About the ManufacturerInternational Concepts was founded in 1979 in Greensboro, NC as an unfinished furniture wholesaler, providing furniture to retail stores throughout the Eastern United States. Initially International Concepts only purchased and resold furniture products, however, it soon became obvious that profits and sales could be increased by assembling some of the products at their own facilities.

Amazing value
Katherine from Scottsdale, AZ – Verified Buyer
I searched high and low for dining chairs that were stylish, good quality and affordable. Since we needed 8 chairs, it was a particularly difficult job. And believe me, I left no stone unturned: I searched seriously every website, every store, and even my local Craigslist - for months - before I finally found these chairs on Wayfair. I purchased the unfinished chairs so that I could paint them a shade of white. They shipped two days after ordering (!), and they all arrived at the same time, about six days after shipping. And of course, shipping was free. How amazing is Wayfair! They arrived fully assembled, ready for a final light sand before painting. They are made of solid wood, so they have a nice weight to them. They are very well-constructed and all 8 chairs were consistent with each other. And they are comfortable to boot. I really didn't want to compromise on quality or style to fit our budget, and with these chairs I didn't have to. The only tradeoff was that we had to finish them, which actually worked out perfectly since we could choose a color to customize them to the palette of our dining room. We hosted friends last night and received nothing but compliments on them. I would recommend these chairs - and Wayfair - to anyone.
Comfortable not too country kitchen chair
Cindy from Lockport, NY – Verified Buyer
I recently purchased two of the Copenhagen Arrowback side chairs in black/cherry and when they arrived and we unpacked them we immediately ordered two more. I can't believe how well packaged these chairs were when they arrived. There was absolutely no way that the chairs would be damaged in shipping. The chairs are extremely comfortable to sit in and the back rails fit your back so well. The finish is wonderful, beautiful color of the cherry and with the black accents it fits in so well with my kitchen. I love the straighter lines of the back of the chair making it a bit more contemporary than the usual rounded back country chairs. I would recommend these chairs to anyone who wants a very comfortable kitchen dining chair for a wonderful price.
Beautiful chairs
Mariel from Wappingers Falls, NY – Verified Buyer
These chairs are solid and beautiful. They came fully assembled which was awesome and ready to paint after a light sanding. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 is because one of the 2 chairs I ordered arrived with a crack across the top of back of the chair. Now I have to repair that because the hassle of shipping these back is jot worth it. Besides that, beautiful chairs that should last!
A bargain!
Judy from New Windsor, NY – Verified Buyer
We purchased these chairs to replace kitchen chairs chewed by our almost year old Labrador. We didn't want to pay to much fearing the chewing might happen again but wanted to have something nice and presentable in our kitchen. We purchased 4 chairs and are very happy with the quality. The chairs came fully assembled in just 3 days! There was a imperfection in the paint on one of the chairs that was not worth complaining about considering the price and free shipping. So far, our dog has not chewed these chars....very happy!
Great buy
Barbara from Arlington, TX
The chairs got here so fast. Perfect condition, but be sure and read, they really need to be finished! My grandsons are all on the large side so I had them all sit in the chairs and they all said very comfortable. I'm short and they are very comfortable for me also. I want more, they are very sturdy too. Great value!
Jenny from Madison, WI – Verified Buyer
Love this chair! I'm always hesitant buying furniture online but these chairs far surpassed my expectations. They're solid, sturdy and very comfortable. I ordered the unfinshed chairs, so I'm excited to paint them and start using them!
Erin from Charlotte, NC – Verified Buyer
So happy with these chairs. Very sturdy and the curved back adds a lot of comfort. Purchased the natural wood to give some flexibility on paint colors. They came individually boxed and already assembled. They shipped fast as well. Highly recommend!
great chair
Emily from Carmel, IN – Verified Buyer
great, sturdy chair. definitely recommend. I bought this for a kitchen desk. I had a hard time finding a cheaper traditional chair. This was a great find.
Perfect for our spare bedroom!
mary from QUEEN CREEK, AZ – Verified Buyer
Fabulous unfinished chair! All joints were tight - looking forward to painting the chair to place in our spare bedroom.
Fabulous wolid wood chairs

UPDATE (October 3):
Adynew Alves has turned himself in at the Baltimore City Police Southeast District station.
Original release (September 29):
A woman wanted for an armed kidnapping in Lawrence, Massachusetts was arrested in Precinct 2/Woodlawn Saturday and awaits extradition to Massachusetts.
BCoPD found Stephanie Michelle Walker, 28, of Lawrence, Massachusetts at a gas station in the 6600 block of Security Boulevard after Walker called 911, alleging that she had been sexually assaulted by her boyfriend, Adynew Alves, 28, of Boston.
While investigating the alleged sexual assault, police found that Walker and Alves are wanted on open warrants from Massachusetts State Police. Investigators in Massachusetts say that last week in Lawrence the pair forced a woman at gunpoint into the trunk of a car and drove south; the victim managed to escape from the car in Taunton, about an hour south of Lawrence.
Walker is held at the Baltimore County Detention Center pending extradition to Massachusetts. The investigation into the alleged sexual assault remains ongoing.
BCoPD is working with the U.S. Marshal's Office and Massachusetts State Police to locate Alves. Massachusetts State Police say Alves (whose photo is included with this article) should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone with information about Adynew Alves should call police at 410-307-2020.

