Associate professor Le Xuan Tham, Deputy Director of Lam Dong Province's Department of Science & Technology, said the fungus was found on a tree trunk near Palace Hotel in Da Lat city.
Tham said the fungus has a maximum diameter of 50 cm, often grows on high-protein trees and is easy to grow.

TAMPA — It has been a brutal winter for 212 NFL players who are part of the most severe free agent crop damage in history.
That's how many players will become restricted free agents — rather than unrestricted — because there will be no salary cap in 2010 as the result of no new collective bargaining agreement being reached.
Players such as Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall and Cowboys receiver Miles Austin might have received lots of interest from the Bucs and other clubs when the signing period begins at 12:01 a.m. Friday.
But Marshall received a first-round tender and Austin a first- and third-round tender. Tenders represent the 2010 draft picks a team must give up in order to sign the players.
So what's left to ponder is a weaker list of mostly 30-something unrestricted free agents — those with at least six seasons of experience — such as receivers Terrell Owens, Chris Chambers, Joey Galloway, Derrick Mason and, yes, Antonio Bryant.
No wonder most of the focus for the Bucs and other teams will be on the draft. But Tampa Bay general manager Mark Dominik said his team still plans to participate in the NFL's version of March Madness.
"We'll still burn the midnight oil," Dominik said. "I don't do anything different because at the same point, you don't know if there's going to be more trade opportunities. That's the way I think we really helped our club last year in acquiring (tight end Kellen Winslow). And if you think there's something that can be had that way, sometimes those things can happen in the first day of free agency.
"There's a lot of speculation going on, but no one really knows how this is going to play out."
Because of the 53 juniors who declared for the draft (much larger than normal) teams such as the Bucs are reluctant to forfeit draft picks for restricted free agents.
But Dominik believes some trade opportunities might arise. A year ago, the Bucs' biggest offseason move was trading a second- and fifth-round pick to Cleveland for Winslow.
"I think you certainly have to look; as much as I appreciate what we have," Dominik said. "Last year, when we determined to trade for Kellen, our selection was in the 50s. To me, at 50-something, you would never get that kind of talent. We'll look at each player individually like that and say, 'If they're asking for this, could we find that in this year's draft class.'
"Now this year's draft class is a very strong draft class. Those second, third, and fourth rounds are very talented; certainly the first. It's a deeper draft class. So it's going to make it that much more difficult to part with a pick."
Dominik's colleagues agree.
"I will be interested to see how much interest there is going into free agency with the fewer numbers," Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff said last week at the scouting combine. "I think there are some really good players out there."
But Browns general manager Tom Heckert said teams believe there's better value in the draft.
"I don't think we're going to sign 12 guys," Heckert said. "But if there are players out there we think can help us, we'll go after them.
"No one wants to give up draft picks. That's just the way the NFL works. You're so excited about the draft guys coming out that you're saying instead of giving up a second-, third- or fourth-round pick, you think you can get a better guy in the draft."
A year ago, the Bucs were among the few clubs bidding for defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, who signed with the Redskins. But don't expect Dominik to go after top-tier names such as Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers or Jets running back Thomas Jones.
"The situation we're walking into is unknown for everyone," Dominik said. "Since '92, we've not dealt with this kind of situation (of no salary cap). So no one can really look at the crystal ball and say, 'Here's what people are going to spend,' or 'Here's what people are not going to spend.' It's all pure speculation."

Strange Brew!
Got a craving for beer that goes beyond the ordinary, mass-produced labels that line supermarkets shelves? Look no further than BX Beer Depot (2964 Second Ave. N., Lake Worth). The Palm Beach institution has been a haven for lovers of both microbrews and obscure foreign brands for over 30 years. And the Depot's owner, Sally Parsons, can attest to that: "I was going there for kegs when I was 18," she says. (Hey, 18 used to be the legal age!)
Since taking control of the shop five years ago, Parsons bought out a competing outlet and moved into a new location. Now BX does much more than just sling quality beers its also the official home of the Palm Beach Draughtsmen, a local home brewing club, and host to monthly home brewing classes and events that cover important topics like sanitation, ingredients, bottling, and kegging. Friday at 4:30 p.m., the Depot will host a free beer tasting event focusing on imported brews. Check out what's on the sampling docket: Mahou from Spain; a Czech pilsner called Staropramen; Hoegaarden; Widmer, a wheaty Hefeweizen; everyone's favorite Belgian beer, Stella Artois; and the luscious Red Hook Blonde. And why does Parsons offer free tastings like this one when plain old Bud is so much easier to sell? Were a little store, but we hope by carrying the microbrews and creating interest we can raise Florida up to get more quality beers out here, she says. Now that's a good call.

