Following Michigan's disappointing loss in its opening game of the NCAA Tournament in March and Trey Burke's uncertainty about returning for his sophomore season, the outlook for this season was cloudy.
Six weeks into the season, Michigan has risen to from fifth to second in the national polls and looking like a squad that will challenge for the title in a stacked Big Ten — and certainly get past the first weekend when March rolls back around.
The Wolverines are off to a 12-0 start — the second-best in school history, behind the 16-0 mark in the 1985-86 season. But with five other Big Ten teams ranked in the top 25 — Indiana (sixth), Ohio State (seventh), Illinois (10th), Minnesota (13th) and Michigan State (20th) — the road ahead for U-M is replete with plenty of potential potholes.
If the Wolverines are to make a run, they will have to continue the stellar play they have shown in the non-conference schedule. Here are five things we've learned about the Wolverines in the first 12 games:
Burke's even better
Sophomore point guard Trey Burke is better than advertised — before his arrival from Northland High School in Columbus, Ohio, and following a standout freshman season. Burke was named a preseason All-American and has shown he merits the honor, leading U-M with 17.4 points, 7.1 assists and shooting 36 percent on 3-pointers.
He's become a better game manager, discerning when to get teammates involved and when to score, and has an assist-to-turnover ratio of 3.5. In his last seven games, he has 51 assists and just seven turnovers.
"Sometimes less is more with all players. He's trying to make really simple plays," coach John Beilein said. "He wants to win at everything in life and he wants to be the best he can, and he understands that's a good number to have if you want to be a winner as a point guard or a great Michigan player."
Burke showed his versatility in the win over North Carolina State, notching nine assists in the first half while going scoreless. He had 18 points in the second half and added two assists, setting a new career high.
No one-man show
Though Burke has made significant improvement, he's not the only one carrying the load offensively for U-M. Tim Hardaway Jr. is averaging 15.8 points and two freshmen, Nik Stauskas (13.4) and Glenn Robinson Jr. (11.4), also are averaging in double figures.
The main rotation includes 10 players averaging seven minutes or more and five true freshmen are in the mix.
"It's very big (when we're unselfish) and really takes work off me, and Trey's and Nik's shoulders as guards, and builds confidence in (the post players) that are making lay-ups and cashing it in," Hardaway said.
Big man Jon Horford suffered a dislocated kneecap last week but Michigan is better able to handle the setback because of depth in the frontcourt with Mitch McGary, Max Bielfeldt and Blake McLimans.
Freshman Spike Albrecht has shown that he can hold his own in backing up Burke and allowing him to get rest so that he's fresher throughout the season.
Fresh faces
Many experts pegged the five-man freshman class to be impactful, but the group has become critical to Michigan's success. Robinson cracked the starting lineup from the beginning of the season and is averaging 11.4 points and 6.2 rebounds. He's a somewhat quiet contributor, as Burke and Hardaway — and even Stauskas — get most of the offensive attention.
Stauskas came off the bench for the first six games, but after showing pinpoint 3-point shooting, moved ahead of senior Matt Vogrich to a starting nod. He's scored in double figures in the last 11 games, including 20 points in 33 minutes against N.C. State and 16 points — with a season-best five triples — against Eastern Michigan.
McGary has provided size, hustle and energy in the post and Spike Albrecht has been a more-than-adequate backup at point guard. Caris LeVert, who was a redshirt candidate, broke out for a season-best eight points against Eastern Michigan and has moved into the rotation.
Hitting the boards
With a lack of size in the frontcourt, rebounding was one of the Wolverines' biggest deficiencies last season. But with the additions of freshmen Robinson (6-foot-6) and McGary (6-10), U-M has outrebounded all but one (N.C. State) of its opponents.
With Hardaway, Stauskas, Robinson and Morgan, Michigan has four players at 6-6 or taller in the starting lineup. Last season, they were outsized and outmuscled.
So far this season, the Wolverines are leading the Big Ten in rebounding defense — a stat showing they aren't allowing many second chances. They're also third in the conference in rebounding margin, at plus-10.0.
McGary (5.8 points, 5.8 rebounds) had his first career double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in Thursday's win and he's getting more confidence as he learns how referees are calling games.
