Good morning.
U.S. stock futures are pointing to a slightly lower open today. This comes after the S&P 500 rose 0.8% last week, snapping a three-week losing streak.

- Stovall warning
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist at S&P Capital IQ, is out this morning with a cautionary note.
He writes: "I believe that the speed with which the market slices through the first 5% decline threshold says a lot about how deep it will eventually go."

Getting back to what S&P's Stovall was saying.
He points out it took the market 23 calendar days to fall through the 5% decline threshold — and that "unnerves" him.
Why is that unnerving? Stovall writes:
Since 1946, there have been 20 times that the S&P 500 dropped below the 5% threshold in 20-29 days. Of these, half of them eventually declined by 10% or more, and 35% of the total didn't stop falling until they became brand new bear markets.
A bear market is generally defined as a drop of 20% or more.
That 23 calendar days number, Stovall says, "is right smack in the sweet spot of times that the S&P 500 has slipped into brand new bear markets."

Loews Corp. (the diversified holding company, not Lowe's the retailer) is faring worst among S&P 500 stocks, last down more than 5%.
The company said its fourth-quarter loss widened as substantial impairment charges offset growth in its CNA Financial Corp. insurance unit. Read more here.
Other big movers include Apple, up 1% as activist investor Carl Icahn withdraws his buyback proposal.
McDonald's is down 0.3% after its monthly same-store sales report, which showed growth overall but a decline in the U.S.
And Hasbro was last up 2% after its quarterly report before bell. Quarterly profit and revenue missed expectations, sending shares lower in premarket action, but now the stock is up.

Jonathan Krinsky, chief market technician at MKM Partners, also has a negative take this morning.
"As a result of the bounce late last week, we heard a lot of commentary along the lines of 'is the correction over?'" he writes. Perhaps he noticed MarketWatch's poll that asked that exact question. (The most popular answer continues to be no, btw).
Krinsky suggests there's a better question to ask at this point than the "Is the correction over?" one. He writes:
In our view, the time to ask that question was early in the week, when the SPX was testing key support with extreme oversold readings (page 2). We should now be asking the question, "is the oversold bounce over?"

What do the bulls say today?
Laszlo Birinyi is sounding comfortable about the chances for a rebound for the S&P 500.
He sees the benchmark index having enough momentum to likely hit 1,900 in the next quarter, reports MarketWatch's Bill Watts.
- 10:11 am
- Already had trade-able rally
- by Victor Reklaitis
- Add a Comment
Here's a little more from the note today by MKM's Krinsky, who is sounding bearish in the near term.
He says "any strength early this week above 1800 is a selling opportunity. If this is 2013 all over again, then we will be proven wrong with a close above 1815 for the SPX."
Traders already had their short-term bounceback, he suggests.
"For now … we are under the impression that we had the 'trade-able rally,' and expect this bounce to stall as the SPX re-tests its 50 DMA," Krinsky writes.
That's a reference to the 50-day moving average.

Hasbro is now faring best among S&P 500 stocks, last up more than 5%.
That's after the toymaker fell in premarket action on its quarterly earnings report, which featured profit and sales that missed views.

After wobbling near break even for 40 minutes or so, the S&P 500 has made a move lower.
The benchmark index was last down 2 points.
Meanwhile, the Dow is -34 points, also heading south in recent minutes and nearing its session low.
The Nasdaq is still holding in positive territory — up 5 points — but well off its session high.

- Yellen and markets
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
With no economic news today, investors are focusing on Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen's first semi-annual testimony to Congress on Tuesday.
Unlike her three predecessors, Yellen inherited the Fed without any ammunition: rates have been at near zero for more than five years, while the only weapon remaining is the 'forward guidance'.
While markets think she is going to be very much like Bernanke, they do not like uncertainty. Yellen brings quite a bit of that to the table.

Today's session has 'caution' written all over it. Utilities and heath care sectors are leading the gains on the S&P 500, while energy and industrials are the laggards.
Selling intensified slightly, with the Dow average down 55 points. The S&P 500 is down 5 points, while Nasdaq is dipping in and out of negative territory.
Sellers stepping up here, Nasdaq ticking into the red after trading positive since the open. $$

Channing Smith, managing director at Capital Advisors says that this week will be critical to validate the bearish view if the S&P 500 tests its 100-day moving average.
Before the two-day rally markets were oversold on the near-term basis, so 'buy the dip' mentality kicked in and we saw the markets pop. And today, with no significant economic news, all eyes are on Yellen's testimony. We do not imagine there will be any surprises in her testimony, however.
In the near-term, it looks like the S&P 500 is between 50-day and 100-day moving averages. If it falls below the 100-day moving average, then we expect more downside.
In the longer-term, we do not see much risk for a great selloff, as credit spreads remain healthy and the 10-year yields are stable. Though, we are watching the emerging markets carefully.

While the S&P 500 and Dow are having hard time to break into the positive territory, the Nasdaq Composite has been trading in green for most of the morning.
Nasdaq's heaviest weighted component Apple Inc is up 1.9%, thanks to Icahn's letter in which he retreated from his earlier push to have the company buy back $50 billion more of its shares.
About a dozen companies on the Nasdaq Composite are sitting on double-digit gains. The index is up 14 points.

Here is a chart to show what we really mean by "the S&P 500 testing its 100-day moving average" or 100 DMA.
Over the past year, the index bounced off its 100 DMA. But last week, it fell below the the line and then bounced off. At this point the magic number is 1774. Technical analysts believe that falling below that again may signal more downside.

- by Anora Mahmudova

What is on Yellen's plate tomorrow? There will be questions about the last disappointing jobs reports and whether that will affect the tapering. The answer is most likely to be "we will see the next report before making a decision".
There will be questions about the 'forward guidance' policy. Or rather its effectiveness.
She will certainly be asked about the emerging markets. Also about the stock market at home.
At least, there is one more jobs report before the next policy-making meeting on March 18-19.

Bitcoin prices dropped Monday morning after the exchange Mt. Gox said it had discovered a problem that affects all transactions sent to a third party. The news came after Mt. Gox had halted bitcoin withdrawals on Friday.
But bitcoin core developers (remember, bitcoin is code) moved quickly to negate Mt. Gox's statement.
"First and foremost, bitcoin is not broken. There is no fundamental flaw in bitcoin," Jeff Garzik, a bitcoin core developer, told MarketWatch in an email. Read more.
Here's a chart that shows the response in bitcoin prices on the exchange Bitstamp. While bitcoin prices have regained most of their intraday losses from the Mt. Gox statement Monday, they are still down from levels seen late last week.

