fablefire wrote:In any case, I think the brown hues will look awesome on creme.
I agree. I do wish that there was a way to see how these shirts would come out, though. Someone posted a list of shirts earlier that looked great on screen but printed horribly. Isn't there some kind of print process simulation that can let us see what these shirts will look like in real life?

Sorry for artifacts.

I know, doesn't stop me from representing the misconception that happened. Besides, it's just supposed to be a funny shirt.
Re: 1969- Great Moon Hoax
I love this. It reminds me of a scene in hairspray when Tracy gets on the corny collins show and penny goes to her house to show her parents and edna says I read all about it, it's a big fake hollywood set. You think I'm gonna think he's really up there then penny says, it's not john glenn mrs turnblad! Yeah. I've seen this movie a few times. I'll definitely stay up til midnight to buy this shirt.
dig it

Indeed, if you are claiming that 'black power' is not entirely about racism, then I suggest you might benefit from a little history lesson. In regards to this particular instance, how is this different from the English soccer team giving the adowwuble cutie-patootie salute during the '38 Olympics?
Re: 1973
Wow... I'm up to 8th place... at least for the moment. This is the best I've done since my Lake Ontario Sunset shirt. Thanks for all the votes!
simoxius wrote:wow this could have been done so much better. not that i would be able to do anything better but two cooling towers or vases, depending how you look at them could mean anything.
Yes, I really wanted a nice toxic haze or a zombie or two, but alas, my skillz and my dreams forced a tragic split. So, we ended up with two towers. There are other 3 mile island shirts that went a slightly different direction (by way of artistic talent), and I am sure that the designers would appreciate a vote for them if you can not vote for my lonely reactor cooling towers.
Re: 1988
The more I look at this the more I realize I am unreasonably in love with it. This is the best cat shirt ever. Loving the colors, the details and the cat's expression. Brilliant and sardonic once again!

Re: 1986: The Legend Was Born
I would certainly buy/vote for this if it were in another color~ Why not green hahaha
superspryte wrote:It means inspired by the number, so maybe there's a book, like the year I was born (1984), and the book wasn't written that year, etc. No text means no letters, numbers, punctuation, infinity, foreign text (Asian languages), or sign language.
you didnt say arabic. so we can sub in arabic is what you're saying right?
Fable, I wanted to do something Nintendo-ish, but I didn't stop to think that some of those images weren't copyrighted. This shirt is DEFINITELY going to win, and this'll be my first woot shirt purchase . I was born in '86 as well, and I happen to think Zelda is amazing.
Re: 1979
I see that Three Mile Island is a popular theme, but it was the first thing I got an idea for. Courteous, but honest feedback appreciated.
Re: 1982: Thriller
Not to get technical or anything, but the Thriller Video premiered on Dec 2, 1983.
Re: 1984: purple rain
Is this a resub from the lyrics illustrated derby? This design looks supper familiar. No offense intended, I was just curious.
Re: Wired with Joy
Ooh, sneaky...I didn't even realize the text until I saw it rejected. Poo. I voted for this, too.
Re: 1984: 3.5 inch floppy in 1.4k glory
This is a nice idea and not badly executed.. I could have done without the bubbles though... O well, GMV
Huh? Where was there text?
Love the shirt! If I recall correctly, I think one of the main arguments behind the "theory" that we didn't go to the moon is that there's apparently no wind on the moon, yet the flag was blowing in the video.
SailorButterfly wrote:Ooh, sneaky...I didn't even realize the text until I saw it rejected. Poo. I voted for this, too.
Yeah... that can easily be fixed, though. Re-do the cord and resub.
Seattlejo wrote:Huh? Where was there text?
Good question... How do you "design a shirt that somehow relates to the year you were born: through fashion, historical events, cultural trends, the Chinese zodiac, or even the number itself." without using a number?
The one that makes me laugh is the 2nd row, 2nd from the left - I dunno why, but that position is just funny. Funny shirt - I like it.
I would suggest either changing the shirt color or changing the color of the shirt that the turtle (is that what that is?) is wearing. They bleed too much together.... good idea though. GMV.
fablefire wrote:I am? Seems I'm the youngin' a lot lately.
By one year, yep. I'm an '85 baby.
My dad is a rocket scientist for NASA. I wear this shirt and I might be kicked out of the family. I will wear it anyway. Received my vote.
Myztri wrote:Not to get technical or anything, but the Thriller Video premiered on Dec 2, 1983.
Hmm, I hadn't thought of that (or looked it up). But, I do remember that this year was thriller's big 25th anniversary.
Re: The Year of the Ox 1961
I'm afraid Chinese characters are still considered text. This will be rejected.
francisrizzo3 wrote:Good question... How do you "design a shirt that somehow relates to the year you were born: through fashion, historical events, cultural trends, the Chinese zodiac, or even the number itself." without using a number?
If the designer took the controller and had it on the shirt 77 times, it would represent the number 77 without containing text. Another good example I've seen: someone born in 1984 could do something from the book 1984 even though that's not the year the book came out, since the title is the same number.
I think someone explained it earlier... If you were born in 1984 you can do something about 1984 (the novel) even though the novel was written in 1948. If you were born in 1999 you can do a shirt about Prince's song. You just can't put the actual digits in the design.
kenjitr wrote:This appears as a light pink on my monitor as well. Are we sure it's on cream? I voted for it but dunno if I would actually buy it if it's so rosy.
It's pretty easy to be sure: woot doesn't offer pink. It's also well established that a lot of people's monitors display the creme as pinkish. Might be time to adjust the monitor settings.
Awesomeness... Two, two, two references in one! I would definitely buy this... GMV
Re: 1981
1981 held the release of the Heman action figure series and brought joy to kids everywhere! who didnt wanna be a rediculously buff dude thats rides a green tiger!... well girls i guess...
That wasnt my problem, i literally didnt see the text in the cord until it was pointed out.
Without going into the whole "copyright" tirade and "draw it yourself" tirade, I would like to note that He-Man looks like a Kennedy when live-traced.
i think this is one of the best you've ever done bluchez. good luck dude.
Very nice detailed design. Great job on the fading out! I'm not crazy about the colors but what can you do . GMV

"I ordered this card with the pearl white shimmer paper and could not be happier. The card was exactly as pictured on the web site."
"This card is stylish without being over the top! I love the matte card stock with the pearl finish. It gives it that shimmery look that you wouldn't get with the plain matte finish. You should be aware that because this is a square card it is about $.20 more per card to send via snail mail...not a deal breaker for me because I only send out about 30, but for someone who sends out a lot of cards this might deter you. Otherwise, this is a great card and I would recommend it."
"I wanted a card that showed all that we did during the year. This was perfect! I ended up choosing the pearly paper and it was worth the extra amount, it gave it that extra holiday sparkle. I also got the return address on the envelope and that is so worth it as well. Beautiful presentation. My ONLY complaint and the only reason why I dropped it a star was that there was no choice of color for the back (it was blackish colored). We like to personalize our cards and we had to get silver marker and it was just a pain bec the marker had a hard time with the kind of paper it was. But otherwise, super happy with everything else."
"Loved that I was able to place any of my photos in with great ease. The colors on the card are vivid and turned out great. Definitely a hit with all of the family!"
"The product was easy to customize, shipping was fast (and expensive!), and the product itself was high quality. I love the bold colors and the printed backside. I wish there was a way to write a personalized message on the backside of the card, but there is not :("

One of the best things about high school basketball in the state of Illinois is the holiday hoops tradition around the state. Small school tournaments in Waverly and Williamsville, the State Farm Classic in Bloomington, the Pekin and Pontiac Holiday Tournaments, the tournament at Proviso West, and the McDipper at Rich South are just a few of the tournaments that bring the fans out over the Holidays.

