I use 4' daylight florescent lights above my sewing table and above the cutting table. Thoughout the rest of the house I use the curley Q daylight bulbs. Neither of these get hot. DH has a problem with depression and this helps in the winter when there's so little sun plus it allows for everything to be the right color. I've been using them for about 5 years and so far have only had to change two bulbs. A 25 watt bulb gives off as much light as a regular 100 watt bulb so it's a lot less expensive on our electric bill.
I will be watching the answers here since I will be putting lighting in my new sewing room...
Those new lights that look like spirals. Suppose to be more efficient. I have a lot of natural light that comes into my sewing room. BUT I have sunny yellow walls. I really don't have trouble with the colors when I have the blinds open. We have binocular neighbors. LOL! I wave at them often and they get out of their window quickly then I put up my design panel wall and they give up! LOL!
I have a light box in the center of the room ceiling with florescent bulbs...2 about 4 ft long... They have lasted for years with changing only once and don't give off heat. I also have a large double window across the room and a table Ott light if I need concentrated light for a particular project. I believe good lighting is so essential. I have never regretted using florescent bulbs. My room is painted a creamy yellow so I'm sure that helps as well.
My husband just changed all the lights in my sewing room. You have to look for the right fixtures and bulbs. The are flourscent (sp) but they are the new T12. They are brighter and they give off no heat. I have had them for about 6 months and I just love them so much more light and no heat. We got them at Lowes.
I asked about what would be the best lighting for sewing at the lighting store we did our house through - they said florescent is the best task lighting. Since we were building, I could accommodate anything.
I too installed halogen in my sewing room and took them out because of the heat. One way to use them and avoid the head issue is to use them in up-lights so the light bounces off the ceiling instead of shining directly on the workstation. It still gets warm in the area, but no direct heat on the body! Reflected light also helps eliminate shadows that can sometimes be a pain in the workspace.
I installed an inexpensive dining room light fixture in my sewing room - 6 bulbs providing down light = and as soon as I use up all my regular bulbs I'm going straight daylight bulbs.

No. 3 Cal Poly Wins After 13 Innings Over Cal State Fullerton 4-3
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - Junior right fielder Nick Torres doubled to the gap in left-center field, scoring sophomore second baseman Mark Mathias from first base in the 13th inning, as No. 3 Cal Poly earned a 4-3 walk-off victory over No. 19 Cal State Fullerton before 2,831 Saturday night in Baggett Stadium.
The second walk-off win of the season in their first extra-inning game of the year lifted the Mustangs to 33-5 overall and 10-1 in the Big West Conference, one game ahead of UC Irvine. Cal Poly has won a season-long nine straight games, 15 of 16 and 23 of 24.
Cal State Fullerton has lost four straight, falling to 18-15 for the season and 3-5 in the Big West.
Mathias singled up the middle to open the 13th frame for Cal Poly and, after a foul pop-up on a sacrifice bunt attempt for the first out, Torres sent an 0-1 pitch from J.D. Davis over the head of Cal State Fullerton left fielder Marcus Vidales. Mathias scored without a throw.
Junior right-hander Reed Reilly (2-0) pitched 4 2/3 almost perfect innings in relief for the win. He allowed no runs, no hits, one walk (intentional) and struck out nine, a career high. Reilly (pictured at right) retired 14 of 15 batters, with the intentional walk the lone Titan batter to reach base against him.
The loss went to Davis (2-2) as he went 4 1/3 innings on the mound, giving up one run and six hits with one walk and five strikeouts.
Four Cal Poly pitchers combined to strike out 20 Titan batters, a school Division I record, in the third 13-inning game played in Baggett Stadium's 14-year history. The other two were against UC Davis in 2005 and 2013. The 4-hour, 18-minute contest was almost an hour shy of the Baggett Stadium record.
The Mustangs needed a run in the 13th inning to win even though the Titans struck out 10 more times than Cal Poly, committed three errors (Cal Poly played its 18th errorless game of the year) and were held to just five hits (Cal Poly produced a season-high 17 hits).
Mathias and sophomore shortstop Peter Van Gansen each had four hits for Cal Poly – Van Gansen sending the game into extra innings with a single up the middle in the eighth frame, knotting the score at 3-3.
Mathias, 3-for-5 in Friday's series-opening 8-0 victory, has hit safely in 10 straight games and 27 of his last 28, raising his batting average to .409. Mathias is 47-for-103 (.456) during his 28-game blitz, hitting in 17 straight games before it was snapped by Bakersfield on April 1.
Torres and senior third baseman Jimmy Allen each had a pair of hits for the Mustangs, who have collected 14, 15, 16 and 17 hits in their last four games. Sophomore designated hitter Brian Mundell saw his 12-game hitting streak come to an end, though he walked twice.
Center fielder Clay Williamson singled, doubled and tripled for Cal State Fullerton, driving in one run.
Cal Poly is now 22-2 at home, 23-2 against right-handed starting pitchers and 28-2 when outhitting opponents. The Mustangs are 28 games above the .500 mark for the first time in their 20-year Division I history.
Cal Poly has beaten Cal State Fullerton 10 times in their last 23 meetings, though the Titans still own a 63-37 advantage in the all-time series that started in 1996. The two teams played their 100th game against each other Friday night. The Mustangs won series against Cal State Fullerton at home in 2007 and 2011.
Cal State Fullerton scored in the first inning as third baseman Matt Chapman hit the first pitch of the game over the left-field wall. Cal Poly answered with two runs in the second on an RBI triple by Van Gansen and a run-scoring single by senior catcher Chris Hoo.
The Titans regained the lead with two runs in the fourth. Second baseman Taylor Bryant's sacrifice fly tied the game at 2-2 and Williamson tripled down the right-field line to break the tie.
With Phil Bickford, the No. 10 pick in last year's Major League Draft, on the mound in the eighth, junior left fielder Zack Zehner and pinch hitter Brett Barbier both singled before Van Gansen fouled off several pitches in a 10-pitch at-bat prior to hitting his single up the middle that tied the game at 3-3.
Final game of the series will be played Saturday at 1 o'clock with Cal Poly sophomore right-hander Casey Bloomquist (8-0, 1.58 ERA) to face Cal State Fullerton junior right-hander Grahamm Wiest (2-3, 1.72 ERA).

