Michael Matejka & Jan Vetrovsky
Photograph:Delly Carr
Czech pair Michael Matejka and Jan Vetrovsky have continued their complete domination in the Junior C2 field with a commanding victory more than seven seconds ahead of silver medalists New Zealand.
Matejka and Vetrovsky were always destined for success asserting their strength from the start of competition, claiming wins in their heats, semi-finals and now the final.
Despite three gate touches the Czech pair recorded the fastest final run of 122.90 to finish nearly eight seconds ahead of New Zealand duo Daniel Munro and Luke Robinson
The pair believed they could win the world title from the outset and were happy with their final run.
"It was a good run. We had two touches but it was a good run", Matejka said.
Polish crew Adam Kozub and Jakob Jeklin secured the bronze, 12.16 seconds behind the winners.
The victory makes it two C2 titles in as many days for the Czech Republic after Jonas Kaspar and Mark Sindler took out the U23 title on Friday.
Official result below.

LANSING (WKZO) -- Numerous police agencies will be working starting Friday night in the hopes of cracking down on drunk or impaired drivers in anticipation of New Year's Eve celebrations.
Michigan State Police confirmed they will have extra troopers out specifically looking for drunk drivers. This particular effort is part of the Michigan Office of Highway Safety Planning's New Year's drunk driving crackdown.
Federal funds help pay for 100 law enforcement agencies in 22 counties to take part.

Gun Injury Hospitalizations Drop 67% in CA
Tran notes that the report contains some interesting epidemiological trends. For example, she says, in the 1990s "peace broke out in California" with respect to people hurting people with guns. Tran declined to speculate why that might be.
The number of hospital days in 1992 was 68,200. That number dropped to $43,493 in 1996 and 29,013 in 2000. It inched back up to 37,356 in 2006 but in 2010, had dropped back to 27,176.
The report also specifies the days of the week when a hospital is most likely to see a gunshot victim. For example, assaults and unintentional shootings are most likely to result in hospitalizations on Sunday, injuries due to legal interventions occur most often on a Friday or Saturday, and self-inflicted shootings result in hospitalizations most often on Friday and Sunday.
As may be presumed, the largest share of injuries occurs in teenagers and adults from 13 through age 30, especially due to assaults. Self-inflicted shootings are the most common type of injuries in people over age 66.
The state released this report on firearm-related injuries and costs as part of a HealthFacts series that in the past has focused on disease trends. It did not issue a press release or public notice on the report as it usually does.

Special Event: The Art of Ai Weiwei Projection
The Newseum, in partnership with the Hirshhorn Museum, presented a projection featuring images and quotes by Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei. Ai is an outspoken critic of the Chinese government's stance on democracy whose advocacy of universal human rights complements the Newseum's mission to champion freedom of speech and expression for all people.
"Ai Weiwei: According to What?" — the first North American survey of the artist's work — will be on view at the Hirshhorn Museum through Feb. 24, 2013.
The Newseum projection was made possible through generous support from Bette Bao Lord and Ambassador Winston Lord, and an anonymous donor. Video projection services were provided by Quince Imaging, Inc.

A bill to equalize the pay of magistrates, clerks and deputy clerks across the state has passed the House of Delegates, but not without debate.
House Bill 2434 passed the House 53-45, along party lines, after about 90 minutes of debate Feb. 20. Republicans largely opposed the bill, saying it was a pay raise that is unfair to the many thousands of unemployed state residents. Meanwhile, Democrats contended the bill, while raising the pay for 48 magistrates, clerks and deputy clerks, would equalize pay and restore the salary levels of magistrates in counties where the population declined.
"To me, and much of District 25, this is not a pay raise for elected officials," said Delegate Linda Goode Philips, D-Wyoming. "This is a bill to restore the salaries of magistrates, clerks and deputy clerks in my district."
Phillips also represents part of McDowell County, and both counties in her district lost population in the most recent census. As a result, Wyoming County was demoted from tier one to tier two, meaning magistrates, clerks and deputy clerks working in that county saw their salaries decrease by about $5,000 annually, or $450 a month. Phillips noted that's money those employees won't pump into the local economies by going to the movies or eating dinners out.
"Most of us in the House have day jobs we go back to when we're not in session," Phillips said during the debate. "If your job was cut $450 a month, what would you do? How would that affect you?"
But, countered Delegate Patrick Lane, R-Kanawha, many West Virginians already do without movies and eating out and can barely afford to pay their bills.
"Somebody has to write the check to pay that bill," he said of the pay increases. "Who writes that check, Mr. Speaker? It's the people I represent, it's the folks I represent. It's the people of West Virginia we all represent. Those people write the check. I'm not talking about the Supreme Court budget, I'm talking about my neighbor's budget, my family's budget, the people I go to church with, their budget."
Lane noted more than 60,000 West Virginians currently are unemployed and more than 538,000 households in the state earn less than $25,000 annually.
"I think it's irresponsible when our friends and neighbors are struggling to pay the bills for us to keep piling on for the benefit of elected officials," he said.
The pay equity is funded by a $750,000 line in the budget of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, which was exempted from Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's budget cuts. Delegate Harry Keith White, D-Mingo, and chairman of the House Finance Committee, noted during the debate that the Supreme Court sets its own budget. Although the Supreme Court does present its budget to the finance committees, the Legislature can only add to the budget, but not take away from it.
"I have no say-so over the court's budget," White said.
A similar bill passed the House in the 2012 session, with many of the current opponents then voting in favor of the bill. But things have changed since then, said Delegate Daryl Cowles, R-Morgan and minority whip.
"It's the state budget — the loss of jobs and our struggling state economy," he said. "That's what's different. The budget cuts we face are real and difficult. These cuts make this pay raise now too difficult."
While the state has enjoyed budget surpluses in the past, this year is a little different. There is no surplus and Tomblin has called for budget cuts to help pay down rising Medicaid costs. That also makes supporting the bill a little more difficult, said Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha and House Minority Leader.
"All 100 of us are charged with a task that is probably going to be one of the most difficult we've had since any of us have been here," Armstead said. "Over the years, we've had surpluses. We've come back and done supplementals. We're not doing that this year. We've had to cut $75 million out of this budget already."
House Bill 2434 will now go to the Senate.

