If Kris follows her separation up with a divorce from Bruce, that would mean losing half of the fortune she's worked so hard to amass, according to California's laws! What would this mean for her?
If Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner got a divorce, it would mean legal equality for both of them — so they would have to split Kris' $125 million dollar fortune down the middle! Keep reading to find out what legal experts tell HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY about Kris' financial situation!
Kris Jenner & Bruce Jenner Would Have To Split $125 Million Fortune
Kris and Bruce might not have emotional animosity toward each other following their separation — but they might have financial animosity soon, since Kris' fortune is about $125 million!
Because Kris and Bruce have been married for 22 years and didn't sign a prenuptial agreement — what does that mean for them under California law?
"In a community property state, such as California, everything acquired during the marriage, when there is no prenup or postnup in place, is deemed to belong equally to each party, regardless of who earned it, when it was bought, or how long the marriage is. Therefore, any earnings and businesses of Kris Jenner are deemed to belong equally to Bruce Jenner. This is significant in terms of alimony. Since it's presumed that she's earning more than he is, she may be paying him significant alimony for the rest of his life. Her business will also be subject to equitable distribution, even if he didn't contribute to it," Silvana Raso, chair of family law practice at Schepisi & McLaughlin tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Even though they obviously would to keep their separation clean, for the sake of the show, at the very least — it could get seriously messy with a divorce! And would leave them both with almost $63 million — which is still not too shabby!
"If the show started during their marriage the proceeds and residuals are community and should be divided equally between the parties; however, if she is being paid more than he is to be a performer in the show, she is entitled to be paid more than he is paid," family-based lawyer and divorce expert Douglas J. Bagby tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Yikes! Looks like Bruce should have maybe asked for a raise before he filed for separation, if Kris gets paid substantially more.
Looks like Kris has some tough choices to make!
Kris Jenner & Bruce Jenner's Legal Separation — What Does It Mean?
So what is the legal process like for Kris and Bruce's separation, and what does it mean for the two to be legally separated?
"An announcement is usually followed by some type of filing, which stops the clock running on the length of the marriage. Without that filing, in most states, the marriage is still considered to be intact, unless a separation agreement is signed. This means that unless the agreement is signed or a divorce is started, anything the parties continue to earn or acquire, even separately, may still be deemed marital property," Silvana tells us.
Looks like that may be why Kris and Bruce decided to file for separation before season nine of KUWTK airs! Bruce, Kendall Jenner, 17, and Kylie Jenner, 16, were even spotted filming on Oct. 8 – the same day that Kris and Bruce announced their separation!
Only time will tell if Kris chooses to keep her fortune over getting a clean break from Bruce in divorce proceedings and losing half of $125 million!
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Will Kris and Bruce file for divorce? Sound off!

I agree with the people on here that I hope Bruce gets everything he put into the marriage and 3/4 of Kris income. Then take the kids Bruce and get the house the dog the child support, the cars and of course the helicopter. Kris was such a disrespectful slut that you could not say a word without the girls over powering you. I hope you become the man again you once were. I hope the girls line up for you because you are very special and deserve a good woman who treats you with respect and likes what you like. Some times I could not watch the show because of how bad Kris treated you. It was really horrible and I can't believe you stayed so long. now that I think aobut it i haven't watched the show in about a year. I definately will not watch it now. Take her to the cleaners Get it all and then some.

I hope Bruce gets as much as he can, since he brought all the money into the marriage and she got nothing from Robert, she should pay him back for raising her children.
They said this on the show. Bruce convinced Robert to give her a divorce and he would pay for everything. I guess she forgets this now
Kris didn't sign a pre-nup when she married Bruce because she thought she would be able to get money out of him….the plan backfired, Kris, you deserve to lose all that you will. You go Bruce take everything and more, you deserve it. If for nothing else, for helping her raise her 4 children. Good luck Bruce, hope you find someone who truely respects you.

