My Girl and Her Shoesposted by Andrea | 03/21/2013
One of Nora's first words (after "no" of course) was "shoes".
She said it very clearly too — "sooos" — and please don't get "sooos" confused with "booos" (a.k.a. boots).
If you ask her where her shoes are, she quickly takes them off her feet to show you.
Nora LOVES her shoes!
Honestly, is it even possible for a 16-month old baby to understand shoes — and get extremely upset if I don't let her wear the exact pair of shoes she wants to wear at any given time?
Apparently so…
Thanks to generous grandmas, aunts, and hand-me-downs from friends, Nora has a pretty nice collection of shoes (there are several pairs not in the picture below!)
And she wears them ALL — even if they are so big that she trips when she walks.
I find Nora's infatuation with shoes to be somewhat hilarious, especially since Dave and I only have a few pairs that we wear all the time. Neither one of us has ever been shoe crazy or demonstrated any strong love of particular shoes.
I suppose this is just another one of those instances where her little personality is already shining through.
I'm sure people at the grocery store or the bank or the restaurant think I'm crazy for letting my little girl wear water shoes and sandals in the middle of winter (she does wear socks underneath, and she has to wear boots for playing in the snow), but I've already learned to pick my battles, and Nora's shoe choice is not something I'm willing to fight about.
In fact, we make it a little game every morning. I pick out her clothes and then she picks out her shoes. She excitedly says "SOOOS! SOOOS!" as I open her closet doors and lift her up so she can make her selection.
She's even realized where I keep the next size up shoes (in her dresser drawer) and sometimes, we spend a good 20 minutes (which is an eternity for her) trying on shoes and "marching" on the hard floors to hear the different noises each pair makes.
If she is happy in her too-big summer sandals, then that's what she wears. If she's happy wearing slippers to the store, or wearing winter boots inside, I just don't care!
In the broad scheme of life, her toddler shoe choices don't matter one tiny bit… however, I can't help but wonder what we might be up against when she's 16!
Happy weekend

haha! my 18 month old is the same!!! at daycare they tell me she spends alot of time trying on other kids shoes from the cubbies. I have no idea how they know what shoes they like to wear. She's not particular about clothes, but shoes yes. Just this morning I went to put on the green ones and she wouldn't have it. wanted the pink sandals. lol. oh my. and my husband and I only have running shoes!!

Surface Area Word Problems Study Guide
Introduction to Surface Area Word Problems
Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little; it is only its mathematical properties that we can discover.
This chapter will include details on common geometric solids and the use of the formulas needed to find the surface area of each figure. Strategies on solving word problems with surface area will also be modeled and explained.
Geometric Solids
Geometric solids are three-dimensional figures that are defined by the number of faces, edges, and vertices that they have.
Here are some important terms to know about geometric solids.
The surface area of a three-dimensional figure is the number of square units it takes to cover each face of the figure. You can think of it as the outer cover of the object.
Rectangular Prisms
A rectangular prism is a geometric solid that has a rectangle for each of the faces. There are three dimensions in this solid: a length, a width, and a height. This is shown in the following figure.
In a rectangular prism, each of the opposite faces is congruent. To find the surface area, find the area of three of the rectangular faces and multiply each by two to represent the side opposite. Then, add these values together. The formula is SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh where w is the width, l is the length, and h is the height of the prism.
What is the volume of a rectangular prism with a length of 5 m, a width of 6 m, and a height of 10 m?
Read and understand the question. This question is looking for the surface area of a rectangular prism. Each of the three dimensions is known.
Make a plan. Use the formula SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, and substitute the given values for the length, width, and height.
Carry out the plan. The formula becomes SA = 2(5)(6) + 2(5)(10) + 2(6)(10). Multiply to get SA = 60 + 100 + 120. Add to get a surface area of 280 m2.
Check your answer. Substitute the values into the formula again to doublecheck your solution. The formula SA = 2(5)(6) + 2(5)(10) + 2(6)(10) simplifies to 2(30) + 2(50) + 2(60) = 60 + 100 + 120 = 280. This answer is checking.
Surface area is a measure of area, so it is always calculated in square units.
A Special Prism: Cubes
A cube is a special type of rectangular prism. The faces of a cube are six congruent squares, as shown in the following figure.
The area of each face can be found by multiplying the length of each edge of the cube by itself. To find the surface area of a cube, find the area of one face and multiply this area by six to represent all of the faces. Therefore, the formula is SA = 6e2, where e is the length of an edge of the cube.

It seems the Liberal Democrats are gearing up to oppose the extradition of Richard O'Dwyer. Good. He shouldn't be extradited; it's not the asynchronous nature of the Anglo US extradition treaty which is the problem here. In order to be extradited, you need to have a case to answer that you have broken a serious law in both jurisdictions.
O'Dwyer ran a web site that published, it would seem, crowdsourced links to copyrighted entertainment content. This originally had a .net domain, and when this was seized by the US Customs, he transferred his site to the .cc top level domain. .cc does not require a US regulated registrar.
It is alleged that O'Dwyer's actions contravened the UK's Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988. The following section of the law is quoted in the Westminster Magistrates judgement, delivered by Judge Purdy sitting alone,
"A person who infringes copyright in a work by communicating the work in public
(a) in the course of business, or
(b) otherwise than in the course of business but to such an extent as to affect prejudicially the owner of the copyright commits an offence if he knows or has reason to believe that, by doing so he is infringing copyright in that work".
The Judge states that the EU's E-Commerce Directive creates a "mere conduit" defence for people who do not "initiate, select the receiver or select or modify the transmission". This is the defence successfully used by tv-links in the quoted case, R vs Rock & Overton. The judge in that case ruled that linking sites have a "mere conduit" defence. This case was reported widly and at Torrentfreak in an article entitled, TV-Links Triumphs With Landmark E-Commerce Directive Ruling
Judge Purdy in Westminster argues in his judgement that there are material differences,
- the level of control exercised by O'Dwyer
- the fact that he acknowledged that many of the links were copyright infringing,
- and repeats the US Government's lawyer's statement that O'Dwyer curated the membership of the site, constraining and enabling individuals to post links to the site. (The Judge uses the word vetted.)
But despite these material differences, if you agree they are material, how the judge gets from the precedent that it depends on,
"making available"
and the Rock & Overton, the TV Links case judgement, which clearly came down on the side that linking is legal because the linker does not "make available" content and gets to,