COVENTRY ŌĆö The Coventry and East Greenwich girls soccer teams walked off the field Thursday afternoon with a share of the points, but the reaction to the preceding 80 minutes couldnŌĆÖt have been more different.
BARRINGTON ŌĆö Over the last two years the Coventry tennis team has won 26 regular-season matches, two playoff matches and a Division III-West title.
WESTERLY ŌĆö If the Coventry boys soccer team is going to earn a bye into the Division II quarterfinals, the Oakers are going to have to work for it.
Coventry entered last weekŌĆÖs road game against Providence Country Day in prime position to earn a bye with three road games left to finish the season.
COVENTRYŌĆöFor the first 20 seconds it appeared as if the Pilgrim football team would have a shot of hanging with Coventry Friday night.
Just 47 seconds later, the Oakers put the lowly Patriots in their place as Michael NolanŌĆÖs 44-yard touchdown run opened the flood gates on a 40-6 Coventry victory.
WOOD RIVER JCT.ŌĆöAt the beginning of the season Chariho field hockey coach Johannah LaFountain feared her team may be in store for a building year.
ŌĆ£Everybody thought ŌĆō including myself ŌĆō we were going to be in for a building year,ŌĆØ LaFountain said. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm just so, so proud of them.ŌĆØ
WEST WARWICKŌĆöTo put it simply, the more physical team won the de-facto Division III-A girls soccer title game Friday afternoon.
WEST WARWICKŌĆöTo put it simply, the more physical team won the de-facto Division III-A girls soccer title game Friday afternoon.
Chariho, which was coming off a bad run of recent results following an undefeated start to the season, pushed and moved West Warwick around the field to secure the division title just three seasons after winning just one game.
KINGSTON ŌĆō Why is public higher education important? What will it look like in the future?
Those were some of the questions David A. Bergeron, vice president for postsecondary education at the Center for American Progress and former acting assistant secretary at the U.S. Department of Education, discussed Tuesday in his lecture, which was part of the University of Rhode IslandŌĆÖs Fall 2013 Honors Colloquium.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō A forgotten science project caused the evacuation of Pier Middle School Tuesday afternoon.
Narragansett Police Capt. Scott Perrin said Thursday that the police who were investigating the incident determined the ŌĆ£suspicious packageŌĆØ found around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, was merely a science experiment a student accidentally dropped the day before.

Eeeeee! I'll confess, I've been excited to blog this session since I pulled up at the field on that cold, bright morning. I was bundled up in my coat, boots, mittens and hat. I hopped out, camera in hand, and took a walk around before my bride and groom arrived. I could see my breath, even that glowed in the bright sun. It was going to be an amazing session, I could just feel it. When Lynsey and Carl pulled up with their perfect knit sweaters, Lynsey's hair and red scarf blowing in the wind, the deal was sealed…
I think Lynsey is so gorgeous ~
And is he cute or what?
More reasons why I love Lynsey: she follows the blog so she always knows what I'm talking about and going for, she's freaking adorable, AND – she watches ANTM so she knows how to look fierce for the camera. Holla! :)
The two of them together – romantic, playful, and so in love!
These are some of my top top favorite engagement images ever. ::sigh:: Love!
Ahh, you make me smile :)
You guys so totally rock. Very much looking forward to your wedding this spring! Woohoo!!

