Design ideas with coffee tables
UK coffee tables have lately gone beyond the pale when it comes to new, trendy designs. Black or white, round tables, with ornate scrollwork have become popular because they can be used outside of the traditional living room design. They just cry out for setting up intimate conversation areas within a space, instead of one space only. Other alternative designs include small, square tables, made out of exotic materials like mango and sheesham, fill the need for attractive groupings in large spaces, like lofts.
Coffee tables make an impact on the family dynamic, providing a space where needed items could be stored and displayed, keeping everything at your fingertips. When a designer thinks of living rooms, the first thing that comes to mind is often this wondrous table, and for very good reasons.

From Daily Variety:
Globes more in line than in year's past
Award Season Focus: The Actor & The Actress
The annual eruption of critical snark set off by the announcement of the Golden Globes nominations is usually followed by a sheepish admission: Many of the choices were in line with what was expected.
In fact, the outlier may be Oscar. In several celebrated instances in recent years, it has been the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn., and not the Academy, that has hewed closer to the critical consensus. Last year, the HFPA picked "The Social Network" as best drama — as had the L.A., N.Y., London, Chicago and Boston critics, the National Board of Review, the National Society of Film Critics and a litany of other orgs. The Oscar went to "The King's Speech." In 2007, when the Academy went for "Crash," the Globes picked "Brokeback Mountain," as had many others.
This season, there's no obvious one-on-one "Social"/"King" face-off, but the reaction has been respectful.
"I actually think the HFPA acquitted themselves quite nicely this year," says Entertainment Weekly's Dave Karger of the HFPA's selections, echoing much of the response to a selection one studio publicist calls predictably "eccentric and starry," but which largely reflected choices made elsewhere in the run-up to Oscar madness.
Those selections included motion picture drama noms for some very obvious suspects — including "The Descendants," "The Help" and "Hugo" — as well as lots of love for "The Ides of March" and a well-timed assist for what may be the year's comedy showcase, "Bridesmaids."
History being what it is, however, the Globes choices are forever scrutinized for favoring studio, and not indie, fare; an aversion to anything remotely provocative or controversial ("The Tree of Life," "Melancholia") and a propensity toward nominating both films and actors that provide plenty of star power.
"I know some people are suspicious of the Angelina Jolie nomination for foreign film, but the fact is that her movie is getting strong reviews," Karger says of the Jolie-directed "In the Land of Blood and Honey." "It's much less embarrassing than giving her and Johnny Depp lead-acting nominations for 'The Tourist' last year.
"Also, I'm a huge 'Ides of March' fan so I'm happy with George Clooney getting a slot for best director. I fully expected them to nominate Mel Gibson for 'The Beaver' or Ashton Kutcher for 'Two and a Half Men' just for the attention, but they clearly resisted the urge."
Says one studio exec: "I still think a film like 'Tree' could get in the Oscars, because it's that kind of film. I'm wondering about 'The Artist,' too, and what will happen with it."
The Weinstein Co.'s Gallic B&W movie, "The Artist," is a candidate in the comedy-musical category, which can only further its campaign as one of the year's quirkiest success stories.
Elsewhere, exception was taken to what may be an intrinsic character issue with the HFPA.
"I think the exclusion of 'Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close' reflects the foreign press' inability to connect to the well of emotion still connected to Sept. 11," says Joe Neumaier, critic for the New York Daily News. "Its late screening for the HFPA certainly didn't help, and I'm surprised Sandra Bullock and Max von Sydow weren't included. At the same time, though, it isn't a shock to find an emotional block between the HFPA and that movie's hyper-local take on tragedy."
Neumaier also points to the omission of a supporting perf, and what he saw as the disconnect between the character and the HFPA's foreign perspective.
"It may be that Melissa McCarthy's Megan in 'Bridesmaids' was too gauche and too 'American" for them," he says. "So they went with lead Kristen Wiig. Alternately, though, I think the love they showed for 'Ides of March' is partly because it felt like a peek behind the American political curtain."
There were other films that reflect American sensibilities that got some HFPA love.
The backdrop of drama nominee "Moneyball," for instance, features the quintessential American pastime, baseball. Long a U.S. passion, the sport is largely ignored in much of the rest of the world, but HFPA viewers took the story of Oakland A's g.m. Billy Beane to heart.
Then there's "The Help," which examines how African-American maids were treated in the American south in the 1960s. Clearly, writer-director Tate Taylor's pic resonated to those who may have been unaware of the abusive treatment those women suffered in the racially slanted region of the U.S.
What: Golden Globe Awards
When: 5 p.m. PT SundayRead More »
More than 1,000 mini bottles and 500 magnums of Grand Vintage 2002 Moet & Chandon champagne —-more than 9,000 glasses—-will be served on the red carpet and inside the ballroom at this year;s glittering Golden Globes awards ceremony on January 15.
For 21 years Moet & Chandon has provided the champagne for the 1,500 guests and this year will be celebrating its anniversary with its specially-created, award-winning 2002 Grand Vintage.

From the New York Post
Watch your back, Oscar!
The Academy Awards telecast — plagued in recent years by low ratings and growing viewer discontent — is in danger of playing second fiddle to the younger, hipper Golden Globes, experts say.
"The Globes have seized the cool factor this year," Tom O'Neil, editor of GoldDerby.com, tells The Post.
The Oscars telecast, meanwhile, "is like high mass," he says. "And going to church is supposed to be boring. It is part of the punishment for the soul that you deserve for living that glamorous Hollywood life."
Ratings for "Hollywood's Biggest Night" have been flirting with all-time lows, with just more than 36 million tuning in last February.
A BIT STIFF: When the Oscars tried to cater to a young audience with James Franco and Anne Hathaway as hosts, they still didn't measure up to the much edgier Golden Globes (hosted last year and again this year by Ricky Gervais) or the MTV Movie Awards.