Going for it
Beilein was hesitant to start more than one freshman initially, but has made it work by keeping Burke or Hardaway in the lineup to help them get more accustomed. By playing all five freshmen in the rotation and pushing back some of his upperclassmen, Beilein is showing that he's going to try to get the most out of this group, which appears to have Final Four potential.
Beilein's not afraid to put his best players on the floor, which has led to U-M being near the top of the national rankings in field-goal percentage. As always, he maintains a focus on defense, shown by the low number of fouls committed and the increased toughness with rebounding. The squad still doesn't create a great number of turnovers with steals and blocks, but they're improving their team defense, and their offensive efficiency helps them get back and set up their defense.
Beilein won't talk about the good start or the No. 2 ranking, but in his mind, he knows this is a special group and he probably won't have all of the pieces back next year — so he'll look to seize the opportunity now.

Lions first-round pick, Ziggy Ansah, here forcing Redskins QB Robert Griffin III to fumble, has effectively used his 6-foot-5, 270-pound frame on the defensive line this season. (Daniel Mears / Detroit News)
Allen Park � Jim Schwartz called his shot on draft night.
Now Ziggy Ansah, perhaps proving he�s as quick a study as advertised, is calling his own.
Late last week, the Lions rookie first-round pick responded to repeated questions about trying to corral Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III with a shrug and a promise, of sorts.
�I wouldn�t mind making plays on him at all, and I know that I will,� Ansah said. �So we�ll see what happens.�
If you saw what happened, as Ansah filled the stat sheet and, frequently, the Redskins backfield, you saw he was right. And so were the Lions, it appears.
After spending a week at the Senior Bowl coaching the raw-but-talented pass rusher back in January, Detroit�s defensive coaching staff was convinced the Ghanaian-born BYU standout was exactly the kind of player they needed as they overhauled their front four.
�You hear things when people talk about Ziggy,� Schwartz said in April, immediately defending the team�s choice. �They say, �Well, he�s going to need work on learning the game and instincts.� Watch this guy play. He is very, very instinctive.�
Watching the 6-foot-5, 270-pounder in action the past few weeks, that much is obvious. And though Ansah was in and out of last weekend�s game at FedEx Field and might miss some practice time this week � �He was beat up a little bit,� Schwartz acknowledged Monday � he was just about everywhere on the field when he was in there.
�He makes plays whenever he goes in the game,� said Schwartz, downplaying talk of a �progression� or a learning curve for the rookie. �I mean, he learns something new every week. He practices well. His technique continues to improve. But he just has that knack for being able to make a play on the field. And this game was no different.�
Far from overwhelmed
This game is still relatively new to Ansah, of course. That has been well-documented, what with his unique back story � he�d never played football until a few years ago � and his soaring draft stock last winter.
But any notion that he�d find the NFL game overwhelming as a rookie already is out the window.
After playing just less than half of the defensive snaps in the opener against Minnesota � two weeks removed from a concussion he suffered in practice � Ansah has played nearly 100 snaps the last two weeks. Sunday, he was on the field for 48 of the Lions� 77 defensive plays, despite some injury time, and he was beyond productive, finishing with seven tackles � third most on the team � along with two sacks and a forced fumble.
Overall, he has 11 tackles � most among Lions defensive linemen � to go with a team-high 2.5 sacks and a handful of quarterback hits. That doesn�t include a pair of strip-sack fumbles negated by penalties, though the one against the Vikings was the result of Ansah jumping offside.
Ansah credits the interior tandem of Ndamukong Suh and Nick Fairley for much of his early success, and rightly so. Fairley was dominant against the Vikings, while Suh is playing at an All-Pro level thus far.
But Suh, who has openly embraced the 24-year-old rookie � �We�re very similar in the way we came into the game of football,� he says � believes Ansah�s production is rooted in something else, too.
�He started later than me � but not too much later than me � and so really what that does is it forces you to use your athletic ability,� Suh said.
Turning him loose
That, as much as anything, was the takeaway from the Lions pre-draft work with Ansah. He takes coaching well, but he thrived at the Senior Bowl �when we just let him play,� defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham said. So that is essentially what they�re doing with him now, lining him up wide right � the left side is where the biggest change has come in the Lions wide-nine tweak this season � and setting him loose.
