TUAW's Daily iPhone App: Tumblr
Tumblr is, of course, the blogging platform that's taken off lately, featuring an easy way to quickly post a lot of different kinds of media, as well as share it across friends and networks. Tumblr's iPhone app has been serviceable since it came out, but it hasn't always been the best option for posting to the service. Still, a 2.0 complete rewrite has helped a little bit, so if you're a Tumblr user who wants to post more while mobile, it's worth another look.
The new update brings a brand new interface to handling multiple blogs, as well as improvements to posting and the main dashboard. You can now read and reply to messages on the service from right in the app, and if you're new to Tumblr, you can sign up right from the iPhone app, too.
The service is free, and so the app is too. Power users will probably still find some issues with the app, which makes sense -- posting blog posts from the iPhone is probably never going to be quite as easy as doing it from a PC. But for those times when you're out and about and want to do a quick Tumblr post, the app should serve you just fine.

|New Living Translation (NLT)
|New International Version (NIV)
|1 So the king and Haman went to Queen Esther's banquet.
|1 So the king and Haman went to dine with Queen Esther,
|2 And while they were drinking wine that day, the king again asked her, "Tell me what you want, Queen Esther. What is your request? I will give it to you, even if it is half the kingdom!"
|2 and as they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again asked, "Queen Esther, what is your petition? It will be given you. What is your request? Even up to half the kingdom, it will be granted."
|3 And so Queen Esther replied, "If Your Majesty is pleased with me and wants to grant my request, my petition is that my life and the lives of my people will be spared.
|3 Then Queen Esther answered, "If I have found favor with you, O king, and if it pleases your majesty, grant me my life--this is my petition. And spare my people--this is my request.
|4 For my people and I have been sold to those who would kill, slaughter, and annihilate us. If we had only been sold as slaves, I could remain quiet, for that would have been a matter too trivial to warrant disturbing the king."
|4 For I and my people have been sold for destruction and slaughter and annihilation. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept quiet, because no such distress would justify disturbing the king. "
|5 "Who would do such a thing?" King Xerxes demanded. "Who would dare touch you?"
|5 King Xerxes asked Queen Esther, "Who is he? Where is the man who has dared to do such a thing?"
|6 Esther replied, "This wicked Haman is our enemy." Haman grew pale with fright before the king and queen.
|6 Esther said, "The adversary and enemy is this vile Haman." Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen.
|7 Then the king jumped to his feet in a rage and went out into the palace garden. But Haman stayed behind to plead for his life with Queen Esther, for he knew that he was doomed.
|7 The king got up in a rage, left his wine and went out into the palace garden. But Haman, realizing that the king had already decided his fate, stayed behind to beg Queen Esther for his life.
|8 In despair he fell on the couch where Queen Esther was reclining, just as the king returned from the palace garden. "Will he even assault the queen right here in the palace, before my very eyes?" the king roared. And as soon as the king spoke, his attendants covered Haman's face, signaling his doom.
|8 Just as the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was reclining. The king exclaimed, "Will he even molest the queen while she is with me in the house?" As soon as the word left the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
|9 Then Harbona, one of the king's eunuchs, said, "Haman has set up a gallows that stands seventy-five feet tall in his own courtyard. He intended to use it to hang Mordecai, the man who saved the king from assassination." "Then hang Haman on it!" the king ordered.
|9 Then Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, said, "A gallows seventy-five feet high stands by Haman's house. He had it made for Mordecai, who spoke up to help the king." The king said, "Hang him on it!"
|10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had set up for Mordecai, and the king's anger was pacified.
|10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the king's fury subsided.

Cat allergies in babies symptoms
Common Questions and Answers about Cat allergies in babies symptoms
So it might be the change in the
your cat's case...my vet said that the tiniest change
their environment can trigger such behavior. Or she might just miss you alot when you are out of town. Do you have a good pet sitter or friend to spend time with her while you are gone? I, too, just put my cat on Venison and Green Pea to rule out any allergy component, although I am pretty sure his is completely behavioral, as he is a pretty sensitive cat anyways. Feliway may or may not work.

Wet foods are better than dry foods simply because of the moisture
the food, helping your
stay UTI free. What brand of dry foods do you feed her? Egg yolk is great! I feed my cats egg yolks. Egg yolk provides B vitamin fresh from the source, and cats do need vitamins. Now, commercial foods are, as far as vitamins and minerals, balanced, so I wouldn't really add the egg yolk because there isn't a lack of it right now. I have to do it because I feed my cats a balanced raw diet.