Words: Hector Westropp
Here at Guerilla Sounds we are all about bringing you fresh talent; DJs with that rare flair for playing more than just commercial hard house; Producers with more inspiration than making a bouncy bassline with three chords thrown in to make sure people recognise it everywhere, Mixologists that not only understand what tunes mix but also why, how, when and where to do it. To do this we have to trawl through hours of music; endless streams of mixes and remixes, recognising what's been done, what is pressing the right buttons today and even what could be great in the future. There are rare times when you really feel like somebody is just so on the money you need to talk about it, you want to get excited about it, Warren East just happens to be one of those people.
Just signed to Eivissa Soul and making his debut at Ministry on the 18th November for Casatech, things are moving pretty fast for Warren, whose clean cut off time beat placement coupled with great phasing and treble intuition, all infused with melancholy breaks are capturing the attention of some big players in the house scene. In light of this we asked Warren to make a special mix, just for us, and the result speaks volumes as to why he's a fast growing name in the industry.
Warren East Promo mix:
Where to start with this mix… it isn't techy, it isn't tribal and instinctual, definitely isn't cheesy or old school, it isn't punchy or in your face, it isn't chillout or slow moving, it isn't minimal or progressive, it isn't hard house, it isn't soft house. This leaves me with a dilemma; the only definitive adjectives I find myself with are quirky, deep and awesome, which frankly don't do it any sort of justice whatsoever… It's all about chasing that musical vibe in house we know and love.
Music is about feeling: feeling good, feeling the atmosphere, feeling alive. When a DJ feels the music then it shows in everything they do; from the tiny things that most people would never notice, right down to having a really good idea of what works without being too in-your-face to enjoy. It is when you hear these DJ's you find something strange happening, new styles emerging that leave reviewers lost for words; in need of new ways to comprehend what it is they are hearing.
Yes, it has many things a lot of great mixes have nowadays; rolling basslines and clean cut beats with thought out timing and layer-shifting but it also has what a more sentimental person would call 'The X-factor'; a quality that is almost impossible to quantify or replicate but is definitive in style and recognisable instantly as pretty darn good. What this X-factor boils down to is a love of DJing.
Amazed by the promo mix, I caught up with him to ask him a few questions about his style and what the future has in store.
Describe your musical style in 3 words:
"Deep, emotional and sophisticated."
"I play a variety of different underground styles that all have key elements and sounds that I look for. I focus on deep bass lines, intricate 3 dimensional flows with dark and edgy nuances. Uplifting breaks are essential in my tracks. My sets aim to take you on an intricately woven and magical carpet ride through sound."
Who is your hero in the house world?
"One in particular is Mr John Digweed. When he and Sasha launched their 'Northern Exposure' CD, the sound was so unique and special and captured my attention immediately. Great thanks also go to the Greats and Pioneers of the scene today- Sasha, Tenaglia, Lawler, Cox, Tomeii, Seamen, Cattaneo, Nick Warren. They are my inspiration and reason for doing what I am doing. Thank you gentlemen for all you've done!"
So what's coming up in the future for you?
"I've just been signed by Eivissa Soul which I am really excited about. There are great things in the pipeline with these guys and I'm proud to be a part of this dynamic label. I just want to DJ on a global scale rocking dance floors and doing what I love doing and really get cracking on the production side of things as of next year. Watch this space…"

The lower priced, eclectic clothes have since gained a loyal celebrity following including Chloe Sevigny, Kirsten Dunst and Camilla Belle. Miuccia Prada successfully blends hip styling with classic tailoring; the Miu Miu vision is quirky often featuring bright colours, wild prints and flirty feminine dresses. Recently Miu Miu accessories have become increasingly popular, with their patent totes and leather satchels being the most desired styles.
Miuccia Prada has described the Miu Miu label as 'more about fashion than Prada, more about atmosphere, more sensual. It's light and free. Not serious.' This carefree approach to the brand has made it one of the most successful labels of the past decade.

