Mr. Knipe, who is married to Ms. Randall, said many Web sites were taken down as a result of more specific legal threats by subpoena to Internet service providers. But even then, ''it was extremely doubtful that any of this activity had any effect at all in the real world of improving our sales by restricting piracy,'' he said.
MARK ISHIKAWA, the chief executive of BayTSP, disputes that. He said his company worked for Mr. Knipe almost four years ago, before the threat of lawsuits became common enough to present a real danger to downloaders. ''He would have a much different effect today,'' he said of Mr. Knipe.
In general, Mr. Ishikawa said, pornography businesses have not been a good market for his services, which can cost from $10,000 to $50,000 a month, depending on the volume of work. ''Nobody wanted to spend the money,'' he said. It was just as well, he said: ''We don't want to be known in the porn space.''
Many of the businesses, however, are trying various techniques to make paying customers out of people who take their content. Titan Media, a provider of gay pornography, says it tracks down people who violate its copyright and, as an alternative to a lawsuit, offers amnesty if the infringer becomes a subscriber. Identities are not easy to find in the virtual world, and the company must track the infringement through Internet service providers, who are often reluctant to reveal the names of their customers.
So Titan does what many copyright holders do: it sends infringement notices to the service providers, asking them either to remove the offending material or to pass along the notice to the customer. Titan initially tried to unmask infringers by using the same controversial provisions of copyright law used by the music industry to track down file sharers: a streamlined system of subpoenas that do not require a judge's approval. Titan backed away from the tactic when it prompted privacy protests; a federal court has since ruled that the music industry cannot use those subpoenas against peer-to-peer file traders.
Wendy Seltzer, an advocate for online civil liberties, says the Titan approach may point the way for other industries to enforce their copyrights. Ms. Seltzer, a staff attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a high-tech policy group that has fought the record industry over copyright issues, acknowledged that the amnesty offer ''sounds a little extortionate when they say it, perhaps.'' But she said it was ''a much more sensible approach'' than the music industry's litigation strategy. ''People always want this stuff,'' she said, referring to pornography. ''Seeing some of it just whets their appetite for more. Once they get through what's available for free, they'll move into the paid services.''
Gill Sperlein, general counsel for Titan, said his company must be tough in combating file-sharing networks because of the nature of the content. ''When we're trying to maintain control of our product, it's not just to protect our financial interest but also our moral obligation to keep it out of the hands of minors,'' he said. Once an image or movie has been taken from his site, the company's elaborate precautions to ensure that minors cannot gain access to the material through the site are defeated. ''We are very careful about who we sell our products to,'' he said.
Companies are finding that free images can be a selling point, and not just a problem. Playboy pays Webmasters $25 or more for every subscription they funnel to Playboy.com and provides sales and marketing tools to help make the free Web sites more effective. Mr. Nicolau of Playboy.com said that the subscription business grew 74 percent in 2002 and that the company's revenue growth in 2003 was expected to be as much as 60 percent.
Mr. Hymes of AVNOnline said that the salvation for the industry would come not from laws or lawsuits as much as from bits and bytes. ''Technology is going to solve the problem that technology has created,'' he said. ''The people in this space are seeing it as an opportunity to change habits and to create new opportunities.''
Mr. Sperlein said Titan Media had experimented with software that would require people who download a video clip to return to the Titan site to unlock it and view it, but that this process was too intrusive. So, he said, the company is coming to realize that ''the key is to make a product available that's reasonably priced and reasonably easy to obtain.''
''We're kind of at the beginning stages of that,'' he added.
Others in the industry are using bare-knuckled legal tactics, but they are suing other companies, not individuals. An emerging industry of lawyers and self-appointed Internet monitors is feeding off provisions in copyright law that allow automatic damages when infringement is proved in court. Groups like the Association for the Protection of Internet Copyright, which works mainly for pornography-related businesses, scour the Internet for signs of copyright infringement that they can present to the original owners of the material. They then collect a bounty from a portion of the settlement or statutory penalties, which can reach as much as $150,000 an infringement.