Sometimes life under Dennis Allen leads to a headache and a half. This week has been one of those as Terrelle Pryor's injury status after suffering a concussion on Monday against the Denver Broncos has lead to conflicting reports across the board on whether or not Pryor would start today as the Raiders take on the Washington Redskins at the O.co Coliseum.
Earlier in the week ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Pryor would not be cleared and wouldn't play on Sunday, but Pryor was cleared and in lieu of that the San Francisco Chronicle's Vic Tafur (a rock solid Raiders insider) reported that Pryor would be getting the game ball on Sunday.
Now the NFL on Fox team is getting in on the fun as Jay Glazer is reporting that the Raiders had a team meeting last night where it was reported that Matt Flynn would be getting the start regardless of Pryor's condition.
Scoopage: despite T Pryor being cleared, Raiders players were told in team mtg last night that Matt Flynn, … http://t.co/Emt6VPJXXy
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) September 29, 2013
Glad I'm back to being Jay Sources. Ahhhh how I missed that
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) September 29, 2013
I will have more on my Pryor scoopage on #FOXNFLSUNDAY noon eastern
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) September 29, 2013
Raiders players were actually informed last night that Flynn is starting
— Jay Glazer (@JayGlazer) September 29, 2013
This is now a full blown mystery. With the NFLPA probing the Raiders handling of Pryor on Monday, is Dennis Allen trying to avoid punishment by keeping Pryor from risking a second concussion despite being cleared by the league? Is the report true? Does Allen have more trust in Flynn because he was getting reps with the first team all week? There a lot of angles here that will be left unanswered until we see how the game unfolds.
From a game aspect Matt Flynn will be prepared to do the job. His history in coming in as a backup and performing has been well covered and he was tapped to be Oakland's starter before training camp, but it is clear that his lack of mobility presents a challenge under Oakland's offensive line which is still a work in progress. Pryor is the ideal starter, but if he can't go it is obvious that Allen has some sort of faith in Flynn seeing as he was the one brought in to lead the team in 2013 in the first place.
Jay Glazer is a member of the Fox NFL Sunday crew, but he is not close to the Oakland camp like Vic Tafur. Is this some advanced gamesmanship from Dennis Allen in order to trick Mike Shanahan and the Redskins after Tafur's leak? Who knows. We will all have to wait until the first snap this afternoon to find out.

Should we feel gratitude for our life? To whom?
Gratitude is important feeling in interpersonal relationships. Gratitude encourages giving and giving encourages more gratitude, etc. On the other side, lack of gratitude comes with a sense of "entitlement" - they mutually create each other as well. Lack of gratitude discourages giving and creates a sense that the world "owes us" a living. "We are programmed to receive." Gratitude, in my opinion, offers an exit from that proverbial Hotel California and "programs us to give".
How about our life and other things shown in this video? Religious people usually thank God for these things. The camera shows a standing round of applause at the end of the video. I very much doubt that most people attending TED talks are religious, so the video must have stirred some emotion in believers and non-believers alike.
Do non-believers feel gratitude for these things? If yes, to whom?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Dec 17 2012: Gratitude depends on each individual. What we direct our gratitude towards, in a realistic sense, is exactly the same. What we visualize it as is completely different. Some people are grateful to their God/Gods, some show gratitude towards energy and probability etc. Regardless of religion, it seems safe to say a good portion, if not all, forms of gratitude involves an outcome, probability. Whether it is "God" controlling probability or "mathematics" predicting it etc. I personally prefer a scientific representation, however, this is not the reality we all have gratitude towards, but representation is the key word. What exists and happens simply exists and happens as it is. The assumption one person is correct is as ridiculous as saying there is a superior language that can represent a tree in their language. Although some may be more true to the reality, it isn't the tree that is being described. To summarize, all people show gratitude towards probability and outcomes as well as those we represent controlling them.

Audience member Lynn tells Dr. Oz that she is interested in building bone density and wants to know more about strontium.
Dr. Oz notes that strontium is absorbed by the human body much like calcium, and he explains taking the right amounts of supplements like calcium, magnesium, vitamin K2, with vitamin D helps bone growth and density, but that the single most important thing for building-up bones is exercise.
Dr. Oz demonstrates a squatting exercise that helps build bone strength, and stresses that people need to give their bones a reason to gain strength through exercise, and not just through taking supplements.

Comments On Sep 14, 2014:Why would anyone mess with filter grease when these are available? Works perfectly. If it dosent stick you didn't clean the mating surface properly. They even give you a little extra piece of the material to test the adhesion. Cant go wrong with this. .

Comments On May 06, 2014:I now have 3 of these. 07 KX450F, 08 YZ450F and 07 YZ125. Installation is super easy - make sure to clean plastic surface well with contact cleaner. Have not had a single issue with leakage of dust in 4 years.

Comments On Apr 09, 2014:the best invention ever...why would you ever use grease again, unless you ride sand dunes, but for normal use, this thing is great.have them on all my bikes. just be sure the surface is clean before you mount it

Comments On Mar 30, 2014:first one of these. Installed and adhered very well after some thorough clean up with petrol/rags then alcohol swabs. I hope it's all it's cracke up to be - I won't miss greasing filter bases.

Comments On Dec 04, 2013:Works as stated and fits well. Keep the air filter maintenance easy and fast with this seal.

Comments On Oct 20, 2013:Works great. Much easier and less messy than using grease.

