Why did you choose this product?
I've not had these chairs 2 years (in humid Florida) and they are beautiful - I use them for dining chairs in a tight space, and they help to make the room look larger. About a year ago, I had a friend house-sit, who in turn hosted a cookout and took the chairs outdoors (overnight). The humidity / precipitation caused permanent rusting on the frames. They are perfect and extremely sturdy, just keep them indoors....

Gorgeous, but keep them indoors!!!
I've not had these chairs 2 years (in humid Florida) and they are beautiful - I use them for dining chairs in a tight space, and they help to make the room look larger. About a year ago, I had a friend house-sit, who in turn hosted a cookout and took the chairs outdoors (overnight). The humidity / precipitation caused permanent rusting on the frames.

More than I hoped for!
I was hesitant to order these chairs because I wanted ALL CLEAR chairs for my dining room and these have a silver metal frame. I didn't order the all clear ones though because I read a lot of reviews saying they weren't very sturdy, so I went with these whose reviews said they WERE sturdy. Once receiving them, I am so pleased and the metal isn't even an issue. The chairs are so awesome, shiny, and sleek looking that you don't even notice it. And also, the chairs look MUCH BETTER in person than on the website. They seem almost industrial in the pictures and much more pleasing to the eye in "real life". They are very sturdy and are going to be no problem for every day use. I love them!Read More
Wonderful Chairs!
I read all the reviews before I bought these chairs, none of which were negative. So I took the plunge and bought 4 of them and I do not regret it! They are wonderful, seeming to have created more space (because they are clear) in my dining area. You barely see the chairs. And, they are the perfect height for a dining table and are strong and sturdy. I have a 250 lb brother who had no trouble sitting on them. You do get a sore butt if you sit on them for a long time because they are hard, but that does not diminish how pleased I am with these chairs! They are also an excellent value and you appreciate that more when you get them and you see how well they are made. I'd recommend these chairs to anybody!Read More
Light weight awesome chairs
Pro: These modern chairs required no assembly whatsoever which is a huge plus on my book. I also like the thickness of the acrylic and the overall construction of the chair. Con: The acrylic is really clear but do get scratches easily straight out of the box. These scratches are minor and not very visible, so it doesn't bother me much. I take off one star for the squeaky sound that it makes when seated.Read More
PERFECT FOR WHAT I WANTED IT FOR. USED IT WITH THE SMALL BISTRO TABLE WITH GLASS TOP AND CLEAR PEDESTAL (CAN'T RECALL PRODUCT NAME). GREAT QUALITY. COMFORTABLE FOR ME (PETITE 105 lbs). LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GREAT (IF YOU CAN SEE IT!).Read More
THESE CHAIRS ARE FABULOUS. THEY ARE STRONG AND STURDY. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS 300 LBS. AND HE WAS COMFORTABLE IN THE CHAIR. WELL MADE AND LOOKS INCREDIBLE WITH MY GLASS TABLE... MAKES MY KITCHEN. MY KITCHEN LOOKS SOOOO MUCH BIGGER..GREAT FOR SMALL SPACES TOO...OVERALL A GREAT DEAL. LOOKS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE AND EVERYBODY LOVES THEM. MY FRIEND IS BUYING THEM FOR HER PORCH.. BUY THEM..YOU WILL BE HAPPY YOU DID.Read More
Sturdy and practical
