Why did you choose this product?
The desk is an ok desk. I needed the dimensions for my corner. The whole ordeal was a nightmare as the desk top came damaged and there were no instructions or hardware included from Overstock. When they replaced the desk top they still did not include the hardware. I had to call Inval to get instructions on how to assemble. These directions are very difficult to read. Then when I finally got the hardware, 2 pieces were till smissing from the bag of hardware. After 2 weeks I am still waiting on the missing pieces of hardware to assemble this desk.

Horrible Upon opening this item, we found the pieces were not packed securely. Every piece was just carelessly thrown in the box without any packaging to hold it into place. Over half of the parts had finish scratched off of it. Also the hardware bag was spilled inside the box. Will not be ordering Furniture from Overstock again.

Love Desk, but a few flaws I love the desk, and it fits great for my home office. I will say the instructions are not as easy as ***, it took my husband quite a while to build but he did it. The 2 things wrong...the little shelf above the drawers didn't come with anything to hold up the back of it, I believe it should be like an L shaped piece like the ones that hold up the front Second, my keyboard tray keeps falling off. It's as if the tray needs to be a tad wider for the wheels to work properly with the tracks on the desk part. My husband is going to have to figure out a way to fix this. Other than that, I do love it!

You get what you pay for Although the directions for putting this together were thorough, it was very time consuming. It took about 8 hours total and the keyboard drawer keeps falling out, a drawer face will not stay on and the overall look of the desk is cheap. You get what you pay for.

Nice desk but awful assembly instructions The desk looks really nice when it is put together; we aren't sure yet about how sturdy it will be. Know, though, that the directions were impossible to follow. They had tiny drawings where the holes/parts displayed weren't even CLOSE to matching the parts in the box. We quickly realized we weren't going to be able to figure it out on our own, or at least not without days of aggravation and mistakes. It's a nice affordable desk, but unless you're truly up for tearing your hair out, count an extra $60 or so for an experienced handyman to assemble it!

Hello tootiredtothink, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, the information you have requested is currently unavailable. You will receive an email notification once an answer is posted. Have a great day.
The little shelf above the drawers didn't come with anything to hold up the back of it, I believe it should be like an L shaped piece like the ones that hold up the front? Second, my keyboard tray keeps falling off. It's as if the tray needs to be a tad wider for the wheels to work properly with the tracks on the desk part. My husband is going to have to figure out a way to fix this. Do you have any solutions for this?
Hello jbliven, you will be contacted by a customer care specialist. Thanks for shopping with us!

I think this might be the one I'm looking for but, what is the measurements of the area that fits along the wall. One side is longer thatn the other. Two wall measurements please. Thanks Sunblessed
Hello sunblessed06, I love this desk! If you view the second image, you will be able to view all of the measurements. The long back side of the desk measures approximately 58.5 inches wide and the short side measures 38.4375 inches long. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us.
There is a question below about the size of the computer storage compartment. However the answer that it is 19 11/16 " deep is the outside measurement. I would think the inside must be smaller considering the width of the back panel and the width of the door. Can someone measure the inside taking these things into account? My CPU is 19 1/8" so the inside measurement is very important.
Hello sharon1986, The inside is 8 15/16 inches wide X 18 1/8 inches deep. Thank you for shopping with us!
Hi, what is the maximum weight the desk can bear?
Hello ankon, I'm sorry Overstock.com does not weight test their items. Thank you for shopping with us!
Hi, Is there any way to NOT install the door on the computer storage unit?
Hello ankon, You do not have to instal the door when you assemble this desk. Thank you for shopping with us!
Hi What is the weight of this package? I'm trying to figure out if "engineered board" means particle board. Thanks.
Hello bkno1, the weight of this package is 40.16 pounds. Please feel free to contact us again with any further questions. Thank you for shopping with us!
So I ordered the desk and received the package today and it weighs ONE HUNDRED AND SEVEN POUNDS. I have to decide whether I want to ship it back.
Does this (or something similar) come in white?
Hello rdp115, These are the only white corner desks I could find http://www.overstock.com/search?keywords=white+corner+desk&taxonomy=dep32&searchtype=Header Thank you for shopping with us!
Is there a small tow shelf bookcase that matches this product?
Thank you for your question. Yes here is the small book shelf. #14020849. If you search "Inval" a whole bunch of matching items go with this desk.
Hello. I am considering this desk and my question is concerning cord management. I would like the desk to face the open... like in the picture and I am worried about where the keyboard and tower cords will be when they are set up. Is there a way to hook up the cords where it is not draped along the back of the desk? Thank you.
Thank you for your question. . Where do the cords go? - If customer is using cpu that is placed inside storage area (behind door) there is a cut out for cables to run thru to back of unit b. can they be hidden so they don't hang over the back of the desk? there is no place to hide on back side of desk ( ie: trough) as unit was designed to be free standing and all side are finished. I Hope this helps. Have a great day!