But, this is a prescription food. How old is your
? Is she indoors 100%? Any other
besides vomiting? How about lethargy, nausea, lack of (or increase in) appetite weight loss, dehydration, limping? The more info you give us, the better it is to assess this issue. But remember, your best choice is to get her to a vet ASAP. In the meantime make sure she drinks plenty of water to prevent dehydration. Congrats on your new baby. Good Luck!

This brings me to the behavioral problems. For the first year this
was the sweetest
ever to everyone except our other
(a small female). He has always bullied the female cat, but it is getting progressively worse. He will attack her and chase her out of the room any time she tries to come out to socialize. He is no longer friendly to anyone but my husband and I. My family just came to visit and he hisses and lunges at them, trying to attack.

I can't see it being just your laundry detergent if its only happening
bed. You wash your clothes
the same detergent and they're
closer contact with your skin. Vacuum your mattress and bedroom as thoroughly as possible daily for a couple of weeks. ( buy a new mattress if you can afford to) buy and use a mattress protector, air the room as much as possible and lastly (youre not going to like this) keep the dogs off the bed.

Hissie. I made a number of posts, as I was beside myself worrying about my kitty. Hissie in late Jan. stopped eating, throwing up a lot, etc. Took her to the vet.

Other than the hairball, Hissie is a healthy cat.

text: This report provides new analyses of the consequences of a lack of insurance within families and the effects on the health of children and pregnant women. In the second chapter, the Committee examines insurance coverage patterns within families, including sources of coverage. The chapter describes the types of families that are most likely to have uninsured members and the characteristics associated with having some or all members uninsured. Chapter 3 considers the key transitions over a family's life cycle that may affect insurance coverage, including aging and changes in employment and marital status. Chapter 4 discusses how family income, assets, and spending patterns affect and are affected by family choices about health insurance and purchases of health care and how being uninsured affects family economic stability. Chapter 5 describes the factors that may influence the health care decisions that parents make for their children, including their own experiences with the health care system. In addition, that chapter discusses the effect of parents' health on the family environment and their children's health. Chapter 6 assesses evidence on health and developmental outcomes associated with health insurance status for children, infants, and pregnant women. The Committee's conclusions are presented in the seventh and final chapter.

Leg coverage for stage diving.
If you're going to be crowd surfing, it's nice to have leg coverage … like the Volcom Women's Stage Dive Trousers, for example. The fairly large leg openings mean you can still get air circulation as you circulate around the concert hall, and low-profile pockets keep these pants from catching on people's large rings and spiky wristbands.

These are really cute, so I thought they'd be ok to wear to work. I usually wear a size 8, so I ordered a 9 in these...too tight to be comfortable. Sent 'em back, tryed an 11, and pretty much drowned in them. I wish these had fit, because I really did like them a whole bunch.
they run small, i kept them for a while thinkin i could make em work but no!! bummer, they're cute but teensy in the waist and low rise so there's no gettin around it.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

It's the third time he's been suspended for biting an opponent.
The U.S. can advance to the knockout stage with a win, a draw, and maybe even a loss.
He could face up to a two-year ban.
Another reason to become a fútbol fan.
It's their first trip to the knockout round.
He's a serial biter.
The agony, the ecstasy, and the man-handling.
On the scene with U.S. fans at Lonestar Bar and Grill and Portugal fans at Pao.
Heads hang across America.
We have the GIFs to prove it.
A lot of players are sexually frustrated.
Re-live the Americans' 2-1 victory in their World Cup opener.
And presented by Gisele.
What you need to know from the best "what you need to know" pieces.
What's sexier than a man without sweaty bangs in his eyes?
Just in time for the wedding.
"We Are One (Olé Ola)."
He will star in a BBC documentary about Brazil.
Mark your calendars.

