The QuickVu™ Camera
Our QuickVu™ Wireless Backup Camera system includes a license plate mounted camera and wireless receiver and monitor.
QuickVu™ Camera
Our camera attaches easily to your license plate in 30 seconds to a minute. Its noninvasive design rarely calls attention to itself, yet calls attention to everything you need to be able to see. It does that dependably. The wide angle lens allows you to have a wider field of vision so you see more than just what's directly behind you.
QuickVu™ Monitor & Receiver
Our QuickVu™ monitor and receiver can attach together on the top of your dashboard or be split up between the top of the dashboard and your console. A strength-tested, non surface damaging, two-sided tape adheres to your car, wherever you feel most appropriate on the dash or console.
Check out our features and benefits and how we compare with other product alternatives.
Finally, a TRULY wireless backup camera!
The camera is installed as easily as mounting a license plate.
- No holes to drill
- No wires to route through the car
- No splicing electrical connections
- No voiding of your car's warranty
- No expensive installation costs
- No more excuses for not having a backup camera in your car
Easy to Use
With vehicles with an ignition-switched auxiliary power outlet (or cigarette lighter receptacle), the camera starts automatically when you start your car (when you are most likely to need to back up) without the need to shift into reverse gear first. For vehicles that do not have switched power outlets, a simple tap of a button will start the camera.
The camera will stay on for 15, 30 (default), 45, or 60 seconds, and then turn off automatically to extend battery life. If you need to turn the camera on again, just tap a button.
Use Your Existing Monitor, or Use Ours
The receiver's RCA video output jack makes it easy to use your GPS or other video display that has an RCA (NTSC) input. On some vehicles, you can even use your in-dash stereo or navigation system. If you don't have a compatible display, our 3.5″ color LCD display provides a vivid image and mounts easily on your dash or console.
Long Lasting, Replaceable Batteries
Thanks to our unique, low-power design the QuickVu™ camera can operate for up to a year in normal use* on just two long-life AA batteries. The batteries are easily replaced for continued use of your backup camera. Battery life can be extended by shortening the length of time the camera remains on during each use.
*Normal use includes four uses per day with the camera on for 30 seconds each use and assumes no extremes in temperatures. Battery life may be longer or shorter with different use patterns and conditions. We recommend Energizer Ultimate Lithium™ batteries or their equivalent.
Optional Socket for Charging or Powering Phone, GPS, …
Our receiver has a USB style socket that can be used for charging or powering your cell phone or other devices.
Hitch Your Trailer with Ease
When mounted directly above the ball, the QuickVu™ camera makes aligning your trailer hitch with the ball a very simple matter. Back right up to the hitch without someone giving you hand signals and without getting in and out of your pickup several times. For those who need to hitch a trailer every day, this can save hours each week, leaving more time for work or fun. And you can check on the trailer, even when driving!

Overall Installation
Overall installation is easy, requiring just a few steps that just about anyone can do:
- Bolt the camera to the license plate mounts.
- Mount the monitor and control box on the dash using hook and loop tape.
- Connect monitor to control box and control box to cigarette lighter socket.
- Adjust control box position and channel for best video reception.
Installation Video
Installation is a snap. You can probably install it yourself in less than 10 minutes. Watch this video and see how easy it is!
Short Overview (1-1/2 minutes)
Full Installation, from Box to Car (6 minutes)
*For best results use on cars and pickup trucks. Not intended for RV's, buses or trailers.
Mounting the Monitor and Control Box:
When mounting the monitor and control box, the main things to keep in mind are safety, convenience, and performance. To ensure safety it is important to not obscure the driver's vision by placing the monitor too high. For shorter drivers, it may be necessary to move the monitor and box to a lower point on the dash, in a cubby, or on another spot that is not between the driver and the road. The monitor and control box need to be within view and within reach so that the driver can see the image and press the button for on/off control. Finally, before finalizing the position of the control box, make sure you have good video transmission. It may be necessary to tweak the position of the control box in order to avoid 'dead spots'. You have a lot of options for mounting the monitor and control box.
Unlike any other
We applaud you for considering a backup camera — whatever you end up buying, you are taking a big step towards driving safety by reducing the risks associated with backing up. You have probably noticed that you have a lot of options. There are many things to consider as you make your decision.
- Inexpensive options often sacrifice image quality and generally require expensive installation.
- Mid-range options may offer improved image quality, but still require expensive installation.
- High priced products may offer great image quality, but unless they are truly wireless, you will still have to pay those expensive installation costs.
- We deliver a great product that you can install quickly and easily without paying an installer. We believe your money is better spent in the product, rather than the installation.