Rewind last weekend�s game and you�ll see plenty of examples of that. There�s Ansah beating left tackle Trent Williams, the fourth overall pick from 2010, and drawing a holding penalty on the first play of a second-quarter drive. There�s Ansah chasing down Alfred Morris to make a huge diving tackle on the opening drive of the second half. And there�s Ansah again cleaning up with a sack after Suh made a mess of things on the next Redskins possession.
Game-wreckers, Schwartz calls them. And that�s what the Lions are banking on after investing three of their last four first-round picks in that defensive front. Detroit�s secondary is improved � two legit safeties on the field can make a world of difference � but it�s the pass rush that travels well, as they say, in the NFL. Last weekend�s game � particularly the second half � provided more evidence of that.
But pressure?
�There�s no pressure on us at all,� Ansah said. �If the defensive coordinator tells us to go straight to the quarterback, we go straight to the quarterback. If we�re going to tackle the guy, we�re going to tackle the guy.�
Sounds simple enough. But sometimes you just have to trust your instincts, I guess.

what I love about Ellis's characters is their willingness to admit what they do not know, and their confidence that they can learn it if it's explained to them by experts.this is the whole principle behind taking "A Master." like when Ralph Macchio asks Mr. Miyagi to "teach him how to sweep" in Karate Kid III. or when Dustin Hoffman learns hows to teach Jack Black in "Kung Fu Panda." ... or why "The Bride" sticks it out under the Cruel Tutelage of Pei Mei.

On to the mild climate of the French Riviera. Experience an optional evening in Monte Carlo, visit Avignon, and overnight in Carcassonne, a wonderful example of a medieval fortified city. In Spain, spend two nights each in Barcelona and Madrid with included guided sightseeing tours. Travel north into Castile, stopping in El Cid's Burgos, then to Basque Country for an overnight in Bilbao before exploring the jewels of France: Bordeaux, Poitiers, Châteaux Country, Orleans, and Paris, the splendid "City of Light."

A full day to savor our rich program of optional activities: take a panoramic tour of London's landmarks, visit the Tower of London, or choose an excursion to Windsor Castle. Tonight maybe a leisurely cruise on the Thames River? (B)
Leave London in the early morning and head through the lush English countryside to the Channel port, where you embark on your FERRY for the Continent. Meet your Tour Director and board your luxury coach for the drive to the Amsterdam area. (B)
Today, enjoy a CANAL CRUISE to see the town from water level, then watch the cutting and polishing of precious stones at a DIAMOND CENTER in Amsterdam. Later, sightseeing with a Local Guide points out the city highlights. In the afternoon, travel southward to the Rhineland area for an overnight. (B,D)
Drive through the scenic Rhineland this morning or, alternatively, take the optional Rhine River cruise and enjoy splendid scenery including the Lorelei rock.

In the afternoon, travel by way of the Autobahn into Switzerland for two overnights in the Lucerne area. (B)
One of Switzerland's finest cities, Lucerne is nestled amid its snowcapped Alps, surrounded by its lake, and embellished by the clear mountain waters of the Reuss River. Your visit takes in the impressive city walls, CHAPEL BRIDGE, ornate patrician houses lining cobblestone streets, and the LION MONUMENT—a masterful stone sculpture in honor of the heroic Swiss Guard of Louis XVI. A grand selection of optional activities completes the day: a cruise on the fjord-like lake or a cable-car ride to the 10,000-foot summit of Mount Titlis. (B)
More wonderful Alpine scenery as you drive into the mountain ranges that surround the massive St. Gotthard. Once through its great tunnel, you'll start your scenic descent into the warmer and sunnier ambiance of Canton Ticino. Stop in beautiful Lugano and take a stroll along the lakeside promenade. Then, cross into Italy and drive across the Po Valley to Verona, medieval setting of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. See Juliet's house and balcony, and stroll around the picturesque market square. Tonight you are in the Venice area. (B)
Venice is more like a marvelous film set than a real live city, with its criss-crossing canals, gondolas and water buses, arched bridges, and palaces. The included orientation starts with a BOAT RIDE and is followed by some time at leisure and a chance to watch Venetian GLASSBLOWERS fashion their delicate objects as they did centuries ago. Don't miss out on the optional gondola trip, gliding along the picturesque canals with a local troubadour to serenade you. (B,D)
An interesting drive southward, cutting across the Po Delta, and through the gentle Umbrian hills to Assisi, where St. Francis was born in 1182. Visit the world-famous BASILICA with its beautiful frescoes by Giotto, then head for Rome. (B)
