The Columbus Crew and Houston Dynamo renew acquaintances when the two Eastern Conference clubs meet for the first time this season at Crew Stadium on Saturday evening. The Crew are coming off an undefeated two-game road swing, following a 2-2 draw in New York, then advanced in the U.S. Open Cup following a midweek victory. The Dynamo ended a two-game losing slide with a 1-1 draw at Sporting KC last weekend, then also advanced in the Open Cup with a midweek home victory.

- FUTURE MATCH: 8/3: Houston Dynamo vs. Columbus Crew, 8 p.m. CT; 9/4: Columbus Crew vs. Houston Dynamo, 7:30 p.m. CT
- The Crew have an eight-game unbeaten streak alive against the Dynamo, over the last four seasons, with three wins and five draws in that time. Houston's last victory in the series came Aug. 2, 2008.
- The teams have played to three consecutive 2-2 draws, including both meetings a year ago.
- The Crew have come away with points on four consecutive trips to Houston, and six of seven visits there alltime. The Dynamo's only home win in the series was their last win vs. Columbus, in 2008.
- Coaches record: Robert Warzycha vs. HOU: P8 W3 L0 T5 … Dominic Kinnear vs. CLB: P18 W4 L6 T8
The Houston Dynamo saw their winless run reach three games, Sporting Kansas City coming back for a 1-1 draw on Sunday afternoon at Sporting Park. The Dynamo are in fourth place in the Eastern Conference with 21 points from 13 matches.
- A key talking point came in the 38th minute. Brad Davis went down under a challenge from Oriol Rosell, and referee Drew Fischer immediately pointed to the spot. But after protests from Sporting's players, Fischer conferred with assistant referee Kevin Duliba and waved off the penalty ruling.
- The Dynamo took the lead in the first minute of stoppage time. Giles Barnes flicked the ball on forward to Will Bruin, who took it with his back to the defense and worked free before slotting a quick through ball to Brad Davis for a finish inside goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen's near post.
- Sporting drew even in the 68th minute. After Jacob Peterson got a touch on Oriol Rosell's through ball, Claudio Bieler's square pass found Kei Kamara just outside the area after a dummy and he slotted into the lower right corner for the equalizer.
- Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made two changes to the team that dropped a 2-0 decision to the New England Revolution at BBVA Compass Stadium. Eric Brunner and Adam Moffat came into the team for Jermaine Taylor and Bobby Boswell.
- HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-1-3-2): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Ricardo Clark, Eric Brunner, Corey Ashe (Mike Chabala 46) - Adam Moffat - Andrew Driver, Brad Davis (Jason Johnson 87), Boniek Garcia - Giles Barnes (Warren Creavalle 81), Will Bruin.
- While the Dynamo saw their winless run extended to three games, they were able to go on the road and put an end to a two-game losing slide.
- "You look at the whole 90-minute team effort and the way we played … that's one of our better performances," goalkeeper Tally Hall said. "It's not a win but we look at the performance and say 'OK, we're back on the right track.' You've got to man up, play as a team and play well and I thought we did that today."
- It was a completely new central defense partnership. Jermaine Taylor was out with a shoulder injury after being forced to come off after just 10 minutes in the New England game, and Bobby Boswell was serving the first game of his two-match suspension.
- Ricardo Clark shifted from a central midfield role back into central defense, and Eric Brunner made his third league start of the season.
- "We had some guys in different positions, but everyone came together. It shouldn't surprise anyone that just because we don't have everyone available in the lineup that we're going to change the way we play," said Hall. "I think the guys that came in played excellent, and that depth and team mentality is why we're one of the better teams in the league."
- But there was another injury blow to the back line when left back Corey Ashe had to come off at halftime with a groin injury.
- "I thought defensively we were pretty strong," head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "I thought as a new back four and being together for 90 minutes and then even for 45 minutes, I thought they held up well."
- Brad Davis scored his third goal of the season, his first since April 14, and Will Bruin recorded his fourth assist to go with four goals on the year.
- "After last week's game against New England, we wanted to come here and get back to the ways we're used to playing. We came out ready to play and put together a good performance," said Davis. "I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more from it, but also happy at the way we played."
- On Wednesday, the Dynamo won a U.S. Open Cup match for the first time since 2010, reaching the fourth round following a 2-0 win against FC Tucson of the PDL. Alex Dixon put the Dynamo on their way with a 26thminute goal and Giles Barnes sealed it with a late free kick goal.

My personal history with operating systems other than MS-DOS and Windows – with which I grew up – begins with Mandrake Linux and BeOS. I've never visited the world of Amiga, so I never formed the kind of personal connection with it that is so prevalent on many of the Amiga websites and forums out there. The connection Amigans have with their platform is what I have with the BeOS. I understand them. You can't put it into words, really. Without making it sound silly anyway.
This review, which covers both the hardware as well as the software, won't be about if the AmigaOS4 can hold its stand against Mac OS X, Windows 7, or Ubuntu – it will be about what it feels like to use an Amiga, if it successfully manages to bring aspects of modern computing to the Amiga platform. I'll first detail – in short – the tumultuous history of the Amiga, followed by a look at the hardware from ACube. I'll then dive into every day usage of AmigaOS 4.1, followed by a more philosophical view of the platform. I won't be able to touch on all aspects of the Amiga, but I'll try to cover everything that stood out to me.
History of one destined for greatness
Back in the '80s, many things we take for granted in computing today simply weren't very widespread yet. The graphical user interface – pioneered by Xerox, brought to market by Apple – was something completely new. Multitasking on home machines, especially those that did have a GUI, was generally not possible, and even something as mundane as a colour display was a rarity to have at home.
The operating system on the Mac, simply dubbed System, was still a black and white fixed resolution single-tasking operating system. Windows was technologically slightly more advanced than crayons and a sheet of A4 paper. The Atari TOS had a colour interface, but everything was fixed-size and it didn't do multitasking.
Then came the Amiga 1000, in 1985. It had a colour interface, with the colours being completely customisable. The Amiga could change resolutions on the fly, it had a pre-emptive multitasking kernel, and thanks to its custom hardware, could perform audio and video tricks other platforms could only dream of. The Amiga was easily 10 years ahead of its time.
The kernel of the AmigaOS, Exec, was a microkernel before the term was even coined. Even with as little as 256KB of memory (the amount of memory the first Amiga shipped with) it provided pre-emptive multitasking. The Exec microkernel did not suffer from the usual overhead associated with context switches and message passing in other microkernels because the Amiga only has one address space.
In his series of articles on the history of the Amiga, Jeremey Reimer (Ars Technica) explained the importance of having pre-emptive multitasking so early on in the game:
The decision to make a multitasking kernel would have a huge impact on the way the Amiga computer would perform, and even today the effects can still be felt. Because the mainstream PC market did not gain true multitasking until 1995 (with Windows 95) and the Macintosh until 2001 (with OSX), an entire generation of software developers grew up on these platforms without knowing or understanding its effects, whereas the Amiga, which had this feature since its inception, immediately gave its developers and users a different mindset: the user should never have to wait for the computer. As a result, programs developed for the Amiga tend to have a different, more responsive feel than those developed for other platforms.
Despite its obvious strengths compared to the competition, the Amiga never gained as prominent a role as the Mac or Windows; even the massive product announcement Commodore organised didn't help here. The announcement is still unprecedented in the computer industry, showing off all the various features of the Amiga, such as its 4096 colour display, hardware accelerated graphics, and impressive sound chips – 4 channel sound with dedicated chips, leaving the actual processor idle. Because of the multitasking and advanced graphics capabilities of the Amiga, the full-screen demos were in fact applications that you could "slide down" to reveal the rest of the operating system running. The cherry on top? An IBM PC emulator called Amiga Transformer running DOS. To finish the demo, Andy Warhol and Deborah Harry (lead singer of Blondie) came on stage to demonstrate the Amiga further.
In a world where the Macintosh couldn't even hold more than 8 pages in its word processor, this was pretty impressive.
Just like the people and the industry simply didn't grasp Douglas Engelbart's demonstration, people had trouble with the Amiga announcement too (to a lesser degree, though). It was dismissed as glitter that normal users didn't need; people just didn't understand it, it was simply too advanced for its time. Even the remarkably low price didn't help. The Amiga 256KB went for 1295 USD, while the 512KB version went for 1495 USD. Compare this to the "archaic" monochrome and single tasking Macintosh, which only had 128KB, but sold for 2495 USD.
In the end, the early success of the Amiga was hindered by a number of bad business decisions, from bad retail strategy to bad advertising. Commodore was running out of money, the early operating system release suffered from the lack of protected memory, and sales came to a standstill. Later on, the company introduced the Amiga 500 and the Amiga 2000; especially the former invigorated the gaming market, which together with the graphics/video business was the primary market for the Amiga.
In 1992-1994, Commodore made a few key mistakes, such as announcing two "super Amigas" that took way too long to arrive, but people did wait for them, not buying any of the current Amigas. Commodore eventually ended up in the hands of Gateway, who created Amiga, Inc. in 1999, which would get all the patents and trademarks for the Amiga platform.
This is where everything starts to get complicated and cloudy, with two companies under the same name (Amiga Inc.) being registered in the US. All you need to know is that AmigaOS development continued, and that Hyperion Entertainment VOF from Belgium eventually developed AmigaOS 4 under license from Amiga, Inc. After a 5 year long development period, the completed version, dubbed The Final Update, was released in December 2006. AmigaOS 4.1 followed in the second half of 2008.