47 year old man | Phoenix, AZ, USA | Seeking women 35-46 within 25 miles
Now home in Phoenix. Glad to be here and looking for someone to enjoy this state with me.
I am a 46 year old, single, (never married) guy that has relocated most recently from southern California. I have been bounced around the nation with work and have lived in places such as New Orleans, San Antonio, West Palm Beach, Palm Springs, Utah, Denver, Chicago, Iowa, Columbus as well as other locales. I am happy to be back in Arizona and looking forward to getting out and enjoying our wonderful state. I love warm weather and love to get out into the surrounding area and enjoying it. I love to travel and enjoying constantly learning something new. While I miss traveling with my dog, I am looking for another companion for life. (Hopefully they will not stick their head out out the sunroof and bark while I am driving.) :) I am a pretty laid back guy that loves listening to good music and exploring life with someone. I am not looking for the quick hook up or simply dating around for fun. I grew up in the Midwest and I am proud of the midwestern values that were instilled in me at a young age. I usually work more of a Monday through Friday schedule and travel from time to time for work. I have returned to school last year and I am enjoying it greatly. I am also currently recovering from surgery so I am enjoying time in the gym as well as basic work around the house and backyard. I am easy to approach and enjoy meeting new people. Feel free to say hello and I wish everyone the best in their search.
Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing
Baseball, Cycling, Hockey, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs
I love the Southwest and Southern California. I love New York, Chicago, and Washington DC. I am looking forward to exploring more of the South.
University of Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ
Favorite Shows would include almost anything on the Travel Channel, A&E, History, Natl Geo, as well as BBC America. Favorite Foods include Italian and Mexican foods.
I enjoy a wide variety of activities. I like to get out and explore the city where I live as well as surround communities. Museums, Arts, Sporting Events, concerts, or even a quiet evening at home working in the yard can be relaxing and fun for me.

BollyCurry brings to you the first in our line of exclusive interviews with numerous Bollywood stars, old and new! This time, the hot seat is occupied by none other than Karan Kundra, the hottie who stole numerous hearts, including that of his co-star Kritika Kamra, through his performance in NDTV Imagine's Kitani Mohabbat Hai.
Keep reading to know more about the young lad and his upcoming Punjabi movie Pure Punjabi.
1. You were spotted by Ekta Kapoor on Facebook in 2009, after which you starred in Kitani Mohabbat Hai, if Ekta hadn't spotted you, what do you think you would be doing now?
I would have been a tycoon with offices around the world catering to the U.S. doctors. I also would have expanded my outsourcing business.
2. Your fans will soon catch you as Prem Mittal in your upcoming punjabi movie Pure Punjabi. How difficult or easy was it to assay the role of a Punjabi boy?
Laughing he says, "Prem is a rich, spoilt, vibrant college-going guy with dreams in his eyes. He lives in a fantasy world of his own. In fact, Prem and Karan share numerous qualities. Portraying the role reminded me of my college days. And doing a Punjabi film is like a dream come true. I play the lead vocalist in a rock band who drives BMWs, Audis and Jaguars, What else would I want?!"
3. Kitani Mohabbat Hai was a huge success and you received much love from your fans as Arjun. What similarities and differences do you see between the two characters?
Well, Arjun #1 and Arjun #2 were both characters penned by Ekta ma'am herself and no one can recreate that! Prem is the loudest of all the characters I've portrayed till date. He is funny, crazy, spontaneous, always happy, smiling, and can be quite naughty. He's nothing like the Arjuns, except the intensity in the eyes. Can't help that now, can I?
4. Can you tell a bit about your role in the movie and what the movie is about?
The movie is a story about four youngsters from different backgrounds that share a passion for music and want to form a rock-band. However, their parents want them to become professionals � doctors, engineers, etc. It's a youth story about how they fight against all odds to follow their dreams!
5. The movie is said to be a musical drama. Will we get to see a dance move or two from you?
We get a grin out of him again! He answers, "Shucks! The movie has 10 individual numbers sung by Master Saleem, Mika, Shahid and others and yes we do dance around in it! And there is also an amazing romantic song which I'm really looking forward to. It's a Punjabi film, how can we not dance?"
6. There are numerous newcomers starring in the movie alongside you, did you guys get along? Any fun stories to share from the sets?
OMG! It's a lot of fun. We're a bunch of youngsters and bond really quite well. To sweeten the deal even more, two of my closest childhood friends are in the film and it is also being shot in my hometown. So you guys can imagine what a blast it is! Plus the food is awesome!!!
7. Kritika's new show is going to launch in October, with it being her first after Kitani Mohabbat Hai. Since you guys will no longer be working together, do you anticipate any changes in your relationship with having less time to spend with her due to scheduling conflicts with you having your movie to focus on and Kritika her new show?
We've done shows separately in the past as well, she did Pyaar ka Bandhan and I did Bayttaab, but yes this time is a bit different. My movie will be done by the 1st half of October and then I'll have all the time.
8. Your fans have being waiting to catch you on-screen again, any message for them? Will we only get to see you in movies in the future or are you planning to return to TV again?
I never plan, God has a plan for me and I just excitedly jump along! So let's see what he has in store for me next. And yes, I would love to be back on screen again hopefully silver screen this time. So guys, please pray for me! Bless all of you!
And there you have it! Currently, his movie Pure Punjabi is set to release towards the end of 2011. Keep an eye out for more information and don't forget to check it out!

