Want to see how the life of the Lullaby Factory began? Visit the Mall Galleries from 10th – 15th June, where we present "Lullaby Factory I, II, and III," three risograph prints on recycled paper. These drawings were the starting-point for the project.
Studio Weave were picked by Hugh Pearman (Sunday Times, RIBA Journal) to exhibit as part of the 'Critics' Secrets' exhibition, where 25 art critics selected an artist, craft maker or architect they admired for a group exhibition.
All work is for sale with all proceeds from the Lullaby Factory prints going to Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The weavers experienced our 15 minutes of fame when we appeared on a double-page spread in the ES Magazine – although our Ecology of Colour building might have taken the limelight (despite the colourful knitwear).
In the piece, Dipal Acharya proposes that 'were he around today, Salvador Dalí might have commissioned Studio Weave to build him a London bolthole.' The full article, entitled 'Meet the Austerity Architects', can be read here.
The photo shoot took place on a crisp morning on-site at Ecology Island in Dartford with photographer Matthew Stylianou.April 15th, 2013

Alongside our other projects, here at Studio Weave we have been developing a range of Salt Made From Tears in collaboration with the Ministry of Stories and Halen Môn. The different flavoured salts are produced from the tears of humans in various emotional and physiological states for monsters to flavour their cooking, including Salt Made From Tears of Sorrow and Salt Made From Tears shed while Sneezing.
Salt Made From Tears has just hit the shelves at Hoxton Street Monster Supplies, quite possibly the world's only purveyor of quality goods for monsters of every kind.May 23rd, 2012

Studio Weave was invited to join architects from England, Scotland and the Netherlands as part of an event to encourage collaboration between emerging practices across these three nations. Organised by Buro Happold and the Dutch Embassy in London, Maria and Je attended the one-day event jampacked with engaging presentations and debate, and the inspired cohort decided to continue discussion at the pub. It's always nice to hear about the sorts of projects other architects find themselves involved in and the tales certainly became more interesting as the night went on.November 28th, 2011

An Opera of Buildings
(part of the ICA's Live Weekends Series)
In collaboration with clarinettist and music teacher Kazia Smith, Studio Weave were proud to present, for one night only, a unique Opera of Buildings.
Taking as a starting point our practice design methodologies of making up fairytales, personifying buildings and landscapes, and discovering the important imaginary relationships between buildings in the city, we made building-costumes and in them performed a Building Opera of nursery rhymes as you've never heard them before.
Twenty children thought to themselves: "If I were a building, what kind of building would I be?" Results included the Hotel Magnificent, a country house, a princess palace, a turreted stone castle, twin skyscrapers with green roof gardens and many more…
And as if re-inventing yourself as a building isn't enough for one evening, we then re-learnt old nursery rhymes with new words and performed an opera telling the tale of two towns who discovered each other and became the best friends two towns have ever been.
Thanks to Kazia, the ICA and everyone who took part, it was a strange and wonderful evening!May 16th, 2010

This summer Studio Weave will be heading to the Isle of Wight for Studio in the Woods, an outdoor summer workshop aimed at architecture students, practicing architects and anyone with an interest in place, landscape and the direct experience of making and working with materials to hand.

On the 11th December the MUSARC / ASD Choir performed in the beautiful St Bartholomew's at West Smithfield. More about the concert here. We performed works by Orazio Vecchi, Orlando di Lasso, Gavin Bryars, Anton Bruckner as well as spirituals and traditional carols from the 15th century to the present.
Before and after the concert, the audience played on an amazing Gas Organ, invented by Lou Smith. This consists of glass tubes and propane torches. Sound is generated when the heat from the propane flame causes the air in the tube to heat up and vibrate.
In the middle of the concert Trio Tambourine, a wind trio (whose clarinetist is Maria's sister) played some Martinon and Milhaud.December 12th, 2009

Studio Weave were invited along with David Kohn Architects and 00:/ to travel to Istanbul as part of the Architecture Foundation's International Exchange Programme between new young practices here and abroad. This was a very exchangeful experience both between us and the Istanbul practices: Asli Kiyak Ingin, ddrlp, and Tuspa NK as well as between Studio Weave and our neighbours in London. Getting to know 00:/ and the newly YAYA-ded David Kohn better was fascinating, at times quite hilarious, and also uncovered the secret to a great old legend…
Our visit included presenting at Istanbul Technical University, attending the lectures and book launches, visiting our Turkish counterparts' offices, and of course wondering about and finding treasures such as a road devoted to trophy making!
We also visited Sulukule, a 550-year-old Roma district now mostly demolished. The Guardian ran an article last July on the the area.
Discussions with the Istanbul practices revealed very interesting issues around small practices winning public clients and influencing a city's developement and also models of collaborative working. Another key topic was the division of academia from practice and the negative (and perhaps occasionally positive? discuss?!) effects this is having on architectural education.
We couldn't help but be distracted by the many furry little pussycats that make this city their home. They seem much friendlier than our neighbour's cat!
The programme will continue with the Istanbul practices visiting London next year. Meanwhile, I will leave you with something very special…November 9th, 2009

As you'll remember from your own nursery class, its important to abide by the rules.

Smith is finished and open for business to mark the launch of Clerkenwell Design Week 2014. The pavilion celebrates the long tradition of making in Clerkenwell, from goldsmiths and clocksmiths, to booksmiths and even coffeesmiths. Over the three-day design festival, contemporary craftspeople and smiths will be taking residence at Smith and hosting a range of workshops and demonstrations.
Smith has been made in collaboration with structure-smiths Webb Yates, fibre-cement-smiths and our material sponsor: Equitone by Marley Eternit, and thing-smiths, our fabricators: Nicholas Alexander.