"I think someday it is inevitable that the MTV Movie Awards will surpass the Oscars in terms of eyeballs [watching]," O'Neil says.
Much of the anticipation about this year's Golden Globes comes from returning host Ricky Gervais.
"He was such a skunk at the picnic last year that everyone is looking forward to what mischief he perpetrates this year," O'Neil says.
"There is a lot of buzz and excitement surrounding the Globes that are not surrounding the Oscars."
The 2012 Academy Awards — which air Feb. 26 — have instead been trying to deflect attention away from the recent loss of producer Brett Ratner and host Eddie Murphy.
Comedian Billy Crystal — who has emceed the event eight times between 1990 and 2004 — came to the show's rescue in November.
But at 63, is he simply too old to recapture Oscar's former glory — and the 40 million-plus who once tuned in?
"Billy Crystal was the perfect guy at the perfect cultural moment," says TV expert Bob Thompson at Syracuse University.
"But he is a lot older now. This moment is very, very different. One of my students actually said to me, 'Isn't Billy Crystal dead?' "
O'Neil believes Oscar producers should simply give up trying to pander to the Twitter generation.
"I think they are realizing the error of their recent ways when they hankered after hipness by picking Anne Hathaway and James Franco last year and seeing that become a disaster," he says.
"And by picking the rent-a-clowns from New York — Jon Stewart, Chris Rock and David Letterman — who were totally inappropriate hosts for the Oscars, they were trying to be totally cool and edgy and it backfired.
"Now they are going with a Hollywood insider who is a proven maestro."
Gervais, meanwhile, has vowed nothing is off limits for his Globes return on January 15.
"Or I wouldn't do it," he tells The BBC. "Where is the fun in that? Get someone who can read [cue cards], because I am not very good at that."
Last year, Gervais came under fire for attacking Charlie Sheen, Scientology and even the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
"The greatest thing about him is . . . you don't know what he is going to do," Globes producer Barry Adelman tells The Post.
"Of course it scares you, but at the end of the day it keeps you on your toes, which is good for everybody.
"Our approach is we want to throw a big party to celebrate the best of the year in movies and television, and we want people to have a great time when they are at that party. I think that spills over into the television viewing audience."Read More »

Rollins to Return Saturday
Jimmy Rollins is expected to be back in the Phillies lineup tomorrow afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Rollins, who left the team Wednesday to be with his wife for the birth of their second child, had been penciled into today's lineup, but shortly thereafter got scratched. Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg called it an "internal miscommunication" on the organization's part.
"Everything is fine," Sandberg said. "He'll be good to go. He'll get in tonight and be in the lineup tomorrow."
Jayson Nix replaced Rollins at shortstop.
The Phillies never placed Rollins on the paternity leave list, which would have allowed them to temporarily replace him on the roster. But options were limited with available players on the 40-man roster. One possibility would have been catcher Cameron Rupp, who could have been used for pinch-hitting purposes.
Rollins Takes Baby Time
The Phillies could be without Jimmy Rollins through the weekend.
He left the team today to be with his wife Johari in Philadelphia for the imminent birth of their second child. Rollins could be placed on the Major League Baseball's paternity leave list as early as Friday. Teams have 48 hours to place the player on leave once the baby is born.
Players have up to three days of paternity leave.
"He had a reason to go today," Ryne Sandberg said.
The Phillies played today's series finale against the Rangers at Globe Life Park with 24 players. If and when they place Rollins on paternity leave, they would be allowed to replace him on the roster.
"When the baby is delivered we'll go from there," Sandberg said.
In the meantime, infielder Jayson Nix is expected to play shortstop while Rollins is out. Cesar Hernandez would only be played there in an emergency situation.
"He's very steady, very professional, very polished infielder," Sandberg said of Nix. "I heard good things about his glove, and after watching him take ground balls, he's fundamentally sound. I've also been impressed with his batting practice, and his at-bats last night."
Rollins' Big Day
Jimmy Rollins today made a record-setting 14th consecutive Opening Day start for the Phillies.
It set a National League record for shortstops with 14 consecutive Opening Day starts for the same franchise. Cincinnati's Dave Concepcion held the previous mark with 13. Rollins also tied Baltimore's Cal Ripken Jr. for the big league record. Ripken started 14 straight from 1983-96.
"It's cool," Rollins said after a 14-10 victory over the Rangers at Globe Life Park. "I don't think too much of it. If I'm on the team, I expect to be out there."
Rollins then hit the 200th homer of his career in the second inning, a grand slam to hand the Phillies a 6-0 lead. He is the 19th player in baseball history to have 400 or more doubles, 100 or more triples and 200 or more home runs in a career. Fifteen of the first 18 players are in the Hall of Fame, including Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Lou Gehrig, Al Simmons, Jimmie Foxx, Stan Musial, Roberto Clemente, Willie Mays, George Brett, Robin Yount and Paul Molitor.
"Oh yeah, I knew that," Rollins said of the milestone. "I remember growing up going to Oakland A's games and looking at the size of Mark McGwire and I was like, 'I'm not going to hit too many home runs. I'll hit a few, but I could play there (in the big leagues).' Going back to that, I guess I proved myself wrong."
Rollins' next homer will be his 200th as a shortstop, as one of his homers came as a pinch-hitter.
Some wondered if Rollins would make the Opening Day lineup. He is on baby watch, with his wife expecting their second child in the coming days. Rollins did not travel with the team from Philadelphia to Texas on Saturday, instead arriving Sunday night. If Rollins' wife goes into labor, he is expected to leave the team. Major League Baseball allows players three days of paternity leave, which Rollins used with the birth of his first child in May 2012.
