Welcome to the Hog Blog, a blog chronicling minor-league baseball in the Lehigh Valley. Tom Housenick, The Morning Call's IronPigs beat writer, has been at The Morning Call since 2008. In a previous lifetime, he was at Lackawanna County Stadium in Moosic talking with future Phillies Jimmy Rollins, Pat Burrell, Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard, among many others. He'll now be spending his summers in search of who the Phillies are hoping to be the next Chase Utley and Cole Hamels plus any outfielder who catch and hit. What he really hopes to find are the next Mariano Rivera, Todd Helton and Jim Thome --- great human beings who happened to be great at this sport. He spent the last five years covering Colonial League football, college basketball and high school track & field. HOG BLOGROLL

It was an inauspicious beginning to say the least for the IronPigs Thursday in Scranton. One hit, two baserunners. If you didn't know better you'd swear the Phillies brought the whole Ottawa team down here. Things will get better. Tonight they faced someone, Kei Igawa, on whom the Yankees have bet some $46-million that he's a major league pitcher. he certainly looked the part tonight, although this wasn't exactly the Detroit Tigers or the Boston Red Sox he was pitching. Still, Igawa was a top star in Japan, and when he's on like he was tonight it would likely be tough on any hitter. --- To those who e-mailed me concerning housing opportunities for the players, I've forwarded your messages on to the club. To those of you who responded on mcall.com about the players being "pampered" and "demanding," get a life. These guys aren't looking for handouts, but at the same token, they haven't hit the jackpot like their major league counterparts. At this stage of their careers many are trying to juggle family life with chasing a dream that we've all had at some point (fame and stardom), and on a budget. Many have asked me what these guys earn, and while I don't have concrete figures, I'm guessing some are probably making in the $8,000-to-$12,000 a month range. So for a five-month season that amounts to maybe $40,000-to-$60,000. Sounds nice, but then assume they've got the expense of a permanent residence somewhere. And then add the expense of their "seasonal" home. And the expense of bringing their families in (try being away from your family from February through September and see how you like it). In the end, they're going to find a place to live. Some will get lucky and find close to what they want or need. Others won't. In the end, these guys realize they were sailing in uncharted waters this year, and that things will be better for those who follow. --- If you're planning on taking the drive up today to Scranton, better check before you leave. The weather forecast up here is iffy at best for tonight, which could bring another first -- the first rainout in team history. Categories:

Break-Up Rumors, Is Cat Stevens Single Again?
- By Zach Selby
- London
- Last updated on
Hot news
- Buzz March 9, 2014
- Hot March 8, 2014
Are celebrities more likely to divorce or break up? Earlier this week news reports surfaced that Cat Stevens, 65, and his partner had split up. Is the singer best known for his hits Father and Son or Wild World really single again?
UPDATE 09/03/2014 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Stevens spotted alone
A fan spotted Cat Stevens walking alone, probably coming back from picking up his mail at the end of his several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 7, 2014. Was he all alone? "Definitely yes," says the fan, adding that "He was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!"
Is Cat Stevens back on the market?
A rep for Cat Stevens was not immediately available for comment.
Truth or rumor, when news that the singer was splitting hit the internet Saturday (March 8), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:
"Has anyone Cat Stevens's phone number?"
— Michelle Whedon (@mimiwhedon) March 8, 2014
"So very sad… Those 2 were so great as a couple. So cute together."
— Crystal (@crystal_clear) March 8, 2014
Based on the facts (Stevens spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?

