Our portable risers are easy to set up and put away. Their budget-friendly prices and durable construction make them an excellent choice for any school or church. Great stage risers can make an amateur choir feel like the professionals and demonstrate your institution's high regard for performance and music.
Which choral risers are easiest to set up?
When your chorus or band gives a performance, you don't want to waste time worrying about the choral risers. All of our portable risers can be set up and cleared away very quickly, so they won't take up too much time or effort. Transport Folding Risers from National Public Seating have an exceptionally convenient design. They fold up compactly in one piece and roll away easily on built-in wheels. This means you can get the into place easily and save space in storage.
Even if your choir risers don't have built-in wheels, you can still move them easily. If you don't want to drag, carry or roll risers into storage individually, we have an excellent solution. Riser caddies accommodate multiple units so you can easily transport an entire set or configuration into and out of storage. This convenient arrangement saves both time and manpower so you can get your performances going quickly.
What kind of portable risers should I get?
Portable risers come in individual units, multiple-levels or complete sets. We offer both tapered and straight-edge choral risers. Tapered risers can be arranged in a curved formation. A U-shaped formation allows singers to easily hear each other so harmonies will stay in time, and a blended sound is achieved. This is a great setup for church choir stage risers. Pie-shaped configurations are available as well. This option keeps the audience's eyes trained toward the center.
The ideal height, width and length of your risers depends on what you are using them for. Band risers are wider than choral risers because they are meant for seated performers. For a small ensemble, you may choose to just have one raised level, while you may prefer up to four staggered levels for a full chorus. The length of your risers determines how many performers can sit or stand on them. If you need more space, many of our risers have built-in ganging so you can easily attach them to additional units to accommodate more musicians.
How can make sure no one falls off of the risers?
You want to make sure that your stage risers are safe, especially if they are being used to promote music in an educational environment. Some of our models include back guard rails to ensure that the performers in the back row remain balanced and will not accidentally fall off. We also offer optional back and side rails for many models which can be ordered separately according to the arrangement that you choose. When musicians feel secure and protected, they can focus on the performance rather than worrying about accidents or injuries.
We have choral risers with two different choices of platform materials. You can choose from a number of carpeted or hardboard options. Carpeting is great for musical performances because it muffles the sound of shuffling feet and moving chairs. It is available in a number of elegant hues that can be coordinated to the colors of your auditorium, social hall, chapel or gymnasium.
Hertz Furniture has great choir risers for any performance space. Our models come from top quality manufacturers including National Public Seating and Midwest Folding Products. This large and varied selection offers you a number of excellent options that will showcase your musicians in style. For assistance in determining the right choir riser arrangement for your purposes, contact the Hertz Design Center.

When you buy from Hertz Furniture, you don't need to compromise on ideals or preferences. You get great warranties, quality and designs all with the additional benefits American made products. With everything from office desks to school chairs conveniently organized on this one Made in USA page, you can definitely afford to buy American.
There are lots of reasons to look for school furniture that is made in the USA. If we want to teach our students to be patriotic, we need to demonstrate our own patriotism in the classroom. By furnishing a learning space with American made school desks, student chairs and bookcases, we send a message to children that we are proud of our country and our home-grown goods. They will understand that there are many reasons to be proud to be an American.
When you go shopping for furniture made in the USA, make sure to really check the label before purchasing anything. While some companies might claim that they are only using American labor, it is possible that certain steps in the assembly process are happening overseas, or that international parts are being used with the assembly process in America. It is important to demonstrate to manufacturers, the American public and the world that it does make a difference to consumers when they have furniture made in America.
There are tons of benefits to purchasing made in USA furniture. First of all, America has very strict standards regarding pollution in product production. When you buy American, you help keep a cleaner environment for the future of our children. When you purchase products without looking for the made in USA label, you don't know what they might contain or what kinds of conditions they were made under. Products from overseas might have been made under substandard working conditions, in factories which are causing tons of air pollution or using child labor.
American labor standards and worker conditions ensure that your office furniture is only produced under acceptable conditions. Made in the USA products have been manufactured through processes which take into account the safety of the workers, the quality of the products and the impact on the environment. When you buy American, you celebrate our country's independence and promote a self-sufficient economy.
When you buy domestically-produced furniture, you can feel good about your purchase. It's great to know that it was made under particular conditions, in compliance with strict standards. You also know who made it. The production of American made furniture creates jobs for our country's citizens. It is always important to support the American labor force, and buying furniture made in the USA is a mutually-beneficial way to do so.
At Hertz Furniture, we know what is important to the American consumer. With our wide array of American made furniture, you can be patriotic and still rely on the quality, style and reliability you have come to expect from Hertz Furniture. So next time you are looking for furniture made in the USA, you can simply come to this page to buy American. Need help choosing which great models will fit best in your space?

