MOUNT VERNON Watergate by Thomas Mallon is the featured selection for the Adult Book Discussion on Tuesday, Nov. 20, at 7 p.m. at the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County, 201 N. Mulberry St., Mount Vernon.
Four decades have passed since five bungling burglars were arrested in the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., indelibly contaminating a luxurious commercial and residential complex with the stink of political corruption, and providing a scandal-infused suffix to every subsequent foray into questionable behavior (Irangate, Monicagate, anyone?).
Mallon blends history and speculation effectively in recalling those frenzied days of the Dictabelt, the smoking gun, hush money, the Saturday Night Massacre, the Enemies List, Deep Throat, CREEP, and expletive deleted. But Mallon has rotated the cast of characters, pulling some stars out of the limelight while raising others to new prominence. Henry Kissinger barely creeps around the edges of the story, while Fred LaRue surges to importance, trying to protect the president while saving his own soul.
Richard Nixon himself is portrayed discerningly, at the same time baffled by his critics while focused on constructing his future reputation. But the real story of Watergate is the stories of the women involved Martha Mitchell, the erratic wife of the attorney general; Rose Mary Woods, the presidents ferociously loyal secretary; and Pat Nixon, the novels tragic heroine. But all these women are outshone by the hilariously acid-tongued Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who unerringly makes fools of everyone she encounters.
The discussion will be led by Tim Kahrl of the History Department of the Ohio State University, Mansfield. Copies of Watergate can be checked out of the public library; or purchased at Paragraphs Bookstore, 229 S. Main St., or Colonial Book Shop and Kids Shelf, 521 S. Main St., both in Mount Vernon.
The book discussions, sponsored by the Adult Services Department of the public library, are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
For more information call 392-2665, ext. 243.

Lawns are important. They make the landscape look better. They improve visibility along roadways and around the home. They keep pests away. They provide a place to play.
OUR LACK OF SNOW plus relatively warm temperatures are probably not going to hurt your perennial gardens. It wasn't bone-chillingly cold – as in well below zero degrees Fahrenheit – while the ground was bare.
IF YOUR BULBS push out of the ground and you find them before they push out shoots, step on the bulb to force it back into the ground (or use a shovel if your soil is soft enough). If the bulbs are in the ground but their shoots look like they are growing too tall, too early, there is nothing you should do about that. Anything you do may very well hurt your bulbs more then help them.
GENERALLY THE BULB shoots come up earliest in sheltered locations near buildings. If we get several back-to-back blizzards (which we're due for), the snow will cover the shoots and the bulbs won't push up blooms until your soil once again warms. It's all part of gardening in Maine.
"Turfgrass is an important part of the landscape," Jesse O'Brien of Down East Turf Farms in Kennebunk recently told a group made up mostly of lawn-care professionals at O'Donal's Nursery in Gorham. "The more people care about their property, the more turf is an essential part of it."
Even people with a lot of gardens use lawns as a pathway to walk among the gardens, as a buffer between the pavement and the gardens, and as a decorative element.
But lawns and the way they are cared for are coming under attack. Many people believe they use too much water, fertilizer and pesticide. Others oppose them because they are sterile, providing little habitat for wildlife and a single color instead of the flowers of perennials.
O'Brien, who also teaches turf management at the University of Maine, says due to that opposition – and to limit damage to the environment – the lawn-care industry has to change.
And the biggest change, he says, is that the lawn-care companies have to start selling their expertise, not the products. For the homeowner, the biggest thing they should know is when the lawns should be fertilized.
There are only two times a year when lawns should be fertilized – in the spring, when the ground first gets to about 50 to 55 degrees and the light increases, and in late summer or early fall, when the rains begin and the soil temperature has dropped enough that the lawn has come out of the semi-dormancy of summer.
"Too early in the season does no good," O'Brien said. "Too late is no good."
Scott's and other lawn-care companies have for years pushed a process in which lawns are fertilized four times a year, at least two of which do no good.
So those who use lawn companies to apply fertilizer and pesticides should find out how many applications the company is planning to make. You should insist the company do no more than two.
O'Brien was part of a group that set the target dates of April 15 and Sept. 1 for fertilization – with the Sept. 1 application being better – but added that the decision should be based on the phenology (or seasonal life cycle) of the grass. In simpler terms, when the grass is growing, you can fertilize it.
He urged all lawn-care providers to mulch grass clippings and leave them on the lawn because it reduces the need for fertilizer, although a number of the providers responded that their customers would not accept that.
Soil is the most important factor in having a healthy lawn. An ideal lawn soil should have 5 percent organic matter. The rest should be 25 percent air, 25 percent water and 45 percent minerals – sand, silt and clay in various mixtures.
In most home lawns, there is not enough organic matter because the topsoil or loam was scraped away and sold off before the house was built. Once the house is finished, the contractor brings back enough topsoil to create a 2- or 3-inch layer on top of the gravel and construction rubble. But on O'Brien's turf farm, the best grass grows where he has a foot of topsoil.
If a homeowner is having trouble with the lawn, in some cases the best thing to do is to tear out the lawn and start over. You simply can't add compost to the soil without damaging the turf.
O'Brien said you can improve the soil by spreading compost on top of the lawn. You need to use finely screened compost and a lot of it, probably over several years. When you apply the compost, you have to leave part of the grass blades showing above the compost.

Common Pain Relievers Linked to Elevated Blood Pressure in MenPosted: Thursday, March 08, 2007
Men who regularly take commonly available and widely used pain relievers may have an increased risk of high blood pressure of 48% compared with those who do not use these medications.
Two large studies have recently suggested that analgesics may be associated with an increased risk of hypertension high blood pressure in women. However, the association has not been extensively studied in men.
John P. Forman, MSc, MD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, and colleagues followed a total of 16,031 male health professionals (average age 64.6 years) who did not have a history of high blood pressure. The men were asked in 2000 and again in 2002 about whether and how often they used three types of pain relievers: acetaminophen, NSAIDs and aspirin. They were also asked to report if their physician had diagnosed them with hypertension.
Over four years of follow-up, 1,968 men developed hypertension. Compared with men who did not take analgesics, those who took acetaminophen six or seven days a week had a 34% higher risk of hypertension. Those who took NSAIDs six or seven days a week had a 38% higher risk and those who took aspirin six or seven days a week had a 26% higher risk.
The researchers also looked at the total number of pain-relieving pills men took each week, regardless of type. Compared with men who took no pills, those who took 15 or more pills each week had a 48% higher risk of hypertension.
All three types of analgesics may inhibit the effects of chemicals that relax the blood vessels, decreasing blood pressure, the authors suggest. Acetaminophen also may impair cell functioning through oxidative stress or reduce the proper functioning of blood vessel lining.
"These data add further support to the hypothesis that non-narcotic analgesics independently elevate the risk of hypertension," the authors write. "Given their common consumption and the high prevalence of hypertension, our results may have substantial public health implications and suggest that these agents be used with greater caution.