"Gentlemen, I believe this exercise has been very useful and strategic. We have listed what needs to be accomplished for exponential growth. With the road map clearly before us, let's turn our thinking to three fundamental areas of focus that will propel us forward," I said. "These are: 1) Selecting the right priorities, 2) Deploying the most important resources, and 3) Implementing the most efficient processes. Let's now discuss each category. What do you think your specific priorities should be?" We pondered and debated several and arrived at this list:
1. All employees should be focused on selling and retaining satisfied clients who will make referrals. Going forward, we want to be known for having a sales culture.
2. We will begin hiring great salespeople and system engineers.
3. Employees will be generously rewarded for their performance.
4. Marketing will identify and cultivate every potential client who might be an early adopter of our products.
5. Marketing will provide a thoughtful brand to differentiate our unique offering.
6. The sales team will have a list of prospects, a quota, the best resources available and a compensation plan to reward excellent performance.
7. The system engineer and customer support teams will be in place and properly trained. They will actively support clients to ensure a high level of satisfaction.
8. The managers and the new CFO will manage expenses carefully. The budget will be based on our key priorities, resources and processes.
9. We will raise money to cover the expenses of growth.
10. Every manager should feel ownership for his or her assigned area. They should feel empowered and responsible for their performance.
11. We will hire an experienced CEO.
12. We will also hire an experienced technology officer to guide software development. We need to make sure our products continue to be relevant and best in class.
13. We see the need to establish a professional board of directors.
14. We agree as a team to report on our progress on a regular basis and to be held accountable for our efforts. We pledge to be persistent in our efforts and to avoid complacency.
The next items for consideration include important and urgent resources, specifically the following:
1. Hire the best people for each job. Make sure they clearly understand what's expected of them.
2. Ensure there are sufficient funds to achieve the plan.
3. Ensure there are supportive systems, tools and equipment.
Each prioritized task should be carefully delineated, documented and taught to appropriate employees. Each process should be implemented, followed and monitored and be examined and improved on a regular basis.

I have lost myself a long time ago. I can't even remember when was the last time that I felt so full of energy and so happy that I could think that I am able to move mountains.
I have no more energy to fight for anything in my life. I have lost my will, my hope, I have lost friends and days dreaming that some may comeback ..I have lost my smile and most of the times my inspiration along with all the others things. I have lost so many things that I wander what I have left..almost nothing.
I could go back..walk that road again searching my tresures but I don't have the courage to live that again. So I will keep on going ahead even though I don't know where I am at this moment. MY WAY is lost for a long time, but who knows..I might find something worth smiling at. I might find someone who will reachi his hand t take me out of this gutter where I am stuck. I am longing for that sky above me for so long..
I guess I need to be saved..here I am my hero!

Five Tips to Save your Business Model
In: Around the Web
"What business are we in?" is the most fundamental question that business leaders should we asking today. Here are five tips for answering the question correctly from Kay Plantes.
Plantes' recommendations for looking at business model innovation opportunities include answering the question of "What business are we in?" from the perspective of current and prospective customers, solving a higher-level problem, creating a new product or service category, keep answering the question (to guard against creeping complacency) and to be comfortable with not having an answer (develop a mindset of constant probing instead of taking a "check it and forget it" attitude).

- Kabardino-Balkaria: local resident asserts that he confessed of keeping grenade under power agents torture Apr 27 2012, 23:20 Nuraed Erizhokov, a resident ofMay 2, 2012View SourceKabardino-Balkaria: local resident asserts that he confessed of keeping grenade under power agents' torture
Apr 27 2012, 23:20
Nuraed Erizhokov, a resident of the city of Prokhladny, Kabardino-Balkaria, has addressed human rights defenders asking to help to restore his rights violated by power agents. The man alleges that policemen planted a grenade into his pocket and then tortured him into confession of complicity with militants and possession of weapons.
The incident with Erizhokov's detention happened on April 7, at about 11:00 a.m. The 29-year-old man was driving his car in Prokhladny, when his way was blocked by unidentified people in masks dressed in camouflage and civilian clothes, who dragged him out of the car and searched him.
According to Erizhokov, when they searched his car, one of the persons in mask, as if doing his personal search, planted some heavy objects into his pockets. Then, they asked him to take money out of his pockets. Nuraed put his hands into his pockets and touched the planted objects, leaving his fingerprints on them. A few minutes later policemen seized a grenade and a fuse out of his pockets.
The policemen threatened Erizhokov that "if he was not convicted, they would kill him themselves." In the presence of their witnesses, the policemen filled in some papers; then, they put Erizhokov into the car, put a black plastic bag over his head and took him, as it became clear later, to the OVD (Interior Division) of Dolinsk, the young man asserts. According to his story, there he was tortured with electric current, demanding to confess of complicity in illegal armed formations and storing weapons.
Unable to bear the torture, he signed some documents. "Policemen said that if I signed the documents, I would be sentenced conditionally, because I have three small children and sick liver. After that, I felt strong pain in my heart, and they brought some drugs to me. One of the policemen said: "Let's stop with him; otherwise he may die here," said Nuraed Erizhokov.
Currently, he is kept at the IVS (temporary detention facility) of Prokhladny and is suspected of having committed an offence under Part 1, Article 222 (illegal acquisition, storage, transportation or bearing of firearms and ammunition), of the Russian Criminal Code.
Erizhokov has stated that traces of torture are on his body; however, he did not tell about it to IVS personnel, being afraid that he would be tortured again. On April 12, the lawyer Elena Bairamkulova, whom Erizhokov's relatives hired as an advocate, submitted a petition for her client's forensic medical examination; however, the petition was rejected. She plans now to apply the same request to the court, where the case has been delivered. This is stated in the message of the Human Rights Centre (HRC) "Memorial", which was received by the "Caucasian Knot" office.