Blanc names Saha and Gameiro in France squad
France coach Laurent Blanc named Everton striker Louis Saha in his 21-man squad and called up Lorient forward Kevin Gameiro for the first time ahead of next month's Euro 2012 qualifying double header.
The pair will get their chance to impress against Belarus on September 3 and Bosnia-Herzegovina four days later, but Marseille winger Hatem Ben Arfa and Barcelona full-back Eric Abidal have not been included.
Saha was selected in February by former France boss Raymond Domenech for the first time since November 2006, but had to withdraw through injury.
Lyon left-back Aly Cissokho misses out due to a hamstring injury along with Patrice Evra and Franck Ribery, who received bans of five and three matches respectively from the French Football Federation's disciplinary committee in relation to their conduct at the World Cup.
There is no place for Lyon midfielder Jeremy Toulalan, who must serve a one-match ban imposed for his part in the South Africa debacle but is available for the second match against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The fall-out from the team's lamentable performance in South Africa led to new coach Blanc suspending all 23 members of the World Cup squad from his selection for the friendly against Norway in Oslo earlier this month.
Nine players on duty in South Africa were recalled by Blanc today - goalkeepers Hugo Lloris, Steve Mandanda and Cedric Carrasso, Arsenal trio Gael Clichy, Bacary Sagna and Abou Diaby, Chelsea midfielder Florent Malouda, Bordeaux's Alou Diarra and Marseille's Mathieu Valbuena.
Les Bleus' World Cup campaign descended into farce as the squad went on strike after Nicolas Anelka was sent home from South Africa following an altercation with then coach Domenech.
France also finished bottom of their group, scoring just one goal and earning one point in three matches.
France squad: Hugo Lloris (Lyon), Steve Mandanda (Marseille), Cedric Carrasso (Bordeaux); Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Adil Rami (Lille), Philippe Mexes (Roma), Mamadou Sakho (Paris St Germain), Benoit Tremoulinas (Bordeaux), Gael Clichy (Arsenal); Mathieu Valbuena (Marseille), Jeremy Menez (Roma), Lassana Diarra (Real Madrid), Alou Diarra (Bordeaux), Yann M'Vila (Rennes), Abou Diaby (Arsenal), Florent Malouda (Chelsea); Kevin Gameiro (Lorient), Karim Benzema (Real Madrid), Loic Remy (Marseille), Louis Saha (Everton), Guillaume Hoarau (Paris St Germain).

Doc Love: Why Waiting Around Is Bad
you're not the new guyNow, I've got some bad news for you, Vergil. Daphne's not purposely going for jerks. She actually likes this new guy! So, please don't rationalize her Interest Level. She doesn't dig you, she digs the new guy, and whether he's a jerk or not is beside the point. And she likes bad guys because they're not boring. The sad truth is that she prefers a jerk to someone who crawls around on his hands and knees begging: "What would you like me to do next, my Queen?"
Forget whether or not you're a nice guy, pal. That has nothing to do with the current situation, because Daphne's not reacting to you emotionally at all. Like I said, she likes this new guy because she just really likes him. And the fact that she's smitten with him has absolutely nothing to do with you. Like the great Doctor Freud once said: "She doesn't even think about you romantically, and here you are putting this major head trip on yourself."
Here's something else you need to get straight. You didn't treat Daphne the way a woman should be treated. Women don't want to be smothered and suffocated. So, you're contradicting yourself and she's all over Macho Boy like mad because he's not kissing her feet like you are.
get away from herThere's a simple reason you're having trouble getting Daphne off your mind, my friend: It's because you're spending too much time with her. She's having trouble with the idea of you moving on? Like my cousin Rabbi Love says: "My son, that's the biggest lie I've ever heard in my life!"
You are right about one thing, though, Vergil; you certainly are Daphne's backup guy. You're the guy she comes back to when she's bored or between men, and as soon as she finds another Macho Boy, she'll leave you for him like she did with this current guy.
Should you wait for Daphne? Like my cousin Brother Love down in Watts says: "Dawg, you been with this girl for five years and she ain't seen the light yet. What makes you think she's gonna see it now?" You're out, man!
Daphne's friends and family have absolutely nothing to do with her Interest Level in you. Only Daphne's Interest Level counts, not her sister's or her brother's or her best friend's. Like my cousin General Love says: "Are you grasping for straws now, soldier?"
she wants a macho man, not a wimpDaphne doesn't know anything about you being the real deal deep down inside. She doesn't even care about you deep down inside. Like my cousin Sal "The Fish" Love says: "Deep down inside she likes Macho Boys because she's tired of wimps."
However, you insist that she just needs some time to figure out if you're the real deal. That's the second biggest lie in the world! To you Psych majors, when a guy has high Interest Level, he'll believe anything.
Daphne doesn't have feelings for you, Vergil. She has feelings for her new boyfriend. That's why she kisses the other guy and she looks at you as a little whipped puppy dog. Dude, she and Macho Boy are laughing at you, don't you get it?
Remember, guys: When it's over, it's over.
To hear my LOVE RADIO SHOW, send me your love questions or to find out more about "The System," visit me at www.doclove.com or call (800) 404-2644. For the past 30 years Doc Love has asked thousands of women, "Why do you stay with one man versus another?"

