The 2012 NFL Cheerleader Kickoff Awards
Before the return of Monday Morning Cheerleader, a few predictions and predilections from the real sideline experts. (What, you're trusting those scab refs?) Also, because summer's not really over: bikinis.
By Lindsay McCormick
MVP Candidate No. 1: Tom Brady
Patricia Fox (Patriots): I think both the MVP and the offensive player of the year will go to Brady. The Patriots added Brandon Lloyd, and Josh McDaniels is back as offensive coordinator, so I expect the Patriots to be back in 2007 form. Plus, Tom has his short hair back!

CLOSS, Lisiane Quadrado and FERREIRA, Gabriela Cardozo. University-industry technology transfer in the brazilian context: a review of scientific studies published from 2005 to 2009. Gest. Prod. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.2, pp. 419-432. ISSN 0104-530X. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-530X2012000200014.
Innovation management and technology transfer (TT) in the context of university-industry interaction is a relatively new topic in Brazil and an emerging field internationally (REISMAN, 2005); thus, the data and theories related to it are still presented in a fragmented way. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify and analyze recent studies published in Brazil on the subject seeking to contribute to the consolidation of this theoretical framework. This exploratory study reviewed articles published in national journals between 2005 and 2009 using a qualitative approach. The goals, methods, and main results of these studies were summarized and discussed. The collective analysis of the studies suggests that university-industry (U-I) cooperation generates innovation, learning, and mutual benefits. It also indicates that there is still plenty of room for growth in U-I technology transfer. The literature review identified methods used in the studies, motivators, facilitators, and constraints of the process, structural characteristics and policies of universities, as well as government policies that affect the process, characteristics of firms created from academic spillovers, the social role played by universities, different forms of TT, research gaps, and suggestions for future studies.
Keywords : technology transfer; university-industry interaction; innovation management.

While some companies can seemingly do no wrong, even amid poor profits, as long as revenue remains impressive, others find themselves in the proverbial "doghouse" with one false move. And this seems to be the case with enterprise security company Palo Alto Networks (PANW), whose stock has been down by as much as 30% since a brutal May quarter.
Although the shares have rebounded slightly, up 14% over the past three months, Palo Alto has lost 35% of its value over the trailing 12 months. On Monday, however, following a better-than-expected fourth-quarter performance, during which revenue soared 49% year-over-year, investors received a glimpse of the promise that once elevated Palo Alto to "darling" status. But does it mean everything is back to "normal?"
I'm not saying that 49% growth is not impressive. I've followed this company long enough to know that growth has never been the problem. You see, when compared to larger rivals like Cisco (CSCO) and Fortinet (FTNT), Palo Alto does more than hold its own in terms of technology. In fact, I believe the company has pioneered -- what I believe to be -- next-generation security. Nonetheless, the company's ability to grow profits remains a concern.So although the stock is up slightly following Monday's fourth-quarter report, I can't say that earnings-per-share of 6 cents (excluding costs), which was in-line with estimates, is all that impressive. Plus, let's not forget that Palo Alto management had issued brutal guidance in the May quarter, which sent the stock tumbling down 15%, fueling merger and acquisition discussions. Essentially, even with the downbeat guidance issued in May, that the company only managed to meet lowered expectations should be reason for some anxiety, if not outright concern. I don't want to overstate what this means, especially since Palo Alto is still a relatively young company. But on the heels of a profit miss in the May quarter, a meaningful sequential improvement would have gone a long way to keep the bears at bay. (FIRE) in a $2.7 billion deal. To be brief, it was an expensive transaction that values Sourcefire at 12 times revenue. Not strapped for cash, Cisco could afford some luxuries. But this deal wasn't just about extravagance. Cisco is going after Palo Alto's market position. For that matter, I don't believe either Fortinet or Check Point (CHKP) are safe.