Satellite Radio Brand Appeal
Immediate Release:
Monday November 9, 2009
Bridge Ratings has been tracking a number of parameters related to consumption and perception of satellite radio since the subscription radio business came on the scene in the early 2000's.
The chart below trends consumer interest in satellite radio. It reflects total actual subscribers (XM and Sirius) back to 2003. It also trends the potential levels of subscriptions based on interviews done each year with consumers who had both subscribed and had expected to subscribe.
In 2003, when the product was new and satellite radio marketing was at its height Bridge Ratings projected a total potential subscription base of more than 50 million subscribers.
Over time while actual subscriptions grew, consumer interest began to soften. Based on new consumer studies during 2009, we expect satellite radio's potential to be about half of that 2003 number.
Actual satellite radio subscriptions have flattened since 2008 coinciding with the merger of XM and Sirius along with the negative fluxuations of the economy.
Product growth is tied to consumer interest and the following chart shows Brand Stimulation Scores for subscription radio by quarter since 2006.
Bridge Ratings' Brand Stimulation Scores are derived by identifying consumer passion about a product or service. Generally, upon introduction of a well-marketed product or service which meets or exceeds consumer expectation and/or need, its Brand Stimulation Score sits at the highest levels of the 10 point scale.
In January of 2006, satellite radio's Brand Stimulation Score was 8.2. Comparatively, Apple's iPhone's BSS was 9.1 at its launch in 2007.
Brand Stimulation Scores closely mirror consumer interest and based on these findings of our on-going analysis of satellite radio, product interest has settled into the 4.0 range which should yield a projected Q4 2009 sales improvement of about one percent or 185,000 subscriptions over the four month period October 2009 thru January 2010.
We do not anticipate a significant recovery or return to the sector's former consumer passion levels at this time based on current economic conditions, subscription costs and product offerings.
In fact, of those satellite radio consumers who have been subscribers two or more years, "Very Satisfactied" scores have fallen from 2005's 63% to 46% in October 2009.
On-going Consumer Study of satellite radio
Sample size: 4252 satellite radio listeners 18+
Consumer markets: Portland, OR, Los Angeles, CA, St. Louis, MO, Dallas, TX, Chicago, IL, Des Moines, IA, Boston, MA, Jacksonville, FL

Guess what? The GOP controls the Libertarian Party and that's why Ron was a Libertarian for all of 6 months. I was a Libertarian at that time, and like many Libertarians, I fought against REPUBLICAN Ron Paul's Libertarian nomination. Gary Johnson is back in the GOP, as is Bob Barr. Wonder who the next Republican =the Libertarian Party will nominate? The Libertarian Party is INFILTRAITED and controlled by the GOP.

BuzzFeed's "Apps for Women" Is Degrating
By Ciara LaVelle
Performing most of the monologues like a skilled stand-up comedian, Pelaez is reminiscent of Whoopi Goldberg and Lily Tomlin in their Broadway outings, with one important difference: Those two comedians crafted their productions to prove they could portray anyone from a child to a man; Pelaez is intent on demonstrating that her characters could be anything were it not for Castro.
Although she often flirts with mounting the soapbox (particularly in the show's pointed ending), Pelaez usually pulls back in time, as when Camilas's grandmother sarcastically calls to another protester: "It only rained in Cuba when we wanted it to." Firing off killer wisecracks and flashing warm smiles, Pelaez puts a sugar coating on the bitter pill of Cuban-American politics. In the hands of this master storyteller, Rum & Coke becomes an evening spent with good friends who regale us with stories that leave us feeling we know more about them, and possibly about ourselves.
As good a storyteller as she is, Pelaez is an even better comedy writer. Much the same way that Neil Simon, Woody Allen, Carl Reiner, and Mel Brooks helped make Middle America accept Jewish culture in the Fifties and Sixties, Pelaez is able to translate the universal humor and specific attitudes of another culture. For example, she offers the following reasons for children born to exiles in the United States to refer to themselves as Cuban Americans. All of her life, Camilas says, she's been living two lives: the one she knows and the life her relatives constantly tell her would have been hers had Castro not come to power and her family not left Cuba. As Iluminada the fortuneteller puts it: "It doesn't matter where the egg was laid, as long as the chicken is Cuban."
This cultural mediator who has both Hispanics and Anglos rolling in the aisles carries a diplomatic portfolio that should please both camps: Pelaez is a Cuban American born and raised in Miami who went on to earn a degree from Manhattan's prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts. After graduating in 1993, she began developing Rum & Coke, which premiered off-off-Broadway in 1996.
After her appearance at Area Stage, Pelaez takes the show back to Manhattan for both Pulse Theatre's Femme Fest and HERE Theatre's One and Only Festival. I predict that another venue, your television screen, will soon follow, because with comedy talent like hers Pelaez is definitely headed places.
Still, much of the credit for the success of Rum & Coke must go to director John Rodaz, who guides the smooth shifts between characters and controls the frequent transitions from comic zingers to dramatic reflections with astute pacing. The result is a satisfying theatrical event that transcends just a great night at a comedy club.
So let the muckamucks in local government rename the region Miami-Dade County. Until Rum & Coke closes on February 1, I'll think of at least a certain strip of local real estate as Carmen Pelaez country.
Rum & Coke.
Written and performed by Carmen Pelaez; directed by John Rodaz. Through February 1. For more information call 673-8002 or see "Calendar Listings.