Thank you for Jim DeFede's article "Flying High" (February 26), reporting on State Sen. Daryl Jones and his links to the passage of legislation that erodes public disclosure of environmental costs in the reuse of former military bases. Senator Jones, recently nominated to be Secretary of the Air Force, now faces confirmation hearings.
In the last days of the 1996 legislative session, I called Senator Jones's staff to ask whether the senator knew anything about a last-minute effort by Dade County to change a state law affecting state planning requirements for Homestead Air Force Base. Earlier that year a confused Dade County Commissioner Natacha Millan inadvertently led fellow commissioners to change requirements for air-base planning to a higher standard of disclosure according to rules for the development of regional impact. Millan's bungled vote was an amazement, delivering to environmentalists an unexpected gift from a determined foe.
The commission vote, if left uncorrected, could have cost Homestead Air Base Developers, Inc. -- Millan's supporters -- many hundreds of thousands of dollars and would have held them to higher standards of disclosure in proving that their plans would not adversely affect public lands the American people have already paid a great price to protect. But in order to correct her vote, the statutory time deadlines of state law needed to be changed by the Florida Legislature.
Mr. DeFede now reports that in 1996 Senator Jones was integral to the midnight effort that resulted in a last-minute change to the state law, allowing Millan and her allies on the county commission to reverse their votes, shifting the burden of environmental disclosure and its cost to citizens. Though unreported by the press at the time, the event became part of the lore of the Homestead Air Force Base fiasco.
As a member of a Sierra Club delegation, I recently had occasion to meet with Senator Jones. I pointed out that, if confirmed as Secretary of the Air Force, he would be in a powerful position to influence the outcome of a new federal environmental study for the air base, authorized by the White House in December 1997.
The Everglades Coalition, representing more than 40 local and national environmental organizations, had persuaded the Clinton administration that a new federal study was required by federal law because Dade County had expanded the scope of the proposed airport far beyond what had originally been considered by the air force. U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, Jones's sponsor for appointment as Secretary of the Air Force, fiercely opposed the White House decision to require a supplemental environmental impact statement.
Based on this record of partisan sponsorship, I asked Senator Jones whether, if he were to be confirmed as Secretary of the Air Force, he would agree to remove himself from all involvement in the new federal study of Homestead Air Force Base. Senator Jones said he would not agree to recuse himself from the new study unless ordered to do so by the president of the United States.
Around the nation, conservationists are horrified by the precedent Homestead Air Force Base will set for major airport development at the edge of our national parks. Dade County public officials such as Mayor Alex Penelas claim that their primary concern is the economic welfare of South Dade, and that environmental concerns such as aircraft noise, toxic water spewing into pristine Biscayne National Park, the effects on protected wildlife and on Everglades restoration, the loss of agricultural lands, the growth of suburban sprawl are adequately addressed by existing laws.
But in the Homestead Air Force Base fiasco, public officials have squandered so much good faith that any reasonable observer would infer that the consequent trail of litigation can mean only one thing: Dade County and sympathetic elected officials like Sen. Daryl Jones have declared war on our national parks. The American people love our national parks. What is happening here is a national disgrace.

Your Two Kitchen Knives for My .38 Revolver
Regarding Tristram Korten's article "Shoot Out the Lights" (February 26), it is quite obvious that defense attorney Philip Gerson has no idea what he is talking about when he says that the police officers in question should have "just disarmed her from those knives," referring to his client Gwendolyn Ramsey.
Had Mr. Gerson done any research on the subject, he would have learned that defending yourself against a knife attack is not as easy as it looks on television and in the movies. Furthermore, studies have revealed that someone armed with a knife can seriously wound or kill a police officer before he or she is able to draw a sidearm.
Rey Valdes
We Come in Peace, You Leave in Pieces
I strongly agree with Gwendolyn Ramsey's attorney, Philip Gerson. There was no intent to harm others. The police officers were not at Ms. Ramsey's home to harm her. The officers were at Ms. Ramsey's home to take her into custody for her own protection and the protection of others.
It was Ms. Ramsey's decision, however distorted by her mental condition, to charge the officers while armed with knives. Perhaps Mr. Gerson himself should try to disarm an emotionally disturbed person, knives in hand, who is charging at him saying she is going to kill him. Largely, officers are not trained to disarm people with knives, nor should they be.

Revision as of 17:45, 4 April 2007QuestionWhy doesn't my SQL Server date function call work? AnswerAny of the SQL Server date functions that use a pre-defined datepart mnemonic (e.g., hh for hours, etc.) causes errors in ReportStudio because it is not obvious how to pass the parameter successfully. Simply enclose it in curly braces { } - for example, datename( {yy},[date field] ) This is because the pre-defined mnemonic is a keyword in SQL Server, and not a string - so passing it as a string won't work.