You find one thing to focus on which isn't the actual focal point of discussion and then call people who find your subject matter irrelevant to the discussion (which it plainly is) idiots when it's actually you who lacks the basic grasp of how a discussion works. I didn't dance around your post, I debated the points that you raised (as infantile and as uninformed as they seemed to be) using factual knowledge.
You are talking out your ass again. I boiled down what they were talking about and you cannot rebut it.
Answer these damn question. Oh no need, I provided the answers for you.
Are these games bad for children? Yes
Are these games marketed towards children? Yes
Do parents have a responsibility to protect their children? Yes
Does the constant barrage of these types of games make it harder and harder for parents to protect their children? Yes
I have a child, do you? I am constantly telling him no, no, no. Then I have to explain why I say no. Later I have to explain what the crap he sees at school from his friends is about. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.
The only tactic you have been using is that I don't grasp this. LOL! All you have brought up is the parental control feature on the xbox360. That is such a tiny part of the discussion that it isn't funny. And why is this? Simple bad parents make a impact on good parents from their bad choices.
Again when you can point to a study that says this stuff it good for children then we can talk.
You, on the other hand, seem to think that calling me a name whilst ignoring my points of view AND the facts at play that pertain to the discussion at hand as a platform from which you can seem informed or relevant. You're neither and you probably will never learn why.
Yeah because you are an idiot. Oh it was fine in all the other threads when you displayed your religious bigotry but the moment someone comes out and calls you what you are you want to get pissy? Grow a pair!
Your and my opinion on the nature of sex and violence in games doesn't matter here, it's a FOX News article that centers around Mass Effect's sexual imagery that is being discussed. If you want to discuss a matter that, as you said, has already been mass debated (a pun just in case you missed it) here 'many times' then make a thread and I'll gladly debate you on the matter. Otherwise stick to the subject at hand or take your own advice and shut your pie-hole (not that hard to spell properly when you try).
The topic is are these types of games bad for children? that is the topic. You don't like Fox News even bringing up the topic because you don't like how they talked about Mass Effect. Mass Effect was just the example they used. Mass Effect is tame compared to some of the games out there but the point is Mass Effect is very violent and contains sex. End of discussion. We have both played the game and know what it is about. And your only reply is "well xbox and a parental control feature". LOL! How shallow and simple do you have to be to think that solves the problem or removes any responsibility from the game producers who market these games towards kids. LOL!
You're calling me names because, intellectually, it's the best you can do.
Nah, I go after people such as your self who have a unique gift at being an idiot. If I had some respect for you I would treat you much differently. As it stands now you are just another demigod for gaming geeks.
I will allow you the last words on this topic. LOL!