Last June, the 6th to be precise, the mighty Ducks (not official by name but certainly by efficiency) defeated the Ottawa Senators to win the first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. Accepting the championship trophy from NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was Scott Niedermayer, captain of the Anaheim squad, earning the right to call himself 'Stanley Cup champion' for an extraordinary fourth time. As he hoisted the Cup over his head, bringing the arena's capacity crowd to its feet in a cacophony of cheering, Scott glanced around, looking for the person to whom he would pass hockey's greatest trophy. Subconsciously, pundits had theorized who would be second to grasp the Cup would it be veteran Teemu Selanne? Chris Pronger? J-S Giguere?
The indelible image resulted from revealing the answer to the question. In an emotional moment, Scott reeled around and handed the Stanley Cup to his brother, Rob. Few will forget that moment and the affection evident between the Niedermayer brothers.
It's curious, but no matter how many times a town hosts a Stanley Cup celebration, the feeling never gets tired.
The plane carrying the Stanley Cup touched down in Cranbrook at 7:30 on the evening of Sunday, August 26. Greeting hockey's historic trophy were newlyweds Rob and Jessica Niedermayer, who earlier this summer had married and spent their honeymoon in Fiji. Jessica is the daughter of Barney Bentall, leader of the Legendary Hearts, who enjoyed musical success with songs like 'Something to Live For' back in 1987.
One of the principal goals of the visit to Cranbrook for Rob was to get photographs with the Stanley Cup at the top of Bull Mountain, which can be seen from his home. Scott had done similar shots on an earlier visit and they are among the most spectacular shots ever taken with the Lord Stanley's legacy.
That evening, Rob and Jessica invited a third party into their bedroom for a special night. They slept with the Stanley Cup.
The tour began with a Monday morning visit to the office of Dr. Robert Niedermayer, father to the two Stanley Cup champions. Scott met his Dad and brother there, joining the activities for the day.
After a stop at the local police station, the boys dropped into Stefan's Hair Studio, where their mother, Carol, gets her hair done. Rob and Scott's Mom had heard that Stefan Zhukrovsky was not going to be able to attend the reception for the boys that day, so they surprised him and his 12-year-old son Conner by bringing the Stanley Cup to them. It was a day for streaks and shrieks at Stefan's that morning!
At noon, the Niedermayers arrived at the Cranbrook RecPlex. They made their entrance on a truck that circled the perimeter of the rink. With well over a thousand people looking on, Mayor Ross Priest declared August 27 Rob and Scott Niedermayer Day in Cranbrook.
The boys were greeted by a non-stop phalanx of light as fans took pictures of the local boys with the Stanley Cup. The media attended in abundance, firstly to celebrate a momentous occasion and secondly, hoping to discover whether Scott intended to play hockey in 2007-08. Scott did offer a clue: "I'm not tired of the question; I just wish someone would give me the answer!" Rob laughed, adding, "I've still got a couple of weeks left to try to talk him out of retirement." A later press conference confirmed that although Scott had not yet decided whether to retire, he would not be attending Anaheim's training camp.
The boys answered a number of questions about the significance of returning home with the Stanley Cup. "We heard from a lot of people that they really enjoyed watching this Stanley Cup final with Rob and I playing," Scott mentioned. Rob smiled and punctuated his elation in winning the Cup with his brother. "I don't think anything in my career will ever top Scott passing me the Stanley Cup!"
Some local youngsters, clearly idolizing the Niedermayers, asked for some hockey advice. Rob started by insisting, "Make sure you have fun and remember, it's a game." Scott added, "In hockey, hard work is definitely rewarded."
The brothers posed for photos with the Stanley Cup, charging a fee that was donated entirely to Alyssa Bartraw, a beautiful little six-year-old girl from Cranbrook who was diagnosed with leukemia in May 2006 and is undergoing treatment at the Alberta Childrens' Hospital. They posed for at least a thousand photos, and easily signed that number again. $5,000 was raised through the efforts of the Cranbrook-based Ducks.
It was an exhausting four hours from noon to 4:00, and the boys were quite pleased to return to Rob's ranch for a barbecue, with 50 close friends enjoying a feast of hamburgers, corn on the cob and rhubarb-strawberry pie. Satiated, the group posed for an outstanding photo together in a field at sundown with the mountains in the background.
The official reception began with Scott and Rob riding on a vintage firetruck as thousands of local residents lined the streets, hollering and waving as the victors rode by with the Stanley Cup.
The route ended at Fernie City Hall. After a few pictures on the front lawn, the boys signed autographs again for several hours, with proceeds benefiting several children's groups.
Lunch was completed, and the Niedermayers took the Stanley Cup by ski lift to the top of a nearby mountain at the Fernie Alpine Resort for more photographs. Scott and his family took the Stanley Cup to Elk River, an exquisite natural area of the Kootenays not far from Fernie. As Scott and his wife Lisa and their boys, Logan, Jackson and Josh were having pictures taken, a conservation officer warned them that grizzly bears had been spotted in the area, and advised them to leave the area, which Scott and his family did, doing a head count as they climbed back into the vehicle.
Friends of Rob's had been unable to arrive in Cranbrook on Monday for the public reception, so flew in from Penticton on Tuesday at Rob's invitation and had their pictures taken with the Stanley Cup in a local park. The brothers then took the Cup to a local taxidermist's shop and to The Players Bench, a sporting goods store.
The time had come for Rob to realize his Stanley Cup dream. It was time for the mountain shot!
A helicopter lifted Rob, Scott and a photographer to a glacier near the peak of Bull Mountain. Then, they were carried to the very top, and with the helicopter hovering overhead, first lowered Rob, then Scott, onto the peak of the mountain. There was barely enough room to manoeuvre, but with the helicopter suspended just above them, the Stanley Cup was gingerly passed down to them. Meanwhile, a second helicopter carrying Jessica, Lisa and a videographer captured the moment as the Brothers Niedermayer collaborated on thrusting the Stanley Cup over their heads while standing high above the rest of the world.
Nervous but exhilarated beyond comprehension, Scott and Rob had achieved the dream of winning a Stanley Cup championship together, and now, had literally been on top of the world, again, together.
After all had settled their heart rates to near-normalcy, they ended their day in Finnegan's Wake, a Cranbrook bar owned by Brad Lukowich.
Binky's Auto Detail Shop was next, followed in rapid order by Gerick Sports, Rob's barber, their Mom's house, World's Gym, East Kootenay Regional Hospital, the Canadian Railway Museum, the Royal Bank, Joseph Creek Retirement Community, a few car dealerships and then lunch at Quizno's.
The sandwiches were barely finished when they jumped back into Scott's truck for a visit to the rookies trying, working out back at the Cranbrook RecPlex in hopes of cracking the line-up of the Kootenay Ice. After giving the Western Hockey League hopefuls something to aim for, the brothers were off to the Wildstone Sales and Discovery Centre, followed by the firehall then back to their mother's house. There, they got cleaned up for a further Stanley Cup celebration, this time, at the Colombo Hall. Four Hundred guests were in attendance, and as the Niedermayers entered, they were preceded by the skirl of bagpipes, with those in attendance standing in unison to welcome the local heroes of hockey.
A few speeches were made before the invited tucked into a feast of food. In his speech, Rob amused the guests by mentioning, "Hey, I couldn't beat Scott so I had to get him to join us!"
A sensational three-day celebration in the communities of Cranbrook and Fernie evaporated as quickly as ice in summer. The visits, all of the many made by the Niedermayers, passed by in a blur. "You want to share it with the people that helped you along the way," shrugged Rob. "Without your family and without your community, we wouldn't be here." Scott added, "It feels good when you make people happy, when you do something that makes them smile."
"I'm sure glad it turned out the way it did," concluded Rob. "It just means that much more to have won it (the Stanley Cup) together."

