Yes, thats right, I have turned to the dark side after having mainly Nintendo consoles for many years now. So, I've got a PS2 with two controllers and with Tekken 5. Could someone please recommend me some good RPG's, good 2player adventure games, etc etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Any of the Final Fantasies
Dragon Quest 8
Kingdom Hearts and soon to be released KH2
Suikoden IV
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
I'm sure there's lots more but those seem to stick out the most.
I'm told Suikoden III is better than IV. But you can't find 3.
I've been playing Dragon Quest VIII as of late. It's not groundbreaking or all that exceptional, but it is a solid RPG with some elements dating all the way back to the original title which kinda takes me back to the olden days, and it comes with a playable Final Fantasy XII demo, so it's a good pick for RPG fans. I really liked Final Fantasy X, as well, and if you like MMORPGs you can always pick up FFXI, but last I heard you can't play it on the newer, slimmer PS2 model because of a hard drive issue. Since the PS2 can play PSX (PS1) games, you can of course play all the Final Fantasy titles from FFVII up. The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age was pretty good, too, or at least it was when I played the Xbox version.
Hmm. stanDarsh already covered these. Admittedly, I'm not sure what else to recommend in the before-mentioned categories since the bulk of my console gaming has lately been on my Xbox. Since there was an "etc etc" there, though, I imagine that you're looking for recommendations in general, so an obvious pick would be Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, or any GTA for that matter. I enjoyed Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge on the Xbox, and I imagine they're equally entertaining on the PS2.
Heck, there's a lot of stuff....
I love playing SOCOM II on my bud's ps2....
Save a horse! Ride a 1337GheyCowboy!
There's really not that many good games, most people will say buy Shadow of the Colossus but I disagree. I suggest renting it since it's very short. Most RPG's have been mentioned and they are obviously buy titles if you really want to put time into them.
So basically I suggest buying MGS2: SoL and MGS3: SE since really that's all I would buy a PS2 now if I didn't already have one. Other then that theres not much else for the PS2 that hasn't been mentioned and in general for that matter.
I love you, I hate you. Will you marry me? I just want to kill you.
Single player games
Resident evil 4
Shadow of the C.
final fantasy series
xenosaga series
kingdom hearts
DragonBall Z buduki series
LOTR the third age
MetalGearSolid substince and soon Subsistence
Grand theft auto series
dragon quest series
burnout revenge
Armored Core 2 & silent line
DotHack series
Multi-player (better with friends playing with you)
Splinter cell Pandora tomorrow & CT
ff 11
soul caliber 2 & 3
smackdown series
madden football series
socom series
BlackHawk down
All the RPGs mentioned above along with titles like MGS2/3.
Other RPGs that should be considered include:
- Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne & Digital Devil Saga
- Star Ocean
- Legaia 2
- Radiata Stories
- Wild Arms 3 & Wild Arm Alter Code: F
- Grandia 2 & Grandia Xtreme

- Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirit [Highly underestimated; this RPG is amazing.]
- Summuner Serries
- Harvest Moon: Save the homeland
- Unlimited Saga

Now that you have the PS2, also take a look at the PSX titles such as Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Saga Frontier, Suikoden 1/2, Lunar SSSC & EB, Star Ocean 2, Persona 2, Tales of Destiny & Eternia, Vagrant Story, Valkyrie Profile, Megaman Legends 1/2 and many many more.
With the PS2 you got access to a massive library. Games like Colony Wars: Vengeance, Dino Crisis 1 & 2, Suikoden 1 & 2, Silent Hill...
And Castlevania: Symphony of the Night are available to you. ^_^
The BEST Castlevania EVER.
Added Later:
There are so many amazing non-RPGs on the console like Einhander, Tenchu 1/2, Crash Bandicoot PSX, Croc, Rollcage, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and so on.

He might like Kingdom Heart on Gameboy but not on the PS2.
I am guessing that he hasn't tried out KH for PS2 yet.
Woah, almost forgot about this thread, thanks guys, I'll try to check out those game you all recommended, +rep for everyone who posted.
Thanks again!
lol, I would have prefered saying 'expand my horizon'.Yes, thats right, I have turned to the dark side
for RPGs there is a thread for it in the PS2 section here. there is also a fighting games thread here.
as for other games, you have to narrow it down. tell us what you like, game examples (even from other platforms) genrea, creative direction, themes, etc.
together, PSOne and PS2 have more than 13000 titles! talk about a needle in a hey stack. even if we go only with platinum hits, the list will be too long.
so talk about what you like and what are you looking for. even the RPG genre has many variaties from classic themes to Western free roamers to traditional, etc.

I just got a PS2 also, mainly for MGS but I'll probably get God of War and some other games soon since it'll be my only console for a while cause I plan on selling my Xbox...
MGS2/3 and God of War are great choices. check out others like Devil May Cry 3 (the special edition is releasing soon) and Z.O.E 2.
give us more insight about what you prefer so we can be more helpful in suggestions.
have fun!

I'm a big fan of #5, but others say #4 is superior. Overall though, you really can't go wrong with the series as a whole.
Zone of Enders is a good series, although ZOE2 is hard to find.
I reccomend Devil May Cry 1 and 3. Like zeep said the special edition for 3 is coming out later this month and will be 20$ at release. Onimusha 1-3 are also good games. I enjoyed them.
Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari
Front Mission 5 is coming out soon if you like strategy RPGS
Guitar Hero is an excellent game.
Also if you like online games get Socom 2 and/or 3.
that is why we need him to tells us abit about what he likes. you may say GT4, but many don't like slow simulations no matter how good they are. these are the fans of Burnout.
also with Front Mission. one may like action mechs more than strategy mech games.
having said that, all the suggestions here are great. you just have to find what are the kinds you like to play.