These chairs are very versatile..I ordered them for a breakfast table but am already using one as a desk chair. They are very sturdy, have a low profile and fit well in any decor. Since they are clear, they practically disappear once placed under the table. Would be excellent for extra seating. One of the chairs arrived arrived with a piece broken off the top edge. I called Overstock as soon as I removed them from the box, emailed them a picture of the damage, and was sent a replacement with the week. Not only was the staff helpful but I got at least three personal emails informing me of the progress of the replacement. O's staff really rocks! I have since ordered two additional acrylic chairs in a different design and am hoping that they will be of the same great quality.Read More
These acrylic chairs are great.
I bought these based on the reviews I read. They're great. Arrived very quickly, in excellent condition, and as the readers said, they're quite comfortable. Overstock once again came through with flying colors. I highly recommend these chairs.Read More
These chairs are amazing! They are heavy and well built. A great addition to our home. Highly recommend.Read More
Lino chairs
I get a little squeamish making a purchase like this on line and I ordered 4 chairs! The first shipment arrived with all 4 chairs in the same box and the 2 on the bottom had been damaged. Looked like FedEx had drop kicked the box here. Overstock worked very quickly to ship 2 more to me and all was well. The chairs were exactly what I had imagined and no assembly required! Very sturdy and extremely comfortable. They look fantastic too. My home is a mix of all types of styles and pieces and the chairs add punch. Lots of positive comments from my friends. If you're thinking about making a purchase of the Lino clear acrylic chairs, go ahead. You won't be disappointed.Read More
Questions & Answers
Modern design + great value.
Am I supposed to remove the black stoppers on the bottom of the chairs?
Hello rhondaf, the back stoppers are not recommended to be removed. They are extra support for this lovely item.
Does the acrylic on these chairs scratch easily? I saw some acrylic chairs on display at another retailer and they were very scratched up in swirl patterns (similar to what you often see on the finish of a car).
Surprisingly, no. Even with two boys in the house, the chairs still look great. A couple of times, a screw has come loose and needed to be tightened, but I have zero complaints about these cool chairs!
The seat width says 15.75 I am worried that it will be too narrow. Does the width seem to be a problem for anyone?
Thank you for contacting us allison12345. This is a very nice chair. We haven't had anyone complaining for the width so you should be fine. Please let us know if there is anything else I can help you with.
With regards to the seat back of the chair, can you please tell me the width and height (from the seat bottom to the top of the chair back).
I don't have exact measurements, but the chair back height seemed low. My husband and I are both tall (I am 5'8" and he is 6'3") and we prefer a higher back on chairs. The seat size seemed average and was not an issue.
Thank you for your inquiry. The height from the seat to the top of the chair is 14.5".
can these chairs stack?
Yes, you can stack these chairs.
where are the chairs manufactured?
They are made in China.
What is the weight capacity of the chair?
According to a customer, this chair will hold up to 300 pounds.
how thick is the acrylic on the Lino Transparent dining chairs?
The thickness is 5/16".
The acrylic''s thickness is 5/16 of an inch.
I have a small table and was curious as to how wide at the widest point and how deep the chair is. I am not sure if the dimensions are at the widest point? Thanks
The dimensions that are listed on the product page are accurate. It is going to provide you with the overall dimensions of the chair. Dimensions:31.5 inches high x 15.75 inches wide x 19.5 inches deep.

