We purchased this for our church nursery. This product will not hold up for this kind of use. The baskets are not even toy quality. I never have a problem with items that I purchase from O.com. However, this product is not acceptable.
Avoid at all cost! Looks cheap and poor quality. The baskets are cheap made with poor quality. I would return, but there is no way I can put it back in the box and ship it to Overstock. The price should be $25 and not over $.*** I paid.
Nice little storage unit, fits perfectly in the space we bought it for. Look at the dimensions to make sure it is right for your use, it is not big but it is very nice. My husband is not at all handy but he put it together without any problems. I think other users may have missed the fact that the pieces are not interchangeable, so if you arrange them incorrectly, the others may not fit or line up as they should. If you arrange the pieces correctly, then there will be no problem with screws and holes lining up.
This was not at all what I expected. I was very disappointed once I got it together. The baskets don't seem very secure once we got them together. I think we will be looking for something else with similar features to replace this with.
I purchased this unit because it was just the right size & color, plus I found the basket drawers (although small) would still provide some storage. Although there was more assembly than I expected, the instructions were clear and thorough, and assembling the unit & baskets was a fairly simple task. I did encounter several bent screws and one of the baskets was missing a couple of pilot holes. Definitely not a show stopper. What I did find dissatisfying was the substandard cherry finish on the unit's top and the overall 'sturdiness' of the unit. There�s a bit more side-to-side �wiggle� in the unit that I cared for. After a few days of use, I started noticing small light dots in a few places on the top. I found the finish had flaked off. I did contemplate returning the unit but, since it was the perfect size for my needs and had the basket storage, I decided to keep it. I upholstered the top and had a friend add some supports to eliminate the side-to-side �wiggle�. Would I buy it again??? � NO. For the money - I would expect a better quality finish and a product with the proper support built in to the design so that it maintained a solid feel to the unit.
I was looking for something to help me organize my workstation around my chair in the living room. I saw this and loved the color. It was easy to put together and serve the purpose well.
Overstock offered the best price on this furniture, coupled with no shipping charges and no tax, the decision to buy was a no brainer.
I bought this for my daughter, she's away at college. She uses it for an organizer and loves it.
I really wanted to switch out my large dresser for a smaller storage unit. This unit seemed perfect but it's way smaller than the picture. I still use it as a mini dresser but i wish it was bigger. It arrived in very good condition.
Item works fine for light storage, but baskets are a little on the cheap side (u have to actually put baskets together) and were somewhat hard to put together. Would not use if going to be in and out daily. We use it for bathroom storage in utility room so not heavily used.

While opinions widely differ among the ranks of healthcare providers, most would agree that the financial ramifications of long term commitments for medical real estate space will continue to weigh heavily on growth in people or technology. Some see real estate as a cost of doing business, yet, we attempt to dispute this notion and advise that it can be a tremendous avenue for personal wealth if performed with diligence and comprehension. The leasing vs. ownership model for a medical building still significantly benefits the providers seeking to purchase or development. That said, is the advantage of real estate ownership appropriate for you and your organization?
Providers, especially small to mid-size physician practices, need to answer several questions in order to determine if ownership is the right strategy going forward.
- Will the provider own the building alone or should a joint venture with other practices be considered?
- Will partnering with a hospital be considered?
- Will a third-party developer or investment partner be considered to help guide the practice through the development process?
- What are the front-end cash requirements?
- What is the tolerance for debt guarantees?
- How does ownership align with long-term practice strategies or goals?
- What is a viable exit strategy?
The answers to these questions will help guide the physician group (and broker/developer/investor) to the right decision regarding equity participation in a medical office project. In today's tight lending environment, the more cash invested, the better the borrowing terms available. Although borrowing for commercial real estate today has become increasing more challenging, especially compared to residential, we routinely take calls from lenders who will fund medical single and multi-tenant buildings by qualified buyers that will use the space.
How will the provider's occupancy help to determine the cost of the building? Follow me here, as this is difficult for medical tenants to grasp. Rents are based on the cost of the entire project and cost of borrowed funds along with the return on cash investment desired, rather than the availability of space. In today's medical real estate investment climate, the typical cash on annual return ranges from 9% to 15% per year based on a fully occupied building. As time lapses and rents improve, two favorable investment events happen: The cash return increases on an annual basis, and the market value of the property increases. Both of these events create increased value and wealth for their owners.
The inherent risk is the inability to maintain building occupancy with a practice group or medical rent-paying tenants. Empty buildings are extremely volatile and difficult to price. Prices parallel the availability of space coupled with the absorption of space in the regional and local marketplace. Rarely do vacant buildings increase in value unless the land underneath appreciates in value.
If you have a question regarding leasing, ownership, or simple investment into a medical building, please contact MREA at 713.701.7900.

