Design by George Nelson, 1947. Without question, the George Nelson Bubble Lamp Criss Cross Pendant is a tried-and-true standard of the modern vocabulary. George Nelson designed the first lamps in 1947. These lamps, with their simple sculptural shapes, are constructed of an innovative taut plastic that coats a steel wire-frame. Nelson's unique design and ingenious use of materials prove to eliminate glare and provide an abundant, yet diffused light. A quality which alone is unique to this material. From the forming of the wire-frame, to the spraying of the vinyl form, one-by-one, each Bubble Lamp is constructed to last decades and each Bubble Lamp is built to George Nelson?s original specifications. These famous lamps are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Brushed nickel canopy. Each pendant comes with 6 feet of wire that can be field shortened.

George NelsonWhen writing about the course of his remarkable 50-year career, George Nelson described a series of creative "zaps" — moments of out-of-the-blue inspiration "when the solitary individual finds he is connected with a reality he never dreamed of." Nelson said that for a designer to deal creatively with human needs, "he must first make a radical, conscious break with all values he identifies as anti-human." Designers also must constantly be aware of the consequences of their actions on people and society. In fact, he declared that "total design is nothing more or less than a process of relating everything to everything." So he said that rather than specializing, designers must cultivate a broad base of knowledge and understanding. Nelson did so as few are able, and, with the help of well-timed zaps, he helped define modern, humane design.