ROG Carbon Fiber Style 16/12/12
Hello Fellow modders,
After months of working away from home and from my family i am back onto the mod scene.
While i was under ground most of the time i had one project on my mind.
Ever since i first seen the Fractal Design Arc Mini case i have always wanted to mod one out.
My goal is to have a Water cooled but Matx case that can still support High End Gaming but also be able to Render my work projects for clients.
The theme is Republic Of Gaming in Carbon Fiber Style.
So lets get things under away with the help from my first sponsor for this mod i would like to say a big thanks to
This project would not be happening if it was not for the great support and also well built cases they produce.
The unboxing of the case.
Hmm where is my screw driver.
A look inside of the case and a box of goodies.
I am going to do away with all the hard drive cages to house a 240 radiator at the front of the case.
Took the top hard drive cage out with just a screw driver.
Now just the bottom one to take out.
I have to drill out two rivets here.
4 more rivets to drill out this is under the hard drive cage.
All done
That's better.
One empty space for the radiator to be mounted in the front.
That is all for now will get some work done on this front of the case in the next few days.

I finally found some more time to mod out this beast of a case.
I am using a 120mm Xspc radiator bracket and a Xspc EX240 Rad.
I quickly assembled the rad, bracket and fan to get a idea of how much room i got under the 5.25 bays.
I soon worked out that the rad is too tall for to be underneath the 5.25 drive bays i am going to have to remove them.
I am going to drill out all the rivets to get these drive bays out.
Right side panel has to come off.
These have to go as well.
Front panel is removed to locate the rest of the pop rivets.
One side drilled out.
Two sides down front to go>
I found some more on the motherboard tray drill these out.
Did the front no drive bays no more i got something in mind for this area.
Just working out where to mount the rad mount.
I then also thought to leave the front panel alone so i can mount two fans to the rad and two to the front panel.
I drilled some house in the bottom of the case for the rad mount.
I then mounted the Xspc rad mount to the case.
I was glad when the radiator fitted to where i wanted it too.
Front view of the radiator mounted to the case.
That is all for today.

At last took me around 3 days to do this with working and setting up Xmas lights.
Right side panel in black carbon fiber.
Another shoot of the right side panel.
Front panel done as well took me around a hour to do this one.
Top panel just need to get the rest of the air bubbles out.
Panels on the case in the sun light.
Front view of the case i actually love the style of the case i think the carbon fiber vinyl makes it more appealing.
Well this is all i got left in the black carbon fiber but i still got plenty of red carbon fiber left i will take photos of me doing the film as soon as i find time.
My order list at the moment is more black carbon fiber.

cabon fiber=automatic win(chuck norrises boot-print is the origin of carbon fiber)
Do not let anything good in life pass you by. Cherish it with all of your heart, because before you know it even life will have passed you by. And if you let all those things pass you by? The only thing filling your heart will be deep sadness and regret. So whatever you do, hold on, and never let go.

Hey guys thanks for the great feedback.
I need to buy more black carbon fiber and also some white as well.
My next plan is to make a new motherboard tray and a single 5.25 drive bay to house a fan controller.

Hey guys i did a bit of more carbon fiber film except in red this time.
I ordered another Xspc Ex240 rad, Two Corsair Fans and a Lamptron Fan controller.
Black hmm.
Now red : )
A nice look fan i reckon.
I used the red carbon fiber on the fans center and then cut out the Corsair logo and put back over the top of the carbon fiber.
Did both fans and mounted the rad at the top of the case to show how it will look and of course to come up with more ideas where else i should put some carbon fiber on.
This has to go i had a idea to put some clear acrylic here after the inside of the case has been powder coated red i will do more on this area.
The pci bracket is gone just has to grind down the tabs.
That is it for now i'm still waiting on some sheet metal to arrive, Black Carbon fiber film and a Asus Republic of gaming Gene Z68 to come.

I decided to use some 3mm cast acrylic for some mods to be done inside the case.
Cut these pieces out with a jigsaw.
Here is the left side piece.
Bottom piece.
Left side piece to be mounted on the motherboard tray.
Right side piece in.
Bottom piece needs to be fitted flush.
I finally got it all in properly with just chocks of wood and a bit of tape.
Front view this is how i am going to mount my fan controller.
Looks good except i am going to do away with the red carbon fiber film on the fan controller.
Looks better i was thinking maybe use black carbon fiber film.
I will be ordering more acrylic and also some modders mesh to finish off inside the case also i want to mount the acrylic properly inside the case some brackets etc.
I will be using carbon fiber film for the acrylic after i have filed and sanded down the acrylic panels.
I am hoping to order my acrylic and mesh this week.
I will be doing more to the inside of the case during the week with the mounting brackets.
Thanks for viewing.

Smashed a window sigh has just put me behind a bit but had to change a few things but good news i do have the motherboard a cpu and graphics card plus ram : )
I was thinking now to put a Corsair H100 or H80 in the case and maybe use the Arctic cool gpu cooler for a graphics card.
These are the parts i will be using:
Intel i5 2500k will be overclocked to about 4ghz
Asus Gene z68 motherboard
Corsair dominator 1866mhz 16 gig ddr3
Asus 7850 2 gig gpu x2 for crossfire they will just fit with the lower hard drive cage reinstalled.
Power supply will either be a Corsair Ax850watt or maybe something a bit more big like a Corsair Ax1200
I will be using two Ocz Agility 4 ssd in raid.

The Seattle Seahawks-
In Russell Wilson they trust, along with a strong secondary and RB Marshawn Lynch, this team will be the real deal and challenge the 49ers for an NFC West title.
The Washinton Redskins-
With Robert Griffin III at the helm, this team will be on the rise to contest for the NFC East yet again. But can RG III's knee hold out?
The Philadelphia Eagles-
Did horrible this past season, but will Chip Kelly bring a fire within to these birds?
The San Fransisco 49ers-
Will try to get back to the Superbowl, but their division seems to be tightening up a lot faster than you might think.
The St. Louis Rams-
Are improving every year, vying for another chance at playoffs. But can they survive their division to claim the NFC West?
The Baltimore Ravens-
Will be contested to defend their title. With a strong and difficult schedule ahead, as is for all previous Super Bowl champs, can they defend it without the inspirational Ray Lewis?
The Green Bay Packers-
Vow to return to playoffs and win the Super Bowl, but will have to get past the ever- so improving Chicago Bears.
The Chicago Bears-
Will a new head coach and improved secondary help claim the NFC North title, or will Green Bay get in the way?
The New York Giants-
Had a rough year, but are improving their secondary and their offense to better suit their weaponized Eli. But will they stay under the salary cap?
The New England Patriots-
A loss to Baltimore was devastating, but not playoff hope ending. They will most likely claim the AFC East as to there is little to no opposition. But will they survive playoffs this time, or go down in flames as they did last year?
The Minnesota Vikings-
With Adrian Peterson and possibly Green Bay rival Greg Jennings if he chooses so, and the offer is right, they will be a force to be reckoned with. If only we could say the same about their Quarterback.
The Atlanta Falcons-
Got lucky in some games throughout the season, example: Vs. Raiders, but will be challenging yet again for another playoff berth. Can the Saints step up to stop them this time around?
The New Orleans Saints-
With Sean Payton returning, and Rob Ryan as Defensive Coordinator, expect these Saints to represent the Big Eazy with pride, fighting for playoff contention and possibly their 2nd ring.