This summer Studio in the Woods took place in the ancient woodland of Stanton Park, just outside Swindon. Studio Weave took on the role of coordinating the activities this year, in collaboration with a host of award-winning architects, engineers, and furniture makers as well as 60 participants who camped on-site for five days.
The five structures built during the workshop respond to the various characteristics of the woodland and how our senses interact with these. As part of a wider project of Studio Weave's at Stanton Park and the neighbouring Stratton Woods, to tie the sites together through one engaging narrative, we have written a story about the Indlekith, a community of industrious woodland folk who are difficult to spot but clues of their existence lie in the smells, sounds, and textures of the woods.
Pictures of the event and work in progress can be found here [Photography by Yiannis Katsaris]

Call for Visual Artists -
We are looking for an artist (or artists) to work closely with us and our appointed lighting consultant to re-imagine the 'undercroft' of an elevated concrete building. All visual artists, including designers and architects, are invited to interpret the notion of 'Excavating Mitcham' and to construct a renewed sense of place through a sensitive and rigorous engagement with the local context, in a way that would enrich and add a new layer to existing narratives of the area.
/ /
We highly recommend that you catch The Nest, currently showing at the disused Welsh Chapel on Shafesbury Ave, while you can.
The performance by the New Movement Collective is a re-imagination of Homer's Odyssey through immersive contemporary dance, complete with interactive lighting and sound.
In designing the set, this was a really exciting collaboration for Studio Weave to be a part of, with the team including NMC, Marshmallow Laser Feast, Webb Yates Engineers and Small Projects.
The show has already got rave reviews from the Guardian here and the BBC here. It runs in its current location until July 24th.
More details on this project to follow on our website…July 19th, 2013

The Royal British Legion's Poppy Club on St Mark's Road is the first of a series of walls to be given a facelift by London-based artist Stephen Mackie of Pencil and Brick.
Stephen has been working with the Poppy Club owners to create an artwork that makes a pattern from silhouettes of key buildings in Mitcham town centre, incorporating the Poppy Club's poppies.
"If you look up while wandering around Mitcham town centre, you will begin to notice some interesting silhouettes. They appear at the top of buildings, like decorative hats on a well-made hat stand. The idea behind the mural is to root it in Mitcham; I would like local people to walk past and recognise the shapes of the buildings as they stroll around the town. There are a number of different buildings used in the pattern including St Marks Primary School, The Vestry Hall and… well, you tell me which other buildings you can spot."
Stephen Mackie, Illustrator
The artwork was completed at the end of April 2013 and the Time Lapse video has recently been put together to promote this kind of activity in the Town Centre. Musician Krysia Mansfield kindly offered to compose a piece as the backing to the time lapse. The time lapse was put together by Silvio Palladino of Unveil Arts. This is part of the OneMitcham project which is funded by the Outer London Fund.June 27th, 2013

Last night saw the opening of a group show organised by Studio Weave, celebrating the work of everyone involved at One Station Parade in Romford. Over the past few months, we have been involved with transforming the previously empty shop on Victoria Road into a studio space for a host of participatory artists' residencies and workshops. The events form part of our community engagement programme for public realm improvements in the area.
The show will run until Tuesday 18th Dec (Fr 10-6 / Sa 10-6 / Su 12-4 / Tu 10-6). Exhibits on show include: Clare Sams' knitted sculptures; photos of Bob Aldous' painted shutters along the street; the Gathering by Rich White, made from Romford's detritus; and products of other workshops including creative writing, mosaics, zines, safety devices and DIY chair. We've also turned one of the back rooms into a mini cinema for showing Natalie Bays' film from her Multi-coloured Swap Shop residency (see below).

One Station Parade has been filled with brightly coloured wool and transformed into k1 p1 rm1. Our current artist in residence, Clare Sams, has been busy taking knitting to the streets of Romford, involving local businesses and residents, while creating her very own representation of Victoria Road. The 3D knitted sculpture is on display in the shop window and growing by the day, keen local knitters are invited to donate objects to occupy the streets. Clare will be hosting lots more knitting activities until this Sunday.

As part of creating a strong local presence for our project in Romford, to improve the public realm of Victoria Road and The Battis, we have taken the lease of a previously empty shop and transformed it into a project space. Over the next few months, One Station Parade will host a series of artists' residencies as well as a wealth of other events and workshops for local residents.
For the first artist's residency, Bob Aldous has been engaging with local businesses by painting the shutters of various shops along Victoria Road (see below). Our second artist in residence, Clare Sams, has now moved into One Station Parade and will be running lots of knitting-themed activities, including working towards a knitted representation of the road itself and its residents.
On 25th October, we'll be opening an exhibition of old photographs and maps of Victoria Road and The Battis – see our call for photos on the Romford Recorder here.

Last Friday saw the very grand opening of our Xintiandi pavilion, complete with fireworks and lasers. The Shanghai Shop Windows project partnered nine RIBA UK architects with Shanghai retailers to create a series of eye-catching architectural window installations as part of the British Council's UK Now celebration of UK arts in China. Studio Weave was selected to work directly with the Shui On Group to design a pavilion for the exterior space at Xintiandi shopping centre.
Hung in a grid, the chains create a zone of dense space that can be passed through but that is viscous and strange. Visitors can plunge into the space, pushing and pulling the chains aside to find little empty pockets surrounded by the golden streams. From inside, the view out is coloured by gold, as if from within a golden mist.