Tags: Stuart Dailey music academic achievement brain based research student retention
Recently a number of studies have appeared that attest to the connection between music and academic achievement. Brain-based research has shown that people can retain information longer when it has a rhythm to it. In addition, children who learn how to read musical notes have scored higher on mathematics tests. Yet, music and art are the subject areas considered unnecessary when there is a need for budget cuts. Why do most educational designs think music and art are less important than reading, writing, math, science, social studies, etc?Mr. Stuart Dailey, an elementary school music teacher will share information about why music is an important element in education particularly for children of African descent and why it is essential that music must be taught throughout the curriculum, and not just in separate areas such as orchestra and choir. He will share how to incorporate music into history and other academic areas to improve student retention and emotional decisions. Mr. Dailey will share his experiences of teaching music to African-American elementary students. He will discuss how music is a language that all people speak --that cuts across racial, cultural, social, educational, and economic barriers and enhances cultural appreciation and awareness.

Friday 13 Dec 2013
By Martin Bailey. Web onlyPublished online: 23 September 2012
The Isleworth Mona Lisa, a slightly larger version of the Louvre's original, is due to be unveiled in Geneva on 27 September. A Swiss-based consortium, which owns the picture, argues that it is the first version of Leonardo's portrait. Details will be provided by Alessandro Vezzosi, the director of the Museo Ideale Leonardo da Vinci, in the artist's birthplace of Vinci. He will be presenting evidence he has gathered with Carlo Pedretti, of the University of California.
This version of the Mona Lisa was bought in 1914 by the artist and critic Hugh Blaker, who lived in Isleworth, in west London. Unlike the Louvre's Mona Lisa, around 1503-19, the painting is done on canvas (the original is on panel), it has columns on the sides of the picture and the landscape is very simple. Blacker reported that the picture had come from a Somerset aristocratic collection. In 1962, the painting was bought by the UK-based art collector Henry Pulitzer, who exhibited it very briefly in Phoenix, Arizona, in a commercial gallery. The puzzle now facing Leonardo specialists is whether the Isleworth Mona Lisa is indeed from the master's studio or is a subsequent copy, possibly from the late 16th century. Although the Prado's copy of the Mona Lisa was accepted earlier this year as from Leonardo's studio (see related story above), this latest announcement is likely to be greeted with initial scepticism—so the key question will be if the scientific evidence stands up. The painting is to be unveiled by Anatoly Karpov, the chess grandmaster and a member of the Zurich-based Mona Lisa Foundation.

A JPEG is useless for analysis...However,I think it is not a Da Vinci!...look at the hands, not consistent left and right. Look at the motif middle left to the mouth - never seen that kind of mirror image of what looks like trees reflected in water in any renaissance painting - really crude. If you can paint you can reproduce old masters - to my eyes it doesn't look right. Need to see it in the flesh to be sure though, I think it is an inspired copy.

Since the original was a commission there was no need to make another, it's a copy or by another student. Think Occam's razor.