Questions to help them start writing
Seven of the questions below, were given to me by Clancy I., a few years ago, and the idea with his Seven Questions... are to help someone to get into writing in preparation for their 4th Step. They are NOT intended to replace the 4th Step. (There is a post here in this forum, with Clancy's original Seven Questions, if you'd like to check out the originals).
I've used them with numerous newcomers to help relieve some of the emotional pressures that some of us arrive with, that can often lead us back to a drink before we get through the 4th Step.... if we don't vent some of the stuff that's really got us down. The results were positive. I've also used the Seven Questions with some Old-timers, who had strayed over to the "jumping off placeâ€

Popular MMO ? Never heard of it
Phoronix: Ryzom MMORPG Released As Free Software
Ryzom, a popular massively multi-player online role-playing game (MMORPG), is being entirely open-sourced and even the artwork is going to be provided freely too. The Ryzom game is being put out under the GNU Affero GPL and the artwork is going under the Creative Commons...
Popular MMO ? Never heard of it
I remember a few years ago that there was talks of buying and then liberating the source of Ryzom, just like what happened to Blender almost a decade ago, but nothing came out of it then. It is good to see this finally happening and even if I'm not really into MMO's I'm excited about this news. Seeing how Blender has sky rocketed in every aspect since it's liberation, it will be interesting to see what will come out of this.
The game is still pay-per-month (8$) - unless you write your own game logic for the provided server.
I have Play this game in the OpenBeta an in the Closed Beta ( Focus Beta) My char was an Elder of Atys but the final game was incomplete an in the Focus Beta they have killed the fun to play with more as 2 Players.
And friend of mine an me look at the client and we hope to bring back the Beta fun.
The game (at least, the core) *does* compile natively on Linux: http://dev.ryzom.com/wiki/ryzom/BuildForLinux
Wonder if Worldforge will dump some of their own software projects for some of the software in Ryzom if it's better.
A few tidbits, guys:
1) The full game engine is now under the AGPL3 license, as opposed to the base NeL engine that the original company, Nevrax, had placed under the GPL a long while back. NeL was missing some parts that were added later on when Nevrax went bankrupt and the other company and studio took on where they left off. This adds those pieces back in the mix with a slightly different license.
2) The assets (as in all the 3D models, textures, etc...) are going to be available under a Creative Commons license.
3) This doesn't mean you get the game itself- they retain rights to the game logic, etc. They've got to make money somehow.
4) The game itself was a good MMORPG that got decent critical acclaim, but didn't gain more than a merely sustaining number of customers because it couldn't compete with WoW. (Funny that...)
The upshot is that there's at least a small chance you'll be able to make a port to Linux of the client that they'll support at this point.

Michael Sheen Gossip
Michael Sheen gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Sarah Silverman's boyfriends and exes
Wenn, AKM-GSI/ Splash
Sarah Silverman and Michael Sheen were out for dinner last night. They seem really into each other, as evidenced by her name-checking him during her Emmy award acceptance. There's that stage in a relationship when you can't help but namecheck the person all the time. For Tom Cruise, that totally threw his career off balance. Full Story
Virginia Smiles
Masters of Sex Season 2 Episode 3 recap An unusual episode. None of our usual players (though possibly a starmaking turn for Elliot, you know?) and just one main location. Part of the glory of making a show that is not a procedural is that you can experiment with formats and types of shows and stretch the limits of what your show is. Full Story
Rachel, Michael, Sarah: also MET exes
Splash, Larry Busacca/ Dimitrios Kambouris/ Getty
Rachel McAdams wore a strapless, dusty rose Calvin Klein dress to the MET Gala and…I'm asleep. Sorry. I do love her. She's a darling, a Canadian darling. But you can't tell me this is a standout. You can't tell me you're still thinking about it. You stopped thinking about it half a second after you saw it. Full Story
Sarah Silverman Sex
When we were talking about articles for today's column, this news item came up, but I was so focused on Valerie Cherish (coming soon) that I forgot to confirm I was doing this one. When Lainey prodded me "And the Sheen one too, right?" I was confused for a second. Because of course, for her, it's a Michael Sheen story. Full Story
The future who?
Sarah Silverman and Michael Sheen are totally girlfriend-boyfriend. They were in New York this weekend walking hand in hand. Cute, right? She's 43, he's 45. She's funny and smart and crass and SEXY as f-ck (she's on Jacek's Five List), and he's funny and smart and talented, and maybe there's some crass there that he hides behind his English accent. Full Story
It's Like Firing God
Masters Of Sex Season 1 Episode 12 recap Ha! Okay, this show doesn't go for the cheap laugh or any laugh, per se, but I didn't mind that line from Lester. It was a much needed moment of levity in an episode that seemed like it was going to break under the weight of its own revelations. Full Story
Sex Weekend
Wenn, AKM-GSI/ Splash
Masters Of Sex! Finally! It premieres on The Movie Network in Canada and Showtime in the US on Sunday and so far, the reviews have been solid. Some people are calling it "the best new show of the season". Yay Lizzy Caplan! Yay Michael Sheen! GOOD. Full Story

Michael Sheen's new show Masters Of Sex premieres on Showtime in September. Caitlin Fitzgerald plays his wife. And now the two are apparently dating. They were papped together the other day looking like it was a date – click here to see the photos. Full Story
Rachel & Michael: over
Kevin Winter/ GABRIEL BOUYS/ Getty
I just wrote "Rachel & Ryan" and had to delete it. Are you conditioned the same way? Pop culture memory is fascinating. Last year I broke the news that Michelle Williams and Jason Segel were dating. US Weekly reported yesterday that they're no longer together. Full Story
Real preg and fake preg
Fame/Flynet, Simon Earl/Splash
Drew Barrymore went for a manicure and pedicure in LA today. Meanwhile over in London yesterday, Rachel McAdams played pregnant, apparently going into labour on the set of the new Richard Curtis movie About Time. I'm assuming that Bill Weasley is the father. Yes, Rachel and Michael Sheen are still together and solid. Full Story
Twilight's last Vancouver
Reshoots happening for Twilight 5 this week in Vancouver. Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Michael Sheen, and Ashley Greene arrived last night. They start today and are scheduled to be done before the end of the week. Stewart's supposed to appear on The Tonight Show on Friday and then begins junketing for Snow White And The Huntsman. Full Story
Rachel & Michael: game face in London
It's mostly maturity and experience, of course, but I do love how...comfortable Rachel McAdams seems to be with Michael Sheen when they're working, together, and promoting whatever project it is that is before them. She is supporting his work, happily. She understands that being there with him, at the premiere tonight of The Gospel Of Us in London, means even more attention for his film. Full Story
Rachel's Easter with Michael
Rachel McAdams has been in Berlin working the last few weeks. Yesterday however she turned up in Wales to support boyfriend Michael Sheen at the premiere of his film The Gospel Of Us. Earlier in the day the two were seen enjoying Easter brunch with his family. Many of you have been emailing lately asking about whether or not these two are still solid. Full Story
Rachel for his birthday
It was Michael Sheen's birthday yesterday. He spent it with Rachel McAdams in LA. They were photographed out for lunch. The day before they were also photographed running errands, very happy, very affectionate, VERY cute. Tonight is the Hollywood premiere of The Vow. Seems a good assumption that he'll join her on the carpet. Full Story

