Good except too short and broken
jakebfree from Yellow Springs, Ohio
I would have rated it 4 or 5 stars if not for the fact that the height adjustment lever was broken when I got it and it is shorter than I would expect a drafting chair to be. It turns out that there is another less adjustable chair in the same line that goes higher.
Nice, but short for "drafting chair"
jakebfree from Yellow Springs, Ohio– Verified Buyer
It's a really nice chair, it just isn't high enough to reach my lab bench. Other chairs in the series are, so I didn't notice that this one is shorter (probably because it is more adjustable and might get tippy when the back angle/seat tilt are free for adjustment)
OUR SKU # OT1712Drafting Chair with Adjustable Footrest is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: KH570

Prosecutors also played recordings in which Elizabeth Escalona as a teenager threatened to kill her mother. They said she was a former gang member who started smoking marijuana at age 11.
Ofelia Escalona said her daughter was abused as a child and that she should have helped her, though she also said Elizabeth did not tell her about the alleged abuse until a few days ago.
Testimony in the sentencing hearing was to continue Wednesday.

When Elaine Wolf Komarow, LAc, received her first acupuncture treatment in 1989, she said it changed her life. "I felt more aware, calmer, and happier. I was so fascinated by the changes that I began to learn everything I could about the underlying philosophy of Chinese medicine," said Komarow.