Comments On Aug 24, 2013:4 bikes and all have PC seal .I never have to worry if I have a good seal. This would be one of those things that I wish I knew about years ago. Note; You MUST clean airbox surface very,very well before installing gasket.Time and money saving product.

Comments On Aug 09, 2013:Good product does what they say it will do. Nothing much better then not having to deal with greasing the edge. I have had nothing get past this seal when using it. I will buy again when I get a different bike.

Let's call a spade a spade—while Ashley used to be a somewhat commonly used male name back in the days of Scarlett O'Hara's beau Ashley Wilkes, it's been slipping down the popularity pole ever since. As with other unisex names, once parents start using a traditionally male name more and more with girls, they'll start using it less and less with boys.

Texas Monthly Top 20 Wine Picks for 2012
My friend Jessica Dupuy with Texas Monthly has shared her Top 20 favorite Texas wines — and lucky for me, I have tasted most of these. I must admit the Brennan Vineyards Lily, the Duchman Winery Vermentino and Trebbiano and Perissos Roussanne are among my favorite white white wines.
For the reds, I am intrigued that two of the Top Reds are Nero D'Avola. I have not tried either of these wines but will pick them up soon! I love the McPherson Sangiovese and William Chris Hunter for lighter style reds, and the Pedernales Tempranillo Reserve and the Pontotoc Vineyard San Fernando Academy when I'm hankering for something with some weight.
While I was getting over bronchitis last week, I sipped on the Hilmy Cellars Muscat Canelli and it was like enjoying a Clementine. It has nice acid to balance out its slight sweetness. The Messina Hof Moscato is also a nice dessert wine that is not too sweet.
Go try some of these wines and let me know how you liked them!

Henrik Lundqvist started three of this week's four games, with Cam Talbot back-stopping the Rangers against the Islanders on Tuesday night. Over his three starts, Lundqvist allowed fewer than two goals in each, including a shutout on Thursday night, and allowed just one goal Saturday night.
Overall, he stopped 81 of 84 shots faced in his three starts, good for a .964 save percentage and a 1.50 GAA. He seems back in form with no noticeable lingering effects from the injury that kept him out for a couple of games, and is starting to hit his mid-season stride.

I am soooo excited to share with you that our family is expanding!
Baby Bell #2 is set to arrive May 2014.
Life is great my friends and as you can see, Sloane is clearly thrilled about becoming a big sis.
The view from 15 weeks looks a little bigger than it did the first time around, but I am assured this is normal. I was a little shocked when I was "showing" around the 8 week mark and couldn't help but think how large and in charge I would be at 40 weeks. Our bodies are amazing and I guess when it's already been through the process once, it adapts faster the second time.
Sloane loves giving her baby sister/brother kisses and this is the first preggo pic this time around. Apparently jumping continents then a second move across Germany in less than a month, while also keeping up with a toddler, doesn't leave much time left for selfies
According to our weekly updates from Baby Center the little nugget is now the size of an apple. Even the second time around I am just as much in awe of how my body is changing and the progress of the baby.
I shared my first pregnancy journey and I fully intend on updating you on life with the little bambino this time around too. I am sure there will be some new surprises along the way.
Next week I will share the first installment with some observations from 0-15 weeks. In a nutshell I am thrilled to have my energy back after the crazy exhaustion train that hit me from about the 4 week mark until 9 weeks. I am back on the healthy grub after having some crazy little food aversions to salads, smoothies some days, almost all animal protein and having a super small appetite. Couple this with my little to no desire to cook {hence the lack of food posts…} … I am glad this healthy pregnancy train is back on track!
Annnnnd if all this wasn't hard enough to keep a secret, I have another secret to share with you next week! The Healthy Ginger is expanding after 2 years in business and I can't wait to tell you more. YEAH! The goal is to reach more of you all over the world and make health coaching more accessible as you work your tush off to become the most healthy and thriving version of YOU in 2014. Double YEAH!
Until then, sending you oodles of love for an amazing week ahead!

Rev Up Your Room:
Chic High-End Looks for Under $500
When it comes to a well furnished room, it's all about the mix. Too much of any one style, no matter how well chosen, can tip the balance toward the space feeling too "safe". Offsetting the basics with even one unexpected piece wakes up the overall design — adding a fantastic, chic chair in a style that is just a touch off of your norm and a click toward luxe is an easy way to accomplish this eclectic objective...and you can do it for under $500:
Here are ten seating choices that, while varied in style and materials, all have an air of high-end chic, while clocking in at the under $500 mark. Maybe it's not in the budget to buy a pair or completely surround your dining room table or with them all in one go, but as a single signature piece in a living room or a special side chair in the bedroom, they are perfect.
Shown above, top row, left to right:
1. Soren Chair for $449 at Room & Board
2. Era Round Armchair for $250 at Design Within Reach
3. Contact Stool for $129 at CB2
4. Madeleine Side Chair for $109 at Restoration Hardware
5. Tobias Chair for $99 at IKEA
Bottom row, left to right:
6. Vintage French Leather Armchair for $379 at Restoration Hardware
7. Xanadu Bench for $349 at Ethan Allen
8. Upholstered Dhurrie Slab for $299 at West Elm
9. Tolix Marais A56 Armchair for $275 at Design Within Reach
10. Eames DCM Molded Plywood Chair for $499 at Design Within Reach
Of course, unusual, well designed vintage chairs are also a great way to go when you need to mix things up a bit, so if buying new isn't your style, head out to your favorite thrift source or start checking our daily scavenger roundups to add a dose of eclectic chic to your own home.