Customer Reviews
Smart, Attractive and excellent lighting
We enjoy the chandelier for its design, and decor. By:WILLIAM H. , Homeowner (St. Augustine, Fl)
Beautiful lamp, easy to install delivered promptly as promised.
We deliberated over which Nelson lamp to buy and where. DWR was the same price but charged for shipping (it wasn't available in their stores). I was pleased with the service and promptness. By:David G. , Homeowner (Chicago)
Even better than I expected
The lamp is even more dramatic and beautiful than I expected - a great addition in a large kitchen nook are. It's a bit like having design from the "Jetsons" in the house! I'm pleased enough with this purchase that I'm considering another shape of this design for a hall fixture. By:RichardN , Homeowner (Hayward, CA, USA)
Beautiful Modern Classic at Affordable Price
We're architects, and when it came time to find just the perfect pendant light for the table in the breakfast room of our 1925 bungalow, we knew to immediately go to YLighting.com. We just clicked on the "Ceiling + Pendant Light" category and were able to narrow down our selection in moments. The Nelson Criss Cross Bubble Lamp is even more beautiful and finely crafted than the cut sheet suggests - a tremendous value from an excellent company. When we needed a longer cord for our 10'-0" ceiling, the folks at Modernica responded immediately and courteously. We're very pleased with our purchase all the way around. By:Adrienne M. , Architect (Columbia, SC, USA)
Beautiful Pendant - Delivered Quickly
This is a classic pendant, so you pretty much know what you're getting if you've seen one before - but the most important thing is the quality of service and the speed of delivery... both of which were wonderful... By:Miguel M. , Architect (Brooklyn, NY)
Chic Lighting
Love this lamp! Easy installation and a great look. Shipping was efficient. By:Amy L. , Homeowner (Chicago)
Love it!
It's beautiful, and affordable. It took a while to arrive, but the wait was worth it. I would do business with YLighting again. By:Silvia T. , Homeowner (Williamsburg, VA)
A modern classic to rediscover.
The George Nelson Cross Lamp pendant is as interesting today as it was when introduced in 1947. Even more so when illuminated (the cross wire architecture shows through the exterior membrane). By:Dean W , Homeowner (Palm Springs, CA)
Beautiful remake of a classic!
This lamp is absolutely flawless. A timeless classic that is as perfect as the original. The fiberglass body is flexible, which I hadn't anticipated... but it really adds to the glow. Highly recommended. By:jdmc (San Francisco, CA)
Great Product. Absolutely Beautiful.
The website experience was great because it was very detailed with a schematic information which help me during the remodeling process. By:Vince L. , Homeowner (Solana Beach, CA)
A wonderful purchase!
I have dreamed of owning this lamp for a couple of years now. We recently moved into our first home and we finally had the place for the Crisscross Bubble Lamp. It is beautiful when the light is off, but even more beautiful when it is lit up. We used a compact Fluorescent bulb because we wanted a really white light and it looks fantastic. We just put it up and cannot stop staring at it! Ylighting was very fast and the lamp came in perfect condition. We went to our local DWR and with tax and shipping the lamp was $397, so going through Ylighting was a tremendous savings. By:Nicole D. , Homeowner (Shelby Twp., Michigan)
The perfect lamp for us!
The nelson bubble lamp is so beautiful! It was easy to install and has added so much to our dining area. Ylighting was wonderful and shipped quickly and our bubble lamp arrived in perfect condition. The crisscross lamp and Ylighting are both highly recommended. By:Marc D. (Shelby Township)
Great classic choice
This light is perfect in our dining room space. We have mid-century home but our in-laws bought the same light for their beach house (not so contemporary) and it looks equally good. Very versatile and an instant upgrade. By:miranda w. , Homeowner (Portland, OR)
I have coveted this lamp forever... And have finally found the right place for it in my new apartment.
The experience with Y Lighting has been superior in terms of ordering, shipment, and communication every step of the way to getting the lamp... By:Cynthia C. , Homeowner (San Francisco)
Classic design, solid construction and great attention to detail.
As a furniture designer/builder I have a keen eye for quality and construction of the Modernica made nelson lamps are up to par. The look is nothing new, but works so well in so many situations, combined with the relatively low cost it's hard to go wrong. We are happy with our purchase. By:seth d. , Homeowner (chicago, il ,usa)
Timeless Classic, fast delivery
you can't go wrong with a Nelson lamp. First time ordering from YLighting and everything went well. Great email notifications and fast delivery. Glad I decided to buy from them than that "something about reach" place. By:RCheung , Homeowner (LA)
This is a cool lamp with a little more unique twist than the usual saucer Nelson lamp and I think it's great.
Came quicker than expected in great shape (packed well). A different material makes-up the skin than I had expected, but it great nonetheless! Definitely recommend Y Lighting and this lamp to add something a little different than the normal bubble lamp that everyone seems to have. I definitely dig the criss-cross pattern. By:Alec T. , Homeowner (Boston, MA)
So simple, yet makes such a statement.
Huge improvement over the hideous brass fixture that used to disgrace our dining room! Love the competitive pricing, free shipping and no tax that YLighting offers! By:Jocelyn , Homeowner (Philadelphia, PA)
Love this light fixture!
We ordered this for our dining room. It looks great in our 1800's home over our cherry shaker dining table. Nice soft light, perfect for dining and also for atmosphere in the room. Great service from YLighting - fast shipping, good price. AND we saw this light fixture on "Desperate Housewives" last week... By:MT , Homeowner (Cambridge MA)
Beautiful Pendant!
This is one of my favorite George Nelson Bubble Lights and YLighting offered the best price with free, quick shipping. I installed this over our dining room table and it was the perfect finishing touch to the space. Our kitchen, living room and dining area are all conjoined in an open layout with some very different design choices, but this lamp looks right at home and provides a striking modern accent to the whole house. Easy installation and a great bang for the buck. We simply love it! By:Todd G. , Designer (Brooklyn, NY)
Love the Bubbles.
This is the third Nelson Bubble light we have purchased. By:Margaret R. , Homeowner (Longboat Key)
Beautiful lamp.
This is a classic, beautiful, minimalist lamp. More unique than the Nelson bubble lamp. By:Rock , Homeowner (Alamo)
Love it...
The process of selecting and ordering the fixture from Y Lighting was great. Easy web interface, quick tracking/shipping info, fast delivery. I would order from Y Lighting again as they seem to be both inexpensive and reliable. By:Yumi R. , Homeowner (Boulder, CO)
Loved it!
The lamp is perfect. By:Joel N. , Homeowner (California)
Super Fly TNT!!
My husband & I bought the Nelson lamp as a housewarming gift to ourselves. We were very happy with Ylighting--our lamp was priced better than other places, the shipping was free & it arrived much sooner than expected. In fact, the lamp arrived one day before I got the email that it had shipped! We are extremely pleased with our purchase & it looks wonderful in our new home! By:Felicia J. , Homeowner (Santa Clara, California)
Beautiful modern pendant light for a good price.
We purchased two of the Criss Cross Lamps for the living/dining rooms of our house currently being remodeled. We looked at lots and lots of light fixtures and felt we would never be able to afford something really great. The Criss Cross Lamp is beautiful and definitely has dramatic impact without costing thousands of dollars. We are very happy with the good service and speedy shipping from Y Lighting. By:Sarah G. , Homeowner (seattle)
great product
i was very impressed with the quality By:kenclaire electric , Homeowner (westbury,ny)
Price matched and quick delivery.
I found the light I bought on sale on another site, and sent Y-Lighting an email alerting them to the price. They matched it in 24 hours and I had the product delivered by the end of the week. It couldn't have been a smoother process. By:Matthew L. , Homeowner (Brooklyn, NY)
Classic beauty!
Perfect for our daughter bedroom. Simple & stunning. Love the texture and the light it generates. By:Sophie S. , Homeowner (RPV )
perfect for our project - timeless.
pkg. arrived well packaged and protected - no problems. By:russ herndon design , Designer (bloomington, IN 47401)
The perfect lamp to warm up your modern home.
I needed a lamp to add a sense of warmth and timeless beauty to a very stark and minimal modern home. The light that comes from this lamp is beautiful and soft. And to top it all off, Y Lighting's customer service is great and the super fast, free delivery is extremely helpful. You can't go wrong with this lamp in any home... By:tBone , Designer (Utah)
Looks great
Superfast shipping, product is much studier than I expected. Great experience! I am using this in my fashion showroom, it definitely brings something extra to the ambiance. By:Betty H. , Designer (Pasadena CA)
This lamp fits our style and house perfectly!
The Criss Cross Lamp was easy to install and made a dramatic and immediate impact in our dining area. We love the simple elegance it brings to our space. We highly recommend this lamp. The lamp arrived quickly - it seemed to ship almost immediately. We are so happy with our purchase and would definitely purchase again from ylighting. By:Midcentury in Tucson , Homeowner (Tucson, AZ)
Beautiful modern design
High quality yet inexpensive dining room chandelier. Gives he approopriate amount of soft overheaqd lighting for the dining table. Very attracive design and geometry. By:Edward Z. , Homeowner (Redding, CT)
Great Fun lamp
The lamp is retro, fun and completely makes the room By:RB , Homeowner (San Francisco)
I know you aren't supposed to be materialistic, but this light is literally uplifting and makes me HAPPY!
We are delighted with our new George Nelson light fixture! Not only was it affordable, but the quality is fantastic and your customer service impeccable. It hangs over our breakfast table casting a calm, beautiful glow. Mr. Nelson was obviously an artist. Thank you for making such a beautiful fixture affordable... By:Poppy , Homeowner (Bozeman Montana USA)
Love it!
Perfect for over our dining room table! The light that comes off of this lamp is gorgeous - it illuminates the space without being harsh or too bright. we have it on a dimmer which i love. Shipping was fast and YLighting was fantastic By:Lindsey S , Homeowner (Chicago, IL)
Simple modern light with a lot of style and great price
Got this light for our dining room and it looks great. Very simple yet stylish. By:E D Yu , Homeowner (Acton, ma)
Great Design
This is a beautiful pendant - a classic. The inversions on the criss-cross aren't too pronounced, so it still retains that great saucer shape, but with a bit more visual interest than the plain saucer pendant. Great for a room that is a bit more hip, funky mid-century! By:MARY , Designer (Minneapolis)
Adds a lot of drama to a previously "plain" atmosphere.
We went with the criss cross lamp for the added sculptural effect that the wires provide. 25" in diameter means that the light is the right size to make an statement. I'm not going to tell you about the great service or fast shipping (or the fact the we didn't have to pay taxes!) that we received from ylighting but focus more on the lamp itself. It's beautiful. We have it on a dimmer to tackle the 150W bulb, that way we can dial in the exact mood we want. The lamp is designed in a way that no part of the bulb is directly exposed to you so we can use it over a dinner table without blinding guests. Craftmanship is excellent and the light weights nothing. The material that they use to wrap is more of an hi-end, organic feel.... doesn't look like fabric sprayed with plastic. Quality is very good. It certainly adds the MCM vibe we were after and actually completes the look among the Eames DCW, LCW, Bertoias and Prouves we have around the house. I will totally recommend it. We love it and now we want more! By:Joel P. , Homeowner (Miami, Florida)
Great all around
Well packaged, good service, received a discount for finding a lower price elsewhere. The lamp is great and fits the house perfectly. Highly recommended this organization. By:Shelley S. , Homeowner (Ann Arbor, MI)
I am so, so pleased with my saucer lamp. I had it installed in my son's room. It gave my heart a lift. By:Elaine (Chicago, Illinois)
A gift to our daughter and son-in-law. It looks fantastic in their foyer!
Ordering was easy, price was right, delivered on time and in perfect condition By:PJB , Homeowner (Florida)
Wonderful pendant for a modern dining room
This is a great George Nelson lamp. It adapts well to a contemporary design surrounding it. It is perfectly scaled for a typical sized dining room, and provides a nice warm glow to the room. By:capseaguy32 , Homeowner (Seattle, WA)
I love the criss cross lamp. It looks beautiful and was easy to install. It arrived very fast also.
By:Chanyoung S. , Homeowner (Wyoming)
Awesome Style!
Great contemporary styling. This is a light that will fit anywhere in the home and you will never tire of it. By:Greg M. , Homeowner (Grand Rapids MI)
A classically beautiful design- exactly what we needed.
The Criss Cross light perfectly completes our music room with its gently nuanced ambiance. Visually exciting while still comforting, it also has the benefit of providing a rounded absorptive surface that improves the room acoustics. On line purchase was smooth and convenient, packing/shipping were flawless. Thanks for easy access to a great product. By:Mark F. , Homeowner (Cincinnati, Ohio, USA)
Love this lamp!
I love the simplicity and elegance of this lamp, which allows a full appreciation of its "architectural" underpinnings. By:Anna G. , Homeowner (Austin, TX, USA) I am still in the process of receiving a replacement lamp, but I wanted to assure potential purchasers of YLighting's fantastic customer service. My first lamp arrived with imperfections. YLighting asked for photos and, after they received them, they put in an order for an immediate replacement. I couldn't have been happier with the immediate response and assurance that I wasn't stuck with a $350 defective lamp! Love the design. By:Anissa P. , Homeowner (Portland, ME)
I was reluctant to purchase this fixture because I live in a formal, traditional home. However, I love the contrast in my dining room now between the fixtures and the furniture. It's also on a dimmer switch which is great for dinner parties. I love it! By:Jessica K. , Homeowner (washington)
Great service, great fixture
We are happy with the look and quality of this fixture. We also found ylighting easy and pleasant to work with. The website was easily navigable, prices reasonable, the purchasing process straightforward, and delivery prompt (within 7 days). We will shop at ylighting again. By:kimberly m , Homeowner (asheville NC)
Great Buy!
The George Nelson Criss Cross Lamp is spectacular - I keep getting great comments from friends on it. It is classisc modern - just love it. It came quick and was packed perfectly. YLighting also did a price match for me as I found another site that was cheaper. Without question - they helped me out and overall - it was a great experience. i will definately buy again from YLighting. By:Shamala B. , Designer (San Francisco, CA)
Fabulous Dining Room Light
This light is gorgeous. It looks fabulous over our contemporary glass dining table! The price is very resasonable for such a classic light. By:Sheila B. , Homeowner (st. Louis, MO)
A modern classic
The George Nelson Bubble Lamps are back with a vengeance. They're ubiquitous on teevee, where they're meant to convey that somebody is stylish and hip. They're not something you can pick up at the big box hardware depot. By:Mike J. , Homeowner (Ventura, CA, USA)
Lovely fixture, clean lines & great design.
By:Peggy K. , Designer (New York, NY, USA)
Great Price - fast shipping
This product was delivered so quickly and is exactly as portrayed. Great service and price! By:Sashabean , Homeowner (San Francisco)
Fresh and Modern
This is a timeless fixture that will always have a fresh, modern look. Perfect in the dining room of my mid century home. It was quick and easy to install and looks great. By:D B. , Designer (Seattle)
Good-looking lamp
Best price after doing much research. By:rozik , Homeowner
Crazy about my Nelson Criss Cross Lamp
I'm so happy with the Nelson Criss Cross Lamp I purchased from YLighting. It's beautiful and perfect over our dining table. YLighting matched a price I found on the internet, even to the point of not charging me tax because the other company was out of state. Their service and product are unbeatable! By:Rebecca , Homeowner (Pasadena, CA) Overall pleasing lamp but the indentations are not as pronounced as I had expected. I returned the lamp. YLighting are excellent regarding their return policy - 100% return minus shipping charges. By:Kiran S. , Homeowner (NV)
I love my new criss cross light fixture!
Overall, my experience with ordering my light fixture from YLighting was extremely positive. My order was shipped immediately. The light fixture I ordered was very reasonably priced and the quality/design was excellent...exactly what I had hoped for! By:Christine S. , Homeowner (san mateo, CA USA)
LOVE this fixture
This is a gorgeous fixture with a beautiful sculptural quality; nicely scaled and throws a flattering light over a dining room table whether dimmed or all the way up. Very high quality and easy to install. By:madison (NYC)
I am extremely pleased with the effect of this Lamp in my living room
I am also pleased with how the order was carried out and delivered. By:Shirley B. , Homeowner (Tiburon, CA, USA)
Great fixture, great price!
The fixture arrived quickly and in good condition. It was exactly how it was pictured online. Nothing to complain about! By:PW , Designer (San Francisco)
Love the look!
This fabulous crisscross lamp brings both hip and elegance into our dining room. It looks great with our mid-century modern style. By:Laurie G. (Portland, Oregon)
The Criss Cross fixture is fantastic.
I've wanted this dining area light for quite some time and Y Lighting had a sale on this and other Nelson light fixtures. The price was excellent and the fixture arrived, completely assembled, in short time. By:Patricia D. , Homeowner (Miami Beach, FL USA)
Comfortable with old and new
Needed a pendant lamp that could fit a rather eclectic combination of old and new furniture (antique asian furniture/decor as well as modern Scandinavian), and the Criss Cross Lamp did the trick! By:Boston G. , Homeowner (Boston, MA)
Elegant and cool at the same time
This is our second purchase of the Nelson Criss Cross; our first stayed in a home we just sold. It has always been the perfect balance of design and everyday, formal and casual, hip and classic. My only caution for this particular version of the Nelson bubble lamps is that we found it overwhelmed by the room in our new home, even though the room itself is approximately the same size as the previous one. Because of it's smaller size & fewer vertical lines it has a delicate quality & is overpowered by heavy elements. We'll have to order a larger one for our room and find a new spot for the criss cross... By:paperjodes , Homeowner (Issaquah, WA)
Beautiful lines.
This light worked out wonderfully for our application. It casts off soft beautiful light and is timeless yet contemporary. We were very pleased with YLighting's service from purchase to delivery. Great product! By:Dawn K. , Designer (Spokane Washington)
Beautiful. Easy to install. By:Michael D. , Homeowner (san antonio)
Perfect mid-century statement at the right price.
We just installed this light over our kitchen table during a renovation that mixes modern with mid-century modern. It looks amazing. With a dimmer, the light has a nice glow at various levels. The construction is sound, it isn't as fragile as you might think. Highly recommended, and probably can't be beat for a designer mid-century piece at this price point. By:Shawn T. , Homeowner (DC)
Your food will taste better as you dine under this amazing light!
I've waited for this light for a very long time. We just remodeled and hanging this over our dining table was the perfect final piece for pulling the whole room together. It's sophisticated without being overly pretentious--a chance to marry unique design with function. I'm proud to say my children will grow-up knowing about George Nelson and his work. I did not install it, but my husband did not swear while doing it so take that for what it's worth.... By:Kirsten T. , Homeowner
beautiful lamp
This lamp is so beautiful in my craftsman home. I love the warm, ethereal light. goes with everything. y lighting was great! By:rsa , Homeowner (Oakland, CA)
I feel that this crisscross white lamp has added a refreshing look to our old dining room and makes it look bigger, modern & charming by complementing our newly painted warm wall colors.
Pros: Bought the lamp from YLighting 3 weeks ago and it arrived within 10 days. It met our expectations of helping bring a 21 century look to our dated set up of the 80s and the results are very pleasing. By:Shashi , Homeowner ( Massachusetts)
This is a beautiful light!
I hung this fixture above my dining room table and it's beautiful. We've gotten a lot of compliments, the eye is drawn to it when you walk in the door. And, it gives off a soft glow even with our compact flourescent light bulb, which don't usually give off the warmest light. It did give off a plastic smell for the first few days, I maybe should have let it "air out" outside before hanging it, but otherwise it's perfect! By:Andrea P. , Homeowner (Montpelier, VT)
Nelson Saucer Crisscross pendant light
The pendant light was even more beautiful than I imagined . Very good quality shade and hardware, excellent illumination, and beautiful look. It makes my 60's home look hip...I am so pleased that I am considering a Nelson light for two other rooms. By:Lawrence P. , Homeowner (Seattle)
I absolutely love that it provides a lot of light and is beautiful to look at, a true piece of art.
I am so pleased with the purchase. It was easy to install, and is beautiful to look at. By:Angela O. , Homeowner (new york, new york, usa)
I love it!
I can get over how beautiful my criss cross lamp looks in my dining room. I absolutely love it! By:Rosaura L. , Homeowner (Whittier, ca, USA )
Great looking and well detailed especially for the price!
It was delivered quickly and was straight forward to install. Installed it with dimmer switch (which I recommend) over dining room table. Works well in a modern interior. Love George Nelson stuff! By:Tracey , Architect (San Jose)
This is a very nice, reasonably priced product.
Shipping was fast, the fixture arrived quickly, and was packaged appropriately By:Joseph B. , Architect (Washington, DC, USA)
Perfect for the dining room!
Really works for space! Ideal! By:Andrew M. , Designer (Los Angeles)
My wife and I love the look and the warm glow.
Great looking, unique lamp. Fabric is very durable and cleanable. This is not an knockoff lamp, and the difference in quality is very apparent. By:Eric S. , Homeowner (San Diego)
We just love love love this lamp!
We decided to try a Criss-Cross lamp for a different twist on the traditional Saucer style. It was very easy to install. We recommend a dimmer be used with the lamp. It gives off a wonderful, glare-free light at full wattage; turn the dimmer down to set the mood. We get a happy feeling every time we turn the lamp on, so we leave it on most of the time! Wonderful product and service!! By:George H. , Homeowner (Grand Rapids, MI)
We love love love the lamp!
We decided to try the Criss Cross Saucer for a different twist to the regular Saucer. We were not disappointed! The lamp arrived well-packaged, was easy to install, and gives off an incredible, glare-free light! Recommend installing a dimmer for the lamp. Crank it up for maximum lighting; turn it down to set the mood. Having this light on makes us happy, so it is usually lighting up our dining room! Great product, great Customer Service! By:George H. , Homeowner (Grand Rapids, MI)
Just as you would expect it to be - classic MCM. Several sizes to choose from making it very versatile. Love this light! By:AB , Homeowner (Dallas)
Enjoying every moment with the new lamp.
Sent with great care and timeliness. Thank you. The lamp is truly awesome and looks great in its location. By:Rodolfo S. , Homeowner (Wimberley, TX)