"I'm a last minute kind of girl and needed my invitations for my wedding in June, FAST! I was shocked that an editor responded back with my changes and had my invites shipped right away. I love the quality of the cards and they look so beautiful. I will definitely order from them again!"
"The pictures of this product online are very accurate. The only thing I thought I would like to change would be to change the paper from the standard white to the Pearl Shimmer White, but the invitations are beautiful and I think the kind of paper that it is on is something only I will notice they still look beautiful on the plain white. Beautiful and elegant!!"
"This card is so pretty.. I actually ordered it in white and it's just a classic and elegant look! I changed the fonts a little to fit my style better, I just love it and can't wait to send them out. In person the font and writing size is more clear!"
"Wedding Paper Divas is a fantastic company! I ordered my wedding invitations from them and they look amazing!! They were delivered fast, they actually arrived before the expected date and were packaged very professionally. They have a designer look over everything before they're printed and they tell you if any corrections need to be made. I would definitely recommend Wedding Paper Divas to anyone looking for quality products at an affordable price."
"My daughter loves these wedding invites in blush. They arrived today and the design team did a great job centering everything on the card. Again, just as the tea party invitations, I feel the smaller font is hard to read. These cards are keepsake quality. Thanks again for another awesome product. The back is pretty too."

The world around us is full of chaos, violence and destruction. The situation in the Middle East should have every American concerned about the clear and present danger that could ignite at any moment.
While it is a prudent measure to keep a watchful eye on that particular region, let us not forget to turn an appreciative gaze upon what often times is overlooked right here in our own backyard.
Week 4 of the high school football season was the first clear week from the rain and lightning. After Hurricane Isaac dropped many inches of rain in Week 1 and carried over into Weeks 2 and 3, many games were canceled or called early throughout the state. As for last week, the Saline County area teams did not fare too well. Bryant beat Benton for the seventh straight time in Salt Bowl XIII, 55-21. Glen Rose won big over Harmony Grove, 48-21 and Bauxite and Sheridan fell in their conference openers. The loss for Bauxite marked the 13th straight, dating back to last season.

In places like New York City and Chicago its all about control. Both cities have been controlled by powerful political machines for decades. The rich, famous and politically connected are taken care of: No one else really matters. Folks in New York City get one story, Bloombergs story-straight from the jackasses mouth. In what other major city does the mayor take time to rail against an otherwise law abiding lady who was arrested for carrying a gun? Did Bloomberg add the cocaine thing for effect? i think he lied.
BTW: It bugs the hell out of me that Oklahoma politicians passed a law allowing the politically connected from anti-self defense bastions like NY City to carry concealed here.
I really doubt it very much if LE in the State of Tennessee will follow this issue very closely. It seems that it is once again the politicians that are generating the problems for all of us good people. Why SOME AMERICANS continue to vote for the idiots in NY never seems to amaze me! Although they also voted for Obama in 2008? So I guess it comes down to one word!
If they manage to get elected next round they are vigouosly coming after our second amendment rights! You can bet on it!
The Constitution is not an instrument for the Government to restrain the people. It is an instrument for the people to restrain the Government!
*Patrick Henry
Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
-- John F. Kennedy
Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, or to do the wrong thing for the right reason? If you do the wrong thing for the right reason, is it still the wrong thing?
Si vis pacem para bellum.
There are two ways of doing something. Right and again.
If you can't be good, be great at it.

WISCONSIN SPORTS ROUNDUP: Braves defeat Milwaukee thanks to ninth-inning rally
A ninth-inning rally gave the Atlanta Braves a 3-to-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers last night at Turner Field. Andrelton Simmons broke a tie game with a single to right center with two-on and two-out. Justin Upton scored, as the Braves earned their 24th walk-off victory, second-best in the National League. Donovan Hand took the loss, falling to 0-and-5. Tyler Thornburg had his seventh consecutive strong start for the Crew. He struck out eight in a career-high seven innings.

I got bored so...
I was so tired of quilting my never-ending tablerunner and my pineapple quilt that I took a little break. Last year when I made my Christmas tree skirt, I had a lot of neutral strips left over, so I decided to make a tablerunner. Here it is. Of course, now I have to quilt it. And, I still have a bunch of neutral strips.
I cut so many strips for the Christmas tree skirt (following the directions), and I bet I had almost as many left as I used. On the next page were the directions for a tablerunner. They started out by saying, "If you've made the Christmas tree skirt, you have enough strips left over for the tablerunner." Why they had me cut so many strips I don't know. Anyway, there was a pattern for the tablerunner, but it said you could use any 10" block. I went looking on-line for something that looked like a pointsettia, and I found this block called Christmas Star. It was a 12" block, so the runner got a little bigger. The strips are just twelve neutrals cut in widths of 1.5", 2" and 2.5". They are really easy to assemble - kind of like half a log cabin. You just keet adding strips to your blocks until you get the length you want on the outside edge. Then you cut the strips to that length and sew the two halves together. Border with a 3" border. I think this would be fun done in shades of red and green too.
That is very pretty! Thx for the directions too!
Christmas will be very pretty at your house with both the Table runner and Tree Skirt!
Have fun!
Your table runner is lovely.