Industry News for Northwestern Health Sciences University
School of Massage Therapy Celebrates a Decade with Record Symposium Numbers
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. The School of Massage Therapy at Northwestern hit the spot this weekend with record attendance at the 2011 Symposium. More than 230 massage professionals filled the University on March 5 and 6 to attend continuing education workshops, visit with old and new colleagues, check out vendor products and celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the School of Massage Therapy.
Dale Healey, DC, dean of the School of Massage Therapy, can't believe it has been 10 years since the beginning of the program. "To have that large of a group join us for the 10-year anniversary made the weekend especially great," said Dr. Healey. "All of our presenters did a wonderful job and they were very well received."
Attendees earned 15 hours of continuing education and had the opportunity to participate in a hands-on workshop with keynote speaker David Kent, LMT, NCTMB. Kelli Quist, a 2002 graduate, feels Northwestern's symposium is the best continuing education around. "This is a great networking event and I always get the most out of being here," said Quist. "The variety of topics covered is awesome."
The optional cadaver labs led by Kim Swineheart, DC, associate professor at Northwestern, were a huge hit with attendees. First-time attendee Kristin Wilz decided to come when a fellow massage therapist recommended it. "I am enjoying my experience here and the cadaver lab is by far my favorite part of the weekend," said Wilz. "I will definitely be back; my journey has begun."
On Saturday evening attendees enjoyed a dinner reception in the cafeteria at Northwestern where they listened to music by vocalist/guitarist Sasha Mercedes, reflected on the past 10 years of the School of Massage Therapy and danced the night away. "It's always great to see alumni come back after they graduate and meet the new attendees, as well," said Susie Biwer, assistant director of alumni, development & career services. "Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and have a great time. I would say the weekend was a success!"
Excitement surrounding the 2011 Symposium was caught on camera by the communications department with a video campaign, "Tell Us Your Northwestern Story." Over the course of the weekend attendees could record their Northwestern story and be entered into a gift card drawing. The gift card winners were: Barbara Jean Turner, $15; Kathy Nokleby, $25; and RondaKae Vainikka, massage therapy student at Northwestern, $50. "I felt kind of nervous, but I decided to just do it," said Vainikka on recording her Northwestern story. "I never expected to win!"
"It's incredible to look back on our history of 10 years and realize what an amazing journey it has been," says Dr. Healey. "This was a great year to celebrate what we have accomplished and look forward to what the next 10 years will bring."
Photos and video footage from the 2011 Symposium can be found on Northwestern's Facebook page.
Northwestern Health Sciences University offers a wide array of choices in natural health care education including chiropractic, Oriental medicine, acupuncture, therapeutic massage and human biology. The University has nearly 900 students on a 25-acre campus in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Prosecutors to attack Pistorius' story, character
Neighbors, an ex-girlfriend, a member of a firearms club and a former soccer player who claims Oscar Pistorius threatened him are all named among the 107 potential state witnesses for the double-amputee Olympian's murder trial.
Preparing to attack Pistorius' story that he didn't know it was girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his bathroom when he shot and killed her on Valentine's Day, prosecutors may base their case on the assertion that a loud argument between the couple was heard by neighbors before the killing.
The list of witnesses submitted in the 11-page indictment against Pistorius also suggests that prosecutors will examine whether the world-famous athlete was prone to anger or violence and behaved recklessly with guns, questioning his character.
Here's what those witnesses and the outline of the case against Pistorius may mean when he stands trial on charges of premeditated murder and illegal possession of ammunition in March 2014:
Pistorius says he shot through a toilet stall door in his bathroom because he thought a dangerous intruder was in the cubicle. In an affidavit during his bail hearing in February - his story - Pistorius said he was terrified and shot to protect himself and Steenkamp, whom he believed was still in the bedroom. Pistorius will have to defend that version at his trial, while from the indictment it appears prosecutors will contend that there was an argument and that Pistorius had no reason to believe there was an intruder in his upscale home in a gated community.
Prosecutors will likely hinge much of their case on witnesses they say heard a woman scream before the sound of gunshots at Pistorius' villa in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14. In its timeline, the prosecution said those witnesses ''heard a woman scream, followed by moments of silence, then heard gunshots and more screaming.''
It contradicts Pistorius, who says that the only shouting was by him, telling the person in the bathroom to get out of his house, and then shouting at Steenkamp, whom he says he believed was in bed, to call the police. In the prosecution's list, 18 witnesses are connected to the Silver Woods Country Estate where Pistorius lived and who may have heard or seen something suggesting a motive.
Another marked difference in the two sides' stories. Prosecutors said at the start of the case that Pistorius took time to put on his prosthetic legs, then ''walked 25 meters to the bathroom and shot the deceased whilst she was in the toilet,'' and therefore committed premeditated murder.
Pistorius maintains he did not have his prosthetics on when he fired and was on his stumps and feeling ''extremely vulnerable.''
While the prosecution described a possible argument in Monday's indictment, it did not mention the prosthetics. Evidence that proves whether or not Pistorius was wearing his prosthetics will help one side's credibility and badly hurt the other's.
The toilet door and cellphones found at Pistorius' home could hold crucial evidence. Holes in the door may show the trajectory of the bullets and if Pistorius was shooting with his prosthetic legs on and therefore from a higher point than from his stumps. Police forensic and ballistics officers will likely be called as witnesses.
South African news reports have speculated that the couple may have fought because Steenkamp was sending messages to a former boyfriend. He was not on the witness list, but the cellphones may still yield crucial information about the hours before Steenkamp was killed.
Prosecutors may try to show a dark side to Pistorius, painting him as angry and prone to violence. Mark Batchelor, the former soccer player, has said that a drunken Pistorius once threatened to break his legs in a disagreement, and his testimony might further erode Pistorius' image.
Pistorius' defense submitted statements from a few witnesses for his bail application, with one friend saying that the athlete is ''a role model to millions and yet he is still a down-to-earth, humble, approachable and intelligent man.''
Which is the real Oscar Pistorius?
Pistorius' former girlfriend, Samantha Taylor, also could be called by the prosecution amid reports that she was once driving a car when Pistorius fired a gun out of the sunroof. So, too, could people who were at a Johannesburg restaurant when Pistorius reportedly shot another gun accidentally. It was reported that those two incidents would be incorporated into Pistorius' indictment, adding charges of recklessly discharging a firearm in public. They were not, but the incidents could still be brought up at trial.
A member of Pistorius' gun collecting club is also a witness, suggesting prosecutors may further examine Pistorius' attitude to firearms. Before the shooting, Pistorius applied for licenses for six more guns in addition to the 9mm Parabellum pistol which he was licensed to have for self-defense and which he used to kill his girlfriend.
A woman who works at the South African Weather Service is named as a possible witness along with police officers, forensic and ballistic experts, criminal psychologists and paramedics.

The Vancouver duo is called upon to christen the city's newest concert venue (and its moshpit, no doubt), as the refashioned former London Tap House opens in the middle of the downtown club district. Battle-hardened by some relentless touring in the wake of last year's celebrated Celebration Rock release, they get some help from tour mates Crocodiles, a pairing that makes you believe there might well be a future yet for ringing and anthemic guitar rock.