National Trust has selected Studio Weave from 168 competition entries to design a series of 'playful incidents' to whip up a sense of adventure for exploring the parkland surrounding Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire. The term incident was used by Robert Adam, whose first major commission was to design the mansion and estate at Kedleston in the 18th century, to denote a manmade point of interest in a rural setting. Our winning proposal for the Hear Heres will encourage visitors to listen to and interact with all the different sights and sounds of the landscape.
This commission forms part of Trust New Art, a collaboration between Arts Council England and National Trust to bring contemporary art and design to historic places across the country and will be in place and open for this summer!March 7th, 2012

The hunt is on as 209 splendorous eggs take over the streets of London. Launched last week, be sure to visit the Big Egg Hunt website to download all 12 Egg Zone maps… keep your eyes peeled for our golden contribution in a not-so-secret location (we'll give you a clue, it can be found in zone 11: The City – eggstra points for guessing from the pic above).
Here's a shortened version of the story 'All That Glitters', which accompanies our egg:
Once upon a time there were two brothers, each king of his own kingdom, who every spring would exchange gifts. One year, the younger brother brought an egg that turned to gold upon being placed in an egg cup. The older king happily accepted the astounding gift but after a while, he realised that the egg held no real value as it refused to remain gold to be sold, and refused to remain common to be fed upon; and exasperated, he abandoned it in a far away kingdom for some other fool to find.February 27th, 2012

Remember all those colourful elephants that adorned London's streets back in 2010? Well, now it's time for the city to be overrun by oversized eggs for a 40-day, great Big Egg Hunt, organised by Elephant Family and Action for Children. We relished the opportunity to craft one of the 200 eggs, which will form part of this eggcellent adventure! (sorry, couldn't resist)
The fruits, or egg, of our labour will be revealed in all its glory at a mystery location on 21 February, joining eggs by Chapman Brothers, Nicholas Grimshaw, Bompas & Parr, Ridley Scott and many, many more… Following Easter, all the eggs will be auctioned off to raise money for the two charities.January 25th, 2012

On a cold December morning in Willesden Green, the action-packed history of the kebab was revealed in the form of giant, golden, kebab-shaped window illustrations. Our transformation of new kebab restaurant, Real Charcoal also includes a second golden kebab depicting the ingredients and processes of making the perfect kebab, a window display unit that frames the real rotating doners and houses fresh herbs, Turkish tea sets and a row of the distinctive Turkish double decker tea pots.
The project is part of The Architecture Foundation's New Windows on Willesden Green. An Outer London Fund project, NWoWG is being delivered for Brent Council and Design for London by The Architecture Foundation in collaboration with Meanwhile Space and Blue Consulting. The project paired local shop owners with designers to produce an advent calendar of window displays.

The project has a very quick turnaround and all our kebab efforts will be revealed on Friday 16th December!

January 9, 2013
Dear Alice: I'm pretty good friends with a guy but we aren't dating and that ship sailed a long time ago. We've stayed friends and still go to movies and stuff together. I have a boyfriend that I've been with for a while now and he's okay with my friendship with this other guy but is getting a little worried about how close this guy is trying to get to me. Lately my friend "John" has been acting really strange. He texts me non stop and talks to me 24/7 and he even rubs my back in class. For the entire class period. It makes me feel really uncomfortable but I don't know how to tell him to back off. It isn't like we're best friends even, we're just friends. I fell bad because John doesn't have many friends to begin with. I have a boyfriend and John is giving me weird attention and I'm pretty sure he likes me. What should I do? -Crossing the Friendship Line
Dear Crossing the Friendship Line: The best way to fix this is to slowly remove yourself from John. First, stop texting back so much. If you text him back all the time he probably gets the feeling that you like him too. Next, make him stop touching you in class. That is really awkward and annoying and you shouldn't have to feel that way. If you can change seats, ask one of your other friends to sit behind you for a couple of days. That way you don't have to tell him that you don't like him touching you and hurt his feelings. But if you can't change seats you need to ask him to stop touching you. You don't need the distraction of feeling uncomfortable in class. Don't talk to him all the time either. Try to stay around a group of your other friends to stop him from wanting to talk in private. You don't have to end your friendship with him, but you do need to distance yourself so he doesn't keep clinging like this. Hopefully this will stop and he can continue to be your normal friend again.-Lots of Love, Alice

It would seem fitting…and perhaps this wee lassie's soul is calling her home – what with St. Pattie's day 'round the corner…that I seek to know a wee bit more about me (ANN) fadda's family from Ireland, ye say; ye don't say!
And where in Ire'lan would that be lassie; we're a big country girl responds the tour operator? Well, "Of course Cork, where else?" she responds, indignant at the question – muttering, "And he should have known that, the big dummie.'" As though adding insult to injury, he continues and asks her,"Well girlie, be more specific will ya! Cork's a big place, don't ya know?"with Anne turning beet red, wanting to explode she all but yells, "I said Cork. I want to go visit me family in Cork; so tell me how do I get there."
Sounds a bit like me (by the way my name does include "Anne") as I wrote that wee ditty; impatient and expecting others to be able to read my mind! Gotta be the Irish blood in me boiling to the surface.
Anyway, I'm learning and searching and found this info on a site about my roots, me fatha's hometown of Cork in the County of Cork.
Corcaigh (in Irish) The largest county of Ireland, Cork is tucked away in the south western corner of Ireland along with county Kerry . It is bordered by Co. Waterford to it's east and by counties Tipperary and Limerick to the north.
- North Cork is a mix of rolling green hills and mountains but also has some of Ireland's richest pastures in the Golden Vale
- East Cork is a region with gentle hills and beautiful beaches
- To the south and west of the county the region know as West Cork , boasts a wild and rugged coastline of rocky headlands, great bays and secret coves warmed by the Gulf Stream.
Like many counties in Ireland Cork's main industries are farming, fishing and tourism. The remote westerly region of West Cork has become a popular destination for those wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy a slower pace of life around small, rural fishing villages and towns, amid some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in Ireland. West Cork is popular with the yachting crowd who gather each summer in the tiny harbours of Baltimore, Schull and Kinsale, the historic port renowned as the culinary capital of Ireland. In this region of the country, you'll also find Ireland's most southerly point; Mizen Head.
Towns in County Cork
The county capital; Cork City is the second city of the Republic of Ireland and in 2005 was named the European Capital of Culture. During the 10th Century Cork was the Gaelic capital of the province of Munster, a fact the locals remember when they call Cork the real capital of Ireland. Other important towns include
- The town of Cobh just outside Cork City was once Ireland's main port and was the embarkation point for some 2.3 million people who left Ireland for new lives in the United States, Canada, Australia and the UK.
- Midleton in East Cork
- Youghal of Moby Dick fame
- Clonakilty – were you can sample the local delicacy Black Pudding
- Skibbereen – Ireland's most southerly town
- Bantry – at the head of one of the finest harbours in Europe
Things to do in County Cork
The county includes some of Ireland's most popular attractions such asBlarney Castle with its Blarney Stone, which is said to bestow the gift of eloquence to all who kiss it. Other top attractions include
- Charles Fort – a near Kinsale is a classic example of a star-shaped fort
- Mizen Head – Ireland's most southerly point
- Bantry House – ancestral home of the White family
- Skibbereen Heritage Centre
Understanding Corkonians
Cork is also known as the Rebel County, a title stemming from its opposition to British rule throughout history. This rebel character is as much alive in the untamed aspect of the landscape and seems to attract people in search of an alternative style of life. Indeed West Cork is home to a number of artists, musicians and celebrities from film and theatre.
The Rebels also have a rich sporting heritage in the Gaelic games of Hurling and Football. Indeed the all Ireland football trophy; the Sam Maguire Cup is named after a Corkman.
Other famous Corkmen include,
- Irish Nationalists Michael Collins , from Clonakilty
- Fenian leader Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa from near Rosscarbery
- Former Taoiseach Jack Lynch
- Writer Frank O'Connor
- Manchester United football legends Roy Keane and Denis Irwin
- UK TV presenter Graham Norton
- Actor Cillian Murphy
while the parents of Henry Ford, the famous American industrialist, emigrated from Ballinascarthy.
County Cork and the surrounding region is easily accessible via Cork Airport which has connections to all major European hubs facilitating one-stop flights to Ireland from most major North American International Airports

Who We Are
Come join us as we discover how the God of the universe knows each one of us by name. University students from all walks of life come together on a regular basis to ask tough questions about God, life, purpose, meaning, commitment…in hopes of finding answers not based on popular opinion but rather on truth.
Through worship, small groups, and serving others God will begin to transform your life from the inside out.
Whether you've gone to church all your life or just beginning to be curious about God and faith, you are invited to explore with us this adventure of living as a follower of Christ.
Come and be transformed with us!
We are a bunch of students at the University of Nebraska at Omaha attempting to find authentic community, grow in discipleship, learn to follow Jesus together, and ultimately change our world. We get together every Thursday night at the Student Center at 7:30pm. Stop in anytime or give us a call and we'll go grab a cup of coffee. We'd love to hear your story!

Tim firstname.lastname@example.com | 402.649.5357
Weekly Gathering
Our community meets weekly on Thursdays at 8pm to encourage one another, to share stories of what God is up to in our lives and on our campus. You can expect to learn from God's word in ways that will be helpful and practical. Together we will lift one voice in songs of praise to God. Our gatherings are a time for fellowship, and for learning, but most importantly they are a time to celebrate together the life we have through the sacrifice of Jesus.
In Acts 2:42-47 we see small groups of believers meeting together in their homes. The result of those meetings was nothing short of world changing. Those early groups ate together, prayed together, took care of one another and their neighbors, and learned about living the Jesus life. The result was the daily growth of those groups and the early church. 242 is your opportunity to go deeper with a smaller cross section of your community and a safe place to invite your friends. 242 is where your name is known, where you are known, and where you can work out the application of your faith by eating, praying, learning, giving, and serving together.
On Mission
Service and Mission Trips – From the inner city to Cambodia and dozens of places in between, CSF students are regularly involved with mission trips. Every year at spring break a large group of CSF students travel across the country in order to serve God and people with their break. There are also additional trips available over fall, winter, and summer break for individuals and groups of students. Many alumni and current students would be quick to tell you that the growth of their faith really took off during a CSF mission trip.
Generation Impact
Following the spring break trip in 2009 a group of students felt called to help meet needs in the local community and Generation Impact was born. The group meets multiple times per month to take part in various service projects helping people around the city.
International Students
Matthew 28 makes it clear that we are to make disciples everywhere in the world. Living on the university campus makes that call a clear reality. There are hundreds of international students on our campus who would love to have friendships and conversations with American students. We have an amazing opportunity to make new friends, learn new cultures and languages, and all while loving a student from another country with the love of Jesus. Dinner & Discussion happens every week at the CSF campus house Sundays at 6pm.

The Lufthansa Heist Revisited
Mob Details
One of the details Burke needed to oversee was receiving approval from the local mob families. Already having the blessing of Vario and the Lucchese group, Burke next had to meet with the Gambinos. He met John Gotti, who was then an acting capo of a crew operating out of the Bergin Hunt and Fish Club. In exchange for the Gambino Family's blessing, Burke was to turn over $200,000 or 10% of the estimated $2.0 million booty. An additional clause was that the Burke gang would be supplemented with Gambino Family member Paolo LiCastri, who served as an "enforcer of the mob's interest."
It is interesting to note that while Volkman and Cummings mention the participation of the Gambino Family in sharing the spoils, Pileggi doesn't. Instead, Hill claims that the Bonanno Family was involved. He states, "The Bonannos ran half of the airport in those days, and Jimmy had to show respect to them to maintain the peace." Hill states that Vincent Asaro was the crew chief who oversaw the Bonanno Family's interests at the airport.
Paolo LiCastri was a Sicilian born hood who after arriving in the United States became associated with the Gambino Family. After a murder conviction in 1975, he was deported in early 1978 to Sicily as an illegal alien. During the fall of that year he was smuggled back in. Having an overblown air of importance about himself and his responsibilities, LiCastri quickly got on the wrong side of Burke. In Hill's account of LiCastri, he disclosed that LiCastri was "an illegal Sicilian shooter, who used to say he was in the air-conditioning business because he put holes in people."
Hill reveals that due to his own participation in a college basketball-betting scheme involving Boston College, and several drug deals, that he "lost track" of the "guys in on the deal." In Wiseguy he states:
I heard for instance, that Jimmy was going to send his eighteen-year-old son, Frankie Burke, on the heist under Tommy, but I never asked and nobody ever mentioned it. Later I heard LiCastri wasn't on the job. Frenchy McMahon, another stickup guy...was also hanging around all the time, but I wasn't sure where he was going to fit in. Frenchy was a good guy and he was very tight with Joe Buddha, so wherever you saw Joe Buddha you saw Frenchy. When you've got something like Lufthansa coming up, you don't ask questions and you don't talk about it. You don't want to know. Knowing what's not necessary is only trouble.
On Friday, December 8, a shipment of money arrived at the Lufthansa cargo terminal from the Commerzbank of Frankfurt, Germany, to be forwarded to Chase Manhattan Bank. Chase received $2.0 million, but an additional $3.0 million that was supposed to be picked up by a Brinks, Inc. armored car never arrived. Brinks' guards were told by a Lufthansa supervisor that the approval of a cargo executive was needed before the money could be released. One of the guards argued that this was not the procedure. However, the supervisor disappeared for an hour and a half and the Brinks' guards were ordered to continue their rounds without having picked up the money from Lufthansa. The supervisor who thwarted the pickup procedure was Louis Werner.