Outlook 2012: Apparel — Center Court Stars
For 2012, fashion continues to shine as apparel makers use fabrications that are stylish and comfortable.
If you think racquet and shoe technology has advanced, clothing has certainly caught up in many technical ways. Apparel manufacturers are in a race to see who has the best form of moisture-wicking, fabrication longevity and comfort, anti-microbial protection and UV shielding.
Color knows no bounds, either. Stand-out greens, vivid oranges, bold purples, sea blues and vestiges of bright pink fill the fashion horizon. All these technical features are complimented by lots of fashionable looks for the court and beyond.
tailactivewear.com • 305-638-2650
Tail continues the color trend with eye-popping brights and classic color combos and styles. These combinations for Fall pair black with a splash of red for color blocking and contrast. Featured in performance mesh and jersey in 13.5-inch lengths that are short but dignified, they're both comfortable and breathable.
Eliza Audley
elizaaudley.com • 262-691-4770
Eliza Audley's couture style continues its bold color-blocking with one of the hot color combinations of the year going into Fall: a sharp orange and pink on black in an updated Pucci-like pattern. Made of 90 percent micropoly and 10 percent spandex, it's an ultra-fashionable, comfortable approach to net play.
bolletenniswear.com • 301-362-0360
Bolle's sharp Summer "High Voltage" look in graphite gray and white is accented in lime and pink. The fabric is a comfortable 92/8 polyester/spandex with wicking. The outfit on the left is a scoop-neck tank with a built-in bra. For those who wish to wear their own sports bra, the cap sleeve V-neck top is a perfect choice. Both skirts have internal shorts attached.
fila.com • 410-773-3000
Fila sheds some light on what you'll see its players wearing at the US Open in 2012. The men's Collezione embossed crew neck top is a poly interlock and stretch micro-mesh with classic F box embroidered logo. The shirt features a curved hem and drop tail with mesh inserts at the side and under the arms for breathability, in Lava trimmed in an earthy Ombre tone. The Collezione pant finishes off this sophisticated pairing.

