FlashFurniture Hercules Series High-Back Big and Tall Office Chair with Arms
Very Good
Tyler from Grand Prairie, TX– Verified Buyer
Arrived in a very beat up box, but all the parts were there and in good condition. Assembled easily enough. The chair is good for the price, but not nearly as comfortable as I was hoping for. For the price though, it is a bargain.
New customer

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Albany police are looking for the three people who they said robbed a home and fired a shot Saturday night near the College of St. Rose, sending the school into lockdown.
A school spokesperson tells us around 9 p.m., three masked people robbed a home on Hudson Avenue, just east of Partridge Street. As they were leaving, one of the suspects reportedly fired a shot outside the home.
No one was injured. The school was placed on lockdown and students were asked to take shelter while Albany police and school security searched for the suspects, but it was later lifted.

Our trip to the Grand Canyon was wonderful, So much more than I expected, Our tour guide Rick Riley couldn't of been nicer, he was informative, knowledgeable, and so nice. Rick knew everyone by name and offered to take everyones picture with their families. The lunch they ordered was excellent .and filling. there was plenty of water to drink and the seats on the van were more than comfortable. This is a a great tour for families, young and old. The mountains of Sedona are breathtaking. and the Grand Canyon is really a beautiful wonder. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.All the sites you see are amazing.
My wife and I did the small group Sedonna and Grand Canyon tour from Scottsdale back in mid February with Charlie as the guide. We also decided to do the 45 min heli tour at the canyon as well. This trip in one word was ...well there is no single word. This trip was unbelievable, breathtaking and awe-inspiring! A definite must for anyone visiting Arizona. If I had an issue, it would be that there was not more stops to take more pictures but I know that this would make a very long day even longer, so I understand the necessity to keep moving. Charlie was an excellent guide and provided a great deal of information and some light hearted personal anecdotes to make for a very pleasurable trip. Thank you sir ! This trip was timely and punctual and the vehicle was clean and very comfortable.I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.
We had a very good experience on our Grand Canyon and Sedona day trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We would definitely take another tour and recommend it to our friends.

text: I've purchased their beer in upstate NY and liked it quite a lot. Stopped into the tasting room in Patchogue, NY. Got the standard three free tastes (3-4 oz each) plus an extra one for no charge. Nice little bar. Very reasonable prices. Even bought a nice t-shirt for $15. Worth a stop.

UNVEILED: First Blade Server Based on Intel Nehalem EX
The first blade server with the upcoming Intel Nehalem EX processor has finally been unveiled. While it is known that IBM will be releasing a 2 or 4 socket blade server with the Nehalem EX, no other vendor has revealed plans up until now. SGI recently announced they will be offering the Nehelem EX on their Altix® UV platform.
Touted as a "The World's Fastest Supercomputer", the UV line features the fifth generation of the SGI NUMAlink interconnect, which offers up a whopping 15 GB/sec transfer rate, as well as direct access up to 16 TB of shared memory. The system will have the ability to be configured with up to 2048 Nehalem-EX cores (via 256 processors, or 128 blades) in a single federation with a single global address space.
According to the SGI website, the UV will come in two flavors:
Altix UV 1000 - designed for maximum scalability, this system ships as a fully integrated cabinet-level solution with up to 256 sockets (2,048 cores) and 16TB of shared memory in four racks.
Altix UV 100 (not pictured) - same design as the UV 1000, but designed for the mid-range market; based on an industry-standard 19″ rackmount 3U form factor. Altix UV 100 scales to 96 sockets (768 cores) and 6TB of shared memory in two racks.
SGI has given quite a bit of techinical information about these servers in this whitepaper, including details about the Nehalem EX architecture that I haven't even seen from Intel. SGI has also published several customer testimonials, including one from the University of Tennessee – so check it out here.
Hopefully, this is just the first of many announcements to come around the Intel Nehalem EX processor.

