Since I got behind on writing about the Skirted Roundtable, I am trying to catch up, first last week with Jamie Drake, The King of Color – our first "live" interview, and now, this week with Joe Ruggiero, The King of All Trades! If you are like me, you first became acquainted with the warm and very friendly Ruggiero through HGTV. He had numerous shows that ran on the channel, but the most popular was probably Homes Across America where he presented some of the most beautiful houses that ever were seen on that channel. Each week, with a sweater on his shoulder, he gave his viewers a history lesson and a design lesson, all tied into one.
Remember his trademark sweater? I must have liked it because for years I never left the house without one slung over my shoulders!
Joe, today, sans the sweater!
Talking with Joe about his start in the design business could take hours. He's done so many different things – worn so many different hats, it's remarkable. He was in advertising and then ended up at Ethan Allen for 15 years which he followed up with a stint as editor-in-chief of Home Magazine. He was also a national spokesman for Glidden and Kohler. After working on This Old House, he landed on HGTV where his national profile skyrocketed. Now he has his own company The Joe Ruggiero collection where he designs furniture, fabric, lighting, and even art work.
Joe's upholstery line is all covered in his own sunbrella fabrics. I really like that fabric on the ottoman – reminds me of the trendy feedbag look!
The Barrymore – I love this chair in Joe's line. This one fabric amazed me that it was sunbrella. It looks like a silk.
This is such an elegant chair – it looks much more than it costs.
Love these Carrington chairs and especially the ikat sunbrella fabric.
The Tribeca sofa is really nice. But, the price points are even better. Everything is so reasonable!!
This picture featuring the sofa, the Litchfield, reminds me of an interior Alessandra Branca once did. I really like the table – this is his design too, as well as the lamps.
I really love that striped sunbrella. His sunbrella damask fabric also covers the screen.
But without a doubt, the chair and ottoman was my personal favorite! Love love love it!!!!! Soo cute.
If you haven't already listened, please do. Joe was really inspiring, plus he was so very, very nice, very encouraging and extra warm!
After talking with him, it's understandable why he's been so successful. He just has that "it" factor.

Atmospheric conditions in the Mid-Atlantic region led to lightning and blowouts in the second week of CAA football.
Six games were affected by lightning – delayed starts, interruptions, or in the case of Old Dominion-Hampton, a mercifully shortened affair.
Delaware, Richmond, James Madison and ODU cruised. Villanova found its footing after halftime, while William and Mary's offensive mojo appears stranded at a rest stop on I-64.
The Tribe's 17-14 loss to Lafayette was delayed for an hour and 19 minutes. The opportunity to reboot didn't help the offense. W&M managed fewer yards against Lafayette (197) than against FBS Maryland (229) the week before.
"I thought the offense played terrible," Tribe coach Jimmye Laycock said in the postgame. "We couldn't get any rhythm. … We dropped passes, overthrown passes, missed blocks. You name it, we were doing it."
A few offensive lowlights: Of W&M's 14 possessions, 11 were five players or fewer, and six were three-and-out; the Tribe was 3-for-14 on third-down conversions; Lafayette controlled the ball for 20 of 30 minutes in the second half; starting QB Michael Graham and relief pitcher Raphael Ortiz were a combined 11-for-28 for 113 yards and a pick, with two TDs.
ODU has no quarterback issues. Taylor Heinicke was typically efficient, throwing for 213 yards and three scores in the Monarchs' 45-7 win at Hampton, stopped with nine minutes remaining after a lightning strike. Six different players scored TDs in ODU's spread-the-wealth attack, which is scoring at a clip of roughly one point every minute and six seconds.
The 'Narchs have scored 102 points in almost 63 minutes of possession time, approximately 1.6 points for every minute they have the ball. Figure on that pace to continue this week as they face Campbell before the usual sellout crowd at Ballard Stadium.
JMU dusted outmanned Alcorn State 42-3, as Dae'Quan Scott and Justin Thorpe combined for 208 yards rushing. Scott scored three touchdowns and averaged 13.4 yards per carry before tweaking an ankle.
The Dukes had 295 of their 416 yards in the first half, jumping out to a 28-0 halftime lead in a game delayed an hour by weather.
Kendall Gaskins scored four touchdowns as Richmond won its first game since last September, dominating Gardner-Webb 41-8 in a game delayed 83 minutes by weather.
John Laub passed for 267 yards and two TDs on just 14 completions, and the Spiders turned three G-W turnovers into 17 points.
Delaware dispatched Delaware State 38-14, dominating the score, if not the stats, around a one-hour weather delay.
Ricky Tunstall's 91-yard pick-six got the Blue Hens started in the first quarter. They scored on their next three possessions to take a 28-7 lead into halftime, effectively clinching it. Quarterback Trent Hurley threw for two TDs and dove in for another in a statistically "meh" day.
Delaware linebacker Paul Worrilow was stout, with 18 tackles and a pass break-up. The Hornets outgained the Hens 353-282 and had a 12-minute advantage in time of possession, which counted for little.
Villanova did almost all of its damage in the second half of a 28-13 win against Fordham. The Wildcats ran only 23 plays in the first half, yet trailed only 13-7 at the break. 'Nova compiled 272 yards, with three scores in the second half – one a 62-yard play on which receiver Clay Horne scooped up a John Robertson fumble after a 35-yard gain and ran the last 27 yards for a TD.
New Hampshire and Minnesota reversed recent trends in the Gophers' 44-7 win. UNH had made a habit of beating FBS teams – five since 2004 – while Minnesota had lost three of its last five games to FCS opponents.
The Wildcats lost quarterback Sean Goldrich early in the game, which nuked their offense. Meanwhile, Gophers' QB MarQueis Gray, spotty in last week's triple-OT win against UNLV, ran for 109 yards and completed 6 of 8 passes for 100 yards.
Maine couldn't catch a guy named Chase and had trouble with another guy named Spiffy. Boston College's Chase Rettig threw for three touchdowns, and Spiffy Evans scored twice, including an 82-yard punt return, as the Eagles dumped the Black Bears 34-3.
Maine averaged just 2.6 yards per play as BC pulled away, scoring 17 points in the last seven minutes of the second quarter. The hockey matchup between the two will be much more competitive.
Rhode Island may want to reconsider its decision to reconsider staying in the CAA. Monmouth, of the Northeast Conference, played as if it took personally the Rams' decision not to join the NEC, waxing the Rams 41-6. Not exactly confirmation of a bold decision.
The Fighting Currys didn't get Savannah Stated, but they were no match for Tennessee, which rolled 51-13 over Georgia State.
Vols' QB Tyler Bray was 18-for-20 for 310 yards and four touchdowns, exhibiting similar accuracy to an incident last summer in which he and a friend tossed beer bottles and golf balls from a Knoxville apartment balcony onto a woman's car in a parking lot, causing hundreds of dollars in damages.
No charges were filed by the woman, or by Georgia State.

