Just Love my new chair !
patricia from Stamford, CT – Verified Buyer
I wasn't sure what type of quality I was going to get for under $100 (on sale!) but I was pleasantly surprised when this chair came! For as much time as I spend at my desk, I wanted something that was comfy and gave my back, arms and neck support. This chair does ALL of that and more!!! Love the features; height adjustable, spins AND tilts and has a nice generous width to the seat and back. an added bonus, I don't slouch at my desk anymore so no more backaches! A Great Buy..very pleased
good-looking and comfortable
Bill from Memphis, TN – Verified Buyer
This chair looks great and is comfortable to sit in. My only complaint is that is was somewhat difficult to assemble. I needed four hands to attach the arms to the seat and back. Still I would recommend it.
just the chair we were looking for!
lori from Aiken, SC – Verified Buyer
The chair is exactly what we were looking for! It's comfortable, tall enough to spend a working day in it without have a sore lower back. It looks nice and is good quality. My husband is 6 ft tall and it's height and width are just fine. I recommend this chair.
Wonderful college desk chair = studying
Theresa from Chicago, IL – Verified Buyer
This chair was mentioned in my review in tandem with the corner computer desk I purchased for my son's off campus college apartment. It is comfortable, sturdy and well made. He spends a lot of time in it and is actually studying. Who would have guessed? Thanks!
Great Chair
Maria from Brooklyn, NY – Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
I bought this chair as a replacement for my son-in-law's computer chair that was a bit tattered! He loves it; it is very comfortable and he can sit and play his games online without any back pain. It was easy to put together and looks great. Thank you again.
Very comfy!
ES from Fairfield, IA – Verified Buyer
We ordered 5 of these chairs. They are very comfy and were easy to put together. Only gave 4 stars because the screw caps and pieces from underneath the chair keep falling off. We finally glued them in place, which won't be handy if we need to work on them. We will order more when we need them! Pros: comfortable, look nice Cons: pieces fall off
Very great product. Extremely as described and more.
connie from newnan, GA – Verified Buyer
This chair is not only an attractive addition to our home, but it is extremely comfortable and indeed very supportive of the back. My husband and I are very pleased with this purchase.

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book, from the start you wanted the relationship with Becky and Leandro to work, you could tell they were a match made in heaven. This is one of the best romantic stories I've ever read."
The Spanish Doctor's Love-child by Kate Hardy


text:
When Spanish marines began squeezing off rounds at a mysterious vessel they intercepted earlier this month in the Arabian Sea, their shots reverberated not only in the war on terror, but in the war for fiscal responsibility.
The marines had seized what turned out to be a North Korean ship carrying 15 Scud missiles, as well as other military equipment, to the government of Yemen.
The discovery on the high seas alarmed U.S. officials. North Korea is a member of the so-called axis of evil, while Yemen is a self-proclaimed ally in the war on terror — but also a haven for al Qaeda terrorists.
The Scuds were hidden under 40,000 bags of cement, and could have been used to deliver nuclear, chemical or biological payloads.
After detaining the ship and its crew, U.S. authorities determined that no international laws had been violated, that the weapons would be for Yemen's use only. The shipment was allowed to continue on.
But while the crisis may be over for U.S. diplomats, it might only be an opening volley for the bean-counters. Yemen received $5 million in U.S. development aid, and as a major battleground in the war on terror, it is on track to receive far more in the future.
Yemen's apparent disregard for U.S. concerns about North Korea and weapons proliferation, however, has revived questions about whether or not Washington can buy friends that will live up to its expectations.
In 2001, the United States gave a total of $10.9 billion in foreign aid, and is expected to give a total of $11.4 billion in 2003. Earlier this month, the White House directed the Pentagon to provide up to $92 million in military equipment and training to Iraqi opposition groups in preparation for a potential war in Iraq.
As the United States gears up for another effort which will send it across the globe in search of allies, the Yemeni incident may remind diplomats who are going out with their wallets in hand: Is it worth it?
The Past Is Precedent
While foreign aid is usually disbursed in response to humanitarian concerns, political interests often play a greater role.
Some of the top recipients of U.S. foreign aid are not the neediest countries in the world. Rather, countries like Israel, Egypt, Colombia and Jordan are key to securing U.S. interests in some of the world's more turbulent areas.
It's an old joke in the diplomatic community to liken the secretary of state to a neighborhood mobster, and call the foreign aid budget his "walking-around money."
This role of foreign aid was especially apparent during the Cold War, when the United States distributed fortunes in the interest of combating communism.
Many dictators of the era couldn't have survived without funds from Washington — despite their flagrant disregard for other American interests, like democracy and free markets, critics said.
But because of their antagonism to communism, Chile's Augusto Pinochet, Panama's Manuel Noriega, the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos, and even Iraq's Saddam Hussein all received foreign aid from the United States.
Osama bin Laden may have even benefited from U.S. foreign aid because the CIA funded many of the Islamic fundamentalist militias that fought the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
"Clients during the Cold War professed to blocking Soviet influence, but often they were doing little more than consolidating their power," said Ted Galen Carpenter, a foreign policy expert at the Washington-based CATO Institute.