Washington, DC Tuesday, April 10, 2012
Richard Cordray, Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), announced new rules for mortgage servicers, the companies which collect home loan payments from borrowers. He spoke at Operation Hope, a nonprofit which promotes financial literacy for consumers.
The rules, which require mortgage servicers to be more transparent and accountable with borrowers, will be formally proposed this summer for public comment and finalized on January 21, 2013. They would require mortgage servicers to provide consumers with clear and timely information about changes to their mortgages.
Cordray was the Attorney General of Ohio before his controversial recess appointment as CFPB Director by President Obama on January 4, 2012. Congressional Republicans complained that the President did not have the power to bypass the Senate nomination process because Congress was not officially in recess.
Cordray's nomination was stalled in the Senate by GOP members who opposed the creation of the consumer bureau, which was authorized as part of the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform act of 2010.
Congressional Republicans also complain that CFPB rules are "too subjective." During a House Financial Services Committee hearing in March, Chair Spencer Bachus (R-AL) said that the standards for deceptive or abusive practices were "too vague."

Kee, John P. (Contemporary Musicians)
Singer, songwriter
Prolific gospel singer John P. Kee, who has built an avid fan base within the realm of gospel music, infiltrated the secular rhythm and blues industry in 1994 with his eleventh album, Show Up!, by combining church choir harmonies with hip-hop sounds. Kee has often been compared to gospel music legend the Reverend James Cleveland, and the sheer power of Kee's voice is reminiscent of Shirley Ceaser and Edwin Hawkins. Kee described his music to BRE magazine's Ruth Robinson as "simple Sunday morning hip-hop, it's got the thing that makes the kids move."
Born on June 4, 1962, in Charlotte, North Carolina, John Prince Kee was the last of six boys born into a family of 16 children. Kee's father was a religious man who insisted that his children embrace religion early in life, and all 16 kids were gifted singers who were members of gospel choirs. At the age of 13, Kee formed his first gospel choir, and by the time he went off to study voice and classical music at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, he was six-feet-one-inch and had already amassed five years of solid performing and conducting experience. His early musical influences were Thomas Dorsey and Frank Williams.
While Kee was in college he performed with such groups as Cameo and Donald Byrd & the Blackbirds. His formative college years were turbulent after he was lured into using and selling cocaine regularly; Kee even operated his drug racket out of a church at one time. It was only after he witnessed the slaying of a close friend in a drug deal that he turned wholeheartedly to religion and gospel music for solace and inspiration. Ironically, it was Kee's experience trafficking and using drugs that helped him relate to and feel comfortable with fans from all walks of life and of all ages.
In 1981 Kee formed the New Life Community Choir in Charlotte, which consists of 30 young inner city recruits. His ministry is aimed at attracting the young and providing a safe place for them to flourish spiritually. The singer told BRE's Robinson, "I thought we should go down to the police station and get mug shots of all the people in the choir who have been arrested and put them on the back of an album." Like Kee, most of the choir members struggled with drug abuse at one time and eventually turned their lives around through religion and their devotion to gospel music.
In 1985, at the age of 23, Kee became the first artist to record lead vocals on two selections for James Cleveland's Gospel Music Workshop of America's (GMWA) annual mass choir recording. Kee's songs were "Jesus Can Do It All" and "He's My All and All." He confided to Teresa Hairston of Score magazine, "James opened the door for me through the GMWA." Kee's songwriting and singing career began to bloom soon after the recording; he subsequently wrote and performed on "Jesus Lives In Me" for the Edwin Hawkins Music & Arts Seminar album Give Us Peace. Kee was then able to finance a demo tape and was signed to the Tyscot Records label. In 1987 he released his debut album, Yes Lord, which was a low-budget effort marked by production glitches.
In 1989 Kee released Wait on Him with the New Life Community Choir. The LP was awarded three Stellar Awards, for album of the year, best traditional choir, and song of the year for "It Will Be Alright." The recording served to propel Kee to the forefront of the gospel realm.
The following year Kee and his choir released There Is Hope. A portion of the album's proceeds was donated for AIDS research and to a foundation that assists battered children. The album earned Kee a nomination for a National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Image Award in the best gospel artist category. Later in 1990 Kee recorded his first solo album, Just Me This Time, which garnered the singer a Stellar Award for best male solo performance and a contemporary producer of the year award from the GMWA. Just Me This Time was also nominated for a Dove Award in the category of traditional black gospel recorded song.
In 1991 Kee and the New Life Community Choir released Wash Me, which received two Stellar awards and five GMWA Excellence awards. That same year Kee wrote I Can Call Him for the East Coast Regional Mass and recorded Never Shall Forget with the Victory in Praise Mass Choir. The latter album reflects the culmination of nightly services and workshops at an annual conference for gospel delegates and was awarded four GMWA Excellence awards. Later in 1991 Kee produced Surrender, an LP comprised of performances by New Life's female choir members.
A video for Wash Me was released in 1992 and earned a Stellar Award for best music video and a GMWA Excellence Award for best video concert. That same year We Walk by Faith was released; it won two Billboard music awards and four GMWA excellence awards. Lily in the Valley, released in 1993, is a second recording by the Victory in Praise Mass Choir. This won a Dove Award for traditional black gospel album of the year and a Stellar Award for best traditional album.
Colorblind, an album that tackles such contemporary issues as prejudice, was released in 1994 and was Kee's second solo effort and first release on the Verity Records label. It was the recipient of two GMWA Excellence awards, an Inside Gospel Award, and a Stellar Award. The album was also nominated for a Dove Award.
Show Up!, Kee's crossover LP, appeared in 1995 and features Kee backed by the New Life Community Choir. It debuted at Number Seven on the Billboard Heatseeker's Chart, the highest debut for a gospel album in the chart's history. Robinson commented in a BRE review, "The album might be filled with ole' time religion, but it's not full of solemn, sober pleas to the Lord. This is a foot-stomping, hand-clapping sho' nuff shout to the Heavens."
When Kee isn't producing, writing, and performing for his New Life Productions, he oversees an inner-city youth program in Charlotte. Divorced from his first wife, he keeps in close contact with his two children: a son, Christopher, and daughter, Shannon. In addition to music and ministry, Kee has pursued such philanthropic interests as building an inner-city playground, donating $3000 to an urban reading program, providing anti-drug counseling, and creating the Victory in Praise Music & Arts Convention.
Kee declared to Score magazine's Hairston, "[The New Life Choir wants] to be unique. The only way we can do that is for people to be able to identify with who we are and what we stand for. That's the key to where we are and where God is taking us."