Men's Basketball announces the camp dates for the 2013 SMU Basketball School
Ulric Maligi Named Men's Basketball Assistant Coach
Joins Jankovich And Howard On Head Coach Larry Brown's Staff
Jerrance Howard Named Men's Basketball Assistant Coach
Joins Tim Jankovich On Head Coach Larry Brown's Staff
Tim Jankovich is in his third season (2014-15) as associate head coach at SMU after being named to the position by Head Coach Larry Brown on April 26, 2012.
In his second season, he helped lead the Mustangs into the national spotlight. The Mustangs went 27-10, earning a No. 1 seed in the NIT and eventually reaching the title game at Madison Square Garden in New York. SMU was in the top 25 in four of the last five regular season polls, being ranked for the first time since 1984-85. The Mustangs tied a program record with four wins over ranked teams and set a single-season home attendance record that included nine sellouts in the renovated Moody Coliseum. The Mustangs tied for the third-best turnaround in the nation, finishing with 12 more wins after a 15-17 record in 2012-13.
SMU finished tied for third in the inaugural season of the American Athletic Conference, going 12-6 with two wins over NCAA Champion Connecticut as well as wins over NCAA Tournament teams Cincinnati and Memphis. The Mustangs led the league and finished in the top-20 nationally in field goal percentage (48.3%, 18th NCAA) and field goal percentage defense (38.5%, 7th NCAA).
In his first season (2012-13), SMU finished 15-17. The Mustangs led Conference USA in field goal percentage defense (.395) (29th NCAA), which was the best since 1961-62. SMU also led C-USA in free throw percentage (.745) while ranking second in scoring defense (62.7). SMU's 8-1 starts and 10-5 mark in non-conference play were the best since 2006-07. The Mustangs' recruiting class also ranked as high as No. 14 nationally.
Prior to SMU, Jankovich spent five seasons (2007-2012) as the head coach at Illinois State, where his teams went 105-64, and made four NIT appearances (2008, 2009, 2010, 2012). He also won at least 20 games and finished in the top-three in the Missouri Valley Conference in each of the NIT seasons. They advanced to the MVC tournament championship game three times (2008, 2009, 2012), twice falling in overtime. He became the first head coach in MVC history to make the tournament title game in each of his first two seasons.
Before arriving at Illinois State, he spent five years as an assistant for Kansas coach Bill Self (one at Illinois and four at Kansas). During that stretch, their teams made five straight NCAA Tournament appearances, two trips to the Elite Eight and laid the foundation for Kansas' National Championship season in 2008.
In Jankovich's four years at Kansas, the Jayhawks compiled a 105-29 (.784) record, won three Big 12 regular season titles (2005, 2006, 2007), a pair of Big 12 tournaments (2006, 2007) and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in each campaign. In his final season at Kansas (2006-07), the Jayhawks went 33-5, and advanced to the Elite Eight for the second time in four years. The Jayhawks finished the season ranked No. 2 in both the final Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls. KU finished each season of his tenure ranked No. 16 or better.
In his one year as an assistant at Illinois (2002-03), the team finished 25-7, won the Big Ten Tournament and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Illinois was ranked No. 11 in the final AP poll.
For the past 25-plus years, Jankovich has played a key role in recruiting and player development. He is responsible for having attracted and coached some of the most accomplished recruiting classes in college basketball and has coached 24 current or former NBA players.
In addition to working under Self, Jankovich has served as an assistant coach for Eddie Sutton, Jack Hartman, Lon Kruger, Boyd Grant, Gene Iba, Bob Weltlich and Kevin Stallings. Other than Kansas and Illinois, he also served on the coaching staffs at UT-Pan American, Kansas State, Texas, Colorado State, Baylor, Oklahoma State and Vanderbilt. In addition, he served as a head coach for four years at the University of North Texas (1993-97) and two seasons at Hutchinson Community College (1997-99).
In his first season as head coach at North Texas (1993-94), his squad posted the second-biggest turnaround in the nation that year (from 5-21 to 14-15) and was one win away from an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. His team also made the Southland Conference Tournament championship game in 1996. In his fourth season, the Eagles moved to the Big West Conference. In all, his four years at North Texas comprised the second-best winning percentage in school history to that point (53-57, .482).
Jankovich guided Hutchinson Community College from 1997-99, going 50-14, posting back-to-back 20-win campaigns and national rankings both seasons. At Vanderbilt (1999-2002), he played a key role in turning around a struggling program and helped lead the Commodores to two NIT appearances in three years (2000, 2002). The core of Jankovich's recruited players at Vanderbilt advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2004.
One of the winningest players in Kansas State history, he was a four-year starter at point guard (one year at Washington State and three years for legendary coach Jack Hartman at Kansas State). In each of his three seasons, at KSU, the Wildcats were ranked in the top-20 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Jankovich played in nine NCAA Tournament games, advancing to the 1981 Elite Eight and the 1982 Sweet 16.
A three-time academic All-American and honorable mention All-Big Eight player, Jankovich finished his career at Kansas State in the school's top-10 in nine categories, including first in season free-throw percentage (.917) and eighth in career field-goal percentage (.510). In addition, he set the Big Eight Tournament record for single-game assists (14).
Jankovich graduated from Kansas State cum laude in 1982 with a 3.63 GPA in business finance and received his master's degree in radio/television in 1985. He and his wife, Cindy, have a son, Michael.
"Tim was highly recommended by Kansas Coach Bill Self, and I am very excited to have him at SMU," stated Brown. "The number and quality of coaches interested in coming to SMU has been tremendous; and to get someone with his experience and success as a head coach is invaluable."