An ever-ready hitch camera
You know how frustrating it can be to hitch your trailer to your truck. If you attempt the feat by yourself, how many times must you stop and get out to see how close you are? How many times have you dinged your bumper or tailgate by running into the hitch? How much fun is it when the rain or snow are falling down and you are tromping through sleet or snow?
Or, if you have a partner, say a spouse, a fishing buddy, or construction partner, how many times have you misinterpreted their arm waving and hand signals? You know they are doing their best, but it's hard to bite your tongue when you put another ding in the tailgate or when it takes fifteen tries to actually align the ball and hitch.
20-30 Minutes Away from the Job or Away from the Lake?
Check out this video to see how easy it is to align your ball and hitch with the QuickVu™ Wireless Backup Camera. This small business owner bought the QuickVu™ system because he would generally spend 20-30 minutes just trying to hitch up his 2-ton trailer. And the dings in the bumper and tailgate are evidence that he didn't always get it right. We set up this camera on his first morning with the QuickVu™ Wireless Backup Camera, and you can see how easily and quickly he backs right up to the trailer, first time, in under a minute!
If you are pulling the trailer, but need to check to make sure the tarp or tie straps are still secure, just tap a button, and the camera comes on to give you a view of the trailer, even while you are driving down the highway! Just try that with a camera that only comes on when your truck is in reverse! (No! Don't try that! Please!)

Acoustic Violin
Search Our Acoustic Violins By Clicking On the Violin Manufacturer to the Left!
The acoustic violin is the product of the evolution of various string instruments that were being played since the time of our nomadic ancestors. Its four-stringed form however is traced back to the fifteen hundreds, and credited to Italian violin maker Andrea Amati. Amati's popularity rose greatly when he was commissioned by King Charles IX of France to make two-dozen violins for his court.
Basically, an acoustic violin is a wooden instrument with an hourglass body that is made to rest on the shoulder of the violinist. The basic parts of a violin are the soundboard, scroll, peg box, neck, fingerboard, upper and lower bouts, bridge, fine tuners, tailpiece and chinrest.
The materials used for making violins, as well as its shape and thickness contribute to the sound quality or voice that it produces. Typical materials that make up the body of the violin are maple wood, silver oak, spruce, and cedar.
The strings of violins were originally made out of catgut or sheep gut. However, today violins strings are made from steel that are either solid or stranded. Other materials used for violin strings are synthetic. Violin makers today also plate the strings with silver or gold. Among all the parts of the violin, it is the strings that experience the most wear and tear. Therefore, they often have to be replaced and restrung so that optimum voice quality is achieved.
Violins come in various sizes so it does not matter if you start playing as a child, or a full grown adult. The full size violins are the 4/4s. Next in line are the ¾, ½, 1/8 and so on.
The two main types of violins are the acoustic violin and the electric violin. The acoustic violin is the traditional instrument that most people are acquainted with. It produces a high-pitched sound and is also used by those who are starting out in learning how to play this instrument. Some advanced users move on to electric violins, which in contrast produce sharper sounds, compatible with rock and pop music. Acoustic or traditional violins do not require electricity, while electric violins require electrical outlets and an amplifier.
When it comes to price points, the acoustic violin is the more practical option for novice players. A good quality, basic acoustic violin can go for as low as forty-five dollars. Meanwhile, if you are looking for a higher quality or professional violin, the prices can range from the low hundreds to the high thousands. The same goes for electric violins.
Antique violins and those that are collector's items are all acoustic violins, because as mentioned earlier, these were the violins used since the fifteen hundreds. The most in demand collector's violins as well as those that fetch high prices in auctions today are those made by the Stradivari family. The Stradivari's were the premiere violin makers in the sixteen to seventeen hundreds, along with the Guameri family.

Dispatched from the UK in 3 business days
"You Are Your Child s First Teacher" was the first book in America to popularize the insights of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf schools, regarding the developmental needs of young children. This revised and updated edition offers new ways for parents andeducators to enrich the lives of children from birth to age six. Some of the most important learning years happen before your child reaches school.In "You Are Your Child s First Teacher," respected Waldorf educator Rahima Baldwin Dancy explains the different stages of learning that children go through from birth to age six, giving you the wisdom and understanding to enrich your child s natural development in the right way at the right time. Today s society often pressures us into overstimulating young children with flashcards, workbooks, videos, and electronic gadgets in a well-meaning attempt to give them a head start. But children are not little adults they learn and grow in radically different ways at different ages, and what we do to help could actually hurt instead. A trusted classic for over twenty years, this newly revised edition contains updated resources and additional information on discipline, early childhood programs, toilet training, using home life as curriculum, and more. From language and cognitive development to appropriate toys and nourishing your child s artistic abilities, Dancy speaks up for a rational approach to child-rearing, one that helps children be children while we fulfill our important role as parents and first teachers."show more

