Your reception area makes the first impression. The right office reception desk can project an image that is both striking and professional. Hertz Furniture has a wide selection of styles that can blend seamlessly with any office decor. Where can you get the best modern reception desk? Whether you prefer the modern, traditional or something in between, you are sure to find options that fit your taste at Hertz Furniture.
Our reception desks have great features that will be appreciated by receptionists and clients alike. We have various shapes, sizes and layouts. Many of our receptionist desks are part of office furniture collections so they can be coordinated with your reception furniture.
What is the difference between an office desk and a reception desk?
Unlike classic office desks, reception desks are distinguished by raised counters which offer many benefits for both receptionists and clients. Transaction counters provide a convenient space for filling out forms and distributing important information. They also separate the receptionist from what might be a noisy or distracting work environment. Because a receptionist often sits in a more open space that might include guest seating, raised reception counters create a separate personal workspace that is slightly removed from the hustle and bustle. Many reception counters also offer additional storage features such as letter organizers. These are especially convenient for keeping the documents that are needed on any given day easily accessible.
What kind of office storage does a receptionist need?
Because receptionists are often busy and need to stay extremely organized, reception desks need to offer enough storage space for office supplies and filing. Most office desks come with two pedestals. Pedestals are either full length or ¾. You can choose pedestals that have only file drawers or a mix of box drawers and file drawers. If you work in a school office or doctor's office, more file drawers might be necessary to keep all of the paperwork in order. When ordering an office desk, the weight capacity of the drawers should be verified to ensure that your new furniture will accommodate your storage needs.
In additional to the usual pedestals there is often the option of a pencil drawer. The pencil drawer sits directly under the desk surface. It offers a great place for your most often-used office supplies such as favorite pens, scissors, paper clips or spare staples. Some of the reception desks have lined drawers for a more luxurious look and feel.
Where should I put the computer on my reception desk?
In the modern workplace, computers are a necessity. Computer-friendly desks eliminate clutter and make it easier to arrange a work space. Most reception desks come with built-in wire-management grommets. These make it easy to position the computer on your desk and route cables toward a power source without running wires around or along the work surface. The less wires there are on the top of your receptionist desk, the more space there is for other necessary items.
Pull-out keyboard trays are another great desk accessory for computer users. They maintain an open workspace because they sit under the main work surface and easily slide in and out. A keyboard tray also helps position the body in a healthy posture, which reduces aches and pains.
What style reception furniture will fit my company?
Style should definitely be a major consideration when choosing a receptionist desk. This one piece of reception furniture is the focal point of your waiting room or lobby, so making the right choice is key. You might prefer the sleek modern reception desk with frosted glass accents if you are furnishing a high-tech firm or cutting-edge advertising agency. Alternatively, if you are looking to outfit a law office or accounting firm, having a rich mahogany or natural wood finish might just be the better option.
Hertz Furniture carries reception desks from some of the leading office furniture manufacturers. You can choose from DMI, Mayline, ABCO or High Point in a variety of styles and finishes. Desks are also available in a selection of configurations. Most styles come in both right- and left-handed models. When you buy a reception desk from Hertz Furniture you get a winning combination of decades of expertise and experience as well as a complimentary extended warranty on many items. Need help choosing the right one? Contact the Hertz Design Center for free project-planning advice from the experts.

The toughest test of a card player comes not with a big hand or a sheer bust, but rather with cards somewhere in between. Then it's not the deal that makes the difference — it's the sheer skill of the player.
The hand President Obama was playing in his latest State of the Union speech could scarcely be called a powerhouse. Pre-speech coverage was dominated by polls showing his approval rating well underwater and the national mood dyspeptic at best. Even the improving macroeconomic picture seemed to have cheered few at the personal level, and the "right-direction-wrong-track" poll question was decidedly downbeat.
Reviews of the president's fifth year in office dwelt on a parade of bad stories, from the failure of gun control measures in the Senate to the stalling of immigration changes in the House to the revelations of government surveillance and data-gathering — all of it topped off with the meltdown of Obamacare in its first months of full implementation. On the foreign front, a possible breakthrough with Iran was overshadowed by civil war in Syria, the quagmire in Afghanistan and renewed unrest in Iraq, Egypt and South Sudan.
Yet the embattled president was not without cards to play on this night. Congress has an even deeper trough in its public approval than the White House. The Republicans bore the brunt of opprobrium for the federal government's partial shutdown in October, and had briefly seemed in free fall themselves.
Polls also showed the public strongly supportive of a higher minimum wage, extended benefits for the long-term unemployed and new rules on immigration — precisely the policy fronts on which the president planned to press forward against strong Republican resistance.
In other words, neither party came to this year's State of the Union table in a dominant position, though there surely were partisans on either side who thought they did. In the media, many stressed the long fall the president had taken since his emergence as an almost magical persona in the presidential primaries six years ago. Now the cable TV stories asked: "Is Obama already a lame duck?" Yet most were quick to add that the GOP was hobbled by miscues and was so riven with factional debate that the official party response to the State of the Union (by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers) was followed by two separate Tea Party retorts (by Sens. Mike Lee and Rand Paul).
Given this downbeat context, and noting the chief executive's rather lackluster public performances in recent months, expectations for this State of the Union were not nearly so high as they were last year. Then, the president was fresh off his re-election, replete with vindication and seeking fresh worlds to conquer. That contrast may have helped the president, who seemed to draw a kind of inspiration Tuesday night from the uninspiring circumstances of the moment.
For purposes of his one-hour address to the nation, the president once again proved himself a gamer. He was brisk and confident, the master of a text we are told was in preparation since November. Having telegraphed for days his intended emphasis on "income inequality," the president tacked slightly by talking instead of "inequality of opportunity." That caught Rodgers slightly off-guard. Her text was already written to say that opportunity was the important thing, not income. It's a subtle point, perhaps, but one that afforded the president a slight edge (and demonstrated again why it is better to be the king than the king's critic).
Obama also managed to avoid a remarkable, even breathtaking array of issues one might have thought he had to deal with. He declared Obamacare to be more successful than most people think, and really, how high a bar is that? He also slid past the National Security Agency scandal that has cost him dearly on the left, and he made no mention of the deportations that have so angered immigrants' rights groups.
Yes, he touched the various constituency buttons on issues such as climate change and environmental damage. And yes, he once again gave primacy to revamping the immigration laws. But here, as elsewhere in the speech, he showed deference to House Speaker John Boehner. Obama seemed to suggest he was still willing to deal with the Republican from Ohio, especially if Boehner is able to keep his often-unruly troops in line. The president implicitly saluted Boehner for doing so on the federal budget compromise vote in December.
In sum, the Obama who delivered the speech was a nimble and adaptable player. It is the tragedy of this presidency that, to date, he has not been nearly as adept at the less-dramatic business of actually dealing with the Congress, the federal bureaucracy, the media or any of other power centers — including foreign governments.
The president has, in recent weeks, added new staff in critical positions, including senior adviser John Podesta, who is a veteran of Bill Clinton's later years in the White House, and new faces in the legislative affairs office. There is some cause for hope that these new players will help the president extend his talent for presentation to produce more successes in policymaking.

