Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa
by Gus Modern
At A Glance:
The mid-century inspired Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa takes many of the styling cues made famous by designers of the mid-century movement and places them seamlessly within our modern context. The Spencer Sofa features classic blind-tufted seat and back cushion upholstery with a stainless steel inset base for a subtle change of pace from the design norm. Spencer's chaise is detachable, can be switched side to side, and is perfect for social gatherings.
What's To Like:
- When we hear the name "Spencer," we think "dependable, good-looking, and well-informed." That's a good way to describe the Spencer Sofa. It's awfully sturdy, and has looks to die for. We're not sure where the "well-informed" part fits in.
- A more compact version of the Spencer Sofa, the Loft version has a detachable chaise that can be used as a loveseat to make this a versatile and comfortable addition to your space.
What's Not to Like:
The only downside of the Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa is its price. This kind of well-designed quality isn't cheap.
The Bottom Line:
The Spencer Loft Bisectional Sofa from Gus Modern is a solid choice - not just in terms of style but also in terms of construction, which is top notch.
- Dimensions: 31" h x 83" w x 34" d
- Mid-Century Modern style
- Chaise can be used as stand alone seating when separated from Sofa

Your Pregnancy: 5 Early Pregnancy Symptoms Most Women Deal With

Gerard Butler is a man of many talents — like acting, and singing, and cracking walnuts with his butt.
No, that wasn't a misprint. The thesp delighted a (seriously enthused) German audience on the popular show "Wetten, Dass…?" when he agreed to imitate a guest performer who had crushed a long line of walnuts using only his derriere.
The "Olympus Has Fallen" star was hesitant at first, but the show's host persisted. Eventually, Butler sucked it up and agreed to give it his best shot.
Gerard Butler (WireImage)
At this point in the taping, Butler was pretty pleased with himself — and can you blame him? But the host wasn't done with the star just yet.
During his interview on the couch, Butler somehow got into telling a story about a movie role that required him to pour ice down his pants. Of course, this gave the host a great idea. He presented Butler with a bucket of ice and asked him to reenact the scene!
Trying to backtrack, Butler explained that he had worn a wetsuit under his clothes during the shooting, but it was too late. The audience was cheering and Butler couldn't say no, so he did what any actor in his position would do.
He grabbed the bucket, unbuttoned his (extremely tight) black jeans, poured the ice into his pants, and took it like a champ.
The segment ended with Butler attempting to read something in German while the audience wailed with laughter. Under normal circumstances, that might be embarrassing for an international star, but by this point Butler was probably more concerned with getting to a hot bath.
No word yet on whether his nether regions have recovered, but something tells us he'll think twice before appearing on a German TV show again.