Urban Outfitters /quotes/zigman/55244/delayed /quotes/nls/urbn URBN is slated to announce quarterly sales data after the closing bell.
"Although January only represents 22%of URBN's 4Q sales, we believe the challenging weather likely continued to drive pressures at Urban Outfitters," analyst Simeon Siegel at Nomura Securities said in a note.
Siegel was decidedly less upbeat on Urban Outfitters's fourth-quarter performance, projecting comparable sales of flat to 1% while analysts surveyed by FactSet expect the fashion retailer to report same-store sales of 2.3%.
Urban Outfitters shares are up 1% in recent activity.

"Almost half of the companies yet to report belong to Consumer Discretionary, Staples and Utilities. All these 3 sectors have reported well below market surprise, with an aggregate earnings beat of just 1.3%," said Jonathan Golub, chief U.S. market strategist at RBC.
So far, 343 companies–accounting for 79.2% of the S&P 500′s market cap–have reported with all sectors beating earnings-per-share expectations, led by Materials and Financials.

- Thayer: Too early to say correction is over
- by Anora Mahmudova
- Add a Comment
Last week's impressive two-day rally sparked comments from strategists with some calling the earlier pullback over and some cautioning that it may not be the case.
Gary Thayer, chief macro strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors is somewhere in between, saying at this point it is too early to say the decline is equities is over.
We believe the increase in the U.S. equity market late last week may have only been an oversold bounce after the sharp selloff in late January and early February. Therefore, it is probably too early to conclude that the correction in the U.S. stock market is over.
Sentiment could turn negative again in the weeks ahead if there is additional negative news.
By negative news, he means an unexpected spike in oil prices or further turmoil in emerging markets. In short, we are not out of woods yet.

Bad press caused by CEO gaffes hurts stock prices pretty badly.
Especially, when it involves babies.
AOL Inc /quotes/zigman/577531/delayed /quotes/nls/aol AOL CEO Tim Armstrong spent the weekend apologizing for his comments about 'distressed babies' who he claimed were to blame for rising health-care costs. And to offset those high costs, the company changed its 401(k) plan so employees would get a lump sum at year end instead of regular contributions in each paycheck. The switch was a bad deal for employees.
The company since reversed that decision amid outcry but the damage control is an onerous process. More on the story, read our Tell post.
AOL shares are down 3.9%.

HOBART, Australia, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Lauren Davis eliminated second-seeded Sorana Cirstea in a second-round match Tuesday at the Moorilla Hobart International tennis tournament in Australia.

PUBLIC STATEMENT ON RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS FOR GORILLA TRACKING PERMITS Follow this link for full statement details
PUBLIC STATEMENT ON RESERVATIONS AND PAYMENTS FOR GORILLA TRACKING PERMITS Follow this link for full statement details
The Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) has partnered with local lodges, operators (Friends of Queen Elizabeth National Park) and the USAID-STAR program to promote an innovative new traveler experience, The Hippo Census, which took place in February and March. The idea originated with QENP park wardens who suggested a program where visitors can be involved in real conservation efforts by helping count hippo populations alongside the rangers and research/monitoring wardens. 28 seats were available and all the fees collected directly supported the hippo census activity.
In other places this activity is called "citizen science", but in QENP they refer to it as "experiential tourism". These activities give visitors a behind the scenes look at how research is helping conserve biodiversity and monitor ecosystem health in QENP.
Video is courtesy of Jennier Krauser, a destination development and community tourism specialist working with the USAID-STAR program in Uganda.
The UWA asked USAID-STAR to help their team develop a product around the Hippo Census and a marketing strategy that UWA could use as a guide for this and future Hippo Census', as well as other experiential tourism activities like lion and mongoose tracking. UWA and USAID-STAR also developed a short film that generated further interest about the activity.
Many thanks go to partners GeoLodges Uganda, Mweya Safari Lodge and The Far Horizons for supporting and promoting the census:
As part of UWA rescue program, USAID STAR through USFS International Program is donating mountain rescue equipment to UWA. UWA will offer this equipment to Rwenzori Mountaineering Services (RMS), a nongovernmental organization entrusted with a concession to provide trekking tourism services/support on the central circuit trail within the Rwenzori Mountains.
This equipment will be used to help support and integrate the Rwenzori Former Hunters in mountain rescue activities hence supporting community participation in wildlife conservation initiatives.

Yale Slams Season-High 71 Kills in Win Over Tigers
NEW HAVEN -- Kelly Johnson and Kendall Polan provided triple-doubles to lead the Bulldogs to a 3-1 win over Princeton and their seventh straight victory.
With the win, the Bulldogs (10-5, 6-0 Ivy) took sole possession of first place in the Ivy League, while Princeton suffered its first loss and dropped to 5-1 in the conference and 8-8 overall.
The scores of the match of 22-25, 25-22, 25-19 and 25-22.
"We overcame some early adversity tonight and settled down to play a solid match," Yale head coach Erin Appleman said.
Johnson, the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week, provided a season-high 19 kills, and came through late in the deciding fourth set. With the set tied at 18, Johnson teamed up with Haley Wessels for block assists, then on the next point slammed a diagonal kill to give Yale a two-point edge.
Princeton scored the next three points. After a Yale timeout, Wessels and Erica Reetz went back-to-back with kills to put Yale back in front at 22-21.
Jesse Ebner teamed up with Johnson for block assists on the next point. After an attack error, Reetz delivered another kill to put Yale at match point.
Christine Wu took the ball as the crowd rose to its feet in anticipation. A Princeton attack error ended the match and the John J. Lee Amphitheater erupted.
Johnson finished with 11 digs, 18 assists and hit .421.
"Kelly was outstanding tonight," Appleman said.
Polan had a season-best 43 assists to go along with 10 digs and 11 kills. It was her sixth triple-double of the year.
After splitting the first two sets, the Bulldogs took control of the third set. Yale opened with a 15-5 run capped by an Ebner ace.
Ebner had three aces tonight and leads the team with 18 on the season.
Princeton came back and reduced the deficit to 18-13. Johnson stopped the run with a kill and Yale's lead never dropped below five with Rogers ending the set.
The Bulldogs blasted a season-high 71 kills and held Princeton to 49.
Rogers reached double figures in kills with 13 for the eighth time this season. Rogers also shined on defense with 20 digs -- one of five Bulldogs to reach at least 11.
Maddie Rudnick led Yale with 21 digs -- including several off of her sister Lydia, who finished with a match-high 20 kills for Princeton.
Reetz and Ebner both had eight kills, while McHaney Carter totaled seven while hitting .400.
The Bulldogs host Penn tomorrow at 5 p.m. in New Haven.