Sacred 2 is a purely action-based role-playing game, featuring six diverse and in-depth characters, each with their own distinct gameplay style. SACRED 2 will offer the player two different campaigns; one in the Light, the other in Shadow. The chosen path will influence the reception of the player in different environments; a city which welcomed a good character is likely to be hostile towards an evil one.
Learn stunning fighting techniques and sophisticated spells. Collect a huge variety of weapons and objects and enhance the character's attributes to create a unique, personalised hero.
A Hero's Decision Affects the Lives of Many
It is time to choose your destiny, whether to champion the cause of good or to delve into the twisted paths of evil.
The setting is nearly 2,000 years prior to the events of SACRED. The player assumes the role of one of six characters and enters into a story of quests and secrets, magic and sorcery, power and honour.
At the heart of the world of SACRED is the T-energy. For a long time it was the angelic Seraphim who watched over the T Energy, and therefore over the fate of the entire world. They passed their knowledge on to the civilised High Elves, so that they could benefit from the richness of T-Energy. The realm of the High Elves bloomed in prosperity, cementing it as the reigning culture in Ancaria.
As comes with all power, the snakes of deceit and unrest reared their hands and bared their fangs. The enormity of the energy was not something which the children of Ancaria had been taught to handle. And so it was that the tendrils of fear and loathing began to take apart that which the High Elves had built…
The player must choose their path wisely, as both Light and Shadow campaigns weave alternative journeys across the world of SACRED 2, where the unwary traveller may be aided or attacked by the various inhabitants in the vast land of Ancaria.
Dryad or Seraphim, High Elf or Inquisitor, Temple Guardian or Shadow Warrior, you must now take up your steel, recite your spells and prepare yourself for the harrowing conflict ahead. For good or ill, the gods are watching as a new dawn approaches.
Sacred 2 is currently scheduled for release in Q1 2008.

Avoiding Super Bowl Sunday Disaster... Super Bowl Sunday is a great excuse to get together with friends and family and pig out while watching football. Unfortunately, many of those same party foods can be dangerous for your pet. Here are five things you should keep far, far away from your cat or dog on Super Bowl Sunday. 1. Alcohol: Having a frosty one with your friends is quite alright (if you're of legal drinking age, that is). Allowing your pet to partake of the beer is quite another. Consumption of as little as a few ounces of beer or other alcoholic beverages can result in ethanol poisoning in dogs and cats. Signs of poisoning include involuntary urinating, hypothermia, slowed breathing, and even heart attacks. 2. Chicken Wings: Despite being an enshrined staple of football parties, chicken wings may prove problematic if your pet should stealthily grab one (or two!). In fact, the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP) recently warned pet owners not to feed their pets chicken wings due to the risk of intestinal obstruction — or worse. Another often overlooked risk of chicken wings is salt. "One buffalo wing has almost 160 to 200 mg of sodium," said Dr. Ernie Ward, founder and president of APOP. "That's about the amount of sodium recommended for a 20-pound dog in a day. Feeding a dog too much salt can cause high blood pressure and can contribute to kidney and heart disease." 3. Chocolate: Though it comes in many shapes and sizes, one thing rings true for all forms of chocolate — it can be poisonous to your dog or cat. The compound in chocolate that is of major concern is theobromine, which is most concentrated in dark chocolate and unsweetened baking chocolate — the kind of chocolates found in brownies and chocolate chip cookies, in other words. Chocolate poisoning can cause heart arrhythmias, muscle tremors, and seizures.
4. Soda: Americans will spend over $2 million on sodas and other soft drinks during Super Bowl weekend, according to Shape.com. That is a lot of soda and a lot of caffeine, which isn't so great if your furry friend should get to any of it. Caffeinated drinks (and foods) can cause your dog or cat to suffer from restlessness, breathing issues, heart palpitations, and muscle tremors. 5. Guacamole: Your tortilla chips just wouldn't be the same without some guacamole piled atop them. Sadly, this creamy dip's recipe calls for three ingredients that are dangerous to dogs and cats: avocado, garlic, and onion. When consumed in sufficient quantity, onions and garlic can cause gastrointestinal issues, elevated heart rate, and red blood cell damage. Avocado toxicity, meanwhile, can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and lack of stool production. 2/28/2020 01:57:18 am

I am excited today. Atwitter, in fact. Tweet.
Ted, the one and only Ted, he of The Princess Diaries and Knitterguy, is coming to visit. The sheep have been outdoing themselves making the humble abode presentable and yesterday I heard the band practicing "If I Knew You Were Comin' I'd Have Baked a Cake" (Dolores has a harmonica solo).
Somehow, though, until last night we all overlooked a detail of paramount importance.
Ted is Canadian.
We have relatively little in-person experience of Canadians at my house. It's one thing to make contact through the blogs, and they sure seem like nice people, but it's another to actually host one. I'm not certain we're properly prepared. Among my worries:
- Should I crank up the air conditioning to "Severe Wind Chill" so he'll feel at home?
- Will I have to say everything to him twice, once in English and once in French?
- Do Canadians have special dietary needs? Or can I just feed him normal food?
- Will he expect to play hockey every morning before breakfast?
- Would it be unwise to mention Celine Dion in a negative light? Am I capable of mentioning Celine Dion in any other light?
- On a related note, are Canadians still touchy about the ultimate failure of Bryan Adams to achieve staying power on the pop charts?
- Do I still have that Mountie uniform in the back of the closet?
- Should I have taken the time to finally figure out what the hell "curling" is?
- If I giggle every time he says "about" will he get upset?
Dolores says we'll be okay as long as he doesn't smell our fear. Wish us luck, eh?

Hello! I'm Cherie from you & mie and I'm soooo excited to be here sharing this knock off tutorial with you today! I love sewing all sorts of things, but sewing for my daughter is my absolute favorite. I'm also a huge fan of Heidi's and I think this series is absolutely brilliant - I mean, who doesn't love a good knock off?!
But I didn't realize just how hard it was going to be to pin down just ONE thing to knock off! There are soooo many awesome store bought outfits out there just waiting to be made at home. I checked out some of my favorite knock-off inspiration pinboards (here, here, and here) and consulted with my favorite idea girl, Kristin, and with her help FINALLY decided on this Mini Boden Quilted Jacket.
I love that the jacket is super stylish, warm and comfy and the bias tape finishing actually makes the construction really quite simple. I also love unisex patterns AND, get this, it can be reversible!! The most time consuming part is the quilting, but it goes quickly once you get going (or you can buy pre-quilted fabric). So let's get started!
You'll need:
- Main fabric
- Lining fabric
- Batting
- Double fold bias tape
- 4 buttons (or 8 if you're making a reversible jacket)
- Chalk or fabric marking pen
- Coordinating thread
- Walking foot (optional)
Draft your pattern:
To draft your pattern, start with jacket or top that fits well and draft the back piece on the fold. The jacket has a slight A-line shape, so draw a slight slant from the bottom of the armhole to the bottom corner of the pattern.
I need to mention that my jacket turned out quite snug on my daughter and I'm wondering if the batting had something to do with that. I'd suggest giving your pattern some extra wiggle room when you draft it.
To draft the front piece, trace the shoulder, armhole and side and bottom of the back pattern. The neckline should scoop lower and the center should extend past the back piece (mine extended 1.5 inches) and round your edges.
Using your well-fitting jacket, draft a pattern for the sleeves, a 3 piece hood and a pocket.
Cut your fabric:
Here's what you'll need to cut . . .
*If you want to make the jacket reversible, cut 4 pockets of the lining fabric as well.*
When I cut my batting, I pinned the main fabric to it and just roughly cut around it in case the batting shifted.
Now, we quilt! We're only going to quilt the main fabric to the batting. Because I'm sorta anal, I wanted to center my diamonds. So first mark a line down the center of the pattern piece. Then make another line at 45 degrees. I decided to make my lines 1.75 inches apart, so I cut a piece of cardboard of that width to help mark the rest of the lines. Once you have your lines marked, sew along each line, using a walking foot if you have one.
To center your diamonds, draw a 45 degree angle going the other direction making sure to cross a point where the center line intersects with one of the lines you already quilted (red dot). Use your cardboard ruler to mark the rest of your lines and quilt. Trim the excess batting.
Repeat these steps to quilt all of your main/batting pieces.
Construct hood:
With right sides together, pin the curved side of the hood to the center panel and sew. Repeat with the other side. Press seams open.
Top stitch along the inside of your hood seams.
Attach pockets:
Position your pockets (right sides together) on the front and back pieces of the jacket, making sure they line up. Sew along the straight edge. Press open.
Attach shoulder seams:
Pin the front and back pieces right sides together at the shoulder and sew. Press seams open.
Attach hood:
Line up the center of the jacket back with the center of the hood and pin, right sides together. Pin the hood along neckline. You want at least 2-3 inches of the jacket front to extend past the edge of the hood (I had to trim my hood back a little bit for it to fit). Sew the hood on and press seam open.
You'll have the extra seam allowance along the top edge that extends past the hood. Trim that down and round the edge (I think this will make more sense as you're sewing).
Attach sleeves:
Pin the center of the sleeve to the shoulder seam and then carefully pin the rest of the sleeve along the armhole, curving the fabric as you go. When sewing, start from the shoulder seam and work your way down to the bottom of the armhole slowly. Then start back at the shoulder seam to sew the other side of the sleeve. Repeat with second sleeve and press.
Top stitch along the inside of the sleeve seam.
Side seams:
Turn your jacket inside out and pin the sleeves, sides and pockets together and sew. Clip corners. Flip your jacket right side out (your pocket will automatically be turned in) and press seams well.
Construct lining:
Follow the same steps to construct your lining, omitting the top stitching (if you are making a reversible jacket, add the pockets as you did previously. If not, skip those steps). This should come together really quickly and easily this time around!
Attach lining:
Once your lining is complete, slip it into the outer layer of the jacket, wrong sides together. Make sure to carefully line up the seams and edges. Pockets should be pointed towards the front of the jacket and be hidden between the lining and jacket. Baste along the outside of the jacket very close to the edge to attach the layers together.
Binding edges:
We're almost done! To finish the edges, unfold your bias tape and starting from the bottom of the jacket, a few inches from a side seam, pin your bias tape along the edge of the jacket. Make sure to leave several inches of bias tape free before you start pinning. Continue along the entire edge of the jacket, being careful around curves. You should have one continuous long edge starting at the side seam, up the front of the jacket, around the hood, back down the other side and along the bottom. When you get close to where you started, measure where the ends will meet and sew the two ends of the bias tape together.
Sew along the crease of the bias tape closest to the edge. Flip the bias tape over the edge of the jacket and fold the other edge of the bias tape back under. Make sure to cover the stitch line with the edge of the bias tape and pin. From the outside of the jacket, top stitch along the bias tape just next to the seam.
For the sleeve, measure the length around the sleeve and cut two pieces of bias tape one inch longer. Unfold your bias tape and sew the ends right sides together with a 1/2 inch seam allowance creating a tube. Press seam open. Pin the bias tape along the edge of the sleeve and repeat same steps as before to attach binding.
Buttons and buttonholes:
Sew on your buttons and make buttonholes where desired. If you are making a reversible jacket, sew buttons to both sides of the jacket.
And you're done!
I hope you can make your little one something warm and comfy this season. Please feel free to visit me at you & mie some time and if you make a quilted jacket, please add it to the you & mie flickr group because I love to see your creations!
Thanks so much for having me Heidi. I'm so glad I was able to join in on the knock-off fun.

