Cardinal Logistics and Greatwide Logistics complete merger
February 13, 2013
Two third-party logistics (3PL) service providers—Greatwide Logistics Services LLC and Cardinal Logistics Management Inc.—said today they have completed a merger of their two companies, which they said will create a market leading logistics organization that offers a broad service platform with annual revenues of more than $1 billion.
Greatwide and Cardinal officials said that the combined company's dedicated contract carriage and delivery division will have one of the largest, most diverse dedicated fleet operations in the country and will be uniquely positioned to provide industry leading capabilities for its customers with over $850 million in annual revenue, 5,000 drivers, 125 operating locations and demonstrated expertise across multiple industries, including grocery, bulk food, retail, metals and building products.
In terms of synergies each company brings to the table, they explained that Cardinal's expertise in high touch, final mile company truck dedicated services paired with Greatwide's strength with high service, flexible owner operator based dedicated service will create a compelling customer value proposition. And they added that the combined company's highly customized, value-added irregular route truckload, less than truckload, full service freight brokerage, managed transportation, and warehousing services will be available across the U.S. and Canada.
Jerry Bowman, president and COO of Cardinal Logistics, told LM that this merger made sense on multiple levels, with one main driver being that both Cardinal and Greatwide had the same majority owner, New York-based private investment firm Centerbridge Partners.
"The companies [also] had a significant overlap in services so it made sense to merge," he said. "The merger will increase service offerings of both companies and should produce operational efficiencies over time."
Bowman added that the combined company will operate approximately 5,500 power units on behalf of more than 50 customers in the dedicated market.
As for the integration of Cardinal and Greatwide, he said integration planning has been underway for several months. "The overarching goal is do it well, not fast and to make it invisible to customers," he said.
It is anticipated the integration activities will take the majority of 2013, he said.
Greatwide CEO John Tague, former president of United Airlines, will serve as chairman and CEO of the combined company, and Vin McLoughlin, chairman of Cardinal Logistics, will serve as vice chairman.
"This merger should benefit both operations," said Dick Armstrong, chairman of supply chain consultancy Armstrong & Associates. "Their strengths are complimentary. McGloughlin has looked for a change for Cardinal for several years. Greatwide's strength has been its DCC operations with a heavy emphasis on the use of owner-operators. Greatwide should benefit from McCloughlin's experience which goes back to JB Hunt's DCC operations."
The financial restructuring effort for Greatwide began in earnest in 2008, when initially announced it had been acquired by affiliates of private investment firm Centerbridge Partners and other investors, including the D.E. Shaw Group, among others. This deal enabled Greatwide to quickly complete its financial restructuring and address its capital structure needs without operational and service disruptions. The deal reduced the company's debt by $478 million—or 77 percent.

New 6"F/8 APM ED arrived today
Posted 10 October 2012 - 08:16 AM
A first inspection was done already and some comments send to the manufacturer.
- packing was very good , but need to be changed , because its difficult to use the same packing for us again for repacking after testing everything
- weight of the scope is more then promissed , OTA weights at moment without rings 8.7 kg = 19.14 lbs and with rings and 3" Losmandy like dovetail 10.7 kg = 23.5 lbs. That is still ok, but we found some places where we can safe weight, the rings can be made more light weight, the front tube flange which holds the cell can be made a bit more lightweight. Also the tube and dew shield ismade from 2.5 mm thick alu, we hope they can go down to 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm , so we can come close to the forecast they made.
Backfocuse on the telescope behind 2" adapter when focuser is fully racked in was agreed on 180 mm, they did insteed 207 mm. We like to leave it this way, bigger backfocuse helps for binoviewers and also to use our Riccardi Apo Reducer/Flattener. However we request therefore a 2.5" screw extension 2 inch long
Overal fit and finish is superb, no improvement needet.
Coating: the objective have the best Multicoating I have seen from any chinese or taiwanese manufacturer , this one is at the level of famous US apo makers, wow, that was a big surprise that they could do what I wanted :-)
Colorcorrection of the optics: Our LZOS/Riccardi 6"F/8 doublet is diffrent designed then all other doublet apos. The LZOS is designed to be better at the blue end which is easy visible for human eye and worse at the red end where human eyes are less sensitive. So the LZOS/Riccardi show zero chromatical aberration In-focuse ( sharp image), such colorfree image you know only from high end FPL53 triplet apos in-focuse.
Our new Chinese FK61 doublet ED is designed like all other doublet apos, diffrent balansed. With a 4 mm eyepiece = 300 power I see nice clear white airydisc with a little blue-purple , like on any other doublet Apos, I know very many customers who report to see no such left chromatical aberration, so I talk here from a very sensitive and ritical point of view. The colorcorrection I see right now at day time is far better then i expected from the design.
Today w ehave sunny clear sky, so i will take the scope home and test it tonight on stars, deep sky andjupiter and report about my views tomorrow.
Weather Forecast is good, so my company imager will take the scope home tomorrow for doing some test shoots , which we will publish here in some days.
After that I pack it and ship it to Mr. Rohr, that he can test it interferometrical , so we know how it compares to other ED doublets.
APM 152 mm f/1200 mm ED doublet Apo ( FK61 + Lanthanium element) fully multicoated. Delivery including 2.5" rotation focuser with fine focuse, adapter APM 2"/1.25" Deluxe, set of Tube rings with transporting handle, 3" Losmandy Like dovetail, 50 mm finder, Transporting case
Option: Interferometrical Testreport for little extra money.
Our Price for US Buyers include door to door delivery and insurance US $ 3,990.-

That's interesting how the lens cell is done with 3 lobes. Are the collimation points behind the lobes or down in the open areas?