The Maroon VOL. VII LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LA., FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1929 No. 15 CASTILIAN COMEDY HIGHLY PRAISED BY A LARGE AUDIENCE "Fortunato," Three-Act Play, Is Presented In Marquette Hall by Capable Cast Presenting their fourth annual play to a packed house in the Marquette Auditorium Monday, April 15, the Spanish Dramatic Club scored byfar its greatest triumph in the famous three-act comedy written by the Quintero Brothers, "Fortunato." The many Latin-Americans attending the performance were high in their praise of the actors and of the director, Miss Emma Douglass of the Le Petit Theatre. Miss Jessie C. Montejo, head of the Spanish department in the university, was also given credit for her great interest in sponsoring an annual event of this type, and she has been pledged future support by those who were present at the last event. The title role of the comedy was carried by Joseph Abraham, Jr., who played the part of the sensitive beggar. The characterization was welldone and merited praise from the audience. Bob Ainsworth, as the farcical Don Victorio, had one of the best comedy parts in the play and he carried his role perfectly. Vita Borrello, playing as the fiery Argentinian sharp-shooter, was a graceful actress and she captivated her audience with her personality in execution of her role. Carmen Belgado played two maid parts well. As a matter of fact, the entire cast aquitted itself splendidly according to the remarks of many in the audience. Those who assisted in the various roles were John Ouilliber, Aletha Gugel, Rene Nicaud, Marie Rodriguez, Edward Conway, Bentley Byrnes, and Patout Burns. Before the curtain, Nestor Morales, a member of the club, addressed the audience with a short speech of welcome. Songs were rendered by Temple Black and John Oulliber. Stage direction was by Brother Frank Eaton and J. Abraham. All-Spanish Program To be Held Saturday The student body has been invited to attend the presentation of an all-Spanish program of songs, dances and comedy skits by members of the Centro Universitario Latin-Amerioano in Marquette Hall Saturday evening, by George F. Duron, vicepresident of the group. Great interest is being shown in Spanish dramatics lately as evidenced by the large attendance at the recent Spanish Club presentation and it is expected that a great many students will avail themselves of the opportunity of contrasting the acting of the Latin-American students to that of the American actors who portrayed their ,roles in the Spanish tongue. SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS ON JUNE 17 FOR 6 WEEKS, ANNOUNCES BULLETIN June 17 has been announced as the opening date of the annual summer session according to the bulletin recently published. The summer school will extend over the usual sixweek period, closing on August 1. The executive committee which will be in charge of the summer school activities, will comprise Rev. F. D. Sullivan, Rev. J. W. Hynes and Rev. W. J. Ruggeri. Miss Margaret Carey will again act as registrar with Miss Leah Bertal serving in the capacity of secretary. Included in the curriculum will be the following courses: Biology, Chemistry, Education, English, French, History, Latin, Mathematics, Philosophy, Physics, Religion, Social Science, and Spanish.Lectures will begin at 8:30 A. M. and wil continue until 12:30 except on Saturday and Sunday when there will be no classes. The tuition fee will be fifteen dollars regardless of the number of courses elected. Aeronautic Scholarships In New York University Offered Prize Essayists Sixty-two per cent of the applications for the Eaglerock awards for 1929 have chosen the scholarship in a questionnaire recently sent out by the Alexander Aircraft Co., Colorado (Springs, Colorado, donor of the awards. This company is offering a scholarship in the Guggenheiem School of Aeronautics, New York University, and a completely equipped Eaglerock airplane for the two best sets of four papers on aviation subjects submitted by undergraduate students before May 31. Those choosing the scholarship exexpect to complete their education in aeronautical engineering preparatory to entering commercial aviation. On the other hand those indicating their choice of the Eaglerock airplane expect to use it as a nucleus of an operating company or to earn sufficient money to continue their education. Alexander Klemin of the Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, New York University, is chairman of the scholarship awards committee. Another group will make the Eaglerock awards. Wolf to be Ready for Distribution May 25 Jacques Yenni, editor of the 1929 Wolf, states that the forthcoming edition of the annual will be ready for distribution on the campus on or about May 25. Work on the 1930 edtion, which is being directed by Bob Ainsworth, editor-elect, has already begun. Ainsworth is expected to announce the remaining members of both the editorial and the business staff at an early date. SPANISH THEME TO BE CARRIED OUT IN UPPERCLASS PROM Committees Named o Aid Student Council In Carrying Out Details of Affair Practically all detils of the forthcoming junior-senior prom have been completed by Harvey Strayhan, Student Council president, and the various committees which are working under his supervision. The theme of the prom will be Spanish and this motiff will be carried out in the decorations and in the scenery which is at present being constructed. The favors will also carry out the Spanish idea. n addition to the members of the junior and the senior classes it has been announced that lowerclassmen will be invited to attend but will not participate in the grand march, which will be a feature of the event. Each student will be allowed one invitation in addition to the one which he wil use for himself. This extra invitation must be given to a person not a member of the student body. Following are the committees which have ben named by the Council to take care of the details of the affair: THESPIANS SCORE HEAVILY IN PRESENTATION OF VAUDEVILLE Playing before an audience which taxed the capacity of the Marquette auditorium last Friday evening, the Thespians achieved new laurels in their presentation of a two-hour vaudeville program under the supervision of Doc Bonomo, faculty director of the dramatic society, and Paul Ganucheau and Gerard Rault, senior members of the Thespians, who aided in the direction of the skits. An "Our Gang" comedy and a Fox News Reel preceded the rendition of "Lettuce Alone," a comedy sketch by Bob Ainsworth and Emile Nunez. Other numbers included a monologue by Joe Egan, a dialogue by Carl Buchmann and Mark Malloy, a pantomine skit by Leon Sarpy, Wilnver Watkins, Marian Ouilliber, Maude Valliant and Helen Fletcher, and two one-act plays. "The Laziest Man in the World," in which Clyde de la Houssaye, enacted the role of a safe-breaker whose right to the title of the world's laziest man was superseded by that of John Ouilliber, a supposed cripple who remained confined to a rolling chair merely because he was too lazy to walk, was well received by the large audience. Others in the cast were Joe Blasi and Nicholas Masters.