Class Central Tips
Synbio is a diverse field with diverse applications, and the different contexts (e.g., gain-of-function research, biofuels) raise different ethical and governance challenges. The objective of this course is to increase learners' awareness and understanding of ethical and policy/governance issues that arise in the design, conduct and application of synthetic biology. The course will begin with a short history of recombinant DNA technology and how governance of that science developed and evolved, and progress through a series of areas of application of synbio.
Content will be presented in many forms, including not only reading and lectures, but also recorded and live interviews and discussions with scientists, ethicists and policy makers. Learners will have the opportunity to think, write and talk about the issues and challenges in their own work and in real-life case examples. A final project will engage students in the development of governance models for synbio.

Joe Balku, 76, learned that the 80-foot Norway spruce had been chosen for the honor four weeks ago. Sandy hit two weeks later.
Balku watched the tree, which weighs 10 tons and is 50 feet in diameter, as it swayed in the backyard.
"I kept going outside during the night. I lost two trees, an oak and an evergreen, but the big tree was tied up for its protection," Balku said.
His electricity went out, but on the morning after the storm, the tree was still standing and his home did not sustain any damage.
The tree was about 22-feet tall when Balku purchased the home in 1973.
Balku had two generators running to power his home in the rural community about an hour from Manhattan. He didn't have cable TV or Internet service.
Electricity was restored on Saturday.
The tree will be loaded on a 115-foot-long flatbed truck and erected at Rockefeller Center on Wednesday. Workers will then string 45,000 lights on the branches.
"It's a thrill of a lifetime to have the chance to donate the tree to Rockefeller Center and for millions of people to see it all over the world," he said.
The 80th Christmas tree lighting will take place on Nov. 28.

