Don't Forget Your Home Office When it Comes to Home Decor!
Telecommuting and running home businesses are so common these days that the home office has become ubiquitous. But when it comes to home improvement and home decor, people often overlook their home offices - even if they spend eight hours a day there.
Your desk may be your workstation, but that doesn't mean you have to forego style. Forget the industrial look of a metal desk, and instead opt for furniture that is an extension of your home decor. You might love the richness of beautiful cherry wood, or you may like the minimalism and futuristic style of glass.
If your home office is in a room that does double duty - for example, as a guest bedroom - you may want an all-in-one set that more closely resembles an armoire. On the other hand, if your home office is your primary place of business, you may need something larger, such as a corner desk with a center computer station and work surfaces to either side.
Your Chair
Embrace both comfort and style when selecting a chair for your home office. If the room is fairly large and you select a cherry or walnut desk, for example, a leather executive chair might be a nice touch. If you don't have a lot of room, you may want to try an ergonomic kneeling chair. A wooden chair with back slats and a leather seat builds a bridge between functionality and interior home decor, or you can opt for the latest trend in office chairs - a chair with a frameless back that shapes itself to your body.
The amount and type of storage space you will need depends upon how you utilize your home office. If you primarily use the space for Web browsing and paying bills, you won't need advanced storage solutions. However, if your home office is your primary place of business, you may need the equivalent of drawers, cabinets, and bookshelves. Again, keep in mind that this room doesn't need to replicate a place of business; the goal is to integrate the space with the rest of your interior home decor. For example, if you need a file cabinet but don't have to access it everyday, you can drape a piece of fabric over it, much as you would an end table. Or, you can opt to buy a cart that features wicker file bins, which provides all the functionality you need without sacrificing style.
Personal Touches
Be sure to incorporate personal touches into your home office. A beautiful shade of paint, framed family photos, a small indoor fountain, and creative lighting can make it a pleasure to work from home. When designing your home improvement plan, be sure to create a home office that features colors, fabrics, and objects that make your heart soar.

The LA Chock (and the smaller footprint LA Trailer Chock) is an innovative and secure parking stand that can be adjusted to fit any size motorcycle tire. Use the LA Chock on your garage floor to provide secure, upright storage for your motorcycle. Just place the stand on the floor and push or ride the motorcycle into the stand. The patented stand clamps onto the front tire and securely holds the motorcycle upright. You can now get off the bike and perform cleaning or maintenance tasks. Mount the LA Chock or the LA Trailer Chock in a trailer and your towing worries are over. Loading is as easy as riding the bike into the stand. Once in, you can get off the bike and secure the bike with straps without someone else having to hold the bike up for you. Another great benefit of using the LA Chock is that no front tie downs are necessary. Just secure the rear of the motorcycle with straps and the chock does the rest.

Do I need the standard LA Chock or the LA Trailer Chock?
The LA Chock is for use in the garage as a parking stand and also in a trailer where you have ample room to place motorcycles anywhere. If you're limited on the space inside your trailer you might want to consider the LA Trailer Chock. The two are mechanically identical, the LA Trailer Chock just has a smaller footprint. Whichever one you choose, you'll be able to adjust it to fit your tire perfectly for maximum stability and ease of use.
The LA Trailer Chock is primarily for use in a trailer where room is limited. The smaller footprint allows placement of the chock in a tighter area and will allow you to mount the chock closer to the front wall of the trailer or pickup truck. While it can be used in the garage, the smaller footprint makes it somewhat less stable than the standard LA Chock. The LA Trailer Chock is ideal if you're going to leave it in the trailer permanently.
The Bolt Down Kit
The bolt down kit provides quick and secure mounting in a trailer - especially where there is no easy access to the underneath of the trailer. The kit makes mounting and removing your chock quick and easy.