Colorado cops arrested an intoxicated woman while responding to a domestic disturbance Tuesday because she allegedly tried to smuggle her newborn puppy away in her pants.
KMGH-TV reports 39-year-old Johna Rose Turner agreed to leave the scene, but before she did, she allegedly grabbed the tiny chihuahua and stuffed the dog into her pants. When officers told her to release the dog, Turner is accused of shaking her leg and letting the puppy roll out.
Officers say the suspect later tossed the puppy onto a nearby stroller. The six-day-old pup was unhurt, but cops arrested Turner on suspicion of animal cruelty.

Casual crustacean-inspired chain serves up diet-defying seafood dishes in a family-friendly environment. – In Short
Live lobsters wriggle in a tank inside this seafood emporium, where nautical-patterned booths and colorful, fish-shaped tables in the bar area add subdued touches of whimsy to the room's classy dark wood accents. The menu can be downright decadent, with starters of artichoke lobster dip, seafood fondue, and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Entrees feature lighter, grilled fare like mahi-mahi and North Atlantic sea scallops, along with signature lobster dishes, snow crab legs, and jumbo fried shrimp platters.
fried food if you like it – Plantatioin- Red Lobster
Went for lunch on a weekday. The ambience is ok, there's plenty of window seats and booths. The greetier at the door was friendly and helpful.
So we sat down and looked at the menu. They had a regular menu and the "as shown on tv" menu. I am not a big fan of fried food so I skipped those items, although I noticed that other patrons seemed to enjoy the fried items. I ordered the Mahi Mahi, broiled with sweet and spicy sauce. My mom and aunt ordered the Salmon in a bag.
So here is where things tend to break down, and I'm not sure it's fair to blame Red Lobster if one of its waitresses is having a bad day. She just couldn't get our order straight and came back for clarification, like "what was it that you ordered?" It was some time later, and it means she still hadn't entered our order in the computer. All of our orders came back wrong. There was no glaze on my Mahi Mahi. Mashed Potatoes instead of baked, regular salad instead of ceasar salad. After repeated requests, no butter came, no straws for the drinks, an order for carbonated water never came. So many things, I decided we'd have to start over to get it right so I kept quiet. But then the salmon in a bag came.... undercooked, still raw and cold on the inside of the fish, vegetables raw and uncooked. The best part of the meal was the desert consisting of "chocolate Wave." So, I would say, the food and service has potential. Maybe on a different day you'll fare better. Be vigilant.
Big Improvements – This restaurant has greatly improved in recent months. The food was always really good. They are finally getting it together with better service. They have remodeled, too. You should give them another try if you were unhappy with their service before.

This isn't for sequels you wouldn't mind seeing, but sequels that would have you frothing at the mouth and just throwing money at a cashier while screaming "JUST GIVE ME THE BOX!!!". Make the assumption that the sequel would be the best of the series.
My list:
1. Betrayal in Krondor 2 - Really ANY awesome game set in the Midkemia world that allows for real role playing and immersion. Open world would = see you in 40 years.
2. Baldur's Gate 3 - I don't even care if its set in the same area of the world or even if its in the forgotten coast, I just want a 200+ hour, strategic, endless replay RPG. No, Dragon Age isn't BG3.
3. Dungeon Keeper 3 - nothing like it before, nothing like it since. I preferred the first one, but second is still good.
4. Might and Magic ANYTHING (if it was done by the people that worked on mm6).
5. Age of Mythology 2. My favorite RTS of all time.
6. Mount and Blade: Warband 2 - Just checked my played on this game - 350+ hours.
7. Master of Orion 4
Now for my totally ridiculous dream game so impractical and awesome it could never be built:
CIV IV - with the ability to pause and engage in open world roleplaying at any time and the game transitions to alpha centauri and turns into Master of Orion which can be played as a strategy game and paused for open universe role-playing. Talk about memory leaks!!!

Re: Sequels you'd LOVE to see
1. Final Fantasy Tactics 2 - A real one, not the GBA/DS 'made for tweens' sequels.
2. Planescape Torment 2 - Not sure how it would work though, I think The Nameless One's story was pretty much resolved.
3. Hexen 3 - Come on, FPS D&D!!

Re: Sequels you'd LOVE to see
I would like to see a proper X-Com game coming out, not the...well, you know. Garbage. The trash being created right now. Also a proper syndicate sequel, not the garbage that just came out.
Battle Realms 2. I don't like RTS games but that one really really pulled me in when it came out.

Re: Sequels you'd LOVE to see
I'd like to see a sequel to DOOM that genuinely captured what made the original so much fun. The art in Doom 3 was terrible. The monsters need to definitely have a heavy satanic edge, instead of amorphous blobs. You take one look at the box cover art of DOOM 3 and it doesn't even look satanic.

Re: Sequels you'd LOVE to see
1. fallout tactics 2 - on the same graphic engine as FT!
2. commandos 4 - build on commandos 2 (the 3rd game in the series is weak)
3. ghost recon 2 - following the original GR from 2001, not GRAW

Re: Sequels you'd LOVE to see
1. Titan Quest 2 - I have got Grim Dawn on Kickstarter but would love a true sequel.
2. Master of Orion 4 - Loved 1 & 2 but 3 was a big letdown. I've tried many imitations since but none hold a candle to the first 2 MOO games.
3. Syndicate Wars 2 - The trash FPS is a big stain on the name but hopefully a return to the isometric roots hasn't been discarded based on the flop FPS.
4. Freelancer 2 - Microsoft need to either make a sequel or give the rights up so one can be made, it's a legendary game & well worth a sequel.
5. TES: Morrowind - I'd love to see Morrowind updated to a new engine & maybe expanded a little, Skyrim is great and all but Morrowind is still the top dog.

Re: Sequels you'd LOVE to see

This is a Yin Yang pendant necklace. Eastern philosophy and religious thought have historically emphasized the non-duality of the universe. The Ying-Yang represents this concept and helps us contemplate the nature of life in a different way, moving from rigid and ultimately, self-defeating notions of good vs. evil, man vs. woman, victory vs. defeat. This pendant necklace is made in the USA from lead free recycled pewter. The bright red strands are made from organic fibers. Each pendant depicts an artistic fusion of the yin yang symbol with a flower.