Collections In the Kitchen: 5 Real Kitchen Collections
We're always curious about the decorative things people choose to display in their kitchens. What do they like to have about them as they cook? Some kitchens, too, have picture rails or shelves just begging for a collection to be displayed. Here are five favorite kitchen collections from real homes.
• 1 Jack's Early Pop Life – Jack's current kitchen is micro-tiny, but previously he had this glorious pop-art kitchen, with the loveliest powder blue on the walls and an eye-popping collection of Campbell's. What do you think of this one?
• 2 Shannon and Emmett's From Factory to Family – The white just pops against the brick of the kitchen, and it's a great way to use the empty space on top of the cabinets.
• 3 Ashley Ann's $500 Light and Lovely Remodel – We totally love the globes on top of Ashley Ann's cabinets! What a creative and unusual idea, and so nice-looking with her wall paint too.
• 4 Nina's Open Sky Blue and White – Dishes of course are a great thing to display in the kitchen, and we love this colorful vintage display that spills over into the dining room.
• 5 Mandy and Ryan's Permanent Collection – Given that Mandy and Ryan are serious art collectors, we think that these beautiful clay jars in their kitchen are probably pretty old. We love the rustic look these give to the kitchen.
What sort of collection do you have on display in your kitchen? Do you display anything special? Is there art in your kitchen? We don't have the wall space for a lot of art, but we are considering something up top, near the ceiling.

Portoferraio Shines Bright For Guido Miani's 'Out Of Reach' After Day One At 2013 Audi Sailing Series
8 June 2013
Portoferraio, Italy - Guido Miani's Out Of Reach dominated day one of racing at the 2013 Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series in Portoferraio with a solid 1-3 performance taking the overall lead. IM20CA President Manfredi Vianini Tolomei on Maolca holds firm in second followed by Mirko de Falco's Peccere in third.

German Court Now Rules That RapidShare Is Not Liable For Infringement By Users
from the reason-amongst-the-insanity? dept
However, it seems that in at least one of these cases, the appeals court has come to its sense and realized that RapidShare is not liable for the content that its users store via the service. The court noted that RapidShare was acting well within the law, and that the measures demanded by various copyright holders (and ordered by some previous court rulings) made little sense:
Filtering based on keywords is not effective since that would result in many false positives, the Court noted. Likewise, manually reviewing uploaded content is not deemed feasible because RapidShare does not have the manpower to do this.It's not clear whether or not this will actually have much impact on some of those other lawsuits, but it's still nice to see at least one sensible ruling.
Another suggestion, banning file formats such as RARs, was also tossed out since this file type says little about whether a file is copyrighted or not. RAR is simply a format used to compress data, regardless of the copyrighted status of the files, the court explained.

There may be a few winners under the Christmas tree this year and it looks as if Apple
A couple of Wall Street analysts recently released research notes saying that Apple is poised to move higher, particularly as the holiday shopping season continues in full force. The iPhone 5, iPad and iPad mini are seeing healthy demand and supply is improving, particularly for the iPhone 5, noted Sterne Agee's Shaw Wu. He rated Apple a buy with an $840 price target.
"From our latest supplier checks, we continue to pick up improving yields and availability on iPhone 5 and thus improving profitability," Wu penned in a research report. "In addition, we have noticed much better availability in AAPL's retail stores, online store, as well as third-party partners," he said later. He now believes Apple could sell more than the 45 million to 46 million iPhones this quarter, particularly as Apple enters China. Wu raised his iPhone unit forecast from 46.5 million this quarter to 47.3 million.
A look at Apple's Web site confirms this, as ship times have improved from two to three weeks in mid-November to just two to four business days for all models and all carriers. On the other hand, demand for the iPad mini is still outstripping supply. A look at Apple's site shows that ship times for the smaller iPad are at two weeks.
Apple recently announced that the iPhone 5 would be coming to China Dec. 14 and the new iPad and iPad mini would be coming Dec. 7.
UBS analyst Steven Milunovich said he believes Apple is poised to move higher as earnings growth moves the stock higher, helped by new products and increased gross margins.
"Although we don't expect much multiple expansion, new products still have the potential to drive earnings growth and create value by earning cost of capital," Milunovich wrote in a research note. He rated Apple buy with a $780 price target.
As Apple builds out its ecosystem of products (iPod, iPhone, iPad, Mac), users tend to remain with one brand, making it "sticky." Hedge fund manager David Einhorn noted this fact earlier this year at an investment conference, thanks in large part to iOS and iCloud, Apple's mobile operating system and cloud computing offering. Einhorn recently pared his position in Apple, but still holds a good chunk of the Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple.
The recent increase in optimism is evident elsewhere on Wall Street, as some believe Apple's recent sell-off was vastly overdone. Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White called the sell-off in Apple shares "insanely insane" given the valuation at which Apple shares were trading.
Children aged six to 12 tend to dominate parents spending for Christmas, and Apple is all over their lists to Santa. About 48% of this age group wants an iPad, 36% want an iPad mini, surprisingly the same percentage as the iPod Touch. One in three children this age want an iPhone for Christmas.
If Meeker's presentation is correct and Wall Street analysts' aren't being overly optimistic, Apple could have a lot higher to go as we move into 2013.

Using table linens like tablecloths, placemats, and napkins; protects your furniture, makes the family dinner table feel more formal, therefore encouraging better manners, and is better for than environment than using paper napkins.
But how do you store and care for your table linen collection?
• Don't be intimidated by table linens. If you have never collected linens, start with one set of at least four place settings of coordinating mats, napkins, and napkin rings that can be easily maintained by laundering or wiping clean. Table linens are not necessarily expensive. They are widely available at many price points.
• Hang unused tablecloths on a hanger to keep them from getting wrinkled.
• If your collection of napkins is small, keep them rolled up and upright in a basket on the counter near the table. They will be decorative as well as close at hand.

I recently contacted them about my company. I understand I am in an early stage and I wanted to get feedback from a respectable firm. I was able to get a response back from them very quickly. They accessed my executive summary and provided very valuable feedback. I am iterating my product now and I have some work to do. It was a very positive experience.PRIVATE: Members Only

