The Steelcase Think chair is available in your choice of black or platinum frame.
Black and Platinum frame chairs come standard with a matching base. Choose to upgrade your Think Chair to a Polished Aluminum frame for a polished finish.
All Steelcase chairs are available with the upholstery options below. Orders of four chairs or less ship with the standard lead time of about a week. For quantity orders, the lead time may be the same or slightly longer.
Choose from standard adjustable arms, fixed arms or no arms for your Think chair.
Note: We highly recommend the standard adjustable arms. They adjust up and down, left and right, forwards and backwards, and angle 30 degrees in each direction. They are easily some of the best arms on the market.
The Think chair headrest adjusts 4" vertically and 2.5" horizontally. For users 6'2" or taller, the headrest will act as a neck support as it will most likely not be tall enough. This headrest is removable, and will ship separate from the chair. The headrest is only available in black vinyl upholstery.
The Steelcase Think Chair is available with a standard (seat height: 16'' - 21'') or tall (seat height: 18'' - 25'') cylinder.
The Think chair lumbar support features easy adjust tabs that allow the user to adjust lumbar height 4.25" to fit the individual curvature of their back.
Choose between standard hard carpet casters or soft casters. Soft casters are designed to prevent damage to hardwood floors and to roll more slowly so that your chair doesn't slip out from under you when you stand up.

NEC's orchestral conducting program was reorganized and reenergized in 2009-10 under the direction of NEC's Stanford and Norma Jean Calderwood Director of Orchestras, Hugh Wolff.
A highly selective, two-year, graduate-level curriculum that offers the Master of Music degree, the Orchestral Conducting major is designed to develop the artistic, leadership, and aural skills needed to prepare the most talented young conductors for a professional orchestra career.
"We have so much contact with Mr. Wolff—almost five to six hours a week. It's almost constant contact and it's really great to just talk about music."
—Joshua Weilerstein, '11 M.M.
Course work in score reading, instrumentation, orchestration, and performance practice, along with private studio and seminars, reinforces the student's understanding of the conductor's art and craft.
Tapping into the vast orchestral resources of the Conservatory, conductors are encouraged to develop and pursue opportunities to rehearse and perform with symphony orchestras, including a dedicated Laboratory Orchestra.
"This has been one of the most healthy learning environments, particularly in music, that I've had. I'm five times the conductor I was a year ago."
—Aram Demirjian '11 M.M.
This hands-on experience allows them to refine the technique needed to convey their musical ideas. Through mini apprenticeships with partner organizations like the Boston Pops and the Handel and Haydn Society, student conductors become well versed in all the styles and genres they may encounter in the professional world. They emerge competent to lead everything from Baroque oratorios to the classical canon to accompaniments for pop singers.
Admission to the program is based on screening of videotape/DVD submissions, followed by possible invitation to Boston for a live audition with orchestra, interview, and entrance examination.
"Mr. Wolff is supportive, as respectful of his students as he is of his colleagues, and unbounding in his generosity with his time and effort."
—Aram Demirjian

Will that nasty old problem returned tonight. Now, however, the previous fixes don't seem to work. Much like before, when I run the checks it shows X's in the boxes for the satellites. The second 811 is working just fine. I think you guys nailed it when you stated it is a switch causing the problem. I did try disconnecting just the coaxial feedline on the other 811 earlier, but that didn't work. I will keep trying different things. I did want to wait a little longer before upgrading to a 622, but maybe I won't be able to wait much longer after all. Unfortunately I entered into a one year bundled contract with Frontiernet, but that expires in about two months. We will see if I can get by with just one 811 until then. Or maybe I will dig the old 301 out of mothballs yet!

Now both of my 811 receivers are starting to give me a notice about the smart card not being authorized. I get this about once every day or two. Usually I can re-boot and then everything is fine gain. The upgrade to the 622 is looking better every day.