Natural Bridges Marine Protected Area (MPA)
Located at the northern edge of the City of Santa Cruz, Natural Bridges is an accessible and popular area where visitors and scientists alike can explore extensive and biologically rich tide pools and sandy beaches. The famous tide pools at Natural Bridges provide habitat for a wide range of species from baby Giant Pacific Octopus to Gumboot Chiton.
The Natural Bridges State Marine Reserve is a special MPA that does not allow any type of fishing, hence the word reserve. There are many different types of MPAs that allow some fishing but since this is such a special and unique area along the coast of California, it is protected from all fishing and harvesting activities.
This beach, with its famous natural bridge, is an excellent place to view birds, migrating whales, seals, and otters playing offshore.

Did you know? Although only one arch remains at Natural Bridges, at one time three arches once stood here until they collapsed from erosion. The outer arch fell during the early 20th century and the inner arch fell during a large storm in 1980 – all that remains is the middle arch!

text: Just how much latitude is there, if any, in the manufacturer's film box expiry date? I know it depends on how it has been stored. I have refused many in date films taken from dealers top shelves next to light fittings and in more than one instance, a couple of feet away from a switched on heater. Once purchased, all my film stock is stored cold (domestic 'fridge) until an hour or so before needed. I would never consider using date expired film on a fee paying assignment. You've guessed, haven't you? Yes, I have found the film stock I KNEW I had and not used and yes, Mrs. S. had moved it to the back to get something else in. Result? Box of film, 10x120RVP and 5x RVP plus the odd roll or two Ektachrome's - TWO years out of date. I could understand if it was a big 'fridge but it isn't, but it WAS buried. I am testing a roll at present, just interested to know other's experiences. Regards - Allan S.

Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2012 | 2 a.m.
Once a year, thousands of people undergo cowboy transformations for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
For 10 days, they trade their slacks and dresses, gym shoes and high heels for blue jeans, belt buckles, cowboy hats and boots. Many want to give the duds a whirl on the dance floor.
That's where Las Vegas' two country music radio stations, 95.5 KWNR-FM and 102.7 KCYE-FM, come in.
In addition to playing country tunes, both will host a litany of cowboy events, including Fremont Street hoedowns, country concerts and whiskey-soaked rodeo after-parties.
The events not only help people satisfy their cowboy itch but offer a crucial opportunity for the stations to convert new listeners.
"It's almost a lifestyle phenomenon," KWNR Programs Manager JoJo Turnbeaugh said. "Because so many people here want to be part of the NFR events, we have the ability to touch and court new country listeners."
Before NFR arrived in Las Vegas in 1985, the valley was a ghost town in December. Few tourists visited, and events were scarce.
Now, the 10-day rodeo is like a holiday for the radio stations. It invites a stampede of country music acts to perform on the Strip and downtown, as well as at restaurants and bars.
For the radio stations, that means sponsorship opportunities. Turnbeaugh said KWNR will host free concerts and hoedowns near the Fremont Street Experience. KCYE will sponsor concerts on the Strip and offer ticket giveaways.
While the actual spike in listeners — and revenue generated — from the rodeo is difficult to gauge, Turnbeaugh said he doesn't doubt the impact.
"I don't know if you see the spike in listeners because of the way ratings are done today," he said. "But the ability to touch people who eventually hold the meter, that's the huge upside for us."
Tom Humm, general manager of the Beasley Broadcast Group, which owns KCYE, said young country artists such as Taylor Swift and their cross-over appeal help the station win new listeners.
"Country radio right now is the hottest format in the country," Humm said. "There's probably around 140 country concerts in Las Vegas annually, and during NFR, every hotel throughout Las Vegas has some form of country act."
Both Humm and Turnbeaugh acknowledged there is competition between the stations to win listeners. But with only two country stations in town, both can benefit.
"A lot of people look at NFR as an event that brings in a lot of tourists and out-of-town money, but it is also something the people of Nevada embrace as their deal," Turnbeaugh said.