Fantastic news, Markus Great to see samples coming through!
Question - is it supposed to say "APO" on the dewshield?
Thanks for sharing the news with us
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:00 AM
Nice work.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:02 AM

its the new way to write APO with modern letters, yes :-)
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:10 AM
I believe we have here a record here. First discussions we have had in april this year , thats 6 month from that date till delivery of first production sample, wow
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:19 AM
Nice looking scope Markus, the Volkswagon apo! When do you expect to get any in quantity to fill orders? Any designs for a 7"?
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:40 AM
After the sales started and I get overal positive feedback, then we start with the next version and will discuss that in detail again, before we fully start
Posted 10 October 2012 - 09:48 AM
That is great news!
I was leaning toward the LZOS/Riccardi, but this one looks beautiful. You have every reason to be proud.
Please let us know how the testing goes.
BTW - my Leica zoom arrived in perfect condition. Thanks!

Its 10.30 pm in Germany, Jupiter started to raise, will watch it later.
So far I did a bit startesting , double stars and looking for chromatical aberration.
chromaticle aberration: coming from infocuse to focuse, you see the typical deep blue fringe, which gets fully absent in-focuse. The highest power for this test was a Ethos 3.7 mm = 325 power, twice the aperature, normaly called maximum usefull power. Vega is infocuse colorfree
coming from outside of focuse to in-focuse, you see the typical light green fringe, which getting absent excactly in focuse.
I have no LZOS 152 doublet by hand to do side by side, but infocuse colorcorrection looks pretty same colorfree.
you can rate the colorcorrection from my memory at least as good as the chinese made 127 mm F7.5 triplet ED, thats maybe because of the mating glas which is lanthanium. Mr. Rohr should be able to compare that better with printed numbers, but my human eye is happy to see infocuse no colorhalo.
Deep Sky:
- Dumbbell nebulae looks nice and contrasty
- M13 shows nice resolving
- M57, Ring Nebulae show nice contrast
- NGC 869 & NGC 884: A Double Open Cluster show refractor like diamonds
- Epsilon Lyrae show nice clean splittet double with faint diffraction ring at 325 power
- epsilon-lyrae, double star show clean and easy splitting
Jupiter comes later.
Startest looks ok, not perfect as in LZOS , but good like other accepted chinese doublets.Maybe later in the night the seeing gets better than it is now to get a more critical opinion
overal impression of the chromatical correction is better then I hoped for, from the optical design.
Posted 10 October 2012 - 05:18 PM
Last view in Jupiter with Leica Zoom at 135 looks perfect white , no yellowish casting or whatever. With 4.7 mm ethos , I can see at low jupiter the atmosphäric dispersion , but still white jupiter disc with all belts and stuff, but not worth to continue now
Maybe tomorrow morning , will see
good night
Posted 10 October 2012 - 05:33 PM
Posted 10 October 2012 - 08:26 PM
Its now 15 minutes past midnight, clouds rolling in, seeing is lousy, so I have to give up.

On the other hand, I'm keen on seeing this big gun in person.
Posted 12 October 2012 - 11:24 AM
Much, much nicer than the CAD drawings suggested.
I think you'll do well with them.
Posted 12 October 2012 - 03:45 PM
more news:
it was raining all day long, so we packed the scope to ship it now to Mr. Rohr.
The manufacturer replied to my weight issues.
The tube wall thickness is not 2.5 mm as we measured, its 2 mm only plus paint which adds up to 2.5 mm.
They could try to mashine tubes to 1.5 mm, but the are worried about flexibility, so I commit to them to keep the 2 mm
the backfocuse we measured he with 207 mm is due installed 2.5" Starlight focuse,r the original focuser is a bit longer and has the agreed 180 mm backfocuse
they will check and do a bit weight reduction on tube rings and cell holiding ring, sO I get we may nail it down with rings and dovetail to roundabout 10 kg, which is more then original thought, but really at the low end compare to any other 6" apo.