Review quote
"This is a terrific book, packed with commonsense advice on the real basics of healthy mental and emotional development. Rahima is a wise and knowledgeable guide for parents struggling to raise good kids in a challenging world. Someday your children will thank you for reading this book!" -Jane M. Healy, Ph.D., author of "Different Learners" and "Your Child's Growing Mind" "Here is an extraordinary work for those who want to develop a truly intelligent child and, in the process, unlock new levels of their own intelligence and spirit. Rahima Baldwin Dancy gives us a brilliant new insight into early childhood based on the work of Rudolf Steiner and her own rich experience as mother, midwife, and teacher. I only wish it might be required reading for both men and women in all high schools and colleges." -Joseph Chilton Pearce, author, "Magical Child" "Every time I dip back into "You Are Your Child's First Teacher," and there have been many times, I feel like I have been gently elevated and reassured. Rahima gives a compass bearing to the parenting soul." -Kim John Payne, M.ED., author of "Simplicity Parenting" "In "You Are your Child's First Teacher" Baldwin Dancy offers counsel and advice as from a warm and caring friend, never condescending or authoritative, but encouraging, supportive, suggesting new approaches and offering her own experiences for consideration." "-Home Education Magazine " "It is Baldwin Dancy's sensitive, sincere, and ever-so-natural tending to the soul and spirit, as well as mind and body, of the newborn and young child, that makes this a very special book." "-The Wellspring Guide" "Parents do not need a new set of rules or another authority telling them how to raise their children, only the capacity to see and understand the young child as a human being. Baldwin Dancy believes she can help parents harness the necessary 'cognitive and intuitive knowledge' to accomplish the task." -The Brown University Child Behavior and Development Letter "Baldwin Dancy helps us to see that there are real risks to treating our children like little adults. She suggests ways that we can enhance and nurture their development by making conscious choices in our efforts to educate."

Mayhem # 1475026
About Me*Notice* I haven't had a photoshoot in over a year, I have some health issues that have prevented me from working with people. I'm taking very limited shoots and the only shoots I'm taking are paid at the moment because I am out of work.
My name is Skittlez.
I'm a fire performer, dancer, model, go go dancer, burlesque dancer, and your friendly neighborhood geek. I've been modeling for a little over five years, dancing for three, and doing fire for about two. Things I enjoy; video games, fire, latex, body paint, thigh high boots, crazy make up, multi-colored hair, and tattoos. My body is a work in progress. I have a variety of tattoos and piercings. I'm super tired of shooting the normal in studio cutesy shit, I want colors, lights, and things that just make you go "oh shit!
I will always bring an escort with me unless we meet before a shoot in a public place.
My rates are reasonable, and I'm always willing to work with people.
Anything fetish or nude(this includes implied) I will not shoot for free/tfp!
I get naked for a living, I expect to be paid for it.
On that note, I do not shoot open leg! No porn/nothing that could be interpreted as porn.
I'm not perfect, I'm not a beauty queen, I'm just me. - Otep.
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius,
and its better to be absolutely ridiculous,
then absolutely boring. -Marilyn Monroe.
Piercings; Ears, I have three rings in my left ear, and two in my right both with 05/8 gauges. (I am no longer at an inch due to a blowout)
Face; I have double eyebrow, bridge, septum, labret, and two tongue rings.
Body; I have both nipples and my navel.
Tattos; I am currently a work in progress. I have a chest piece, half sleeve, working on a full sleeve, and a half finished half leg sleeve. I have random other tattoos everywhere else.
Scars: I have a inch and half length scar on my upper right shoulder, it's about 2 cm in width.

The economic influence of community-based dolphin watching on a local economy in a developing country: Implications for conservation
This study examined the direct economic impacts of dolphin watching tourism in Lovina, north Bali (Indonesia). The study applied the direct expenditure approach to tourists who went on dolphin tours in Lovina in 2008 and 2009. This industry depends on predictable access to coastal dolphins, attracts at least 37,000 overnight visitors per annum (~60% of the region's overnight tourists) and contributes at least 46% of the total direct expenditures (USD 4.1 million p.a.) for accommodation, meals, transportation, communication and souvenirs. The 179 boatmen enjoy an above average income and thus have little financial incentive to leave the industry. Nonetheless, trip fees constitute only 3% of the total expenditures generated by dolphin watching tourism. The remainder e.g., for accommodation, restaurants and transport is spent with local businesses which become the substantial beneficiaries and hence these stakeholders should also be consulted prior to any management intervention. This profitable industry supports 35–100 tour boats operating daily. The number of boats should be regulated to address concerns over their impacts on the dolphins and visitor satisfaction.