(Contributed by Filipe Barini) - "After a nice weekend in Curitiba with my girlfriend, time to get back. Told her I had to take some time at the airport, just for fun. Its a quite clean airport, easily accessible by the excellent Curitiba public bus system. But lets get to the point: there are some coffee shops, more expensive than the ones in the city. Lots of sound announcements and, often, even fairs inside the terminal (since its located in a city nearby Curitiba, the airport is the hotspot of So Jos dos Pinhais). Seats have quite high armrests, but the ones after the security check are ok. The guy at the issuing counter was a trainee, so it took 40 minutes for him to figure out how to issue our boadring passes. But its ok..." Added 19 Sep 2004

Colonel Roche, BP 44346, 31028 Toulouse cedex 4, France Abstract. Plumes, forming at the plasmapause and released outwards, constitute a well-established mode for plasmaspheric material release to the Earth's magnetosphere. They are associated to active periods and the related electric field change. In 1992, Lemaire and Shunk proposed the existence of an additional mode for plasmaspheric material release to the Earth's magnetosphere: a plasmaspheric wind, steadily transporting cold plasmaspheric plasma outwards across the geomagnetic field lines, even during prolonged periods of quiet geomagnetic conditions. This has been proposed on a theoretical basis. Direct detection of this wind has, however, eluded observation in the past. Analysis of ion measurements, acquired in the outer plasmasphere by the CIS experiment onboard the four Cluster spacecraft, provide now an experimental confirmation of the plasmaspheric wind. This wind has been systematically detected in the outer plasmasphere during quiet and moderately active conditions, and calculations show that it could provide a substantial contribution to the magnetospheric plasma populations outside the Earth's plasmasphere. Similar winds should also exist on other planets, or astrophysical objects, quickly rotating and having an atmosphere and a magnetic field. Citation: Dandouras, I.: Detection of a plasmaspheric wind in the Earth's magnetosphere by the Cluster spacecraft, Ann. Geophys., 31, 1143-1153, doi:10.5194/angeo-31-1143-2013, 2013. |

Men would rather watch Monday Night Football than go shopping. Eating too many Hardees Monster Thickburgers is linked to obesity. Texting while driving is a bad idea.
There are times when research findings are so obvious they are almost beyond questioning. So it is puzzling that growing evidence showing the importance of congregations cultivating the spiritual lives of the faithful is so routinely ignored.
Puzzling, and damaging to the health of many of the nation's churches, especially those most in need of revival.
Even though research shows spiritually alive churches are the most likely to grow, the percentage of U.S. congregations reporting high spiritual vitality declined from 43 percent in 2005 to 28 percent in 2010, according to the latest Faith Communities Today survey.
The drop was accompanied by a decline in the emphasis given to spiritual practices such as prayer and scripture reading across nearly all groups aside from white evangelicals and congregations with 1,000 or more attenders.
The most notable slide occurred among white mainline Protestant denominations, which have been aging and losing members faster than any other major religious group.
The reasons are varied: Declining financial health in the recession saps morale; aging memberships are less likely to embrace new forms of worship; some denominations have shifted emphasis away from personal piety toward social service programs.
It's not, however, because they don't know any better.
Spiritual and religious
Study after study shows what may appear to outside observers to be simple common sense: A major reason people attend religious congregations is to deepen their faith lives and draw closer to God.
The U.S. Congregational Life Survey found the percentage of weekly worshippers who reported growing in faith through their congregation was twice as high as the percentage of more infrequent attenders who experienced similar spiritual growth.
The survey also indicated that "grassroots evangelists," those who feel at ease sharing their faith with others and invite people to worship, were far more likely to strongly agree their spiritual needs are being met in the congregation and to practice devotional activities every day or most days.
"Worshippers in strong congregations also regularly spend time on their own praying, reading Scripture or using other materials to help them better understand and deepen their faith," survey researchers reported. "In other words, congregations where people spend time on their own cultivating their faith tend to have extraordinary worship as well. They're bookend strengths."
In a survey of megachurches, the No. 1 reason people gave for moving from a spectator to an active participant in their congregation was this: "I responded to an inward sense of call or spiritual prompting," researchers Scott Thumma of Hartford Seminary and Warren Bird of the Leadership Network reported in their new book, "The Other 80 Percent: Turning Your Church's Spectators Into Active Participants."
And the No. 1 reason people participated less in their congregation in the past two years? It was a tie between "had less time" and their faith had "gotten weaker," according to a separate survey of parish profile inventories offered by the Hartford Institute for Religion Research.
"Surveys of church people clearly indicate an important reality about people who are highly committed: The most involved are the most likely to say they are spiritually fulfilled, to acknowledge spiritual growth and to express satisfaction with their journey of faith. There is a strong, unmistakable relationship between the two," Thumma and Bird wrote.
Even the hardest to reach groups in the contemporary religious marketplace — young adults — appear open to approaches emphasizing spiritual growth.
Researchers Christian Smith and Patricia Snell of the University of Notre Dame examined results from the National Study of Youth and Religion in their book "Souls in Transition: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of Emerging Adults." They found factors that do predict high levels of commitment include frequent prayer and Scripture reading, personal religious experiences and highly religious parents.
Yet spiritual sustenance is often what people both young and old are not getting from their congregations.
The gap widens
In 2000, about three quarters of white mainline congregations from denominations such as the Episcopal Church and the United Church of Christ reported giving a great deal of emphasis to spiritual practices. By 2010, less than two-thirds, or 63 percent, emphasized practices like prayer and scripture reading, according to the Faith Communities Today survey,
By comparison, the percentage of white evangelical congregations giving a great deal of emphasis to spiritual practices rose slightly, from 90 percent to 91 percent.
It is difficult for many congregations today to remain spiritually vital amid decreasing financial health as a result of the recession and shrinking worship attendance in a time when religious observance is more of a choice than an obligation.
The loss of morale creates an environment where many say: "It doesn't feel as if God is in this place," said David Roozen, a lead researcher of the Faith Communities Today survey.
But part of the issue is also the choices many church leaders have made to place greater emphasis on social service programs or church committee work than on promoting spiritual growth.
There is evidence that going back to the 1960s and 1970s many mainline Protestant leaders "took faith for granted" while emphasizing other programs, Roozen said.
But activities such as prayer, worship and scripture reading are integral to the faith of people of all ages, researchers say.
"If they're going to go (to church), why they want to be there, I think, is for religion," Roozen said. "They want to connect with God and a community that connects with God."
The mystery is why that is so hard to understand.