Feedback on LA Chock and LA Trailer Chock
|Thank you for an excellent product. It came out of the box and was set up and ready to go in a matter of minutes.
Here is a photo of my 2006 Road King Custom with a 21" front wheel perfectly placed in my LA Chock. Now the bike stands straight and takes less room in the garage. My wife is happy!
|Thank you, sir. I am having a new enclosed motorcycle trailer built, and there was no question in my mind about what kind of chock I wanted to use: Baxley's. It's simple, but it works very well. And, I don't need to worry about dropping the bike while I try to strap it down (or unstrap it at the other end). Lou C. (age 61)
|bought your wheel chock & am very impressed with the quality & ease of use. I headind out on a 3,000 mile vacation towing my bike & for the first time I feel really confident that it will stay in place the whole trip. Thanks for a great product Jim Rusinko
|Jerome, One of the folks on the Goldwing forum was selling one of your Sport chocks. He triked his Wing and no longer needed it. Based on what you said below, I bought it from him. I liked it so much, I just ordered one of your LA chocks and mounting brackets for both. This is just a quick thank you again for the info and thanks for the great products!
|Mr.Baxley: I have used your chalk for many years. I consider it THE BEST bike chalk bar none. I just had to have my ST1300 towed from my home , 40 mi. away to Hilton Head Honda. When the employee arrived w/a flat std. trailer-no chalk....I asked how he was going to tow my 700+ lb. bike? He said he had 9 yrs. experience in towing bikes. I then saw him get out like....ten tie downs. Oh no.....I said! Here is my Baxley Chalk use IT! It saved my bike on a 920 mi. trip from Missouri to Georgia. The mechanic was so IMPRESSED once he rode the bike into the chalk...he said he was going to demand his boss buy one! Kaaaching! Do I get sales-commission? :o) Get product guys! I'm sold!!! God Bless, Douglas Grindstaff
Thanks so much for your help again. I tried the adapter when I got home and it worked beautifully! I cannot stress how pleased and impressed I am that the same unit adapts from a 250cc scooter that weighs 350# to a 1400cc full-dress touring bike that weighs 980# - and does it very quickly w/ minimal tools! I was 100% sold on your product before I had the need to use it for a scooter. Talk about the icing on the cake!! I will surely continue to promote your product to anyone I know that is looking for a chock.
I've attached a few pics of my wife's 2004 Honda Reflex 250cc scooter in my LA chock, equipped with the scooter adapter.
Thanks again and have a wonderful day!
Mark Musial
|Mr. Baxley: A friend advised me to buy your Chalk when I told him I was transporting my bike 900+ miles in the back of a U-Haul! He was so right! To make the long story short, U-Haul's truck broke down, they did a "transfer move" and never SECURED my ST1300 down properly. It turns out that after the last 500 miles of the move, the L.A. Chalk saved my bike. Even though everything else in the truck tipped over, my bike was upright! (Even though I THOUGHT) it was harnessed down. Great product and I use it in the garage all the time. My son keeps trying to "borrow" it! Thanx for a great tool! Douglas Grindstaff
|On my brother-in-law's recommendation, I purchased the LA Chock. Boy am I glad I did. I love it! Whether I'm working on my bike in the shop or loading it on the trailer, I can use the chock without any assistance. I have recommended it to all my biker friends. T.R., Fayetteville NC
|Hi Cindy, Ordered my LA Chock and received it in Idaho thanks so much !! Very impressed with your product ….. my buddy who came along for the ride want one now too lol Thanks again, Colin Newton, Calgary
|Hey I bought two of your chocks from the Harley Davidson dealer in Montgomery Alabama mounted them on my trailer and took my Son and my bike to FT Morgan and those chocks worked great I65 South is very ruff road but those bike's moved very little thanks for such a great product. Jeff
|I've had my LA Trailer Chock for two years and used it with an Excelsior Henderson, a Gold Wing, a Harley Road King, two scooters, a Honda 250, and a V-Star 650. The LA Chock supported each one of them perfectly with easy adjustments between bikes. I've used it in my enclosed trailer, in my truck bed, and in my garage for maintenence work. I've seen no chock anywhere for any price that could replace it. John Eustis, FL
|Melinda, I just wanted to drop you a line about how well my LA chock is working. It was delivered last friday. I read the instructions, lined it up and rolled my Yamaha Stratoliner on to the chock, perfectly stable. Now I can do basic maintenance, oil changes without struggling to keep the bike upright. Marvelous piece of engineering. Thanks for the great service and wonderful product.
Steve Lloyd Bay City, MI
|Cindy, It is a very rare thing to order a product that actually turns out to be better than expected! Your chocks have proven to be a exceptionally well made product that works as advertized. Between my riding buddy and myself we have 5 chocks, (3 sport, 1 LA trailer and 1 LA.) and they all exceed our expectations. Keep up the good work! Dale Van De Ven, Major, USAF (ret.)
|Hello Cindy, I just wanted to drop you a note of thanks for your helpfulness and promptness of shipping my 3 LA chocks and trailer kits. They all went in great and the workmanship is superb! I could not of been happie with your products! For once in a great while the money really is worth spending on such a fine product and of course your service!! Thanks again and God Bless! Chris Morris Happy Easter!
|Melinda, Thank you for your help! By the way, this is my third LA Chock and I could not be happier with the product. I have convinced several of my friends to purchase them as well. Troy
|I received the LA Trailer Chock today 4-3-07, well packed and in perfect shape.I worked for a major international aftermarket motor sports company and wheel chocks are a dime-a-dozen in our catalog(s). In spite of this fact I still opted for a Baxley LA Trailer Chock after seeing it displayed by your LV dealer at the Laughlin, NV River Run about four or five years ago. It has served me well. I recently purchased a second bike, a Bobber from Back Road Choppers in Delhi, CA, my trailer will hold two bikes, so the logical thing to do was to buy another chock. After searching the net and eBay, nothing came close to the Baxley unit, so-o-o-o, naturally I again opted for another LA Trailer Chock. SURPRISE! ……. The vertical adjustment tab has now been repositioned at a better angle, and the double gussets on the new unit are positioned apart in such a way as to keep the adjustment tab from twisting while under pressure. (I don't miss a thing) I didn't complain about the break, I just fixed the problem (a problem obviously experienced by Baxley in the past) and bought another unit to boot. The LA Trailer Chock is without a doubt, the best unit on the market, bar none! I can't wait to install it tomorrow. Thanks Melanie and Cindy, you guys were great to deal with. Russ Petrone, Bakersfield, CA
|I purchased the LA chock as a surprise for my husband at the Great American Motorcycle Show. He loves it. Thanks so much for all your help and especially for shipping so quickly. Regards, Debbie Golightly
|Mr. Mayfield, I just wanted to let you know that I received my LA chock right on time as promised. I am impressed by the quality and the time it took to reach me. Thank you for your help, Regards, Bill Sutherland
|Thank you Cindy. I received the package on 11-1. Also i wanted to let you guys know that i looked at several different stands and did like yours the best, however if I had like another over yours i would have bought from you guys due to the fact that you're a Christian company. I appreciate that and the literature that you include in your packaging. Keep up the good work. Thank you again,James Edwards
|thank you so very much for your prompt attention and courtesy! the trailer chock arrived in plenty of time to be installed and operational for my trip. it turned out to be a life-saver. it also made the usual time consuming task of trailering a bike alone, a relative breeze!!!
what a great product! it was truly a beneficial acquisition for me and my friends to use and share! to date, i have shown and even demonstrated the chock to several of my freinds and riding buddies! you might just be getting some more orders soon!!!
thanks again for your attention to me and my time sensitive case!!! you really pulled through for me in a crunch!!!!!!! thanks- deane fizzell
|Cindy, I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the LA Trailer Chock. I ordered one from you on Wednesday and received it Friday morning. I must say that the pictures of the LA Chocks does not in anyway do them justice. When you open that box and see it for first time the first thought that jumps out at you is QUALITY. It's well made with a great finish and the engineering is superb. Even though I had seen it several times at motorcycle shows it still amazed me when I received mine. The installation took no time at all and the best thing about it was you just ride your bike on and get off, even though a little scary the first time I did it, but it works. Thanks, again Rex Adams Garland, Texas
|Dear Mr. Baxley,
I thought I'd drop you a line and add my two cents' worth to the long list of compliments to your LA Chock. I bought mine from your dealer in Cockeysville, MD, and was immediately impressed by the solid workmanship (As a machinist, I know quality work at first sight). I mounted it in the bed of my Dakota and used it to haul my Honda PC800 up to Maine for my vacation. The chock is a joy to use; it locks up like a bank vault and held the bike rock-solid all the way. Great design, great execution.
I'm sending some pictures of my setup. The only hard part of the exercise was getting the bike into and out of the truck bed. Think maybe y'all might consider designing and selling some folding ramps about 3 feet longer and two feet wider than anything out on the market? Trying to get a big bike up a ramp so narrow that you can't put your feet down is a hairy proposition at best!
At any rate, congratulations on a first rate product. It's worth every penny.