A new year, a new North High School | GALLERY
First new Vanderburgh County high school in 40 years opens for business
Evansville now has what can truly be called a "North" high school.
On a cold, windy morning, North High School students and staff arrived at their new home on U.S. 41 south of Baseline Road. The unusual midyear relocation left everybody feeling like a freshman all over again. Even though students were led on tours in December, many still needed help to find classrooms and lockers.
"We're all on a learning curve here," Principal John Skinner told students assembled in the gymnasium.
"There's no such thing as a dumb question."
The high school shares a media center and auditorium with the adjacent North Junior High School, which opened in August for grades 7-8. It has a spacious foyer and a dining area that resembles a shopping mall's food court.
It has four classroom wings, including one that will be used almost exclusively by freshmen. That area is mostly off-limits to all other students.
"If you don't have a class, if you don't have a homeroom, you don't need to be in there," Skinner told the student body.
The "new" North has full on-campus athletic facilities, including a stadium that will be ready for football in the fall. But students have encountered one glitch — the ceiling in the school's aerobics room is too low for cheerleading practice, forcing North's squad to practice at the "old" North on Stringtown Road.
"We're working on that, meeting with the architect and the contractor to work out a plan," Skinner said.
The $85.8 million complex represents one of the largest taxpayer-funded projects in recent memory in Vanderburgh County. Its completion represents full implementation of the strategic plan presented to the community four years ago by former Evansville Vanderburgh School Corp. Superintendent Vincent Bertram.
Funding for the North complex and for recent additions and renovations at several other EVSC schools came from the $149 million bond issue approved by voters in November 2008.
School district officials chose to build the complex north of the Evansville city limits because, they said, that's where studies have shown residential growth has occurred in the last several years.
Although the auditorium is still not complete and shelves in the high school section of the media center still awaited books, every classroom was ready for Monday's first day.
"The North staff and EVSC staff have done a tremendous job to get ready, and the local workforce did a great job constructing this building," said David Smith, who last summer succeeded Bertram as EVSC superintendent. "I hope it's a facility the community takes great pride in."
The new North is the first new high school building in EVSC since Central High School moved from Downtown to First Avenue in 1970.
Smith said the school district has had "several entities express serious interest" in the old North property on Stringtown Road, but for now, the building sits vacant. The EVSC has not ruled out tearing down all or a part of the building.
Skinner, meanwhile, urged North students to be good stewards of their new home and to keep it feeling new for as long as possible.
Longtime North art teacher Jon Siau was eager to get the spring semester started.
"I like it," he said of the new school "After being over there (on Stringtown Road) for 40 years, I have mixed emotions. But this is exciting."

Re: BG's..they scare me!
I went in to WSG last night with my recently respecced Warrior. I went with a Mortal Strike build. He is normally a deep Prot build. I got my butt handed to me many times. My DPS/PvP gear sucks and I don't have the patience to build it up to be competitive. We won.
I then took my Feral in there and proceeded to own. I got one cap and was heading up our ramp to cap another, but a fire Mage's Ignite got me and drained me down. We won anyways.
I only played those 2 games, but I have determined to keep the Warrior as a tank and use my Feral for PvP and PvE DPS. I'm just more of a natural at Feral Druids than I am a PvP Warrior. I hate stance dancing, but shifting is like second nature to me, go figure.
For the freakin Horde bitches!

The researchers say changing them only when needed would prevent millions of painful procedures and dramatically cut material and labor costs.
"Of the 200 million catheters estimated to be inserted each year in the U.S.A. alone, if even 15 percent are needed for more than three days, then a change to clinically required replacement would prevent up to 6 million unnecessary intravenous catheter insertions, and would save about 2 million hours of staff time, and up to US$60 million in health costs each year for that country alone," lead researcher Claire Rickard, from Griffith University in Australia, said in a journal news release.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - A Bardstown man who allegedly came back from Florida and made threats to harm a local judge will have his case waived to the grand jury.
Bullitt District Judge Jennifer Porter sent the case against Douglas Matthew Patterson to the grand jury for possible indictment.
Originally, defense attorney Stephen Wright was hoping to have his client released with a mental evaluation to be done prior to the probable cause hearing.
HEBRON ESTATES - Mayor Jerry Clark can sit and watch his window and observe drivers who don't know how to make a proper stop at the corner of Garden Drive and East Hebron Lane.
If he was watching at certain times over the past couple of months, he may have seen motorists receive citations.
Leroy Lerding, a sheriff's deputy who is contracted to provide extra police patrol in the city of Hebron Estates, told town board leaders that seven citations had been written over the past couple of months.
LEBANON JUNCTION - Over the first 10 years in office, David Walker has seen many accomplishments both in the county and in his Fourth District.
With a desire to continue to strive for improvements, Walker has filed for a fourth term on Bullitt Fiscal Court.
Walker has three opponents in the May primary, where the winner will face a Republican opponent in the fall.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Establishments meeting the requirements of the ordinance will soon have an opportunity to sell alcohol by the drink in the city of Shepherdsville on Sundays.
After several previous attempts, including two in the past 18 months, the council voted 4-2 to approve the Sunday liquor ordinance.
The decision came after a dozen individuals spoke during a 60-minute discussion.
Some of the capacity crowd applauded, while others could only shake their heads.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Seven spoke in favor and six were opposed.
But all spoke with passion Monday night as speakers tried to influence Shepherdsville City Council members who would vote on whether to allow the sale of alcohol by the drink on Sunday.
At the end of the hour-long discussion, the Shepherdsville City Council voted 4-2 to allow Sunday sales in establishments with 100 seats and has an average of 70 percent annually in food sales.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The Bullitt County Grand Jury will be the next panel to hear allegations of murder against an 18-year-old Bullitt County man.
Bullitt District Judge Jennifer Porter sent the case against Samuel Daniel Harris to the grand jury and kept his bond at $1 million cash.
Harris is charged with the death of a four-month-old infant boy, Aiden.
HILLVIEW - After a lengthy investigation, three individuals were charged with drug-related offenses on Wednesday afternoon.
Blaine French, director of the Bullitt County Drug Task Force, said another police agency contacted his office to give some information on a possible trafficking operation.
Several complaints had been received on the home located on Overdale Drive in Hillview.
After observation of the residence, French said a search warrant was obtained.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - The man many have referred to as the best modern day politician in Bullitt County won't have to worry about passing out business cards any longer.
Incumbent Danny Fackler won't be running for a fourth term as "your jailer."
Fackler, 58, announced last week that he would withdraw his name from the May 2010 primary. Fellow Democrat Larry Ethington is the only other person who has filed but Paul Watkins has announced plans to run as a Republican candidate.
With the end of his term his year, Fackler will wrap up 29 years with county government.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A long-time member of county government is looking for another four-year term as magistrate.
Clifford "Buddy" Shepherd has filed for his third consecutive term as First District magistrate. Prior to his current tenure, Shepherd served Bullitt County as a deputy jailer, sheriff and magistrate.
"I know the county," said Shepherd, 76. "I know the people. And I know the roads."
FRANKFORT ee" The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) announced today that it is teaming with the National Football League (NFL), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and other state and local highway safety and law enforcement agencies to remind everyone to designate a sober driver if they plan to be partying with alcohol on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 7.

