Everything you can expect from the price. A bit better than most assemble yourself furniture. Quick free shipping was nice too. This furniture will survive multiple moves. Not top of the line but not near that price either.

I am pleased with the look of the headboard. We attached it to rails and it is floppy. We reinforced the back and it's fine now. Looks like real wood.

Music Review: Brilliance of Stravinsky deliveredBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | February 18,2013Caroline Whiddon photo
Ronald Braunstein rehearses the ME2/strings at the University of Vermont Recital Hall in Burlington.BURLINGTON — The ME2/strings and their music director, Ronald Braunstein, proved artists of skill and depth Saturday at the University of Vermont Recital Hall, in a brilliant performance of a complex and masterful Stravinsky ballet.
This was the third program in the first season of the ME2/strings, a chamber orchestra made up of 25 professional string players from around the region, created by Braunstein. In Saturday's concert, they went further, technically and musically, than in their previous two programs.
Igor Stravinsky's 1927-1928 "Apollon Musagete" was commissioned by Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge for a contemporary music festival at the Library of Congress. The 10-movement ballet, based on Greek mythology, is a masterpiece of intimate and subtle classicism, the antithesis of the composer's brilliant, raucous and bawdy "Rite of Spring" — though no less moving.
Braunstein led his fine players deftly with precision as well as an innate sense of the work's drama and sensual beauty. Although the work is full of striking, sometimes haunting dissonances, there is an overall sheen of purity and beauty. Braunstein successfully maintained this ethereal quality, at the same time accentuating the inner machinations that drove the drama.
The orchestra's instrumentalists delivered the necessary precision and clarity as well as the work's subtleties and drama. Concertmaster Jane Bearden played the many violin solos effectively and beautifully, often matched by the other principals. This was a magnificent performance of a great masterpiece.
Most familiar, though, was Dvorak's Serenade for Strings, Opus 22. Braunstein and his strings thoroughly enjoyed the overt lyricism of this crowd-pleaser, as well as the Bohemian harmonies that give it its rich beauty. The performance wasn't as refined in its sound quality or precision as the Stravinsky, and there were overwrought moments (such as at the end of the Larghetto), but it was a joyful and rewarding performance.
The concert opened with a charming performance of another popular gem, Respighi's "Ancient Airs and Dances," Suite III ("Italiana"). The playing was spirited, precise and lyrical.
Vermont is fortunate to have a new ensemble of such a high caliber.
The ME2/strings, conducted by Ronald Braunstein, will perform Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," Tchaikovsky's "Souvenir de Florence" and Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 11, at the University of Vermont Recital Hall in Burlington.

Dazzling Dzeko-Silva combination lights up City
To the memory of Bert Trautmann, a lusty round of applause. The great man, famous for keeping City's goal intact while nursing a "broken neck," was remembered before kickoff by a full house that was both aware of its past and thirsty for its future. City versus Newcastle, a game of tradition, sky blue against black and white. Trautmann, Frank Swift, Joe Corrigan versus Jackie Milburn, Malcolm MacDonald and Alan Shearer. By the end of this all-action encounter, we had all been made aware that the modern-day versions of these great footballing institutions had reversed tradition: Here was Tim Krul, a goalkeeper, excelling for Newcastle, and Edin Dzeko, a striker, playing like a tall man possessed by the devil for City.
Manchester City are top of the table and played like a team of magicians in the 4-0 win against the Magpies.
- Jolly: City new boys off to a flyer
- Duffy: Dour start for disrupted Toon
The spirit and technique on show at the Etihad was at times mesmerising, reminiscent of times gone by, the flood of passes threaded from David Silva's magic left foot, the probing of Yaya Toure and the excellent Fernandinho, the thrust and control of Vincent Kompany and the incredible force of nature that is Sergio Aguero.
Above all of this stood one man, one unexpected man, who payed like his life depended on it, who linked with Silva like he had gone through an unreported summer marriage with him and whose touch and positional play reminded one of the most outstanding of centre-forward master classes on offer. Stand up and take a bow, Edin Dzeko, thought to be on his way out of the club this summer, thought to be a little bit of a waster, now throbbing with good intention, leading the line like a proper problem and revealing an understanding with Silva, which bordered at times on the psychedelic.
Manuel Pellegrini, introduced to City's faithful this summer in a creased polo shirt and baggy jeans, appeared on the touchline suited and booted, his sky-blue tie knotted high and straight, loud and proud. By halfway through this exercise in patience, punch and possession, Pellegrini had transformed from the debutant manager grateful for the warm local welcome to a football man issuing tactical nuances without removing his hands from his expensive pockets. A nod of the head here, a lean to the right there, a cornucopia of subtle and relaxed attempts at body language were there for all to see. He was very quickly an observer of all the little things he had whispered quietly in a variety of ears 24 hours earlier. His team flowed like the incoming tide, a vibrant mass of unstoppable energy
The shape and movement, the fluidity and aggression. A package of attributes that, once Newcastle had realized they were coming at them in one cohesive parcel, they fell apart in a dazzling explosion of wild tackles and misplaced brutality. Alan Pardew, a man with enough grey hair to start a tribute band, watched in increasing discomfort, as City's one-touch majesty re-routed possession of the ball far from his bewildered players.
His men were a step behind all over the pitch. Without ever becoming abject, Newcastle United were made to look just a small step above poor, their plight typified by Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa, a willing tackler but offering just too much in the afters stakes. If he was odds-on for the first red card of the night, it may have come as a slight surprise that it was in fact Steven Taylor who left the field of play first, after a blatant handball in the penalty area had gone unnoticed by the referee, but a minute later his cuff to the neck of Sergio Aguero did not.
Newcastle with 10 men provided City with the same sort of challenge that their 11 had: numbers, tackles and a degree of harrying. Nothing more than this. They were shaken, stirred and a little disoriented by City's dynamic one-touch passing, high pressing and all-energy game. Above all came the astonishing Dzeko-Silva combination. Dzeko's raking right to left wing ball found Silva perfectly, just as Silva's typically dinked pass put the giant Bosnian through for a clutch of chances on goal. The big man was almost unrecognisable, the little man in typical form. It all added to a display of precision and technique, power and possession, spirit and thrust that was far too much for the visitors to swallow.
With a clear handball by Taylor and a perfectly good goal by Alvaro Negredo ruled out by the referee, it was not beyond the realms of the imagination to picture a six-goal thrashing on the opening day of the season. We know by now not to count our chickens, but it was difficult not to think of what Bert Trautmann might be doing in the great penalty area in the sky this evening after such a barn-storming display. More than likely he would have been doing just what the stadium's occupants had been doing for him at the beginning of the evening's entertainment: clapping lustily.

