L.A. City Council Jumps On The Body-Armor Band Wagon
Following last month's state appeals court ruling overturning California's ban on body armor for ex-felons convicted of violent crimes, the Los Angeles City Council is poised to consider a similar law that would apply locally.
The Los Angeles Police Protective League, the union representing rank-and-file Los Angeles Police Department cops, was livid after the ruling, and it has urged Attorney General Jerry Brown to challenge it at the state Supreme Court level, a move he has vowed to undertake. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck and San Francisco police Chief George Gascon have also decried the ruling, saying it would make criminals on the street more brazen when dealing with police.
The body armor issue has been a bonanza, in fact, for state and local leaders, it's a wonder that it took the City Council this long to zero in on such an easy political score. It's certainly simpler to enact laws like this -- which will probably be superseded on a state level anyway -- than to deal with the city's looming, $400 million deficit, its lack of a medical-marijuana-dispensary ordinance, or its difficulty in hiring cops.
This is a political no-brainer, and Councilman Dennis Zine, a reserve officer, was all over it, making the proposal to the council, which has yet to vote on the idea.

"Whatever happens, we want to be able to do something locally, and I also hope that other jurisdictions within the state of California will join in this,'' he said. "It's definitely critical to our officers."
Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley got in on the action at the end of last month, writing legislation that would reenact and clarify a statewide ban. He told the Weekly that Sen. Alex Padilla might carry the proposal in Sacramento.
The last ban was overturned because the state appeals court ruled that the language was too vague for the average person to understand its definition of body armor. The case stemmed from a 2007 Los Angeles police stop of a convicted murderer who was out on parole. The man was wearing body armor, but his lawyers argued successfully that the language of the law was too confusing for him to have known better.
The original state law was passed in 1998, one year after the North Hollywood shootout in which two men armed with assault rifles and sporting bullet-proof vests traded bullets with cops with impunity.

In this article by David Murdico on prdaily.com, the author provides a list of ideas for using video in public relations. We've been doing broadcast PR for many of the top agencies in town for years, so we can help with many of these ideas, and have a few more of our own:
1) Highlight videos: These quickly summarize the media elements produced for a campaign, including print and broadcast media samples as well as the resulting impressions and the media outlets that used the pieces.
2) Public opinion videos: These man-on-the-street styled videos are great for pitches to demonstrate primary research.

Friday Happy Hour: Winter Citrus CocktailPosted: January 20, 2012 Filed under: recipes | Tags: blood orange, cocktail, happy hour, tgif, vodka, winter citrus 2 Comments
I love cocktails. They remind me of summer and vacations. I rarely have them in the winter because there is something about cold weather than makes me want to drink red wine and eat red meat. This past weekend I got bored of wine and decided to try making a cocktail from the blood oranges I have seen popping up in grocery stores and markets during this time of year. I was also inspired by this post.
Although this may not come as much of a surprise, I try to keep the sugar content of my cocktails to a minimum. There is nothing I hate more than being served some neon colored "girly" drink at a bar, and having it taste like a melted lollipop. Besides the high cavity factor, combining sugar and alcohol will make that next day hangover much worse. Using fresh squeezed juice in your cocktails will increase the flavor, limit the sugar content and make them that much more special.
I was also dying to try this vodka from Moscow I received as a gift.
Winter Citrus Cocktail for 2:
6 Blood Oranges (feel free to substitute other types of citrus or mix and match)
Agave Syrup to taste (I ended up not using this, but you prefer something a bit sweeter agave is a great sugar substitute)
8oz Vodka
Squeeze citrus juice with a juicer (I got mine at Ikea for $5), combine with vodka and agave and serve over ice! Super simple. I was actually amazed at how the blood orange flavor masked the vodka taste, without being too sweet like a regular orange would be. If 4 oz of vodka is a bit much for you, try 3 or 2, I just prefer to have a few strong drinks than a bunch of weak ones, which increase the sugar and calorie content for no reason! Enjoy and TGIF!