It was only after filling Younos up with sweet wine, cheese and dates that Hypatia broached the subject of his clandestine studies of the paranormal. Spirits were a good way to get young Younos to talk in a manner that was less than circumspect.
"Are you training in the old magic, brother?" she asked him, deciding that a direct approach was for the better.
He looked shock at her question, but his guard wasn't completely up, as he was tending to inebriation.
"Where did you get that idea, Adelphe?' he said.
"I've looked at your scrolls, Younos," she said, simply.
He started, and then was lost in thought for a moment.
"I know you practice magic, but I want to know what your designs are, brother?" she said.
He had a look that Arabian horses often got when they sighted packs of jackals in the desert. It was a look of panic mixed with determination.
"You entered my room?" he said.
"This is my house, brother," she said, keeping her voice even but very dangerous.
Younos understood veiled threats, so he towed her line just then.
"Okay, okay," he said, making a conciliatory gesture with his palms. "I'll tell you about those scrolls, Adelphe."
She nodded.
"I have been spending all my dinars on obtaining a certain strand of magic all these years," he said.
"What strand would that be?" she said.
"It is called Inanna's charm," he said simply, and then looked down at his feet.
She gasped. Inanna was the ancient Sumerian goddess of love. Love, not marriage. She was particularly known as the goddess of extramarital liaisons and sensual affairs. The goddess herself was supposed to prowl the streets and taverns in search of carnal adventures. Inanna's charm was a mystical amulet that endowed the owner with infinite sexual potency and a hypnotic hold over whomsoever he or she desired. Younos was blushing after admitting this. No wonder.
"Brother!" she said. Her tone was a mixture of consternation, condemnation and admiration. Consternation, for she hadn't expected that to be his target. Condemnation, for he appeared to be frittering away good money over something that was probably only a myth. Admiration, because he had backed his ribald ambition with everything he materially owned. "What have you been doing with your life!"
It was rhetorical question. He stayed silent for a moment. Then he went on.
"Adelphe, it is my dream, and I mean to accomplish it," he said.
Why? Why this dream? She saw no point in asking him out loud. Of course her brother was always ogling pretty girls, and his baby face didn't really make him a much sought after suitor among the opposite sex. That could be the one reason. He was always looking at girls but never sleeping with them. She wondered whether she should talk to a lovely Arabian prostitute she knew about 'helping' her brother with his confidence. The girl was known for her succulent breasts, and even had people in the Sultana's court as her clients. She decided against it. She had to learn more about his progress in the mystical arts.
The general's grip felt as though the hardest stone in all of Arabia had been carved into a deadly collar for her. Nadia felt her life force ebb away. He was moving his hand away from his torso with the lethal intent of tossing her into the abyss behind her, and in front of him. Her left arm, with a will of its own, found the general's scimitar sitting in its sheath. It was only an inch too low for her arm to each. She struggled, sensing that she was moving further away from it every blink of an eye.
She took a chance and leaned towards the general, feeling his foul, demonic breath on her face, and found the scimitar's hilt within reach. She pulled it up with the nail of her middle finger, and then grabbed the hilt fully in her palm. The general saw what she was doing. His evil eyes shot out beams of pure hatred in her direction. His arm moved fast, but hers moved just as fast and she sliced the scimitar in a horizontal arc in front of her. The curved blade tore his throat into shreds, even as his arm let go of her. He screamed in disbelief, as his lifetime of effort in wedding the darkest depths of hell were sliced away in one moment, at the hands of a mere waif of a girl. Dark blood poured out in a viscous stream out of his shredded throat, and flooded his mouth, and she heard him choking on his own blood. The anger and the sense of having been cheated in his eyes was ample reward for Nadia, as her feet plunged into the abyss.

