To understand Meg Whitman, the former eBay chief executive who now runs Hewlett-Packard, it's essential to revisit something she did 26 years ago. She had just become a junior partner at Bain Consulting, working for the brilliant but domineering Tom Tierney. One morning Whitman walked into his office, impromptu. The 31-year-old asked her feared boss if he wanted staff feedback about his leadership style; he nodded. With that Whitman grabbed a felt-tip marker and sketched a giant steamroller on a nearby flip board. "This is you, Tom," she explained. "You're too pushy–you're not letting us build consensus leadership."
Tierney was stunned. But he eventually absorbed the message and toned down his stridency. All of Bain benefited. "There was a real courage to her," recalls Tierney. "What she told me was a gift. Even though her feedback was negative and unsolicited, it left me liking Meg more."
Jump ahead to last year, soon after a boardroom uprising brought Whitman to power as HP's chief executive. She stepped into a mess: HP's stock had tumbled 42% in the year before she took office, while operating margins had sunk to just 2.5%. Archrival Dell was gaining ground in the server market, and HP seemed powerless to stop it. When the two computer makers vied for a $350 million server order from Microsoft's Bing search engine team in April 2012, Dell won the job. Familiar story: Bing's previous four face-offs had all gone Dell's way, too.
Whitman refused to shrug off defeat. Within minutes she was on the phone to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, demanding the same candor she once offered Tierney. "Tell me where we came up short," Whitman asked. "Don't sugarcoat it. I'd like to know so that we can do better the next time." Soon afterward Microsoft sent a multipage memo to Whitman, listing nine ways that HP had fumbled its opportunity. "Even if your bid had been price-competitive, you wouldn't have won," a Microsoft lieutenant declared.
For Whitman the memo wasn't an insult; it was a battle plan. She convened a war team of HP's enterprise computing chief, Dave Donatelli; the company's operations chief, John Hinshaw; and supply chain wizard Tony Prophet. Their job: figure out how to make HP more competitive. Match Dell's ability to suggest cost-saving steps that hadn't occurred to Microsoft. Done. Promise to fix software bugs in two days, not four weeks. HP was on it. By summer HP had crafted a far more customer-friendly approach. When Bing bought a further $530 million of servers in January, vindication arrived. This time HP, not Dell, seized the order.
Blunt, folksy and persistent, Meg Whitman is the leader that Hewlett-Packard desperately needs. She's decisive without being abrasive, persuasive without being slick. She's a team builder who knows that turnarounds call for repairing hundreds of small failings rather than betting everything on a miracle cure that might be a mirage. In the words of HP director Marc Andreessen, one of Silicon Valley's top venture capitalists, "She's the best CEO the company has had since its founders."
But fixing the world's biggest tech company–with $120 billion in annual revenue and 330,000 employees–is a herculean task. Bloated by more than 70 acquisitions in the past 15 years, HP isn't just sprawling and stalled out; it may actually be running in reverse. Revenue has been shrinking for most of the past seven quarters. HP's return on capital is a pitiful 7% over the past five years. (By comparison, IBM is at 29%, and even Dell, which has its own troubles, is at 24%.) HP is still profitable before its enormous asset writedowns, but with its stock trading at a feeble price/earnings multiple of six, one major investor suggests HP can't totally shake the fear that it might go to zero.
Too gruesome for Whitman's tastes? Guess again. "Problems are good, as long as you solve them quickly," says Whitman over a Cobb salad lunch at HP's facilities, now chockablock with posters of Whitman's favorite sayings, including this aphorism: "Run to the fire; don't hide from it." "Meg thrives on these sorts of challenges," says Howard Schultz, the Starbucks CEO and a longtime friend who has known her since their time together on the eBay board.
When Whitman took command 20 months ago, following her own hiccup–a personally expensive thumping in the 2010 election for governor of California–she walked into a company that had squeezed out its previous four CEOs. In 1999 genial insider Lew Platt didn't deliver enough sizzle, charismatic marketer Carly Fiorina couldn't hit earnings targets in 2005, and hard-nosed numbers guy Mark Hurd got tangled up in an expense-account scandal in 2010. Whitman's immediate predecessor, aloof European import Leo Apotheker, lasted just 11 months. His undoing: ill-advised strategic thrusts that sent HP's stock crashing.
Nobody on HP's board wanted the hazards of trying to pick and train another total outsider. Internal candidates were scarce. So in August 2011, as Apotheker's stormy tenure neared its end, directors began to coalesce around Whitman as their best choice. She had been a successful Silicon Valley CEO. She had joined the HP board in January 2011 and was well aware of the company's challenges. And with Jerry Brown ensconced in the governor's mansion in Sacramento, she was available for a new full-time job.