Two new design books were recently released – both have strong Texas ties. Enjoy!
Slipped chair designed by Lauren Ross – a favorite of design bloggers.
Last year I wrote two stories about Lauren Ross' houses – one in Houston and her newer one in Austin HERE and HERE. The response was overwhelmingly positive – so many readers were interested in seeing more of Lauren's house after it was first featured in the magazine Country Living. Her style is all about white linen and seagrass and slipcovers and it seems that half of the design blogdom was obsessed with it: pictures of her slipcovers seen in Country Living have shown up time and time again on the internet. It was a thrill for me to get to know sweet Lauren and her houses – especially since the one in Houston is a long time favorite of mine. Earlier this year Lauren told me that her house was being photographed for Carolyn Westbrook's latest book. I wasn't surprised – Lauren and Carolyn have similar styles, both loving white linen. Carolyn, a designer, sells her own line of linens, bedding, slipcovers and duvets, along with antiques at Round Top and other fairs throughout the year. Just released, The French Inspired Home, is Carolyn's second book and Lauren's house is featured in it, along with Carolyn's and several other Texas houses.
Lauren's Great Room in Austin has two separate seating areas – both in white linen slipcovers. Lauren's look and Carolyn's look are similar - linen is the predominant fabric in both their houses.
Lauren's family room has Austin limestone walls. They add so much personality to the house – the rough texture plays off all the soft linen.
This house located in Round Top is also featured in The French Inspired Home. It looked familiar to me – and then I remembered it was first seen in the blog, Beadboard Upcountry HERE.
Its kitchen is really fabulous. There is also a La Cornue range on the opposite wall!! I wonder if the house ever sold?
In case you aren't from Texas and didn't make it to this year's Round Top, you can order linens from Carolyn's line on her website HERE. I am partial to the chocolate line. So pretty!
The book is now available through Amazon. If you like white linen, slipcovers and seagrass, I think you'll like this one too!
The second Texas design book comes from the prolific Betty Lou Phillips. Just released this week, French Impressions is her 10th design book – amazing! I remember her first one, published in 1998, like it was yesterday – there was a lot of buzz about it, everyone was talking about this designer from Dallas named Betty Lou Phillips. Since then, I've eagerly bought each subsequent book. Most of Betty Lou's books are filled with interiors done by her along with a few select designers, including her two designing daughters-in-law. French Impressions is different though and it took me a while to realize that when reading it. It's about one house only – hers. Over the years, Betty Lou has featured her own houses – from her French house in Highland Park to her getaway mansion in Colorado. In French Impressions she writes about her newest house just recently completed in Dallas. It doesn't really explain this in the book anywhere, that I could find – but it's not hard to figure out that all the pictures are from just one house (although it did take me a while to catch on!)
The beautiful Betty Lou Phillips has sold over 1/2 million books, including a series of children's books.
What is the house like? How to describe it? Imagine being an empty nester and building a house that could double for a hotel in Paris. This hotel theme runs throughout the enormous house which seems designed to luxuriously house numerous guests, including its owners. Every detail seems geared to guests. For example, consider the elevator. Usually when there is a residential elevator – it is hidden away. Not so here – a large sign in French announcing "Ascenseur" hangs above its doors – just as it probably once hung above an elevator in an old Parisian building. And to be sure, there is a 19th century Baccarat crystal chandelier in the elevator. Everything is excessive, from the marble and gilt powder room with two sinks to the kitchen, the offices, the granddaughters bedroom. Betty Lou has 4 granddaughters and they have their own suite – a sort of Parisian hotel dorm room. Each girl has her own Patina four poster bed designated by her monogram on the sheets. Then, there is a large attached bathroom filled with everything a preteen might need, along with a computer room, I-Pod and Wi-Fi ready. I think the granddaughters room is my favorite of them all – it's utterly charming – a private hotel suite for the four girls whenever they visit Granny. The lone grandson has his own suite, jungle themed. Then, there's Betty Lou's husband who has a private country club, complete with a club room worthy of any CEO, and a dressing room with a putting green.
Rather than hidden away, the elevator is marked for guests to find.
No expense has been spared here. There is more white marble in this house than in Italy - the kitchen and bathrooms are floor to ceiling marble. Next to the large kitchen with its gleaming La Cornue range, is the marbled "catering" kitchen – larger than most main kitchens. The catering kitchen has to make-do with a just a 36" Viking range. The enormous dining room is set up like a hotel – instead of just one large dining table, there are three Fortuny skirted round tables, each with its own crystal chandelier. Most interesting is how much furniture Betty Lou used from the old house. Her living room and dining room are furnished almost identically to her former abode. Betty Lou truly loves French furniture, especially armoires – almost every room has one fabulously tall antique armoire in it. Yet, despite the numerous armoires, much of the furniture appears new rather than antique. The family room is notable for its walk-in bar set up with white clothed tables and banquette seating, just like you would find in a French hotel. In fact the paneled bar was copied from one found in Paris' Le Meurice hotel. The library is drool worthy – floor to ceiling bookcases cover each wall and hiding behind a movable shelf is the filing room – just perfect to stash away those messy papers and folders. The laundry room - OY. It's decorated in pink patent leather wallpaper with shelves holding monogrammed baskets for each bedroom and bathroom. There are only two chandeliers in the laundry room. There is even a mailroom – and it IS a room –wallpapered in a Eifel Tower theme.
The attention to the smallest detail is remarkable. The pantry looks like a stage set – all the perfectly organized cubbies are labeled, in French AND English: Pates/Pasta, or my favorite – Sauce Tomate/Ketchup. Each bathroom has its own set of specially monogrammed towels. Napkins are monogrammed "Cafe Le Bastille." There are even bags holding newspapers that hang on guest bedroom doors proclaiming "Good Morning" – just like any five star hotel would provide. Betty Lou's dressing room is on the cover of the book – antique mirrored closet doors ring the two story room which is large enough for a sitting area in the middle of it. Outside there are more guest accommodations, a lilac colored working office fit for Marie Antoinette, and a backyard resort area with pool and cabana.
Guests receive the morning papers just like at a hotel. I wonder who actually gets up in the morning to deliver these papers?
Do I like the house? I have to say I miss the Bennison fabrics and decor from her warm and inviting Colorado house. This house is very dressy, not anything like my preferred, laid back, comfy style. But the house is definitely worth seeing and reading about, if only to get a glimpse at how one can happily live in a Five-Star Parisian hotel smack in the middle of Dallas, Texas.
Pictured on the cover is Betty Lou's two story closet. Yes – this is her closet.
The family room with its paneled walls has a large 16th century fireplace. The hotel style walk-in bar is on the left.
The kitchen has soapstone counters and white marble walls that extend up to the ceiling. I love the soapstone backsplash behind the sink. Be sure to notice the ceiling. Next to the kitchen is the large catering kitchen.
A view of the La Cornue range – this French range can cost more than the average house!! What a dream to own one. Would you rather own an English AGA or the French La Cornue? Hmmm. That's a tough one to answer.
The breakfast room, with its Michael Taylor furniture, has steel windows and walnut paneling. Betty Lou has written a chapter on French table manners, including how to properly eat lettuce.
Looking into the paneled dining room with the skirted tables.
The view towards the stairhall. Notice how each table has its own chandelier. These chairs are the same ones used in her former house – just the cushions have changed.
The adorable Jackson in his Ralph Lauren sweater has his own Patina bed with monogrammed linens. Patina is a favorite line of Betty Lou. Apparently Jackson has beds like this all over the house, but prefers to sleep with his mommmy and daddy – naturally!
The master bedroom with its Patina bed is part of a large suite – consisting of huge his and hers bathrooms and closets.
One of the guest rooms with dark chocolate walls.
Almost every room has a large antique armoire – as seen in the guest room.
The guest room's bath – the bath mats are actually tiles. Notice the monogrammed towels match the bath mats. As always, there is a crystal chandelier or two in this room.
The granddaughters dorm room – 4 Patina beds with individual monogrammed sheets. A computer room for the girls is part of the suite.
The grandson has a safari themed room.
In the pink vinyl wallpapered laundry, each room has its own basket. Bed sheets are pressed here.
The back yard is a resort – with a fully stocked cabana and pool. All the furniture has bright colored cushions. Menu items in both French and English are monogrammed on the chair back cushions.
A look back: this is the house Betty Lou featured in her first book – Provencal Interiors. She sold it last year when she moved into her new house, the subject of her latest book.
The old house: The marble floored entry hall – the piano and the two small French chairs are also in the new house's entry hall – but with fresh upholstery.
The old house's living room. The new living room uses all of the same furniture.
In the old house – the living room and dining room were mirror images. Here the paneling is painted, while in the new house, the paneling is stained dark. Do you prefer the light paneling or the dark?
In the old house, a vignette in the living room.
This 1760 French commode is one of Betty Lou's prized antiques. Seen in the living room in both her old house and the new one.
The old house's dining room is set up exactly like the new house – just with different fabrics.
A vignette in her former dining room with the blue and white striped fabric and a beloved pet.
The family room – designed for the 90s. Betty Lou really liked to use skirted tables. It seems every room in the old house had one.
The old house's kitchen is not nearly as luxurious as the new house, but it is still amazing.
The breakfast room in the old house – notice the gorgeous buffet a deux.
An earlier picture from the 90s shows a pine cabinet instead of the buffet a deux, plus the rug was plain here. I like the newer version with the French buffet more.
The old house's library. Notice the carpet that popular in the late 90s. This desk in now in the brown guest room.
The master bedroom in the former house has the same Patina furniture as the new one – only the fabrics and rug have been changed.
The grandson's safari bedroom in the former house.
An earlier version of the granddaughters' bedroom.

Wellesley College Sports Information
WELLESLEY, Mass. - MIT fell to NEWMAC foe Wellesley College, 61-36, on Wednesday night. The loss lowered the Engineers' record to 3-13 on the year and 0-6 in conference play while the Blue improved to 4-12 and 1-6.
Wellesley opened the game with five unanswered points before MIT responded with five of its own. The teams traded baskets until the 14:43 mark, when the Engineers went on an 8-2 run which resulted in a 17-12 lead. Three-pointers from Michal Ruchelsman and Kimberly Soo Hoo helped Tech establish its largest advantage of the game. Wellesley battled back to even the contest at 17 on a lay-up from Courtney Richter with 7:18 remaining. The Blue closed out the first half with a 13-6 run behind solid shooting from Courtney Pelley, who shot 5-of-9 in the frame and connected on all three of her attempts from behind the arc. Wellesley entered the intermission with a 30-23 advantage, its largest margin of the night.
The Blue's defense held its ground in the second stanza as it kept MIT scoreless for over eight minutes while going on a 14-0 run. Jessica Duff tallied six points for Wellesley during the pivotal stretch. The Engineers ended the scoring drought on a free throw by Sharon Prange at 11:34. Both squads traded baskets as the Blue cruised to the win.

Here's what I've finished up this week:
Here's what I've got cooking and simmering:
My next pattern, #103 - Just need to finish binding this one, take some awesome photos and edit the pattern. I'm hoping to release this pattern next week, so stay tuned!
Camera strap for my new camera - I am loving using my new camera, but it sure could use a fun cover for my camera strap, so I pulled some fabrics to make a simple patchwork strap cover.
String Me Along block for Bree - Just got my fabric in the mail yesterday. Bree has asked for Polaroid-esque shots a la Corey's awesome Ringo Pie block from last year, and I'm hoping I can do it justice.
4x5 Blocks - All cut out, ready to sew! I'm stitching up weathervane blocks for my bee friends, using the same block I used for my Fat Quarterly challenge mini. If anyone is interested in a tute for that block, I could definitely put one together, it's a great block! Speaking of 4x5, quarter 1 sign-ups are open now!
What are you working on this week? Link it up over at Freshly Pieced and check out what everyone else is up to as well!

Fifty shades of parliament
How does a "badass motherf..ker" decide on an outfit?
Are cobalt and coral now the colours one wears to serve up a supersize smackdown?
In recent times, the leaders of our land girt by sea would been forgiven for wearing hazmat suits up on Capital Hill, given the fireworks that have erupted and venom that's flown around the House of Representatives, but instead they continue to show their true colours (think Cyndi Lauper not outlaw motor cycle gang).
Rather than black and other colours traditionally associated with power, shades of turquoise, dusty rose and even some grey (insert winky face) dominated the front bench last week as Julia Gillard presented one of her most rousing performances as PM.
This look into Question Time style isn't a "who wore it best" fashion attack, it's about an alternative therapy called "colour psychology" and investigating what sartorial choices say about the state of our politicians rather than their policies.
Image consultants adhere to the psychological responses stimulated by colour. Many say being strategic when selecting a shirt/tie/dress in the morning can strongly influence perception and there are big advantages to gain if certain rules of colour are applied correctly.
Dr Zena O'Connor, who is a colour theory lecturer at the University of New South Wales and College of Fine Arts, says the psychology behind colour choices can be subtle nuances that make a big impact.
"Colour associations, which are learned rather than hard-wired, can be used quite effectively in certain contexts," she said.
"Notions about colour "psychology" have often been branded trivial but some statesmen have used colour and colour branding to great effect such as Napoleon."
Closer to home and Gillard's royal blue blazer, which she donned on the day of reckoning, as well as Tony Abbott's tie and beige bouclé as seen on Julie Bishop, all caught the attention of colour, style and image experts.
Dr O'Connor suggested Gillard's blue hue helped her align with profitable companies as well as US President Barack Obama.
"Blue is a colour that often features in the corporate identities and logos of some of the largest and most profitable companies of the 21st century like Facebook and Google. Cobalt blue is also a colour worn by Barack Obama on his neckties. It was a clever choice," she added.
How does a "badass motherf..ker" decide on an outfit?
"Gillard often wears red jackets, however this colour would have come across as too aggressive given the nature of the debate in parliament. She often tends to wear colours that are strong like red, cobalt and emerald green and she rarely wears pastel colours. My thoughts are that these stronger colours help to convey the strength of her character and her resolve as a politician."
Founding director of image management consultancy EGAMI, Natasha Di Ciano, says there was a lot of strategy at play when Gillard clashed red and blue last week.
"Red portrays courage and strength and is considered a more masculine colour while blue projects professionalism and trust. In parliament, her colour choices are designed to position her with influence," Ms Di Ciano said.
She added Ms Gillard's front bench buddies including Jenny Macklin who rocked a similar coral-cobalt combo, Wayne Swan's stripy blue tie and Tanya Plibersek who worked in some blue to offset her "neutral" grey pant suit presented more of a personable look.
"They presented an image that is less traditional and more personalised with regards to style. The use of warm based colours also suggests approachability."
Abbott's ties spoke louder than he did according to Di Ciano.
"It was the cool temperature of his tie that projected the strongest message. The icy-blue drew on the more insensitive side associated with blue and created perceptions such as logic, coldness and lack of emotion."
Strictly sartorially speaking stylist and e-retailer, Zara Bryson, has noticed a "race for the White House" type approach is taking place by the ladies of the lower House.
While Gillard, with her ill-fitting blazers projects an Ann Romney style look (although I'm yet to see her shop at Costco), Deputy Leader of the Opposition Julie Bishop is the fashion front runner.
"She appears to be channeling a 'First Lady' look a la Michelle Obama, as opposed to fostering a fierce leader vibe like Julia," Ms Bryson said.
"Whether it echoes her, or lack of, leadership ambitions or not is yet to be seen, but she is definitely dressing like a deputy in a supporting role. She goes for flattering tones of cream and beige in bouclé Chanel-esque skirt suits with a nipped in waist. This is a classic, chic look for an upper class woman and she wears it well."
Unlike the image specialists, Bryson argues Abbott's baby blue tie was a "nod to his feminine side" and when it comes to dressing he's snappier than a crocodile.
"I don't think I've ever seen Tony have a fashion fail, aside from the Speedos, but he does have a very easy figure to dress and likes his suits well tailored."
Imagine if AC Nielson had a fashion poll? Call it trash, call it trite but at least there would be more employment for creative types.

This will be interesting to see... I've had an EZBoard for a while, and assumed that everyone liked the UBB format better. I'd switch to a UBB like this, but like DJ said, you only sign up once and there's more to do, like user-defined polls, improved sig and profile features, etc. To me, the pros outweigh the cons, so I decided not to switch.
I'd say make the switch and see what happens. You can always have two boards, and keep the one that you like better.

Suit against Virginia dog company in Wortham's court
Judge Bob Wortham has some reading to do over the Thanksgiving weekend.
A veteran legal mind in Jefferson County who has spent time as both an U.S. attorney and as a judge in the county's 58th District Civil Court, Wortham has to consider whether or not to dismiss a lawsuit brought forth by Ryan and Tara McLeod, who are attempting to sever ties with Dan Warren and his Guardian Angel Service Dog company after what's been a hellish year for the family.
The McLeods bought a diabetic alert dog for their son, Racer, 4, who has juvenile diabetes.
"The court is taking its time to consider both sides' arguments, and everything that has been submitted to the court will be read," Wortham said Monday, Nov. 19, after an initial hearing on a motion from Warren to either dismiss the lawsuit or have it moved to Virginia, where he and his company are located.
In the lawsuit brought forward by the McLeods, they are asking that they be released from their contract with Warren's company, which has since changed names, and sever all ties. As part of the contract, the McLeods are entitled to up to two years of continued training for their dog; however, the family has been steadfast that it will use its own funds to train the dog so they can extricate themselves from the mess that has ensued with Warren.
The issue at hand is whether or not Warren is owed money the McLeods raised back in February to purchase a $19,000 diabetic alert dog from Warren's company. The two sides, who began their relationship roughly one year ago, each see it differently. The McLeods contend, and their evidence suggests, that the only thing agreed upon between the two sides was the purchase price of the dog, and there was never a mention of how the fundraising should be conducted or where any excess funds should be directed.
In fact, an e-mail dated Feb. 15 of this year presented by the McLeods' attorney, John Werner, showed Warren explaining to the McLeods that the family had an outstanding balance of only $20 after a $7,120 payment. Because of the success of the family's fundraising campaign, Warren asked if the family would "mind giving me a day or so to do something nice" for them and then he would post it on his Facebook page.
Locally, Warren is being represented by Brian Little. Both attorneys were present at the 30-minute hearing Monday afternoon and shared their sides of the ongoing dispute.
According to Werner and the McLeods, Warren's sunny and congratulatory disposition changed in May after he learned through a Facebook posting that the McLeods raised more than $60,000 at the February fundraiser to go toward the purchase of the dog and, they say, Racer's medical bills. When the McLeods signed a contract with Warren – after the fundraising had been completed – there was still no mention of fundraising dollars going back to Warren's company.
Wortham repeatedly asked Little if there was anything in the contract that outlined fundraising and Little responded, "Not to my knowledge."
In June, one month after the contract was signed by the McLeods, they received a letter from Warren's attorney in Virginia, John Anderson, demanding that the extra money they raised be sent to Warren and his company since, they claim, the McLeods used Warren's tax ID number for donation purposes. The McLeods have been adamant they never used Warren's tax ID.
While Warren isn't returning messages left for him by The Examiner, according to one of his former clients who felt the wrath of Warren first hand, he might have more than just an inquisitive reporter and a civil courtroom in Beaumont to answer to.
Melina Colon, a 34-year-old single mother of an 11-year-old boy with diabetes, was one of dozens of Warren supporters who spoke out against the McLeods in online forums last July when The Examiner initially brought the story to light.
"He called me and asked me to speak up for him and support him against their claims," said Colon via telephone from her home in Florida. Colon, like many others – most who didn't have a dog at that time – were quick to attack the McLeods and staunchly defended Warren, who's real name is Charles Daniel Warren Jr., on his company's Facebook page.
But a few months later when Warren discovered that Colon was going to raise possibly $100,000 for her son and another family's dog, he wanted to come down to Florida and help with the fundraising himself. And Colon said his demeanor toward her changed when she asked about the fundraising and wanted a contract.
Suddenly, within a week's time, Warren went from friendly owner who wanted to help Colon get a dog, when she told him she didn't need him to help with the fundraiser, to actually reaching out to other families and badmouthing her, which ultimately cost her the fundraiser.
"I thought back to the McLeods and what they were going through," said Colon.
She now runs a website, stopdadscammers.com, and said she has made it her goal to get Dan Warren out of business and to prevent him from harming more families like hers and the McLeods and the dozens of others she's already heard from.
Colon said, "He needs to go down."
A ruling on the Warren's motion in the McLeods' lawsuit is expected in the next two weeks.

Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) disclosed on Tuesday an in-line 8% drop in fourth-quarter profits as the world's largest beverage maker was hurt by restructuring costs and weaker-than-expected revenue.
Continue Reading Below
Shares of the Atlanta-based blue-chip company slumped about 2% on the sales miss.
Coke said it earned $1.71 billion, or 38 cents a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $1.87 billion, or 41 cents a share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, it earned 46 cents a share, up from 45 cents the year before. Analysts had been calling for EPS of 46 cents.
Revenue slid 3.6% to $11.04 billion, trailing the Street's view of $11.31 billion. Global volumes inched 1% higher.
Unit case volumes rose 6% in Eurasia and Africa and 4% in the Pacific. However, volumes in Europe were up just 1%, while North American volumes dipped 1% and Latin American volumes were flat.
Coke CEO Muhtar Kent acknowledged facing "ongoing global macroeconomic challenges in many markets" during 2013 that led to "moderated global volume growth." Still, the Coke chief said the company "delivered sound financial results in line with our long-term profit targets."
Despite the hurdles, Coke said it is expanding previously-announced productivity and reinvestment initiatives to generate an incremental $1 billion in productivity by 2016. The company is eyeing expanded savings through global supply chain optimization and IT system standardization.
Looking ahead, Coke projected net share repurchases of $2.5 billion to $3 billion in 2014.
Shares of Coke dropped 2.13% to $38.10 ahead of Tuesday's opening bell, positioning them to extend their 2014 slump of about 6%.
Earlier this month, Coke revealed taking a 10% stake in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NASDAQ:GMCR) worth $1.25 billion and announced plans to market a new at home beverage system created by the coffee company.

2010 WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship Recap
Winner: Ian Poulter
Score: 4 and 2 over Paul Casey in 36-hole final
Quote: "It's been a long time coming."
Fact: Moved up to No. 5 in Official World Golf Rankings.
Thought: Is a major in Poulter's future?
YOU KNEW HE HAD game. Ian Poulter sold me at the 2008 Ryder Cup when as a controversial captain's pick he pretty much outplayed everyone on either team. On Sunday "Poults" broke out in an even bigger way with his first win on American soil (actually, on American sand, the Sonoran Desert), a 4 and 2 victory over fellow Englishman Paul Casey in the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
The color pink hasn't had a better day on the golf course in quite some time. Which got me thinking: If Paula Creamer is the Pink Panther, can we call Ian the Pink Poulter? Probably not, I suppose. Too limiting. It's just one fave in his rainbow-hued wardrobe.
I didn't see much of the 36-hole match, but I did watch most of the final holes. Casey cut Poulter's four-hole lead in half early on the final nine. Just when I thought it might get interesting, the Pink Poulter converted some exquisite par saves to stall Casey's comeback. I guess that's the way he played all week. About his short game, Poulter said, "The last 12 months, it's been up there with the best of them."
Poulter has won nine times on the European Tour, including the Barclays Singapore Open last November. But Sunday's victory was by far the biggest moment of his career, and vaulted him to number five in the world rankings.
It was the second year in a row that Casey lost in the finals. Last year he ran into a match-play buzzsaw named Geoff Ogilvy. "He [Poulter] did a fantastic job of making putts and keeping the ball in play," Casey said, "and he kept the pressure on." Finishing second again must sting, but reaching the finals two years in a row is an impressive accomplishment. Don't be surprised if Casey someday wins one of these. In the meantime, a runner-up check for $850,000 is a nice way to pad the bankroll, no?
Tour Notes
• LPGA Tour: Ai Miyazato won the season opener in Thailand.
• PGA Tour: Cameron Beckman took the Mayakoba Golf Classic.
• Champions Tour: Bernhard Langer won the Allianz Championship.
• ARMCHAIR GOLF plans to attend the Puerto Rico Open in March.

Poulter Wins All-English Match Play Final
2 comments:
- Tom Collins said...
I saw one of the most interesting things while I followed Poulter on Sunday...he whipped out his yardage book on every green to help him read the putts. Even he said in the interview room later that he didn't want to give up the secret to what he was doing, even though I tried to ask nicely. But for him, when yardage books use a grid over the green to map out a putting surface, watch out for Ian Poulter.
- Patricia Hannigan said...
Agreed, I was pretty surprised to read my old Ian Poulter posts from 2007 and 2008 and see all the negative comments people left... as in: he's just a wannabe, he doesn't take the game seriously, what a bufoon, etc. I do believe most minds have been changed by now. :o)

Kitchen Tour: Harry and Taylor of Brooklyn Kitchen
Brooklyn Kitchen is one of our all time favorite stores. From affordable vintage cast iron, to copper made in Brooklyn, not only do they have everything you'd need to stock your kitchen, but it's that quirky mix of new and vintage items that keeps us coming back. We knew that co-owners Harry Rosenblum and Taylor Erkkinen had to have a pretty cool kitchen of their own, and we were right. This is a kitchen with some personality!
Harry and Taylor's Kitchen Renovation:
When we bought the house, the kitchen had an ugly but perfectly functional kitchen, with your standard issue Home Depot maple faced cabinets and your dark green laminate counter. we planned on replacing the counter, and relocating the upper cabinets, as they were positioned a bizarre 12″ up from the counter. When we removed the uppers, the screws just spunem-dashthere was no adequate support. Harry politely asked me if he could do an investigative probe to determine the stud locations, and found two recesses on either side of the central chimney, 18″ deep. In one (where the sink is now), we found the old sink mounting bracket and a towel rack, and in the other (where the fridge is), we found a piece of etched glass and a ravioli board. I bet that the carpenter came by to hang some drywall (circa 1968, according to the date stamp on what we ripped out) and just filled it in, and then mom came in and said "where's my ravioli board?"
Backsplash :
Before opening the store, I worked as a construction project manager at Stuy Town, during the time period that they were renovating the elevators. As soon as I saw the original enameled steel panels being ripped out and left in dumpsters, I started grabbing whatever I could. I got a pile of blue enameled panels and a pile of red. I tried to get a few friends who knew salvage people to figure out how to get them into good hands, but nothing ever worked out. We have blue at home, and saved the red in the backyard for a few years, and now we have the red in the store.
What's your cooking style?
We've recently been learning a lot of cooking traditions that have skipped a generation or two: canning and preserving, meat curing, etc. I think our cooking style is pretty country comfy, overall pretty hearty but fresh. We refer to recipes, rather than follow them to the letter. We'll pull out six cookbooks and the internet before starting.
What inspires your kitchen?
Things we want to try, or things we think look good, or are well built.
What's Your Favorite Kitchen Tool or Element?
The Hoosier cabinet. We named it Julia, for pretty obvious reasons. It has an amazing functioning flour hopper, and holds a lot of supplies. It was originally supposed to be for baking, but we are not that organized. It came from a friend of ours in Maine, part of our network of vintage scavengers. A web, really. We still need to fix the tambour door that rolls down over the middle part, but that's pretty low on the priority list. The legs/feet have a great feature, a cupped ring around the leg. It's an ant moat, basically, that you fill with water so the ants can't climb up the leg. Brilliant.
Best Cooking Advice You Ever Received?
I like Sarah-Kate's clean as you go advice. And someone along the way advised me to write out recipes from books on your own, which for larger undertakings makes sense, and allows for synthesis among differing recipes and strategic task planning. Oh, and annotate your cookbooks! If a recipe needs to be changed to meet your tastes, record that so you remember what you've learned for next time. That's my own advice, but I like giving it out.
Biggest Challenge in Your Kitchen?
It's a big space, but not very well organized. We have the sink, stove and fridge all in one line, then the door to the yard and the window, and on the other side is a lot of storage and more work space. The island helps for function, but it is tough sometime to move around and probably takes more steps than industrial designers would appreciate.
Biggest Indulgence?
A few years ago, we splurged on a 9 Qt Le Creuset French Oven. It's way bigger than we need for most cooking (we have a 3.5 Qt that gets used way more often), and we probably only use it four times a year, but there's nothing else like it.
What are you cooking this week?
Kimchi, chickens from our friends at Awesome Farm, lots of fresh salad and chard from the CSA, roasted shiitakes from the farm that sells at McCarren, pickled chard ribs… I may freeze some more potstickers for after the baby is born (any minute now).
What cookbook has inspired you the most?
Julia Child's The Way to Cook. I love the pictures of her hands!
What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
We make a monster chili feast for New Year's Day every year. It's a nice release after the Holiday rush, and since we're getting old and live in New York, it takes off that stupid artificial "New Year's Eve" pressure – we're cooking for the real party tomorrow. Drawing from those great meal memories, I would have to say that the most memorable was the two day mole chili. I think Jan 1 fell on a Monday or something and I had time off over the weekend, so I started it a few days beforehand. It's a good thing I did because I could not have planned out how long it would take. It's one of those recipes that's like soak the chiles, then dry and remove seeds, then fry. That one sentence took 8 hours.

For the Orthodox churches, such authority derives from the first Seven Councils of the Church - the last of which occurred in 787 AD - whose rulings cannot be altered or added to.
I see at least three major errors in this sentence. Perhaps someone should e-mail this reporter with a brief enough explanation of the actual nature of authority, dogma, Ecumenical Councils and canon law in the Orthodox tradition that she can use it in a graph or two in future articles. Any takers? (Cough...ozgeorge?)
Another interesting thing, Orthodox Archbishop Demitrios calls it Istanbul and the Catholic Bishop Brian Farrell calls it Constantinople.
...Another interesting thing, Orthodox Archbishop Demitrios calls it Istanbul and the Catholic Bishop Brian Farrell calls it Constantinople.
Istanbul is also Greek. It means "in the city." When the Turks invated the City the Greeks were shouting "The Turks are in the City, the Turks are in the City..." (οι ΤοÃ…ÃÂκοι 'ναι ÃĀην ΠÌλη) and the Turks picked it up and called the city Instabul.
While this story has been going around for a while, many consider it folk etymology. For what it's worth, as the Turks had already held already the land surrounding Constantinople for quite some time, they would have had contact with its citizens and already had a name for it in Turkish. The day of invasion was not the first time they ever heard of the place.

Cue They Might Be Giants... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsQrKZcYtqg Ebor
While all this may be true, the offical name of the city was the Greek "Constantinople" until the 18th century (or 19th, I don't recall), when it was changed to Constantin**** (whatever the Turkish equivelant of "Ople" is), and it was only changed to "Istambul" when Ataturk finished his atrocities, er, reforms.
Luberltri, are you Orthodox?
Well, good to have ya on OC.net.I have a question for the canon lawyers and Greek theologians among us...Why wasn't the OCA mentioned in the remembrances for the autocephalous jurisdictions in the translation offered by Fr. Dr. Chryssavagis (sp?) on EWTN or on the http://www.patriarchate.org/ website? Does the EP not recognize our autocepahly or are we considered under the MP?Ugh, please don't make this a complicated affair - I'd like it to be a clean and simple response. But knowing OC.net, that's probably not going to happen...
Thanks.From what I understand (someone else correct me if I'm wrong), Constantinople does not recognize the autocephaly of the OCA, though Moscow does.
At last, Communion. I've always been fascinated by the Orthodox way of distributing the Eucharist, passing the spoon holding both species into the mouth of the communicant.

Senior center Adnan Hodzic, the 2009-2010 A-Sun Player of the Year, has been selected to repeat that performance this season. Hodzic and senior guard Josh Slater were unanimous selections to the preseason all-conference team. They were two of three players to earn the unanimous approval of the coaches.
In the coaches poll the Bisons received six first place votes followed by ETSU with four and Belmont with one. In the media poll the Bisons received 23 first place votes followed by ETSU with nine and Belmont with one.
"I don't worry a whole lot about it," Bisons' coach Scott Sanderson said. "Whether it is the coaches or the media it is just opinions.
"Championships are won on the floor where they should be. Being picked No. 1 in a preseason poll means we have a lot of good players coming back, which we do."
The Bisons have won A-Sun regular season titles in 2006 and 2010. Last season the Bisons were 17-13 overall, 14-6 in the conference.
However, they have never won the A-Sun Tournament, something Sanderson has discussed once with his team.
"We addressed it the first day we were together this fall," Sanderson said. "We know that stuff is there, but there is no reason to keep bringing it up.
"This team knows the expectations that have been placed on it. We are not going to complete everything we want to do this season unless we win the tournament and go to the NCAA Tournament. There is no reason to put any extra pressure on our players by mentioning it again."
Sanderson credits the hard work of Hodzic and Slater and his coaching staff for the way the two players have improved each season.
"Our coaches do a great job of player development," Sanderson said. "Adnan is one of the better players for sure and he has worked hard in the offseason to be even better.
"Adnan and Josh have both been major parts of our program. They both know how to handle success. Some players don't understand how to do that. They have earned individual accolades, but they both know they can't play as well as they do without their teammates."
The Bisons first official practice is Friday night at 6:30 at the University of the South-Sewanee.

D-Line plastic is DGA's most economical plastic blend and features superior tack and grip. The plastic is similar to RDGA plastic, but the discs are not all 150 grams in weight. Discs in D-Line plastic are considered to be more beginner friendly because of the increased grip, but can be used by players of all skill levels.
Discs in D-Line plastic will also beat in quicker than other DGA plastic blends, and because of this they are sometimes referred to as control style discs. This plastic is perfect for transitioning from the beginning stages of disc golf into a more advanced game. D-Line discs are available in DGA's standard weight ranges and are great compliments to the ProLine and SP Line models.