I thought this was going to be how to get all 4 chairs to actually complete the look for $500!
If you buy #3, #4 or #5 chairs, you can!
@toastercat Same here on my end! It's nice to know that Ikea's got a chic looking chair, though, but its individual price is still a little too steep if I wanted to get a set of six-eight of the same.
L O V E the soren chair, wish they weren't $449 each. I also like the tobias chair from IKEA but am a bit concerned about the long term durability - has anyone seen it in person? How flimsy is it?
@HouseOnClintonAve - I know but I saw the SOREN chairs and was like OOOOH then clicked into the link and they're almost $500 each :(
I picked up five vintage (not in the best shape) Series 7 chairs for $400 a few months ago though, so I'm good on chairs for the moment anyway :)
LOL agreed @ toastercat
Does anybody know if that Ikea chair is comfy? It might be great as an office chair.
I am not even a fan of mid century stuff but I love those Soren chairs...so handsome and charismatic! lol
I'm sorry, but the Soren chair is a complete rip-off of Helge Sibast's nr 8 chair: http://www.deconet.com/decopedia/object/9882/Model_nr_8_by_Helge_Sibast.
At that price? Buy the original.
yeah, they pretty much are the same, except the soren's arms actually angle down (probably making it more comfortable!)... i, too, always prefer vintage to newer productions, but i assume for most people it's easier to order from room and board than it is to scour the internet for a set of vintage.
if one kitchen chair for $450 is not "high end" ... um... pardon my provincialism and tell me what would constitute a "high end" chair?
You can get that Tolix Marais A56 Armchair look for way less than $275. Right now I see a banner ad for Industry West for $99.
We actually own 4 of the Tobias IKEA chairs and have had them for 2 years now. They are very comfy and look just as beautiful as when we bought them. Totally recommend those! IKEA actually released a new version in grey which we're thinking of buying to add to the mix.
Does anyone know where that dining table in the Ikea picture is from or where I can get one similar? Love it!
Ps. someone also needs to start a blog like budgetista for homewares - finding pieces matching those high end pieces. As in I'd love to but know nothing about starting a blog, only researching.
Nice chairs, but the post is very misleading. This makes it kind of annoying. To recreate the main photo showing four Soren chairs around a table would cost aprox. $1,700 for just chairs.
"High end looks" for a room include a multitude of things besides one expensive chair as is the case with #1,6,7 and 10. A lovely silver tray, a beautiful mirror or vase can also contribute to a high end look and may be in the price range that many who are reading this submission can financially manage.
I'm glad someone pointed out that the Soren Chair is a knock-off. I didn't know.
I can see where all the comments are coming from - $500 for one chair is pricey - but I also think that it's hard for AT to introduce a wide variety of new sources all the time. Everybody knows the usual suspects anyway (IKEA, CB2, West Elm, etc.)
I've started to realize AT doesn't put its efforts into extensive research and coming up with the most complete lists and articles ever. AT has such wide readership and such an active community that the power simply lies in the introduction of the idea. Point demonstrated - I always get a little out of the AT articles, but the opportunity to get A LOT out of the comments is multiplied immensely.
niabassett you are right on with your comments!
we've had the ikea chairs for at least two years and they are definitely well made. They're more comfortable than your average dining chair - the shape allows you to sort of rock back & forth.
Yeah, the Tobias from IKEA isn't bad. I have a pair. Don't think I'd use it as a desk chair though, at least not for extensive use. For starters, you can't adjust the height...
The headline was misleading, I thought it was going to be a post about making a room look chic for $500.
Maybe chic chairs under $500 that look high end may have been better... :-)
I love the IKEA chairs and I usually don't like IKEA.
My knee jerk was to be a little put off by the bait and switch but after reading:
"Maybe it's not in the budget to buy a pair or completely surround your dining room table or with them all in one go, but as a single signature piece in a living room or a special side chair in the bedroom, they are perfect."
...I thought about it again. Maybe it IS a worthy idea to buy just one chair as an accent piece or a reading nook chair, then when you can, buy another. These you can make a little vignette with a small table or put in a breakfast area. Buy another when you can and either place it with the other two or in it's own little space...and so on and so forth until you get the set you need.
So maybe it's not "complete the look for under 5 bills" but more "complete the look for under 5 bills at a time...over time"! Sucks if they stop selling the chair of choice before you complete a set though!
Mr. Modtomic
Oh, FFS. One $500 chair is bad enough, but if you need a herd of them to actually use them for their typical use (i.e. around a dining table)? That's $3-4K. Shoot me if I'm ever Extravagant American enough to drop that on a place to put butts for dinner while there are still Starving Children in Ethiopia.
I really wish Re-Nest had more traffic, because since AT's shift to writing as though anything under $10K is totally reasonable and attainable, Re-Nest fits my outlook better, but the posts typically get less than 10 comments.
I agree with you, niabassett.
Yes, the title to this post is very misleading.
More bummed than inspired. Was very curious cuz I have a table similar to the one w/ the Soren chair. BUT I don't have that kind of money.
I too agree with you, niabassett. Let AT introduce new ideas and trend and see what you can do with it. I usually get a lot of good ideas and great sources from people who post to this site...it's really priceless.
Yes, I was very disappointed when I clicked to read this post. Two things that I feel are often overpriced: chairs and nightstands. Sigh...
And I totally agree with niabassett, as well.
I think chairs tend to seem overpriced because they are more difficult to design/make.
With that said, I agree with the majority of the responders: the title of this post is misleading.
I've been looking at these http://www.worldmarket.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11108348&clickid=body_rv_img
which seem to be an sort of kind of knock off of the 9.Tolix Marais A56 Armchair for $275 at Design Within Reach They're $100 each and I really like the color of the metal better...
Whoa! $499 for a "molded plywood" chair? Uh, not on MY budget! They look great, but this may be "budget living" for people who make 100k a year.
Apartment Therapy: Why would you post something like this in budget living? The more I read this blog lately, the more I feel like a have-not.
Where is the table from on the third image, top row with the CB2 contact chair?

