THURSDAY, Dec. 29 (HealthDay News) -- There are many ways to
prevent spreading germs and disease, but experts say one of the
easiest ways is also one of the most important: proper
This is especially true during the holidays when people travel
and get together for parties and other celebrations, researchers at
the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety noted.
"Hand-washing is the single most effective way to prevent the spread of infections. You can spread certain 'germs' (a general term for microbes such as viruses and bacteria) by touching another person even casually. You can also catch germs when you touch contaminated objects or surfaces and then touch your face," the group explained in a news release from the Society for Women's Health Research.
When people don't wash their hands they can spread a number of
illnesses, including the common cold, which accounts for roughly 22
million missed school days and 20 million sick days from work,
according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Although there is no way to completely get rid of germs,
frequent hand-washing can significantly limit the spread of
viruses, bacteria and other microbes. Experts at the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) caution, however, that
hand-washing only prevents the spread of germs if it's done
The CDC offers the following hand-washing guidelines:
Of course, hands should be washed when they are obviously dirty,
but to avoid getting sick, the CDC suggests that hands should
always be washed
before: preparing food or eating; treating cuts or other wounds; handling medicine or caring for someone sick; or touching contact lenses.
The CDC also recommends washing hands
after: handling raw meat and poultry; using the bathroom or changing a diaper; touching animals or pet toys, leashes or waste; coughing, sneezing or nose blowing; treating wounds or caring for a sick person; carrying garbage, chemicals or anything that could be contaminated; using public transportation.
When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based hand
sanitizers that contain at least 60 percent alcohol can effectively
clean hands, according to the news release.

Go Red For Women Day
Go Red for Women encourages awareness of the issue of women and heart disease, and also action to save more lives. The movement harnesses the energy, passion and power women have to band together and collectively wipe out heart disease. It challenges them to know their risk for heart disease and take action to reduce their personal risk. It also gives them the tools they need to lead a heart healthy life. Only 55 percent of women realize heart disease is their No. 1 killer and less than half know what are considered healthy levels for cardiovascular risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. The Go Red for Women movement works to make sure women know they are at risk so they can take action to protect their health. Be sure to wear your red today and show your support!

"Give a Little Love" campaign
The "Give a Little Love" campaign is taking place at area McDonald's restaurants from Tuesday, January 22 through Valentine's Day on Thursday, February 14. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Illinois (RMHCCI) invites local residents to participate and "Give a Little Love" by donating $1 or more and your name will be written on a heart to be displayed at McDonald's. 100% of the proceeds will stay in central Illinois and directly benefit the Ronald McDonald House in Springfield, IL. RMHCCI exists to provide a supportive home away from home for families with children receiving medical care in Springfield, Illinois.

The Hoogland Center for the Arts, Alice Campbell Staffing, Illinois Times and the American Heart Association will present LOVE, LOSS AND WHAT I WORE on February 1, 2 and 3 in Theatre 3 at the Hoogland Center. Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron's intimate collection of vignettes and monologues is based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ilene Beckerman, as well as on the recollections of the Ephrons' friends. Like the book, this funny and poignant theatrical event uses clothing and accessories and the memories they trigger to tell stories that all women can relate to. Syndicated columnist Liz Smith simply raves, "This is an evening that goes directly to the heart, soul and vanity of every woman, young or old." The production will be directed by Aasne Vigesaa and will feature Nancy Cole, Claire Gordon, Susan Jeffers, Julie Staley and Missy Thibodeaux-Thompson. The show will be a dinner theatre production with the meal provided by Arena Food Service, Inc. Friday, February 1 (doors open at 6:30pm for dinner. Show at 8pm), Saturday, February 2 (doors open at 6:30pm for dinner. Show at 8pm), Sunday, February 3 (doors open at 12:30pm for lunch. Show at 2pm). Tickets are $40 ($10 from each ticket goes to the American Heart Association, so there will be the chance to claim that $10 as a charitable donation).

Right now I am in a rut. I am going to graduate in May and I am extremely scared right now. I think part of this is because right now I am Spiritually content. My heart is not breaking over anything. This is a huge problem. I have no idea what God wants me to do and I think the biggest reason for this is because I have stopped really praying about my future. I haven't really prayed about my long term future since I was in high school probably, when I prayed about school. Since I have been at LCU, I guess I felt there was no reason to pray about the future. My immediate future was already set. But what do I do now? What is next for me? I have no clue and there is nothing that I am urging to fix in the world. I have not been brought to tears or had that compassion feeling in my stomach for so long.
I'll love you like Christ loved the Church.