Blessed Virgin To Be Crowned By Sodality In Stadium On May 12 The public crowning of the Blessed Virgin will be held in Loyola stadium on the afternoon of Sunday, May 12, under the auspices of the Loyola sodolity. Members of all the soladities in New Orleans will be invited to participate, according to the statement of Jacques Yenni, president of the university sodalists, who is in charge of the arrangements. The program will include, in addition to the crowning of the Blessed Virgin, which will be performed by a member of the sodality of Dominican College, the act of consecraton held under the leadership of a member of the Loyola group, benediction by Archbishop John W. Shaw, an address by one of the local priests and several hymns by the sodolists and others in attendance. All Loyola students are invited to be present, and letters will be forwarded to each church in the city to be read at the various masses, which will urge their presence on the occasion.Two Frosh Classes Hold Nominations For Council At a meeting of members of the freshman Arts and Science class Monday noon in the Marquette auditorium, Paul Reising and William Von Lubbe were nominated to positions on the Student Council for the year 1929-30. A similar meeting of the freshman Pharmacy class resulted in the selection of Joe Tetlow and Webster Brown as prospective Pharmacy representatives.The four names will be submitted to the Council and one from each class will be selected for membership at the next meeting of the student governing body. FORENSIC TEAM IS WINNER OVER O.B.U. IN DEBATE ON JURY Rouchell and Buchman Urge That Present System Be Improved, Not Discarded Harold Rouchell and Carl Buchmann of the Loyola Debating Society, arguing the negative of the sujeet "Resolved, That Trial By Jury Should Be Abolished," were victorious over Walter Emery and Evan Reiff, of Oklahoma Baptist University, Monday evening in the Marquette auditorium. Contending that illuminated arguments and sentiment ruled, in the majority of instances, the verdic rendered by a jury under the present system, the Oklahomans urged the substitution of the three-judge system of deciding cases at issue. This body, according to their plan, would comprise one local and two visiting judges who could be elected either by the people or appointed by the representatives of the people. They would have the advantage of superior intelligence as well as constant practice in judging the merits of the cases brought before them and would consequently be better able to reach a just verdict than would the untrained jerior. In opposition to the contentions of the visitors, the Loyolans charged that the judges referred to by the Oklahoma debaters would be subject to political influence, to corruption and to bribery. That they would soon become case-heardened and would be guided by the strict letter of the law rather than by its spirit. "The jury," the negative stated, "is not responsible for many of the evils charged to it. There is no doubt but that there are certain defects in the present system—defects which can be remedied. Therefore let us turn our attention toward the perfection of the jury stystem, not its abolition." Le Cercle Francais Prepares Short Play Not to be outdone by the Spanish Club, Le Cercle Francais, student French society, will present a oneact French play "L'Anglais Tel Qu'on Le Parle," on the evening of May 2, in the Marquette auditorium, it was announced by Francois Escoffier, president. The play, which is written by Tristran Bernard, will be directed by Rev. Andre J. de Monsabert, dean of the French department. The leading role will be played by Monell Segura, who will be assisted by the following: Victor Choppin, Escoffier, C. Montet, P. D. Martinez, Nicholas Masters, Remy Gross, and Louis Callouet. Ruffia Carlos will appear before the curtain to address the audience. No admission will be charged for the performance, and all s/ludents and their families are invited to attend.(Continued on page 9) (Continued on page 9)

Although the infamous case of the West Memphis Three has already been the subject of three first-class documentaries from director Joe Berlinger, Amy Berg's West of Memphis again explores the oft-documented incarceration of three teenagers for a triple homicide that many believe they never committed. Co-produced by one of the three supposedly falsely convicted men, West of Memphis lays out the case for their innocence and details how a number of high-profile figures -- including Eddie Vedder, Johnny Depp, and Natalie Maines -- helped raise money and awareness in order to free the trio. West of Memphis played at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Lymelife writer/co-director Derick Martini adapts Andrea Portes' 2007 coming-of-age novel about a young Nebraska girl who runs away from home, and learns that life on the road has its fair share of danger. Luli (Chloe Moretz) has just turned 13. Bestowed a Smith & Wesson .45 at her birthday party in a local watering hole, the young girl quickly decides that she has had enough of her volatile parents' drinking and bickering, and decides it's high time to strike out on her own. Soon offered a lift by Eddie (Eddie Redmayne), a young cowboy with a prominent limp and a full tank of gas, Luli quickly finds herself back on the side of the road after their conversation turns combative. Shortly thereafter, the young traveler has a chance run-in with Glenda (Blake Lively), a pretty con artist who talks Luli into helping her rob a gas station, and takes her under her wing en route to meet Lloyd (Ray McKinnon), a respected local contractor but volatile alcoholic. Though a subsequent brush with Eddie finds Luli's journey taking an unexpectedly dark turn, the resilient adolescent still holds out hope that there's a better life for her somewhere out there on the open road. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Filmmaker Alma Har'el profiles the people and places of Bombay Beach, the small community on the edge of California's Salton Sea. Back in the 1950s, the Salton Sea was the premiere vacation destination for folks looking to have some fun in the sun, and in the water. From the working class to the Hollywood elite, people from all across the country flocked to this scenic rift lake, and it didn't take long for local entrepreneurs to recognize the potential for profit. As restaurants sprung up and nightclubs overflowed with wealthy clientele, the community thrived. Now, at the turn of the 21st Century, flooding and poor water flow has rendered the Salton Sea a virtual ghost town - the death of the American dream personified. But within this dusty former boomtown, life still flourishes. For young bipolar Benny Parish, it's a place to let his vivid imagination run wild, and for aspiring football player CeeJay Thompson, it's a refuge from the Los Angeles gang violence that claimed the life of his beloved cousin. Meanwhile, former oil field worker Red subsists on whiskey and nicotine. Choreographed dance sequences in which the subjects of the documentary dance to the music of Beruit and Bob Dylan lend Bombay Beach a unique feeling unlike any documentary you've ever experienced before. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