A team of medical physicists at the Cross Cancer Institute in Alberta, Canada has come up with an innovative approach to treat cancer. In affiliation with The Linac-MR Project, the team led by Gino Fallone aims to improve the accuracy of cancer treatment by reducing damage to healthy tissue surrounding a tumor site, while ensuring the tumor receives the intended radiation dose. They are accomplishing this through the development of a hybrid linear particle accelerator (Linac) integrated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The hybrid Linac-MR system is designed for real-time image-guided tumor tracking that can detect and compensate for motion of the body during treatment. It's obviously a terrific idea because it vastly improves the efficacy of treatment for patients. How do they make it work?
Design Challenges for the Linac-MR Project Team
The development of the hybrid Linac-MR system comes with a very unique set of challenges that were explained by Fallone in the article "MRI Tumor-Tracked Cancer Treatment" appearing on page 18 in the 2013 edition of COMSOL News. In order to meet their objectives, the team designed an MRI system, a Linac for radiotherapy, and then determined the optimal hybridized configuration. The design of the room that houses the hybrid Linac-MR system was also an important consideration since it must shield operators and other equipment from x-rays and electromagnetic fields coming from the Linac and MRI systems.
"It would be difficult to overstate the different engineering and physics issues within the Linac-MR Project" says Fallone in the COMSOL News article. Integrating the two systems requires an in-depth understanding of how one system affects the performance of the other. The Linac incorporates an RF waveguide that accelerates electrons toward a target with a high atomic number to produce the x-rays required to destroy tumor cells. RF generated by the Linac interferes with the detection of weak RF signals required by the MRI system to construct a 3-dimensional image with excellent soft tissue contrast. In addition, the magnetic field from MRI is strong and interferes with Linac operation by deflecting the electron beam, causing it to miss the target.
Magnetostatic and Electromagnetic Simulation
To overcome these challenges, the team has used COMSOL Multiphysics to better understand the physical effects that degrade the performance of the Linac-MR system. Magnetostatic simulations were important in the design of shielding to protect the Linac and prevent the degradation of image quality from MRI. At first, the shield was a 5 cm thick steel plate that measured 200 cm by 200 cm. Using simulation, they were able to reduce the shield to a 30 cm radius and 6 cm thickness resulting in a weight that is approximately one-third of the original value.
Simulation proved invaluable in optimizing the geometry of the hybridized Linac-MR system. Designs where the MR scanner could move in the transverse and longitudinal directions, shown in the figures below, were proposed and evaluated.
Transverse rotating biplanar geometry. | Longitudinal rotating biplanar geometry. |
Initially, the transverse geometry complete with circular shield was built and tested as shown in the following images.
Front-view of the Linac system. | Side-view of the Linac system. |
Simulation and experiments were performed to investigate angle-specific field variations that could reduce image quality. To do this, the Linac system was rotated around the MR scanner. Fallone and his team found that mounting the Linac system and MR scanner onto the same gantry would allow them to move together and reduce distortion in the field. This unified configuration is referred to as a rotating biplanar geometry.
The longitudinal geometry variation, however, requires a hole in the center of the magnet for x-rays to pass through. This can lead to field inhomogeneity that was evaluated and optimized using simulation.
Another interesting and important detail they had to consider was the design of the Linac system. Their plan calls for a system capable of producing a 10 MeV electron beam. Initially, they estimated that a 70 cm long waveguide would be required. However, simulation results (shown in the figures below) revealed that a 30 cm waveguide would be sufficient. The smaller waveguide means that they can build a smaller room for the Linac-MR, further reducing the room shielding costs.

Milestones for the Linac-MR Project
The Linac-MR Project team has already met, and is on its way to achieve, some very significant milestones. The project began in 2005, and after only three years they presented the first working prototype of a transverse Linac-MR. By 2016, they expect to have a whole-body Linac-MR in public use.

New Year, New Hope, New Joy
The new year dawns, brightly.
We have our news. Everything is, as they say, fine. It was always going to be fine, we knew, no matter what, but at least now, for now, we have a 'fine' that we can understand, that we can wrap our hearts and minds around a little more easily.

We call them "buttons" and "deadrolls" — and, less cryptically, "breaks" — but most NPR listeners know them as the interstitial music spots that pepper NPR's newsmagazines. They add shading, mood, energy and other nonverbal context to our stories.
On All Things Considered, as on other NPR shows, that music is chosen by each episode's respective director — former show director Bob Boilen actually launched the program All Songs Considered as a way of highlighting his most intriguing selections — and is usually word-free, at least in the passages used on air. But until Wednesday, we've never had a band perform a show's interstitial music live; countless musicians have performed on our newsmagazines, but never as a house band.
Enter Los Straitjackets, whose members have been performing upbeat instrumental surf-rock jams for nearly a quarter of a century, all while clad in their signature Mexican wrestling masks. Not long after releasing their 12th album, this year's Jet Set, Los Straitjackets approached All Things Considered about sitting in for an episode — spending a day hanging out at NPR's Washington, D.C., headquarters, and helping to provide the show's soundtrack.
Though Los Straitjackets' playful but evocative music has frequently appeared in movies and on TV shows, the group has never composed music specifically to suit the mood and tone of a given scene. But for just one day, it's giving the news a soundtrack, talking to All Things Considered host Melissa Block and toasting the late jazzman Dave Brubeck with a brief rendition of his best-known tune, "Take Five."