Classic Decorative Fixture
The Saucer Criss Cross Lamp is a bit more dynamic in its form than the some of the other Nelson lamp series. Was a great solution for my client's space. Plus YLighting is so easy to work with. By:Mary Helen P. (Austin, TX USA)
It's beautiful!
It's an awesome light. Bigger than I thought and initially it looks like an spaceship if you hang it too low. It's well built. By:Mike C. , Designer (chicago)
The crisscross is a modern twist to this classic. It's a wonderful addition to my other mid century pieces. I was delighted when it arrived earlier than expected. This was the perfect finish to my eclectic mix. By:Yolanda , Homeowner (Novi MI USA)
Iconic and beautiful
Love the product. I had a little trouble with my debit card durring the ordering process that was annoying, but apparently they got it worked out because my light arrived quickly after I called to figure out what the problem was. By:Michelle H. , Homeowner (Boise, Idaho)
Even the electrician loved it!
I,ve been living with a bare lightbulb in the ceiling fixture for 21 years! No kidding! But the wait was worth it. I bought the medium size lamp and hung it about 14 in. below our 9'5" ceiling. I wasn't sure if it would look right so close to the ceiling, but I took a chance... and it looks positively ethereal! By:Ona D. (chicago IL)
It's a beautiful lamp, easy to clean, maintain, elegant but minimalist, affordable

