I was actually disappointed in this product, especially after the reading the other reviews and having high expectations as a result of how much others liked this couch. Indeed, it is huge and does make a statement. However, you must note that it is completely modular, and comes in five individual sections that push together to make up the unit. If you are placing the couch on hardwood floors, the pieces slide around and disconnect as you sit. It is not comfortable for lounging or watching movies. There are not attachments on the underside of the couch as most other modular sectionals have. We tried putting rubber stoppers on the legs with limited success. Also, one of the legs of one piece broke off after very limited use. We were able to find a way to drill new holes and re-position the leg. Finally, the fabric is not solid gray, but a textured weave comprised of several varying shades of gray. Overall, a disappointment versus expectations.
The Alcoa Grey Fabric Modular Modern Sectional Sofa is really just a wordy way of saying �total comfort and great style. I was first attracted to the cool color of this unit, which I got to replace an old sofa and chair set. The slate gray color is simply divine -- it goes with everything and hit the right note between cool and warm (goes equally well with browns as with whites and blacks). The twill fabric is especially nice, too -- feels and looks fantastic. We are very happy with this sofa and are glad to recommend it.
We absolutely love our new sectional -- it is so beautiful! With 5 separate pieces, we can now do a whole host of different configurations all around the living room. Now when we host cocktail parties, we can break it up and move pieces to different areas of the room to set up separate little conversation areas that is just perfect for small gatherings. The fabric feels great to the touch and the gray tone is austere, modern and sophisticated looking. Excellent price, too.
I put this sectional in our family room and we are using it a lot. It is comfortable, and looks stylish. The fabric gets a little loose on the vertical parts of the sofa (behind the calves) , and needs occasional straightening. As other reviews have pointed out, it is a BIG sofa---measure carefully. The color is a grey weave that looks even better than on the website. It sells in multiple places, so I just waited until Overstock had it cheapest and on coupon. The only downside is that the pieces dont hook together---we tried to leave them pushed together, but it was too much of a hassle to keep them properly aligned. We ended up just buying L brackets and connecting the pieces together. Very happy with the purchase. would buy it again.
I definitely could not find a better sofa than this one. It is really large, natural, simple and comfortable for every day use. I am glad that it has a twill fabric cushioning and the soft padding gives the ultimate comfort even when sleeping on it. The price is fair and suitable and the look amazing. Fortunately we have a large living as this sofa is not suitable for small spaces. Now we have enough space for everyone. Thank you.
I love this sofa. I bought it about a year and a half ago and it's held up pretty well. I have four kids and they're not allowed to jump or eat on the sofa. It is in our front parlor so doesn't get the heavy wear the the living room couch gets. I don't know how well it would do if we used it heavily, but I definitly have enjoyed it. It's a great piece to have and can seat a lot of people.
Sectional is excellent for the space we have, the modular pieces were easy to fit down a basement stairway. Very comfortable deep seats which is great for curling up and watching tv. Great buy.
When I opened up my games pub I wanted to have something special for furniture. So I�ve decided to buy 5 sectional sofas from overstock. It was shipped in time, no extra fees, no problems whatsoever. Now after a few months I�ve returned to buy five more since my business is growing and the demand for my services is increasing. A good decision made me great profits. It could do for you to.
This sis the best sofa I could have found. It is large, comfortable and beautiful. The material is so natural and soft, while the solid wood frame makes this sofa durable. The neutral gray color matches with the room and finally we have a sofa that is large enough for the whole family. Best price and service. True value for my money.
We love this couch! Very comfortable. We were SOOOO NERVOUS ordering it online without ever seeing it in person - it arrived about 3 weeks after we ordered it. Unloading it was some work since they just deliver it on a pallet. The couch isn't heavy just bulky. WE ARE SOO HAPPY WITH IT. FYI - it's a little low - my husband is 6"3 so you have to slooch a little bit but perfect for me (I am 5"2) Great looking couch!!!!!! It is great for a bigger room as the couch is large!

U.S. Commercial-Property Lending Rises for First Time Since 2010
Feb. 29 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. banks increased financing for commercial real estate in the fourth quarter for the first time in almost two years as default rates dropped and lenders shed more foreclosed properties, Chandan Economics said.