Cup into enemy territory, Y'all come back now, hear?

Receiver Jordan Westerkamp had one of the most productive careers for a Nebraska receiver, leaving his mark throughout the Husker record book. The Chicago native was a Nebraska fan favorite since his freshman season and was a leader for the Huskers on and off the field. The 6-0, 200-pound Westerkamp was a captain as both a junior and senior, and earned All-Big Ten honors his final two seasons.
Westerkamp capped his Nebraska career with 167 receptions for 2,474 yards and 18 receiving touchdowns. His receptions total is second in Nebraska history, while his receiving yardage and touchdown totals both ranked fourth on the career charts. He was just the fourth player in school history with 2,000 receiving yards, joining Kenny Bell, Johnny Rodgers and Nate Swift. Westerkamp has great hands, allowing him to make the difficult catches routine. He grabbed headlines throughout his career, first with a game-winning Hail Mary touchdown catch against Northwestern in 2013. He has added several highlight-reel catches since, including a behind-the-back reception against Florida Atlantic in 2014 that earned Westerkamp ESPN's College Football Play of the Year.
Westerkamp had one of the most productive receiving seasons in Nebraska history as a junior in 2015 with 65 catches for 918 yards in 2015, good for the second and third-highest totals in school history, respectively, in those categories. Westerkamp's effort in 2015 earned him second-team All-Big Ten honors and he earned third-team accolades as a senior despite battling a series of injuries.
Off the field, Westerkamp was a three-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and earned his degree in management in December of 2016.
2016 (Senior)
Westerkamp played in 10 games as a senior, missing two games at midseason and the bowl game against Tennessee because of injury. Despite missing three contests, Westerkamp led the Huskers with 38 receptions, 526 receiving yards and five touchdowns. He caught at least one pass in all 10 games, extending his streak of games with a reception to 36 straight to end his career. Westerkamp was a third-team All-Big Ten choice by the conference coaches, and an honorable-mention pick by the media.
Against Wyoming, Westerkamp had four catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns, then added a pair of touchdown catches in the win over Oregon. The two-touchdown efforts against Wyoming and Oregon were the first multiple-TD games of his Husker career. His biggest catch against the Ducks came late in the fourth quarter, when he caught a strike from Tommy Armstrong Jr. on a 4th-and-9 play to keep the game-winning drive alive.
In his hometown, Westerkamp had a 10-yard touchdown run against Northwestern, before catching four balls for 65 yards against Illinois before leaving late in the contest with an injury. He missed the following two games, before returning with three catches for 62 yards at Wisconsin. He had four catches for 51 yards at Ohio State and made six receptions for 50 yards in a win over Minnesota. Westerkamp closed his home career in style on Senior Day, with a season-high eight catches for 85 yards, including a four-yard touchdown grab. He had four receptions for 50 yards at Iowa, before suffering a knee injury in bowl practice that kept him out of his final game with the Huskers.
2015 (Junior)
Westerkamp played in all 13 games and led the team with 65 receptions for 918 yards and seven touchdowns. Westerkamp's 918 receiving yards were just 24 shy of the NU season yardage record and his 65 catches were the most ever for a Nebraska wide receiver and second-most by any player in school history.
He recorded four 100-yard receiving games to tie a Nebraska season record and had seven games with at least five receptions, while catching at least one pass in every game. Westerkamp ranked sixth in the Big Ten in both receptions (5.0) and receiving yards per game (70.6), and earning second-team All-Big Ten honors.
Westerkamp caught a touchdown in each of the four non-conference games. He opened the season with seven catches for 107 yards and a 21-yard touchdown against BYU in the opener. A week later, he caught three passes, including a 22-yard touchdown, against South Alabama.
Westerkamp helped trigger Nebraska's second-half rally at Miami with a 22-yard touchdown catch. He finished the day with five receptions for 95 yards, and also had a career-long 24-yard punt return. Westerkamp caught a career-high 11 passes for 118 yards and a touchdown against Southern Miss. The reception total tied for the third-most in Nebraska history.
Westerkamp had four straight games with five or more catches in Big Ten play, beginning with six catches for 76 yards at Minnesota. He added five catches for 92 yards a week later against Northwestern.
Against Purdue and Michigan State, Westerkamp produced back-to-back nine-catch games and topped the century mark in both contests. He had 123 receiving yards and a touchdown at Purdue. In the upset victory over the Spartans, Westerkamp had 143 receiving yards, including a 38-yard first-quarter touchdown to give NU a 10-0 lead. He had 83 receiving yards in the fourth quarter against MSU, and triggered NU's game-winning drive with back-to-back catches of 28 and 33 yards.
Westerkamp caught his seventh touchdown of the season at Rutgers and had two catches in each of the final two games of the year.
2014 (Sophomore)
Westerkamp started nine games and was second on the team with 44 receptions for 747 yards and five touchdowns. His receiving yardage and receptions totals both ranked just outside of the top 10 on the Nebraska single-season charts. He recorded at least three catches seven times and had 100-yard receiving games against Florida Atlantic and Michigan State.
He opened the year with seven catches for 125 yards against FAU, including a 41-yard touchdown, setting then-career highs in both categories. Westerkamp and Kenny Bell became the first pair of wide receivers in school history to both top 100 receiving yards in the same game. Westerkamp had a team-high four catches for 61 yards in a win over McNeese State, including a 40-yard touchdown in the first quarter.
Westerkamp caught a career-long 70-yard touchdown on the game's third play at Fresno State. At Michigan State, Westerkamp had a career-high 158 receiving yards on a season-high nine catches, all in the second half. The nine catches are tied for the ninth-most in NU history, while the 158 yards were fifth-best in school history.
Westerkamp had a four-yard touchdown catch against Rutgers and added five receptions against Minnesota. He capped the year with three catches for 81 yards against USC in the Holiday Bowl, including a 65-yard touchdown in the third quarter.
2013 (Redshirt Freshman)
Westerkamp played in all 13 games, with a start against Georgia, and had 20 receptions for 283 yards and a touchdown. He was NU's top punt returner for much of the season. His lone touchdown catch of 2013 will go down in Husker history, coming on a 49-yard Hail Mary pass to defeat Northwestern.
Westerkamp caught four passes for 30 yards in the season's first five games, before becoming a bigger part of the passing game. He had three receptions for 53 yards at Purdue and also added three catches at Minnesota. Westerkamp had a season-best day against Northwestern with four catches for 104 yards, capped by the touchdown from Ron Kellogg III. He had a season-high five catches for 62 yards at Penn State.