Love it!
I never knew a lighting fixture could make me feel this way. I'm absolutely giddy over it! Our electrician easily installed it. Great quality, unique and it takes up to a 150 watt bulb so it's actually a functional chandelier. Best purchase I've made in a while! By:Julie S. , Homeowner (Massachusetts)
we were looking for years for this great design and happy to find it eventually for a fair price! By:Maria , Homeowner (San Francisco)

What are the complications of anemia?As mentioned earlier, hemoglobin has the important role of delivering oxygen to all parts of the body for consumption and carries back carbon dioxide back to the lung to exhale it out of the body. If the hemoglobin level is too low, this process may be impaired, resulting in low levels of oxygen in the body (hypoxia). What is the outlook (prognosis) for anemia?Anemia generally has a very good prognosis and it may be curable in many instances. The overall prognosis depends on the underlying cause of anemia, its severity, and the overall health of the patient.

(You must LOVE Guns of Summer)
Well in that case don't buy Push Push, I think it's awesome, but since you need everything to be complex or not "too repetitive", you would not enjoy it trust me man.
You said you don't use it as a "makeshift iPod", I think, if you're playing a song that is just awesome sounding and fun (to the person playing it), it dosen't get better than that, so I don't really see how you can manage with the way you decide what songs you want to play (isn't it about enjoying the music as you play along to it?), but whatever I guess.
I can't play a song like "If 6 was 9" (Jimi hendrix pack) because even though it's challenging, (and admittedly pretty tough) I hate the song to death, which is a good example of what I mean, and you seem to be the exact oppsite to me when it comes to how I judge songs I want to play, like Im sure you'd buy a song like that (something in the same vain at least), because of the challenge it brings, despite if you liked it or not, that's what get from your notion.
What's available in RBN noowis perfectly fine, wanting more songs? of course I do, Doomsday Party, Africa, and the Texas In July songs are awesome, and I want them, but Im happy with what's available now.
Anyway, I guess this conversation is over, nothing else to say.

Hello fellow Ningaholics!!! So I've been sitting here looking at my site for a while, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm not really happy with it. I used to love it. Maybe I'm just so used to looking at it that I'm just bored with it. Does anyone else get that way? Anywho, my site is www.beerducate.com Take a look and please let me know if its just me or is it really the train wreck I think it is lol.
Cheers, Chris
I'm with SP - go two stops lighter.
And add a backgroundColor to your background image.
On a wide screen - I use 1600px - it's white all around and it kills the effect.
I'm just an amateur at this, page looks good to me. In fact, it made me just go grab a beer, thanks!
It's not bad at all... (and yes, we all get that way).
Add this to your advanced CSS (has your image)...
/* Background */
body {background-size:100% 100%!important; background: url(http://api.ning.com/files/0jVFQGIQGnRHdJri*ytHEzMcESoeuun7RIM027b0E...)fixed center top!important;
Keep it up :)
Forgot to mention that you should reduce the size of the header 1/3 to 1/2...like the others suggested.
Maybe make the module backgrounds a semitransparent image so you can see the bar in the background a little more instead of the solid color...
Wow, thanks for all the replies!!! I think I'll go ahead and follow all of your ideas!! Thanks alot everyone!!
I seem to be having challenges changing the header size.... Any ideas?