Longer wait for China residency permits irk foreign firms
BEIJING, Sept 9
- Tweet
- Share this
BEIJING, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Foreign executives in China are upset at a new rule that allows authorities to hold passports for up to 15 working days when processing and renewing residency permits, saying it could disrupt essential business travel within China and abroad.
The changes are evidence to those who argue China is becoming a harder place to do business, especially following a wave of antitrust investigations that some executives contend have singled out foreign firms.
The increased processing time from five working days had prompted a "flood" of complaints from the expatriate community, said Gary Chodorow, a Beijing-based immigration lawyer at Hong Law Offices.
"What concerns companies is profits. When people are grounded they are not doing business. They are not making money," he said.
The new rules took effect on July 1. Chinese officials have said they aim to deal with the rising flow of foreigners coming to China and to protect national security and social order.
The Ministry of Public Security handles residency applications, which are renewed annually.
Chodorow said the new rules could hamper travel for foreign executives who oversee offices throughout Asia, especially as cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have encouraged multinationals to establish Asia-Pacific headquarters there.
Foreigners are required to show passports when travelling by train or plane within China, and for registering at hotels.
Chodorow said he didn't believe the government was using the policy to encourage the hiring of more Chinese executives at foreign firms or to make life difficult for multinationals.
"I think it is possible that the concerns of the business community were not anticipated," he said.
In late August, Qu Yunhai, the deputy director for the Ministry of Public Security's Bureau of Exit and Entry Administration, said 15 working days was the maximum authorities would hold passports.
He told a news conference individuals could ask for their passports for emergency travel, although it was unclear how that would work outside normal office hours.
Foreign executives already have to put up with a host of challenges working in China, from Beijing's chronic pollution to strict internet censorship, although the country remains a draw because of its strong economy.
China does not appear to have consulted foreign firms or residents before issuing the new rule.
"The current issue with the 15-day wait is that it is too long. For many people living here that need to travel, it is too big of an impediment," said Adam Dunnett, secretary general of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China.
"There is always something that falls through the cracks or there isn't an obvious solution for or that somebody didn't think of. That's the reason why consultation is helpful ahead of time."
Despite the maximum period detailed in the regulation, the length of time authorities will hold passports may vary by city, adding to confusion.
A Ministry of Public Security official in Shanghai, China's commercial capital, said applicants would have to wait "about seven working days".
Authorities in Beijing as well as the metropolis of Guangzhou in southern China said the 15-day policy was in effect.
"People grumble, but it's just accepted as yet another hassle to doing business in China," said one British executive in the financial services industry in Beijing, who declined to be identified because he was not authorised to speak to the media.

Comments about Blinds Steve's Exclusive Collection Cellular Shades Room Darkening/Blackout 3/8" Double Room Darkening Closeout:
We used these blinds in our bedroom. The blinds have accomplished total light blockage with an inside window installation. We ordered black which may have added to the great light control.The blinds also keep our room warmer on cold days and I expect cooler with the summer temperatures. My only concern is how long the cord will last with the weight of the blind and the daily use. The ease of lift isn't as easy I'd like but I was trying to eliminate any cost for better lifting controls.
excellent price for the quality received

[...] the fit was perfect. They also keep the temperature down in our living room. It's noticeable when you walk in the room that it is cooler. Love these!
Nice blinds
By Julie
from Morrison, CO
These blinds are just as nice as name brand ones and block the light pretty well. I like the cymbal color, which I believe has been discontinued, for my baby's nursery.
Exactly as described
By Lee
from Ames Iowa
Bought one and had to come back for another!I thought I had odd measured windows,and this process would be time consuming and ill fitting, not to mention expensive. But I was wrong on all of the above .The black-out is just as described and does its job. [...] Love your custom work and will purchase again. Thanks so much!!!
It's a beauty!

This shade was installed in a south facing office where the heat was really problematic. So far, it seems as if it may be a great solution and it looks fantastic. The real test of course will be the summer months but for now, it seems to be a working.
Great shades at a great price.

I bought the clearance color. It's fine. It's just that I should have gotten a color not such a close match to the wall. That was price driven. The product itself is , the usual, great Steve's quality. It does everything it says.