Greetings in the Year 2015! May this be a year of good health, great friendships, creative endeavors, and beautiful quilts. Are you ready to register one or more of your quilts for the World of Quilts XXXVI? Registration opens on January 15th. Many thanks to Tamar Drucker who led us through her quiltmaking journey and showed us some of her beautiful creations. Now we just have to wait for her next amazing quilt. The Nominating Committee, preparing the slate of officers for election this spring, will begin its work on January 6th. Please send your recommendations for the offices of President, Secretary, Treasurer, VP Programs, VP Membership, and VP Communications to Judy Gignesi, Barbara Sferra, Patricia Loquet, Yvonne Clayton, or Caryl Castellion. You will be receiving a "Letter from the President" regarding the 2016 Quilt Show venue shortly. We look forward to presenting the figures at the January guild meeting, once again in the auditorium, so that all may see and hear the presentation. In the meantime, have fun working on your Challenge Quilts (due at the January meeting) and your lovely creations for the Quilt Show!
Caryl Castellion, President
Spring Programs: MARCH: Lecture: March 17 – Michelle Scott "Every Quilt Tells a Story" With her trademark humor, high energy and "done is better than perfect" attitude, Michelle takes you on a journey through her 20 years of quilting. From her very first project to the latest award winning and book quilts, she shares the hilarious mishaps and missteps that shaped her into the quilt professional she is now. This lecture is a crowd pleaser for all, as a multitude of topics is covered while she passes around (yes, you can touch them!) over 70 quilts. From machine and bobbin quilting to designing for magazines to getting your work published, this lecture is the ultimate compilation of her three lectures. Workshop: March 18 Usin' Fusin' (and other cool stuff) to Express Yourself! $50 Using fusing, seamless piecing and decorator threads and yarns, you will create a small art quilt designed by you. Raw edge applique with fusible web, machine quilting and embellishment will express something important to you: a feeling, a person, a garden, the beach. The doors of creativity will open in this fast and fun class as we investigate free form cutting to build collage-type artworks that express YOU! Additional focus will be placed on color and line that can translate your feeling. APRIL: Lecture: April 21 – Nora McMeeking "Bella Bella Patchwork" Nora is the author of "Bella Bella Quilts" and "More Bella Bella Quilts". She will walk us through her process in recreating the fabulous marble floors of Italy. Workshop: April 22 Cosmati Rings 1 $50 This workshop introduces ring foundation piecing using two easy "blocks". The center roundel can be a compass, plain fabric or an applique design (those variations are available for the class) making this a very versatile pattern. Easy methods for making multiple foundations for the pieced border are included. Construction for the curved corner sections is readily accomplished using a few clever tricks and the large curves are easily machine pieced. Beginners can make this quilt!
JoAnne Finnigan, VP Programs
January Program:
Getting to Know You
Getting to Know You This is a chance to get to know other members of the guild…..think of it as speed dating to find new quilting friends! You may bring business or post cards with your information & or pictures of your work to share with your new friends at each table. (Vistaprint.com is a great source) Make a list of things you would like to share about yourself such as: What type of quilting do you like to do? Do you create any other type of art? Where do you create? Do you quilt with others or alone? How long have you been quilting? How did you discover you liked quilting? What do you like to do when you are not quilting? Do you have any other hobbies or jobs? Where do you live or work?
February Program:
Learn Something New
Guild members will explain new techniques learned in the last year, hopefully something for everyone's interests. The following members have volunteered to do a demo:

Quilt Registration will begin on January 15, 2015. Registration Rules and Instructions are now available on the NSQG website and the registration form will be there on the 15th. We strongly encourage you to register your quilts online. Just click on "Show Your Quilt in 2015″ under the Quilt Show tab on our website to read this information. Remember, if your quilt is wider than 92" it will need to be hung on the bleacher wall to lie flat. Additionally, since bleacher space is limited, we can only guarantee this space to the first 6 wide quilts that are registered.
Carolynn Young, Chair of Volunteers, will have volunteer sign-up sheets available at the January meeting. Sign up early in order to secure your favorite volunteer spot! Sometimes, the jobs that take more than the required three volunteer hours are a lot more fun and give you a much better opportunity to get to know fellow guild members.
It is not too early to hand in your small quilts for the Silent Auction. Carolyn Langevin or Kay Marcarello will be on hand to collect them at the January meeting. Check the website under "Quilt Show" for details and a few pictures of this year's submissions.

Donna Chambers will present a Member Showcase at January the meeting.
Please join me in welcoming Donna Chambers this month at the member showcase.
Donna joined the guild three years ago after beginning to quilt in 2008. She brings to her quilting her creative talent as a goldsmith by trade. Donna gravitates toward Art Quilting where she showcases her love of color and texture. Her very first quilt was a Log Cabin and she also enjoys the piecing process. Pinterest provides Donna with plenty of inspiration. For those of you who don't know, Pinterest hosts an array of art, color, quilts, fabrics, photographs, texture, and fashion, all of which grabs her attention.
When I asked Donna what quilting has brought to her life, she said, "It has brought a new type of creativity, the type of intensity I like, and a new community of sharing and like-minded friends."
In the short time she has been quilting, Donna has had that amazing-moment-in- my-life feeling when her works won three ribbons, which included Best of Show in Wall Quilts at the NSQG 2014 quilt show.
I am so pleased to share her talents with all of you and hope to see you all at the January Meeting! Please welcome your newest member Brenna R. There were 74 members who attended the December meeting.

Remembering a former Guild Member Sondra Shapiro died December 11 following complications from back surgery that she had in late October. Sondra was an early member of the Guild and belonged for about 20 years, until her health problems prevented her from attending meetings. She always had a wisecrack or joke on her lips and a smile on her face and a determination to make everyone else laugh. She struggled with illnesses most of her life and, in the last few years constant pain, but none of this curbed her sense of humor nor her genuine concern for others. She was a true friend. Her quilts were beautiful and she continued working on them until her hands shook too much; she said that she refused to make quilts that weren't up to her standards, that she would rather look at the ones that she had made before, the ones that filled her with pride. Until the end, she was a devoted and loving friend who will be missed by those of us who had the great luck to have known her.