Election Endorsements
Breaking the secret codes of candidate endorsements
Voters paying attention to this fall's election are encountering all sorts of candidate endorsements – on campaign signs and in ads, voter pamphlets and mailings.
Election Endorsements
Support South Pierce fire district's first bond issue
Voters in rural South Pierce County are seeing something new on their November ballots: a South Pierce Fire & Rescue bond measure.
No on Tacoma's Prop. 1 utility tax
Tacoma has shockingly bad streets and a shocking history of failing to invest in them. Part of the answer, the City Council has decided, is to make Tacoma's neighbors invest in them.
Our endorsements in the Nov. 5 general election
The following are News Tribune editorial board endorsements in the Nov. 5 general election. Incumbents are designated with an asterisk (*), incumbents by appointment with a double asterisk (**).
Scare tactics against Peninsula schools
Perhaps the single most misleading claim of this year's election season — and that's a high bar to clear — is being peddled by levy opponents in the Peninsula School District.
Our endorsements in Puyallup City Council races
With Mayor Rick Hansen term-limited out and Kent Boyle resigning early from his District 3 seat, at least two new faces will be on the Puyallup City Council after the Nov. 5 election. A third council race features an incumbent versus a political newcomer.
Nathan Schlicher for the 26th District
This isn't a legislative election year, so the pent-up furies of Olympia politics are funneling through an off-year race in a single district — the 26th, where voters will determine the successor to former state Sen. Derek Kilmer.
Bacon for Tacoma port, Reid for parks
The elected commissioners who oversee the Port of Tacoma and Metro Parks Tacoma have similar roles — providing policy direction, allocating funds and responding to the public.
Our choices in Federal Way city and school board races
Federal Way, once a suburb, is now a large city in its own right with a 90,000-plus population. It's got big-city issues, too, including a rising poverty rate, deserted commercial buildings and an increasingly polyglot immigrant population.
Our choices for Tacoma, Puyallup, Bethel schools
Voters in the three largest Pierce County school districts will select board members Nov. 5, who will help lead schools through tough budget decisions and the introduction of the rigorous new Common Core standards.
For Tacoma council: Woodards, Thoms, Lonergan
If this year's polite races and unchallenged incumbents are any indication, either the Tacoma City Council is keeping citizens happy or its members are good at keeping their heads down.

As I enter yet another competition, based on social media interaction, such as VOTES or LIKES, I am realizing how valuable these contest really are for those emerging artists who have tiny marketing budgets for their music. While time is money, I think using competitions based on social media hits are a great way to get some new fans, get some press all at the same time, increasing your user skills in social media, which seems destined to stay.
My win in the British Airways Face of Opportunity Contest with a marketing pitch for my album Night Flight to London, had many levels of competition, most being based on the number of votes I could secure. I found myself heavy on social media, like Twitter and Facebook, getting the word out. Result? I won. Got trip to London/Rome to promote my music. Met amazing people. Album on British Airways inflight audio for six months. And, most importantly, a sense of pride and accomplish and a feel of real support from the airline.
Right now, having experience the value of that contest, I have entered yet another competition. This time the prize is £10K worth or music promotion on the music website we7. I am one of 10 artists, who have been selected by Ditto Music (my digital music distributor) to get some social media promo and if I get more LIKES on the Ditto Music Facebook page than any other artist, I will win that one month promo of my music.
That's something worth Tweeting about!
If you'd like to participate, just go to the Ditto Music Facebook page on their WALL posts. You will find my featured Artist profile about 4 posts down in the WALL feed, as of this writing. Just under the airplane image on the YouTube video, is a LIKE button. That's the one you push!
Easy Breazie!
Let's win this thing!

text: Ok. Well i'm shopping around for a rear projection TV. I really dont know JACK about them so I was hoping some of you guys might help out. I probably wont buy it for about a month since I won't be in my apartment till then, so I have a while to research. Anyways, I've seen the TheaterWide series from Toshiba and I like the picture. The 40" Model (40H80) seems pretty cool and I have seen it on the web for around $1600 (crazyeddie.com, Cnet certified). I have a few questions. What does normal TV look like on the wide screen projection TVs. I am guessing not all shows come in the 16:9 ratio. Also, what is the advantage of getting the wide screen TVs. Im guessing if you just got a bigger normal screen TV, Then when you viewed widescreen, the picture would look just as good. And for some reason, the Widescreen ones are smaller but more expensive. To tell you the truth, I want to spend as little as I can without compromising product and picture quality. I want to later hook up a nice DVD player and A/V Receiver to build a home theatre system to it. All input accepted :-)

Almshouse IV Location
Your apartment is close to the Lange Voorhout. This used to be the street where the elite of The Hague strolled to show off their clothes and nice dogs in the 19th century. They liked to walk on this street because it has many lime trees which provide shade. Some of these lime trees are very old because some were planted in 1536 when Emperor Charles V had his residence in The Hague. The Hague is called the Indo city. Indo's are former Dutch and Indonesians, especially Ambones or of mixed race who lived in our former colony, the Dutch Indies. The Indisch Monument is a memorial of all the Dutch citizens and soldiers of the KNIL, the Royal, Dutch, Indies Army, who were killed during the Japanese occupation (1941-45) in the Dutch Indies and during the postwar Bersiap when the Dutch fought against the Indonesians who wanted independence. On the 15th of August a ceremony is held every year. You can take the tram to Scheveningen. This village is connected to The Hague and is the popular beach resort for the locals but also for many tourists. You can take a nice long walk on this beach and then go for a drink in the majestic Kurhaus Hotel. |

If you want to do something really different, take a tour to the Arctic Circle. Only 10,000 people per year take this trip, which you can do by air or van. We booked our tour through Northern Alaska Tour Company, which cost almost $200 per person, but something this unique is worth it.
There is nothing like this Arctic desert anywhere else on earth. This tiny piece of Alaska is so vast that it's hard to imagine how immense the tundra is, even when you're standing in the middle of it. Here are some still shots, which don't do it justice:
It's hard to describe the trip in photos, so hopefully this video helps give you a better idea of what the drive was like:
After the tour was done, we went to The Pump House, which is a well-known spot with locals for its standard, hearty bar fare. It's also a place that tourists can get elk meatloaf or reindeer tenderloin. Here's what we ate:

Business Pro-Tip: Claim Your Foursquare and Yelp Venue Pages!
Posted by Alloy Matt
This blog post is to make you aware of "Check-In" sites. What are "Check-In" sites? Well, Facebook has the functionality built-in to their site, but there are plenty of others out there, as well. Foursquare, Google Places (which is also a part of Google+ now), Urbanspoon (for restaurants) and Yelp are the major ones that come to mind. Different sites cater to different crowds so it depends on what reason people have to "Check-In" to your place of business. Should people be interested in just letting their Facebook and Twitter friends know where they are and with whom, Facebook and Foursquare work best for that. Whereas, if people want to leave detailed reviews about their experience at your establishment, Google Places and Yelp tend to be the sites people lean toward. Nowadays, Yelp is almost completely comprised of jerks that want to say horrible things about your place of business, no matter what the experience was.
You may be wondering why I am bothering to post about these sites. Well, here's some info you didn't know…