|Received my L A Chock the other day! Just want to say Thank you for a great product. That's one heavy duty piece of equipment. Incredible form and function. Thank you for the quick service and the best Chock on the market.

|Greetings from Boerne, Texas!
I recently purchased 2 of your LA Chocks after shopping around and couldn't be more pleased with the quality and performance. We have a 19' Wanderer ToyBox and haul my wife's Harley Sportster and my Dyna Low Rider in it. The trailer has an open floor plan (no separate garage room) and I connected a u-bolt to the chock and hooked a chain link to the existing D-rings in the floor. We took a bouncy 800 mile trip to Big Bend recently and the LA chocks did a great job! Here are some pictures in case future customers inquire about Toy Hauler/Toy Box trailers and using your chocks:
Thanks, Bill and Elsa Scarsdale
|We love our LA Chock!! We have an enclosed Toy Hauler trailer. We took our new Road King Harley Davidson on vacation through 7 states and over 3000 miles. We did not have to bolt the LA Chock down but used heavy duty rachet tie downs with it. It never budged at all! We moved the LA Chock outside every evening to park the bike outside and it worked perfectly. We were so impressed with it! It was well worth the cost. Thank you for making such a great product!
David & Marie Carrillo
|I purchased the LA Chock at Thunderbeach - Spring 2004 from Dennis. I used it that weekend to trailer my Roadking back home. I simply placed the chock in my open utility trailer that has a mesh floor and moved it as far forward as it would go. I did not buy nor need the mounting kit. I rode the bike into it, got off and strapped down the front AND the back. It trailered rock solid. A great investment that I would recommend to anyone needing a chock.
Steve Massey
I purchased two LA chocks and two Bolt Down Kits and was very pleased with the quality of you r products. The only fault that I find is the powder coating not being cleaned out of the holes for the pins and the threads on the bolt down kits, it was a real bear trying to get the hex bolts through the center holes.
John Peeler
|Received 1st LA Chock this week within 2 days of order. EVERYTHING I read about the product in MCN & Rider is absolutely true. The workmanship, quality &customer service are all first rate. It worked so well for garage parking for my Sportster that I just ordered another for my Dyna. Thank you & keep up the good work.
John A. Becker
|Sirs: I don't mind sharing the name of the first chock that I unsuccessfully tried on my VTX1800. It was the BIKE-GRAB made, I think, in England and sold here by Driven Gear, Inc. of Charlotte, N. C. Their web address is www.bike-grab.com. I was treated most courteously by the people at Driven Gear and feel that they probably have a good product at a very good price that is, unfortunately, meant for a lighter, smaller bike than the VTX. Their misfortune in this case worked to my benefit, since the L A Chock is superior in every feature (except price, of course).
Thanks again for your great product. Please excuse my delay in answering your e-mail. I've been experiencing a lot of computer problems and have just checked the mail today.
Charles Taylor
Feel free to use my email as a testimonial for the LA Chock. I just parked my wifes Yamaha Road Star in it when we came in from our Friday nite supper ride. For any bike and especially one without a center stand the LA Chock is a must. I found out about it in my BMW Owners News. Kit J. Vercella did an article in his Consumer Interest column and had alot of good to say about it so I looked at it online and decided I needed one. I bought the matching colorY amaha Venture to my wifes Road Star so it will get the second LA Chock. Thanks again for a great product. I wish more companies would do business the way you do.
|I already have one LA chock and I am so happy with it I want another one. This has to be one of the best investments I have made in a long time. It is a quality piece of equipment and it works great. I don't know how I did without it for so long. Thanks for making such a great product.
Sincerely, Larry M Mercer
|Dear Baxley,
I just received my LA Chock and would like to congratulate you on your excellent product. I had not seen one in person, just in Roadracing World. Motorcyclist, and on your website before purchasing mine. It is much more sophisticated than I thought, and my opinion about your pricing went from "expensive" to "great deal" when I tried it for the first time... Thanks again for the great product and fast shipping,
Dennis Chung
|I live on in a "float home". My house floats in the ocean and is moored to the dock, which is also floating so to be able to park my bike beside my home safely required a stable platform. As I mentioned previously the LA Chock works perfectly for me.
Thanks again.
Ernest Burden
We had our first motorcycle track day of the year today. The weather was beautiful & the turnout was good, around 60 bikes in the pit area. I took the L.A. Chock, which I purchased a couple of months ago, to the track. It worked GREAT! There was a lot of interest from fellow motorcyclists. Everyone who saw it commented about what a great idea it was and how sturdy it was built. You will probably get at least a couple of orders from this area (Albuquerque) soon. As a mechanical designer myself, I just wanted to compliment the engineering and build quality of the chock. Truly, a top notch product.
Ray Thornton
I received this order today, and wanted to relate to someone in management that I am very pleased with the fast service, and the outstanding build quality of the unit. Really first class. I grew up in a 12 man machine shop; this quality is rare and much appreciated. Congratulations also on your patent: I am an patent attorney and engineer.
John England
|Thank you,
For a great product, I just bought a second one.
Fred Rowland
|just wanted to drop a note praising your LA Chock. I bought an enclosed trailer for my BMW K1200LT and installed the LA Chock in it. The first time I drove the bike into the chock I was truly amazed at the stability of the bike. It stood upright and more securely then with the center stand. I could get off the bike without using either the center or side stands. I then attached 2 tie downs to the rear sub frame and I was good to go!
Congratulations on a superb product. I recommended it to all the members of the K1200LT.NET group.
Scott R. Firestone, D.D.S., F.A.G.D.
|Hello from Wisconsin!
I got my LaChock today and I want to let you it blows me away. This is one quality piece of workmanship! Thank you so very much for such a great product. It is most appreciated!
Thank you very much for taking care of this. I will be traveling with the trailer on Wednesday. I used the first chock for a template and have the mounting hardware for the other one installed.
|I just received my LA Chock. It took about 10 minutes to set up. My VTX is parked in it as I write this. Your service is exceptional. I ordered it Monday and received it Tuesday. Even more impressive is the quality. This item is well designed. The quality of the materials and workmanship are exceptional. I would also like to thank you for the information on the CMA. I am a Christian and a CMA member. It is refreshing to do business with a company that works to expand the Kingdom of God. Thank You,
Graham Crosby
|Dear Dennis,
Well, the new trailer chock works just fine. A friend and I VERY CAREFULLY pulled the Rune into the chock, and there was about a finger-width clearance on both sides of the fender. As you assured me, the plate on the bottom never came close to the fender. One of the reasons I was pressing to get the chock situation solved is that I have to trailer the Rune to another city in a couple of days for service. On the old chock, I'm going to have a machine shop take off the flanges on the capture plates, which should then fit under the fender of the Rune just fine. I'll then be able to use it in my garage for service, with the new trailer chock permanently installed in my covered trailer.
I am really pleased, and I thank you, Chip, and David for all your help. As I've stated many times, Baxley Trailer Company has provided me with beautifully finished products, at a fair price, and more importantly superior after-sale service. You can be assured I'll do my best to spread the word about this excellent product, and superb company. Keep up the wonderful work.
Kind regards to you, and to all the others who have been such a help to me,
Conrad Kay
I have owned your LA Chock for about 6 mos now and I just wanted to drop you all a quick note to say how happy I am with it. I use it for my Vulcan Nomad and have found it to be a very high quality stand and it works like a charm. It has no problems holding my Nomad (700+lbs) upright and secure. Whenever any of my biker friends come over they are all impressed with it. Hopefully they have ordered one also!!
Anyway, you have a very satisfied customer here in Plano, Texas!
Thanks again!
Duane Dubay
I recently purchased you LA Chock! The quality and design are first class! I researched many wheel chocks prior to my purchase and yours is far superior to anything I saw. The chock is very substantial and made to the highest standards. I have a Big Dog motorcycle that weighs 600 + pounds and the chock holds it very securely. I really like just driving in and getting off the bike. It takes me about 1 or 2 minutes to load my bike in the trailer and I'm ready to go-amazing!! Thanks again for a great product.
P.S. When I was searching the internet for wheel chocks, your site did not come up. I found out about you from a friend who has one. As a suggestion, you may want to have a webmaster tweak your site with keywords, metatags, etc. so that you site comes up in a typical search. It's a shame to have a great product and people who would buy it not know about it.
Terry Thrower, Broker
Just received the LA Chock. I have used a friend's and know how well it works.
I'm writing this because I was please to see the Bible references on your website and then the tracts in the invoice. But I was really interested in the CMA logo. I have been a member of the Joint Heirs #112 CMA chapter in Kirkland/Redmond Wa since 1987. I have been the chapter president and am currently the sec/treasurer. I've never been to Hatfield, but would like to someday. Maybe with the chock and our trailer that can happen soon.
Thanks again
Greg Coffin
|Good evening. I've just received my LA Chock and I'd like to say that it exceeded my expectations. GREAT QUALITY! It's truly an outstanding peice of gear an worth every penny. There is one problem however. I've looked through the packaging thoroughly and it turns out that I did not receive the four countersunk bolts required for the mounting plates. Could you please send them out to me. Thank you in advance for your help.