People who like to run pre-release versions of browsers in order to access the latest features have a new choice: Google Chrome Canary.
Canary has all the bleeding-edge features found in the developer and beta releases of Google Chrome. But unlike the other channel releases, Chrome Canary allows you to run the pre-release browser without overwriting other installations of Chrome on the same system. So, you can now run a regular version of Chrome and a pre-release, auto-updating version of Chrome on the same computer at the same time.
You can download Chrome Canary today, but it is a Windows-only release for now. We expect Google to follow with canaries for other operating systems soon.
Early adopters — mostly curious geeks and developers working with the latest web standards — prefer to run beta versions of browsers. Beta testing allows them to gain intimate first-hand knowledge of the new capabilities that will be found in the next versions of each browser. But beta versions and regular versions of the same browsers both access the same file resources on your computer, a restriction that prevents you from running two different versions side-by-side. Try launching a Firefox 4 beta while Firefox 3.x is open. You'll see an error: "Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
Chrome Canary side-steps this issue. As Google engineer Huan Ren explains on the Chromium-dev list, "the installer will install Google Chrome canary build to a separate directory with different default user profile, short cuts, and icons, i.e. everything should be separate from existing Google Chrome installation."
With this release, there are now four versions of Chrome available. The others are "dev," the least stable build intended for developers, "beta," which is more stable than dev but not fully baked, and the regular Chrome release, the rigorously-tested version that's the default option for the public.
On the same developer's e-mail list, Google's Mark Larson says Canary will be the most bleeding-edge of all Chrome builds. It will auto-update more frequently than any of the other versions available to developers.
This article originally appeared on Webmonkey.com, Wired's site for all things web development, browsers, and web apps. For more from Webmonkey, follow the links at the end of the article.
"The canary usually updates more frequently than the Dev channel (higher risk of bustage), and we're working on making it update as often as we have successful nightly builds. When something doesn't work on the canary, I can just fall back to my Beta Google Chrome," he writes.
Hence the name "Canary" — a reference to the canary in the coal mine. Google recently announced it would be speeding up the Chrome development cycle to push major milestone releases more often. This increased velocity means it will need to begin testing new features in the wild sooner and collecting feedback more quickly.
"The data we get back from canary users — especially crash statistics — helps us find and fix regressions faster," Larson says.
Giving users the option to run a more advanced version of Chrome without having to fully commit to the dangerous lifestyle of an alpha tester should help increase the number of people willing to test the new browser.
Chrome Canary also has a different, all-yellow icon — instead of the multi-colored Chrome icon or the all-blue Chromium icon — so it's easy to spot on your desktop. The beta, dev and stable channel builds of Chrome all use the same familiar rainbow icon. Also, the skin of the browser is blue, helping you tell it apart from other versions of Chrome, which use the same gray skin.

Backing a losing political candidate can be hard enough, but one Mitt Romney supporter has a permanent reminder of the Republican's failed presidential bid.
Eric Hartsburg, of Indiana, has made headlines for getting the Romney campaign logo tattooed on his face.
Despite Romney's loss in last week's election, Hartsburg doesn't regret the 12.7 x 5cm tattoo.
"I'm a tattoo guy, and it was something fun," the 30-year-old told politico.com.
"I was trying to make politics fun. I didn't change no lives; I'm no hero. But I shed blood for this campaign, and I'm glad to know that I did all that I could."
Apparently the professional wrestler did not tell his wife, who is also a Romney supporter, until an hour before he got it done.
"Right away, she was taken aback," he said. "My 15-year-old son, however, he was all about it."
Hatsburg was gutted by Romney's defeat to incumbent President Obama.
"I'm the guy who has egg all over his face, but instead of egg, it's a big Romney/Ryan tattoo. It's there for life."
The Republican was hopeful the tattoo would become relevant again in four years' time.
"No, I won't be removing or covering up the "R" masterpiece embedded in my mug,"
Hatsburg told nzherald.co.nz. "As for any more political tats with any hope Marco Rubio will run in 2016 and my big R will remain pertinent."
He told Politico said the Republican Party needed to reform in order to appeal more to young voters.
Hatsburg hopes the tattoo will open doors in the entertainment business.

SHREVEPORT (AP) — A homeless man is in critical condition after being attacked by a machete-wielding man in west Shreveport.
Police say they responded to a call about a brush fire just before 11 p.m. Tuesday near a homeless camp. Upon arrival, police say city firefighters had extinguished the blaze and were treating a man suffering multiple, severe lacerations.
Investigators say 42-year-old Eugene Bunn, of Shreveport, began arguing with another man over where Bunn wanted to kindle a fire. Police say Bunn then allegedly was attacked by 28-year-old Matthew Snider, of Shreveport, who was booked with one count of attempted second-degree murder.
Police spokesman, Cpl. Marcus Hines, says Bunn was hospitalized at LSU Health Sciences Center with potentially life-threatening injuries.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Nuts About Almonds!
We use scoops of sweet ground almonds in many of our skincare products because they create such a wonderful, gentle exfoliation.
We coarsely grind the almonds to create a soft, floury texture which gives a lovely polish to the skin, improving the tone, colour and texture. You can find ground almonds in our best-selling facial cleanser Angels on Bareskin and our most popular Body Butter, Buffy.
We also use almond butter in our products, which is made from raw or toasted almonds, blended to a creamy consistency. Almond butter has a gentle exfoliating action, but it is incredibly softening at the same time and is often recommended for dry skin. We use it where subtle exfoliation and softening are both required, like in our Handy Gurugu Hand Cream.
We obtain almond oil by cold-pressing the kernels. Ordinarily, heat would be applied to yield a higher quantity of oil. In cold-pressing however, it is extracted at cooler temperatures giving oil of a much higher quality. It is an emollient, demulcent and nutritious with a high vitamin E content. Smooth to apply, it leaves a silky feel to the skin. Almond oil is unscented and excellent for the skin.
We use cold-pressed, organic almond oil in our Enchanted eye cream. It leaves the skin silky smooth and is ideal for older skins due to its high vitamin E content. Cosmetic Lad and Skin's Shangri La facial moisturizers both contain cold pressed organic almond oil for its emollient and soothing qualities.