Product description
In Power County, Idaho, all hell is about to break loose. Meet Yumi Fuller: Nicknamed Yummy, and as a girl she was. Even in a biblically severe environment, like Power County, Idaho. Until she was fifteen, she ran away from home. From her parents, Momoko and Lloyd Fuller. From her best friend; and from the man who had been her first lover. Now, twenty-five years and three kids later, this single mother and wayward daughter is about to return home to the fold....Lloyd and Momoko Fuller. Lloyd once ran the largest potato operation in Power County until a weak heart forced him to downsize. Momoko, his Japanese wife, is a gardener who can cause even barren land to bloom. After a lifetime of careful propagation, they have begun to feel the ravages of time....Case Quinn. The girl who stayed behind. Married a farmer, Will; survived cancer, took care of everything - including Momoko and Lloyd. But enough is enough....Elliot Rhodes. Former hippie and history teacher - now he's a PR flak working for a sleek Washington, D.C.-based firm that spins for agribusiness. But he's got a problem with potatoes - and a little difficulty with grass-roots resistance - which threaten to send him back to the last place on earth he wants to be....The Seeds of Resistance. A rollicking band of environmentalist muckrakers who travel the U.S. in their "Spudnik," a camping car, biofueled by french-fry oil, heisted from a highway McDonald's. They're on their way to where the action is, in their terms: a teeming community of spud farmers and all-American folks; and a place on the cusp of change, where neither potatoes nor much of anything else can remain as they have been.

What to Look for in a Hard Drive That You Are Purchasing
When you are going to purchase a hard drive, it is extremely important to look for one that is going to be fast and large enough to accommodate all of your files and data needs. Hard drives come in many different varieties, so there is a lot to think about when you are making this purchase. Similarly, hard drives can be fairly expensive, so they are something that you will want to put some thought into before you decide to just make any old purchase. There are also different brands of hard drives, which are designed for different types of computers. When purchasing a hard drive, be sure to get a brand that is reliable and going to offer long-lasting devices. It also important to choose a brand and model for your hard drive that is going to fit your computer or laptop.
Make sure that the hard drive has enough disk space to accommodate your needs
When searching for Laptop Hard Drive Prices, you should look for a 500 gigabyte or one terabyte hard drive, so that your data needs are accommodated for. You never know how much data you could accumulate in the future, so it's a good idea to prepare for any data needs that you might have later on. Hard Disk Drives For Sale come in many different varieties. Getting a big hard drive is a good way to secure a lot of data so that you never run out in the future. There are top brands for data hard drives so when searching for one, be sure to pick a brand that is well-known and credible.
Pick a brand for your hard drive that is well-known in the industry
When you're picking a hard drive, be sure to choose a brand that you know is going to provide a good quality device. Some hard drives are manufactured for different types of computers, for instance, there are hard drives made for Alienware, Compaq, Dell, Asus, MacBook and Thinkpad specific computers. This means that that specific hard drive is only going to work for the computer that you own, it won't work for any other type of computer. It's important to get a hard drive that is manufactured specifically for your computer, so that you know that it works and it will be very high quality.
Get a hard drive that is fast
How fast your computer runs is often dependent on the speed of your hard drive. Many people don't realize it, but hard drives actually accommodate for the speed of a computer. The way this works is because every time they do something on your computer, the PC has to search for those files on the hard drive. If it can't locate them very quickly, then the computer is not going to run quickly. You need to get a hard drive that has a fast speed, so that the files on your hard drive can be searched by the operating system very quickly and located so that your applications can be run in a timely manner.

Collard Greens
Sauteed collards are an easy healthy side that goes really well with Southern food, like my pulled chicken sandwiches.
- Prep Time : 10 min
- Cook Time : 15 min
- Ready Time : 25 min
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/2 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 bunch collard greens, rinsed, stems removed, and finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth or Vegetable Broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Freshly ground black pepper
Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet. Add onions, collards, salt, broth, and Worcestershire sauce; mix well. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally for 15-20 minutes, or until tender.
Season to taste with additional salt and pepper as desired.

This is my go-to recipe for collard and turnip greens as well as kale. However, I really think an error was made on the kosher salt amount. It is way too much. I cut it back to one-half teaspoon and taste-test when the greens are finished simmering. Also 15-20 minutes time is fine for well-cooked greens for me. Using the chicken broth instead of veggie broth enriched the flavor of the pot liquor.