It's been a while since I last wrote to you.
I am continually amazed at the support you've shown us this year. To put it lightly, we've had some interesting weather for some of our matches so far, and last week was another example of your unwavering support in spite of poor conditions. You put your passion for this club higher than staying dry on a Friday evening. I've said it from the beginning and I will continue to again and again, but our players, coaching staff and organization – We Stand for You. And as I continue to reiterate that point, you've shown over and over that you have our backs, rain or shine, sleet or snow and in the heat or freezing cold. And to us, that means everything.
Oh, and a special shout out to all the Sons of Ben who cheered & "high fived" me after I received my walking papers.
Once again, thank you.
We're a little past the halfway mark of the season, and while there is always room for improvement, I think it's good to look at the big picture to see some things we have done well. We have 30 points, are sitting in fourth place in a tight race in the Eastern Conference (just three points separate us from first place) and have scored 32 goals through 20 games, which is the most at this point in any of our four years. We've also won three of the past four games at PPL Park, one being a 3-0 win over one of our biggest rivals up north. Considering the fact that we didn't reach 30 points last year until the end of September, I look at some of the things we've accomplished this year to build on that success.
At the same time, we know there is still a lot of room to get better. And we will be working hard to do so.
Since it's been such a long time, I wanted to talk about some of the things you have seen over the past month or so. We're still in the middle of one of the hardest parts of our schedule this season – as the rankings stand. Four of the last five teams we've faced are all in playoff positions and our game this weekend is against the Western Conference's second-place team. To top it off, we've been without some big components of our team in Jack and Keon due to international duty and Kleberson and Lahoud both out with injury.
To address the two heartbreaking draws we recently had against FC Dallas and RSL: we felt like we had done enough to win both of those games. Some calls went our way and others didn't, but we still have to do a better job of managing the match to close a game out with a victory. Those were two really good games for us to learn from, and I was really pleased to see the way we responded against Chivas. After drawing those two games really late into the contest and then losing another to Houston in some really difficult conditions, we went down a goal at home against Chivas last Friday. Up until that point, we hadn't won a game in which the other team scored first. And in that moment – on the heels of that fact and a tough stretch of results – I was really proud of how our team responded. It would have been really easy to mentally fold under that pressure, but guys stepped up and fought back to get us three points (I'm sure the result helped make up for standing in the soaking rain for two hours, too, right?).
And speaking of guys stepping up…
With the recent absences on the team, a lot of guys were able to come in and do a really good job of contributing while we were a little thin in our roster. It's important to put a lot of trust in those guys, and they certainly rewarded us with it. Leo has been able to give our club good production in his first three MLS starts; Aaron stepped in and provided some really consistent minutes in a big way (no pun intended) and even gave us a goal that put us in a position to get a really good result against Dallas; Zac has had very strong games the past few weeks and kept us in games with some important saves; Sebastien is leading the League in assists again with nine after getting two more last week and Sheanon is just behind tied for third (as a defender, no less) and, of course, Conor is having a resurgence and showing exactly why we thought he could be a big factor (pun intended) for our club this offseason. Guys like Matt, Don, Antoine and Roger all were able to contribute, as well. Additionally, with players like Fabinho coming into the lineup, as well as the return of Jack from Gold Cup action, Kleberson and Lahoud from injury and soon Keon from international duty, we're looking at a really deep roster. It's going to be tough to select a starting 11 each week once all of our guys return, and just as tough to decide who will fill out the 18. That's a really good problem for a coaching staff to have, especially going into the second-half of the season pushing for a playoff spot.
Looking ahead to Saturday, this match is an important one for a lot of reasons.
We have the chance to better ourselves in the standings, will have another opportunity to compete against one of the best teams in the League and continue to establish PPL Park as a fortress. But aside from what happens on the field on Saturday, it's an important game for another reason: we are honoring our country's military during the match. We're happy that fans look up to our athletes as role models and we take that with great responsibility. But in reality, the men and women that serve our country, fight for our liberty and sacrifice their lives so we have the freedom to even enjoy a soccer game with friends and family are the ones who deserve our praise. They are the real heroes. We are so proud to be able to give them recognition they have earned.
On Saturday, we hope to see you in the stands at PPL Park supporting our club, but also helping us honor those who deserve it the most.

Mining in South Park: not worth doing
Drilling in South Park is "completely off the table," according to Dave Buchewicz, chairman of the Friends of South Park.
At a meeting Nov. 20, the council of the Friends of South Park decided unanimously to not pursue mining at the South Park Fairgrounds Oval.
"Yes, the Council of Friends supported the recommendation of County Manager Willie McKain not to mine the coal in the Oval," Buchewicz said.
County Council member-elect Sue Means said County Executive Rich Fitzgerald attended the Friends meeting and said it was determined that there were about 60,000 tons of coal in the oval. However, the coal seam was much deeper than originally thought. Means said the coal is about 55 feet underground, significantly deeper than the five feet it had previously been estimated.
"The net value of the coal, if mined, would be only $300,000 to Allegheny County," Buchewicz said. "The request for proposal was a good thing since the risks and rewards were measured and mining coal in the Oval was found to be not worth doing."
Means said if coal was to be mined the "very elaborate drainage system" under the field would have had to be disturbed. She said that system is estimated to be worth about $1 million.
"Everyone was very happy and relieved," Means said, but added there are still "so many buildings that need to be repaired."
"We're trying to think of creative ways to raise funds," Means said.
"I believe the matter is completely off the table and the plan to improve the Oval will take place in 2014 without any mining," Buchewicz said.