Best way to take panoramic landscape photo with D5100
|Posted in »
Is there a custom setting on D5100 that can capture panoramic landscape shots?
Howdy Richd,
Unfortunately, the Nikon D5100 doesn't come equipped with a dedicated panorama mode or setting. In order to capture panoramas, you'll have to do it the good ole' fashioned way.
In my experience, the best way to capture a panoramic shot is to mount your D5100 to a tripod and enable Manual mode to ensure the exposure is exactly the same as you pan across the horizon.
Once in Manual mode, first autofocus on the horizon and then flip the switch on your lens from AF to MF. This will set the focus point and keep it consistent throughout the shot.
Next, hold down the (+/-) button and rotate the command dial to set the aperture. For landscapes and cityscapes, you'll want to be around f/8 to f/11.
After you set your desired aperture, take a look at the LCD screen. You'll see a bunch of notches from (+) to (-). This is the exposure level indicator. You want the exposure level to be lined up in the middle of the indicator. Too much to the left (towards +) and you'll end up with an overexposed (bright) shot. Too much to the right (towards -) and you'll end up with an underexposed (dark) shot.
You want the level right in the middle of the indicator. To do this, you'll need to adjust the shutter speed by rotating the command dial left or right.
Once you have those settings in place. Start capturing your shots from left to right or right to left. Make sure you leave some overlap when taking your shots.
When you get back home, you can stick your photos together using Panoramic software. If you're on Windows, Image Composite Editor by Microsoft is a really easy panoramic program. If you're on Mac OS X, PTgui would be your best bet.
Hope that helps and happy shooting! :)

Hi, My gf used to use Win Patrol to delay some start up programs but she has now uninstalled Win Patrol (for other reasons), please can i ask is there a program to delay start up items? And is there any Windows Vista programs that could be delayed? Thank you.

Thanks, it looks good. My concern, though, is that my gf's laptop sometimes takes 9 minutes to get to desktop and sometimes 2 and a half minutes?
She runs SuperAntiSpyware, Avast, Malwarebytes scans regularly, even defrags and only has Avast ticked in Msconfig.....any ideas what the problem is or should i start a new thread?

Well that is certainly a bit longer than my 25 seconds from power switch to desktop. I suppose the laptop has plenty of ram? Try Soluto as a lot of stuff starts that msconfig does not list.
How long has your GF had the laptop? perhaps it's time for a fresh install of Windows?

Posted April 8, 2012 at 3:41PM
Thanks for that. She has had the laptop for four years. I've just addes 2gb of ram (and taken 1gb out) to make 4gb (Vista only 'sees' 3.5gb?)and done Soluto.
Im more confused by the vary between 2 and a half minutes and 9ish minutes?

Check the disk partitions for errors/bad sectors as well.
eg C: Properties > Tools. Might take an hour or so on reboot.
Select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors box too

Hi, Ok, i have done that and still a slow start up. However, please can someone give me their opinion on whether this is 'right'?
This is a snapshot of the task manager when it has been idle for over 15 minutes, i just dont see how there should be so much useage? The cpu useage is only 3% but you can see it has been much higher (I haven't run a single program in that time): http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa214/craigten/Graph.jpg
Here, i have opened some Google Chrome pages and a Windows Paint image and the usage seems high? http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa214/craigten/Openedpages.jpg
And here you will see that my gf is getting a message saying her D (recovery)drive is full/'low disk space' (when there is only 4mb showing if i go into the D drive and click properties on the 'recovery' data in there) Would this slow the laptop down? http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa214/craigten/Lowdiskspace.jpg
Also, there is now 4gb of ram in the laptop but the task manager shows '3038 physical memory'?
Please offer some comments on this, id love to get her laptop working better/quicker! Thank you