One problem: Whitman didn't want the gig. She told HP directors Raj Gupta and Andreessen that she would be busy enough with board work, private equity and perhaps an appointed political post. "I'm done running companies," she told one board member. But on a private-jet flight back to the Bay Area after an HP board meeting, other directors began lobbying her. They invoked HP's extraordinary heritage as Silicon Valley's first garage startup, begun in 1939 by engineers Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. They talked about how important HP was to the California economy and as a global symbol of innovation.
"Suddenly the conversation changed to what she might do if she took the job," Andreessen recalls. "I saw this twinkle in her eye. And I said to myself: 'I think we got her.' "
THE TECH SECTOR, Whitman well knows, is unusually stingy with second chances. Fall behind and you die. The two great exceptions date back to the 1990s: Steve Jobs' resurrection of Apple and Lou Gerstner's transformation of IBM. Asked about those templates, the 56-year-old Whitman quickly rules out a Jobs comparison. "Steve was the business genius of our generation," she says. "It's hard for anyone to emulate him." Besides, no magical iPod or iPhone beckons in HP's future. The Gerstner turnaround, by contrast, "is probably more relevant," she says.
Like the outsider who got Big Blue back on track, Whitman started her first board meeting as CEO in October 2011 by declaring: "Rule number one is to fix what we have." She reversed Apotheker's plans to sell off the PC business at what would have likely been a fire-sale price. She believed that business could be fixed, especially if it focused harder on the booming market for tablets and other mobile devices. And she stuck with Apotheker's proposed purchase of British software company Autonomy for $11 billion, which backfired.
To keep things simple, Whitman has arranged HP into two clusters. One grouping aims at corporate tech customers, led by Donatelli's enterprise hardware shop. Its servers, storage and networking delivered 43% of overall operating profits in the most recent quarter. In theory all this iron and silicon should be buttressed by adjoining software and services divisions. But when it comes to software acquisitions, Autonomy was merely the most high-profit misstep. All told, over the past decade HP squandered nearly $19 billion to buy myriad outfits that contribute only 7% to overall profit. The services unit, which staffs other companies' tech projects, is barely at break-even. It is trying to rebuild after an $8 billion write-down last August.
HP's other cluster sells printers, PCs, laptops and mobile devices, chiefly to consumers worldwide. Unfortunately for Whitman, the days of being able to rely on the lucrative printer business for outsize profits are over. (In 2002 printing actually contributed 104% of HP's total operating profits because everything else was below break-even; today that contribution is only 29%.) Corporations still buy lots of printers and ink, but consumers' appetites have dimmed. The likes of Google, Facebook and Dropbox have facilitated a burgeoning era of ink-free photo- and document-sharing.
To get both of HP's legacy businesses moving, Whitman started by overhauling how the company sells. Internal surveys showed that HP's more than 20,000 salespeople rated their own in-house sales tools at about a 7–on a scale of 1 to 100. It took HP as long as three weeks to work up a price quote on a complex order. Competitors could do the same in a few days. Many customers chafed. Others just looked elsewhere. When Whitman's operations chief, John Hinshaw, recommended yanking out Oracle's aging Siebel sales software in favor of new salesforce.com tools, she gave him the go-ahead to get the company converted as fast as possible. HP's price-quote queue has shrunk 75%, while those internal metrics have soared into the 70s. Sellers' ulcers are gone, and customer rapport is on the mend.
Along with timelier terms, HP's customers need reassurance that the company knows what it it's doing. At the end of the Apotheker era, "We were quite concerned that HP wasn't well glued together," recalls Dana Deasy, group chief information officer at oil giant BP.
So Whitman hit the road. In the past year she has held a staggering 305 one-on-one meetings with customers or sales-channel partners, aides say, as well as another 42 roundtable chats with small groups. A peek at her calendar the past 60 days shows trips to Munich, London, Brazil, India, New York and Bentonville, Ark., the home of Wal-Mart. "She's made herself more available than her predecessor ever did," says Chris Case, president of Sequel Data Systems in Austin, Tex.
Jim Fortner, an IT executive at Procter & Gamble, says he quizzed Whitman at length last year about HP's personal computer strategy. He was relieved to get consistent answers. "That's important for us," Fortner says. "We buy a lot of PCs." BP's Deasy says that during one of Whitman's London visits, he griped about an HP software installation that wasn't happening on time. She made some calls and discovered a fractured team that didn't hold anyone accountable for speedy delivery. The project, Deasy reports, is now back on track.
AS BAIN'S TOM TIERNEY LEARNED the hard way, Meg Whitman is fond of making her points graphically. As I push her on HP's long-term challenge–how to get her company's growth engines firing again–she reflexively grabs a sheet of paper. "You've got to start launching new products when your existing ones are still growing," she says. "It is not helpful to start a new product here," as she points to the downward slope of a sales curve that crested too long ago. The result, Whitman says, "is that we've got acorns when we need oak trees." She can't make up ground through acquisitions: The stock is too cheap, Wall Street too hostile given the spendthrift track record, and HP is trying to reduce last year's $5.8 billion operating company debt to zero.
