and was an outspoken critic of the administration of Stephen C. O'Connell, the former Florida Supreme Court justice and University President. One of its stories told of a government agent "Palmer Wee" who was apparently hired to watch radical students. The headline read "Wee is watching you." The paper printed several issues and was typeset on an old typesetting machine that was somewhat larger than a typewriter and sat on a living room floor. It was published out of town, as at least one local printer refused to print it.
The university administration continued to simmer over radical editors. In late 1971, editor Ron Sachs approved an insert to be published in The Alligator that printed the addresses of known abortion clinics. At the time, not only was abortion illegal in Florida, but even the printing of abortion information violated state law. The insert, a deliberate challenge by Sachs in protest of laws against abortion, threw the university into a firestorm. Both Sachs and university president Stephen C. O'Connell faced intense public pressure. When O'Connell discovered that Sachs was protected by federal First Amendment case law, he started working to disavow any connection between the university and The Alligator.
To defuse the hostile situation, Florida Attorney General Robert Shevin ruled that to protect students' First Amendment rights, the university and The Alligator should split. At the time, O'Connell declared that never again would UF sponsor a student newspaper on campus. As a further compromise agreement between the university and the newspaper's staff, the students were allowed to take The Alligator private and off campus. Sachs' challenge of the abortion law was successful; his criminal prosecution ended when the law was declared unconstitutional. Sachs later won an Emmy Award as a television producer in Miami, for his documentary Cocaine: The Lady is a Killer.
History after independence[edit]
The newspaper changed its name to The Independent Florida Alligator and took several years to find a permanent home. New owners Campus Communications moved in 1981 to the former Tau Epsilon Phi fraternity house two blocks east of campus on University Avenue, its current location.
Alligator writers and photographers won a dozen Hearst Awards during the period 1971 to 1979, a period when the paper also won several awards from the Associated Collegiate Press and the Society of Professional Journalists. Until the mid-1990s, Alligator alumni had won more Hearst writing and photo awards than any other student newspaper. (It now ranks second behind the Daily Northwestern of Northwestern University).
The Alligator also was one of the first college papers on the Internet, hosting a bulletin board system as early as 1985 and a website beginning in 1994.
In 1990, Campus Communications bought the High Springs Herald, the weekly newspaper of High Springs, Florida, about 30 miles outside the university. The High Springs Herald was sold in February 2009 to Ronald Dupont Jr.
Current and recent editors[edit]

Sponsored rivals[edit]
Since Stephen C. O'Connell stepped down as UF president in 1973, several rivals to The Alligator have set up shop. Most of these publications were started or actively encouraged by the university Student Government.
One notable contender was Campus Leader, a monthly alternative newspaper started in 1983. Sponsored by Student Government and edited by W.H. "Butch" Oxendine, Jr., it lasted somewhat less than a year as a direct competitor. Losing his sponsorship, Oxendine changed the magazine's focus, limiting it to students and education and renaming it Florida Leader. The paper printed until 2006.
Another rival was The Orange and Blue, a twice-weekly newspaper in operation from August 1999 to July 2002. The Orange and Blue was similar in format to and was started by the publishers of, FSView, a student newspaper at Florida State University in Tallahassee that won a long-running battle with a rival FSU newspaper, the Florida Flambeau.
In 2000, confusion with a university publication also called The Orange and Blue led the newspaper to change its name to The Gator Times. Although Student Government leaders quickly supported the new paper, the Times did not survive. (The name Gator Times is also used by the administration as the title of its email newsletter and in promotional material).
In recent years, Student Government has started readership programs with larger commercial newspapers such as The New York Times and USA Today. The Gainesville Sun, the local city newspaper owned by The New York Times Company, also made an agreement with the university for a similar program in June 2005. To seal the agreement, the Sun started its own campus edition called the Campus Sun, ostensibly to compete with The Alligator.