Posted on 07/08/2003 2:39:00 PM PDT by overtaxed_canadian
LEADERSHIP: Rules of Engagement in Iraq Threaten Army Troops
July 8, 2003: Marine and Army troops in Iraq are upset over Rules of Engagement (ROEs) being implemented by Army commanders. While Marines are allowed to carry their weapons, both rifles and machine-guns, ready to use, Army units, especially non-combat ones (including Military Police) are being increasingly restrictive rules regarding the use and handling of weapons. Unlike the Marines, Army convoys do not display any weapons, making it appear as if the convoy is unarmed. For the Marines, this is madness. Marine convoys bristle with weapons, making it clear what will happen if anyone should be so foolish as to attack them. Army MPs are under orders not to handle their machine-guns while on roadblock duty unless they received orders from their headquarters. Army troops are allowed to carry only two M-16 magazines, the rest being kept locked up. Marines are incredulous when they encounter this. Since Marines and Army troops control adjacent sectors, there is ample opportunities for troops from the two services to run into each other and compare notes. It has not gone unnoticed by American troops, or the Iraqis that are attacking them, that nearly all the Americans attacked are Army troops. The Army ROEs tell the Iraqis that Army troops are an easier targets, equipped with an ROE that also serves as a virtual placard saying "shoot me, I have a hard time shooting back."
We have a "free" press.
This strikes me as darn big news.
Why isn't this crap
headlines on Newsweek,
instead of that gay marriage
garbage?! Free press?! GAaak!
So THAT'S it!
That's correct. Very few Marines have been killed since the end of land combat.
I cannot f*%king believe that we are using that kind of restrictive ROE. This must change. Rumsfeld himself has to make this change, immediately if not sooner, or resign.
This is an outrage.
Be Seeing You,
Fire whomever
is in charge of the Army.
Promote the Marine...
Rumsfeld has never pulled any line duty and I doubt if anyone else has in the cabinet. Part of the spectacle we see now in Iraq is the inexperience of air force hot-shots even knowing the basics of ground warfare. We keep tinkering with more and more expensive toys in the air force and do not even know how to take ground and hold it.
Reminds me of Korea and Vietnam when the libs were running the war from DC, and tying the Generals arm behind them.
I was in command of a very small detachment that roamed far and wide on the battlefield, and I'd be damned if I or my men and women be left defenseless.
Don't make me the Secretary of the Army; I'd issue every soldier an M16 and 120 rounds the day they completed Advanced Individual Training, and require them to hold on to the weapon as long as they stayed in the Army. Complete 10 years of service, and the weapon is yours for cost. Complete 20 years, and the weapon is yours for free.
Please let us know what he says if he gets through to you. I have to say like you I think this story is questionable to say the least. So many are quick to believe anything they read in the news still after what we know to be true about CNN, NYT's and other liars.....
this is stupid and will get lots of young men killed....."pc" is getting young men killed.......so very, very sad
Somebody forgot to tell these guys:
Mass Reenlistment Marks July 4th Celebration in Baghdad [Morale at bottom? Bunk.]
DoD ^ | July 5, 2003 | U.S. Army Pfc. James Matise / 101st Airborne Division
As for "massive casualties":
There were more US casualties in one Chicago porch accident last week (13 fatalities and at least 57 wounded) than we had US casualties across all of Iraq during the two weeks of a Operation Scorpion, a major campaign to root out some really bad guys - June 15-June 29.
Our troops rock!
If someone in the Army is giving the command NOT to travel with weapons showing, it did not come from the top.
I thought about this
last night, and I wondered if
political types
who have managed to
take charge of the Army might
purposefully put
engagement tactics
in place which cause GI deaths
because it makes Bush
look bad when the press
reports just the deaths, not the
overall context...
Are some branches of
the military run by
political blocs
directly controlled
by 'Rats, and others controlled
by Republicans?

Nintendo's yarn based game - Kirby's Epic Yarn
While searching for games for my son (ok, me) I came across this: http://kirbykirbykirby.com
And while it not necessarily knitting, I've never come across any game focusing on yarn (or needlework) before. My only disappointment is it's for Wii (which I don't own; was only searching for DS games).
from http://kotaku.com/5664746/review-kirbys-epic-yarn
Yarn graphics? Really? This is the fall of 2010 and that's enough to make this game stand out during prime gaming season? Yes. The gameplay in Kirby's Epic Yarn could be atrocious and this would still be a game worth checking out. The game doesn't just look as if it was created with yarn and thread as if our TVs used stitches instead of pixels it behaves as if it was. Backgrounds fold and unzip. Enemies unravel, some as neatly as a sweater pulled by a loose end. Not a second goes by in this game when its creators aren't delightfully showing what the yarn and fabric elements of a side-scrolling video game might look like. Yarn electricity. Yarn lava. Yarn dinos.
I may just have to buy this for my grandsons for their Wii. I can use it while I babysit.:teehee:
Wow, this looks neat! I might have to try it. :teehee:
Must HAVE!!! :)
I'm seriously thinking about obtaining a Wii;:think:
The companies are getting wise; I can see this expanding:
"Umph, naw, don't need that......I pretty much like what I got already.......why would I need a new......saaaay, that looks like yarn?"
That's right---feed and honor my craft and I will give you my money.