So here's the plan: Kill the demon, steal the treasure, and retire to a life of luxury!
It sounds easy when put like that. However, most unfortunately for warrior-priest Egil and sneak thief Nix, when the demon they kill turns out to have worshippers in high places, retirement is not an option.
A wonderfully fast-paced fantasy adventure redolent of the classic tales of swords and sorcery, from New York Times best-selling author Paul S. Kemp.
©2012 Paul Kemp (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"This rollicking tale hooked me from the get-go. Egil and Nix might not be the safest guys to go adventuring with, but they're sure good company." (Ed Greenwood, creator of Forgotten Realms)
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
"4 stars standard sword and sorcery fantasy"
Since 'The Lies of Locke Lamora', I can not seem to pass any fantasy book with thieves and promise of humor. This book however is not of a caliber of 'The Lies..'. It is pretty much a standard fantasy book about two thieves who also are little bit of magician and priest (go figure). Use of magic openly used to gain more power magical powers by the main bad guy making this book pretty much standard.
Characters are flushed out to an extent, but I am not too sure if world building is as good. There is humor in the book as well, but it will not make the reader uncontrollably laugh while driving.
There are couple of interesting points in the book. The pact with the devil is of unique kind I thought. Also, end has a bit of a surprise as well. Depending on your perspective, it could be a one of the more satisfying endings.
Another good reason to pick this book up would be the narrator. I am having 'King Killer Chronicles' withdrawals and listening to Nick Podehl helps : ) Needless to say that narration is very good and entertaining.
In conclusion, it is light standard fantasy book with good narration. I would recommend this book for times when we are waiting for high caliber books to arrive.
"Just Plain Brilliant"
I downloaded this on a whim, and then was thrilled when I realised the narrator was Nick Podehl who lent his voice to Patrick Rothfus' last two books.

The story itself is rollicking and downright fun. It is witty, adventurous and the characters are incredibly well drawn.

well worth a listen, I cant wait for more standalone work from Paul.S.Kemp.
Edgel - his wonderful dry and somewhat conflicted nature.
Yes, brilliant as always.
"Karma she is a Witch"
Nix and Egil. They crack me up. Their like brothers. Always busting each others balls. Laughed out load alot.
All of this story was very good at keeping me engaged. The scene that really got me was the last scene. Justice was served.
This story did have me hooked. I listen in 2 listens. I think Nick Podehl had Alot to do with that. Every Nick Podehl story I've listen to has been Awsome. Even the ones not highly rated. He seems to pull it off.
This was surprisingly good.It did not BLOW my mind, but very entertaining.Check it out .You will enjoy it.
"Perfect Sword and Sorcery"
This is the perfect book. Not too complex but easily gripping. Just clean fun.
A Conan story written by a modern author.
The very firs scene!
I have been looking for a a book for several months. It reminds me why I fell in Love with the genre.
Lots of action. Great story and the characters are really funny. Was laughing out loud throughout the story and a great ending. Will have you looking and waiting for a sequel.
"Good book, lacking a hook"
Enjoyed the book, but overall it lacked a hook to keep me going. Overall it took me a year of on and off listening to finish which is unusual. The characters are likeable, the action well told and the world interesting, it was just a tad to predictable with the different story beats feeling too compartmentalized. Still I would listen to another book in this world.
Read if you enjoyed Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser books.
"Paul S. Kemp Has a Winner Here!"
Egil & Nix are the most fun I've had in a fantasy story in many years! Fast-paced with great action sequences, you feel like you're standing side-by-side with the lads on their journeys! keep'em coming!
"adventuring outcast trying to be better men"
A great tale of fantasy adventure.
No grand heroes on a quest for greatness to drive back the foul doers of evil.
Nope, just a couple of tomb robbers trying to retire when an unforeseen debt comes there way. Forced into serving a malevolent sorcerer to his ends.
But the story proves it's worth. The characters have great depth and personality. Good spirit of adventure overall.
The final act is a great turning point. Where our ragtag duo or put to a choice, Walk away and let bad things happen to innocent people or Be better men.
Great book.
"Full of excitement and excellently read!!!"
Paul kept you guessing, very well read, excellent fight scenes. Nick did very well in narrating.
"Tip of the Cap to Fritz Leiber"
Absolutely, if they are a fan of classic sword and sorcery fiction. The humor, dark sorcery, and bizarre situations the two heroes, Egil and Nix (close enough to a certain well-known duo from Lankhmar but different enough to be interesting!), find themselves in is a definite salute to classic pulp sword and sorcery fiction from yesteryear. However, these two are less "roguish" and more "heroic" than most classic sword and sorcery characters and there is a bit more of a contemporary presentation of the two main female characters who a) drive the plot in a way that is not dependent upon them being romantic interests for Egil and Nix, and b) are very intelligent and strong characters in their own right.
Egil. His devotion to his dead god and his heroic disposition made him very easy to cheer for.
His voices for both Egil and Nix really bring the characters to life.
I liked the second book in the series almost as much as this one. It has more background development for both Egil and Nix and a very interesting villain as well. However, the adventure they are on in the second book I found a bit less involved.

Diplomacy in a Dangerous World: A Conversation with Senators
Richard Lugar & Sam Nunn
The Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, which became law in 1992, is credited with deactivating more than 7,600 nuclear warheads that were once aimed at the United States. Now the two U.S. Senators who authored this landmark legislation, Richard Lugar and Sam Nunn, will appear together in a public conversation at UIndy Feb. 25 to talk about their work.
The discussion, moderated by NPR's Steve Inskeep, will examine current threats around the world posed by weapons of mass destruction and explore how the senators' framework can continue to reduce these dangers and inform global diplomacy. The event is presented by UIndy and WFYI Public Media, with support from accounting firm Katz, Sapper & Miller.
Because of the overwhelming response to the event, we have reached maximum capacity for the venue. If you would like to be added our event waitlist, please register at www.uindy.edu/lugarnunn.
In partnership with WFYI Public Media, the conversation will be webcast live on Tuesday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. You can access the live feed on this page. An edited version will make its broadcast debut at 9 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, on WFYI 1 Public Television.
About the participants
The two former senators have received multiple Nobel Peace Prize nominations for their work in crafting the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program. Their discussion at UIndy will examine current threats around the world, as well as the future of U.S. relations with such nations as Iran, Russia and North Korea. This will be their first public appearance together since a 20th anniversary symposium on the reduction program in 2012.
Lugar, who represented Indiana in the U.S. Senate from 1977 to 2013, is president of the Lugar Center in Washington, D.C., and a distinguished professor at UIndy, which is home to the Richard G. Lugar Academy and its leadership programs for college and high school students.
Nunn represented Georgia in the U.S. Senate from 1972 to 1996 and currently serves as co-chairman and chief executive officer of the D.C.-based Nuclear Threat Initiative.
Inskeep, a Carmel native, is an author and award-winning journalist who has reported from around the world. Since 2004 he has hosted the nation's most widely heard radio news show, Morning Edition, which airs locally from 5 to 10 a.m. weekdays on WFYI Public Radio.