"I stayed an extra day because I didn't want to fly here and fly back if something happened," Rollins said. "I wanted to be there. The baby let me go out there and play ball for a few more days."
Mike Schmidt holds the Phillies' record for consecutive Opening Day starts at any position, with 16 at third base from 1974-89.
Rollins Unfazed By Report
The Phillies had just started batting practice this morning at Bright House Field, when Ruben Amaro Jr. called over Jimmy Rollins to a spot in shallow left field.
They spoke for a couple minutes with Amaro concluding the conversation with a pat on Rollins' back.
Amaro and Rollins declined to discuss the conversation, but they most certainly were discussing an ESPN.com report yesterday that said there is strong sentiment within the Phillies organization that it would be better served trading Rollins as soon as possible. It followed Ryne Sandberg benching Rollins three consecutive games last week and offering a pointed "no comment" when asked about Rollins' influence in the clubhouse this spring.
Rollins said he isn't bothered by the report.
"Because I can't be traded," he said before leaving for Dunedin to play the Blue Jays. "It doesn't matter. I don't care which way it is tried to be twisted or said, or if it is exactly how it was said, or even if it was said, I can't be traded. It doesn't matter. If I was tradable it may have weight because that means I could be moving soon. But I am not tradable and so it doesn't matter."
Amaro repeatedly called any suggestion the Phillies want Rollins out "silly" or "silliness."
"Absolute silliness," he said. "Jimmy Rollins is our shortstop. One of the ways we're going to be able to win is with Jimmy being Jimmy. … We have no intention of moving Jimmy. We need Jimmy to play for us to win. It's as simple as that."
Asked if he believes Rollins needs to be a better leader or if that is an issue, Amaro said, "I don't have any issues at all with Jimmy."
It must be noted the Phillies have explored trading Rollins the previous two Trade Deadlines and again this past offseason, just like there are some that have grown weary of things like Rollins not running hard to first base, etc., so the idea the Phillies would trade Rollins at the right time with the right opportunity is correct. But Rollins has stated multiple times over the past year he has absolutely no intentions of waiving his 10-and-5 trade rights.
He is not going anywhere.
Rollins said he is not troubled that somebody could be trying to make him look bad.
"It might be a little late for that," Rollins said. "That's probably happened years ago. You're persecuted long before the day you're sentenced. You're already found guilty or innocent by the people, so it's a little late for that.
"Everybody wants to be loved or liked. But good or bad, right or wrong, people are going to love you and some are going to hate you regardless. You can't change their opinions to swing either way."
Amaro reiterated several times the Phillies need Rollins to play and play well if they expect to return to the postseason for the first time since 2011. But one thing that could be a distraction to Rollins is if he believes the front office doesn't like him.
"Nobody, there's nobody that is upset with Jimmy," Amaro said. "Jimmy Rollins is our shortstop. I'm happy to have him. Like I said, we need to have Jimmy be as good as he possibly can be for us to win."
Rollins had the worst season of his career last year. He said he isn't worried the hammer is being dropped because he is not performing like he had in the past.
"That's OK," he said. "Am I coming off a bad year? Yes, that part is true. I've never hid from the truth. That's OK. They can't be harder on me than I am on myself. It's OK, it's OK, it's OK. I'm looking forward to a great year."
The Rollins Drama
Is this just the beginning of the Jimmy Rollins drama?
ESPN's Buster Olney had a very interesting tweet and story today about Rollins, who was benched three consecutive games last week because Ryne Sandberg had a problem with him:
Sources: There is strong sentiment within PHI organization right now that the team would be better off trading shortstop Jimmy Rollins ASAP.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) March 18, 2014
Olney then noted, "Jimmy Rollins, of course, cannot be traded without his consent, because he has 10-5 rights."
Yes, there are folks who have grown tired of Rollins. But then the Phillies also signed him to a three-year, $33 million extension following the 2011 season, despite no evidence any other team in baseball offered him more than a one-year deal. Rollins' deal includes an easily attainable club option for 2015, which essentially makes this a four-year, $44 million contract. The Phillies handed him this contract, despite knowing his shortcomings, knowing they had Freddy Galvis waiting in the wings and knowing Rollins' production had declined the previous three seasons. His .720 OPS from 2009-11 ranked 144th out of 181 qualifying players, and 14th out of 25 qualifying shortstops.
They committed big money to him anyway.
Two important things to remember here:
Rollins Comments on Ryno's No Comment
Jimmy Rollins spoke to reporters this morning following Ryne Sandberg's interesting "no comment" yesterday, when asked about the positivity and energy he has brought this spring. Rollins has not played since Monday. He was in Tuesday's lineup, but was scratched that morning. He did not play yesterday and he is not in the lineup today.
Rollins is healthy.
Here is some of what he said this morning:
Q: Why do you think you're not in the lineup today? It's unusual for a starter.
A: Yeah, I don't know. You'll have to go ask the manager. I don't write the lineup.
Q: Do you think it's unusual, though?
A: Oh, it is unusual. Yes, but I'm not going to try to second guess or predict or come up with a reason why.
Q: So yesterday Sandberg is asked about Freddy Galvis. He says he loves his positivity and energy. The next question is how has Jimmy been in that regard this spring? He gives a no comment. What do you make of that? Does that bother you?
A: Well, everyone is allowed to have their own opinion. It doesn't make it right, but he's the manager so he gets to have the last say.
Q: What's your relationship with Ryne so far?
A: It's good. We talk. Except for the last two days we talk every day. We talk about baseball behind the cage when we're doing our hitting drills. I let people challenge me throughout situations and have fun. No one has a problem with that.
Q: When would you want to talk with Ryno about this?
A: Whenever he comes to me.
Q: Do you think there's a method to this? Do you think he's trying to light a fire under you or something?