Singer shares snaps of bling on Instagram
Rihanna has shown off a gun-shaped tooth grill in a series of saucy pictures on Instagram.
In the snaps, the Bayan singer flashes her killer curves in sexy swimwear and opens her mouth to reveal her golden smile.
'Up watching Cocaine Cowboyz #KillinDeseHeauxz #phuckyogrill,' she posts.
In one picture Rihanna's kneeling on a sunbed wearing a floral one-piece and in another she teams a barely-there bikini with lashings of accessories.
'she. + Rodarte,' she writes.
The most shocking photo is a close up of Ri-Ri's gnashers.
It shows her licking the tiny weapon that's resting on her pearly whites.
The 25-year-old's following in the footsteps of Harry Styles who was snapped wearing ornate tooth jewellery earlier this week.
The One Direction star, 19, posed for a funny Instagram shot taken by photographer and pal Cal Aurand yesterday.
'Didn't get to BBQ tonight but were still grilling,' joked Cal next to the picture.
Others who've tried the bling include Miley Cyrus, Beyonce Knowles, Kanye West and Justin Bieber.

Pierce County Dental Society Give Back To Their Community At Two Recent Events
Project Homeless Connect · October 23, 2013
By Cheryl Jenkins, PCDS Executive Director
By Cheryl Jenkins, PCDS Executive Director
CJ Jung wrote: "You are what you do, not what you say you'll do".
The words could not be more true for the volunteers at the October 23rd Project Homeless Connect which was held at the Tacoma Dome.
The event was a blur. At 8:00 AM (the event began at 9:00 and we decided to get a head start on the day) the volunteers began with the intake process of those looking to get dental care. From that point forward there were very few breaks for the volunteers. It was a day of helping people find their way to the dental services that they needed.
The dental section offered dental screenings, home health care instruction, x-rays, prophys, restorations, emergent care, referrals to the Bates Free Dental Clinic which was held two days later, and referrals to outside agencies.
The outcome was $48,581 in care given by the wonderful dental professionals in a six hour day. Thank you so very much to all who helped out during the day.
The stories of why a person is there seeking services can truly make you humble and grateful that you have what you have. Many young homeless adults don't have any money to pay for an extraction or get a cleaning; a woman in her fifties has lost her job and can't find another job at her age. The most poignant story was a young man in his early twenties had been hit by lightening and had to get dental care before he had surgery.
No matter how uncomfortable the volunteers were at the event they hung in there and finished the day. It was a day where the energy level and adrenaline is high, which will get you through the day and at the end you will breathe a sigh of relief that it is all over. Together as a group (one body) everyone gave the most they could to their fellow volunteers and the patients. Kudos to all of the volunteers.
The next Project Homeless Connect will be on Saturday, January 25th at Spanaway Middle School. If you don't have anything going, please think about volunteering. Contact Cheryl at the PCDS Central Office, 272-9960.

47% of babies born with Down's Syndrome also have congenital heart problems. Down's Heart Group provides parent friendly support and information to their families to enable them to make informed decisions about their child's future. We then support them every step of the way throughout life, being available whenever they need us. Our staff and the majority of our volunteers and trustees have direct links with someone who has Down's Syndrome and heart problems and they use their considerable personal experience to benefit other families.
We are the UKs biggest blood cancer charity. We are here to beat blood cancer. We stop people dying from blood cancer, we make patients lives better and we stop people getting blood cancer in the first place. We research. We help. We campaign. We share learning. We raise money. We have changed the world for people with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and other blood disorders, but we won't stop until every single person with blood cancer survives and can live their life to the full.

2012 Virgin London Marathon
22 April 2012
The Virgin London Marathon is one of the great British sporting events, combining elite athletics, mass participation and record-breaking fundraising in one race. The course is a gruelling 26 miles 385 yards long, passing through the streets of London from Blackheath to the famous finish line at The Mall.

Tom does the London Marathon (and more!)
Hello everyone!
Welcome to my fundraising page! As some of you may know, I'm doing the London Marathon this year, in support of two fantastic charities: Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research; and the Down's Heart Group. However, in addition to running the London Marathon, I'm also going to be running in the Reading Half-Marthon, and maybe even swimming over 10km in the Swimthon (in aid of Marie Curie; more details to follow). And all three of these events are in April 2012; what a joy!
I'd really appreciate if you could sponsor me; whatever you can manage, as it all adds up and makes a difference.
Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research (http://leukaemialymphomaresearch.org.uk/) is a fantastic charity that is dedicated to researching blood cancers and finding new and innovative ways to treat them. My wonderful friend Hannah is a leukaemia survivor, and that is thanks to all the hard work done by charites in the last 50 or so years. This is for Hannah.
Down's Heart Group (http://www.dhg.org.uk/) is a charity that provides support and information relating to heart conditions associated with Down's Syndrome. My younger brother, Ned, was born with Down's Syndrome and his heart had an atrioventricular septal defect. As a result of this, Ned needed two major heart operations to repair his heart and enable him to grow properly. The people at the DHG were fantastic, giving my parents information and support over the phone when they needed it most. This is for Ned.
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.