I still think it's a scam. Sorry.
But the
scam is University bookstores. I refuse to buy from them. If I can not find a book cheaper online, but for the same price as the bookstore, I buy it online.
Uni bookstores overcharge by a lot and they know it. For a school that gets my 35k usd a year, they should be ashamed of the prices they charge for books.
And as far as authors getting royalties is concerned... I'm not. I am sure I'll get slammed for this, but the only bigger scam than the bookstore, is "So-and-so's 12th Edition Physics" or "9th edition thermodynamics."
Give me a break. The material is 300 years old... what's new? Oh you changed the order of the problems? You added some pretty new pics? Well, now that you put it that way, sure, I'll shell $200 for the newest genuine version

Trade gives us a lot of flexibility (14 mil trade exception) being under the cap also gives us few draft picks to work with for next year. Metta's contract is over after next year (team option).
We are no longer forced to use MLE on Lin can sign and trade him if a good offer presents itself and go after dragic or nash. We can use the trade exception to go after Andre Igudola or if healthy go after Jeff Green or even better put a big offer to Batum early in free agency (or talk with portanld for a trade). Easily fill the bench with good quality players (KG, JR, Novak, Lin/Dragic, Fields, Geral Wallace).
We could field a good team without going so top heavy.

A brutal murder was filmed on Morrison Avenue this week.
But it was only a re-enactment.
Los Angeles-based "Crime Stoppers" TV show shot an episode at the home of Donn Nottage at 2159 Morrison Avenue on Tuesday night.
The eight-time Emmy Award winning show — which airs in several regional markets — will run on KCAL (a Los Angeles CBS affiliate) next Saturday.
Shawn Rech, executive producer of Crime Stoppers: Case Files — and the owner of Cleveland-based Pinpoint Media — said that the episode is about the murder of Ivan Anders, a 26-year-old student killed in Los Angeles on June 9, 2011.
"He was stabbed and killed at birthday party in Monterey Park, California," said Rech. "The youngest of four brothers, he studying to be a priest. He was at the party and someone attacked a woman and he stuck up for her."
The murderers were never caught.
That's where Crime Stoppers comes in. The show has already led to the capture of four murders in Northeast Ohio, and several others around the country.
Rech said that Morrison Avenue has a similar look to the street where the murder took place. And Nottage — who starred in the episode — has worked with the producers before.
"They needed a yard, so we shot the party scene and the stabbing scene here," said Nottage.
Rech said that the shoot on Morrison Avenue won't be the last in Northeast Ohio.
"We're always looking for new people who are looking to get involved and help out," he said. "There's an open invitation for law enforcement agencies in the Cleveland area for violent unsolved murders to be on the program."

WASHINGTON — Four innovators in agriculture received monetary awards and research funding jointly presented by the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation, an independent federal government agency, and the American Farm Bureau Federation. The awards honor scientists, educators and high school students for their contributions to science and research in agriculture.
"The American Farm Bureau Federation has a long history of supporting new ideas for delivering efficient solutions to our food and agricultural challenges," said AFBF President Bob Stallman. "That is why we are proud to support the work of the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation in fostering the advancement of agriscience."
Dr. Michael P. Doyle, a University of Georgia Regents Professor and director at the Center for Food Safety, is the recipient of the $10,000 Distinguished Agriscience Scientist Award. Doyle's research focuses on food safety and security. On issues related to the microbiological safety of foods, he works closely with government agencies, the food industry and consumer groups.
Dr. Sara Clark, a teacher at Sonoraville High School in Calhoun, Ga., is the recipient of the $5,000 Agriscience Educator Award. As a secondary school teacher for 20 years, Clark encourages her students to explore the many fields of agriscience and find something that interests them. She uses methods such as inquiry-based learning, teaching others and self-directed learning to keep students engaged in the agriscience classroom.
Two high school students were also honored for agriscience research. Jillian Drake and Kellie Einck each received $1,000 awards for individual research projects.
Drake, a senior at Fallbrook Union High School in Fallbrook, Calif., concentrated her research on the plant pathogen Candidatus Liberibacter, which causes severe diseases in citrus trees and crops such as tomatoes, potatoes and peppers. She plans to continue her research at the Agriculture Department's Agricultural Research Service laboratory.
Einck, a junior at South O'Brien High School in Paullina, Iowa, concentrated her research on new developments in ethanol production. Her goal is to find the best combination of bacteria strains for optimal fermentation.
"The winning candidates have demonstrated the desire to secure the future of American agriculture for generations to come and we salute them in those efforts," Stallman said.