Satisfaction: 90%
By AEB
from Oregon
A good price, does a good job at blocking light, especially since I got it in black. The one thing I didn't like was that the top frame of the blind did not match the color of the blinds. It would be much better looking if they matched. I hung sheers over the blinds and that helped it look better. Over all a good buy.
Excellent value

Excellent product and price. Bought these for my RV. Perfect fit, easy to install and looks great.

Captain America's been torn apart, now he's a court jester with a broken heart/he said "Turn me around and take me back to the start/I must be losing my mind, are you blind? I've seen it all a million times"
I assume someone complained about Danger Zone not on the list already
Lord loves a working man, don't trust whitey, see a doctor and get rid of it.
Reservoir Dogs - Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel
Lotsa good ones, Brah. I went with Office Space out of the list, because even though I don't like that kinda music much it just makes you feel so good to see the guys stickin' it to the man while that's playing.....
Scorcese is always dead on with his soundtracks fitting the scenes...always...however, I hate "Layla", and for me the single best music/action scene in Goodfellas is when they're beating the fuck out of Billy Batts and Donovan is singing hippy-dippy "Atlantis"....it's like a juxtaposition thing.
Speaking of the juxtaposition of beauty and extreme violence, my favorite scene of all time in that regard would be this:

Last Thursday evening I caught up with a cyclist heading north along Seaview Rd out of Henley Beach. He was going slightly slower than I wanted, so after sitting on his wheel for a short time I passed him.
About 500m later I turned right onto Granges Rd. He had been sitting on my wheel, and proceeded to give me a mouthful 'what's the point, why not just sit on my wheel instead of passing'. He got a bit upset about it.
So I'm wondering if I did the wrong thing? I would have stayed on his wheel if it had only been 100m or so, I thought 500m was enough not to have to slow to his speed?
If I did the wrong thing apologies to whoever you are…
Please let me know what you think.
It reminds me of one of my first big solo rides - was heading along the coast towards Glenelg from Brighton, and came across a group of 8 of so riding two abreast with an old man on the rear giving directions to the group.
I hang back a few metres wondering if I should ask to join in as I had never done a group ride or pace line riding - but seeing the group was only doing about 20 kmph, and was very disorganised with riders moving off and on the paceline on the inside, middle and outside. So when the the road was clear of traffic in both directions, I yelled out overtaking, and then went pretty much down the centre of the road to give them plenty or room - and got abused by some of them as I went past.
I Shrugged it off as figured they hadn;t heard me yelling out and proceeded further up the road - where a few minutes later a massive removalist truck was blocking the road both ways trying to a U turn - so not knowing much about hand signals at the time, and knowing I was a long way ahead of the group now - and how could miss this massive truck, I slowed slowly to a stop. A minute later the group was on top of me, and two of them starting abusing and swearing at me saying the old lines like you need a drivers license to drive on the road, and I was the reason bike riders needed to get a license before been allowed on the road - I was could believe it - I just replied God gave you eyes and common sense - why don;t you use it - which didn't go down well, and got plenty more abuse back. The truck cleared out of the way, so I took off, but two of the riders from the group kept overtaking me, then pulling in front of me and slowing down - I couldn't believe it! Eventually the old guy from the group told them to quit it and I left them to whatever they were trying to achieve.
Sure left me in shock that road rage existed between cyclists - and felt sad for the novices in this group that where been taught group skills and etiquette by these muppets.
There is a trick that old timer track riders will tell you is perfect for dealing with morons like them. It involves riding very close beside them and as your knee comes up on the peddle stroke, it hits the drop of their handlebars.
Lets just say they would have learnt their lesson once they have dusted themselves off.
@ brendan and its a really stupid idea to even think about trying it,i will take it you meant it as a joke because i dont want to believe a fellow rider would purposely knock someone off the there bike and risk them being seriously injured and themself just to score bragging rights.
Of course Colin. Tongue was firmly planted in cheek as I typed it.
I guess to be the 'Devil's Advocate', if he was going slower than you then presumably you would have come up behind him. Why not overtake then. I would think that unless you know another rider, don't sit on their wheel. And if you do sit on their wheel and get a nice rest and then overtake them , please don't then slow down. I would probably have said something too. Politely , of course !
You did nothing wrong mate! OMG if I abused everyone who passed me, I wouldn't have a cycling friend in the world!
I get overtaken all the time and no abuse either way.
Maybe he needs his medication reviewed?
If that is the biggest thing in life that troubles him, he is a very fortunate man.
Don't sweat it Simon. There are some people riding to some sort of incomprehensible 'code' that apparently makes them better riders and, somehow, better people. In essence, they are just rude and would be in any situation in life, not just on the bike.