Honestly I used the pop ups on a couple of missions (they will go up tomorrow) and found them kind of a mixed bag. They slowed me down a lot, but they did prevent any accidental clicking myself to death.
One thing I did not like is how they present when you are fighting at the edge of the screen. On the bottom it covered up the hotkeys, and on the top it covered up my character and enemy I was fighting. Sure I could see all the necessary info, and I know the hotkeys, but that kind of thing just isn't pretty. It just needs some polish, I always like seeing my character on screen and the combat even if it is just a quick animation.
One thing I very much like in this mode is the ability to select an enemy so I can finally read those popups that explain their abilities (like corrosive and poison). I don't know if that was possible before or not, but it possible now, and since I don't use the wiki so much it is very important to me

Kelly Clarkson Name-Checks Reba McEntire, Elvis + More in New Song 'Ain't Gonna Like This'
Kelly Clarkson was on fire at the 2013 Country Radio Seminar, as she introduced a new song that everyone is talking about called 'Ain't Gonna Like It'. With help from a trio of girlfriends, she hit every note and delivered in such a way that pulled everyone to their feet.
Clarkson debuted the song, which she co-wrote with her guitarist Aben Eubanks, on the always-anticipated Sony boat. In it, she clearly displays her love for all genres of music, including rock, soul, and country, with the lyrics naming many musical influences, including Reba McEntire (her future mother-in-law), Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, and Trisha Yearwood.
During her stellar debut performance of 'Ain't Gonna Like This,' Clarkson was backed by the Pistol Annies, consisting of Miranda Lambert, Ashley Monroe, and Angeleena Presley. She displayed her powerful vocals that have rocked the music world since her early 'American Idol' days, and received a rousing standing ovation for her efforts. In fact, Taste of Country feels it was one of the best performances of the night!
The lyrics to her newest hit, and they're full of sass and fun, just like her.
"So what if I like some country / Whether it's music or the men / So what if I like the mood that country puts me in / If you don't like Johnny, and if you don't like Elvis / You ain't gonna like this / You ain't gonna like, ain't gonna like this / You ain't gonna like this..."
Hopefully, we'll be hearing this song on country radio in the future, and we think there aren't many who 'Ain't Gonna Like It'.

The public works director in Norwalk, Connecticut is making a case for privatization of waste collection, estimating savings of over $1.2 million in the first two years. Per The Daily Norwalk:
The city would save $360,000 in fiscal year 2012-13 if it were to outsource garbage collection, says Hal Alvord, director of the Department of Public Works. That figure would jump to $950,000 the following year.
If the plan is not approved, the council would need to add $800,000 to its 2012-13 budget, or the price of four garbage trucks. "Our newest truck is 12 years old," Alvord said. "If the truck is broken down by the side of the road or you can't get it out of the garage, the garbage isn't going to get picked up."
The cost of pickup by city workers would be $126 per household in 2012-13, Alvord said. This compares to $30 a household for recycling pickup, which is contracted to City Carting. Rowayton, which has contracted out garbage collection for decades, will pay $76 a household.
Eight public works employees are assigned to refuse. The city's garbage truck drivers get $30.64 an hour, and the laborers get $22.86 to $29.18 an hour. Private sector drivers get $20 to $23 an hour, and laborers earn $12 to $15 an hour.
The hourly rate does not include benefit costs, according to Jim Haselkamp, the city's personnel director. Alvord said benefits are equal to about 51 percent of a city worker's salary and 30 percent of a private contractor's salary.
"You can see right there, that's the basis for a big chunk of the savings," Alvord said. "Another big part of the savings that we get in Norwalk is from workers' comp from injuries."
Sanitation workers made up 10 percent of the public works staff from 2005 to 2010, but 42 percent of the workers' comp complaints came from the sanitation department. The regular sanitation claims totaled $538,000. Catastrophic claims – from employees whose injuries prevent them from returning to work – resulted in settlements of $1,206,115 to three people. A total of 1,400 work days were lost to sanitation claims.
[…] If the plan goes through, the eight workers would be reassigned as truck drivers and would be paid less. The city has agreed to give them a one-time lump sum payment of $7,000 as compensation, the amount of money they would lose over a year.
"We took this position on outsourcing solid waste because we had a way of continuing to provide that service to residents, to do it in a manner that provides significant savings of money and protects the jobs and health of our employees because nobody would get laid off," Alvord said.
Absent any other information, one might think that at the very least this might be compelling enough for city electeds to authorize a procurement. Remember that going to procurement means nothing more than just the government testing the market to see what kind of bids it gets back. They're not obligated to actually privatize anything if the bids don't pencil out or make fiscal sense. In fact, governments should be doing way more of this sort of bid process for public services, because at the very least—even if you end up not going to contract—you've still gotten a third-party, independent validation of your budget for that particular service, a comparative benchmark of sorts.
But so far, at least based on media reports, that kind of thinking doesn't yet seem to be at play with some of the electeds in Norwalk, who seem antsy amid current union bargaining. Cutting to the chase, from today's Daily Norwalk:
Alvord said last week that many council members had not heard the numbers in the case to outsource. He presented that case in an executive session.
"Clearly they don't understand," he said. "I don't know how anybody can sit here and say, 'I don't see any cost savings.' But, you know, some of these positions were set in concrete long before this."
In other words, pro-labor pols will argue the sky is red if that's the way to avoid privatization. When policymakers get so cozy with unions that even mentioning alternative management regimes that could benefit taxpayers is verboten/scary/heresy, then it's time for taxpayers to reassess the fortitude of their leaders. The unions aren't the root problem; it's electing sycophantic politicians that offer reflexive deference to labor interests over taxpayers.