The Last Tinker: City of Colors Review: Play the rainbow
Although platforming, the delicate art of giving purpose to seemingly aimless jumping, has fallen from the favor it held during the PlayStation 2 era, games like Rayman Legends, Valdis Story: Abyssal City and Dust: An Elysian Trail ensure that we won't want for 2D action-platformers. 3D platforming, on the other hand, has become a true unicorn. However, even if the market were flooded... Read More

The hotel and restaurant were both wonderful. We had a very good and reasonably priced dinner in the restaurant and the breakfast buffet (included in our room rate) was one of the best that we had during our trip. The chocolate shop at the hotel had a very good selection of beautifully made candies. The staff were also very friendly and went out of their way to ensure that we had a nice stay. - Anonymous
Great place to stay. Located in the heart of the town. Beautifullydecorated. Great food. Would go back and stay longer next time. - Cynthia

* Ukraine peace deal falters as rebels dig in
* U.S. crude prices drop on forecast of stocks build
* Iran nuclear agency reshuffle may pave way for talks
(Recasts, updates throughout, adds quotes)
LONDON, April 22 (Reuters) - Brent oil fell towards $109 a barrel and the U.S. benchmark saw a sharper decline on Tuesday on forecasts of rising crude stocks as a faltering pact to ease tensions in Ukraine offered some support.
Brent crude was down 78 cents at $109.17 a barrel by 1341 GMT, after reaching a six-week high of $110.36 touched last week. U.S. crude slipped $1.62 cents to $102.75 a barrel.
"The supply situation on the oil market remains very good, despite the missing shipments from Libya. This is partly due to higher production in the Gulf states and the U.S., as well as the fact that sanctions against Iran have been eased since November," analysts at Commerzbank said in a note.
Any sharper price decline was halted by lingering concerns over the Ukraine where a four-way peace deal signed last week in Geneva to reduce tensions in the east has had limited impact so far. Pro-Russian separatists refuse to put down arms and pull out of occupied government buildings as Kiev and Moscow accuse each other of breaking the pact.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday offered to back Ukraine's economy and urged Russia to make progress on its commitments under the deal, a day after Washington threatened to impose additional sanctions against Russia "in days".
Investors fear that further Western sanctions on Russia may disrupt oil supplies from the key producer.
"A lot of the Ukraine tension is priced in and will keep underpinning oil prices. We have been in a pretty broad (price) range and we are near the top of the range so unless things change significantly, we will drift lower," said London-based CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson.
U.S. crude prices were weighed down by forecasts of a stock build at the benchmark pricing point at Cushing, Oklahoma.
A Reuters poll taken ahead of weekly inventory reports from industry group the American Petroleum Institute on Tuesday and the U.S. government's Energy Information Administration on Wednesday estimated crude stocks rose 2.7 million barrels on average for the week ended April 18.
"The drawdown from Cushing has slowed due to some recent problems on the Marketlink pipeline leading to expectations of near-term builds," said Amrita Sen, chief oil analyst at Energy Aspects.
Oil investors are also watching the progress of talks between Iran and world powers to end Tehran's disputed nuclear programme. President Hassan Rouhani's government confirmed speculation on Monday it had reshuffled the leadership of Iran's atomic agency to sideline nuclear experts opposed to talks with the West on its atomic programme.
China's March crude oil imports from Iran rose more than a third from a year earlier, keeping imports in the first three months of 2014 close to the levels seen before Western sanctions were applied more than two years ago.

Beautiful card for a program
Devoted Gate-fold Programs I used this base design and designed a wedding program for my son's wedding. It was gorgeous - the paperstock is perfect and I closed it with a custom belly band. Magnet Street should be on the Wedding Knot and other wedding sites as there choices of design, paper and services is incredible. I was kept aprised during the whole ordering and receiving process. Highly recommend
Names Written in the Sand Gate-fold Programs I won these programs on the wedding the vibe website, and could not be more impressed with how these turned out. They will b the finishing touch to my beach themed wedding. The website was very easy to use, customer service was quick to answer any questioned I had, and my order was finished and shipped in a few days. I would recommend magnet street to anyone looking to purchase programs!