Cellar/Tasting Notes A super-premium Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from Bressler, a small family vineyard on the west side of St. Helena. This gorgeous wine luxuriates in new French oak for over 2 years, imparting spices of clove and cedar as well as the sweetness of vanilla bean to the silky, ample fruit. Only 400..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is drop-dead gorgeous. Dark red fruit, tobacco, flowers and licorice emerge from this massive, powerful wine.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rarely do you see a single vineyard Cabernet at this price. Juicy, full and forward, this wine is packed with red cherry fruit up front and beautiful notes of tar and sweet leather on the finish. An amazing wine for the price!"
Cellar/Tasting Notes Medium ruby-red. High-pitched aromas of cassis, licorice, violet and herbs, with a strong mineral component contributing to the impression of purity. A step up in density over the Napa bottling but without any sacrifice of brightness. Finishes sweet and very long, with a serious dusting of..

Reaching the Italian documentarian Erik Gandini via Skype wasn't just the easiest way to track him down in northernmost Sweden ("where the sun goes down at 2 p.m.") — it was positively symbolic.
"These people don't understand the Internet," said the director, referring to the power elite in his native Italy. "They don't realize you can make a film with small cameras and small crew, because they don't know what documentary is. They thought that they could stop a trailer because it was banned on TV. It's an old idea. The new world is too modern for them."

Comments about Bern Muse EPS Helmet - Women's:
This is my third Bern helmet and they continue to make great stuff. They added the ability to cinch the helmet liner a bit, making for a better fit.
Great winter helmet
By Doves
from Illinois
I'm a year-round bicycle commuter and bought this helmet to use in the winter. It fits very well and is comfortable. It is pretty warm on it's own (with the winter lining), but should be warm enough with a thin wool scarf wrapped around my face and over my ears to take the midwest's coldest days. Best of all, it's fantastically stylish!