Gun control is rooted in Democratic Party Racism
Posted in the Minneapolis Forum
By Frances Rice How ironic that, on the day former exalted cyclop of the Ku Klux Klan Democrat Senator Robert Byrd died, the US Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional the gun control laws that are embedded firmly in the Democratic Party's racist roots. At the heart of the McDonald v. City of Chicago case that is posted on the US Supreme Count's Internet site is the Court's decision that the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution - that was pushed through by Republicans after the Civil War, led by Republican Senator Charles Sumner - is the anchor that binds state and local governments to the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for self defense. Otis McDonald, one of the plaintiffs, is a black man who just wanted to have the right to protect himself from criminals who terrorized him in his home with frequent break-ins. The only current black US Supreme Court member, Justice Clarence Thomas who was appointed by Republican President George H. W. Bush, courageously delved into the racist origins of gun control laws to demonstrate that such laws have no place in a nation of free people. The liberal justices on the Court, including Justice Sonia Sotomayor who was appointed last year by Democrat President Barack Obama, voted against the black plaintiff and his fellow Chicago residents. The McDonald case provides a bird eye's view of the history of Democratic Party racism. Referenced in the Court's opinion is the 1856 Republican Party Platform that includes language about the "right of the people to keep and bear arms." A key source used by the Court is the book "Reconstruction: America's Unfinished Revolution 1863-1877" by Dr. Eric Foner whose biography can be found on the Internet. Forner's book reveals how, before the Civil War ended, Southern States enacted "Slave Codes" that prohibited slaves from owning firearms. After Republican President Abraham Lincoln issued the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves in the rebelling States, and after Republicans pushed through the Thirteenth Amendment freeing all the remaining slaves, Democrats in the South persisted in keeping the newly freed slaves from owning the means to protect themselves - guns. The Supreme Court in the McDonald decision wrote about how, after the Civil War, the Southern States started passing laws, called "Black Codes", to systematically disarm blacks, specifically the over 180,000 blacks who returned to the States of the old Confederacy after serving in the Union Army. In response to the "Black Codes," the Republican-controlled Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866. But the Democrats would not be deterred. Very soon after the 1866 law was enacted, Alabama, followed by other Southern States, again passed "Black Codes" that made it illegal for blacks to own firearms. |
Cited by the Court in the McDonald case, as an example of such a discriminatory code, is the Mississippi law that stated: "no freedman, free negro or mulatto, not in the military service of the United States government, and not licensed so to do by the board of police of his or her county, shall keep or carry fire-arms of any kind, or any ammunition, dirk or bowie knife." In one Southern town, according to the Supreme Court, the marshal confiscated the weapons of the returning black Union soldiers and, at every opportunity, promptly shot black people.
The Court's McDonald decision records that: "Throughout the South, armed parties, often consisting of ex-Confederate soldiers serving in the state militias, forcibly took firearms from newly freed slaves". In his book about Reconstruction, Dr. Foner revealed that in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan was started as a Tennessee social club. The Klan then became a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party and spread into other Southern States, launching a "reign of terror" against Republican leaders, black and white. The Klan would "order the colored men to give up their arms; saying that everybody would be Kukluxed in whose house fire-arms were found". In the McDonald decision, the Court pointed out how the Republican-controlled Congress, while debating the Fourteenth Amendment, referred to the right to keep and bear arms as a fundamental right deserving of protection. Republican Senator Samuel Pomeroy described three "indispensable" "safeguards of liberty under our form of Government", one of which was the right to keep and bear arms. Pomeroy said: "Every man ... should have the right to bear arms for the defense of himself and family and his homestead. And if the cabin door of the freedman is broken open and the intruder enters for purposes as vile as were known to slavery, then should a well-loaded musket be in the hand of the occupant to send the polluted wretch to another world, where his wretchedness will forever remain complete". Pomeroy's words reflect exactly the sentiment expressed by Otis McDonald when he and his fellow Chicagoans filed a law suit against the Democrat-controlled City of Chicago that had confiscated their weapons, leaving them to the mercy of intruders who had broken open his door and entered his home for vile purposes.

Judged: 1 1 1 Apparently being educated and articulate are not suppose to be characteristics of minority groups. And if you are a black women youre supposed to be a Democrat by default; if youre not than you must be a race traitor. How does that thinking leave room for forming individual ideas and beliefs and respecting those ideas and beliefs that may be different from our own? Oh, it doesnt. Who are the racists again? And finally, a single race does not collectively think and vote the same way. Just as not all African Americans are democrats, neither are all Hispanics. There is no Hispanic vote to be bought with insulting promises of amnesty. Thats stereotyping. It implies that Hispanics only political concern is immigration because, you know, you must be illegal or have an illegal family member or something. When you have a person who cannot look past another persons race, who consistently stereotypes based on that race, and treats that person with hostility when they dont conform to that perception; you have a person who practices racism. You have the Democratic party. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/thecrescat/2012/... |