Walk in closets are a symbol of luxury that every home owner seeks to have, gone are the days when such closets were meant for people with mansions. We help our esteemed clients to acquire functional and elegant walk in closets Calgary that enable them to have very organized and impeccable places from where they dress. We make it possible for you to have a closet that will ensure that you display your clothes and other accessories in the most desirable manner. If you have good design choices, you will definitely end up with a closet that you have always dreamed about.
Here are a few things you should consider for bestcustom closets:
• Choose a Shape
Some people opt for walk in custom closets that are "L" shaped because they occupy two walls of the room and leave you with enough space for movement. The "U" shape takes up three walls to give maximum storage. In most cases, the straight walk in closet paves way for separate sides (his and hers) and is suitable for small spaces. Regardless of the size, all the three shapes have an area that is specifically set aside for dressing or putting on shoes.
• Choose convenient Storage
We all have a lot of accessories that need to be kept throughout the year. Adding more drawers to your desired closet is the greatest way to have your items kept in a very organized manner away from dust. Setting aside dedicated storage for clothing and accessories will make it very easy and eliminate any stress when looking for items that you need. The best design should take care of shelving requirements, space for hanging, cabinets and drawers that will make your closet appear to be very neat and uncluttered.
• Decide the Style you want
You need to carefully consider several closet ideas before deciding on the best style for your custom closets. The best contemporary style is one that will enable you to have a clean, organized space from where you will be able to display clothes and other accessories beautifully. After giving the design process much thought, you need to come up with a definite style in your mind that would make your walk in closets look cohesive. Once you have developed a sketch of your closet, feel free to incorporate any ideas that you may pick up from experts.
• Dressing and Seating area
In case you have enough space, then your dressing area is the ideal place for you to drop any of those items that you will need later. You should therefore make a selection of good storage drawers and sizeable shelves that will maximize your storage space. You will also have to add boxes or trays on top of your shelves to keep small items such as pocket change, jewelry, keys etc.
An ideal walk in closet that is truly functional requires space for seating. This is very important because you will find yourself trying out some outfits. You must sit in order to put on your shoes. The seating area will be determined by the type of style you opt for. Narrow benches are ideal for straight single isle closets. Large open closets have their own type of arrangement that works well for them.
• Customize Mirrors
In case you are running short of custom storage space in your walk in closet, you will realize that you may not be able to place many mirrors that you probably need. When you have a small space you need to upgrade the doors of your closet to mirrored ones. The multipurpose doors will help you keep some of the items in an organized manner as the mirrors will reflect more light within all parts of your closet and will make the area designated for dressing look and feel larger.
• Lighting and artful organization
In your design, you will have to set the desired mood with lighting your closet in different ways. You can opt to have a focal point, increase brightness in a room where the windows are not adequate. The light should be able to make the contents of your beautiful closet visible.
After lighting up your closet you need to organize your items in sections and come up with combinations of your favorite items that can be displayed. When displaying your items you should be cautious enough not to overdo. The displays should be minimal while making provision for light.
Remember the maxim that says 'less is more'? Contact us today and we, the experts will plan and design a beautiful custom closet for you.