A: I don't know. I don't know. There's no fire that needs to be lit, though. Never has been, especially when things count.
Rollins Sits, Galvis Positively Plays
Ryne Sandberg has been singing Freddy Galvis' praises since the offseason, when he essentially guaranteed he would make the team as a utility infielder.
Galvis went 1-for-2 with a triple, walk and RBI in today's 6-5 victory over the Orioles in a Grapefruit League game at Ed Smith Stadium. Galvis has started at shortstop the past two Grapefruit League games, and is scheduled to start there a third consecutive game tomorrow against the Yankees at Bright House Field. Asked before the game about Rollins' string of absences, Ruben Amaro Jr. said he is unaware of any health issues.
So is everything OK with Rollins or is he just getting a break?
"No, he's fine," Sandberg said.
Asked if Galvis could push Rollins for playing time this season, Sandberg said, "Freddy's a guy that will get playing time at various positions. He's a guy that I like in the lineup. I feel good about what he brings to the table. The biggest thing I like is his energy and his positive influence. His positive influence on everybody that's around him."
And what he has thought about Rollins in that regard this spring?
"No comment," Sandberg said.
Team to Beat? Not Anymore
Jimmy Rollins hasn't been afraid to speak his mind as long as I've known him.
He memorably called the Phillies the team to beat in the National League East in 2007. He even maintained they were the best team in the division last season, despite an 81-81 finish, 17 games behind the first-place Nationals and 14 games behind the second-place Braves.
"With us being healthy, you know, they're a second-place team," Rollins said about the Nationals. "But we weren't."
But asked following yesterday's 4-3 loss to the Mets if he still felt the Phillies were the best team in the NL East when healthy, Rollins said, "There's a lot of talented teams in the division. The team that we had in the past definitely was. The team going forward, we'll figure that out. There are a bunch of new pieces. We haven't had that around here for a long time. I'm excited about them. They're good, young players. Big eyed. A lot of hopes and wishes, it's our part to make sure they come true. It's fun seeing the energy and excitement every single day. The world is still theirs and it's at hand. They can change it. I was that guy. Now it's up to me, Chase (Utley) and Ryan (Howard) to make sure they do change it."
The Phillies already have lost 84 games with seven games remaining. Anything can happen next year, but as the Phillies get further and further removed from their 102-win season in 2011, it gets harder and harder to picture them winning 90 games and competing for a championship.
Especially because at this moment you pretty much know how this team is going to look next season. The everyday lineup is almost set, although the Phillies have to resign Carlos Ruiz or find somebody to replace him. They also have to decide if Darin Ruf is going to be the other right-handed bat in the lineup. The rotation has plenty of 'ifs' behind Cole Hamels and Cliff Lee. The bullpen has shown some promise lately, but the Phillies were feeling the same way about their bullpen at the end of last season.
The Phillies entered this season with countless ifs. If the majority of those ifs turned out OK, they could have competed for a postseason berth. But very few did. So is there any reason to think those countless ifs will be any easier to achieve next season?
Bowa Talks Ryno, Coaching for Ryno and Rollins
Larry Bowa had some interesting things to say Wednesday when he stopped by the ballpark.
First, he explained why Ryne Sandberg will be a good manager.
Second, he talked about possibly taking a job on Sandberg's coaching staff.
But then he talked about Jimmy Rollins, whose .666 OPS is the lowest of his 14-year career. Bowa is a big Rollins fan. The two have a good relationship. One of my favorite Rollins-Bowa stories happened in the clubhouse at Citizens Bank Park in 2004. Bowa was walking through the clubhouse past Rollins' locker, when Rollins' blurted, "Hey, Bo, you've got to pimp that walk. Drag that back leg." Bowa didn't miss a beat and responded, "I'd like to see you drag that back leg across home plate every once in a while." Both men laughed.
"Jimmy still has a lot of baseball left in him," Bowa said Wednesday. "You have to keep the volume up. Sometimes he likes to lower the volume. The volume is definitely turned back up (recently). I can see a big difference."
Rollins is hitting .385 (15-for-39) with two doubles, one home run, two RBIs, seven walks, three stolen bases and a .991 OPS in his last 11 games. It's a small sample size, but it's something.
"I don't even know if they talk," Bowa said about Rollins and Sandberg, "but I see a difference in the way Jimmy has played lately. Ryno hasn't said a word whether he's talked to him, but I just watching Jimmy and see a difference in Jimmy. … "(Rollins is) lucky. You don't play on winning teams every year. To me, the mark of a good player is – what, they are 18 games out? – you still have to post up. It's hard to play like that, but you still have to do it. It's easy to play when everything is going good. He's been very lucky. Even when I was here, we were .500 or above. It's fun to play like that. When you're 18 games out, you have to kick it in, and it's hard sometimes."
If There's A Bottom, This Has To Be It
The Phillies didn't need to say much in the visitors clubhouse following today's 12-4 loss to the Tigers.
A few just offered a look.
It's that look when the eyes open wide for a split second like, "Wow, can you believe that just happened?"
It did. The Phillies went 1-8 on the road against the Mets, Cardinals and Tigers. Their eight-game losing streak is their longest since an eight-game skid in Sept. 2011. It is their worst road trip of nine or more games since July 28-Aug. 6, 1995, when they went 1-8 against the Cubs, Braves and Reds.
"I've seen a lot, but I haven't seen that," said Jimmy Rollins, who has been with the team since 2000. "That was embarrassing. … If there's a bottom, this has to be it. I can't imagine things getting worse than they have this past week, culminating the way they did today."