HOUSTON, TEXAS -- 11/18/2011 Here is the update to this MESS. I received a box of stuffing and an envelope containing what looks like a cover for the Chaise. Have not received a call about when a TECH Repair person will be here to FIX the problems. By the way the stuffing they use is VERY FLAMMABLE!!!
I am still not sure if this is their Final resolution and that I am to FIX it myself. The only resolution in my opinion is a FULL REFUND AND PICK UP THIS CRAPPY FURNITURE. Of course if I don't hear from them or my idea of a Resolution is not met I will be at the store the day after Thanksgiving with the box of FLUFF and Cover to show other consumers the quality of the material they use.
7/9/2011 purchased $2,476.06 "Leather Blend" 3 recliners, 1 Chaise. I have contacted the corporate office 4 times, called the store 4 times, had two tech service calls - one arrived instructed me to unzip the arm rest that was flattening supporting your arm on the wood of the arm rest frame. He would do nothing about my second complaint of "SCRATCHES" appearing from my dog. He commented the corporate office position was that pet damage is not covered under the warranty; the second Tech never showed up or called, and this is after receiving assurance from ** the store Manager that he would take care of me and make me happy.
However my position is that a couch made of this fabric was unacceptable and having owned prior other Leather blend and leather sofas this "SCRATCHING" was never an issue with my pets. After sending lots of emails with pictures Corporate called me today 11/11/11 willing to only replace the chaise and "Fix" the arm rest stuffing which is the only issued coverage on the warranty. My position is NO after reading the entire rip off stories of the poor quality of the material in their products with strong complaints with this particular model sofa set, I demanded a full refund.
Of course that is not their policy and I have to wait 4-6 weeks before I will receive a call to schedule an appointment for another repair tech (still not sure if they are replacing the chaise or recovering the Chaise, which they are doing as a courtesy this time but not any longer in the NO I did not agree and my comments to you were "do what you have to do").
With copies of my damaged furniture and a sign warning consumers, I sat in the PUBLIC Parking lot in the shopping center where Ashley furniture is located. I showed others and they agree this kind of damage is not
from PETS - it's from Faulty material. And considering the cost of the furniture the material is lacking in durability which people expect from a sofa. I don't know anyone who purchases furniture with the intention of placing BLANKETS ON THE CUSHIONS TO PROTECT FROM SCRATCHING.
By the way what do you say about the faulty cushions and stuffing used, which if you read the websites this is MAJOR COMPLAINT OF CONSUMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED FROM ASHLEY FURNITURE. If a full refund is not given then I have other measure of publicizing the FAULTY Quality of Material Used in this sofa set. YOUR POSITION THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY PET DAMAGE, I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH!
I am today contact an attorney to collect not only the full purchase price of the furniture but also compensation for my time, and cost for protecting my rights as a consumer. I have informed ** the operations manager on Saturday 11/12/2011, that I will continue to sit in the parking lot with copies of the damage as well as printing business cards to pass around where ever I go to discredit Ashley furniture and their practices and faulty material used in their products.
If ** took the time to look at the web sites she will find other complaints regarding professionalism of the Corporate office of Ashley furniture, the quality of furniture, the no shows of tech repairs, delayed deliveries, etc etc etc.
PHOENIX, ARIZONA -- I bought a premium reclining soft set with 5 year extended warranty from Ashley Furniture located in Phoenix Arizona about 2 years ago spending over $2500. The product worked good for a year and then problems started with leather peeling off in certain places. I reported it to the customer service, the customer service was rude to start with and then she told me that the regular wear and tear is not covered under extended warranty and left me hanging there. This is a total shocker for me when I spent over $400 for the extended warranty.
I do regular maintenance of the leather soft with leather conditioner and still it resulted in it. The leather is of low quality one and extended warranty sucks and not worth the money I spent. I would recommend all of you to avoid Ashley Furniture and Extended Warranty for sure.
LEDGEWOOD, NEW JERSEY -- Chair was left with packing materials clinging on parts of chair. No problem with delivery men but that's not a way to leave furniture after it is unpacked. Also, make sure you check the store's return policy. My Sister received as gift but couldn't use chair because of injury and wanted to return but was told that she could only receive store credit. The back of receipt states that refunds of money back can occur within 7-10 days.
BOZEMAN, MONTANTA -- I am sorry to have to write to you in these regards, but given the circumstances of the past two years, I have no other choice. My name is **. The account to what this is about is under my husband's name, **. I will be retelling the events for the past two years, since I am the one that has dealt with 99% of what has happened. I do not know where to start, other than the beginning. So, this will pretty much follow the notes that I have kept since day one.
My friend and I walked into the Bozeman Ashley Furniture Homestore (BAFHS) on March 8, 2006. She and I were there to scout for furniture so that I could take the ideas we had found to my husband for him to look at and compare to some other furniture we had seen. He works nights at the local newspaper so his weekdays are limited. We spoke to ** that day and she assisted us with getting the print out and prices of a particular brand, the Contour-Burgundy sofa, loveseat and recliner. She wrote the prices on the print out for me to take back to my husband.
On March 13, 2006, my husband and I went back to BAFHS and found a salesperson to help us. ** helped us, and went over again the prices, and started the purchase and delivery. We decided to purchase the Contour Burgundy sofa and recliner. We also purchased the 10 year Ultrashield Leather Program. Here is the breakdown: Recliner: 655.00, Sofa: 895.00, 10yr ULP chair: 69.00, 10yr ULP sofa: 99.00, delivery charge: 39.00, fuel surcharge: 5.00, total 1,762.00. Our new furniture was scheduled to be delivered on April 12, 2006. It was in fact delivered on that date around 3pm.
When the chair was brought into our home, I pointed out that the color looked different. The delivery guy (**), even my husband said it was just the light. BUT when the couch was brought in and set next to the chair, we ALL saw immediately that the chair was in FACT brown, and NOT burgundy like that couch. The delivery guys looked under the foot rest and double checked the number (4740727) which is what it said on our original order form that it was to be the burgundy color. I immediately called the BAFHS and asked for **.
** answered the phone. I told him about the chair and that I needed help. He told me that ** was off for the next two days, and since HE (**) was NOT my salesperson, he could not help me and that I would have to wait. I asked him who else I could speak to, and he gave me the phone number and names (**) of the customer support in Missoula. This began a two-year relationship with the ever helpful ladies in Missoula!
I spoke mainly to ** (until recently, to whom I have spoken with **). I was unable to get a hold of **, and because this seemed to be of an urgent matter to me, I called the Missoula AFH, and spoke to **, she took a message and was able to contact **. ** called me back soon after and we set up a time for ** (repairman for the BAFHS) to come look at the tear on the couch.
April 13, 2006. I took photos on my digital camera of the chair and couch next to each other and you could see the color difference. I had to take my camera DOWN TO THE STORE and show the sales lady that I spoke to on the phone the photos, because I had called and tried to tell everyone the wrong color chair had been delivered. I felt like nobody believed me, and that they were labeling me to be a liar because they said they had had no other calls about wrong colored chairs.
I asked to speak to the manager, and he was not there. She gave me his name, writing it down on the back of the sales sheet that I had to take along with my photos to show the label and serial number off the chair did indeed match, although the color was not correct. She wrote down: ** BZMN MGR.
** arrived on Friday, April 12, 2006 at 4pm. He checked the slice on the left cushion and he said he could repair it. I told him I didn't want him to repair it, we had just paid almost $1,800.00 for a brand new couch and chair, and that is what I wanted. He then checked the chair, which he agreed was in fact BROWN, and checked the serial number on the bottom of the foot rest, it was also indeed the correct number for the BURGUNDY chair. He said there must be some mix up at the main warehouse. He went back to set up a new delivery for the chair and a new couch.
May 6, 2006. The new and CORRECT color recliner chair was delivered with a brand new couch. The delivery guys swapped chairs, and took out the (1st) couch and then brought in the new (2nd) couch. I noticed right away there was a 3" gouge on the right front side of the arm of the couch. I pointed this out to the delivery men and they decided to SWAP the 1st couched right section with the brand new 2nd couches right section. This looked terrible because now I have a couch that the left and middle are plump and new, and the right section is all flattened out. I was tired of all the trouble so we left it how it was.
Around the 20th of May we received in the mail a $200.00 "refund" check from Ashley Furniture. I called and was told that it was for all the trouble we had gone through with the chair and the couches. I was still angry and upset at the fact that during the WHOLE TIME we had all these troubles, not one person EVER called us, not even our ("we can only talk to you") sales person, ** never even called us to ask us how anything was!! We never heard anything from him until June, 2006. We again, IN THE MAIL got a note card from ** - it read: "** (not correct spelling) & **, Sorry for all the mix-up. Please enjoy this gift card. Thanks, **."
In the card was a $100.00 Ashley gift card. By this time, I didn't want to spend another penny at any Ashley Furniture store. So, I drove down to the store with card in hand, and happened to find the infamous store manager, **. I told ** how disappointed I was with everything that had happened, and asked if I could just get the cash for the card, because I didn't want to put in another penny into the store. He told me that the card was not intended for cash, and it said so on the back of the card.
So I asked him: "So basically you have given me a 100.00 worth of nothing?" To which he replied: "If that is how you want to look at it." I left the store, never intending to EVER AGAIN set foot in ANY AFHS, and would tell all family and friends and any other living soul I encountered the trouble that we had gone through and suggest them to avoid the stores as well. And they all have.
Well as my luck would have it, I had no other choice but to once again call on **, AFHS Missoula customer service rep. Ten months later, March 2007. I had cracking on the sides of the cushions, tearing of material in the corners of the stitching, and fading on the leather that looked like chocolate milk, and tearing on the underside of the foot rests. (Yes I took pictures again.) She again set up another appointment for ** (repair) to come take a look.
He came a couple days later and took a look. He said it would take about a week to get the leather in to make the repairs, and about a week to make the repairs. I figured towards the end of March that it would be done. I asked him about getting a loaner couch while he did the repairs, he said that the store did not lend loaners. I asked, "do they expect for a family of 6 to all share the chair and sit on the floor?" He said it was pretty much "my problem." This was very upsetting, so I called ** again and asked why, she said she would make sure we got a loaner while they had our couch and were making the repairs.
March 22, 2007 AFHS came to pick up my couch and did indeed bring a loaner couch. The couch they brought was dirty and dusty and had cigarette burns in the cushions. We had to clean it up before we could even sit on it. They said it would be about two weeks to get our other couch back. 3-30-07 I called and spoke to ** to check on the status of things. He said they had fixed one cushion and had to wait on the leather to fix the arms and the foot rest, so it would be another two weeks.
Still no phone call, I tried to call and there was no answer from **. I called ** to see if she knew anything. She said that **'s notes showed that they had fixed the arms and they were waiting for the leather to fix the cushions. To top it all off, he was on vacation for the next two weeks!!! I was LIVID - I had talked to him two weeks ago, and he told me the complete opposite, and never mentioned a word about going on vacation. ** said she would contact ** and just order a whole NEW couch (#3).
May 15, 2007 New couch (#3) arrived, I went over it on all sides. No scratches, rips, tears of cuts. FINALLY - maybe the end of my nightmare! I wrote on the delivery slip they took back to the store that I would like documentation showing that I had insurance on this couch, they said I didn't need it since it was the exact same couch with the exact same number. TELL ME IT ISN'T HAPPENING.. AGAIN!?!?!
8 months later, Jan 14, 2008 12:55 pm. I find myself yet again with the same problems I had with couch #2. Tears around the stitching, cracks on the sides of the cushions and a rip under the foot rests, and the chocolate milk fading look. And now, the recliner is not rocking right, and is now leaving black dust spots under the chair, we looked and could see where the frame was grinding together. Now I have black stains on my carpet that I have to have professionally cleaned because I cannot get it out. UGH! I called AFHS customer service and was transferred to **. I left a message for her to call me back about the couch and chair.
Jan.14, 2008 2:57 pm. I call CS back since I have heard nothing from anyone. ** answers, says she is not sure why I would have been transferred to ** since ** is the one that answers the Bozeman calls. ** set up Friday 1-18-08 for repair to come look at the couch and chair. ** shows up on time, looks at the chair and the couch and informs he will be leaving AFHS and someone new will follow up in a week, he has to order the leather and the mechanism from the chair.
Feb 18, 2008 2:20 pm. I call ** back. I tell her that I have not heard from anyone since ** was here almost a month ago. She says it shows the leather was to be in the Bozeman store today (2-18-08) and that the middle and right sections were to be repaired or replaced. But she did not see anything about the under carriage for the chair being in or shipped. Was informed I would be getting a call with time and date for repair and replacement.
March 5, 2008 12 noon. Spoke to ** again. Told I have yet again to hear back from ANYONE. She says her records indicate that the material and mechanism is in fact at the Bozeman store but does not see a date set up for repair. I told her that when moving the couch I found some additional tears under the couch and on the back, she set up another appointment for the new guy (**) to come take another look. And apologized for the length of time it has taken to get this fixed.
March 5, 2008 12:15 pm. At this point and time, I am beside myself in frustration and anger. I called Ashley Furniture Industry Inc customer service (1-608-323-3377) to speak to consumer affairs. I spoke to **. I recapped the past two years and requested to speak to the president of the company or someone of that nature. She said she can't do that and could only refer me back to the store that sold me the furniture.
I told her that would not resolve anything, and that I have been having problems with that store for TWO YEARS now and have gotten nowhere. ** said she would contact the store manager on my behalf and she would contact me later. (As I write this, it is now April 15, 2008 and I have YET to hear back from **!!)
3-17-08 1 pm. **, the new AFHS repair man, arrived to look at the couch and chair. He asked me what I would like to see happen. I told him plainly, a new couch and chair, my money back, or for the repairs to be done in such a way that I would not be calling back 6-12 months down the road. He said he feels like "no matter what he tries to do to fix the repairs, that it wouldn't be to my satisfaction, that in all honesty, the same result will happen." I told ** I appreciated his honesty and that I would contact ** and tell her what was determined, and take it from there.
3-17-08 2:00 pm I called ** after ** left, explained to her in full detail what had expired. She said she spoke to ** and he felt that there were too many things on the couch and chair that needed to be fixed. ** said she would email ** (Bozeman store manager) and tell him that ** and I would be back in the store to do a "re-select."
** told me that we could spend up to the amount we spent in total of our other purchase (1762.00). I asked about the delivery charges and insurances, she said we would not be penalized for either. And that if we couldn't find anything, our options were limited to either other furniture such as a bedroom set or an in-store credit of $1762.00. She said the final decision would be up to ** and also said we wouldn't be penalized the $200.00 that we had received two years ago. I received the email 3-18-08 at 3:48 pm and I made a copy for my files.
3-18-08 3:37 pm. I called the Bozeman AFHS to speak to ** about the re-select and email. He was not in, so I spoke to **, she said Tuesdays were ** day off. I told her about the re-select and the email ** sent to him. She said she will speak to him and give him the message and whether he or she would call me sometime on Wed. 3-19-08. I gave her a couple choices we had seen online and asked for the prices, she called back and told me. 3-19-08 6 pm, no phone calls from AFHS, and I just wasted an entire day waiting for a call!!
3-21-08 4:00 pm Friday. My husband and I went down to the Bozeman AFHS to go look for new couch and chair. We walked in and asked for **, was told she would be at the back of the store at the desk. She was, and I introduced us. I asked if ** was available, and she said he was in Helena for a meeting. I asked if ** got the email, and she was unaware if he had, so I took out my copy and showed her! She went and got ** to be our sales rep. We took some time looking and asked for some prices. We finally made a choice for the Navigator/saddle couch and recliner. They were cheaper than what we had paid for the Contours.
I was at the desk as they did the sale, and I reiterated to them that ** had told me over the phone that we were not supposed to get charged for delivery or charged higher for the insurance. Since Ashley no longer used the Ultrashield leather Program, and were now using Montage Fabric Only Plan. On several occasions, ** both called to speak to ** and asked a couple questions (how conveniently is seemed he got disconnected so many times). They said we had to pay the full price on the insurance because it was a different insurance (and I again told them, THAT was NOT what I was told from **).
** call ** again, I tell my husband that we will have a 252 credit, so he should look at some end tables or something. ** tell me, that NO we will not have a credit. That is doesn't matter how much or how little of a balance we have left, that it will NOT be an in store credit. My husband tells them that that is "bs" and I explain to them that ** said we would have in-store credit if we didn't go over what we paid before.
They again try to call **, say something, and look at each other and say to call **. ** tried calling and nobody answered. I told them I would be calling ** as well, I called on my cell phone and left a message and said I would call Monday morning (3-24). They give us a sale receipt with a delivery date set for April 12, 2008. 3-24-08 8:30 am Monday. Called **, and let message asking for her to please call me.
3-24-08 10:30 am I called ** back and got a hold of **. She informed me ** was on vacation until Thursday (3-27-08). I told her I had a problem that needed fixed now! I explained what ** and I talked about regarding the re-select, she saw the email ** sent to **, and CONFIRMED that it was STORE-WIDE POLICY regarding in store CREDIT!! She said she will send an email to ** and the general store manager, **. I again requested that I be Cc'd to it, because had I not had the other email, ** probably wouldn't have believed a word I said last week when we were there.
We went over the numbers again and she confirmed we should have a $252.00 credit. She said she will contact me after she sends the email later today. 3-24-08 3:10 pm. No word from **, called and left message. 3-25-08 9:00 am. I checked my email and saw the email ** said she would send out, she also sent an apology email explaining that she had gone home ill after speaking to me on the phone. I again, made a copy of this and put in my AFHS folder/file along with these TWO YEARS of notes. Don't worry, we are ALMOST done!
4-10-08 11:00 am. I called BAFHS and speak to ** again and ask to confirm the delivery state of 4-12-08 for the new couch and furniture. I was supposed to go out of town, but had changed plans due to the delivery. She said she saw a different delivery time for the following week but was uncertain of the exact date and time, so we set the 16th for the new delivery and she told me to call back next week to confirm! So again, I had to change my ENTIRE week of school appointments for IEP meetings for my kids and doctors appointments because I didn't know, and AFHS didn't know for sure when or at what time my furniture was to be delivered.
4-15-08 10:45 am. I call again and speak to ** to confirm the time and date for delivery. She again, looks on the computer and says that it was pushed back until the 22nd of April!!! I AM BEYOND LIVID!!! I am at my wit's END with this ** store!!! I WANT OUR FULL AMOUNT BACK so we can go someplace else and get the service that this store has NOT ONE TIME in TWO FRIGGIN YEARS shown us!!! I want to talk to someone who can actually DO SOMETHING!! I am NOT going to continue doing this for the next 5 years every 6-8 months because my furniture needs to be repaired, or whatever else may go wrong.
I called the Missoula AFHS and spoke to ** and told her my dealings with the Bozeman store. She gave me the number for the corporate office in Missoula (**) she said ** is the general office manager for all the stores, and ** is the General regional manager of all the Montana Ashley Furniture Homestores. I repeated the phone number, and she said she gave me the wrong one, and that (**) was actually the correct number to call. I will call them in the morning to confirm if either of them are correct.
I have had to make phone calls after phone calls after phone calls to make sure the delivery times was correct, or to get it tracked down, or to find out what was going on, or to call customer service with nothing but complaints after complaints.I just can't do it anymore!!
4-15-08 10:55 am. I call customer service again, to try to speak with **, I finally get a hold of **. I tell her what happened since the re-select, and about the delivery on the 12th, then set for the 16th, and now it won't even be in the store until the 22nd.I am SOBBING while talking to her. I am so STRESSED out over all the problems over the past two years, that it has now brought ME TO TEARS!! I told her I want to speak to someone of higher authority whether it is ** I just want this nightmare to finally be over!
I told her I would send this to her, so that she can pass it along to both **. I have asked for the Cc to me as well, just so I know that it was indeed sent, and that this matter will and should be dealt with swiftly. God knows we have put up with more than enough over the past two years!! I have saved all the photos I took of the chair and couch. Since April 12, 2006! If you need for me to send any of these to you, please let me know, and I will be more than glad to do so.
Follow up notes: Wed. 4-16-08. I called ** at the AFHS in Missoula and left him a message. He did return my call. I told him I didn't know what to do at this point, and that the only option we feel we have is to request our money back. He asked "What do you want to do"... (now that I think about it.. he should have been asking me... what can WE do for YOU)... I told him I can't trust that if we get new furniture that we won't be calling again in the next couple of months because something needs fixed, or something was torn prior to delivery... I told him we feel we have the only choice to ask for our money back. *good grief I am crying again*
He said he apologized for our troubles and is sorry that we feel this way. (How would he feel?!) I asked him "I am sure you wouldn't accept this to happen to your wife, or mother, sister or friends would you?" He said no, he wouldn't. He took his own notes during our conversation, and I took mine as I have done the past two years. He informed me that 4 of the 5 people I had mentioned in my email either retired or no longer work for AFHS. (Is he implying that I am making all this up?) And that they can't really collaborate the issues to which I have accused.
I told him that I kept notes and took photos, that I in FACT HAVE the very FIRST photos of the wrong color chair and the cut on the cushion delivered 4-12-06!! He said "you do?" and I asked if he wanted me to email them to him I would! He said that he would see to it that we got our money back. He said that he had to go to Spokane on Thursday, so he would be back on Friday to get this going. He had to talk to the girls in accounting as well.
I asked how "this" was going to work. Are they going to issue the check and as soon as I get it, they can come get the furniture, or what? He said NO, they can no longer do that, that they have problems in the past with doing it like that, and the customers would destroy the furniture before AFHS could pick it up. (So after my TWO YEARS of trouble... they can't "HELP" us a little until we had the money to get new furniture ordered?!)