Growing production volumes did not change the company's main focus – creating high quality products that will serve their best to the customers and their vehicles.

Driving on Texas A&M International University's campus on a misty
Fall morning, an old cowboy song might get stuck in one's head: Home,
home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play. . . While TAMIU
doesn't have any antelope, autumn often brings a group of deer browsing
under the oak trees leading towards the Sue and Radcliffe Killam Library.
In fact, the deer were memorialized in the TAMIU Alma Mater, written
by Dr. Ray Keck, TAMIU president: ". . . dove and deer lodge safely
by. . ." They were also the subject of this year's TAMIU Holiday
Card, which captured a group in the late afternoon sun. (photos)
Of course, deer are not the only wildlife on the 300-acre campus. In
addition, TAMIU is home to coyotes, javelinas, rabbits, raccoons, possums
and even the occasional bat...all rather surprising residents for a growing
University campus serving one of the State's fastest growing cities.
Dr. Thomas Vaughan, associate professor of biology, estimates there
are between 30 and 40 deer on the campus.
"What you see out in front of the Killam Library is a family group,
with three or four generations represented. All you see are the does and
their young. At night you might see a buck or two. I've seen as many as
three bucks in one night. They stay away from people," he explained.
He said despite appearances, the deer are not actually interested in
the grass.
"People see the deer and assume they're eating grass. They're not;
they are browsers, not grazers. There are a whole lot of other things
growing in the lawn. By irrigating, we're perpetually renewing the vegetation,
making the deers' life easier. They're eating what I'd call weeds: annuals
and perennials, flowering plants. You don't see that as you drive by,"
he said.
While the deer and even the javelinas appear docile, Dr. Vaughan cautioned
that these are wild animals, and should be treated with respect.
"People need to realize that even though they appear to be tame
they're not. Deer aren't going to bother people unless they get between
a doe and fawn. They'd rather go the other way. There's a danger in sneaking
up on a group of javelinas, because they will all run in different directions.
You might get run over by one, as their eyesight is poor. They too would
rather run, but again, getting between a female and a baby can be very
dangerous," Vaughan cautioned.
While the University has no plans to control the deer population, relying
on the natural course of things to do so, Richard Gentry, Physical Plant
director, explained their presence has definitely shaped the face of the
"The plants in the Lamar Bruni Vergara Memorial garden are 99 percent
plants that deer won't eat. We adjust the landscaping to the deer, try
to make it deer proof. If we didn't do that, then the deer would eat it
and there would be no landscaping. We don't really bother the deer,"
Gentry said.
So be sure to watch out for the animals while driving on campus and
keep a close eye on the deer before they bound off into the monte. They
are as much at home on the range at TAMIU as the buildings and the students
walking to classes.
For more information about the wildlife on campus, please contact Dr.
Thomas Vaughan at 326.2592, visit offices in Dr. F.M. Canseco Hall, room
315F or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
University office hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The "locavore" movement has been getting a lot more attention these days, so much so that an explanation is in order. So, simply put, a locavore is someone who only eats food that has been grown within 100 or so miles of the place where it is consumed.
John Walsh, the owner-chef of the Edgewood Café in Cranston, supports the idea.
"I try to buy as much locally produced food as I can," said Walsh. "Obviously, it's fresher coming right from the farm and obviously it tastes better. Produce from other places just can't be that fresh. It probably has been sitting around or been on the road and was probably harvested before it was ripe. When I find something fresh and in season, I'll do a special on the menu. If I can get good stuff, I can build around it while it's available."
Looking for the right stuff to cook hasn't hurt Walsh's reputation as a chef. He started as a dishwasher on Block Island at the age of 15 and worked his way through Johnson & Wales and a few restaurants before he opened the Bookstore Cafe on Wayland Square in 1993. The Edgewood Café was the focus of an episode of "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" on the Food Channel and has the signature stencil of its star, Guy Fieri, on the wall. But it's the word of mouth that has established Walsh's restaurant's reputation and it is all about fresh.
"I will pay more for something I can tell is better," said Walsh. "You can tell by touching it, feeling it, the color, the size, the shape, the smell … If you start with poor ingredients you end with a poor product."
On the very funny television show "Portlandia," two people intensively grill the waitress about where their chicken entrée grew up, what kind of family it came from and generally mocked the extreme to which locavores can go. But Walsh's success with locally grown produce proves that, while you can't get everything on the menu locally, you can get enough to encourage more people to want and eventually buy local.
The Rhode Island DEM has been encouraging people for years to support their local farmers and each year, more local farmers are approaching something resembling solvency. The DEM actively supports Farm Fresh Rhode Island, a non-profit founded in 2004 that is devoted to promoting the welfare of farmers and the people they feed. There have been many successes but even its most ardent advocates still get nervous about the future of local farms.
"Being a farmer is not cheap," said Christina Dedora, a Smithfield resident who runs a one-acre flower farm in Cranston and a more ambitious CSA with several friends in the same area. "Very few people could afford to buy land for a farm in Rhode Island but you can be a farmer if you really work at it."
The land Dedora and her friends work was willed to the state by a farmer named Arthur Ringrose. In his will, he donated it to the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management to be protected from real estate development. The DEM leases the land to the Providence-based Southside Community Land Trust, a 30-year-old group dedicated to teaching city folk how to raise their own food but has since evolved into an import part of a network of people and state agencies that offer opportunity and support for local food producers like Dedora.
"To buy the land we work would cost at least $600,000," said Dedora, who quit her 9 to 5 job last year to farm full-time. "There are very few people who can afford that, which is why CSAs are so important."
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. They provide consumers with a direct connection to a farm that produces their food. CSA members typically make an upfront financial contribution to the farm in return for weekly shares of the fresh vegetables the farm has to offer. They also come with the risks inherent in all farming. Drought or monsoon, natural and unnatural disasters, insect pests and just plain luck determine how a farmer will do in a given year and the CSA member shares in that. You also have to live with whatever crop succeeds on your farm. You will still have to go to a grocery store for some foods but the intangible benefit is the feeling that you have earned the food.
"Farm Fresh Rhode Island has been doing wonderful work since it started," said Dedora. "I don't know what I would do without them. I certainly couldn't afford to buy land for farming but they allow people like me to do farming. I'm not getting a lot of money. I still have to work during the winter. I worked at UPS during the holidays to make some extra money."
A USDA Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food grant to build provided Dedora with an unheated greenhouse that allowed her to grow some vegetables through the winter and, of course, the mild weather helped. But nothing can be done about the time it takes to make farming work for you. Dedora has her CSA members and sells her produce and flowers at farmers markets and local restaurants.
"We grow spinach, lettuce, Asian greens, tomatoes, kale, chard and a lot of the usual farm produce," said Dedora, things that sell even in the deepest recession. "People have to give some things up but they always have to have food."
As for the Edgewood Café, even someone as supportive as Walsh has to go somewhere else for produce.
"In the winter, it's tough for us to be local, said Walsh, "but I still do my best to buy local products year-round, like Gaspar's linguica and local sausage. If I can get it local, I'll take it. But there are times that we really can't afford the luxury. I can't serve strictly grass-fed local beef. I can't pay for it."
While it may not be practical for you to eat completely local, shopping at farmers markets or joining a CSA is a good start. CSA membership usually lasts from June through October. This provides the farmer with a guaranteed market for crops. Members then receive a weekly or bi-weekly share of the harvest throughout the season. Some CSA farms either allow or require their members to work on the farm. You can learn more about CSAs and stores and restaurants who buy local at www.farmfresh.org.
"I really wish I could buy all local, all year-round, but it really is worth the trouble to try," said Walsh.