Nigella Lawson has just the recipe for a quick and tasty pasta to whip up at the end of a hot day
Nigellissima may be not in the same league as Nigella Lawson's other bestsellers, How to Eat or How to be a Domestic Goddess, but it still made a respectable number 21 on the UK booksellers' ranking for Christmas sales (for the record, Jamie's 15 Minute Meals made number one, if you care about these things). It may have aroused the ire of a number of British and Italian cookery writers for being "not authentic", or too full of odd ingredients or too full of fat.
But at this time of year, when we sometimes need a quick something light and summery to eat and don't feel like the rigmarole (or meat-heaviness) of a barbecue, this is an easy go-to.
If you have boiling water, pasta in the pantry and some of summer's produce, you can whip up pasta with courgettes, parsley and spring onions (okay, you will have to break into a bottle of white wine, too); blitz fresh cherry tomatoes with anchovy, garlic, capers, sultanas, almonds - Nigella is deeply fond of fruit and nuts - and basil (not even cooked, just stirred over hot fusilli); or stir spaghettini with lemon and garlic breadcrumbs; spaghetti with tuna, lemon and rocket; or her variation on risotto giallo (saffron, parmesan, cream and eggs).
You get the picture. Nigellissima may not fly in Rome or Naples, but in our kitchen it is already happily well-thumbed and splotchy.
I know this sounds like a Dr Seuss recipe (only without the elastic scansion) but it is, as the Italians say, "sul serio", no joke. I have always had a thing about pasta and blue cheese, both separately and in conjunction. This recipe is in many ways an evolution of my pasta with gorgonzola, rocket and pine nuts. I felt the need, or rather a fancy, to sprinkle the deep green of the pasta with the paler pistachios, and I add no creme fraiche or mascarpone (as I used to) since a little pasta cooking water, whisked into the cheese, makes it as creamy as you could wish for. This is not a dietary stance, but because the starchy water doesn't mute the piquancy of the gorgonzola.
If you can't find trottole or radiatori, you do get some of that clingy effect with the curl of fusilli.
Green pasta with blue cheese
Serves two hungry people
250g trottole verde or any curled pasta of choice
salt for pasta water
125g gorgonzola piccante, crumbled or chopped
100g baby or salad spinach leaves
freshly ground pepper, slightly coarser than regular, if possible
3 x 15ml tbsp chopped pistachio nuts
1 Heat water in a pan for the pasta, salting it when it comes to the boil, then add the pasta and cook according to packet instructions, but checking three minutes before it's meant to be done. This needs to be really al dente, because it will carry on cooking as you make the sauce.
2 Before draining the pasta, remove a cupful of pasta-cooking liquid, then tip the drained pasta back in the hot pan with two tablespoonfuls of the liquid, the crumbled cheese and the baby spinach, and give a good grinding of coarse black pepper. Put the lid on the pan - off the heat, though back on the stove - and leave to stand for two minutes.
3 Remove the lid, turn the heat back on low, and stir the pasta, cheese and spinach together, along with as much of the cupful of cooking liquid as you need - I find 100ml total is about right - until the cheese is melted into a light sauce and the spinach wilted.
4 Take off the heat, toss with about two-thirds of the chopped pistachios and divide between two warmed bowls, sprinkling each bowl with the remaining nuts. Serve immediately.

Hello Beeks
I am a newbie in ABQ, NM. I have been following posts in this forum since January. After much research, a few books, a few meetings with the local Beeks, and finding a great mentor who lives only a mile away as the bees fly, I bought my first Langstroth and installed my fees on April 9. My bees are very happy and I have a new addiction. Today or tomorrow I will be pulling out the box the bees were packaged in and replacing it with more frames.
The weather has been perfect and today is glorious. Is it best to work on the hive in morning, evening or mid day? Mid day doesn't seem right as they are really active then. My mentor is out of town, so I'm seeking advice here.
BTW - The swarms have been happening here for a few weeks, but they are in full swarm mode right now. My mentor got 7 swarm calls yesterday, and he is not the only one working the area. We have a big waiting list in town for swarms. There was a lot of winter die off here this year due to a warm Feb, and then many weeks of cold again.