Something To Declare: Ryanair's bag fee rise; airmiles' final deadline; Ukraine, via Poland; California's West Coast
Saturday 10 December 2011
Warning of the week: Ryanair's bag fee rise
Take care when booking a holiday on Ryanair: a family of four could pay charges of more than £1,000, in addition to the cost of their plane tickets.
For bookings made from Wednesday onwards, for travel in June-September 2012, the online charge increases by £5 to £25 per bag per passenger per flight. You can reduce the luggage liability by booking your summer trip by next Tuesday, 14 December; the existing rates will apply until then.
If you fail to book bags in advance, the rate rises to £100 per case – £800 for a family of four on a return trip. The "boarding card reissue penalty" is rising by half to £60 per person per flight. So a careless family will pay £1,280 on top of the fare.
Tip of the week: Airmiles' final deadline
Three weeks ago, more than two million holdings of Airmiles loyalty points were converted to Avios, a new currency – and the rules were changed to oblige passengers to pay "taxes, fees and charges" for their reward flights. But if you book by phone within the next few days, you can still obtain flights according to the old rules. Call 0844 49 333 99 by 8pm next Thursday,15 December.
Bargain of the week: Ukraine, via Poland
The largest country wholly in Europe, Ukraine is suddenly on the map as co-host for the Euro 2012 football championships. Yet it remains largely undiscovered. Only the capital, Kiev (pictured), has direct air links with the UK. The country's most beautiful city, Odessa, is difficult to reach – but a current promotion by LOT Polish Airlines (lot.com) offers deals from £270 return from Heathrow to the "pearl of the Black Sea".
For an advance preview of Donetsk, where England will play most of their Group matches next June, you can pay as little as £218. You can also visit Lviv via Warsaw for £300. But for this beautiful city, a better gateway is Rzeszow in south-east Poland, served from Stansted by Ryanair.
Destination of the week: California's West Coast
The ideal way to see America's West Coast, according to many travellers, is driving California's Highway 1. But if you prefer to be a Pacific coast passenger and enjoy the views at leisure, the train provides a grand alternative. The service from San Diego via Los Angeles to Santa Barbara has been upgraded, and offers free Wi-Fi. It runs three times a day, taking around five hours – with significant stretches beside the ocean.
You can break the journey at several points along the way, including Oceanside (for Legoland) and Anaheim (for Disneyland). One train a day (noon northbound, 6.45am southbound) serves San Luis Obispo – which is where the best stretch of Highway 1 begins.
The standard one-way fare for the 232-mile journey, with no need to book in advance, is $41 (£27). For comparison, the fare for the same distance between London and Darlington is £105.

12 February 2013 11:30 AM, PST | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
The Nominees Alan Arkin, Argo Robert De Niro, Silver Linings Playbook Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Master Tommy Lee Jones, Lincoln Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained Could Best Supporting Actor be this year's most unsettled Oscar category? While Daniel Day-Lewis and Anne Hathaway have grabbed nearly every Best Actor and Supporting Actress trophy around, several men have split the Supporting Actor plaudits. And unlike last year, when Christopher Plummer's Beginners win was a foregone conclusion, this crop could provide some genuine excitement early in the Oscar telecast. (Still, keep your expectations in check: This is one terse, ornery group of former winners.)If there's a tentative front-runner here for you to put down on your Vulture Oscar ballot, it's got to be Lincoln's Tommy Lee Jones, who took home the Screen Actors Guild win in this category. Over the past five years, SAG has correctly indicated the eventual Oscar winner in »