On 8-1-13 I ordered 3 Sporti Waterproof Cell Phone Cases (as gifts for relatives to use on an upcoming kayaking trip). I had previously ordered and used one very satisfactory for myself. On 8-8-13 a partial order of 2 phone cases was received with invoice stating the 3rd case would be sent by separate order. Kayak trip was yesterday (8-15-13) and I'm still waiting for the 3rd case. Not a happy customer.
It works and the price is right!

I go swimming three times a week, and since I bought this item in late August, I have used it each time I swim, and I enjoy listening to my playlists on my iphone while I swim. It gives me more drive and inspiration. I bought the Sporti waterproof headphones to go with it, and I cut the tips down a cap so that the ear pieces weren't so long. Initially I had some issues with my ears feeling clogged and then pressure. But now I'm fine and I enjoy the work out using my iphone for music very much.
works as described

Handy around the pool. I put it at the end of the lane with my equipment while swimming laps. I haven't used audio. My Samsung Galaxy S fits perfect. Touchscreen works fine but I haven't tried it underwater. Great spend after ruining my other phone.
Good product, no leaks

on 5/11/2013
I was a little leery about putting my phone in the water, but this case works fine. No leaks at all after a few weeks in the water. One thing that could be improved is that you can't use the touchscreen underwater (using an iPhone). I like to look at my workouts in the pool, but its tough to scroll if I'm underwater.
Good med/large dry bag

I am a swim instructor and life guard. I have to have my phone at the pool in case of emergency. I have a Samsung galaxy 2 and it just fits in the case. when you unsnap the top, the dry bag unrolls 3 separate drylock zippers. the triple zip keeps any moisture out of the main pocket.I have had no issues using my touch screen, making calls (being heard/hearing) and texting. It actually works pretty great in that aspect.I have not tried the headphone jack yet.
No water leaks, but....

Most of the time the "touch" feature on my i-pod wouldn't work through the plastic case. Was very disappointed, since I had some incredible shots & videos I could've taken the last 10 days in the Caribbean.
Good product!

Works great. Smells funny though. However, I love listening to music when I swim!
Now I can Catch some Calls While Catching Some Rays

Now I'll never miss another call while I'm in the pool! Also great for our men and women in uniform who have difficulty keeping their cell phones out of sand and dirt.
Changed my whole workout!

Earlier this summer I fractured my sacrum while mountain biking. I found a water running/aqua jogging routine online that allows me to get an aerobic workout without hurting my back (can't swim on my stomach because it arches my back). This item has helped to make my time in pool so much more fun and productive. I workout harder to music. Of, course you have to get the headphones. I am using an older, large iPod with the click wheel because I was little nervous about using my iPhone. There are no worries about it getting wet as evidenced by me using it 4-5 times a week. I would feel completely confidant using my phone, but now I wouldn't change it because I don't want to be bothered by phone calls.Customer service at SwimOutlet.com is excellent!
Cool Case
from Independence, KY
on 9/5/2012
Happy with this case! Wanted to be able to keep my iPhone on pool deck just for emergency phone calls and to check for the time. Case has kept it entirely dry! Excited to try it on the beach. Good, solid product, as long as you follow the directions.