Wall Street's bulls are sniffing out new highs.
With the small cap Russell 2000 hitting record levels for a third day Tuesday, traders are watching to see if the S&P 500 and Dow will follow it. The Dow, at Tuesday's close was within striking distance of its all-time closing high, just 109 points from 15,409 reached on May 28, and the S&P was just 1 percent away from the high it set on May 21, of 1,669.
"I didn't think it would get there this quickly, but it sure seems like it might make it," said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at Charles Schwab.
Stocks Wednesday were fluctuating in a narrow range, but lost some steam as rates began rising ahead of the Treasury's 1 p.m. EDT $21 billion 10-year auction.
"As we keep an eye on yields in the 10-year, it's going to keep being a factor in equities trading, especially as we get near resistance," said Art Hogan of Lazard Capital Markets. The S&P 500 was struggling to break resistance at 1,650, he said.
But if it can close above that level, the highs are not that far away.
"The key is (Dow) 15,340," said Paul LaRosa, chief market technician at Maxim Group. "If we close above that, the highs are in sight." The Dow closed up 75 points Tuesday, at 15,300, and the S&P 500 closed at 1,652, up 11. The number he is watching in the S&P 500, is 1,654, Tuesday's intraday high, and if it closes above that level, he expects to see new highs.
"It feels like we could get there and a lot of the technology names are looking pretty good, some of the regional banks look good," said LaRosa. "The consumer companies led it early on and now they're treading water while technology, banks and special situations have been powering this rally lately. … Retailers are one group that's been strong."
LaRosa said the two big threats to the rally are interest rates and earnings. Treasury yields were higher Wednesday, with the 10-year yield at 2.65 percent, up from Tuesday's 2.63 percent. The 10-year yield hit a high of 2.73 percent hit Friday, well above its early May low of 1.62 percent.
"There's some selling in the mortgage market. Mortgages are underperforming and we're getting ready for the auction," said John Briggs, senior Treasury strategist at RBS, of the move higher in yields.
"After the auction, you have the minutes at 2 and Bernanke at 4 so this is the path of least resistance," he said.

The minutes from the Fed's June meeting are released at 2 p.m. EDT. Traders expect to see some of the behind-the-scenes discussion that led Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to announce that the Fed could cut back its quantitative easing program before the end of the year.
Bernanke speaks at 4:10 p.m. from the National Bureau of Economic Research conference. His topic is "The First 100 Years: A Century of U.S. Central Banking: Goals, Frameworks, Accountability."
"There's concern that the last three times Bernanke's given a speech, the Bernanke effect has not been positive for equities," said Hogan. "That's a largely academic speech but he's going to take questions."
LaRosa said the longer term trend for yields is higher, but they may not make much headway for now.
"My feeling is rates will come lower before they head higher, but it's a good trend. It looks like higher yields are here to come, but I do think the 10-year could pull back to 2.25 but I would use that as an opportunity to sell rather than buy," said LaRosa. He said Bernanke's comments and the Fed's last meeting were the big catalysts for the recent rate move. "People will look at it, but these minutes are from before the employment report. I think people are resolved that the Fed is going to taper in September."
The strength of Friday's June jobs report further shifted the view on Wall Street that the Fed could start to wind down its $85 billion in monthly bond purchases as early as September. Despite that, stocks have been in rally mode since Friday.
"The market decided on Friday that good news is good news. That's a fundamental shift that frankly all of us involved in this industry are happy to see," said Frederick. There were 195,000 nonfarm payrolls added in June, but revisions for April and May took the six month average to about 202,000.

Brian Edmonds, head of interest rates at Cantor Fitzgerald, said he expects the auction to go well. "We saw what may be, at least shorter term, the high yields that we're going to see for a while," said Edmonds.
"There's no reason to think Bernanke is going to be showing his hand right now," he added. But traders will still monitor his comments, especially in the question and answer period following the speech.
After the close, Chevron gives an interim update on its results and Yum Brands reports earnings.

I've been knocking out pages on my sketchbook here and there and I can't help but feel that they're a little uninspired design-wise. I've certainly gotten better at anatomy stuff but creature design and costume design has been very tame. Not a lot of interesting stuff, I think. Certainly nothing I'd be willing to pick out later one and use for another thing.
But hey, I'll let you decide that so have a look!

It was not shipped properly. The box was torn open and there was only 41 bags which most were dirty and torn. William placed a new order which I just got and was perfect.
It was exactly what we needed.
It looked exactly as designed and as expected.
Sturdy and looks great
The product is great and the customer service exceptional. Nothing not to like!
The ordering process was painless from start to finish.
Most: Jade assisted me with my product order to ensure satisfaction. Least: N/A
Irene was VERY helpful. We wanted to print a two color logo on a plastic bag. Initially I was told there had to be a 1/4" space between the two colors. This was not an option as the client didn't want their logo altered. Irene researched the issue and suggested a "stamp" menthod of printing that allowed us to not alter the logo. My client was very happy with the bags!!
We ordered three items this past month for a trade show, and the graphic for each was outstanding. Edwin Fabian was my contact and he did a great job of communicating with me to make the logo work based on the different products, and to assist with some last minute shipping.
The quality of the product was spot on. We had received several samples from other vendors, but none matched the quality of your bag.
The bags we ordered are nice, I guess I didn't understand plastic thicknesses. We'll have to see if they'll hold up during our next job fair.
I couldn't believe the help I received with hardly no effort on my part. Thank you so much.
They were very good and sturdy enough. We used them for a tradeshow and they worked great! Excellent! We're running low and we'll be ordering again.
The online tool used to design the bag showed the imprinted logo MUCH larger. The resulting bag was fine, but not what I designed or hoped for.
Gerri was great to work with, despite the fact that I was all over the place.
The item does the job and the price cannot be beat!