At 68 or so I sold the R100RT for the reason everyone is talking about - mostly moving it around the garage and then out onto sloping gravel to get started down a long, fairly steep driveway. Tried a KLR and loved it for a year or so. Then on a whim picked up a VStrom 1000 and discovered it is still fun to ride fairly quickly. Now added an unfaired R90/6 and am happy again to be back on an Airhead. But now pushing 71, the day is coming to turn the Strom back into a KLR or similar. KLR is hard to beat, at least for those of us who have legs that reach the ground.

2008 ElectionsFrom the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses to the Nov. 4 general election, information graphics were a major component of the New York Times election coverage. Interactive maps on the nytimes.com home page and inside the web site were rich with information, but easy to navigate. SELECTED INTERACTIVE GRAPHICS
2008 Olympics CoverageIn August 2008, The New York Times graphics department published more than 30 interactive graphics covering subjects ranging from the Olympic torch to the medal count. The package included graphics produced in advance of the games, plus more than a dozen produced on deadline analyzing results from a vareity of events. Because NBC tape-delayed the showing of many events, these graphics frequently were readers' first visual picture of how a race was won. SELECTED GRAPHICS PRODUCED FOR THE NYTIMES.COM HOME PAGE
Flight 1549 Lands in the Hudson RiverWhen U.S. Airways Flight 1549 made an emergency landing in the Hudson River, graphics editors immediately began reporting what happened in the air, building 3-D models of the plane and developing an interactive graphic. The graphic was initially published the same day as the emergency landing, and updated over the next several days as more information was released. |
Skiing the HahnenkammDoug Lewis, a former World Cup and Olympic downhiller, skied the Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel, Austria, many times — and escaped in one piece. Here, Lewis plays both tour guide and ski instructor for a course considered perhaps the most treacherous in the world. |
Michael Jackson's Billboard RankingsProduced the same day as Michael Jackson's death, this graphic shows Michael Jackson's extraordinary performance on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and how he compares to other chart-topping artists like The Beatles, Mariah Carey and U2. |
Inaugural WordsAn interactive graphic published this January shows the number of times words were used in inaugural speeches. Readers could view the use of the word in context, and then read the entire speech, or compare the words used by every president to date. |
Twitter Chatter During the Super BowlUsing data gathered from Twitter's API, this mash-up shows what words people around the country were tweeting minute-by-minute as the Cardinals and Steelers battled it out on the field. |
Where Immigrants SettledAn interactive map shows where immigrant groups settled across United States over the last century. Readers can drill into more than 20 different immigrant groups and see the number who lived in each county in the U.S. at the time of every census since 1880. |
The Year in MarketsAn interactive graphic produced for the nytimes.com home page explains how 2008 became a dismal year for the financial markets. |
Mapping Parking TicketsA interactive graphic mashes up data on the number of parking tickets given on each of 80,000 blocks in New York City with a Google street map. |
The Danger of Digging DeeperAn information graphic explains the risks involved in a new project that attempts to harvest geothermal energy from hot bedrock in an area prone to earthquakes. |
Failed Prostate ProceduresAn interactive graphic explains how brachytherapy — a procedure to treat prostate cancer — is commonly performed, and how a cancer unit at the Philadelphia V.A. botched 92 of 116 procedures. |