Rollins also offered his reasons for optimism. Read the above link for that. But Jonathan Papelbon isn't nearly as cheery. He spoke a couple times yesterday, expressing his frustrations about the losing and the organization. He said if things don't improve changes need to be made from top to bottom. I asked if Papelbon wants to be traded. He said no, he wants to remain in Philadelphia. But then he said if things continue this way, he doesn't want to stick around. He said who would? You wonder what is going to happen there. I think both parties would welcome a trade, but it's easier said than done. There doesn't appear to be much of a market for Papelbon, and that could become a problem if the team keeps losing.
Michael Young said he hasn't heard anything yet about a potential trade. And even though Rollins hasn't been rumored to be traded, he said he would reject any proposals for now.
It was an interesting trip at the very least. It is hard to imagine the Phillies buying in any true capacity before Wednesday's 4 p.m. deadline (i.e. giving up a top prospect to fill a void in the bullpen or outfield). It wouldn't make much sense. But I'm just not sure who they can trade to retool for the future. I'm not sure how much value Young has. It sounds like Chase Utley isn't going anywhere. And while the Phillies would trade Cliff Lee, I wonder what they can get in return. They already traded him once and didn't get much back.
Papelbon mentioned the Red Sox from 2011. Theo Epstein and Terry Francona both left the organization following a 7-20 finish. They also ditched players like Carl Crawford, Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett and Papelbon. The Red Sox struggled last season, but they are now first in the American League East with the second-best record in baseball. Ruben Amaro Jr. has his work cut out for him, but if he can make the right moves the Phillies could bounce back relatively quickly. But that's easier said than done, and the last couple years nothing has been easy.

Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday villa in Salamina Island - Silence Nest
4 Bedrooms, 4 Bathrooms, 8 Sleeps
Basking in the colorful Mykonian sunsets and offering one of the most scenic views on the island, Silence Nest is a private property located in the area of Pouli on the southwestern side of Mykonos. Its elevated position allows for exceptional views stretching out over the Aegean sea, including the islands of Delos and Rhenia – while also ensuring a peaceful location that grants access to the southwestern beaches and Chora within reasonable time.
Silence Nest's design has a unique theme, quite in contrast with the traditional architecture of the island. Sharp edges and pastel colors distinguish the property's structure signaling a distinctive design and care for detail. The outdoor area evolves mainly around the villa's infinity pool positioned in the most panoramic position of the lateral terrace. Complemented by an outdoor dining area covered by a pergola and a cozy outdoor sitting area – all strictly providing extensive sea views – it allows for guests to enjoy time outdoors and indulge in relaxation with such a magnificent backdrop and surrounding.
The property features a main house designed on three levels and a guest studio located below and accessed through the villa's garden. The overall style of the interior design could be described as minimal given the carefully selected furnishings and design, yet the concept is further developed through an ingenious use of colors and architectural design. The villa's main kitchen and living room are positioned on the ground level of the main house. The living room displays a clever use of space while not being shy of comfort nor of views, which can be enjoyed through the various large windows. The kitchen is located to the back of the property yet through a clever design of "in-line" French doors, combined with those of the living room, also grants sea views from its dining area. Bedroom-wise the main house features a spacious master bedroom that occupies the first floor in its entirety, a guest bedroom on the main floor and a rather airy guest bedroom on the lower level, all respecting the minimal theme of the property. The same can be said for the guest studio, which is reach via a stone path descending through the well-maintained garden.
For those fond of laid back experiences, a panoramic eye-full and thoughtful design will cherish their time at Silence Nest, where one can "escape" the nightlife of Mykonos while still being able to conveniently be a part of it given the reasonable distance from the island's main spots.

Once those elements are implemented, Artistic adds a 4.5-kWh photovoltaic panel system on the roof and a solar hot water heating system.
The home also is certified under Energy Star's Indoor Air Package, which targets indoor air quality as well as energy efficiency. According to Energy Star, qualifying homes include, among other features, moisture control through water-managed roofs, walls, and foundations; pest management, including termite shields and slab reinforcements; whole-house and spot ventilation; sealed garages and direct- or power-vented gas- and oil-fired equipment; building materials with reduced chemical content; ventilating the home before occupancy; and radon control.
Upgrading from the base model to the zero-energy package with the included Energy Star Indoor Air Package adds an additional $44,000 to the homes' $196,000 base price. Portions of the cost can be recouped through rebates, including a federal solar tax credit. New Mexico also offers a tax credit for homes with HERS ratings of 60 or better and a LEED certification of at least Silver, Wade says.
Homeowners also gain ROI through net metering. In addition, the local utility pays homeowners 13 cents for every kWh produced. Artistic Homes says that if tax credit savings and an estimated $200-per-month energy savings are applied to the mortgage, the home can be paid off in 17 to 18 years as opposed to 30.
So far, the company has sold two of the upgraded homes and has three under contract.
Wade estimates interest will continue to climb, especially as costs drop. "As technology gets better and as our building science and applications and procedures get better, we'll be able to continually offer it at more affordable levels," he says. "And as a general rule, we're going to have to see the industry move toward that."

OMG. Keith McNally is always good for a quote, but his latest is just one big barrel of laughs. He runs roughshod over Eaters Gatekeepers column by first dispensing seemingly useful advice (Saturday is easier than Wednesday or Thursday for walk-ins) and then quickly taking a flight into fancy (at least, were hoping). On bribes: I never take gifts, ever. Its against my principle. I do take cash, however. And as much of it as I can get. On celebs: A lot of celebs have been to Minetta Tavern lately but I have an unbendable policy of never mentioning their names. Especially when it's Woody Allan [sic], Ben Affleck and Madonna a couple of Tuesdays ago. Or Jude Law and a waitress from Pastis on Thursday. Okay, so he might be going a touch far when he jokes about taking advantage of a drunk female patron (request he couldnt accommodate? To leave her apartment when she asked me to. I think the police were called in eventually), but he quickly makes a save when asked where he likes to eat: I love Maxwell's Plum on 64th and 1st. (Is it still open?).