Inner tubes are an amazing product that are practically as useful when they are no longer useful for their intended purpose as when they are being used for their intended purpose. Say that five times fast. From shoe laces, to a wallet, to a computer bracket, you almost want to ask yourself, "Is there anything they can't do?"
Yet another inner tube hack was sent along to us by Nikos over at Bicyclosis. Check out his site for instructions on how to create a cool DIY tool pouch from an inner tube.
It has been said that necessity is the mother of invention. In the bikehacks.com world, perhaps we could say that breakdowns are the father of freakish hacks. Reader Evan suffered a broken cable at a bad time, but came up with a genius field repair, provided by mother nature, to get him home. Take it away Evan . . .
* * * * * * * * * * *
I was descending a big hill in the first mile of ~10 mile commute home from work (dark, ~30 degrees): try to shift into big chainring & it does not go as planned. Coast to a stop under a streetlight at bottom of hill & determine that front derailleur cable is severed (out of the blue, although I guess I might have seen that it was damaged if I had looked). No way to tension derailleur. Decide that I do not want to ride remaining 9 miles in small chainring (24T). Remembering that derailleur is a parallelogram, grab likely-looking stick, shove it into derailleur, and voila! Back to the middle ring. Ride home smugly. Replace cable.
Reader James wanted to incorporate two great forms of recreation into one hack and submitted this awesome post.
* * * * * * * * * * *
I repurposed a Kiddy Karrier to take the weight of the watercraft. I just folded the canopy down and strapped it on with Home Depot ratchet straps. I did not want to disassemble the kid carrier because there are still occasions that we need to carry kids (or pizza and adult beverages!)
I will eventually disassemble and re-design a purpose-built dolly from the carrier that would be easier to remove and replace at the beach.
Saddles can suffer a lot of abuse and covers are a great way to extend the life of a saddle. Reader Tsai-Ching sent along this saddle cover hack.
* * * * * * * * * *
I had my bike for 7 years and the saddle has never changed. I used it for years but it was worn by the weather and aging of the material, so I replaced it with a cover made from my old backpack. I just cut the required area from the backpack, did some sewing, and then tied it to the seat post with a line.
Sometimes your cockpit is like the Blue Oyster Cult Song, "(Don't Fear) The Reaper." The song needed more cowbell . . .
need more cowbell from nicemusicltd on Vimeo.
. . . and sometimes your cockpit just needs more space for your wonderful gadgets and lights. Reader Mike sent along this cool hack for expanding your possibilities.
Cut the down tube off of the stem and cut the ends off of a straight handle bar. Replace the original head set bolt with a longer one and attach it using the star nut in the steering tube.
The Charles River was frozen for several months, but the mercury has cracked freezing for a few days now and the river is cracking as well. Good news for fishermen, although I am not so sure I would be comfortable eating anything that was fished out of the Charles. This is not a beautiful hack that might match the prose of Earnest Hemingway, but as readers know, this site is about practicality and not beauty. In the theme of bike hacks . . .
"He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and the lions on the beach bike hacks. They played like young cats in the dusk and he loved them as he loved the boy. He never dreamed about the boy. He simply woke, looked out the open door at the moon and unrolled his trousers and put them on conjured up bike hacks.
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea
I first heard or saw the term "unboring" in an IKEA ad. I do not know if the ad firm they hired "invented" the word or not, but in my opinion is applies beautifully to various containers being repurposed into bike fenders. I have used several variations of my own over the years, and every so often a reader sends along his/her own take on this common bike hack. We have featured . . .
This version comes from reader "Formil XXL" in Slovakia, Europe.
Bottle up!
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Yet another detergent container fender. I cut the container into 2 exact halves. The front piece is just duct-taped around the frame. The back piece is mounted on a pace of L-shaped metal attached to seat tube.
Greasy hands are no fun and as documented in previous posts, I tie an old sock to my frame or rack in case I have on road repairs. I just put the sock over my hand and do what I need to do, and then toss the sock and replace it with another.
Reader Spannerrash was having problems with chain slips and came up with a hack to keep his hands from getting greasy. The solution is effective, but those with chain slip issues might also benefit from visits to two great web sites that address this issue, as well as just about any bike related repair issue you can think of: Sheldon Brown and The Bicycle Tutor.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I had a series of chain slips that jammed the chain in the rear forks.
I became fed up with greasy hands (that I couldn't clean on the side of the road) so I made a small hook to grab the chain and allows me to put the the chain back in place grease free. Purists will scream and groan that I allowed this to happen but, hey, that's life. The hook out of a piece of 3mm - 1/8th approx wire I found (I think its brass).
The hook now sits in my tool pod under the saddle. A manufacturer may pick up on this and produce an all singing and dancing model but this cost nothing and has served its purpose.
I will admit I am a total pack rat when it comes to keeping items destined for the trash bin that I believe can be used for cleaning products. Rarely if ever will I throw away a textile after it is no longer wanted for its intended purpose.
An old bed sheet? That could be used as a drop cloth for bike maintenance or painting. Old t-shirts? Great rags for cleaning your bike or other nasty spills around the house. An old sock? At all times my bikes have at least one sock tied somewhere for use as a "glove" for on road maintenance so I do not get my hands dirty.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
I can state for a fact that never in my life have I thrown away a toothbrush after it has served its intended purpose. Right now I could go to the storage area under my kitchen sink and there will be at least 10 old toothbrushes in an old plastic Q-Tip box.
The electric toothbrush revolution did not stop me either. I have used my old Oral-B brushes, attached to the unit, to clean the grout on tiles floors or in my shower for example. I have used regular toothbrushes for bike cleaning before, but I had not seen this slick hack, posted over on the Italian redbull.com site before. They linked to bikehacks.com, so I am returning the favor. Molto Bravo!