Comments On Sep 03, 2013:I am on my second set of these tires and absolutely love them. They perform great wet or dry and get decent mileage out of a 600lb bike with 120 ft lbs of torque. Wet braking is excellent as well. Warms up quickly as well. I will say that when they get down to the last of the tread it seems that it wears through the hard compound in the center into the softer compound and the last of tire goes real fast. I replace the front about 2k miles after the rear.

Comments On Apr 29, 2011:I love the wet traction and the long wear. I usually get over 13000 miles from a set. The front usually can go longer but I like to change the set together.

ETC began more than three decades ago with the conviction that there was a better way to make a lighting control console. There was. We developed one of the first microprocessor-based systems, which boasted the then blindingly fast 2MHz 8080 CPU! Now our popular lighting control consoles – including the Eos®, Congo® and Smart Solutions™ lines – are thousands of times more powerful than those groundbreaking early versions.
We also found that the HPL lamp is a better way to create brilliant light in the Source Four® – with unmatched light output and energy savings. Over 3 million award-winning Source Four fixtures are now lighting venues and productions worldwide. In addition, we offer a better way to seize the efficiencies of LED lighting with the eco-friendly Selador Series™. Selador LED luminaires give you the punch and power that theater and broadcast productions require, plus a stunningly beautiful, unprecedented seven-color range.
With our Unison® line, comprising Paradigm®, SmartLink®, and Mosaic™ products, we give you a far better – and greener – way to handle sophisticated architectural lighting, as well as building-systems and dynamic show control.
We are also dedicated to safer, smarter and more affordable ways to operate. After working on thousands of lighting installations worldwide, we have developed a new range of rigging products with the same spirit of pioneering technological innovation as in our lighting equipment. ETC Prodigy™ hoists and QuickTouch™ controls literally raise the bar.
ETC is constantly changing, adjusting to fit your needs. We've grown from a few college-student entrepreneurs in 1975, to over 700 talented people in offices worldwide today. No matter how much we grow, we always stay close to our creative and hard-driven roots in theater and lighting design.
We also believe there is a better way to serve customers. The exceptional ETC people who have made these products possible are the real secret to our success. Our regional offices and over 200 authorized service providers around the world are ready to do what it takes to solve your problem.
The show must go on. That's the ETC ethic.
ETC's 325,000-square-foot headquarters in Middleton, Wisconsin, built in 2004 and expanded in 2009, is the hub of the company's global operations and an homage to the art of lighting and entertainment. Virtually a theater in its own right, ETC's 'Town Square' atrium stages a 1940's street, complete with a life-size recreation of the famous Nighthawks painting by Edward Hopper. Set-like façades such as a marquee theater and an Art Deco skyscraper hide real departments. When the 300+ ETC Source Fours in the ceiling rig are bright, the scrim-like walls create the illusion of solid city structures. When the lights are artfully dimmed by an ETC lighting control system, the workaday world of ETC materializes into view.
The building was designed by Strang, Inc., ETC CEO Fred Foster, and Erdman Development Group.
A vital center of ETC's European operations since 1995 when ETC partnered with ARRI GB, ETC's London office is a 28-person sales and service call center serving the United Kingdom and a large segment of Europe, as well as a source of event-coordination and research and development.
In 2005, ETC's London office moved into a new 15,000-square-foot building, complete with demo and conference spaces, which draws all the London staff under one roof. In keeping with ETC philosophy, a beautifully designed atrium serves as a gathering space for employees and guests. Paying tribute to ETC's theatrical roots, the atrium is designed to resemble 19th Century Victorian and Edwardian theaters, complete with sculpted columns, carved archways, working stage curtains, a proscenium arch and authentic vintage seats. Brilliantly painted scrim-walls even provide the audience – including renderings of the atrium's designers Sue McElhaney, Bill 'Flash' Florac, and ETC CEO Fred Foster. Visitors to the office forget they've entered an office building and feel like they're stepping on stage. Reflecting the image and work of ETC, the building's office furniture, designed by Erdman Development Group design-build architect Frank Miller, mimics the office furniture in ETC's Middleton, Wisconsin headquarters.

Dragon publicity boost for Blackburn company (From This Is Lancashire)
Dragon publicity boost for Blackburn company
5:15pm Monday 9th December 2013 in News
A BLACKBURN company has been named as the winner of a social media-based competition run by a former Dragon's Den star.
Smart Thermostat manufacturer, Heatmiser, was chosen by Theo Paphitis as the winner of his #SBS competition on twitter.
The online competition, which stands for Small Business Sunday, was created by the entrepreneur in October 2010.
Each week Mr Paphitis rewards small businesses across the country that tweet him @TheoPaphitis and describe their business in 140 characters or less.
He then reviews and chooses his favourites who are then re-tweeted to his 402,000 followers.
As a winner of the competition, office manager Sarah Greenwood and managing director Gordon Kay were invited to an SBS event in Birmingham.
Martyn Kay, a director at Heatmiser UK, said: "We are really chuffed that Theo took the time to read our tweet and our new website.
"We have put so much time and effort into the development Neo, our smart phone heating control system, and Theo's recognition of our company is amazing.
"Product development is key at Heatmiser.
"We listen to feedback from customers and react with great products.
"We are proud to have been one of the first companies in the UK to launch a Wi-Fi enabled thermostat in 2011.
"The demand for smart phone control of the heating system has continued to grow ever since."
The tweet that helped the company win the competition was: "@HeatmiserUK: Introducing Neo @TheoPaphitis #sbs The SmartPhone way to control your heating neo.heatmiser.com"