Sizing and Care
How to Care for Your Tee
We get it, you want to wear your Landmark Tee every chance you get. Although your t-shirt will inevitably show some wear and tear as the years go by (and we urge you to cherish these signs of continual devotion), there are some ways to extend the life of your t-shirt. So if you're wondering how to care for a screen-printed t-shirt properly, here's some tried-and-true tips and tricks.
1. Stick with cold water.
Hot water is very harsh and typically unnecessary. By using cold water, you'll be treating your tees to a gentler bath and preventing unnecessary strain. Plus, you'll use less electricity, reducing your impact on the environment and lowering your utility bill!
2. Avoid harsh cleaning products.
Put away the bleach and avoid harsh detergents. Like hot water, they aren't needed and they may slowly destroy the condition of your t-shirts. Instead, find a gentle detergent and use a basic (no bleach) stain remover when necessary.
3. Turn your tees inside out.
It only takes a moment to turn your screen-printed tees inside out before placing them in the washing machine (or under a hot iron), but this simple step will reduce fading and stress. If the quality of the screen-printed design is important to you, reduce its contact with the washing machine to ensure that the ink won't be strained. Speaking of which . . .
4. Don't wash after every use.
Some of you are probably recoiling in disgust right now, but remember that every time you wash and dry your clothes, you're speeding up the aging process. If your t-shirt is truly dirty (i.e., there is visible dirt, a stain, or a smell), wash it. If not, fold it back up and return it to your closet.
5. Dry on low heat.
Heat is your t-shirt's worst enemy. In addition to avoiding hot water, keep your tee away from high-heat dryer settings. Instead, tumble dry low to prevent damage as well as shrinkage.
How to Care for Your Enamel Mug
Outdoorsmen and women love enamelware for its durability and ease of cleaning. That's not to say enamel mugs won't chip or dent (they are made of steel and ceramic after all), but following a few simple steps will ensure that your mug withstands your adventurous lifestyle.
1. Avoid the Microwave.
Cook with enamelware all you want, but avoid the microwave. This may seem like a no-brainer, but not everyone knows that beneath the ceramic coating is metal.
2. Hand Wash.
Yes, your mug is dishwasher safe. But because it may come into contact with other dishes or hard surfaces, it is best to wash by hand with mild dish soap.
3. Remove Stains.
Wine, coffee, or tea may discolor your mug even after washing. A lemon juice / baking soda mixture left to soak in your mug for 10-15 minutes will do the trick!
4. Dry after Washing.
After washing, dry your mug off with a dishcloth, as any exposed metal may corrode.
5. Pack Securely.
Enamelware is prone to chipping, so pack only near soft items in your bag. When chips happen, apply cooking oil to exposed area. Discontinue use if chips are found on the lip or inside the cup.
How to Care for Your Landmark Poster
1. Protect the Edges.
Even if your poster brushes against another object, the edges are prone to dents, so handle with care!
2. Avoid Extra Hardware
Never apply rubber bands, paper clips, or tape to your poster as these all have the potential to damage the paper.
3. Wash Your Hands.
Only handle with clean, dry hands in a clean work area. Remove all food and drinks from your surroundings. With these culprits around, anything can happen!
4. Put It Under Glass
Frame your poster as soon as possible to prevent bad things (see #3) from happening. Ask Landmark's customer service for framing recommendations.
5. Hang It Properly
Store or hang your poster in a cool, dry environment (avoid attics, basements, and proximity to radiators and vents). Avoid exposure to direct or intense sunlight.

Letter: All little hearts deserve same chance
February 13, 2013Tax reform questions raised
February 13, 2013Dear Editor,
Chuck Hagel has indicated that he supports the $500 billion in defense cuts that could go into effect this year and, for that reason, he should not be confirmed as secretary of Defense.
Hagel's defense cuts would damage our military and will negatively affect America's standing abroad. The U.S. needs targeted cuts to all aspects of the budget and should not solely focus on gutting the Defense Department in order to get our national debt under control.
Military installations critical to Louisiana's economy would be damaged by Hagel's cuts and could mean the loss of nearly 19,000 Louisiana jobs.
Sen. Landrieu has indicated that she is still weighing her vote on the Hagel confirmation. I hope she and Sen. Vitter make the right choice and vote to preserve Louisiana's military community and our national security.
Howard Veeder,
Baton Rouge, La.

After stumbling across the artwork of Michelle Armas, I knew it was exactly what I had been waiting for, and her art would be just the inspiration I needed.
{instagram} |
Once upon a time, we used a giant ol' thrift store frame to create a pretty memo board.
And I used it and loved it. But I also loved that frame and because my studio wasn't finished, I wasn't using it as much as I had originally hoped. So, the frame started getting used around the house for other projects. So, when you saw the painted dresser, the frame was no longer there....
But, now that I am re-invigorated to move forward with updating the space, organizing it for Home Office month and using it daily, I wanted that memo board to come back to its original home.
A little fabric update {simple linen to tone things down}, a swap from horizontal to vertical, a photo and the new artwork to the right and some white balance adjusting on my camera, and I now have a fresh new look!
I have been playing musical lamps lately and the lamp that once lived on the dresser now lives next to the sofa in the family room, so I "borrowed" Preston's lamp as a stand in until I can find my own, or a different one for him.
I am now playing with some ideas to update the paint color on the dresser, or to bring in a solid, beautiful wood console instead since I don't have any wood toned furniture in the studio and I think it is just what the space needs {there is and will be a lot of white with pops of color going on in the rest of the room and I could use the dresser in our master bedroom for linen storage}. Until then, the deep blue already blends a bit nicer with the softer accents above. Only time will tell...
The memo board is beautiful and although we just updated it this week, I am already having fun pinning up current color trends, cards received, color palette ideas, business cards, photos, etc...
Funny how a simple update can re-inspire one to dive back into a room makeover.
How about a fun progression shot to show what a few minor tweaks can do?
And here is the direction I am hoping to go with the studio, however, knowing me, it's very likely to continue to be "tweaked" as well.
{source: basket, console, lamp, memo board, chandelier, chair, rug, art, magazine file, stool} |
What updates have you made this month, that are leaving you invigorated and excited to use your space? Anyone else have a memo board and loooove it?