Camp Gladiator founder Ally Davidson?s childhood obsession with the outdoors and sports led her to pursue a degree in exercise physiology. After her 2008 win on the TV show American Gladiators, Ally decided to share her love of fitness with the world at large. Camp Gladiator reflects Ally's passion for fitness in its mission, which espouses their desire "to positively impact the physical fitness and ultimately the lives of as many people as possible." During Camp Gladiator Total Transformation, participants lose weight and gain energy in a friendly, positive environment. Over four-weeks, trainers focus on accountability, competition, motivation, and fun at multiple locations. Results are tracked during fitness assessments, body composition tests, and a fitness calendar, while nutrition counseling helps to maximize those results. Click here to view before and after images.
Davidson also leads boot camps in 13 U.S. cities, with each hosting multiple training locales. The upbeat staff of certified personal trainers lead patrons of all ages and fitness levels through four-week outdoor boot camps, earning Camp Gladiator a Hot Spot title from Women's Health magazine's Fitness Awards in 2013, Best Boot Camp from Rare magazine in 2010, Best of Big D 2010?2013 from D magazine, and Best Outdoor Boot Camp 2012 from Austin Fit magazine.
On the "Our Story" page of Twin Power Yoga's website, owners Ann and Ali express their belief that "by sharing yoga, we share ourselves." They know something about sharing—they're twins, after all, which they believe connects them spiritually as much as it does physically. At their West Palm Beach location, these siblings and their fellow instructors help participants of all experience levels explore their own physical and spiritual relationships to the world around them through Twin Power's style of power yoga. In heated studios with colorful walls and hardwood floors, instructors lead postural sequences that build both strength and cardio conditioning. Between flows, they emphasize meditation, helping practitioners let go of the competitive demands of daily life and pet beagles they already regret teaching to talk. This alternation between highly physical postures and awareness of breath encourages students to listen to their bodies. Classes always end in meditation, giving participants time to sit with whatever feelings their practice awakened.
As skin ages and gets exposed to the elements, it begins to show the effects of time in a completely unique way for each person. Dr. Daniela Dadurian and Dr. Robert Hunter aim to slow down the clock and minimize signs of aging. Joined by a team of nurses, medical aestheticians, and other staff members, the doctors from M.D. Beauty Labs enlist cutting-edge techniques and technologies. Cosmetic laser systems accomplish a wide variety of tasks, such as contouring waistlines, minimizing cellulite, preventing the growth of unwanted stubble, fading tattoos, and even improving skin's overall tone and texture. Similarly, the clinic's medical-grade facials and skincare treatments leave skin looking youthful and radiant, and injectable dermal fillers minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
aerialbodiesinc eschews the crowds, loud music, and sweaty equipment often found in larger gyms for an intimate, boutique studio that conjures a quiet, relaxed setting in which to exercise the mind and body. In the Pilates room, owner Lydie Robsham guides students through core-bolstering moves on Reformer machines that utilize the body weight of the exerciser to sculpt lean muscle, increase flexibility, and improve posture. In addition to a plethora of athletic accomplishments and teaching certifications, Lydie also boasts a license in massage therapy and can work out her clients' kinks with kneading techniques from a dozen different modalities. After a yoga or Pilates class, guests can unwind with coffee or tea.
Certified personal trainer Jared Lopez and his team of instructors work to tone muscles and fire up metabolisms for all fitness levels during their boot-camp program that incorporates plyometrics, kickboxing, functional strength training, and calisthenics to get healthy and safe results. The team of experienced trainers also shows modifications for each exercise in fitness sessions at their new indoor and outdoor 7,000 square foot facility. They change up their routines on a daily basis to prevent clients and their muscles from becoming bored. To cultivate a supportive environment, the instructors motivate students without yelling at them and post success stories of clients who have lost inches and weight.
Fluctuations in stress levels and health often go often hand in hand, and addressing one without the other can mask but not eliminate problems. Knowing this, the staff of licensed massage therapists and aestheticians at Absolute Wellness Spa works to cultivate a tranquil environment in which relaxing treatments address both bodily and mental health at the same time. Those treatments, which include massages, healing acupuncture, and mud wraps, draw on Western medical practices and Eastern philosophy to better approach wellness issues from a variety of angles. In the studio, quiet music plays to relax patrons, and fountains burble softly like a scuba diver trying to tell a secret.