To countless avant-garde novelists, filmmakers, and playwrights, publisher Barney Rosset -- proprietor of the legendary Grove Press -- qualifies as an undisputed hero. Via scores of in-court legal battles, Rosset fought aggressively and valiantly to defend the release of works as varied as William S. Burroughs' novel Naked Lunch, Henry Miller's novel Tropic of Cancer, and Vilgot Sjöman's classic arthouse film I Am Curious (Yellow). As co-directed by Neil Ortenberg and Daniel O'Connor, the documentary Obscene builds a case not only for the idea that Rosset was utterly indispensable in the battle for freedom of speech that descended on America in the late '60s and early '70s, but that he deserves hearty praise for championing works that pushed accepted moral standards into theretofore unacceptable territory. Via a combination of extensive archival footage and interviews, Obscene traces Rosset's professional and personal life, beginning with his early years at the Parker School and Swarthmore through his involvement in the armed forces and his presence in the Manhattan avant-garde with wife Joan Mitchell during the late '40s and early '50s. The film places heaviest emphasis on (and devotes most of its screen time to) Rosset's censorship battles for various works during the mid- to late '60s, before moving into an exploration of his troubled subsequent years that were marked by financial difficulty, violent attacks from disapproving groups, government surveillance, and a host of other complications. Interviewees include Rosset, Al Goldstein, John Waters, Gore Vidal, John Sayles, and Ray Manzarek. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The reflective documentary Pete Seeger: The Power of Song explores the legacy of revered American folk singer and activist Seeger - written and directed by filmmaker Jim Brown when Seeger was in his late '80s. In lieu of recounting the narrative of Seeger's life note-for-note, however, Brown uses that individual biography as a contextual lens, through which he recounts decades of American social history. To tell his story, the filmmaker interpolates original, exclusive interviews with such Seeger contemporaries as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, archival footage of Seeger in concert, and extracts from Seeger's private home movies. In the process, Brown unveils the extent to which Seeger continually prompted societal change through his consciousness-raising music and offstage social efforts. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down a Dream
Filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich turns to the documentary form for the first time with this lengthy profile of one of rock and roll's enduring talents. Tom Petty: Running Down A Dream presents an in-depth look at Petty's life and career and his work with his long-time band the Heartbreakers, ranging from Petty's earliest musical influences (which includes meeting Elvis Presley when the King came to Florida to shoot a movie when Petty was just eleven years old) to the critical and commercial success of his 2006 album Highway Companion. Along the way, the film offers glimpses of Petty's early bands (including the Sundowners and Mudcrutch), his battles with record companies over royalties, record prices and control of his music, his collaborations with other artists (among them George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks and Roger McGuinn), his relationship with his fellow Heartbreakers, and of course his music, with plenty of footage of Petty and the Heartbreakers strutting their stuff on stage. Produced as a special event for The Sundance Channel, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Running Down A Dream enjoyed a brief theatrical release before its debut on cable television. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

An all-star cast of gospel singers transforms legendary singer/songwriter Bob Dylan's gospel compositions into the Grammy-nominated 2003 album Gotta Serve Somebody, and cameras are there to catch all the musical magic as it happens. As a group of dedicated gospel musicians step into the studio to record brand new interpretations of such Dylan classics as "Pressing On" and "When He Returns," interviews with the artists and live performance footage offer an intimate look at the hard work and dedication that went into this landmark production. Commentary by Dylan contemporaries Jim Keltner and Regina McCrary, producer Jerry Wexler, and music journalists Alan Light and Paul Williams offer even greater insight into the creative force that drove Dylan's gospel period, with additional performance footage of Dylan singing "When He Returns" in 1980 offering fans a firsthand look at one of the songs that inspired the Gotta Serve Somebody album. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Add One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern to top of Queue
In the spring and summer of 1972, George McGovern, a Democratic senator from South Dakota, achieved the seemingly impossible. Backed by a motley collection of Prairie populists, old-school liberals, and young people disenchanted with the war in Vietnam, McGovern overwhelmed longtime party favorites such as Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie to win the Democratic nomination for the presidency of the United States. However, McGovern's triumph proved to be short-lived; after his initial running mate, Thomas Eagleton, was revealed to have a history of mental illness, the McGovern campaign went into a tailspin from which it would never recover, with the incumbent Richard Nixon winning the 1972 election by a landslide. However, McGovern's campaign is still remembered by many as one of the last examples of a candidate truly triumphing through the will of the people rather than working the party political machine, and given the scandalous downfall of Nixon following his re-election, many have wondered what America would be like today if McGovern, once described by Robert F. Kennedy as "the most decent man in the Senate," had won. One Bright Shining Moment: The Forgotten Summer of George McGovern is a documentary which looks back at the McGovern campaign and explores what went right, what went wrong, and what was McGovern's true legacy. The film includes interviews with Howard Zinn, Gloria Steinem, Gary Hart, Frank Mankiewicz, Warren Beatty, Gore Vidal, Ron Kovic, and McGovern himself. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A teenage boy tries to hold his family together while the girl of his dreams drives him to distraction in this coming-of-age comedy drama. It's 1978, and Henry Nearing (Gregory Smith) and his family are in a state of flux. Henry's mother has died, and now his father, Shep (David Morse), is trying to find himself by quitting his job, buying a motorcycle, and growing out his hair. Henry's brother, Blair (David Moscow), is similarly trying to expand his boundaries by dating a free-spirited girl and experimenting with drugs. Henry, meanwhile, is just trying to get through high school, but a certain girl is making that difficult for him. Grace Chance (Jordana Brewster) is a pretty girl in Henry's class who enjoys wrapping boys around her little finger; it doesn't take long for her to notice he's smitten with her, and she begins flirting with him and getting him to do whatever she wants, even though she already has a boyfriend whom she has no intention of leaving. Meanwhile, Merna (Ashley Johnson), a cute girl who lives nearby, has a crush on Henry and is clearly a better match for him, but she can't get him to notice her, even after she starts dating an older boy to make him jealous. Nearing Grace received its world premiere at the 2005 Los Angeles Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

He has another source of income, letting his brother use his apartment for extramarital trysts. On a rare visit to his grandparents, Ronald (Donald Sutherland) and Ruth (Louise Fletcher), Duncan meets Kate (Juliette Lewis), Ronald's spirited home health-care worker. Later, when Duncan learns that there's an opening for a handyman in the building, he takes the job. He begins to spend more time with his grandparents, hanging out with Ronald, who, among his many health problems, suffers from Parkinson's disease. He also has occasion to see Kate, and the two cautiously begin a romantic relationship. Kate is "one of those people," as Duncan puts it, who moved to Minneapolis because of the Replacements. Unlike Duncan, who has never left Minneapolis, Kate has never stayed in any one place for too long. She's anxious to get out and explore the world, while Duncan seems immobilized. Yet they connect, if only for a time. As Duncan reconnects with his grandparents and grows more intimate with Kate, he begins to deal with his grief over the sudden death of his father.