Lancaster Trip – Hold the Date March 13-14, 2015 We are mixing it up again this year! After speaking with a group of our Lancaster trip veterans and visiting Lancaster to scout out the shops back in October, we have decided to change our Friday shopping itinerary. This year, our first stop will be Burkholder's Fabrics. Burkholder's is a favorite for most of the ladies from past trips. Our next stop will be Weaver's Dry Goods. The Lancaster trip may have included Weaver's in the past – the store has been renovated and now includes a bargain basement with good quality fabrics ranging from $1.99 – $3.99 a yard. The town of Intercourse will be our third stop on Friday. We plan to arrive in Intercourse around 4 PM to give everyone the opportunity to visit some of the shops that close at 5 PM. The Country Store has reopened under new management and looks better than ever! For those missing Sauders, Zooks Dry Goods is their sister store located across the street from the Country Store and carries almost all of the same fabrics as Sauders. This year, the trip will be March 13-14. Don't forget to sing up at the January meeting. A check for $160 will reserve your place. We hope you will join us!

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Recreational pot is now on sale in Washington state, but actually getting that pot required some patience Tuesday for residents not only of neighboring Oregon but southwest Washington as well.
Legal pot now a short drive for many Oregonians
Freedom Market in Kelso, Washington — 45 miles north of Portland — was scheduled to begin sales at noon Tuesday, but the pot delivery scheduled for late morning got delayed, and then delayed some more.
Owner Kathleen Nelson said she offered water and pizza to the 50 to 60 dedicated customers who waited into the evening.
"The truck arrived! Yeah!" Nelson said after the shipment finally rolled in about 8:30 p.m. Then store workers scrambled to sort the 19 strains and stock the shelves so the first customers could make their purchases.
Did she ever consider canceling Tuesday's effort and waiting a day?
"We are not missing this date!" she declared. Nelson estimated the initial supply might sell out Tuesday night, but she planned to replenish her stock and have more available on Thursday.
Nelson estimated about 100 people had come to the store by noon, and the license plates were split about 50-50 between Oregon and Washington.
The closest legal pot shop to Portland opens Wednesday, just across the Columbia River in Vancouver, Washington.
Law enforcement officials say there's nothing stopping Oregonians from buying pot in Washington. But the law bans them from bringing the marijuana back with them for use in their home state.
Also, authorities say Oregonians who drive home stoned could get busted, just like a drunken driver.

I have two Acers, one large green and one small purple.
The green one was fine but the purple one had severe dieback of buds. Its popping leaves from a few healthy buds and growing new buds along the stems, so I guess you are not alone
I don't chop when it goes in, but after a while and a few good stirs, I will set the garden sheers to it. Works a treat but it's hard work on the arms.
I've got the Spring green ones in my courtyard area. Looking gorgeous
From personal experience...
Raspberries are extremely invasive so be warned. They set deep tap roots for anchorage and shallow rooted runners that sprout new shouts all the way along.
It's nigh on impossible to contain Raspberries and they will come up anywhere and everywhere, growing twenty feet from the parent plant with no distinction between lawn, paving or the neighbour's lawn!
So, what to do about this?
Some gardeners mow the grass verges where Raspberries grow whilst others sink concrete slabs, neither of which deters the runners, only maintains an appearance.
I must say, this does annoy me about gardener's world, when they show and tell you what to do with raspberries but never breath a word about their vigour.
In the Elizabethan days, Raspberries were the woodland bramble and Blackberries were the fruit of cultivation. How things have changed but at least Blackberries can be contained since they root from their tips, not by stealth underground.
Personally, I dug all mine out after three years of ignorance that saw one single plant turn into a forest and I still have the odd rouge sprout that needs hacking back.
I would only grow Raspberries in pots if I chose to love these thugs again. Good Luck with yours.
No accounting for taste. Personally, Monty (and Nigel) can't put a foot wrong.
My first last week on my Ceanothus, interestingly enough, I had discarded a pile of compost under the Ceanothus that had been used to pot my lilies.It had a few rotten lily scales in it.
I stopped using Provado for the reasons above. I use nematodes during warmer seasons and hand pick Lilly beetles. Delicate plants such as hostas get piles of grit.
I do use slug pellets sparingly.
I wish I didn't have to, but my garden doesn't have frogs, toads, chickens or hedgehogs and I've never been one for rummaging around in muddy borders after dark on hands and knees. I think that business suits urban gardens better or perhaps those like Carol Klein's that have organised borders set between many accessible paths.
I've tried other organic solutions to pests with mixed results. I made some garlic spray but the liquid just rolls off the leaves, even when applied with a fine mister, so I'm not sure how to keep the pongy water where its' supposed to stay.
I think my garden does alright, I have nesting birds and bees as most of us do
wow to Oakley Witch, Busy-Lizzie and dannyboy10.
You lot have been busy!
depends on soil temperatures and how long they've been in the ground to rot.
I would suggest that you sow an insurance crop in case the first don't show, but perhaps do it in a tray to get them well started by which time the warmer weather will be rolling in proper and you will also see the results of your first sowing, or not.