By Stephanie Springer - bio | email TIFTON, GA (WALB) –Its been three years since 17-year old Brandi Cole went missing from Tift County. To this day her family members are still searching for answers and clues as to where she and what happened.
For three years, Shellie Auchtung has been missing an importance piece of her heart. "She just vanished. She was supposed to show up to see me that night, but she never did," said Auchtung.
Her 17-year old daughter, Brandi Cole never came home July 7th 2007 and she has not been seen or heard from since. "The next morning I woke up, and I just knew something was wrong," said Auchtung.
Auchtung was originally told and reported to police her daughter was last seen in Tifton getting into the car with four Hispanic men but over the years she has been told otherwise.
But with no leads in the case, Auchtung says she has taken it upon herself to look for clues in her daughters disappearance. "I don't know what to do. I'm not asking for pity I don't want no pity, I just want some help," said Auchtung.
"My sister wouldn't just up and leave, someone knows what happened," said her sister Tia Cole.
Now the family is begging for answers, regardless of the outcome. "I never got the chance to say I love you before she left and I cant have that chance until we have her regardless of the outcome," said Tia.
And they can't help but fear the worst. "I know foul play was a part of it, anyone with any common sense knows that," said Auchtung.
"Someone out there knows something and doesn't have the heart to be anonymous about it and let our family know what happened," said Tia.
The family hopes someone comes forward, to help them finally have some closure.
When Brandi went missing she left behind her two year old daughter Carmen. Family members tell me the child is now with her father in Mexico but they are making a album for her when she gets older so she can draw her own conclusions as to what happened to her mom.
The Tift County sheriff's office says there have been no leads in this case and ask anyone with any information to call Tift County Sheriff's Office at 229-388-6020

From the US Boat to Gaza:
Earlier today, the Israeli navy took control of the one boat from Freedom Flotilla II that had made it into international waters on their way to Gaza. The French-flagged boat – Dignite/Al Karama – carried 16 people from France, Canada, Greece, Sweden and Tunisia. They were stopped about 40 miles away from Gaza and after several hours the Israelis took control of the boat, bringing it to the Israeli port of Ashdod.
There are no reports of any injuries and we have heard the passengers were being arrested. We do not yet know how long they will be detained or what will happen to the boat.
We urge you to contact the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC to call for the immediate release of these people. And – most importantly – we must call on the Israeli government to end the siege and blockade of Gaza, and to treat the people of Palestine in compliance with international law!

Apple: A More Balanced Perspective
By Boniface Murigu - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, DELL
Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) followers have had quite an eventful week. While considerable price upswings for Apple are not uncommon, what is unusual is for the share pricing to respond so vigorously and move so aggressively riding on the back of so little real-news. A 140-character tweet from Carl Icahn that had the billionaire activist investor declare he had ''opened large positions'' in Apple and that the shares were ''extremely more »
Why Apple Needs to Keep Carl Icahn at Bay
By Mark Hibben - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG, IEP, MSFT
Carl Icahn has launched a new crusade to relieve Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) of some of its excess, and unused, cash. After tweeting that he had taken a "large" position in Apple, Apple's stock price jumped above $500 the following day. Should Apple investors be happy? That depends on your investment time frame. In the short term, Icahn's interest in Apple pumps up the stock price, but in the more »

By Sam Mattera - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: AIG, AAPL, MSFT
David Tepper runs Appaloosa Management, one of the largest and most successful hedge funds.

The Fall Of Bureaucracy Will Be The Green Light To Invest In Microsoft
By Lennox Yieke - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, MSFT, YHOO
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is arguably the best innovator in the tech sector. Tech pundits actually argue that the problem with Microsoft is that it is always too early to the party, not the other way around. Microsoft was among the earliest players to advance the idea of a smartwatch and a smartphone. However, the things that held Microsoft back and prevented its great innovations from being reflected in the stock more »
Apple Buyback
By Mark Morelli - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, IEP, WMT
Talk about a reversal of fortune. Over the course of six months (Sept. 2012 to April 2013) the price of Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) stock had fallen from $705 to $385 a share. Since then it has changed course and risen to about $500.
I believe that occurred for two main reasons:
1. The company is returning more value to shareholders through buybacks and dividends.
2. The market is anticipating the more »
How Can Apple Still Grow Its Bottom Line?
By Mike Thiessen - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, GOOG
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) shares have rebounded off of lows but are still undervalued according to some investors. Others argue that earnings and margins will flatten and contract in terms of the latter, making the shares fairly or even overvalued. The risk/reward on Apple at this point looks somewhat attractive. It does not appear the Street is very aggressive in pricing in success from upcoming production introductions and cost reduction more »
Are Chip Makers Hoarding Your Cash?
By Callum Turcan - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, NVDA, QCOM
What would you do with $30 billion? Qualcomm's (NASDAQ: QCOM) CEO says it needs to keep its cash to maintain its dominance in the mobile phone chip market.
Qualcomm pays out a 2.1% dividend yield with a payout ratio of 28.65% which could easily be raised to a higher level. While the CEO Jacobs has stated that Qualcomm needs to keep its massive cash balance sheet to more »
Is a "Cheap" iPhone Destined for China?
By Jason Hall - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, AAPL, CHL
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) manufacturing partner Pegatron recently gave projections of 40%-50% growth in its "non-computing" segment for the 3rd quarter. This points squarely in the direction of a much-rumored "cheap iPhone" being a reality. And with domestic demand of the iPhone remaining robust, many think that this new product will be aimed, at least in part, at the Chinese market. This brings one question to mind: Will this restart more »
The Market Hasn't Recognized This Stock's Potential Yet, but You Should
By Harsh Chauhan - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, RFMD, SSNLF
Radio frequency components maker RF Micro Devices (NASDAQ: RFMD) has been growing at a rapid pace, but sadly, its share price performance so far this year does not reflect the same enthusiasm. The stock is up just 10% this year, significantly lagging the performance of the NASDAQ Composite index.
One would be surprised at such a muted performance, especially considering that the company's revenue in its recently reported first more »
Why Investors Need To Sit On The Sidelines For These Stocks
By Jayson Derrick - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, EMC, FIO
One of the biggest mistakes investors make is jumping in to a long term investment too quickly. These three companies have potential to pay off in the long term, however there still a lot of question marks today that need to be answered first.