Jumper, Zara (last year)
Jeans, Zara
Boots, Primark (current)
Just a quick post to show you these desert boots that I picked up in Primark last week. I debated buying the Clarks original desert boots last year, but in the end couldn't face parting with the £90 needed to buy them. So, when I spotted these in Primark for only £18 I picked up a size 6 straight away. £18 for a pair of shoes is such a bargain, especially when they're real leather! They are so comfy and teamed with a pair of thick socks they keep my feet nice and toasty. I wore them yesterday with this lilac Zara knit and jeans.

Great cruise on Explorer: Explorer of the Seas Cruise Review by bibbysnow
Overall Member Rating
Great cruise on Explorer
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
We got to the port about 12:30pm and dropped our bags off, with no help from the porter, and checked in and took the bus to the ship. Bayonne should take some lessons from the Port of Baltimore. In Baltimore you don't have to park to drop off your bags, you just pull up in a line and they load them on the carts. It's much more efficient.
We booked a balcony guarantee and got a D1 cabin on deck six. The room was nice and we love deck 6 as it is one deck up from the Promenade.
It was rough sailing the first day to Bermuda, but I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to lay on the beach and even get in the water at Horseshoe Bay. You never know what April weather is going to be.
In Puerto Rico we just got off the ship and went to CVS for some sodas. We weren't More in port very long anyway.
We did Bernard's tour in St. Martin. It was a great tour. We normally go to Orient Beach when we go there, but we wanted to see more of the island this time. We got to go to Maho Beach where the planes fly overhead, it was fun.
In Labadee we just lounged at the beach and floated on the beach mats. It was a wonderful lazy day.
I never have a problem with the food, as I can always find something to eat. We normally don't eat in the dining room, but we selected My Time Dining for this cruise. We didn't make reservations and never once had to wait to be seated. Each time we were seated at a table with a different group of people. Now, I don't like the dining room normally because I don't like to eat with strangers, but we really enjoyed it. We were determined to eat in the dining room for breakfast and lunch on this cruise so we did both the last day. I was so sorry we hadn't done it earlier in the cruise! We had heard how great the lunch salad was in the dining room and it lived up to our expectations!!
We did most of the shows and they were all very good. We saw the "Tribute to the Temptations" and it was great. Also, there was a comedian that preformed and he was great as well.
We loved the cruise and love sailing out of Bayonne. Less

This is the free version of Keyboard from Android 2.3. There's a paid version ($1.99) that contains extra features.
Probably you already have Android 2.2 or lower version and you would like to try Gingerbread Keyboard without upgrading (because you don't want o you can't) your Android version, don't you? Here you are.
The whole appearance of the Android keyboard has been changed (layout and style), and we have to say, improved. New features of Gingerbread keyboard are basically:
- Multitouch keyboard (make sure your device supports it)
- Built-in dictionary (it helps, but some people thinks it's a bit intrusive)
- Auto-correction
- Speech to text
- Split main keyboard app and dictionaries
The difference and improvements in comparison with the previous keyboards are evident. However, there are other non-official keyboards that overtakes by far this one. Anyway, if you fell in love with this keyboard, because you've tried it in your friend's newer device, go and get it. It's really worth.
Keyboard from Android 2.3 has been developed by Steven Lin, an individual developer who has made this great replica of the official Gingerbread Keyboard. What's more, he has also launched a paid version and some languages packages that includes specific dictionaries.

The NY Times blog, Bits, spoke with Google employees who asked not to be named. "These people said they are expected 'to cost around the price of current smartphones,' or $250 to $600. The people familiar with the Google glasses said they would be Android-based, and will include a small screen that will sit a few inches from someone's eye. They will also have a 3G or 4G data connection and a number of sensors including motion and GPS."
"The glasses will have a low-resolution built-in camera that will be able to monitor the world in real time and overlay information about locations, surrounding buildings and friends who might be nearby, according to the Google employees. The glasses are not designed to be worn constantly — although Google expects some of the nerdiest users will wear them a lot — but will be more like smartphones, used when needed," writes the NY Times.
How will we reinvent news for Google's new augmented-reality eyeglasses?
For the news industry, this eventually will become yet another device like smartphones or tablets that demands we rethink news products, delivery methods and business models based on its unique capabilities and uses. It's never too early to start thinking.

Hi all,
I was at a clients place today and ran into something I've not done before.
He has a Direct TV net connection that is connected to his XP box via USB,
he previously had a cable connection and he used a DLink Cable router with
wireless AP. With the Direct TV now, his network is not able to get to the
internet. He has 3 PC's all with wireless NIC's and the one with the USB
connection also has a standard NIC which is connected to the DLink for
management. All PC's get dhcp from the dlink but I can't change the gateway
on it so the others can get to the web. The DTV connection uses a static IP
of 10.x.x.x and the dlink serves up 192.168.x.x IP's. I tried using XP's
bridging ability to connect the WAN and wireless networks with no luck.
I can hear the question now, what does this have to do with monowall? What I
would like to do is to replace the dlink with a Soekris 4501 with a Netgate
WIC and use monowall. My question is has anyone used a Direct TV web
connection with monowall and how would I get the USB connection to feed the
WAN? There is no RJ-45 socket on the DTV unit. I don't really want to setup
an entire computer for the monowall but if thats the only way I guess I