1955-1959 Chevy Truck Mono Leaf Lowering Upgrade - The Low Down On Leaf Spring LowWritten by on November 1, 2009 Lower A '55-59 Chevy Safely
There are more than a few old trucks still out there waiting for a good home and a new lease on life, but many of these trucks have had their ride and safety sacrificed for looks. While there are a great number of people who love a truck that is sitting in the weeds, the work done to get it there needs to be well thought out or you and your truck might literally wind up "in" the weeds.
It's easy to cut or remove a bunch of leaf springs and mess with the shackles to try and lower a truck, but they were put there for a reason at the factory and designed to work with all these parts intact. Once you start removing suspension parts, you jeopardize the ride and safety of you and others. This is why there are lowered suspension parts available in the aftermarket.
For those not wanting to get into doing framework or installing airbags on their '55-59 Chevy truck, you have a couple of choices: using a dropped axle, dropped leaf springs, or dropped monoleaf springs. Of course the first can be used with either of the latter to get the nose really down.
In the rear there are a few options as well. There are long shackle kits, flip kits to mount the rearend on top of the leaf springs, and dropped leaf spring packs as well as monoleafs. An easy way to drop the rear of a truck 4 inches with the rearend mounted below the leaf springs is to use a flip kit, but sometimes C-notching the frame is necessary.
Well, what if you have a truck and you're not sure what has been done to the suspension? You know it's low, but underneath it looks dangerous, not to mention it rides bad. That's just what we encountered when we talked to Circle City Hot Rods in Orange, California, about a '55 Chevy 3100 they bought to use as a shop truck. It sat nice and low, had some cool old ET five spokes on it, and ran well, but when we went for a ride in it, we knew immediately something had to be done!
A few things were obvious: it already had a dropped axle, many leafs (front and rear) had been removed as well as cut, it was basically riding on the bumpstops, and the rearend had been flipped and swapped to a 10 bolt. We didn't even realize at the time that the rear shackles had been flipped down to compensate for lowering it too much in the back. This raised it back up 6 inches, but also locked the shackles from swinging like they are supposed to.
So a call was made to Performance Online to see what to do about the desperate situation. They recommended their dropped monoleafs for the front and rear and corresponding spring pin and shackle kits. Fore the front they have a 3-inch dropped monoleaf kit and out back there is either a 4- or 6-inch dropped pair of monoleafs. We were hoping to keep the ride height close to where it was to start with, but we weren't sure exactly how much it had been lowered so we went with the 3- and 6-inch monoleafs (remember this truck already has a dropped axle).
The rebuild of the stock spring pins and shackles is pretty straightforward once the old parts are out; just grease everything up and put the new monoleafs in. The 6-inch monos proved to be too much drop with the rear axle already being flipped, so we re-flipped it back below the leafs like it would be stock, using Performance Online's rearend flip kit. This allowed the use of the 6-inch monoleafs with a 1-inch block to give the truck the look, ride, and rearend clearance.
In the end, the truck came down another 1/2-inch in the front and a full inch in the rear from where it started! Plus the ride is much better and of course safer. Performance Online has just about everything you need for the underside of your classic Chevy or Ford truck-check them out today.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here is the heart of the leaf spring upgrade we are doing on a '55 Chevy truck, 3- and 6-inch dropped monoleafs from Performance Online-aka POL. This truck, like so many out there, has already been lowered for looks somewhere along the way-not for function, let alone safety! We're looking to right some common lowering wrongs.While we're at it, we'll be replacing all of the leaf spring pins and hardware that make up the shackles and mount the springs to the chassis. POL sells replacement stock pieces like these for both the front and the rear leaf springs on '55-59 Chevy 3100 trucks.Here is the truck in the beginning. It was bought by Circle City Hot Rods (CCHR) in Orange, California, to use as shop truck, but it was quickly decided that the ride was scary in more than a few ways, including literally. The truck had a good stance and already had a dropped axle in it, but that's where the good ended.A peak under the frontend and we see a leaf spring pack missing more than a few leafs and what's left was cut up and had no arch to speak of.After taking a few ride height measurements, CCHR and truck owner Jimmy White pulled out the dropped axle and brake assembly for a better look at the springs. Don't forget your jackstands!The front shackles need to come apart so the springs can come out. There are nuts on the end of each threaded pin that go in the spring eye and the threaded bushing in the chassis. Support the spring pack, remove the nuts, the sides of the shackles, and lower the spring pack.Using one of the old pins, thread it back in from the inside of the frame and use a hammer to drive it and the threaded bushing out of the frame. You can see the bushing starting to come out here.Clean up the hole and using the same old pin, thread it into a new threaded bushing. Grease the bushing and carefully start and drive the new bushing into the frame.
The monoleafs came with new threaded bushings in the spring eyes, so grease them and thread in a pin. Slide a rubber seal on each side of each pin, so a total of four on the front shackle as seen here between the shackle plates. Lift the monoleaf into place and slide on the shackle plates followed by the locking nuts and new grease zerks. Alternate tightening each nut while making sure the threaded pins don't spin in or out.We noticed that the caster on the axle in the truck was a little on the positive side, so we also ordered some of POL's caster shims. These will help lay the axle back a bit and should make the steering more stable. The little spacers sit in the slotted grooves; you'll want to make sure they don't sit higher than the shims so the axle, shim, and spring seat properly.Here we see the shim between the axle and the monoleaf with the thicker side to the rear. The POL monoleafs came with new U-bolts, which were used to tighten the assembly back down. We now have about 4 degrees of caster. There is a simple machined pin and a nut that mount the rear of the front monoleafs to their brackets on the frame; don't forget the grease during assembly and to use the grease gun on all the zerks afterward.The rear leaf spring situation wasn't looking much better. This plus blown-out air shocks and a rearend flipped to the top side of the springs left a real bad ride with the travel that remained.It seems they lowered it too much and tried to raise the rear up again by flipping the rear shackles down to the 6 o'clock position when they are supposed to be at 12 o'clock! Not only did that move the rear spring eye 6 inches back down, it also prohibited the shackle from swinging like it should since it was caged in the cast shackle mount on the side of the frame. The rear spring shackles come out easier than the front with a single through bolt.The front mount of the rear springs are a little different. They are a machined pin with a grease zerk on one side with a small perpendicular retaining pin to keep it in place and from spinning. Take the nut off the retaining pin and drive it out-the main pin should then come out.Apparently the hole in the running board splash aprons was added to remove and replace this pin! You might have to take the grease zerk off the old pin to get it out.With the notch for the retaining pin down, hold the front of the monoleaf in place and slide the main pin in. Install the new retaining pin opposite of how the old one came out followed by the grease zerk.
Here is the back of the rear monoleaf and shackle setup before the outside shackle plate is installed. We found out right before this that it is easier to set up this end of the rear spring first before the front or at least set the rear of the leaf on top of the cast shackle mount first.With all four dropped monoleafs installed it was time to address the rearend. For those with a stock rearend setup that is below the leaf springs you can skip this. For anyone else, pay attention or order less of a drop in the rear monoleafs. We have to cut these spring pads off the rearend and weld new ones on the other side, but some measurements need to be taken first so the new ones go back on in the right spot.Once the old spring pads are cut off and the axle housing ground down and cleaned up, the pinion needs to be set at 2 degrees up and then the new spring pads were set level to the ground, tack-welded on, checked, and finish-welded in place.Performance Online has this rear flip kit that is generally used to flip axles on top of the leaf springs like this one was, but we are going to use it for the opposite procedure. This is being done to avoid C-notching the frame.The 10-bolt rearend is jacked back up into place under the monoleafs, and it tells us a few more things that need to be done.The new U-bolt plates will most likely hit the stock bumpstop mount on the outside of the frame. This isn't all bad news since the stock bumpstops were too tall anyway and would limit the precious travel we were trying to save. So the mounts came off and short bumpstops were installed on the frame.We're almost done. Don't forget to install the Allen bolts through the center of each monoleaf to locate the front and rear axles.One last thing-the rearend was still a bit too close to the frame for comfort, so a 1-inch lowering block from POL was installed between the bottom of the rear monoleafs and the rearend followed by new U-bolts.