I have an answer that will save 1000's of lives....and we MUST do whatever it takes! Fauching Sheeple! |
it is an issue and criminals may not own guns, but the outright taking away the 2nd amendment rights of African-Americans is not okay. |

The true racists in this country are the Democrats. You asinine comment about the Republicans is wrong. The proof you offer for who is racist is asking someone who has been bought off with bobbles and phones and is told that he/she does not have to do what other people have to do. Equality is for all, not just some. |
I think that the Urban Cesspool should have more guns! Why should Americans that happen to be Black be subjected to Government Sanctioned and Promoted Terror because they have not crawled out of the Demokrat Controlled Urban Cesspools? A majority of Americans that happen to be Black are terrorized by the Minority of American Ne..oes that lack the ability to lose the Feral Nature of their Roots! Time will cure this, but until they can have their defects watered down by Natural Selection "We must do whatever it takes to save lives" I am talking about the ignorance of the Sheeple that lack ANY common sense and willingly have their Defective Emotions manipulated by their Great Leaders. It is about "Saving Lives". RESPONSIBLE Americans must sacrifice their Constitutional Rights because so much violence happens in the Demokrat Controlled Cesspools. Most of the Killing in the Cesspools is committed by the Group Members that vote 100% Demokrat, and about 110% Demokrat when their Messiah ran in 2012 in many of the Demokrat Controlled Urban Cesspools. If the Great Leaders want to control Crimes with Guns, go to where the crime problem is! The Sheeple though, they just say......Bayahayahahahah! |

Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.
I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.
You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill you stay in wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
You have to let it all go, Neo. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.
Welcome to the real world.
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. When you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of people we're trying to save, but until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand that most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it. Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the woman in the red dress?
Look again. Freeze it.
No. It's another training program designed to teach you one thing. If you are not one of us, you are one of them.
Sentient programs. They can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system. That means that anyone we haven't unplugged is potentially an agent.
Inside the matrix they are everyone and they are no one.
We have survived by hiding from them, by running from them. But they are the gatekeepers. They are guarding all the doors, they are holding all the keys which means that sooner or later, someone is going to have to fight them.
I won't lie to you, Neo. Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, everyone who has fought an agent has died. But where they have failed, you will succeed.
I've seen an agent punch through a concrete wall. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be.
If you'd told us the truth, we would've told you to shove that red pill right up your ass!
Just between you and me, you don't believe it, do you? You don't believe this guy is The One?
It means buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy, 'cause Kansas is going bye-bye.
Good shit, huh? Dozer makes it. It's good for two things: degreasing engines and killing brain cells.
I know what you're thinking, 'cause right now I'm thinking the same thing. Actually, I've been thinking it ever since I got here. Why, oh why didn't I take the blue pill?
I know this steak doesn't exist. I know that when I put it in my mouth, the Matrix is telling my brain that it is juicy and delicious. After nine years, you know what I realize? Ignorance is bliss.
All I do is what he tells me to do.
...there's way too much information to decode the Matrix. You get used to it, though. Your brain does the translating. I don't even see the code. All I see is blonde, brunette, and redhead. Hey uh, you want a drink?
Don't hate me Trinity. I'm just a messenger. And right now, I'm gonna prove it to you. If Morpheus was right, then there's no way I can pull this plug. I mean, if Neo's the one, then there'd have to be some kind of miracle to stop me. I mean how can he be the one if he's dead? You never did answer me before, if you bought into Morpheus' bullshit. All I want is a little yes or a no. Look into his eyes, those big pretty eyes. And tell me. Yes or no.
As you can see, we've had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson. It seems that you've been living two lives. In one life, you're Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company. You have a social security number, you pay your taxes, and you... help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias Neo and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not. I'm going to be as forthcoming as I can be, Mr. Anderson. You're here because we need your help. We know that you've been contacted by a certain individual. A man who calls himself Morpheus. Now, whatever you think you know about this man is irrelevant. He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive. My colleagues believe that I'm wasting my time with you, but I believe you wish to do the right thing. Well, we're willing to wipe the slate clean. Give you a fresh start. And all that we're asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known terrorist to justice.
Agent Smith