Man on the street: Larger than life
Date: July 15, 2009
by: Maggie Pahos | Observer intern
Question: Should the "Unconditional Surrender" statue remain where it is on the bayfront or should it be moved to a less public space?
Robert and Suzanne Delaney (Chicago, Ill.)
Robert Delaney: "It should stay. Life imitates art. This is based off of a picture of life at the time. This is art. You go to Florence and they have a replica of the David and people consider that art even thought it's a copy."
Suzanne Delaney: "We did our research on this. We asked the woman at our hotel about it after we saw it, and she printed out a picture of it for us and we came back. She actually told us that her friend is a nurse and her future husband is a sailor and this statue and the photograph that it is based off of is going to be the theme of their wedding. They bought a replica of this statue for themselves. I am a nurse, so this statue holds a lot of personal meaning for me."
Andrew and Sarah McGrath (Cincinnati, Ohio)
Sarah McGrath: "It should stay. I'm a nurse and he's a navy guy. We have a huge poster of this photograph at our home when you walk in."
Slavka and Mike Berilazic (Montenegro and Michigan)
"It should stay here. Lots of people stop and it is nice, romantic."
Margaret Rios and Gladys Perez (San Angelo, Texas, and Rochester, N.Y.)
"I think it's a great thing. We lived in Manhattan at the time that it was taken. We used to do that — kiss random people on the street."
Jeffery Prince (Atlanta)
"I think it's pretty cool. I saw it last night when I was driving and came back to see it. I think it's art. It's huge, it's art."
Diane Blanc, with grandsons Clay and Jake Rice (Longboat Key)
Diane Blanc: "This statue is a landmark, it's history. You see five, 10, 15, 20 tourists now when you come by. Before, nobody stopped. We walked over here today because my grandsons had seen it before and they couldn't wait to see it again."
Patti Keehn, with her daughter, Abigail (New York City)
"I think its' great. It takes you back to the old art style of the '50s."

The Cost Per Wear Ratio: TBF's Guide to NOT Going Broke This Fall
Not all bargains are created equal--some are really spending traps in disguise. Calculating the cost per wear of an item before purchasing the piece will easily uncover the true value of an item. The cost per wear formula:
Total cost of the item/ estimated number of days you'll wear it = the cost per wear
For example, if you spend $500 on a great winter coat, wear it about 100 to 150 times per year over the next five years, it'll cost you about $.67 to $1.00 every time you wear the coat. The more you wear the coat, the lower the cost per wear. On the other hand, the trendy top you bought for $20 at your local Old Navy, that you wear only three times before throwing it out, costs you around $6.50 every time you wear it, making it almost SIX times as expensive as the coat.
So what's the moral of this shopping trick? Value, not low prices, should be your focus when budget shopping. Remember, a bargain is only a bargain if you actually wear it.

I love it but....
By Amy in San Fran
from San Francisco
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about BrylaneHome Extra Wide Swivel Office Barstool:
I have just ordered my third stool. The first one lasted 6 months, the second one 3 months but I still bought another one. The thing is I use it all day every day at home. I'm heavy, I have a hard time walking, I use a walker outside but this just zips around the house so easily. If only they didn't fall apart so fast!! The first one, the wheels fell off and couldn't be put back. The last one the seat itself broke off the stem. I would pay a lot to get one of these that lasted a whole year.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Katydid

About Me Budget Shopper
I use the product in my artist studio and home office. Working at canvas or table it is comfortable because of the adjustable height and rotating seat.
Great to wheel around on!
By PZ
from NH
Very good construction. Love that you can adjust the height. Love that you can wheel around smoothly. Handy for many uses. (like rolling around doing chores if you can't walk very well)
Screw holes in the wrong place
By Sam
from Las Vegas, NV
Screw holes in the underside of the seat did not match the holes in the mounting plate included. Should have returned the product, but we needed to use it.Was able to make it work by turning the plate 45º and wrenching down the screws. Still, product is probably not as secure as engineered.
Don't buy
By nikado

Just wanted Brylan homes to send new casters. They wanted me to ship back the entire chair.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By ANN
from TEXAS
Didn't last long
By Tony & Linda
from San Jose, CA
Worked great for a couple of months when it decided to sink to the lowest position every time it is sat on. Have talked with Brylane but they are not very helpful. Have to return the entire stool and have not yet found a box that it will fit in.