Parker County authorities arrest Waxahachie man in golf tournament scam
Authorities say a Waxahachie man duped numerous people in Texas and Arkansas with fake golf tournaments, food drives and other types of cons.
John Mark Moyers, 50, was taken into custody March 24, accused of felony theft over accusations that he scammed local businesses out of thousands for a fake golf tournament in Weatherford. He remains held on the Parker County jail in lieu $7,500 bail.
Authorities believe Moyers perpetrated nearly one dozen similar scams in Texas and Arkansas over the last two years, raking in as much as $70,000, according to a news release outlining Moyers' alleged misdeeds.
"Our investigators discovered Mr. Moyers was conducting a food drive scam to collect canned foods and cash to benefit area charities and local food banks, but in reality, he was keeping all of the proceeds and using them at his discretion," Parker County Sheriff's Lt. Mike Camp said.
Police say they discovered the con job when a victim of a scam in Little Rock, told the Weatherford golf course about Moyers.
In his Weatherford hotel room, authorities found receipt books, showing he'd collected more than $5,000 from the fake Weatherford tournament, authorities said.
Police say Moyers would tell the golf courses that he planned to reserve the course for a tournament. He'd then promote the event, but would not pay the deposit, police said.
As part of the ruse, he collected entry fees, donations, gift cards, door prizes and money from area businesses before skipping town, police said.
Moyers told investigators he used the ill-gotten profits to support himself for more than two years while living in hotels.
In Moyers' Weatherford hotel room, police also seized items and cash for other scams involving businesses in a number of Texas cities, including Hillsboro, Whitney, Arlington, Austin, Round Rock, Clyde, Mesquite, Abilene and Buffalo Gap.
The Weatherford-Parker County Special Crimes Unit conducted the investigation.

Seawolves Take Out Sacred Heart, 24-14
Oct. 19, 2002
STONY BROOK, N.Y. (AP) - Scott Bard threw touchdown passes of 15 and 67 yards to Londre Blocker and Stony Brook went on to a 24-14 victory over Sacred Heart on Saturday. It was the Seawolves third straight win in their new facility which was renamed Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium in honor of the New York State Senator who helped make the new stadium at Stony Brook a reality.
Bard was 12-of-23 for 144 yards for the Seawolves (4-2, 3-2 Northeast Conference), and Blocker had six receptions for 133 yards.
Chad King returned an interception 90 yards with 7:36 left in the fourth quarter to give Stony Brook a 24-7 lead. For King it was his fourth interception of the year and his third big return for a touchdown this season. King returned a kickoff 94 yards and punt 67 yards for a TD in the season opener against St. John's.
Joe Kroells finished 21-of-41 for 216 yards for the Pioneers (3-3, 3-2), including a 10-yard touchdown pass to Marlon Ward with 6:08 to play in the game.
Bard's 15-yard pass to Blocker came four minutes into the game, while their 67-yard pass play came with 4:10 left in the first quarter. Michael Soto's 41-yard field goal made it 17-0 with 5:57 to go in the first half.
Eric Hernandez cut the lead to 17-7 with a 50-yard run with 2:24 left in the half.
Stony Brook is back in action next Saturday when they hit the road for a non-conference matchup against Siena at 1 p.m.

The National Jewish Health IRB utilizes a primary reviewer system for continuing review. The review encompasses the entire study and evaluates whether the anticipated risks and benefits are reflected in the actual experience of research subjects. However, the main focus is on the progress of the study since the last renewal. The periodic review also assesses whether the safeguards in place at initial approval remain adequate to ensure the safety of the current participants and whether information about any study should be communicated to those no longer in the study.
The National Jewish Health IRB determines the continuing review interval for all IRB approved studies. Exempt protocols do not require continuing review, but may be subject to periodic status inquiries.
A study is eligible for continuing review by expedited process if the IRB finds that the study meets the criteria outlined in the regulations or under any of the following three conditions:
For multi-centered trials, the condition will be applied to the National Jewish Health site only.
A continuing review notice is provided as a courtesy. The Principal Investigator is responsible for ensuring timely submission of renewal documents. The Principal Investigator and the IRB Contact will receive a single notice from the IRB office approximately 6 weeks prior to the expiration date of the protocol. No additional notices will be sent.
It is responsibility of the PI to ensure that a complete continuing review packet is submitted by no later than the date indicated in the continuing review notice.
Once the study approval expiration date passes, the study approval is considered expired. In such a case, if the continuing review report has been submitted and the review is in progress, the study subject enrollment must cease until the renewal is approved by the IRB. Permission must be obtained from the IRB Chairperson in order to continue treatment of currently-enrolled subjects.
If the continuing review report is not submitted to the IRB by the study expiration date, the protocol will be administratively closed.
After the review has been completed the IRB may require that the principal investigator provide responses to stipulations--sometimes including clarification or verifications of information presented in the report or the submission of documentation not included with the submission.
The PI must respond to each stipulation, in writing, including "tracked-changes" and clean versions of any document requiring changes.
If changes to the informed consent documents are stipulated, the changes must be made to the most recently approved version of the document. Once all stipulated changes have been made to the informed consent document, the version date should be updated in the document footer.
According to federal regulations, if final renewal approval is not issued by the study's expiration date, the IRB must suspend or terminate the study and all study-related activities must stop.
If the study qualifies for expedited review, submit the signed original and one (1) copy of all materials. If unsure, please contact the IRB office.
If the study does not qualify for expedited review, submit the signed original and two (2) copies. All packets must be collated.
The discoveries made in the laboratories at National Jewish Health have a profound impact on the understanding and treatment of human disease.