Re: GUGUID
2012-08-14 09:26 • by Accalia.de.Elementia (unregistered)
Ah! I found the TRWTF: IE!
People use IE for anything? Willingly?
The MSDN documentation for the NewGuid method says only that the chance of a duplicate value is "very low." They should update their docs with the hit-by-a-meteor-during-Lent analogy.
Where's the WTF? That's totally justifiable! I never felt too comfortable about random values that are this likely to collide.
Cheap bastards, we have plenty of memory and storage capacity, and you use 128 bit random crap?!? We should move to 1 Gbit, at the very least!
The API here is TRWTF. You need to call two different GUID generators depending on whether or not this is the first GUID, and you have to keep a list of all your GUIDs around? Who designed this? There should be a single function which takes no parameters and internally stores all the GUIDs it generates. Bonus points if the list of GUIDs is persistent across runs so it can verify that it *never* duplicates a GUID. But that may be outside the scope of this problem.
Or, y'know, you could just accept the slim risk that you'll duplicate a GUID sometime before the heat death of the universe. Searching the list of pre-generated GUIDs is going to rapidly turn into a performance bottleneck.
Excessive troll is excessive.
My understanding is the the current date and time is incorporated into the GUID, so no matter what, the context in which this code is used could never have duplicates in the first place. To have a duplicate GUID basically requires two different apps (or threads) on the same machine create a GUID at the same time, and then also be very lucky (or unlucky).
But it is easier to write the code than to read documentation about GUIDs
Or you could, you know, use natural keys and avoid all this nonsense.
But that would be too easy, I guess.
Above all, it would not be enterprisey!
I hope that none of you ever have the joy of generating GUIDs in parallel using Oracle on AIX.
See Andy Hogg's excellent analysis at
Now that's the real WTF. That's also a reason one of the forums is the "I hate oracle club".
I see the problem is that GUIDs are only globally unique. This programmer obviously thought of poor Martians and other extraterrestrials forced to place interplanetary calls to have this fixed (the prices are just insane). On the other hand, he could simply use univerally unique UUIDs :-)
regular readers will now there's a perfectly simple to ensure your guid is really unique: just take an existing guid and swap the first 2 characters round
Re: GUGUID
2012-08-14 10:25 • by She sapped me of my precious bodily guids (unregistered)
GUIDs take up too much space. Use integers:
In fact, adding elaborate code like this INCREASES the chance of running into duplicate GUIDS enormously, as it raises the probability of having bugs in it.
Chance of running into a duplicate GUID ≈ chance of having a bug in your code that deterministically generates duplicate GUIDs.
You because you're not paranoid doesn't mean computers don't hate me!
It'll only compare to a small set of GUIDs the caller knows about, not to every other GUID ever issued on this planet.
So it's actually a LUGUID: Locally Unique GUID.
The number of random GUIDs (using version 4 which is most common now) there are 2^122 or about 5.3 * 10^36 values.
To put this into perspective the universe is about 4.6 * 10^17 seconds old, so if a device started calculating 11 billion billion GUIDs a second at the big bang, it would be running out soon.
I could calculate the chance of a collision, but I have better things to do :-)
usually, a system will have a lots of guids, tons of em.
Going through that array of guids each time one needs a new guid is going to eat some serious time. In a smaller system, that might be OK.
In a larger system. If you are adding a new guid pk's row to a table, it might be quicker to jst catch the duplicate pk error and re-assign the guid at that point.
TRWTF is that this code was written in the first place, it stinks of premature protection. I highly doubt there was an issue that prompted this code to be written.
The perpetrator of this code obviously doesn't understand GUIDs, they have a temporal component (time created), a spatial component (MAC address or similar unique number), a algorithm ID and a random component. (IIRC there may also be a small sequential component intended for GUIDS created at the same time, so even in the unlikely occurrence of a random numbers collision there is still a difference!)
I don't eat pancakes for dinner, you insensitive clod!
Another way of looking at it, is that there are apparently about 1.33 * 10^50 atoms in the whole planet, and if you were to break the planet down into chunks the size of a grain of sand (about 8 * 10^19 atoms each) you would have about 1.66 * 10^30 grains and could label each of them with a GUID and only use 1/300000th of a percent of the available ones.
Wow, just wow.
(Obligatory Eric Lippert link: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2010/03/22/socks-birthdays-and-hash-collisions.aspx)
That used to be the case, but according to Microsoft (and the same seems to apply to *nix systems too)
I don't think it's that bad of an idea. The birthday paradox combined with a shitty random number generator could easily result in collisions.
If they had used a more secure GUID they wouldn't have to worry about collisions:
Actually, not anymore. Now they are almost completely random.
I worked at a company where we actually got a duplicate that couldn't be explained any other way except that it was a generated duplicate. This is when I learned that the generation method had changed.
I'm having some problem understanding the code.
What if guid3 accidentally gets the same GUID as guid2. The loop first checks if guid3 is the same as guid1. It isn't. Then, it checks if guid3 is the same as guid2. Because it's the same, guid3 gets a new GUID, and the loop ends. But what if the second GUID that's assigned to guid3 is the same as guid1?
Shouldn't the method reloop everytime a new GUID is generated and assigned?
He should use a dictionary to increase performance over the .Any() call.
Running out already? Goodness! We need to sort this one out! Quick, where are my developers? All leave cancelled till you sort this out! GettinSadda has just told me the GUIDs are running out!
Not this shit again...
Not good enough. The list of GUIDs it checks against and adds to needs to be in the cloud so that no GUID ever used anywhere in the world/galaxy/universe is duplicate.
Re: GUGUID
2012-08-14 11:23 • by Recursive Reclusive (unregistered)
I believe there are two loops in there. An inner loop, "guids.Any(g => g == result)", that goes through all GUIDs and return true or false. And an other loop, "while", that continues until the inner loop return false.
In reality, the inner loop will always return false, so the while-loop is only executed once.
"struck by a meteor and lighting"
Lighting what?
As far as real WTFs go... the idea of insuring distinction is perhaps a bit OCD but not uncommon among us home grown developers, where college developers started with facts regarding probability and origins before moving on to code. This isn't a mistake I have made before, but there are times when my comfort level with how the target computer will react to my assumptions causes me insert additional functionality which is not likely to be needed. Either way, I can get behind anything that accounts for Murphy's Law, so although I believe that check to be a bit redundant or (as I said before) OCD, I wouldn't classify THAT part as entirely a WTF.
What I do see as a WTF is the architecture that this coder believes "necessitates" said functionality.This architecture is supporting 3 entities? Or even 3 million, it doesn't matter, though ParamArray may be a silly idea if it is.
If the construct is resident in memory and not serialized, then surely a static incriment structure would work fine. If it is serialized in RDBMS AND necessitates a Guid, then surely the database would be an ideal spot for producting the Guid, and preserving uniqueness. If it is serialized to a file, then would not a date stamp be enough?
My point is... I cannot picture an infrastructure where this implimentation would be useful or necessary.
Not so... :p
guids.Any will return true only if the newly created Guid is already in the ParamArray, and if so, creates a new one. It's basically like replicating SQL In Operator --
if @intVal in (1, 2, 3)
-- yielding true where @intVal is either 1, 2 or 3...
Re: GUGUID
2012-08-14 11:57 • by She sapped me of my precious bodily guids (unregistered)
Here, this is twice as secure (and a better troll):
Guid.NewGuid().ToString()Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + Guid.NewGuid().ToString()).GetHashCode()
Of course it is doing a linear search which ends up being O(N²) to create N guids, and I am assuming this is measured forever, so each time you create a new one you have to check every GUID ever previously created.
It would be interesting to know what they are creating a GUID for. A temp directory / filename is one thing I have used a GUID for. Also for a unique transaction ID in a client-server situation for messaging.
With the temp file, the filesystem will probably check its uniqueness for you. With the messaging system there is almost certainly some kind of lookup map you use because the GUID, which has the letters "ID" in it for a reason, acts as a unique "primary key" for the data underneath. So you will get some kind of error if it already exists without having to go through such a check.
Since you're driving, I would assume some kind of roadside lighting. Like a street lamp or billboard floodlight.
If you were struck by a meteor you probably would light.
I've achieved that aim several times, now I wish to get a comment with a blue background and appearing with the article.
Whatever the WTF of checking that a GUID generated really is unique, the method of doing so is definitely a WTF.
A GUID only really needs to be unique in its context too. If you use GUIDs in different contexts it doesn't really matter if they match. A bit like having the same primary key but for different database tables..

Carmelo Anthony shrugs off most criticism, but when the critique came from Bernard King, he noticed.
On King's twitter account a mild criticism appeared, urging Anthony to play more team ball. But as it gained attention, King claimed that the tweet wasn't his - rather coming from "an associate" he told Newsday - and he shut the account down. "I found out about the alleged Bernard King tweet this morning when I got to shootaround," Anthony said. "I didn't think too much about it. I know Bernard very well and I heard he was trying to reach out to me to let me know it wasn't something that he said, he just wanted to apologize. I didn't really pay too much any mind to that at all." Anthony also noticed that the MVP balloting in which he was given one first-place vote, from the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn - keeping LeBron James from being a unanimous choice. "As far as the guy in Boston, I don't know why he catch so much flak for that," Anthony said. "He has the right to vote for whoever he want. Lebron won the MVP. Why is everybody so mad that he didn't win in unanimously? Thank you."

Is There a Formula to Determine if a Sofa Will Fit in the Elevator?
Good Questions
Q: Ugh. Just moved across country.. and then found our sofa would not fit in the elevator nor the up the stairs (and taking the elevator ceiling out was not an option either). Now, I'm replacing the sofa and really paranoid that I'll make the same mistake.. YIKES!!
Scouring the internet, I'm seeing lots of measure this and that. but I'm trying to find the "formula" of how to measure the elevator clearance etc. Isn't there some sort of formula I could plug into Excel to do this??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
(That's our old sofa, sadly sitting on the loading dock of our apartment. Had to donate it. Ouch!)