Allegheny Health Network selected as U.S. Olympic regional medical center
Olympic athletes and hopefuls from the region could receive medical care at Allegheny Health Network as part of a partnership between the region's second largest hospital network and the U.S. Olympic Committee announced on Wednesday.
The designation of Allegheny Health as one of six U.S. Olympic regional medical centers drew immediate criticism from rival UPMC, whose officials said at least nine local Olympic athletes receive care at UPMC's Center for Sports Medicine in the South Side.
Allegheny Health, which includes flagship Allegheny General Hospital in the North Side, estimated that roughly 150 athletes could get care in areas such as sports medicine, orthopedics, cardiovascular care and physical therapy.
"It's a tremendous honor for our sports medicine program to be asked to join this impressive network," said Dr. Patrick DeMeo, chairman of Allegheny Health's department of orthopedic surgery.
UPMC spokeswoman Susan Manko said the health giant often is approached for similar sponsorships but declines them because they are "financially wasteful."
"These types of sponsorships are expensive and are simply a good money generator for the USOC, as well as a good PR tactic for the sponsor," Manko said.
She said elite and professional athletes typically have relationships with their own physicians and would not seek care based on a sponsorship.
Jan Jennings, president of Downtown consulting firm American Healthcare Solutions, called the partnership a good move for Allegheny Health Network.
"It's very prestigious," he said. "If UPMC were doing it, Allegheny would have something negative to say. They're like two children in a sandbox."
Dr. Ed Snell, director of primary care sports medicine for Allegheny Health, said athletes would be sent to Allegheny Health through the U.S. Olympic Committee based on needs and severity of injuries.
"We're capable of handling any injury or medical problem," Snell said.
The 150 or so local athletes who train in the region include summer and winter sports. Allegheny Health officials did not say where the athletes train.
"That number includes Olympic hopefuls in the pipeline for future Games," said Vanessa Virbitsky, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Allegheny Health Network officials would not disclose financial terms of the deal.
"It's a shame UPMC feels the need to diminish the (Olympic Committee's) efforts to better meet the health care needs of athletes as they train and prepare to represent our country in Olympic competition," said Allegheny Health Network spokesman Dan Laurent.
The U.S. Olympic Committee in August devised a National Medical Network to provide medical care to elite athletes. The six-hospital network includes facilities in New York and Colorado.
Health insurer Highmark, which owns the seven-hospital Allegheny Health Network, is the "official health insurer" of Team USA.

1 year Chiari decompression surgery anniversary

Kadyns seizure
Saturday night, well more like early Sunday morning, Kadyn had a seizure. I could sense it was coming. It had been awhile since his last one and I knew it would happen any day. I didn't expect it to happen that night while I was enjoying a night out with friends but, it did. I rushed home to find Kadyn on the floor with his daddy sitting next time him. A wash cloth on his forehead and Kadyn laying next to blood on the carpet. Harvey said Kadyn spit up some blood and had a fever of 102, So I decided to pack him up and take him to Children's hospital. We arrived and things went quick and we were taking back to be seen. Kadyn was super postictle so they hooked him up to monitors and watched him. Here is where I got super angry. Now Kadyn has been hitting his head and the back of his neck a lot. These are things that I mentioned to the dr. He called neurosurgery later and told then and the Rn asked if I felt it was the shunt. I felt it's something that we needed to rule out this time and really the only reason I brought him in was to do so. But my opinion was squashed and blood work showed no sign of infection or anything so we were sent home. Great.

It's that time of the year again!
Walk Season is here! Help out stomp, roll and walk out hydrocephalus! Kadyn has a team this year and we are hoping nothing gets in the way of us going. Even so you can still donate towards the Hydrocephalus Foundation!
Kadyn would appreciate any donations!
Also if you donate, comment on here and let me know you donated. I will then after the Walk (which is in August) have Kadyn choose a name with his activation switch and that person will receive a tshirt from me! :)
Here is the link to his team page to donate :)
Thank you!!!

Kadyn has a shunt?
With Kadyn's hydrocephalus comes his shunt, or shall I say shunts. Kadyn has 2 shunts. It's been almost 4 years since Kadyn's last shunt malfunction. That is such a blessing. He has been a true miracle. I often forget that Kadyn even has a shunt. Since he has not had any real issues other than his epilepsy. The good thing though is his seizures are not controlling his life as much as they used to. I am thankful for this. Kadyn's conditions seem to have gotten better and not worse. At one point we were told that his conditions would pretty much take over his life, but I do not see that as the case. He has seizures still, but they are months apart and not days. I don't know what the future holds for his shunts but so far they are working perfectly. Kadyn is 6 years old, which is 6 years more than what we were told we would have with him. He is the definition of a true fighter. Everyday he is learning something new, and doing these new skills. The other day in school he said bottle and bye bye for the first time. I haven't heard these but Kadyn likes to say something 1 time or 2 times and then that is it, you wont hear it for awhile or ever again if that. He is also sitting up unsupported more. Not for very long periods of time but he is doing it and getting into the sitting position all on his own. I am so proud of him. He is also taking many steps in his walker at school. My hope is by summer i can take him for walks where he can walk himself.
Kyle is 6 months old today. It is amazing how time just flies right on by. He can roll from back to front and front to back. He can not quite sit up unsupported yet but we are almost there. He loves watching my dogs and touching them. He is exploring his surroundings more. He is still an amazing sleeper. Sleeping through the night every night in his own bed. I think him being able to sleep in his own bed is the best decision I ever made. I know there is this whole big thing about co-sleeping and bed sharing but it was not for me. If my child can fall asleep by me just laying him in his bed, I am all for it. His only comfort items are is stuffed monkey that sings and his thumb. Yup I have a little thumb sucker, but I am ok with that. Thumbs are free, binki's are expensive. Kyle self weaned from his paci at 3 months old. Amazing!
Kadyn is a little more nicer and gentle with Kyle. He knows not to pinch him and to be careful. I think he realizes that Kyle is a baby. I just hope that I can teach Kyle not to judge anyone. I hope that I can raise him around Kadyn to accept everyone for their disabilities and all. I hope I can teach him not to say cruel things to people because they are "different" I want to raise him right. I think Kyle will be a super sweet boy. He is already super sweet and so happy all the time.