Remember that Walden's Title IV Code is 025042.
Focus your understanding of key issues confronting the American criminal justice system, as well as policy analysis and the contemporary decision-making models, with a Graduate Certificate in Criminal Justice.
This certificate is designed for criminal justice professionals in policing, the courts, corrections, security, and associated support agencies.
You may complete this graduate certificate in as little as 6 months and earn credits to immediately apply toward your Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) or Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration. Time to completion may vary by student, depending on individual progress and credits transferred, if applicable. For a personalized estimate of your time to completion, call an enrollment advisor at 1-866-492-5336.
Students work toward building a foundation for academic and professional success as a scholar-practitioner and social change agent. They assess the relationship of mission and vision to professional goals and develop a program of study and strategies for online success. Students also explore resources used throughout the program, such as the online Walden University Library. Students engage in course assignments focused on the practical application of professional writing, critical-thinking skills, and the promotion of professional and academic excellence
Students in this course are introduced to contemporary views and theories of maladaptive and criminal behavior. They examine a broad conceptualization of criminal behavior from an interdisciplinary perspective as well as theories and application of criminal profiling. Students also explore specific views of criminal behavior germane to groups, such as psychopaths, serial offenders, and sexually violent predators. At the end of this course, students will have an understanding of the theories and practices that are the foundations of the field of criminology.
Justice is at the heart of the U.S. democratic system, yet opposing viewpoints surrounding and within the system often muddle interpretations of the law and the development of policies to promote and enforce justice. In this course, students examine events that have significantly changed how the legal system interprets the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Code, and the U.S. Patriot Act, for example, the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001. They learn how social and historical changes have shifted perspectives and sparked debates on expanding the rights of government versus safeguarding personal civil rights and civil liberties. Through discussion with peers, assessment of contemporary articles, and examination of Supreme Course cases, students have the opportunity to reflect on and potentially broaden their own opinions and perspectives on current criminal justice affairs in regard to issues of law enforcement, public perception, policy development, and ethics.
In consideration of modern technological innovation and the spread of knowledge through digital means, the relationship between technology and criminal activity is increasing. In this course, students explore this relationship and gain a comprehensive view of cybercrime, including current trends. They learn how law enforcement agencies use technology to track and apprehend criminals. Through real-world scenarios, students examine legal responses to cybercrime and learn different approaches and techniques for solving cybercrimes and handling related challenges. Students also have the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of building cases and prosecuting crimes through practical exercises in identification, data mining, and the protection and gathering of evidence.
Tuition and fees are subject to change.

Dr. Seeger is a Professor and Chief of Musculoskeletal Imaging in the Department of Radiological Sciences at UCLA School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA.
In the current climate of reduced reimbursement for imaging studies, streamlining image acquisition is essential. Gone are the luxury days when one could leave the patient on the scanner table for an hour, acquiring multiple pulse sequences. One must now consider time: scanner time, technologist time, and physician time. The use of intravenous (IV) contrast increases scan time, and may or may not be reimbursable. Extra imaging also increases the cost of supplies, such as film. To be profitable, we must improve patient throughput.
Under most circumstances, a complete musculoskeletal magnetic resonance (MR) examination can be accomplished with three pulse sequences. To set the protocols, one needs to be aware of the anatomy to be evaluated and the suspected pathology. If more than three sequences are done, consider what additional information you will get from this scan, as your equipment and personnel are likely not being utilized to maximum capacity.
The protocols outlined below should serve as guidelines only. Variations on the pulse sequences are certainly acceptable without compromising the information that can be extracted from the scan. The important message is the use of a maximum of three sequences. The inclusion of a fat-suppressed T2 and/or inversion-recovery sequence is important regardless of the area under investigation. Usually, the fat-suppressed T2 sequence will show anatomic detail better than an inversion recovery scan will. The latter may, however, be useful for determining the presence of very subtle marrow or soft-tissue changes.
Knee: A complete knee study consists of a sagittal double echo, coronal double echo, and axial fat-suppressed T2 scan. This allows evaluation of the menisci in 3 planes, the cruciate ligaments in 2, and the collateral ligaments in 2. The articular cartilage of all 3 compartments is demonstrated well. The patellar retinaculum is evident on the axial images, and fat suppression provides sensitive identification of subtle marrow changes.
Shoulder: A routine shoulder study consists of a coronal oblique double echo, sagittal oblique fat-suppressed T2, and axial double echo or 2D-gradient echoes scan. The rotator cuff is visible in 2 planes, the biceps tendon can be seen within the intertubercular sulcus and at its anchor, and the labrum is seen circumferentially. The acromioclavicular and glenohumeral joints are displayed well, and acromial morphology can be evaluated in 2 planes.
Ankle: A sagittal T1, axial double echo, and coronal fat-suppressed T2 scan will show all important ankle anatomy. The major medial, lateral, and anterior tendons are seen best on the axial images, and the Achilles tendon is seen well in 2 planes. The lateral ligaments are demonstrated on both the axial and coronal scans. All 3 planes are useful for detecting osteochondral lesions. The sinus tarsi and spring ligament can also be evaluated.
Hip: Unless very high-resolution images of a specific part of the bony pelvis or proximal femur are needed, scans should include both hips, the sacrum, and the pubic symphysis, from the iliac crests to the proximal femoral shafts. Since a large proportion of hip MR studies are looking for fracture, tumor, or avascular necrosis, it is useful to image the entire pelvis to detect lesions that would otherwise be missed. The study can be accomplished with a coronal T1, coronal inversion-recovery, and axial fat-suppressed T2 scan.
When searching for radiographically occult traumatic lesions of long bones (tibia, metatarsal, etc.), the scan should be coned to the area of clinical concern to provide high-resolution images. The technologist should put skin markers at the proximal and distal area of pain, and use an appropriate surface coil. A longitudinal T1 and inversion-recovery scan, and an axial fat-suppressed T2 scan will show all pertinent findings, including marrow and soft-tissue edema, periostitis, and cortical infractions.
Most centers have established protocols for routine MR imaging of joints and the spine, but when faced with an extremity mass or tumor, excessive steps may be undertaken to compensate for diagnostic uncertainty. It is, therefore, important to establish an approach to MR image acquisition and analysis of nonarticular extremity lesions, and to understand both the strengths and the limitations of MRI.
Most musculoskeletal tumors can be imaged adequately with a maximum of 3 pulse sequences: T1-weighted spin echo, fat-suppressed T2, and inversion recovery. The optimal imaging plane will depend on the location of the lesion.
The T1-weighted scan may be in the axial plane in the case of a soft-tissue mass, and should be confined to the mass itself. If a bone lesion is being evaluated, the T1-weighted scan should be in a longitudinal orientation using a large field-of-view. With bone lesions, the purpose of the T1 scan is to evaluate the entire length of bone involvement, provide measurements for surgery, and detect skip lesions. An oblique orientation should be used, if needed, to include the entire bone with both proximal and distal joints on one large field-of view scan whenever possible.
For soft-tissue and bone tumors, a fat-suppressed T2-weighted scan should be acquired in the axial plane. Fat suppression will differentiate between tumor and normal intermuscular, subcutaneous, or marrow fat. The scan should be coned to the lesion, using a surface coil, if appropriate, and scanning to normal tissue above and below. This sequence will allow localization of any soft-tissue mass around the circumference of the bone and compartmental localization of a soft-tissue mass; it will also determine the relationship of the mass to surrounding muscles and assess any involvement of a joint or major neurovascular structures. Periostitis can also be seen.
While most important information can be obtained from these 2 sequences, the addition of a longitudinal inversion recovery scan may complement the study. For bone lesions, the purpose of this scan is to again assess the extent of marrow involvement and evaluate the extent of periostitis or soft-tissue mass that may extend proximal or distal to the marrow involvement. This may alter surgical margins, extending the area of resection. The scan should be acquired with an oblique orientation if needed, and coned to the lesion.
Most often, MR imaging for infection is requested to evaluate for osteomyelitis. T1-weighted spin echo, fat-suppressed T2, and inversion-recovery sequences are adequate. The imaging planes will be determined by the location of the clinical pathology, and it is important to be aware of the presence of any skin ulceration or areas of induration. This often requires communication with the technologist after the patient has arrived, as specific information regarding the area of abnormality is usually lacking on the requisition.
Usually, IV contrast administration does not add clinically useful information to the MR diagnosis of musculoskeletal lesions. It cannot be used to differentiate benign masses from malignancy, does not improve the accuracy of tumor staging, cannot differentiate peritumoral edema from tumor infiltration, and, with the rare exception of soft-tissue desmoid, does not improve lesion conspicuity over that available with fat-suppressed T2-weighted scans. The marrow edema of osteomyelitis will enhance nonspecifically. Enhancement characteristics such as intensity and homogeneity reflect nonspecific characteristics of any lesion including vascularity, vascular permeability, and the size of the extracellular fluid compartment. Gadolinium (Gd) may, in fact, partially obscure margins of any focal abnormality, as it may increase the signal of a lesion to equal that of normal fat. If Gd is to be used, post-contrast T1-weighted scans should utilize fat-suppression.
Possible uses for contrast administration include differentiation of viable versus cystic or necrotic tumor to guide percutaneous biopsy, identification or documentation of postoperative seroma, and localization of soft-tissue abscesses. Most fluid collections are, however, evident on nonenhanced scans.
Dynamic image acquisition following IV Gd administration has been suggested for tumor-specific diagnosis, differentiation of tumor from peritumoral edema, and evaluation of tumor response to preoperative chemotherapy. This is a time-consuming and costly technique in terms of personnel, scanner time, contrast material, and post-processing. It has been studied extensively in Europe but has not gained clinical popularity in the U.S., where it is generally considered to be an investigational technique.
Efficiency in MR imaging is now essential. While imaging the musculoskeletal system involves the possibility of innumerable body parts and possible pathologic processes, a diagnostic scan can be accomplished in a time-efficient manner by using only three sequences and omitting the use of IV Gd. In order to sequence any scan properly, one needs to be aware of the specific area of concern and the suspected pathology. If needed, this information can be relayed to the physician by the technologist at the time of scan acquisition. AR