"I have endeavoured to weigh these subtle distinctions. The diagrams of how as a matter of electronic mechanics (if I may term it) the TVShack websites actually operated favour HHJ Ticehurst's restrictive construction. To my mind there is much in the distinction factually, always remembering these matters are allegations of conduct which a trial court alone can resolve – that Mr Jones contends between the instant matter and Rock & Overton. I also have in mind the mischief Parliament had in mind. Accordingly in my judgement I am satisfied

Sonia Sotomayor, what she actually said — that she was not exposed to these books in childhood because her parents were not native English speakers. Thanks, Pat Buchanan, for distorting this so frequently that even CNN has accepted your version of the facts. (via nerdshares) (via rosasparks) (via lauraf229)
I would take issue with Ms. Sotomayor on two points. First, I think she's mistaken if she thinks most of her fellow students had read these books. I give her very high marks for reading these books on her own during the summer "break" because she improved herself by doing so; many of her classmates surely failed to work at language and literature the way she was doing. Second, I wish she had not chosen the label "children's classics" to classify these works. While a child can "read the words" of Huckleberry Finn, for example, he or she most likely needs a parent or teacher to explain the depths of Twain's critique of a religious and racist society struggling with, for example, race relations. The United States would benefit if citizens of all ages were to read, discuss, and understand that book…the book Hemingway pointed to as the best book we'd had in America: "All American writing comes from that." At a lecture I attended with my then 13-year-old elder son, Saul Bellow fielded this question: "What should I buy my son for his 13th birthday?" Bellow responded that the member of the audience should read Huckleberry Finn along with his or her son. Anyway, only an "adult" who is poorly read fails to understand that a "children's classic" can be substantive, that the phrase "children's classic" does not signal something "childish."
As J. Alfred Prufrock might have said, had he been confident, had he been willing to eat a peach, had he summoned the strength to force the moment to its crisis and dared to photograph a few mermaids…
"I have seen the moment of my greatness, Flickr."
"I cut the radio off, crisscrossed the room, pausing for a moment, to turn on the black-and-white TV. Wagon Train was on. It seemed to be beaming in from some foreign country. I shut that off, too, and went into another room, a windowless one with a painted door—a dark cavern with a floor-to-ceiling library. I switched on the lamps. The place had an overpowering presence of literature and you couldn't help but lose your passion for dumbness."
—Bob Dylan, Chronicles: Volume One, p. 35.
On July 4, 1776, Congress completed editing Jefferson's Declaration of Independence by cutting 25% of it. And what did Jefferson call this edit? "Mutilations." (Information learned at The National Archives in Washington, D.C.)

"The independence of America, considered merely as a separation from England, would have been a matter of but little importance, had it not been accompanied by a revolution in the principles and practice of governments."
—Thomas Paine, 1792. (Copied off the wall at the Old State House in Boston, Massachusetts.)
Looking through "greatest x ever — you need to see x~!" lists. The Performing Arts Center at my university developed what they call a "Classic" 100:
John Haynes, executive director of the PAC, developed the series as a way of giving students an opportunity to develop a basic history of filmmaking throughout their four years at Notre Dame. 25 films of the 100 films will be shown each year, with the cycle repeating after the fourth year. [link]
So every undergraduate has a chance during their four years to see each of the films. I don't see the list posted anywhere but for my sake (I need to know how much money to budget for the theater next year) I emailed Jon Vickers (who created the list with Haynes in 2004) and asked for it. Of course, I've got all kinds of other questions that I'm sure I'll bother Mr. Vickers with later about how they developed this list. But for now, here it is. If someone yells at me, I'll take it down, but I don't think it's supposed to be a secret. I also believe they're in order of showing and not of importance (though year 1 film 1 looks pretty good in my estimations). I didn't see anything too out of the ordinary on it. I'll need to talk to someone about Solaris being left off. I'm glad Jaws is on it. Jaws is 106 on the theyshootpictures list. I actually saw Jaws for the first time just a couple months ago. I thought it was beautiful. Chief Martin Brody is the kind of action hero I could use some more of in my cinematic life. But now I'm just rambling. The list!

failbetter, I am impressed that Notre Dame has done this (or that certain few people there have seen to this project). It's so easy for a college or university to offer up the "movies" the students "want" to see (or think they want to see). And that desire to see those particular movies may merely be the result of heavy advertising directed toward a target audience by "Hollywood." Such thinking offers entertainment, but not art. One could quibble about certain films on the list, of course (for example, one MUST have Ingmar Bergman in the first year experience in college! I would have to place Bergman in every year!); but the primary point is that the makers of this list believe (know!) there are worthy films and care about the developing taste of the students at Notre Dame; the makers of this list want those students to be in the conversation concerning classic material that does not go out of style. I am heartened that your university has done this.

Power Surge: The Hidden Benefits of Exercise

Long-Term Benefits of Exercise
You're getting stronger. Those eight-pound weights don't feel quite as heavy, because your muscular endurance is starting to increase, Bryant says. Ten reps is no longer a struggle; you can now do 12 or 13.
FIT TIP: Once you can do 15 reps a set, switch to a weight that's two pounds heavier and go back to 10 reps (the last two should feel hard). Work your way up to 15 again and then repeat the process. By increasing the number of pounds you lift, you'll sculpt and strengthen better and faster.
You're blasting belly fat. After four weeks of regular workouts, your body is ditching flab and gaining muscle. Overweight people who took part in a four-week program of moderate aerobic exercise in an Australian study reduced ab fat by 12 percent.
FIT TIP: To trim your tummy, do fewer crunches and more planks: Begin on all fours, hands under shoulders, knees under hips, then lower forearms to floor and extend legs straight behind you, balancing on toes. Keeping abs engaged and back flat, hold for 30 seconds; do 10 reps three or four times a week. Limit crunches to no more than three sets of 15 at a time. Anything beyond that isn't doing you much good, experts say.
You've got more brainpower. Working out activates growth-stimulating proteins in the brain that may help form new cells there.
FIT TIP: The more challenging your workout, the stronger your mental muscle. Aim for 30 minutes of vigorous cardio at least three days a week.Within One Year of Regular Exercise...
Working out is way easier. "Your endurance and aerobic fitness can increase by up to 25 percent after eight to 12 weeks of regular training," Gordon says. "In a year your endurance can more than double."
Your heart rate is lower. Thanks to regular workouts, your heart is pumping more efficiently. For instance, if your initial resting heart rate was 80 beats a minute, it will have dropped to 70 or lower. The less work your heart has to do, the healthier you'll be.
You're a fat-melting machine. Your cells are now superefficient at breaking down fat and using it as fuel, Olson says. That means you're zapping more flab 24-7.
FIT TIP: To keep your metabolism stoked, turn up the intensity of your workouts to burn more fat and calories. Raise the incline on the treadmill, run up stairs or hills, crank the resistance on the stationary bike.
You've cut your cancer risk. In a study of more than 14,800 women, those who had the highest levels of aerobic fitness were 55 percent less likely to die from breast cancer than those who were sedentary. Women considered moderately fit had about a 33 percent lower risk of developing the disease. Exercise may also help protect against endometrial, lung, and ovarian cancer, researchers say.
You're adding years to your life.
Fitness buffs have better telomeres, the DNA that bookends our chromosomes and protects them from damage, which can slow the aging process, studies show.
You feel fantastic. Just four months of exercise is as good as prescription meds at boosting mood and reducing depression, according to a study at Duke University. Keep it up and not only will your life be longer, it will be happier, too!