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla ran at the American Legion Hall in Reseda on Saturday night. The show started an hour and a half late due to the crowd being bigger than expected. At least 500 or so fans were in attendance, and the venue was very packed to the point where it was hard to get around and people were standing everywhere. The atmosphere was really amazing for this show.
By Jonathan Sarpolis
Here's a quick report on PWGs 'Express Written Consent' show from last night in Reseda, CA:
-The show started over an hour late as there was a HUGE turnout for the small venue. Biggest crowd I've ever seen in this small venue. It was a long, creative process, to ensure that everyone was allowed inside with Fire Marshall approval. The result was a jam packed house that was quite excited that they were going to see something special. The one downside was that there was little room for the athletes to maneuver, but you wouldn't have noticed they way they worked.
1. Zokre (of Los Luchas) over Scorpio Sky
2. B-Boy over T.J. Perkins...B-Boy looked good in his return, and despite being a hated heel, T.J. was given a great, 'Thank You T.J.' chant following his last bout before moving to Florida.
-Paul London came out and cut a promo briefly explaining his behavior in recent interviews were he has viciously bashed WWE.
3. El Generico over Kenny Omega
4. Austin Aries over Necro Butcher-No DQ
5. Chris Hero over Human Tornado and COLT CABANA to retain the PWG World Title... After a few opening minutes between long rivals Hero & Tornado, the bout was interrupted by an unknown voice revealed to be Colt Cabana. He got a ridiculous pop for the surprise appearance, cut a promo, and asked to be inserted into the bout. Great stuff.
6. Paul London & the Young Bucks over Joey Ryan, Scott Lost, and Karl Anderson...Match of the Night. London had a few mishaps, but shook of the rust and had a fantastic performance. Everyone else really stepped up as well to make this something special. Great stuff and a great reaction to London during the promo earlier, the match, and the aftermath.
Exciting show with all of the returns from Scorpio Sky, to B-Boy, to Karl Anderson, to the big one in Paul London, and the HUGE surprise in Colt Cabana.

Comments On Sep 08, 2014:Just started using No Toil air filter products this year. So far have been very happy with them. I don't use the grease that comes in the kit, but its cheaper to buy the whole kit than to buy the bottles of oil and cleaner separate.

Comments On May 24, 2014:Happiness is pulling the filter out of the filthy water and marveling at how clean the filter is. Simply rinse out the solution, squeeze dry, then air dry filter. Next enjoyable moment is pouring all the sediment from wash bucket down the drain. The No Toil oil trapped all that sediment from getting in my motor and then the cleaner simply pulled it out of the filter whilst being non-toxic. I've tried Oxy Clean before but it doesn't remove the grease or clean nearly as well.