Balances on loans for properties including office buildings and shopping malls rose by $3.69 billion from the prior three months to $1.06 trillion, after falling for six consecutive quarters, the New York-based real estate researcher said in a report today. The last time such lending rose was the first three months of 2010, when balances increased by $101.9 million from the previous quarter, according to the report.
Lending has been constrained by upheaval in the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities, the financing engine that drove property deals and prices to record highs in 2007. With loans from the boom years coming due, property owners need to refinance and CMBS volume remains a fraction of what it was at the peak, according to Sam Chandan, chief economist at the firm.
"We still face significant headwinds in commercial property but the latest findings are encouraging," Chandan said in an e-mail.
In the three months through December, the default rate on commercial real estate loans fell to 3.8 percent of total loan balances from 4.3 percent a year earlier and 3.9 percent in the third quarter. It was the lowest since 3.4 percent in the third quarter of 2009. A loan in default is 90 or more days past due or in "non-accrual status," meaning the lender doesn't expect to make a full recovery, according to Chandan Economics.
Apartment Buildings
The default rate on apartment-property loans fell to 2.5 percent from 3.8 percent a year earlier and 2.9 percent the prior quarter, the lowest since the first three months of 2009, when it was 2.4 percent, the researcher said. The report covers rental buildings with five or more dwelling units.
Banks reduced their holdings of repossessed commercial properties to $10.5 billion from $10.9 billion in the third quarter, according to the report. So-called real estate-owned properties were up from $10.2 billion a year earlier. Holdings of foreclosed apartment buildings fell to $1.45 billion from $2.55 billion in the third quarter and $2.59 billion a year earlier, Chandan Economics said.

How did he manage to make him feel like this? The younger male made him seem so... soft.... Ludwig sighed, opening his cold blue eyes and looking out around the track, searching for an Italian who seemed to be missing, as usual. " Feliciano!" A messy mop of brown hair appeared slightly over the edge of the hill. " Si, Ludwig?" He replied innocently, like nothing was wrong with him running off again, no doubt flirting with some girl. Again.
"Get back over here! We're not done yet!" Feliciano pouted slightly, but started walking back towards the German man. " But Doitsu~ I'm'a Tired.." He whined. Ludwig rolled his eyes, sitting on the grass crossing his legs. " Run Two more laps and I'll let you take a break."
Feliciano nodded, still pouting slightly, and started jogging around the track, slowing down quickly. " Feliciano! I know you can run faster than that!" Ludwig yelled, scowling slightly. Feliciano squeaked slightly, instantly running faster, and finishing the two laps within minutes. He came stumbling back over to Ludwig, panting slightly, his face flushed, and collapsed slightly onto the grass, resting his head on Ludwig's knee and closing his eyes.
The German blushed slightly, but smiled and stroked Feliciano's hair gently, avoiding the Italian man's curl. "Ich Liebe Dich, Feli." He whispered, his blush deepening slightly
Feliaciano looked up at the other with a bright smile, sitting up and moving into his lap, wrapping his arms around Ludwig's neck loosely. " Ti amo, Doitsu~!." He giggled, leaning in to Kiss Ludwig happily.

June 19, 1908
Mark Twain on "Innocence at Home," President Grover Cleveland, and God
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
Just before 6 p.m. on the evening of June 18th, 1908, Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) arrived in Redding, Connecticut for the first time. From the railroad station, he went immediately to his new 18 room, two story Italianate villa which, although he had it built, he had never seen. The house, fully furnished and appointed, was called "Innocence at Home" - a fitting name, surely, for the place where he planned to entertain that loose association of surrogate granddaughters, ages ten to sixteen, he dubbed the "Aquarium of Angel Fish." In this letter, written on June 19th, he announces his advent – to his real, and far less fanciful daughter, Jean: at 27, an epileptic who lived, according to the tenets of the day, in exile from her family. "I like the house ever so much," he says, "& I like the deep quiet, after tumultuous New York. I arrived at 6 p.m. yesterday, & Paine & Ashcroft & I played billiards until midnight & had a good time… It is a pity that I can't stay all night in your house, but your health is the important thing…"
Regarding her health, he sides with Jean's doctor, he says: "I must help Dr. Peterson in his good work & not mar it & hinder it by going counter to his judgment & commands." He feels both he and Jean ought to "testify" to their thankfulness by honoring the doctor's lightest desire. In this, he adds, her dead mother "would say this too, out of her grateful heart." The door firmly closed, then, on who is where, and why, Clemens responds to Jean's interest in "Mr. Cleveland", the ex-president:
Yes, he was a drinker in Buffalo, & loose morally. But since then? I have to doubt it. And of course I want to doubt it, for he has been a most noble public servant - & in that capacity he has been utterly without blemish. Of all our public men of today he stands first in my reverence & admiration, & the next one stands two-hundred & twenty-fifth. He is the only statesman we have, now. We had two, but Senator Hoar is dead. Drinks? No, I hope it is a mistake. However, Cleveland drunk is a more valuable asset to this country than the whole batch of the rest of our public men sober. He is high-minded; all his impulses are good & pure & fine. I wish we had another of this sort.