Well I really find lots of benefits doing exercise and for me its like fueling my body to be physically and mentally fit. Also, I just want to add something (if in case some might find this post useful) � I recently read this page, Unlocking the Many Benefits of Fitness http://e1fit.com/articles/benefits-of-fitness/. Whereas you will find what are other benefits of having exercise, how exercise can prevents disease and reduce pain, what are ways how exercise can be more fun, etc..10/7/2012 09:10:16 PM Report Abuse

The Miami Heat went to the White House recently after winning their second consecutive NBA Championship. They gave President Obama a Heat jersey with the number 44 and "POTUS" on the back, an obvious reference to the nickname jerseys.
"It's always a humbling experience to be in the White House, to be able to visit the First Lady and the President and the wounded warriors for what they do for us," LeBron James said, via CSN Washington. "For us to continue our freedom, it's amazing and I'm happy to be part of it."
One unusual thing happened according to one NBC Correspondent. She says in a post on social media that the recently married James asked a girl for her number during the visit. She doesn't say whether or not he got it, but you'd think he wouldn't be turned down.
Though when I go to her Facebook page the post isn't there, it could've been deleted or because we aren't friends. Her Instagram account, where the post originated, has been changed to private and I can't see it there either.

Final mix is done
Black Veil Brides are ready to release their upcoming album IV this October. They already released the release date but now they've confirmed the disc is done after listening to the final mix and signing off on the last few details. Several of the band members took to their various social media accounts to proclaim their pride for the finished product. Fans can expect to pick up the new attempt October 28th.
Close to the top
Is the popularity of country music or Motley Crue? Either way, the compliation of country artists covering Motley Crue tunes cracked open on the US charts at No. 5 selling 31,000 copies in its first week. Nikki Sixx said that the compilation was made for country and rock fans and he thinks that diehard Crue fans will appreciate the country bumpkins take on some of Crue's most well known tunes.
Amy's solo tune
Amy Lee is taking some time for a solo release. Fans may notice a bit of a different side of the Evanescence singer as she put out a new electrnoica song titled "Push the Button". The song will be on the soundtrack for the film War Story which is out now. Lee worked with Dave Eggar on the track and said the film is very dark and introspective. As for her plans with Evanescence, Lee says she doesn't like to make predictions but she doesn't have plans in the foreseeable future to work with the band saying she needs to show some different sides of herself. Well, we're looking, so show us all the sides you want!
Nickleback details
The new Nickleback tune "Edge of a Revolution" is out now and so are details about the band's new album. Titled No Fixed Address the Canadian natives plan a November 4th release. This is the first release from the band under the Republic Records label. A hand written track list of the new album was posted on the band's Facebook page.

Rough Love: Thanks For the Threesome, Cosmo
Welcome to Rough Love, the column where we share your craziest, funniest, most embarrassing dating related stories. If you think you can top this batch of rough loving, submit your story straight to our Tumblr inbox.
I usually despise the women's magazines my girlfriend reads, with the lame tips about men and personal surveys — they never lead to anything worthwhile. However, I just received this text message from her: "I just took a sex quiz- and apparently I need to spice it up. If we have that 3some I get 5 points!" I suddenly have a change of heart and I am considering getting her a permanent, lifetime subscription to Cosmo, Glamour, Women's Health, and any others I can come across.
- Allen H
You're in a world of disappointment because this is probably a test to see how committed you are to her and only her. When you fail Cosmo probably suggest castration, public humiliation or even more evil was they suggested a devils three way and she's leaving up that huge detail.

The Arrabelle at Vail Square, A RockResort

How it Ranks: The Arrabelle at Vail Square, A RockResort ranks #4 out of 36 Vail Hotels based on an evaluation of expert ratings and awards, as well as user reviews. The hotel scored high enough to make the exclusive U.S. News list of the Best Hotels in the USA.
- #4 in Best Vail Hotels
- #11 in Best Colorado Hotels
- #1 in RockResorts
Our Take: Sitting on the western edge of Vail, The Arrabelle at Vail Square takes a different approach to ski lodging. Instead of forest-inspired colors with antler wall hangings, this member of the RockResort family boasts a European ambience, complete with cast-iron chandeliers and heavy marble columns. Still, some hints of a traditionally rustic atmosphere remain: Guests love the cozy throw blankets and fireplaces found in each guest room, while private balconies provide spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. When you're not on the slopes, indulge in a spa treatment, soak in the rooftop hot tub or enjoy a cocktail on the après-ski deck as you look out over Vail Square. When dinnertime rolls around, previous visitors highly recommend reserving a table at Tavern on the Square, saying that the homestyle comfort cuisine hits the spot after a long, snowy day.

This is really good! And making it the night before and serving it the next day works great, so big bonus. And it looks nice too. This would be great to serve for guests at any time of the year, it just works! I used ciabatta instead of baquette, I just like the idea of using Italian bread for crostini.

These delicious chocolate shortbread cookies are described at Bake or Break and their pictures can be seen at flickr.
|Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter/spray a 12″x8″ rimmed baking sheet. Line with parchment paper, letting it hang over the long sides.Whisk together flour, cocoa, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
Beat together butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. If you don't have superfine sugar, process granulated sugar in a food processor for 15 seconds. Add flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Spread dough into baking sheet. Chill dough in refrigerator or freezer for about 15 minutes or until firm. Prick dough all over with a fork. Bake for about 20 minutes or until firm. While still hot, cut into 4″x1″ pieces. A pizza cutter works wonderfully for this. Sprinkle top of shortbread with granulated sugar, covering completely. Cool completely in the pan.