French Presidential Nomination Rule Validated in Le Pen Loss
Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Presidential candidates can be required to disclose the names of officials who signed petitions in support of their campaigns, France's constitutional court ruled, in a defeat for the National Front's Marine Le Pen.
Requiring publication of the names of politicians supporting a candidate doesn't inhibit political diversity, the Constitutional Council said in a ruling published on its website.
"This publicity doesn't in itself undercut the principle of the free exchange of ideas and opinions," the court said. The rule "complies with the Constitution."
The decision is a loss for Le Pen, a candidate for president who advocates cutting immigration and exiting the euro. Politicians must gather signatures from 500 elected officials to show they have the institutional support needed to appear on the ballot. Le Pen has said some followers refuse to sign on for fear of retaliation for their support.
"There is no longer a functioning democracy in our country," Le Pen said today in an interview on LCI television after the decision.
While she has commitments from 440 elected officials, Le Pen said she is "worried" she won't reach 500. "What reassures me is that I have the people behind me," she said.
A poll released Feb. 19 showed 14 percent of respondents supporting Le Pen, compared to 26 percent for President Nicolas Sarkozy and 32 percent for Socialist Party candidate Francois Hollande.
Le Pen is the daughter of National Front founder Jean-Marie Le Pen.
The French presidential election will be held in two rounds, with the top two vote recipients of the April 22 ballot competing in a May 6 run-off.

Well, I'm learning to lead with the heart not the mind, but that second guy keeps overthinkin' it. I'm deep but love to joke around. I'm sincere but sarcastic. I'm yogic but love the NFL... I guess I'm an urban contradiction. I'm a lawyer but if you catch me talkin' about me (not one of my favorite past-times) I'm usually talkin' about my passions like starting a company, my yoga, my relationships with all those around me. My chi, my prana, my light, my spirit. I can watch a concert live, then with energy walk around forever 'till we find a good spot to chat about it. At family reunions, I'm the one running around arranging the camping/canoe trips, the nights out. So I guess I'm the "go, go" guy. I grew up playing tennis competitively, so I guess even though I hardly play now - it's that sporting life-style that romances me. Kind of like the feeling you get when you're on your 8th mile of a run and the endorphins are kickin' in - you hear the birds (and the bees) and the trees all at one having fun along running along with you. One with the air, the water, the people and nature.

Jud Apatow flix - they're always outrageously crazy, but seem to have a human theme; a simple heartfelt outlook on life. Live music - lucky to have the NYC concert scene in the neighborhood. The last couple one I saw were Dylan and Matisyahu - wow!
Wayne Dyer's "You'll See It When You Believe It"-(not I'll believe it when I see it;) It's about kindness within one's self. A non-judgmental unconditional love capable of feeling its way through life so that we become co-creators with our own spirit

OK, we admit it is somewhat cliché for employment lawyers to circulate client alerts every December warning about the dangers lurking at company holiday parties. But when real-life examples show just how expensive claims arising from these events can be, we would be remiss not to issue yet another such alert.
Last December, we issued an alert concerning a federal district court's refusal to dismiss a holiday party related sexual harassment lawsuit filed against an employer, Shiner v. State University of New York at Buffalo (Case No. 11-CV-01024).
The case finally settled in August 2013, with the employer paying the plaintiff a whopping $255,000.
The plaintiff, Leslie Shiner, was a clerk at the University at Buffalo Dental School. She alleged that she had not wanted to attend the school's annual holiday party because the conduct at previous events made her uncomfortable. However, a supervisor encouraged her to attend the party, which was held at a local bar. During the party, an associate dean, with supervisory authority over the plaintiff, allegedly made sexual advances toward her that included fondling her, putting his tongue in her ear and pulling her onto his lap. Another department official with supervisory authority allegedly cheered him on.
In early 2012, the plaintiff filed claims of sexual harassment under state and federal anti-discrimination laws, as well common law claims of assault and battery. In November 2012, as we wrote last year, the judge denied the defendant-employer's motion to dismiss and allowed the case to proceed. After months of discovery and over a year and a half after the plaintiff filed her lawsuit, her employer ultimately agreed to pay her $255,000 to settle her claims. That amount obviously does not include the attorneys' fees expended by the employer during a protracted time period of motion practice and discovery. Not including the inconveniences to the employer, the total out-of-pocket cost of the case to the employer likely exceeded $350,000 or $400,000.
The lesson for all employers is that the lighthearted, and sometimes drunken, atmosphere at office holiday parties does not equate to a free pass for unwanted touching, lewd comments and other types of inappropriate behavior that otherwise would not be tolerated. As the University of Buffalo Dental School eventually had to recognize when it agreed to settlement, employers who fail to protect themselves can be held liable for workers' conduct that might easily get out of hand at festive events particularly when there is drinking.
The following are examples of ways employers can reduce the threat of dangerous misbehavior:
If an employee does come to you with a sexual harassment complaint, please consider it seriously and take prompt action as necessary to investigate and stop the harassment.