Tricks of the trade for protecting abandoned homes from vandals
Blog Entry:
November 22, 2013 12:04 PM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
The housing market has improved considerably in the last year, but there remain, as
The Wall Street Journal
puts it
, "scores of vacant homes blighting neighborhoods across the country … easily identified by boarded-up windows and doors (that) pull down property values and attract looters scavenging for copper pipe and other scrap."
Robert Klein
— founder and chairman of
Safeguard Properties
— among those looking for new ways to improve the appearance of empty properties.
"Nonprofits and entrepreneurs are finding ways to make properties appear occupied, from decorating them for the holidays to boarding them up with hard plastic windows instead of plywood,"
the Journal
One company, Home Illusions, "has a line of decals that cost from around $40 to $100, including fake screen doors and stained-glass windows," according to the story. The paper notes that nonprofits in Cincinnati and Chicago now "enlist local artists to paint faux facades or curtain-drawn windows on boarded-up homes in hopes of making them less conspicuous."
SecureView windows, made by a newly formed company in Cleveland, "takes a different approach: Instead of boarding-up vacant homes, they seal the windows up with a clear plastic material that looks like glass but they say is tougher than wood,"
The Journal reports.
"Our goal is to eliminate plywood, period," says Mr. Klein, the company's chairman.
Howard Wedren, a Chicago real estate developer, invented the SecureView window in 2009 in an attempt to save an investment in a warehouse project near a brick-faced retail strip with foreclosures and closed businesses.
"Searching for coverup ideas, Mr. Wedren bought clear acrylic and polycarbonate plastics that he installed in his cinder block garage and, for testing purposes, attacked with rocks and a sledgehammer,"
The Journal
says. "After $10,000 in aggressive tinkering, he brought the idea to Mr. Klein, a Cleveland-based investor who was chief executive of a property-management firm. Mr. Klein asked him to reduce the cost, which Mr. Wedren eventually did by using recycled materials."
This and that
Rocky road:
has been a huge embarrassment for the Obama administration, but it "now looks like a blessing: a distraction from the more fundamental problems with Obamacare."
Bloomberg's Caroline Baum in a post that mentions the
Cleveland Clinic
"Just this week we learned that some insurance companies can't
or won't
extend existing plans for a year," according to Ms. Baum.
"Insurers are restricting choices of hospitals and doctors to contain costs," she adds. "Some hospitals, including the Cleveland Clinic, have decided to participate only in plans with higher reimbursement rates."
The Washington Post
that in some cases since the rollout of Obamacare, "the goal of lowering costs has prompted the opposite reaction: Providers themselves have balked at being in exchange networks because they are unhappy with the reimbursement rates or are concerned that the exchanges could be dominated by sick people who won't be able to pay their portion of the bills."
According to
The Post
, "The Cleveland Clinic said it decided to limit itself to plans on Ohio's exchange that offered higher reimbursement rates and were backed by brand-name insurers."
Direct approach:
Dr. Michael Rothberg
, vice chair for research at the
Cleveland Clinic Medicine Institute
, shares a difficult family story in
New York Times blog post
about medical directives.
"The old man lashed out the first night he spent in the nursing home. His behavior was so alarming that staff transferred him to a nearby hospital for evaluation," the post begins.
The gentleman then was put in restraints and sedated.
"He stopped walking, talking. He didn't seem to recognize anybody," Dr. Rothberg recalled.
The Times
notes that Dr. Rothberg then "stopped to collect himself as he spoke about this dementia patient, his father-in-law."
After another difficult hospitalization, this time for pneumonia, "the family decided they didn't want this vulnerable, distressed relative transferred from the nursing home again if he took ill," according to
The Times
. They asked that a "do not hospitalize" order be communicated to staff and placed in his medical record. Several months later, according to the post, "the patient stopped eating and drinking and passed away."
Dr. Rothberg and colleagues in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts have written a new
on what
The Times
characterizes as "little known, poorly understood medical directives." It is a small study of 16 health care proxies for patients with advanced dementia — largely their adult children, and some nieces and nephews.
The key finding: "Often, proxies are confused about how 'do not hospitalize' orders work," according to the post. "Several proxies believed, mistakenly, that a such an order was equivalent to a request to withhold medical intervention altogether."
No turning back:
Gov. John Kasich
credit for
standing his ground
on Medicaid expansion.
The Wall Street Journal
visits Scottsdale, Ariz., which this week hosted the annual Republican Governors Association meeting, and looks at how a handful of GOP governors have bucked the party trend to embrace a central tenet of Obamacare: expanding Medicaid to cover the poor.
It's not a popular position among Republicans, but Gov. Kasich isn't soft-pedaling his support.
He tells
The Journal
that Medicaid expansion offered a chance to provide health care to people just scraping by, like a single mom making $7 or $8 an hour who lacked insurance or other lower-income families struggling to deal with drug addiction or mental illness.
"For me, it was an easy decision," he says. "It's going to save lives, it's going to help people and you tell me what's more important than that."
Gov. Kasich declined, though, to criticize other GOP governors who has resisted Medicaid expansion.
"Can I judge why other people don't want to do it?" he asked. "I don't think that's fair. But, for me, it is the right thing to do."

Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, December 11, 2014 10:04 PM
I am reading Habermas and this fits with what he speculated. Efficiency is not problematic per se, but it is when the focus is exclusively on efficiency.
Sandeep Gautam's curator insight, December 11, 2014 11:42 PM
effectiveness or people focus (getting the right things done by others) trumps any day efficiency or task focus (doing things in right way for maximum production/ RoI).
Nancy J. Herr's curator insight, December 16, 2014 9:46 PM
Leadership is so much more than getting things done quickly.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, December 21, 2013 1:08 PM
The findings make sense. A caveat to the time spent mentoring teachers is we need to return to the thinking that created the role of the "principal teacher." We have move away from that.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, July 24, 2014 10:14 PM
The point about principals seeming to forget about their classroom experiences is what I saw with many principals, first year and beyond, particularly towards the end of my teaching. It coincided with their desire to create an imprint of a few of their favourite things i.e. digital technologies, 7 Habits, organize complementary courses, etc.

Now is not the time for agencies to get complacent about talent recruitment
Ronald Sanders is a senior executive adviser at Booz Allen Hamilton, where he focuses on strategic human capital and organizational transformation. Jeff Pon is a principal at Booz Allen Hamilton, leading the firm's human capital and learning efforts across the federal civilian market.
Thanks to the perception that the federal government provides job stability, government employment has seen a resurgence in popularity among younger job seekers. However, the economy is cyclical and will turn around sooner or later. When it does, the promise of stability alone might not be enough to attract the best and brightest talent to the government. Thus, now is certainly not the time for agencies to get complacent about talent recruitment. Indeed, with President Barack Obama and Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry making federal hiring reform a top priority, this is a great time to take advantage of the government's inherent strengths as an employer and change the way it markets itself to younger workers.
Here are some ideas for how to do that.
It's going to take a different set of messages and tools to recruit and nurture the next generation of government workers. To attract the best and brightest workers — those who are committed to public service generally and a given agency and mission in particular — federal employers will need to articulate their value proposition using cutting-edge marketing strategies that speak to the aspirations of our next generation of public servants on their own virtual turf. If the federal government does this correctly, it has a great chance of competing with the private sector to become the employer of choice for years to come.

I was lucky enough to be recognized by management for my work in nearly all instances, and would say I did pretty well for myself in 2.5 years, moving from a GS-7 to GS-11 and receiving a number of monetary awards for various projects. I feel I made some changes and improvements, but was extremely restricted in what I was capable of. I would actually volunteer for the 'crap' jobs nobody wanted to take on so I would be considered the lead and make changes myself without needing to consult anyone. Consequently, I was doing much more than a select number of my colleagues at a much higher level (Gs-13 / 14) through this automation. Unfortunately the government has some antiquated promotion policies, so my advancement was still limited.So while I received some great experience due to others unwillingness to work, the young talent is often 'abused' and poorly rewarded - I left my 'stable' job to become a contractor, and while I still face some of the same challenges (such as the unwillingness to change), I receive much better compensation (double), and better benefits (which surprised me after hearing so much talk about how Federal employees live 'the good life' and how overpaid they are), with far fewer hours. For me, I'm happy with the tradeoffs, since the "chance to make a difference in the world," as the article put it, was quickly smothered and is evidently impossible. Most new hires will be able to see that first-hand within no more than a year, and I guarantee they will become just as disenchanted.So believe me, just recruiting young talent wont do much good unless other substantial changes are made. In fact, it may be detrimental to recruit young talent if they're treated much as I was - I've since cautioned friends looking into Federal employment to stay far away until they have the experience to land the 'cushy' GS-13+ jobs because of it.
As a young (former) Federal employee, just recruiting young talent is the first step. Once they're there, the government needs to do a lot more to keep them there. In the workplace (at least in IT), the most simple changes are stifled and there is absolutely no desire to improve efficiency. Instead, the latest buzz words are tossed around, money is dedicated to projects that have little meaning (or chance of success), and unrealistic deadlines are set - and then all of the work is put on this young talent; I have first-hand experience on that. As a single example of the lack of change and efficiency, I proposed a simple method to automate some of our account management processes. Rather than even looking at my proposal, I was told to drop it - because it would cost 3 individuals their jobs. This, of course, would not have been the case - their jobs would have been made more efficient and allowed for more consistent results through better quality control.There also is no concern with having the young talent work the extra hours needed - on numerous occassions, I was supposed to work with some of my so-called mentors and superiors to perform major upgrades during limited outages. One example of this is during a major snowstorm, I worked the full work day, went home and slept for a couple hours, and then proceeded to travel to our main data center ~30 miles away (which took a good 90 minutes to traverse due to the inclement weather) to perform a major storage infrastructure upgrade of which I had no familiarity. The 'mentor' who was supposed to be the lead on this informed me he wouldn't be able to make it in (while he lived ~5 miles away), but insisted I complete the upgrade (after an additional 8 hours and being able to leave at about 5AM Saturday morning) and simply keep him updated - so he could pass those updates along to management. I worked directly with vendor support (who thankfully was able to take my call at that hour) and one other contractor on a different contract - the other contractors deemed this not covered under their SOW.(cont.)