Volunteer Vampires
Call it Volunteer Vampires - a dilemma many of us struggle with (and feel guilty about struggling with). In simple terms, how much to volunteer at our children's schools?
In "Sharks and Jets," one of the stay-at-home mom essays in my anthology Mommy Wars, Washington, DC mom Page Evans reveals the angst underneath the yes-woman she presents to everyone who asks her to volunteer for anything:
YES! Yes. Yes. YES! Yes. And yes.
For stay-at-home moms without so-called "real" jobs, volunteering becomes a social payback of sorts. I feel obligated to volunteer, to say yes, to prove my worth. But who am I proving it to?
The problem with saying yes so often is that I've found myself doing more volunteering than parenting. One day I woke up and thought: 'The whole reason I'm not working is to raise my children, but now I'm paying a babysitter to take them to the park so I can volunteer and not get paid.'
Another view on over-volunteering comes from Terri Minsky, a New York based Hollywood writer and show-runner, who called her Mommy Wars essay "The Mother Load."
At my children's school, there are mothers who hold meetings with administrators to discuss the juice policy. I would put a fork in my eye if that were my life.
These days, perhaps to help parents find a happy medium between spending too much or no time at all at school, some administrators have taken to mandating volunteerism, a doublespeak concept eerily reminiscent of George Orwell's 1984.
Parent involvement is greatly encouraged at Buckley. The library, the safety patrol, stage productions, the Family Skating Party, the Theatre Benefit, the Used Clothing Sale, the Book Fair, the Spring Art Exhibition Day and Grandparents Day provide many opportunities to volunteer. The Fathers Committee organizes annual Father-Son events such as: the overnight camping trip in the fall, a dinner off campus for Middle and Upper School fathers and sons in the winter, and a baseball game outing every spring. - The Buckley School
Some parents wouldn't dream of missing a camping trip or a family skating party with their kids, helpfully organized by the school. But apparently, other parents aren't reading the fine print. Buckley and another Manhattan private school, Marymount, created a stir last week by reprimanding parents who outsource volunteering to their paid housekeepers and nannies, with this email blast:
"Parents are the only acceptable option for patrol. Caregivers, housekeepers, etc. may NOT walk safety patrol."