Instead, Whitman needs to heap fertilizer onto those acorns–fast. Products with the most promise include Moonshot servers, which are small, energy-efficient and flexible; 3PAR storage devices, which can go up and down in size without busting budgets; and its inkjet office printers, which match the speed and quality of laser printers at a much lower cost. But even in these areas it's tough to see marginal revenue growth outpacing the sales deterioration of tired old products.
The acorn/oak tree problem is especially acute in the fast-growing tablet market. HP should dominate, in the same way that it has become the world's biggest maker of PCs and laptops. But HP's tablet strategy for years has been a baffling mix of launches and retreats, culminating with Apotheker's August 2011 decision to kill the TouchPad model introduced just seven weeks earlier.
Belatedly, HP has jumped back into the hunt. Since February new models have been streaming into the market, most notably the Slate 7, priced at $169–less than Amazon's Kindle Fire HD. More machines are about to hit the market, and tech reviewers have generally liked HP's efforts so far. Still, once market leaders are set, it's very hard to barrel past them.
HP faces a similar challenge in the server market. Its industry-standard machines, based on Intel chip designs, have been big sellers since the early '90s. But cutting-edge customers like Google and Rackspace now prefer to build their own servers, arranging parts in the most optimal way for their needs. The new Moonshot server line is attracting interest from banks and energy companies, which like its compact design and ability to run many different types of microprocessors. But the data-crunching tech giants, which buy more servers than anyone, may be gone for good as HP customers.
Previous CEOs hoped that big ad campaigns would make HP seem cool again. Whitman's brand messaging, centered on the motto "Make It Matter," seems most likely to bolster the spirits of HP's workforce. For wooing the public at large she is taking a page out of Jobs' playbook. "Look at Apple," says Whitman, referring to its design. "Or look at websites like Zaarly, Path or One Kings Lane. When I got involved in the Internet in the 1990s, websites weren't beautiful. Now they are. Design is a differentiating characteristic in our markets. We need to take advantage of that."
So HP now has an overall vice president for design, Stacy Wolff, who oversees a fast-growing 40-person team of recruits from the likes of BMW, Nokia and Frog Design. A big-screen new all-in-one PC has a nifty hinge that holds its tilt at any viewing angle; power buttons on PCs and printers now glow the same pure white; even perforated cooling grilles look sleeker yet more friendly. It's not quite Apple-elegant, but it no longer looks like metal shop either.
WHITMAN, a Harvard M.B.A. with an economics degree from Princeton, might not have engineering chops or her name on any patents, but unlike HP's previous three CEOs, she is Silicon Valley informal through and through. When she joined eBay in 1998, the then-tiny auction company was defined by the sweet, New Age-ish values of the company's founder, Pierre Omidyar: Change the world, have fun, believe that most people are good. Whitman figured out how to combine his vision with big-league business practices that let eBay enjoy sustainable hypergrowth. She worked marathon hours at one stage, rebuilding eBay's technical team until the site could handle booming traffic without crashing. But she also embraced the jokey, college-dorm atmosphere of an ambitious startup, filling her desk with goofy eBay auction items and dressing up as a witch one Halloween.
So the new HP attitude starts at the front door of its low-slung Palo Alto headquarters. Whitman dumped the barbed wire and locked gates that once separated executive parking spaces from the general lot. "We should enter the building the same way everyone else does," she says. Once inside, Whitman works from a small, sand-colored cubicle. (Her predecessors' somber office has been turned into a conference room.) Whitman has a swim cap tacked to one partition, a picture of her mom on another. A Thomas Jefferson biography tops the heap of books next to her computer. Management tracts reside in the middle, treatises on cloud computing on the bottom. On the road she often settles for a $139 room at the Courtyard Marriott, despite the fact that she's worth $1.9 billion. "You check in at 10 p.m., and you're out of there at 7 the next morning," she shrugs. "It's not like you're moving in for a week." It's also a painless and visible way to lead by example.
But her tough, hands-on streak, often displayed at eBay and bolstered by two years of taking and throwing vicious political haymakers, comes through when things go wrong. Her printing team's weak explanation, in a three-hour meeting, of why that business kept falling short of financial goals quickly led to two marathon brainstorming sessions, where she focused on hard-to-spot bad habits like excessive use of rebates. By the time Whitman was done the printing team had a new cap on rebates –and a new division boss to enforce it.
And Whitman has picked a fiercer fight against Autonomy's original management team. Last November HP took an $8.8 billion charge in connection with that purchase, blaming the setback on "serious accounting improprieties" in Autonomy's books at the time of sale. Autonomy founder Mike Lynch instantly disputed that claim, blaming HP instead for poorly managing its new acquisition. He declined to comment for this story.