Brief Bio
Ken has hands-on experience with cold fusion, aether energy, and advanced thermodynamics. The advanced thermo is his primary area of investigation.
Ken has been issued US patent, 6,698,200 B1 (March 4, 2004), for a super-Carnot heat engine. The research behind this "perpetual motion machine of the second kind" has been published in Infinite Energy magazine, Issue #52. Ken has experimentally verified a macroscopic Maxwell's Demon, what Ken calls the Proell effect. Two mathematical proofs are publicly available to back up the theory and experimental evidence.
Ken has written several articles for IE over the years and has provided peer review of manuscripts and of inventions brought to NERL/CFTI/NEF.
Ken worked closely with the late Gene Mallove in a laboratory together, and listed him as his primary reference at the time he came aboard PES in November, 2003.
Energy Snapshot
I have been in the field of frontier physics alternative energy for a few years and was the Laboratory Manager and a Research Scientist at New Energy Research Laboratory in Bow, New Hampshire. I worked primarily with cold fusion and replicated Roger Stringham's sonofusion, a distant cousin to Taleyharkan's deuterated acetone ultrasonic cavitation at ORNL. Stringham's cavitation of heavy water is a boundary layer process against certain metals, involving solid state physics, not plasma physics in cavitation bubbles in the bulk of the liquid like ORNL.

Jackie & the Starlites were another one-hit wonder doo wop group -- "Valerie," cut for Bobby Robinson's Fury label in 1960, being their one hit; it was cut at the tail end of the doo wop era and, indeed, may have been among the first songs in that style to appeal as an "oldie" in style.

Keep your carpets green, no matter the color, by using these green-cleaning tips
By Stephen Ashkin
Traditional extractors use an excessive amount of water, especially when compared to newer low-flow models, which can use less than one gallon of water per minute.
Building managers, working with their custodial crews, are transferring to environmentally preferable cleaning systems and products in record numbers. What started as a trickle just a few years ago is now beyond a trend. For many building managers in many industries, having their facilities "green-cleaned" is a given.
However, the situation gets a bit more complicated when it comes to tasks such as carpet cleaning. Maintaining carpets can require frequent cleaning, sometimes using very powerful cleaning chemicals, making "green" a challenge. The following are some key steps building owners and managers can take to reduce carpet cleaning's impact on the environment:
Prioritize carpet cleaning. Many facilities schedule carpet cleaning throughout the year, with certain areas cleaned on a set schedule. This may work in some parts of a building as long as those carpeted areas do need to be cleaned. But what often happens is the executive areas of facilities, where carpets tend to stay relatively unsoiled, get more than their fair share of attention. Carpet cleaning should be prioritized: clean those areas that get more soiled more frequently and the less soiled areas less frequently.
Vacuum frequently. It is estimated that 80 percent of the soils in carpets are dry, such as dust and grit. An effective vacuum cleaner, employing a HEPA or similar filtration system, can remove these soils from carpets, which prevents them from further soiling the floor covering. In addition, a high filtration system protects indoor air quality.
Employ interim carpet cleaning methods. Although the extraction method is the most thorough carpet cleaning procedure, it uses a lot of water. Older extractors may use as much as two gallons of water per minute, as well as large amounts of chemicals. Often a shampoo, bonnet, or dry carpet cleaning method can be used on an interim basis. These processes use far less water, energy, and chemicals, which reduces cleaning's impact on the environment.
Low-flow technologies. Even when incorporating an interim carpet cleaning system, switching to low-flow or low-moisture extractors can reduce water use dramatically. Some systems use less than one gallon of water per minute and the carpets dry in two to four hours. This expedited cleaning time helps prevent mold or mildew from developing.
Use cold water when cleaning carpets. While this is a somewhat controversial suggestion, most soils will be removed from carpets by using cold water, depending on the degree of soiling. Why is this important? The heating of water, especially when using portable extractors, can draw large amounts of power. Using cold water eliminates this. Additionally, depending on how the chemicals are used with the system, hot water can cause the development of fumes that can be harmful to the user and indoor air quality.
Use green-certified cleaning chemicals. Today, this is a "no-brainer." Several manufacturers now have green-certified carpet cleaning products or products that meet or exceed certification standards. Most users find these products compare favorably with, if not exceed, the performance standards of conventional carpet cleaning chemicals.
Maintain the equipment … and know when it is time to select new machines. One 23-story building in Chicago has employed the same portable carpet extractor for more than 15 years. The machine breaks down regularly, is an excessive water and power user, and due to its lack of cleaning power, requires large amounts of chemical solution to perform adequately. Fortunately the building's managers have decided to replace the machine. Newer machines require far less water and energy and use less chemical more efficiently than machines produced just a few years ago. Consider new equipment if current machines are more than seven years old and be sure to maintain them properly to keep them operating most effectively.
Touching on Sustainability As you may have noticed, many of these tips now include sustainability issues. Green and sustainability are becoming intertwined. Whenever any type of cleaning can be performed using less water, less chemical, or less energy, not only is it greener and healthier, but it is using natural resources more responsibly. This is why the next step in green carpet cleaning, or for that matter all cleaning, is sustainable cleaning.
Stephen P. Ashkin is president of The Ashkin Group, a consulting firm specializing in greening the cleaning industry, as well as Sustainablity Tool LLC. He is also coauthor of both The Business of Green Cleaning and Green Cleaning for Dummies.