As budgets tighten, nutrient-rich fresh fruits and vegetables often get ejected from the grocery cart in favor of cheaper, more filling food choices.
With one in seven Utah households grappling with food insecurity, Utahns Against Hunger devised a way for community and backyard gardeners to routinely share the wealth of their harvests.
Aptly dubbed Grow A Row, the initiative encourages planting an extra row of produce for donation. Utahns Against Hunger, an advocacy group focused on creating the public and political will to end hunger in the state, includes a list of area food pantries where donated produce are welcomed.
"When you have more from your garden than your family can eat, you can help fight hunger in our community," Sara Crowder, an AmeriCorps VISTA member working with Utahns Against Hunger, said in a recent statement.
Westminster College's organic garden will be among the donors.
"We're really excited to be participating in Grow A Row," Alizabeth Potucek, co-coordinator of Westminster's garden, said in the statement. "We want to help provide those who need it with access to fresh, healthy food."

Word is out that Keurig owner, Green Mountain Coffee has trademarked the name "Rivo" - it means stream in Italian. While the world has embraced their K-Cups, the patent expiration is sure to bring a lot of competition to the market. Not content, Keurig brought out the Keurig Vue, a new maker, with new "V-cups" that allow you to compost the grounds and recycle the cup itself. The lack of "Green-ness" has been a call of detractors for a long time.
Rivo Espresso would Join a Crowded Market
Green Mountain is said to be working with famed Lavazza, of Italy, on machine development, which would inject a lot of experience into the project. The market is going to get crowded; not only do you have existing standard espresso machines, but you have Nespresso, Illy's iperEspresso, CBTL's CafeItaly systems, and the forthcoming Verismo machine line from Starbucks.

|California ACLU Strives to Ban Abstinence Education
The ACLU has targeted Free to Be, a group that has sent speakers into Sonoma County schools for the past 17 years. Free to Be was affiliated with Catholic Charities from its founding until 2007. The group's presenters, normally teens, talk to students about the benefits of abstaining from sex until marriage. Free to Be presents in about 30 middle and high schools each year, and has reached more than 75,000 teens since 1992.
Between 2000 and 2007, Free to Be received grants from the Community-Based Abstinence Education Program, a Bush administration initiative. Groups that receive these grants agree to teach "that a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity," and "that sexual activity outside of the context of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects."
According to the ACLU, it is illegal for speakers to present that message in California public schools. In 2006, a Santa Rosa parent complained to the ACLU that his son had heard a presentation by a Free to Be speaker. After threats from the ACLU, the Sonoma County Office of Education informed the county's 40 school districts that Free to Be was no longer allowed to present on campus. The ACLU followed up with letters to each district requesting written confirmation that Free to Be would be banned from all schools beginning in the 2009-10 school year.
The ACLU claims that schools violate state law by inviting Free to Be to campus, because Free to Be speakers do not teach students about contraceptives. Sue Bisbee, executive director of Free to Be, says it is not true that under California law, "anyone who goes in has to thoroughly cover all issues." Currently, says Bisbee, "Public Health or Planned Parenthood goes in and does the contraception piece, United Against Sexual Assault goes in and does the sexual violence piece. There are many options for them. . . . We are a piece of the pie that teens need to hear."
Not all Sonoma County school districts are eager to comply with the ACLU's demands. "I'm really uncomfortable having one organization dictate to us that we can't invite another organization into a school," said Keller McDonald, superintendent of the West Sonoma County Union High School District. "The determination of that is the responsibility of each individual school district." Two high schools in McDonald's district have invited Free to Be speakers into classrooms in the past; the same students who heard from Free to Be also heard other guest speakers present information on contraception. "We invited [Free to Be] as a guest speaker to provide a viewpoint, but not the whole curriculum," McDonald explained. "We look at it as one side of a complex issue."
The next stage of the skirmish may depend partly on the results of an independent, third-party assessment of Free to Be. Selena Polston, a social worker who is participating in that evaluation, wrote in an editorial in the Press Democrat (6-22-09) that she is "one of the least likely people to be standing up for sexual abstinence education in the post-Bush era." Polston is a native Los Angelean, not religious, not fond of abstinence education, and the daughter of "lefty" parents, one of whom was a sex therapist. Nevertheless, her interviews with hundreds of 9th-graders about their experiences with Free to Be have convinced her the program is a good one.
"What many students have told me," Polston relates, "is that Free to Be has helped them realize that choosing to be sexually abstinent during high school does not mean that they are undesirable or that they are condemning themselves to the life of a social outcast." Polston quotes a letter in which one 9th-grade girl wrote, "I had always thought that sex was just a part of high school that everyone with a social life would go through. . . . [The Free to Be presentation] made me realize abstinence wouldn't make me a friendless loser. Rather, it would make me a healthy smart person."
Surveys showed that students' opinions about abstinence until marriage and their abstinent peers were 25% more positive after listening to a Free to Be speaker. Free to Be is considering its legal options for fighting the ACLU's interpretation of state law on sex education. Several school district superintendents who disagree with the ACLU also said they are seeking legal counsel. (The Press Democrat, 6-7-09)