Studying for the LSAT / Deciding Whether to Try Again« on: January 06, 2011, 07:43:44 AM »
I took the LSATs twice last year, bombing my first time (148) and getting a marginal score the second time (154). I didn't make any of my preferred schools (Drexel, Rutgers, or Seton Hall) and after being burnt out I gave up. I still feel a passion for going to law school, and I was wondering if posters here would think it would be a good idea to try again. I know the schools can see my previous scores, and being that my gpa isn't competitive (3.2 adjusted) what would be the chances on pulling my score up enough to be considered for my schools? I took a long Kaplan course the first time around which helped pull me from a 146 to 154 (158 being the highest score). If I take Powerscore or Testmaster, would I be able to see another improvement? Is it worth another grand and the time spent studying to try again, with my previous history? Thanks.

Rethinking Copyright: Letting Free Be Free
from the rather-than-locking-it-up dept
The author's "solution" to copyright issues may be better than what we have now, but it seems like there would likely be many other problems. His solution is basically to use an attribution-non-commercial Creative Commons license as the default, and then let others (in his estimation, big companies) ratchet up their copyright protections, if they so choose. I'm not convinced this really makes that much sense. This just gives the big corporations more leverage to scoop up the rights from others, taking many artists further away from their fans. On top of that, we've explained many times why the whole "non-commercial" thing isn't as simple as some would have you believe, and that there are good reasons not to put in place a "non-commercial" caveat.
Still, it's nice to see more and more people recognizing that our current copyright system is hopelessly broken. Whether they'll ever be in a position to fix things is a whole different story.