The Future of this Forum:
The Inkscape Project will open its first official forum, on the Inkscape website, this August (2019). (Address/link will be provided at that time.) When that happens, new registrations will no longer be allowed in this forum and Inkscape support will be provided in the new forum. This forum will still be open for a while, so that existing topics can be finished, and existing users can have access to their contents. But all potential new members should register on the Inkscape website, and post their questions in the new forum, starting in August. If you have any questions or comments, you can post them here.
Although I've been planning to put this forum in read-only mode, at the time of this transition, unfortunately, my personal circumstances have changed, and I won't be able to host this forum much longer. If anyone is interested in taking it over, please contact me.

arthritis, Carla Kienast, cholesterol, hip replacement surgery, knee surgery, Lipitor, Q wave, R wave, rheumatoid arthritis, statins
Good news.
I saw my cardiologist (who has a much more robust/sophisticated EKG machine than my internist), and there is no Q wave on my EKG. We actually spent most of the visit on other topics (below) and I finally asked specifically about the Q wave report. He said there is no Q wave on the EKG. There is a "slow progression on the R wave, but no Q wave." He was not concerned with the EKG.
I wasn't concerned either until I got home and looked up what a slow progression on the R wave meant. There are a couple of common causes for this. The first is a myocardial infarction of the back of the heart (i.e., heart attack affecting the back of the heart). So I immediately panicked and felt like I was right back where I started from. The second concerns large-breasted women (check that box) because it's difficult to get the leads placed correctly.
I finally calmed down and decided that I was seeing one of the best cardiologists around (he did the recent stent in ex-President George W. Bush's heart and they try not to let bozos work on ex-Presidents). He's also my husband's cardiologist and so I know how conservative he is, having had him in our medical "family" for more than four years. If he didn't think the situation warranted further tests or exploration, then I was going to trust him. And even though I'm an extremely skeptical and active participant in my health care, sometimes trusting the experts is the right thing.
He was seriously up in arms about my cholesterol levels (as mentioned in my earlier posts). My cholesterol has been over 200 since April 2010 and has sky rocketed this past six months, closing in on 300. (Yikes!) He looked at my (extensive) medication list and ask me where my statin prescription was and I explained that my PCP hadn't prescribed one. To which he replied, "I will take care of that. We will not have you dying of a heart attack or stroke."
I actually thought it was strange that my husband's cholesterol has been in a healthy 100 to 150 range for several years while we eat basically the same diet (although mine's probably a bit healthier). Then it was one of those "duh!" moments when I realized that, of course, he is on a statin which helps control the situation.
Being on a statin (and taking yet another prescription medication) was the last thing I wanted. For someone with RA taking a drug with potential side effects of muscle and body aches is not something that's appealing. But diet and exercise have not reversed the trend and dying of a preventable condition is not acceptable.
So now I'm on generic Lipitor. I go in for lab work in a couple of months with the expectation that my cholesterol levels will be dramatically improved.
In other news, I'm continuing on with physical therapy for my new knee. It's a slow, painful process. My knee still isn't bending much over 100 degrees (it takes about 125 degrees to effectively get up from a sitting position). But no one said it was going to be easy. Some days are better than others. But when I look back five weeks to my condition right after surgery, I can see that I have made significant progress, so I have faith that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I hope that what ever is at the end of your tunnel brings a smile. Thanks for checking in.

With a growing number of men and women in the military returning to civilian life after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Portland State University is looking to accommodate them with educational services and resources.
Home to over 30,000 students, PSU boasts the highest number of military veterans of any other school in the state. Recent numbers show that there are currently up to 1,100 enrolled vets at the downtown university at any time.
This summer, the university opened a Veteran's Resource Center to help the growing number of military personnel transition to the classroom with success.
According to Carolina Gonzalez-Prat, one of the two people who navigate the center's operations, the primary function is assisting vets with the G.I. Bill which provides servicemen and women with a range of benefits, including lower tuition fees.
Gonzales-Prat says that with government shutdown in October, a lot of military-students' benefits were at risk, and reminded both college officials and former military of the importance of the VRC's advocacy for them.
She said before the shutdown, you wouldn't think twice about the education benefits disappearing, "Like we'll be fine no matter what. But the shutdown went two weeks and people were freaking out. That's rent for them, that's benefits."
The Veterans Center also sponsors a College Success Class for the returning warriors. The class is more focused on the transition from being a soildier to a student, something Gonzalez-Prat who served 5 years in the military herself knows is crucial to veterans performance in the classroom.
"Everything's not life or death anymore. So it's just kind of shifting your mindset, of how to interact with people. And asking for help," she says of the veterans she serves.

Seriously, does it matter what any one of us feel? The United States unfortunately is without union. Whatever the issue, there are two sides.
Seriously, does it matter what any one of us feel? The United States unfortunately is without union. Whatever the issue, there are two sides.
The facts are all about who interprets them. The Second Amendment — who can tell what we call the "Founding Fathers" were thinking? If given the choice, they may have wanted a weapon that was more accurate and deadly.
Women are treated as second-class citizens throughout the world; maybe that's what was meant to be. Universal health care: Is it a moral issue or a money issue? The 1 percent: Is there a difference between those who inherited it and those who "made" it? The prison system: made for violent criminals or anyone? The mental health system: purpose?
The people who have had the privilege to have been born in or been able to immigrate to this country need to recognize how lucky they are. To destroy this country through disagreement is a crime that everyone who calls themselves an American needs to come together and fight against. Or maybe it doesn't matter and it was time for this body of land to self-destruct.

A recent letter writer said that President Obama was unfairly maligned. That's almost laughable.
The only promise he has kept, the Affordable Care Act, passed only after 1,700 waivers were issued. And it is being soundly rejected by nearly everyone else — doctors, states and the business community.
Calling Obama the most business-friendly president in decades is hysterical, unless he was referring to Solyndra, Fisker Automotive and A123 Systems. I would venture to say that the people who make up the real unemployed — 11 to 12 percent of the workforce — don't consider him too business-friendly.
He is maligned simply because he is the most ill-prepared occupant of the Oval Office this country has ever seen and history will bear that out. I could write page after page about the failures of this president. But that's time I don't wish to waste on him.
Thank you.

I have to disagree with the Pauline Liu Feb. 18 article concerning guns in schools.
Principals and assistant principals should, after the normal checks, be allowed full gun-carry permits simply because of their occupations. It should not be mandatory and the school district should not pay for it.
Also, whether a certain principal has a gun should not be publicized. The point is, a potential bad guy should be made to wonder whether everyone in school is really unarmed.
No, the principal doesn't have to be the Lone Ranger. He or she can run out the door if he or she chooses. The point is prevention. The difference between this idea and the gun control laws the politicians will come up with is that this will work.