BPMN stands for Business Process Modeling Notation. It is the new standard for modeling business processes and web service processes, as put forth by the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI – www.BPMI.org). BPMN is a core enabler of a new initiative in the Enterprise Architecture world called Business Process Management (BPM). Business Process Management is concerned with managing change to improve business processes. BPMN consists of one diagram – called the Business Process Diagram (BPD). The BPMN Business Process Diagram has been designed to be easy to use and understand, but also provides the ability to model complex business processes. It has also been designed specifically with web services in mind. BPMN is only one of three specifications that the BPMI has developed – the other two are a Business Process Modeling Language (BPML) and a Business Process Query Language (BPQL). All have been developed using a solid mathematical foundation, which enables a BPMN Business Process Diagram to map directly to BPML, in the same way that a physical data model maps directly to Data Definition Language (DDL). There are competing standards to BPML, chief among them is the Business Process Execution Language For Web Services (BPEL4WS) created in a joint venture by BEA, IBM, Microsoft, and others. However, BPMI has created BPMN so that it maps readily to any business process execution language. Business Process Execution Languages themselves are run, controlled, and orchestrated on a Business Process Management System (BPMS). OASIS (www.oasis-open.org) is a not-for-profit, global consortium that drives the development, convergence and adoption of e-business standards. Both BPEL4WS and BPMI's BPML have been submitted to OASIS to become a business process execution language standard. OASIS has created a subcommittee to decide upon a standard; the outcome of this committee is called Web Services – Business Execution Language (WS-BPEL). The OASIS WS-BPEL requires the development of new BPMS technologies as well. BPMN provides a number of advantages to modeling business processes over the Unified Modeling Language (UML). First, it offers a process flow modeling technique that is more conducive to the way business analysts model. Second, its solid mathematical foundation is expressly designed to map to business execution languages, whereas UML is not. BPMN can map to UML, and provide a solid business modeling front end to systems design with UML.
The research work of Wil van der Aalst, Arthur ter Hofstede, Bartek Kiepuszewski, and Alistair Barros has resulted in the identification of 21 patterns that describe the behavior of business processes. This paper reviews how two graphical process modeling notations, tShe BPMN Business Process Diagram from the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), and the UML 2.0 Activity Diagram from the Object Management Group (OMG), can represent the workflow patterns. The solutions of the two notations are compared for technical ability to represent the patterns as well as their readability. The research work of Wil van der Aalst, Arthur ter Hofstede, Bartek Kiepuszewski, and Alistair Barros has resulted in the identification of 21 patterns that describe the behavior of business processes. The rationale for the development of the patterns was to describe the potential capabilities that a workflow server may have during the performance of business processes. The patterns range from very simple to very complex and cover the behaviors that can be captured within most business process models. The researchers have developed a web site1 that contains descriptions and examples of these patterns, plus supporting papers and evaluations of how workflow products support the patterns. The purpose of this paper is to examine how two modeling notations, the BPMN Business Process Diagram from BPMI, and the UML 2.0 Activity Diagram from the OMG, can graphically represent the workflow patterns. For each of pattern, there will be a comparison of the two notations about how well they handled the pattern. The focus of the comparison will be both technical and how visually intuitive each notation represents the pattern.