Nike LunarGlide+ 4
$110, Nike.com
The draw: Daily trainer
With a silky-smooth ride and a touch of support, the LunarGlide+ 4 is an ideal daily trainer. This shoe boasts a glove-like sensation thanks to the Flywire upper design, which offers a custom-fit feel. Nike's dynamic Support in the midsole provides just a hint of pronation control without the weight of a traditional medial post. The Lunarlon foam supplies a springy, supple feel and great energy return without feeling mushy. The adaptability of the upper makes this shoe desirable for a variety of foot widths, but the toe box height is low, so runners with high- volume feet may want to look elsewhere.

What is a Vaporizer
If you're looking for the answer to " what is a vaporizer ", you came to the right place. A vaporizer is a device used to raise the temperature of a material in order to release the desired components in vapor form. The most common uses for a vaporizer is to release A desired flavor for your smoke, or smell for your aromatherapy needs. A vapor is the gas phase of a substance before that substance reaches its combustion temperature and burns or ignites into flames.
Most vaporizers on the market today use the convection method for supplying heat. The convection method works by flowing heated air over and through the material. Convection is popular because the heat is distributed evenly and the temperature is easy to control. The convection method mostly uses some sort of a ceramic heating element because ceramic holds heat very well.
Vaporizers have been around for a long time, but new advancements in technology have made vaping ( using a vaporizer ) way safer than traditional smoking methods ( such as pipes, papers, etc… ). Vaporizers dramatically reduce the numbers and amount of harmful ingredients and chemicals like smoke and tar that are found in the most popularly smoked plants and herbs. There have been many scientific tests and studies to back up these health friendly claims.
There are a wide variety of vaporizers on the market today covering all budget types. Even though quality usually comes with price, you can find some reliable and inexpensive vapes starting under $50. On the other end of the spectrum you have the well tuned machines like the infamous Volcano vaporizer that can run upwards of $500 depending on the model.
Now that you have a better understanding of " what is a vaporizer " you can begin your special journey and relationship with these marvels of technology.

Billy Budd

Billy Budd Admiration Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Loyal lieges, plain and practical, though at bottom they dissented from some points Captain Vere had put to them, they were without the faculty, hardly had the inclination, to gainsay one whom they felt to be an earnest man, one too not less their superior in mind than in naval rank. (21.39)
The narrator here explains why the members of the drumhead court fail to argue with Captain Vere. Namely, because they feel him to be "an earnest man," and because they recognize that he is "their superior in mind." Might such attitudes be called admiration? Is it possible to recognize that a person is earnest and not to admire them for it? How about recognizing that they're superior in mind?
Quote #8
Stooping over, he kissed on the fair cheek his fellow man, a felon in martial law, one whom though on the confines of death he felt he could never convert to a dogma; nor for all that did he fear for his future. (24.8)
What is it about Billy that inspires the chaplain's admiration? By eschewing (deliberately avoiding or refuting) dogma, is Billy an example of a man with a higher spiritual understanding or a lower one?
Quote #9
"God bless Captain Vere!" (25.2)
Here are Billy's last words before being hanged. Do you think that he utters these words out of admiration or out of pity? Does he utter them because he respects the decision that Captain Vere has made or because he realizes that Captain Vere is about to go half-mad with guilt?