Ocean Cargo: Spot pricing escalates in Asia-U.S. trade lane
June 21, 2010
Spot prices for transpacific shipping services have grown by more than 180 percent during the past 12 months to reach a five-year high. Experts describe the increase as a "mini container shipping boom."
Shipping consultant Drewry's Hong Kong-Los Angeles container rate benchmark hit $2,607 per 40-ft (FEU) container last week – 19 percent higher than the previous week and 182 percent higher than the same week in 2009.
But Drewry pointed out that the trade had been suffering with "serious overcapacity and price discounting" in 2009.
It added that the jump in transpacific container rates reflected new peak season surcharges, very tight eastbound transpacific ship capacity and a shortage of boxes, which is becoming an issue in China as well as in the US.
Drewry said eastbound transpacific freight rates, under annual contracts signed in May and June for the 2010/2011 season were also more than twice the previous low levels of the 2009-10 season.
"The rebound in spot container freight rates has been phenomenal, as rates now substantially exceed pre-crisis levels of about $2,000 per 40-foot box," said Philip Damas, dditor of the Drewry Container Freight Rate Insight report, which contains the data.
"Whether you look at Hong Kong-to-Los Angeles, Shanghai-to-LA, Shanghai-to-New York or Shanghai-to-Chicago, all our weekly container rate benchmarks from port to port or from port to inland point show year-on-year increases of more than 60 percent.
"It is a mini container shipping boom, ahead of the full recovery of the real economy," he added.

Staff Report
Published Nov. 27, 2012
Federal unemployment benefits will end next month for some 29,000 S.C. residents, the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce said.
The individuals are receiving benefits under the national Emergency Unemployment Compensation program, which expires in early January.
The state agency estimates that ending the benefits will remove $6.2 million a week from South Carolina's economy.
After Dec. 29, South Carolinians filing for unemployment insurance compensation will only be eligible for up to 20 weeks of state benefits.
About 80,000 South Carolinians were on the extended benefits program when the government started to phase it out.
The new law further requires claimants who are moving from state benefits onto the federal program's first tier, and those transitioning to the second federal tier, to complete an in-person interview at any of the agency's SC Works Centers to prove they can't find work.
The Emergency Unemployment Compensation program is a 100% federally funded program that provides benefits to individuals who have exhausted regular state benefits.
The program was created in 2008, and has been modified several times. Most recently, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 extended the expiration date of the program to Jan. 2.
The state employment agency said it will continue to work with the U.S. Department of Labor to analyze every aspect of how ending the federal unemployment program will impact South Carolina.


text: I think your best option is colorado, with the winter that montana,idaho,and wyoming are having i might give them a couple years. You can still get deer tags with no points(do your homework) in colorado and you can always get elk tags. I setup camp for some florida guys and they get tags every year. GOOD LUCK


text: Wheaton College accepts checks, cash and wire transfers for payment. We do not accept credit or debit cards. Checks should be payable to Wheaton College. Post-dated checks cannot be accepted. Wire information is available by contacting the Student Accounts Office. A one-time $75.00 penalty will be charged if the account balance is not received by the first Wednesday of the current semester. Late fees of 1.5% per month will then be assessed on any past-due balance. Failure to complete all paperwork required by the Financial Aid Office can delay the release of funds, resulting in late charges being assessed and the inability to register for future semesters. If a student is receiving an outside scholarship, it is his/her responsibility to inform the scholarship organization of the payment due date. If a scholarship is not received by the due date, the student is responsible for payment. Students with unpaid accounts are not permitted to re-enroll or receive diplomas or transcripts. Additionally, these past-due accounts will be assigned to an outside billing service 60 days after enrollment ceases and are subject to credit bureau reporting. Accounts that are assigned will be responsible for principle, interest, late charges and collection costs. For complete detail of the Wheaton College Student Accounts policies refer to the Wheaton College Catalog. Semester bills are sent to the student's permanent mailing address. Monthly account statements default to the student's CPO box, unless an alternative address has been requested by the student.

Boca Raton, FL (Sports Network) - Abby Wambach scored two more goals to climb
to within six of the all-time scoring record held by fellow American Mia Hamm,
and the United States women's national team beat China, 4-1, on Saturday.
Wambach also scored twice in a 4-0 win over China on Wednesday and she wrapped
up the year with two more to raise her career total to 152. Hamm scored 158 in
her career.
A finalist for the women's FIFA World Player of the Year, Wambach finished the
year with 27 goals. U.S. teammate Alex Morgan, also finalist for player of the
year, led the team with 28 goals this year.
Megan Rapinoe and Sydney Leroux also scored Saturday night at Florida Atlantic
University Stadium as the United States won for the 28th time against just one
loss and three draws this year.
The United States won all three matches in a three-match series against China,
as it finished its Fan Tribute Tour with eight wins and two draws. The United
States tied Germany twice during the tour in a battle of the top two teams in
the world. The United States is ranked No. 1.
The Americans won their third straight Olympic gold in August.