I explained to him that the money they refund us is going towards new furniture... we had to wait until we got our taxes two years back JUST so we could get new furniture... we are NOT made of money... we live pay check TO pay check... it isn't like we have thousands, or even hundreds of dollars sitting in the bank or credit cards! He said he will call me back on Friday (4-18-08). I think I am going to ask if they can make a little exception... or maybe issue the check, send it to the Bozeman store, when they get it, I will MAKE myself available for them to come do a 'swap" of the check for the furniture. I would THINK that THAT could be the LEAST they could do!!
Well, it is Thursday night (4-17-08) I guess we will see if he follows through... is my saga almost over?? Or will I be furniture-less until they decide to actually send the check? Or will they even send it? Or will they hold it until they get the furniture, and decide that we won't be getting our full $1762 like he already told me I would be getting??? If I could predict the future, I certainly wouldn't be sitting here writing this frigging NOVEL!!
I decided to call around to a couple other furniture stores here in town to find out if we purchased furniture how long it would take to get it.. because if AFHS is going to take the furniture before we get the money back in order to BUY new furniture.. we will be sitting on the floor (for however long it takes), and spoke to a person that used to work at the Bozeman AFHS within the past two years.
I told her the problems we had had, and the furniture we had... she said she had left the store because of the non-truthfulness that surrounded the store and also told me that the Contour furniture has basically a 3 year "life span!" When I told her that I had spoken to the Missoula headquarters manager, and said to him, "I can't TRUST anybody from AFHS" her reaction was: "EXACTLY!!!" So... now I wait... but while I wait, I have another fish to fry with Vann's and my one year old (#2 washer from Vann's in two years) washer... but THAT is a WHOLE other story!!!
May 3. 2008 NO CHECK!!! I was told I would have the check today, and of course not I didn't! **!! I had to call and talk to ** and the BAFHS and she didn't know what was going on, said she would call me back. I ended up calling Corporate in Missoula, and ** were available, seems they both were at lunch and would be back in an hour.
2pm. Calling back to speak to **. Well, now I have been told that both of them are gone for the rest of the day!! Convenient for them! I was told by ** from the Bozeman store that I could call back to corporate and speak to **. So I called her. She said she didn't get the check put on her desk until Wednesday, and she apologized for not getting it out in the mail. So she will FedEx it overnight and I should get it on Saturday. May 3, 10 am. I GOT THE CHECK!!! My ties with the damn store are finally over!! Good Luck to any of you that might be going through this. Make sure you keep good documents, and take photos!!
I finally received my FULL AMOUNT PAID reimbursed today. I will NEVER again step foot into an Ashley Furniture store, and I will forever tell my story...one voice will echo!
WEBSTER, TEXAS -- Procured two power recliners from Ashley furniture in Webster, TX on April 14,2012 and paid cash. During the purchase I inquired about the reliability of the motors and drive systems in the chairs. The store manager assured me that the motors and mechanisms were A+ and would probably outlast the recliners. Minimal use and less than 2 weeks later both motors have failed. Numerous calls were made to speak with the store manager who is always in a meeting and never calls back which have added insult to injury. The customer service people are only providing basic service and do not take any extra effort to help.
These recliners are junk. It might be acceptable as a fluke if only 1 had failed but two in less than two weeks is not a fluke - it's junk. I want to return these for full credit but Ashley refuses. Now I am told replacement motors will be shipped to me within 7-14 days then they will schedule a tech to come fix. Thus it will take longer to fix than I have had the furniture totally unacceptable. I highly recommend that you steer clear of Ashley and go to a more customer oriented furniture store that sells reputable furniture not this junk.
I liked the idea of buying furniture from Ashley because it is made here. What a joke!!! We purchased the set in September from Roomful Express. It took forever to get it because it was supposedly ordered for us. We received it in November 2010 and it was not working properly. Apparently Ashley does no quality check before it leaves the factory. Our chair had no power pack and the sofa one didn't work. We also failed to receive the warranty "bible" that is filled with legalese allegedly relieving Ashley Furniture from any and all warranty claims.
About 2 weeks ago, the sofa was reclined (with me in it) and it got stuck. I had to climb out of it, which frankly is no fun at 50. I called RE and asked to have it fixed because I had company coming in a few days. They told me they could not do anything for me for 2 weeks!!! I asked for a loaner and they acted like I was crazy. We are talking about a $1,500 set of furniture here. Today, they came to fix it. Of course, the guy had no parts and has to order them. It will take 3 WEEKS to get them.
So I have to wait 5 weeks to get my couch fixed. He supposedly gave us the number for AF, but it was actually their own customer service phone. I looked up Ashley online and called. The first person transferred me to a woman in Lord knows what department. I've never talked to someone so frustrating. She told me it was clearly stated in the warranty (which I didn't get) that AF is not responsible for their product once RE took possession of it and that they were trying to fix it. I asked her if 5 weeks was reasonable to her, but she refused to answer. She kept telling me that something WAS being done, so I gathered I was just supposed to accept this and shut up.
ASHLEY FURNITURE REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCTS. Giving someone else authority to warrant on your behalf is NOT customer service. Especially when the agent does such a frankly lousy job. To top it off, I asked to speak to a manager. She puts me on hold, gets back on and says "she's not available." No surprise there, which I told her. She asked if I wanted the manager's voicemail and I said yes. Of course, when she transferred me, I got disconnected.
This is supposed to be an American firm, not some third world country where they've never heard of customer service. I will never buy from AF again and I'm in the process of telling everyone I know. It's already on my FB page and I have several friends on Twitter who I've told as well.
SPOKANE, WASHINGTON -- I bought this and as I was going to show the salesman the chair I wanted (after I described it) he said He knew which one and to go ahead and sit at the counter and he would be there in a moment. I bought the furniture (a sofa too) with no problem. They didn't check to see if I had a job for sure even (I do but???). Two days after the furniture came the recliner locked up and wouldn't recline. I called the store. The receipt I had said all sales final because I thought it was a sale. But that doesn't mean they can deliver a defective piece of equipment and not fix it. Even the paperwork I got said that floor models have a manufacturer's warranty.
They told me that since it was a floor model that the warranty was void. I didn't even know I bought a floor model!!! The salesman said that they had the furniture in the warehouse there. I would never buy a recliner that was a floor model. It doesn't even say floor model on the receipt but I got a hard time from the store employee who said that they are not responsible for fixing it. Well I also got told after I asked about the manufacturer's warranty that they did not have the number for the manufacturer that I would have to look it up online. I found out later that the store holds the warranty.
The warehouse not the store gave me the number to a place in Texas who gave me more run around. I called customer service in Wisconsin finally and got unsympathetic ears that floor models have no warranty. Again I have no paper saying I have a floor model. Page five of the warranty booklet apparently has this info but I never got this pamphlet.
Crooks with defective equipment. The store employee did offer to come out and fix it (a salesman). I thought if he tampers with it and I find a warranty it will be void for sure. Eventually with enough screaming and calling the same employee called me and said he would have a technician call in 4 days when they are available to come out and look at it as there is a year warranty. Well I will be glad to see them and will report back if I don't. Have doubts as to the quality of this furniture.
Two of the four recliners on my sofa and loveseat have broken. I am out of warranty and am willing to pay to have them fixed. I went into the Henderson, NV store and after I said my furniture was 8 years old was told that I could still have them serviced. I needed to pay a $45 trip fee to see what was wrong and if they could fix them and I said fine. Today when I got the service call, the customer service line said they could not work on them because they were out of warranty. I told them I realize that and I am will to pay for the repairs.
She continued to say they cannot work on them because they were out of warranty. I told her I thought they were missing a profit center for repairing furniture and she said I was crazy that they would not make money if they had to replace the furniture. I asked her why they would need to replace the furniture if it was out of warranty and she changed brought the conversation back to they cannot repair the items due to them being out of warranty. I also said "I believe you don't fix furniture out of warranty because you want people to buy new furniture."
I told her that once your car goes out of warranty you take it back to the dealership and pay for repairs, you don't buy a new car. It was totally over her head. She didn't understand the concept of making money off repairs. I told her she needs to make sure the stores aren't taking the service fee ($45) upfront if they cannot do the work.
Now I have to go through the hassle of getting my $45 back. They also couldn't refer me to someone who could fix the furniture locally, once again making me believe they only want me to buy new furniture which I will never do with them again. Customer service is awful.
I bought a Sonoma Brown Leather couch and recliner from Ashley. Before the year was up, my husband told me to call them about the discoloration and sagging. I did. Guess what? Took them a year to come out. 2 months later, the same thing. THEIR REP CAME OUT, AND JUST WALKED IN. OF course, ASHLEY denied this. But I told him, "LOOK, somethings wrong." He replied, "I did not do any wrong." I am now sitting on the floor on the middle cushion on my couch for 10 months.
Managers were also rude, done with it. Who is Monarch? The one who takes over Ashley's warranty? No one tells, Well, I just found out the Sonoma brown leather couch is not, hear me, NOT LEATHER. Leather really does not do this. IT does not DISCOLOR. They told me it was my abusive children. I do not have children. I am 60. I was nice, even though my husband may have not been to their representative He was rude. Then my husband was. You know, everyone can get up on the wrong side. Obviously, their representative did before we did. Never sign their papers either. Their reps will tell you it is about their work. Naught.
It is a release as I found out, Always say you are not satisfied. Never let anyone of them fool you. NEVER SIGN - ALWAYS BE DISSATISFIED AND NEVER TAKE THEM AT THEIR WORD. IT IS NO GOOD. Even their specialist will tell you after this it will be replaced. Who would actually want their fake furniture? IF anyone near Spartanburg would like to e-mail me my address is **. Also make a sign in your vehicles on this problem. I WILL. COLLECTIVELY WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I hope the best for all of us who have been fooled once by ASHLEY. NEVER AGAIN.
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND -- We'll I loved the furniture in the store. I got talked into buying an extended warranty which I thought was great. Furniture was delivered no problem. Once we sat in it for a while the love seat mechanical part was starting to come apart and angle funny when reclined. The couch reclining motor failed. Called Ashley and they said, "Sorry the extended warranty was for the fabric and not mechanical." They would not come out.
I called the store directly and spoke to my sales person. What a joke, he did not care, already got the commission. Store manager sent me back to corporate. Corporate said they could not help because it is over a year. I called back and spoke to corporate parts issues, they said they would send me a motor for free but I was stuck with the love seat issue. I got the motor and guess what it was the wrong part, go figure.
I called back and they said I needed to go to the store and order the part and would have to pay. I got fed up and now have a non reclining couch and a love seat that is a disaster. Spent over $1700.00 and have crappy furniture. I will never shop there again. I tell the story to everyone I know. Ashley does not back their product and does not care.