Those who are my age or thereabout lived through the Great Depression. We started to school in 1928 and finished in 1939, as there were only 11 grades in school back then.
Life had been hard since jobs were hard to get and money was scarce. Tight budgets were still in place when I was in High School.
Our Home Ec cottage was a small white frame building just past the 1925 High School Building.
The front part of the building was where we had our written lessons, with a kitchen, sewing room and a dining room behind that room. There was a tiny room upstairs that was the "sick room" where students waited to be carried home or to catch the school bus home.
I remember Miss Elouise Sanders who was our Home Economics teacher. Later, she married John Watkins.
The cooking lessons seem funny now, but I never questioned the lessons back then because it was how we learned. The money for the Home Ec classes was short and we had to make do with what our teacher could afford to use.
The first cooking lesson that I had was learning to prepare breakfast food. She had each of us cook one (1) prune in a pan of water. And then the cooking of Cream of Wheat entailed having one (1) teaspoon of Cream of Wheat to prepare. I don't remember just how little water that I used but it must have been a very little.
There was no money for us to purchase school supplies and apparently the State of Louisiana realized that.
They issued each of us a tablet of rough paper, I think it was called a "Big Chief" tablet, and we received 21 sheets of lined white notebook paper. This was for a month.
We also received a little cedar pencil. That paper was dear to me. I was taking typing and I typed my papers for homework on the lined notebook paper. When that gave out I used the rough off-white tablet paper to type on.
Up until a couple of years ago I still had some of the reports that I typed in 1938. The business teacher was lenient. She never chided me on what I had typed my homework on.
When I hand wrote homework for some class, I wrote exceedingly small to conserve the paper.
I didn't feel deprived because I had never had plenty of paper since I started school in 1928 and lived all my school days during the depression.
In years gone by the Home Economics classes had made smocks their freshman year in sewing classes. Now they make little aprons – that required about a fourth of the yardage to make a smock.
I remember that the material to make the pajamas I made my second year in Home Ec cost 15 cents a yard, and it was a good fabric. Three yards would make the pajamas at a cost of 45 cents, plus a spool of thread and a pattern.
We had projects that we selected to do at home for part of our homework. I listened to some of the girls' reports and I knew that some of them were "lying through their teeth" about the meals that they said they prepared for their families.
It sounded like a dream meal, and I knew that they were not able to afford what they said they prepared.
They were too proud to tell what they really had for their meal. Miss Sanders never questioned their reports. I think she did not want to embarrass the girls. She never ridiculed the simple things most of us took as our project. She made me want to be a Home Ec teacher like she was.
Almost all of those who lived through those years in the thirties were in the same situation. Not enough money to take care of necessities, much less things that we would have liked to have.
It may be that I may have to draw on my memories of how my mother and I coped during those years once again if a depression returns.
One thing that irks me today is the statement of people who say that the reason some young man or woman gets into trouble is because they live in poverty. Not so.
Many of my age group had little to wear, had little to eat, and worked at any job we could get, no matter how little it paid.
I cannot think of a single member of my 1939 class of 84 students that became criminals or commited any criminal act.
Many of our classmates went on to college, many with their GI Bill of Rights, and achieved success in their chosen fields.
So crime is not always the result of hunger, or lack of money. Someone has said that it is not the wind that blows, but it is the set of your sails that determine where you will go.
No matter how bad times were my mother would always emphasize the right way to live, the way Jesus expected Christians to conduct their lives.
I feel like the reason so many of my classmates went on to higher and better things in life was because of the families they were reared in and the values they were taught by the example of their parents.
When I pass the 1925 High School Building I remember the white cottage, our Home Ec Cottage. that was on the other side of the brick building (that little white building has now been torn down.).
And I remember that one little prune, and I can just see that teaspoon of Cream of Wheat.
Now it is almost funny, but it was deadly serious back then. We wanted to learn and the principle was the same for one prune or for a package of prunes. Miss Sanders (Mrs. Watkins) was just one of the many teachers that meant so much to me and I will never forget.
I wanted to be a Home Ec teacher just like her, but there was no money for college so I ended up taking a business course, taking all the bookkeeping that was offered. (And I am still using those skills today as I still keep books for a road sub-contractor) And I still use the things that Miss Sanders (later Mrs. Watkins) taught me.
Do you know how to cook prunes?
Juanita Agan passed away in October, 2008 at the age of 85. She had been a Minden resident since 1935 and a columnist for the Press-Herald since 1995. A constant writer, Mrs. Agan had many stories written but unpublished. The Press-Herald will continue to publish these articles as long as they are submitted.