Bathroom lighting is more than a necessity for every bathroom. A properly lit bathroom helps to make sure you and your bathroom look their best while also ensuring your safety while in the bathroom. A well lit bathroom has the added benefit of perfectly applied makeup, flawless hair and more.
While acting as the ultimate in utility and function, decorative bathroom lighting will also add a lot of style to the room.
Good lighting is soft, unshadowed and even. An ideally lit bathroom will have a fixture above the mirror with usually two bulbs, three bulbs or four or more bulbs depending on the amount of space available. This fixture will provide overhead and general lighting. Wall sconces can also be considered, one sconce on either side of the mirror will help avoid shadows and fill in the rest of your face and neck properly. Most bathrooms will require additional flush mount ceiling lighting or recessed lighting in the toilet area, shower area and/or center of the room to fill the entire room properly with light.
Bathroom lighting comes in many styles, colors, designs and layouts so even the most selective of homeowners will have many options to choose from. Whether you're searching for vintage, contemporary, traditional or strikingly modern lighting fixtures, we've got what you want! Try adding a bit of whimsy to the bathroom with a mini-chandelier, it will add romance and make you feel pampered every time you enter. Some larger master baths could even accommodate a mid-sized chandelier. Many states require ventilation in bathrooms without windows. Be sure to take a look at our selection of bathroom fans and flush mount ceiling lights with fans.
Check out our Bathroom Lighting Buying Guide for more information on proper bathroom lighting. Or, call today to speak with one of our product trained representatives. Looking for lots of light and small electricity bills? Take a look at our Energy Star compliant bathroom lighting, ceiling lighting, and wall sconces. Need more than just lighting? Our cabinet hardware, bathroom accessories and mirrors will help you achieve a completely new look!
If you aren't able to find the perfect bathroom light here, visit Lighting Direct for a larger selection of bathroom lights and bathroom lighting fixture. We are committed to helping you find the perfect bathroom light.
Use this field to narrow by the highest price that you would like to pay for your new fixture.
Energy Star Rated Fixtures:
Energy Star is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency.
ADA compliant:
ADA complaint fixtures are those that do not extend from the wall more than 4", helping to provide a safe and accessible environment for disabled Americans.
Bulbs Included:
Use this field to select fixtures that include the bulbs with the purchase of your new Bathroom Fixture.
Contemporary / Modern:
Contemporary fixtures will generally feature hard lines and bright finishes such as nickels and silvers.
Asian styled fixtures generally have a solid base with smooth flowing lines to accent the fixtures in a very specific manner.
Craftsman / Mission:
Mission or craftsman style lighting are usually identified by an almost hand made look. Generally featuring hard lines near the top or base of the fixture
Traditional / Classic:
Traditional styled bathroom lighting are defined by having smooth scrolling and symmetrically curved arms. However they may also feature classic bell shaped shades and round or elongated protruding backplates.
Narrowing by Finish
Because there are so many unique finishes offered by the manufacturers we carry, we have grouped them into common tones to more easily allow you to find the finish you're looking for.
Whether you have a favorite lighting brand or are trying to match lighting that you currently own, you can use this field to narrow your selection down to your preferred bathroom fixture manufacturer.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient Light is designed to splay light in all directions and is usually good for close to ceiling applications.
Down Lighting
Down Lighting directs light downwards by using open bottom shades to minimize the amount of light that is projected upwards towards the ceiling.
Up / Down Lighting
Up / Down Lighting or convertible bathroom fixtures are designed to be mounted either way. Although some fixtures may only be pictured in one direction, these fixtures will have specialized shade mounting hardware to eliminate the possibility of the shade detaching from the fixture as well as compensate for heat displacement when mounted downward.
Up Lighting
Up Lighting is classically the most common form of bathroom lighting and although the light is being directed upwards will still provide ample illumination for many applications.
Bell Shades
Bell shades typically will be narrow where they attach to the fixture tapering to a wider opening for the bulb.
Cone Shades
Cone or Pyramid shades will have a narrow top or bottom with a straight edge opening to a wider area for the bulb.
Cylinder Shades
Cylinder shades are round straight shades that predominantly project light in one direction.
Oval Shades
The oval shape of these shades is in reference to the opening itself and are generally more narrow than typical shades.
Rectangular Shades
Rectangular or square shades are classically associated with contemporary, art deco and Asian styling.
Round Shades
Round and spherical shades are less common in American homes but provide a very distinct look that accent vessel sinks quite well.
Compact Fluorescent (CFL)
CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
Fluorescent tubes are common in bath bars and come in many different styles such as the most common T4 and T5 bulbs.
Halogen bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
Incandescent or Fluorescent
We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.
Xenon / Krypton
Much like their halogen counterparts are extremely bright bulbs with long lifespans that will use a Xenon or Krypton gas inside the bulb.
Selecting the Number of Bulbs
Use this section to select the number of bulbs that you prefer your fixture to have. Once you select a given range you will be able to narrow it down further to a specific number of bulbs.
For example, if you are shopping for a 2 light fixture you will want to select "0-3 Lights", and then "2 Bulbs" in the "Bulb Count" section on the next screen.
Bathroom Fixture Height
The height of the bathroom fixture is determined by the distance of the lowest point of the fixture to the highest point.
Bathroom Fixture Width
The width of the bathroom fixture is determined by the distance from the furthest reaching outside left point to the furthest reaching outside right point.
Bathroom Fixture Extension
The extension of your bathroom fixture is measured from the wall to the furthest reaching point out. Generally this will either be the edge of the shades or the bulbs.
If you are looking for an ADA approved fixture (less than 4" extension) you can use either this field to narrow or our "ADA Compliant" selection under the "Special Features" section.
Keep in mind that if you are looking for a more specific extension dimension you can select the range in this field and then narrow it down even further in the "Specific Extension" field on the next screen.
Bathroom Fixture Backplate Center to Top
The center to top dimension is measured from the point where the backplate of your bathroom fixture attaches to the center of the junction box in your wall.
This measurement is also referred to as the "HCO" and is useful in determining whether or not your new fixture will work to completely cover the hole left when upgrading your existing bathroom lighting.
"HCO" = Height from Center of Outlet