I've just received an assignment to upgrade an old Delphi 3 project that I wrote in 1999 to a newer version and add features (I previously discussed this in related questions here and here). I was assuming that the appropriate route would be to first upgrade my development environment to Delphi 2010 and then port the application.
I'm now considering whether to upgrade the application to my existing copy of Delphi 2007 instead in order to avoid the Unicode complications. The application runs at a single company in the United States and is tightly bound to requirements of a single state, so it would not benefit from Unicode support.
My question is: would the additional hassle of dealing with Unicode issues outweigh the benefit of using the most recent version of Delphi? You may assume that I have no experience with Unicode.

George Lucas: May the Ford Be With You
The Force was clearly with the 11th annual BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel this weekend, reports PEOPLE. "Star Wars" creator George Lucas, 57, there to receive the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film, was flanked by his stars from long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away: Carrie Fisher, the evening's host, and Harrison Ford, the award presenter. Ford, 59, who's notoriously press-shy, actually cracked a rare smile and said, "It's an opportunity to acknowledge George and what he's meant to my career and what he means to the film business." Lucas, also a man of few words, said this award was special in that "I've made most of my films in Britain, so it's very special to get an award from the people I work with." The next "Star Wars" installment, "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones," which opens May 16, "is a bit of a love story, which is different from any of the other ones we've done," said Lucas, who promises "there's still a lot of action and all the other stuff. It begins its slide to the dark side, so it's a little tougher than the other ones, but it's getting us to the dark one, which is the next one." The evening's entertainment was provided by former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, though it was Eddie Izzard, now playing the role of Charlie Chaplin in Peter Bogdanovich's "The Cat's Meow," who provided the night's best line to PEOPLE. Asked if he was anxious to meet Lucas and another guest at the affair, Steven Spielberg, he replied: "Sure, that would be fine, but there's nothing worse than going up to people and hanging around and they go, 'Who are you, scumbag?'"

"I wanted custom address labels for my son's Superman themed birthday party and these were perfect. They look great and are of good quality."
"I used this address label as personalized labels for cupcake boxes to give as party favors. I selected a rich plum color and put my personalized message on it. The color, print and font was absolutely beautiful. I tied a purple ribbon on each box and it tied in so perfectly with the labels - will definitely re-order. Shipping was also super fast."
"I Love these return address stickers. They are so sharp, the color, print and quality look amazing. When my friends received thank you cards from my shower, all commented. I will order many more. Cant wait till baby is born to pick out tiny prints birth announcements."
"This address label made a perfect add on and personal touch to the cards. I'm actually using the left overs for other things."
"First, the labels arrived earlier than expected. The quality of the paper, print, and design was exactly how I saw it online. Since I needed to attach these labels with ribbon to See's lollipops-it was the perfect size. I placed these party favors into a Tiffany Blue pot and it was a hit at the baby shower! Very pleased and would definitely order again!"

Burton looking for closer racing with Gen-6 car
AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) - NASCAR is looking to tweak the Gen-6 car for next season.
Whatever they do, Jeff Burton wants it to create closer racing.
Not necessarily more passing and certainly not more wrecking, just the ability for the cars to race closer together.
"Fans want to see more action," Burton said from Phoenix International Raceway on Friday. "They want to see more intense racing. The only way to do that is get the cars closer together. We talked about making it easier to pass. Well, if you make it easier to pass, are the cars really going to be closer together? Do we really want to make it easier to pass? I think the reason Martinsville is so much fun to watch and do is because it is hard to pass."
One of the criticisms of the Gen-6 car is that it creates single-file racing and makes passing difficult, putting a premium on track position instead of racing ability. It's also led to wrecks- some intentional, some not- as drivers try finding ways to get around the cars in front of them.
"Tire marks down the side of cars is cool. That kind of close racing is what we need to be pushing for, but it's hard to do," Burton said. "A 1.5-mile track running 190 mph into Turn 1, it's kind of hard to be rubbing tires. We have got to find a way to have cars that can race close together, can race harder to put on more exciting racing."