LG Dryer DLG7188RM question
Hi there,
I'm new to this forum and was hoping I can get some guidance on the dryer I purchased a few months ago.
First....Just a little story as to why you never leave your dryer running if you aren't home....When we bought our condo, it had the original washer & dryer which was probably about 18 yrs old. I was waiting for the day one or the other would break down. The dryer drum would only turn off when you manually turned it to 'OFF', otherwise the drum was always on even if the door was open. The button to tell it to go off when the door was open was broken. Not very safe, I know, but I got used to it and got quite good at grabbing the spinning clothes if I didn't feel like turing it off. One day I am taking a load out of the dryer and right after it was empty I was putting in a load of sheets to dry... As I go to leave the room, I notice the dryer starts smoking from underneath. At first I wasn't sure what I was seeing. I then realize it's the dryer, so I quickly turn it off. I see a little more smoke before it subsides. Surely it could of lead to a fire if I wasn't standing there to stop it. Please be careful if you have an older dryer becuase these things really DO happen....
This was my excuse to get my very first new appliance ever. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. I ended up getting the LG Cherry Red Model# DLG7188RM. I had ordered a T/L dryer, Kennmore I think, but canceled it after re measuring the width of our space. The new dryer wouldn't fit with the matching washer which I would be getting after our wedding. Wedding came and went and the matching washer is coming tomorrow (LG model# WM2487HRM)
Anyone have this dryer? I am having trouble drying certain items. I have a honeycomb design blanket. I put it in on the Heavy Duty selection and I increase the dry time to the max. The dryer will turn off before it's even half dry. I turn it on again and it does the same thing with quitting before it's dry. Am I doing something wrong with how I am selecting the setting or is something else wrong? This happens with other items too, but it's more apparent with the heavier items. I am beginning to wonder if the sensor isn't working, or is it user error....?
I appreciate any help with this. Thanks