Originally written on Celtics 24/7 | Last updated 11/19/14
Rajon Rondo does things on the court many dream of. He will never win a 3-point contest or run a kids basketball camp on how to shoot correctly, but the man is fun to watch. His recent achievements are historic. Rondo has his eye on breaking Magic Johnson'Äôs NBA record for consecutive regular-season games with double-digit assists. Johnson respectively had 46 games in row followed by John Stockton with 37. Rondo is currently at 34. He'Äôs had some close calls including Sunday'Äôs game where barely dished out 10 assists, mostly because of rookie Jared Sullinger and his 4th quarter outburst of 14 points. The Celtics are trying to find themselves and the Eastern conference is still very unpredictable. To check their odds it'Äôs good to use¬ÝNBA betting at Top Bet (click here for more information). But with everything going on even coach Doc Rivers is on board with Rondo chasing the record. Here is his quote from ESPN: 'ÄúWhy not? You guys keep talking about it, so I figured I'Äôd give him a shot at it,'Äù Rivers said of intentionally gunning to extend Rondo'Äôs streak. 'ÄúIt'Äôs funny, the harder they tried, the worse we got at that. What did it come down to 'Äî what, 50 seconds or something? Jared made two jumpers. I think Jared gave him it, so that was good. When I called the timeout I said, 'ÄòGuys, we'Äôre going to lose the game, by the way. Let'Äôs not play crazy, but if we can get him two more, let'Äôs do it. If not, that'Äôs it.'Äô First time we'Äôve done that.'Äù Will he break the streak? it'Äôs going to be close? But whether he does or not the important thing is the Celtics start to find their groove and put together a few win streaks. If he does indeed break the record it definitely won'Äôt hurt his chances of moving up in the MVP race for this season. ¬Ý

Remember the digital National Debt Clock? Now we've got an online Transportation Gridlock Clock, thanks to the American Road and Transportation Builders Association. It's right on the home page of the association's Web site.
The gridlock clock tells us just how long it's been since the last multi-year surface transportation funding bill expired — as of Jan. 13, 834 days. The clock goes farther than that, counting down the hours, minutes and seconds since SAFETEA-LU.
Since that law expired Sept. 30, 2009, federal highway and transit programs have operated under eight extensions. The current extension expires March 31, and a new multi-year highway bill is still many seconds, minutes, hours and days away.
Perhaps ARTBA's clock should be called the Congressional Gridlock Clock, as Congress is the crux point in the debate over infrastructure funding. Of course, a Congressional GridlockClock would have to be reset to include decades, not just years or days.
We're at the point where even long-time proponents of increased infrastructure spending such as U.S.Chamber of Commerce President Thomas J. Donohue would accept the 2005 spending levels of SAFETEA-LU — about $48 billion a year.
On Thursday, Donohue said Congress should pass a long-term bill that mirrors the six-year SAFETEA-LU, rather than even more stripped-down transportation spending measures proposed by some members of the House and Senate.
If you're tired of waiting for a new bill, ARTBA includes a toll-free hot-line number that you can call to urge your representatives and senators to pass new legislation — 888-448-2782. In the meantime, the gridlock clock and the debt clock will keep right on ticking.

Where did Romney go wrong?
Mitt Romney's campaign "never caught fire" because he's a "technocrat," said The Wall Street Journal. Americans like businessmen as candidates, but they don't find them inspiring enough to elect them. Actually, evangelical Christians s
What happened
Mitt Romney ended his presidential campaign after carefully calculating that John McCain had collected so many delegates on Super Tuesday that he had an insurmountable lead. (The Washington Post, free registration) Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, had staked his bid on building a viable, nationwide coalition of conservative supporters, but the conservative vote was split between him and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee. (The Boston Globe, free registration)
What the commentators said
Romney, a former consultant and entrepreneur, did Republicans a favor by forcing McCain to "speak more clearly about the economy," said The Wall Street Journal in an editorial. But he's a "technocrat," and that's one reason "his campaign never caught fire." Americans like "a businessman candidate, but they don't find them inspiring, so "rarely do they elect one as president."
If you're looking for a reason for Romney's failure, said Timothy Egan in The New York Times' Outposts blog, "blame Christians." Romney is a Mormon, and "by significant margins, in poll after poll, in vote after vote a solid block of evangelical Christians said they would never vote for a Mormon." Evangelicals cast nearly half of the Republican primary votes in some states, so "Romney was up against a deep well of distrust of a religion that many evangelicals still label a cult."
The thing that killed Romney's chances was that "he flip-flopped too much," said USA Today in an editorial. "Voters don't want mindless consistency in the face of changing reality, but they expect reasonable constancy on core values. At various points in his Massachusetts political career, Romney backed abortion rights, gun control and gay rights—none of which he did in his presidential campaign."
The irony is that if Romney had just mustered the courage to be himself, he might have won, said The Boston Globe in an editorial (free registration). The man Massachusetts elected as governor in 2002 was a "smart, data-driven, can-do executive who wouldn't let ideology get in the way of pragmatic solutions"—just the kind of leader we need when the economy falters. But when Romney became a presidential candidate he "shed his pinstripes and donned a Tarzan suit, thumping his chest about immigration, gun control, morality, and religion. The new suit never quite fit, and the voters knew it."