Many school administrators classify teacher technology users into two categories: those who use technology and those who don't. While this school of thought is logical, after having worked with and trained hundreds of teachers and administrators on integrating technology into instruction, I have found that there are generally three categories of technology teachers. I refer to them as, Digital Rock Stars, Digital Groupies, and Digital Phobes.

After months of negotiations, the Los Angeles Unified School District and its teachers union have reached a compromise that will now use a controversial multifactor system to evaluate teacher performance.
A long-time Ogden school teacher was charged Thursday with multiple felonies in connection with allegedly sexually abusing two children under the age of 14. Prosecutors charged Scott Ray McMurray, 58, with 11 counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and three counts of sodomy upon a child.
The Baltimore school system is paying bonuses to teachers and administrators at struggling schools that reduce suspensions, drawing criticism from union leaders who say the program could provide a financial incentive to ignore problems and jeopardize school safety.

I'm very pleased. I thought last night's game was very intense. It was a very physical, hard hitting game. A typical BIG EAST black and blue physical contest. There were a lot of good things in that game, and some not so good. We're very proud we got that win and got started off on the right foot in BIG EAST play. And again, I was so pleased with how hard the Mountaineers played and how intense it was. It was a heck of an opener, it was exactly what we thought it would be and the game worked out in our favor, which we're very pleased about today.
We have a team meeting today at 2:30 p.m. We will go over our awards at that time, and then we will go over special teams. At that point, we will break and the offensive guys will watch film with their guys and the defense will lift and run and get the soreness out, and we'll switch that halfway through and complete that. Then the other side of the ball will meet and the other guys lift. We will be off after tonight; the guys have treatment tomorrow, that's all they will do on Saturday, as it's an off day. We'll get ready to resume for game No. 2 and round two in the BIG EAST.
On what coach Stewart liked the most and the least about the team's performance
I certainly liked our defense, I thought our defense played outstanding. I thought our guys flew around and did a heck of a job of leveraging the football. You must leverage the football with players like B.J. Daniels and Plancher, and the type of football team they have with Bogan out there and Lamar, who was out there running those routes and things. I thought it was a physical game, I thought our defense really did rise to the occasion and we kept them in check pretty good. I was really pleased with the way we disguised. I thought our secondary did a heck of a job in disguising and trying to keep B.J. Daniels from getting into a rhythm like he'd done last year. I was okay with the kicking game, there was one big kick-off return I wasn't pleased with. Our punting game though only averaged 38 yards a punt, but we kept them pinned back pretty good inside their 20 a couple of times and they didn't get great field position most of the night.
Offensively, I was pleased with the way we started and passed the ball and spread our wealth and got the ball to so many playmakers. I thought that was good. We got our guys the ball in space but we didn't have a big, big night simply because those guys are good and fast and they ran us down. We are now becoming a more two-dimensional team and we didn't run the ball as well as we've done in a couple of games, but that credit goes to the South Florida Bulls. They're fast and their defense is good. If you like good defense and a sound kicking game and a hard hitting game, that was a good one to see.
On how this victory over USF compares to this season's other victories
Well, it's a win and I'm very proud to get it, I thought it was a good win to start off the BIG EAST. I don't think you should ever apologize for winning. It was 20 -6 in a game that we've had trouble with the opponent for the past few years, and now our staff is 2-1 and we've evened the series at 3-3. We have a lot to do; we're still getting better each and every week, and we just have to do a little bit better as a total team.
On changing the running game
I'm not going to worry because I liked our drive in the third quarter. I don't know how long we had that ball but it seemed to me like we had a real nice long drive, and got the field goal which put us up 20-3 at the time. That was a big, big drive because we took a lot of clock and we ran the ball a bunch there and made hay. They're good, we're good, it was a defensive game and we just have to do better at running the football.
On the short yardage passing game
We wanted to spread the field out because any time we tried to run the ball they had that extra guy in the box. That's what happened to the spread to a lot of teams, and our quarterback is a better passer right now than he is a runner just simply because that's what we've had him do more. That being said, we felt that we could move the ball that way. And even though during the fourth quarter it was always fourth and one or fourth and two, so we were making yards, we just weren't getting the chains to move. That's where we've got to get better. When you get in a tight game like that you have to be able to move those chains and get your defense off the field and at least make the other team drive the full length of the field.
On coming up short on conversions
Now remember, guys, we were 7-of-17. That's not great, and they were 1-of-11. And that's not really good at all. I just told the guys that we don't want to turn the ball over. If the South Florida Bulls were to score, I wanted them to go 70, 80, 90 yards. They can call me conservative, they can call me whatever. When your defense is playing like we were playing and we were keeping everything pretty good in the kicking game, then you're allowing your defense to win. What I'm trying to do here is win football games.
Defensive concerns
My concerns are still the big plays. I saw one play there in the fourth quarter, Plancher went through that hole, and they had a hat on everybody. If Eain Smith doesn't make that tackle, he barely cut the legs out, if he doesn't make that tackle, it's a touchdown. Now the game is 20-13, with a chance for an onside kick, or for us to muff something or make us punt. But if we had just gotten another drive and gotten three more points to make it 23-6, then they would have to score three more times and that's what I was trying to do. And defensively, you still work on all the stuff. You have to make sure tackles, which pretty much most of the night we did. We pressured them in the passing game, we kept their great athlete, B.J. Daniels, in check, and don't forget that. That's the thing that made me happy. We didn't give up any big play, we didn't turn the ball over on offense and we got a bunch of turnovers from them and that to me is what it's all about.
On watching film on Syracuse
I wanted to know how they ran that ball. Let's say we did in the fourth quarter what we did in the third quarter, pound the ball. We started to do that but we took seven out of the game. I don't want to take away what's been good to us. We wanted to see if we could make that work and that was frustrating because they were fast and we've never ran the ball against them, never, except Pat White in 2005. Every other time they've had an answer for us, and they had an answer last night.
Syracuse had patience and they hung in there because South Florida didn't score on the Syracuse defense. I could have taken the same approach in the fourth quarter that I did in the third, but I wanted to get the ball to seven. If he could just break one, just one breakaway, then we're up another score, 27-6, instead of getting in the power set and running down there to score another field goal. I came in early to watch Syracuse because I wanted to see the patience that Doug Marrone and his staff did in that South Florida game. And we did that in the third quarter, but didn't do it in the fourth.
On strong defensive play
I don't want to play not to lose. That's a bunch of garbage, we're playing to win. I did the best thing I knew we could do and in the fourth quarter I hoped seven would have a chance to break one. Then you go in there and pound the ball in there. But we chose to do what we did and we came up a yard here or two yards there. It was so, so close, and I thought we're just going to break one and we didn't. That's all I'm saying. Our defense is playing well.
On Noel Devine
Noel Devine is not 100 percent. Here's the deal, I can't tell you what his foot feels like. I can only look out there, and what I think, he's just not as quick yet and hopefully by next week that will get better. He's gotten better each and every day. I don't know how you can say a guy is 100 percent. He's not as quick as he was before he got hurt.
I kept trying to get him the ball. We try to keep track of how many times seven touches the ball because sooner or later, statistics have shown in the past that he's going to break one. It just didn't happen. They are good, they have a good defense and that's the trouble. It didn't happen. We just have to get a little bit better.