This chair is space-saving, modern, understated, but elegant. It has a hard feel to it when one sits; however, it will suffice for decorative purposes. If you are looking for a chair to sit back and recline a little, this chair is not the choice. But if you are looking for rich dk. brown leather chair for decorative accent without paying outrageous prices from furniture stores, this chair is the choice. Not a chair for watching TV or for physical comfort while reading. More for sitting down while having a conversation with from someone in the room, or for waiting. Appropriate chair for an open space concept.
I ordered one chair hoping it would be a tad more soft and comfortable but after sitting in it for a few weeks I got used to it and ordered another one. It's not a sink in to and relax chair but is nice looking, easy to clean, versatile, light and easy tom ove to other locations and with an ottoman suits my purpose. For the money it is a good quality all round decent chair.
I received this chair only a few days after I purchased it and it arrived without any problems. Like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, the chair is not "soft" - it's pretty firm (not hard), but it's still comfortable and that is what I was looking for. The chair comes in two parts - the base and the back and they include 4 bolts and a wrench (a real one!) to put the two pieces together. It did take me quite a while to get all the bolts screwed in and I recommend starting them while the chair is on it's back, then flipping it to its side for the bulk of the work.. once I did that it went a lot better. If I had a ratchet wrench, it would have been much easier, but it was more time consuming than hard. Once it's together it's sturdy and looks great.
I bought two of these chairs and liked them so much that I bought a third for another room. The chairs are low profile with firm support and the leather looks high-end. Assembly was a breeze - four bolts attach the back to the seat and that's it! The manufacturer even provides rubber stick-on pads for the chair legs to avoid scratching wood floors. Overall, a good chair for the price.
I just finished putting the chair together. Just 4 long bolts to attach the back of the chair to it's frame. It took a little time, but less than a half hour, because the bolts are a little hard to screw in, but overall not bad at all. The chair looks great! Looks much more expensive than it was. It has a nicely stiched seam down the center of the back, which adds to the overall appearance. The seat is large enough for a big person and is comfortable. It sits about 16" from the floor. I would definately recommend this chair. You won't be disappointed.
The entire frame of the chair was misaligned and it appeared to be damaged. I returned it, but will think twice about buying such a chair when it's deeply discounted.
This chair is a marriage saver!!!! We needed a smaller sized chair for our bedroom. This chair is comfortable and of very good quality. Now my husband has something to sit on in the morning while putting on his shoes and socks instead of the end of the bed where I would be shaken awake (every morning).
We bought this chair for our son's bedroom. It's the perfect size and it's not too bulky. It's nice to have the extra seating for his friends when they hang out. The leather is of good quality and it looks really nice! The chair a little firm right now, but I'm sure it will soften with use. We are very happy with this purchase!
We just received this chair today, actually ordered two for a casual bonus room in my home. I was concerned about getting them down stairs ,but that was not bad. The real problem was getting the four bolts that attach the back to the bottom of the chair installed. The holes with the threaded hardware for the bolts do not line up well. After a couple of hours and a lot of stress, we were finally able to get all four in one chair and three in the other. We used a ratchet wrench and tried several approaches. The chairs are very solid, even the one missing a bolt. I am not sorry I bought them, just wish it had been easier to assemble them. If you decide to purchase them, just be prepared for the same problem.
Very nice chair - you can't beat it for the price. It's the perfect accent for my sitting room. I put my own throw pillow on it and it really dresses it up!

The defining question for any CIO today is whether they allow their employees to access the latest, greatest hits of Web 2.0
Chris Bronk is a research fellow at Rice University's Baker Institute
for Public Policy and an adjunct instructor of computer science at
Rice. He previously served as a Foreign Service Officer and was
assigned to the State Department's Office of eDiplomacy.
The question I am hearing again and again from chief information officers inside and outside government lately is, "Do we need to do this anymore?"
One of the more vexing issues that the emergence of cloud computing and social media created is understanding how they will replace traditional information technologies that have been around for a decade or more. For instance: Is it time to switch to virtual storage? Can we let someone else host e-mail? The list goes on and on.
These can be hard questions, but they center on whether agencies can shut off some servers on their premises and flip on others somewhere else. But what of the opposite — bringing services out of the cloud and inside the organization? While the dust is still settling at the Pentagon about whether military personnel can access Facebook, send tweets via Twitter or watch YouTube videos at work, the defining question for any CIO today is whether to allow employees to access the latest, greatest hits of Web 2.0 from work computers. Some deny access and some don't.
The prohibitions probably won't last. Enlightened organizations have already embraced internal- and external-facing blogs, wikis and other participatory Web technologies. At the Homeland Security Department, Secretary Janet Napolitano has her subalterns posting on The Blog@Homeland Security and participating in dialogue about border issues on ning.com. DHS has evolved from doing public relations to full-blown civic engagement. Ideas are flowing in and out of the agency. This is exactly the sort of thing that federal CIO Vivek Kundra has been asking for: a window into government for citizens.
But what about the "F" word — Facebook? DHS isn't on it, but the FBI, Navy and State Department have posted official fan pages. Many employees throughout government have personal pages on Facebook, including more than half of the members of my State Department A-100 orientation course. Facebook does what it does — connect people — very well. But the content belongs to Facebook, not its users or the U.S. government, and that makes people nervous. So government agencies are left to wonder whether to construct in-house social networks. The discussions on how to build them are almost as funny as watching Liz Lemon and Jack Donaghy trying to make sense of YouFace on "30 Rock."
Just tromping out and building an internal social media site for every agency isn't a good bet — and it's wasteful. Why? The technology of social networking is evolving at frightening speed. Awkward proof: the intelligence community's unacknowledged social media tool holds the painfully retro title A-Space. Question: Is anybody still logging on to MySpace? Although social networking for the intell people needs to be bunkered away in the classified domain, what about everybody else? Does every agency need to build its own FaceSpace?
My answer is: probably not. But if you do, you'd better have a reason slightly better than "it seems like a good idea." More convincing is to merge the concepts of social networking with existing agency portals. That is what NASA has done with Spacebook, an employee intranet that features user profiles, group collaboration spaces and social bookmarking. With it, NASA has created a portal that connects people, ideas, documents and, thanks to a Craigslist-like component, perhaps the coolest unwanted clutter to be found this side of the universe.