Unless you are already at Gigabit behind your Belkin, or are
particularly cash strapped, you are probably better-off just upgrading
things to Gigabit Ethernet rather than trying to juggle multiple NICs.

John Valentine Pliska was 18 when he immigrated from Austria to Texas with his family, settling on a farm near LaGrange. In 1903 he set out to find his fortune and wound up working in a blacksmith shop in Midland owned by W. A. Greasewood Smith. He learned to forge branding irons and repair windmills. The events that would inspire him to build his own aircraft were taking place at Kitty Hawk, N. C. that same year.
John Pliska and his good friend Gray Coggin began building their version of a flying machine in 1906. In 1909 he opened his own blacksmith shop. Working nights in the shop, the two fashioned a wooden frame and propeller. John traveled to Sandusky, Ohio and purchased an engine on the installment plan. Their plane, when finished, had a wing span of 32 feet, eight inches, a length of 26 feet eight inches, a height of 7 feet and weighed in at 750 pounds. It was the first airplane to be built and flown in Texas
In 1910, or 1912, by some accounts, they flew the plane at quarter-mile stretches on a dry lake bed six miles northwest of Midland. Other flights ranging between one and two miles were made either at this ranch site or at Halff Polo Field 3 miles southeast of Midland. When the plane failed to fly because of a cranky engine at a public event in Odessa on the fourth of July, 1912, Pliska shipped the engine back to Ohio and stored the plane in the rafters of his blacksmith shop, where it remained until the shop was torn down in 1962. His family donated the plane to the city of Midland. It was restored and now sits atop a pole, hovering over the Visitor Information Center in the central lobby area of the Midland International Airport Terminal Building.
The box is located at the airport near the Commemorative Air Force Museum (formally Confederate Air Force). From I-20, halfway between Midland and Odessa, take Ranch Road 1788 north to the airport entrance, road 217, left on Windecker St., then right on Wright Dr. The museum is located at the end of this street. Take the time to visit the museum, which houses many WWII airplanes.
To the box:
When you reach the museum, you will see a sign listing the Airpower Heritage Museum, the American Airpower Heritage Foundation and the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum. At the base of the sign, on the right side as you face it, you will find the camo letterbox hidden under a rock.

Sudarshan Sukhani, Technical Trends, in a chat with ET Now talks about Patni and Tech Mahindra.
What's the sense on both Patni Computers and Tech Mahindra, are they good buys?
No, not really. For Tech Mahindra, it has been an underperformer. So it has rallied today because Satyam has rallied and I would not go and buy Tech Mahindra, especially when I have better choices. Patni is a mid-cap IT stock and mid-cap IT stocks look ready for another rally. So there there is a buying opportunity on a dip or even at current levels. But Tech Mahindra is no.