But Cleveland, however grand, can only go so far, and in the next and closing paragraph Clemens is back to the racking issue of his separation from his youngest daughter: "Yes-indeedy, it was just too bad that there wasn't a solitary junior member of the family here to help me christen the house," he says. "But you know the adage: Man proposes, but God blocks the game."
"The House of Innocence" didn't last long – as a name; it was changed, some say at Jean's insistence, and soon became "Stormfield." Jean was finally allowed home in April, 1909, and died there, suddenly, on Christmas Eve. Clemens followed her, four months later.
Autograph Letter Signed ("Father"), 3 pages, octavo, Innocence at Home, Redding, Connecticut, Friday June 19, 1908. With autograph envelope. To Jean Clemens.

FROM: Susan Gendron, Commissioner
DATE: Oct. 9, 2003
RE: Fall/Winter 2003 – Local Assessment System (LAS) Seminar Series
We are pleased to announce the fall round of our ongoing professional development series entitled "Understanding and Implementing the Local Assessment System Guide". These seminars are designed to foster better understanding of the LAS Guide and to provide support for implementing the Principles and Criteria. Although many school administrative units were represented during the three summer institutes held in June, others have requested additional opportunities for both administrators and teachers to attend these informative sessions. While not identical to this summer's offerings, this day-long session will include some of the same activities. Additionally, new information will be provided particularly around the suggested assessment types.
The four outcomes for this seminar are:
Participants will:
v Receive an update on current assessment-related initiatives
v Develop an understanding of the Principles and Criteria in the LAS Guide
v Become familiar with the status and details of the discipline-specific assessment types
v Become familiar with the role of curriculum and instruction in valid assessments implementation
v Have an opportunity to reflect on the Principles and Criteria of the LAS Guide and make connections to their work.
These sessions will be conducted at five different sites across the state: Presque Isle, Bangor, Ellsworth, Augusta, and Portland. Each of these five sites will host two different days of this seminar with different content area sub groups being included in each of the days. For example, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Health & Physical Education, and Alternate Assessment will meet on one day, and Science & Technology, Mathematics, Modern & Classical Languages, Visual & Performing Arts, and Career Preparation will meet on another day at the same site. Please see the attached table for dates, times, and specific content areas. Registration deadlines will be one week prior to the seminar date.
Please post the attached flyer in the appropriate places and make copies of the attached registration forms available to appropriate personnel.

Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
Special Blend Control Jacket - Men's
? Share a...
Decent jacket, didn't like the color
The jacket itself it nice. Seemed pretty warm. I would probably just where a thermal and the jacket on a 20-30 degree day. The tech in the jack is pretty good too. Only thing i didn't like was the purple inside and the outside is not really black, but more of a mauve color. The purple is the color of (Barney). Other than that, the jacket is awesome. I ended up returning it because I want a black jacket. This Jacket clashed with my pants. Its all about how you look on the slopes, not how you ride!
Frosty P
Good Enough
I'm pretty stoked on this jacket as I got it in yellow and like the color a lot. However as far as plain old quality goes, this does not measure up to other jackets I've owned. The stitching is poor and the overall thought that went into the (pass pocket, hood size, interior pockets) appears low. My 686 Uzi jacket is of much higher construction quality but I will probably wear this one more for filming.