I probably should update this more
If I had time anymore I would still update this blog almost daily, but with a new job, a new baby, and Kadyn it's hard to do anything anymore.

Sorry, but you're wrong. McCain has wore out the POW card with his constituents, and he's now just a rubber stamp for the DemoRATS! He couldn't care less about his citizens as he's now avoiding any Town Halls at call cost.
Sorry, nice try though. AZ is still very much a Red State and we do not consider McLame a Republican by any mean. He's a RINO traitor to this State and constituents.
This is the year to stop donating to any known RINO of both Houses, and McLame is the top left-wing RINO to be booted off his fat @$$! The GOP needs to be revamped to remove left-wing RINOs and those who collude with the DemoRATS and this communist White House!

Want to talk about hypocrisy and double standard? Well, below is a short article about a bar owner in LA, who do not welcome Christians in his establishment. Where's the Gay-Right activists or the ACLU? Discrimination? You Bet! ["Then there's the case of the West Hollywood gay bar, the Abbey Food and Bar by name, run by one David Cooley. While Arizona thinks of allowing its citizens the right not to serve gays because of their religion, Mr. Cooley has already claimed the right to refuse service to those, who in his view, have voted for "discrimination" against gays. Says Mr. Cooley as reported by the local Los Angeles CBS station: "I want to send a message to all those people out there who conflate Christian values with discrimination: we don't want your kind here," Cooley said. "I've learned that I can't stop crazy, ignorant or stupid, but I can stop it from coming through my doors." The move isn't the first time The Abbey has waded into state politics: when gay marriage was still illegal in California in May 2012, the bar announced a ban on all bachelorette parties, which it called an "offensive heterosexual tradition that flaunts marriage inequality."]

an humble admiration of bruce petty's work...
I admire Bruce Petty.
He is quite older than I am, yet he has a far superior satirical contemporary expression than I can muster. Bruce Petty's brush or pen or finger is all over the place like an annoying fly we chase with an Aussie salute. But the flight path of the lines is but than random as we soon discover the cutting purpose of the graffiti-like penmanship.
The relationship between reality and the image explodes like a series of World War I shells falling on sleepy troops playing Blackadder's get-me-outta-here in the trenches. It rattles windows and it plunges in our bath-tubs, making a tidal wave from Sydney to Perth. If I was Julia Morris I would use the word "delicious" whatever this would mean.
From our suburbia to our government's spooky theatrics, we travel with Bruce Petty on the unicycles of our hypocritical prejudices, while thinking we're smug at the wheel of our latest Merc or our Toyota ute with Bluey in the tray.
Crikey!, I have heard, is looking for a new cartoonist as it lost "The First Dog on the Moon" to the Guardian... I would suggest to Crikey!'s mob, for krissake, hire Bruce Petty or get permission rights to reproduce in full all his 1960s drawings of Australia's life on all levels, which are as true now as they were then. Possibly more relevant now since we had time to "evolve" on the same average spot.
I do not have the time to do more than what's on offer on this site. It takes too much energy to crank it up.
See, Bruce Petty's work appears to come from an obsessed genius philosopher who can draw quick and be a knife-throwing poet at the same time — with an irrationally controlled-hand, that a computer would mutilate.
Computers "normalise" everything. They reduce time, matter and energy into blancmange bytes in which the fun is often absorbed like blotting paper absorbs a splutter of ink. And a computer makes me lazy. It's comfortable to know that mine is the keeper of my memory and knowledge, as I remember little and know peanuts. Without the computer, I would be prodding a stick to collect greasy waste paper thrown by tossers on park lawns, which to some extend could be better than being dazzled by a screen scroll.
Sometimes, I dream of being obsessed with vitriolic angry black lines but only end up waking up lazy as usual... I must be having "better other things to do" during the day. So I recycle a lot — including faces, jackets and ties.
In order to achieve this "Petty" look one would need to defocus on the precision and shoot with unrestrained trained imagination and a proper free-hand. One needs to also be on familiar terms with the weapons of choice, the pen or the whatever tool and the blank page.
A blank page can be daunting for many authors, but rarely to the energised doodler with a sharp sense of observed cultural decadence "in growth like a canker". But I suppose, without this decadence, there would be no Bruce Petty burning pens on sheets of drawing paper.
If I may indulge here, something to my detriment is that, in my toons, I have mostly chosen to play "the man", not the ball... It's more dangerous because when these "men" (and women too) have the ball, they usually try to fudge, obfuscate, lie and/or push like thick 300-pounds rugby props through a threesome of nerds with glasses.
I suppose I'd deserve a red card for this, but as usual there is no referee to see that THE MONGRELS DESERVED A RED CARD WAY BEFORE ME.
So I must become the referee and kick then in the balls...
Bruce Petty deserves far more recognition in this country for the crunching visions that he gives us. Please do not give him an OAM (he might have one?) or such gong because he deserves better than that. The Aussie medals are still unfortunately tied up to the imperial system and saint-hoods are too religious for comfort despite all the miracles Bruce Petty has performed with a tarred brush.
May be he should be honoured in the Australian Treasure hall of fame with Leonardo, Michaeangelo and Spike Milligan. But he might hate that too. Bruce Petty seems to be his own man. Appreciation of his work may the best medal he could receive.