Uncle Sam cut spending and businesses drew down inventories in the fourth quarter of 2012, causing the U.S. economy to contract for the first time in more than three years.
But don't start throwing around the R-word just yet.
"No one I know would seriously call this an indicator of recession," said Bill Hampel, chief economist with the Credit Union National Association.
Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation's economic growth, contracted at an annual rate of 0.1% from October to December, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. It was the first quarterly contraction since the second quarter of 2009, amid the Great Recession.
Related: Automatic spending cuts more likely now
While a contraction is never encouraging, economists pointed to temporary effects that may have caused a one-time dip, and they see better growth ahead.
It's "the best-looking contraction in U.S. GDP you'll ever see," Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist for Capital Economics said in a research note. "The drag from defense spending and inventories is a one-off. The rest of the report is all encouraging."
A large cut in federal spending, primarily on defense, was one of the biggest drags on growth. Defense spending contracted at a 22% annual rate.
Alan Kreuger, head of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, attributed the deep decline to the looming sequestration deadline.
"A likely explanation for the sharp decline in Federal defense spending is uncertainty concerning the automatic spending cuts that were scheduled to take effect in January, and are currently scheduled to take effect on March 1st," he said in a blog post.
Defense spending tends to be a volatile number in the GDP report, and is unlikely to decline so dramatically next quarter, Hampel said.
The other major drag came from business inventories declining in the fourth quarter. When that happens, it often signals businesses will have to buy more goods in the upcoming quarter to restock their shelves, which could lead to stronger growth in the first quarter of 2013.
"Businesses were selling in the fourth quarter, but not replacing the stuff on the shelves," Hampel said. "When inventories fall in one quarter, they're really likely to rise the next quarter."
Related: Housing to drive economic growth (finally!)
Some of that could be due to Hurricane Sandy. The Commerce Department estimates the storm led to a $35.8 billion loss in private fixed assets and an $8.6 billion loss in government fixed assets in the fourth quarter.
Aside from those factors, there were positive signs in the report. Consumer spending makes up the largest part of the U.S. economy and accelerated at a 2.2% annual rate in the fourth quarter.
"The basic engine of the economy looks to be in good shape," Hampel said.
Economists are predicting the U.S. economy will bounce back in the first quarter of 2013, and stay on trend with a 2% to 2.5% growth rate seen during the recovery.
A gradual housing recovery is likely to be a big contributor to that growth.
Meanwhile, sequestration remains a threat to the economy over the short term, as chances are growing that automatic, across-the-board government spending cuts may soon take effect. The cuts could slash the amount federal agencies are allowed to spend by $85 billion over seven months.
"Today's report is a reminder of the importance of the need for Congress to act to avoid self-inflicted wounds to the economy," Krueger said.
Weak global demand for American-made goods and services, particularly from Europe and China, also remains a concern.
"The momentum in the economy is positive, but not booming," Hampel said.
Wednesday's GDP report is the Commerce Department's first estimate for the fourth quarter figures. The government plans to revise the numbers twice over the next two months.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency Anemia
Topic Overview
What is vitamin B12 deficiency anemia?
Having vitamin B12 deficiency means that your body does not have enough of this vitamin. You need B12 to make red blood cells, which carry oxygen through your body. Not having enough B12 can lead to anemia, which means your body does not have enough red blood cells to do the job. This can make you feel weak and tired. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause damage to your nerves and can affect memory and thinking.
What causes vitamin B12 deficiency anemia?
Most people get more than enough B12 from eating meat, eggs, milk, and cheese. Normally, the vitamin is absorbed by your digestive system—your stomach and intestines. Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia usually happens when the digestive system is not able to absorb the vitamin. This can happen if:
- You have pernicious anemia. In this anemia, your body destroys the cells in your stomach that help you absorb vitamin B12.
- You have had surgery to remove part of the stomach or the last part of your small intestine, called the ileum. This includes some types of surgery used to help very overweight people lose weight.
- You have problems with the way your body digests food, such as sprue (also called celiac disease), Crohn's disease, bacteria growth in the small intestine, or a parasite.
This anemia can also happen if you don't eat enough foods with B12, but this is rare. People who eat a vegan diet and older adults who don't eat a variety of foods may need to take a daily vitamin pill to get enough B12. Other causes include drinking alcohol and taking some prescription and nonprescription medicines.
What is the recommended daily amount of vitamin B12?
The amount of vitamin B12 you need depends on your age.
Age (years) |
Daily amount of B12 (micrograms) |
1–3 |
0.9 mcg |
4–8 |
1.2 mcg |
9–13 |
1.8 mcg |
14 and older |
2.4 mcg |
Pregnant women |
2.6 mcg |
Breast–feeding women |
2.8 mcg |
What foods contain B12?
Vitamin B12 is found in foods from animals, such as meat, seafood, milk products, poultry, and eggs. It is not in foods from plants unless it has been added to the food (fortified). Some foods, like cereals, are fortified with vitamin B12.
Supplements containing only B12, or B12 along with other B vitamins and/or folate, are readily available. Also, B12 is usually in multivitamins. Check the label to find out how much B12 is in a supplement.
Food |
Serving size |
B12 amount (microgram) |
Beef liver |
3 ounces |
71 mcg |
Clams |
3 ounces |
84 mcg |
Cereal fortified with 100% daily value for B12 |
1 serving |
6 mcg |
Rainbow trout |
3 ounces |
3 mcg |
Nonfat plain yogurt |
8 ounces |
1 mcg |
Large egg |
1 egg |
½ mcg |
Chicken breast |
½ breast |
½ mcg |
What are the symptoms?
If your vitamin B12 deficiency is mild, you may not have symptoms or you may not notice them. Some people may think they are just the result of growing older. As the anemia gets worse, you may:
- Feel weak, tired, and lightheaded.
- Have pale skin.
- Have a sore, red tongue or bleeding gums.
- Feel sick to your stomach and lose weight.
- Have diarrhea or constipation.
If the level of vitamin B12 stays low for a long time, it can damage your nerve cells. If this happens, you may have:
- Numbness or tingling in your fingers and toes.
- A poor sense of balance.
- Depression.
- A decrease in mental abilities.
How is vitamin B12 deficiency anemia diagnosed?
Your doctor will examine you and ask questions about your past health and how you are feeling now. You will also have blood tests to check the number of red blood cells and to see if your body has enough vitamin B12.
The level of folic acid, another B vitamin, will be checked too. Some people whose vitamin B12 levels are too low also have low levels of folic acid. The two problems can cause similar symptoms. But they are treated differently.
How is it treated?
Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia is treated with supplements of vitamin B12. Taking supplements brings your level of vitamin B12 back to normal, so you do not have symptoms. To keep your level of vitamin B12 normal, you will probably need to take supplements for the rest of your life. If you stop taking them, you'll get anemia again.
Your vitamin B12 supplements might be pills or shots. If you use shots, you can learn to give them to yourself at home. For many people, pills work just as well as shots. They also cost less and are easier to take. If you have been getting shots, ask your doctor if you can switch to pills. Another form of treatment is a vitamin B12 nasal spray (such as Nascobal).
You can take steps at home to improve your health by eating a varied diet that includes meat, milk, cheese, and eggs, which are good sources of vitamin B12. Also, eat plenty of foods that contain folic acid, another type of B vitamin. These include leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits, and fortified breads and cereals.
Can vitamin B12 deficiency anemia be prevented?
Most people who eat animal products like milk, cheese, and eggs will not get this B12 deficiency anemia. People who follow a vegan diet can prevent it by taking a daily vitamin pill or by eating foods that have been fortified with B12.
Babies born to women who eat a vegan diet should be checked by a doctor to see whether they need extra vitamin B12.
If you have pernicious anemia or another reason you cannot absorb enough vitamin B12, your doctor will give you vitamin B12 shots or pills to prevent deficiency.