Your Vehicle to More Profits
Print firms have always wanted to go to the Profit Promised Land. These days, all roads point to car wraps and vehicle graphics as a potential profit center for printers nationwide.
Before he joined the band Survivor, classic rocker Jim Peterik wrote the 1970 hit "Vehicle" with the Ides of March. Amid brass riffs that shook woofer speakers back in the day, the Chicago west-sider sang, "I'm your vehicle, baby; I'll take you anywhere you wanna go." And where print firms always have wanted to go is to the Profit Promised Land. These days, all roads point to car wraps and vehicle graphics as a potential profit center for printers nationwide.
However, advertising on cars, SUVs, trucks, and buses is not a value-added area into which you can dive, headlong, without preparation. Technical tools are needed to enter the vehicle wrap, paint-protection, and tinting markets—along with about $30,000 if you don't already have a wide-format digital print device (see below). Robust software programs are required, not to mention design and other basic application tools, such as squeegees, knives, air-release, and heat tools. One versatile installation tool is the Wraptor, a patent-pending device for applying adhesive backed vinyl media—both ready-to-apply and digital.
The Wraptor facilitates deployment and suspension of any graphic film to any surface. Its design features are flexible, based on configuration specifications, to allow for deployment of any image on vehicles, trailers, airplanes, walls, floors, ceilings, etc. The unique gimbal joint that joins the vertical expanding stanchion to the horizontal expanding stanchion allows for deployment to 360 degrees vertically and 360 degrees horizontally. And the Wraptor expands to 240 inches wide and vertically to 16 feet, said its manufacturer.
You'll need media, too, of course. In early October, Oracal USA, an Orafol company, added 23 new colors and textures specially developed for interior design, automotive trim, and interior/exterior accent restyling. Series 975 Premium Structure Cast is 5- to 6-mil. film featuring a transparent, solvent-based, repositionable adhesive with dimensional stability and conformability over uneven, arched, curved and flat surfaces.
On the creative end, vehicle wrap templates make designing faster and easier. There are website resources for template programs, such as www.provehicleoutlines.com or www.thebadwrap.com. To design an appealing and effective wrap, an extensive library of backgrounds, fills, and vector elements also is required.
The keys to your $30,000 'vehicle'
Hardware, software, media: You'll need it all to start up a wrap business. As an example of what print firm owners can expect to spend, Sign Warehouse of Denison, TX, offers Wrap EXPRESS equipment packages ranging between about $30,000 and $35,000. One starter package includes a 48-inch PrismJET VJ48 Plus eco-solvent printer (with firmware), an automated media take-up system, vinyl cutter, cold laminator, media and tools starter kits, ink, cleaning fluid, graphic design and RIP software, and training DVDs all for under $23,000.
To successfully get into the wrap business, you will need at least the basics of facility, tools, equipment, materials, and training, according to Fellers, which bills itself as the world's largest wrap supply company. Ideally, an automotive wrap facility should be about 75 to 100 feet long with 14-foot entry doors to accommodate tractor-trailers, motor homes, and box trucks. A facility that's too small is often the very thing that keeps a wrap business from being able to stay busy, as installers cannot prep tomorrow's job while they wrap today's, advises Fellers.
The facility should be climate-controlled, too. If it's too hot, wrap vinyl will be too soft. (Note that the installer's perspiration may even compromise the adhesive.) If it's too cold, the vinyl will be brittle and not behave in a cooperative manner, often "breaking" rather than stretching. Temperature and humidity fluctuations also can be the enemy of large-format printers and laminators. If the air is too dry, you can experience mass quantities of static electricity, dried-up print heads, and excess dust build-up in the shop. If the air is too moist, prints can take too long to dry.

Diverticulitis diet
By Mayo Clinic staffDefinition
A diverticulitis diet is something your doctor might recommend as part of a treatment plan for a mild case of acute diverticulitis.
Diverticulitis occurs when small, bulging pouches (diverticula) in your digestive tract become infected and inflamed. Mild cases are usually treated with antibiotics and a diverticulitis diet, which includes clear liquids and low-fiber foods. More-severe cases typically require hospitalization.
A diverticulitis diet can't treat or prevent diverticulitis. Rather, it's intended to give your digestive system a chance to rest. A diverticulitis diet is typically recommended along with antibiotics for mild or uncomplicated cases of diverticulitis.
Diet details
A diverticulitis diet starts with only clear liquids for a few days. Examples of beverages allowed on a clear liquid diet include:
- Broth
- Clear soda
- Fruit juices without pulp, such as apple or grape juice
- Ice chips
- Ice pops without bits of fruit or fruit pulp
- Plain gelatin
- Plain water
- Tea or coffee without cream
As you start feeling better, your doctor will recommend that you slowly add low-fiber foods. Examples of low-fiber foods include:
- Canned or cooked fruits without skin or seeds
- Canned or cooked vegetables such as green beans, peas and potatoes (without the skin)
- Eggs, fish and poultry
- Refined wheat and white bread
- Fruit juice with little or no pulp
- Low-fiber cereals
- Milk, low-fat yogurt and cheese
- White rice, pasta and noodles
You should feel better within two or three days of starting the diet and antibiotics. If you haven't started feeling better by then, call your doctor. You should also contact your doctor if:
- You develop a fever
- Your abdominal pain is worsening
- You're unable to keep clear liquids down
These may indicate a complication that requires hospitalization.
The diverticulitis diet has few risks. However, continuing a clear liquid diet for more than a few days can lead to weakness and other complications, since it doesn't provide enough of the nutrients your body needs. For this reason, your doctor will want you to transition back to a normal diet as soon as you can tolerate it. Your doctor may even recommend switching to a high-fiber diet to help prevent diverticulitis from recurring. Just be sure to increase the fiber in your diet slowly and aim for the level recommended by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans — at least 25 grams of fiber a day for women and 38 grams for men.