This section introduces the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), developed under the coordination of the Object Management Group. Version 2 of this international standard introduces a series of modifications, including a new extension of the acronym. BPMN used to stand for Business Process Modeling Notation. In Version 2, the standard also defines a meta-model, so that Business Process Meta Model and Notation would have been a valid choice. Unfortunately, the term meta was dropped, resulting in the rather imprecise official extension we now see in this section's heading. In the remainder of this book, we will mostly use the acronym. The intent of the BPMN for business process modelling is very similar to the intent of the Unified Modeling Language for object-oriented design and analysis. To identify the best practices of existing approaches and to combine them into a new, widely accepted language. The set of ancestors of BPMN includes graph-based and Petri-net-based process modelling languages, such as UML activity diagrams and event-driven process chains. While these modelling languages focus on different levels of abstraction, ranging from a business level to a more technical level, the BPMN aims at supporting the complete range of abstraction levels, from a business level to a technical implementation level. This goal is also laid out in the standards document, which states that "The primary goal of BPMN is to provide a notation that is readily understandable by all business users, from the business analysts that create the initial drafts of the processes, to the technical developers responsible for implementing the technology that will perform those processes, and finally, to the business people who will manage and monitor those processes. Thus, BPMN creates a standardized bridge for the gap between the business process design and process implementation." The BPMN defines several diagram types for specifying both process orchestrations and process choreographies. Since this chapter focuses on orchestrations, only business process diagrams and collaboration diagrams are discussed in this section. Diagram types regarding process choreographies, that is, conversation diagrams and choreography diagrams, will be discussed in the next chapter. To classify the level of support that a particular BPMN software tool provides, the standard introduces so called conformance classes.
Today, analysis and design of business processes are the major tasks of business engineering [Scheer (1994), Österle (1997), Hammer et al. (1993), Davenport (1993)]. In research as well as in practice, the Architecture of integrated Information Systems (ARIS) [Scheer (1992)] is accepted as a standard framework for business process (re-)engineering. It supports the whole process management life cycle consisting of process design, process management, process workflow and process application implementation [Scheer (1996)]. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) [Rational Software (editor) (1997)] is a common standard for object-oriented modeling. The UML is derived of a shared set of commonly accepted concepts which have successfully been proven in the modeling of large and complex systems, especially software systems. With the UML extension for business modeling, a first object-oriented UML terminology has been defined for the domain of business modeling. ARIS as well as UML are based on integrated meta models supported by several modeling tools. The core business modeling concepts of both methodologies will first be introduced and compared afterwards. The method of Event-driven Process Chains (EPC) [Keller et al. (1992), Nüttgens (1997)] has been developed within the framework of ARIS in order to model business processes. In the EPC model, a process consists of sequences of events triggering business functions, which are themselves the results of other functions apart from initial events triggering the whole process. By introducing boolean operators (''and'', ''or'', ''exclusive or''), the event-driven control structure can be expanded to a complex control flow illustrating business relevant decisions. This basic model of the EPC can be extended by further semantic components of description. The illustration of data flows, responsibility of organization units and the use of IT systems are examples for such an extension (see figure 1). Furthermore, on the basis of formal descriptions of the EPC method, tool-supported concepts for analysis and simulation are being developed. The approach of Langner/Schneider/Wehler [Langner et al. (1997)] aims at the translation of EPC models into petri networks and at the algorithmic verification of the resulting networks. In contrast to this, the approaches of Rump [Rump (1997)] and of Keller/Teufel [Keller and Teufel (1997)] are based on a formal description of the EPC.
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a graphical notation that describes the logic of steps in a business process. This notation has been especially designed to coordinate the sequence of processes and messages that flow between participants in different activities. Why is it important to model with BPMN? • BPMN is an internationally accepted process modeling standard. • BPMN is independent of any process modeling methodology. • BPMN creates a standardized bridge which reduces the gap between business processes and their implementation. • BPMN enables you to model processes in a unified and standardized way so that everyone in an organization can understand each other. Introduction to BPMN The Business Process Modeling Notation - BPMN – provides a common language which allows all the parties involved to communicate processes clearly, completely and efficiently. In this way, BPMN defines the notation and semantics of a Business Process Diagram (BPD). BPD is a diagram based on the 'Flowchart' technique, designed to present a graphical sequence of all the activities that take place during a process. It also includes all relative information for making an analysis. BPD is a diagram designed for the use of process analysts who design, control and manage processes. In a BPD diagram there are a series of graphical elements that are grouped into categories. To introduce BPMN, the reader will find throughout this document a series of examples revolving around a Consumer Credit Application process. A Credit Application process begins with the recording of the application where the client expresses an interest in acquiring credit. This stage includes the presentation of the application, and the required documents to the organization for verification. This is followed by an analysis or study of the credit application and finally we find the activities needed to either disburse the credit or to notify the client in case of rejection.