3D Text Q: Is there a way to produce 2D text for inclusion within 3D graphics? A: See "Hershey Text in Mathematica Graphics" by Roland Jakschewitz at library.wolfram.com/database/Conferences/196. Using the public domain Hershey font descriptions, it is easy to produce machine-independent, scalable, and rotatable text that can then be projected onto Graphics3D surfaces. Here are a few examples of the more than a thousand glyphs included in the Hershey vector fonts. Here are two examples, taken from Jakschewitz's conference notebook.

A Golf Zen GardenMuso Soseki, a Zen priest and poet known as the father of the Zen rock garden, was born in Japan in 1275, and died in 1351 where he had created one of his last outdoor rock gardens. A Zen garden can create a feeling of space in your home or office - or impart a sense of order and a spirit of tranquility and calm. The gardens are a means to discover the sources and strengths of our natural humanity which, according to Zen teaching, is calm, sincere and capable of facing all matters in life with calmness and perfect composure. The indoor Zen garden is an enclosed shallow sandbox containing sand, gravel, rocks, or other natural elements. The main elements are rocks and sand, with the symbols not of water but by sand raked in patterns that suggest rippling water. Zen gardens are often, but not always, meant to be viewed from a seated perspective. Zen Rock Gardening is an ancient stress relieving activity. Zen Gardening helps clear the mind of the chaos associated with everyday business life. This Web site company offers indoor Zen Rock Gardens are for contemplations, finding truth and personal enlightenment while sitting at your desk. Check out their Web site to order a Zen Garden to suit your intertest we recommend the Golf Zen Garden. http://www.officeplayground.com/zengardens.html. This one is neat because not only is it a sand Zen Garden, but it's has a golf theme and features a flag stick, two small golf balls, sand and a rake. Zen Gardens may seem a bit silly at first, but they are really peaceful to have on your desk. It gives you ten minutes to relax and looking at it helps settle your mind. With the golf Zen Garden you can dream of that sought after birdie or an exciting game you have played. These would make a great gift for that avid golfer in your family or for yourself. There are many things that can relax the mind and body. In all things that zen can teach you it should relax you and calm your mind. These are all good things to use when playing golf. Relax with your Zen garden and take that feeling with you to the golf course.

That is, domain1 might authenticate via POP3 at pop3.domain1.com, whereas domain2 might authenticate via LDAP at mail.domain2.net, and so on.

It's May. And though the first round of the North Coast Section boys volleyball playoffs took place on a cold and overcast evening, a thought came to mind: wouldn't it be great to take this game outdoors?
High school volleyball typically takes place during months when folks want to be outside. Boys volleyball is inhibited, some argue, by the fact that it takes place indoors in spring when people want to move into the sun and fresh air after a winter of sitting in crowded gyms for basketball games.
One practical advantage of a move outdoors comes to mind: from a journalistic viewpoint, my photographic colleagues won't have to put up with the guff they occasionally take for using a flash during the course of a match (an aside: those who complain about flash photography during indoor or night sports are unable to see the greater good – - publishing photographs actually benefits the sport being covered. But I digress).
In reality, our high school sports plates are beyond full. Still, imagine high school beach volleyball. No beach at your school, you say? Well, just import some sand. Fun in the sand and sun.
It's a nice dream, anyway!

Dion Been Interviewed by Many 3-4 Teams
Oregon Duck DE/OLB Dion Jordan is a player who has been tied to the Jets in a number of mock drafts leading into the NFL Combine, and accoring to MLive.com, Jordan told a reporter that most of the teams who have shown interest and interviewed him were 3-4 teams.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
It makes sense. Jordan's 6'7″ height makes him a likely target as a long and lean edge setter that 3-4 teams look for. Jordan is flexible and fluid and extremely versatile, but he's still raw and needs to add bulk to match up against tackles. He was not all that productive in college in terms of sacks, Jordan is a good tackler and edge setter and with some added bulk could be a solid 3-4 OLB. That said, I do worry if he'll project to the Calvin Pace or Chandler Jones type of player …

Couple in the hotel room next to me keep fucking. When I hear her get close I call the room wait for them to stop and hang up. If I'm not getting any tonight then no one should.
You must be Logged in to post a comment
Who stops hotel sex to answer the phone?!
If you're going to be a bastard, be the worst one possible.
So that was you?
You're a dick
This might be a douche move but a truly epic one and for that bravo my disgruntled person!
I think that's fuckin brilliant.\nSay what you want but that is a very clever game to play, of course karma is a bitch so expect your next hook up to stick her dildo in your ass while you aren't paying attention... \nAside from the "ram"ifications good show old man
Ha ha love it
switch hands
That one is fuckin great.!!! I cried as I laughed
cock block..
Yeah but then after all that they guy over there ought to thank you. With that many close calls, she'll have an amazing orgasm. So cheers to that! Fail.