How do you continue, maintain and improve upon something that started more than 100 years ago? It's a good question, and something that we ask ourselves on a regular basis here in the newsroom. You see the Bluefield Daily Telegraph is a 117-year-old publication. That's right. The late Hugh Ike Shott published his first issue of the daily newspaper on Jan. 18, 1896. The newspaper itself was actually founded in 1893. It was a weekly publication before it became a daily newspaper in 1896.
Today, we are charged with continuing the history that began more than 117 years ago. It is a unique responsibility. Our brand is timeworn, known and trusted by the community. There aren't, after all, that many companies out there that can say they are 117 years old. We are proudly continuing the tradition today that a team of pioneering journalists in our region began more than a century ago.
The old newspaper office — now a local historic landmark in Bluefield — is still standing on Bland Street. Although in the very beginning the newspaper was actually published about one block north of its old Bland Street location in a building that no longer exists.
A lot has changed over the years in the newspaper business. We are old-school journalists. But we are also new-school journalists. We are print pioneers in a new era of interactive, multi-media journalism. But we are also traditional print journalists. The people responsible for getting your daily newspaper to you each morning — just in time for breakfast. But much has changed. Here is a little behind the scenes glimpse of an average morning for myself, and others, in the newsroom.
• Arrive at the office, turn on the computer, and immediately get to work on updating the newspaper website. This involves perusing through the Associated Press news feed — state stories, national stories and even international stories as of late thanks to the Syria crisis. State stories, particularly those generated out of West Virginia and Virginia, are uploaded to the website. Some of these stories are also promoted on our Facebook page. We know there are certain stories that our Facebook friends are more likely to respond to than others. At the same time, I'm also looking for state, and even national stories, that could be localized by our reporting staff. Videos are also added to our website throughout the day, as well as occasional slideshows of local events and activities. If the news merits it, a breaking news banner is added to the website. And if the story is interesting or big enough, we also may tweet it through Twitter with a direct link to the article.
• Coming up with a morning poll question is often a team effort. It's not unusual for Editor Samantha Perry to come out of the office and get my opinion on a potential poll question. She is better at coming up with poll question ideas than I am. When it is my turn to come up with the daily poll, I will often turn to Lifestyles Editor Jamie Parsell, who can normally come up with a question that I would never have thought of. The poll questions dealing with politics or national issues are normally my ideas. Once we decide upon a poll, it is then a race to get that poll question uploaded, and also linked to our Facebook page, so that our readers can start voting on the poll bright and early in the morning. The final poll results are placed in the next morning's print edition.
• Then it is time to send out our morning email news digest. I do this on most mornings as well — and it is probably the most time consuming process of the morning. But it is still a great way to interact with our mobile readers each day. Sadly, the computer will often glitch, lock up or generally be stubborn on more than a few occasions when it comes time to "blast" the email news digest.
• The job doesn't stop there. Keeping our website and online content fresh continues throughout the day. It's a responsibility that I normally assume in the morning and afternoon hours. Videos — out of an abundance of caution — must also be previewed (even when they are coming from reliable sources) before they are posted to our website. And we also enjoy interacting with our Facebook readers throughout the day. Yes, we are reading what you are posting. No, we don't normally like to moderate, delete or restrict posts unless it is absolutely necessary.
But that's the new-school part of the job. The old-school part of putting out a daily newspaper includes coming up with story ideas and photographs writing those stories and taking those photographs, making police checks, paginating pages, attending meetings and making sure the all-important daily deadline is always met.
An average morning today for the newsroom is quite different from what it was say 10 or 117 years ago. In many ways, the print journalists of today are bridging the gap between the journalists of yesterday and those of tomorrow. While we are continually evolving, we are still steadfast advocates of accuracy, facts, attribution and fairness — the foundation of traditional journalism. That's something that hasn't changed over the past 117 years.