As a framer, I enjoy cutting and stacking a hip roof more than any other roof design. It's very satisfying to precut all the different pieces—commons, hips, and jacks—and have them fit perfectly when they are all put together. In this article I will outline the basic principles for framing a regular (equal-pitch) hip roof, including how to lay out the hip and precut the jacks. The methods I use are derived from production techniques. I like to save time by figuring out and cutting as much as possible on the ground before climbing up on the plates to stack...

Great bag for trail running.
- Fits well
- Side pockets
- Whistle
- Waist belt and sternum strap
- Sloshing is annoying as hell
- Bladder hose a little long
- Side pockets are inaccessible while wearing the pack
I bought this bag for trail runs were there aren't any water sources to refill my waist bottle (w/ Steripen Adventurer). It works well, and stays put on your back but as with any bladder, it sloshes around a lot unless its full, but who wants to carry 3L of water on their back when running a 15 mile trail run climbing 6k feet of vertical... Not me.
It's made well and carries well on your back, but the sound of water sloshing around kinda ruins the silence and relaxing nature of a trail run, so I tend to leave it at home more than I thought I would. I've tried both burping the bladder to remove all excess air, as well as blowing as hard as I can into the bladder to attempt to pressurize it, and the sloshing is still bad.
I find stuffing a rain jacket into the compartment to kinda take up any extra space can reduce it a little, but only until you drink half the contents, then it's back to sloshing up and down as you run.

You are misleading.. First of all, SN had zero debt prior to the recent deal. Look at the deal, they paid a very low price for very good assets, ones that will immediately be accretive to earnings and add positive cash flow. Do the math .
The stock was flirting with $20 during the Cramer pump show, now it's flirting with the $17s. Don't blame me, I just use a calculator.

Norway retail, jobless data weaken rate cut prospects
- Tweet
- Share this
* Retail sales rise 1.8 pct vs 0.4 pct forecast
* Registered unemployed steady at 2.5 pct
OSLO, June 28 (Reuters) - Norway's retail and jobless data were better than expected on Friday, reducing prospects that the central bank will cut interest rates at its next meeting in September.
Retail sales surged 1.8 percent on the month in May, well above a 0.4 percent rise viewed beforehand, while the number of unemployed held steady instead of rising, data from Statistics Norway showed.
"This erases the fear that there is a marked slowdown (in consumption)," SEB chief economist Stein Bruun said. "All in all, the data imply there will not be a rate cut in September."
Norway's central bank last week said there was a 50 percent chance of a rate cut in September as the economy is slowing more than expected, with traditional industries feeling the pain of Europe's prolonged economic plight.
The bank also said it would delay a rate hike planned for the spring of next year until the end of 2014.
Most analysts believe the bank is more likely to keep rates steady for the next year and a half, not wanting to stoke a red hot housing market with cheaper borrowing.
Unemployment, a worry over the past several months after unexpected increases, is also looking less of an issue. The registered jobless rate held steady at 2.5 percent with the number of jobless steady around 86,000.
"It is quite clear now that there is no dramatic worsening of the labour market," Nordea chief analyst Erik Bruce said. "In sum, these data point to no rate cut." (Reporting by Balazs Koranyi, Editing by Gwladys Fouche/Jeremy Gaunt)