He leads the NL in OPS once again. He handily leads the NL in walks and OBP, while still slugging enough to surpass the lauded Prince Fielder. In fact, Votto's season surpasses Fielder's in every conceivable manner except in home runs and RBIs. He also leads all NL first basemen in UZR and is tied for the lead in steals. And if you're looking for durability, he has the most plate appearances under his belt of any NL first baseman. If the Reds had won the division, he'd likely be the MVP once again.
Has there ever been a more dominant Reds batter since the days of the BRM? Barry Larkin will have sustained it for longer assuming Votto bolts after 2013, but Votto is doing it in one of the most dominant eras for pitching in recent memory, and has the chance to win many more after having just turned 28.

and this will be my last post...maybe.
i've gotten kind of attached to you...
aw. thanks. but i want to get married RIGHT AWAY, just like my dad.
okaaay. fiiinnneee.
what do you think of my new hairstyle? *fluffs hair*
it *snicker* looks r-real g-g-g-good. *snicker*
hmph. i can tell you are very jealous of my beautiful afro.
n-not at all. so, erm, i woke nino up and we did some boring things.
what blue meant is that she put me on a table and ate leftovers and had hot chocolate while reading case closed.
thank you for telling people about my day. so, i promised you guys that i would give you the boring story of how i got into logging just to fill up space? so, one day while i was still newly introduced to tamagotchis again, i was looking for tamatown help for my v4.5. and, one of the results was a tamagotchi log. i started reading it and fell in love with logging, so i searched it up on google and found tamatalk. i began reading various tamagotchi logs on tamatalk, up to the point when i liked tamatalk so much that i created an account and here i am now, typing up this monologue while nino sits beside me sucking his thumb.
*quickly pulls thumb out of his mouth* whaaa?? i did not!
it's pretty hard to disguise your habits to me, nino.
you've only known me for a few days!
but i am pretty observant, yah?
i guess.
tonight you will get married. and i am
i like that. a quiet, private ceremony without you squealing and taking photos of me and my wife on our PRIVATE date.
can i help it bandai put those scenes on the iD L?
i just want to unlock the henshin jo for my kid.
you know what i just realized? getting a perfect care, for me, is basically the only kind of character i can get with the care i give my tamas.
that's nice. yet i am an AVERAGE CARE CHARACTER.
well you would have been just like your dad and not unlock the henshin jo, which would've made me extremely unhappy. so, i decided on your grandpa, but care misses are hard to control.
i guess that's reasonable.
i wish that i could get you married in the morning. then i wouldn't have to wait for your kid to evolve. i hate waiting.
that's very promising. i can't wait to leave my kid with you.
you sound just like mark! like father, like son.
EDIT: i'm a very curious person. i suddenly thought "ohmaigosh i wonder who else reads my log?" so, if you can and would like to, please make yourself known to me as i feel that when i do shoutouts, it's like i'm personally thanking you (e.g thanks to *insert name here* for reading! i hope you keep reading!) instead of doing a general shout out like "thanks to everyone who reads my log!" because to me, the words feel a bit empty. (i write a lot, what can i say? ) obviously, if you're not a member, you can't PM me or anything, but i hope you enjoy reading. so...make yourself known to me, at least. feel free to tell me if you don't want a shout out. thanks for reading!