The City of Newburgh continues to help our property values drop. For those of you who don't know, Newburgh taxpayers pay the highest water rates in the county. We pay 10 times the rate compared with the towns of Newburgh and New Windsor. Ten times.
Now your rate will increase another 10 percent. Between outrageous taxes and high utility rates, no wonder no one wants to invest in our city. When will people who implement these rates wake up? I guess it's not a concern to them; they don't live here.
The people who are most at risk are the elderly and those on a fixed income. The people who have lived here their whole lives. How can they continue to pay?
It doesn't take much imagination to tax the people to death to pay the bills. It does, however, take real leadership to come up with innovative ways to attract business and boost our economy. Newburgh needs a real business person to make it happen. Not someone whose only interest is collecting a big paycheck. It's time to clean house, Newburgh

The voters of Greenwood Lake have a chance for much-needed new leadership in this upcoming March election.
I have known Jesse Dwyer for more than 17 years. He has grown into an exceptional young man who cares very deeply for the village and its residents. He actively participates in his community. He is a member of the Elks Club, Lions Club and serves as a trustee on the Village Board.
It's refreshing to see someone as young as Dwyer taking such an active role as a leader in his community. Being a Greenwood Lake businessman has allowed him to be in constant contact with village residents. Whether walking along Windermere Avenue, or frequenting local businesses, he listens and addresses people's concerns.
I proudly served the Village of Greenwood Lake for 25 years and care deeply for the village and the many friends I have there. The village is in need of a mayor with the following qualities: honesty, integrity, loyalty, candor and commitment.
These values define Dwyer's service to the village and are much needed. That is why he is the best choice for mayor. Vote for Jesse Dwyer March 19.

Your editorial page recently gave "jeers" to the mayor and myself for supporting a referendum to change the form of government in Monticello at this time rather than hire a manager. Wake up. The filing deadline to put such a referendum on the ballot this year has already passed.
Eager to "make a mess," your editorial page editor may have missed my December statement on carmenrue.com headlined "Now is not the time to change the form of government."
The editorial page apparently also missed your newspaper's piece by Victor Whitman the following day (Dec. 14), "Monticello trustee puts plan to scrap manager on hold"; and Feb. 6, when Whitman correctly reported that I support delaying a referendum to 2016 to coincide with the next mayoral election.
"Jeers" to your editorial board, which might know about events in New Windsor but is out of touch with Monticello and Sullivan County news.
My goal remains to work with the Village Board to choose a professional manager, experienced in economic development, qualified to administer an $11 million budget, which has been compromised and mismanaged in recent years — not vote 3-2 to pick a convenient and malleable friend, relative or crony.

Schoolhouse comedy gets mediocre marks
'Bad Teacher'
Starring: Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Jason Segel
Director: Jake Kasdan
Rated: R
Note the "R" rating above. Don't take your kids to see this, or the slew of other like-rated comedies that are in theaters. I'm always amazed when I see toddlers roaming the aisles during these films. The titular adjective in this title can be taken many ways and most of them involve things I wouldn't want to watch with my parents.
That little screed aside, there is good and bad to "Bad Teacher." Though this latest entry into what is becoming a new genre — "the raunchy comedy" — falls far short of others like "Bridesmaids" and "Hangover 2," it can boast Cameron Diaz, who is on fire as morally compromised, burned out English teacher Elizabeth Halsey, a stone-cold cynic who only holds down a classroom so she can make enough money for the breast augmentation she thinks will snag her a rich husband.
She has her sights set on the new substitute played by former flame Justin Timberlake, a mild-mannered milquetoast with family money named Delacorte. But it's the P.E. coach (Jason Segel) who sees the good in the bad Elizabeth. Director Jake Kasdan makes sure we understand just how bad she is by having her do everything from drinking, sleeping and getting high on the job while her students watch movies every day to stealing her kids' car wash fundraiser money and selling the school's lost and found items to a local charity. The ill-gotten funds she saves for her boob job.
As much as Kasdan tries to capture that winning formula of raunchy fun that audiences are clamoring for, it never quite gets there. The script is disjointed, settling for comedy bits instead of anything resembling a storyline, and it doesn't exploit Elizabeth's dark side enough. If she's bad, then unleash it like Billy Bob Thornton in "Bad Santa." Even so, Diaz is fearless in her comedy choices — anything for a laugh — such as portraying a character that is so blatantly unredeemable.This teacher's snarkiness is not just reserved for the adults in her life. That's bad enough, but she also unleashes her scorched-earth attitude on unwitting seventh-graders in her class, and while some of her candor is funny, it stings. Take for instance her brutal honesty with the class nerd as she tells him he's never going to get the popular girl and his best years are ahead of him when he gets to in college. But she offers this with the caveat of "maybe." Ouch.
While Diaz brings a cruel vigor and earthy sassiness to her part, equally as good is Lucy Punch as the rival teacher who starts to unravel when Elizabeth thwarts her goody-goody attitude at every turn. Punch, who played the deranged girlfriend in "Dinner for Schmucks," has great timing and competes with Diaz for laughs throughout.
The cast is also peppered with TV funsters on hiatus like Eric Stonestreet from "Modern Family" as Elizabeth's slobby roommate and Phyllis Smith from "The Office," probably the only teacher who considers Elizabeth a friend. And even though Diaz and Timberlake have real history, it's Segel that she has more chemistry with here.
Like the phrase most often checked on my report cards, there is "room for improvement" with this movie, but I give it a passing grade of B-.

Many people are intimidated when they meet with a financial advisor for the first time because they're embarrassed about their lack of financial knowledge.
This is ironic because a lack of knowledge is the main reason they're seeking an advisor. Instead of feeling intimidated, you should adopt the same critical posture as when interviewing a contractor or a mechanic, even though you're not an expert in those fields either.
You're the consumer and you should act like one by asking probing questions to see whether an advisor is truly interested in and capable of working in your best interests. When shopping around for an advisor, put candidates to the test by asking five key questions:
1. How are you paid, and what are all the costs that would be involved in working with you? The answer to the first part of this question will shed light on the advisor's potential for conflicts of interest. Consumers need advisors who succeed by making money for their clients, not primarily for themselves. This is the rationale for the fee-for-service compensation arrangement that most advisors use.
If advisors recommend that you buy certain financial products that they then offer to provide, you need to determine whether the recommendations stem from an objective assessment of your needs or from a possible conflict of interest rooted in the sales commissions they'll receive. Not all advisors who sell products do so with a conflict of interest; their clients may actually need the recommended products for their portfolios.
Yet, if an advisor wants to sell you products, you should evaluate his or her motivation by asking additional questions, beginning with, "What are you getting out of this?"
Beyond the advisor's own compensation, find out all the other costs that might be involved from other parties — fees and transaction costs charged by mutual fund companies, brokerages and any other entity that may be involved. Costs are one of the few investing factors you can control by saying no if they're too high. To boost your net investment returns, advisors should be just as interested in helping you contain these costs. Ask advisors to write down all direct and indirect costs that would be involved in a relationship, from all entities involved. This list should include the advisor's own fees and commissions (if any).
Also ask for disclosure of any compensation received in any form – cash, services, training or office equipment – in return for arranging your investments with these companies. While you're at it, find out whether the advisor has an outside custodian for assets or handles this internally. Outside custodians can introduce checks and balances. If Bernie Madoff had had an outside custodian, his massive, chronic Ponzi scheme might have been discovered sooner.
If an advisor won't supply all of this information in writing, move on.
2. What are your qualifications?
Look for credentials that reflect knowledge of the field and, more importantly, that indicate continuous learning. These include any of various designations or certifications, such as certified financial planner.
Not all of the certifications and designations (abbreviations for them are the alphabet soup you see after their names) are professionally significant. Some are primarily for marketing purposes. Yet many of them require holders to engage in continuing education to broaden and deepen their knowledge base and expand their skill set. Holding the more credible of these titles generally reflects a goal of constant improvement and a general openness to new ideas about the best ways to serve clients.
You're looking for indications that your advisor is aware that the world is changing and that there may be better ways to do things, and is always endeavoring to improve.
Academic degrees are also positives, but they don't matter as much as advisory experience. A degree in business or economics is helpful, but not essential. If your advisor studied history but has logged 20 years as an advisor and is involved in professional learning opportunities, then you shouldn't hold his lack of a pertinent academic degree against him. Look for substantial experience serving clients.
3. How many clients do you have like me in terms of asset totals, life situations and goals? Advisors tend to classify clients in separate groups of people with common traits. You want to be in the group that comprises most of an advisor's clients. You don't want to be a one-off, because you don't want to be paying an advisor to learn on the job how to best serve someone like you. You want them to know this when you walk in the door so you can get the best service from the get-go.
4. Where do you want to take your firm down the road?
Is the firm planning to vastly expand from a boutique operation to a mega-firm with many more clients, making you less important? Or is the plan to scale down, become more boutique and jack up minimum investment requirements so high that the firm may not want you any longer? The point is to ensure that your long-term interests aren't inconsistent with or subordinated to those of the advisor.
You want an advisor with a well-articulated investment philosophy who can structure a solid, long-term investment strategy for you — one that will give you confidence in good times and bad.
This is an important area to explore, because how the advisor runs the business provides clues as to how they would run your personal finances. If advisors can't plan long-term for themselves, how can they do it for you?
5. What is your process for bringing new clients on board?
If there is none, this is a problem. If an advisor's answers fail to show a thorough process for getting to know you and learning about your assets, goals and risk tolerance, then the advisor likely won't render you good service. A desirable onboarding process might involve an extensive interview, a written questionnaire or both. Either way, there should be a lot of specific questions and a lot of listening involved, and taking notes or recording. Then the advisor should take this information and develop a specific financial plan based on your situation and present it to you with a rationale demonstrating why it's the best plan for you and your family.
If an advisor is quick to make investment recommendations, this is usually a red flag. Does your doctor write prescriptions without examinations or tests?
Good advisors should be willing to do this orientation work up front to serve you better — and they should have a well-conceived, standardized process for doing so.