Stuck for ideas for your extended project or investigation? Here are some ideas. Get into the habit of asking yourself some simple questions about your observations of the biology of the plants around you. It is quite likely that, sooner or later, one of your questions will turn into a good project.
This project starter is full of ideas to help you look at the medical effects of plant extracts, suitable for advanced higher biology investigations and extended project qualifications. An extract from the bark of Yew trees is used in the treatment of cancer as it has an inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth. Other conifers contain nti-bacterial agents which may be effective against MRSA.
What are the mechanisms behind bruising and browning of fruit, and how does it protect damaged plants against both bacterial and fungal disease? Making sure that food reaches the consumer in good condition is both big business and an environmental issue. In this project starter for Advanced Higher Biology Investigations and extended projects, you'll investigate the enzyme activity in plant tissues.
Are you starting your own extended project or Advanced Higher investigation? This short guide will help you choose a topic, research it, and get started
Duckweeds look like simple plants: small, green, and with no flowers. But this simplicity makes them ideal experimental organisms for labs, or for your own investigations. Using duckweeds, you can investigate a variety of environmental topics, including pollution, competition, and many more. This project starter contains ideas for investigating autolysis, suitable for Advanced Higher biology investigations or extended projects.
Have you cut open a freshly picked apple (or newly dug potato) and seen how quickly it goes brown? Then compare this with an apple or potato stored for several weeks. Which do you think goes brown more quickly? In the process of ripening, followed by senescence or spoilage, the activity of a range of different enzymes may change and indeed may be different in different fruits or vegetables. This offers possibilities for a wide range of enzyme-based investigations, suitable for AH investigations or extended projects.
When you're thinking about possible ideas for your extended project, the choice can seem overwhelming. We've put together a selection of ideas for topics to get you thinking, based on a research paper by a group of biologists and biochemists which identified a hundred important questions for research.
How many times do you see a product claiming to be antibacterial, antifungal or both? This project starter is full of ideas for Advanced Higher Biology investigations and Extended Projects, explaining how to go about testing the validity of these claims, and ideas for possible project titles.
Fruits evolved as a means of dispersing the offspring of the plant (the seeds) well away from the parent plant, by tempting animals to eat the fruit. Sweetness and sourness is key to making sure that the fruit is eaten by the animals only when the seeds are ripe. This project starter includes ideas for Advanced Higher Biology investigations and extended projects on the levels of sweetness and sourness in fruit.
Have you thought about respiratory activity in fruits and vegetables after they have been harvested? This project starter looks at a variety of ways in which you can study the metabolic rate of plant tissues such as fruit and vegetables. Suitable for AH investigations or extended projects.

The franchised fast-food chicken chain had operated in Scotts Valley since 1974 when Nick Iuliano, a well-known businessman in the area, opened the store.
The store was remodeled within the last several years, but apparently was not profitable enough to keep open.
According to City of Scotts Valley records, Wall Management, Inc. in San Jose took ownership of the store in 2001.
Records from the United States Bankruptcy Division in San Jose show the management company appeared to be in Chapter 11 bankruptcy as of March 2010 with more than $1.9 million in debt, including more than $335,000 to Iuliano and $48,000 to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Iuliano appears to own the building and has put it up for lease.
The store, located on Mount Hermon Road was the only KFC in the valley. There are other franchised KFC's in Capitola and Aptos. A store on Mission Street in Santa Cruz closed more than a year ago.

As a kid, Jeff Weber was fascinated by the way things worked. "I was always tinkering—either building things or tearing them apart," he says. Watching his mechanical talents develop, his grandfather suggested that he consider becoming an industrial designer. Once he learned more, "I never really thought about doing anything else," recalls Weber. Today he uses his considerable talents to improve the human condition by designing products that enhance people's lives—at home and at work. "There should always be a human benefit associated with whatever it is we're designing," he explains. "It's all about the experience, stimulating a person's senses in a positive or beneficial way." While Weber's work includes a wide spectrum of products, he became interested in furniture design when he teamed up with Bill Stumpf, who worked with Herman Miller for 30 years. "Bill's design spirit will inspire all my future work," says Weber. One example is Stumpf's "uni-part" theory. "It says that all components of any given object must have a functional purpose as well as an aesthetic one," says Weber. "It's a fundamental principle we employ every day." In the studio, that philosophy means the design of an object, a building, or a service "is the connective tissue between people and the world. The quality of that design really dictates the quality of the user's experience and thus defines our existence." With an emphasis on results, an integral and important aspect in his design process is research. When designing Herman Miller's Embody chair, for example, Weber and the Herman Miller team spent nearly two years talking with experts in various fields of medicine, from specialists in upper-extremity conditions to optometrists and neurologists. It was all in an effort to gain a real understanding of what it takes "to support a body in space in a healthful way and enable motion at the same time," he says. "The human body is a constant source of inspiration for me," he continues. "Workplace demands and responsibilities may change, but the human element remains relatively the same. My challenge is always, 'How can I produce something that will actually improve that condition?' Comfort and health are like love and peace: can we ever have enough?" he ponders. Weber says the most satisfying part of his work is watching someone enjoying the final outcome of his efforts. "Seeing someone sitting in a chair and appreciating the logic and rationale behind it is very gratifying." He says he's finding this stage of his career to be especially energizing. "I've always believed that good design is a blend of art and science," he says. "To use that combination in ways that positively impact how people live and work is really exciting to me."