Without quite enough fanfare for as awesome an occurrence as it is (as far as Homestar Runner fans are concerned), Strong Bad's Trogdor arcade cabinet takes on a life of its own. Two L-shaped legs pop out of the bottom of the cabinet; two green wings sprout from the top; and Trogdor's signature flexing arm -- just the one -- busts out of the side. Accompanied by his bleeping theme song, Trogdor runs out of Strong Bad's basement and, as any self-respecting dragon is wont to do, begins to "burninate" the countryside.
8-Bit Is Enough, the season one finale of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, breaks plenty a fourth wall in video game design. And while we're well-past the 8-bit graphical era, many of the design choices populating today's up-to-the-minute releases carry on an instantly recognizable legacy from the medium's 1980's roots. Dozens of overused tropes from old school video games cross the line between the game world and Strong Bad's real world, all while Trogdor sweeps across the backdrops, setting everything aflame.
"He's out of control! You've got to stop him!" says Strong Sad.
"Stop him? No, no. It's pronounced, 'Cheer him on,'" corrects Strong Bad.
But eventually Strong Bad realizes that the destruction of the "8-bit reality containment field" inside of the Trogdor arcade cabinet is making real life a little too surreal. Despite admiring his own artistically-conceived creation to no end, 8-Bit Is Enough places Strong Bad in a position to have to kill his own baby.
With the single-minded drive of an '80s game character, Strong Bad sets aside a large portion of his talent for troublemaking and Homestar Runner bashing in order to set things aright. Immediately it becomes apparent that 8-Bit Is Enough, more than any other episode up to this point, would be difficult to enjoy without the previous four episodes informing the current state of affairs. Most of the cast regulars gently bow to the side as Strong Bad full-on charges through the storyline alone, while still managing to add a score of 8-bit Fun Machine video game characters to his party. (Yes, Strong Bad is in a video game, per se, but he also plays video games within his own video game. Hamlet's play within the play, if you will.)
In a commendable adventure game twist, Strong Bad's inventory is made up of less trinket-like inventory puzzle pieces, and more character-based puzzles. For example, he'll use Boxer Joe from the "Snake Boxer" game in order to bust open crates, or take advantage of metal band Limozeen's penchant for picking up on women in order to … well, that's enough spoilers.

Editors for the shell
More is not always better, especially at the command line. Lean text editors such as nano, JOE, and ee fit Linux novices and experts alike.
Text editors on Linux are two a penny. The two major desktop environments, KDE and Gnome, have their own graphical counterparts, all of which support mouse control and offer a multitude of functions with menus to match. But how will you manage if your GUI environment is broken or if you need to use SSH to work on a remote machine?
Classical text editors for the command line can be useful because you can control them with just the keyboard. Many users prefer one of the "major league" editors – Vi(m) or (X)Emacs – but if you prefer a leaner approach, you may find that a program like nano, JOE, or ee could be just as useful.

Novak Djokovic defeated Andy Murray 6-7 (2), 7-6 (4), 6-3, 6-2 on Sunday to defend his Australian Open title. Djokovic became the first man in the Open Era to win three consecutive Australian Opens. He how has six Grand Slam titles.
Despite having the best returners in the game, the match featured 31 straight holds before Djokovic finally broke through to break Murray in the third set. The Serb ran away with the match from there as Murray, who endured a four-hour match against Roger Federer two days ago, struggled with blisters and a hamstring problem.

Murray a bit slow and careful in his walk to the podium for his runner-up trophy. Great ovation from the crowd which was very pro-Djokovic through the match. He praises Djokovic's ability to win a third title and congratulates the Serb's team as well. Finally he thanks the crowd — and do I detect a bit of a catch in his throat there? — for being fair throughout the match.
Andy Murray has no idea what to do with his hands http://t.co/1nTV7h4E—

Djokovic is up next and lifts the Norman Brooks Challenge Cup once again. He congratulates Murray and his team and says he looks forward to more finals.Hard not to notice the very sincere words from both Djokovic and Murray about the tournament itself. Murray on tournament director Craig Tiley, "He just gets it." Djokovic effusive as well. This tournament has set the bar with respect to the treatment of the players. Tough act to follow for the other three.
7:26 a.m. ET | Djokovic wins the match 6-7, 7-6, 6-3, 6-1.
If this tournament has reminded us of anything it's that you need a little bit of luck to win one of these things. Down 0-30, Djokovic hits an overhead that clips the tape and lands on the other side. Could have just as easily landed on his own. He goes on to hold and his third straight Australian Open title and sixth overall, is his.
It wasn't a particularly memorable final but that's consistent for this entire tournament which was generally pretty lackluster. Apart from Djokovic's fourth round match against Stanislas Wawrinka and maybe Murray's five-set win over Federer, the last two weeks haven't featured much to remember.
The final stat-line:
Djokovic: 8 aces, 63% first serves in, 66% second serve points won, 47 winners, 61 unforced errors, 3 for 11 on break points.
Murray: 7 aces, 60% first serves in, 46% second serve points won, 29 winners, 46 unforced errors, 0 for 4 break points.
After losing that second set and having to deal with foot blisters, Murray's form dropped precipitously. He didn't hit an ace in the last two sets, his winning percentage on first serves went from 88 percent to 70 percent and while he hit 22 winners through the first two sets, he only hit seven for the rest of the match. Lots of credit to Djokovic for that, obviously. He simply got stronger as the match went on.
7:20 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, leads 5*-2.
They trade holds and Djokovic will serve to become the first man in the Open Era to complete a three-peat at the Australian Open.
7:12 a.m. ET | Djokovic breaks, leads 4*-1.
Murray's trying desperately to hold his serve and stay in the match but Djokovic is making it painful. The Serb isn't going for outright winners. He wants to out-rally Murray from the baseline and punish his body and that's exactly what he does. After holding easily Djokovic breaks after a long deuce game.
Murray's leaving it all out there, though. But Djokovic looks better now than he did in the first set. He's practically reverse-aging now.
6:57 a.m. ET | Djokovic breaks, leads 2*-1.
Murray jaws with the umpire during the changeover. He's unhappy with the umpire's inability to control the crowd as the idiot hecklers have interrupted play a number of times in that second set to Murray's detriment.
Murray serves first and quickly falls behind o-30. But he plays the best point he's played in over 30 minutes to get it to 30-30. He hugs the baseline and takes control of the point from the first stroke and refuses to let go, finishing with a dipping forehand into the corner. He holds. Huge. Match over if he doesn't.
Murray is willing himself on and he earns a break point thanks to some charitable misses. Djokovic sends the serve wide and Murray goes with a backhand slice return that sails long. If he's 100 percent healthy I think he makes the move to hit a two handed return there. It's clear that he's hurting. He can't stop and start the way he'd want to. Djokovic holds.
Chris Fowler has an apt description for the types of points played when Murray and Djokovic meet: attrition points. Patrick McEnroe goes the football route, saying it's "a ground game" or "a battle for field position". All that is to say, this no one is going to be popping this match into the DVD player anytime soon. Not a whole lot of memorable points but the drama is still incredibly high.
It's a struggle for Murray now as he tries to hold. He hits his fourth doublefault of the match to drop into a 15-30 hole. Heading into this match he only hit two doublefaults all tournament. Djokovic earns two break points as he smartly pulls Murray wide to the backhand and then back to the forehand. Murray's legs and feet just can't make the transition.
Djokovic breaks for a 3-1 lead and shoots a glare to his box. Unless Murray's racket gets on fire and he starts blasting winners from nowhere, this one's done.
Correction: #Murray clutching left buttock – not #Djokovic.—