Major Section: PROGRAMMING
Below are six commonly used idioms for testing whether x
is 0
and zp
are the preferred termination tests for recursions
down the integers and naturals, respectively.
idiom logical guard primary meaning compiled code**See guards-and-evaluation, especially the subsection titled ``Guards and evaluation V: efficiency issues''. Primary code is relevant only if guards are verified. The ``compiled code'' shown is only suggestive.(equal x 0)(equal x 0) t (equal x 0) (eql x 0) (equal x 0) t (eql x 0) (zerop x) (equal x 0) x is a number (= x 0) (= x 0) (equal x 0) x is a number (= x 0) (zip x) (equal (ifix x) 0) x is an integer (= x 0) (zp x) (equal (nfix x) 0) x is a natural (int= x 0) (zpf x) (equal (nfix x) 0) x is a fixnum >= 0 (eql (the-fixnum x) 0)
The first four idioms all have the same logical meaning and differ
only with respect to their executability and efficiency. In the
absence of compiler optimizing, (= x 0)
is probably the most
efficient, (equal x 0)
is probably the least efficient, and
(eql x 0)
is in between. However, an optimizing compiler could
always choose to compile (equal x 0)
as (eql x 0)
and, in
situations where x
is known at compile-time to be numeric,
(eql x 0)
as (= x 0)
. So efficiency considerations must, of
course, be made in the context of the host compiler.
Note also that (zerop x)
and (= x 0)
are indistinguishable.
They have the same meaning and the same guard, and can reasonably be
expected to generate equally efficient code.
Note that (zip x)
and (zp x)
do not have the same logical
meanings as the others or each other. They are not simple tests for
equality to 0
. They each coerce x
into a restricted domain,
to the integers and zp
to the natural numbers, choosing
for x
when x
is outside the domain. Thus, 1/2
, #c(1 3)
and 'abc
, for example, are all ``recognized'' as zero by both
and zp
. But zip
reports that -1
is different from
while zp
reports that -1
``is'' 0
. More precisely,
(zip -1)
is nil
while (zp -1)
is t
Note that the last five idioms all have guards that restrict their Common Lisp executability. If these last five are used in situations in which guards are to be verified, then proof obligations are incurred as the price of using them. If guard verification is not involved in your project, then the first five can be thought of as synonymous.
and zp
are not provided by Common Lisp but are
ACL2-specific functions. Why does ACL2 provide these functions?
The answer has to do with the admission of recursively defined
functions and efficiency. Zp
is provided as the zero-test in
situations where the controlling formal parameter is understood to
be a natural number. Zip
is analogously provided for the integer
case. We illustrate below.
Here is an admissible definition of factorial
(defun fact (n) (if (zp n) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))Observe the classic recursion scheme: a test against
and recursion
by 1-
. Note however that the test against 0
is expressed with the
idiom. Note also the absence of a guard making explicit our
intention that n
is a natural number.
This definition of factorial is readily admitted because when (zp n)
is false (i.e., nil
) then n
is a natural number other than
and so (1- n)
is less than n
. The base case, where (zp n)
is true, handles all the ``unexpected'' inputs, such as arise with
(fact -1)
and (fact 'abc)
. When calls of fact
evaluated, (zp n)
checks (integerp n)
and (> n 0)
. Guard
verification is unsuccessful for this definition of fact
requires its argument to be a natural number and there is no
guard on fact
, above. Thus the primary raw lisp for fact
inaccessible and only the :
definition (which does runtime
``type'' checking) is used in computation. In summary, this
definition of factorial is easily admitted and easily manipulated by
the prover but is not executed as efficiently as it could be.
Runtime efficiency can be improved by adding a guard to the definition.
(defun fact (n) (declare (xargs :guard (and (integerp n) (>= n 0)))) (if (zp n) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))This guarded definition has the same termination conditions as before -- termination is not sensitive to the guard. But the guards can be verified. This makes the primary raw lisp definition accessible during execution. In that definition, the
(zp n)
is compiled as (= n 0)
, because n
will always be a natural number
when the primary code is executed. Thus, by adding a guard and
verifying it, the elegant and easily used definition of factorial is
also efficiently executed on natural numbers.
Now let us consider an alternative definition of factorial in which
(= n 0)
is used in place of (zp n)
(defun fact (n) (if (= n 0) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))This definition does not terminate. For example
(fact -1)
rise to a call of (fact -2)
, etc. Hence, this alternative is
inadmissible. A plausible response is the addition of a guard
restricting n
to the naturals:
(defun fact (n) (declare (xargs :guard (and (integerp n) (>= n 0)))) (if (= n 0) 1 (* n (fact (1- n)))))But because the termination argument is not sensitive to the guard, it is still impossible to admit this definition. To influence the termination argument one must change the conditions tested. Adding a runtime test that
is a natural number would suffice and allow
both admission and guard verification. But such a test would slow
down the execution of the compiled function.
The use of (zp n)
as the test avoids this dilemma. Zp
provides the logical equivalent of a runtime test that n
is a
natural number but the execution efficiency of a direct =
comparison with 0
, at the expense of a guard conjecture to prove.
In addition, if guard verification and most-efficient execution are
not needed, then the use of (zp n)
allows the admission of the
function without a guard or other extraneous verbiage.
While general rules are made to be broken, it is probably a good
idea to get into the habit of using (zp n)
as your terminating
test'' idiom when recursing down the natural numbers. It
provides the logical power of testing that n
is a non-0
natural number and allows efficient execution.
We now turn to the analogous function, zip
. Zip
is the
preferred 0
-test idiom when recursing through the integers toward
. Zip
considers any non-integer to be 0
and otherwise
just recognizes 0
. A typical use of zip
is in the definition
of integer-length
, shown below. (ACL2 can actually accept this
definition, but only after appropriate lemmas have been proved.)
(defun integer-length (i) (declare (xargs :guard (integerp i))) (if (zip i) 0 (if (= i -1) 0 (+ 1 (integer-length (floor i 2))))))Observe that the function recurses by
(floor i 2)
. Hence,
calling the function on 25
causes calls on 12
, 6
, 3
, and 0
, while calling it on -25
generates calls on
, -7
, -4
, -2
, and -1
. By making (zip i)
first test, we terminate the recursion immediately on non-integers.
The guard, if present, can be verified and allows the primary raw
lisp definition to check (= i 0)
as the first terminating
condition (because the primary code is executed only on integers).