From staff reports
Transportation and Parking Services would like to notify the University community of the following lane closure:
University Terrace will temporarily close for a period of approximately four weeks due to scheduled work at the Master Housing Plan project site. The closure will be in place beginning Dec. 16, 2013 and will continue until Jan. 10, 2014.
The closure will affect the stretch of roadway south of parking lot 83 (near Clippinger Laboratories) and continue to the intersection of South Green Drive (near the Ping Recreation Center). Both parking lot 83 and 84 (near the Clippinger Research Annex building) will remain open during this time.
Motorists will be detoured along South Green Drive, to North McKinley Avenue, to East Mulberry Street, to Stewart Street and will join University Terrace at the intersection near Scott Quad. Signage will be posted during the closure on University Terrace and South Green Drive.
A portion of East Green Drive near Morton Hall will need to be closed at 7 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 26, due to emergency repairs to replace the main sewer line leaving Morton Hall. While this section of the roadway is closed access may be granted through Morton Parking Lot (Lot 90). Staff will be in the area to assist with traffic flow. East Green Drive is anticipated to be open by 5 p.m.
South Green Drive will be restricted to one lane while mechanical/electrical work is completed on the Walter Fieldhouse. This work will take place from Monday, Nov. 25, through Friday, Dec. 6. Flaggers will direct east bound and west bound traffic during the construction.
For real time parking updates, follow @ohiouparking on Twitter.
Also, sections of the campus will be affected by a proposed electrical power outage. Beginning Friday, Nov. 29 at 5 a.m. the electrical power to the following buildings will be shut down: Porter Hall, Walter Hall, and Grover Center. The power outage is expected to last 1 to 2 hours.
Beginning Friday, Nov. 29 at 5 a.m. the electrical power to the following buildings will be shut down: Ping Center and Golf & Tennis Clubhouse. The electrical power outage is required to safely pull new power cable from the Walter Fieldhouse to the Ping Center. The power outage is expected to last 10 to 12 hours.
In the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 29, there will be a second power outage affecting Porter Hall, Walter Hall, and Grover Center for approximately 1 to 2 hours to restore power to Ping Center and Golf & Tennis Clubhouse. This second outage will happen between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.
The electrical power outage is subject to weather conditions. If below normal temperatures are forecasted the power outage will be re-scheduled.
Return any comments or temporary electrical power requirements to David Brown PE of Design and Construction Department via email firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone at 740-593-0095.
The power to Galbreath Chapel will be shut down on Monday, Dec. 2, to allow the primary feed cable to be secured in the tunnel.

Normally modern, contemporary lounges sacrifice comfort for looks - Not our Atlantic! Generous seating, padded in every area, and the added benefit of adjustable headrests make the Atlantic one of our most comfortable models.
The adjustable headrests have a special mechanism built in which allows it to be locked into a multitude of different positions so you can find the right height for your desired seating position and then simply fold them back to keep the sleek modern look.
The Atlantic is available various configurations and is upholstered in Full Leather.
Order configuration: 3 Seater with Chaise
Atlantic 3 Seater Chaise Lounge
$1899 in Full Leather
Chaise can be ordered left or right side.
Order configuration: 4 Seater with Chaise
Atlantic 4 seater Chaise Lounge
$2299 in Full Leather
Chaise can be ordered left or right side.
Full Leather Colour choice:
When we say Leather, we mean real, genuine, Top Grain Leather. This type of leather produces a nice, even texture with minimal scaring and has a protective seal. Top Grain (aka Corrected Grain) Leathers are best for everyday use.
Our raw Cow (Bovine) leather hides are sourced from South America (usually Brazil or Argentina). Cow (Bovine) hides are considered to produce the nicest kind of leather.
All lounges are available in a choice of 11 leather colours as below (pictures have been enlarged):
Chocolate Brown
Flint Grey
Flame Red
Navy Blue
2 Tone Burgundy
2 Tone Cherry
Forest Green
If you want to save money and are not fussed about having leather on the sides, ask us about Leather Where it counts.
Product Care:
Your skin produces oil (sebum) and perspiration which build up on & in the leather. Unprotected (unmaintained) leather will absorb these secretions causing an overload which eventually causes issues with the leather.
We recommend using leather care every 3 months to keep your leather lounge looking like brand new. A good leather care kit, such as our Guardsman kit contains both a leather cleaner and then a separate bottle of leather protector. The cleaner removes the built up perspiration and oils from usage and the protector nourishes and re-seals the leather thereby maintaining the original seal over the leather.
The Guardsman Maxi Leather care kit contains a 250mL bottle of Cleaner & Renew + 250mL bottle of Leather Protect & Preserve + 3x Ink Remover wipes, a sponge and a cloth.
Powered Recliners:
The Altantic has the option of adding a Powered Recliner which feature a good quality, low voltage, OKIN Refined motor (featuring German Technology) which is fitted into the mechanism and with a push of a button, it will quietly recline to any point that you wish and hold that position.
All of our lounges are covered by a 5 Year Limited Warranty. That is 5 Years against issues related to the structure (frame).
Seat cushions, Springs and Recliner actions are covered for a period of 3 Years.
Upholstery, Electrical parts & anything else is covered for 12 months.
How our lounges made:
All Materials used are brand new. Nothing recycled or reconstituted.
substantially constructed from hardwood timber
Seat cushions:
Resilient High Density Foam - No pocket springs are used (they might sound good however they rupture after a while and you end up with a bulge in the seat!)
Seat Supports:
the seat cushion is supported by flexible, zig zag steel springs that go from the front to the back of the seat frame - No elastic webbing is used - if a lounge has elastic webbing, the elastic will eventually stretch causing the seat to sag, no matter how good the seat cushion is!
Reclining actions:
wall saving, steel recliner actions which have a smooth operation. For a high back lounge, you will only need 100mm behind the lounge to fully recline.
Recliner Release:
we use steel triggers, not plastic ones!
Delivery and Installation:
We can arrange delivery and installation to most areas of Sydney, Wollongong, Central Coast, Newcastle, and Canberra.
Part of our standard delivery service is to setup your new lounge. Unlike many other companies that just drop it in your living room and expect you to put it together.
The only things we ask you to do is to have the space clear and to dispose of the packing from your new lounge.
To get a quote on delivery (shipping), simply add the lounge to the shopping cart and then enter your postcode in the appropriate box.