Apple's Steve Jobs calls family of teen killed for iPod
In a phone call to the father of the 15-year-old boy who was fatally stabbed over his iPod last week in Brooklyn, Apple CEO Steve Jobs conveyed his sympathies and told the man not to hesitate to ask if there was anything Jobs could do for him.
"I didn't know who he was," Errol Rose, father of the slain Christopher Rose, told The New York Times. "He called me on my cellphone, at 4 maybe. Or maybe it was 5."
"He told me that he understood my pain," Rose said. "He told me if there is anything—anything—he could do, to not be afraid to call him. It really lightened me a bit. Some people talk to you like they're something remote," Rose said. "He was so familiar. After every word, he paused, as if each word he said came from his heart."
"We live in a world which is changing rapidly," Rose said. "We have the technology that can give us the iPod and everything else, but it's not all these things. We have to work on the minds and the hearts. We're failing these kids. We're not loving them like we're supposed to."

This is where it's all happening
Haarlem is a small, relaxing break from Amsterdam and this is a good place to spend some time. Grote Markt is a large square in front a massive church. This is where the tourists gather and where the souvenir shops for Haarlem are. Try the fish from the stand accross the church for a real Dutch eating experience.
Grote Markt / Big Market square
The Haarlem Grote Market is a big square in center city. In its early days the square had no pavement and was called Het Sant (The Sand).
The following buildings are located around the square:
-Grote of Sint-Bavokerk church (80 meters high and the landmark of Haarlem)
-The city hall
-De Hoofdwacht
-De Vishal (Fish Hall)
-De Vleeshal (Meat Hall)
-De Verweyhal
A number of statues are located on the square; the one of Laurens Janszoon Coster is the best known one.
Regular events on the square:
-The Monday- and Saturday street market-
-The fairs
-The annual Jazz weekend
-The comic book week
-The musicians March in June

Grote Markt
A large pleasing city square that has the famous St Bavo Kerk within , the statue of Coster a number of shops and cafes/restaurants. Famous as the only place in Holland where a waiter tried to short change me so beware. Coster was an important citizen of Haarlem and held the position of sexton (Koster) of Sint-Bavokerk. He probably perished in the plague that Haarlem suffered in 1439-1440. Thought by the Dutch to be the man who invented printing - I thought it was Caxton in England and the Germans claim to have the worlds first printer too! However its an impressive statue and probably Hollands best city square - very big and open with a real sense of space that is spoiled by the pofferjte food van in its middle. At least its traditional - it would be a burger van in other countries.

is a lot of work from hin to see. Also some work to see from the famous 'Cobra'-group.
I also didn't had the time to visit but I'm sure it will be the first thing to do when I visit Haarlem again...........
Grote Markt
You will visit Grote Markt wether you wanno or not. The Grote Markt is the central market square of Haarlem and has been so for centuries. It is the centre-piece for many of Haarlem's famous buildings, including the City Hall, The Vlesshal, Hoofwacht and Saint Bavo Cathedral. The Grote Marky square is very lively and is still very much the focal point of the city, with many bars and restaurants around the square. A colourful market is held here on Mondays and Saturdays.

It stands on the very place from where the history of the city began (Pfalzgraf castle). It was reconstructed several times and as the result you can see Reinassance loggia on the left wing.
Grote Markt
Grote Markt
It's the historical kernel of the city. It's surrounded by Gild houses as it's usual for Medieval town building traditions.
The day I was in Haarlem there was a contemporary market on the old Market square, though all these tents prevented me of taking proper pics ;)))
Grote Markt
I didn't actually surveyed much of Haarlem area as I was in fact most of the time in Amsterdam even though my first 2 nights is in Haarlem.
So I cannot offer much "things to do or see".
For one, Grote Markt juz cuz I stayed right in the midst of it. Grote Markt is the main market square - and it's the biggest - in Haarlem. People choose to converge here because of the large plaza and several dining options and outdoor cafes.
Plus your voice echoes when you shout, laugh or raise your conversations at night -- might be the effect of your voice bouncing against the tall walls of the St. Bavo church? Believe me, it does, because I could hear laughters and conversations from my hotel room on 3rd floor from the window that sounds like coming from a big tin drum.
I mean, seriously?
I think there are also some kind of market selling different stuff during the day maybe on certain days cuz when I came back late afternoon from Amsterdam some mobile stores are packing and a mobile plants shop is still there.
The cute-looking red building that is the city hall is also situated in the Grote Markt, the Vleeshal (translated literally as "meat hall).