2010 Nuclear Posture Review: Key Policy Recommendations (2010)
On March 1, 2010, the Obama administration is scheduled to release its much anticipated Nuclear Posture Review (NPR). Mandated by Congress, this review will set the overall tone and direction for U.S. nuclear weapons policy for the next 5-10 years. This review gives the administration the opportunity to make a clean break from Cold War thinking, practices and doctrine that are no longer appropriate for today's security threats.
The review will examine and provide guidance on a range of critical issues, such as the role and purpose of our nuclear arsenal, how many and what types of them do we need, and the necessary resources we need to maintain them. It also provides an opportunity to change dangerous practices and policies, such as maintaining weapons on high alert or deploying tactical nuclear weapons in other countries.
Below is a letter sent to President Obama and other administration officials on February 1, 2010 organized by UCS and signed by former government officials, experts, and non-governmental organizations, outlining specific policy suggestions the president should include in the Nuclear Posture Review.
The Importance of Transforming U.S. Nuclear Weapons Policy
February 1, 2010
President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington DC 205100
Dear Mr. President,
In your historic address last April in Prague you pledged "to put an end to Cold War thinking" and said "we will reduce the role of nuclear weapons in our national security strategy and urge others to do the same."
The steps you outlined are vital to maintain U.S. security. Our current nuclear forces, policies and posture are a legacy of the Cold War effort to deter the Soviet Union—a country that, as you noted, no longer exists.
The challenge has evolved from deterring the Soviet Union to working with Russia and other countries to stop the further spread of nuclear weapons and know-how that could end up in the hands of terrorists.
We write to you out of concern that your soon-to-be-completed Nuclear Posture Review will preserve rather than put an end to Cold War thinking, and undermine the important agenda you set forth in Prague.
We respectfully urge you to ensure the review advances today's highest security priorities: preventing terrorists or additional states from obtaining or using nuclear weapons, reducing global stockpiles, and moving toward a world without nuclear weapons. To do so, the NPR must effect transformational rather than incremental changes in the following key areas:
1. Declaratory Policy: It is inconceivable today that you or any other president would conclude the first use of nuclear weapons is in our national interest, especially in light of our conventional military power. Indeed, the logical corollary to your call to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons is that all non-nuclear threats can be met with a conventional response. The new NPR should clearly narrow the purpose of nuclear weapons to deterring nuclear attacks on the United States and our allies, and it should assure states without nuclear weapons that are parties in good standing to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) that they will not face nuclear threats from the United States.
Ambiguity about the purpose of U.S. nuclear forces provides little deterrent value at a high cost; it undermines the credibility of our conventional deterrent, complicates our nonproliferation diplomacy, and can be used by other countries to justify their pursuit or improvement of nuclear weapons.
2. Deeper Reductions in Nuclear Stockpiles: If the United States adopted a core nuclear deterrence posture, it would facilitate a shift to a stockpile of hundreds rather than thousands of nuclear weapons. In this context, we applaud your efforts to reach a START Follow-on Treaty with the Russians in order to reestablish bilateral cooperation on nuclear armaments. The Nuclear Posture Review should make clear, however, that the United States is able and willing to undertake further significant reductions in its deployed nuclear warheads provided that Russia is a willing partner. We urge you to insure that new guidance reflects this determination.
As a step toward future reductions, the NPR should signal that forward-deployed U.S. nuclear weapons are no longer essential to preserving the security of the NATO alliance. The actual removal of such weapons should await formal consultations within NATO and may, in part, depend on arms control negotiations with Russia. But a useful first step would be the immediate consolidation of remaining forward-deployed nuclear weapons to one or two U.S. airbases in Europe.
3. Reducing the Risks of a Rapid Launch Posture: During the Cold War, both the United States and the Soviet Union kept thousands of nuclear weapons ready to be launched within minutes of a decision to do so. Today, both the United States and Russia each still maintain about one thousand weapons on day-to-day alert and—as you have undoubtedly noticed—the nuclear "football" shadows you just as it shadowed your predecessors during the Cold War. The guidance signed by your predecessors continues to establish a requirement for a massive prompt use of U.S. nuclear weapons within the flight time of a Russian ballistic missile in the mistaken belief that such an option creates uncertainty that helps deter a deliberate Russian attack.
We conclude, rather, that the existence of large, alert U.S. forces trained and ready to launch on a few minutes notice does not serve the purpose of making war less likely. Restructuring our forces to provide high confidence that our weapons and command and control would survive an attack would remove the requirement for a prompt response and put you in a better position to manage a crisis.
4. No New Nuclear Warheads: The NPR should clarify your January 2009 pledge "not to authorize new nuclear weapons" by establishing that it is U.S. policy not to develop or produce newly designed warheads, or to modify existing warheads for the purpose of creating new military capabilities.
Advances in the stockpile stewardship program over the past decade demonstrate that the United States can maintain a safe, secure, and reliable nuclear stockpile through a properly funded program of non-nuclear tests and evaluations and, as necessary, the remanufacture of key components to previous design specifications. As the fully informed JASON independent technical review panel concluded in September 2009, the "lifetimes of today's nuclear warheads could be extended for decades, with no anticipated loss in confidence." Efforts to pursue newly designed warheads are technically unnecessary and would undercut our efforts to convince other nations to forgo nuclear weapons or to refrain from developing new and more advanced types of nuclear warheads.
We applaud your work thus far to advance efforts to reduce the nuclear weapons threat and urge you to seize the opportunity to transform outdated U.S. nuclear weapons policy to meet the nuclear security challenges of the 21st century. Doing so will not only increase the security of the United States, but firmly establish your legacy as the president who turned the tide against the nuclear threat.

Are MLB executives baked?
By Chad Barron|November 15, 2012,
Let me start by congratulating Miguel Cabrera and Buster Posey for winning MVP honors in their respective leagues. Especially Cabrera who had a hard fought battle with the American League Rookie of the year Mike Trout from the LA Angels.
Now, let's take a look at this video with MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and Joe Torre talking about possible changes to Major League Baseball in 2013. Is it just me, or does it seem like they just walked out of a clam bake in the press conference green room? These guys are jibber jabbing away and look like they would sell their firstborn children for a unicorn with Twinkies.