Jail will be tough enough for Conrad Black, but court filings suggest it will be even more difficult because he isn't an American citizen.
Non-citizens are not eligible to serve time in minimum-security prisons and they are barred from some prison programs including early release to halfway houses. Instead, once their term is up, foreigners are sent to immigration detention centres to await deportation. That can take weeks, if not months.
Those restrictions, and others, surfaced in recent court filings as Lord Black and three other former executives of Hollinger International Inc. prepare to be sentenced in Chicago next week. All four have been convicted of fraud for diverting millions of dollars from the Chicago-based company. Lord Black has also been convicted of obstruction of justice. They all plan to appeal.
Lawyers for defendants John Boultbee and Peter Atkinson, who are Canadians, argued that the men should receive a lower jail sentence because of the hardships foreigners face in the U.S. prison system.
Mr. Boultbee's lawyers said he will "suffer serious and onerous consequences" because of his nationality.
Legal experts say Lord Black, who is British, is in the same position (one defendant, Mark Kipnis, is American).
Once they are sentenced, assuming they get jail sentences, Lord Black and the others will be put into the hands of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, or BOP, which operates federal jails in the United States.
The BOP has four types of facilities: minimum security, low security, medium security and high security. Minimum security prisons, also called federal prison camps, have limited or no fencing and inmates live in dormitories.
Because of their citizenship, the best Lord Black and the other two can hope for is to be placed in a "low security" venue, court filings said.
According to the BOP, those prisons have "double-fenced perimeters, mostly dormitory or cubicle housing, and strong work and program components."
Once inside, the men will be restricted from some programs. For example, a presentencing report noted that Mr. Boultbee has an alcohol-abuse problem but his lawyers argued that because he is a foreigner, he will be ineligible for the BOP's residential drug-abuse program.
Inmates can earn up to a year off their sentence by successfully completing the nine-month program.
The men also won't be eligible for release to a halfway house as their sentences wind down, the filings added.
Typically, inmates serve 85 per cent of their sentence and are sent to halfway houses for the final six months of their term.
When their sentences end, Lord Black and the others will head to a U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement detention facility, where they will await deportation.
They could ask the BOP to be transferred to a jail in Canada or Britain, but Mr. Boultbee's lawyers pointed out that they can't apply for a transfer while their appeal is pending or until they have paid all fines and restitution. Prosecutors are seeking as much as $16-million (U.S.) in total restitution.
It's unlikely Lord Black and the others will head to jail immediately after sentencing on Monday. Most experts say they will be given a date to report to jail, likely in January.
However, it's unclear whether the judge will let them remain free on bail while they appeal, which could take a year.
"It's extremely unusual for them to be out on bail pending appeal," said Hugh Totten, a Chicago lawyer. "I've only seen it once in the last few years."
Rebekah Poston, a former prosecutor who is now a white-collar criminal defence attorney in Miami, disagreed. "A lot of times in white-collar cases, unless [the crime] is egregious, they are usually out on bail."

I caught up with Billy, their evangelist, after SXSW and said, "Pedalr good for beer and dogs!" Now what exactly do they do? He replied:
- Pedalr is different from Craig's list and ebay because it allows shops and manufacturers to test product in a passionate marketplace.
- It's at the intersection of ecommerce and social media
- Pedalr is a learning machine for sellers, allowing them to do rapid product development based on user feedback

Epiphany of the Lord
A cycle
Reading 1. Isaiah 60: 1-6
Reading II. Ephesians 3: 2-3a, 5-6
Gospel. Matthew 2: 1-12 (magi from the east).
Today we celebrate the great feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. Epiphany is a Greek word which means manifestation or appearance. Traditionally, the story of the "magi from the east" has been seen as a sign of the manifestation of the Lord to all nations.
Today's first reading from the Prophet Isaiah with its mention of caravans of camels and dromedaries bearing gold and frankincense has from the earliest days of the Church been associated with the story of the Three Kings or Wise Men. Today's gospel account from St. Matthew only tells us that "magi from the east" followed the star "to the place where the child was." It doesn't say that there were three of them, or that they were kings. But tradition and art have added the familiar features to the story.
We have three kings probably because of the three gifts--gold, frankincense, and myrrh--which are associated with royalty. In art one of the Kings is usually portrayed as an old man, another is middle aged, while the third is young and beardless. They symbolize all the ages of mankind. Tradition called them wise men because the word magi came to mean "magician", or one familiar with the secrets and mysteries of nature. It is common to think of them as astronomers or astrologers because of the famous star that they followed to Bethlehem.
Although legends have embellished the story of the Magi, there is an historical core to their story. There were, after all, "magi" in the East. The members of the ruling priestly class of the Persian empire to the east of Palestine had for centuries been called "magi." They would have been familiar with the Hebrew scriptures and prophecies because so many Jews had emigrated to Persia in the centuries before Christ. Their journey to Bethlehem would have been over a thousand miles but it would have followed established and frequently traveled trade routes.
The reaction of King Herod to their news certainly fits what history has told us about that cruel despot. In those days it was common for rulers to kill anyone who might be a potential threat to their crown. Herod murdered his favorite wife--he had ten--and five of his own sons when he suspected that they were plotting against him. The slaughter of the Innocents which St. Matthew describes a little later in this chapter is certainly in line with Herod's character.
What is the importance of the visit of the Magi? Why is the Feast of the Epiphany one of the greatest in the Church's calendar?
We know that after the Resurrection of our Lord the first converts to Christianity, even the Apostles themselves, had difficulty in understanding that the mission of our Lord was not just to the Jews. There was a great debate in the early Church where some argued that Gentiles had to convert to Judaism before they could be Christian. In St. Paul's epistles we see that this issue centered around the question of circumcision, that particular rite which signified one's membership in the nation of Israel.
In fact the very first Council of the Church was held at Jerusalem precisely to discuss this very issue. There St. Paul, inspired by his own vision of the Lord, argued that the message of Christ was for all mankind. As he says in today's reading from the Letter to the Ephesians,
it has now been revealed
to His holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit:
that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body,
and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus...
For Paul the Messiah promised to the Jews was to be in Isaiah's words a light to all nations. We will see next week that St. Peter, as observant a Jew as St. Paul, will have his own vision in which he sees that what God has created no man can call unclean. Perhaps it is only after the question had been decided that the early Christians began to reexamine the words and life of Jesus for new meaning.
He came to call sinners. He cured the Roman centurion's servant. The Sermon on the Mount did not mention race, creed, or color. He praised the Good Samaritan and insisted that the foreigner was more a neighbor to the beaten Jewish traveler than his countrymen who passed him by on the road to Jericho.
They even discovered an incident at the very beginning of our Lord's earthly life which indicated that He had come as a light to all the nations. The "Magi" had come from the East to bring Him gifts and do Him homage. On the other hand, the despised ruler of the Jews had only sought to put Him to death. Apparently, Herod and his advisers couldn't even see the star that led the "Magi" to the child.
The Christmas season comes to an end with Epiphany. The twelve days of Christmas are completed. Next week, we will begin to follow Jesus as He begins His public life. We will have a whole year to find Him on His way to Jerusalem. A few years ago I found a wonderful Christmas card which said simply,
Wise men still seek Him.