Wireless Systems Design Award
Agilent ADS/Connected Solutions Named Best Wireless Design Tool
Wireless Systems Design magazine has awarded Agilent Technologies Advanced Design System (ADS)/Connected Solutions the prestigious 2003 Industry Award for Best Wireless Design Tool.
The annual awards honor wireless products/technology developments that stand apart from the competitive field and inspire the wireless community.
Award winners are featured in the Show Guide for the Wireless Systems Design Conference and Expo in San Jose, California, 25 - 27 February 2003, and in the March issue of Wireless Systems Design.
Text of the Award Citation
"Each year the Best Wireless Design Tool is awarded to a company whose product significantly eases the design, development, verification, and/or test process facing today's wireless systems engineer. The product must do so in a manner that is easy to use, understand and implement. And, it must eliminate some of the undue burden typically associated with employing multiple tools throughout a design flow. This year, in particular, one tool easily stood out from the competitive field and captured this title in a unanimous vote from the judging committee. Agilent's Advanced Design System 2002C, coupled with the company's Connected Solutions concept, ensures that today's wireless systems engineers are able to verify design performance earlier in the development cycle than previously possible. And, it eases the burden of the verification process by merging the simulation and measurement domains. This is possible thanks to the wide breadth of expertise that Agilent consistently demonstrates - an expertise not easily captured by competing companies."
-- Cheryl Ajluni, Editor-in-Chief Wireless Systems Design Magazine