Enigmatic rock legend Bob Dylan stars as an enigmatic rock legend (talk about a casting coup!) in this purposefully eccentric satiric comedy. Uncle Sweetheart (John Goodman) is an unscrupulous concert promoter who has figured out a way to cash in on the feelings of doubt and uncertainty that plague his nation, which is being torn apart by civil war and political revolution. Sweetheart has decided he will stage a massive benefit concert, though the unnamed charity would appear to be his checking account. Sweetheart hires television producer Nina Veronica (Jessica Lange) to help promote the show and sell it as a nation-wide cable-cast event, while Sweetheart pulls a few strings to arrange for the perfect headliner -- Jack Fate (Bob Dylan), a legendary songwriter who is currently serving a term in prison. With Fate out from behind bars, Sweetheart and Veronica set out to sell their grand spectacle to the world, though one determined investigative journalist (Jeff Bridges) has set out to throw a spenner into the works of Uncle Sweetheart and his epic fundraiser. Marking the directorial debut of comedy writer Larry Charles, Masked and Anonymous also features Penelope Cruz and Luke Wilson; the film was shown in competition at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In 1965, Bob Dylan was the reigning king of the new folk music boom, but while he had earned a large and loyal audience playing earnest and elliptical songs of social protest and romantic puzzlement accompanied by his acoustic guitar, he was eager to strike out into new territory, and he shocked fans at that year's Newport Folk Festival by showing up with an electric guitar and a thrown-together rock & roll band. Later that year, Dylan took his joyous outrage on the road, with a tight, but hard-hitting, rock & roll combo, the Hawks, joining him for a series of shows in which the singer and his band (who would later rename themselves the Band) were often confronted by puzzled and vocally angry crowds. Hawks drummer Levon Helm, unhappy with the unfriendly reception, dropped out after a few dates, and after substitute timekeepers Bobby Gregg and Sandy Konikoff both vacated the drummer's seat, Mickey Jones -- a Texan transplanted to Los Angeles who had enjoyed successful gigs with Trini Lopez and Johnny Rivers -- landed the job of joining Dylan and the Hawks for a tour of Europe. A photography buff, Jones brought his home movie camera along with him, and Bob Dylan: World Tour 1966 -- The Home Movies compiles Jones' amateur footage of life on the road and off-stage with Dylan and the Hawks. In addition, Jones shares his memories of the tour, discusses his career before and after working with Dylan, and offers his own observations on what Dylan's music meant to him and to music fans everywhere. The Home Movies includes no musical performances from Bob Dylan; accompaniment for Jones' silent footage is provided by Highway 61 Revisited, a Bob Dylan tribute band. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

For about a year after the Woodstock Music and Art Fair in 1969, it seemed as though everyone wanted to stage a rock festival. However, The Rolling Stones' disastrous Altamont free concert (documented in the film Gimme Shelter) forever tarnished the image of the rock festival in the U.S., while in Europe, the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival was fortunately less deadly than Altamont, but nearly as controversial. Staged by two men with greater ambitions than practical experience (not unlike Woodstock), the festival was held on a small island off the British coast, where some of the finest rock talent of the day -- Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, The Who, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Donovan, Jethro Tull, Joan Baez, Leonard Cohen, and Kris Kristofferson, among many others -- were scheduled to play over the course of five days. But while at Woodstock no one had given much thought about keeping gatecrashers out, at the Isle of Wight those without tickets were greeted with corrugated steel fences that sealed off the festival grounds. Huge numbers of visitors simply camped on hills surrounding the grounds, while others broke down the fences by force after refusing to pay the three pounds admission. This led to heated conflicts between the promoters (who railed bitterly against the audience from the stage), the festival's security staff (who had to deal with the many gatecrashers), the concert-goers (who were upset with both the admission price and the site's facilities, one spectator calling it "a psychedelic concentration camp"), and the performers (who had to deal with unruly audiences and the prospect of not being paid). It was estimated that 600,000 people attended the festival, but less than 50,000 actually paid to get in, spelling financial ruin for the promoters. American documentary filmmaker Murray Lerner brought a crew to record the festival on film, but thanks to the festival's bad publicity and uneven reviews, he was not able to obtain completion funds for the project until 1995, hence the presence of many musicians who had since passed away, such as Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and Miles Davis. Message to Love: The Isle of Wight Festival examines the concert both on-stage and behind-the-scenes, capturing performances from many of the artists who appeared. We see Joni Mitchell and Kris Kristofferson angrily confronting the rowdy crowd, and The Who at the peak of their form (their full set was released as a separate film), alongside the numerous catastrophes and conflicts that dominated the festival's five days. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

It is a relief to know that we are now finally out of the long drought that has afflicted Georgia over the last few years. Here in Newton County, residents can now officially water their lawns and plants and wash their cars under the same odd-even schedule now in use.
We salute the actions of the Covington police department for their efforts in making sure another pervert does not bring harm to another youngster in our community.
Friday was the last day in the classroom for several of the 38 Newton County School System employees that retired this year. The retirees had a combined total of 915 years of service to our school system.
Last week eight adults, some parents of children at Oak Hill Elementary School, were arrested at the school awards ceremony because of a disagreement regarding a seat. How shameful is that?
In these tough economic times we are glad to record when local businesses reach into their own pockets and donate equipment or funds to our local schools. The folks at Caldwell & Cowan Funeral Home and Crematory recently donated 10 Netbook mini-laptops to the four local high schools for their Academic Recourses classes.
In the good old days when you were in high school, if you were a problem child or enjoyed skipping school, then after a few warnings you were called to the office and summarily kicked out of school. If your infraction was bad enough, you never returned. If you were a young lady and became pregnant, you just disappeared. At that time the disappearance was a grand mystery. As we grew older, we realized that ...

Comme les cinq doigts de la main

Il Seme Della Discordia
A couple who want to have a child get some good news and some bad news in this campy comedy from director Pappi Corsicato. Veronica (Caterina Murino) is a beautiful woman who works in a clothing store with her mother Luciana (Valeria Fabrizi) and is married to Mario (Alessandro Gassman), a salesman. Veronica has a hard time getting her husband to pay attention to her, unaware that he's been sharing his affections with a large number of other women while taking care of sales calls. Veronica and Mario have been trying to have a baby without much luck, but on the day that she learns that she's pregnant at last, he comes home with the sad news that he's been diagnosed as sterile. Veronica is at a loss to understand her current condition until she remembers being mugged several months before and was knocked out cold, waking up to find rent-a-cop Gabriele (Michele Venitucci) coming to her rescue. However, Veronica still has no answer to her biggest question -- what does she do now that she's expecting a baby that she knows her husband didn't father? Il Seme della Discordia (aka The Seed of Discord) was an official selection at the 2008 Venice Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Great Alibi
A man is shot dead, but is the woman with the gun really the killer? That's the all-important question in this thriller from France. Henri Pages (Pierre Arditi) is a successful politician who with his wife Elaine (Miou-Miou) has invited an eclectic group of guests to their country home for a weekend get-together. Joining Henri and Elaine are Pierre Collier (Lambert Wilson), a prominent psychoanalyst; his unhappy wife Claire (Anne Consigny); Pierre's lover Esther (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi), an artist; Lea (Caterina Murino), an exhibitionistic actress who was once involved with Pierre; Philippe (Mathieu Demy), a straight-laced writer; and Marthe (Celine Sallette), a beautiful woman given to severe mood swings. Henri has a large collection of guns, and while Pierre is enjoying a swim, he's shot to death with one of the rare firearms. While Claire is holding the murder weapon when the body is found, police detective Lieutenant Grange (Maurice Benichou) isn't so certain he has an open and shut case on his hands, and begins looking into the many people who have a reason for wanting Pierre out of the picture. Grange's investigation becomes even more challenging when Lea makes it clear she's sexually attracted to him. Le Grand Alibi (aka The Great Alibi) was adapted from the novel The Hollow, a Hercule Poirot mystery by Agatha Christie. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Non Pensarci
A moderately successful, thirtysomething rocker in dire need of a warm bed and a home-cooked meal returns to his family home in Rimini, only to be faced with a series of crises both large and small in this affectionate family comedy from director Gianni Zanasi. Stefano Nardini (Valerio Mastandrea) is a post-punk guitarist stuck in a strange career limbo; while he isn't exactly an unknown, he wouldn't be considered a household name by any means. When Stefano returns to his childhood home for a momentary reprieve from the rock & roll nightlife, his family welcomes him back with open arms. Unfortunately for Stefano, this retreat will be far from relaxing, since everyone under the roof seems locked into some sort of personal crisis. For starters, once-studious sister Michela (Anita Caprioli) has abandoned her education in favor of working with dolphins, and struggling mother Giuliana (Gisella Burinato) is taking self-help classes from a loopy guru who claims to hold the secrets to a happier life. On the more serious end of things, brother Alberto (Giuseppe Battiston) is locked into a bitter split with his ill-content wife -- a deeply personal woe that is only compounded by the fact that the family factory he runs has sunken deep into debt. When Alberto proves reluctant to divulge the sorry state of the family business to father Walter (Teco Celio), loyal siblings Stefano and Michela do their best to pitch in and set things right. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Les Bronzes 3: Friends Forever
Six of France's greatest screen comedians reunite in this long-awaited sequel to the classic box-office hits Les Bronzes and Les Bronzes Font du Ski. Skirt-chasing Popeye (Thierry Lhermitte) has settled down and married beautiful Graziella (Ornella Muti), and together they run an upscale resort hotel in Sardinia. However, Popeye still has his eye on the ladies rather than the bottom line -- he's carrying on with a beautiful young cook -- and Graziella warns him that he has to stop giving free rooms to his old friends. Unfortunately, this edict comes down just as Popeye's pals arrive, expecting a stay on the house. Jerome (Christian Clavier) was making a fortune as a plastic surgeon until a malpractice suit ended his career; now he hopes to reconnect with his former wife Gigi (Marie-Anne Chazel). However, when Gigi shows up it's clear she's also been seeing a plastic surgeon, and has brought along her new beau, upscale wig salesman Jean-Claude (Michel Blanc). And wealthy and smug Bernard (Gerard Jugnot) and Nathalie (Josiane Balasko) arrive with their dog in tow, though their vacation goes through a rough patch when Bernard makes a potentially disturbing discovery about their son. Les Bronzes 3: Amis Pour La Vie (aka Les Bronzes 3: Friends Forever) was directed by Patrice Leconte, who was also behind the camera for the original two films. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Corsican File
Les Visiteurs co-stars Jean Reno and Christian Clavier re-team for this comic book adaptation that follows a hip Parisian private eye on his quest to locate a Corsican "citizen" due to receive a large inheritance. Jack Palmer (Clavier) is a Paris-based detective whose swollen ego could cast a shadow over the Eiffel Tower. Ange Leoni (Reno) is a native of Corsica whose location can't be pinned down by even the most dogged of detectives. Approached by an obscure, small-time attorney and charged with the seemingly simple task of locating the missing Leoni, gifted gumshoe Palmer accepts the job under the false assumption that it will be the easiest money of his professional career. Soon after arriving on the island of Corsica, however, this superstar sleuth finds of just how mistaken he truly is. Not only are the locals suspiciously tight-lipped about the mysterious Corsican's whereabouts, but it quickly begins to appear as if the underworld has taken an ominous interest in Palmer's "open and shut" case as well. Later, after being brutalized by policemen, kidnapped by thugs, and having his car bombed, Palmer begins to comprehend the true futility of his search upon learning that his target is both the godfather of the Corsican mafia and France's most wanted. As the identities of the hunter and the hunted gradually become harder to distinguish, the detective is led on a wild goose chase around the picturesque island while finding the charms of Leoni's lovely wife Lea (Caterina Murino) increasingly difficult to resist. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Stephen Dorff, Val Kilmer, Jessica Gilsig, and Stephen McHattie star in this two-part mini-series inspired by the 1984 comic book series of the same name (which was later adapted into a popular video game by Ubisoft Entertainment). A young man with no recollection of the past is discovered in a forest, the only clue to his past being a tattoo that reads "XIII." Subsequently accused of assassinating the president, the man embarks on a desperate quest to discover his true identity and expose the conspirators attempting to use him as a scapegoat for a crime he didn't commit. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hemingway's Garden of Eden

Penned between 1946 and 1961, Ernest Hemingway's novel The Garden of Eden remained incomplete at the time of its author's suicide, but finally appeared in 1986, as the second posthumously published Hemingway novel following the 1970 Islands in the Stream. As directed by John Irvin (Turtle Diary) and scripted by James Scott Linville, this screen adaptation faithfully adheres to the original story. The tale takes place in the 1920s, on the Côte d'Azur of the French Riviera, where David Bourne (Jack Huston), a youngish American writer, and his gorgeous wife, Catherine (Mena Suvari), spend a tranquil honeymoon. Tranquil, that is, until Catherine grows restless and dissatisfied, and brings into their midst Marita (Caterina Murino), an Italian girl to whom they both feel magnetically attracted. In seemingly no time at all, her sensual presence threatens to tear the marriage asunder. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The uniformed but rebellious students of a distinguished all-girls school get an unexpected chance to raise a little hell as directors Oliver Parker and Barnaby Thompson set out to revive the characters created by comic artist Ronald Searle and made popular in the British film series that began with 1954's The Belles of St. Trinian's. When their beloved school is threatened with closure should the powers that be fail to raise the proper funds, the girls scheme to steal a priceless painting and use the profits to pull St. Trinian's out of the black. Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, and Mischa Barton star in a mischievous comedy penned by Piers Ashworth and Nick Moorcroft. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Actor Daniel Craig assumes the role formerly occupied by such screen greats as Sean Connery, Roger Moore, and Timothy Dalton to set out on the character's very first 007 mission. James Bond has earned his "00" status by masterfully executing a pair of death-defying professional assassinations. Now assigned the task of traveling to Madagascar to spy on notorious terrorist Mollaka (Sebastien Foucan) for his maiden voyage as a 007 agent, Bond boldly goes against MI6 policy to launch an independent investigation that finds him traversing the Bahamas in search of Mollaka's notoriously elusive terror cell. Subsequently led into the company of the mysterious Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian) and his exotic girlfriend, Solange (Caterina Murino), Bond soon realizes that he is closer than ever to locating well-guarded terrorist financier Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), the man who has personally bankrolled some of the most prevalent terrorist organizations on the planet. When Bond learns that Le Chiffre is planning to partake in an upcoming high-stakes poker game to be played at Montenegro's Le Casino Royale and use the winnings to establish his financial grip on the globe, M (Judi Dench) assigns beguiling agent Vesper (Eva Green) the task of watching over the fledgling agent as he plays against Le Chiffre in a covert attempt to destroy the nefarious gambler's well-established monetary stronghold in the underworld once and for all. Bond will need more than his legendary gambling skills in order to win this dangerous game, though, and after allying himself with local MI6 field agent Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini) and CIA operative Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), the endlessly suave super-spy puts on his poker face for a high-stakes game of cards in which the stakes are not measured in dollars, but human lives. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

factor of an integer: An integer whose product with some integer is the given integer. For example, 3 and 4 are factors of 12, since 3 x 4 = 12; the positive factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, and the negative factors are -1, -2, -3, -4, -6, -12. factor of a polynomial: One of two or more polynomials whose product is the given polynomial. Sometimes one of the polynomials is not allowed to be the constant 1, but usually in elementary algebra a polynomial with rational coefficients is considered factorable if and only if it has two or more nonconstant polynomial factors whose coefficients are rational (sometimes it is required that the coefficients be integers). For example, (x2 - y2) has the factors (x - y) and (x + y) in the ordinary (elementary) sense; (x2 - 2y2) has the factors and in the field of real numbers; (x2 + y2) has the factors (x - iy) and (x + iy) in the complex field.

Waiting doesn't have to be unpleasant. When you order great reception chairs, you show clients, colleagues and employees that you care about their comfort. Having a cozy place to sit will make any wait, appointment or meeting experience a much pleasanter one.
The key to seating comfort is ample padding that is made from a cushy material. Our guest chairs offer great support so everyone can sit cozily in your office or reception area. Be sure to check the specifications to see just how thick the seat and back padding of the chairs you are considering is.
Ideal office seating doesn't just feel great, it should look great as well. Appealing frame and upholstery materials will greatly enhance the feel of any space. Many of our guest seating choices are available in a wide selection of fabric styles and colors so you can choose upholstery that coordinates with your decor and preferences.
Upholstery comes in either vinyl or fabric. Vinyl has a similar visual appeal to leather, but is much cheaper. It is easy to wipe down for cleaning purposes, and won't rip easily. Fabric has a softness and pliability that creates cozy seating.
Style is another important feature of guest chairs. To furnish an accounting firm or law office, you might want to consider classic tufted captains chairs. These imposing pieces project an air of authority, experience and expertise. For a media company or PR firm that wants to create a young, up-to-date feel, modern style is probably a better option. New age style can give a company a contemporary image that will appeal to hip young clients.
Guest seating is great for waiting areas and executive offices. High-profile professionals often host personal meetings in their offices, so they need to have some comfortable elegant seating in their personal work spaces. Guest chairs should be coordinated with other office furniture for a uniform appeal that exudes a sense of order and organization. To get a perfectly-matched office, you can order guest seating that is part of the same office furniture collection as an office desk and other pieces. This arrangement is ideal for a stately work space.
While style is important, user-friendly features must be considered as well in any purchase. Mobile guest chairs offer flexibility and easy transport. Stacking chairs are good for a space that is used for a number of different purposes because they are easy to setup and cleanup. They will give your guests permanent comfort, even when they are only being used temporarily.
Chairs are available both with and without armrests. Chair arms offer a classy way to separate individual seats. They also provide extra support to your guests. If you are more interested in fitting as many chairs as possible into the space you have, armless models are a better choice.
Hertz Furniture's guest chairs are designed to project professionalism and provide comfort. They come from high-quality office furniture manufacturers including Lesro, Regency Seating and OFM. If you need help determining how many chairs will fit in your space or deciding what the best style for your reception area is, contact the Hertz Design Center.