It's official – cheering for the Patriots to win Super Bowl XLVI is akin to cheering for a sluggish economy and Wall Street stagnation.
As if Giant fans and other New England haters didn't have enough reasons to cheer against the perennially successful Patriots, their obnoxious head coach and devilishly handsome quarterback.
Yes investors will be cheering on the New York Giants, because the stock market does much better after an NFC team wins the Super Bowl than when an AFC team wins.
It all comes down to this. After a long and exciting season of NFL betting, only one game remains on the betting card; the 2012 Super Bowl between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Here's a look at the opening lines for the big game.
New England opens as a 3-point favorite at 5Dimes. Plenty of points are expected from these two talented offenses as the total is currently set at 55 points.
The New York Giants lost here in November but had been 4-0 ATS in four previous visits to face the San Francisco 49ers.
Their strong recent play and that history of west-coast wins has the Giants as just 2.5-point opening line underdogs on the NFC conference final odds menu. They finished the year on a 6-2 ATS run in road games and will need that trend to continue against a team that has been a point-spread covering machine at home. [ Best 49ers home spread? -1.5, -110 at TopBet earlier Sunday while the best Giants line was +3 at Bovada ]
The 49ers upset the New Orleans Saints in the divisional playoff, scoring late in a see-saw battle. They are now 10-0-1 ATS in their past 11 home games, although they are just 1-3 ATS in their past four games as a favorite.
The Giants meanwhile are 4-0 ATS in their past 4 games as an NFL underdog, traditionally a spot you find the best dog lines is at Bovada.
Of note, the OVER is 10-2 in the past 12 conference title games, indicating the offenses pull out all the stops with a trip to Super Bowl 46 on the line.
The Baltimore Ravens have lost 7 of their past 8 meetings with the New England Patriots but that lone victory was a huge one two years ago.
The Ravens came to town and stomped the Pats 33-14 in a Wild Card game as a 4-point underdog. This time, they visit Foxboro opening as a 7.5-point playoff underdog on the AFC championship game odds menu. [ Best Pats line? -7, -102 at 5Dimes earllier Sunday. ]
The least likely Super Bowl scenario is the Ravens vs the Giants, which would be a repeat of Super Bowl XLV when Baltimore crushed New York.
If you bet that today and both the Ravens and Giants win Sunday, it's a 12/1 payout.
It's just one of dozens of prop bets on the NFL conference final odds menu, according to Bovada. For the record, they made a Patriots vs 49ers Super Bowl as the top betting choice at 2/1 odds.
Football bettors, office poolies and pickem game contestants have plenty of stats and resources at their fingertips when handicapping the game. But how many of those stats or trends are their own?

Houston has never beaten Baltimore in their short history, losing all five and covering the spread just once.
And they were quickly bet up to 9-point road underdogs here in an AFC divisional playoff game. The Texans won their Wild Card game against the Bengals while the 12-4 Ravens got a week to rest.
While the week off was not officially a bye week, bettors should be wary that Baltimore has been dominant against the spread with an extra week of rest - they are 9-1 ATS the past 10 seasons. The Ravens have also dominated at home, going 18-1 SU in their past 19.
The Texans have covered 4 straight as an underdog but the OVER (which opened at 38 at 5Dimes) has been the best bet when they are dogged, with a 9-2 trend favoring the OVER. A caution however to Baltimore backers - they have failed to cover the spread the past 5 times they were chalk of 9 points or more.
Divisional weekend wraps up Sunday with two intriguing NFL betting matchups as the Baltimore Ravens host the Houston Texans and the Green Bay Packers host Eli Manning and the New York Giants.
Here's a look at some prop bets to consider at Bovada as well as some NFL line movement and totals updates.
No. 3 Houston Texans at No. 2 Baltimore Ravens
If you enjoy defensive battles and road underdogs, history tells us you won't enjoy conference championship weekend.
Because if recent trends hold true and the number-crunching OddsShark.com NFL prediction computer is correct, the Patriots and 49ers will win and the games will go over the total.
That is the NFL betting trend in the past five playoff seasons with home teams going 8-2 SU and 10 of 12 games playing over the total.
A rematch of a Week 13 battle that saw the New York Giants lose a 38-35 thriller at home, the NFC divisional playoff game will have the Green Bay Packers as big chalk again.
But this time, the Packers are at home, where they have dominated, winning 14 straight and going 12-2 ATS while facing some big spreads.
The line opened at -8 but many bettors like the way the Giants are playing and they have a history as mean dog, winning four in a row as an underdog of 8 or more points.
Total bettors know that 6 of the past 7 meetings have gone OVER, but will the opening total of 52.5 force many to bet the UNDER?
Spread bettors who have profited from the Packers as a post-bye-week team know they are 5-0-1 ATS in the past 6 regular seasons. Their week off last week isn't an official bye week, but they have shown ability to win and cover with extra rest.