Rather than dance, critics have alleged, "daggering", "perreo" and the like are little more than heavy petting in public—a corruption of courtship and a shameful activity for young innocents.
"Hagamos el amor con la ropa / siente la pasión del reggae", intones Puerto Rican reggaetonero Speedy, unabashedly linking the sensuality of reggae music to a phrase more often used to demean the risqué moves at the heart of reggaeton. Rather than a dance, critics have alleged, the perreo is little more than heavy petting in public—a corruption of courtship and a shameful activity for young innocents. Speedy's refrain tellingly embraces this definition: making love with clothes on sounds just fine to him and his audience.
In the documentary Straight Outta Puerto Rico, producer Jorge Oquendo confesses with some embarrassment that the perreo "simulates the intercourse between dogs." Of course, despite the obvious nod to canine copulation in the dance's name, this is how humans do it too. Terms like perreo or doggystyle simply bear witness to our enduringly missionary position on the issue.
Sexual pantomime runs deep through dance, not surprisingly, and moral panic right alongside. In the New World and trans-colonial Europe, Afrodiasporic rhythms like reggaeton's dembow (for some, a synonym for perreo) have repeatedly engendered the kind of intimate dance that provokes policing along the lines of race, class, and age, usually under the banners of Christian moral authority or the civilizing imperatives of nation-building.
Among other predecessors of perreo, consider the European reception of the zarabanda, a high-energy dance first recorded in Panama in 1539. In his book on the music of Cuba, Ned Sublette describes the zarabanda as "a mimetic dance that simulated sexual action" which "ruled" dance floors in Spain for 30 years around the turn of the 17th century despite clergy attempts to suppress it with threats of whippings for men and exile for women.
Another fascinating forbear appears in new research from historian Lara Putnam who turned up archival evidence of weekly "reggee" dances held in the early 1930s by West Indian migrants to Costa Rica. Propelled by jazz, mento, and tango and tarred by reports of coarse language, public drinking, and vulgar dancing, the parties appear in local newspapers as causes for concern, at odds with notions of racial uplift held by local editorialists who recommended that organizers instruct musicians "not to play any pieces which may be a temptation to those spectacular copulative gyrations."
To this day, debates about putatively "dirty" dancing play out through nearly the same set of frames. Recent years, especially with the advent of camera-phones and YouTube, have witnessed remarkably familiar local debates triggered by strikingly similar public displays of pleasure and play.
Take daggering, for example, a particularly spectacular—indeed downright cartoonish—incarnation of this timeless dance, which certain observers and artists have linked explicitly to traditional Afro-Jamaican cultural practices, as in kumina.
The latest "slack" variation to emerge from Jamaica's dancehall reggae tradition, long in thrall to the bawdy and the body, daggering takes its name from violent thrusting movements that suggest stabbing more than sex (and in its worst moments comes closer to gang-rape than role-play—sometimes with brutal results). Despite nearly deconstructing itself with such exaggerated antics, in 2009 daggering prompted the Broadcasting Commission of Jamaica to ban the playing of songs that refer to the craze.
For its part, the perreo was nearly banned in 2002 by the Senate of Puerto Rico, which held public hearings led by Senator Velda Gonzalez. Spurred by local religious organizations, Gonzalez sought to censor reggaeton lyrics and videos and railed against "dancing in a way that incites the sexual act."
Although these efforts proved unsuccessful—and reggaeton commercially triumphant—the spread of reggaeton and perreo to other countries in the Americas has seen the same anxieties replayed for ratings on TV news. Some critics frame the dance as an indecent objectification of women; others argue that perreo inverts the typical power relations of partner dance by letting women lead.
In 2005, fed by sensationalist media coverage and viral videos, Peru's "perreo chacalonero" used the local sounds of chicha to propel scenes of sexual pantomime that might make a Jamaican blush, especially given Peruvian teenagers' tendency to simulate a wider range of acts than perreo's classic back-to-front pose. Thanks to YouTube, the dance reanimated long-stewing, racialized national antagonisms between Peru, Chile, and Argentina.
Likewise, the recent choque craze in Colombia, an acrobatic beat-matched bump that sits somewhere between the collisions of daggering and more suave forms of perreo, inspires anxiety on the nightly news as it elicits confused comments from international YouTube viewers lacking a local frame for interpreting commonplace scenes of same-sex bumping.
Aptly enough, the choque returns "the bump," known by most as a corny disco step, to its origins in New York's underground gay dance scene of the early 1970s, where it emerged not as "the cute little hip-hugger, tushie-touching step that it became in the straight world," in the words of Albert Goldman, but as "a frank pantomime of buggery." Just as it is hardly surprising that such a dance would be cleaned up for the US mainstream, it's no shocker that "grinding" or "freak dancing"—a North American analog to the Caribbean's copulative gyrations—has been outlawed at high schools around the country.
Despite such efforts, making these dances disappear would seem akin to ridding the world of horny young people. Speedy's iconic invocation of reggae's passion and the sort of dancing it inspires was definitely something intuitively understood by me and my high school peers in the early 1990s, crowding into a pulsing mass of limbs and torsos anytime dancehall reggae's distinctive rhythms bubbled through the speakers. Fortunately for us, the adults chaperoning our dances back then didn't seem to mind a little bump and grind.

What does the return of warm weather mean for your daily routine?
May 13, 2009
David Fabac ( in Shawnee) says...
We spend more time working in the yard, grilling out, visiting with the neighbors or taking in a T-Bones ball game.
Jean Nelson ( in Shawnee) says...
Warm weather means breakfasts on our deck, visits to parks with our 2-year-old grandsons, planting flower bowls to add beauty spots to our yard, shopping expeditions to Farmers' Markets.
Kent Zimmerman ( in Shawnee) says...
Warm weather means a lot more time outdoors — working on the lawn, attending grandchildren's baseball and softball games, walking, biking and relaxing on the deck.