BANGOR, MAINE — The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has announced that July 12 is the application deadline for agricultural and forestry producers located in the Nickerson Lake Sub-Watershed to apply for financial assistance for conservation practices through the National Water Quality Initiative.
"I am happy that the Nickerson Lake Sub-Watershed located in the Meduxnekeag River Watershed in southern Aroostook County is one of two priority watersheds in Maine that have been selected to participate in this initiative for a second year in a row," said Juan Hernandez, State Conservationist for NRCS in Maine. "The other is the Alder Stream Sub-Watershed located in the Sebasticook Lake Watershed in Penobscot County. This Water Quality Initiative is a focused approach in areas facing significant natural resource challenges. When farmers work to improve water quality, they also help provide clean waterways, safe drinking water and healthy habitat for fish and wildlife."
Using funds from the Environmental Quality Incentives Program, NRCS will provide funding and advice to producers in the Nickerson Lake Sub-Watershed to install conservation practices such as cover crops, filter strips and stream crossings in watersheds with impairments where the federal investment can make a difference to improve water quality.
NRCS accepts applications for financial assistance on a continuous basis throughout the year. However, to be considered for funding in 2013, applications for the National Water Quality Initiative must be received by July 12, 2013.
If you are interested in applying for this Initiative, please check with your local NRCS office in Houlton to see if you are located in the Nickerson Lake Sub-Watershed. They can be reached at 207-532-2087, ext. 3 or you can visit them at 304 North Street in Houlton.
Since 1935, NRCS's nationwide conservation delivery system works with private landowners to put conservation on the ground based on specific, local conservation needs, while accommodating state and national interests. For more information about NRCS' programs, initiatives and services in Maine, visit www.me.nrcs.usda.gov.

I don't have too many developments on the PT front this week. Now that work and classes have ended, I've simply been enjoying my last few weeks of freedom. Pitt's program starts June 6, which I'm now starting to realize is exceptionally early compared to most other PT programs. A friend of mine will be going to Drexel in Philadelphia and won't start classes until mid-September. I'm therefore trying to squeeze an entire summer's worth of fun into a three-week period. I got to say goodbye to my coworkers at a happy hour on Friday, which turned out to provide some very useful, underappreciated guidance for PT school. The most memorable bits of advice included:
"There is no shame in taking Vaseline to anatomy lab and putting a few dabs below your nostrils."
"Don't be the person who always sits at the front of class and asks questions without raising your hand."
"Don't date anybody in your class. If it doesn't work out, you have to see that person every day."
And, most importantly, "Don't be the drunk girl."
I think it's great advice. It was nice to hear that each of them had a great experience in school, and also that it's possible to have a life outside of class. I'll do my best to heed their advice and not be the drunk girl who is dating a classmate and asks too many questions.
Thank you Robin! You'll be happy to know that our anatomy lab is very well ventilated, so I haven't needed Vaseline OR Vick's!
It's Vick's under your nose :) Vaseline won't get rid of the smell...

The themes in the collection range from family and loss to personal growth and societal issues, such as body image and homosexuality. The title piece, "Clean Freak," encapsulates several of these themes as the author examines her own obsession with cleanliness.< Less

In Jesus' day there were many traditions and denominations of men, yet He wasn't a Pharisee, Sadducee, Zealot, or Herodian. All of these sects and beliefs were divided against each other,...

The Lord Jesus responded, "it is written" (Mark 9:13), "have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God" (Matt. 22:31), "is it not written" (Mark 11:17), "have ye never read" (Mark 2:25), "ye do err, not knowing the scripture, nor the power of God" (Matt. 22:29), and "it is written again" (Matt. 4:7). The 21st century Church (Body of Christ) ought to be saying and doing the same things as Jesus did in the 1st century. Sadly, traditions of men that are religiously popular often go unchallenged, yet the scripture commands us to "prove all things" (1 Thess. 5:21)…but are we willing to interrogate our traditions by what is written?< Less

One of NASCAR's most visible and prominent couples welcomed a baby boy Sunday.
Kevin and DeLana Harvick announced the birth of Keelan Paul Harvick, who measured 19.5 inches and weighed 6.8 pounds. The birth comes a day after his Sprint Cup star father crashed and finished 23rd in the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

"Waiting on Keelan was the longest nine months of my entire life," Kevin, 36, said. "But time literally stood still when I held our baby for the first time. I've accomplished a lot in my life that I'm proud of, but those moments don't hold a candle to becoming a father and seeing that little face looking up at you. DeLana and I are just amazed by how special and rewarding this is."
DeLana was in good health, according to a press release from Kevin Harvick Inc. The Harvicks jointly owned teams in the Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series for a decade until this year. The couple has been married 11 years.
"This is something Kevin has wanted since the day we got married," DeLana, 39, told USA TODAY Sports in February.

During this mess with all the recalls and such, we are so happy to have been able to breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Kylie is eating Honest Kitchen and we haven't had anything to worry about. I wish every company was using quality, clean ingredients so that no pet owner would go through the stress that many are facing today.
Kylie just celebrated her 14th birthday this passed week and with feeding your food we are hoping she will have many more. You have NO IDEA how relieved we are to be feeding her your foods and knowing that we don't have to be concerned with the ever widening mess that is going on. We have converted our friends over so they too don't even need to read about the recalls and waiting till their food shows up, they can just go about playing and enjoying their furry friends.
Thanks Honest Kitchen, from the bottom of our hearts!! Oh and Kylie's belly too!

A Florida man is suing Anheuser-Busch (BUD) over alleged deceiving marketing practices to lead its consumers into believing that the company's Beck's beer is brewed in Germany.
St Louis Business Journal reports that Francisco Rene Marty of Miami-Dade County is suing the brewery for its allegedly misleading messages on the labels of its Beck's bottles. The suit says that the Anheuser-Busch product uses labels such as 'Originated in Germany' and 'German Quality' in order to sell the beer to consumers at a higher price despite the fact that Beck's is brewed in the U.S.
Each product is brewed under different conditions and with different water so the suit is saying that it is deceiving customers who believe that Beck's is possibly being brewed using water from Germany. Beck's bottles say 'Product of USA' and a spokesperson for Anheuser-Busch said that the company is proud to employ "American brewmasters to brew it according to the exacting German standards where it was created."
The class-action lawsuit is seeking more than $5 million in damages.