Responding to intense pressure from Major League Baseball, San Jose officials on Wednesday agreed not to place a downtown ballpark initiative on the ballot until spring.
The about-face by Mayor Chuck Reed and members of the City Council capped a roller-coaster ride that began last week, when Reed announced plans to let voters weigh in this fall on the stadium proposal. Baseball officials, who after a 16-month review still have not decided whether the Oakland A's should be allowed to move to San Jose, said they were "surprised and disappointed" by Reed's move.
And to persuade him to reconsider, they offered to help pay to put the question on a special spring ballot, if necessary — which would cost at least $1 million.
Reed on Wednesday said that he and his fellow council members "agreed that the right course of action is to honor the commissioner's request," referring to baseball Commissioner Bud Selig.
But Reed also acknowledged that the tactic had helped push the matter forward after months of public silence from baseball officials.
"It was a way to help get the process moving, to try to get them to act more quickly," he said.
Added Councilman Sam Liccardo, who represents downtown: "The commissioner's offer to help pay for a possible election in the spring was the first indication that the league is inching closer to a decision on territorial rights."
The San Francisco Giants currently hold baseball's rights to the South Bay and have argued strenuously against the A's move, saying it would decimate their sponsorship and ticket revenues.
Wednesday, representatives from the team and from Stand for San Jose — a group of residents backed by the Giants to fight against a downtown stadium — declined to comment on the city's move.
Marc Morris, a spokesman for another anti-ballpark group, called Better Sense San Jose, said he remains neutral on the timing of the election and is more concerned about how A's owner Lew Wolff will deliver on his promise to build a $461 million stadium with no public money.
Should Wolff receive baseball's blessing to move, the city has offered him a 14-acre parcel it's buying near the Diridon train station. San Jose also would pay millions to upgrade streets and other infrastructure around the park.
Before any public money can be spent on a stadium, however, city voters have to give their approval. The question before Wednesday was, when should that vote take place?
Citing an Aug. 3 deadline to place a measure on the November ballot, Reed last week said he could no longer wait for a panel appointed by Selig to decide the A's fate. Reed and others predicted that a show of support from voters would ease any lingering concerns within baseball about whether to give Wolff the nod.
But Selig called Reed's decision "premature," and after talks with MLB President Bob DuPuy this week, Reed and Wolff agreed the council should wait to put the matter to a vote.
Wolff, who was traveling Wednesday, said in a statement that San Jose "has shown a gritty determination to help us build a new ballpark."
"We look forward to a final decision from the commissioner," said Wolff, a college fraternity brother of Selig's, "and will vigorously pursue an election next year if that decision is a positive one."
While the City Council's agenda-setting Rules Committee, which Reed heads, on Wednesday voted not to move forward on the ballot issue, it agreed to place two related items on the council's regular meeting agenda on Tuesday. They include a resolution of support to bring the A's to San Jose and amended negotiation principles for the proposed ballpark.
The committee also voted to send four other proposed measures to the full council Tuesday for a decision on whether to place them on the fall ballot. Those measures call for raising the city's sales tax by a quarter-cent, taxing medicinal marijuana providers and changing the city charter to lower retirement benefits for new city workers as well as limit pay and benefit increases arbitrators can award police and firefighters.
Union leaders oppose the retirement and arbitration measures, and cannabis clubs have criticized the city manager's recommendation for a 10 percent tax on medical marijuana. Business and neighborhood leaders said they would oppose a new sales tax, which Reed and Councilman Pete Constant said they also would not support.
A handful of speakers, mostly in favor of a ballpark, addressed the issue at Wednesday's meeting.
"Even though we were ready to ramp up for a November campaign, we're not going to slow down," said Michael Mulcahy, co-chairman of Baseball San Jose, a booster group that's pledged to help fund any ballot initiative. The delay, he said, has only given the group more time to assemble "a thoughtful and well-funded campaign in March."
But Susan Bailey, an Almaden Valley Community Association director, remains opposed to using depleted city resources for a ballpark.
"At a time when we are under such duress with all the economic problems, I do not think this is the time to be thinking about spending money on a facility that is not necessary," she said.
If an election occurs this spring, the city clerk's office has said it would likely fall on March 8.
The proposed ballot language that had been submitted last week, which is based on the council-approved negotiating principles, required that the A's be responsible for building, operating and maintaining a new MLB ballpark.
And no new taxes could be raised to bring baseball to San Jose.

A Tour of the Ann Bean Mansion
It was 1944, and he remembered her perfectly. She saw him off that dreary morning, and more than one sailor whistled while walking past the couple on the boarding deck. She was beautiful. While she wore only a simple cream blouse and modest paisley skirt, she was radiant; her soft wavy hair blew about her in auburn waves, her eyes reflected the heart of the ocean, her movements were pure liquid. He kissed her and promised he'd return with a diamond the size of Paris.
She settled for a simple band, which suited her more, anyway. And as they celebrated their 60th anniversary, he mused at the wallpaper. "Darling," he said as he turned to her, "do you remember that paisley skirt you wore...?"
Framed by a bay window, the luxury king-size canopy bed demands a little romance!