Chris from Florence, MA– Verified Buyer
Another Herman Miller Classic in the making... well designed, well made, contemporary without the strained novelty and most importantly...very affordable. However, the Spring Green looks more like a Nuclear Winter. Looks great in virtual world of online and in swatches, not so much in real world.
Perfect size, nice design
Jojo from New York, NY
I live in a one bedroom nyc apartment, so as you can imagine, the amount of space that something takes up is always an issue. I was looking for a good quality desk chair that wasn't too bulky and had a nice design. This chair fit all my needs. It's also very lightweight, extremely comfortable, and rolls nicely. I definitely recommend.
Another Herman Miller Winner!
Studio Assistant from Madison, WI– Verified Buyer

Contemporary and Confortable
gwpriester from Placitas, NM
We purchased six of these chairs in 2001-2002 in yellow, blue and red. The red has faded to a dull brown and the blue is starting to oxidize. We purchased six more after being assured by Modern Furniture that this problem has been fixed.
comfortable stylish desk chair
longwalker from north east– Verified Buyer
I have not had this chair for a very long time. The space is small and the chair doesn't take up a lot of visual room. The chair is comfortable, moves easily (I got an upgrade on the wheels) and has not marked our wood floors. No complaints.
Comfortable design, but...
gwpriester from Placitas, New Mexico USA
We purchased 6 of these chairs about 9 years ago as dining room chairs. They are extremely confortable, and compact. You can sit in them for hours and not feel uncomfortable and they accomodate large persons comfortably.
Herman Miller began in 1923 as a manufacturer of traditional residential furniture, became a leader in "modern" furniture in the 1930s and 1940s; developed lasting ties through the 1950s with legendary industrial designers who led the company in new directions; transformed the office furniture industry with the first panel system in the 1960s; invented and refined ergonomic work seating in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s; reinvented the geometry of systems furniture in 2000, and is today the second largest office furniture company with customers and locations around the world. Their history of employee participation and ownership and technological innovation has long roots and continues to grow. They have always worked hard to be serious about both people and business. They look at their primary goal as creating great places to work.
George Nelson laid out five tenets of Herman Miller's design philosophy 50 years ago:
While fashion and style have their place, the main criterion for a Herman Miller product has remained constant: Does it truly solve a problem that people care about in a way that improves upon other solutions, or pioneers a new and better answer altogether? The answer is Yes.

A defensive lineman from Florida that Georgia offered just last week committed to Florida State on Tuesday.
Lonnie Gosha, a 6-foot-3, 270-pound defensive lineman from Union County High School in Lake Butler, Fla., informed the Seminoles of his decision Tuesday night. He had several offers but said it came down to FSU, Georgia and Alabama.
"I just love all the coaches," Gosha told WarChant.com. "At Georgia I just really know Coach [Mark] Richt and I met the other coaches, like Coach [John] Lilly and Coach [Rodney] Garner. At Florida State, they spoke with me every day and checked up on me and I just feel like I know the entire staff there. I also like it because my mom can come and see me play."
Gosha still plans to attend Alabama's A-Day spring game in Tuscaloosa on April 17 but was otherwise done with recruiting.
Gosha is the Seminoles' 12th commitment and follows Southwest DeKalb's Terrance Smith, who became No. 11 on Sunday. FSU currently has room for only 12 players next season unless attrition allows room for more.

My favorite 3 teams are Bama of course and the seminoles and the dawgs because of my dad. I would be in football heaven if the 3 schools offered my child or relative. Andrew Zoe is the high school
coach of the kid and if Bama really wanted him that bad I bet he would go to Alabama in a New York
second!! RTR

As a UGA fan I hate when UGA make stupid comments. It's true that UGA has tougher standards than FSU for athletes, but there is NO WAY anyone can know if this would have been a factor in this kid's case, which makes it a petty and unfair personal attack in my opinion.
As to the Bamafan's delusions that they would get every kid they really want. Par for the course.
And Art, the spear will be back when you win some games. Recruiting well doesn't always equal winning, although it seems you guys are in fact recruiting well. Playing in that crap conference doesn't hurt your odds at winning either.

Bill, thanks for being a responsible fan! I wish more dudes like you would be on here, calling out stupid fans on your own side. Of course, I totally disagree with the crap conference part. GT's division, the ACCC, had 3 top-25 teams. The SECE had only 1. I'm not saying we're the SEC, but I wouldn't say crappy either.

Bill in Atlanta Andrew Zoe was the Bama qb in 98-01 and I think he would steer the kid to Bama if it was left up to him. The kid made a good decision and wish him good luck in the future. RTR

A side note…Many of the state schools in Florida have seen their standards for admission increase due to the Bright Futures Scholarship. It is similar to the Hope scholarship here in Georgia, which, if I'm not mistaken greatly increased the standards for UGA….while this has nothing to do with recruiting I think it needed to be clarified. Florida State just keeps rolling in these recruits, hopefully they all stick with us!
March 31st, 2010
7:55 am
A couple of thoughts on committed recruits at this time….
1. They are not binding until next February.
2. A full season of football will take place before that time.
3. Grantham's defense will likely open more than a few eyes between now and signing day.
Duh-Rick was in the fold until signing day last year. Don't get too worked up about commitments this far in advance.

theres no comparison between playing at uga and fsu. fsu is totally a better place to go to school as an athlete. check out the seminole facilities sometime, idiot dogg fans. downside is getting azzwhooping by uf but doggs are used to that.

Boy oh Boy nAthens, don't be so negative and idiotic by saying "another one bypasses the dawgs"…The kid made a decision that was best for him which doesn't have anything to do with what Coach Richt did or didn't do…My gosh do you think we will get every kid that has a interes in the dawgs…Did you read the kids comments..He made a tough decision and chose what was best for him and his family…Do you not get this or are you so caught up in your negative comments against the dawgs that you can't help yourself…Your comments on recruits and others who post about what teams lost which kid or not just shows how little you know..Does it say anything about Saban because he didn't committ there…Wake up and use your head before posting negative comments that make little or no sense…

Flo-ri-duh When you play FSU and Miami then you can talk. FSU amd Miami are getting LOADED now it is up to coaching. With Bobby not being a puppet FSU is now totally under new management for sure. Miami got rid of that great SEC QB/ OC Patric Nix and were much inproved last year. What 3 lil sisters of the blind does UF have for their OOC games this year? FSU: Samford because of Bowden, Oklahoma, BYU, and Gators. UF: Miami(OH), USF, App State, and FSU.
March 31st, 2010

Tokyo Jacket, perhaps I was being a bit harsh. Despite what some would say the ACC was in fact a slightly better conference than the Mountain West last year. Facts are facts. (Seriously…I thought the ACC would be almost on par with the SEC when it expanded but so far it just hasn't happened. Things could change of course, but as of now the ACC is clearly at best the 4th best.
As to the acceptance at UGA, I'm only referring to athletes and I'm not trying to compare UGA to Northwestern or Stanford, nor am I trying to disparage FSU (who I like and respect). While we all know what the NCAA minimum requirements are, we don't know exactly how each school treats the rules and what other rules they may have internally. What we do know is that plenty of players who accepted offers to UGA ended up at comparable level BCS programs due to their being turned down by whatever committee has the ultimate say at UGA. Part of me is happy to have the higher standards but the other part wishes we could play by the same exact rules as our direct competition. (If I had to pick I'd take the way we do it fwiw and I wish everyone else would do the same.)