McNally has fun with Eater's Gatekeepers column.

Good for Beginners.
Bottom Line: You will understand much more about black holes after you read this book. Drawback: an unneccessarily snarky tone around edges (requires a voice all its own in the audiobook.)
"So...if a black hole isn't a hole, then what IS it? If you have the slightest interest in science generally, space in particular, or in anything so strong that "no army of tow trucks, no convoy of supersized earth haulers, no fleet of giant rocket engines" could out-pull it, you owe it to yourself to read this book and find out. It's amusingly written and easy to understand, but it doesn't shy away from presenting meaty scientific concepts that you'll need to grasp before you can contemplate the mysteries of these "extreme gravity zones" of outer space. For more fascinating reading about black holes, check out Ellen Jackson's The Mysterious Universe."

FORT WAYNE – A 3-month-old boy arrived June 3 at a hospital with a bloody nose, swollen eyes and bruises to his face, but the extent of his injuries was far more horrific.
Hospital staff and doctors discovered retinal damage so severe the baby might be blind and two brain hemorrhages that could lead to permanent developmental disabilities.
The baby's father is accused of causing the injuries after he gave conflicting reports on how the infant was hurt, according to a probable cause affidavit filed Thursday.
When police interviewed Andrei J. Blakesley, 24, about how the boy was injured so badly, he first said he got out of the shower and discovered the baby had bruises, a puffy lip and a bloody nose, according to the report.
Rather than tend to the child's injuries, Blakesley, of the 8400 block of Bridgeway Drive, said he played video games until his fiancée, the baby's mother, returned from work a couple of hours later, the affidavit said.
The mother told police she did not notice any bruises on her son's face until later in the day, which conflicted with Blakesley's version of when he saw the injuries.
Blakesley eventually told police he dropped the infant on the floor when he tripped over his 20-month-old son, but then said he tried to drop the baby on the sofa after tripping over the other child.
Blakesley said the younger child might have hit a hard part of the sofa during the drop.
A doctor at Lutheran Hospital told police the injuries were inconsistent with that story. The doctor went on to the say the injuries to the boy's eyes could leave him blind or partly blind.
The baby will also likely have severe developmental issues, such as cerebral palsy, but the extent of the damage may not be known for several years, according to the affidavit.
One of the brain hemorrhages was 3 weeks old and, along with the other injuries, indicated a pattern of abuse consistent with shaken baby syndrome and abusive head trauma, the doctor told police.
When detectives arrested Blakesley on Wednesday to question him further, he said his mother hired an attorney for him and he was not to speak to police.
Blakesley was jailed on preliminary charges of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury and battery causing serious bodily injury to a victim less than 14 years old. Both are felonies.
He was released after posting $10,000 bail.

There are pool tables as far as the eye can see inside On Cue Billiards. At least it feels that way ? there are actually 25, which host rounds of everything from eight-ball to bank pool until 2 a.m. nightly. Since opening in May of 1992, On Cue has also crowns pool champs every Monday night with its in-house nine-ball tournament. Win or lose, everybody can feast like victors at the bar, which supplies pub classics like spicy chicken fingers alongside eight draft beers.
Society Billiard Café combines the pool hall's social atmosphere with a full bar and eatery's complement of entrees and drinks. Pool sharks pay by the hour, sinking stripes and solids on green felt-topped tables lining the pool hall. Black chairs and marble-top tables encourage chatting over drinks and pizza slices from a full bar and food service, and die-hard pool pros can spend all three hours perfecting their trick shots off through the 8th dimension.
On Miramar Road near Mira Mesa, Brewski's Bar & Arcade is part arcade, part bar and overall a great place for an informal hang with a group of friends. As a low key space with beer, pool and arcade games, Brewski's plays to the twentysomething crowd, offering a no-fuss feel and great value. Best of all: the games are completely free. With over 20 options to choose from, plus a handful of pool tables, there's never a shortage of ways to spend the night. A well-received selection of beers on tap, as well as a generous menu that lets patrons spend the night snacking, keeps Brewski's popular on weekends.
Bowling is the great social equalizer—a common ground where grizzled undercover clowns, blue-collar English lords, LARPer librarians, big and tall lingerie models, hordes of hive-minded hipsters, and the other two social demographics that comprise America can unite in common cause and topple a gaggle of stuck-up, inanimate wooden pins. Brunswick has been a household name in this egalitarian pastime almost since the beginning, with a company history that dates back to the 19th century, providing classic American good times to all manner of patrons across the country. And with today's Groupon tying the room together, you'll get to play two games (up to a $10.98 value) in its hallowed halls wearing a pair of freshly disinfected bowling shoes (up to a $4.79 value).
At Kearny Mesa Bowl, groups of players demonstrate their underhand accuracy before crooning hits at the onsite karaoke bar. The alley hosts open hours throughout the week, along with league opportunities for men, women, and children. Lightweight bowling balls are available for kiddies or adults whose arms are tired from bouts of underground gorilla arm wrestling.

The events held at these diverse locations range from culinary workshops on topics such as sushi-making and moonshine-tasting, to adventurous excursions with whitewater rafting or kayaking, to laid-back themed party cruises. For many outings, luxury transportation is provided.