**I have a real treat if you tune in tomorrow. The NYT best-selling author of Killer Summer, Ridley Pearson, has given Fumbling with Fiction an essay entitled "Writing a Killer Series" for me to post. All you series writers will definitely want to check out his advice and words of wisdom on the subject.
Sheriff Walt Fleming grows suspicious when he sees a tow truck crossing a bridge with a car in tow while out on a fishing trip. When he catches up with the truck, he discovers a dead man in the car with a briefcase chained to his wrist. In the briefcase are three bottles of wine purportedly to have been a gift from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams. Immediately, Fleming starts to think that he's stumbled upon a plot to steal the wine. But the further Fleming digs, the more he discovers that something much more elaborate and sinister is afoot.
Favorite thing about the book?
I'm a big fan of the premise here. Three bottles of wine that had purportedly been a gift from Thomas Jefferson to John Adams. For some reason, I always enjoy books that can make food an integral part of the story. And I feel that Pearson has made a book that melds a foodie hobby–wine tasting–with mystery. So in other words, the basic premise alone has appeal to wine lovers, mystery fanatics, and history aficianados.
Beyond that, this story mixes murder mystery with a heist plot. And there's even a nice nod to Ocean's 11 when one of the characters is dubbed "George Clooney." Nice touch, Mr. Pearson.
What was most surprising about the book?
I did not know there was a quasi-Hamptons of Idaho. Ok, that's probably not what surprised me most, but seriously, I've never heard someone describe Idaho so vividly.
Favorite Character?
Walter Flemings, the main character/detective. I haven't read the previous books in the Killer series, but I know this is not Walter's first adventure. You've got to love when an author has been writing a character for awhile and it seems like the author can just wear that character as comfortably as an old shoe. There's a familiarity with Walter that makes him leap off the page. Clearly, Pearson has put a lot of thought into his main character's backstory without making the mistake of vomiting it all onto the page. I love the social awkwardness in Walter that I don't see in a lot of adult capers–especially from male detectives. And you've got to feel for the poor guy. His ex-wife's seeing a deputy!
Although Walter remains my favorite, I have to say props to Pearson for fleshing out his teen characters. As a YA-lover I really enjoy seeing adult authors deal realistically with their teen cast.
Underlying themes?
There are a fair number of family strife-type the,es going on here, but, thankfully, they take a back seat to the mystery and the action.
After this book you felt…?
Surprised. It's a mystery after all.
Who would you recommend this book to?
Folks that like a good caper or heist story. I could even see younger readers who enjoyed the movie National Treasure getting into the Killer Summer.
Also, if you like twists on history or fine wine then this is a cool read.
Finally, how long did it take you to read?