Three High-Quality Companies With Attractive Valuations
By Andrés Cardenal - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AIG, AAPL, F
Major market indexes are trading near historical highs, and some stocks are starting to look a bit pricey, but that doesn´t mean that each and every company in the market is overvalued. On the contrary, there are plenty of opportunities around if you know where to look. These high-quality names offer compelling valuations and plenty of upside potential.

What Are Blackberry's Options After Its Long, Painful Decline?
By Mike Thiessen - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, GOOG
Although it did not come as much of a surprise, Blackberry's (NASDAQ: BBRY) recent announcement that it would explore "strategic alternatives" nevertheless made headlines on both sides of the border. As the darling of Canada's technology industry, Blackberry's slide into irrelevance has been lamented and memorialized thousands of times over. At this point, its very ability to turn itself around on its own has come under serious more »
Finding Profits in Brand Loyalty
By Marie Palumbo - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, KO, GOOG, MSFT
Every long-term investor dreams about investing in companies with durable competitive advantages. However, with over 15,000 companies traded publicly, it can be difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.
In my article, A Formula You Can Profit From, I explain the linkage between pricing power and profit. Having unique selling point is crucial, but sustaining pricing power is complex, and few companies have been able to do it more »
Windows Stores: A Win-Win Development
By Marie Palumbo - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBY, MSFT, WMT
Have you ever been to an Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) store? You walk in, computers are on one wall, tablets on the other, iPhones and iPods in the middle. Every device is functioning and ready to be experienced by curious customers perusing through the non-aisle layout. Apple makes you want its products before you walk in, and it turns out that another company is after the same aura.

Is This Stock "Back"?
By Brian Nichols - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AAPL, BBRY, GOOG
With Carl Icahn's twitter disclosure, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has exploded, and fears of future loss may be a concern of the past. Now, investors turn their attention to past recoveries such as Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Netflix as a guide of what could happen next. However, what's more alarming is what could happen with its competitors.

Apple Drops in China; China Mobile Looms

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has tried to pursue a distribution deal with Chinese telecom operator China Mobile since 2009, but both companies have yet come to an agreement because of conflicting business models. Investors have watched Apple's sales growth in China plunge against low-priced smartphones from local brands this year. A partnership with China Mobile offers Apple a large distribution channel to attract new consumers, while China Mobile can expand more »
Google Is Worth A Lot More

Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is increasingly becoming more dominant. The company is now the leader in not only search but also on online video as well as on Mobile operating systems. Google's out-sized market share in all these categories puts the firm in pole position to grow its top and bottom line for a long-time.

In case you missed it, here's a link to a fanshot I posted yesterday. Hardwood Paroxysm has Graham as the absolute worst rotation player in the NBA and they posted a video with Stevie's highlights.
I think Frenchi is missing on that list.
Anyway, with this fanpost I wanted to know who is considered the worst Net ever among my fellow Nets fans. I added a poll (I didn't include guys who barely played- see Mile Ilic).
Graham has played enough minutes and has been awful enough to be in the mix. I know he makes the vets minimum, but even making that he's still overpaid. I mean how can this guy play in the NBA? Seriously! He shouldn't be in this league even if he paid for it. I know, I know, he's a good guy and works hard. But bottom line is, he is the absolute worst player I have ever seen in the NBA (among players who were given enough playing time). He started in MORE than 1/3 of our games this season! If you told me that after a 12-win season and with all those picks and all that cap space we would end up playing such a bum this much, I would have thought you were crazy.... only in Netsland something like this is possible... The guy is completly useless, I don't know where this myth about him being a good defender is coming from... he is a BAD defender, he constantly gets blown by by quicker players and dude gives up and 1s left and right...
...and on offense he is just awful, and even worse, he is overconfident.
But hey, he is an Avery type of guy (ie, a suck up) so it's all OK!
Outlaw and Yi were absolutely awful, yet they kept on being given plenty of opportunities since they were their coaches' pet projects. I think Outlol's case is worse since he has been around for more years and signed a big contract. Yi was a young player (allegedly, lol) on his rookie scale contract, we were rebuilding and took a chance on his supposed upside... he didn't deserve all those opportunities and was babied to no end tho. Both are one-dimensional players who suck at that only dimension they were supposed to be able to contribute at. Neither can play D, pass the ball, and both are subpar rebounders and have the BBIQ of a frog. You can hope Outlaw turns it around all you want (believe harder!), but as of now he deserves to be on the list after the terrible year he had.
I know some will say where's Bobby Simmons, but as overpaid as he was, at least the guy was decent enough during his first year here, as he finished with one of the best 3 pt shooting percentages in all of basketball that year, and we all knew he was nothing but a cap filler when we took on his contract.
I encourage you to vote!