I'm sorry, but do you really think phone calls are going to stop her from having an orgasm? After answering about two times, I would think they would just ignore it. A ringing phone isn't going to stop someone from orgasming. :/ In short, they still win and you are still alone.

Sofia Vergara skit at Emmys called sexist
When comely Sofia Vergara stepped onto a pedestal at the Emmys Monday night, critics couldn't believe what they were seeing.
The "Modern Family" bombshell, wearing a snug Roberto Cavalli gown, spun slowly on that pedestal while Bruce Rosenblum, chairman and CEO of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, gave his annual speech about, well, something.
We never listen.
And apparently no one else heard him last night either because they were all watching the Colombian beauty rotate like a shiny convertible at a sports show.
Social media lit up.
"Always giving the viewers something compelling to watch – and incredibly sexist. And that was the head of the Academy. pathetic," tweeted @melsil.
"Modern Family wins every award it's ever nominated for but apparently that's not enough for Sofia Vergara to be treated as more than a prop," tweeted @samala_prosser.
Jezebel called the bit "scraping the bottom of the barrel. We have now entered the unfunny, sexist part of the program."
Vergara had a message of her own for the critics: "Lighten up."
"It means that somebody can be hot and also be funny and make fun of herself," she told Entertainment Weekly after the show.
"I think it's ridiculous that somebody started this — I know who she was — who has no sense of humor (and should) lighten up a little bit."

The Bee Gees' second R&B album, Children of the World, had the advantage of being written and recorded while the group was riding a string of Top Ten singles and the biggest wave of public adulation in their history off of the Main Course album. The group felt emboldened, but was also hamstrung by the absence of producer Arif Mardin, whose services were no longer available to them now that RSO Records had severed its ties to Atlantic Records. So they produced it themselves, all six bandmembers doing their best to emulate what Mardin would have had them do, with assistance from Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson. The result still sounds a lot like Mardin's production from the previous album, and the group was in very good form -- stretching out not only on disco numbers like "You Should Be Dancing," but also delivering beautiful soul ballads such as "You Stepped Into My Life" and "Love So Right" on side one, while side two featured a last look back at the older, more romantic Bee Gees sound. The album was also somewhat experimental in its way, making more use of synthesizers in a pop music setting than had ever been heard on a mainstream, commercial long-player before; not all of it works, because the technology wasn't quite perfected yet, but "Boogie Child," "Love Me," and "The Way It Was," as well as the title track were quite daring on a production level in their time, for a group shooting for millions of sales. Overall, the album isn't quite as beguiling as Main Course, which was a liberating experiment from start to finish. Children of the World is beautifully sung, but the group's sound changed here as well, Barry Gibb's falsetto now dominating the vocals, with Robin and Maurice Gibb moved out of center stage. But it's still one of the most enjoyably lighthearted albums in the group's history, and the dance numbers provided a fore-taste of their work on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. ~ Bruce Eder, Rovi Read Less

Communicating the need for context and "it depends" (Was: Does eye-tracking carry any real meaning?)
Indeed. The difference between the tone of the comments on this list
and those for the original post is astounding. A little knowledge is a
dangerous thing, especially when it is backed by "actionable"
conclusions from a "scientific" study.
It is tempting to dismiss pronouncements like this as clueless. But,
the number of people who are ready to rush off and follow them is
probably much greater than the number of subscribers to this list. :)
So how can we communicate the need to take any given set of "design
guidelines" with a grain of salt and apply them in context to the
wider community?