Third set
6:39 a.m. ET | Djokovic wins the set 6-3 and leads two sets to one.
Nevermind what I said in that last post. Djokovic is digging in now.
You know what's not good for Andy Murray's foot? A 36-shot rally on the first point on his own serve that he loses followed by another 20-plus shot rally that he loses. Djokovic fires a forehand winner to earn his first break points since the first set at 0-40.
Just when this match seems to lull, a 36-shot rally.—
Drew Lawrence (@by_drew) January 27, 2013
Two forehand errors from Djokovic helps Murray save two but he can't save a third.
Ladies a gentlemen WE HAVE A BREAK OF SERVE after two hours and 51 minutes. Djokovic holds to love and he's a set away from the three-peat.
6:29 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 4-3*.
The energy level has dropped and it looks like the trainer will come back out at the changeover to look at Murray's nasty foot again. Seriously, HD television was not made for close-ups of skin falling off one's foot.
Both guys are playing the scoreboard now. They're giving away some early points to conserve energy and reengaging if the score gets to 30-30 or 40-30. A marginal detente, if you will.
Hold. Hold. 31-straight holds.
6:20 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 3-2*.
More holding. 29 straight holds now. Are we sure this is Murray vs. Djokovic? Seems a heck of a lot more like Isner vs. Karlovic.
6:14 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 2-1*.
In the five matches where these two have split the first two sets, Djokovic is 5-0. #ausopen—
Steve Tignor (@SteveTignor) January 27, 2013
Djokovic serves first in the third set and Murray's footwork isn't exactly firing after getting his foot retaped for what looked like blisters. Patrick McEnroe doesn't think Murray can win if his defense drops by even five percent. He's got more octane in his game these days but I have to agree. Has to be so disappointed to lose that second set. Needs to settle himself. Look for him to try and slow things down and conserve some energy early in this set.
Everyone holds. That's 27 straight holds between these two.
Second set
5:58 a.m. ET | Djokovic wins the tiebreak 7-4. One set all.
Murray leads, 1-0: Murray holds with a big serve.
Tied, 1-1: Djokovic responds with a big first serve on the tee. Didn't make a single first serve in the 1st tiebreak so that's already an improvement.
Tied, 2-2: Both men exchange errors. Still on serve.
Djokovic leads 3-2: Can you believe it. Djokovic gets the minibreak when a feather floats down to the court forcing Murray to reset on his second serve. He doublefaults.
Djokovic leads 4-2: He berated himself for going down the line too early in the rally on the last changeover. Shows some patience here, going crosscourt with Murray until it's Murray who pulls the trigger on a backhand down the line wide. Murray tells the umpire he wants to see the trainer at the end of the set. Uh oh.
Djokovic leads 5-2: Big serve wide.
Djokovic leads 5-3: Djokovic sends a forehand long.
Djokovic leads 6-4: First point Murray loses on his first serve in the set but it wasn't easy. Another punishing rally ends when Murray finally nets a backhand.
Djokovic wins 7-4: Murray slices a backhand into the net.
Are you kidding me? A feather???
A floating feather hasn't played so big a role in a drama since Forrest Gump.—

5:48 a.m. ET | Djokovic holds, 6-6.
Murray is two points from the set at 30-30 as Djokovic hits his first doublefault of the set. But he rebounds with a safer first serve that Murray leaves short and Djokovic eventually finishes the point at the net. He holds.
Tiebreak time. Again. Can Novak steal this one the way Murray stole the 1st?
5:44 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 6-5*.
Big hold for Djokovic at 15 and he's starting to grunt and roar. Look out.
He wins the first point of the game but Murray snuffs out any chance of a break with some big serving. That shot has improved as the match has worn on. If you can get some cheap points on your serve against Djokovic, you're in a good spot.
Djokovic will serve to force a tiebreak after the changeover.
Novak still berating himself on the sideline. Can't get broken here. #ausopen—
Steve Tignor (@SteveTignor) January 27, 2013
5:34 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 5-4*.
Another set of easy holds though you have to think Murray's starting to feel the frustration of not breaking Djokovic yet. He knows Djokovic is going through a lull but to the Serb's credit he's just focusing on holding his serve right now and hoping this dip passes.
If he gets it to a tiebreak this set goes 50-50.
5:28 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 4-3*.
Easy holds for both. Murray still looks like the better player right now. In the first set he hit 9 winners and 12 unforced errors. Already in the second set he's hit 9 winners to only 5 unforced errors. He's cleaned it up nicely.
5:20 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 3-2*.
Murray gets it to deuce but Djokovic holds. I think our own Andrew Lawrence hit the nail on the head here:
For as great as Murray's doing, I feel like we're one epic Djokovic rally from this match turning on its head.—
Drew Lawrence (@by_drew) January 27, 2013
Djokovic is still misfiring off the baseline. Keeps trying to go down the lines and to get depth and he's sending it long more often than not. Murray's speed is clearly in his head. Murray holds at 15. Highlight of that game was Djokovic punting a ball in frustration and throwing his racket.
5:10 a.m. ET | Murray leads, 2-1*.
Great stat from ESPN: After struggling with his first serve throughout that first set, Murray didn't miss one during the tiebreak. Meanwhile, Djokovic didn't make a single one.
No let down from Murray to start the second set. He stands right on the baseline and runs Djokovic completely ragged as the Serb can't figure out how to hit through him. He holds easily for a 1-0 lead.
Andy looking very composed. Djokovic looking strangely off balance. You seldom see that from him.—
Jamie Murray (@jamie_murray) January 27, 2013
Djokovic is completely discombobulated and drops to 0-40 on his serve. These are Murray's first break points of the match. Djokovic saves all three to get to deuce but he dodged a major bullet at 15-40. Floated a forehand into the middle of the court and Murray mishits his backhand long. Horrible miss and it cost him big.
Djokovic holds. That might just kickstart him again.

