Aeron Chair: The Ultimate in Ergonomic Styling?

The Aeron office chair which was designed by Herman Miller is an ergonomic office chair which has specifically been designed for providing the user with comfort in an office environment. Although these chairs can be quite expensive to purchase, they are certainly regarded highly by many for their comfort factors.

You will find that an Aeron office chair has not been made using cloth, but has rather been constructed using a semi-transparent but flexible mesh called pellicle. The chair also comes with a strong suspension system that helps to distribute the users weight evenly over both the seat and the back of the chair. Also the pellicle design of the chair form fits to the users body shape and this results in a decrease of pressure being placed on certain points of the body whilst sat at a desk.

An addition benefit of the use of pellicle mesh in this chair is that air is allow to pass through it and this results in making the user feeling cooling and more comfortable whilst sat at their desks for long periods of time.

Also unlike other office chairs the Aeron comes in three different sizes A (small), B (medium) and C (large) and each chair is provided with a full compliment of adjustments and its own suspension system. The chair has been ergonomically designed to custom fit any users lower back and this support leads to improving the users posture, which results in better comfort for their lower back. Each size also comes with a wide and high contoured back and this helps to take further weight off the users lower spine. Also many people find that the wide, soft and sloped armrests provided on this chair are easy on the arms providing less strain on the upper body and the waterfall front edge to the seat also takes pressure off from under the thighs and circulation to this and the lower part of the users body is unrestricted.

Because of the chairs extremely comfortable and ergonomically break through design in this competitive market the chair has gained a place of distinction in the New York Museum of Modern Arts permanent collection.

The chair has taken the business world by storm and has quickly risen to new heights because of the office design, ergonomics and comfort factors, all which have become important in any office environment today.

Give an Old Dog a Home

There are rescue kennels and pounds all over the world, full of dogs and cats needing a good home. Christmas is a popular time for giving a furry friend a home. The tragedy is that so few mature animals are given a second chance at life. Puppies and kittens are always in with a better chance, probably because of the 'cute' factor.

Having given a home to a handful of adult cats and dogs, I can honestly recommend adopting a grown up rather than a puppy or kitten. Our present dog is ten years old and we took him in when he was seven; tired, hungry, flea bitten and nervous. He has blossomed into a magnificent animal and draws comment wherever he goes. He is the joy of our lives; always ready to play, good with children, loyal and well behaved. What more could you ask for?

There are distinct advantages in not introducing a kitten or puppy into your home. Certainly if you are prepared to take in a new animal then you are ready to invest some time in training and care, but younger animals need house training, lead training, general obedience training, not to mention the costs of vaccination, spaying or neutering, and constant vigilance to make sure they are not chewing up Grandad's slippers or teething on the legs of the grand piano. Older pets have usually been house trained and vaccinated beforehand.

The only disadvantage in taking in an older pet is that their 'shelf life' is shorter. You will not have so many years with them as they have already lived half their lives and sometimes in less then healthy circumstances. However, the love and gratitude you will receive from these furry companions far outweighs any drawbacks.

Be a friend - give an old dog a second chance.