Stay Away from this Dealership! Horrible Experience – In March of this year, I located a Certified PreOwned Genesis at Cammisa Hyundai. While the salesman was very personable on the phone and relatively easy to work with, it became apparent that what was being communicated was less than accurate. Being an out of state buyer and someone that already specializes in attention to detail, I was extremely disappointed in the execution of the sale. After arranging to have the vehicle shipped from San Francisco to my home town outside of Phoenix, in an enclosed carrier, I made it a point to discuss the detail and condition of the vehicle with several dealership employees. Unfortunately, when the vehicle arrived, it was obvious that the vehicle had not been detailed as promised (this was evident by food in the cupholders, plant debris on the floorboards, filthy car windows and a generally dirty interior - almost as if the vehicle had just been taken in on trade), the vehicle was also missing items like the cigarette lighter, floor mats and the Genesis trim badging that was supposed to be installed as part of the sales contract. In my mind, these are very simple issues that could've been tended to however simply were not. It's not the issues themselves that was most bothersome rather the lack of customer service and communication from the same individuals that assured me that the above was not going to be an issue. If you are expecting to get great customer service as part of your buying experience, I would strongly encourage you to look elsewhere.
I highly recommend this service department for work on your Hyundai. Oh, and decent prices too. Surprising for work from a dealership.
Highly Recommend – At no time did I ever receive service quite like I did from this Service department. A spotless office, energetic staff and a Service Director that was one of the most courteous, professional and knowledgeable people I have ever met in a Hyundai Service department. With Manny I never felt like I was getting the run-around, nor did he ever make me feel I was too ignorant to understand what was happening to my car (which is something I experienced all too often at other Hyundai dealerships.)
Manny and his team took it the extra mile, and for that I will always take my car to Cammisa Hyundai for all work and maintenance so long as I am living in the Bay Area.
I highly recommend this service department for work on your Hyundai. Oh, and decent prices too. Surprising for work from a dealership.
Great Service, and I got a great deal on my new Elantra....
Traveled 65 miles to purchase vehicle from Cammisa. Sales cycle was excellent.
It was professional and efficient and the staff was pleasant.
It was a wonderful experience...I was amazed how quickly we came to a mutually agreeable price for the car. Thank you!
Our relationship with Cammisa Motor Cars is wonderful! The technicians are very knowledgable about their work and their customer service are exceptional every time we visit them. Thank you very much!
Don't believe everything you read about this place.! I walked in met a the internet sales manager, Kevin and we talked about 9 am about the Elantra Touring 2010. He talked to me about a price, and I told him I was going to do some shopping. No hassle no pressure, I landed back around 3pm, he was with someone. Another Salesmane Mark met us. I explained we were back to buy the Elantra, and we wante Kevin. Mark needed to cover for Kevin, he was obviously busy with clients.
Kevin gave him the price we discussed in the am, Mark went away and within 60 mins, I was finished. The car was being detailed, and I felt good. No pressure, some discussion, no guise. No games.
While the crew detailed the 2010 Elantra Touring for me, the owner happened by. A cordial man, who went out of his way to thank us for the business. My tank was full, the car was spotless, the price was right. Don't always believe what you read, if you are ready to buy the car, these guys were a pleasure to deal with.

On a moonless January night in 2003, Olivier de Kersauson, the French yachtsman, was racing across the Atlantic Ocean, trying to break the record for the fastest sailing voyage around the world, when his boat mysteriously came to a halt. There was no land for hundreds of miles, yet the mast rattled and the hull shuddered, as if the vessel had run aground. Kersauson turned the wheel one way, then the other; still, the gunwales shook inexplicably in the darkness. Kersauson ordered his crew, all of whom were now running up and down the deck, to investigate. Some of the crew took out spotlights and shone them on the water, as the massive trimaran—a three-hulled, hundred-and-ten-foot boat that was the largest racing machine of its kind, and was named Geronimo, for the Apache warrior—pitched in the waves.
Meanwhile, the first mate, Didier Ragot, descended from the deck into the cabin, opened a trapdoor in the floor, and peered through a porthole into the ocean, using a flashlight. He glimpsed something by the rudder. "It was bigger than a human leg," Ragot recently told me. "It was a tentacle." He looked again. "It was starting to move," he recalled.
He beckoned Kersauson, who came down and crouched over the opening. "I think it's some sort of animal," Ragot said.
Kersauson took the flashlight, and inspected for himself. "I had never seen anything like it," he told me. "There were two giant tentacles right beneath us, lashing at the rudder."
The creature seemed to be wrapping itself around the boat, which rocked violently. The floorboards creaked, and the rudder started to bend. Then, just as the stern seemed ready to snap, everything went still. "As it unhooked itself from the boat, I could see its tentacles," Ragot recalled. "The whole animal must have been nearly thirty feet long."
The creature had glistening skin and long arms with suckers, which left impressions on the hull. "It was enormous," Kersauson recalled. "I've been sailing for forty years and I've always had an answer for everything—for hurricanes and icebergs. But I didn't have an answer for this. It was terrifying."
What they claimed they saw—a claim that many regarded as a tall tale—was a giant squid, an animal that has long occupied a central place in sea lore; it has been said to be larger than a whale and stronger than an elephant, with a beak that can sever steel cables. In a famous scene in "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," Jules Verne depicts a battle between a submarine and a giant squid that is twenty-five feet long, with eight arms and blue-green eyes—"a terrible monster worthy of all the legends about such creatures." More recently, Peter Benchley, in his thriller "Beast," describes a giant squid that "killed without need, as if Nature, in a fit of perverse malevolence, had programmed it to that end."
Such fictional accounts, coupled with scores of unconfirmed sightings by sailors over the years, have elevated the giant squid into the fabled realm of the fire-breathing dragon and the Loch Ness monster. Though the giant squid is no myth, the species, designated in scientific literature as Architeuthis, is so little understood that it sometimes seems like one. A fully grown giant squid is classified as the largest invertebrate on Earth, with tentacles sometimes as long as a city bus and eyes about the size of human heads. Yet no scientist has ever examined a live specimen—or seen one swimming in the sea. Researchers have studied only carcasses, which have occasionally washed ashore or floated to the surface. (One corpse, found in 1887 in the South Pacific, was said to be nearly sixty feet long.) Other evidence of the giant squid is even more indirect: sucker marks have been spotted on the bodies of sperm whales, as if burned into them; presumably, the two creatures battle each other hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface.
The giant squid has consumed the imaginations of many oceanographers. How could something so big and powerful remain unseen for so long—or be less understood than dinosaurs, which died out millions of years ago? The search for a living specimen has inspired a fevered competition. For decades, teams of scientists have prowled the high seas in the hope of glimpsing one. These "squid squads" have in recent years invested millions of dollars and deployed scores of submarines and underwater cameras, in a struggle to be first.
Steve O'Shea, a marine biologist from New Zealand, is one of the hunters—but his approach is radically different. He is not trying to find a mature giant squid; rather, he is scouring the ocean for a baby, called a paralarva, which he can grow in captivity. A paralarva is often the size of a cricket.
"Squid, you see, hatch thousands of babies," O'Shea told me recently, when I called him at his office at the Earth and Oceanic Sciences Research Institute, at the Auckland University of Technology. "Most of these will get eaten up by larger predators, but during periods of spawning the sea should be filled with an absolutely fantastic amount of these miniature organisms. And, unlike the adults, they shouldn't be able to dart away as easily."
Rival hunters once viewed his plan skeptically: if no one could find the animal when it was sixty feet long, how could anyone discover it when it was barely an eighth of an inch? Lately, though, many have come to see O'Shea's strategy as a potential breakthrough. "It offers several advantages," Clyde Roper, an American who is perhaps the world's foremost expert on squid, told me. Roper is a giant-squid hunter himself, who once descended underwater in a steel cage, in search of his quarry. "First, you could find the juvenile at shallower depths. That makes it a lot easier to catch. Furthermore, there are more of them around, because at that stage, even though mortality is high, the adult female will release up to four million eggs. That's a hell of a lot of baby giant squid running around." He added, "It's a matter of a numbers game, pure and simple."