of automotive CEOs say customers have a 'significant' influence on their business strategy.
The automotive industry's global footprint is changing radically
Over the longer term, we expect to see rapid growth in emerging markets, with growth in mature markets stagnant or sluggish. Already, nearly as many automotive CEOs expect foreign markets to drive growth as are looking to increase at home. China and Brazil (together with the US) top the list of countries where automotive CEOs expect to grow this year.
Big shifts will be needed to build cars and their parts and components where they'll be sold. 42% of automotive CEOs actually expect their revenues in Western Europe to shrink this year, compared to just 22% across the total sample. But CEOs see strong prospects for revenue growth elsewhere, like in North America and Latin America. In our view automotive companies may still need to cut capacity in some mature markets, but increase it in others.
That's probably why manufacturing capacity is one of the top three investment priorities for 38% of automotive CEOs. China stands out. A full 62% of the automotive CEOs who expect China to be a key growth market say one of their top objectives there is building manufacturing capacity. That's far more than across the sample as a whole and reflects China's growing clout as the world's largest automotive market.
But raw materials shortages are looming
For one-third of automotive CEOs, another important reason to be in China is accessing raw materials or components. That's probably because China controls a large percentage of the world's rare minerals and metals, some of which are critical for manufacturing automotive parts and components. Finding alternatives to 'conflict minerals' – minerals or metals sourced from conflict-affected and high-risk areas – may also be on the minds of many sector executives. 72% of automotive CEOs see energy and raw materials costs as cause for concern this year, compared to just 52% of the total sample.
A smaller shoe-size will be required
There's considerable pressure from governments and consumers alike for automotive companies to reduce their environmental footprint. Half of automotive CEOs say they plan to intensify efforts to do just that over the next twelve months.
Working together on tomorrow's technologies
There are a whole range of new technologies which are reshaping the automotive industry, from electric vehicles and fuel cells to integrated in-vehicle electronics. So it's not surprising that 40% of automotive CEOs say they nurture many strategic initiatives, allowing the strongest to succeed, rather than focusing on just a few key plans.
Suppliers, OEMs and automotive retailers are already working together to develop the next generation of vehicles – and that's having an impact on how they run their organisations. Half of automotive CEOs say that supply chain partners have a significant influence on their business strategy.
While getting closer to customers
But when it comes to influencing company strategy, by far the most important stakeholders for automotive CEOs are customers. 86% say they have a significant influence on strategy. That's a risk – nearly half are concerned that shifts in consumer behavior could slow down growth – but it's an opportunity too. Consumers are now expecting far more from their vehicles – and companies that can deliver will have a competitive advantage. To understand them better, 45% of automotive CEOs are planning a major change in how they engage customers. For many social media is an important tool to reach out to customers and other stakeholders alike – 37% say they'll make major changes in engaging users of social media.
And looking for the people to make it all happen
To succeed, automotive companies will need to keep innovating. And that means finding and keeping the right people. Like their peers in other sectors, many sector CEOs worry that skills shortages could hamper growth. More than half don't think the government has been effective in helping create a skilled workforce, so they're taking the initiative. 63% of automotive CEOs say they'll increase their investments in creating and fostering a skilled workforce over the next three years.
"To say we're always well-prepared for changes may not be correct. We do our best to work through scenarios, opportunities and threats, and to prepare accordingly. In this respect, it is important to remain flexible, not dogmatic, and to work and think without taboos."
"Innovation is very important for us … because it is a way to differentiate ourselves. We need to be innovative."
"All stakeholders are important. First we think of customers and employees. Do we have the right people in the right jobs? Then we think of our customers, and we talked already of how important Asia has become, because of its high growth."
"We have to stay close to our key customers because those leaders are the ones who set the trends."
"If the re-industrialisation of the US really happens and continues, that could change the whole story, because the US is still the world's leading market."
"We train our people to be close to our customers so as not to miss new trends, and cooperate with our customers to bring them solutions."
"This is what we try to do: find new opportunities, new products, new businesses, new market segments – that's how we define innovation."

Recipe by Candice
"Dark chocolate cupcakes with a bite! Topped with Chili Cream Cheese Frosting. This recipe was inspired from a combination of recommendations from AR Buzzers. Thanks all! They were a huge hit at our annual Chili Cook-off. Many wanted THEM to be allowed as an entry. Add more chili and cayenne powder to taste. (IF YOU CAN TAKE IT!)"

1 (18.25 ounce) box
devil's food chocolate cake mix
1 1/2 teaspoons
ground ancho chile pepper
1/4 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cups
1/3 cup
vegetable oil
1 teaspoon
ground ancho chile pepper
1/8 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
4 cups
confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup
butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon
clear vanilla extract, or to taste
small dried red chiles
Fantastic!!! Love, love, LOVE this recipe! The ancho and cayenne work wonderfully with the richness of the devil's food cake. As written, I found it to have just the right amount of kick - not overwhelming at all. It really is a great 'adult' cupcake. The frosting is KILLER and compliments the cupcakes perfectly. I will definitely make these again. Thanks! :)
Made recipe exactly as stated (as much as I avoid using box mix because I hate the taste, I thought the spice would counteract the 'chemical' tones). Box mix just tastes like normal box chocolate cake, no spice tones to it, and the frosting tastes like spicy cream cheese. Maybe it's because I don't like cream cheese that much, but when I bit into a cupcake to try it I had to throw the rest out. If I were ever try to remake these, I'd make the cake from scratch and possibly double the spice, and either add a lot more powdered sugar or vanilla to counteract the strong cream cheese flavor of the frosting. Or I just won't try to make these again! Also only made around 15 cupcakes, same with the amount of frosting (might have been me over pouring into the paper cups though). Really disappointed and I'm almost ashamed to bring the rest into work since I've made a multitude of other recipes on this site for my coworkers, all of which were a hit. Hope this doesn't leave a bad taste for my baking in their mouth - live and learn!

