Google News is carrying various reports that Hamas is considering beginning to tall with/about Israel. For example - Ha'aretz "Haniyeh: Hamas won't cave in to external economic pressures" and the Globe and Mail. I'll believe it when I see it.

About Me
- Name: Leah
Welcome! This is a personal blog where I reflect on life, Judaism and my healing from an abusive childhood (including incest and other forms of abuse) and a bit of politics. If you are a victim/ survivor/ thriver, or a friend/ significant other/ spouse/ partner of one, or if you are looking for more information, read and comment below. I began this blog in June of 2003 when I was looking for a place to speak out and I found a community of friends and support. Come on in, ya'll.

Ask Question
Each Shevanti (Chrysanthemum) flower head is actually a cluster of many flowers, composed of a central group of short disk flowers surrounded by rings of longer ray flowers. Chrysanthemums are classified into nine categories according to the type and arrangement of disk and ray flowers - Incurved, Reflexed, Intermediate, Late Flowering Anemones, Singles, Pompons, Sprays, Spiders/Spoons/Quills, Charms and Cascades. For example, the 'reflexed' Chrysanthemum consists of ray flowers that curve downward into an umbrella shape; the 'quill' has tubular ray flowers that radiate from the center of the head.
Some Interesting Facts about Shevanti (Chrysanthemums)
- Shevanti (Chrysanthemums) are tropical flowers. Chrysanthemums were originally grown in the Eurasian region.
- Chrysanthemums belong to the Asteraceae (Compositae) family, which is one of the largest families of flowering plants with over 1,000 genera and about 20,000 species.
- The Chrysanthemum was brought to Japan by Buddhist monks in AD 400. Japanese emperors so loved the Chrysanthemum flower that they sat upon Chrysanthemum thrones. Chrysanthemums, kikus in Japanese, were featured on the Imperial Crest of Japan.
- Even today, a number of Japanese cities hold spectacular annual chrysanthemum exhibitions.
- Chrysanthemums are well suited for container gardening in patios.
- Chrysanthemum flavored tea is very popular and is used as a relaxant.

Fogel to Lead League as CEO
The American Symphony Orchestra League has appointed Henry Fogel as its new president and CEO, effective July 1, 2003. Fogel, who has headed the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association for eighteen years and has served as the League's board chairman since 2001, will fill the position left open with Charles Olton's retirement.
Last August, Fogel announced his decision to retire from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association at the end of the current season. In September, Olton announced that he would complete his tenure as president and CEO of the League in June 2003. A search was launched for Olton's successor, culminating in Fogel's selection. "Rather rarely in life, there are wonderful coincidences, when all the stars line up and the best result comes to pass quite naturally. This is one of those times," said Don Roth, chair of the League board's search committee and president and CEO of the Aspen Music Festival and School. "There could hardly be a more natural transition to new League leadership." Olton concurred, noting, "I've been lucky to work so closely with Henry during a remarkable period of growth for the League. I know it will continue to prosper under his guidance." Fogel, meanwhile, praised Olton's accomplishments as League president and CEO since 1997. "Chuck has strengthened the organization in so many ways," he said. "Such a solid foundation is an immense gift to his successor. I'm eager to build on the creativity and excellence that have become League hallmarks during Chuck's tenure."
Under Fogel's leadership since August 1985, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association's budget has more than tripled and its endowment has grown from $19 million to more than $160 million. The $120 million-dollar renovation and expansion of Orchestra Hall was also conceived and completed during his tenure. Fogel has served as executive director of the National Symphony Orchestra and orchestra manager of the New York Philharmonic. From 1963 to 1978, he was vice president and program director of Syracuse radio station WONO, where he conceived the first radio fund-raising marathon for an orchestra. He has since produced more than 100 radiothons for 26 different orchestras, while also hosting radio programs for Chicago station WFMT and its national radio network. Fogel has judged conducting competitions worldwide, and has served as a consultant to orchestras throughout the country.

Where did they build the new high school? It is hard to believe the "new" high school I graduated from in 1961 - my class was the first to graduate from that high school - has been replaced. Steve's class was the second to graduate from that high school. Did they tear that school down?
Did Steve go to 5th grade? The yucky milk at school was always gross. Having to drink that stuff is what taught me how to drink by holding my breath so I couldn't taste the town milk. Cooked milk and flush toilets - school really was an education!

Edward Alava – The DOG Store
By Isaiah Negron
New York City's premier dog groomer Edward Alava has redefined what it means to have your dog cared for and pampered, whether you're a proud "parent" or a celebrity like Blake Lively who brings her beloved Maltipoo Penny. From the age of 16 in his native San Francisco, Alava would drive to San Diego and back picking up rescue dogs to find good homes for them. "I was always dog crazy," he laughs. In 2009, his passion became his livelihood when he opened up The DOG Store on New York's Upper East Side. "I had no choice," Alava says. "I always knew this is what I wanted to do."

G1531, Reviewed October 1993
A pond or lake equipped with a bottom-withdrawal spillway will store the highest-quality water possible for a reservoir in a given location. This is desirable when the reservoir will provide water for municipalities, livestock, households, fish production, recreation, field or orchard spraying, trickle irrigation, or other uses requiring high-quality water. The bottom withdrawal spillway discharges most of the muddy inflow, which decreases the sedimentation rate and increases the useful life of a water reservoir. The water discharged will have a higher sediment and nutrient content than water from conventional surface-withdrawal spillways.
Figure 1Cross-sectional view of a bottom-withdrawal spillway installation.
Figure 2Cross-section of dam showing horizontal (H) and vertical (V) distances used to calculate the slopes of pipes (S) and the angle they form at the apex.
Detention structures with the bottom-withdrawal spillway are designed similarly to those with canopy or hood inlet spillways. The cross-section and construction of the embankment are the same. The procedure for determining the length and diameter of the principal spillway pipe is similar. You use anti-seep collars to increase the path of seepage along the pipe by at least 10 percent.
Alternative design procedures are described in the Natural Resources Conservation Service Engineering Field Manual. In Missouri, the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Cooperative Extension Service have a micro-computer program to design dams and spillways.
As the name implies, the bottom-withdrawal spillway removes the excess water (caused by storm runoff) from the bottom of the pond (or lake). Locating the discharge pipe inlet below 80 percent of the normal pool depth will usually preserve 96 percent of the clean water stored in the reservoir. Increasing the temporary storage volume (between the principal spillway and the emergency spillway) will decrease the loss of clean water through the emergency spillway.
The other advantage of having a deep intake is that few fish will be lost when it is located deeper than 8 feet because the deeper water is usually anoxic (without oxygen) during the warm months. This eliminates the need to fence in the fish. In addition, inlet clogging from floating debris is no longer a problem.
The outlet elbow, also unique to this spillway design, enhances the operational versatility of the spillway. It serves as an airlock, so siphoning begins at a lower water level. If the air vent is submerged, water turbulence in the pipe will entrain air and remove it from the pipe, causing siphoning until air enters the vent. Second, it serves as an excellent energy dissipater, preventing a deep "plunge pool." Third, it aerates the anoxic bottom water as it leaves the spillway.
You can proceed with spillway design after you have determined the water elevation, dam cross-section, and desired spillway discharge rate. Determine the required length of pipe graphically by plotting the dam cross-section and then scaling the length of pipe needed. An alternative method is to calculate the length, first by summing the net horizontal and vertical distances of each pipe and then by calculating the two diagonal lengths:
Total length = Lu + Ld = (Hu2 + Vu2)0.5 + (Hd2 + Vd2)0.5
Bend angle = tan-1(Vu/Hu) + tan-1(Vd/Hd)= tan-1(1/Su) + tan-1(1/Sd)
To construct the miter bend, cut the pipe at one-half the bend angle, roll the cut-off piece 180 degrees and then weld the pieces back together to form the bend. This miter bend may vary from 27 to 35 degrees (deflection angle). For example, if the slope of the upstream pipe is 2.5 to 1 and the slope of the downstream pipe is 7 to 1 (through the dam), the bend angle would be 30 degrees (21.8 + 8.1). You would cut the ends of the pipe at 15 degrees to form the 30-degree miter bend. If you use plastic pipe, one or two 22.5-degree elbows can be used to obtain the proper angle.
Table 1Pipe flow rates in CFS.
Using Bernoulli's equation: Q = A(64.4H)0.5/(1 + Km + KpL)0.5.Pipe flow for smooth steel pipe, n = 0.013, Km = Ke + Kb + Kelbow = 1.1 and length = 100 feet
The discharge through the spillway is affected by the pipe's diameter, length and roughness, and minor losses such as entrance, miter bend and discharge elbow losses. You can estimate the discharge from Table 1 or 2. If you use the previous example and assume Vu = Vd = 15 feet, then LU = 37.5 feet, Ld = 105 feet, and L = 142.5 feet. From Table 1, the discharge for a 6-inch smooth steel pipe (n = 0.013) with 15 feet of head would be 1.9 cfs (cubic feet per second) for 100 feet of pipe. The correction factor for 142.5 feet of pipe is 0.865 (by interpolation). Therefore, the discharge for 142.5 feet of 6-inch pipe is 1.9 x 0.865 = 1.64 cfs. If you need a larger discharge, you should select a larger pipe diameter. If you encounter conditions other than those assumed in Tables 1 and 2, refer to the following section, "Formulas for special cases," to compute the discharge.
Table 2Pipe flow rates in CFS.
Using Bernoulli's equation: Q = A(64.4H)0.5/(1 + Km + KpL)0.5.Pipe flow for corrugated pipe, n = 0.025, Km = Ke + Kb + Kelbow = 1.1 and length = 100 feet.
The primary purpose of the air vent is to stop the siphoning flow of the spillway when the water level reaches the desired level. The air vent can be fixed (for example, a hole in the apex of the pipe) or adjustable (for example, a short piece of pipe can be attached to the hole so that the pipe can rotate around the hole). The air vent is normally near the apex and above the normal pool level. You can make the air vent movable by using a threaded elbow, a union and an elbow, a friction-fit plastic elbow, or flexible tubing that will not collapse under a partial vacuum.
The diameter of the air vent should be at least 1/14 (7 percent) of the spillway pipe diameter. Protect the air vent opening by attaching a screen to it or placing it in a screened enclosure to prevent plugging by leaves, nuts or fish.
New ponds, as well as existing ponds, can be easily equipped with a bottom-withdrawal spillway system. The design of this spillway is similar to that of other spillway pipes. First, determine the elevations and physical layout. Then determine the pipe diameter needed for the required flow capacity. You can convert existing hood and canopy spillways to bottom-withdrawal spillways. By installing bottom-withdrawal spillways, ponds and reservoirs will last longer and provide clean water for many years to come.
For pipes with more than one miter bend or for a spillway with a bell-shaped entrance, you can more accurately calculate the discharge by using Bernoulli's equation:
Q = 8.025(A)(H)0.5 ÷ (1 + Km + KpL)0.5
Other minor friction losses in this spillway are caused by bends at the apex angle and the outlet elbow. Since this loss is dependent upon the roughness of the elbow or bend, it is easier (and more accurate) to calculate this loss as an equivalent length of pipe that is added to the actual total length of pipe before it is multiplied by Kp in the above equation.
The apex angle head losses are usually quite small since the angle will normally be from 27 to 35 degrees deflection. The losses for elbows that might be used for the apex angle of plastic pipe are also shown.
You can treat the outlet elbow in a similar fashion. You can keep the loss to a minimum if the relative radius, r/d, equals 2. The equivalent length, L/D, times the diameter in feet gives the equivalent length of pipe (in feet) to be added to the pipe's actual total length.
The head loss coefficients for circular pipes (Table 3) are multiplied by the sum of the actual pipe length plus the equivalent lengths caused by bends in the pipe.
If you join two kinds of pipe with different n values to fabricate the spillway, compute the modified flow rate, Qm in cfs, by the following equation:
Qm = 8.025(A)(H)0.5/(1 + Km + KnpLn + KopLo)0.5

Rated 4 out of 5 by BigTulle from pleased purchased this to wear with a big tulle skirt for a wedding. the cotton is nice and soft. to answer questions about the bottom, there is a snap closure and it's a thong. the back is not too low, so it's possible for less curvy girls to wear a strapless bra underneath. i was nervous that the model (who is six inches taller than me) also wore a size S, but this fits me well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leelee45 from Love Bebe's bodysuits! I love this bodysuit! It looks really sexy underneath a black pencil skirt with colored heels! :-) Bebe, keep these bodysuits coming (not just this one, but all styles!!). I love your bodysuits, because they look amazing under all types of skirts (and certain types of pants/jeans), and they really emphasize a small waist! Can you also make a "one shouldered" bodysuit in different colors? :-)

Historically, the Parliament that was opened on 16th September, 1875 to discuss the newly written constitution for the country seemed to have been ideated and modelled after the earlie Fakataha which has been a council of chiefs whose main task was to advise the king when he needed advice. Therefore, the Fakataha , met irregularly and it had nominal powers, if at all. It is also true that the idea of a Tongan parliament was not necessary for politial considerations such as members of parliament, as representatives of the chiefs and people, meeting regularly as an embodiment of the unity of the whole country. The creation of parliament, together with the constitution, was important also in order to safeguard Tonga's sovereignty. In this and in other matters, due credit must be given to Charles St Julian who was a law reporter for the Sysdney Morning Herald and Hawaiian Consul in Sydney, Australia. He, among other things, sent a copy of the Hawaiian Constitution of 1852 to King George Tupou I: its provisions, layout, text and so forth find corresponding similarities (in some cases, word for word) with the new Tongan Constitution.
The original parliament was composed of the: government - the premier, the treasure, minister for lands and minister for police; nine from Tonggo atapu, five from Ha'apai, four from Vava'u, one from and one from Niuafo'ou - who were appointed by the king for life; and twenty people's representatives elected along the same regional lines as nobles. They were elected by suffrage for a term of five years. The Speaker was appointed by the king. Parliament had the power to legislate, impeach, determine the amount of taxes, duties and licences; pass estimates of government expenditure; and discuss ammendments to the constitution except in areas where it did not have jurisdiction such as matters to do with succession to the throne. It also had some judicial responsibilities such as the right to determine the number of police courts and the frequency with which they could sit.
ne of the basic functions of modern parliaments is to ensure that societal interests and aspirations are integrated into its processes and considerations. This is done mainly through the idea and process of representation. Representation is one of the cornerstones of all parliamentary democracies. Put simply, representation is the aggregation of the electorate's interests which is represented by its election of a representative to speak and act on its behalf in particular against, and in collaboration with, other representatives of other electorates.
It is most likely the case that this kind of relationship between modern societies and their parliaments did not exist in 1875 Tonga. Although the population was quite small by modern standards, around 20,000, other factors made it difficult for people to understand or contribute to the creation of the constitution and parliament.

Strong fragrance, but not what I hoped
I had hoped Goldleaf would be a layered experience, as it touts several scents, including oak moss and rose. It smelled almost wholly of jasmine to me. And while the perfume of this candle is long and lasting, the bold and traditionally flowery aroma is too much for my taste.

Gold leaf Candle
Gold Leaf has been my favorite Thymes scent for almost twenty years. I have the perfume, room spray and diffuser, all of which are wonderful. I bought this candle to give a subtle scent to a guest room. When it is burning it doesn't smell like anything but a generic, flower scented candle. No Gold Leaf scent at all. When it isn't burning, the candle has no scent at all unless you stick your nose right into the candle. I bought based on reviews that said it scents a room even when not burning. This candle, sadly, does not. Perhaps it had been sitting in a warehouse for too long. I have ordered the Gold Leaf diffuser to scent the room instead.

After the previous modifications, our system is almost ready to use. Unfortunately there are still some pending details to be resolved.
The first problem is to achieve having every Xephyr screen properly placed (one display for every Xephyr). The current Xephyr version does not support the geometry parameter that most X applications include, so it is not possible to place the Xephyr window in the desired place (i.e. one Xephyr on every display).
To workaround this problem we can use some command line tools in order to place every Xephyr window just in the place where we want to have it. We will need the following packages: xwininfo, wmctrl. Install them with your favorite tool (synaptic, apt-get).
The next step is to modify the gdm.conf file in order to invoke a wrapping script when calling the gdm greeter.
In our example, we have the following script wrapper placed in /usr/sbin just as we did with the Xephyr wrapper (be sure to give the script execution permissions):
# /usr/sbin/Xephyr-login.sh
XEP=$(xwininfo -root -children -display :0 | grep "Xephyr on :1" --max-count=1)
echo XEP ${XEP} >> /tmp/logXephyr
set -- ${XEP}
DISPLAY=:0 wmctrl -i -r $1 -e 0,1280,0,-1,-1
# /usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter
In our particular case, we have tho displays at 1280x1024. Having the display resolutions hardcoded in such a script is very awful, so consider it just as a dirty and quick workaround to have things working. Experienced bash script coders with nicer solutions are welcome :-)
As we said before, you have to modify the /etc/gdm/gdm.conf file (the gdm greeter call) in order to call this script. The script will move one of the Xephyr sessions to the right display while maintaining the other on the left display.
# The greeter for attached (non-xdmcp) logins. Change gdmlogin to gdmgreeter
# to get the new graphical greeter.
# Greeter=/usr/lib/gdm/gdmgreeter
As you can see, when the greeter is expected to be invoked, the wrapper script (including greeter invocation) is executed instead.
The last comment is about the greeter. There is something wrong about screen size detection with the default gdm greeter (gdmgreeter). It always try to start at a resolution of 1600x1200, so we had to change to the old greeter (gdmlogin) which detects properly the screen resolutions of the Xephyr sessions.

Living Under Drones
- Artículos
Constant presence of CIA drones in Pakistan's tribal areas is having a massive effect on much of the civilian population. A study was made interviewing men, women and children are subjected to almost constant trauma. Many people are in constant fear of attack and have severe anxiety. They feel powerlessness, and suffer with insomnia and high levels of stress.
Out of the 130 people interviewed a shockingly high number of those eyewitnesses said that rescuers have been deliberately targeted by the CIA drones in the tribal areas. This new study heavily challenges the US government and its claims that very few civilians have died in CIA drone strikes. But there seems to be significant evidence to the contrary.
Psychiatrists and doctors report a deeply stressed population in parts of the tribal areas. In their ninth year of bombing, US drones now fly almost constantly over these rural towns. One psychiatrist told researchers that many of his patients are in constant fear that they might come under attack. Interviewees described emotional breakdowns, running indoors or hiding when drones appear above, fainting, nightmares and other intrusive thoughts, hyper startled reactions to loud noises, outbursts of anger or irritability, and loss of appetite and other physical symptoms. Interviewees also reported suffering from insomnia and other sleep disturbances, which medical health professionals in Pakistan stated were prevalent.
In total, more than 50 civilians are likely to have died in these three strikes alone, the report concludes. Anonymous US officials were still claiming recently that civilian deaths have only been in "single digits" during Obama's entire four years in office.
The NYU/ Stanford report also corroborates with a major Bureau investigation. They found that multiple CIA strikes between 2009 and summer 2011 had deliberately targeted rescuers and funeral-goers. These secondary strikes have discouraged average civilians from coming to one another's rescue. Hayatullah Ayoub Khan was driving in North Waziristan when the car ahead of him was damaged in a drone strike. The report says that as Khan approached on foot to see if he could help 'someone inside yelled that he should leave immediately because another missile would likely strike.' As he returned to his car, a second missile killed whoever had been inside.
A second man told researchers of an attack on the home of his in-laws: 'Other people came to check what had happened, they were looking for the children in the beds and then a second drone strike hit those people.'
The UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial killings, Professor Christof Heyns, recently described the deliberate targeting of civilian rescuers as 'a war crime.' It is crazy how the US government does not realize that killing civilians will cause hatred towards the US. The people of Pakistan involved in these attacks have grown to hate and fear the US. These war crimes will in turn convince many more Pakistanis to join militant organizations.

The Community College of Rhode Island will hold a grand information session geared toward potential adult students from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 12 at the Knight Campus, 400 East Ave., Warwick. If classes are canceled because of inclement weather that day, the event will be held at the same time on Tuesday, Feb. 26.
This is the first time the information session, which is geared toward adult learners who wish to attend CCRI but don't know where to start, will be held in Warwick. Advisers will be on hand to help prospective students with questions about their educational plan and career path; financial aid staff will help them determine how to pay for college; faculty members will discuss the more than 80 programs offered; and students and alumni will share their CCRI experiences. The college will waive its $20 application fee for those who apply that night.
"Whether it's to pursue a new profession, career advancement opportunities or personal enrichment, many people enroll in college later in life," said Walter Crocker, chairman of the CCRI President's Committee on the Adult Learner. "Often, students who have not been in the classroom for a number of years are nervous about returning to an academic setting. The Grand Information Session offers adults a welcoming environment and personalized services to enable them to establish an education plan, learn about financial aid and navigate through the application process."
Refreshments will be served. Space is limited. To reserve a spot, call 455-6011 or email email@example.com.

"We cannot just be a party that protects the rich," said Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal of his fellow Republicans. "The rich can protect themselves."
Only a few weeks after an electoral drubbing, three leading Republicans have settled on very similar accounts of what went wrong for their party. Jindal, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin are all talking about middle-class economic concerns. All three men seem to have realized that failing to address these concerns was the party's biggest mistake, and rectifying that mistake is now its biggest challenge.
Republicans have been vigorously debating the meaning of last month's election. Some argue that it wasn't a catastrophe requiring major change, just a setback. For them, the party's most urgent task is to refine its techniques for getting out the vote. Others say that the party needs to support comprehensive immigration reform to appeal to Hispanics. Still others counsel the party to be less conservative on moral issues. Some also say the party went astray by nominating a wealthy moderate, Mitt Romney, for president.
Economic message
Jindal, Rubio and Ryan, three of the top potential Republican candidates for president in 2016, have not explicitly rejected any of these theories. They may believe some of them, at least a bit. Rubio, for example, has been trying to change the party's approach to immigration. But their statements since the election have concentrated on strengthening the party's economic message — which is the true root of its electoral problems.
Rubio and Ryan devoted their speeches at the Jack Kemp Foundation's annual dinner last week to the topics of upward mobility and the American dream. Ryan, while praising Romney, distanced himself from his former running mate's "47 percent" gaffe by saying, "We must speak to the aspirations and anxieties of every American."
Republicans are good at representing the concerns of entrepreneurs, he said, but fall short in explaining how they would strengthen families and communities and help people lift themselves out of poverty.
Rubio spoke more specifically about middle-class anxieties. He called for revamping federal aid policies to make it easier for people to get an education without taking "the traditional four-year college route."
He also touted his bipartisan legislation on college aid: "Before they take out a student loan, let's make sure students and their parents know how long it will take them to complete their education, what their likelihood of completion is, how much they can expect to make after graduation, and how much their monthly payment on the loan is going to be."
'Aspirational party'
Jindal has been making the same basic case in interviews. He complained after the election that too many voters associate Republicans with big business. He told me recently that "we were the party that opposed the president instead of providing constructive alternatives." Although he dislikes the health care law President Barack Obama is putting in place, he also said, "Americans are rightly worried about rising health care costs."
Even the language the three men are using these days is similar. "We need to show folks that we are an aspirational party," Jindal said. "We need to be the party that represents the upward mobility," a party that believes "every single American has the same American dream, and we want to help them."
Liberal commentators have pointed out that this rhetoric hasn't been matched by much in the way of innovative new policies. None of these men has proposed that Republicans push for a larger child tax credit with the same passion they bring to lowering taxes on capital, for example. But they are heading in the right direction.
Another complaint from some of the liberal reviewers — that these Republicans still hold a range of views that are fairly typical of their party — is beside the point. As Jindal put it, there's no need for a second Democratic Party. He's interested in "coming up with smart policy solutions, connecting that to the aspirations of all voters, and going out there."
Going out where? Jindal, the next chairman of the Republican Governors Association, may have provided a clue when he said, "Republican governors are going to provide the examples of leadership." Watch your backs, Messrs. Rubio and Ryan.
For now, though, any rivalry among this group is between the lines, and what they have in common is striking. Judging from some of its rising stars, the Republican Party is learning the right lessons from the election, and learning them pretty rapidly at that.

The cliche of New Year's Resolutions is upon us again. Are you one of those people who makes a resolution? Do you accomplish it? I don't know the exact statistics but its pretty common knowledge that most people do not. I personally do not like to make resolutions simply because it is cliche and doesn't necessarily mean anything. Whatever you set out to accomplish, you have to figure out WHY you want to do it. This is especially true if the goal is kind of lofty or takes some discipline.
Your "why" might be to look good in a swimsuit, or for your wedding or to run a race. Is it that important to you that you will do whatever it takes to achieve and maintain that goal? The reason why people fail at achieving their resolutions most of the time is because its a nice goal and it sounds good, but when push comes to shove, its just not that important, or something more important takes priority.
Now let me ask you this: Is there anything more important to you than your health? Think about it...if you lose your health, what happens--especially if its a biggie (not talking a cold or anything). Put bluntly, you lose everything, literally. You could die. What is more important than preserving your life? If not for you, then for your family and those that count on you.
This is a pretty big "why" for a lot of people, but they still get derailed. Many times this happens because they forget their why or because they don't have a plan and don't manifest their vision.
Here are 5 steps to make your health goals happen this year:
1. write down what you want and WHY you want it. make it big, make it something that gets you emotional. draw or cut out a picture and paste it with your goal/why statements.
2. make 3 copies of this collage and put one at your nightstand, one on the fridge, and one at your desk--all where you can easily see them, to remind you of your goal and keep you focused.
3. every day--every single day!--read your statements before you go to bed and when you wake up in the morning, and whenever you see your collage--at your desk, on your fridge, etc.
4. visualize what your goal will look like--if that is running a race, visualize yourself crossing the finish line; if its getting your cholesterol down, visualize feeling awesome and seeing your numbers; if its feeling good about your body, visualize you looking in the mirror seeing the person you want to be and how that feels. Experience the vision, feel it with your whole body and mind.
5. devise a plan to make it happen. if you want to run a marathon, you have to follow a regimented training program to get there. If you want to get your cholesterol down, you need a plan for that. A health and fitness pro can help you with these--this is what we do--create programs and help people achieve their goals. We can't do it for you, but we can help you map it out. Ultimately, you will be the one to create and manifest the vision to reality.
It IS possible to create the life you want to live. You can make 2011 the year it all turns around. It might not happen next month or next year, but resolve to be on the journey, create your vision, and follow a well-laid plan. You can't fail with that! Happy New Year!!
Here are some good tips to stay motivated from USA Today Wkd Magazine:(From the List Maker's Get Healthy Guide)
- Define your goal.
- Fix an image in your head
- put yourself first
- get gear you need
- reward yourself (but not with food! :))
- make it an event
- check excuses at the door.
- have a blast
Does a lot of this sound familiar? We talk about this a lot in Team Training and in the Healthy Edge, two great ways to get healthy this year. With health care costs rising, its going to be up to us more and more to take charge of our health and be proactive! Here are a couple more tips:
- get one or two outfits you feel good wearing--when you look good you feel good and you'll be motivated to wear your new clothes to work out.
- don't think about it too much! just do it!
- write down your goal and repeat it every day when you wake up and when you go to bed.
set your intention and get it done! be well...Elyse
I love the undo button! I take so many more chances with my computer because I know that if I mess something up its just a click away from going back to the way it was. Although our bodies arent quite so forgiving by undoing havoc we've wreaked from a bad weekend, or the college years, our bodies are incredible at healing and repairing. Some would go so far to say we have a "reset" button.When we eat foods that are processed and high in sugar, our bodies react biochemically. I'm not going to get into all the science in biology of it right now, but suffice it to say that this is the cause of all major degenerative disease (pretty much common sense these days). When we start eating a diet of whole foods, like fruits, veggies, legumes, nuts and seeds, and lean protein, like eggs and fish our bodies begin to heal. When we add a high quality nutritional supplement, our bodies have the optimal tools to actually reverse the process! Its truly amazing what a person can do with eating right and exercise!!Stay tuned for tips and recipes for achieving optimal wellness and reversing heart disease, high cholesterol and weight gain. Gotta get my zzz's (also important for staying healthy!).be well...elyse
I found the cutest writing piece my daughter wrote. I thought it was a scrap paper and actually started a list on the back. As I was ready to toss it in the trash, I flipped it over. It was my daughter Rachel's plans for her future. On this piece of notebook paper, she has detailed out her vision for her life. She is going to be a famous actor and singer and live in a big mansion and have two dogs and a cat (already knows the names and genders of said animals) and have an outdoor pool with a swirly slide and an indoor pool with a hot tub....She knows EXACTLY what she wants! And she can see it soooo clearly! How many of us were like that--did that--when we were kids? Where did that go? Writing down our visions for our lives is such a fundamental principle, regardless of what your goals and visions are. Think, say, believe, do. This progression has been the foundation of success for eons. Its an innate quality. Thoughts become words; words become actions; and actions become habits. Where it gets murky is when we have a hard time visualizing ourselves where we want to be--the "believe" part. Like if you've struggled with your weight, and people called you fat when you were a kid, its hard to believe that you can be thin. If you have had self doubt about being successful, then its hard to break through that negative image. BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. Think, say, believe, do. Think, say, believe, do. What is your vision for your health and wellness? write it down and read it everyday, when you wake up and when you go to bed. believe it and visualize every detail! Then you will do it!!I'm doing a triathlon this weekend--my big one of the year. I'll let you know how I do! :)
While doing a training swim at East Fork Lake this morning, I had a personal
revelation! Its something that I have
heard many times, applied to many things, but it really hit home in the moments
while I was trying to focus on swimming from one end of the beach to the
other. It occurred to me that when I had a fixed bouy to focus on
in the distance, I would swimming in a straight line, and could get in a "zone."
I could just concentrate on that one
bouy out there and check on it about every other breath. It was quite relaxing knowing that I was on
target and that I actually had a concrete target to swim towards. It was so rewarding realizing that I was
moving, making progress towards my goal.However, when I got to the bouy and I turned around, the sun
was glaring on the water. There was the
same line of bouys, now to left of me, instead of the on the right side (I swim
and breathe predominantly to the right), but my goal was unclear. Where was I going? Which buoy did I need to go to? I started swimming in the other direction, using the beach
as my guide. I tried to breathe to the
other side so I could see the bouys to my left.
At least I could swim with the line, benchmarking my progress, I thought. But I didn't know where exactly I was
going. I couldn't see my
destination. And this is where my revelation hit! I'm certainly not the first person to realize
this! Even if you have benchmarks along
the way, if you don't know where you are going, your ultimate destination, it
will be infinitely harder to get there. It
became clearer to me how I can apply this to my life and my business. AND how to apply it to a HEALTH journey. For me, my ultimate goal is to live long and
die short. Call it growing old
gracefully, but my personal goal is to stay off medication, stay active, and be
healthy my whole life. Death should not
be long and drawn out with disease and pain. If you don't have a clear idea of what your health goal is (like
the bouy to focus on), its hard to stay focused every day on the daily tasks to
make it happen. If you want to get
stronger, you have to figure out what that means in a concrete goal. If I want to "be healthy" I have to define
what that means, or else I will probably get distracted by time, family, and
special occasions. Good intentions are
the start but action and MOVING FORWARD are the key.When I had a hard time focusing on my destination in the
water, I was all over the place. I kept
swimming too close to shore, worrying about others around me, not able to find
my rhythm. I see a lot of people struggling with this in daily life when it
comes to their health goals. You have to
know why you are doing something—what is driving you forward and visualize
where you are going. THAT—and that alone
will get you what you want.Wish me luck next Sunday!

For thousands of years people have been searching for the mythical fountain of youth, however this resource is no myth and it is accessible to everyone! What is it? No it is not a fountain, it is not a pill, or some miracle food. Its good old fashioned hard work--what we call exercise nowadays. I know, its not as sexy as you thought, however the good news is that you can tap into its powerful effects every single day! How does exercise keep us young? Here are a few examples:
- brings blood flow to the face, rejuvenating skin
- creates more synovial fluid in the joints lubricating them and reducing inflammation-causing friction
- builds muscle tone to control metabolism
- keeps the tiny capillaries to the muscles healthy so they can produce more energy
- secretes happy hormones and burns off estrogen metabolites
Need more reasons? Need to make it easy? Join us for TEAM TRAINING! Take my challenge to drop a dress size in 21 days! Give me 30 minutes a day in the AM or PM and we will make it happen! Utilize the Fountain of Youth! See events for details! Or email me at email@example.com
Have you ever thought about getting old? If you are young, you probably haven't given it much thought. If you are about 40 something then you may have had to contemplate where you are headed. Being in my 40's I think about what road I am headed down and observe the same in my friends. What will we be like in 30 years, when I am my mom's age? She has seen a huge dichotomy in her friends' health status as compared to her own. Is it because she has always been the epitomy of fitness and a vegetarian? Not at all. In fact, she is neither. But I am getting off track...my point is not to tell you about my mother's health, which is a lot better than most of her friends at 70. The point of this entry is to start a discussion about taking the "long short road" or the "short long road". What does this mean to you? I think one thing it means is that life is a marathon, not a sprint. That a healthy life leads you down a long road of good functioning physically and mentally into your "old age", and that the time of deterioration is relatively short. But, if your life is lived indulgently, gaining 5 or 10 lbs every year, drinking a lot of alcohol and not worrying about the quality of food you eat, it WILL catch up with you. The body will begin to decay in the 40's and 50's, cholesterol and blood pressure will be issues that need to be "controlled" and physical limitations will be more and more profound. Who wants to spend 30 years like that? Nobody! BUT when we are young we think--that will never happen to me! Please dont be so foolish.I have heard so many people say, "Getting old sucks!" and it comes from people of all ages--50s, 60s, and 70s. You don't hear that much from people who are older than that because they are either happy they are functioning at a good level, or they are just happy to still be around. Getting old doesnt have to suck! and it doesnt have to endure for 30 years. whatever happened to aging "gracefully"? In the next post, I will discuss the Fountain of Youth! Please comment! be well...Elyse

Finally, the consistent dimensional tolerances along the entire length of the inch steel shafting maximize consistent bearing operation.

Fans return to Boston sports
Fans return to Boston sports
Bruins fans turned out in force and in a show of patriotism on Wednesday in Boston's first sporting event since the Marathon attack.
The highlight of the night was when national anthem singer Rene Rancourt yielded the song after just a few words to the crowd, which sang the remainder of the anthem en masse.
There was a heavy presence of police and national guard personnel at the game.
Fans went through increased points of security as they entered the arena.
Mike Adler displayed this American flag during a moment of silence before the game.
Paul Constantine was among the many fans to wave American flags during the game.
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara acknowledged a "Believe in Boston" sign during pregame warmups.
The Bruins advertised The One Fund Boston charity that officials set up to benefit the victims of the attack.
Bruins fans chanted "U-S-A" and "We are Boston" at times during the game.
After the game, which the Sabres won in a shootout, both teams took to center ice to salute the fans.

The current logo does not have the colors to pop online or in print. It reproduces good as a black and white (which is important for the new logo as well), but I have never been completely satisfied with the color version.
Ideally submissions should include:
- a full color version for online media
- a full/limited/spot color version for print media (if the online version should not be used)
- a black and white version for print
- a reversed black and white version for print

Just wondering how much you put in ??? The Gatorate poweder is usually about 2 scoops per biddon, Do you replace 1 scoop with maltodextrin or add 2 scoops ontop of the gatorade ????
If I think I'll drink a bidon in an hour, I'll put in two level scoops of each, Trev ... about 80g total.
If you're closer to 60kg, you can try one and a half scoops of each.
Repeated sipping through the ride is actually better for you than the spike of a meal or a hit from a can of coke, but of course you can enjoy all these things in the day if you get the amounts right.

text: Fonterra Cites Five Causes for Its Product Contamination Recall September 4, 2013 06:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By MILK Editors Email The New Zealand dairy giant announces findings of its operational review involving last month's botulism scare. Source: Fonterra Fonterra today announced the findings of its operational review, commissioned by Chief Executive Theo Spierings immediately following the co-operative's recent precautionary recall. Spierings said that the precautionary recall was not the result of any one single cause, but rather was the result of a number of separate and unrelated events occurring in an unforeseen sequence. "I commissioned the operational review, led by our Group Director of Strategy, Maury Leyland, to find out what happened and why, and to understand what actions we can take to prevent this from happening again," Spierings said. "The Operational Review has enabled us to strengthen our systems, while continuing to process this season's fast-growing milk flows," he added. "At Fonterra, we already have world-class manufacturing facilities, quality systems, and robust testing regimes in place. This event has stress-tested all of them. Overall our systems worked well, while some aspects showed room for further improvement." In summary, the findings are: • The decision to reprocess the original WPC80 and not downgrade the product, in combination with the use of an item of non-standard equipment, was the cause of the contamination. • A one-off lapse in information sharing across two parts of the business led to delays in testing. • This issue should have been escalated to CEO-level earlier. • A major upgrade of the computer systems at some of our sites immediately prior to the recall resulted in product tracing taking longer than it should have. • Although Fonterra has clearly established domestic and international product recall systems, the size and complexity of the WPC80 recall was a factor, particularly given the product had itself become an ingredient in the products of multiple customers. To help prevent an incident like this from happening again, Fonterra is implementing a number of improvements which will: • Ensure our world-class food production standards continue to be maintained at all times, across all sites, in areas such as quality control, testing, and product specifications. • Further increase the business' focus on quality and safety across the end-to-end supply chain. • Increase transparency, internally and externally, to improve information flows and the speed of escalation. • Ensure Fonterra strengthens its product recall and supply management systems which allow the tracing of all product that is in its control, and collaborates with customers on how to link different supply chains and quickly trace products. "We are well underway in implementing these improvements," Spierings said. ""We have already created a new role of Group Director of Food Safety and Quality reporting directly to the CEO, strengthened the remit and scope of our Food Integrity Council, and launched an internal Food Safety and Quality Hotline for staff and contractors to escalate any concerns about potential food safety risks. We have also completed quality audits at our sensitive nutritional plants, including Hautapu. "Shortly prior to the recall, we had upgraded the computer system in some of our sites, and had yet to complete comprehensive training, which affected the speed at which we were able to trace product," he said. "We have now completed this training and are confident that our people can use this system to efficiently trace products across our entire supply chain." Back to news

By Kenya King
Hundreds of students cheered at a pep rally for digital literacy at Carver High School recently. Led by Congressman John Lewis, the young people celebrated Comcast's local Internet Essentials program which has been expanded by $160,000.
Noting that Carver Auditorium was once the chapel of the Gammon Theological Seminary, Lewis said that "some of the great debates and great discussions about the Civil Rights movement took place here."
The more contemporary discussions revolved around the so-called "digital divide" movement between those who have access to the resources on the Internet and those who do not.
Comcast launched Internet Essentials in August of 2011 in order to bring the Internet to the homes of thousands of low-income families. To date, 100,000 families across the country who didn't have a means for using the Internet now have access as a result of the initiative. In Atlanta, 6,000 families benefited, making it the second highest enrollment in the United States. The city of Chicago had the highest enrollment.
Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen announced a pledge of $160,000 in grants to Atlanta area programs. including $25,000 for the Digital Connectors program at Samuel L. Jones Boys & Girls Club and a $60,000 Club Tech Grant to Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta.
Based on Comcast's research, its Internet Essentials tackles distinct barriers to broadband adoption including a lack of understanding of how the Internet is relevant and useful, the cost of a home computer and the cost of the Internet service. Those who participate in the program receive residential Internet service for $9.95 a month plus taxes without price increases, activation fees, or equipment rental fees; a voucher to purchase a low-cost computer for approximately $150; and access to free digital literacy training.
To be eligible for the program, a family must be located where Comcast offers Internet service, has at least one child who is eligible to receive a free or reduced school lunch, and as not subscribed to Comcast Internet service within 90 days."
"Due to our integrated efforts, thousands of students and families in metro Atlanta are now able to utilize all of the resources the Internet has to offer in their own homes, from researching historical or scientific facts for a school presentation, to applying for jobs that will expand the region's workforce and provide increased opportunities for parents and their children," said Cohen.
"No one should be denied the right to access to information because of their income, because of their zip code or because of their neighborhood," Congressman Lewis added.

Reverse engineering ELRO Flamingo HA31 wireless alarm
The Elro flamingo HA31 is a alarm with wireless sensors.
The set contains:
- A central unit with keypad, battery holder and a power-adapter
- PIR motion sensor
- Door contact sensor
- External sounder
- Accessories to mount the sensors etc
After unwrapping the package the outside looks decent. The unit has an extra contact on the back of it which will get switched on when ever you try to dismount the unit from the wall. If you do take it of the wal it will activate the alarm. After unscrewing the unit we where kind of surprised about the quality of the PCB's. Yes, all in all it IS cheap Chinese quality. But appearantly it does it's job.
We also found 4 dip-switches (also accessible via one of the standard openings). These switches are used to make up your own "house code". With only four switches to use for making up your own house code, it is in theory possible to create at max 16 unique codes (2*2*2*2). It's easy to activate the alarm of your neighbor if he/she uses the same system.
The internal of the central system does contain 3 PCB's, one with the numeric keypad attached to the main logic board and a wireless 433 receiver. Between the wireless receiver and the main board are 2 wires, it's power and "signal". The wireless control board doesn't contain a lot of hardware but most interesting is the chip, it is a M1D chip. After google-ing we found a NLdatasheet of the chip, it's a chip mostly used for door bells.
After opening the sensors we did saw the "other-side", same story...bad PCB's and... the doorbell chip..[1]
After hooking up an analyzer to the central wireless receiver it also became clear what was happening, if the door bell rings (aka sensor got activated) a pulse is send to the main logic board and the alarm will be triggered if it's armed.
So how about the wireless signal and encoding?
The system is simple:
All dips on:
All dips off:
Dips 1001:
- Investigate the main logic board
- brute force all codes and functions on the keypad
- Create a re-player for the 16 codes to activate all alarms and call it: "Alarm-B-on" (named after Mitch his TV-B-Gobe)
- Create a 433Mhz jammer and test what you need in what range, create a heatmap in a "normal" house"