Great Jacket
I got this Jacket last winter, great Jacket for sure. Super stylish! Kept me plenty warm in Salt Lake City for a ski trip. We had a treacherous day at Alta with 26 inches of powder, and more snow while we were there and this Jacket kept me warm and dry through it all. It was great for my ipod. My only beef, is that when you don't have it zipped up, you can see the inner lining which is bright purple. Not a huge issue since I'm a Viking fan and live in Minnesota, but they should probably show that on the pictures since is pretty bright.
I'm very picky of my snowboarding jackets....
I'm very picky of my snowboarding jackets. I just want to get one and make sure it has everything I need.
First of all, is there two zippers. Meaning, there is one where you pull it all the way up. And the other half the zipper will allow for easy access for number 1 without having to take of the jacket?
Is there a thermal sleeve built into the arm keeping the snow from coming into the jacket from the sleeve?
Is the jacket double layered? Can you remove the inside part of it or is thin like a shell?
Overall, I'm looking for a form fitting jacket that isn't too bulky. I tend to snowboard in all type of weather including, storms, nights, winds, and warm days. Let me know what other jackets you recommend as well!
Wooden Robots
Double zipper yes, Thermal Sleeve no, Liner no, The jacket is just a shell, it will keep you dry. The best thing for keeping warm is to wear base layer. Some other jacket you can look at is the special blend Autograph, it is our highest end jacket, super technical. Everything you want (unless you want a liner). The best jacket we make.
Nice Jacket, Extra Baggy, Extra Prince
This jacket is definitely nice, its got lots of features and is well made, but its way big. I'm 5'6", 160 lbs and the small was almost to my knees and super loose around the body. Also the inside is purple, not just a little bit, I'm talkin Prince purple wall to wall,and it shows a lot unless you wear it zipped all the way up. In the end I returned it (which is super easy with dogfunk), and got something a little smaller and less bright purple inside.
This jacket provides top quality at a very affordable price. It has more than enough pockets and the powder skirt is really nice. Definitely order a size down from what you normally would, though. I am 6', 180lbs and and the medium size is slightly baggy on me.
Christopher Shephard
What an awesome jacket! Wicked warm and sick looks too. I haven't seen anyone on the mountain yet with my jacket which f'in hacks me off. Keeps the powder out too with the skirt. Lots of pockets too for whatever including an iPod pocket with little loops to run your headphones up the jacket and into your ears. Board safe homies......
Best Jacket
This jacket is awesome it is extremely thin and warm and the 15k waterproofing is the best
Steezy, Warm and Comfortable
The jacket looks fresh, is mad comfortable, and extremely warm. The yo-yo pass holder is a nice touch, and a removable powder skirt is always a plus (especially if you are on your way somewhere after you get off the mountain).
The lining is made out of micro-mesh and feels like it could tear easy, but other than that I have no complaints...
This jacket is awesome!! Even better than this jacket is your service. These guys rock. 12 days later, and this jacket arrived in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. IT'S SWEET. Great packaging. Don't look anywhere else. Never be in the doghouse with these guys. LOVIN' IT.
Great coat, Great deal, its a real deal, removable powder skirt, and hood, a total five pockets can be really great for other things like hand warmers, overal i give this a 5 out of 5

Its main goal is to bring the vegan community together and try to promote more cooking, more learning, and more fun to be had by all vegans.
We're trying to change how people think of magazines. We take content directly from the source, by accepting personal stories and unique points of view from our community. We have no advertising, rather, we try to support fellow vegan small business owners. As vegans, we know how frustrating it can be to find ethically produced, high quality, reasonably priced goods. So Etsy shop owners (who are vegan or vegetarian) show us the best they've got, we pick our favorites, and vegans end up supporting vegans.

Why should I have a printed copy?
Print is so important, especially when it comes to the kitchen. We're avid cooks, and we know what works and what doesn't: we use cookbooks and our own written recipes way more than internet recipes. It's more practical (I don't want to get maple syrup all over my laptop), it's faster to find what you're looking for, and it has a nice presence when it's laying around on your coffee table or your countertop. Plus, our recipes are tested and approved by all friends and family - what about that random cookie recipe on the internet?