Ongoing arguments have kept the Autonomy mess in the news, but as HP presses authorities in the U.S. and U.K. to investigate fraud claims, its willingness to fight sits a lot better with employees than watching top management shrug off another blunder in hope it fades from memory. Almost 80% of HP employees at Glassdoor.com, a website packed with anonymous feedback on thousands of companies, say that they have confidence in Whitman, placing her in a tie with IBM's Virginia Rometty and slightly ahead of corporate stalwarts such as Cisco's John Chambers (76% ).
Whitman has more work to do to win over Wall Street. She warned investors and her board early on that getting giant HP back on track would be a five-year job, defining 2013 as a "fix and rebuild" year, with no assurances of sustained growth until 2014. When fiscal first-quarter results topped analysts' scaled-down expectations, she spoke of "a long road ahead."
If Whitman can lift the doomsday anxiety, HP's shares could roar ahead. "Meg and the team are delivering everything they said they would," says Pat Russo, an HP director and the former CEO of Alcatel-Lucent. "We are committed to her." Adds fellow director Raj Gupta, the former CEO of Rohm & Haas: "As long as she's enjoying it and the company is on track, the board would like to see her stay as long as she wants."
Whitman is beyond financial motivation. She's playing for legacy: "There's quite a bit of pride in being part of something that means so much to the Valley and to this country. It's a nice company. Nice people. And I think we're going to turn this."

Note: We are currently taking a break and have taken the shopping cart Add To Cart buttons down to temporarily prevent orders. If you are an international customer visiting the USA during our break, please send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will take care of your order; we do not want you to miss your chance for easy shipping and we are happy to time shipping to a hotel while you are here. Also, if you need something for a gift or you are a signature scent customer and are running low, we will take your order during the break. We will be back to take all other orders after the break (this fall), and you can follow updates on our blog in the meantime. We have left the scent descriptions and prices up so you can browse (see links and drop-down menus below). Thank you!
The mixed media collection includes scents created with beautiful natural ingredients complemented by carefully selected synthetics to achieve effects not possible with naturals alone. Concentration of most is extrait at 20-24% fragrance. Prices vary with the cost of ingredients used. To make it easier to find your favorites, this collection is divided into two groups: non-florals and florals (though there is some overlap -- for example, the woodsy musky notes in Wood Violet are as important as the floral notes). Click scent names to see full descriptions or hover over the names to see notes lists. Click the bottle sizes to see pictures of the bottles.
A new collection in progress, made with 100% natural ingredients in a base of natural organic alcohol or organic oil. The alcohol-based perfumes are eau de parfum concentration. These perfumes are for people who enjoy softer scents that stay closer to the skin than mixed media scents but that highlight gorgeous natural materials in their purest forms. The collection will grow over time; the first three scents are listed below. Hover cursor over the scent names to see notes lists, or click scent names for full descriptions (full descriptions will be added as each scent is completed). Amber Incense is not ready but will be coming in the future.
As noted in the red paragraph at the top of the page, we are temporarily closed until later this fall.
These fragrances are not currently part of the regular scent menu but can sometimes be ordered by request, usually with a slight time delay. Minimum order is 17-34 ml. Email your request and we can let you know if/when it is possible. Once the order is set up, we can send you a PayPal invoice. Samples of these scents are usually available as your free choice with an order if you want to sample one (please list a second choice just in case we are out).

BRISBANE, Australia, Aug. 24 (UPI) — Tongan immigrants gathered Tuesday outside a house gutted by fire in northeastern Australia to mourn the 11 people who died there.
The blaze in the Brisbane suburb of Slacks Creek was believed to have been set off by four gas bottles exploding, The Courier-Mail of Brisbane reported. The fire spread quickly through the two-story house, with only three men escaping the flames.
The fire was the deadliest in Australia since 2000, when 15 people were killed in an arson fire at a backpackers' hostel in Childers, Queensland.
One man, Jeremiah Lale, threw a mattress out of the window and jumped, screaming at his wife and five children to follow, witnesses said. The men who got out made desperate attempts to fight the flames and rescue those still inside.
Eight of the victims, believed to be mostly members of one extended family, were children and teenagers. Logan Mayor Pam Parker said some of those in the house were believed to be recent arrivals in Australia, staying with relatives until they got on their feet.
Religious leaders led an informal service early Tuesday afternoon, praying in English and Tongan, and leading hundreds of people outside the house in hymns.
One leader asked an unanswerable question: "What have we done to deserve this, Lord?"
"There's nothing we can do, nothing we can say," he added. "We just pray that you give us the strength to face tomorrow with all of this grief."

Bruce and Kris Jenner aren't completely out of each other's hair after officially separating in October ... in fact, the two met up for some smoochie time over Thanksgiving weekend ... and Bruce ponied up big time.
As we reported, Bruce and Kris announced they were living in separate homes (Bruce in Malibu and Kris in Calabasas) and they're both happier that way. But they still came together for Thanksgiving.