Maloney shuts out Yankees in complete game
Reds prospect strikes out 10 in three-hitter
By Josh Jackson / Special to MLB.com
Reds prospect Matt Maloney was concentrating on putting together another quality start when he took the mound on Monday, and he didn't disappoint himself.
Maloney tossed a complete-game, three-hit shutout while racking up 10 strikeouts as the Louisville Bats topped the first-place Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees, 4-0. He hit one batter but didn't walk anyone in the win.
"I was able to throw a lot of pitches for strikes and found the zone with all my pitches pretty much," said Maloney.
The 25-year-old righty, who's in his second full season in the Reds organization, was fourth in the International League with 132 strikeouts last year while posting a 4.68 ERA. He made several strong outings, but also gave up five or more runs in six starts, twice giving up seven in fewer than seven innings.
So far this season, however, things are going a little more smoothly.
"I've been feeling good lately. I've been consistent," said Maloney, the Phillies' 2005 third-round pick. Through Monday's start, he's allowed just three earned runs over his previous 37 innings pitched, fanning 35 and issuing five walks during that time.
"I've been keeping hitters off balance," said Maloney, who was named International League Pitcher of the Week on may 18. "I'm throwing strikes and my team is stepping up and playing great defense, making all the big plays for me when I need it."
Monday's game did not appear to be destined from the beginning to end as a three-hitter, though. Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's Austin Jackson, the second batter Maloney faced, knocked a one-out double to left field in the first inning. Maloney said he didn't reevaluate his approach after Jackson's at-bat because he didn't feel he'd made a mistake.
"The pitch that he hit a double on... was a good pitch. It was a fastball on the inside of the plate where I wanted it," he said. "He got a good swing and hit a ground ball down the line. He's a good hitter, and these guys can do that to you."
After striking out Todd Linden, he faced Shelley Duncan, who is tied for first among all Minor Leaguers with 18 home runs.
"Duncan, he stands fairly close to the plate," said Maloney, who hit Duncan with the 1-2 pitch. "I wanted to work the inside corner and it just got away from me a little bit."
He whiffed Juan Miranda, the next batter, to end the inning. Jackson came to the plate again in the third, and this time Maloney got the best of him.
"I didn't make any major adjustments," he said. "I used a different pitch sequence on him. I threw him a change [with two strikes] and caught him off-balance."
Maloney coasted through the rest of the game, shaking off Duncan's double in the fourth, the last Yankees batter to reach base.
Eric Duncan, who bats left-handed, began the eighth inning with a hard-hit single to right.
"That was a solid hit," Maloney said, who instantly recognized he'd made a physical slip up and wasn't worried about losing his groove. "That was a bad pitch. It was a changeup. I was trying to get it low and away and it stayed up and over the plate, and he got a good swing on it."
Maloney got Major League veteran Kevin Cash, the next hitter, to dribble a grounder to shortstop Luis Bolivar.
"I was pretty happy about that," he said. "I knew I needed a ground ball. I worked him inside and I kind of jammed him, and my defense turned two behind me."
Linden, who struck out looking twice previously, came to the plate with two outs in the ninth. Maloney got ahead in the count 0-2, and then Linden fouled off a pitch on the outside corner, working the count to 2-2. The Mississippi University product put him away to end the game.
"That felt great," he said. "It was a slider right down the middle. I think he was looking for a changeup, and the slider kind of froze him a little. It was a great way to get out of the game."
Although Maloney recognizes he's been pitching well lately, he's keeping one major goal in mind.
"There's always stuff I can improve on. The main thing now is working on being consistent," he said. "Or I guess I should say, staying consistent. I need to make sure I keep going out there and pitch like I've been pitching."
I miss Adam Dunn.