Call of Duty, Madden, and other heavily-marketed titles often are crafted upon 3D graphics engines, but the video game industry was built upon the simplicity and charm of the 2D game. Pong? A 2D game. Super Mario Bros.? A 2D game. Street Fighter II? A 2D game. And the list goes on.
2D games took a massive blow during the original PlayStation era where polygonal characters worlds and character models were the hot item of the day. There were some bring spots during that period from the likes of SNK Playmore and a handful of other developers, but the writing was on the wall: 2D games were a relic of a bygone era. Or was it?
Retro gaming love and indie efforts (Battleheart, Danmaku Unlimited) led the 2D charge, but a handful of high-profile releases (Mega Man 9, Mortal Kombat, The King of Fighters XIII) brought 2D games to a wide number of people across a variety of devices, from console games to smart phones. So if you love 2D games, check out our picks for the best 2D games of the modern era.
BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend is concentrated insanity. Underneath the inviting fluid animation and wild rock music beats the heart of a twisted, sick monster. This game is…ridiculous. It's ridiculous how hard it is, how it takes so much time to learn all the intricacies and subtleties, and even when you do gain an understanding for most of them you're still miles and miles away from "being any good."
Each character has an extra quirk, an extra gauge added to the screen to wrap your head around, and you better know each character's ins and outs because you're never sure who you'll be up against. The bar for admission is about yay high, across a lava-filled chasm and Guile is on the other side readying a Flash Kick to your face. Or, in BlazBlue's case, a little girl with the soul of a boy and a grown woman inside her riding a merry-go-round horse around. But BlazBlue wants you to understand it and has one of the best tutorials ever seen in a fighting game.
Double Dragon Neon
Double Dragon Neon reboots the original classic as it reaches the quarter century mark. Instead of strictly adhering to the original game's plot of Billy and Jimmy Lee retrieving a kidnapped Marion from the hands of street vermin in a post-apocalyptic metropolis, Double Dragon veers into the area of Day-Glo, synthesizer abuse, and big hair – and revels in its cheese. Marion's once again gut-punched, but this is a decidedly different title altogether than the original and the game benefits from the change.
WayFoward has become the go-to team for retro-style gaming action. Between Contra 4, Aliens Infestation, and now Double Dragon Neon it's easy to understand why. There's a loving touch on display here, not just for the property, but for the era in which it was birthed. As such, there's a good chance that gamers who didn't grow up in the '80s with Double Dragon may overlook this title, or miss its significance. Double Dragon Neon is an incredibly fun retro romp that should find a place with genre fans and, hopefully, those willing to expand their horizons.
Dragon's Crown
Dragon's Crown is the best beat-em-up this generation — maybe ever. There's been a resurgence of late — cycles come and go as they often do — and while Double Dragon Neon and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game scratched the brawler itch, they were only only appetizers to Vanillaware's Dragon's Crown, a gorgeous ode to Disney, Frank Frazetta, and Capcom's classic Dungeons & Dragons games. The large 2D graphics, typical of Kamitani's exaggerated illustrations, flex, morph and stretch with an anime-meets-Renaissance style that must be seen in motion to truly appreciate. Each new animation, whether an explosive flame spell or a giant enemy's death wail, is an impressive display of digital artistry.
None of that, however, would matter without a solid foundation underneath. Responsive combat, intuitive controls and interlocking systems — loot, skills, a cooking mini-game (!!!) — enhance what could have been an aesthetically pleasing if simple and derivative experience. Dragon's Crown is an instant classic.
Everything about Dyad revolves around rhythm. The enemies swarm in patterns that allow you to keep a certain pace, every sound you make affects the music ala REZ, and even the colors of the menus change at a very specific pace. It's this underlying rhythm that sets the pace for the entire game. It's hard to notice at first, as the entire landscape is spinning around and colors are flashing, but once you slip into the groove, the entire game becomes hypnotic and has a trance-like effect.
Dyad's gameplay is slick and refined, the visuals are impressive, and the music is great (if you like electronic music). This is the game to get if you either want to check yourself out for a few hours at a time (legally) or you want to get every high-score. It's not the next REZ iteration, but it's definitely worth the price of admission.
Guacamelee! Gold Edition
This indie-made heavyweight borrows heavily from the gameplay mechanics of the Castlevania and Metroid franchises, but Guacamelee!'s gameplay fluidity and spectacular graphics keeps gamers wanting more excruciating piledrivers. The recently released Gold Edition features skin creation tools exclusively for the PC and the El Infierno expansion pack, which adds several trial stages to the game's campaign mode.
You play as Juan Aguacate, who's a run-of-the-mill farmer in Mexico. Shortly after you're introduced to him, El Presidente's daughter is kidnapped by Carlos Calaca, an Evil Charro Skeleton, who intends on merging the words of the living in the dead. Juan begins his journey to rescue his beloved by becoming a luchador superhero.
Players can venture in a non-linear world map that gets bigger when you learn new abilities. Newer abilities will help players overcome environmental obstacles that keep them from accessing other areas. Completing certain areas and objectives will reward you with hidden treasure boxes, ability statues to break and pinatas to kick. DrinkBox graciously rewards players who invest the time to explore by making uncovered levels unpredictable and surprisingly elaborate thanks to the ability to cross dimensions between the world of the dead and the living.
Hard Corps Uprising
Whatever you do, don't call Konami's side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter Contra. Hard Corps Uprising isn't an officially entry into that classic 2D game series (despite some very strong allusions), but the Arc System Works-developed title is just as hard (if not harder!) than its "forefathers."
Building on the usual 2D run-and-gun gameplay that typifies Contra, Hard Corps Uprising introduces a dedicated run button for actual running. This addition, the ability to dash, and dash mid-air, opens up a variety of potential maneuvers, unlockable in the game's Rising mode. In that mode, players earn Corps Points to buy abilities like vaulting over obstacles, tackling into them to cause explosive chain reactions and dodging enemies altogether. Add those new moves to the established two-weapon arsenal, strafing, and aiming formula established since Contra III, and you have a well-rounded menu of mayhem.
The King of Fighters XIII
SNK Playmore's The King of Fighters XIII is an apology letter to every fight fan that felt that sinking feeling shortly after booting up The King of Fighters XII. The Atlus-published 2D fighter remedies nearly every problem that plagued its predecessor; the roster now packs 33 combatants (two of which, Billy Kane and Saiki, are unlockable), more stages, more music tracks, and best of all, vastly improved netcode that lets you mix it up online with a bare minimum of hiccups. Simply stated, King of Fighters XIII returns the long-running series to the heights of quality that is its legacy.
In a console generation that saw the wondrous return of the 2D fighter thanks to the smash success of Mortal Kombat, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, and Persona 4: Arena, KOF XIII is addition to the new class of combatants. If you fancy yourself a fighting game fan, The King of Fighters XIII should be considered a must-have purchase as it's one of the best fighting games available.
Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony
Final Form Games' Jamestown doesn't detail John Smith's and Sir Walter Raleigh's adventures in a settlement that would evolve into Old Dominion. Instead, it details John Smith's and Sir Walter Raleigh's Martian adventures to hunt down a crazed Spanish conquistador in a delightful 2D steampunk world.
Jamestown features highly-detailed, well-animated sprites that harken back to SNK's '90s output. In fact, between the projectiles, enemy ships, and foot soldiers, it's very easy to get lost in the visuals which drip in retro 2D love — it's like a shmuppy Metal Slug. Orchestral music, scored by Francisco Cerda, adds to the thrilling sense of adventure with its energetic percussion, incredible choral arrangements, and moving strings. Jamestown supports four-player local simultaneous shooting action (including a sweet shield and chain system), so gather your brethren and fight the good fight.
Legend of Dungeon
Legend of Dungeon is an intense dungeon hack n' slash rougelike that harkens back to the olden days of the dungeon crawl. It's akin to Eye of the Beholder, Dungeon Master, and the more recent, The Legend of Grimrock mashed together with classic beat-em-ups like TMNT: The Arcade Game and Double Dragon.