I don't know, either, and will be watching here for suggestions.
Awful! Wasn't it an option to raise it outside the building and than pull it in througt a window? Or is that just a Dutch thing to do in these cases?
Hope you buy a great and fitting sofo now. I would definitely measure things around the house, AND your old sofa: where was is too big? How many centimeters? You migt get an idea of the required measurements for your new sofa that way...
I also have no idea what to measure and would love to hear the exact specifications.
Not only should you measure the elevator, but also the entry doors and any halls that may be narrow and even have 90 degree bends. Furniture seems to be getting bigger while these common spaces are trending smaller.
Measure all door frames and spaces that the sofa must pass through to get to your apartment... height and width (and depth of the elevator)...and right them all down for when you go sofa shopping. then, look for a sofa that will fit through those spaces with an inch or two to spare. Always check the return policy of the furniture store to be safe...if you measure wrong, it is always good to have option to return or exchange it if needed.
I'm so sorry that this happened to you!
I agree with Stinkycat... measure the internal dimensions of the internal lift carriage (the clear heights) as well as the dimensionsof your intended sofa. You might be able to have the sofa rest on one of the sides of the lift at an angle... but I would definitely look into getting your furniture company to arrange for a high-up (having it lifted from the street to your window)... you can't let the size of your lift determine your apartment's sofa!
How about some kind of sofa that can be brought up dismantled and then assembled in your home?
@Miami's Elaine - I was thinking IKEA, their sofas come in pieces that would fit in any but the smallest elevator.
Or maybe some nice chairs? A Daybed?
I feel your pain. I just moved into a new place and when my couch was delivered they couldn't get it through the front door because the stairwell is too narrow. It had to be sent back. Now I'm going on 6 weeks with nowhere to sit it in the living room except a folding chair. I'm too scared to attempt another furniture delivery!
I've heard of people lifting large pieces of furniture, such as sofas and grand pianos on top of the elevator. This would require your contacting the building's elevator maintenance firm and arranging for the service. Assuming you have a balcony with large access doors, or windows which may be removed or disassembled, you could hire a firm with a scissors lift, crane, or block and tackle to hoist your sofa into your home.
Most reputable furniture stores will take pieces of furniture back both during and after delivery, provided the piece was not a special order. If your sofa is special order, some retailers will for a fee, arrange for a test delivery of a similar sofa to assure that it will fit through doorways and elevators. The fee is normally the store's furniture delivery charge.
There are manufacturers of sofas specifically designed to be disassembled for delivery and reassembled in the home. Carlyle is one manufacturer in New York. There are also firms which will partially disassemble and reassemble conventional furniture for moving.
I am unaware of any specific formula for determining whether a sofa will fit through doorways and elevators. You simply have to measure both the sofa and the door frame dimensions. In delivering a sofa, the piece will either be brought through doorways upright, on its back, or vertically. The basic rule is that the height of the back of the sofa (floor to top) or the depth of its bottom (front to back), cannot exceed the minimum width of any doorframe. If the sofa has feet that are removable, their height may be deducted from the minimum dimension.
Good Luck!
Measuring is the best answer. It needs to fit the FRAME of the elevator as well as INSIDE the elevator. You also need to measure CLEARANCE for when you tilt/turn the sofa around any corners. (You should always ask your landlord if there is a larger service elevator and/or more clearance on the stairs).
Your backup option is to call a sofa dis-assember. (Yes, these exist. We have LOTS in NYC). He will come to your building (even in the middle of the night, like a locksmith) take apart your sofa out front (usually just the legs and/or back will do it) and then re-assemble it inside your apartment. It will cost you a few hundred $ but will save you purchasing a new sofa.
Buy some kind of sectional, even if it looks like a sofa when it's put together. Ikea isn't the only place for these.
Best way to be 99% sure . . . make a quick 3D model of the elevator and known furniture (and any other critical space). Glue/tape graph paper to cardstock or light cardboard (makes measuring/cutting easier). Grid can also be drawn on material manually. Assume 1 square = 1" or scale appropriate to project. Measure the interior space/doorframe of the elevator and cut cardstock to size (don't forget to cut out door opening). "Build" elevator and tape edges so that it can stand upright or fold flat. Repeat for known sofa/furniture measurements (create box based on max measurements). Set elevator on flat surface and manuever sofa model in elevator space. Does it fit in door, break plane of "roof", etc. Using this model you can adjust sofa measurements to find max dimensions (don't forget to allow for protective materials/wrappings. This can be used for tight hallways, corners and trucks as well. It takes about 15 min to make the models and you may feel a bit silly but it's well worth the effort. Good luck!
Yep, I was going to suggest the kind of diagram with cut-outs on graph paper that some people use before rearranging furniture inside their home. Because even if the dimensions of the sofa show that it would fit in the elevator, it might not "make the turn" to get inside. This has been our problem. The furniture store's delivery guys did some serious damage to the hallway and elevator. Getting them to pay for damages was a hassle.
Not all Ikea sofas come in pieces - as I learned the hard way when I bought one and yes, it fit through the elevetor, it just didn't fit through the corner between corridor and my apartment door.
Getting sofas in through the windows seems to be a European thing (in Spain at least it's normal), and in the US they just won't bother.
This is the main reason why I'm sticking with my old sofa till it falls apart - I dread finding a really great sofa, possibly having it custom made and then not fit. And if a corner or big sofa doesn't fit (which I don't think it will) then I'd rather not change what I currently have, because the alternative of 2 small sofas will just be disappointing.
Isn't that what our old friend Pythagorus taught us? a2 + b2 = c2? Am i remembering wrong?
Hmm... This is a good question. As a mathematician, here is my approach. Its a bit basic, but it'll give you a pretty close approximation. First, measure the inside of the elevator from floor to ceiling, and from the back of the elevator to just inside the doors. Then measure the width of the door opening.
When looking at a sofa, measure the length of the sofa diagonally from the bottom corner of one side to the top corner of the opposite side. This diagonal measurement must be smaller than the measurement of the height of the elevator. This way you can lead one end of the sofa into the elevator and slowly rotate it so it stands straight up on its arm. Measure the height of the sofa and it's depth. Compare these two numbers to the width of the door opening and depth of elevator. Match the larger of the two sofa measurements with the larger of the two elevator measurements; then compare the remaining measurements. The sofa measurements must be smaller than its corresponding elevator measurement.
It's a bit strange, but it's guaranteed to work!
Of course, the above measurement is for worst-case scenarios. Depending on wether or not you rotate left-to-right once inside the elevator you may be able to get a couple more inches (on the sofa). But then the measurements get really complex. As long as you follow above, you'll be able to rotate the sofa in such a way as to be able to get it in. Hope I helped!
I dont know about a formula, but how about asking your neighbours? If they were able to get a couch in, their couch must be small enough. They could probably give you tips as well.
Dont forget that a lot of couches have removable feet too!
I had a similar problem (sofa wouldn't fit in the front door around a tight corner). I was too paranoid about having the same problem again, so I bought a new sofa from Macy's and had it delivered--I wouldn't have to pay ANYTHING (i.e. no delivery fee, and they would refund the entire cost of the sofa) if they couldn't get it into my house. Luckily it fit!
CLEVERNESTER nailed it. Unless it will fit through the elevator door standing on its end, you will need to have enough clearance to stand it up in the elevator, which involves the diagonal measurement.
There is a funny Douglas Adams novel which includes a sofa getting stuck in a stairwell during time travel. But that won't help you.....
Not sure if you like the look, but we have LoveSac Sactionals and they have been amazing for our cross country moves. You just have to buy the bases and sides to configure whatever furniture you want...sofa, chair, sectional...and you can change your mind. Definitely fits in all elevators too.
I totally feel your pain. I had a tight turn into my apartment that was such a pain to get any sofa I liked through.I didnt want to call the SofaDoctor so this is why I bought a sofa from this company http://www.divon.com/ . It was either that or one from Ikea. My sofa is still going strong 6 years later.
i have moved a desk into an office building by tying it to below the elevator . we had to get the super involved and extra insurance( it was a commercial situation)but it worked like a dream.easy as pie !
FYI--.Macy's does have a generous return policy, but ONLY if it's NOT custom order. Then you lose $$ if you have to return it...
If you still have the sofa on your loading dock try calling DR. Sofa - I have had several clients use them for this exact thing and they are great, and as Lcraig said it's only a few hundred dollars. I've even heard about them removing a sofa arm and re sewing the fabric so it's impossible to tell it was ever removed. Far cheaper and less hassle than buying a new sofa. Best of luck!
I know this is an old post, but I figured I would chime in.
I used to work at a small, but successful, custom furniture company in San Francisco. San Francisco is one of the worst cities in the US for moving large pieces of furniture in and out of buildings.
the vast majority of the buildings are 2+ stories, but the vast majority of the buildings are also very old, designed and built during a time when modern conveniences and sizes were nonexistant.
Its significantly worse than NY or cities with large numbers of tall buildings because those areas typically abound with elevators of some kind, or at least stair wells that were designed to allow large objects through them.
one of the most important things about moving furniture is understanding technique.
1) when can you remove doors? removing a door is typically extremely simple. You just pop the hinge pins out (takes about 30 seconds) and move the door, or at most unscrew the hinges if you need that extra half inch
2) the vast majority of a Sofa's mass is in the cushions. The cushions are filled with high density foam and cotton, and that materials is wayyy heavier than the predominantly empty frame of the sofa (which is made out of a wood frame with fabric stretched over it and metal zig-zag shaped springs supporting the seat cusions).
remove the cushions before moving the sofa and you will have much more maneuverability as you will not have to work as hard.
3) people RARELY hoist sofas into windows. Even in SF that is an extreme specialty operation and none of the furniture stores here will do it .
you absolutely must hire a professional and they charge about as much as a new sofa (~$1,000 for a brand name 1 piece under 80 inch length)
its typically reserved for expensive antiques, pianos, etc. that are worth so much that the cost of moving is negligible in comparison.
4) remove the feet. they are typically screwed on. Even if they appear to be solidly attached, chances are the person who setup the sofa in the first place screwed them on tightly.
trust me, I did this for a living, and the feet are just screwed into a metal collar that has been specially attached to the frame..
Most sofas are designed to allow for the use of "movign feet" which are little plastic feet that won't scratch wood floors.
5) the key is: can you "rotate" the sofa around a constriction.
Doorframes are OK as long as you have space to tilt the sofa. Corners are OK as long as you have space to lift the sofa onto its end and "walk" it around the corner.
high bannisters with narrow staircases are OK, so long as you have space to lift the sofa over the bannister.
Most sofas can fit through most doorways by holding them with their backs pointed towards the floor (lengthwise).
Obviously OP tried this and failed, and I have been in situations where it has happened as well.
The point is that furniture moving may seem like a waste of money, but there is a great deal of technique involved.
sometimes its better to pay someone who already HAS screwed up a bunch of sofas and tried/failed to move things many many times before learning the correct way to do it.
I'm planning on buying a sofa in Ikea, but even that isn't sure to fit in.
Here's a picture where i tried to solve the problem, but I'm not there yet.
Mangler, are you still in SF? Would love to speak to you about a new sofa I'm thinking of buying. Since you have previous experience, are you available for consultation, to come and measure spaces, staircases, doorways, etc, to see if the new sofa will fit? Please let me know. You might be saving me a lot of time and money. Thanks!