"Parking, Breezeway, Window, Wall," recited Robert Imber, resident Historian and Guide for Palm Springs Modern Tours. This is the classic and common characteristic of any modern home. It is my second day in the Springs and I'm on a double-decker bus tour of local mid-century architecture that has put modernism and Palm Springs on the map. It's about 80 degrees, the sky is clearly blue, the mountains are majestic and I…well, I am in a state of pure bliss.
Let me take you back a couple steps, before boarding the bus, our tour group was treated to a ridiculously delicious breakfast at
King's Highway located at the ultra trendy and off-beat
ACE Hotel. I have to start by saying that King's served three of the best cups of coffee that I have ever had the privilege of sipping. They are the only establishment in the Springs to serve Stumptown Coffee, a coffee that doesn't need any hype to let you know that it's the real deal. Much like the ACE, King's Highway is organic in its setting, unfinished floors, green leather barstools, classic saddle leather booths, and "kitchen-like" dish towels for napkins. No detail from the décor to the food is over or under thought. Highlights of the menu include homemade Granola with fresh fruit and Greek yogurt, homemade Lox and Bagel with Salmon cured in a Spicy Tequila, Chilaquiles with Chorizo which is made of scrambled eggs, chiles, ranchero, and home corn tortilla chips, Ricotta Hot Cakes with Maple Crunch Butter, crispy Black Pepper Thick-cut Bacon, and Sage Nutmeg Sausage. You can see that the trend is "homemade" and it's one of the elements that make the flavors of the cuisine stand out eludes
Craig Mattox, the resident chef at the restaurant. "We use fresh, organic, and local ingredients," says Mattox.
Bellies full, we then took a walk around the grounds of the
ACE Hotel and viewed some of the rooms that are available to anyone that isn't pretentious about the definition of luxury and enjoys the element of outdoor/indoor living. Rooms can start as low as $89 per night and increase from there. Read any previous article written on the hip venue and you are sure to be schooled in the history of the ACE chain and how its presence has added urban whimsy to the Springs. What you may not read about in those other articles is how being at this hotel made me feel as though I could saunter around the grounds in couture, posing in some awkward but fierce fashion pose at anyone of the distinctive landmarks or curl up next to one of the outdoor fire pits in sweats and Birkenstocks while listening to a vinyl on the record players that are supplied in the rooms. Either way, it all just works at ACE.
ACE Hotel tour done, it was now time to board the double-decker, which brings us back to where I started this article. Imber guided our group through neighborhoods that were once occupied by Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra; pointed out properties designed by some of the most prolific architects of the modernism era, and gave us the history on distinctive landmarks like the Butterfly Roof which
Frank Lloyd Wright helped to pioneer during the late 50s. A Butterfly Roof is a roof line in "W" pattern that help to add depth to a building's upper structure.
Poignant pauses along the way were dedicated to relaying tidbits of information on historical properties like "
The Ship of the Desert" now owned by Los Angeles-based clothing designer
Trina Turk, and "
The House of Tomorrow" designed by architect Bill Krisel and known as Elvis' honeymoon hideaway. Other properties visited were the
Canyon Country Club Estates that are owned by
Quincy Jones and those of modern architect
Donald Wexler. There is so much to learn and Imber's Palm Springs Modern Tour is a must for anyone looking to understand just how rich the area is.
Lunch on day two was light and refreshing at Jakes Ready to Eat. We sat at a long table on a quaint and majestic patio that ushered in cool, aromatic breezes. Offering many light fares for lunch, I opted for the Salad Caprese which incorporated fresh mozzarella, tomato & basil served on a bed of organic greens with balsamic vinaigrette and topped with balsamic drizzle. My travel mates lunched on options ranging from the Roasted Beet and Arugula Salad to the Turkey BLTA. Jakes also has a bakery that produces sweets baked right at the restaurant.
After lunch, it was time to explore and do a bit of shopping in the Downtown and Uptown Design District. I marveled at the variety in shops dedicated to fashion, art, and furnishings. One store that I stopped in because I loved the name was Just Fabulous. This small gift shop was filled with everything that a fabulous person could think of to own or give away as a gift. Fashion designer books, unique cards, lux candles…you name it! And, not to mention the fabulousness of the shops retail specialist. I met Steven and Luke and was immediately taken by their personalities. They were kind, humorous, and chic. I could have talked to them the entire day, but our group was on a schedule and I had to make my way back to the hotel so that I could glam up a bit for dinner at TRIO.
I walked through the lobby of the Hyatt and was captivated by the flames of the fire bouncing merrily in the lounge area of the bar. I had a feeling that this would be a good night. Hillary Angel, who has been working hard, steady, and joyously over the course of our two days, chauffeured our group to TRIO Restaurant and Bar. The vision of business entrepreneurs Tony Marchese and Chef Mark Van Laanen, Trio has been a hit with the Springs locals since the day it opened its doors. I fell in love with the artistic lighting fixtures adorned throughout the restaurant and once the appetizers sat upon our table, I fell in love with the food as well. For me, Trio is one of those restaurants that you have to experience in order to appreciate the menu. But I can tell you that I loved my signature cocktail, Rory's Tiki Monkey, my Filet Mignon was cooked to a perfect medium rare and melted in my mouth, and the desserts…well, let's just say this added another 2lbs to the 5 that I gained on day one. My absolute favorite dessert was the Trio Nut Torte in all its nutty, chocolaty, chewy, and buttery splendor!
Another honorable mention about Trio is that owners, Tony Marchese and Mark Van Laanen support local artists and two charities, the Arts Institute at Palm Springs High School and the Aids Assistance Program of Palm Springs. How it works is that guests can purchase any piece of art on the wall of the dining room and depending on the artist, 10% or 20% of the proceeds are donated to the two charities. Now isn't that fantastic?
That was it for day two. I was dropped off back at the Hyatt tired, but happy, full, and cultured!

