Did anyone click on the Pricing Inquiry link or is everyone just complaining without looking?

all of the pricing information is contained in the link for all pieces, the inquiry is to assess shipping & handling costs as it varies based on location.

jeez...

in my research all of these were more expensive than a traditional concrete or asphalt drive way, and most require some periodic maintenance to make sure they continue to drain properly

anyone have any info on purchasing a rachel denny animal head?

i personally will never buy the real plastic HM version. the plastic seems much cheaper than the fiberglass. i always see people claiming the fiberglass is toxic. i know its not without its faults, but if proper safety precautions are followed, its production is not a health issue. can anyone back up the toxic claim with more information? i have several vintage shell chairs, knockoffs, that i purchased for $1 a piece. they are in immaculate shape. i will be purchasing some new ones from modernica, once they resume production, to match & supplement my existing chairs.

i personally am not a fan of straws for anything but milkshakes & smoothies. i will say that iced tea, whether sweet or not, should only be sipped straight from the glass. is anyone else with me on this?

i am running plex on a hackintosh. it was cheaper to build a solution with lots of storage, than daisy chain hard drives to a mini. it runs seamlessly though on both. i set it up on a mini for my brother. i also programmed my logitech remote to run all the functions. i have used boxxee, but it was geared too much for social networking. i don't facebook or twitter, so i didn't really need those features. the plex interface is very slick, and best of all, its free.

i would highly recommend the steelcase think chair. i only paid a little more than 300 for mine new, about 2 years ago. i still have a life chair by knoll, which i bartered for. but i would much rather have my steelcase chair. its also cradle to cradle certified. if you know any designers, ask them to get it for you. we get good discounts on designer furniture.

i am a registered architect. while i appreciate the goals behind LEED, i think that you should reconsider that requirement for your position. i really think you are limiting your selection with this requirement. LEED accreditation is not required to work on a LEED project, so why should it be required to write about it? there has recently been a large push for LEED accreditation in our office, but having the designation means nothing if you don't "walk the walk". i work with a large number of people, who don't carry the LEED accreditation, but they bring more experience & knowledge of green design, and green living on a daily basis, to the table than most of the LEED accredited professionals in our office. i could give numerous examples, but this post would be pages. also, the recent restructuring of the whole LEED accreditation process has also been a big turn off, to a large number of people. maybe i am missing something, and if anyone has some insight, please fill me in.

pc at work. mac laptop & hackintosh (mac OSX loaded on non-mac hardware) media server at home runnin Plex. each has there own function, and do it well. although i would trade my pc at work for a mac if i could. i just like macs better. i would highly recommend checking out os86project.org if you are interested in building your own mac from scratch. a fun project, good learning experience, and a whole lot cheaper. if you like to tinker with computers, its a fun project.

this chair is incredible. even if i had the money, i still would not buy it. there is so many better things i could do with 4k. if it only takes 5 craftsman 12 hours to produce this chair, thats approx $334 an hour. thats pretty ridiculous. i know these crafts men are talented, but again, thats ridiculous. just my opinion though.