text: NUMBER 112. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. OCTOBER, 1900. (Thirty-second Year.) ATLANTA UNIVERSITY. The higher education of carefully selected Negro young men and women, in both academic and industrial lines, is emphasized by this Institution as necessary for the elementary and industrial training of the masses. "Men of light and leading" in other spheres of activity are also greatly needed by the race that has so long sat in darkness. Earnestly Christian, as required by its charter, yet entirely unsectarian, the Institution is controlled solely by its own board of trustees, on which several denominations are represented. Some 300 students are enrolled under 27 officers and teachers. From the college and normal courses 382 graduates ¦ have been sent out, nearly all of whom have readily found permanent employment in teaching or other useful occupations. Situated only about seventy miles from the centre of the Negro population of the country, in one" of the largest Southern cities, and at the railroad centre of the South, its location is of strategic importance for promoting the educational advancement of the South. Its plant includes sixty-five acres of land, five large brick buildings, library of 11,000 volumes, apparatus and other' equipment worth not less than $250,000. With practically no endowment with no aid from public or denominational funds, receiving about one-fourth of its support from its own students', the Institution appeals, for an endowment of $500,000, and, until that is secured, for $25,000 annually to meet current expenses. Gifts of any amount are welcome, but special appeal is made for subscriptions of $100 and upwards, and for $40 scholarships. Remittances may be addressed to Pres. Horace Bums lead, D.

The English is Coming!
How One Language is Sweeping the World
Through the fascinating stories of thirty English words used and understood in nearly all corners of the globe, The English Is Coming! takes readers on an eye-opening journey across culture and commerce, war and peace, and time and space. These mini-histories shed new light on everyday words: the strange turns of fate by which their meanings evolved and their new roles as the building blocks of the first language ever to forge a global community.
Exploring such familiar terms as shampoo (from a Hindi word for scalp and body hygiene long practiced in India); robot (coined by Czech painter Josef Capek for his brother Karel's 1921 play about man-made creatures); credit (rooted in a prehistoric phrase of sacred significance: "to put heart into"); and dozens of others, Dunton-Downer reveals with clarity and humor how these linguistic artifacts embody the resilience, appeal, adoptability, and wild inclusiveness that English, through a series of historical accidents, gained on its road to worldwide reach. These words explain not only how English has managed to link our distant and often disparate pasts but also how it is propelling humankind to a future that we can, for the first time, talk about and shape in a language that now belongs to all of us: Global English.
Perfect for culture buffs, armchair travelers, and language lovers alike, The English Is Coming! is sure to inspire truly global conversations for decades to come.

Magic Glasses
Word-loving people seem to know who they are early in life. They're the kids who find dictionaries at least as absorbing as children's books. And instead of asking parents or teachers why the sky is blue, they ask why the sky is called blue.
Where I spent my first years, in Santa Cruz, California, the most alluring language was to be found in the colorful compound words that cropped up everywhere. At school, there were earthquake drills and field trips, say, to a classmate's family strawberry farm. Our house sat in a redwood forest populated by... see more