Administering virtual machines with MLN
Watching the Flock
This simple command-line tool helps you keep ahead of your virtual infrastructure.
The simplest virtualization scenarios are very easy to manage. In the real world, though, virtualization does not always simplify system administration. In fact, many of the most powerful uses of virtualization result in additional administrative tasks and challenges. For example, large data centers use virtualization to consolidate several servers onto the same physical hardware, thereby minimizing space, cost, and power requirements.
These virtual machines (VMs) can migrate between servers to achieve higher uptimes and flexible load balancing. However, managing such a complex virtual infrastructure is at least as challenging as administering the equivalent number of separate server systems, and it requires very different skills.
Many high-end commercial virtualization products come with sophisticated VM management features. If you are wondering whether the free software community offers an equivalent application, the open source MLN VM administration tool might be just what you need. MLN, which stands for "Manage Large Networks," lets you build sophisticated, dynamic, virtual infrastructures with the use of freely available virtualization platforms. The versatile MLN currently supports the widely used VMware Server [1] and Xen [2] packages, as well as User-Mode Linux [3].
For Xen, MLN also provides live migration of entire network topologies, which is otherwise available in applications only at the highest end. MLN's simple command-line and config file interfaces serve the needs of complex virtualization scenarios, but it is easy enough for administrators who are new to virtualization.
About MLN
The MLN environment helps you manage large numbers of virtual machines through a simple command-line interface. MLN has three main design goals:
- The user should be able to design and implement complex VM deployments.
- The process from design to actual deployment should be as efficient as possible.
The configuration language should be extensible, so users can customize MLN easily for their unique needs.
MLN is designed to work in concert with other VM management tools. For example, if you have a VMware Server, you can use MLN for efficient building and redeploying of complex virtual networks and also use VMware Server Console for starting and stopping individual virtual machines.
Download MLN from SourceForge [4]. The installation process is simple and similar to the procedure for other Linux programs:
# wget http://mln.sourceforge.net/files/mln-latest.tar.gz # tar xzfv mln-latest.tar.gz # cd mln-latest # ./mln setup
Defining Projects
MLN organizes virtual machines into units called projects. Projects are groups of virtual machines and their associated virtual networks. The simplest project consists of a single virtual machine. A more powerful approach is to group virtual machines that belong together: all virtual machines that are web servers, an entire replica of a small business network, all the test systems for a software test suite.
Projects are defined in MLN configuration files. The configuration file shown in Listing 1 (ldaptest.mln) defines two virtual machines connected by a virtual LAN. Annotations in the file highlight the most important configuration settings.
Listing 1
01 global { (Settings affecting all VMs and switches in the file.) 02 project ldaptest Project name. 03 } 04 05 host ldapclient { 06 xen This is a Xen VM. 07 memory 128M Memory size for VM. 08 lvm Create logical volume for storing VM. 09 size 2GB Size of the VM. 10 template ubuntu-client.ext3 11 nameserver 10.0.0.15 Set the name server. 12 network eth0 { Config. virt. net.interface. 13 address dhcp Use DHCP for IP address. 14 switch LDAPlan Connect to virt. switch. 15 } 16 users { kyrre l47/Y.NtB9p7w } (Create user and set encoded password.) 17 18 host ldapserver { 19 xen Another Xen VM. 20 memory 256M 21 lvm 22 size 2GB 23 template ubuntu¿ldap.ext3 (Initial OS image.) 24 nameserver 10.0.0.15 25 network eth0 { This VM uses a static address. 26 address 10.0.0.2 27 netmask 255.255.255.0 28 gateway 10.0.0.1 29 switch LDAPlan Connect to virtual LAN. 30 } 31 } 32 33 switch LDAPlan { } (Create virtual switch connecting the VMs.)
Listing 1 starts with the global stanza, wherein the name of the project is defined. Next follows a declaration of a virtual machine called ldapclient – a Xen host with 128MB of memory built from the template ubuntu-client.ext3. The host has one network interface configured to use DHCP for its IP address. The third stanza defines another Xen host, ldapserver, with similar settings, although it is given more memory. Note that the second host uses a different template as its initial operating system image and has a static IP address. The final stanza defines a virtual switch to which both virtual machines are connected; this switch allows them to communicate with one another.
Most of the settings are straightforward, but the template specifications deserve special mention. Templates are pre-fabricated VM filesystems. Each time you build a new virtual machine, you specify a template to use as its base. The virtual machine will be individualized by MLN during the build process. Some people like to use very generic templates for all their virtual machines and customize them later, whereas others create very specialized templates, like a fully functional LAMP server or a copy of a typical employee desktop.
The definition for a VMware Server virtual machine differs only slightly from the host definition in Listing 1. The vmware keyword is used in the VM host definition stanzas instead of xen, and a VMware format template is used instead of a filesystem image. The switch definition stanza also requires the vmware keyword.
Valid host and switch names are case sensitive and can contain lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
Managing VMs with the mln Command
Once you have defined a project in a configuration file, you can use the mln command to build the virtual machines and virtual network inside it. For example, the following commands create the virtual hosts and network defined in Listing 1 and then start the hosts and virtual network:
# mln build -f ldaptest.mln # mln start -p ldaptest
The build subcommand instantiates the entities in the specified project file, and the start subcommand boots the virtual machines and activates the virtual network.
Typically, the build subcommand is used only once – initially to create the project – whereas the start subcommand and its sibling stop are used to activate and deactivate the project hosts and network.
By including the -h option, you can apply the command to a single host within a project:
# mln stop -p ldaptest -h ldapserver
Table 1 summarizes the most important subcommands related to project management.
Clearly, writing host stanzas for large numbers of virtual machines would get tedious. The MLN configuration language allows you to define superclasses: named groups of settings that can be applied to multiple hosts.