Save The Colorado focuses on fighting irresponsible water projects, supporting alternatives to proposed dams and diversions, fighting and adapting to climate change, supporting river and fish species restoration, and removing deadbeat dams.
1. Fighting Irresponsible Water Projects
Unfortunately, water planners throughout the 7-state Colorado River region are planning even more new dams, diversions, and pipelines that would further drain the river and its tributaries. Proposals in Colorado include the Moffat Project, Windy Gap Firming Project, and Northern Integrated Supply Project. Wyoming has several new dam proposals and is still also considering taking more water out of the Green River. Utah wants to "dam every river in the state," and New Mexico wants to build the Gila River Pipeline. Nevada, Arizona, and California are also proposing new destructive water supply projects. Save The Colorado believes that our society needs to stop draining and destroying rivers and focus on river protection and restoration. Thus, we are addressing the threat of these proposed irresponsible projects on many levels through science, law, and public advocacy.
2. Supporting alternatives to proposed dams and diversions
Throughout the Colorado River basin, studies are moving forward so that cities, states, and regions can have secure water supplies in the future. Save the Colorado is working with partner organizations throughout the basin to ensure that these studies contain policies that include scientific analyses of climate change, adequate streamflows to protect wildlife and habitat, economic impacts to the recreational and tourism economy, and aggressive water conservation measures. We support alternatives to new dams and diversions that protect and restore rivers — those alternatives include water conservation and efficiency, water recycling and reuse, growth management, and water-sharing agreements with farmers.
3. Fighting and Adapting to Climate Change
Climate change is real, happening right now, and will get worse. Climate change has and will decrease snowfall and river flow in the Southwest U.S. and further imperil water supplies for people and the health of the river and it's non-human species. Dirty energy projects that are causing climate change including tar sands, oil shale, fracking, and coal mining are running rampant throughout the Southwest U.S., especially in Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Save The Colorado opposes dirty energy projects and supports transitioning our economy to a renewable carbon-free system. In addition, Save The Colorado realizes that climate change will get worse requiring that we also support adaptation strategies that protect the river and the non-human environment as well as water supplies for people.
4. Supporting river and fish species restoration
Throughout the Colorado River basin, myriad opportunities exist to work towards restoring the rivers and their habitat as well as the endangered fish species that struggle to survive. As one example, Save The Colorado has worked to help restore the Colorado River Delta in Mexico by supporting the bi-national agreement between the U.S. and Mexico. Elsewhere, Save The Colorado is engaged in making sure government agencies are held accountable for protecting and restoring endangered fish species int he Colorado River. Save The Colorado is continually looking for opportunities to support river restoration projects especially those that increase streamflows and river health. By supporting restoration programs, we can begin to re-weave the natural processes into the ecological system so that nature can be more resilient to human interference now and in the future.
5. Removing Deadbeat Dams
Save The Colorado was proud to support the film tour for "DamNation" in cities throughout the Southwest U.S. In addition, we are always on the lookout for dam removal projects on the Colorado River and its tributaries in the 7-state region and Mexico. Dam removal is one of the most exciting new developments in river conservation in the U.S. and abroad. Removing dams is a central feature of restoring river health and the natural functioning of aquatic environments. Dams that are no longer useful, or that are terribly environmentally damaging, are candidates for removal. Small or large, removing a dam can have an amazing effect on river health as well as provide exciting opportunities for communities and people to rally around. If you know of a Deadbeat Dam that needs to be removed, please contact us!

NEW YORK, June 6, 2007- NYSE Euronext today announced that through a combination of price weighting and a multi-industry approach to technology, the NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index maintained diversification and kept large-cap stocks from exhibiting outsized influence on Index returns. As a result, the Index turned in a 5.88% gain for the month of April, and 6.77% year to date return as of April 30th.
The top 10 stocks in the Index by weight represent 24% of the Index's total weight. This is less than competing indexes which are market cap weighted, and typically have 40 – 60% of their index influenced by just 10 stocks. In addition, the NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index uses a broader definition of technology to capture opportunities that don't exist in the traditional tech sectors of computer hardware, software, internet and telecom. The multi-industry approach recognizes technology is pervasive in biotech, healthcare and aerospace industries, just to name a few.
Top Ten Largest Weights:
Top Ten April '07 Performers:
A widely recognized benchmark for the technology sector, the NYSE Arca Tech 100 Index with 25 years of history, tracks 100 technology-related common stocks and ADRs, all listed on