It's refreshing to have a coaching staff that evaluates talent early, goes after the guys they want that fit their system, and then closes before everyone else jumps on board. At the FSU spring game another commit will have some people here in Atl crying. Can't wait till everyone else finds out…
March 31st, 2010

Anyone who has read or even taken the final exam offered by Georgia would laugh at any comment about UGA having any standards whatsoever!!! Am I the only one that actually was curious and took the exam? Google UGA's basketball exam by Coach Harrick, Jr.. Shoot atleast FSU's finals were hard enough that a school administrator had to take the exams for the athletes! At UGA they simply give pre-K level exams!
March 31st, 2010
10:48 am
FSU is certainly on a roll. Dawg fans seem to take these things to personal, like it's an affront that a kid wants to go somewhere else besides UGA. UGA is a fine school, but FSU is on par with them. They have a new staff that are all great recruiters and all are on the same page. UGA might have a great staff, but they just seem to individual talents, not a team like FSU's.

I have no idea what your last sentence means. I think FSU is on the way back up, which isn't a surprise. The surprise is that in a talent-rich state like Florida, they were so average for so long.

Big Dawg-
I was an athlete and took some exams… none of which were gimmes (majored in MIS). By the way… anyone who actually went to the college knows that there isn't a single final exam for all of the students at the university. Judging the fact that you never went to college… I'd guess all of those "dumb" football players are much smarter than you'll ever be. Good luck scalping tickets this year.
March 31st, 2010
12:21 pm
Andrew Zow wasn't treated that well when he was at Alabama. He was clearly the best QB and actually could have been an NFL backup QB for a few years … wasn't that tall and didn't have the best arm but had good mobility and was very accurate. A lot better than McElroy or John Parker Wilson I will tell you that.
But … Zow was from Jacksonville. A Florida kid. EVERYONE wanted to see "the #1 high school QB from the state of Alabama" Tyler Watts play. So Zow had to be pushed to the side for a clearly inferior player. Which is, of course, why Zow is coaching high school football right now. (Tyler Watts … making a ton of money as a "motivational speaker.") So, don't be shocked if steering kids to Alabama isn't high on Zow's list of priorities right now. If anything, Zow has more to gain by sending kids to the in-state schools, because one of those is far more likely to bring him onto their coaching staff than Alabama is. For instance, Dameyune Craig, who was the QB at Auburn while Zow was at Alabama, is now an assistant coach at FSU.

Dawg fans:
Don't be shocked by losing DL recruits. Most kids would rather be a DL in a 4-3 scheme than in a 3-4 scheme because A) playing 2 gap is much harder than playing 1 gap and B) DLs put up more stats in the 4-3, especially the DEs. Also, what the 3-4 DLs do in college often doesn't translate well to what the 4-3 DLs do in the NFL. That's why Terrance Cody is being looked at as a 2nd and possibly 3rd round draft pick despite being a 2 time All-American … no one knows if he can rush the passer good enough to be a 1st round pick at DT in a 4-3 defense because he never did it in college. So he will either be a 3-4 NT or the run stopping tackle in a 4-3 that comes out of the game on passing downs. And the DEs in 3-4 defenses have just as much trouble moving to the NFL, because their roles are totally different from the pass rushing DEs in the 4-3 NFL defenses. So, where running a 3-4 defense should help the Dogs' recruiting is at LB, not DL.
And as far as FSU goes in general … don't look at them as an ACC program anymore. Bobby Bowden, Mickey Andrews, Chuck Amato … all those guys are gone. Jimbo Fisher, the longtime SEC assistant at places like LSU and Auburn, is now running things, and while he has some FSU grads on the roster, he is basically building FSU like an SEC team. They will recruit like an SEC team (former Auburn QB Dameyune Craig is their recruiting coordinator) and play like one. The other ACC schools had better catch up in a hurry.
March 31st, 2010

Consider yourself lucky that UGA was ever in the running for a top out of state player like this to begin with. Goodness, a little perspective here PLEASE.

Excuse me but if I remember right Jawja got it's head coach from the ACC.
And while in the ACC he was only good enough to be an assistant coach.