Easy Out Parking is a little bit of walk towards the Safeco field but not really a big deal. The attendant was very helpful. going on line to purchase the parking spot saves you a couple of bucks. Easy access to I-5.
Easy to find -- friendly attendants -- and so convenient to Safeco Field - and easy access to the freeway after the event.
It was great! The lot was full but when we told them we prepaid, they gave us one of the 5 reserved spots in the front!!!
Good lot that's close
Easy to find, plenty of room, and close to the Safeco field!
Always good. Easy access, nice clean lot.
This is a surface gravel parking lot behind chain link fence. Look for the original Henry fish mural on the side of the building and the big banner "EASYOUTPARKING"!
Vehicle height restriction: 144 inches
This location is a commercial parking lot.
Nearby destinations: Showbox SoDo.
We are on the east side of 4th Ave South, just south of S Massachusetts St, across from the Qualstar Credit Union. Look for our Easy Out Parking Banner!! This lot is just 1 blocks south east of Safeco Field and two long blocks from Century Link Field.
Most importantly Easyout has the best access to I-5 and I-90 after the game!!

By Paul Tenorio | Orlando Sentinel UCF Writer
7:00 AM EST, November 9, 2012
Plenty at stake on this roadtrip west for UCF. Sure, UTEP is 2-7, but East Carolina lingers just a game back in the standings looking for a window. A win in Texas on Saturday night takes a ton of pressure off of the Knights in advance of the following week against Tulsa.
Does the challenge need to be spinned some? Sure. The Miners look like a very beatable team. But isn't that the definition of a trap game? It's not an easy road trip, a young quarterback is going to carry over some momentum into the game, and it's important for UCF to quelch those upset hopes early on Saturday.
On a personal note, I'm excited for some delicious Mexican food on this road trip. Former UCF beat writer Iliana Limon Romero is an El Paso native, so I've got some solid recommendations all set to go.
We've looked some more at UTEP and looked at some key to the games, but let's gather a few more snippets to prepare you for the match-up.
--- I am planning a tweet-up for next Thursday at 7 p.m. at Graffiti Junktion in Thornton Park. It's a chance for me to meet some of you, and for all of to discuss the program a couple days before a potentially massive game. Let me know via Twitter @OSKnights or @paultenorio if you can make it.
--- The Knights are 13.5 point favorites on the road against the Miners, a solid two-touchdown spread that isn't far off from how heavily UCF has been favored over the last few weeks. UCF was favored by 11 last week at home against SMU.
--- UCF's longest win streak? Seven games in 2007. The Knights have never won six straight games to open conference play, however, a mark they can hit on Saturday.
--- It appears UCF alum Elton Patterson deleted his controversial tweets from Tuesday night.
--- How bout this: UCF is the eighth-least penalized team in the FBS at four penalties a game. Discipline teams are usually good teams.
--- Latavius Murray has been pretty hot as of late, but last year against UTEP he ran for 233 yards, the fourth-most in program history in a 31-14 win.
--- UCF captains this week: seniors Kemal Ishmael, Latavius Murray and Jordan Rae. Scout Team Players of the Week: Cal Bloom & Luke Adams.
@UCFKNight_122: anything new on the recruiting front?
UCF will be looking to lock up a couple final commitments here, and hosted a couple intriguing names over Homecoming, most notably Florida Quinton Powell and Cincinnati recruit Marcus Levy visiting for the SMU game. Both would be nice commitments for UCF. They also hosted one official visit, OL Wilson Bell, and he appears to be one major target for the recruiting class.
@mike_rut: who do you think is going to win the opening bball game against usf ? are you going to do a match up article for the game ?
Look, UCF is going to be going through a growing and learning process early in the season. As I wrote today, this is a young team that has a season perfectly fitted to let guys learn by doing – that means taking their lumps and making mistakes. We'll get our first good look on Saturday against USF, and I'll be able to speak more confidently after that, but I imagine things will be a bit more difficult this early in the season for the Knights.
@Luvs_2_read: why is attendace so poor at football?
Well, that's a question I think a lot of people would like to answer and it can point in a number of directions. It's a young program that has yet to carry success and momentum from one season to the next and sustain it enough to really build a larger core. Winning this season and carrying over into the Big East next year is a prime opportunity.
@adam_crabtree: current argument on ucfsports.com re: why latavius murray hasn't played more throughout his career... Any insight?
I have heard a couple things from people close to the program that might explain it. Obviously, I was curious myself when I wrote about Latavius last week, and he even said he has gone through some natural disappointment of wanting to play more – as any competitive person would. I think Murray probably had to work his way back into good graces after nearly leaving the program, but beyond that I'm not sure what other reason there are. This season it was clear, he was not healthy. Once he was fully back, Latavius was back in the lineup and the offense has been completely different since.