The photo was snapped Friday after Bruce, Kris, Kris' mom, Kourtney, and Bruce's ponytail all took in a movie at the theater in Calabasas. When they parted ways, Kris gave Bruce a parting kiss on the cheek.
Talk about an amicable split.
Who is the chick in the white hat Kris is making out with? And where is Bruce Jenner?
Two old ass dried up prunes... nothing to see here.
Pauly D got in fist fights right on TV in the bars on Jersey Shore. That is how people act there. Now he is going to act all high and mighty and above that behavior because he is a big celebrity now. I don't think that is right.
I don't know what people wan this girl to say about that. The charges were dismissed and the case is over. You can tell that she is a fighter though. Pauly thinks it will be easy as taking candy from a baby to take away this baby from her mother. I don't really think so.
She could probably tear him up in court for all of the things he has done in his past. He thinks he is going to waltz in like a pope and claim moral superiority so he can take the kid away forever. I am sure he has slept with way more people than she has, and he has done it on TV no less.
He really needs to get over himself before it is too late.
FASHIONISTAS without any clues...
He would look so much better if he only had a ponytail.
All of their taste is in their MOUTHS
PR piece to stay in the news.
Their xmas card or what ever you call it didn't gain any news traction so they pay for this and other PR piece's.
Just like Kris first saying she hated the Kanye video then she liked it cause Kim looked so good.
That was a change because no one said Kim looked good. And because it was stated by the editor of the video that the body in the video was a digital one and not Kim's body.
How sick are the Kardashian's that they try and pay for PR pieces when a real A list celeb Paul Walker just died.
But the Kardashian's will keep paying for PR pieces in TMZ (ones like Kim looks so good) but don't allow comments and do it on a Friday the end of the week news cycle so it stays on TMZ all weekend.
The Truth Hurts
please tell me he didn't
Bruce really needs to stop doing that ponytail thing.
Let the rest of your family be trash, bro. You were an Olympian for crying out loud.
Body language. Both have a hand in pocket. For cameras only. Move on.
Kris Jenner: Can your smile be more FAKE?
Dudette is having a serious mid-life crisis! I guess money can't buy pretty!
It must have killed the Kartrashian family to not be in the lime light here on TMZ for the last couple of days. Hence this story. They must have contacted Harvey and told him he is not living up to his end of their PR deal, all these Paul Walker tag lines keeping the Trashians from the front page must be killing their egos.
That is the classiest moo moo dress I have ever seen. Was that designed by Khloe?
Bruce was spotted on Zuma Beach early Sunday morning. He was wearing sweats and carrying a metal detector. Looked kinda sad and pathetic.

Yougetitbacks secures US patent for mobile device loss detection and recovery
Company enables insurance and warranty providers to bundle advanced mobile device technologies that protect the device and the data
Recognising the achievement, Mr.Sean Kelly, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Ireland South, and leading proponent of data safety, said today: "With so much personal and business information being saved on mobile devices, the risk of that information falling into the wrong hands, is real and present. It impacts on consumers, businesses and on our society in general, and it needs to be addressed in legislative forums, and on the devices themselves. I am very pleased that Yougetitback has taken on this challenge so comprehensively. It is an endorsement of the management team's innovation and thought leadership, that the company is growing strongly, as there is a clear need for consumers and large organizations to be better protected, in this challenging environment."
Mr.Sean Kelly, MEP will visit Yougetitback's R&D and administrative headquarters in Cork, on today, Monday, July 23rd, to congratulate the executive and development teams, on winning this patent, discuss the broader issues of data protection and learn of the company's continued recruitment plans in Cork.

The exterior of St. Joseph Monastery Church. (Kim Hairston, Baltimore Sun photo, 2014)
Southwest Baltimore Roman Catholics are saddened this Lent and Palm Sunday as they consider the news that the Passionist Fathers will be leaving their neighborhood.
In a letter sent to members of the Irvington parish earlier this year, the Very Rev. Robert Joerger, the provincial of the Passionists, said that it was his difficult duty to say that the members of his order would "no longer shepherd" St. Joseph's Passionist Monastery, a landmark at Old Frederick Road and Monastery Avenue.
After meeting with officials of Baltimore Archdiocese, the Passionists set a June 30 departure date. Archbishop William E. Lori will preside at a Palm Sunday Mass Sunday at 11 a.m. at the monastery church, one of a cluster of ecclesiastical structures, past and present, that have served the neighborhood since the 1860s. It is quite a legacy and a testament to faith.
On a recent Sunday, some 313 people attended Masses and gave $4,044, according to a church bulletin. The parish is to be operated after June by the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
Father Joerger reflected on the advanced age of so many members of his religious order, as well as the declining numbers of that order, in the decision to leave Baltimore for other places.
Those not familiar with Roman Catholicism could be confused with its religious orders. Here in Baltimore, we have Jesuits, Benedictines, Franciscans, Josephites, Redemptorists, Sulpicians, to name some. They arrived early. The Sulpician Fathers have owned the same property continuously on Paca Street in Seton Hill since 1791. The Jesuits arrived in Southern Maryland in 1634.