Everything A Newbie Needs To Know About Trials
Okay, so in March there will be some AKC obedience trials coming pretty locally to us. I'm interested in starting to trial some with AKC, but I am COMPLETELY new to the whole showing thing. Anything a newbie might need to know about AKC obedience trialing would be great. Any tips, etc that you can offer would be great.
What class are you entering? Novice Obedience? Pre-novice? Have you taken any classes geared towards a trial?
Definitely find a fun match or Show 'n Go to get a critique before you go to the real trial. I learned about "Handler Error" at a special training class for AKC obedience. There is so much to the details. Definitely read and understand every word in the AKC Obedience regulations about the class you are entering. It explains what judges are looking for and scoring.
Read the rule book.... then read it again:)
I'll be entering the Beginner Novice A, since neither me or my dog has earned a title in any AKC sport before. Any other special tips like for on show day and at the show? Or special tips in preparation?
I'm always happy to see someone interested in competing! Obedience numbers have declined over the years and getting people to participate in the sport is what keeps it going. I'm excited for you!
Others have already given you some good info.
Anyway, please read AKC's "Getting Started in Obedience" and the rules and regulations.
I also found some helpful advice here:
How to prepare your dog for obedience trials | Fanny's Clicker Dog Blog
I hope you can find someone to show you the ropes. You will need to fill out the entry form correctly and make sure it's in by the closing date.
Find a good training group that's geared to AKC obedience. If you're able to go watch a show, go for it!
You'll need a crate to put your dog in at the show and bring a chair. You want to get there early to get your dog acclimated to the environment.
Train in all kinds of locations with distractions.
As a newbie, I started with the AKC Canine Good Citizen test. I then took a rally obedience class and a friend suggested I go to a trial. Took 1st place first time in the ring and was hooked.
I'm glad I started in rally because it was a lot less pressure on me and fun for my dog. I got to get a feel for the show environment and saw how things worked.
Then there's ring nerves. That's the stressful, anxious feeling that happens to people at trials. Dogs pick up on this nervous energy and it effects their performance. I'm on my 4th RAE leg and finished the CDX title this summer and have done well, but I still have trouble keeping myself calm and relaxed for my dogs sake.
Best of luck to you!
One thing I learned... take a cover for your crate. My first dog barked.... a LOT.... when not covered.
I really thought you would get a lot of feedback on this topic. But since only a few of us have commented here you go!
I don't think you have a lot of competition training experience?
As the other poster mentioned, starting with a CGC is often a good way.
AKC's Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Program - Searchable Calendar
Attending a show to watch is very helpful. At least view some videos on Youtube of the level you are going for. CGC, Rally, Obedience BN or CD.
AKC.org has a ton of good information. I wasn't kidding about reading the rule book. Used to be, one could be ordered for around $8. Highly recommend.
What other specific issues are you looking for? How is training going so far?
I found that working in Petco or Petsmart was a super way to prepare for the AKC trial ring.
Thank you guys for all of the advice. Since my adopting out Grace (the rescued breeding female) I've been able to get a really nice black AKC registered female named Nyx. She will be turning a year old on the 20th of November (this month) and the people that had her before us were only hobby breeders and didn't really do any training with her. She'll be the one that I go after any obedience titles with. So far in the two weeks that I've had her she's learned sit really well and now we are working on the "down" command. She was pretty shy when she first got here and I'm thinking it's probably just a fear period that she may have been going through because now she's coming out of her shell and is really getting confident. The only problem I have with finding a training club that's geared toward AKC obedience are the ones that are putting on the trials in March. They are within driving distance for a trial, but for training every week and gas the way it is here, I don't think I could make it worth the drive just going maybe once a month. Although, if it's something that may benefit Nyx and I, it is something I would consider. Do most training clubs have specific membership fees? I've also put in my membership application and paid the membership fee for joining the GSDCA, but have yet to hear anything back from them.
What area are you in?
I go to a place to train in a group, we all support each other and watch each other in the ring.
There are people in our group that have OTCH's on their dogs and their helpful hints are worth their weight in gold.
So if you can get into a good group to train with it would be really helpful
She may just be settling in, or she may not have a very bold temperament. It is good that she is becoming more comfortable.
I have found that walks at the park are a wonderful way to build your relationship and start to develop training skills. I keep my clicker and treats with me. Every-time she looks at you, click, then give a reward. If she is uncomfortable with strangers, cars, dogs, whatever.... move off of the path a bit and give treats. She will start to look to you when someone approaches, then you can click/reward for her attention to you.
You can also practice recalls. As she walks out, call her name, when she responds, click/reward.
This teaches her to be comfortable when out, to always look to you, and that good things happen when her focus is you.
Training clubs vary greatly in cost and quality, and the two are not always correlated:).
I trained my first dog up to RA, and his BH without being a member of an official club. However I did have dog-friends that trained and we met and helped each other.
And if you are in south Kentucky, Nashville has a good club.

Trafficking in persons for the purpose of removal of organs is addressed by the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. The inclusion of this form of exploitation into the Protocol is intended to cover those situations where a person is exploited for the purposes of a trafficker obtaining profit in the 'organ market', and situations where a person is trafficked for the purpose of the removal of their organs and/or body parts for purposes of witchcraft and traditional medicine. This paper has been prepared to provide some broad background material for the workshop on this issue wich took place during the Vienna Forum.

Sophia Bush Not Shy About Showing Her PussyFriday, October 24th, 2008
It seems that Sophia Bush isn't holding back anymore when it comes to getting her core audience tittilated and lusting for her next appearance in mainstream media. I mean, what else would she be baring her tits and pussy for, as seen in these images? Well, she could be doing it because she's having a good time expressing her sexuality, but whatever the reason, we're just as happy as aroused clams that she's doing it.
If you've got a tent in your pants staring at these pictures of Sophia Bush naked and half-naked, then I don't blame you. She's just one of those brunette cuties that every guy fantasizes about, and I guess some of that is because of the roles she takes on as the popular girl in class, or the hottie from the 'in crowd'. That's her role on "One Tree Hill", and even on "John Tucker Must Die", and daydreaming about that type of girl is natural for any guy.
With Sophia though, it's more like wet dreams that we're having. Her tits are so firm and perky, without being too large or too small, and her body's nice and tight with the nubileness of youth. That's why Sophia Bush nude is something any horndog out there can enjoy, even though he may not be a fan or even know anything about her career. All you need to see is her naked body and you're sold!

More hugs for Blades. Sorry, I just wasn't that impressed with that program. IMO it doesn't suit her. Joannie is not the seductive type and there was nothing on her face until the end to fit the mood of that number. The performance was fine but not as superior as the score indicates.
I missed most of this comp. Very annoyed to miss Mirai and Caroline, and my internet connection died in the middle of Alissa's skate. What I saw looked incredibly slow and cautious to me, though.
The French announcer(s) are funny! "OOOOOOOOHHHH, laaa!" I can't understand most of what they're saying but I love hearing them emote. They seem to be equal opportunity emoters.

Interesting, although not at all surprising. I've never had a MySpace page, although I did have a Facebook page for a little while - maybe a year. That was under a nickname, too. I appreciate my privacy and don't have time for virtual nudges and snowball fights and posting meaningless "HEY, LOOK AT ME" statements. It used to make me sad to see all my friends crying out for attention. LOL!
The problem with those sites is, you put yourself out there and anyone can look. It's scary, if ya ask me!