Yes, it's gonna be a hot one this year. 102 degrees, or thereabouts. And the music's gonna be even hotter, baby! Tomorrow alone I'm going to try to catch the Noisettes, Satellite Party, Of Montreal, Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Rufus Wainwright, Peaches, Jesus & Mary Chain, my aforementioned future husband Jarvis Cocker (he just needs to divorce his impeccably chic fashion-mag-editor wife and, you know, actually meet me), Interpol, and Bjork. I'm obviously a Bjork fan judging by my feathered Halloween-costume pic at left; sadly I forgot to pack that 0utfit for this year's Coachella excursion , but it'd probably be too hot to wear it anyway.
So tonight was the calm before the desert storm. I went with my pal Mara to the annual Filter magazine Coachella pre-party, which--much to my delight--was sponsored by Red Bull this year. Of course, judging by my fatigued end-of-evening photo above, it doesn't look like I drank enough Red Bulls. Oh well. I just hope there's Red Bull at the VIP bar tomorrow too, because it's gonna be a looooooong day, and if I want to manage to fit in all the bands I perhaps a little too ambitiously plan to see, I'm gonna need my wings for sure.
All right, my craphole motel only has dial-up (this dearth of DSL is an Indio-wide problem, I've sadly discovered), and therefore this blog has taken much, much longer to write than is acceptable in the year 2007. So I'll sign off for now, but check back tomorrow for my report on all of Friday's (literally) hot rock action.

By the time you hold your new baby in your arms for the first time, chances are you've already chosen one of the most important people in your little one's early life — a doctor. You and your baby will probably visit the doctor more often during the first year than at any other time.
You may have had a prenatal visit with your baby's doctor-to-be to discuss some specifics, such as when he or she will see your newborn for the first time, office hours and on-call hours, who fills in when your doctor is out of the office, and how the office handles after-hours emergencies. You may have also learned the doctor's views on certain issues.
In this way, you've begun to forge a relationship with your baby's doctor that should last through the bumps, bruises, and midnight fevers to come.
Depending on your desires and the rules of the hospital or birth center where your baby is delivered, the first exam will either take place in the nursery or at your side:
Your baby will be given a first bath, and the umbilical cord stump will be cleaned. Most hospitals and birthing centers provide personal instructions (and sometimes videos) to new parents that cover feeding, bathing, and other important aspects of newborn care.
The hospital or birth center where you deliver will notify your child's doctor of the birth. If you have had any medical problems during pregnancy, if any medical problems for your baby are suspected, or if you are having a C-section, a pediatrician or your baby's doctor will be alerted of the impending birth and be standing by to take care of the baby.
The doctor you have chosen for your newborn will probably give your baby a full physical examination within 24 hours of birth. This is a good opportunity to ask questions about your baby's care.
A sample of your baby's blood (usually done by pricking the baby's heel) will be taken to screen for a number of diseases that are important to diagnose at birth so effective treatment can be started promptly. In some cases, a repeat sample to confirm the results will be taken by the baby's doctor soon after going home.
Find out when the doctor would like to see your newborn again. Most healthy newborns are routinely examined at the doctor's office at about 1 to 2 weeks old. But if your baby is discharged home less than 48 hours after delivery, your doctor will want to have your baby come to the office for a check within 48 hours after discharge.
During the first office visit, your doctor will assess your baby in a variety of ways. The first office visit will differ from doctor to doctor, but you can probably expect:
Also, if the results of screening tests performed on your newborn after birth are available, they may be discussed with you. Bring any questions or concerns to the doctor at this time. Jot down any specific instructions given regarding special baby care. Keep a permanent medical record for your baby that includes information about growth, immunizations, medications, and any problems or illnesses.
Babies are born with some natural immunity against infectious diseases because their mothers' infection-preventing antibodies are passed to them through the umbilical cord. This immunity is only temporary, but babies will develop their own immunity against many infectious diseases.
Breastfed babies receive antibodies and enzymes in breast milk that help protect them from some infections and even some allergic conditions.
At birth or shortly after, some infants receive their first artificial immunization, a hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) that is given in three doses. There are combination vaccines, however, that include HBV and are given at the 2-month visit. So other babies will receive no immunizations until 2 months of age.
In either case, it's wise to familiarize yourself with the standard immunization schedule.
Since small problems can indicate big problems for newborns, don't hesitate to call your doctor if you have concerns. Some difficulties to be aware of during this first month:

Vintage Pic Sizes, Shapes & Styles
Regardless of how washed-out or otherwise unidentifiable the subject matter may be, most of the time, you can still extract some information about a vintage photograph's origin simply by knowing a little about the history of photography. Here are some photo-themed genealogy resources to help you and everyone else on your family tree dig down to your roots!

Cartes de Visite (CDV)
The carte de visite was an extremely popular style of photograph that hit the US in 1860. The format was quite small, however, which led to it being pretty much replaced by the larger cabinet cards about a decade later. A carte de visite image was 2-1/8" x 3-1/2", and was mounted on a 2-1/2" x 4" card.
Cabinet cards
Cabinet cards were the go-to style for portraits starting in about 1866, and they remained a dominant choice for formal photographs for nearly 20 years. (See an example at right.)
The name "cabinet card" is thought to have been used because they were considered to be the ideal size for displaying in the home (in or on a cabinet). The wafer-thin photo layer was mounted on a piece of cardstock measuring 4-1/4" x by 6-1/2". Typically, some space was left at the bottom of the card so there was room for the photographer's insignia to appear.
Real photo postcards (RPPC)
The real photo postcard format was essentially just a picture printed on a blank postcard, but was very popular — and affordable — as the photos could be shot with the first mass-produced pocket camera, the Kodak 3A. The finished product (three examples at right) measured 3-1/2" x 5-1/2".