For instance, some are manufactured versions of patented inventions. Others were named for the person with whom they were associated, even if that engineer or craftsman laid no claim to designing that protractor.

Government forecasters say a big storm that they're calling "Frankenstorm" is likely to blast most of the U.S. East Coast the week of Oct. 29.
The storm is an unusual mix of a hurricane and a winter storm. The worst of it could be focused around New York City and New Jersey.
Forecasters on Thursday said there's a 90 percent chance that the East will get steady gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe snow starting Oct. 28 and stretching past Oct. 31.
The hurricane part of the storm is likely to come ashore somewhere in New Jersey on the morning of Oct. 30.
NOAA forecaster Jim Cisco said the storm is so massive that the effects will be felt along the entire coast from Florida to Maine and inland to Ohio.

Obama Looks To Merge Agencies, Streamline Government
(A new lede was put on this post at 11:30 a.m. ET.)
Saying "the government we have is not the government we need" and that it's still organized for the 20th Century, President Obama is asking Congress to give him the power to do some streamlining and merging of agencies that overlap.
"I'm calling on Congress to reinstate the authority that past presidents have had" to reorganize the government, the president just said at the White House. He pledged to only use the authority to make the government more efficient and leaner.
As we reported earlier, his first proposal is to merge agencies that deal with international trade, including some in the Commerce Department and the White House's Office of the Trade Representative.
Update at 11:58 a.m ET. Republican Reaction:
"Top Republicans said the plan comes after what they characterized as years of federal growth under Obama," CNN reports. " 'Americans want a government that's simpler, streamlined and secure,' said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). 'So after presiding over one of the largest expansions of government in history, and a year after raising the issue ... it's interesting to see the president finally acknowledge that Washington is out of control.' "
Update at 11:37 a.m. ET. "Six Is Not Better Than One":
According to the president, there are six departments and agencies focused on trade. "In this case, six is not better than one," he said. "We could consolidate them all into one department with one website, one phone number, one mission — helping American businesses succeed."
Our original post from 7:30 a.m. ET and an earlier update:
President Barack Obama plans to ask Congress "for more power to streamline the government by merging agencies," The Associated Press reports. It cites a "senior administration official" as its source.
Politico says it has confirmed the news that "in what could lead to a big reorganization of the federal government, President Obama will ask Congress for the power to merge departments and agencies to ... improve efficiency."
And The Hill is on the story as well, reporting that "President Obama, looking to make the federal government leaner, is looking to merge six trade and commerce agencies, a senior administration official confirmed."
According to the AP, the president's "first proposal would be to combine trade and commerce operations into one."
The White House says the president will be delivering "remarks on government reform" at 11:20 a.m. ET, from the East Room of the White House.
Update at 10:40 a.m. ET. Confirmed:
"The first reorganization the president will propose is to take some of the trade functions of the Commerce Department and his own U.S. Office of Trade Representative, as well as several other government agencies that deal with trade, and put them together," NPR's Scott Horsley tells our Newscast desk. "This is designed both to help businesses sort of navigate the federal bureaucracy and also to cut costs. The White House says this could save $3 billion over the next decade."
The president, Scott adds, will ask Congress for "fast-track authority to propose reorganizations." Lawmakers would have to cast up-or-down votes on such proposals within 90 days.