The San Diego Chargers have missed the playoffs in each of the last three seasons. Head coach Norv Turner and general manager A.J Smith were both fired after last season and replaced by Mike McCoy and Tom Telesco in hopes of returning the Chargers to the postseason.
One member of the Chargers that remains with the team and is a pivotal piece to their playoff hopes in 2013 is quarterback Philip Rivers.
Rivers' production has slipped over the past two seasons. He's thrown 35 interceptions over the past two years and 2012 was his first seasons since 2007 where Rivers failed to throw for 4,000 yards. Despite the amount of turnover in the Chargers' organization, Rivers still has high hopes for San Diego this season.
"Our expectations are high, they always are high," Rivers said in an interview on NFL Network's Total Access. "I think all 32 teams have the goal of winning a championship, that goes without saying. We have to get back to winning the AFC West, a thing we have let get away from us the last three years. We won about four in a row there. You have to give yourself a chance to get in the postseason."
Rivers expressed excitement over the changes in the Chargers' offense under McCoy and offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt.
"I think we can keep people off-balance and ultimately we have to go score points, score one more point than the other team. We haven't done that enough. We have been doing it at a .500 rate the last three seasons and we know that is not going to cut it," Rivers said.
Regardless, Rivers knows how close the Chargers came to making the Super Bowl on several occasions and knows that he won't have an unlimited amount of chances to get there. What's he's seen during the offseason has him believing the Chargers outlook will be more favorable for 2013.
"We have had a heck of an offseason, a heck of a spring and I know that expectations are high," Rivers said. "…When you start to talk about double-digit seasons you realize it not going to last forever. So enjoy the heck out of it, obviously fight like crazy to win every week like we always do, and I look forward to having a good year."

BROOKVALE Oval stadium home to the Sea Eagles could be demolished and turned into a community garden park, if a radical Warringah Council proposal is accepted.
Alternatively and far more likely a seven-storey commercial development incorporating a new grandstand has also been proposed for the southern end of Brookvale Park to pay for the much-needed upgrade of the football stadium. The commercial development could include a supermarket, small shops, a medical centre and offices or a leagues club and underground parking. A third option is to keep the stadium as it is and not fund any upgrade. A Warringah Council staff options paper, obtained by the Manly Daily yesterday outlined the three proposals. The options were presented to Warringah councillors last week and are likely to generate heated debate in the community. In 2007, the State Government gave the council $6.6million, matched by $4million from the council, for repairs to the roof and seating of the Jane Try stand, and the refurbishment of the change rooms, public amenities and food and drink outlets. The council owns the land and the buildings, and expects to spend about $1million a year to maintain the oval after the upgrade. The Sea Eagles pay the council $30,000 for each home game at Brookvale totalling $330,000 this year which would leave the council with a $670,000 shortfall if it decides to retain the status quo. Council staff say any development of the southern end of Brookvale Park would be self-funding and would generate a profit for the council to use to maintain the oval. The council's local environment plan allows for buildings up to eight storeys in the area but any commercial development would require rezoning part of Brookvale Park. Warringah Mayor Michael Regan says it would be up to the community to decide which option it wanted but he favoured the commercial development of the site, preferably without involving a developer as a partner. ``Rather than letting a developer take the risk and then take the profit, I'd rather see us develop it and maximise the profits we can return to ratepayers,'' he said. ``It would mean we take the risk but we reap the rewards for the community. ``We own Brookvale Park and ratepayers deserve to get the best return on that asset.'' Warringah councillor Christina Kirsch said she had no preference among the three options, so long as the process remains open and transparent, and the community was broadly consulted. ``We also have a duty of care to local residents and we need to be sure we cater for the broadest range of the community, not just one section,'' she said. ``We will need very extensive community consultation on this.''

SAN FRANCISCO — The third teenager who died from injuries suffered in the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 attended the same school as the other two Chinese students killed in the accident, according to Chinese news outlets that identified the latest victim Saturday as 15-year-old Liu Yipeng.
The girls all lived in East China's Zhejiang province, according to the English-language China Daily. They were traveling with the same group of 35 students who planned to attend an academic summer camp in Los Angeles.
Liu Yipeng died Friday at San Francisco General Hospital after suffering severe head injuries in the July 6 crash. On Saturday, San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault confirmed her identity and told this newspaper that the exact cause of her death had not yet been determined.
The 15-year-old was still in her seat when rescuers found her in the wreckage of the downed plane, The Associated Press said.
Authorities had previously identified the other two victims as Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, both 16. Officials said Ye Mengyuan was run over by a fire truck racing to the crash scene. The AP reported she may have been covered in flame-retardant foam that had been sprayed around the wreckage by emergency workers, although it's still not clear if she was alive at that point.
Wang Linjia was among passengers who may have been thrown from the plane. The AP said Saturday that she apparently didn't receive medical help immediately because rescuers didn't spot her body until 14 minutes after the crash.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash, but they have cleared the wreckage of the crashed Boeing 777 from Runway 28L at San Francisco International Airport.
Liu Yipeng's parents had traveled to San Francisco after the crash, arriving earlier this week before she died, the China Daily said.
Six other passengers were still being treated Saturday at San Francisco General Hospital. A spokeswoman said two were in critical condition. One other passenger remained in serious condition at Stanford Hospital.

Товарищи, Diamond Fighters is a tank arcade game that can be played alone or in two-player mode against computer-controlled enemies in a progression-based level system. I find it quite fun (it has upgrades & destroyable walls!) and good-looking (yay for pretty explosions!). Its source code is GPLed (no idea about art.)
iamar [home page, project page] is a project for teaching students how to make 3d games. It covers 3D modelling in blender and 3D game programming. The project consists of video material and the "iamar browser" which uses an in-house scripting engine called "semblis".
I have not tried to run it yet, but it is rather relevant to my interests, even though the "we made our own scripting language" deal does sound rather lame.
iamar has one huge advantage over Alice and Platinum Arts Sandbox: A 100% free software license (the GPL). (I'm especially confused about Sandbox' license.)
Geek game news time! MyMan (yo!) is a Pac-Man clone for the command line interface. Despite being a text-mode game, it doesn't look like crap! No horrible Nethack-like symbol clutter! (Yes, you're reading the words of an ASCII-hater right now! :P) It also supposedly has sound, although I have not tried to build it with it enabled.
Wing (the pre-alpha landcape generator, remember?) has now five more team members and aims for being cross-platfrom (formerly dx-only). Best of luck to their efforts.
PS: This blog will be shut down due to copyright infringement on April the 21st, Charles has decided to live computer-free from now on, raising sheep in the Highlands and I'm Steve Ballmer.