For our final In A Field Of Their Own Q&A with the folks from Glastonbury's various venues and stages, we hear from Dick Tee, the Production Manager for the Pyramid and Other Stages.
1. How would you describe your area of the Festival to someone who hasn't visited it before?
The Pyramid, Other Stage and Interstage is the 'physical centre' of the Festival but not the 'heart' of the Festival. It is the highest profile area of the Festival, but does not have the same atmosphere and 'Festival feel' that the other areas enjoy. It is more 'mainstream' - less 'pure Glastonbury'. The 2 largest stages - Pyramid and Other Stage are where the highest profile acts will give their greatest performances.
2. Have you made any changes/additions for this year?
There are no significant changes to the layout or facilities in these areas this year
3. Which of your acts are you most excited about in 2011?
So much to choose from - U2 is obviously going to be a amazing show and will bring back so many memories from my past and more 'youthful days'. But Coldplay are a huge Act and Beyonce is sure to give a truly 'exciting' performance. Then one cannot forget Paul Simon - a true 'legend', The Chemical Brothers and their fantastic music and stage shows, up coming Jessie J, Mumford and Sons, Plan B and even Fisherman's Friends - there really is something for everyone covering all musical tastes and genres
4. Do you have any good food recommendations in and around your area?
Not really.
5. How/when did you first get involved with the Festival?
I first become involved with Michael Eavis when I was asked to handle the Production Management of the Glastonbury Abbey Extravaganza with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra back in 1996. The following year I took over the Pyramid and Other Stage at the main festival. Now I am responsible for the Production of The Pyramid and The Other Stage and I supervise West Holts and the John Peel Stage as well. I still manage the Abbey Extravaganza in August and now look after the Pilton Party in September as well - so Glastonbury Festivals Ltd keeps me and my team pretty busy...
6. What's the best thing about running an area at Glastonbury?
The huge thrill and high that you get from seeing a sea of smiling faces and waving hands when you look out from the stage into the crowd.
7. And what's the worst?
It is a huge pressure and massive responsibility that takes over your life - in my case for 3 or 4 months of each year. In that time I am pretty much an 'insomniac' and it can be very demanding on the patience and understanding of my dear wife, family & friends.
8. Is there anything outside your area at this year's Festival that you're particularly looking forward to?
I think the Spirit of '71 Stage will be amazing and some of the big features like Cubehenge are 'must see's'.
9. What's the best performance you've ever seen at Glastonbury?
David Bowie at the Pyramid - I was a massive fan in my younger years and it was something very special to see him perform on one of my stages.
10. Finally, what's your top Glastonbury tip for people coming to the Festival for the first time?
Spend some time looking at the website before you arrive and study the various guides etc., so you can plan your time to make sure you don't miss out on the acts and attractions that you want to see. The Festival is so huge that whilst it is good to be spontaneous, and indeed there are some amazing performances that you will just 'happen upon', it is a good idea to have a 'game plan' to make sure you get the best out of it and are not disappointed by missing something truly 'special'.

The Forest Spirits are busy in the spring watching over the newborn animals and tree seedlings. In the summer the Forest Spirit is busy with the growing animals and the forest filled with growing plants. The Forest Spirits are busy in the autumn, collecting treasures and supplies to make it through the cold winter. With her wand, she touches the leaves, magically turning them yellow, and golden, and red before they fall to the forest floor.
This handmade Wool Felt Crown has a Velcro closure and silk-like leaves and adornments. The Wand is made of similar materials and is sturdy, yet magical with its ribbons flowing to and fro. Enjoyed by girl and boy Forest Spirits!
Handmade in USA.

In which direction was your rotation?
I ran this puzzle in the LibertyBASIC Booster compiler, with the following times:
Hi hammana,
Hi hammana,
What compiler did you use? The only one I found that is specifically for LB is GLBCC - program and docs at lbpp.sourceforge.net/ - but I can't get it to work on my computer (Windows XP).
Hi phrontister
Hi phrontister;
Hi Bobby,
Hi phrontister;
Hi hammana,
Ask around someone will provide you with a lot of help.
I will see if the my school has Mathematica or any other useful math package.
Last time I saw it at 49 bucks american. But the prices change and may be different elsewhere. Your professor should know more about it than I do. Most college kids get it for nothing at school and then sort of take it home with them.
How much is it for students?
149 dollars back then. It is much cheaper now, especially for students.
How much did it cost?
Yes, I have it.

text: This recipe was very easy and definitely a unique concept, but the taste was poor. The vinegar overwhelms the flavor of the rest of the ingredients, and I feel that the oven tempature needs to be adjusted -- 450 was too high and burned the some of the tips of the cauliflower. If I made this again I would omit the vinegar or use a tablespoon of sherry instead, lower the oven temp and use a little less marjoram or substitute some of the majoram for paprika or perhaps thyme.

Unlike plastic pet fountains that develop cracks, this 72-oz. drinking fountain is made from durable, nonporous glazed ceramic that mitigates bacteria growth. Ceramic resists bacteria (commonly found on porous plastic surfaces) that cause acne on a pet's mouth and chin. The ceramic drinking fountain is dishwasher-safe, enabling simple, thorough cleaning. The fountain has an integrated pump that draws water from the basin to the top of the dome where it pools and cascades back into the 2 1/4" H reservoir. The falling stream attracts pets with the sound of trickling water and entices them to drink more often--a practice that can reduce the pet's risk of kidney disease and urinary tract infection. A charcoal filter removes impurities responsible for unpleasant tastes and odors in water. Filter lasts up to 30 days. Plugs into AC. 14" L x 11 1/2" W x 6 1/4" H. (7 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The 72-Ounce Ceramic Pet Fountain comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee at no additional charge.

In a discussion of the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac the Washington Post noted that the government had committed $125 billion to cover their losses. While the article reports that these losses have been a major political issue, it would have been useful to point out that the losses were, in effect, subsidies to banks.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy mortgages in the secondary market. If they lose money it means that they paid banks more for these mortgages than they were worth. This overpayment is effectively a subsidy to banks who otherwise would have been left holding the mortgages on their books and likely would have incurred losses when they went bad.
The NYT reports that opponents of a measure that would save money by putting private lenders out of the government guaranteed student loan business warn that it could cost jobs. This is of course true.
Suppose there is an efficient computer company that sells computers for $500 each and an inefficient computer company that sell comparable computers for $1,000 each. It is likely that the inefficient computer company employs more workers for each computer produced than the efficient manufacturer. Therefore switching orders from the less efficient company to the more efficient company would cost jobs.
Anyone seriously interested in controlling health care costs would be actively discussing alternatives to patent protection for financing the development of prescription drugs and medical equipment. Everyone who has taken even an intro economics class knows that there will be horrible waste and corruption when goods can sell for hundreds of times their competitive market price, as can be the case with prescription drugs and medical equipment. Those interested in controlling costs would also be actively seeking to promote international trade in medical services since the health care systems in other countries are so much more efficient than the U.S. system.
The NYT reports that the Fed is debating whether much of current unemployment is due to a skills mismatch between workers and the available jobs as opposed to simply a cyclical shortfall in demand. It is worth noting that the assertion of skills mismatch is a predictable behavior of economists in policy positions in every recession. There were many papers arguing exactly this story after the last downturn as the economy continued to shed jobs for almost two years after the recession ended.
--Dean Baker
Morning Edition introduced an interview with George Soros by saying that the United States is still recovering from a financial meltdown. This is wrong. The reason that we have near double-digit unemployment is that we had an $8 trillion housing bubble that collapsed. The financial crisis was secondary.
This is best demonstrated by countries like Spain. Even though it has a relatively well-regulated financial system, and therefore did not have a financial crisis, its unemployment rate is 19 percent. Spain's problem was that it had a horrific housing bubble. It is not easy for an economy to recover from the distortions created by such asset bubbles.
NPR missed the bubble as it grew. It apparently still does not recognize what has happened to the economy.
The NYT reported that China and India both signed an agreement to limit their greenhouse gas emissions. The article cites unnamed analysts who complained that the new commitment by China and India falls short of the terms of the agreement.
Yep, the good news according to the headline of the USA Today article is that the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that job openings in January were at their highest level since last February of 2009. That would be the month when the economy lost 726,000 jobs.
The numbers are going in the right direction -- it's good to see the number of job openings increase. And the number of layoffs and discharges fell to 1,890,000, the lowest level since April of 2008, a month when the economy shed 149,000 jobs. But we still have a long way to go before we are going to see healthy job growth. These numbers must be put in context.
Those who favor affirmative action for people with no discernible skills undoubtedly appreciate Dana Milbank's page 2 column in the Washington Post. Today Mr. Milbank used his column to tell the world that he knows absolutely nothing about economics.
The theme of the piece was that in ten years the United States will be like Greece. He discusses the trip to the United States of Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou seeking support for his country during its current fiscal crisis and tells readers: "if current trends persist, an American president will be doing the same thing in about 10 years."
In an article about the increasing number of people receiving long-term unemployment benefits the Post told readers that to have a labor force suited for the jobs of the future: "the Obama administration has tried to address that by investing heavily in education, clean energy and scientific research."
Actually, the Obama administration's investments in education almost certainly don't even offset the state and local cuts in spending forced by the recession. Its heavy investment in clean energy and scientific research is dwarfed by its spending on the war in Afghanistan.
There is a line being pushed by some on the right (e.g. David Brooks today) that small businesses are putting off hiring because of uncertainty over the costs they may face from health care reform, global warming restrictions, or other tax and regulatory changes.
It is understandable that small businesses would be reluctant to commit themselves to having another employee on the payroll if we were in a country like Italy or Spain where permanent employees have a substantial degree of employment protection. Employers in these countries (and most other wealthy countries) cannot simply lay off workers any time they choose.
I was one of the economists who thought the February jobs report was relatively good given the weather. Still, that was only compared with an expectation of a very bad report. The WSJ went a bit overboard with a headline: "Outlook Brightens for Jobless."
Robert Samuelson argues that they will. Samuelson apparently believes that people's standard of living is determined only by their tax bill. According to Samuelson's world view, Bill Gates is much worse off than the typical middle class family because he pays so much more in taxes.
Of course in real world land, well-being is determined by after-tax income. The greater sum that Bill Gates pays in taxes is trivial compared to his enormous income.
The NYT has a piece discussing efforts by Ford and GM to improve their quality. There is a chart accompanying the article showing the trend in complaints for the three automakers over the last decade. It shows a sharp drop in complaints by model year for both Ford and GM, while the numbers for Toyota remain almost flat.
The picture is somewhat distorted since it doesn't take account of sales. GM and Fords sales both fell by roughly one-third over this period, while Toyota's doubled. This means that Toyota also saw a sharp fall in complaints per vehicle, while the declines on a per vehicle basis for Ford and GM are not as steep as indicated by the graph.
The NYT's piece on Iceland's referendum on using public money to pay debts to foreign bank depositors failed to explain the real issues involved. During the boom, several Icelandic banks courted deposits outside the country, mostly in the UK and the Netherlands, by offering higher interest rates. The banks then used these deposits to finance a range of highly speculative investments.
Just about every member of Congress supports protecting one or more domestic industries from foreign competition. For example, no member has publicly endorsed opening up our health care system to greater international competition.
Therefore, describing a member of Congress as "anti-free trade" is misleading since the description would apply to every member of Congress. In describing Representative Sander Levin, the interim chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, as "anti-free trade," the Post just means that he is opposed to trade measures that it supports.
Two vacant slots offer progressives the opportunity to ensure the Board finally cracks down on Wall Street.
Almost nowhere else is there such a tight link between class and opinions about cutting government.
For the GOP, there's no real benefit in admitting Obamacare is working.
During the past 20 years, immigrants and young people have transformed the demographics of urban America. Now, they're transforming its politics and mapping the future of liberalism.
In 1994, University of Michigan rejected Jennifer Gratz, setting in motion the overturning of University of Michigan's affirmative action admissions policy. Now she's challenging a black student who's protesting her own rejection.
From "reverse redlining" to selling out a pregnant teenager to her parents, the advance of technology could render obsolete our landmark civil-rights and anti-discrimination laws.