These orders put down deep roots. They also built substantial urban compounds that included rectories, convents, schools and auditoriums.
In 1968, Father Jeremiah plays "Hello Dolly" on the piano as the rector, Father Flavian, enjoys an after-dinner smoke in the priests' old residence. (Ellis J. Malashuk, Baltimore Sun file photo, 1968)
At this time of the year, nearly 45 years ago, placards advertised "Veronica's Veil," a Passion play staged in Whiteford Hall, part of the Passionist Monastery's campus. It was something of a Lent and Holy Week pilgrimage to visit Irvington for this religious spectacle.
The Passionists, a global order that proclaims that God's love is revealed through Jesus' suffering and death, formed a special bond with Southwest Baltimore and its Irvington community shortly after the Civil War. The priests kept detailed records. The first entry in their log shows they had heard that Gen. Robert E. Lee had surrendered to Gen. Ulysses Grant at Appomattox.
"The entry said that fathers had been careful to remain neutral because feelings ran high on both sides of the war in this part of what was Baltimore County," said Fred Schneider, a former member of the Passionists and former monastery pastor who remains active in the parish though he is no longer a priest.
The order of priests and brothers came to Baltimore and established their monastery in the city's western suburbs.
They found a ready benefactor in Emily McTavish, a granddaughter of Charles Carroll of Carrollton. She gave the priests some of her ancestral land, which the order sold to buy larger grounds. Soon a stone monastery, made from granite quarried locally, rose.
There was no shortage of priests when the Passionists became chaplains to nearby Mount St. Joseph's High School, the Visitation Nuns at Mount DeSales in Catonsville, the Good Shepherd Sisters and Bon Secours and Mount St. Agnes hospitals. Legend has it that Passionist priest Father Sylvan Brennan nearly converted H.L. Mencken while he was a Bon Secours patient.
About 25 years ago the order closed its actual monastery building (as late as 1968 some 40 priests resided here) although it kept a separate, richly decorated parish church, also named monastery, open and staffed.
Old-timers in the neighborhood recall when there were dozens of priests and brothers living within the walls of this religious enclosure. In pre-air-conditioning era, when people slept with their windows wide open on a hot summer night, Irvington residents would hear the sound of the Divine Office being sung in Gregorian chant daily at 2 a.m.

Has anyone experienced major itching on the bottom of your feet. Started after mtx. Dont know if it may have to do with mtx or ra.
Hello, I just posted the question about itchy scalp. It's crazy! I itch and itch and want to gouge my scalp in. I thought I had a bad case of dandruff, but there isn't a flake on my scalp! Plus my face gets itchy and I don't have any rash that I can see, no hives or bumps. I almost feel like it's in my head. I just started my Mtx 2 wks ago and this started about a week ago, so not sure if it's related or not.
If you discover what the problem is or a cure, please post it.
Thanks and Good Luck!

The Reuters global sports blog
Euroleague Final Four puts on a mighty show
The superb quality of last weekend's Euroleague Final Four delighted basketball fans across the continent, not least those those fortunate enough to see the action live in Berlin's O2 Arena.
The overall entertainment, garnished with the eternal rivalry between Greek arch enemies Panathinaikos Athens and Olympiakos Piraeus, was every bit as eye-catching as the recent
NCAA Final Four in Detroit.
In the end, Panathinaikos deservedly won their fifth Euroleague title after edging old foes and 2008 champions CSKA Moscow in the final, following an equally dramatic win over Olympiakos in the semis (click here to read our full report from Berlin).
CSKA and their star-studded outfit were hot favourites to retain the title, but a poor first half cost them dearly, although they almost produced one of the greatest comebacks in the tournament's history.
Panathinaikos and their trophy-laden Serbian coach Zeljko Obradovic, who won a record seventh European Champions Cup with four different teams, erupted in joy with a visible sense of
relief after they nearly threw away a 23-point lead, as CSKA forward Ramunas Siskauskas came agonisingly close to burying a last-gasp, off-balance three-pointer.
Obradovic must be one of the most successful coaches in any sport at this level.
He who won his first premier European club trophy with Partizan Belgrade in 1992, repeated the
feat with Spanish outfits Joventut Badalona and Real Madrid before capturing an impressive haul of silverware with Panathinaikos after he took over in 1999.
The Greek giants have won eight national championships, six national cups and four Euroleague titles under Obradovic.
Good job he's shown no interest in going to the NBA (not that he'd be welcome after comments like these).

The proposed building is 23,300 sq ft. I've gone through a couple lists of major retailers to try and get an idea of who it may be. I don't know what store has 6ft tall signs and searching Google didn't bring much help. When I have more time tomorrow I'll probably try to search in-depth, but I do have a small list of "No" and "Maybe" already.