Good article and right on point. Every vibrant congregation offers some type of formation that strengthens personal peity (e.g. bible study). People should not have to decide between bible study and social service activity, both should be offer and attended by the participants of both. You just can't be Christ-like if you are not grounded in Christ.

Why businesses are unhappy with their content management system.
Content management systems are used to publish and manage your content whether it be polls, text, sign-ups, media etc. As long as I've been in this industry I have not come along a company that has been happy with their CMS. The basic function that most companies want is add/edit/delete content from the site. With social networks being all the rage now-a-days, the need to able to publish to those sites have been very important. That being said, you can't expect a content management system to be able to tap into all of them. To resolve that, getting a "share this" button placed on your site that lets you post to many of the social sites out there.
For most businesses that are looking for a content management system(cms) that does everything they want is next to impossible. There is always something missing or something that the client doesn't realize they can't do. Sure there are the popular ones like Joomla, EKtron, Drupal to name a few, but unless you know a programmer you will not be able to reach your goal.
In the end it's not uncommon that you or your company are not satisfied with your cms and sometimes the best thing to do is to have one made so that your most crucial functions get programmed in and make sure that it's easy for the programmer to upgrade the cms that they created you. Sure it may cost you some extra dollars but in the end you'll be satisfied with what you are able to do and not feel limited to an out of the box content management system.
If you are looking to have a content management system developed a low cost contact us today!
Can't send email using wifi Droid X phone and using Road Runner.
I had a problem sending email when my Droid X is connecting to wifi via my router. I have Road Runner as my internet service provider. I kept getting an authentication error when sending email. When receiving email I had no problems. I used my RR's POP config that they provided. After further internet searches, there was one post that solved the problem. The solution is very simple. On the Droid X when setting up the POP configuration on the incoming server, instead of using the POP configuration they give you put this in the POP host field smtp-mobile.roadrunner.com. that's it! I hope this helps you as it did for me!