Murray holds. Still no breaks of serve between these two.
First set
4:53 a.m. ET | Tiebreak
Murray leads, 1-0: Novak starts with a double fault.
Murray leads, 2-0: Murray pounding with his forehand. Best he's hit it all set.
Murray leads, 3-0: Djokovic takes a big cut at a forehand down the line and sends it long.
Murray leads, 4-0: Long rally and Murray finally mixes it up with a slice forehand that Djokovic slices back long. Murray sent a message in that rally that he can go all night if he needs to. He looks the fresher man right now.
Murray leads, 4-1: They're sucking air now after a 33-shot rally ends with a Djokovic overhead that lands right on the line. No really, they're literally sucking for air right now.
Murray leads 5-1: After that exhausting fifth point, Djokovic pulls the ripcord early and sends a forehand long.
Murray leads, 6-1: Big serve and forehand winner crosscourt for Murray. Five set points for the Brit as Judy Murray fires a big fistpump.
Murray leads, 6-2: Djokovic fires a wide serve and follows it up with a bullet backhand down the line for a winner.
Murray wins, 7-2: Djokovic sends a forehand long and Murray, who didn't see a break point for the entire set plays a perfect tiebreak to take the first set. Federer did that to him twice in the semifinal. You can't say Andy isn't a quick learner.
Murray is 7-10 career vs. Djokovic. In those 7 wins, Murray won 1st set. If trend continues, that tiebreak was huge. #ESPNTennis—
CHRIS MCKENDRY (@CMCKENDRY_ESPN) January 27, 2013
4:42 a.m. ET | Murray holds 6-6.
Tiebreak! Their first set tiebreak at the U.S. Open went 12-10 and took over 20 minutes. Djokovic won a tiebreak in Shanghai 13-11 over Murray.
Here we go.
4:38 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads 6-5*.
This has been great tennis so far but neither man has unlocked his best yet. Djokovic wants to be offensive while Murray is trying to get his first serve to click. It's let him down a bit but the percentages are starting to creep up.
Both men hold easily.
What I see so far: Djokovic is exhausted; Murray is concentrating too much on Djokovic's exhaustion and playing too passively.—
Tom Perrotta (@TomPerrotta) January 27, 2013
Let's check in on the stats:
Djokovic: 3 aces, 1 doublefault, 68% first serves, 80% second serve points won, 12 winners, 17 unforced errors, 0 for 5 on break points, 11 for 13 at the net.
Murray: 2 aces, 0 doublefaults, 61% first serves, 69% second serve points won, 7 winners, 11 unforced errors, 0 for 0 on break points, and 3 for 5 at the net.
4:29 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads 5-4*.
So far Murray hasn't served his best but he's been the cleaner player, hitting 6 winners to just 7 unforced to start the eighth game. Djokovic is the one taking the risk even if it costs him, with 9 winners to 13 unforced. That offense gets him his fifth break point of the set, which Murray saves with a big serve and big forehand to hold. I'm not sure which is more slippery: Murray or the traction on Djokovic's shoes. He's looking at his camp and frustrated with his shoes.
4:19 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads 4-3*.
Great response from Djokovic after being pushed to deuce in the fifth game. He earns two break points immediately on Murray's serve and Murray does well to fend them off to get to deuce. But Djokovic earns a third break point after a 24-shot rally (the longest of the match so far) has him running Murray side to side until he opens up the court for a backhand winner.
Murray saves it with the help of a big first serve and then saves a fourth break point after another punishing rally where, interestingly, Djokovic goes for a big backhand looking to end the rally. Everyone's been talking about Murray's fitness heading into this match so that was an interesting tell from Djokovic.
Murray fires down two big first serves gets the hold after saving four break points. Great effort.
On the whole, Djokovic has come out the tighter of the two but he goes full stretch and lands prone on the ground lunging for a ball after Murray wrong-foots him. Of course he won it, as Murray has to leave the whole court open after tracking down the short reply. Only Novak .
Surely that won't be the last of the GIFable points we see from him.—

4:02 a.m. ET | Djokovic leads, 3-2*.
Murray holds at love again. Hasn't lost a point on serve yet.
Djokovic misfiring more off the ground. He's already hit eight UFEs to Murray's one. Murray gets the game to deuce but Djokovic holds after a brutal rally that sees both guys play their patented brands of defense. Murray gets to the net and hits a sharp angle drop-volley but Djokovic gets to it and threads the needle down the line to hold.
Asleep? That point woke you up.
Fans up outta their seats after that point and we're only 5 games in…—

The crowd sounds pretty even as the match begins. Thank goodness. If I never have to watch another match with more awkward player-crowd dynamics than last night's women's final involving Victoria Azarenka, it'll be too soon.
Djokovic holds 1-0. Vlade applauds. Then again, he might just be flopping….—
Jon Wertheim (@jon_wertheim) January 27, 2013
Easy holds to start the match. In fact, Murray holds at love without hitting a first serve. Might see this for the next few games. These guys know better than to go big early.
Djokovic holds with an ace and heads to the chair for the changeover. Murray challenges. It was in.
Maybe owning the name "Andy" means you'll forever be bad at challenges. #reid #murray—
Shane Bacon (@shanebacon) January 27, 2013
3:44 a.m. ET | Warm-up.
In case you want to know how Murray plans to beat Djokovic tonight here's Ivan Lendl giving the game plan.
It's another cool night on Rod Laver Arena and there's already talk about the breezy conditions. Of course, Murray was the one who handled windy conditions better on his way to the U.S. Open title in September. The Murray camp says their man isn't feeling any effects from his four-hour semifinal on Friday night.
Murray really sausaged his body into his clothes this event. Another Lendl touch?—
Jon Wertheim (@jon_wertheim) January 27, 2013
I think that's Jon's way of saying Murray left his Adidas kit in the dryer for a bit too long. I guess Judy no longer does his laundry?
Murray wins the toss and elects to receive. Both men have been firing on their serves all tournament, with Murray hitting 21 aces against Federer alone. We'll see how those numbers hold up here though, as both men are two of the best returners in the game. Interesting stat raised by Darren Cahill on ESPN: Murray has never served more than 9 aces in any of his 17 matches against Djokovic, but that high of nine came last fall at the U.S. Open. He won.
Its crazy how Andy looks like his mom so much!—
Svetlana Kuznetsova (@SvetlanaK27) January 27, 2013
In the off-court battle it's Kevin Spacey vs. Vlade Divac. Love that Andre Agassi is in the crowd and will be helping with the trophy ceremony. He picked Murray before the tournament but has told BBC he's picking Novak here in the final.
No. 1 Novak Djokovic faces No. 3 Andy Murray in the Australian Open final at 3:30 a.m. ET. Join Courtney Nguyen for game-by-game analysis as Djokovic attempts to become the first man to win three straight Australian Opens and Murray tries to become the first man to follow his first Grand Slam title with his second in back-to-back Slams.
Djokovic leads the head-to-head 10-7 though they've split their last two Slam meetings, with Djokovic winning in the Australian Open semifinals last year and Murray getting revenge in the U.S. Open final in the fall. Both matches went the fill five sets and both matches almost hit the five-hour mark. Djokovic should come in well-rested after blitzing past David Ferrer in the semifinals in an hour and a half, while Murray was on court for four hours to beat Roger Federer and didn't have the benefit of Djokovic's extra day of rest.