A.When an accordion sound is played on a sample-playback instrument, you are simply playing a digital recording of the original sound, and the only tonal variations that can occur are the result of volume and tone filtering. Consequently, the final sound can lack dimension and expressiveness because the subtleties in tonal variation at the heart of the original instrument are not fully reproduced.
In contrast, the V-Accordion's PBM (Physical Behavior Modeling) sound generator simulates each individual reed sound of an acoustic accordion. It then independently controls them according to the movement of the bellows, just as an acoustic accordion generates a sound. In this way, the V-Accordion reproduces the sound of an acoustic accordion at the fundamental level. It fully expresses every nuance of the player's expression, reproducing even the slightest differences in tone, volume, and pitch in response to the bellows movement.
For example, on an acoustic accordion, a reed sounds at the correct pitch as long as the bellows are moved gently. When the bellows are moved strongly, however, the reed sound's pitch will be detuned. This phenomenon occurs more notably as the reed size becomes larger. When multiple reeds are sounded simultaneously, the amount of detuning varies reed by reed, resulting in the distinctive rich resonance of the accordion. The V-Accordion's PBM sound generator simulates the pitch variation of an acoustic accordion's reeds in response to the movement of the bellows, recreating its rich resonance.
The V-Accordion also simulates the mechanical sounds of an acoustic accordion, such as valve noise and the mechanical noise of the bass buttons. In fact, even the sound variations that occur in how strong the keyboard or bass buttons are played are authentically reproduced.
Besides recreating the sounds of an acoustic accordion, the V-Accordion provides unique new possibilities in sound creation. You can set reed combinations for various musical styles, change the tuning of the musette reeds, and even combine the reeds of different types of accordions.

Countering Radicalization and Recruitment to Al-Qaeda: Fighting the War of Deeds
June 13, 2014
Authored by Dr. Paul Kamolnick.
View the Executive Summary
Fighting the War of Deeds begins by taking deeds seriously—deadly serious—as action, policy, and communication. As communication, deeds furnish the U.S. Government a uniquely potent means for countering al-Qaeda's terrorist propaganda effectively, and also building longer-term alliances based on mutuality with the Arab and Muslim world.

No. 17 Iowa State Sweeps Dayton, 3-0
Related Links
More from Cyclones.tv
Turning Point of the Match
It might seem easy to say Iowa State controlled the match from the first point, but that was the case today as the Cyclones went out on a 4-0 run to start the match. The demanding serving of Caitlin Nolan combined with a pair of kills from Mackenzie Bigbee and a kill from Ciara Capezio to get ISU the early advantage.
Dayton worked hard to stay in the match, but at 16-11 ISU, the Cyclones put any questions about the first set to rest with an 8-0 run that was also served by Nolan and featured three kills from both Bigbee and Capezio.
Discuss it now. Visit out Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of today's game.
Cyclone Match Ball Goes to…
Tenisha Matlock. There were many deserving candidates, but Matlock put up one of the most efficient matches of her career, recording 11 kills at a .588 hitting clip. Playing in her home state of Nebraska, Matlock brought energy to the Cyclones on the court after having to hear throughout the week about the lack of emotion shown during Iowa State's previous two matches.
Honorable mentions should go to Bigbee, Capezio and Jenelle Hudson. Bigbee recorded 12 kills at a .348 hitting clip and was the catalyst for Iowa State's early dominance. Capezio posted her first double-double with a match-high 14 kills and 11 digs. Hudson recorded her third double-double in four matches with her 34 assists and 14 digs.
Cyclone Nation, who was your player of the match? Tweet the player along with the hashtag #CyclONEmatchball to @CycloneVB and we'll announce the fan's pick later before tomorrow's match.
Cyclone Notes
*Jenelle Hudson posted her third double-double of the season and was in double figures for digs the third time this season and 10th time of her career.
*Mackenzie Bigbee's 12 kills marked the sixth time in seven matches this year the sophomore has been in double-figures.
*Kristen Hahn posted 16 digs, increasing her school record for most matches in a row with double-figure digs to 47 matches.
*Ciara Capezio posted her first career double-double with a team-high 14 kills and 11 digs.
*Tenisha Matlock had 11 kills to be in double-figures for the third time this season and 14th of her career. Matlock's .488 hitting clip was the second-best of her career (.600 vs. Cincinnati in 2011).
On Deck
Iowa State's second match of the Ameritas Player's Challenge will be tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. against St. Mary's (Calif.).