If for some reason you haven't been paying attention to the first week or so of the NBA regular season, you might not be aware that Kevin Love has arguably been the MVP.
Through the team's first 7 games, he's led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 5-2 record, while averaging 26.9 points, 14.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. If you want another example of just how good he is, the T'Wolves offensive efficiency rating (points per 100 possessions) is 108.1 with Love on the court. With him off the court, it drops to 72.4. (For further reading on Love's dominance, check out Derek James' piece at Hardwood Paroxysm.)
Love is also the only non-point guard in the top 15 of touches per game. (This data – provided by the SportVU cameras – can be found over in the new player tracking section of NBA.com/stats.)
After last night's game he is sixth in the league, averaging 87.7 touches per game. That's more than his own team's point guard, Ricky Rubio, as well as more than Kyrie Irving, Derrick Rose and Tony Parker. He's been so dominant offensively, that he's been getting more touches than some of the best point guards in the league; and their job is to bring the ball up the court! Sure, he plays a few more minutes than some of those guys, but they are supposed to have the ball in their hands nearly every possession.
Anyway, that's enough gushing about Love for right now. I could write hundreds of more words about how awesome Love has been this year. You can see it in the stats, you can see it in the highlights, and you can see it in the Wolves' record.
But something you may not have noticed this year (or throughout Love's career actually) is that Love does most of his work from only one side of the court. Take a look at the shot charts below. The first one is from this year.
As you can see, Love operates primarily on the left side of the court. While most of his shots come at the rim – as is expected with a big man – nearly all of Love's mid-range and three-point attempts come from the left side of court.
Just to make sure this isn't an example of #SmallSampleSizeTheater, I looked at his shot distribution from the three previous years as well. In each case, Love has operated primarily on the left side of the court. In fact, the difference has only grown from year to year, especially behind the three-point line on the left side wing.
In the coming months it should be interesting to keep an eye on Love's production to see if he continues setting up shop on the left side of the court. Based on his previous campaigns, it seems likely that he will.

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Home > Travel Blog > Munich >
Munich is so impeccably connected with everywhere that travelers exploring Europe by train often end up passing through the city more than once. Munich's Hauptbahnhof has direct day trains to tourist hot-spots across Europe, with the station's departure boards featuring Paris and Prague, Berlin and Budapest, Venice and Vienna, Zagreb and Zürich.
So sooner or later, as you criss-cross the continent, you'll end up in Munich.
Exploring the city on foot
It's a great city for a quick overnight stop, and it's easy to catch the flavor of the Bavarian capital–a rather stylish and self-confident place that defies the tired stereotype of Bavarians being chubby-cheeked beer drinkers in Lederhosen. The main station lies just west of the city center and is well placed for exploring the city on foot.
The last time we changed trains in Munich, we had a two-hour layover. So we left our bags in lockers and in a brisk 90-minute walk took in Marienplatz, the new and old town halls, the Residenz and a galaxy of other sights. Munich is eminently walkable and all the better for that. Munich deserves more of course, but it's nice to be able to catch the flavor of a city within the compass of a short walk.
Where to stay
As in so many European cities, decent accommodation in the immediate vicinity of the Hauptbahnhof is not always easy to find. As we remarked in another post last fall, where we reported from Strasbourg, it always pays to explore a block or two beyond the dreary hotels that cluster cheek by jowl around Europe's main railway stations. In Strasbourg it was the Hotel Monopole Métropole that provided the perfect antidote to those uninspiring station hotels, and traveling through Munich last month we found the Hotel Cristal that nicely fitted the bill.
Just one block south of the Hauptbahnhof on Schwanthalerstrasse, the Best Western Hotel Cristal has none of the fussiness that we have encountered elsewhere in Bavaria. Chrome and glass in the bar contrast with a claret and cream theme in the restaurant. Cast around on the regular online booking agencies and you'll find rooms in the €65 to €80 bracket. Make sure at check-in that you are assigned one of the refurbished rooms at the back of the building where the bustle and noise of Schwanthalerstrasse won't bother you.
A taste of Bavaria
The Cristal has one of the smartest foyers of any hotel we've seen, with free access to a stylish tech-cabin for a quick check of e-mail. The foyer is overlooked by a bold mezzanine floor that is all chic minimalism. Most rooms have that same "keep-it-simple" elegance. Simplicity underpins the hotel's unusual minibar policy with a fixed charge of €4.90 that applies whether you have taken a single bottle of mineral water or cleared out the entire fridge.
The hotel's new restaurant is called 1912 and chef Kai Dittrich turns out impressively presented dishes that bring a dash of Mediterranean flair to German regional cuisine. Schnitzel aplenty of course, complemented by duck, salmon and other staples. And, just in case you forget you are in Bavaria, the hotel always includes Weisswurst in its breakfast buffet.
I agree when you say Munich is pretty and worth a shot, but I just don't think it's worth a long trip. I only stayed for a day and found it pretty boring, to be honest. It's cute and all, but I think it lacks substance. Like when you meet a beautiful person who has nothing to say for herself. I found Zurich to be more exciting, to say the least!
But Munich is a benchmark and anyone going close should make a stop. But a brief one.

Albany- If Dougherty County voters approve another sales tax in November, Chehaw park will only get two million dollars, a third of what park leaders wanted. Chehaw Authority members hoped for $6 million to help with the park's master plan.
They're still talking to Jim Fowler about getting his help with the park, but the cut to two million dollars leaves them in a tough position.
"We thought the $6 million would be the beginning, if we could get $3 million from the state in a few years and we raised $1 million then we've got $10 million to do this plan," said Phil Franklin, Chehaw Authority Chairman.
The authority has a contract with the city saying they would get $6 million with the next SPLOST. An attorney told them they could file suit.

Strike looming for East Coast janitors
BOSTON — If contract negotiations fall through, janitors responsible for the cleanliness of several MetroWest-based companies are prepared to strike, according to the Milford Daily News.
The contract for several thousand janitors in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire expires on Sunday, September 30, and union members have authorized a strike if that deadline passes without a new contract, the article stated.
According to the article, in 2002 the janitors went on strike for a four week period and gained nation-wide exposure for their plight.
"Everyone is ready for the strike because everybody needs better jobs and better hours too," said Rafael Cruz, a janitor at Genzyme's headquarters in Framingham and member of the union's negotiating committee.
As of Wednesday, eight Massachusetts unions and Steven Tolman, president of the Massachusetts AFL-CIO, had pledged their support for the janitors union, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 615, which is negotiating for increased hours and better healthcare, the article noted.
How do you feel about janitors or custodians that strike when contract negotiations fall through? Does it set a bad example for the industry as a whole, or do the strikes end up getting the point across and changes made?