I know of a lot of great Middle Eastern places in the city, but have yet to find a good one in Queens. Any suggestions?
re: abu applesauce
On 71st Ave south of Austin by the LIRR station. Its an Israeli place. Very small, no tables. Though they have some counter space with stools. I don't usually get the falafel, I get the grilled chicken pita, which is awesome. I've had the falafel, and I recall it being pretty good though I'm not a regular falafel eater.
hapisgah on union turnpike off main street has good babaghanoush. also "on the grill" on queens blvd and 67th or 66th (near parkside memorial chapels) is good.
re: josh L
Hondo asked for Queens
I like El Manara on Steinway and 28th Ave.
re: E Eto
Since El Manara closed over a year ago, I haven't found a good replacement for the Armenian style sandwiches. Until I finally tried the sandwiches from the back counter at El Shater in Sunnyside. I was completely skeptical about the sandwich and I don't even think the chicken was that great, but it had all the right accompaniments inside, like the pickled turnips, and the garlic sauce. El Shater even has soujuk on the menu, but when I asked for it, I was told they were out, which didn't surprise me. Until I get to LA for a chicken tarna sandwich from Zankou, this will probably be my place for something similar.
re: EJC
I love El Shater, that's just what I was going to suggest. They are Lebanese.
There's also another Middle Eastern/European next door, and that coffee roaster place, Baruir's on Queens Blvd., but I still favor El Shater.
Steinway Street is excellent too, El Manara and it's neighbors northward.
Try Naomi's on Main Street near 69th Ave(Flushing). It's in the plaza near S&M Pharmacy (I love that name).
I find Pahal Zan very average at best-(and the mention of their best hummos is funny to me, because I know for a fact they take it from the Sabra containers (as well as their salads)--(had a friend who knows the place well)-though it is needed on Austin Street area as there is no other option for middle eastern in the immediate blocks--which is strange given the large population of Israel's that live in Parker Towers alone......My choice is consistently Hapisgah on Union Tpke in Kew Garden Hills--Israeli Morrocan style cuisine--their falafel is bright green inside--very fresh--their hot sauce is nice and green and great--their hummos is excellent-and it's HOMEMADE!!! (they also serve one with mushrooms which is good).If you like the falafel at Chickpea near St. Mark's in city then you'd like Hapisgah's. They also have good greek eggplant salad, and Persian chicken, and they are know for their steaks-------a very popular place----stay away on Sundays, it is a madhouse...........If you just want takeout there, you walk to the back and there is a counter where you can see stuff, and this will get you in and out quick, if you don't have time to eat there..I eat their lunch special there, it's a good bargain, and the place is very mellow at that time. Keep in mind, if you have Israeli kosher falafel, it's made one way--the Egyptians make it another way, and so on and so forth-----also, if you have a fava bean allergy always ask because alot of the non kosher places use fava beans in their recipe...........
re: janie
Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but this seems like the place for this post...
A coworker brought me to Pahal Zan yesterday, specifically for the hummos (she did mention that they do not make it in house, but likes it so much that she thinks it is the best in the area), but we also got some other things. The hummos was indeed good and creamy, but I really enjoyed the beet salad and eggplant salad more than anything else- I'd go back for those two items alone.
janie- out of curiosity, do you happen to know which, if any, salads they do make in house? Maybe I'll try them next.
re: TongoRad
Just seeing this post now, as I had not gone into my other pages and missed alot of newer posts---My husband eats there fairly often for just falafel sandwich, and they put Israeli salad, in there, your basic cucumber-tomato, mix...nothing special. But, that hummos your coworker likes is Sabra, go the grocery store and buy it! They buy the sabra commercial salad stuff...try Carmel on 108th st as they sell alot of the Sabra salad stuff if that's what you want. Sorry, don't know anymore about the specific salads there, but just ask them, they should tell you. There's another Israeli place on Queens Blvd near to 66th rd that is pretty good, they make a very nice tabouli there.
That's funny, cause I've had both Sabra hummus and the humus from Pahal Zan, and they tast completely different. Sabra's hummus, while not bad compared to supermarket brands, has less taste and is almost chalky compared to Pahal Zan's which is smooth and creamy and very tasty. I've had other salads there as well and they taste and look nothing like Sabra's salads. All anyone has to do to know they're not the same is to taste them.
re: mistahone
my friend said they get them supplied from a commercial division of Sabra that supplies alot of restaurants.....they are a pretty reliable source....
On Friday, I went to El Shater in Sunnyside. The falafel was so good that after I finished, I went back another.
I recently tried Flame Grill on Union Turnpike and Grill Point on Main Street. Both were really good. My coworker tried the falafel at Flame Grill. The first thing he said was "Wow. This is delicious".

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN's Kiper downgrades Arizona Cardinals' 2013 draft class
The Arizona Cardinals got some pretty impressive contributions from their 2013 draft class.
In fact, ProFootballFocus.com rated Arizona's haul as the most productive of any team's last season, highlighting the seasons put forth by Tyrann Mathieu and Andre Ellington.
But not everyone is as bullish about what the Cardinals accomplished last season with regards to their eight selections.
ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., who gave the Cardinals a solid B after the draft, downgraded them in his "Regrading the 2013 NFL draft" piece.
An ESPN Insider piece, Kiper is now giving the Cardinals a B-.
Summary: If not for Mathieu, this class would take a big step back, but there's still a lot of promise, and health played a big role when it comes to early impact. Losing Cooper for the season before he got a chance to show what he was capable of was a big blow early, but he projects to start in 2014 and provide a big upgrade at guard. Minter wasn't as needed as we thought he'd be because Karlos Dansby played so well, but he didn't really play at all. Ellington showed he can be a big part of the offense, not only rushing for 652 yards but also catching 39 passes, and qualifies as a big steal. Mathieu was a stud, and the hope is he can come back from his knee injury and pick up where he left off. The grade slides a notch just because of the questions going forward, but the team took a big step forward, and rookies played a role.
The only NFC West team not to get downgraded by Kiper was the San Francisco 49ers, as they maintained their B grade.