A Marine who was accused of exposing himself to women has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and conduct unbecoming an officer.
The court martial of Major Danny Cohlmeyer, an Osprey pilot from New River, was held at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock Friday.
Cohlmeyer exposed himself to three different women in the Jacksonville area, two of them at the community college.
Officials say Cohlmeyer was sentenced to 30 days confinement in the brig at Camp Lejeune, a written reprimand, and to be dismissed from the United States Marine Corps.
A grounded Marine Corps pilot has been served with more indecent exposure charges.
Jacksonville police this weekend arrested Major Danny Cohlmeyer on the two counts. The Osprey pilot from New River had already been charged with another count last weekend.
These latest charges accused the Marine officer of exposing himself with two women at Coastal Carolina Community College on October 27th and 28th. His bond was set at $50,000.
Last week the Marine Corps reassigned Cohlmeyer to the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing at Cherry Point and said so far he faces no military charges.
He was released on bond. A Coastal spokeswoman says Cohlmeyer was not a student at the college.
Previous Story
A Marine Corps major, who is already facing one count of indecent exposure, has two more charges against him.
Major Danny Cohlmeyer was first arrested Sunday by Onslow County deputies after a woman reported a man got out of his pickup truck at a convenience store and was naked from the waist down. The woman told deputies the man was touching himself in a lewd manner.
Jacksonville police now say they have two warrants out for Cohlmeyer. Those incidents apparently happened at Coastal Carolina Community College. When contacted this afternoon, a college spokesman would only say they have cooperated with Jacksonville police in their investigation. The court clerk's office says they have no record of the new warrants being served.
Cohlmeyer was an Osprey pilot at New River, but after his arrest the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing said the major was being grounded and reassigned to Cherry Point headquarters. No military charges have been brought against the Marine officer.
Previous Story
A Marine pilot who is accused of exposing himself to a woman at an Onslow County convenience store has been grounded and reassigned.
Major Danny Cohlmeyer was arrested Sunday by deputies after a woman said the Marine pulled up beside her at the store and was naked from the waist down when he got out of his pickup truck. The woman said Cohlmeyer was also touching himself.
The 37-year-old was an Osprey pilot at New River. A spokesman for the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing says the major has been reassigned to their headquarters at Cherry Point. Spokesman Mike Barton says in his new billet the major will not fly an aircraft.
Cohlmeyer joined the Marines in 1993 and has had multiple deployments to Iraq. The Marine Corps says there are no military charges against the major at this time as his arrest is still under investigation.
The major has a January 25th court date in Jacksonville.
Previous Story
A Marine Corps major is accused of exposing himself at an Onslow County convenience store this weekend.
Deputies have charged Major Danny Cohlmeyer with one count of indecent exposure. The 37-year-old Cohlmeyer is stationed at the New River Air Station and is an Osprey pilot.
Onslow County deputies say the Marine was arrested Sunday. They say deputies were sent to the Friendly Mart on Highway 17 South around 4:00 p.m.. A woman customer told them she was pumping gas and a pickup truck pulled up to the next pump. She told deputies a man, who was naked from the waist down and touching himself, got out of his truck.
The woman said when she told the man she was calling authorities he pulled his clothes up and drove off. The victim managed to get the pickup truck's license plate number.
Deputies say when confronted, the Marine major gave them a story hoping to justify what he did.

May 30, 2016
The Food and Drug Administration is proposing the most sweeping food safety rules in decades, requiring farmers and food companies to be more vigilant in the wake of deadly outbreaks in peanuts, cantaloupe and leafy greens.
The long-overdue rules are aimed at reducing the estimated 3,000 deaths a year from foodborne illness. Just since this summer, listeria in cheese and salmonella in peanut butter, mangoes and cantaloupe are linked to more than 400 illnesses and as many as seven deaths.
The rules proposed by the FDA Friday will require farmers to take precautions against contamination on the farm, making sure workers' hands are washed, irrigation water is clean, and animals stay out of fields, for example. Food manufacturers will also have to submit food safety plans to the government.

'Perennial Diva' recommends garden showstoppers
All gardeners want their flowerbeds to put on a show. Like any Broadway production, that requires some star attractions.
Stephanie Cohen calls those "plants with bling." And the good news, she says, is that plenty of easy-care native plants have that kind of star power.
Cohen is an author and educator who calls herself the Perennial Diva.
"You gotta have a few stars in your garden every season" -- plants with outstanding attributes like color or form that demand attention, Cohen said. They add to a garden what the right scarf or jewelry adds to a basic black dress.
For the divas to stand out, a garden also needs filler plants, which she likened to the chorus. Otherwise your garden would be a little like Beyoncé, JLo and Mariah Carey performing an ensemble version of the national anthem. They'd all be clamoring for attention.
Now that it's garden-planning season, I thought I'd share a few of my favorites from Cohen's list. Prepare to be wowed.
Unlike more common ground covers, however, wild ginger isn't evergreen. "Get over it," Cohen said. Who looks at ground cover in the winter, anyhow?
But beware: "They are promiscuous," she said. They'll cross-pollinate and develop new colors, which she counsels her audience to just accept and enjoy.
"Do not plant these next to your roses," Cohen advised. "You'll commit suicide."
Cohen likes Fireworks for its arching habit and Solar Cascade for its smaller size.