YIELD: Serves 12 to 14 people
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a standing electric mixer, use the whisk attachment to whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar. When they start to double in size, slowly add in 2/3 cup of the sugar. Whip until you have stiff peaks. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, salt, and the remaining 2/3 cup sugar. Gradually add the orange juice and continue to beat until light and fluffy.
4. Combine the two mixtures: Spoon a little whipped egg whites into the yolks and stir. Then fold the rest of the whites into the mixture in two additions.
5. Deftly fold in the flour, vanilla extract, and almond extract.
6. Pour the batter into an ungreased 9-inch angel food cake pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and place it upside down. Leave it like that until the cake is cool.
8. Once it has cooled, run a sharp knife around the edge of the cake to separate it from the pan. Invert the pan over a serving plate, and let gravity do its thing.
9. Carefully cut the cake in half horizontally with a large serrated knife.
10. Frost the top of the bottom half with some of the orange filling (see below), and then layer some of the mandarin orange slices and berries on top of the frosting.
11. Place the top half over the bottom half, and then frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining orange filling. Place the remaining mandarin oranges and berries on top of the cake.
12. Sprinkle the topping (see below) over the cake and enjoy.
To Make the Orange Filling
1. Combine the sugar, egg, flour, orange juice, and orange zest in a double boiler and cook over simmering water until thick, about 5 to 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
2. Whip the cream till almost stiff. Fold in the cooled orange mixture. Whisk until you have stiff peaks.
To Make the Topping
1. Butter a piece of aluminum foil.
2. In a heavy skillet over high heat, cook the sugar until it is caramelized (turns a medium brown color). Swirl the pan carefully to get all of the sugar to caramelize evenly.
3. Pour the sliced almonds over the caramelized sugar and stir with a wooden spoon to coat the almonds. Spread the almonds out on the piece of buttered foil, and let them cool.
4. When they are cool, crush or chop the nuts.

Telegraph Register - Embossing, late 19th Century Reg. No: ST 007095
- Summary:
- Telegraph embossing register for receiving and recording telegraph signals..
In operation, the intermittent current generated by the received signals causes the embossing stylus to be intermittently pressed on to a moving paper tape. The stylus embosses a series of long and short marks on the tape, with the length of each mark depending on whether the duration of the current flow is long (producing a dash) or short (producing a dot.)
The register mechanism is driven by a falling weight attached to a chain passing over a sprocket on the main drive shaft.
In this object, the coils which cause the embossing stylus to move are missing, as is the embossing stylus.
- Description:
- Wooden baseboard with scalloped edges. Space for two missing vertical coils at one end of baseboard. Gear mechanism enclosed in brass case with stylus mechanism mounted above case. Stylus missing. Arm to hold spindle and reel of paper tape attached to side of brass case. Various terminals for wire connections.

The Houston Texans expect by the end of this week to have a better idea whether injured safety Ed Reed will play in their season opener. Coach Gary Kubiak said Monday that Reed is in Vail, Colo., visiting the surgeon who performed his April hip surgery to repair a partially-torn labrum. He will receive injections in his hip during the visit and then travel Atlanta later this week to continue his rehabilitation. The Texans wrap up their preseason on Thursday night at Dallas and open the season Sept. 9 at San Diego. ''I think we're going to have a really good idea of where we're at coming out of Dallas,'' Kubiak said of Reed's status. It is the second hip surgery for the 34-year-old Reed, who also had a procedure in 2010 that caused him to miss the first six games of that season. The nine-time Pro Bowler, who joined the Texans in the offseason after spending his entire career with the Ravens, has been on the physically unable to perform list since the start of camp. But he has sa...

Wonderful project for the study of PSoC. I'm trying to figure out.
Found the problem:
1. Require () for triggerActive?16:0
327 +(triggerActive?16:0) // if no other triggers are active, trigger with bus count
2. Posted by hysteresis in triggers Comp_1 Comp_2 and for greater stability of the front.
There are questions:
3. 2-bit resolution ADC (figure1) - why?
4. There is a shift of channel 2 increases over time (figure2).
If possible, tell me the reason or solution.
Sincerely Eugene.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jayson Werth hit a two-run homer, Bryce Harper drove in three runs and the Washington Nationals rallied from a six-run hole before holding off the Kansas City Royals for an 11-10 victory Friday night. Harper also made a terrific catch in the ninth for Washington, which scored seven times in the fourth inning of its fourth consecutive win. Ian Desmond had a pair of hits during the outburst. Denard Span, Ryan Zimmerman, Tyler Moore and Anthony Rendon also had RBIs as the Nationals piled up 11 runs for the second time in three games - they beat the Cubs 11-6 on Tuesday night. Just like in that one, Tyler Roark (4-0) came in to spell some sloppy starting pitching for the Nationals. He earned the win by allowing one hit and one walk in 4 23 innings.