A co-worker with breast cancer in remission recommended this product to me. Her Naturopathic doctor actually works with Olympian Labs in formulating some of their products for cancer patients. iHerb.com offers this product at a very good price, compared to its retail cost. The potency per capsule of this product compared to other, cheaper brands is exceptional which is why we stuck with it for my mom who has pancreatic cancer. Our Naturopathic doctor made it part of my mom's immune strengthening protocol. It goes down quite easily and has never upset her stomach. I cannot give it five stars at this time because my mom is currently recovering her strength from chemo treatments and has been off chemo for almost 2 months. We don't know how well it will mix with chemotherapy at this time even though that may be an unfair expectation in rating it. All things considered, she is doing quite well on an array of natural products of which OL's AHCC caps is but one of several very important ingredients.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's girlfriend loves Saranac Lake.
Food Network star Sandra Lee told US Magazine this week that Saranac Lake is among her favorite vacation destinations
Lee also enjoys visiting the Italian island of Capri. She lives with Cuomo, who has said in the past he enjoys visiting the Adirondacks - especially Saranac Lake.
Never one to miss out on an opportunity to promote the village, Saranac Lake Mayor Clyde Rabideau says it's an honor to be recognized by Sandra Lee.
"She obviously is very perceptive and has tremendous taste," he said.
Rabideau led the charge to brand Saranac Lake as the capital of the Adirondacks, and also helped spur the launch of several new community events - including the upcoming Daffest, scheduled for May.
According to Rabideau, Lee has stated that the daffodil is her favorite flower. So naturally, Rabideau is inviting Lee and the governor to attend Daffest.
"She can even bring Andrew along - if she wants to - and we'll find something for him to preside over too," he said.

understandable,thinking about the pass rush
? Not letting his route develop because he's thinking about the pass rush is understandable? You just describe the hallmark of a bad QB with that statement. Not letting the route develop and throwing a pick 6 because there was a lineman in his grill is at least more understandable. But throwing a pick 6 on a play your TE AND RB stayed back to help protect against a 4 man rush is not understandable. If there was a play to take that extra time to make an intelligent read and throw IT was that play!
What good is a QB in this league if he can't distinguish good protection versus bad protection? Unbelievable. In our 10 years of existence we have yet to acquire a QB with decent pocket-instinct and awareness.

Mississauga, Ontario (PRWEB) February 28, 2014
A key concern of many home owners looking to sell a home is the exposure that their home will receive. The key with real estate is simple. The more people that see the homes for sale, the better the deal will be in the end for the home sellers. More importantly however is to ensure that the maximum number of people who see the property are actually qualified and motivated home buyers.
The best way to get maximum exposure of a home for sale is through the use of MLS Listings.
MLS is a co-operative marketing system that maximizes exposure of properties for sale. Most homes that are sold within the Greater Toronto Area, and most of Canada for that matter, are sold via MLS systems, which are operated by various real estate boards across the country. MLS consists of a sophisticated computer database of properties that are indexed by a number of factors, including price, location, type of home, number of bedrooms, etc. Fundamentally speaking, MLS contains a registry of properties that are used by realtors to match buyers with homes for sale.
However, simply listing a home on MLS only goes so far. The key is to utilize MLS so that full benefits are attained by the home seller.
The first benefit of MLS is that MLS Listings allow realtors to use their skills to the fullest.
A realtor's job is to simply determine potential buyers 'needs' and 'wants' in a potential home, and then connect that home buyer with the 'right' potential home. Basically, the realtor is there to find properties that meet the home buyer's needs. With the use of MLS, the realtor can quickly search the database for homes with specific 'needs' and 'wants' that the home buyer is looking for, and put together a short list of suitable homes. This means that the realtor doesn't have to waste the time of the homebuyer by looking at homes that don't meet their standards, but rather only show homes to the home buyer that meet the home buyer's specifications for a potential future home.
The second key benefit is that MLS helps home sellers not only sell their homes within a shorter time span, but also to qualified buyers.
When it comes to the home seller, MLS Listings are equally as important, if not more. The main obstacle a home seller encounters is finding a qualified, motivated home buyer. MLS overcomes this obstacle by matching the home for sale with the requirements laid out by a potential home buyer. MLS cuts through the various complexities associated with selling a home by linking the 'right' homes with the 'right' people. It exposes homes for sale to those most likely to purchase them, thus ensuring that no time is wasted on the home buyer's end, nor the home seller's end, and fully utilizing the capabilities of the realtor who is there throughout the entire process.
Search Realty highly recommends that when the decision comes to sell a home, the home seller lists the home on MLS, as MLS will ensure wide exposure of the home for sale to not only the maximum number of people possible, but more importantly, to a broad range of both interested and qualified home buyers.

Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman -- quite the stylistically diverse cast, isn't it?
Those four stars are the driving force behind Peter Berg's new movie "The Kingdom," which does a good job of wedging complicated political themes into a smash-bang procedural action-thriller. The aforementioned cast members play FBI agents who trek to Saudi Arabia to investigate the brutal suicide-bombing of a camp full of American civilians. I've seen an early screening of the movie, and it's quite good, with unexpectedly funny and touching moments.Now, how stinky would it be for me to tease you with that fact, and not offer you a chance to see "The Kingdom," too? Well, here's what I have to offer: Twenty-five (25) passes (worth two tickets each) to a sneak preview. How do you get one? Easy:
1. Send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with "The Kingdom" in the subject line.
2. Your e-mail MUST CONTAIN: Your name, complete mailing address, age and daytime phone (and cell phone, if possible). If you don't include all of this information, you will not be eligible to win. Please, just one entry per e-mail address. The movie is rated R.
3. The deadline for entries is 10 a.m. Sept. 24.
4. I'll randomly select 25 people to receive one pass (reminder: each pass is redeemable for two tickets). Winners will be notified by e-mail Sept. 24. You will be able to pick up your passes at the theater, just prior to the movie.
5. Questions? Just e-mail me at email@example.com.
Good luck!

Top U.S. Beauty Shops
Where do you shop for your skincare products? I did an informal Facebook poll recently and the majority of the respondents said that drugstores and department stores are their retailers of choice. And for good reason: they have unbelievable selections. Whether you're searching for travel-sized products for your next trip or seeking out new shops while on the go, you won't go wrong with these stateside beauty shopping picks.
Basics from Coast to Coast
CVS and Beauty 360 Since you don't always have to pay a lot to get great results, I've always been a big fan of drugstore-based skincare, and the Beauty 360 brand at select CVS stores breathes new life into the shopping experience. There are currently 25 outposts in California, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. where you'll find a sleek, modern décor and trained consultants who know their stuff, plus luxury brands like Dead Sea-inspired Ahava, B. Kamins, and no-nonsense Mario Badescu. All Beauty 360 stores are adjacent to traditional CVS stores, where you can stock up on my beloved RoC and CeraVe. See their site. Target We all love Target for affordable basics, but when was the last time you took a spin through the skincare and cosmetics department? The shelves are packed with wallet-friendly lines from some of the beauty industry's heaviest hitters, including celebrity makeup artists Jemma Kidd and Napoleon Perdis. You'll also find all your favorite "mass" skincare lines like Aveeno, plus Target exclusives from U.K.-based Boots, all-natural Lavera, and Target's in-house brand, up & up (their sunscreens can't be beat). See their site. Ulta For more of a department-store feel without losing sight of the bottom line, Ulta is ideal for a beauty fix. Budget-friendly names you know sit beside prestige favorites, and the selection is unparalleled. And in addition to skincare and makeup, the fragrance and haircare departments are overflowing with the latest and greatest. Their in-house line of cosmetics and makeup tools are fabulous as well. See their site.New York City Favorites
Clyde's If you've ever wondered how those New York City socialites get such amazing skin, their secret is probably a fantastic dermatologist and regular trips to Clyde's. The aisles of this high-end pharmacy are packed with high-end offerings like Clarins, Dior and Lancome, plus many European and indie brands that can be hard to find. The home and men's sections are perfect for gifting, with luxurious offerings from Roger & Gallet, Geo F. Trumper and more. See their site. Zitomer Not far from Clyde's you'll find Zitomer, which is an upscale shopping paradise for the beauty minded. Aside from the unbelievable variety of skincare and makeup from off-the-beaten path brands like Kneipp, Japan's Yu-Be, cult favorite Model Co., and much, much more, Zitomer may just have the best selection of hair accessories I've ever seen—so I stock up to protect my hair from drying plane air when I fly. See their site. C.O. Bigelow Downtown New Yorkers have been shopping for their beauty needs at this institution for the past 168 years, and you can, too! The throwback feel makes shopping a pleasure, and stocking your basket with both luxury and budget finds like beauty editor favorite Smith's Rosebud Salve, Marvis Classic Mint Toothpaste and Bigelow's own line—which can also be found at Bath & Body Works stores across the country—will fulfill all of your beauty needs. See their site.Unique Boutiques in Glamorous Locales
Brownes & Co. Being a Florida gal, Brownes & Co. is my go-to shop for all things beauty, and no trip to Miami is complete without popping into this swanky apothecary. (They have two locations, one on Lincoln Road and one in the Design District.) From smaller prestige lines like France's grape-based Caudalie and spa-inspired Elemis to favorites from serious skincare specialist Skinceuticals and countless names you may not of heard of before, these skincare and makeup experts do the prescreening for you so you're left to choose from the best of the best. See Fodor's review. Cos Bar For more than 25 years, Cos Bar owner Lily Garfield has been beautifying the skin of residents and visitors in enchanting locations like Aspen, Carmel, Charleston, Montecito, Sante Fe, Vail and beyond. No need to worry if you forget your favorite face cream or foundation when traveling to one of these locales, because Cos Bar is known for its well-edited selection from super-high-end brands like Chanel, ReVive, Cle de Peau, Amore Pacific, and more. See their site. Space NK For the girl who likes to be on the cutting-edge of beauty, look no further than Space NK. This was my home base when I was researching the UK edition of my book, since you can find all of the top British brands under one roof. This London-based export opened in New York in 2007, but now ladies from coast-to-coast can sample the offerings at Space NK outposts in larger Bloomingdale's stores. Filled mostly with names you don't know (yet), stock up on cutting-edge makeup from Ellis Faas and skincare from Aesop, the Asian export Wei, and more. See their site.Online Shops

Matthew Brown, Simon Winder, and Richard Szeliski
June 2005
This paper describes a novel multi-view matching framework based on a new type of invariant feature. Our features are located at Harris corners in discrete scale-space and oriented using a blurred local gradient. This defines a rotationally invariant frame in which we sample a feature descriptor, which consists of an 8 × 8 patch of bias/gain normalised intensity values. The density of features in the image is controlled using a novel adaptive non-maximal suppression algorithm, which gives a better spatial distribution of features than previous approaches. Matching is achieved using a fast nearest neighbour algorithm that indexes features based on their low frequency Haar wavelet coefficients. We also introduce a novel outlier rejection procedure that verifies a pairwise feature match based on a background distribution of incorrect feature matches. Feature matches are refined using RANSAC and used in an automatic 2D panorama stitcher that has been extensively
tested on hundreds of sample inputs.

Many of our financial institution clients have portfolios of lending outside the UK (be that residential or wholesale debt, consumer or wholesale lending). The success of our international team is based on close cooperation between our market-leading UK practice and colleagues throughout our global network. This enables us to carry out standard and complex recoveries involving international portfolios of assets in countries such as Spain, France, Romania and Ireland.
In the UK, where we service 20-25% of residential repossession litigation in England and Wales, we act for clearing and investment banks comprising 17 of the UK's top 20 lenders, as well as finance companies recovering business-to-business and asset-backed debt, such as motor vehicles.
We have broad experience in recovering assets in many different countries around the world. Our instructions cover prime and sub-prime books, first and second charge lenders; owner-occupied & buy to let.
We are active at every stage of the recoveries cycle, including defended and un-defended mortgage and debt litigation, LPA receiverships, sales in possession, title rectification and professional negligence.
The strength of our service lies in the openness of our approach. We work hard to build partnerships that drive up performance, manage risks and, above all, deliver what clients want.
We do this using bespoke teams with a single relationship manager to manage cases through each stage of the repossession or asset recovery cycle. We understand the need to deliver a service based on adherence to service levels, in a risk managed value for money way, whilst topping any "league tables" our client uses to measure panel performance.

definition of scratch built
There is an article in the latest AMA mag. that defines a scratch build as one where the builder is also the origional designer. If you build a model from someone elses plans, then the model is a "plans build" rather than a "scratch" build.
I allways thought that a scratch build was where you started from raw materials, and fabricated/purchased all the individual parts to build a model. Comments? |
I suppose from a strict accuracy-of-wording perspective, I can see where they're coming from. But I tend towards what bubbleman said: If I build it from raw materials - plans or not - it's a scratchbuild in my eyes.
As long as you are enjoying what you are doing , who cares about a definition !!
I started scratch building back when my radio was a Kraft. Scratch building has nothing to do with who designed it. That would be scratch designing.

Looking at another field: in cooking, making something from scratch means to make it from "raw" materials, regardless of whether it is your own recipe, or an another person's recipe. And certainly, in this forum, the distinction seems to be between foamie kits versus non-kits (taken from the forum headers): 1. Foamies (Scratchbuilt): A place for the homebuilders to discuss the RC foamies design and construction, and share the plans 2. Foamies (Kits): Discussion about commercially available ARF Foamie RC models |
As lake Flyer says; Who cares. Over here anyone using foam is considered a second class citizen and not a proper modeller anyway. At the club I belong to, they laugh at my toys.
Funny really as I turn up with 4 of 5 planes all of which I've built myself. Then proceed to fly pack after pack non stop for a couple of hours while they all stand around shaking their heads fiddling with their latest 'ready built' that cost a months wages with a glow engine that refuses to run. It used to get to me, but who leaves the field with the biggest grin? |

I don't reply much, too busy building
but this one insults me as well as all of you the plane below is a scatchbuilt,but I used pics and even plans to get started. So, even new desighns are copied from something.Even the Wright brothers copied birds. I believe who made that statement, was jealous they couldn't glue 2 sticks together without a picture telling them how. If you can read a plan and build it you are a scratchbuilder hope I didn't tick off the wrong people are there airplane secret police people that are coming to get me now? |
There's a difference between what words actually mean and what we would like them to mean. Scratch built means "built from scratch". And "scratch" means "without an advantage of any sort".
It comes from the world of handicap racing where the scratch mark was where the fastest runners started. Slower runners started from various marks in front of scratch. The scratch runners had to overcome the distance hadicaps to win the race. Still do in all sorts of handicap races. So in aeromodelling, scratch building means starting without a plan: designing the model yourself. Building from plans means just that: it's the next mark up from scratch. Building from a kit is the next. Building an ARTF is the next. Building an RTF is the next. Buying a complete model from ebay is the last. They are not judgements, they are just what the words mean. Without consistent meanings language is useless. Be happy that we have a great hobby, but don't pretend that you're a scratch runner if you start from one of the next marks up. |
I will certainly concede that I may be wrong about the term "scratch build," but I also confess I have never known it to mean one must build something with basic materials and designed it oneself. From what I recall, "scratchbuilding" in the model railroad world has meant building things from plans with raw materials (cutting / gluing / soldering the plastic / brass / etc. yourself) at least since I can remember (so that's going back to the 70's at a minimum). So in my mind, it has the same meaning in the R/C world, too. "Plans-built" seems to be a hair-splitting distinction, to me. |

For example, for a motor (listing from more advantaged to less advantaged): 1. having the motor come with a kit 2. buying the motor separately but pre-built 3. winding your own motor 4. drawing your own wire from copper, cutting your magnets and machining the rotating part, etc. 5. also making the magnetic material, refining the copper, steel, etc. from ore Plus steps in between and further on. My guess is that the AMA has a certain definition of "scratch-built" because that definition is part of a requirement for some competition. |
I'd say, in this forum, scratch built is from a sheet of foam. We all know who's the designer of the plans, and honor them by submitting pictures/input and what have you, in the proper thread.
Scratch built( for me ) is to build from raw material. It's not designing an aircraft. Designing an aircraft is "design", not build. That definition works for me(in my mind at least, since i'm not designing). So, scratch build, in this forum, is to start with a sheet of foam, using plans, and have something that flies(hopefully )in the end. As opposed to designing a plane, which for me is to draw blueprints |

We know him best from the Harold & Kumar movies and from the TV series House.
But Kal Penn took some time off from his acting career to work in The White House for the Obama administration as associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement.
So it was no big surprise to see him at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday night (4 September). During his appearance, he said 'my favorite job was having a boss who gave the order to take out Bin Laden, and who's cool with all of us getting gay-married.'
He then referenced Clint Eastwood's infamous Republican National Convention performance by adding: 'So thank you, invisible man in the chair for that.'

Burns to the airway can be caused by inhaling smoke, steam, superheated air, or toxic fumes, often in a poorly ventilated space. Airway burns can be very serious since the rapid swelling of burned tissue in the airway can quickly block the flow of air to the lungs.

New York City
this wiki
- See Also: New York's Expanded History
New York City is the largest city and largest metropolitan area, by population, in the United States. It is an international center for politics, theater, music, fashion, finance, and culture. New York City is classified as a global city, and houses the United Nations. The city is home to many landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, Chrysler Building, and Saint Patrick's Cathedral. The World Trade Center, also known as the Twin Towers, adorned the skyline until a terrorist attack on September 11th, 2001.
On the Earth-616, New York City is a superhero hub. Fantastic Four and Avengers headquarters are located within the city. Major heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil also operate in various neighborhoods. Many major attacks or events have occurred within the city limits including the coming of Galactus and Onslaught's siege.
Alternate Universes
On Earth-555, the September 11, 2001 attacks never happened and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center still stood in 2006.
New York City on Earth-1610 houses the Triskelion in lower Manhattan. The city is also home to a number "Ultimates", "mutants" and other super-powered beings. Similar to Earth-616, New York City is the home of the Ultimates, the Fantastic Four, as well as a a major hub for S.H.I.E.L.D..
Earth-2149 (New Wakanda)
Little is known about New York before the zombie contagion arrived there, though it can be presumed it followed much the same path as the New York of Earth-616.
The city was eventually destroyed when the uninfected, and zombified super-heroes battled for their lives, eventually leaving the city, and indeed the planet completely devoid of life.
Forty Years Later, New York is renamed "New Wakanda" and ruled over by T'Challa, the city begins its attempt at rebirth.
Earth-37072 (Kulan Gath's Spell)
The Exiles visited a world where Kulan Gath's spell had not been undone, leaving New York City to look like the middle ages.