Cute charm, item is as described
I purchased this charm as a Christmas gift for my granddaughter who is in the military service. It is very nice quality and I am sure she will love it on her bracelet. I would highly recommend it.
This is my favorite charm to date but not for bracelet. It catches on everything. Best used as pendant. Other than that- perfect.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? spot on
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very nice
This is a very hard piece to find and you were the only ones that had it. The jewelry is beautiful.
I bought earring too. I can't wait to wear it on a warm days with Nautica theme outfit and jeans.
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? good
- How accurate was the sizing? good
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. good
Purchased this to wear as a necklace with the anchor earrings I bought. Wear these on Fridays in honor of our troops. Love both items and would recommend them.
The quality of the anchor charm was excelent. I recomend overstock.com to all looking for quality products for a good price.
This is a very lovely and detailed piece. This emblem means a lot to me. I am very pleased with this item
I guess the only main reason I was a little disappointed is because I thought this was going to be larger ...I believe that I thought it was going to be a decent size is by the picture but in person its little.
I love this anchor charm but I was hoping it would be bigger. I should have double checked the measurements before ordering. Overall it's a beautiful charm and the craftsmanship is great. I would recommend purchasing this for a charm bracelet, not to wear as a pendant as I had hoped.
If you're looking for gift ideas, this charm would be a perfect gift for any woman who is a Delta Gamma.
this is now one of my favorite pendants, i wear it to work almost everyday & is constantly being complimented on it... Great Value for the price. Before purchasing this one, i looked all over for an anchor and this one is perfect!

Church of Aghioi Anargyroi
The church of Aghioi Anargiri is of typical Cycladic architecture. A narrow quaint cobbled road leads to the church's precinct, north-west of Hora. On the outside, it impresses visitors with its gleaming white colour and double bell-tower and inside with the simplicity of its decoration.
Monastery of Zoodochos Pigi or Hrissopigi
The monastery of Zoodohos Pigi, or Hrissopigi, stands west of Hora. It is an imposing castle-style edifice built on top of a steep rock with an astonishing view. The locals rightfully call it "Kastro" (Castle) since it is surrounded by a strong fortification wall with embrasures. The islanders took refuge in its inside from the pirate raids. It has been abandoned since 1834 with the church of Zoodohos Pigi as the only reminder of its glorious past.
Alopronia Village, the Port of Sikinos
The port area of Alopronia (sometimes called Skala) is where the tourists stay. The noticeable absence of the usual swarm of motor-bikes, the scourge of so many a Greek Island, is a Godsend. Ultra-lazy days pottering between beach, tavern and hotel can be punctuated by a kayak trip to the beach of Agios Nikolaos.
Episkopi is one hour walk from Chora, is a place where elements of an ancient temple-tomb have been converted in the 7th century to Koimisis tis Theotokou church. The church was remodelled in the 17th century after an earthquake and now is called Moni Episkopi.
Kastro and Chora Village
Sikinos is a settlement which is divided into two villages: Kastro which is the largest and the the unspoiled picturesque Chora or Hora. Kastro with its maze lanes is one of the most authentic with an outstanding beauty, villages in Cyclades. Chora is superb with a trail of windmills. Panagia Pantanassa church has an excellent temple and beautiful meta-byzantine icons. Zoodohos Pigi Monastery is overlooking the main town and gives the impression of a castle. North-east from Hora is the Monastery of Chrissopigi (20 minutes walk) with excellent view. The Folk Museum is the family home of an American ex-pat and it has an olive press and local domestic artefacts.
The monastery of Zoodohos Pigi
This church was used to offer shelter to the locals when they were trying to protect themselves from the pirates.