Fans set up early for this year's Jamboree in the Hills
BELMONT COUNTY, Ohio -
Only 10 more days until 2014's Jamboree in the Hills and dedicated fans are already arriving in their campers.
Loyal fans went out Sunday for pre-camping, which allows them to drop off their campers early then they are promised the closest camping spots in the house when the show kicks off Thursday, July 17.
Luke Bregi and Jen Bush are two of the many people who started setting up camp Sunday. They have been coming for several years and they keep coming back for one reason.
"The good music and fun time with people," Bregi said.
"The music, the concerts, I love it, it's just amazing, it's fun and a lot of excitement," Bush said.
Of course fans are not the only ones preparing for the four-day country music party. Crews have been hard at work setting up for opening day.
Kelly Tucker-Johns, general manager of Jamboree in the Hills, said last year was a record-breaking year for them and they are excited for another great year.
"My favorite thing of course is this great Jambo family we have, which is all of our dedicated hard workers that come back every year and of course when the show kicks off on Thursday, just to see all of the fans having an amazing time makes all of our hard work worth it," Tucker-Jones said.
Bregi and Bush said they are most excited for Brantley Gilbert.
"Brantley Gilbert, I saw him with Eric Church a few years ago. He's just phenomenal. We've been waiting for him to come here for years," Bush said.
"Anxious to see him, I think he's going to put on a good show," Bregi said.
Tucker-Jones said fans she spoke with are excited for the headliners and Sunday's line-up.
"Always our headliners, you know Keith Urban, Tim McGraw this year but our Sunday this year is a lot of classic country, Joe Diffie, Neal McCoy. Always a fan favorite so we have a lot of feedback that Sunday's their favorite this year," Tucker-Jones said.
Gates open Monday, July 14 for campers to come in.

DETROIT - JANUARY 29: Steve Ott #29 of the Dallas Stars skates against Jiri Hudler #26 of the Detroit Red Wings at Joe Louis Arena on January 29, 2009 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Dave Sandford/Getty Images)
With a potential lockout looming, it's becoming increasingly more difficult for Buffalo forward Steve Ott to remain hopeful. Raring to go with his new team - the Sabres - after an offseason trade from Dallas, Ott spoke with cautious optimism on Monday before a golf outing benefiting the Buffalo Sabres Foundation. He wants to play. He can't wait to play. But he knows that might not happen. For a while. ''It's tough,'' said Ott, who was obtained from the Stars in July for forward Derek Roy. ''The players are looking for a fair deal. We want to play, and we want to get going. I think every single guy is ready to go. It would be a complete shame if the doors are locked by ownership.'' After the entire 2004-05 season was lost due to labor struggles, the NHL is heading toward another work stoppage. The collective bargaining agreement expires Sept. 15. And for players who are looking to make fresh starts on new teams - like Ott - any delay makes it that much harder to get acclimated.

Hotel was good - although our focus in Leh was not the hotel or the stay.More » « Less
We were onto a bike trip from Manali - so basically we were in a adventurous mood expecting very little from the hotels.
But anyway, the staff here were full of warmth and dedication - room was good. In summer, one might need some fan there which they provide immediately.
Restaurant food taste was good but the time taken for serving the food was some irrationally long.
Overall a nice experience there.

We wanted to stay in a family atmosphere and we got that here. The location was very nice. Rent wise it was fine. Its just that we did not take any meals here. It was mainly for accommodation. It is not very fancy or extra ordinary but pretty neat and clean for staying with family. The staffs were helpful but as we went in the off season so there were not many people to serve.But totally we had a good stay.More » « Less

"Good interiors, spacious bathroom &..."
- Posted Aug 13, 2009
Good interiors, spacious bathroom & excellent service, this is what I will say if you ask me our overall experience at Rafica. After checking out 2 � 3 other hotels in Leh our driver Alibhai led us to this place whose owner was a friend of his. We were showed two rooms Normal Room (Ground Floor � Rs. 700) & Deluxe room (2 nd Floor � Rs. 1000). After seeing the rooms & hearing the specially discounted price we decided to increase our budget a little & opted for deluxe room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this place. The rooms are spacious with very good interiors. The wooden interiors keep the room warm even when the outside temperature is chilling. The bathroom is large & enough space is provided for keeping our things & luggage. Hotel staff is courteous & always smiling. We were very much satisfied with their service. They even helped us in getting innerline permits for Nubra Valley & Pangong Tso at a nominal charge. Even our rafting trip (From Chilling to Nimmu) was arranged by them at the same rate as other operators in the market charge. Since the hotel is located just off the main market road all the essential services like Internet Caf�, STD Booth, Travel agents, good restaurants are located at a walking distance. Overall we were more than satisfied with our stay at the place.More » « Less
Best Experience: 1] Room interiors are excellent. Wooden finish makes you feel warmer.
2] Service is good; staff is very courteous & always helpful.
3] Their Fresh Lime Soda (Salty) was amazing. We loved it.
4] Since we had to go to Nubra Valley for one night they offered us to keep our excess luggage in the same room we were staying & when we returned our things were there exactly as we had kept it.
Worst Experience: 1] Not exactly worst but the view from the window did not open to a fabulous view as you would expect to see when you are in such a beautiful place.
2] Sometimes we had to remind them to switch on the hot water supply, without which you cannot have bath in Leh especially during Mornings & evenings.