Al costado occidental de la Grote Markt se encuentra el Ayuntamiento del siglo XIV, que creció grandemente en los siglos que siguieron, incluyendo un balcón desde el que los fallos judiciales se daban a conocer. El Salón de los Condes contiene pinturas del siglo XV y normalmente está abierto en horario de oficina.
Al centro de la Grote Markt están el Vleeshal del siglo XVII y antiguo mercado de carne que hoy acoge exhibiciones de arte contemporáneo y el Verweyhal, de estilo renacentista y diseñado por Lieven de Key, que acoge la colección de arte moderno del Frans Halsmuseum, incluyendo obras de impresionistas holandeses y del movimiento COBrA. Son conocidos ambos edificios colectivamente como De Hallen, abriendo de 11 am a 5 pm de Lunes a Sábado y de 1 a 5 pm los Domingo
Town hall
The town hall has its origins in a medieval court of the counts of Holland; for a long time Haarlem was the second city of Holland (of Holland, not of The Netherlands), after Dordrecht. Several later rebuilts resulted in the current look, an attractive mixture of styles.

The Verweyhal is a building at the corner of the Grote Markt (Big Market square) and the Grote Houtstraat street. It is named after Haarlem's famous painter Kees Verwey.
The building dates from 1880 and was designed by architect A.J. van Beek. He won a contest to design a building for the local cultural society "Trou moet Blycken". Unfortunately the cost to build the building was more than the society could provide, even after renting out the ground floor as shop space. When the money ran out, the city bought the building, which in 1925 was sold to the Spaarnebank.
In 1978 the city again became the owner and some municipal departments were housed here.
In 1992 the building was renovated to become a part of the Hallen museum, with this part devoted to Kees Verwey.

Are you using shrubs as moon garden backdrops?
I've been enjoying this forum though I notice that it has become much more about the moonflower vine as far as questions go!
I was wondering for those of you who have planned out your gardens whether shrubs are incorporated? Most of the lists are of flowers and vines-maybe tender shrub-like perennials like brugs or plumbagos.
I have a totally exposed area ( SE--to a downhill view and sky) which would probably be great to grow many of the moon garden plants. However, at some point I am going to want to incorporate a border/barrier as a property demarcation. I love shrubs with multi-functionality (blooms, interesting foliage, scent). Are you utilizing any evergreen or deciduous shrubs in your plans or just using flowers?
Hi Sujiwan.. I have some shrubs in my white/evening garden. Some of the ones I have include: lilac with a clematis ( Arctic Queen) running through it, dwarf mock orange Minnesota Snowflake, clethra 'Hummingbird', two bayberry shrubs, roses: Iceberg and Blanc Double De Coubert, a burning bush with a clematis (Henryi) running through it, tree peony Godaishu, two varigated hollies, and a Seven Son's Flower tree/shrub (heptacodium miconioides). Off the top of my head that is what I have as far as shrubs go mixed in with the perennials, bulbs and annuals. I tend to use the smaller shrubs, although I have a few larger ones in there, because that garden is an island off center in my front lawn.. I want to be able to see beyond it to some of my other gardens. The area directly behind it I have a plan to add an area of ostrich fern as a back drop. I have also considered beyond that some purple smoke bush to set off the color of the fern, and for the white to play against. We shall see, I am always thinking of new things..Good luck, and have fun! JoAnn
Hi Sujiwan,
I, too, am using shrubs in my garden, though I'm only now beginning the installation. I've wanted a moon garden for quite some time. We moved last year and I found the perfect place for one at the end of a metal building, which is visible from our drive. I wanted to screen the building end (because it looks so commercial) so I've used some big plants.
Just out from the building I've used a Shasta Viburnum, 3 Arborvitae, and an heirloom Mock Orange. Diagonally in front of the Viburnum will be a white azalea. In front of the Arborvitae will be a bench for sitting and enjoying the garden. Beside the bench, and beside the Mock Orange, I've planted a White Lilac. When they fill in the Mock Orange and Lilac should provide nice screening from the road, which is about 50' away. Also, back on the side where I've put the viburnum and azalea, I've planted a Chinese Dogwood, which flowers white in June and July (about 6 weeks, according to the tag...)