Today's Post is by Lori Woodward, Regular contributing writer for FineArtViews. She also writes "The Artist's Life" blog on American Artists' Forum. Lori is a member of The Putney Painters, an invitational group that paints under the direction of Richard Schmid and Nancy Guzik. Find out how you can be a guest author.
I'm a female professional artist who constantly struggles to run my business efficiently. Lately, I've been applying a project management tool called Scrum to organize my work activities and it's simplified my daily process into digestible morsels. Scrum - a rugby term, where the players pass the ball back and forth on their way to the goal, is now the name of a methodology geared for software programming teams. I won't go into the history of it and how it's used for software development, we'll skip all that -- getting right to how I am using it to organize my art and business tasks.
My husband is a software developer; when I asked him for help in managing my art business, he suggested that I use Scrum techniques to help me meet my goals more efficiently. What I discovered -- Scrum helps me simplify and focus my activities so I don't feel overwhelmed.[1]
Scrum is designed for a team of players - one or two project leaders and a work crew of 5-9 developers. The problem with applying these techniques to my art business is that I'm the work crew, the project manager, and the project organizer. Additionally, I am the shipping department, the advertising department, the writer, bookkeeper, and a part time housewife. It doesn't take a genius to see that I need to work 24 hours a day or hire help.[2]
If it takes a village to raise a kid, it certainly takes a team to run an art business. [3] Personally, I don't think I'll ever reach my goals if I try to fill all of the roles listed above - and mind you, I'm trying to do all of them perfectly.
So What is Scrum and How Can It Help Artists?
Scrum divides interests and work roles among several individuals. There are two types of players: Chicken and Pigs. The creators of Scrum came up with this analogy based on an old joke about a chicken and pig who decided to open a restaurant called, "Ham and Eggs". Obviously, the pig had a serious commitment to the project, while the chicken was only marginally "involved".
I, as the artist who must create my body of work and succeed or fail on it's quality, am the pig. If the paintings fail to sell, I am ultimately responsible. My art dealers are chickens. They provide the eggs, (space/venue) but they don't live or die on whether my art sells. My framer is a chicken - well almost anyone but me is a chicken. They are marginally interested in my success, but I sink or swim by my own efforts.
Scrum is a simple way to organize tasks into short, 1-4 week sessions (called sprints). I'll explain more about them in later posts. If you can get someone to be an accountability partner - who doesn't have any control over you but is a living person to report to, that will help you stay on track. He or she just listens (and is a chicken)... you file your task list with that person on a regular schedule.
Each day, you write down the results to three questions:
1. What did I do (or achieve) today?
2. What am I planning to do tomorrow?
3. What, if anything impeded my progress today?
Your accountability partner's job is to help you dissolve impediments... period... if you can't find someone who is willing to take on that supportive role, then you'll have to resolve these roadblocks yourself.
As my artwork continues to improve and I gain recognition, I plan to hire as many people to help me with the business side of my work as I can afford. Then when I have time to fully focus on my artwork, I'll finally have the time to fully develop as an artist. Hiring others will also create jobs and so improve the economy!
More to come! Next, I'll show you how to design your next "Sprint"... usually that means an art project, painting, or series of paintings.
[1]I think the reason why I am attracted to spending so much time on social networks is because I'm escaping the fact that I can't do it all by myself, so I spend hours in denial online. This does nothing to get the tasks done that will make my art successful, but it acts like a drug to mask the feeling of being overwhelmed (at least it does for a few hours).
[2] We artists rarely hire the people we need to run a smooth efficient business because it costs money. What business does not cost money to run? I've noticed that male artists either have spouses to handle the biz end of their art sales, or else have no problem hiring the best framers, bookkeepers, and agents/gallery owners to handle their sales.
[3] I think two smart and loving parents can raise children... I don't buy into the village thing. In Africa, many of the men have many wives and a ton of children. I am using this analogy because I really do think that we artists need to cut down on the work we have to do to get our product to market.

Italian artist featured at SMSU's Whipple GalleryMarch 19, 2014MARSHALL — Retired Southwest Minnesota State University art professor Ed Evans worked for several years to bring the work of Italian artist Giovanni Lombardini to Marshall.... hartman75I would submit that our exposure to regional and American artists is more easily attainable than opportunities to view the work of artists from abroad. Mr. Lombardini's style of artistry sounds interesting so I look forward to viewing his work. As for the art in the hallways, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » allenlyonThere are so many fine accomplished regional and American artists and the university keeps having these shows by European artists who really are not very good or interesting. A lot of them seem stuck in the 60s. Why won't the local university support showing regional artists and remove some of that old ugly art from the hallways? 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 2 of 2 comments