-- Anderson former Best -- CEO.
Can you say in the end disappointing for you when your -- what is -- Firfer somebody that's likes to the free market and likes limited government yes it's disappointing.
And I think.
I think -- we've had I don't know what your families like -- my family.
Dodd the debates between the two sides are are ferociously -- listening very interesting to see what happens tomorrow I know what you mean about by the way.
As we're talking here Paul Ryan has won his house seat in.
In Wisconsin.
He could run.
For congressman again and he's also the chairman of the House Budget Committee but he conveniently easily wins is.
His house seat on these concurrently running for vice president he's been of course Mitt Romney's running mate solution to go down to defeat tonight.
To take heart -- knowing that he will still be.
A player -- -- -- power player.
In the House of Representatives but certainly some disappointment that it wasn't able.
To deliver his state of Wisconsin for Republicans tonight.
What do you make of that Paul Ryan and what future -- my -- should should -- it's too early say.
Mitt Romney go down to defeat.
Well but we're gonna see -- -- be Affordable Care Act get implemented we've got this giant deficit that's that's facing us we've got the budget cuts coming.
He's going to be on center stage.
Have no matter what happens so it'll be -- CC I can't imagine -- be a particularly politically attractive place to be.
But he's definitely going to be and now limelight I think for the next several years.
-- -- getting several reports to George Allen.
In Virginia is ready to take the stage we do not know.
If that is it consisted speech and he will -- -- to detain.
But where we're watching and -- we're just -- -- -- I've been telling you and others about how the markets are going and end up not liking what bearing that Smart.
Not exclusively that's what they're not liking it.
And I'm wondering what life will be like if everything we've gotten used to remains in other words a Democrat in the White House the democratic senate.
And a Republican House -- -- -- -- the next four years.
Well I have I haven't -- Biggest concern for the next four years is the things that kind of got us mad at each other.
Are gonna get sharper than -- because we're very different terms of our approaches of the what the way we see the problems.
In the way we see the resolution of problems and and our problems that we're confronting like the deficit might put the Mike the implementation the health care act.
Our are gonna become much more tangible that's likely to pull us apart I think -- -- -- together.
So it's gonna take some real interest -- statesmanship to start to reverse this and it's hard to see where the bridges are going to be built.
Do you think -- as the vice president had said that.
Republicans losing the White House might bring -- They're temperature down a little bit that he goes the compromise -- -- Everyone's comes back down I don't envision that I think everything it that visited the table was set exactly -- -- was you know but -- -- it.
I -- and it particularly with the election this close.
So you're gonna have a lot of people who are at more strongly never believe in employee and it's it's essentially it's an authentic difference in two different points of view.
And the president and and nor the other side really has I think a way to bridge those differences.
It's it's it's and there's no there's so there's no sort of infrastructure to try to pull us together.
Hot -- -- -- selection helps that.
-- we shall see a little too early -- -- it's always a pleasure thank you sir.
Thank you very --

Criteria for ACFW Recognized Publishers
In order to be considered for ACFW's Recognized Publisher List, a publisher must meet the following criteria:
- The publisher publishes novels written from a Christian worldview in any Christian fiction genre (i.e. should not contain profanity, graphic sex, or other objectionable material, and must otherwise conform to generally accepted standards of the CBA, as determined by ACFW.)
- All of the publisher's fiction is Christian, or the publisher has an imprint devoted entirely to Christian fiction (in which case only the imprint will be recognized).
- The author must not participate financially in the production or distribution of the book (including a requirement to buy books).
- The publisher must pay royalties.
- The publisher must have been in business at least one year, and have previously unpublished books of Christian fiction by at least two authors (other than the owners) in print.
- The publisher's books must show evidence of professional editing and cover art, and the content must reflect biblical principles.
If a book was originally published by a Recognized Publisher, then goes out of print and is republished by the author or some other means, that book is eligible for listing on Fiction Finder.
Applicant must apply at least six weeks prior to the opening date of a contest or the month in which a New Release is announced by ACFW on FictionFinder.com to allow time for processing. To apply, a representative of the publisher should send an email to email@example.com requesting a form and further information about the application process.
Recertification: Publishers will be asked to complete a brief form each fall to assess their continued compliance with these criteria. A publisher must publish at least two new works of Christian fiction per calendar year to maintain Recognized Publisher status.
Publishers recognized on this page do not constitute an endorsement from ACFW.

This. Do not give him calcium supplements. Congrats! He adorable. Thank yu for saving the little guy and giving him a wonderful home. He is young enough to get past what he has been through. |
Nigel | Congratulations on your new pup! For the hand biting try redirecting him to one his toys, same goes for chewing on other things he's not supposed to. You can look up redirection in the search block at the top center of the page. In addition to the marrow bones you might want to try bully sticks. Good luck! | |
Galathiel | Cute pup! I wouldn't supplement with additional calcium. Too much calcium isn't good for large breed puppies as it can promote too rapid a growth which isn't good for their bones. | |
just another truck |
Good Luck with the teething, all i can say is be consitant, tell him no, and hand a toy, when he takes the toy, give him love, every time. If you giggle or allow him at any time to chew on you, you have given him permission, he will not understand why it is no one time, and yes another. Have fun with your pup. |
Courtney |
Welcome and your pup is gorgeous! Thank you for adopting him He's still a pup and although his living conditions not ideal by any means you can turn this pup around with strong leadership. I bet he's going to be a fabulous companion. German Shepherds are very smart, as you see. A blast to train. They bond very deeply with their owners. Others will come by with some training advice. Good luck! |
Phoenix11 |
I'm a newbie here with my 5month old Shepherd There's a funny story as to how I got him actually. My parter is a professional dog trainer, has wanted a puppy for a very long time, but couldn't find the right one to train. Every night we'd go on craigslist or petfinder or what-have-you and just troll through the pictures and descriptions of dogs available. Yesterday we came across an add for a free purebred GSD that he got from a prestigious kennel in California. He gave us the backdrop of this baby's life, he had him for about 2 months and he was going to be deployed in a week and couldn't keep him. So we decided, what's the harm in going to visit? So we did. However when we got there and he said "He's out back" we were expecting him to be running around the backyard. This idiot had his 3k dog tied to a tree seeking shelter in a falling apart shed. He was feeding him small breed pedigree once a day and didn't even live in the falling apart house where he kept the dog. We didn't have time to say no. We adopted him. My partner's dream come true dog, but I don't know the first thing about GSD's. Or really dogs as a whole. I was hoping this forum would give me some help so i don't have to embarrass myself and ask my partner. He just turned five months old on August 29th and is weighing in (according to the previous owner) at about 45lbs. He doesn't understand the concept of "toy". It's like he's never been able to have something to play with before. He's wonderful in the car and at home. He's almost got potty-training down now and already knows which door is ours in the neighborhood. We're switching him over to Natural Balance and might try to find him some calcium because being switched from raw food (what the breeder fed him) to small breed pedigree could've done all kinds of damage to his growing process. He's teething, which I understand is normal, but he bites my hands. How do I fix this? Is there a word or command or trick I should be doing? I was left alone at home with him for our first day of the adoption and I really don't know the first thing about entertaining a puppy other than playing tug...but he doesn't understand. I bought him some frozen marrow bones at the store and he loves them, but goes through them so quickly! Any ideas, tips, or tricks anyone can share would be greatly appreciated. Also he doesn't have a name yet so we're open to ideas! |

Agent: Turkoglu Open to Playing Abroad
With the NBA lockout threatening to drag on and on, Orlando Magic small forward Hedo Turkoglu is open to the idea of playing abroad.
Turkoglu is weighing and considering opportunities with European franchises, his agent, Jim Tanner, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday.
Tanner said that any deal would have to be "a good fit from a basketball standpoint," but also would have to allow Turkoglu to return to the NBA if the lockout ends. Turkoglu also would have to have disability insurance coverage.

Joel Fraser-Composer
I am a hobbyist/part time composer based in Sydney Australia. I am self-taught and have never had any classical training/discipline. I feel that music is highly emotional, but also very technical. However, I believe that if you focus on emotion during music creation, technicality flows naturally. I am working towards forming a larger portfolio of accomplished works. If you feel that you enjoy my style of music and are interested in having a song made custom for your project feel free to contact me! If you purchase one of my items please don't forget to rate it