2012 Local History Smackdown
Contact: Brian Hoduski, (906) 483-3026
Fourth Thursday in History:
10th Annual High School Local History Smackdown Approaches
History buffs: it's time to get ready for the 10th Annual High School Local History Smackdown!
This competition offers teams of Copper Country high school students the opportunity to test their knowledge of the history, geography, and geology of Keweenaw, Baraga, Ontonagon, and Houghton counties. Its format is similar to a spelling bee: teams of four players are asked short-answer questions about local history topics, which increase in difficulty as the rounds go higher. The contest features a double-elimination format: two wrong answers and teams are out of play; teams are given the chance to pass on one question. Preparation can be formal or informal, but those that invest time in advance may proceed farther in the competition. However, those who simply want to be a part of a fun night of local history are still encouraged to participate.
All high-school age contestants are welcome to form their own teams independent of school sponsorship; church groups, scouting groups or other youth groups are also welcome to participate. The registration deadline is March 29, 2012, so assemble a team and start planning where to display the Smackdown trophy!
The event will take place at the Calumet Theatre in Calumet at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, 2012. It is part of the "Fourth Thursday in History" series sponsored by Keweenaw National Historical Park. For further information and to register teams contact Brian Hoduski at (906) 483-3026 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Registration information and other details about the event will also be available at www.nps.gov/kewe under Special Events.

This past week is exactly what Astros fans have been waiting for the last few months. Obviously the big news of the week was the acquisition of Dexter Fowler, but there is a lot more to be excited about.
Astros GM Jeff Luhnow has been talking to the media lately and had some interesting things to say regarding the next few weeks. Luhnow spoke with the Houston Chronicle and also was on SportsTalk790 for an hour-long radio appearance on Astroline which is hosted by Milo Hamilton. Here's what Luhnow had to say to Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle.
We have several conversations ongoing both regarding trades as well as signings. I just feel like there's less of an, 'OK, let's wait 'til we get to the winter meetings,' than there has been in the past. It's part due to the fact that tonight, even, we're still getting some signings reported. I think there's less of that mentality — 'Oh, we're only a few days away, why don't we wait and shelve it 'til we get there?' Conversations are ongoing. I feel good — things can change from one moment to the next — but I feel good that we're going to be in position to be able to do another transaction. Whether it's before or during the winter meetings, or maybe multiple (transactions).
It seems clear the Astros will be making one, if not several moves over the course of the next week or two.
Besides the potential moves next week, Luhnow also spoke a bit about certain prospect. Luhnow was asked about some underrated prospects and the first name mentioned was Rudy Owens. "I think this is a guy, left-handed guy who could be in our rotation, could be in our bullpen next year. And he's a name that nobody knows about because he really didn't get much notoriety last year," Luhnow said. Luhnow also mentioned that he was likely in line to be the next SP called up, but his foot injury ended his season early.
Another two top prospects, Carlos Correa and Mark Appel, were also brought up in the conversation. Luhnow said that both prospects should see significant time in Corpus Christi, the Astros Double-A affiliate. If true, it wouldn't shock me to see those two prospects in Houston sometime in 2015.
For now, we wait and see as the Winter Meetings are next week. The Rule 5 draft will take place on Thursday, and the Astros will likely use the pick on a player, or potentially trade the pick. Whatever the case may be, expect some exciting action over the course of the next week.

Seniors on the Go: Watch out for 'grey' credit card charges
Do you ever notice a few charges on your credit card statement and you can't figure out why? If you haven't, you're lucky: According to a recent report from BillGuard, about a third of all credit and debit card holders report grey charges -- and probably lots more don't report them because they haven't noticed them. Typically grey charges are small amounts, averaging a total of $61, but they add up to a total $14 billion a year. Grey charges are not strictly a travel problem, but because credit cards are so central to travel, this warning is especially useful. The BillGuard report cites 11 different types of grey charges.
Aggregate "free-to-pay" charges account for close to half of the total. "Free to pay" means charges for goods and services that were "free" when you first got them but automatically switch to a paid status after an introductory period. Typically, the switch to pay status may be poorly disclosed at the time of purchase; the seller starts billing you without notifying you of the change in status of your account; and the seller provides no information about how to cancel the transaction. Several other grey charges are closely related:
-- "Unwanted auto-renewal fees" you get when you sign up for something (cell phone international roaming feature, anyone?) for a set period that the seller keeps renewing without asking you. Some travel-program "membership fees" do the same.
-- "Zombie" fees and "membership fees" for some service that keeps billing you even after you think you've canceled.
- "Phantom" grey charges are among the most pernicious: Those are the charges you encounter when you buy something from a supplier and receive some additional service you didn't specifically order. Those charges were in second place.