WOW...these were AMAZING!!!! Made them exactly as written and feel there are no changes needed...just the right amount of 'heat', not a hot, spicy heat, just a warm heat that you can feel in the back of your throat....SO YUMMY! The icing is definately the star of these cupcakes, and would go great on a variety of cakes, or from a spoon as I was doing, lol. Even my little guy LOVED these, but he is partial to spicy foods, so I knew that he would be ablr to handle this. Can't wait to share these with my family and friends. Definate repeat recipe! Thanks for sharing. :)
This was quite interesting! I just made this for my husband & our neighbors whom were over.. These were a hit with all the guys for sure... very different, but worth a try.. IMO the frosting didn't look too appealing because of the spices, so I topped it with caramel sauce to help. Regardless, by the time everyone left they had eaten them all gone! They are an adult cupcake, I wouldn't recommend these for kids, unless they have a eclectic pallet & can tolerate heat.. I will note that I used tofutti non-dairy cream cheese & earth balance butter.
This is my recipe and I was requested to make 50 for an event in Eugene. I amped up the Ancho and Cayenne ground pepper per request to two teaspoons Ancho and 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne in the CC batter. Actually, I thought it tasted good and was still not too hot for this wimp. That's why I like this recipe. Make it as you like... less pepper powder or more. Of course I made some for hubby too! He liked the spicer version too.
Wonderful! My husband is in the Army and I made these for a bake sale at his work! Everyone loved them! They sold out in a flash! Will def make again!
Fantastic!!Made these according to the recipe as written mainly out of curiosity! WoW!!! They were a big hit at a party I had tonight. I made them as minature cupcakes and served them as a "Guess the ingredient " dish. Only one person out of 22 came up with the Ancho chili and cayenne pepper. Highly recommend this recipe.
Excellent recipe. I tasted the batter and loved it, I tasted the frosting which would have been delicious with no spices and decided to add more of each type of chili per personal taste. They are just delicious and I love how they look. Thank you for posting.

Astros Ticket Info
With a record of 51-111 last season, the Astros made the kind of history that no team wants to make, as they became the third team in Astros history to lose 100 plus games. The Astros roster is still among the youngest in the Bigs, so the team has plenty of growing up to do in its second year in the AL West. The Houston Astros move to the American League West division last season marked the start of a new era in Houston baseball. The Astros certainly won't be a favorite to make it to the World Series this season, but things are starting to turn around in Houston so now is the time to join in the action with Houston Astros baseball tickets.
The Astros dismissed manager Brad Mills late in '12 and Bo Porter took over the reigns for the Astros in '13. Porter certainly had his hands full last season and no one can blame him for the teams poor performance. Few experts picked the Astros to do much better than they did in '13. The good news about playing the Astros second season in the AL West is that their schedule offers plenty of chances to see cross-state rival Texas, as well as the always the star-studded lineup of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. You can get your Houston Astros baseball tickets right now from GoTickets.
Minute Maid Park, which formerly had the unfortunate name of Enron Field, is really a great place to watch a Major League Baseball game. The retractable roof stadium comes in handy when the Houston summers get too hot, but there are plenty of times when the roof will be open so that fans can enjoy the pleasant weather. Get your Houston Astros tickets today for all the games you want to see this season.
Gotickets.com has got you covered with tickets to every MLB game this year as well as 2015 World Series and MLB All Star Game tickets.