The members of Young Widows wear their influences on their sleeves; in fact, it's easy to imagine homemade Fugazi and Dazzling Killmen patches sewn onto their hoodies. Not that anyone is complaining: The Louisville, Kentucky, band has perfected the mid-'90s basement-show indie rock that was popular when it recorded as seminal post-hardcore outfit Breather Resist. On Young Widows' latest album, Old Wounds, Evan Patterson's sharp-elbowed guitar work and commanding baritone bulldoze his band's fuzzed-out bass and Neanderthal drumming. It's a cocktail heavy enough to pummel the listener into oblivion — yet addictive enough to make the same listener swear they fell down the stairs to conceal the bruises.

"European operators and passengers have long seen Daimler's Setra as the most luxurious continental coach brand, offering even more style, amenities and customization than Daimler's own Mercedes buses, both of which sit as sister brands under the EvoBus division of Daimler," says Brent Maitland, VP, marketing and product planning. "What we want to do is bring the right type of features to benefit operators here in the U.S. and Canada."
The new S 417 introduced earlier this year at the American Bus Association's Marketplace and the United Motorcoach Association's Expo at Travel Exchange feature a second-door option and high-end club corner seating; both new features to the North American market.
The Setra S 417 can also be outfitted with such unique features as the TopSky glass roof, rear window, passenger electronics and an array of amenities. Setra designs its own seating and a range of interior and exterior features, with operators enjoying the opportunity to uniquely design, customize and collaborate on their operation's vehicle.
"We view the Setra S 417 as the premier coach, and with it being in MCI's stable, it is positioned at the very top," says Maitland. "A Setra TopClass is clearly different with polished curb appeal and amazing interiors that can be tailored to meet customer preferences with millions of possible fabric, leather and trim combinations."
MCI also markets the Setra S 407 as a premium value coach to meet the grueling demands of tour, charter and heavy-duty transportation applications while offering important commonality with the flagship 417 TopClassEngineering, safety featuresAlthough it is now part of the MCI family of vehicles, both Setra models are still designed and built in Neu-Ulm, Germany.
Setra's integral, self-supporting structure provides a
The Setra also includes several safety features, including a front collision guard behind the front bumper, which absorbs force in the case of a frontal impact and helps prevent front underrun.
Additionally, the S 417 features front cornering lights that come on with the turn signal, while automatic rain-sensor windshield wipers complete the suite of bad-weather safety features. A light sensor additionally turns on exterior lighting, enabling drivers to keep their eyes on the road. The cockpit is designed to keep other potential distractions to a minimum as well, from the steering wheel-mounted audio-video controls to the hands-free flexible boom microphone.
All six wheels on the S 417 have Knorr-Bremse disc brakes and the driver instrument panel monitors brake pad wear and replacement status.
Standard on all Setras are fire detection and tire-pressure monitoring systems, which use sensors to detect problems before safety is compromised. Additionally, the tire-pressure system helps operators optimize fuel economy through proper tire inflation.
Parts, service and supportIn addition to Setra factory-trained technicians, MCI also has a dedicated Setra group in Service Parts to help fulfill Setra customers' parts needs. MCI also continues to boost its aftermarket support to Setra customers who have high expectations of the brand by leveraging all the resources, talents and strengths longtime MCI operators know well.
"A premium brand needs premium support," adds Maitland. "We're very fortunate to be able to tap the knowledge of former Setra employees who are now with MCI, and our strategy is to have a dedicated team focused on Setra from service to parts support."
Down the road, Maitland says MCI's plan is to enhance the Setra brand and product roadmap, however, since bringing in new products is a very expensive and lengthy proposition, no new major product releases are imminent.
"We certainly need to keep advancing in terms of improvement and coach features," he explains.MCI model changesFollowing a redesign to the exterior of the MCI J4500 in 2013, MCI engineers have gone under the hood for a substantive enhancement to the vehicle's performance.