Lawrence Francis "Larry" O'Brien, Jr. (July 7, 1917 – September 28, 1990) was one of the United States Democratic Party's leading electoral strategists for more than two decades. He served as Postmaster General in the cabinet of President Lyndon Johnson.
He also served as commissioner of the National Basketball Association from 1975 to 1984. The NBA Championship Trophy is named after him. O'Brien, son of Irish immigrants, was born in Springfield, Massachusetts. When he was not working in politics, O'Brien managed his family's real estate and worked in public relations.
Early life and politics[edit]
O'Brien was born on July 7, 1917, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He learned about politics at a young age. His father, a local leader of the Democratic Party, recruited him at 11 years old to serve locally as a volunteer in the 1928 presidential campaign of Al Smith. O'Brien became a passionate Democrat. He earned a bachelor's degree in law in 1942 at the Northeastern University - Springfield Division, now known as the Western New England College School of Law. O'Brien was married the former Elva Brassard in 1945. They had one son, Lawrence F. O'Brien III, who became a lobbyist.
He was appointed in 1946, 1948, and 1950 by his friend Foster Furcolo to serve locally as the director of the U.S. House of Representatives election campaigns. O'Brien was appointed in 1952 by John F. Kennedy to serve in Massachusetts as the director of his successful U.S. Senate election campaign and, in 1958, to serve in Massachusetts as the director of his successful reelection campaign. Kennedy's elections were largely attributed to O'Brien's recruitment, his use of volunteers, and his development of a statewide election campaign.
In 1959, he built the foundation for Kennedy's 1960 presidential campaign by touring the United States. O'Brien was appointed in 1960 by Kennedy to serve nationally as the director of his presidential campaign. His election planning in key primary states such as Wisconsin and West Virginia convinced many in the party that Kennedy's Catholicism was not a problem.
O'Brien developed a new presidential-campaign strategy for the Democratic National Convention (DNC) which became the standard for both parties. He collected information about each convention delegate and alternate delegate, and communicated frequently with each delegate's liaisons. O'Brien was appointed in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson to serve nationally as the director of his presidential campaign. In 1968, Vice President Hubert Humphrey appointed O'Brien to serve nationally as the director of his presidential campaign and by Howard Hughes to serve in Washington as his public-policy lobbyist.
Committed to the principle that political parties are fundamental to the American political process, O'Brien was elected in 1968 and in 1970 by the DNC to serve as its national chairman. John H. Meier, a former business advisor to Hughes, collaborated with Hubert Humphrey and others to use Donald Nixon to feed misinformation to his brother, the President.
According to Meier, he told Donald that he was sure the Democrats would win the election since they had a lot of information on Richard Nixon's illicit dealings with Howard Hughes that had never been released, and that O'Brien had the information.[1] (O'Brien didn't actually have any documents, but Meier wanted Richard Nixon to think he did.) Donald then called his brother and told him that Meier gave the Democrats all the Hughes information that could destroy him (Richard Nixon) and that O'Brien had it.[2]
During the 1972 presidential election, O'Brien was the top adviser to George McGovern. During the Thomas Eagleton affair, his name was mentioned as the possible Vice-Presidential from replacement. This position later went to Sargent Shriver.
The DNC Lawrence O'Brien Award was created in 1992 by his family and the Democratic Party leaders to acknowledge the many years of service he gave to the party and his belief in the importance of volunteer contribution.
His first post in Washington was in 1948 as Rep. Foster Furcolo's administrative assistant. In 1960, he was appointed by President-elect Kennedy to recruit staff for his administration. O'Brien was appointed in 1961 by President Kennedy to serve in Washington as the special assistant to the president for congressional relations and personnel. O'Brien was also responsible for awarding patronage. O'Brien was a member of President Kennedy's inner circle of trusted advisers, known in Washington as the "Irish Mafia".
He lobbied successfully during President Kennedy's first year for the expansion of the U.S. House of Representatives Standing Committee on rules to ensure a liberal and moderate majority. O'Brien also lobbied for increasing the minimum wage. He managed President Kennedy's activities in 1962 on the behalf of the Democratic Party during its election campaigns.
O'Brien accompanied President and Mrs. Kennedy on their trip to Texas in November 1963. The trip was part of the strategy for President Kennedy's run for re-election in 1964. O'Brien was to join the Kennedys at the Johnsons' ranch following the President's speeches and fund raising tour through the state. After President Kennedy was declared dead at Parkland Hospital on the afternoon of November 22, 1963, O'Brien accompanied the President's coffin and Mrs. Kennedy back to Air Force One at Love Field in Dallas. While aboard Air Force One, President Johnson called for O'Brien and Kenny O'Donnell, another Kennedy insider and member of the "Irish Mafia", asking both of them to stay on and work with him in the new administration. Although O'Brien had never been close to Johnson (and many writers, including Johnson biographer Robert Caro, reported that O'Brien did not like or trust Johnson and/or had openly made fun of Johnson), he remained at the White House and worked for the new President. President Johnson appointed O'Brien to serve as special assistant to the president for congressional relations and personnel. O'Brien continued this service through 1965.
O'Brien was appointed in 1965 by President Johnson to serve in Washington, D.C., as the U.S. Postmaster General. O'Brien continued this service through 1968.
The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration Lawrence F. O'Brien Gallery was named and opened in 2004 in his memory.
NBA Commissioner[edit]
He was appointed in 1975 by the National Basketball Association to serve nationally as its commissioner, where he directed the successful ABA-NBA merger that brought the American Basketball Association into the NBA, negotiated television-broadcast agreements with CBS Television, and saw game attendance increase significantly. He continued this service through 1984. In 1984, the NBA Championship Trophy was renamed in the Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy, in honor of his service to the sport.
However, his league was troubled by public relations issues, especially after the merger. The NBA was looked down on by many fans and reporters, who believed that most NBA players used illegal drugs as well as other racial stereotypes. O'Brien pushed for an anti-drug agreement with the NBA Players Association in order to appease people and clear up this image, which was later reached successfully.
O'Brien also pushed for the league to move its TV contract from ABC to CBS; in the aftermath of this, ABC Sports chief Roone Arledge decimated CBS' NBA ratings via counter-programming. CBS later used a new contract to move around, show on tape-delayed coverage (most famously Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals), or simply ignore NBA postseason games.
O'Brien was also generally pushed by his staff into many of his good decisions, including the expanded All-Star Weekend, most notably by his successor NBA David Stern. Many consider Stern the driving force behind expanded (and non-haphazard) TV contracts with CBS and cable networks and the rise in game attendance, as well as several crucial issues that predicated the rise of the NBA in the early 1980s.[3]
O'Brien was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, located at his birthplace, Springfield, Massachusetts.