Start Date: Jan 10, 2014
End Date: May 30, 2014
Experimental Design: Study 1: A randomized complete block design with five sites will be used to evaluate the effects of treatments on vegetation and soil characteristics. Each site consists of five 30 x 50 m plots randomly assigned to the different treatments with a 2-m buffer between treatments. This results in 25 plots (5 sites X 5 treatments = 25 plots). In 2010, three of the plots in at each site were fall prescribed burned and then treated with imazapic (Plateau®), used as a pre-emergence herbicide. In the fall of 2011, these plots were randomly assigned and seeded with a mix of introduced, native, or introduced-native species. In 2011, another plot at each site was fall prescribed burned and treated with imazapic. This plot was immediately seeded with an introduced species mix to determine if seeding can occur without waiting one growing season after applying imazapic. The fifth plot at each site will be the control (non-treated) plot. Study 2: A randomized complete block design with six sites will be used to evaluate different spring applied treatment to control medusahead and promote seeded perennial grasses. The following nine treatments will be randomly assigned to 7 X 7 m plots separated by a 1-m buffer at each site: prescribed spring burn, contact herbicide application, pre-emergent herbicide application, combination of spring burning and pre-emergent herbicide application, combination contact and pre-emergent herbicide application, untreated (control) that will be seeded, and a control that will not be seeded. This will result in 54 plots (9 treatments X 6 sites = 54 plots). All treated plots will be seeded in the fall with a mixture containing crested wheatgrass and native perennial grasses.

Supporters Night a great success!!!
Yesterday evenings Supporters Night proved a resounding success as Titans Head Coach Lee Blackett and his back-room staff fielded questions from a bustling clubhouse at Clifton Lane.
Supporters in attendance also took the opportunity to join the Supporters Club (£5 annual membership) and order their double-header tickets for the Titans opening game of the season against Moseley at Castle Park, Doncaster.
Please continue to order your double-header tickets from Rotherham Rugby Club, as purchasing them from Doncaster means the Titans lose out on vital revenues. For example, on a £5 concession ticket bought from Doncaster, Rotherham Rugby Club would receive just 62 pence!!!
Last Night
Lee and his team fielded questions from the floor for around an hour and he plans to repeat the experience in the near future. Lee views the interaction of players and supporters as a crucial part of a successful rugby club and intends to make the players more accessible moving forward (watch this space for details).
Lee explained to a busy clubhouse how he'd not just recruited a group of talented rugby players, but he'd done his background checks to make sure the club recruited the "right" people with the "right attitude" and any player's not putting in the necessary hard work or showing enough heart for the task ahead; they would find it very difficult to find a spot in the team.
Lee told how he would not be making any predictions of where the club would finish in the league, but did add that the current crop of Titans would be the fittest set of players ever at Clifton Lane!
He went on to explain that his philosophy on the game would be demonstrated by an exciting brand of rugby and he specifically spoke of how he wants to see the ball moved very quickly away from the breakdown area and a fast tempo set within games.
The British & Irish Cup competition will see the Titans strive to progress from their group assured Lee, who stated that every game has an equal importance for the team. He added that there would be only two or three changes made to the team for B&I Cup matches, as he felt making wholesale changes devalued the competition and was grossly unfair on the players coming into the team.
Lee will be leading the way again next Tuesday at Clifton Lane as his Titans XI cricket side take on a Supporters XI. The match will start at 5:30pm and afterwards in the bar Lee will announce his squad Captain and Vice Captain.
There will also be another opportunity to join the Supporters Club and to order your double-header tickets for the Titans first game of the season.
To order your double-header tickets now, just print off the application form below and send in to the club (Tony Jenkinson, Rotherham Titans, Clifton Lane, Rotherham, S60 2SN) with your cheque made payable to RRUFC 2004 Limited.
The club would like to thank all its supporters who have already placed their orders for double-header tickets.