Except LoD is so purely focused on hacking, slashing, and leveling up that it completely bypasses any attempt at story, which is actually incredibly refreshing. There is no need to sit through any complicated intro sequence with voice over talking about the generic fantasy world at your fingertips. It starts you off as a randomly designed character (though you're able to choose gender, which only adds pixels in certain areas of your blocky avatar) and are plopped right into a whimsical, pixilated medieval tavern complete with burning torches and indiscriminate characters.
Amidst the chaos of modern high-definition / socially acceptable / grim story driven gaming world, Legend of Dungeon's definitely a refreshing reminder of a time when games only needed to focus on being fun.
Limbo puts you in the role of boy who has a simple mission: find his missing sister. PlayDead Studios' puzzle-platformer is a work of black-and-white art that seeks to destroy you in a most beautiful and creative way as you trek through dark forests, industrial zones, and other desolate areas.
There are brutal, in-you-face killings (such as stepping on an animal trap and having your head removed), but the most frightening and shocking deaths come from the more low-key butcherings. For example, there's a section of the game where you appear to approach what looks like thin tree or bush branches, but the camera pulls back a hair, and those thin branches are revealed to be the spindly legs of monster-size spider–a spider that lives partially offscreen (which makes the battle extra frightening). You will fail (a lot), but Limbo's deaths are rarely frustrating; trial and error is a necessity in order to decipher the tricky puzzles.
Mark of the Ninja
Mark of the Ninja is a 2D, side-scrolling stealth-focused action title from Klei Entertainment, the wonderful development studio behind the Shank and Shank 2. While Mark of the Ninja shares the same comic book art style, crisp character animation, and side-scrolling progression as Shank, the similarities end there. Mark of the Ninja is a stealth game, through and through.
It encourages cunning and caution rather than brawling action and mayhem. Think Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, rather than Ninja Gaiden. Mark of the Ninja features excellent level design — there's no definitive way to get through a stage or its obstacles. There's almost always a vent, crawl space, or series of platforms that players can utilize to access or avoid certain areas, as well as distraction items and abilities players can use to clear a path or set up kills. 2D stealth doesn't get much better than Mark of the Ninja.
Mortal Kombat
It's quite fitting that NetherRealm Studios' Mortal Kombat reboot is simply entitled Mortal Kombat, no subtitle, no number. It returns the franchise to its roots with hyper-violence, accessible gameplay, eerie atmosphere, and solid (if not the most technical) fighting. A solid roster, excellent graphics, tons of unlockables, and a mindblowing number of gameplay modes makes this the best Mortal Kombat since the beloved Mortal Kombat II — and the best in the series, period.
Whether or not you'll enjoy Mortal Kombat depends on how you like your fighting. If you loved Mortal Kombat II, this is the ultimate Mortal Kombat experience. If you prefer the Street Fighter style of play, the game won't shine as brightly. That said, NetherRealm Studios deserves praise for breathing new life into the franchise, and making it even more fun (and brutal!) now than it was in the '90s.
Persona 4 Arena
Persona 4 Arena is an unexpected fighter from an unusual source material: A JRPG. Don't let that steer you away. This is a fighter you will want to take the time to learn, and you'll enjoy every second of it. From its simple to grasp, but difficult to master concepts (like the different bursts and counters), to its extremely diverse, interesting and balanced cast, Persona 4 Arena is the new fighting champ.
The fine-tuned mechanics at work here are salient to strategy. Do you use your burst early in the match to extend a punishing combo? Or do you save it and use it as a defensive tool? At first it might seem difficult to grasp, but with enough practice and patience it becomes second nature. Arc System Works has done an amazing job in making Persona 4 Arena an incredibly accessible fighter with a number of in-match indicators. If you're a Persona fan, a fighting fan, or someone genuinely interested in learning a game, do yourself a favor and play this game.
The Pinball Arcade
The Pinball Arcade may not have the smoky environments and greaser element, but it's the best replication of the pinball experience to date. The Pinball Arcade is not only an incredibly addictive title, but an excellent digital archive that captures the tables' essences and the magic of a bygone American staple.
Ball momentum is stellar. It's a joy to watch the ball ping-pong between bumpers, rocket through loops, and bounce off flippers. This is the rare pinball game that will make you forget that you're not playing the real thing. The biggest complement that one can give The Pinball Arcade's four tables – Arabian Nights, Black Hole, Ripley's Believe It Or Not!, and Theatre Magic – is that you can jump right into the flipper action.
Resonance weaves an engaging tale of four diverse characters — a scientist, journalist, detective, and doctor — who attempt to stop a mysterious worldwide catastrophe caused by a recent energy breakthrough. That's the surface. Where Resonance succeeds, as does any quality adventure game, is in story. The protagonists each have their individual story arcs that overlap and eventually bring the four leads together. Resonance excels in capturing the small details, and displays a surprisingly amount of wit.
Resonance is one of the first games to come out of the now-hip Kickstarter movement. If this is any indication of what we can expect from small studios going the crowd-funding method, I'm all aboard that train. Resonance, along with the likes of The Walking Dead, has proven that point-and-click adventure titles have the chops to thrill contemporary gamers.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World : The Game
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is about a Canadian 23-year-old named Scott Pilgrim who, along with his pals Kim Pine, Stephen Stills, and new girlfriend Ramona Flowers, must defeat Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends before Scott can finally date her. A simple premise explained to us, if not by the absolute media overload of the past few weeks, then by the Marvel vs. Capcom 2-style attract demo that plays when the game boots up. Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a classic-style arcade game, calling back to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time, The Simpsons Arcade Game, and other classic brawlers, particularly River City Ransom.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game has a lot of passion and heart, backed up by impeccable art design, rousing Anamanaguchi music and simple and fun arcade brawling that should have you beating up bad guys long into the wee small hours. If you can get by the dopey glitches and friend-having requirements, by all means, take a Warp Pipe, dive into Scott's wacky world and show those evil exes who's boss.
Shank 2
Filled to the brim with decapitations, impalements, severed limbs, and bullet-ridden bodies, Klei Entertainment's follow up to 2010's Shank has more in common with Jon Woo movies than the grindhouse revenge flicks that inspired it. Shank 2 doesn't revolutionize the beat 'em up genre, but its new combo system, deliciously brutal counterattacks, and incredible visual style and animation make it one of the best action-platforming titles on the PC.
Klei Entertainment did a fine job of breaking up the repetitiveness inherent to the genre with non-brawling aspects. The enemies are more varied and feature a nice selection of attacks (though the bosses are simple-patterned as the first Shank). Just when you start to feel the weight of repetition, you're tasked with mowing down baddies with a stationary gun or outrunning a huge boulder, Indy-style. You can interact with objects in the environment, too; shooting a hanging corpse onto an enemy often ends explosively, thus giving you additional options for clearing enemies from areas.
What happens when you take a well-respected fighting game community member and tournament player, and give him the freedom to make his own game? Skullgirls happens. Mike Zaimont (Mike Z) and the folks over at Reverge Labs have created a deep fighter (with an excellent tutorial) that genre fans will dig. Skullgirls follows eight female fighters and their quest to obtain the mystical Skull Heart that allows the possessor to ask for wishes, but at a disturbing cost. Each character's fighting style is unique, yet those accustomed to fighters should find it easy to pick up any cast member.
You can air-dash cancel to continue combos like in the Guilty Gear series, mix and match your teammates like in Marvel Vs. Capcom, and even call in characters for assists. There are also launchers to set up characters for air combos. However, Mike Z and his team worked diligently to remove game-breaking infinite combos — pummelled players can perform one-button infinite breakers that allow them to escape the combo. The system works well and creates fair matches.
That's a wrap. For now. But don't forget to check out the Best 2D Fighting Games X-List!