Air masturbator Geoff Shaw and abortion
With Victoria's Parliament resuming today, it remains to be seen what onanistic MP Geoff Shaw will do — though contributing editor-at-large Tess Lawrence says she's sure it won't be in women's interests.
WHAT VICTORIAN MP GEOFF SHAW has between his legs may hold more raw intel than what lies between his ears.
Geoff Shaw, you will recall, is the honourable Member for the much maligned seaside electorate of Frankston who was filmed simulating masturbation in Parliament last year — his air seed and the taxpayer's real money yet again misspent on barren ground and facile time-wasting antics.
It was a selfie, given that he performed in public knowing full well that the House cameras were turned on — even if his colleagues weren't.
In Australia, we have diminishing expectations of our male politicians in particular, many of whom display an overt preoccupation with their own and other penises and sometimes with the olfactory mystique of lady gardens.
Today, Victoria's Parliament reconvenes in what is, by any measure, a dismal caricature of a decrepit and arthritic democracy.
The standards bar is well hung below the contemplative navel. First, we need to revisit some of the highlights of our national lowlights.

Allow me to quote one of many Bruce Petty's deep thoughts (accompanied by savaging drawings of the Liberal and Labor parties — 1967) on this thingster called the Australian government...:
"... A preferential voting system assures the voter two or three alternative choices which are carefully preferred for him on how to vote cards by his first choice. Voting is compulsory, but enthusiasm is left to the discretion of the individual as a citizen's right. The quality of the candidates is not high so 13 houses of parliament and 800 MPs are required."
resulting in incredible profiteering...
Unpublished plans for the Barangaroo site show planned buildings have more than doubled in size since the original design brief was issued, prompting the City of Sydney to call for fresh public input into the controversial development.
Two modifications, proposed but not yet public, takes the floor space to 681,000 square metres.
The council has also accused the state government of having a very serious conflict of interest, because it is both the approval authority and the owner and developer of the site.
A blunt and strongly worded paper, considered at the council's development committee on Tuesday night, marks a serious deterioration in relations between the council and the government over Barangaroo.
This is the standard way developers behave," said Councillor John Mant, a former planner. "You get approval, then you come back for a bit more, and a bit more, and you drop things that are for the public but keep the bonus floorspace. You turn a modest building into a very large one.
"The history of Barangaroo does not engender trust in the planning system."
City planners told councillors the latest modifications, known as modification 8 and 9, were so significant they should be considered as a new proposal and public input sought.
Modification 8 covers Barangaroo South where the office towers are now under construction by Lend Lease and the casino and hotel proposed by James Packer. Modification 9 covers Central Barangaroo, which is under the control of the Barangaroo Delivery Authority. They have the combined effect of increasing the floor space from 330,000 square metres in the 2005 design brief to 681,008 square metres – more than double. Compared to the first concept plan that was approved, it is a 70 per cent increase.
Cr Mant said it was not just the public but other property owners in the CBD who were affected. They had proceeded with developments only to find the market for office space, shops and restaurants swamped by a much larger Barangaroo.
"Wherever you look, the process surrounding Barangaroo is not good," Cr Mant said, referring both to the planning process and the government's failure to put the casino licence to tender.

As Bruce Petty said in his book "Petty's Australia fair" published in 1967 (republished 1976 as Petty's AUSTRALIA — and how it works):
The importance of town planing has long been appreciated,
and careful research, co-operation and ingenuity among land
owners, sub-dividers, finance institutions, shire councillors and
MPs, has resulted in some incredible profiteering.
The towns are hopeless.