- "Hidden fee" is another basic category -- and one well known to travelers. Although airline fees are no longer hidden, hotels still stick us with "resort fees" that they don't include on their initial price display. A reader recently reported an unexpected fee of about $45 for a "premium station" surcharge on a European car rental that was charged separately at the end of the rental and not disclosed by the agent on a phone reservation. This one was pretty easy to spot on the credit card statement, but not all such hidden fees show up with specific identification. Given the importance of online side-by-side price comparisons, you can expect the problem of hidden add-on fees to become worse, not better.
If you aren't careful, these fees can amount to some big bucks. BillGuard reported that about one third of cardholders in its sample paid $100 or more in grey fees during 2012, and almost one in 10 paid more than $500.
The obvious next question, of course, is, "How can I avoid grey charge scams?" The primary answer is equally obvious:
-- Scan your billing statements carefully and investigate any you either can't recognize or cover services or products you thought you'd canceled. I've seen enough grey charges that I routinely look for details on any charge I don't recognize.
-- Check with anyone else on your account who may have ordered something without telling you. Beyond that, you can often find out through the detailed transaction record; in other cases, you may have to Google whatever identification is posted. And if that doesn't work, call the card issuer and ask.
-- Look for charges for something you think you've canceled, and follow up with the seller. If that doesn't work, dispute the charge with your card issuer.
BillGuard has a vested interest in all this: It offers a free iPhone app that scans your accounts, uses its user base to help identify problem charges and automatically links to a questionable merchant to start resolving the problem. Check it out at billguard.com/; unfortunately for those without iPhones, it doesn't yet offer a program for other smart devices.

Mets Trades From The Past: Bernard Gilkey
When discussing the outstanding trades the Mets have made over the years, the acquisition of Bernard Gilkey from the Cardinals is usually forgotten. In part, this could be because Gilkey really had only one good year for the Mets – although it was a terrific one, and also because even with Gilkey, the 1996 Mets weren't a very good team. Yet, Gilkey remains possibly the only...

by: Grado
Out Of Stock - $ 49.00
Unique Grado Labs iGrado 'neckband' headphone makes a dandy upgrade for portable audio players and improves sound quality versus stock earbuds. Delivering good bass and clear tone, your ears will thank you as the iGrado rounds out any harshness lurking in your iTunes files or MP3 player. The 'behind the head' design is comfortable and ideal for exercisers, hat-wearers or just to avoid mussing up your coif. Vented open-back earpieces allow you to remain aware of surroundings while listening, a big plus on hectic city streets.
Grado products can only ship within USA due to manufacturer restrictions!
Product Features:
What's In The Box:
Renowned for their cool looks and lively rock 'n' roll sound, buzz is all agog about Brooklyn's audiophile Grado Labs joining with hipster street culture to create the portable iGrado headphone. Featuring a non-adjustable 'neckband' (behind the neck) headband and efficient impedance ratings, the Grado 'iGrado' are awesome for listening on the fly to iPod, iPad, MP3 players or laptop computers. These have a smoother signature sound than most other Grado cans with clean highs and good bass response given the audio limitations of the neckband behind-the-head construction. The iGrado have become darlings of headphone hobbyists who've devised ingenious 'improvements' to this unassuming little headphone, such as modifying the internal foam earpads or re-cabling the cord, resulting in improved clarity. Perhaps a tiny quibble is the solid plastic non-adjustable neckband that -- like other products in this 'neckband' category -- could become a bit uncomfortable for some wearers depending on the geometry of their particular noggin..
The Grado iGrado are 'open-back' earcup (NO noise-blocking!) cans with a one-piece plastic headband that loops around the back of the neck. It's a very stable, secure fit and perfect for fast-paced exercisers, movers and shakers...or if you just don't want to muss up your lovely hairdo. The Grado iGrado earpieces are lightly padded with a thin foam material shielding the speaker elements next to the ear. Although it may appear to the naked eye like the earpieces would be able to rotate for fit adjustments, they are actually permanently fixed earcups attached to the neckband. This limits how widely useful the iGrado are for big-head types (like some of our HeadRoom crew!). The impedance rating of the iGrado is 32 Ohms -- like most other Grado headphones -- and the claimed frequency response range is a very respectable 20-20000Hz. The iGrado portable headphones feature an 120-day manufacturer's warranty supported exclusively by Grado Labs located in Brooklyn NY USA.

Business plan winner values the process of learning
Michael Partee recently had one of those experiences that lend credence to the thought that it is often the journey – rather than the destination – that yields the most reward.
Partee, the owner of M.B. Partee's Gourmet Pecans, recently emerged the winner of the best business plan grant competition sponsored by Deidre Malone and The Carter Malone Group LLC. After a thorough review by a panel of professionals, Partee came out on top of the grading process. He netted money to invest into his business and a new perspective on what it takes to run one.
"I'd like to think that I learned more about my business through the process of writing this business plan than I they learned from reviewing it," said Partee. "Through their symposium, I was able to truly look at my business and identify strengths and weaknesses that will affect its success long-term. ...This was a great learning experience."