Lies, Damned Lies
Loopy in the Loop
It was a good Monday morning in Chicago. The Bears' embarrassing loss in San Francisco was hardly noticed; the looming prospect of six months of gloomy weather dampened no one's spirits. The start-of-the-workweek blahs were tempered, and 30% fewer cups of coffee were consumed, except by those who, toasting their heroes, reveled late into the night in the pubs of Bridgeport and Wrigleyville, 8 a.m. conference calls be damned. It was the 8th of September, and the Cubs and the White Sox were in first place. But for a few old-timers who spoke in frenzied hushes of billy goats and black stockings, nobody could remember such a thing happening before.
You'll need to excuse me for indulging my poetic license; there's a reason why I stick to non-fiction. But it is an awfully good time to be a baseball fan in Chicago, with teams on both sides of town good bets to reach the post-season, something that hasn't happened since the Cubs and Sox met in the World Series of Base Ball in 1906. In their honor, let's take look at the dynamics of the two-team market in Chicago.
It's a well-established fact that teams that have a rival in their own market compete for scarce resources like television and radio contracts, media exposure, and fan loyalty. For those reasons, it's safe to assume that a club in a two-team market will not make as much money, or draw as many fans, as if it had the market all to itself. But we want to get at a somewhat more specific question here: How much does the success or failure (as opposed to the mere presence) of the crosstown rival affect the success of the other club?
The Cubs have not always been the box office juggernaut that we've seen in the Sammy Sosa Era. The team limped through much of the '70s in the bottom half of the league in attendance, averaging around 15,000 per for the decade. The Cubbies' big attendance turnaround came in 1984. Prior to that Orwellian year, they'd never averaged 25,000 fans per game; since then, they've only had one season in which they failed to meet that threshold.
The increase in attendance was the result of the confluence of several, rather unrelated events:
Meanwhile, across town, the White Sox were struggling. Old Comiskey Park and the neighborhood surrounding it were decaying, and so was the team on the field. After winning 99 games and drawing 2.1 million to Comiskey in 1983, the White Sox watched as their attendance dropped to dead last in the American League by 1989 amidst threats that the team would be moved to Florida. The opening of New Comiskey in 1991 helped matters, especially in the early going. But as a box office draw, the Sox now play second fiddle to the Cubs, whose attendance has continued to increase through good times and bad:
Let's try and develop a simple model for predicting Cubs per-game attendance. We will take into account three factors: the Cubs' winning percentage in the current season, the Cubs' winning percentage in the previous season, and an estimate of the Gross Metropolitan Product for the City of Chicago for the year in question. The latter factor is the tricky bit: it is estimated by U.S. per capita GDP in 1996 dollars, times Chicago population as provided by the census bureau. For example, Chicago's GMP for the year 1960 is estimated at $46.7 billion (3.55 million people at $13K each). In 2000, the GMP was $94.3 billion (2.89 million people at $33K each). While that approach is more complicated than using a linear variable to represent the year, it's important to account for the fact that baseball attendance has continued to increase with the country's expanding wealth, and using the GMP estimator is considerably more accurate than looking at time alone.
In any event, our little model is pretty good at estimating Cubs attendance. Looking at all seasons since 1946, the model explains about 78% of the variance in Cubs attendance, and all three variables are statistically significant. I'll present the key terms from the regression here for those who are interested:
Variable Coef. t P>(t) Chicago GMP (billions of 1996$) 411.8 11.65 0.000 Cubs Winning Percentage (n) 25416 2.53 0.014 Cubs Winning Percentage (n-1) 20492 2.21 0.032 Constant -28041 -4.90 0.000 R^2: 0.775
To translate that into something that's easier to understand, each additional win is estimated to boost Cubs attendance by 23,000 people, spread out between the current season and the season following. The long-standing proposition that Cubs attendance is insensitive to the quality of the team on the field doesn't hold up very well here; it's only been very recently that there's enough excess demand for Cubs tickets that they draw well even when they aren't playing well.
But what if we introduce another factor: White Sox winning percentage. As it turns out, while there is little discernable effect stemming from White Sox winning percentage in the current season, there is a statistically significant effect (at the 90% confidence level) related to Sox % in the previous season. It seems that the two teams are competing to some degree for season-ticket sales, which are driven largely by success in the previous season, and which are more of an either-or proposition than are single-game tickets. Here are the results of the new model:
Variable Coef. t P>(t) Chicago GMP (billions of 1996$) 415.4 12.05 0.000 Cubs Winning Percentage (n) 25163 2.57 0.013 Cubs Winning Percentage (n-1) 17554 1.92 0.061 Sox Winning Percentage (n-1) -15542 -1.97 0.055 Constant -18900 -2.60 0.012 R^2: 0.791
Does the same thing hold on the other side of town? Interestingly, it doesn't: White Sox attendance appears to be relatively insensitive to Cubs winning percentage. Curiously, White Sox attendance is also rather insensitive to Sox winning percentage in the year previous, which suggests just how dependant the Sox are (and have always been) on walk-up sales.
The White Sox attendance model is specified below. (Note that we've included an additional term to account for the "honeymoon effect" associated with the opening of New Comiskey. It's a dummy variable that takes on the value of five in 1991, the first year that the new park was open, and decreases by one every year until the effect is presumed to run out in 1995).
Variable Coef. t P>(t) Chicago GMP (billions of 1996$) 162.5 5.81 0.000 Sox Winning Percentage (n) 35551 5.52 0.000 New Comiskey dummy 3562 7.49 0.000 Constant -11903 -3.17 0.003 R^2: 0.759
Confused? Good; I'm a little confused, too. But what I think is happening is as follows:
Nothing like linear regression to take all the joy out of a pennant race, huh?
I ran a similar analysis for the other two-team markets--Los Angeles, New York, and the San Francisco Bay--but no city except for Chicago exhibited attendance patterns that were interdependent in this way. That may have to do with the relative ease of transport between the two parks--Wrigley is about 20 minutes away from U.S. Cellular Field on the Red Line, with the Loop stuck halfway in between--so Chicagoans can afford to discriminate based on team quality in a way that residents of other two-team cities can't.
In any event, it's going to be a fun September in Chicago. Check that: a fun October.