West Ham move to within three points of Chelsea. And the Blues have now not won for seven Premier League games - their worst run for 18 years. That's it, remember you can follow me on Twitter @dalejohnsonESPN
Chelsea went missing after the break, no answer to the increased tempo from the home side - and the visiting fans were far from happy.
West Ham were outstanding in the second half. The performance of Diame was out of the top drawer - which does make you ask why he didn't start.
And that's it! What a comeback from the Hammers! They beat Chelsea 3-1!
Upton Park is bouncing, bubbles floating around the air. There's going to be an East End knees up tonight!
The cross from the right finds Torres completely unamrked five yards out - and he heads straight at Jasskelainen.
Ashley Cole is caught in possession, Maiga feeds in Taylor put he saw his shot saved by Cech. The loose ball fell back to Maiga who powered the ball home.
Four minutes to be added on.
Now West Ham play it safe and take the corner short to waste time.
Nolan nips in round the back and wins another corner for the home side. The crowd are loving this now.
Nolan takes and puts it straight into the gloves of Cech. Not great play there to gift the ball back to Chelsea like that.
West Ham have their tails up, and Azpilicueta has to put the ball behind for a corner.
A final change for West Ham with that assist the last act from Cole, Maiga comes on.
O'Brien lifts a pass into Cole in the box, he holds it up well before laying off to Diame who fires in low from 15 yards out to give West Ham the lead!
Oscar shoots from the edge of the box, but can only put it over.
Back up the other end and Marin has a weak snap shot which Jasskelainen collects with ease.
...the header is arrowing into the net but Cole gets back superbly to head off the line.
In comes the corner, Reid is completely unmarked on the edge of the six-yard box and must put the Hammers in front...
But Jarvis never looks confident, and Cech stretches out to push his effort behind.
It opens up for West Ham! Noble sends Jarvis through on goal!
Chelsea win successive corners but can't create anything, but the pendulum has swung back to the visitors.
Demel deals with a cross - but only by putting the ball behind for a corner.
Moses is replaced by Marin - who looks to be carrying a bit timber
A shot from Mata on the corner of the box is well blocked.
Chelsea had that short spell after West Ham scored - but other than that have offered little in the second half.
Taylor takes the corner from the left this time, Reid wins the header and it's heading for the corner - but at the pace of a small child running across a playground and Cech collects.
More pressure from West Ham, Taylor tries to get there first with a header but Ramires is brave to block with his head.
And that's Hazard's last action of the game as he makes way for Oscar.
Jaaskelainen throws the ball out - but only to Hazard who tries to lob the keeper early but puts his effort way over.
Mikel is booked for dissent and is now one yellow card from a suspension.
It is now 12 hours since Chelsea's Fernando Torres last scored a Premier League goal.
Diame shoots from 30 yards, and it ends up somewhere near the Olympic Stadium.
Noble takes once more, and once more it fails to beat the near post.
Diame wins another corner, this time off Cahill.
This is breathless. Back up the other then and West Ham win successive corners - eventually Torres heads away at the near post to clear Chelsea's lines.
Mata takes a superb free-kick and it has Jaaskelainen beaten all ends up - but comes back off the post!
Noble brings down Ramires 25 yards from goal.
Now Chelsea attack, Hazard's drive from the edge of the box is well saved by Jaaskelainen - it falls to Torres who should score but his half-hearted effort is blocked.
Cole seemed to be climbing all over Ivanovic there, no foul from ref Atkinson who had given Chelsea everything before.
Azpilicueta gives the ball away, it comes to Jarvis whose cross deflects off the head of Cahill and loop to Cole who heads into the corner.
Awful cross from Noble on the right, straight out of play.
A breather for Chelsea as they win a free-kick over on the right, Mata takes but it's headed away.
West Ham have had 60% of the second half possession to Cheslea's 40%.
Chelsea are defending these set-pieces well, but you do think that if this continues West Ham will get one right.
Another set-piece for West Ham - this time Noble finds the gloves of Cech with a lofted ball from midfield who jumps above everyone.
West Ham come again, neat play from Jarvis and Nolan before a Chelsea defender just cuts off the ball across the six yard box.
Noble takes from the left, Torres heads away at the near post.
Jarvis wins a corner off Azpilicueta. Pressure building.
Fine left-footed cross from Taylor on the right. Nolan's shot is blocked before Cahill accidentally gets kicked in the face by Cole when stooping for the ball. Free-kick.
Collins takes the free-kick, Reid cannot find a team-mate when trying to hook a cross back into the box.
Straight away another free-kick to West Ham after Cole is pushed. Inside the Chelsea half so another chance to deliver.
It's floated in from the left close to Cech, but Nolan is clearly backing into the keeper and is penalised. The pressure is off.
Taylor drills a cross across the box, Nolan almost gets the there but it's still another corner.
It comes to Diame on the edge of the box and his power drive is blocked by Cahill, and eventually it results in another corner.
Cahill concedes a corner. West Ham have started well.
Jarvis chips a cross in for Cole to try a header from just behind the penalty spot - it goes over and needed something special to have brought a goal.
Cole penalised again in the box, this time for a stray hand on Ivanovic.
The offside flag goes up against Fernando Torres just as he seemed ready to run through on goal.
Two changes from West Ham. The ineffectual O'Neil and Tomkins replaced by Taylor and Diame. Much needed.
The second half is under way.
Join me for the second half, and don't forget I'm on Twitter: @dalejohnsonESPN
Chelsea deserve their lead, with West Ham offering nothing until the last minute of the half. But the visitors could be made to pay for not going into the interval more than one goal to the good.
Half-time at Upton Park.
The corner comes in from Noble, and Cech clatters through a team-mate to make sure he gets the ball away after he was to blame for all that pressure.
One minute to be added on.
It's taken short to Collins, whose shot is blocked and the ball eventually comes to Nolan who sees his header well tipped over by Cech.
So, a free-kick to West Ham on the edge of the box. Real chance right on half-time. West Ham's first shot of the match?
Handball outside the area by Cech! He came to try and deal with a bouncing long ball but punched from outside the box. Cahill had it covered too.
Chelsea dominating the possession, 58% to 42%.
