He's gonna sit right down ...

Article Abstract:

The Herman Miller Aeron Chair is expensive, at 800 pounds sterling, but is well worth considering for those who spend many hours each day sitting at a desk. Its high-tech design is simple and elegant, with a centre panel made out of Pellicle, a woven combination of Hytrel elastomeric polyester, Lycra and fibres. The chair has an adjustable lumbar pad, and also features a forward tilt mechanism and inward pivoting armrests. It is extremely comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.

From wunderkind to guardian angel

Article Abstract:

Pianist Ivo Pogorelich first became famous in the mid-1970s, when he was promoted as a classical Mick Jagger. He was good looking and dressed fashionably, but was disliked by some observers because of his arrogant attitude. However, he has now matured a lot, and gives the impression of being highly intelligent and well-informed. He still has no self-doubts, having confidence in his creative abilities.