Staff members in Cottage's Emergency Departments are there 24 hours a day, every day of the year, to help you. Their only motivation is to provide timely and compassionate treatment for those in need, and in that spirit, offer the following suggestions to would-be ED patients.
Make an assessment yourself.
If so, go immediately to SBCH Emergency, or to GVCH Emergency where you may be seen more quickly. The same group of emergency physicians staffs
both hospitals. If you live in the Santa Ynez Valley, seek treatment at SYVCH Emergency; you will be transferred to the other hospitals if there is a need for additional care.
Consider alternatives
Have realistic expectations.
Please understand why you may have to wait. Know that it's not because of a lack of staff. Lab, radiology and other tests take time, inpatient rooms need to be prepared as patients are discharged, and serious trauma cases will always take precedence. Don't bring the whole family with you. One person is ideal, and he or she can be assigned to relay messages to others. If you come by car, be aware that you will not be allowed to drive home alone from the ED if you receive pain medication. Please don't call the ED to ask about a patient. We cannot, by law, release information about your friend. Bring with you:

Kelly tries to keep Cardinals in first place vs. Rox
St. Louis' most consistent second-half starter tries to sway Central
The Cardinals turn to their most consistent starter of the second half on Tuesday at Coors Field as they look to remain atop the National League Central.
St. Louis remained in first place despite Monday's loss in Denver, but is tied with the Pirates and 2 1/2 games ahead of third-place Cincinnati. The Cardinals -- winners in eight of their last 12 -- look to take control of the division as right-hander Joe Kelly faces Rockies righty Juan Nicasio.
"It's fun, man," Cardinals outfielder Carlos Beltran said of the three-way battle for the NL Central. "There's a lot of teams who would love to be in our position, being able to fight for a banner and win our division, I think is a great feeling. Right now, we're in a good position and we have find a way to finish this strong."
Kelly looks to rebound from his first loss since June 5 in his last outing, against the Brewers on Thursday. Kelly has worked into the sixth inning in 12 of his 13 starts this year and has a 2.05 ERA since June 1 -- the third best in the Majors behind Miami's Jose Fernandez and Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw.
Nicasio takes the mound for the Rockies, who have dropped seven of their last 10. The righty is looking to get into the sixth inning, which has long proven to be key for him. In the 23 times Nicasio has reached the sixth inning in his 51 career starts, he's 11-2 with a 2.16 ERA -- including a 5-1 record and 2.14 mark this year.
Nicasio tossed five innings of one-run ball in his last start, against the Giants on Wednesday.
Cardinals: Expanded rosters welcome at Coors
Like other teams, the Cardinals have been able to take advantage of expanded rosters this month. Manager Mike Matheny said he expects the extra players to come in handy during the four-game series at Coors Field, but he won't overuse them.
"Always like having the extra arms, no question. The extra bodies, too, the extra rest," Matheny said. "But you never know if something's going to be an advantage or disadvantage -- every game is just the biggest game of the year. That's how we've played them since April. In that regard, we're going to do what we do on a daily basis regardless of how many games we have here, where we are, the other team. We try to be consistent."
• Second baseman Matt Carpenter's 51 doubles are two shy of Stan Musial's single-season record for most by a left-handed batter in franchise history.
Rockies: Cuddyer falls behind Johnson
Michael Cuddyer's 0-for-4 performance on Monday night dropped his batting average to .329 -- one point behind Atlanta's Chris Johnson in the race for the NL batting title.
• Left-hander Jorge De La Rosa (bruised left thumb) is hoping to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday and return to the rotation on Saturday against the D-backs.
• Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is hitting .471 (8-for-17) in his last five games.
Worth noting
• Current Cardinals and former Rockies outfielder Matt Holliday has eight homers and 23 RBIs in 28 career games against his former team.
• Carpenter has an eight-game hitting streak (.419).
• Tuesday is Kelly's first career start at Coors Field.