Social networking media is anathema to all government computer systems and the workers who are employed to secure them from exploitation from the outside. How can you ask me to "lock down" the system, while at the same time telling me to sign up the activity with all the various social media outlets so that our "audience" can find, and interact, with us. Hey, duh, we're the government...believe me, in the 15 years I've been working in IT, they'll find you! 52% of my audience comes to me through Google right now, why do I need to have a Facebook page? So, some moron can post "garbage" on my facebook wall? And, the things that I see on government facebook pages, written by the agencies themselves, are so banal that I recommend them for latenight reading for those who suffer from insomnia!

Sooners graduated only 33 percent of players
ORLANDO, Fla. -- When it comes to graduation rates, Southern California is the clear-cut winner over LSU and Oklahoma .
In a study of graduation rates of the 56 bowl teams released Monday, USC easily beat out the other two national title contenders.
The Trojans graduated 61 percent of their football players in the years studied, compared to 40 percent for LSU and 33 percent for Oklahoma.
The numbers are an average for the freshman classes that entered school from 1993-94 to 1996-97. Students are given six years to graduate, but athletes who transfer -- even if they are in good academic standing -- count against a school.
"If there were a Top 10 ranking for graduation rates among bowl teams, Northwestern and Boston College would have played for the national championship," said Richard Lapchick, who authored the study for The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida.
Northwestern had an 83 percent graduation rate, followed by Boston College (79), Virginia (76), Tulsa (66) and Oregon (64).
The Trojans had the highest rate for any school in a BCS bowl game, while Oklahoma had the lowest. The rate for the Sooners are for classes that entered school before Bob Stoops became coach in 1999.
Arkansas and Fresno State were tied for the lowest rate at 26 percent.
Navy is the only bowl school that does not release graduation rates.
The study also looked at minority hiring practices at bowl schools. In the leadership positions of head coach, coordinators, school president, athletic director and faculty athletic representative, 94 percent of positions were held by whites. White women held 6 percent of those jobs.
UCLA's Karl Dorrell is the only minority head coach for a bowl team. There were four minority coaches among the 117 Division I-A schools this season.
There were also only eight minority coordinators, including USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow. The Trojans also had one of three black athletic directors in Mike Garrett.
"It is astonishing that only 13 of the 56 bowl schools employ any person of color in these key decision-making positions," Lapchick said. "It is no wonder why there is only one African-American head coach in a bowl game."

Comments about Avanti WC400SS 40 Bottle Wine & Beverage Free Standing Cooler:
Elegant design with the wood shelves and cool blue interior light. As is common with other coolers, the shelves don't accomodate the non-standard and slightly larger pinot noir bottles so you do lose some of the wine slots with them.
The cooler is generally quiet but doesn't contain a consistent temperature. I have it pre-set to 58 and without opening it over a day, I found it waffling in range from 55 to 59 degrees F.
Nevertheless, if you're not a stickler for the exact temperature setting, it's a decent value for the price.

Free microchipping with the Dogs Trust at Furry Friends Vets
Furry Friends Vet are participating in the Dogs Trust 'Free Microchipping through Vets' Campaign. If your dog is not yet microchipped please contact our reception team to book an appointment to get your dog chipped.
Microchipping will soon be compulsory for all dog owners in England from 6 April 2016 all dogs, following an announcement made by the Westminster Government.
Getting your dog microchipped will give you the assurance that should he become lost (or be stolen), he/she is more likely to be returned to you safe and sound.
A microchip is size of a grain of rice is inserted under your dog's loose skin, on the back of the neck. This gives the dog their own unique code. If you dog is picked up by the dog warden or turns up at a shelter or vet's, the microchip can be scanned and matched to your contact details, which are kept on a database.
If you have any questions, please contract Furry Friends Vets on 0118 9422904.