About Psychiatrists, meds and Psychiatric Nurses.
A Psychiatrist in Greenville is a qualified medical doctor who specializes in treating mental health issues and diagnosable disorders.
Greenville Psychiatrists differ from other mental health professionals in that they may prescribe medication or psychotropics. Psychiatrists may conduct physical examinations, order and interpret lab tests and brain image scans, such as CT scans, CAT Scans and MRIs.
Some psychiatric practitioners in Greenville specialize in age groups (so check for Greenville child psychiatrists or adolescent psychiatrists in Greenville). Those who work with the elderly are called geriatric psychiatrists or geropsychiatrists.
Other related specialties include psychopharmacology (certain states license Psychopharmacologists), psychiatric genetics and neuroimaging.
Psychiatric nurses in Greenville, or mental health nurses, specialize in nursing care for people with mental illness or mental distress. Greenville Psychiatric nurses receive training in psychological therapies (such as CBT), building therapeutic alliance with clients and dealing with challenging behavior. Importantly, they are trained to administer psychiatric medication (or 'psychiatric meds') and, in very limited ways, to prescribe meds.
Nurses monitor for side effects and responses to medical treatments and offer information on meds so that clients can make informed choices about their use.
How to find the right Psychiatrist?
If you're finding it difficult the find the right psychiatrist in Greenville, don't worry--you're not alone. Psychiatrists are highly specialized professionals. They tend to be busy--appointments can be short (e.g. 15 mins.)--and so as a potential client you can sometimes feel lost or confused. Don't let this deter you.
Begin first by checking the psychiatrists listed here nearest to you. If they are limited in number, expand out your search geographically (Broaden your Search) and see who's available further afield. Use the links in the left nav bar to find the relevant insurance, if you intend to use your health insurance to pay for the provider.

You will explore the Latin American mosaic in all its dimensions through Hispanic studies, history, government, sociology, women's studies and anthropology. If you want an immersion in a Latin American culture, the faculty will help you find a program abroad.
She's only a sophomore but Maggie Joyce '16 already has lined up a course of study and experiences that support an interest that traces back to high school – Latin America. She's mapped out a major, applied to study in Argentina and secured a summer internship at a think tank that deals with Latin American and U.S. policy.More >>
Joyce considered a Latin American studies minor, but to squeeze in everything she wanted to pursue she opted for an economics minor and a world politics major with a focus on Latin America. She's also taking Spanish language courses. The open curriculum at Hamilton College, she says, allowed her to follow all her interests.
In high school, Joyce did independent study on U.S. – Latin America relations, which got her pondering how, despite its proximity, people in the U.S. get relatively little exposure to Latin America. "I wondered why is that. It sort of fueled my interest," she says.
Gregory Jabaut '05 studied Spanish at Hamilton College and delved into Latin American studies, then followed that interest to the State University of New York, Albany, where he earned a master's degree in Latin American literature. From there, he got a job teaching Spanish at a school in Albany, became assistant head and then moved into a position as assistant director of international programs at Siena College.More >>
It's a job that doesn't feel like one, says Jabaut, who serves as the primary study abroad advisor on campus and facilitates international exchange partnerships all over the world.
At Hamilton, the complex political and socio-economic issues of Latin America, and in particular how they were presented in literature, grabbed his academic attention. Considering the continuing growth of the U.S. Latino/Hispanic population, he says, he figured he would be doing himself a professional and personal favor by better understanding Latin American cultures.
"Through coursework in sociology, literature, language, linguistics and history, among many others, I feel that I truly gained a balanced and comprehensive understanding of the Latin American experience. I also furthered my public speaking and writing abilities," he says.
Hamilton graduates who took Latin American studies courses are pursuing careers in a variety of fields, including:
