"The travelogue of an observant man with much mettle and an open heart....His writings cover affairs of state and affairs of spaniels on equal footing. He is modest and gracious.

In lieu of a memoir, All the Best, George Bush collects correspondence and diary entries from the former U. S. President to show, as he says, "what my own heartbeat is, what my values are, what has motivated me in life. " The letters begin in 1942--when, fresh out of high school, Bush volunteered for U. S. Navy flight school--and continue to the brink of the 21st century, as the retired chief executive worries about the Melissa virus infecting his office's server and keeping his visiting grandchildren in line. ("I realize, " he muses, "Keep the freezer door closed from now on and I mean" it lacks the rhetorical depth of "This will not stand" or "Read my lips". ")
All the Best hits all the highlights of Bush's career, from the Texas oil business to his role as ambassador to China, then CIA director, vice president under Ronald Reagan, and finally president himself. Along the way, he reveals a personality that is at turns compassionate, respectful, silly, doting, and resolute--a man for whom being a father and a grandfather matters as much as, and maybe even more than, being leader of the free ...
About George H.W. Bush:
George Herbert Walker Bush (born June 12, 1924) served as the forty-first President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Bush held a multitude of political positions prior to his presidency, including Vice President of the United States in the administration of Ronald Reagan (1981-989) and director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Bush was born in Massachusetts to Senator Prescott Bush and Dorothy Walker Bush. Following the attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941, at the age of 18, Bush postponed going to college and became the youngest naval aviator in US history. He served until the end of the war, then attended Yale University.
Graduating in 1948, he moved his young family to West Texas and entered the oil business, becoming a millionaire by the age of 40. He became involved in politics soon after founding his own oil company, serving as a member of the House of Representatives, among other positions. He ran unsuccessfully for president of the United States in 1980, but was chosen by party nominee Ronald Reagan to be the vice presidential nominee; the two were subsequently elected. During his tenure, Bush headed administration task forces on deregulation and fighting drug abuse. In 1988, Bush launched a successful campaign to succeed Reagan as president, defeating Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis.
Foreign policy drove the Bush presidency; operations were conducted in Panama and the Persian Gulf at a time of world change; the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolved two years later. Domestically, Bush reneged on a 1988 campaign promise and raised taxes amidst a struggle with Congress. In the wake of economic concerns, he lost the 1992 presidential election to Democrat Bill Clinton. Bush is the father of George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States, and Jeb Bush, former Governor of Florida.

"I spent my 1L summer interning at the Beijing office of WilmerHale. It was a great experience. I went into the summer knowing I was interested in law and China, but really uncertain what it would actually be like to practice in China. Through the internship, I learned about day-to-day practice for American lawyers in China and was happy to discover that the work they do is extremely varied and interesting. The internship helped prepare me for the language classes I'm taking this fall, and will provide both direction and relevant experience for my next job search."
– Joanna Lampe, 3L

Summer Send-Off
I was quite happy to get one last run from my Polo seersucker blazer before autumn. Tan and white seersucker makes a subtler statement than flashy yet traditional light blue and white. I continued to dress up the look a bit with a linen navy pocket square.
Given the use of a pocket square, I opted out of wearing a tie. However, the navy and light blue of the pocket square are picked up in the sweater vest. I came away with the white Polo shirt and Club Room sweater vest for around $30 on clearance at Macy's.
I forgot to flash my socks in this one - Club Room yellow pair to match the sweater vest. The jeans are yet another great pick-up from my store - Polo Stanton jeans at $22. The tassel loafers are my trusty Johnston and Murphy's I've totally worn down by now. I can't get over the shoes I thrift sometimes. This pair cost as much as the socks.
Go together, never matchy-matchy.
5 comments:
Looking good, boy! I bet you´ve been the best dressed guy at the party, the tie might have been overdone, so wise choice to leave it at home.ReplyDelete
Wow, what a great jacket. I'm a fan of the tan/white seersucker as well but I can never seem to find any of it, let alone a polo version.ReplyDelete
Great play on patterns and color here as well, a really solid outfit.
Spoozy - Thanks. It's hard to NOT wear a tie when I have so many great options but I think it worked here.ReplyDelete
David - Thanks a lot. I picked up the jacket for $80 on final clearance. It wasn't listed with the other sport coats but hidden in a link for other items, so I totally lucked out.
I don't have nearly as many ties as you, however I agree that it is difficult not to wear a tie, it's almost automatic for me.ReplyDelete
Lately I've been trying to step up to wearing an ascot. We'll see what happens.ReplyDelete

Center for Troubled Teens to Open in Pennsylvania
If all goes as planned, a facility for troubled teens could move into the former Sto Rox Boosters Club near Blooming Valley in East Mead Township.
Kenn Capper, regional director of Vision Quest, confirmed the organization is looking at trying to get the program established at the site. We are in the final stages of
negotiations, he said, noting it may be a bit premature to discuss the plans. Capper wasnt sure if the final agreement would involve leasing or buying the property.
Founded in 1973, Vision Quest is a national program with more than 1,000 youth and 1,500 staff in facilities in Arizona, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Florida and Oklahoma. In this region it operates a facility in Franklin, Venango County.
The organization is described as an alternative solution to juvenile delinquency and incarceration.
Capper said plans are to make the East Mead site a stand-alone facility with regional oversight. Its being planned for older boys, ages 17 and 18, and will focus on education, stressing the need for the youth to complete high school and receive their diploma. Also stressed will be the need to have youth develop goals and work toward achieving them.
Vision Quest will seek a state license to accommodate approximately 48 youth with the initial complement to be 16, said Capper.
Teens are sentenced by the court to participate in the program. Capper said clients will come from all over the state. Boys will receive passes to visit their homes and will be encouraged to participate in community service programs.
Sto Rox Boosters Inc. is from the Pittsburgh area and has owned the campground and building for about 40 years.
It has been vacant for several years, according to Nancy Smith, who owns Country Gardens, a catering business and rental hall adjacent to the facility.
Smith isnt happy with the plans. I am really upset having my business next door, she said.
She and her husband attempted to purchase land owned by the booster club several years ago but the asking price was too high.
Its all about the dollar, she said, noting the club claimed it was going to do so much for the community when it came in and has done nothing.

We get it--you don't have time to scroll through 1,000-plus-word stories about the iPhone5 announcement from Wednesday, going into extraordinary detail about aspect ratios and processors and on and on. In an effort to help you decide whether it's even worth a few agonizing days of deciding whether or not to extend your wireless contract for the sake of upgrading your phone, here are the most important things you can take away from the iPhone5 announcement.
Taller, skinner, unbreakable (?)
Four inches, to be exact, which allows for five rows of apps on your home screen instead of four. Apple also says it's the "thinnest" smartphone ever made. Plus, the back of the phone is now made of metal instead of glass. Take that, sidewalk!

The stench of liberal judgmentalism wafting from the Washington Post's op-ed page is stronger than usual this morning.
Sounding ironically like Mike Huckabee, Harold Meyerson condemns many in "the Gospel's Own Party" as hypocritical for wanting "to punish the undocumented immigrants" who live here illegally. "The Bible isn't big on immigrant documentation," he points out.
Mr. Meyerson follows this exegesis by comparing the modern Republican Party with the Ku Klux Klan (despite the fact that the Klan overwhelmingly comprised southern Democrats):
The demand for a more regulated immigration policy comes from virtually all points on our political spectrum, but the push to persecute the immigrants already among us comes distinctly, though by no means entirely, from the same Republican right that protests its Christian faith at every turn.
We've seen this kind of Christianity before in America. It's more tribal than religious, and it surges at those times when our country is growing more diverse and economic opportunity is not abounding. At its height in the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan was chiefly the political expression of nativist Protestants upset by the growing ranks of Catholics in their midst.

Raging River 40# Zombow Wood Riser Right Hand Hunting Bow, 62-Inch Review
- Easy Assembly - 9/109/10
- Accuracy - 9/109/10
- Quiet Shooting - 9/109/10
Take a good look at the features and see whether your child is mature enough to handle it.
If you have already gone through recurve bow reviews, you would know that there are plenty of options in the market. It is important for you to pick the most suitable option for your child. Since your child is a beginner, it is best to opt for a bow that is specifically designed for novices. This will enable your child to pick up the sport quickly and easily. If you are looking for the perfect recurve beginner bow, then the Raging River Zombow is what you are looking for.
Although the package does not include an assembly guide, you can put the equipment together pretty easily – especially if you know your way around a recurve bow. The assembly is simple and straightforward. First, you need to align the limbs with the limb pockets. Then, you need to insert the bolts and tighten them. Finally, you can use a bow stringer to string the bow.
One of the best features of the Zombow is its accuracy. Despite its novice-friendly design, it can hit its mark with high levels of precision. The wide variety in draw lengths and weights makes the bow suitable for beginners of all heights. So, regardless of his or her stature, you can be assured that he or she will be able to hit the mark.
Although archery only involves one person, it can result in noise. If you have prickly neighbors, they might not be impressed about your gift idea for your child's birthday. This is why it is important for you to make sure that you choose a recurve bow such as Zombow that does not make much noise during the shoot.
The quiet shooting and accuracy of the bow makes it an ideal target practice companion. You will be able to hit the mark as long as it is within the yard limit. Moreover, since the bow is highly durable, it will definitely withstand long training sessions.
• Inserted stabilizer, arrow rest and quiver mounting – This enables you to easily install all the necessary accessories to the bow.
• Long-term use – The durability of the equipment enables you to use it on the long-term without any wear or tear.
• Lightweight – The bow weighs less than 2.5 pounds. This means that you will be able to maneuver and carry the bow easily.
• Unsuitable for hunting – The bow is specifically designed for the use of target practice and therefore cannot be used for hunting purposes.
• Not suitable for all children – The equipment can only be used by children above a certain group. Mishandling the equipment can easily lead to injury.
Despite the bow's inability to be useful in hunting trips, 90% of the consumers have given this product a five star rating. Moreover, the Zombow has also received a 4.9 out of five stars. These ratings show that the consumers are highly satisfied the product and its features. The accuracy of the bow and the ease of assembly are some of the most commonly praised features of the recurve bow. However, some people are not satisfied with the product since it is more suitable for teenagers than young children.
As much as family traditions are important, you must not forget that your child's safety is your primary concern. Therefore, take a good look at the features and see whether your child is mature enough to handle it. Although this recurve bow has excellent accuracy and high durability, it has a mature design. So, before you decide that it is the best recurve bow for your child, it is essential to go through all your options one more time.

Canada's revenue agency said hackers exploiting the Heartbleed security flaw have gained access to some taxpayer data.
About 900 social security numbers, which the government uses to identify citizens, were taken from the Ottawa-based agency's computer systems, Canada Revenue Agency said in a statement, without saying who committed the breach. The agency said it's analyzing other fragments of data, some that may relate to businesses, that were also removed.
Heartbleed may be one of the biggest flaws in the Internet's history, affecting the basic security of as many as two-thirds of the world's websites. The bug, which was discovered by researchers from Google Inc. and a Finnish company called Codenomicon, affects OpenSSL, a type of open-source encryption.
"I want to express regret to Canadians for this service interruption," Andrew Treusch, commissioner of the agency, said in the statement. "In particular, I share the concern and dismay of those individuals whose privacy has been impacted by this malicious act."
The agency, which temporarily closed its online tax services last week to investigate the security flaw, said it has implemented a "patch" for the bug and tested all its systems. It re-opened its online services yesterday.
The breach took place over a six-hour period, the agency said, without giving an exact date. The Canadian government on April 10 ordered the shutdown of all its websites that run unprotected OpenSSL software as a precautionary measure until the appropriate security can be put in place.

IFRS 9 implementation projects are well under way as target dates for testing, parallel runs and live deployment are quickly approaching. Many projects are discovering that implanting ECL accounting is a nuanced and highly detail driven exercise.
For companies behind in the implementation process, time is becoming critical. This in-depth, information packed conference has been designed to provide a benchmark on decisions taken to date as well as to provide critical insights to enable organizations to move forward decisively with their projects.
- As organizations embark on their implementation projects many new operational tasks present unprecedented challenges including:
- Forward looking approach is incompatible with existing credit loss models
- Inadequacy of spreadsheets to manage accounting

I really wanted to try out a pair of circle lenses, but I have always been a little hesitant. But I was lucky enough to be sponsored by http://www.maplelens.com so I thought I would give them a go ^-^
I have naturally brown eyes, and really wanted to try a blue pair to see the difference it would make in my appearance. I choose the Geo Nudy Golden Blue because I thought it might be a more natural change instead of a very vibrant blue pair.

How-To: Write to NTFS Partition in Mac
(I have quite a few how-tos i wanted to write about, usually to document something i did with the servers. Most of it gets lost in my mind afterwards. So that leaves me with mostly Mac stuff.)
This how-to documents what i have done, including all faults, repetitions, and miracles — you'll find out later.
By default, NTFS partitions are readable in Mac OS X; but not writable. I have a bootcamp partition and i can see it via Finder. I also have an external drive, where i sync important files from my desktop PC. Before, it was ok to just have it in read-only since the same files are also sync'ed in the MBP. The mobile drive's main purpose is really when i'm working at home on my PC (or other remote places, w/c is very rare).
Lately though, i'm running out of space on the MBP. The solution is either to delete *unimportant but fun/entertaining* stuff OR unload *important but boring* stuff and locate it somewhere. Anyway, these *important stuff are not for use in the mac. I'm just so OC to want to have a copy of everything. (Good reasoning, eh?!)
So now that the story has been told, here's the real tutorial. As with all of my other how-tos, this is not original. I have a lot of help from geniuses lurking and sharing their minds on the net.
First, install MacFuse. This is quite easy. Just go over to their google code page, download the latest stable version (1.7.1 as of writing). Versions for tiger and leopard are available, so choose yours. MacFuse installation should be in /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/
Next, install ntfs-3g. There are two (or more) ways to do this. (1) Use Fink, or (2) Get the DMG Package.
My first instinct was to do the 2nd option. The installer (.dmg) version is 1.2712 as of July 15. After installation then reboot, the external hard disk won't show up in the Finder anymore. Additionally, a window pops up with the error found in the pic below. I tried the suggested actions, but to no avail. For one, the volume was not mounted on my Windows partition. It's not even running in VMWare. Choice #2 is no good either. Command "mount -t ntfs-3g" is not recognized. Although i do have "mount_ntfs" and "mount_ntfs-3g" commands, it can't mount the drive.
So i resorted to the 1st option. To install via Fink, you should of course have Fink properly installed first. (Fink is a download package manager ported for mac; similar to apt-get and yum.) For that, i borrowed most of this tutorial here. Actually, i have Fink installed before (for i dunno what purpose), but it can't locate any ntfs-3g package. So i decided to re-install hoping that it will solve the problem.
– /sw/bin/fink configure. Use defaults, except answer YES to use the unstable tree.
– /sw/bin/fink selfupdate
– /sw/bin/fink index
– /sw/bin/fink scanpackages
– /sw/bin/fink install ntfs-3g
Unfortunately for me, this didn't work out either. It can't find the package. (Probably because of my choice of mirror/sources.) So i retried Option 2 (w/o removing Fink; it doesn't matter). Btw, there should be ntfs-3g.fs folder under /System/Library/Filesystems/.
Out of frustration, i booted XP thru VMWare and started playing TextTwist. 😀 At the back of my mind, i wanted to mount the external hard drive on Windows (have the OS detect it), then unmount .. just to start off on a clean slate. Remember, i was getting "Mount is denied because NTFS is marked to be in use" warning. Now i noticed the (readable) Bootcamp partition is no longer in Finder, similar to how my external drive is now gone. That's a good sign for me.
Now i powered off the virtual machine, expectant. But nope, the partition didn't show up. I opted for a reboot, then lo and behold, upon reboot, the NTFS partition is back. I tried copying a file into it, and it was ok. Yey! *that was the sort of miracle part and i don't understand it at all. I have theories, but nothing conclusive.*
That solved my little NTFS mounting problem. Thank you to all sources. 🙂

I photograph the bride all day long, but I try to do formal portraits of her at least 3 different times throughout the day.
The day starts with bridal preparations and this is the first bridal portrait I do with my 85mm lens at f1.4.
The second opportunity for a bridal portrait, usually full length is during the bride and groom portraits portion of the day.
Then I try and take her aside at the reception for a night photo or sunset portrait.

A Home Away From Home
We are a non-profit community organization that welcomes over 1000 youngsters and teenagers every year with programs that specialize in Education, Leadership and Prevention tailored to the youth of the community. Many of our program leaders started out as teenagers in the same programs they now help run! Thanks to a wonderful team of volunteers (70+ every year) we have been developing good leaders, honest citizens and joyful youths that truly care about their community and beyond since 1997…Don Bosco style!
For you to be young is enough reason for us to Love you.
DBYLC a true beacon of love in the community
A simple act of caring creates an endless ripple…
Run, jump, shout, but do not sin.
Saint John Bosco popularly known as Don Bosco, was an Italian Roman Catholic priest, educator and writer of the 19th century. While working in Turin, where the population suffered many of the effects of industrialization and urbanization, he dedicated his life to the betterment and education of street children, juvenile delinquents, and other disadvantaged youth. He developed teaching methods based on love rather than punishment, a method that became known as the Salesian Preventive System.
Don Bosco's Oratory Model
Don Bosco believed in 4 pillars of stability in a young person's life. The 4 pillars are a Home, a School, a Church and a Playground. The DBYLC combines these four fundamentally important elements to help support our youngsters.

Alex is a software developer/architect. He is also a Microsoft Regional Director, Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (Windows Development Platform), Telerik Developer Expert, Candidate of Engineering Sciences, speaker, and founder of AppClub {build, monetize}.
Alex is a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (ASP.NET/IIS in the past, now Windows Development Platform). He has created an enormous number of applications and solutions based on Microsoft technologies.
All Andrey's previous experience is connected with the development of back-end systems of various degrees of complexity. Andrey strives to adapt and use technologies permitting dramatic reductions in the amount of code required: Rx, aspect-oriented programming, use of DSL, mutation testing and TDD in real life.
Participation in many projects and giving consultations has helped Andrey to discover lots of examples of architecture and approaches to its implementation which were often saddled with mistakes of multithreading realization. During trainings and consultations multithreading is nearly always mentioned in one way or another, and this motivated Andrey to look at this problem from a new angle in order to make developers' lives easier.
Mikhail's work involves developing products for protection against threats and hacker attacks at Cezurity. He also organizes meetups of the SPB .NET Community for .NET developers in St. Petersburg. While working at Positive Technologies he was involved in development of a code analyzer which permitted locating vulnerabilities in ASP.NET applications, among others. Has experience working as a Team Lead at Acronis and Luxoft. Professional interests include static and dynamic code analysis, information security, automation of code debugging, and studying .NET CLR internal design.
While developing a source code analyzer PT Application Inspector, techniques of both static and dynamic code analysis were used. To perform dynamic analysis of ASP.NET applications they launched code in an isolated environment built on the basis of a sandbox mechanism in .NET CLR. The speaker's presentation is based on this experience. The speaker will talk about the security model in .NET Framework, the architecture of AppDomains, and will show how sandbox is used in practice and which problems it solves.
Andrey has been working in the industry for more than 15 years, having been involved in various aspects of software development, from code writing to building efficient team software processes. Andrey has had experience coding in Basic, Pascal, Foxpro, C++, C#, and a whole lot of diverse unintelligible languages like Bash or Perl. But it should be mentioned that most of his time he has dedicated to programming in C#. Lately he has taken an interest to diverse aspects of building complex software systems, starting with cores with repositories on the basis of event-sourcing databases to mobile clients on the basis of Xamarin tools.
Several large systems that Andrey's company has been developing over the last three years have been created using techniques of building distributed systems. But the infrastructure of these systems is built on standard components and, actually, a part of the infrastructure which is designed to solve technical problems of distributed systems is created manually. So, when there are common problems, there may be some ready-made solutions. The speaker has investigated frameworks which permit solving some of the issues common to distributed systems.
Margaryta is the Technical Evangelist at the UA Developer Experience and Evangelism (DX) team, Microsoft Ukraine. She supports a developer ecosystem locally for Microsoft's key platforms. Margaryta works closely with developers, startups, and students. She drives interest for Windows 8, Microsoft Azure, Windows Phone development.
Denis' occupation is programming, development of applications architecture, database design, and consulting on issues related to database operation performance. Denis has managed projects of different sizes and complexity. He has always supported the idea of developing technical communities in Ukraine and has helped this movement to grow.
Beginning with the speaker's first job, he has worked intimately with databases, solving issues from database installation to problems with productivity. Without a deep understanding of how DBMS works, it's impossible to identify and solve problems correctly. That is why the speaker considers that studying is necessary. Studying every day and constantly.
Johannes has worked as a freelance software developer in the past. He likes C# and Python. Since 2011 he has studied psychology in Heidelberg, Germany. His research is focused on the human aspects of programming.
The human factor plays a critical part in programming and must not be ignored. The speaker holds the opinion that the quality of software may be increased if its source code is written with empathy for the user. This is the subject of the speaker's research at Heidelberg University, Germany.
Please note that minor changes are possible GMT+2
Evolution of Microsoft ecosystem, its current state. What developers working with the Microsoft platform should expect in the near and distant future. Cloud services, movement towards OpenSource and cross-platforms, mobile development, technologies stack for IOT solutions creation. New APIs that will permit the creation of applications for various portable devices (watches, glasses etc.)
Contemporary applications often face the necessity of serving many clients (millions of requests), processing huge amount of data, undergoing serious load swings over time (day/night cycle, weekdays/weekends). At the same time the cloud infrastructure gives a large quantity of components which are handy to use when building systems that will provide the necessary scalability and effectiveness of the ultimate system. But in order to bring everything together, it is necessary to solve a wide range of technical problems common to distributed systems.
Typical problems that appear when building distributed systems. Examples of application, build with Orleans framework, and its main components and principles. An example of how this framework helps to solve technical problems of distributed applications. Analysis of advantages that we get when using this framework, some peculiarities of its employment and some difficulties related to its use.
ASP.NET 5 is a web framework with open initial texts that is designed for creating modern web applications and for work on Windows, Linux and Mac. It includes MVC 6 and Web API.
ASP.NET 5 will also become a base for SignalR 3. Initially ASP.NET 5 was developed for work on .NET CoreCLR, but it can also run on an entire .NET Framework. The presentation will cover essential changes and innovations.
This presentation will be useful for those who develop or plan to develop security-sensitive applications and are thinking over the design of a system extensible with plug-ins. It is also for those who are interested in technologies on the basis of which the whole security model of .NET Framework is built.
The main components of the security architecture of NET FW 4.0 and the earlier versions. Peculiarities of type safety in .NET CLR. AppDomain and Code Access Security. One's own sandboxes: how, where and when it's necessary to build them in order to execute untrusted code. How it all works in ASP.NET. Creation of an exploit for .NET Framework that will show the exit from the sandbox and an overview of attacks which can make it possible.
The understanding of how DBMS functions is often not given due consideration during the development process. It simply seems to be unnecessary when an application works well enough. But if it starts to fail… Well, it is better to be aware of such things ahead of time.
The topic of the presentation is "Deep Dive," so be ready to hold your breath. The presentation will cover the operating principles of SQL Server. There will be a deep immersion into the bowels of SQL Server, passing through all stages of request processing.
The topic of multithreading turned out to be especially important beginning from the moment when multiprocessors became widely available. Enterprise languages don't autmatically work better when they have several cores, so everything must be done manually. It's not easy and is not usually performed in the best possible way. There should be a simpler method to solve this problem.
The presentation will cover the main patterns for working with multithreading, including a description of the practical advantages and disadvantages of each pattern. Illustrated with use cases, of course. At the same time, the speaker plans to raise the issue of aggregate objects in a language and their status control, as they constantly use them in UML and on a logical level, but in practice many patterns simply disappear.
Source code is often written and then not looked at for considerable lengths of time. It needs to be written so that a programmer coming to it after such a long time is able to quickly understand it and make appropriate changes. Writing code that is understandable, without the context it was written in, is a difficult task. Programmers often feel that code is bad or good, but can this qualitative feeling be measured in a quantative way?
What makes a source code bad? How is a source code being read? How can bad code be fixed? Johannes will try to answer these questions

The ultimate positioning chair for classroom and home.
The Rifton Activity Chair provides versatile, adaptable and active seating.
Therapist-guided design of every feature
Tool free adjustments, while child is in chair
Wide range of optional accessories create a classroom chair ideal for all special needs—from the autistic student to the more involved child.
Active seating makes interactions immediate and real
Two chair base options:
Hi/Lo base for instant access to any activity
Standard base for straightforward classroom use—with or without casters.
ISO Standards Approved
|Frame Width
|Small 25, Med 27.5, Lge 29.75"

Push handles provide an easy and ergonomic way for caregiver to maneuver chair and transport user.
A headrest can be purchased with either a flat or contoured headpiece, and adjusts both horizontally and vertically for optimum positioning.
Lateral supports provide comfortable side–to–side support for user, and are fully adjustable in height, width, and angle to assist in trunk positioning. Lateral supports can be purchased with or without chest strap attached.
Lateral supports with chest strap combine lateral and anterior support in the same accessory.
The wide chest strap can provide anterior support.
Note: This wide chest strap may be used with the lateral supports, but will not be in line with them. To combine chest strap and lateral supports on the same accessory, see "Lateral supports with chest strap."
The tray provides a firm surface for seated activities such as eating and art, and adjusts in height, angle and depth. A softly-rounded rim contains spills.
Note: The tray attaches to the wooden armrests only, not to forearm prompts.
A handhold can be attached anywhere along the rim of the tray to provide additional support and security for upper–body positioning.
A butterfly harness can provide anterior support while allowing maximum freedom of movement.
The slimcut harness is similar to the butterfly harness, but was specifically designed to provide anterior support to adult female clients using the Large Rifton Activity Chair.
A thigh belt can provide additional support and security for user's thighs, and helps adduct user's knees.
The pelvic harness may be used in place of a seatbelt as the primary means of securing the user in the chair. This alternative to the more typical seatbelt gives a very stable base for developing sitting postural control. The pelvic harness firmly positions the user's pelvis by securing the hips and upper thighs, without placing pressure on the abdomen.
Hip guides provide additional lateral support to the user's hips, and can be independently adjusted for best fit. Hip guides are clipped to the arm supports and can therefore be easily removed along with the arm supports for transfers. Hip guides can be used with both types of arm supports— armrests and forearm prompts.
The abductor can be used to aid in positioning of user's knees, keeping them comfortably apart.
Adductors can be used to limit lateral movement of user's knees and provide a comfortable lateral boundary.
The leg prompt can be used instead of an abductor, and provides both abduction and adduction positioning.
The footboard provides firm support for the user's feet, particularly when the seat of the chair is raised too far for the user's feet to touch the floor. The footboard also serves as a base for ankle straps, sandals and wedges. It can support the weight of both user and caregiver during transfers, and/or can be swung beneath the seat for transfers.
Ankle straps can be used on the footboard to secure the user's feet while providing a bounded range of movement.
Note: Ankle straps cannot be used simultaneously with sandals.
Sandals can be used with the footboard to provide positive positioning of the user's feet. Adding wedges beneath the sandals allows for a custom fit of sandal height and tilt.
Note: Sandals cannot be used simultaneously with ankle straps.
Wedges can be added beneath the sandals on the footboard to customize positioning of user's feet by adjusting sandal height and tilt.
Wedges can be added beneath the sandals on the footboard to customize positioning of user's feet by adjusting sandal height and tilt.
For the child that needs additional positioning, the lumbar and seat support kit can be used to custom-cut and fit extra postural support.
The backrest filler pad can provide additional lower back support when the chair backrest is set in one of the three highest positions, resulting in an open space between the backrest and the seat. The backrest filler pad fills this gap.
Height-adjustable legs either stationary or with casters for the Standard base: Four sets of height-adjustable legs (in 1" increments) are available to position your client at optimum height for a variety of activities. The grippy tips of the stationary legs are designed to keep your client from sliding and moving across the floor, even with dynamic rocking. The legs with casters are an added feature, making your standard base chair easy to move when transitioning from one classroom to another.
Mini kit: Makes the Small Activity Chair a prime option for Early Intervention for the smallest and youngest child, from 6 months up to 2 years. Remove it as the child grows and keep using the same chair for many more years.
Some Whitmyer headrests can now be installed on all Rifton Activity Chairs. This adapter plate gives you the option to use a Whitmyer M2100 headrest mounting bracket and the Whitmyer Onyx headrest support system. (Note: Rifton supplies only the adapter plate and a wrench. Whitmyer mounting brackets and headrests must be purchased from a Whitmyer supplier.)
The Rifton Activity Chair is the most easily adjusted, versatile and therapist-friendly special needs classroom chair on the market.
Following two years of therapist-guided design, Rifton's new special needs chair nails down every feature required for daily school use.
The Rifton Activity Chair makes adjustments simple. No tools are needed for any adjustment, making it an ideal choice for the busy special needs classroom.
The Rifton Activity Chair can be easily adjusted while a child is in the chair. This saves time and makes adjustments much simpler to gauge.
The Rifton Activity Chair tilt–in–space feature encourages sit–to–stand and rest positions. The Hi/Lo base tilts 15° forward and 25° back. The Standard base tilts 15° forward and 15° back.
The optional springs on the Rifton Activity Chair allow for calming through self-stim. The spring column can be locked when not in use. The Hi/Lo base has an optional spring in the backrest, while the Standard base has optional springs in both backrest and seat, making it an ideal choice for children with autism.
Choose between wooden armrests or forearm prompts based on the needs of your client. Wooden armrests can be height- and angle-adjusted. Forearm prompts are extremely versatile in adjustment to facilitate trunk and head control while sitting, and are identical to the arm prompts used on Rifton's Pacer and Advancement Chair.
The large and medium Hi/Lo bases come with a foot pump for height adjustment. This allows you to lower the client until their feet are on the floor, or raise them to a 32" high table. The chair's height can also be easily set for lateral transfers.
The small Hi/Lo base is equipped with a gas spring to serve the same function.
The Rifton Activity Chair seat and backrest pads are made of polyurethane foam, with a polyurethane–coated fabric cover. The pads come in three choices to add color to your special needs classroom.
Australian Standards have been developed to ensure equipment meets recognised safety and reliability criteria. To achieve this status, equipment must pass a series of tests in which it is put under difficult conditions that are designed to be similar to those that the child or adult may face when the equipment is used. For example, wheelchairs are tested for safhas gained Australian Standard acceptance, it provides a sense of satisfaction and reassurance that it is safe to be used and will do the job.