RA or Osteoarthritis? How to Tell the Difference
When it comes to arthritis, one type definitely doesn't fit all. There are dozens of different variations of arthritis, but the two most common types are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid, affecting millions of people a year. What are the differences between the two types of arthritis, and how does your doctor know which one you have?
The main difference between osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis is that osteoarthritis is a disease caused by wear and tear while rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammation-based illness. Osteoarthritis involves a breakdown in the cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they meet to form a joint. This cartilage allows for easy and fluid movement, and when it wears away the joint becomes stiffer and more painful to move. Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is an autoimmune disorder that most often affects the small joints in the hands and feet. The inflammation attacks the joint linings and can cause painful swelling and may eventually result in permanent damage to the bones and joints.
Other differences between the two conditions:
- Osteoarthritis is much more common than rheumatoid arthritis.
- Osteoarthritis usually affects people 65 and older; rheumatoid arthritis is most commonly diagnosed between 40 and 60.
- Osteoarthritis attacks the joints; because it is inflammatory, rheumatoid arthritis may affect other parts of the body such as the heart, lungs, and kidneys.
- Osteoarthritis most often affects the lower back, hips, knees and feet, as well as the neck and fingers; rheumatoid arthritis goes for the small joints of the hands and feet.
- Osteoarthritis may affect just one hand or foot; rheumatoid arthritis sufferers often experience symptoms on both sides of their body. If the left hand hurts, often the right hand does also.
On the other hand, the diseases do have similarities. Many sufferers of both conditions report feeling particularly achy in the morning. There is a genetic component to both diseases, although osteoarthritis can also be brought on or worsened by being overweight or by leading an extremely active lifestyle.