Diego wanted to go on an adventure. His friend Dora warned him not to go through the multi-colored tunnel of doom as there were ferocious animals who lived there. Diego went anyway with his trusty axe and meat shield. Once he got there, he realized maybe the meat shield wasn't such a good idea. Built for the "Ill Advised Journey" category.
Ok, so I'm not really entering this into the contest, I built this for my son last night and thought maybe throwing a light-hearted, mock entry out there would give someone a chuckle or two. Enjoy!

Scuderi, Orpik hope to reunite on U.S. blue lineby Mike G. Morreale
The gritty defensive pair shared an NCAA championship at Boston College in 2001 and also manned the blue line for the Pittsburgh Penguins during their Stanley Cup run just three months ago.
Now, they're eyeing a roster spot on Team USA for the 2010 Winter Olympics in February. Is an Olympic gold medal next in their future?
"It's been great being his teammate for the last 10 or so years, and we've been through a lot of stuff together," Scuderi said. "We even played in the American League (for three seasons with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton). But this would be just one more thing that would be pretty cool to do. I respect him as a player and even more as a person and friend, so to be able to share some great career moments would be something special."
It could be their final shot at playing together. Scuderi signed a four-year deal with the Los Angeles Kings in July following four productive seasons with the Penguins.
"It's strange because you win a championship and, three weeks later, I'm somewhere else," Scuderi said.
The 30-year-old defenseman, who used his time at Team USA's camp to get acquainted with new Kings teammates Jack Johnson, Dustin Brown and Jonathan Quick, established career highs in assists (15), points (16) and plus/minus rating (plus-23) last season. He was also 12th in the League with 164 blocked shots.
"I think we began taking for granted how lucky we were playing for so long together, but we've obviously developed a good friendship and my girlfriend and his wife are pretty close," Orpik told NHL.com. "It was tough to see him go to L.A., but that's what makes these national camps so special -- you get to meet a lot of guys that have gone in other directions with the pro teams."
Scuderi is best remembered for the play he made in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final when he denied Detroit Red Wings forward Johan Franzen on a pair of shots late in the third period of an eventual 2-1 victory.
"To this day, I still don't know why he was in that position -- but thankfully he was," Orpik said. "But that's the type of player Rob is. He never really does one particular thing that stands out and unless you watch him for quite a while can you appreciate what he does. I think he likes it that way."
Born in Syosset, N.Y., Scuderi is the first Long Island native to have his name engraved on the Stanley Cup.
"I had my day with the Cup on July 17," Scuderi said. "My dad was a Syosset police officer, so I took the Cup to his department and then to my mother's high school where she's been teaching for over 10 years. I also brought it to the local rink where I played and then took it to the beach for the rest of the day. It was fun to share it with the community since not a lot of kids make it to the NHL from that area."
Orpik, born in San Francisco but now residing in Cohasset, Mass., has spent five full seasons with the Penguins. He was second among Pens defensemen in assists (17), third in plus/minus (plus-10) and was tied for third in points (19) in 79 regular-season games. His 309 hits last season ranked second in the NHL and first among defensemen.
"Brooks has a unique combination that everyone looks for," Scuderi said. "He's got size, but he's also a very fluid skater who can move. He's a scary guy to play against if you're trying to cut up the middle of the ice. If there's one thing that's going to stick out to me, it's his physical play and presence."
Orpik, 28, spent July 19 with the Cup, his girlfriend and plenty of locals on the beach in Cohasset. He also arranged a charity event at Boston College at which fans could have pictures taken with the Cup with all proceeds benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of America.
"We had the Cup until midnight, and it was nice to get it over the weekend," Orpik told NHL.com. "We did a lot with it considering we only had seven days' notice, but the day went by so quick and then it was Jordan Staal's turn to get it. I'm just glad we had great weather that day because it had been raining so much the previous few days in Boston."
When Scuderi was asked how he'd feel if he was cut from the final roster and Orpik was not, he never wavered in his response.
"People used to ask the same thing when we were in college and then drafted by Pittsburgh," Scuderi said. "I told them, 'Well, maybe we can just be partners.' If Brooks made the team and I didn't, I'd be happy for him because I think of him more as a friend than as a teammate."

MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The Birmingham-Southern volleyball team extended its winning streak to five on Saturday with a pair of wins at the Rhodes Fall Break Classic in Memphis, Tenn. The Panthers defeated Rhodes, 3-0, and Muhlenberg College, 3-1, and are now 16-4 on the year overall and 5-3 in the Southern Athletic Association (SAA).
The victory over SAA foe Rhodes earned the Panthers a season sweep over the Lynx after a 3-2 victory at Bill Battle Coliseum in Birmingham, Ala., on September 21.
BSC defeated Rhodes by the scores of 25-22, 25-20, 25-13 in the opening match of the day. Down 21-20 in the opening set, the Panthers used four straight points to take a 24-21 lead. The run was powered by two Rhodes errors and a kill by senior Alex Bothe. Following a Rhodes timeout, the Lynx scored one more point before a kill from junior Kathleen Pfitzer put the set away.
In the second set Rhodes raced out to a 14-7 lead, but BSC would rally to score six straight points to close to within one, 14-13. The Panthers closed the set on a 12-6 run and locked up the second set with a kill from Bothe, a service ace from sophomore Emily Dang, and a Rhodes attack error, one of 25 for Rhodes on the match.
The Panthers then used the strength of nine kills, compared to three for Rhodes, in the third set to earn a 25-13 set victory and seal the match. Bothe led the team with eight kills and three aces. Dang and sophomore Katie McCormack recorded 16 and 12 assists, respectively, and sophomore libero Lauren Bedford led with 10 digs.
Against Muhlenberg, the Panthers won 25-20, 19-25, 25-21, 25-19. BSC won the first set pulling away after a tie at 17 apiece. The 8-3 run to close the set was highlighted by kills from sophomore Yorisha Bryant and freshman Lynsie Byrd.
In the second set, Muhlenberg used a .241 hitting percentage and seven BSC errors to earn their only set victory of the match. The Panthers then stormed out to a 7-4 lead in the third only to see Muhlenberg come back to take the lead 8-7 after three consecutive BSC errors. The back and forth nature of the game continued when BSC scored the next 12 points of the set to take a commanding 19-11 lead. Muhlenberg then closed the match to within one at 22-21 before three straight errors against Muhlenberg gave the set to the Panthers.
After falling into a 12-8 hole to open the final set of the match, BSC rattled off six straight points to earn a set lead they would never relinquish. The match ended on a kill from Bryant off an assist from McCormack.
Juniors Katie O'Bar and Kelly Foster each had a team-high 10 kills for BSC. O'Bar hit for a match-high .769 and Byrd tallied a match-high 12 digs. Dang and McCormack once again paced the Panthers in assists with Dang earning 24 and McCormack 20.
"We were just flat out tough today," Head Coach Judy Green said. "We managed both matches very well and got good play from a lot of players. Our setters were able to distribute the ball pretty evenly today and balance helps us be successful. We also kept both teams from running off long strings of points by siding out well."
The weekend road trip continues tomorrow for the Panthers as they head to Conway, Ark., for a conference affair against Hendrix at 1 p.m.

Forty poll workers staffed nine precincts throughout the county, starting at 6:15 a.m. and ending after 8 p.m. Even after the polls closed at 8 p.m., workers stayed on duty until all voters' signatures were matched with the number of ballots, said Grand County Clerk Diana Carroll.
Two Grand County High School students were among those who volunteered for the task. James Martin was at Precinct 2 and Aaron Lewis was at Precinct 3.
"I think it's important to get involved," said Martin, who applied for the poll position through his government class.
In addition, 17-year-old Donna Snow of GCHS helped by volunteering in the county clerk's office prior to the election. She also organized a mock election for students and staff at the high school.
Poll workers must be 18 years old and be registered voters in the county. Each precinct has a poll manager who earns $180 for the day while other workers receive $100. The county also provides each volunteer with three meals.
Carroll added that training sessions are required before each election, too. Volunteers receive $25 for the time spent training.
This year, Carroll said she sought poll workers who were available for both the primary election and the general election. That added difficulty to the already tough job of finding willing participants, she said.
Carroll said many of those who worked the polls during last week's election were "seasoned poll workers." She added that it is a particularly long day for elderly volunteers, some of whom are age 70 or older.
A few years ago, Carroll had to publish advertisements seeking election help, and the effort brought in a few candidates, she said.
"People have jobs," she said, explaining why it is often difficult to find volunteers.
Poll workers make sure voters show proper identification and that they haven't already voted in the current election. They encode the ballots so the voting machines register each vote. They record voters' names and collect voting cards when each person is finished marking his or her ballot.
They also hand out "I voted today" stickers, which Carroll joked "is the most important part of all."
The law prevents political campaigning within 150 feet of a precinct. Carroll said there have been a few times when voters drove cars bearing candidate signs and parked near the polling place.
"That's OK if they're just stopping to vote, but if they are parking there for a long time we ask them to move on down the street," she said.
A 10-day period of early voting at Grand County Courthouse ended Friday, Nov. 2. Poll workers served from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on those days.
"It's going smoothly and it has been busy," Carroll said Nov. 2 just before early voting wrapped up.
She gave special thanks to the Nov. 6 poll workers for what is inevitably a 16-hour workday.
"We have a good staff and the poll workers enhance that," Carroll said. "It's a thankless job. We are appreciative of the job they do. We couldn't run elections without them."

Wabash Ready to Compete at T&F Nationalsby Brent Harris • May 23, 2013 Share:
One year ago the Wabash College track and field team celebrated a record-setting eight student-athletes heading to the NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Another eight Little Giants will represent the team at the 2013 nationals this week at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, but there will be no celebration this year.
"We really had a chance to get a few a more guys to this meet," Head Coach Clyde Morgan said. "Nick Boyce just missed earning a place in the 3,000-meter steeplechase field, and we had a couple of throwers and a second relay that came close, as well. That shows the growth of this program as a whole The expectations of everyone on our team have been raised.
"We have a very nice group going to nationals this year, but they're also very young. They're young but also very talented. Now we have to remember to not just be happy with getting into the meet. We still have more to do."
Make no mistake, the Little Giants are proud of the effort of their eight national qualifiers. Wabash will start on Thursday with Joel Whittington competing in the 400-meter hurdles at 5:25 p.m. (CDT). Matt Knox will participate in the pole vault in his first appearance at the NCAA championships. Whittington, Joey Conti, Chet Riddle, Sean Hildebrand, and John Haley will sort out which of the four will race in the 4x400-meter relay to close out Thursday's preliminary round. The Little Giants will have both Ronnie Posthauer and Nathan Mueller running in the 110-meter hurdles Friday evening before Haley races in the 400-meter dash.
Posthauer returns to the outdoor nationals for the second consecutive year, just a few months removed from a fifth-place finish at the indoor nationals in the 60-meter hurdles to earn All-America honors for the first time in his career. Whittington and Haley ran in the 1600-meter relay at last year's outdoor nationals, while Hildebrand served as an alternate for Wabash.
The combination of Posthauer, Mueller, and Whittington shows a continued growth of the hurdles program at Wabash under Morgan.
"These sophomore hurdlers have been amazing," Morgan said. "When I was recruiting them we talked about getting to the national meet and being all-americans. To see them reach that potential so early in their careers --- I have to be honest, it's a little scary. I've been blessed to have some great hurdlers, but I've never had a group like these guys."
Posthauer's path to the national meet took a detour two weeks ago. The sophomore utilized his skills as a German major during a trip to Germany that did not allow him to compete in any last-chance meets. Posthauer also needed to make arrangements to find a practice facility while studying overseas.
"The trip to Germany was awesome. I had never traveled outside of the United States before that trip. I met a lot of great people. I have to admit it was a little difficult to get motivated to do training some times, but I've put a lot into earning a trip to nationals. Coach Morgan helped me set up a practice routine and helped find a facility to be able to use during my time there. I feel ready to go this week."
Posthauer will race with Mueller next to him in their preliminary heat Friday. The indoor All-American is looking forward to gaining support from his teammate.
"I was really pumped when I learned Nathan made the meet," Posthauer said. "I'll have someone to keep me motivated and I think it will help my mindset going into the prelims to see a teammate right there with me."
Mueller earned his place in the field with a pair of solid times in the final week of the regular season. His time of 14.62 at North Central to gain a spot at nationals.
"I had some problems breaking through the 15-second barrier early in the season," Mueller said. "I finally really understood the concepts of snapping my leg and running hard between the hurdles. Watching Ronnie's progress and workouts this season has really helped me get better and has helped drop my times this season in dramatic fashion."
Whittington races as an individual at nationals for the first time in his career. He led off the Little Giants' relay team at last year's championship meet in California, so he knows what it will take to perform well this year.
"I'm ready to compete in the 400 hurdles," Whittington said. "I've spent a lot of time running with a really good group of 400-meter runners in practice this season. They've really helped prepare me for the season and for this meet."
Haley will also run as an individual for the first time in his career after two trips to nationals as part of a relay team.
"My previous two trips have helped me to understand how to prepare mentally and physically for nationals," Haley said. "I'll just keep doing the same things I've done for every meet. I ran really well at the conference meet, so I'll try to keep to that same sort of warmup."
Conti, Hildebrand, and Riddle helped produce a season-best time last week in the 1600-meter relay with a 3:14.36 to pick up one of the 16 spots in the national field. All three are ready to turn in another great effort in an attempt to grab one of the top-eight places that will receive All-America honors.
"We have some great team chemistry," Conti said. "Whittington and Haley have been here before and Sean went with the team last year, so we really know what to expect. This really won't be any different from the big meets we've attend previously. We just have to go out and take care of business."
"I learned last year that anything can happen at nationals," Hildebrand added. "You have to be ready to go out and perform your best. There are always surprises, but if you come ready to compete you can walk away earning that All-America status."
Riddle heads to nationals for the first time in his career in what will be his last college race.
"This really means the world to me," Riddle said. "I came to Wabash I never really saw myself in this position. I always thought of the people competing at nationals as the elite of Division III track and field. After I studied overseas in Germany my junior year, I rededicated my self by working hard over the summer, running cross country in the fall to continue to develop my abilities, and keep up the effort this spring to reach that mark. Competing this week is the summation of all of that."
Knox set a Wabash record for the pole vault in the final weekend of competition at North Central, clearing 4.83 meters (15 feet, 10 inches) to get the opportunity to compete in the finals for the both the first and last time.
"I'm really excited," Knox said. "I didn't want my year to end. I just kept thinking how much I would love to have my senior year continue as long as possible. Now I'll get the chance to compete in the final meet of the season. It will be great to have all of my teammates cheering for me Thursday and to know that I can do the same for them Friday and Saturday. I'm looking forward to all of us accomplish some great things."

Mortgage Performance Improved from a Year Ago, OCC Report Says
WASHINGTON — The overall quality of first-lien mortgages serviced by large national and federal savings banks improved from the same period a year ago but showed seasonal decline from the prior quarter, according to a report released today by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC).
The OCC Mortgage Metrics Report for the Second Quarter of 2012 showed the percentage of mortgages that were current and performing at the end of the quarter was 88.7 percent, compared with 88.9 percent the prior quarter and 88.1 percent a year earlier. The percentage of mortgages that were 30 to 59 days past due was 2.8 percent, up 12.1 percent from the prior quarter but down 7.5 percent from a year ago. Seriously delinquent mortgages—60 or more days past due or held by bankrupt borrowers whose payments are 30 or more days past due—fell to their lowest level in three years. The percentage of mortgages that were seriously delinquent was 4.4 percent, down 0.8 percent from the prior quarter and 9.2 percent from a year earlier.
Several factors contribute to the year-over-year improvement, including strengthening economic conditions, servicing transfers, and the ongoing effects of both home retention loan modification programs as well as home forfeiture actions.
Servicers continued to emphasize alternatives to foreclosure during the quarter. Servicers implemented 416,036 new home retention actions during the quarter, while starting 302,636 new foreclosures. The number of home retention actions implemented by servicers increased 17.9 percent from the prior quarter but decreased 8.8 percent from a year earlier.