2:12 pm
This kid was either a Nole or a Gator all the way, and the Gators have no openings (he admitted that the Gator coaches stopped recruiting him even though he lives just up the road from the Gainesville campus) for a DL right now. Not a need with the young, talented DL on the roster and the recruits that are coming in this year. Glad he will be a Nole and will be toasted Gator meat for the next 4 years.
March 31st, 2010
2:18 pm
Garald…good point about recruits not wanting to go to a team that plays defense mostly in the 3-4. Harder for DTs and limits their potential playing time in the scheme. The Gators use the 3-5 but mainly use 4 down linemen sets. The DC that came from Miami and then left was going to go mostly with the 3-4 and I was glad he left to go back to the pros. Hey, DL recuit, come to Georgia. We only play one DT in our defensive scheme. That means you have less chance to play, will get beat up more, you will make less tackles, and you will wear down before you get a chance to go to the pros. Yep, come to Georgia and play DT. NO THANKS.
March 31st, 2010
2:22 pm
John…interesting "a team like FSUs"…are you trying to say that FSU possesses "a team approach." Don't think so…at least not in the last 5 years, dude. FSU has been one of the worst "teams" in college football recently….all about the individuals on that "team." Wake up, dude. Maybe your new coach will change that…but hasn't he really been in charge the last 2 or 3 years already?
March 31st, 2010
2:27 pm
Again true to continued inside knowlledge, if he didn't go to the gators then they didn't want him or didn't have a place for him…Amazing how many atheletes that don't sign or committ to the gators were not being recruited anyway…You may be right on the reason here, but just can't help that this seems to be the case when the gators are recruiting or not recruiiting a kid…"Gator meat for the next 4 years", sounds like sour grapes to me…What about it Seminoles, what do you think?
March 31st, 2010
2:34 pm
I'm not a FSU fan by any means, but i do respect your program, i hope that FSU can turn the tables on the gators, and when it does happen, and it will, you will have plenty of people on here who will cheer with you..
March 31st, 2010
4:53 pm
dawgster…just quoting the kid about "the Gator coaches stopped recruiting me and the FSU coaches called or texted me every day." It is what the kid said in the papers in Florida, not inside information. The Dawgs were never seriously in the picture either because of the 3-4 defense they are now running. If you had to go in against these young kids at DT: Hunter (Soph), Ealey (Fr), Floyd (Fr), Orr (Fr), Okine (Soph)…and that's not counting the Jr and Sr DL on the roster…would you want to be a Gator or a Nole DL at this time??? No brainer for the kid.
March 31st, 2010
4:56 pm
dawgster…just like the Dawgs turning the tables on the Gators for the last twenty years…yep…gonna happen some day….especially in the spring and summer…it happens every year. Unfortunately for you, it seldom happens in the fall when it actually counts. But you Dawg and Nole fans….keep the faith. That is what good fans do. But reality must bite for you.
March 31st, 2010
5:00 pm
Dawgster….here is the kid's actual comment in the Gainesville Sun:
"It was cool (to be recruited by Florida), but it seemed like Florida already had the players that they wanted and as they lose some, they get interested in others," Gosha said. "Florida State kept in contact and we just kept e-mailing each other and I kept calling them. I was always talking to coach (Jimbo) Fisher."
This kid simply has a better opportunity to play at "Free Shoes University"…I mean FSU.
March 31st, 2010
5:31 pm
For all you trying to say that it is easier to get into FSU than UGA you should look at who else offered him. Duke offered him as well so that should tell you how his grades are.
March 31st, 2010
5:43 pm
Best of luck to the young man, he's a good player. Just wish he liked orange and blue a little better. You can tell that FSU is being alot more aggressive in getting early commits under Fisher.
March 31st, 2010
7:08 pm
A Florida kid wanting to go to a Florida school. What a shocker. You can not be serious about insinuating that Ricth lost this kid. Come on please tell me that you aren't seriously going to blame Ricth. I take up for my dawg fans 99% of the time, but to blame Ricth for this kid deciding to stay in state is absolutely asinine.
I've gotten to the point to whenever a Bama fan post anything on this site I just laugh at the arrogance of those idiots. Some not all, but the majority.
Fla. State fans, you might want to keep that trap shut until you are, How do you say it? Oh yea, all the way back. You do still have to play them gators you know.
Good luck to what ever that you end up at young man.
March 31st, 2010
10:25 pm
He chose FSU because its the school closest to his home. He said it in his interview.
March 31st, 2010
10:38 pm
Can anyone on this blog tell me or help me to understand why any time a young athlete announces his career collegiate decision, we get individuals who try to tear in to the persons choice or character and they don't even know that person. Adults you should show more character and applauad these young men for a job well done. You can talk trash once the balls are on the fields and the kids are playing between the lines.

Too bad Jesus didn't say anything about not taking quotes out of context. You'll notice I did not say she was a hypocrite. I said:If you think your way of dealing with other people is pleasing to your God, and if you would be happy to see your children follow suit, then by all means continue. Otherwise you're just a petty hypocrite.
Creating a conscious machine would only add probability to the argument of design for no such sentient machine could have ever been possibly created on its own (by natural processes of evolution.)
The evolutionary arrival of a conscious machine will be the result of natural evolution where the role of man was that of a catalyst and not a creator.
But lets not deceive ourselves that man will tomorrow design a conscious machine. I suspect such a machine is inevitable but it will take man many attempts to make it work. The whole process will yet again be an evolutionary process, with many rejects and errors, in a very similar way that the electronic computer has evolved over the past 60 years and is still evolving.
There is a temptation to consider man as something special, but he is not. In terms of the evolutionary history of life man is a very recent arrival and the evolution of intelligence probably means that he will not stay as he is for very long since he is already starting to take control of the next stages in his own evolution, e.g. genetic engineering.
Even if the machine ever truly becomes conscious (not programmed to act consciously) then their would be another problem: how would consciousness be possible without a programmer?
(programmer: individual that places all the parts together and organized their harmonious interdependance and capability of recognition between each part)
The key components of the human brain are its ability to learn and adapt. The key components of an AI machine will have similar capabilities. The human brain comprises essentially a very simple mechanism, the neuron. But when 200 billion of them interact with each other and form patterns then what you see is consciousness. Note that all your brain patterns werent programmed; they were formed gradually over time from the time your brain first formed inside the womb. A new born baby has very few capabilities since those complex neural networks havent formed.
An AI machine only needs the essential learning seed for it to grow just like a human brain. It is the development of such seeds that are the focus of much development in the field of AI.
Thus the two problems still remain:
1- How was OUR consciousness 'made\originated'?
2- Is outside interference necessary to create such consciousness?
In the event of a conscious machine, we would not be able to answer any of these two questions in the favor in which you proclaim... it would certainly go in the opposite direction.

Multiple operative systems - Formatting
Less than 6 months ago I was installing Panda Security. After installation I was asked to restart. I did, and at desktop, only the background image was there. No taskbar, no icons. nothing. It also disabled chrome. After a lot of googling I reset the computer to factory settings, and everything got fine.
Two weeks later I installed Ubuntu, recommended by a hacker book (yes I was researching on that stuff).
Also recommended by that book was Backtrack. I installed it, but now it is being very inconvenient having to wait for the pc to run grub so I can select Windows 7.
I want to format C: once again. Will it erase every OS and grub in this computer? (That is my objective).
Thank you.