Murray Bridge Australian Sharp Cheddar
- 2 Comments
- Follow
The cheese department at Star Market in Salinas, CA said it got a good deal on this cheese, allowing it to sell it for $6.99 per pound instead of the usual $10. The label says its aged a minimum of nine months.
A white cheddar, this slices evenly and has a smooth rather than crumbly texture. It melts nicely and has a distinctive tang in the finish. I'd peg it at medium+ sharp. There is a sweetness to the milk that perhaps tones down the inherent sharpness.
re: Jon914
Thanks, though I'm not sure that I'd buy it again. The last bit went into Easter dinner's potato gratin and it served admirably for that purpose supplemented by some leftover bits of garlic and herb cream cheese.

Freddie (our cockerpoo) has been trained to "Speak!". He barks in response to a hand gesture and is rewarded with a treat.
When you are in charge of hiring speakers for your Rotary club, PMI Chapter meeting or Professional Development Day or monthly chapter meeting of your association, you want more than a presenter who can read PowerPoint slides in response to hand gestures. Having been around the block a few times (and with the grey hair to prove it) here is the criteria when assessing a speaker to bring to an audience.
1. Does the speaker have something to say that is relevant to this audience? You probably also have horror stories. I was in the audience where a fellow spoke at length about the importance of numbers. According to our speaker, multiple secret societies attach value to numbers and geometry. Many of us turned green with envy as the audience members sitting close to the exits escaped.
2. What is the speaker's experience level? Free speeches are often worth what you pay for them, although it is not always the case. A free speech might be appropriate for your audience, however, you want something of substance for $3,000.
3. If the event is a for-profit event, then is the speaker willing to share the risk and profit? For example, if your chapter meeting is looking to break-even and make a few dollars for the chapter, then is the speaker willing to help market the event and willing to get paid on the basis of headcount?
4. Does the speaker have a good track record, and testimonials from prior audiences. In my experience, when the speaker's marketing material says "Jane is an interactive and dynamic speaker" then Jane is probably boring her audiences to death. (On a side note, I observe that the longer a speaker's introduction is, the worse the speaker is.) University professors seem to be the worst presenters at conferences.
5. Do you have a personal referral. For example, when a trusted colleague tells me "I have seen Joe speak and he is very interactive and engaging" then I feel comfortable if Joe speaks to an audience.
I trust this helps you to assess speakers for your conferences, Rotary club or professional association chapter meetings.

Nope, still use XBMC. Don't have good enough hardware. I haven't tried out Atlantis on the Xbox yet, but I used it on linux, and it's pretty sweet. Especially some of the HD skins. You can run it on an Apple TV now also.