Premier Theatre
20 Rock Street,
Fall River,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 6 comments
Originally, the Premier began as a church located on the northwest corner of Bedford and Rock Street. When that property was purchased by the Metacomet Bank, the church building was moved to the Rock Street location and converted to a theatre. Oddly enough, both the bank and the theatre suffered the same fate when they were destroyed in the conflagration of February 2, 1928. I will further research the name of the church and when the Premier originally opened.
In the 1913-1914 Cahn guide, the Premier Theatre is listed as a 933-seat, ground floor house playing Loew's vaudeville.
The Premier Theatre in Fall River was in operation in 1912, when the December 6 issue of The Player reported that it had been badly damaged by a fire on December 2.
address was 20 Rock St.
In a 1976 Fall River Herald feature, Women's Page editor Jean Judge wrote:
"The old Premier on Rock Street was typical of the movie houses here in those early days. At least one movie patron of old remembers going to that theatre, also owned by W. J. Dunn, and getting a box of bonbons with his ticket to the silent movie, all for the price of a dime."
"The Premier Theatre (capacity 800) was located on Rock Street, right across from District Court. However, I have just a very vague memory of its front and watching a Jackie Coogan movie in its balcony. It was destroyed in the great fire of 1928, when I was eight.
"The Rialto Theatre was located in the spot where the Durfee Theatre later stood. I have only one memory of the Rialto – of seeing a Rin Tin Tin movie there. The Rialto was also destroyed in the 1928 fire."
~~~John McAvoy, "Under the Marquee," Fall River Herald, February 11, 1990.

I grabbed it and placed it in a cage because I thought it had escaped from a cage but today it doesn't want to eat. I tried bird food fruits vegetables and cereals, what else should I do?
** I live in Miami and we have all kind of exotic birds (Miami was recently declared bird sanctuary) that have escaped and are reproducing rapidly, I've had in my backyard macaws, cockatoos, parrots of all sizes and spectacular colors eating mangoes from my trees but this is the first time I'm actually able to grab one, I've been close before to capture a cockatiel. I feel bad for the bird; if it is wild I'd like to let him go, I also think is a juvenile because it has new feathers growing on the neck. I forgot to mention that I have 4 lovebirds and 2 yellow chevroned parakeets.
Thank you for all the answers, anything that you can add will be appreciated.

Dry weather conditions in many parts of Kentucky this past summer may have resulted in grazed pastures with areas of thin vegetative cover and bare soil.
Many of these areas already have evidence of weedy vegetation, such as common ragweed and other summer annuals.
As these plants die back naturally, cool-season weeds will sprout: chickweed, henbit and purple deadnettle will fill the voids.
Other weeds such as buttercup and musk thistle will likely be more prevalent in the next spring.
The Washington County Commander golf team saw its last week of regular season play come to a close last week before the boys' and girls' regional tournaments were held on Monday and Tuesday. The most recent match saw the boys' and girls' teams squaring off against both Campbellsville and Taylor County at Lincoln Homestead.
On the girls side, sophomore Emily Cox led WC with a score of 45, which was the third lowest total and only off the lead by three strokes. Freshman Madeline Townes contributed a 66, while freshman Faith Whitaker carded an 81.
With only five games remaining in the Washington County Commanderette volleyball team's (18-6, 4-3) season, head coach Anne Mudd has been impressed overall with what she's seen out of her players this year.
She was especially pleased with how her team played last week against district opponent Thomas Nelson (2-21, 0-7). The Commanderettes made quick work of the Generals, finishing them off in straight sets, 25-13, 25-16, 25-15.
Whenever Katlyn Seger makes a bad pass or hits a ball out, she always makes it a point to move on to the next play because "five minutes from now, it's not going to matter … you just have to focus on the next play."
It's that ability to shrug off her mistakes that the Washington County Commanderette senior says is her biggest strength as a volleyball player.
In the days leading up to the Washington County Commanders' (1-4, 1-2) Friday night showdown with the Thomas Nelson Generals (3-3, 0-2) last week, WC head coach Eric
Sagrecy had a message for his team: keep working hard.
The Commanders were off to an 0-4 start but had also played four "awfully good" teams, some of the toughest competition in the state, in fact. But Sagrecy challenged his team to "keep their heads down, keep working and keep making strides as a football team."

This month of October brings forth vibrant colors of gold, rich browns and many shades of orange. Such a variety of hues would make quilters go crazy over.

The Washington County Marching Band competed at the Nelson County Pageant Of Bands. They Placed 2nd in Class AA and won Best Color Guard.
"This was a very small contest with only five total bands in the entire contest, but the competition was fierce. We knew going into this contest that we would have our hands full with Garrard County, and as fate would have it, we were right," said Debbie Harrod, director.
The fourth- and fifth-graders at North Washington Elementary School got an firsthand look at the inner workings of Kentucky government recently, and the trip could go a long way to helping students meet core content requirements this year.
Frankfort was paid a visit by 113 students and more than 25 adults on Sept. 12, and Miranda Yonts, the teacher from North Washington who led the trip, said it is already paying off, with students being able to relate what's on the curriculum with what they saw up close two weeks ago.

When I first arrived to LA, I was this Jersey girl who was chasing the dream in Hollywood. I was still figuring out who I was, what I really wanted to be and what was going to make me happy. When I started my fitness journey with Michael Blanks and Irene Blanks Drenched Workout, I realized how much fitness made me happy.
Even to this day, I celebrate me whenever I do a Drenched Cardio work out. Michael and Irene's passion for transforming people's bodies is truly contagious. They really want you to have fun while fighting through the pain and sweat. The best part is whenever I show up for my intense high energy cardio session, I'm always greeted with a smile. They help me feel good about me.
The Drenched workout was the beginning of who I am today. I'm so grateful for the Blanks family for making me apart of their family. The success I have today is because of the faith, love, and support you always have for me.
Thank you! xo