Viewers are always asking me, "Are the couples for real–are they really in to their concept or are they doing it for the show?" Sometimes I ask that myself. I've never met a more dedicated couple than this one. John literally wears clothes, styles his hair and speaks like he's from the '40s. When I met him, I knew this was someone who enjoys pretending, so to have a vintage '40s idea was great.
Now Joelle, I wasn't sold on. She wanted her wedding to have mermaids in it and I didn't quite understand it. I battled the more juvenile Disney Ariel direction, so I kind of closed that book. I didn't want mermaids at a vintage wedding, but as I did more homework into the idea, I fell in love with it. It wasn't until I went back to my house on the east coast and saw mermaids everywhere in clothes, stores; it's very New England. That was the final icing on the cake that sold me on it.
So when you watch the episode you'll see that I took both of their concepts and fell in love with them as they were doing '40s vintage and mermaid with or without me and I was happy to be along for the ride.
I hope they have a wonderful life together. They're amazingly kind, cute and great people.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. --- Junior quarterback Kody Smith threw a pair of touchdown passes and junior running back Ted Delia ran for a 76-yard score as the Gettysburg College football team posted a 22-14 Centennial Conference win over host Moravian College at snowy Rocco Calvo Field Saturday.
The Bullets improve to 5-3 overall and 5-2 in conference action while the Greyhounds fall to 1-7 on the year and 1-6 in Centennial Conference games. Moravian will close out its 2011 home season next Saturday, November 5 versus Juniata College at 1:00 p.m.
The Greyhounds received the opening kickoff and would take an early lead when sophomore quarterback Robbie Moyer ran for a 41-yard touchdown, his first rushing score of the season, off the right side on the third play of the game. A bad snap on the extra-point ended up in the hands of senior kicker Ian Heck, who attempted a pass but the ball was knocked down to keep Moravian's lead 6-0.
Gettysburg punted after three plays on its opening drive, and the squads traded punts over the next four possessions.
The Bullets took over on the Moravian 42-yard line for their third possession of the game, and facing a third-and-six, Smith tossed a 38-yard scoring strike to sophomore wide receiver Adam Twer, who tied the Gettysburg record with his 11th touchdown reception of the season. Senior Rob Penella pushed the extra-point to the left, leaving the game tied at 6-6 with 1:30 to go in the first quarter.
Moravian's next drive ended in the team's third punt of the game, and Gettysburg would start from its own 35-yard line. The Bullets put together a ten-play, 65 yard drive with Smith hitting Twer with a 27-yard touchdown pass. With the reception, Twer set the Gettysburg single season record with his 12th touchdown reception of the season. Gettysburg went for a two-point conversion with Smith connecting on a pass with freshman Freddy Caruso to push the Bullets' lead to 14-6 with 10:11 remaining in the first half.
The Greyhounds would punt twice more, and Gettysburg punted once before the Bullets would start at their own 26-yard line. On the second drive of the game, Delia bounced to the far side and avoided sliding out of bounds on the wet turf before running 76 yards for the touchdown. Senior quarterback Kyle Whitmore ran in the two-point conversion to push the Bullets' lead to 22-6 with 2:52 before halftime.
Moravian punted once more in the first before Gettysburg ran out the clock.
Gettysburg received the opening kickoff of the second half and would drive down to the Moravian 30-yard line before turning the ball over on downs. The Greyhounds answered with a drive to the Gettysburg 27-yard line before they turned the ball over on downs too. After a three-and-out by each squad, the Bullets moved out near midfield before punting.
On Moravian's next possession, junior quarterback Matt Johnson, who returned to action for the first time since suffering an injury in week four, fumbled in the backfield while attempting a pass and Gettysburg junior defensive end Ben Zepnick fell on the ball.
Gettysburg would only get two plays off before Smith fumbled a ball while dropping back, and Moravian senior Patrick Gordon recovered the loose ball. Moravian was unable to capitalize and punted the ball away.
The Bullets punted the ball away with 6:44 to go before Moravian turned the ball over on downs. Gettysburg's next drive looked like it would end with a punt but Greyhound junior wide receiver Rocco Del Priore mishandled the punt and Gettysburg recovered. However, the Bullets were unable to capitalize with a bad snap on the ensuing punt being recovered by Greyhound senior defensive back D.J. Wacker at the Gettysburg 37-yard line.
Moravian would move to the 22-yard line on a 15-yard pass from Johnson to sophomore wide receiver Vince Reed. On the next play, Johnson found sophomore wide receiver Julian Gentile at the one-yard line, and Johnson capped of the scoring drive with a one-yard touchdown run, his second rushing touchdown of the season. Johnson would also run in the two-point conversion to cut the Gettysburg lead to 22-14 with 1:18 remaining.
The Greyhounds attempted a short pop up kickoff but the Bullets recovered and would run out the clock.
Gettysburg's high-powered offense was limited to 234 yards on 66 plays in 30:19 with Smith completing eight of ten passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns. Delia had 115 yards on 33 carries with a score while Twer caught five passes for 84 yards and a touchdown.
Moravian had 154 yards on 59 plays in the contest. Johnson was five-for-13 for 48 yards, and he added 26 yards on 13 carries. Reed caught two passes for 24 yards while Moyer was two-for-three for 12 yards and ran for 52 yards and a touchdown on six carries. Junior running back Joe Tegan had 12 yards on nine attempts in the game while junior running back C.J. Billera had seven yards on 14 carries.
Junior linebacker Larry DelViscio and junior defensive lineman Robert Swierkowski each had eight tackles to lead the Gettysburg defense with DelViscio adding two tackles for loss. Senior linebacker Marc Graziano had seven tackles for the Bullets.
Senior linebacker Ryan Hartzell led the Moravian defense with 15 tackles while senior defensive lineman Allen Petros had 12 tackles including four for loss to raise his school record to 62 career tackles for loss, and one sack to move into second in school history with 26 and a half sacks. Senior linebacker Stephen Kircher had eight tackles with one and a half tackles for loss and a half a sack for the Greyhounds while senior defensive lineman Seth Payne had seven tackles with two tackles for loss and one sack. Junior linebacker Luke Trexler contributed six tackles with three and a half for loss while junior defensive back Travis King and sophomore defensive back Brandon Lesko each had six tackles as well.

Affordable Sleeper Chairs & Ottomans
Although we looked at the Best Sleeper Sofas of 2016 a couple weeks ago, there are small spaces where even a sofa bed won't fit. In those instances, sleeper chairs and ottomans may work in a pinch. While they may not be comfortable enough to sleep on every night, convertible chairs and ottomans expand for quick and easy small space guest rooms.
This is the most budget-friendly option on our list but it doesn't mean it's subpar; it has an average 4-star rating from over 100 reviewers. Some customer noted the firmness of the foam mattress topper, though not all necessarily noted it was a bad thing.
We love a double and triple threat in terms of furniture. This convertible chair is great because you can use it as a chair, chaise or flat bed. Oh the possibilities!
The VALLENTUNA sofa line is completely modular and comes in six colors, so it's easy to build exactly what you're looking for. And if you're on the hunt for an unassuming ottoman that pulls out and unfolds into a single bed, this is it.
Slouchy and overstuffed, this chair would bring a casual comfort to a small space–whether as a chair or, when unfolded, as a bed.
Our Previous Lists:
By day it's a simple unassuming ottoman, perfect for propping up your feet and watching TV. By night, it unfolds to create a bed, a welcoming respite for a last minute guest.
Although described as a sofa, this sleeper measures only 47" wide—just small enough to be considered a chair.
With 49 fabric options, you can get just the look you want with this classic rolled-arm chair. A gel-infused memory foam mattress ensures your unexpected guests will be comfortable come bedtime.

- 11 stylish sleeper sofas that are easy on the eyes — and won't ruin your back - Los Angeles Times
- Top 10 Best Comfy Sleeper Chairs Reviews 2016-2017 - Flipboard
Reviewers love this sleeper chair (which is made in America!). From one of the comments: "It is always hard to purchase things online without being able to sit on things, feel it, see the color, etc. This oversized chair worked out perfectly! It looks beautiful and the bed is extremely comfortable for a pull out! I would highly recommend this sleeper chair! It feels great and the color was exactly what I was expecting!"
A kiln-dried wood frame ensures you'll have a long-lasting piece of furniture, and the standard twin means you can use easy-to-find sheets and bedding.
The Willow may have only one review, but it's 5 stars and the rater noted the following: "It's been four years since I purchased the Willow Twin Sleeper and sitting on it is still as heavenly as the day I bought it! And without fail, every visiter who sits in the Willow has commented on how comfortable it is. I plan on purchasing the Sofa to go with the Twin once I move into my larger space!" Sounds like a winner to us!
The transitional silhouette of the Buchanan would work in many decor styles. Consider it for a guest bedroom that is predominantly used as an office or play room, or in your living room as a side kick to your sofa.