Find a pet to adopt
My name is Fluffy!
Facts about Fluffy
- Breed: Himalayan
- Color: White
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Long
Fluffy's Info...
I am up to date with shots and good with kids.
Fluffy is a beautiful boy. He is sweet and good with kids.
Other Pets at Tri-County Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Fluffy, a Shippenville Himalayan cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Himalayan for sale in Shippenville, or seeking a Himalayan cat from a breeder in Shippenville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Shippenville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Shippenville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Himalayan breeders who help with Himalayan rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Shippenville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Sony Movie Channel Celebrates Early Films Of Jack Nicholson This February
Jack Nicholson Friday Nights In February " src="http://images.bwwstatic.com/columnpic6/24E3EFC38-AD51-29FF-44AF3CFC54C402E1.jpg" alt="" width="200" align="left" border="0" hspace="10" />

I am very satisfied with these cushions. They are high quality, very comfortable and the colors are vibrant. No complaints.
I need to replace the cushions for our patio furniture again, I do this every couple of years. I've always purchased the one piece that covers the seat & the back. The patio chairs are used more often than any other room in our house. Needless to say the cushions get a lot of wear with frequent parties & guests. I was looking for a lower cost cushion for just the seat as I figured it would be cheaper and suit our needs, I started with just the set of 4 for the seats only. Then I tried one chair with a cushion for the back as well as the seat, it fit perfect and looked great! I immediately ordered 4 more. Very comfortable! So far they clean up well and with ease. I've had great luck with all my Overstock.com purchases!
Love these wonderful cushions. Great size, full, high quality fabric, comfortable & just as nice as I had hoped they would be! I looked at many many cushions on many sites and stores and I am so glad I got these. Great price too!!!!!
Cushions are very comfortable. We purchased wooden chairs for around our fire pit but after sitting for awhile we realized we needed cushioning. These are perfect. They can be used just on the seats or added to the backs as well. They are also attractive. We now toast s'mores in complete comfort.
These cushions are great. I bought the red/yellow striped ones (Haliwell Multi (REO-27)). They are very bright and I liked them even better in person. I goofed up and bought square ones instead of the U-shape ones...but they are still great and I'm keeping them. They are thick and "squash" down a bit, but are still very comfortable. They aren't like some cushions that are "hard". The material is canvas-like. I'd been looking at some in Walmart and other sites and these prices on Overstock are much better and the patterns are much more interesting. I'd definitely buy them again.