i have a fully functional jailbroken and unlocked 3G with 3.1.2/05.11.07 (with pwnage/mac). it went off without a hitch the first time, so i've never had to tinker with the phone.
problem is over the years the UI has become so sluggish it is practically unusable.
what is the procedure for rolling back the phone to factory settings and re-jailbreaking/unlocking? would i/could i use pwnage/blacksnow or pwnage/ultrasnow? is one easier/less risky than the other?
sorry i don't know what the proper terms are...so, it makes it hard to do a search. hopefully i've explained it well enough for someone to point me to a tutorial or some more reading.
thanks in advance.

My Kingdom for a Shiny Yamask!
.... Well, not my Kingdom but how about a Shiny Event Entei that can let you unlock a Zoroark in game?
Though I do have some specifications.
The Shiny Yamask must be legit.
It has to be female.
And it must be nicknamed Nailah. (All sentimental reasons).
Bonus Points if it has a Calm, Sassy, Bold, Relaxed, or neutral nature.
Bonus points if it hasn't been trained. (Really want to EV train it)
And Bonus points if it has great IVs
If the necessities are met and it has the bonus points I'll trade my shiny Entei holding a Relic Crown which can be sold in game for 300,000.
P.M me to negotiate a trade.

Scouting the Bears
7:24 PM CST, December 13, 2012
Packers' wide receiver Randall Cobb was viewed as a creative offense weapon and a top special teams talent when he came out of Kentucky. However, the second-year pro has developed quickly into one of Aaron Rodgers' top options in the passing game this season and will be a challenge for the Bears to contain on Sunday at Soldier Field.
Using the All-22 coaches tape, here is an example of how the Packers targeted Cobb off play action against the Lions' Cover-3 defense Sunday.
The Packers have Posse personnel (three receivers, one tight end, one back) on the field in a Doubles alignment versus the Lions nickel sub package (five defensive backs) playing Cover-3 (three-deep, four-under zone). Using open (weak) side play action, Rodgers can force the strong safety to step to the line of scrimmage with the X receiver, Greg Jennings, occupying the closed (strong) side cornerback on the outside curl route. The Packers are looking to create a hole in the zone coverage for Cobb on the deep crossing route.
With Jennings forcing the cornerback to drive the curl route, and the strong safety trying to recover, Cobb can stem his route back across the field to find a soft spot in the zone. And even with the free safety driving at a downhill angle from the deep middle of the field, Cobb has enough room to make the catch.
Because of Rodgers' accuracy and arm strength, the Packers quarterback fits this ball into the throwing window to Cobb for an explosive gain. With the Bears expected to show some Cover-2 and Cover-3 looks on Sunday, reading their run/pass keys and adjusting to play action will be crucial to limiting Cobb in the Packers' playbook.

6809 Phillips Place Ct Ste F, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2821035.146581 -80.827175
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 11am - 10pm;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 11pm
PF Chang Northlake – I decided to take my husband to the northlake location for his birthday. We sat on the patio for a wonderful quiet dining experience. We had an awesome waiter with a great personality. We ordered the 4 course which was amazing until we got to the dessert. It was really a sad finale to delicious meal. You would expect so much more with a $50 bill before tip.Not a complaint; just a recommendation. I do hope they will consider an upgrade on the dessert. Overall, excellent!
Can I have some ffood with that salt – When I first had P.F. Changs in Long Island, I loved it!
The whole concept and size variations was refreshing. Years later I tried it at Phillips place and it was way too salty. If they can cut back on the salt or even have option of low salt , I would call this my favorite place. Your daily maximum intake of sodium should be less then 2000mg, you cross this limit probably with the appetizer alone.
The Best – The food is Awesome, they got tastes for everyone, people who like spicy food, vegiterians, etc. Guess what, is not a buffet and prices are a little high, but it is the cheapest in the Southpark area, and is worth it. Service is fair, sometimes you get a good server and sometimes you don't, but i always come back for the food.
Shopping Mall Chic – A lot of these reviewers tell a common tale....."Oh, the food is absolutely delicious.. I ALWAYS get the 'whatever' and the 'whichever.' You have to try it."
Any restaurant in the world probably has at least one or two decent dishes. Chinese eating should be an experiment of sampling a variety of flavors, not getting the same thing over and over and over again. This food is so Americanized, I expect to see a little American flag on a toothpick stuck in every dish.
When I go to most any restaurant, I try to order something I've never had there before. You can't eat the same thing every time and expect your review to be credible. The food at Chang's is passable-tasting and over-priced.
5 Stars – I would recommend Changs to anyone.
It is a very beautiful restaurant in the heart of Phillips Place, with great food and superior service.
I visit Changs several times a year with my family and friends. It's perfect for a birthday get-togethers, family dinners, girls night out, etc.
I always get the Calamari or the Lettuce Wraps to start off.
Their calamari==amazing. this is a sure thing.
For a nice healthy refreshing app. I would suggest the wraps.
I have been to the bar a couple times with friends and the bartenders are fabulous!!! Very friendly and are on top of things.
The dessert shooters are to die for. You really can't go wrong with any of them. All of them are delicious and not too big not too small.
It is an upscale place but the prices are reasonable. :)
If you haven't been to Changs before....GO! You won't regret it
Perfect. – The food is excellent. Served quick and hot. If your complaining about the food, you had the wrong server. Make sure you ask for Ben. We did have to wait a long time to be seated which was really frustrating when you can see open tables and they remain open through out your meal. Hope they were saving that seat for someone who paid that server a fat tip. Anywho, the wait is always worth it. Ben waited on us the first time and it was amazing, the whole experience. Excellent service, excellent recommendations, excellent personality, excellent pace; he should be running the show. The last time, Lisa waited on us. Not a good server, but I can look past that once or twice, especially once I get the food. She was overbearing and very pushy to the point of annoyance and I couldn't enjoy my food. Also, haven't you ever heard of silent service? I mean, if your going to interrupt a conversation, please excuse your self, that is how we act in the South. We just ignored her after awhile. The background music is most appropriate and I didn't have to hear other tables conversations. Oh, and be sure to get desert - the shot glass sizes are perfect if you want desert, but your already stuffed! I can't wait to go back a third time, with reservations and I'll make sure to ask for Ben!
I didn't give them 5 stars because of the last service we received there, from Lisa, which is and was disappointing, but we will go back and I can't wait!
AMAZING spring wraps – The spring wraps were the best thing I have ever had at a chinese bistro. Perfectly delectible. Will go back soon!
Delicious – I recently took my wife to the P F Changs on Phillips Place, we are new to the area and wanted chinese food. Thanks to 'urban spoon' and my nifty iPhone the decision was made instantaneously. The service and food here was exceptional, only advice is to make reservations for the weekend!!!
HORRIBLE FOOD,NEVER EVER EAT AT THIS PLACE!! – If you wanna waste money and your time,then this place is absolutely appropriate.
Service was horrible and food quantity & quality both very poor with no taste at all.Dessert was overpriced ,and they were in display ,with no price tags on them.Once you get a check,then you'd realize the price of the dessert.
We ordered Five spiced Tofu & Buddhas Feast, and there were very few pieces of Tofu in it and all there was brocolli and sauce.
We've been to lot of Chinese restaurants,and this was the worst of all.
I'd never ever visit this place in my lifetime again.
This gussied-up chain bustles with singles and families craving Chinese food favorites. – In Short
Towering twin stallions and carved wood screens add majesty and mystery to this stylish restaurant, where well-dressed patrons sip martinis at the bar and families with children feast around large tables or in spacious booths. The menu gives Chinese classics a contemporary tweak; dishes are artfully presented, with many sauces made tableside by servers. Signature plates include diced chicken wrapped in cool lettuce leaves, orange-peel beef with chili peppers, and wok-fried scallops with lemon sauce.

|Sticky Tag:
Committed patches by Gerd Moellmann to eliminate PCL's without-interrupts in favour of either system:without-interrupts (for non-MP versions), and a lock-based approach for MP versions. Note that the latter is a bit experimental, see the comments in the code for details.
Patch from Gerd Moellmann to modify more simple-program-error sites to use the new simple-program-error function.
Huge patch by Gerd Moellmann that removes PCL::ITERATE and PCL::GATHER* in favor of normal CL constructs. In a similar vein to SBCL, this patch also replaces all uses of #'(lambda ...) by just (lambda ...), and removes now-dated looking quotes in front of self-evaluating objects, like keywords and t/nil. The patch has been slightly frobbed by me, to correct a couple of slight oversights, and make more effective use of the loop facility in a number of places.
Patch from Gerd Moellmann to bring error detection of defclass in line with ANSI requirements: o If there are any duplicate slot names, an error of type program-error is signaled. o If an initialization argument name appears more than once in :default-initargs class option, an error of type program-error is signaled. o If any of the following slot options appears more than once in a single slot description, an error of type program-error is signaled: :allocation, :initform, :type, :documentation.
This fixes a bug noted by Nicolas Neuss, where executing a defclass form with a metaclass of structure-class would result in the generation of recursive print-object methods, so that the printing of instances of such a class would result in an endless loop. The bug was caused by the changes that made structure-printing ANSI compliant. Removing a now redundant :print-function option to the automatically generated defstruct form cured the problem.
Make change-class ANSI-compliant, by allowing the passing of initargs. This fix is thanks to Espen S. Johnsen, who noted that update-instance-for-different-class already supported the passing of initargs, so that the fix is only to make change-class accept initargs, and pass them along to u-i-f-d-c. Also fixes a probably undetected bug in change-class with a lisp::class second argument (bogus apply in env.lisp).
Fixed AMOP conformance bug of ensure-class-using-class reported by Hannu Koivisto: ensure-class-using-class shouldn't default unsupplied :direct-superclasses or :direct-slots arguments in its calls to make-instance and reinitialize-instance. Code audit showed that only coerce-to-class relied on the old behaviour. This was necessary because the initialization code for std-class didn't default an unsupplied value for :direct-superclasses correctly, producing a class with no direct superclasses, contrary to the AMOP. Fixed this as well.
From Pierre Mai: o All the stuff from cmu-low.lisp has been merged into low.lisp. o Therefore cmu-low.lisp has been removed completely. o All the stuff in low.lisp which either wasn't used in current PCL or was unnecessary in CMU CL, or which was implemented as no-ops for CMU CL has been removed. o Calls in other files to functions which were dropped have been removed. o Source order reorganised a bit and added several comments and doc-strings. o Made `*optimize-speed*' consistent for small and non-small cores, and fixed ordering problem. o Added `*compile-lambda-silent-p*' which when true (the default) will cause compile-lambda to be silent when compiling PCL-generated code.
These changes remove some obsolete and unused type system interface codes, and introduces code to "inform-type-system-about-std-class". The effect of this new code is to put minimal class definitions into the compile-time environment to prevent undefined-type warnings. These definitions are replaced with the correct class defs at load-time.
Remove all #+ and #- conditionals from the source code. What is left is essentially Common Lisp except for explicit references to things in CMUCL specific packages.
Further cleanup of the code now that the :SETF feature is assumed standard.
Cleanup of the PCL directory. Removed files and conditional code for long dead lisp implementations. Some parts of the code is now a bit easier to read and (hopefully) understand.
Modifies EXPAND-DEFCLASS to substitute pcl::standard-class for lisp:standard-class in the superclass list given to defclass. This is consistent with the treatment given the :metaclass option argument. std-class.lisp is restored to its original state wiping out all traces of bogus change introduced in revision 1.19.
Backout previous change to ensure-class-values. There is more to this bug than previously thought.
Fix ENSURE-CLASS-VALUES so that (defclass myclass(standard-class)()) works the same as (defclass myclass()()). Had to map LISP:STANDARD-CLASS to PCL::STANDARD-CLASS when the former was explicitly provided.
Add CMUCL style file-comments; from Peter Van Eynde.
When initialising class metaobjects and the direct-superclasses is null or empty, it should default to funcallable-standard-object if the class is an instance of funcallable-standard-class whereas it was always defaulting to standard-class. Catch attempts to change the class of an instance via change-class between the incompatible standard-class and funcallable-standard-class metaclasses.
Since funcallable-standard-objects are now disjoint from standard-objects, classes with meta-class standard-class are no longer valid super-classes of classes with meta-class funcallable-standard-class, so validate-superclass should now return NIL for this combination. Further classes with meta-class std-class are now valid superclasses of classes with meta-class of either standard-class or funcallable-standard-class; add validate-superclass methods allowing such super-classes which are handy for mixins of both standard-objects and funcallable-standard-objects.
Rework the PCL class hierarchy to better match the disjoint instance and funcallable-instance types within CMUCL. Add the new class funcallable-standard-object, and the new class std-object as a superclass of both standard-object and funcallable-standard-object. Generic-functions are now funcallable-standard-objects implemented as FINs and disjoint from standard-objects which are implemented as instances in CMUCL, fixing some problems in the type system. This change moves the PCL implementation away from the MOP specification which requires that generic-functions be standard-objects. However ANSI CL does not require generic functions to be standard-objects and the MOP author Gregor Kiczales suggests it is appropriate for generic functions to be disjoint from standard-objects.
Gray streams support: * Rename the 'stream structure class to sys:lisp-stream. * Add a new none hierarchical 'stream built-in class which inherits from: instance, t. * Hack in the new stream class as a mixin for the structure base lisp-stream class which now inherits from: stream, structure-object, instance, t. * Add a new 'fundamental-stream standard-class which includes 'stream as a mixin, and add PCL hacks to allow this to be redefined after PCL is loaded to be (defclass fundamental-stream (standard-object stream) ...). * Add appropriate support to the base stream functions to dispatch to the Gray stream functions for the handling of fundamental-streams. Some of the lisp-streams encapsulating CLOS streams still need a little work.
Within update-cpl, setup the class precedence list before of the class before calling force-cache-flushes as this in turn calls update-lisp-class-layout which need the cpl to correctly setup the layout inherits.
This set of changes enables the use of forward referenced classes in PCL. The problem was(is) that the wrapper object needed to connect the Lisp type system to PCL classes doesn't exist until the forward-referenced-class is defined. At that time all the subclasses of it are initialized and wrappers attached. In the meantime, the actual forward referenced class is an instance of pcl::forward-referenced-class and any subclasses are pcl class instances with most slots nil. The fix herein arranges for UPDATE-LISP-CLASS-LAYOUT to also set the lisp:class-name and use (setf lisp:find-class) to connect the new layout to the Lisp class system. An undesired consequence of this is that DEFCLASS can't return a valid class object unless all superclasses are defined. This shouldn't be a real problem as the classes can't be used in the intermediate state, but the HyperSpec says DEFCLASS returns a class object. We return a valid class object or NIL.
Re-define the documentation function according to the ANSI CL spec.; the doc-type argument is no longer optional.
Stop the documentation function calling the lisp::documentation function; causes a loop.
This commit brings the PCL repository up to release 17f and also includes the changes in the X86 1.03.7 kit. Although the 1.03.7 changes were already in the repository, the other files appear to be of early vintage and do not work with a 17f system. Hopefully all is correctly synched now.
Changed the definition of force-cache-flushes by removing unnecessary call to update-constructors, as suggested by Richard Harris.
September-16-92-PCL-e has been incorporated into the CMUCL sources thanks to Rick Harris.
This is September 92 PCL.
This is July 92 PCL
This is March-92-PCL-2a.

We ordered this bed at the weekend and it was delivered on the Wednesday! The email communications with the delivery company was very good and we were given a three hour expected time slot, which they kept to. The bed frame itself is good quality and well made, and feels more expensive than it was. I managed to put it together myself although the instructions were very brief. For the price, quality and service, I would recommend wedobeds.

Wooden beds are a great addition to any bedroom. Along with leather and metal bedsteads, wood is a popular material that can match almost any interior décor depending on the finish and the style you choose.
If you are shopping for a wooden bed but are not quite sure where to start we put together this handy buyer's guide to help you decide which options will best suit your needs.
Beds made from wood are an affordable option but the price will mostly depend on the type and the quantity of materials used in their construction. Less expensive bed frames are generally made from lighter shades, such as pine, while beds featuring a wider array of colours will cost a bit more.
Those beds are also very durable and last for many years. They don't need special care and will naturally mellow over time which will offer other possibilities of style to work with.
Wooden beds come in a variety of different finishes from painted and lacquered through to gloss and natural. Whether you want to create a rustic, contemporary or a clean modern look for your bedroom, there are plenty of wood species and different wood finishes to choose from.
Oak bed frame
Oak is well known for its hardness and strength and looks denser compared to pine wood. This hardwood bed made from oak has a heavy and open grain that gives an attractive look to furniture
Pine bed frame
The beauty of pine lies in its natural blemishes that make each piece of furniture unique. Wooden bed frames made from pine are beautiful left unfinished but also look great when lacquered or slightly painted with light shades of colour.
Painted bed frame
A painted bed frame will create a more contemporary look for your room. Some wooden beds come in a variety of different bright colours which make them a great option to furnish a kid's room.
Wooden beds are available in a wide choice of different types from platform beds, children's bunk beds to guest beds.
Poster Bed
A four poster bed in wood will bring elegance and luxury to your bedroom. This kind of bed is specifically designed to enclosed the bed and serve both practical and decorative purposes.
Guest bed
A guest bed in wood is an affordable way to save a lot of space as it can easily slide under most single beds. This kind of bed comes in many different shapes and styles to suit any bedroom configuration
Bunk bed
A wooden bunk is an excellent space saving solution and can be separated to form two beds. This kind of bed is ideal for two children sharing a bedroom or for when they have a guest for a sleepover.
A wooden bed will generally come with a slatted base to hold the mattress. This type of base is usually made out of hardwood to create a solid surface for the mattress and provide a firmer feel to the bed. But most manufacturers are now using flexible sprung slatted bases since they give extra comfort. This type of base used a solid curved wooden beam running up to the centre of the bed to help reduce slat breakage and adjust to the mattress better.
Under bed drawers are a great way to expand your storage space without having to invest in new furniture but if you need additional storage there are also types of beds entirely designed for this purpose, such as ottoman beds and cabin beds.
Ottoman Bed
The entire base of wooden ottoman bed is a dedicated space for storage, which gives plenty of room to store bed linen.
Cabin Bed
A wooden cabin bed will be appropriate for a kid. Designed with either cupboards or shelves in the middle base, a cabin bed ensures you have plenty storage space without taking up any more room.
At Wedo-Beds we store wooden beds in a wide range of styles and our products are available in a wide range of sizes so that whether you are looking for a single wooden cabin bed for your kid or a king size bed for yourself you can be sure we have the one that will suit your needs.