Think of it as a nice mix between a cookbook and a non-fiction book - something you can't find a good mix of really anywhere on the internet.
Why do you guys need Kickstarter?
Essentially, you're buying a pre-order of the magazine, including shipping, when you donate $22 and up. It's a high-quality, perfect bound, full color magazine, and to make it affordable we need to print them in bulk. (Otherwise it'd cost closer to $30-$35 per issue - not cool!) Without Kickstarter, we wouldn't be able to afford the bulk printing costs up front, nor would we be able to afford the fast shipping we'll be offering. So to keep it a small, neat price for you, we encourage you to pre-order by donating through Kickstarter!
Where is my money going to?
All the donation tiers listed are the hard cost of whatever you're getting. It's the printing cost, shipping cost, paper cost, ink cost, etc. including taxes. We're not here to make a profit, just here to give you some helpful and interesting stuff!
Why should I donate over the $1,000 goal?
You're just helping to pay for your reduced-cost magazine issue, it can only help you! All tiers of donation are discounted prices of their original, so there's no downside to donating, really.
What if you DON'T reach your $1,000 goal?
This is important! If we don't reach our goal, we get zero dollars. It all goes back to you, and basically it's like nothing ever happened. No issues will be sent out, nothing! So feel safe to donate any amount. :)
What are the other rewards, besides the magazine, that I could donate toward?
All of the other rewards fit directly in line with our "print is best in the kitchen" philosophy, so we thought they'd be perfect additions.
- The first is a set of recipe cards! These are block printed by us personally, and have a great design. They're perfect for writing your own recipes, copying down one of your favorites, or sending recipes to your friends in style.
- The second is a "how to store foods" poster. This is great for hanging on the fridge or in the pantry, for quick reference when you're putting away groceries and are too exhausted to trek to your computer. This is ideal for promoting a whole-foods, plant-based diet. (It's hard to eat food when it's gone bad because you left it in the wrong place.) Great for new cooks!
- Two more instructional pieces are the "how to cook grains" and "how to cook legumes" posters. These are SO helpful to have hanging up around the kitchen, in cupboards, or beside the stove. They tell you the cooking times, soaking times, water-to-grain ratios, and more. I never know how many cups water goes to a cup of brown rice, so I use them all the time. Again, they're ideal for promoting a whole-foods, plant-based diet.
In conclusion...
We'd love to get the support of our community in order to give back to it! Your support of our magazine ensures that we can keep going, we can grow our magazine and keep spreading our philosophy and ideals. Whether you're vegan or not, there's a lot to be seen in our publication, but don't take our word for it!
Check out our magazine online, and be inspired to live a life full of stories and good food. Donate to our project and enjoy our magazine without having to be plugged in. Keep us going and we'll be sure to keep giving you the best of our vegan community.
Thanks so much for your support, in advance. We appreciate anybody who can see value in what we have to give.

Re: Polls
I can hear it now - - "THEY STOLE ANOTHER ELECTION!!!!!"
Speaking of Ohio......
Ohios early absentee ballot requests and cleaned-up voter rolls point to Romney blowout
With a month to go in this election, the one real performance indicator we have for Ohio early absentee ballot requests shows Republicans have narrowed the gap since 2008 in every county on record in the state
In 2008, there were 1,158,301 total absentee ballots requested: 33 percent were requested by registered Democrats and 19 percent were requested by registered Republicans a 14-point gap.
So far in 2012, only 638,997 ballots have been requested, 29 percent by Democrats and 24 percent by Republicans only a five-point gap.
Champaign County: Was +3% GOP, now +23% GOP 20-point shift
Columbiana County: Was +9% DEM, now +9% GOP 18-point shift
Crawford County: Was +3% DEM, now +12% GOP 15-point shift
Cuyahoga County: Was +36% DEM, now +30% DEM 6-point shift
Erie County: Was +24% DEM, now +7% DEM 17-point shift
Franklin County: Was +5% DEM, now +5% GOP 10-point shift
Greene County: Was +4% DEM, now +19% GOP 23-point shift
Harrison County: Was +22% DEM, now +5% DEM 17-point shift