Andrew C. Revkin
After nearly 15 years reporting for The New York Times, Andrew C. Revkin left the staff at the end of 2009 to become a senior fellow at Pace University's Pace Academy for Applied Environmental Studies. He continues to write the Dot Earth blog, which has moved from the news side of The Times to the Opinion section.
He reported on the global environment in print and on Dot Earth. He has spent a quarter century covering subjects ranging from Hurricane Katrina and the Asian tsunami to the assault on the Amazon and the troubled relationship of climate science and politics. He has been reporting on the environment for The New York Times since 1995, a job that has taken him to the Arctic three times. In 2003, he became the first Times reporter to file stories and photos from the sea ice around the Pole. He spearheaded a three-part Times series and one-hour documentary in 2005 on the transforming Arctic and another series, "The Climate Divide," on the uneven impacts of climate change.
He has written books on the Amazon rain forest, global warming and the once and future Arctic. Before joining The Times, Mr. Revkin was a senior editor of Discover, a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times, and a senior writer at Science Digest. Mr. Revkin has a biology degree from Brown and a Master's degree in journalism from Columbia. He has taught at Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism and the Bard College Center for Environmental Policy.
He lives in the Hudson River Valley with his wife and two sons. In spare moments, he is a performing songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who occasionally accompanies Pete Seeger at regional shows and plays in a folk-roots band, Uncle Wade.

Neighbours newcomer set to cook up a storm
Promising drama for one of Ramsay Street's male residents, Alin Sumarwata is set to join Neighbours' regular cast as professional chef Vanessa Villante.
It may be tradition for a new year in Ramsay Street to herald even bigger and better drama, and as we look ahead to early 2012 we can also look forward to meeting a fresh face, with news that Sydney actress Alin Sumarwata will be joining the regular cast as professional chef Vanessa Vilante.
Anything but a wallflower, it seems that Vanessa will cook up a storm in more than one sense of the word, embracing life to the full and turning the world on its head for one of Ramsay Street's male residents.
Alin, who together with her husband and their two-month-old daughter Tilda has relocated to Melbourne for the role, says: 'I'm very excited about joining Neighbours. This caps off a busy year for us.'
The Iranian-born actress - who appeared in Sea Patrol, East West 101 and, more recently, Tangle - was instantly drawn to her character's passion for cooking. 'The fact she is always eating mirrors my life,' jokes Alin. 'I adore food!'
Alin filmed her first scene last week and will be seen onscreen in Australia from March, and in the UK later in Spring.

Olympia, Wash., Sept. 1, 2009 — The Department of Revenue will begin issuing reseller permits to businesses this month to stem the loss of an estimated $100 million annually in unpaid state and local sales tax.
The free permits will replace self-issued resale certificates beginning Jan. 1, 2010. Businesses that are not sent a permit, but which are actively reporting to the Department, will receive notification that they may apply for a permit if they think they qualify.
The shift to Department-issued permits is a result of the passage of Senate Bill 6173, which seeks to improve business compliance with tax laws. Under the current system, businesses can buy products without paying sales tax by giving a resale certificate to the seller. The resale certificate declares that the purchaser intends to resell the products and collect and remit sales tax from the end purchaser.
The new law is intended to discourage misuse of the certificates by businesses that buy products for their own use with no intent to resell them. In addition, some businesses mistakenly believe that simply having a business license allows them to buy items for any purpose without paying sales tax.
Under the new system, the Department will issue numbered permits to wholesalers, retailers, manufacturers and qualified contractors that allow them to make wholesale purchases without paying sales tax. The permits are valid for one- to four years, depending on the industry and the length of time the business has been registered with the Department. The permit outlines what types of products cannot be purchased for resale. Special rules apply to contractors and farmers.
Revenue Director Cindi Holmstrom said the Department has been working with stakeholders, including wholesalers, retailers, contractors, and business associations, to ensure a smooth transition to the new system.
"The goal here is to ensure that sales tax is paid when due, and not paid when not due," she said. "We've developed a robust system that will allow us to more closely monitor the use of the reseller exemption while discouraging its misuse."
The Department will automatically mail reseller permits to more than 154,000 qualified businesses. Additionally, more than 40,000 contractors that are likely eligible will be sent a letter encouraging them to apply for a permit by completing an enclosed application. About 286,000 other businesses will not automatically receive permits or applications but can apply if they believe they qualify. All the notifications will be issued by mid-September.
Businesses that do not have a reseller permit after Dec. 31, 2009, must pay sales tax on their purchases. If they do resell the products, they may claim a deduction for sales tax paid on their state excise tax returns or request a refund from the Department.