Yes...a format wipes the drive clean. I would, if you want to experiment with different OS's, suggest partitioning your HDD and install your experimental OS on the partition for dual boot set up. Or, even better install a 2nd HDD and install your experimental OS on that HDD and use F12 key to bring up the boot menu at the splash screen. If your mobo will allow it. My Asus M4N78 Pro wouldn't allow it but my Gigabyte GA-MA790X does. You might have to enable it in the BIOS.

text: The Geek Shall Inherit The Earth:How Joss Whedon (Finally) Won From GQ contributor Alex Pappademas's triumphant new profile of the man behind Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and now, at long last, The Avengers. (Oh and in case you're wondering: that rad illustration is by Cliff Chiang.) It is a true there-is-no-God injustice that it's taken this long for somebody to give Whedon, whose entire oeuvre is a study in how to make comic-bookish subject matter live and breathe realistically and emotionally on-screen, a big-ticket superhero movie to direct. He's come close, a few times. Most recently there was Wonder Woman. He was going to write and direct it for Joel Silver. The archetypal female-hero-worshipping auteur and the ultimate female superhero—perfect, right? Didn't happen. There were others, before that. A pre-Robert Downey Iron Man. And there was Batman. Don't even ask him about Batman. Okay, fine: It was a while ago, between the day-glo Joel Schumacher sequels and the Chris Nolan reboot (which Whedon loves, don't get him wrong.) There was a lot more, in Whedon's take, about the orphaned Bruce Wayne as a morbid, death-obsessed kid. There was a scene—Whedon used to well up, just thinking about it—where young Bruce tries to protect this girl from being bullied in an alley, an alley like the one his parents were murdered in. "And he's like this tiny 12-year-old who's about to get the shit kicked out of him. And then it cuts to Wayne Manor, and Alfred is running like something terrible has happened, and he finds Bruce, and he's back from the fight, and he's completely fine. And Bruce is like, 'I stopped them. I can stop them.' That was the moment for me. When he goes 'Oh, wait a minute; I can actually do something about this.' The moment he gets that purpose, instead of just sort of being overwhelmed by the grief of his parents' death." So he goes in and pitches this. He's on fire, practically shaking. "And the executive was looking at me like I was Agent Smith made of numbers. He wasn't seeing me at all. And I was driving back to work, and I was like, 'Why did I do that? Why did I get so invested in that Batman story? How much more evidence do I need that the machine doesn't care about my vision? And I got back to work and got a phone call that Firefly was cancelled. And I was like, 'It was a rhetorical question! It was not actually a request! Come on!'" When The Avengers came around, Whedon was coming off two canceled TV shows and a direct-to-the-Internet musical. I ask him if, given recent history, he would have hired himself to do the job. "Hell yeah," he says. "I'm a writer-director, and I adore comic books, and I tend to work fast—which, given their schedule and the fact that they didn't have a script, is useful." In fact, there was a script, by veteran superhero-movie scribe Zak Penn, whose association with Marvel's movie-verse goes back to 2006; he'll share a "story by" credit with Whedon on The Avengers. I gently bring this up. "There was a script," Whedon acknowledges. "There just wasn't a script I was going to film a word of." (Reached for comment, Penn says he was a little disappointed by Whedon's decision to take over. "We could have collaborated more, but that was not his choice. He wanted to do it his way, and I respect that. I mean, it's not like on the Hulk, where I got replaced by the lead actor," he says, referring to Edward Norton's infamous decision to install himself as lead screenwriter on that film. "That was an unusual one. This was more normal.") Whedon says he realized pretty quickly that if he was going to direct this thing, and the movie-star-heavy cast that came with it, he'd have to write it himself, too. "I needed that bedrock of certainty, so that when they asked me why something was [in the script], I could tell them exactly."

He then subscribed us to his email list and a link to all homes on the market in the community we were interested in. He was extremely patient with us and was very helpful in our buying process. He made sure that our buying experience was seamless, watching out for us the buyers.

Gary was a pleasure to work with. We met him in the spring of 2013 at several open houses. We were impressed that he remembered our names after first meeting us and that we were from Wisconsin. We were not ready to buy, but Gary agreed to email info on homes as they came on the market so that when we were ready we had great info to do our search. His response to our requests was excellent. He was always a professional. We would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

This is the second deal I have used Gary for after not being satisfied with another agent on a few deals. As an investor I was searching for someone like Gary. He is great and he ALWAYS answers his phone. The guy was "Johnny on the spot". Nice to finally find a true knowledgeable professional with years of experience and obvious love for his job.
Previous review from Tim M.
Gary is a very knowleldable straight forward agent. He held my hand from day one until the deal recorded. Best agent I have ever used.

We thought Gary was absolutely the best realtor we could have had. He gave 120% from the beginning to closing.

We came upon Gary by chance, but now would prefer him above all others. He is very literate, concise, and truthful. It was not unusual for us to open an email from him which he had prepared in the earliest of morning hours. Our questions received replies in a very prompt fashion, often carefully delineating the next steps in the process. He has an admirable attention to detail, cuts to the chase, and yet knows how to have a hearty laugh from time to time. He follows through on issues and is reliable, helpful, and understanding. As "snowbirds," we had some unusual questions about maintenance and security, and he had clear answers at the ready. We think he is our first friend in Arizona and will invite him for dinner when the boxes are gone. Thank you, Gary!

My husband and I have moved many times and have met many realtors and by far Gary is the most professional, compassionate, caring, and honest one we have ever met. He was prompt, patient, and totally understanding of my disabilities and assisted us with what had to be the fastest closing time in history. Not only is Gary a perfect Realtor but my husband and I will consider him a great friend. Thank You Gary!!!

During our entire process Gary displayed nothing less than total professionalism. We couldn't be more pleased with his on going thoroughness and willingness to first, find us a home and second, to close the deal of the home we finally found.

We met Gary via e-mail, looking for a "retirement/golf course nearby" home in the Tucson area..We live in Wisconsin, so most was handled by looking at homes meeting our criteria on the internet ...Gary was very good at knowing what we werer looking for , and kept within the parameters set...After a month of computer looking we went to Tucson with our list of the best 12...Gary took us to each home we asked to see, and on the next day, revisited 3 of them.He was more than available, but gave us the alone time and space needed also..He seemed to have very good instincts....Returned to wisconsin, and purchased a house without being present...Gary very professionally handled all of the transactions, on our behalf, to a successfull conclusion...

I have purchased 4 homes and conducted multiple real estate transactions for my firm. I am a senior financial officer of my corporation and I believe I have a good basis for evaluating the level of service I received during this purchase transaction. I found Gary's level of service to be excellent and exceeded my expectations. I will use him again if I have the opportunity to do so and will recommend him to my associates.

We met Gary a year ago through his very professional, golf-oriented website. He knows everything about golf and golf properties in Tucson! He had infinite patience in the house search as we Easterners groped with making a decision. When we returned this winter, Gary responded fully in helping us locate the right home. He juggled his schedule, was willing to put in all the effort needed and then some. His attention to detail through the offer and contract process was exceptional. I left the worry to him! And when the sale was concluded, he offered us additional assistance -- it is so nice to have a friend in Oro Valley. Thanks, Gary!