Madras mourns farmer killed by lightning beneath tree
Returning on motorcycle ride, they had taken cover in storm
MADRAS, Ore. - A long-time Madras farmer was killed and his wife injured Sunday afternoon when lightning struck the large tree they took shelter under during an intense thunderstorm along Highway 97 about 20 miles north of Madras, Jefferson County Sheriff Jim Adkins said Monday.
The victims were identified as Bret Hemenway, 50, and wife Connie Hemenway, 49, who were heading south on the highway, apparently on separate motorcycles.
They were returning to their home on Danube Drive in Madras after a two-day ride over Mt. Hood and down the Columbia Gorge, through The Dalles and Hood River, Adkins said.
Neighbor Jack Skipper told NewsChannel 21 the Hemenways were taking a weekend getaway before they would have to devote most of September to their crops.
"He had just bought a new motorcycle," Skipper said. "He and his wife had two days so they could take off and have a little fun before they started doing haying."
Connie Hemenway told deputies they had stopped at the Cow Canyon rest area to wait out the storm, which was pelting the region with heavy rain, hail, wind and hundreds of lightning strikes.
When there was a break in the storm, they continued south, but Connie Hemenway said the storm had started again, so they stopped near milepost 75 and took cover under a large tree.
"Connie said that while under the tree, she saw a blue light and felt extreme pain in her left arm," Adkins wrote in a news release.
"Connie was blown backwards and said that Bret was still leaning against the tree and not moving," the sheriff said.
Connie Hemenway was able to move her right arm and was able to call 911 for help, but was unable to get a response from Bret, Adkins said.
"What's the odds of that?" Skipper said of the lightning strike. "Everybody that knew Bret will miss him. He was a very good friend."
Jefferson County dispatchers got the call at 4:18 p.m., and deputies and medics arrived at the location roughly seven minutes later, Adkins said. They performed CPR on Hemenway but were unable to revive him.
Connie Hemenway was taken by ambulance to St. Charles-Madras for treatment of her injuries, and once stabilized at the hospital was informed of the tragic news about her husband, Adkins said.
A hospital spokeswoman confirmed Monday that she had been treated and released.
Jack Skipper owns a farm right near the Hemenways. He said Bret was leasing his land to turn a larger hay crop.
"He was the hardest-working individual that I think I've ever been around," Skipper said. "Bret gave me a lot of good advice on how to put up quality alfalfa."
Skipper said the storm was one of the worst he'd seen in his more than 10 years in Central Oregon. But the flattened crops and ripped up trees around the community don't mean a thing, by comparison.
"It took its toll, but that's all replaceable," Skipper said.
Out in the small farming community, neighbors are spread out, but everybody is coming together.
Soon Bret's crops will be ready for harvest, and these farmers take care of their own.
"We've stressed to them, if they need help, call. Because we'll be there," Skipper said.
Skipper said several farmers, including himself, will be pitching in to harvest the Hemenways' hay.
The Oregon Hay Growers Association's Website listed the Hemenways as 'Oregon Hay King' winners in 2001. Online listings indicate Hemenway also ran an equipment repair business.
Bret Hemenway's Facebook page said he'd been a Madras farmer since 1980 and was a Cottage Grove native who studied at Lane Community College. Connie Hemenway's page said she is an educational assistant with the Jefferson County School District and is also from Cottage Grove.

I'm in the process of making a some new topbar hives. Should have a couple close to finish today to post photos on-line. I would like some feedback on what you all think. I always buy nucs so have design it so that nuc frames will fit a space for 8 frame brood box in TPH on one end.
Then the topbars from top to bottom of hive about 7" depth. So that means one end of TBH is higher than the main body. One end of the hive the additional height is above main body of hive and in another TBH below main body of hive. Below the main body makes for a better fit of cover (one piece). Don't think it makes any difference to bees but wanted to check to see what you think. I was going to use a screen full length & width of hive but wonder if it would let in to much daylight and if it would effect bees in the hive? Ok, hope to post photos later today. This is a great site! Off to the workshop.

So I go to TCU here in Fort Worth. I'm able to see upclose and with with a complete bias our players here on our football team. While our offense has been terrible this year there are great underclassmen that we should watch for on our offense. Our defense on the other hand is great. GP is a great defenseive mind.
Devonte Field # 95 is my favorite defensive end right now on our team. he is a true freshman and i think that it would be wise to watch this kid, he has good speed, size, and he has a natural ability to wipe offensive linemen off and get to the ball.
An offensive player that i would like to watch is Brandon Carter, he is a Sophomore, top recruit out of Euless Trinity, a footbal factory here in TX. I think he is a one of the better slot recievers in the B12.
What do y'all think.
Here is Brandon Carter
i couldnt find any highlight reels..

I've been raising the difficulty level with my pooch....distance (give the command from further and further away)....distractions (I'll cue her and then run past her clapping and waving a bone in her face)..duration (I want her to hold the position for three minutes) Today, I cued her, from about 25 feet away, to sit-stay on the deck...I went back in the house, came back with a cooking pot...which I threw way up in the air so that it CLANGED down about 10 feet away from her. I did this a few more times...threw the pot higher, clapped my hands when it hit the deck...etc... She didn't even flinch. Good dog. Jackpot reward. A few minutes later she trotted past me carrying a bird that looked like it has been dead for a while... as if to say.. "Hey buddy, this is what I think of your sit-stay" or perhaps she wanted to practice "sit-stay" with the bird just to show me that she's a better trainer than me. "You wanna see a 'sit-stay'??