Monotype Baskerville™
- Designer: Monotype Design Studio
- Design foundry: Monotype
- Source: Monotype
The Monotype Baskerville™ font family is a transitional serif created by the Monotype Design Studio in 1923. It was one of several revivals that appeared during that era of a classic typeface originally developed by English type founder and publisher, John Baskerville.
Monotype Baskerville History
John Baskerville was a 17th century publisher who developed many innovations across different elements of printing, including paper stocks, inks, and typefaces. He was much admired by Benjamin Franklin, his contemporary on the North American side of the pond. Franklin– a printer himself, of course– popularized Baskerville's work in the Colonies, eventually making the Baskerville typeface one of the official typefaces of the Federal government after the Revolution.
After falling out of favor for a time, American typographer Bruce Rogers reintroduced the world to Baskerville's work in 1917 by using a re-engraving of original Baskerville punches done by French type foundry Deberny & Peignot in several Harvard University Press releases. The success of these releases inspired the many revivals of Baskerville's work that would follow, including Monotype's version.
Monotype Baskerville, which is attributed to the Monotype Design studio as a whole, modeled its version on a quatro of Terrence's Comoediae printed by Baskerville in 1772. It is a cleaner typeface than the original– the design studio seems to have streamlined much of the rougher characteristics in Baskerville's work, giving Monotype Baskerville a finer, more modern edge.