The "Eternal City"—a city steeped in history, vibrantly alive and exciting, and absolutely unique! Included sightseeing with a Local Guide starts in ST. PETER'S SQUARE, followed by a visit to the ROMAN FORUM and the mighty COLOSSEUM. (B)
Vistas of undulating hills, rows of cypress trees, terraced vineyards, olive groves, and rural villages form the backdrop of your journey through beautiful Tuscany. Take a break in Pisa to see the SQUARE OF MIRACLES and the amazing Leaning Tower, then on to Florence. (B)
This Renaissance gem and city of the Medicis will keep you enthralled for a whole day. Traffic is banned in part of the historic center, so visitors can wander at leisure and admire the city's timeless beauty in relative peace and quiet. Don't miss out on the included walking tour with a Local Guide that features most of the city highlights. You will see Piazza Santa Croce; beautiful Piazza Signoria; Palazzo Vecchio; Loggia dei Lanzi; and, to top it all, Piazza del Duomo and its cathedral with the Giotto Campanile, and the magnificent East Door of the Baptistry, known as the "Gate of Paradise." Tonight, enjoy dinner at a local restaurant. (B,D)
An early start this morning for the journey northwest with views of the Italian Riviera. Continue to France for a visit to a PERFUME WORKSHOP in Èze before traveling along the celebrated Côte d'Azur. An optional Monte Carlo by Night excursion with dinner is available. (B)
Today's journey will take you through some of France's loveliest scenery, sun-drenched landscapes right out of Van Gogh's paintings, on the way through Provence. Stop for a visit in historic Avignon. Continue westwards to the impressive walled city of Carcassonne for an overnight. (B,D)
Enjoy a visit of this almost-untouched piece of medieval fortified architecture, still standing in all its walled glory with drawbridges, towers, battlements, watch turrets, ramparts, and even arrow-slits to repel the enemy. Later, drive by way of Perpignan across the border into Spain, to arrive in Barcelona for two overnights. (B)
This morning's sightseeing with a Local Guide includes a drive around Montjuïc to see the Olympic Stadium and a panoramic view of the port and city. The drive continues to the city center to Plaza Catalunya and Paseo de Gracia to admire the greatness and eccentricity of Gaudi's architectural masterpieces in the Houses Batlló and Mila and the Sagrada Familia (entrance fee not included). (B)
See more of Catalonia as you drive northwest via Saragossa through the very heart of new Castille for two overnights in Spain's capital, Madrid. (B)
Not only because it's the capital of Spain, but also because it is situated 2,180 feet above sea level, the Spaniards say Madrid is the nearest thing to heaven. Enjoy the main highlights on the included sightseeing excursion. The optional trip to Toledo is most rewarding, too. The splendid setting is like a great open-air museum of Spanish history and art. (B,D)
Climb Somosierra Pass, the boundary between Old and New Castille, before stopping in Burgos to visit the beautiful cathedral. On through Basque Country to Bilbao, now famous for four contemporary architects: Norman Foster, Santiago Calatrava, Cesar Pelli, and Frank Gehry. (B,D)
A change of scenery as you travel into France across Gascony for an orientation of Bordeaux, the wine capital of France. Travel farther north by way of the Cognac area to Poitiers, of Black Prince fame. (B,D)
The autoroute L'Aquitaine will take you directly to Tours and along the Loire, passing the castles of Amboise and Chaumont. Stop in Orleans before reaching Paris in time to enjoy an optional excursion. (B)
One full day to explore the city that's known throughout the world for its fashions, art and museums, delicious food, and joie de vivre. Included sightseeing with a local expert shows off many of the best-known Parisian sights: La Sorbonne, Arc de Triomphe, Opéra, Madeleine, the Eiffel Tower, the Pyramid near the Louvre, the Invalides, and Champs Elysées. Optional excursions are also available to the Palace and Gardens of Versailles. (B)
Relax and let the countryside whiz by on the road north to the coast, where you board your Channel FERRY. Through Kent, return to London for an evening arrival. (B)
Your vacation ends with breakfast this morning. (B)

Round-trip transportation between London and the Channel ports; on the Continent, private first-class air-conditioned motorcoach. Cross-Channel ferry; canal transfer boat in Venice
Buffet breakfasts; 7 dinners, including a dinner at a local restaurant in Florence
With Cosmos, there's no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. Averaging over a decade... we'd like you to meet a Tour Director, who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your vacation.