Last night, representatives from Teamster's Local 814, which represents the locked-out Sotheby's art handlers, rallied at 820 Fifth Avenue in an apparently effective effort–collector Lily Safra sent sandwiches!–to garner support among Sotheby's honchos and clients.
Among those associated with Sotheby's in the building are Michael David-Weill, a descendant of one of the founders of Lazard Frères & Co. and a Sotheby's board member, Citadel Investment Group founder and art collector Kenneth Griffin and dealer William Acquavella. The Sotheby's art handlers were locked out after the company failed to renew their contract in late July. Sotheby's raised the ire of the locked-out workers last month by allegedly hiring part-time workers from Crozier Fine Arts.
Teamsters Local 814 president Jason Ide told Gallerist that they found a great deal of sympathy in the socialite, frequent Sotheby's client and former MoMA board member Lily Safra.
"I worked at Sotheby's and the workers always had a great relationship with Mrs. Safra," Mr. Ide said. "She always went out of her way to thanks us for the work we did for her, and we did everything we could to take care of her and her property because she had several big sales."
Mrs. Safra came to the window last night, Mr. Ide said, and even sent associates with sandwiches for the striking workers.
"It's good that Lily Safra did this," Mr. Ide said. "It sends a message to prominent New Yorkers."
Though she's featured rather prominently in an upcoming auction this month — "Property from the collections of Lily & Edmond J. Safra, Volumes I-IV" — Mr. Ide said the work was consigned well before the art handlers lock-out. If the lock-out continues into the fall sales, Mr. Ide assured Gallerist that the Teamsters have made plans to continue their protest efforts. More on that to come.

Ice Cream Soda from the 60's
Junior Burger
2006/07/23 21:49:58
In the 60's, the Thriftways in the Deep South sold an ice-cream novelty that you dropped into a glass of soda water and it became an ice cream soda. I can still remember the exciting volcanic fizzing, not to mention the taste, which was really chocolatey (to a six-year-old). It may have been crossed with a float, but it was definitely mixed with soda water. Canada Dry soda water to be exact....clear bottles...
Anybody else heard of these so I can prove I'm not hallucinating?

Can't believe this book's still got the Trinity of Sin banner after more than a year, you'd think they'd drop it.
Art's pretty nice, though that last page is a little weird.

Exclusive GRAMMY.com Interview With Skylar Grey
GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter Skylar Grey recently visited The Recording Academy's headquarters in Santa Monica, Calif., to participate in an exclusive GRAMMY.com interview. Grey discussed the message she hopes to communicate to her fans, what it was like to hear her music on the radio for the first time, transforming her career and stage name, and her debut album, Don't Look Down, among other topics.
"Skylar Grey is like … the superhero version of me. It's who I grew up into," said Grey. "I went through a major transformation after having some success in the music industry and then going totally broke. … I came out feeling like a superhero and I had to relabel myself."
Born Holly Brook Hafermann, in 2004 Wisconsin native Grey signed a deal as Holly Brook with Machine Shop Recordings, co-owned by Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson of Linkin Park. Her debut album as Holly Brook, 2006's Like Blood Like Honey, reached No. 35 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. She subsequently opened for artists such as k.d. lang, Teddy Geiger and Jamie Cullum, among others, before deciding to take a hiatus from music and retreating to a cabin in Oregon. She reemerged in 2010 as Skylar Grey and garnered two GRAMMY nominations, including Song Of The Year, for co-writing Eminem and Rihanna's 2010 No. 1 smash "Love The Way You Lie." She subsequently earned another three nominations in 2011, including Album Of The Year for appearing on Rihanna's Loud.
Released in July, Don't Look Down is Grey's debut album under the moniker Skylar Grey. Executive produced by Eminem, the 12-track album peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 and includes a collaboration with the GRAMMY-winning rapper on "C'mon Let Me Ride."

This, he actually goes up and gets passes thrown over his head....about a season too late for Alex who could have used a guy like him. I can see McDonald being a real force in the redzone, he uses his height and width well to create separation.

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 1 Hold Rating, 15 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Buy (Score: 2.94)Consensus Price Target: $142.73 (1.37% upside) Analysts' Ratings History for Honeywell International (NYSE:HON) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails9/22/2017Morgan StanleyBoost Price TargetOverweight$145.00 -> $149.00Low9/21/2017Deutsche Bank AGReiterated RatingBuy$154.00Low8/27/2017Royal Bank Of CanadaSet Price TargetBuy$148.00Low8/22/2017Jefferies Group LLCReiterated RatingBuy$155.00Low8/8/2017Cowen and CompanyReiterated RatingOutperform$140.00 -> $150.00Low7/25/2017Credit Suisse GroupReiterated RatingNeutral$131.00 -> $139.00Low7/24/2017Oppenheimer Holdings, Inc.Boost Price TargetOutperform$148.00 -> $155.00Medium6/21/2017HSBC Holdings plcInitiated CoverageBuy$147.00Low4/25/2017Stifel NicolausBoost Price TargetBuy$136.00 -> $143.00Low4/25/2017Citigroup Inc.Boost Price TargetBuy$140.00 -> $147.00Low4/25/2017Barclays PLCBoost Price TargetOverweight$139.00 -> $140.00Low1/31/2017ArgusReiterated RatingBuy$135.00N/A1/20/2017Robert W.