Decent save from Jaaskelainen who got back across his box well - but in truth Mata should not have given him the chance to make the save.
Brilliant play by Moses, coming in from the left and bamboozling the Hammers defence. He cuts a pass through the eye of a needle to Mata - Jaaskelained claws it away and the Spaniard's effort on the rebound is blocked.
Juan Mata scored the first goal of Rafa Benitez's tenure at Chelsea
Noble takes but slips on the kick. Chelsea still don't look sure from the set-piece but there's no real danger.
Corner to West Ham, conceded by Ashley Cole.
This is a little better from West Ham as half-time nears.
And then a cross comes in from the right and Nolan fouls Cech. Correct decision this time for sure!
It's fair to say referee Atkinson has been quick to penalise West Ham in the Chelsea box. Considering some of the things you see in the penalty area that was nothing.
Jarvis crossed in from the left, and Collins nods across for Nolan who finds the net acrobatically. Collins is penalised for climbing on Ivanovic. Very, very harsh decision.
It's worked back to Hazard just inside the area, who cuts inside before firing just over the bar. Decent attempt.
Mata takes from the left, Collins gets there first at the near post to flick away with his head.
What seemed like a harmless cross from Azpilicueta is headed behind by Demel for a corner, Chelsea's third.
Sam Allardyce has got some serious work to do at half-time, it's like they are the away side.
Chelsea still passing it around well.
Torres does well to get in down the left, his pull-back for Hazard is terrible and gives the Belgian no chance of controlling it.
....Torres takes one touch before firing a shot into the back of the stand. That was worth about 50p rather than £50m.
Now Chelsea can break! It's Ramires again who is able to get into his stride and gets to the edge of the area before squaring across for Torres....
Noble takes and pumps the ball into the heart of the area - there's a bit of panic but Chelsea eventually get it away.
Azpilicueta fells Jarvis on the left flank. Now this could be dangerous.
Hazard takes the corner, but it comes to nothing.
As if on cue, Jarvis gives the ball away and it eventually results in a corner to Chelsea.
It's been a very sluggish performance by West Ham other than a couple of runs by Jarvis.
And as West Ham look to break Demel needlessly gives the ball away. That allows Ramires to burst in the area and find Moses - and he gets his shot all wrong from a similar position to Mata's goal. He should at least have hit the target.
Mata send in an in-swinger with his left foot and only finds the gloves on Jasskelainen.
Free-kick to Chelsea on the right flank. Mata to take.
Chelsea fans in fine voice, though that did include chanting Roberto di Matteo's name in the 16th minute - just three minutes after the goal.
Chelsea enjoying lots of possession now, playing the ball around with more confidence.
West Ham might be behind, but it's not as though Chelsea have dominated.
That is Fernando Torres' first Premier League assist of the season.
Moses slips in Torres, who made a fine run down the right channel. Torres cuts it back to the unmarked Mata 10 yards out who has the simple task of sidefooting home.
Still waiting for a shot of any description in this game.
As if on cue, Torres tries to go on a run through the centre but Noble steals the ball off his toes.
It is now 11 hours since Fernando Torres last scored a Premier League goal.
The ball is lobbed long into the box by Collins, Reid heads back across goal but the whistle has already gone for a foul before Nolan can collect.
Mikel penalised for a tug back on Nolan on the hal-way line.
Jarvis seeing plenty of the ball, but this time Azpilicueta shields it out for a goal kick
Here's our news story on Andy Carroll's injury
Nice play from Jarvis, who wins a corner off Azpilicueta. It comes in from the left and Cech claws away to safety.
Chelsea fans making all the noise early in the game.
Sam Allardyce is slouched back in his seat - he's effectively in bed.
Awful first touch from Torres in midfield, effectively passing the ball directly to O'Neil.
It's taken short before Mikel lobs one in - it's easy for West Ham to deal with.
Moses wins an early corner for Chelsea.
It's West Ham who kick off - bubbles floating through the air, pretty bubbles everywhere.
Out come the teams. Remember you can follow me on Twitter @dalejohnsonESPN
If Fernando Torres failed to score in the first 11 minutes he will have gone 11 hours without a Premier League goal.
There's no Andy Carroll for West Ham, and he could be out for a while with a knee injury. Carlton Cole starts.
So Chelsea are without David Luiz due to suspension, while Daniel Sturridge, John Terry and Frank Lampard remain on the treatment table. Cahill comes back into the starting line-up, and there's also a place this time for the influential Juan Mata.
It's two points from two games under Rafa Bentiez, whose reception at Chelsea has been frosty, to say the least. A win today, though, would go some way in his quest in to in over the supporters. Scoring a goal would be a solid way to start.
Chelsea substitutes: Turnbull, Romeu, Oscar, Ferreira, Marin, Bertrand, Piazon.
West Ham United substitutes: Spiegel, Maiga, Taylor, Diame, Spence, Fanimo Moncur.
In the build-up to today's game, have a read of Phil Lythell's blog on Chelsea seeking the elusive balance between attack and defence.
Chelsea: Cech, Ivanovic, Cahill, Azpilicueta, Cole, Mikel, Ramires, Hazard, Mata, Moses, Torres.
West Ham United: Jaaskelainen, Reid, Collins, Demel, Tomkins, O'Brien, Noble, Nolan, O'Neil, Jarvis, Cole.
Rafael Benitez is still in search of his first victory as Chelsea boss after two goalless draws. Will he end that barren spell at Upton Park? Commentary begins at 12.45 GMT, join @dalejohnsonESPN

Women's Tennis - Denison University
|April 7, 2012
|Madison, Wis.
A third nationally ranked opponent awaited the Luther women's tennis team on the second day of the Midwest Invite in Madison, Wisconsin. The Norse were competitive at several spots, just as the team had been against Gustavus the previous day, but ended up losing a 5-0 decision to the Big Red. All dual matches were played to decision on the second day of the tournament instead of being played to completion.
Elise Allen and Katy Lindstrom rallied from a 3-6 deficit to knot their match at 7-7 before dropping a hard fought (9-7) decision at No. 3 doubles to Lilianna Broussalian and Courtney Steiner.
The top four singles matches were the only ones on the court and all four spots were very competitive. Denison earned its final points at No. 3 and No. 4 singles to clinch the match. Chalhoub lost (7-5, 6-1) to Broussalian at No. 3 while White-Baer dropped a (6-4, 6-3) decision to Katie Westenberger at No. 4.
Allen played outstanding at No. 2 and led her match (7-6, 1-1) against Alex Marcell, a regionally ranked player, when the match was halted. Cami Czech, once again facing a highly ranked foe, was narrowly trailing (4-6, 4-4) to Sarah Short at No. 1.