Any player would want one more game. Northwest Whitfield graduate Emily Boyd is lucky enough to get two more at the high school level, where she was a dominant pitcher for the past four seasons.
And she's also lucky because Jason Brooker, the Lady Bruins' head coach during Boyd's senior season, will be there for both.
Boyd and Brooker will both be part of the North roster in the Georgia Athletic Coaches Association All-Star Softball Showcase on Wednesday at Alto Park in Rome. The doubleheader versus the South begins at 2 p.m.
Players were selected by coaches in December during the GACA All-State selections meeting. The teams have three days of practice before Wednesday's games. Gordon Lee's Dana Mull will coach the North team and Brooker will be an assistant.
"It's always exciting to be able to play against girls who you've played high school ball against and with and travel ball against and with," said Boyd, who signed with Ole Miss. "I know a few girls from the southern side. I think it depends where they draw the line. If they draw it below Macon, then it might not be as many good players as there could be. ... With Atlanta, I think the North has a bigger variety of people to choose from."
Boyd was named The Daily Citizen's All-Area Softball Player of the Year each of the past four seasons and she led the Lady Bruins to the 2012 Class 4A state title. Brooker said he will push for her to pitch one of the games.
If that debate is anything like the one to get her a spot on the team, then it won't be a debate at all.
"The way they did it is you go around the table and when you make a nomination, then you talk about them for a little bit," Brooker said. "I nominated her and they all just kind of agreed, nodded their heads or raised their hands. I started to say stuff about her and they all said, 'Just stop. You don't have to say anything else. She's in.' If there was a first ballot, then she was on it."
Boyd also will play in the Stump on Sports Tennessee-Georgia All-Star Softball Classic at 6 p.m. on June 19 at Frost Stadium in Chattanooga. Jason Brooker will be the Peach State's head coach for that doubleheader, which features recent graduates from southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia competing for border bragging rights. Brooker said additional local players who will participate are Northwest's Mykeah Johnson, Dalton's Allie Blackwood and Carson Hagin and Southeast Whitfield's Tavi Parris.
"It's a cool experience," Boyd said. "(Brooker) gets to coach me another time. I think it's cool in environments where it's not serious but you want to do your best. ... Everyone there knows you're a good player, so your performance isn't really indicative of anything. So it's relaxing and fun in that way."
• This year's Classic series started with this past Saturday night's football game at Chattanooga's McCallie School, a 10-7 win for Tennessee, and the action will continue with contests for girls and boys basketball (6 and 8 p.m. on Tuesday at Notre Dame High School in Chattanooga); girls and boys soccer (1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga); and baseball (6 p.m. on June 17 at Ridgeland High School in Rossville). Softball will wrap up the competition for this year.
• North Georgia Speedway has its updated season schedule on the track's redesigned website, northgaspeedway.net. The racing continues Saturday with a full program, and the Murray County dirt track is currently scheduled to have action each Saturday through Sept. 21, aside from a break on July 6.
The gates will open at 3:30 p.m. with racing starting four hours later. Pit passes are $25, grandstand tickets cost $10 and ages 11 and younger will be admitted free. For special events, prices increase by $5.

I'm not sure how you are feeling, but right about now I could go for the squishy delight of a good arm chair. I'm talking about the kind of arm chair that makes you relax just by sitting in it. One whose plush upholstery is padded just so. I am talking about an arm chair that loves you back. Long gone are the days when easy chairs were overstuffed. Now they are trim, and slim, and modern, able to make a person comfortable in even the most refined of settings. I mean, or not. It doesn't take a particularly stylish abode to enjoy a chair like one of these. Now pour yourself a beer, turn on the TV (or pour yourself a cup of herbal tea, and grab a book, if that works better for you), and count down to dream land. These chairs will take you there.
Six Easy Chairs to Take It Easy In
The Eames Lounger: I am sorry, but this is a $5000 chair. And you know what? If I had $5000 to burn, I would buy it. The reason that the Eames Lounger (and ottoman) has been popular for so many years is that it is amazing. It manages to be both catatonically comfortable and permanently design-smart. White or black, light wood or dark wood, the Eames lounger is for the win.
The Blu Dot Dwell/Rapson Lounger: The minimal footprint of this chair belies its comfort. What am I talking about? Unlike the Eames Lounger, I have never sat in the Rapson Lounger. However, like the Eames Lounger, its a modern statement piece that you can fall asleep in while reading. I love how the arm rests are little stuffed rolls. I also love the ergonomic angle that it gently tips you back at.
The Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams Tobi Leather Arm Chair: What happens when you take a traditional wing chair design, and tilt it back at an ergonomic angle, and cut away the outline so that it looks more MOMA than grandpa's house? You get the Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams Tobi Leather Arm Chair. Look at it from the side if you want to be flushed with longing...for a wing chair.