Policy Overview
Implemented in 2008, the NIH Public Access Policy acts to ensure that the public has access to published results of NIH funded research. More specifically, the policy requires NIH funded investigators to "submit or have submitted for them to the National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central (PMC) an electronic version of their final, peer-reviewed manuscripts upon acceptance for publication, to be made publicly available no later than 12 months after the official date of publication" (http://publicaccess.nih.gov/policy.htm). The policy further requires submitted manuscripts to comply with citation guidelines.
Recent Changes to the Public Access Policy
In April, 2013, NIH will begin auditing PMC publications to ensure they are compliant with the NIH Public Access Policy. NIH will delay the processing of an investigator's non-competing continuation award (with a start date of July 1, 2013 or beyond) until it is demonstrated that all publications arising from that award are compliant (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-13-042.html).
Managing Publication Compliance with My NCBI
Fortunately, tools are available to assist investigators with publication compliance. My NCBI is a publication database developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information that can be used to manage publication compliance. Within My NCBI, investigators can use the My Bibliography to list all associated NIH sponsored publications. My Bibliography will then indicate the compliance status of those publications so that investigators can correct any instances of non-compliance (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK53595/#mybibliography.Managing_Compliance_to_th).
NIH Research Performance Progress Report (RPPR) and the Role of My NCBI
Many investigators are likely familiar with the PHS 2590, eSNAP and PHS 426-9 used for progress reporting in the non-competing award process. NIH, however, is in the process of transitioning from these formats to the RPPR. Once the transition is fully implemented, progress reports will need to be submitted electronically through the NIH RPPR module in eRA Commons. In preparing the RPPR, investigators will need to use My NCBI to enter publications onto progress reports. Publications can be associated electronically using the RPPR or included in the PHS 2590 using the My NCBI generated compliance report (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-13-042.html).
As a cautionary measure, the RPPR will inform investigators if associated publications are not in compliance with the Public Access Policy by generating a warning message. If the RPPR is then submitted with non-compliant publications, an automated email will generate, and investigators will be required to verify that all associated publications are in compliance with the Public Access Policy (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/rppr/rppr_instruction_guide.pdf).
RPPR with Non-Compliant Publications and the Progress Report Additional Materials (PRAM)
If the RPPR containing non-compliant publications has been submitted, investigators will receive an automated email indicating non-compliant publications. Investigators will then need to demonstrate publication compliance no later than two weeks prior to the start date of the next budget period. Investigators will use the PRAM feature in eRA Commons to respond to non-compliant publications. Note that NIH plans to expand the PRAM functionality in the future (http://grants.nih.gov/grants/rppr/rppr_instruction_guide.pdf).