Whenever I post pictures of my family room, I get questions about my sofa. And since I just splurged on a major update to it, I thought I'd give you all the details.
I am a firm believer in buying a high-quality, classic sofa whenever possible. Mostly because I've made several mistakes in that area and ended up with one sofa that literally fell apart in less than 2 years and another one that was so huge with it's crazy, flared arms that it looked like a mini-van in my living room. I still have that beast, but it's been relegated to the playroom where the kids can pretend it's the space shuttle.
The main sofa in our family room was purchased at Ethan Allen over 8 years ago. It's the Bennett Sofa and it comes in a huge array of fabrics and patterns. I love it's classic rolled arms and loose cushions. Personally, I prefer the loose-back cushions because you can flip and rotate them to get more even wear.
We bought it when the store was having a floor sample clearance sale, so it was a great deal. But I can honestly tell you that I have never been happier with a furniture purchase. After 8 years, the cushions still look like new and it's structurally perfect. The fabric was starting to fade and wear, but I think that's to be expected with 2 boys, 1 man and lots of daily abuse.
Here's what it looked like a few weeks ago…Your basic olive green color.
But one of the best things about this sofa is that you can buy a custom slipcover for a very reasonable (in my opinion) price. (It was about $350 on sale.) It's one of main reasons I picked out this sofa 8. long. years. ago. Even then,
I knew I would want to slipcover it someday. Little did I know it would take me 8. long. years. to do it.
But now, I'm so excited I could squeal! In fact, I did squeal.
The brown and cream ticking stripes work so perfectly with the natural colors in room already. But it's still neutral enough to pair up with lots of other colors. I briefly toyed with buying a white slipcover, but I learned that I'm not a white fabric girl back when I was picking out new bedding.
I love being able to take off the slipcover and wash it every once in a while. And since it's custom-made for this sofa, it fits like a glove. No flopping around and constant straightening.
So there you go. The Big Sofa Update 2011. There's still plenty of cush for my tush, so I'm hoping we can get another 8 years out of it.
Of course now, I'm looking around the room at all of the things that I can change since the sofa has a fresh new look. It's a sickness.

This article looks at a survey conducted among customer experience professionals and why they are more focused on increasing text analytics and VOC software than traditional marketing research.
A couple of things jumped out at me as I read summaries of findings from recent studies on customer experience (CX) professionals conducted by the Temkin Group, a Waban, Mass., customer experience research and consulting firm.
The first is, these people really seem to love their jobs. Among the 283 respondents surveyed for one of the studies, 98 percent of CX pros said they think they are in a great industry. Further, 49 percent think their efforts had a positive impact in 2012 and 75 percent expect to have a positive impact in 2013.
Customer experience also seems like a growth area, as 46 percent of CX pros expect their firm to expand their full-time CX staff this year, up from 40 percent last year. And just over half (54 percent) expect their companies to spend more on CX in 2013 than they did in 2012.
Which brings me to the other noteworthy data bit. When asked to indicate the vendors whose services they expect to increase spending on in 2013, the CX workers put text analytics and voice-of-the-customer software vendors at the top of the list. At the bottom? Market research firms.
For some insights on the reasons for MR's poor showing, I checked in with Bruce Temkin, managing partner of the Temkin Group. In his view, many market research firms are in danger of falling behind if they don't keep up with a radical change happening in the world of customer insights – one that has seen a host of other sources supplant marketing research as a key vehicle by which to monitor customer behaviors, opinions and needs.
"In the 'old world,' companies would periodically do research on customers that would lead to analysis by market research people, who would analyze the data and create some PowerPoint slides. The results might have initiated some action by the company but all too often the good intentions for making change dissipated quickly after the presentation of results," Temkin says.
"In the 'new world,' customer insights are delivered to people who run the operations on a regular basis. Instead of a single set of PowerPoint slides, store managers, call-center supervisors and retail category managers receive an ongoing set of insights that are tailored to their specific roles."
Thus it would seem that the need for the data-generating services of traditional research firms is decreasing as companies have access to more and more real-time (or nearly real-time) data on their customers from sources other than the usual ad hoc research study, such as e-mails to the company, conversations with call-center agents and social media dialogues.
"As companies get a better handle on this unstructured data and combine it with other things that they know about customers from feedback systems, CRM and ERP applications, then the amount of useful operational insights will grow dramatically. Companies will increasingly depend on these ongoing operational insights to run their businesses," Temkin says.
Which is where the text analytics firms have stepped in. "The text analytics vendors have dramatically improved the ability of companies to analyze large volumes of this free-form data. This is an area that will continue to increase in importance as companies look for new insights in different areas of unstructured data."
All of this is yet another indication that research firms – and in-house corporate research departments – need to move beyond "merely" serving as facilitators of data-gathering. There is no shortage of data. In fact, there's too much of it. Rather than helping clients get more data, researchers need to help them analyze and maximize the information they already have.