Tales from a food desert
October 10, 2013
by Rebecca Bibbs
Indianapolis Recorder
When Richard Blakenbaker opened his second Richard's Market Basket store in the early 1960s at 3701 E. 38th St., he had competition from the Del Farm Foods store across the street on that busy corner at Sherman Drive.
A little more than a mile away, he competed with himself, opening a third store at 38th Street and Emerson Avenue.
The stores served the thriving Forest Manor neighborhood, where starting in 1921, the Security Trust Co. helped homeowners achieve the American dream and brake ground on their bungalows and cottages.
Those suburban pioneers tried to secure their property values by inserting clauses into the deeds that the homes could not be sold to Black people.
What Blankenbaker may not have counted on was the transformation of that neighborhood's socioeconomics, starting about the time he opened his stores when an aging population whose children were raised and out of the home left for greener pastures. Ready to return to their rural roots or retire to an apartment with less maintenance, the homeowners found ways around the discriminatory clauses.

The 'Arrow' and 'Flash' spinoff show in the works is gaining considerable momentum in it's development. Announced via CBR, The CW show has cast two more roles of it's previously 3 described new characters, and it's paid off for some internet theorists. Broadway actor Ciara Renée has been cast in the role of Kendra Sunders, AKA Hawkgirl. Later on, CBR revealed Doctor Who alum Arthur Darvill was cast as enigmatic time-traveller Rip Hunter.
It seems like we'll be expanding the previously 'no powers' universe of Arrow, to great extent if we're using characters like these. As previously stated, Rip Hunter is a time-traveller, which is a concept recently used in the TV universe. Hawkgirl, however is "a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries". This will certainly add a mystical element to the show, and hopefully they'll be able to handle this diversity.
The spinoff show will also be starring Brandon Routh as The Atom, Wentworth Miller as Captain Cold, Dominic Purcell as Heatwave, Victor Garber as Martin Stein, and Caity Lotz as a presumably Canary type character, following her 'death' on Arrow. It will most likely debut midseason next year, being outside the current pilot cycle, and will be helmed by Andrew Kreidberg, Marc Guggenheim, and Greg Berlanti.