I enjoy sharing my stories about each country and city, and seeing travelers' reactions as they savor new cultures and experiences every day. Few other things in life make such a major impact in such a short time. It's so wonderful to meet a group of people who start the vacation as strangers but then often come away as lifetime friends. This gives me the passion to do what I do!

The "hit" track from the band's album is given a couple industrial/dance reworkings by famed Tackhead member Adrian Sherwood. Three remixes in all, plus one track from the Oops! Wrong Stereotype compilation album.
As heard on "Democracy Now!" often, this classic is Back In Stock!
"Most people are no doubt more familiar with the version by The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Franti and Tse's project after departing from The Beatnigs. I've always preferred The Beatnigs' version, partly because it has more of a jackhammer quality, seemingly trying to flatten the offending appliance out of all recognition. The lyrics definitely pack a punch, and are frequently funny, though the delivery is more aggressive, even ill-tempered at times.
...having zapped through the fifteen channels I have at my disposal and found nothing that didn't threaten to infect me with extreme idiocy, twenty-one years on, "Television" remains as true as ever - in spirit, even as the historical references have dated."

Anaheim, Calif. -- It took a while, but when the Red Wings finally had a chance to take this series, they seized it with force, in feisty and familiar ways. They skated through time zones and danger zones, regenerating before our eyes, again lining up behind their captain.
The Wings rolled into Anaheim and knocked off the second-seeded Ducks 3-2 Sunday night in Game 7 to advance to the second round, where the Blackhawks await. Redemption doesn't work as a strategy, but for personal motivation, it can work brilliantly.
The Wings did it with Henrik Zetterberg further cementing his icon status in his first year as captain. They did it with Justin Abdelkader, suspended earlier and relentless now, scoring on a steal-and-breakaway. They did it with Valtteri Filppula, who hadn't played well and knew it, so he did something about it.
Filppula fired the first shot and the biggest shot, and when the Wings get guys like him going, they still can inflict damage. Chicago will be the heavy favorite but I imagine the Blackhawks also will beware, because the Wings' stars are shining and the young guys are growing.
Keeping their cool
Ask the Ducks, who were staggered early and never fully recovered. Zetterberg scored less than two minutes into the game, shoveling in a rebound off a Filppula shot, and the huge red-clad contingent in the California crowd made the Wings feel at home.
"We came in here last game and they lit us up at the start," Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "We talked a lot about it, get rid of your nerves in warm-ups and let's get after them. We really felt as the series went on, we were getting better. We felt advantage us, the longer we could make the series go."
The Wings' young forwards and defensemen are getting better, just in time for a much-bigger challenge. But at least they know against Chicago, they have more possibilities than even two weeks ago.
Babcock smartly split up Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk in this game to avoid the Ducks' defensive matchup. The boost worked, and Zetterberg fed all sorts of energy (and pucks). Late in the second period, he sent a nifty pass under his own skate that was tipped by Dan Cleary to Filppula in front of goalie Jonas Hiller. Filppula made no mistake, lifting in a back-hander for a 3-1 lead, and the Wings were rewarded for dominant and disciplined play.
Turns out, the Ducks were more flappable than the Wings, who were happy but exhausted afterward. Jimmy Howard was solid and occasionally terrific, and ultimately outplayed Hiller. Who knew that in a tight, taut series, the Wings would be the ones rattling the opponent into mistakes?
It seemed like Babcock knew, talking with supreme confidence earlier in the day. He suggested the Wings were in a "perfect situation" and even said he knew Filppula — who made a glaring turnover in the last game — would play well. Of course, he also knew he'd be putting him alongside Zetterberg.
"We just wanted to switch it up a little bit on the road, with them having the last matchup," Zetterberg said. "We said we were gonna do it at least the first 10 minutes, but we kept doing it the whole time. We wanted to be the team that skated more in the beginning, and we found a way to do that."
This series was destined for a Game 7. For two weeks, the teams chased each other across the ice and across the country, as if trying to catch a greased puck. Four games went to overtime. Control changed constantly and no lead was safe.
Zetterberg leads way
But as it went on, the pressure had to build on the favored Ducks, and the confidence rose for the young Wings. So it wasn't a shock when they went for the early knockout, skating as if their blades were on fire. And the one firing quickest was Filppula, who hadn't scored in the series but rebounded nicely.
Naturally, it was sparked by Zetterberg. He was tremendous all series but now is scoring — three goals in two games — and leading with incredible passion. Even during a turbulent shortened season, even with numerous fresh faces, the Wings still can exude a relative calm. Maybe it's easier to be serene when you have Zetterberg and Datsyuk on your side.
After the morning practice Sunday, Zetterberg was chatting while watching golf on the dressing-room TV, and said he'd have no trouble getting his afternoon nap. Nap early, wake up on time.
"We've been in this situation many times this year," Zetterberg said. "I told the guys, Game 7 is a little different, but in reality, it's kind of like a Game 6. Just enjoy the atmosphere."
That's what players always say, but really, I think these Wings have enjoyed their rare upstart status. The Ducks' stars, especially Corey Perry, were the ones squeezing their sticks against a No. 7 seed they were supposed to beat.
The series was wonderfully competitive and hotly contested, but it wasn't necessarily artfully played. Plenty of goals came after mistakes, and nobody was immune. The Wings missed several prime chances, and when the Ducks' Emerson Etem skated through the defense and ripped a shot past Howard's short side, the game was tied.
One play, one bounce could change everything, at any moment. And late in the first period, in the midst of an Anaheim power play, Abdelkader made a superb play to steal the puck and race in on a breakaway. He buried the shot like a top-liner should, and the Wings were back on top 2-1, eager to finish it off.
It never comes easily, and the Wings sweated to the end. They couldn't wait to get started in Game 7, then couldn't wait to finish it. And the way they pulled it out, with some of the old and some of the new, it makes you think they have a few tricks left.

The coat is not true to size. I usually wear a medium, but only the small was available and I wanted it so badly that I purchased the small. The small was very huge. I had to return it.
Powder Springs, GA
Best faux fur ever!
I already owned the grey multi and the white coats from Metrostyle. They are great. This review is for the black. This coat has the finest "hand" I've ever felt on a faux fur coat. The fur feel is much better than most real fur coats and I don't have to worry about poor innocent acrylics being hunted to extinction. Outrageously beautiful, great quality. This coat is the standard to which all fur coats should be compared and most found wanting.
Wow-ed the crowd
Classy sassy and chic. . . A champagne look on a sparkling cider budget. The look and feel of the coat is stunning while lending a fantastic fit that fully flatters a brisk winter outing. A great pick me up for the humdrum evening wardrobe.
Detroit, Michigan
Brown Mink
I feel jaded, the coat was not as represented as pictured. Instead of getting a coat that looked like mink with the variations in color,mine came in a solid dark reddish color, which makes it look fake. It is warm and fits well. I bought it in medium and it is true to size. I got it it on clearance and it is warm. I decided to keep the coat, but I am not satisfied with the color. I feel duped.
Great faux fur coat for price!!!!!!
I ordered the faux fur in Gray multi it is a white dark and light gray color on 9/29/14. THE coat arrived a week later regular mail. When it came I washed in my bath tub so fur wont GET on my clothing. I let it AIR dry. The coat is huge. I ordered mine in small. Because it is sized big I can wear a sweater underneath. The coat looks and feel like real fur. It is such a good price. I had coupon for 30 percent off. So with shipping and handing and taxes I paid $62.00 for a quality luxurious coat I will have for years to come.
I ordered the black and white coat, it is a very nice coat. I have worn it probabaly about five or six times with black outfits and each time it has shed the faux fir on the everything! That I do not like. It is very warm but embarrassing when you remove it and it is everywhere.
Some Aspects Exceptional, Not All
The fur on this coat is really soft and shiny. It is the best quality faux brown mink I've seen. However, the coat seems to be sized large. So if I were you, I'd order DOWN a size. The largeness of the coat made my arms look heavier than they really are and that was a turn off. I think I will reorder in the grey/white and go down a size. I think the milk chocolate brown of this coat is making me look too pale which is a problem for me during the winter months when I'm not outside gardening and getting some color in my face. If you have a medium, dark or golden colored complexion, then this brown would look great on you. Me- not so much.

know one knows it is faux coat
I ordered this coat a couple of winters ago wore to my grandparents 65th anniversity party. No one could believe it was not real. I also had it in all white I got on sale during the summer. It looks and feel like true mink. I loved it. I can't wait to get it again. I have to redo my wardrobe do to a break in. Guess even thief thought it was real.

Dallas, GA
Very Nice
I just received this coat today, in Brown Mink. Very Nice. I generally wear the real thing but this coat is very nice. I will wear it everyday all winter.
West Bloomfield, MI
Having tried on many real and expensive mink coats, the faux fur on this one is luxurious! Additionally, the variations in the fur makes it look as if there are mink pelts sown together. Furthermore, the brown sheen gives this faux mink an overall healthy appearance! It is warm and heavy. I'm sure PETA would approve. I am ecstatic over the beauty of this apparell!!!

Customer Reviews for Hard-to-Reach Yellow / Cream Simply Chic Single Cell Window Shades
"Look good and function fantastic"
By customer
The color and texture of the fabric is exactly what I was looking for. They completely block the light from the street light outside. And, the solar and heat deflection is awesome... radical difference.View this product
"Love This Shade!"
By leongus from NY, NY
Due to a house fire, I had to replace every shade in the house. I looked for a cellular that wasn't a solid color. This was perfect. Chose the top down bottom up feature for the bathroom as it affords privacy yet the top can remain open leaving light in the room. Well made. Love the fact that it filters the light. Delighted with this purchase! Fit to perfection.View this product

Detroit � This was supposed to be a night about new faces and new places.
But this being the Red Wings, everything new was old again Wednesday night at Joe Louis Arena, where a 2-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres in the season opener was a reminder that some things simply don�t change.
A reminder, too, that their rough-and-tumble new neighborhood has a few patsies of its own. The �rebuilding� Sabres were deemed also-rans even before they got out of the gate this season � �This is not exactly a test of mettle for the Red Wings,� NBC analyst Mike Milbury grumbled during the first intermission � and Wednesday�s display didn�t do much to dispute that notion.
Still, on a night when another sellout crowd of 20,066 officially welcomed the team�s Eastern Conference resettlement, and on a night they cheered the debuts of Daniel Alfredsson and Stephen Weiss � the Wings� big offseason free-agent signings � it was less about what they brought and more about what they joined.
First-period goals by Pavel Datsyuk and Mikael Samuelsson provided all the scoring that was needed. Jimmy Howard stopped every shot he faced until he decided to end his own shutout bid with an inadvertent assist in the third period. And � same as it ever was, I suppose � the referees did their best to even things up, handing Buffalo seven power plays (including two 5-on-3s) in the first two periods and even waving off a good goal by Daniel Cleary for interference.
Tougher competition
This was not a rout, but it did seem routine, didn�t it? Maybe a bit too routine for coach Mike Babcock�s liking. (�I would�ve liked to see us a little more intense,� he said.) Especially with sterner tests looming, including Saturday�s trip to Boston to face the defending East champs.
Yet as openers go, this was probably the kind of affirmation the Wings needed. The new guys had a chance to get settled, the penalty-killing units got a workout, and unlike a year ago in that shotgun start after the lockout � you remember the 6-0 shellacking at St. Louis, right? � at least the Wings aren�t playing catch-up from the start.
�You�re putting points up on the board now,� said Weiss, the 12-year NHL veteran who admitted to feeling �anxious� and �nervous� prior to his first regular-season game wearing the winged wheel. �This is the real deal now. You�re starting to count everything.�
The Wings probably weren�t counting on Samuelsson scoring right off the bat, but they�ll certainly take it after getting nothing from him in an injury-plagued return to Detroit a year ago.
Babcock admitted it was his mistake that left the Wings� fourth line on the ice against the Sabres� top line midway through the first period. But no matter: Hockey has a funny way of rewarding mistakes.
And so it was with Wednesday�s first goal, set up by Cory Emmerton, a player this team waived and then recalled earlier in the week � �I�d be lying if I told you there wasn�t a little extra fire there,� he said � and scored by the 36-year-old Samuelsson, a player the Wings wanted to amnesty this summer and most fans understandably want to see replaced with Tomas Tatar or Gustav Nyquist.
�If you ask me, I don�t have any doubts I can still play a pretty good game,� Samuelsson shrugged. �But it�s easy to stand in here and talk. Hopefully I�ll show it on the ice.�
Datsyuk's turn on stage
Datsyuk shows it every night, of course. And a half-minute after Samuelsson scored, it was the newly-extended star�s turn, dangling and dazzling with an unassisted backhander in the slot. From there, there wasn�t much doubt, though the scoreboard didn�t seem to agree.
Which is about all you can ask for at this point. Every team has question marks in this league. But the Wings figure to have more answers than they did a year ago.
The young defensemen can only get better, though they�d better stay healthy. The power play will be markedly improved with Alfredsson�s right-hand shot firing bullets. Give him and Weiss a few weeks to get comfortable with Johan Franzen and you�ve got the 1-2 punch that was missing last season, too. As Babcock said, �If you have 1A and 1B instead of 1 and 2 it makes it way easier for you to run your bench.�
This transition to the East won�t necessarily be easy � except for the travel, of course � but this team, in it�s old tried-and-true way, certainly seems ready for a new challenge.
�I think that�s how you start every year: You never know how good you are,� said Babcock, beginning his ninth season behind the Wings� bench � matching Scotty Bowman�s tenure in Detroit. �The speculation is we�re a better team than last year. And yet last year�s team turned out to be a pretty good team. So those things just don�t happen by accident. You�ve got to get your structure back, you�ve got to get your work ethic back, and good things gotta happen.�
But just as better teams are coming for the Wings, better things should be, too.

The Prestigious WTA Awards and Achievements
The WTA Awards is one of the most awaited announcements in the international tennis world. The Women's Tennis Association was formed in 1973, but the year 1977 saw the beginning of the WTA Awards to recognise the most outstanding players of each season. Some of these achievements have been given to deserving players since 1977 while the others are recent additions due to the growing number of tennis players, enthusiasts, and fans all over the globe.
The WTA Awards are chosen either by the media, the players, WTA and the Tournaments themselves, and the fans through voting. Let's take a look at these celebrated WTA Awards and some of the most remarkable tennis players who received them:
Chosen by the Media
Player of the Year
Doubles Team of the Year
Most Improved Player
Newcomer of the Year
Comeback Player of the Year
These awards are perhaps the most important career-booster for the players of WTA. Highly popularised by the international media, these awards give high status to their recipients. Steffi Graf is now regarded a tennis icon for winning the highest number of Player of the Year award, not to mention her Grand Slams and other notable achievements. Pam Shriver and Martina Navratilova are considered one of the best doubles team in the history of tennis, having won for 8 consecutive years from 1981-88. The Most Improved Player and Newcomer of the Year both highlight the emerging players of the season – players everyone in the tennis industry should watch out for.
Chosen by the Players
Peachy Kellymeyer Player Service
Karen Krantzcke Sportsmanship
Tournament of the Year/Premier
Tournament of the Year/International
The Peachy Kellymeyer Player Service was named after a perpetual tennis icon – Peachy Kellymeyer. She had received numerous awards during her heyday in the 1950s and went on to be an administrator who is now known as an icon who changed the face of women's tennis forever. Karen Krantzcke was an Australian tennis player who, in her short career, attained a World Top Ten singles ranking in 1970. She died of heart attack while jogging during the 1977 USA Challenger circuit and the WTA named the sportsmanship award in her honour.
Chosen by WTA and the Tournaments
Diamond Aces
This WTA award started in 1995 and was named after Jerry Diamond, the late WTA trailblazer who was very dedicated to association and the tennis industry at large. Diamond Aces is awarded to tennis players who work endlessly to promote tennis on and off the court. The current title holder is Victoria Azarenka of Belarus, now in her second consecutive winning streak of Diamond Aces.
Chosen by the Fans
Fan Favourite Singles Player of the Year
Fan Favourite Doubles Team of the Year
Fan Favourite Twitter
Fan Favourite Facebook
Fan Favourite Video
Fan Favourite WTA Live Show
Fan Favourite Shot of the Year
Fan Favourite Match of the Year
These Fan Favourites are a recent addition to WTA's growing roster of awards; some started in 2009 while the others just began this season. They were made possible by the increasing online fan base of WTA and voting is usually done across social media platforms and certain online voting systems. Maria Sharapova proves really popular to fans all over the world and she bagged numerous awards this year such as the Twitter and Facebook Fan Favourite. Her match against Victoria Azarenka was also named the 2013 Fan Favourite Match of the Year.