The Top 50 Restaurants in Canada
A restaurant that had been put up for sale during its early days, whose first landlord complained about the smell of the cooking and which nearly shut down after only two months has risen to be the best restaurant in Canada.
Vij's in Vancouver was ranked No. 1 in the inaugural Vacay.ca Top 50 Restaurants in Canada List, a first-ever national ranking of the nation's restaurants that was published in April 2012. This survey of 15 judges who include leading food writers, industry insiders and culinary aficionados from across the country, as well as the general public. When told of the news earlier this year, Vij's proprietor, Vikram Vij, said he was "overjoyed."
Long before this accolade, Vij's was a unique Canadian success story. When it opened in September 1994, Vij served as cook, host and waiter to the handful of customers who came into the original location on West Broadway. Business was so light, the restaurant was put up for sale and Vij contemplated closing it, in part because the landlord fretted over the odour of the Indian food.
"He said it smells. It hurt my feelings. I remember thinking that I should go back to cooking French food," said Vij, who previously worked at Bishop's, one of Vancouver's landmark fine-dining spots.
Now, patrons routinely wait 90 minutes for a seat in Vij's on 11th Avenue in the city's South Granville neighbourhood. Critics around the world have lauded the restaurant, its cookbooks are bestsellers in Canada and its owner has risen to the status of celebrity chef.
1. Vij's, Vancouver, British Columbia
Website: www.vijs.ca. Phone: 604-736-6664. Cuisine: Indian.
Price range: $24-$28.50 for main courses.
Steve Dolinsky says: "Seriously, can anyone in North America even come close to offering the nuance and complexity of Indian food like Vikram Vij? He does it in one of the most laid-back dining rooms, despite the seriousness with which he approaches regional Indian food, while constantly checking in on guests -- even serving snacks to those waiting outside. I have literally re-routed my flights to have enough layover time in Vancouver so I could make the pilgrimage."
Read Vacay.ca's report on Vij's and more coverage of the Top 50 Restaurants List
You must order: Wine-marinated Lamb Popsicles ($28.50).
2. Langdon Hall, Cambridge, Ontario
Website: www.langdonhall.ca. Phone: 519-740-2100. Cuisine: Canadian.
Price range: $34-$49 for main courses.
Adrian Brijbassi says: "Jonathan Gushue demonstrates that Canadian cuisine exists -- and it wouldn't look out of place at the head of an international table of dishes."
See the video and read more of the Vacay.ca report on Langdon Hall
You must order: White-tailed Ontario Deer with Chestnuts, Smoked Venison Bacon, Anjou Pear and more ($49).
3. Joe Beef, Montreal, Quebec
Website: www.joebeef.ca. Phone: 514-935-6504. Cuisine: Steak & Seafood.
Price range: $31-$50 for main courses.
Steve Dolinsky says: "One of the great things about the new wave of talent in the food industry has been the emergence of 'fuck you' restaurants. I mean that in a good way. They're the places where you dine at the chef's whim. There are no substitutions; you don't get the dressing on the side; the eggs are already jellied and the offal is already poached. If you don't like it, too bad, because there's a line of people waiting to get in who are eager to explore the menus, jam-packed with bold flavours. Joe Beef is a little like this."
You must order: Whatever is the special that night
4. The Black Hoof, Toronto, Ontario
Website: www.theblackhoof.com. Phone: 416-551-8854. Cuisine: Charcuterie.
Price range: Share plates, $8-$25
Renée Suen says: "Once a culinary mecca for the offal bits, 'The Hoof' as it's so affectionately called, has soared to new heights now that chef de cuisine Brandon Olsen is at its helm. Although the focus is still on the nasty bits (and they still don't take reservations), brilliant numbers like Blood Custard and Foie & Nutella have become new signatures beside the standard Tongue on Brioche that its ex-executive chef (Grant van Gameren) made famous."
You must order: Foie & Nutella ($25).
5. Atelier, Ottawa, Ontario -- PEOPLE'S CHOICE WINNER 2012!
Website: www.atelierrestaurant.ca. Phone: 613-321-3537. Cuisine: Avant Garde Fine Dining.
Price range: Set price for tasting menu: $95.
Vacay.ca Reader Melanie Jadore says: "What a great idea -- a top 50 list for Canadian restaurants! If I only get one vote, I have to vote for Atelier in Ottawa, the best meal of my life."
You must order: The tasting menu, of course! It's constantly changing.

|Summary Tape File 3 -> Summary Tape File 3 -- Part II -> Glossary -> Fuel
The types of combustible matter most often used for house heating, water heating, and cooking in occupied housing, units, tabulated separately. The term "house heating" applies to all types of structures, including apartment buildings. These items were asked on a sample basis.
Utility gas
Gas piped underground from a central system (public utility company, municipal government, or the like) that serves the neighborhood.
Bottled, tank, or LP gas
Bottled, tank, or liquefied petroleum gas stored in tanks which are refilled or exchanged when empty.
Fuel oil, kerosene, etc
Fuel oil, distillate, residual oil, kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, and other combustible liquids and semi-fluids.
Purchased wood, wood cut by household members on their property or elsewhere, driftwood, sawmill or construction scraps, or the like.
Other fuel
All other fuels not specified elsewhere, including purchased steam, fuel briquettes, coal dust, waste materials such as corncobs, etc. Households that use solar energy as the prime source of fuel are also included in this category. In certain tabulations of limited detail, coal or coke, wood and sometimes fuel oil and kerosene are combined and shown as either "other fuel" or "other.
No fuel used
Includes the three definitions below.
- In house heating fuel data--the number of housing units that are not heated;
- in water heating fuel data--the number of housing units without piped hot water; and
- in cooking fuel data --the number of housing units with no cooking equipment in the unit.
Exclusive Fuel Used
Use of only one type of fuel for house heating, water heating and cooking, ascertained for occupied housing units. The types of exclusive fuel used shown separately are utility gas and electricity. The residual category "other" includes all occupied housing units where utility gas or electricity were not the fuel used exclusively for the three purposes--house heating, water heating, and cooking.
A test survey taken before the census showed moderate to large biases in the question on fuels used. A 1970 census evaluation study found that electricity was overreported as a house heating fuel and that fuel oil and kerosene were underreported in the 1970 census.
Historical comparability
Similar data have been collected on cooking and house heating since 1940 and on water heating since 1960.

Two Synths in One
The SY 22 incorporates two synthesis systems: AWM and FM. AWM "Advanced Wave Memory" is sophisticated sampling technology that allows high-fidelity reproduction of digitally recorded "live" sound. FM is Yamaha's proven Frequency Modulation synthesis technology that is capable of creating extraordinarily warm, vibrant simulations of actual instruments, as well as an infinite variety of orginal sounds. The vector synthesis system brings these two tone generation systems together.
Sonic "Building Blocks"
With 128 preset AWM waveforms and 256 preset FM waveforms the SY22 provides an extensive library of sonic "building blocks" from which to create new voices.
Vector Control
Vector Control can be used to control either level or detune along a vertical axis if a 2-element voice is selected, or along both the vertical and horizontal axis if a 4-element voice is selected. Moving the control towards one element increases the pitch of that element while decreasing the pitch others. This helps produce a broad range of expressive effects.
Dynamic Vectors
Dynamic level and detune vectors can be recorded easily in real-time.
Indepth or Instant Voice Editing
A wide range of programming parameters allows you to shape the individual elements in a voice to match your musical requirements. This enables you to program complex amplitude envelopes for each element from scratch, choose from a range of preset generic envelopes that can be edited later for fine control, or simply use the original envelopes that are included with the SY22's internal waveforms.
Ready-to-Play Preset Voices
64 superb preset voices can be played right away without programming or altered and modified through the SY22 vector control functions if one wants to inject their own original expression into their music
Overlapping Voice Selection
If you select a new voice while holding notes on the keyboard, the held notes will continue playing the previous voice while subsequently played notes will use the new voice. This provides smooth switching between voices without unnatural sound cutoff or gaps, and makes it possible to play several voices at once by holding a note or two, selecting a new voice, holding a couple more notes, selecting a second voice, and so on.
Multi-timbre Mode
In addition to normal voice play mode, the SY22 features a multi-play mode in which up to 8-part multi-play mode perfect for sequencer driven applications and layered multi-voice performance.
Built-in Drums
The SY22 supplies a complete drum and percussion kit in the form of a single voice making an extra drum machine unneccessary.
Built-in Effects
The SY22 provides direct access to 16 effect programs including reverb, delay, early reflection, and distortion.
Complete MIDI Implementation
The SY22 has a complete set of MIDI parameters for maximum compatibility and versatility.
Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels
Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels.
Stereo Output
SY22's stereo outputs enable a variety of stereo effects since each element in any voice can be panned to any position in the stereo sound field.
LED Display
A large, bright 7-segment LED voice/multi number display is easy to read even in low stage or studio lighting.
LCD Display
16-character x 2-line backlit LCD is easier on the eyes.
Master Volume Control and Headphone Jack
Master volume control and headphone jack.