Blood and Blood Disorders
The Ghaffari laboratory investigates mechanisms that regulate blood stem and progenitor cell formation that are implicated in the pathophysiology of blood disorders. We have been addressing these questions by focusing on FOXO family of transcription factors, which are key regulators of stress resistance and implicated in enhancing human longevity (FOXO3). In our studies we apply genetic tools and biochemistry to investigate the biology of mouse and human cells and the pathophysiology of various mouse models of human blood disorders.
In carrying this work forward we have set up multiple collaborations with investigators at Mount Sinai and elsewhere. Several projects deriving from the line of work described here are available to PhD and MD/PhD students at Mount Sinai.
Hematopoiesis, Hematopoietic Stem Cells and Erythropoiesis
Blood-forming stem cells have unique properties that enable them to live a long life and regenerate blood constantly. The well-being of blood-forming stem cells throughout life is essential for maintaining a healthy life by producing billions of red and white blood cells every day in humans. With aging this regenerative capacity declines which compromises optimum blood production and might also lead to blood malignancies whose incidence increases with age. The primary goal of our laboratory is to dissect the regulatory pathways that maintain the health of blood-forming stem and progenitor cells throughout life. We hope this knowledge will eventually lead to the identification of specific targets and/or development of novel tools that could be used in the clinic to improve therapy and/or to produce healthy blood-forming stem cells in a dish for bone marrow transplantation. In these efforts, we have identified the transcription factor FOXO3 and its regulatory network as critical regulators of blood-forming stem cells and their production of red blood cells.
Erythropoiesis, Red Blood Cells and FOXO3
Erythropoiesis is the process of making red blood cells (RBCs) from hematopoietic progenitor cells. RBCs carry oxygen and travel throughout the body to oxygenate all tissues. Anemia or reduced capacity of RBCs to carry oxygen constitutes a major health problem associated with many disorders. In response to loss or reduced production of RBCs, blood-forming stem and progenitor cells are activated to produce RBCs. RBC production is dependent mainly on erythropoietin, a hormone that is produced when oxygen levels are low. We found FOXO3, a protein that regulates a response to oxygen levels and whose function is partly controlled by erythropoietin, as key to physiologicalregulation of red blood cell maturation and production and the regulation of harmful consequences of oxygen metabolism (oxidative stress) during this process. Our work suggests that enhancing FOXO3 function might increase RBC production in a dish. We are currently evaluating whether some of FOXO3 targets might recapitulate its function and also increase RBC formation in a dish.
Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Leukemic Stem Cells, Aging Stem Cells, Mitochondria and FOXO3
Dormancy is a fundamental property of most adult stem cells. The regeneration capacity of adult blood-forming stem cells is tightly linked to their dormancy, a property that requires the transcription factor FOXO3. The maintenance of stem cell dormancy requires balanced metabolism and mitochondrial function. Our work indicates that FOXO3 is required for mitochondrial metabolism in blood-forming stem cells. We have devised a new approach to investigate stem cell functions. Using this novel approach and other tools we have acquired or developed, we are delving deep into mitochondrial metabolism, its regulation of blood-forming stem cells, and the role of FOXO3. We are also using these tools to dissect the generation of leukemic stem cells and the potential contribution of FOXO3 to this process. Our hope is that these combined approaches will enhance our ability to identify molecules that interfere with abnormal mitochondrial metabolism that might eventually be used therapeutically to modulate stem cell function.

Following the massively controversial botched execution of Clayton Lockett last month, Oklahoma's top appeals court said Thursday it would halt all executions for the next six months so the state can conduct an investigation. After a deeply flawed legal and political battle over the transparency of the lethal cocktail that would be used to kill Lockett, the convicted murderer and rapist was put to death. But the drug did not work effectively, resulting in a gruesome 40-minute ordeal that has made Oklahoma a target of national criticism.
Charles Warner, who was originally set to be executed the same night as Lockett, will now be put to death on Nov. 13. Jordan Valinsky
Sonia Rykiel, the French designer dubbed the "queen of knitwear" by Women's Wear Daily in the 1960s, died Thursday at her home in Paris. She was 86.
Rykiel was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the early 1990s. She was born to Russian and Romanian parents outside of Paris in 1930, and in her early twenties, married a Paris boutique owner. She wasn't happy with any of the items he had for sale, and started making her own pieces, beginning with maternity clothes. Her husband sold her work, and the pieces, like the "poor boy" sweater, were so popular she opened her own store on Paris' Left Bank in 1968. Early fans included Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot, and Rykiel's fashion house turned into a multi-million dollar global brand. Her designs have been featured in museums, and she also wrote several books. She is survived by a daughter, Nathalie, and son, Jean-Philippe. Catherine Garcia
American swimmer Ryan Lochte was charged Thursday by Brazilian police with filing a false robbery report during the Rio Olympics.
In a statement, the police said Lochte will be notified and can decide if he wants introduce a defense in Brazil, The Associated Press reports. The indictment will also be sent to the International Olympic Committee's ethics commission. Lochte had said that while returning to the Olympic Village from a party August 15, he and three other swimmers were robbed at gunpoint by men with badges. Police say a video instead shows an altercation between the swimmers and armed security guards. Lochte later said he was intoxicated at the time and the confrontation was caused by his behavior.
In Brazil, the penalty for filing a false crime report is up to 18 months in prison. If he does not return to Brazil to face the charge, Lochte could be tried in absentia. Catherine Garcia
Donald Trump is not taking back earlier comments he made about Hillary Clinton being a "bigot," and instead is doubling down.
In an interview Thursday with CNN's Anderson Cooper, the Republican presidential nominee said Clinton is a "bigot" who is "selling" minorities "down the tubes because she's not doing anything for those communities. She talks a good game. But she doesn't do anything." Cooper pressed Trump, asking him if he believes Clinton personally hates African-Americans, and Trump replied, "Her policies are bigoted because she knows they're not going to work."
During a speech Thursday in Nevada, Clinton said Trump "has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia" and is "taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over one of America's two major political parties." Catherine Garcia
Hillary Clinton plays up Donald Trump's questionable ties by reading Breitbart News headlines aloud
Hillary Clinton played up the theory of "you are who your friends are" in reference to Donald Trump during a speech in Reno, Nevada, on Thursday. Clinton mentioned Trump's past retweeting of racist Twitter accounts and his hesitancy to disavow former KKK leader David Duke's endorsement as evidence of Trump's improper temperament before pulling out the big guns: zeroing in on Stephen Bannon, Trump's newly minted campaign CEO and the chairman of Breitbart News.
She offered the audience a "flavor" of what Trump's friend Bannon is like, in the form of some of the headlines Breitbart News has published under Bannon's leadership:

"I'm not making this up," Clinton said. Sometimes "show, don't tell" really is the best strategy after all. Becca Stanek
Hey, remember Jeb(!) Bush? The former Florida governor and gone-too-soon 2016 Republican presidential candidate — who, by the way, was the original guy to look at American politics and say "hey, I can fix this"? Well, he appeared on New York's 77 WABC Radio to discuss GOP nominee Donald Trump's ever-shifting views on immigration — and he sounded pretty energetic about shooting down Trump's policy flip-flop.
"I can tell you what I'm for, which is meaningful reform across the board so that we secure the border, first and foremost," Bush told host Rita Cosby. He then said he'd support a policy "including an E-Verify system, and including visa reform, because 40 percent of illegal immigrants don't cross the southern border. They come with a legal visa, and they just stay." When Cosby pointed out that Trump's newest stance is strikingly similar to what Bush laid out, the former governor just chuckled:
Jeb(!) calls Trump's shifting on immigration "abhorrent" and politically motivated (via @RitaCosby) pic.twitter.com/2xWA4Sg5pC
— Ali Vitali (@alivitali) August 25, 2016
Bush also said people looking for a comprehensive immigration plan could purchase his 2013 book Immigration Wars, which "probably is a buck-ninety-nine on Amazon these days." Chin up, Jeb: The paperback version of Immigration Wars is currently pulling a whole $16 on the e-retailer. Pick up a copy, or listen to the whole interview here. Kimberly Alters
Hillary Clinton highlighted just how extreme Donald Trump is in a speech in Reno, Nevada, on Thursday, pointing to the Republican presidential nominee's embrace of "discredited conspiracy theories," his "steady stream of bigotry," and his campaign's use of "prejudice and paranoia." Although Trump may be attempting to reposition himself as a more moderate candidate via "some new people putting new words in his mouth," Clinton insisted that we already "know who Trump is."
She then pulled out an old Mexican proverb as evidence: "'Tell me with whom you walk, and I will tell you who you are.'" Trump, Clinton said, is essentially walking with "hate groups," whose support he hesitates to disavow, and with a campaign CEO who has published headlines praising the Confederate flag.
In her appeal to the center-right, Clinton urged voters — no matter what political party they may belong to — to realize this election is about "who we are as a nation." "If he doesn't respect all Americans," Clinton said of Trump, "how can he serve all Americans?" Becca Stanek
When her husband assumed the presidency in 1993, first lady Hillary Clinton faced a lot of criticism for taking on a public, policy-based role when she headed up the push to make health care universal. Nine days before Bill Clinton was sworn in as the 42nd president, in fact, the first lady-elect was already sitting in on meetings regarding health-care reform. But according to one former Clinton adviser cited in a comprehensive Washington Post article on Hillary's failed health-care push, "health-care task force leader" was not initially the front-facing title Hillary wanted in her husband's administration:
Dick Morris, a former Clinton adviser who is now a critic, said the idea [to lead a health-care task force] emerged from "a whole series of phone calls and a meeting at the governor's mansion" with [Hillary]. He said she first proposed becoming White House chief of staff — an idea Morris said he discouraged. She pondered attorney general or secretary of education, he said. Morris suggested she consider leading an important task force that would boost "her own credentials and her own accomplishments," he said. [The Washington Post]
The Post notes that Clinton recounted events differently in her 2003 autobiography Living History, where she says "Bill first broached the idea" of her leading the health-care task force. The story delves deep into how Hillary's first major government project crumbled beneath her — including how it led to the first time she ever had to wear a bulletproof vest. Read the whole extensive report at The Washington Post. Kimberly Alters