As a moderator on Know Your Meme, I have seen KYM change hands from Rocketboom to Cheezburger. It wasn't a happy change, and people certainly aren't happy with it, but since I wasn't a mod back then and I didn't know better, I hoped it would be a good change, even though I doubted it. . The newer episodes, with Forest and Kristina, were admittedly not as good as the ones before, but it was still interesting nonetheless. I was glad that the video quality didn't go down drastically. The Cinnamon Challenge episode, the Philosoraptor episode, the Pedobear episode, the Supercut episode…… one by one, they proved my instincts wrong.
And then my worst nightmare came true.
First the Dolan episode. Then the Ermahgerd episode. Then finally, the epitome of bad KYM episodes, the Homestuck episode.
There were leaked pictures from Sarah and Forest. Murmurs on the IRC. The site was excited. The mods, me included, were a bit worried, but still anticipated eagerly. We did not have any say over the episode; only the KYM office knew the plot. And then we all saw it. The episode.
I do not read Homestuck. I see fanart/cosplay stuff posted in the IRC, DPF's occasional moans about dying characters, papaphill's reaction to a new update, and all those Nic Cage and Snoop references in Homestuck. I am not a reader of Homestuck, yet I find the fandom fascinating and interesting. I can name a few characters, seen a few ask blogs and under persuasion of DPF, managed to finish Problem Sleuth.
The entire episode added nothing to my knowledge of Homestuck. I could have learned more by Googling. The "Let us tell you about Homestuck" skit only made things worse; in essence, it's laughing at the Homestuck fandom, not realizing the effects it may cause. The comments only made it worse; lack of research in the plot itself, misuse of in-jokes, lack of proper attribution to pictures just to name a few. It tried too hard to be funny, only to come out as unfunny and misinformed.
I said to DPF, "tumblr will flip once they see this episode."
DPF replied, "ONLY tumblr?'
And he was right.
The backlash was terrible. The users were happy to see an episode about their favorite fandom, only to become disappointed in the contents. The Homestuckers were outraged at the portrayal of their fandom. The admins and mods, who reads Homestuck, were mad that the team didn't listen to the suggestions they threw out.
The worst part? I don't think the Cheezburger staff noticed.
No one was happy.
It was like Gimme Pizza again.
We're sorry.

STORRS, CT – The Rutgers women's soccer team (4-5, 0-2 BIG EAST) lost 2-0 at Connecticut (5-4, 2-1 BIG EAST) in BIG EAST Conference action Sept. 25 in Storrs, CT.
Kristen Graczyk, the 2003 BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, scored both goals for the Huskies, the first coming in the 16th minute and the second in the 77th minute.
"We were in the game and had chances to score," said fifth-year head coach Glenn Crooks. "Tara (Froehlich) hit the crossbar and Danae Risoli and Tara had another great opportunity in the first half. We had strong opportunities to score, but opportunities don't equal goals sometimes."
Sophomore Robyn Jones (Titusville, NJ) made three saves in goal for the Scarlet Knights (4-5).
Rutgers received votes in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA), Soccebuzz and SoccerTimes.com in this week's top 25 polls (Sept. 21). The Scarlet Knights were picked fifth by the NSCAA and sixth by Soccerbuzz in this week's Mid-Atlantic Region Polls. Connecticut was picked third by Soccerbuzz in the Northeast Region Poll.
Rutgers will return to Piscataway to host Monmouth Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7:00 p.m.