Unlicensed spectrum
Although the main use of spectrum is for communication purposes, there are also other uses such as cooking food in microwave ovens, medical applications, garage door openers and so on. Some frequency bands are allocated for these purposes in what is known as the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands. This spectrum usage is normally for short distance applications.
A breakthrough occurred in 1985 when the Federal Commission of Communications (FCC), the agency that oversees the spectrum in the U.S., allowed use of this spectrum for communications applications, provided that the transmission power was kept to a very low level to minimize interference. People could freely use these "unlicensed" bands without applying for a license, provided that the equipment used had been certified by an authorized laboratory that ensured compliance with interference mitigation measures. It is a mistake to imagine that unlicensed spectrum is a complete free-for-all, that it is unregulated. It is precisely the detailed technical regulation of unlicensed devices that makes it possible for them to co-exist together. Probably most significant factor in this respect is the fact that unlicensed devices are regulated to have comparatively low power outputs to limit their ability to interfere with each other.
As the ISM or unlicensed bands were opened to data communication, several manufactures began taking advantage of this opportunity to offer equipment that could communicate among computers without the need for cables. Wireless data networks covering significant geographic areas were built.
Note that open spectrum used in unlicensed bands cannot prevent interference issues, especially in very crowded areas. Nevertheless, open spectrum has proven a success for short distance applications in cities and for long distance applications as well in rural areas.
It is therefore advisable to investigate new forms of spectrum allocation, taking into consideration the needs of many stakeholders and strike a balance among them. Recent advances in technology make a dynamic spectrum allocation mechanism a feasible alternative.
As an analogy, the current method of spectrum allocation is similar to a railway system, the railroads can be idle a considerable amount of time. The dynamic spectrum allocation is akin to the highway system that can be used at all times by different users.

Reviews of this property
There is no better place to stay for a couple who wants to visit rome as a tourist. 10-30 min to every sightseeing place in rome and Vatican. Also you are staying very close to Piazza Navona the place is silent enough, so that you can sleep (if you want). And if there are problems - help is very soon on it's way! - we had problems with the gas heater and as usual it was sunday - 2 hours later Manuela was there with a man who fixed the problem within minutes. The communication was done via WhatsApp, WiFi was working perfect, and ... . What shall I say - we had nothing negativ found. Therefore I gave 5 stars.
We - this is me an my two sons, 12 and 14 years old - spend nine days in August 2015 in Manuelas appartment. It was absolutely the ideal place for us. It is more spacious than the square meter number may suggest and it has everything we needed: good beds, flawlessly working installations and ample equipment, even a dehumidifier which came handy after we got soaked in a thunderstorm and had to dry lots of textile at once. Yes, the place may not have much of a view, but in exchance for that we were in a quiet (this ist next to Piazza Navona!) little alleyway from where virually all sites of intra muros Rome are in easy working distance.
The service that Manuela and her people provided was spotless. The place was superclean and if you are there for longer than a week, someone comes for cleaning and changing towels and sheets. The timing for that was easily arranged by email. And speaking of communications: my kids very much enjoyed the fast WLAN.
some difficulty (of a language) in order to enter the 1st time .... ligne70 take the bus;
Very nicely decorated apartment, ideally located in a small alley in the peace;
just small problem, but the lack of window did not stay long ns in the apartment;
un peu de difficulte (du a la langue) pour y acceder la 1ere fois....prendre le bus ligne70;
appartement tres joliement decore,et idéalement situe dans une petite ruelle au calme;
juste petit bemol, le manque de fenetre mais ns ne restions pas longtemps dans l appartement;
The apartment was excellent. Very well it located and very clean. In addition Manuela showed us the quickest and cheapest way to get from Fiumicino. When we arrived we had left Manuela food in the kitchen to settle an emergency.
If we return to Rome certainly it is a great option.
El apartamento fue excelente. Muy bien ubicado y muy limpio. Además Manuela nos indicó el modo más rápido y barato para llegar desde Fiumicino. Cuando llegamos Manuela nos había dejado comida en la cocina para poder apañar una urgencia.
Si volvemos a Roma sin duda es una gran opción.

You, Me, and Label Makes Three: Fashion's Coupled-Up Designers
One of the original e-luxury shopping destinations, boasting brands such as Valentino, Stella McCartney, and Calvin Klein Collection, the site's perfected the online shopping experience. To note, it's just re-launched its weekly magazine, The Edit, and includes a fun map function to see what items are being added to shopping carts around the globe at any given moment. Future brides should click over, too: There's a nicely packaged section of pieces for both the big day and the honeymoon.
ELLE Editor Picks:
1. Valentino The Rockstud Trapeze Bag, $2,195; net-a-porter.com
2. Nicholas Kirkwood Zigzag Print Suede Pumps, $695; net-a-porter.com
3. Preen Tyler Leopard Jacquard Top, $880; net-a-porter.com
Adding things to your cart takes a backseat to perusing original features on this style destination, with trend collages and interviews with the likes of Nasty Gal's Sophia Amoruso and Leandra Medine available for reading (a sample highlight from the Man Repeller post: "I buy shoes probably once a week.") The opportunity to actually click and buy pops up rather randomly, hence the paranormal name, but when it does, the heavy-handed curation is good. Expect pieces from "it" girl brands like Proenza Schouler, Opening Ceremony, and Alexander Wang.

What if the Giants traded up with the Cleveland Browns for the 4th selection and took Trent Richardson?
What do you think Reese would have to give up? 2 1st rounders? This year's 2nd? Maybe a player or two?
What kind of impact do you think Trent would have on this offense? Would he take the Giants to the next level?
Yeah I know it isn't going to happen and you never really trade up for a RB but you have to admit that would be a sick offense. Just curious how people would react if that happened.