MCI will install the ZF axle system with Independent Front Suspension (IFS) and a Bendix braking system on its MCI J4500 in coming months, complementing a recently added MCI Dynamic Suspension System. MCI D-Series coaches will get similar treatment, but without the independent front-wheel suspension. These new systems promise a significantly tighter turning radius on the J4500, enhanced ride quality and easier serviceability.
Performance"The ZF axle system, manufactured in the U.S., has been proven in many other coach and transit bus models around the world," says Maitland. "The turning radius on the J4500 tightens from 45 feet, with rear axle suspension, to 40 feet, 11 inches. It also has a more efficient air system for faster rise times."
Maitland says the system's rise expediency is especially useful when a coach approaches steep inclines like those common in San Francisco. The new Bendix ADB 22 X brake system, forthcoming on both the J4500 and D-Series coaches, offers excellent stopping distances. And yet, for drivers, its biggest benefit is pedal feel.
"Drivers will notice a more automotive-like brake feel," Maitland explains. The coach will feature another important Bendix system, Wingman, which includes adaptive cruise control that detects a coach's position behind other vehicles and automatically reduces the throttle or applies the brakes to maintain a set following distance. In combination, these system improvements contribute payload gains of approximately 700 pounds, according to MCI.Lowering cost of operations MCI's desire to lower its coaches' cost of operation pushed the changes. Operators should see reduced tire wear because of the standard passive rear-steer tag and automatic tag axle. They will also likely see savings because the overall system has fewer parts.
Serviceability is enhanced in many ways, such as allowing operators to replace bearings rather than the entire hub and the use of a common brake rotor part rather than two parts.
MCI engineers began the system change project several years ago, when they were looking for a way to introduce more commonality in parts and components while improving the company's models overall.
"Our major focus was on performance," says Maitland. "We have selected the systems that are proven within our own industry on a global scale and adapted them with our engineering expertise. ZF has over 20 years of experience in this arena."
To test the systems on its J4500 coach, MCI used the Bosch testing track, where an independent team simulated nearly one million miles. MCI has several pilot coaches featuring the ZF and Bendix systems in field tests with operators across the country in heavy-duty applications where cold weather, dust and long distances all come into play.
"Feedback is very good," Maitland says.
Operators will get the chance to test-ride the J4500 during the MCI Reliability Rally held at race tracks and stadiums around the country. To view a complete schedule, visit www.mcicoach.com.
Scott Evans will be partnering with Ryhan Cornell and Claude Payne to work with customers in Kentucky, North and South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
Custom Coach & Limousine's 34 passenger TS 30s are equipped with top features such as 110-volt plugs, Alcoa Durabright wheels, block heater, cordless mic, rear camera, rear window, a REI A/V system and woodgrain floors.
The groups urged planners to add parking near the National Mall for the millions of people who will visit by bus and car over the next several months, kicking off with the National Cherry Blossom Festival.
In their meetings, UMA members shared information about their own businesses and rallied for backing of three critical needs: opposition of FMCSA's proposal to raise the Federal financial responsibility limits, support of Rep. Barletta's proposal to remove CSA scores from public view until the data used to calculate the score can be improved, and support to preserve the current charter service rule.

Re: MLB Season Discussion - 2013
oh, he comes off a little funny for sure, but once you get over him constantly talking about cheese, salad, moss, etc. it's actually very good commentary, and usually pretty insightful. From a pitching perspective, he really gets a lot of what's going on out there, which is helpful and interesting. Sounds corny at times, but once you accept the vocabulary, it's pretty good.
And honestly, they don't sound any different calling the As/Tigers game than they have calling the Red Sox games, so they come across pretty well and not so much a couple of homers. No John Stirling, anyway
Perhaps, if I am very lucky, the feeble efforts of my lifetime will someday be noticed and maybe, in some small way, they will be acknowledged as the greatest works of genius ever created by man. ~Jack Handey