I couldn't resist throwing in one last Valentine's Day treat. This is a great last-minute dessert if you haven't nailed anything down for tonight yet. Or, it would even be a fun after school project with the kids.
Reminiscent of éclairs, these puff pastry pillows are filled with homemade vanilla pudding and drizzled with chocolate. Don't let the thought of homemade vanilla pudding scare you. It's so simple to make. With this type of dessert I like to serve the pudding warm but if you want to make it ahead and serve it cold that's possible too.
These puff pastry hearts are super simple to make, whether you have a heart-shaped cutter or not. I currently don't have one so I just used a paring knife to cut out the shapes – this way you can get a little variances in the designs, which I think is kind of fun too.
Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have a fabulous day celebrating with the ones you love. xox
- 1 sheet puff pastry (from a 17.3 oz. box), thawed
- 1 recipe vanilla pudding (below)
- 2 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1¼ cups milk, divided
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- pinch salt
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Unfold pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cut out hearts using a heart shaped cookie cutter or a paring knife*. Remove excess dough (you can bake the scraps on a separate baking sheet if you like). If you feel that the pastry has warmed up too much place back in the fridge for a couple of minutes. Bake at 400ºF for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove to wire wracks to cool.
- Once ready to serve, split puff pastry hearts in half, top bottom half with a couple spoonfuls of pudding, replace top and drizzle with chocolate. Serve immediately.
- If using a paring knife try to avoid dragging the knife through the dough as this can cause the layers to seal closed and you won't get as much puff.
- Bring 1 cup milk to a boil in a small saucepan set over medium-high heat, stirring often.
- Meanwhile mix together flour, sugar and salt. Slowly whisk in ¼ cup milk, making sure there are no lumps. Whisk in egg yolk.
- Slowly whisk flour mixture into hot milk. Bring back to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow to cool slightly, serve warm.
- To serve cold: place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding, to avoid a skin from forming, and refrigerate.

Is this a case of AT&T being able to change the terms of a contract in the middle of the contract. Meaning if I signed up last week for the $30/mo. unlimited data plan that they can limit my usage before my two year contract expires, and if I don't like it I can cancel my service and pay an ETF? Big balls for someone about to lose their butt next year.

People cannot be social workers by the nature of their job. A therapist may be called a therapist by the nature of their jobs. But you need at least a bachelor's degree to be called a social worker. Anyone stating that they are a social worker can be in trouble with the state if they do not have a degree in social work. It is a credential that cannot be loosely given, such as the title of therapist.
Some people who are social workers receive that name by nature of the jobs they hold, but they may not have training that licenses them by the state to give counseling

Our first "great" win.
Tonight's game was some of the best soccer I have ever seen our girls play. Was so delighted to see them win midfield, control the back, play wide and stop attacking right up the middle. I felt coming into this season that we had the potential to play to this level the whole season. Has taken some time and patience but believe that they can continue at this pace if they just believe that they can. Not only did we beat the 2nd place team, we shut them out completely. We dominated most of the game inside and outside. I told the girls that I wish we had a video of that game so that they could watch it and remember what a great game it was. We are keeping faith alive for the next several games and love the fact that they played that way before tournament time. Will be interesting to see if we can add to our successes.

Colorado's 25 Most Powerful Salespeople
Top producers turn prospects into customers by identifying needs – and fulfilling them
Mike Taylor
Jennifer Chang, 32
Strategic account manager, Scientific Civilian Region, Cisco Systems, Centennial
SALES PRODUCTION: Chang finished the fiscal year 2011 at 195 percent of plan and brought in $14.9 million in revenue for fiscal year 2012. She was recognized as the Cisco FY12 Achiever Winner.
WHAT SHE DOES: Manages accounts for the Department of Energy, the National Nuclear Security Administration and NASA.
HIGH PRAISE: "She works hard to understand her customers' environments and needs, and she patiently listens to her Cisco partners that work with her around the nation," said Ryan Clore, who works for a Cisco partner and nominated Chang for this award. "Even though she is on the road 70 percent of the time, she is one of the most responsive and thoughtful Cisco account managers I have ever encountered."
IMPORTANCE OF PATIENCE: "In the federal arena, deals can take months, and sometimes years, to move from request for information status to purchase-order status," Chang says. "If you've covered all your bases throughout the sales process, and architected a solution that meets your customer's needs, then you have to trust in the work that you've done, and in the customer relationship that you have cultivated."
SALES PHILOSOPHY: "I ultimately strive to become a trusted adviser to every one of my customers. This doesn't happen overnight. But it certainly is a culmination of multiple interactions and conversations, where honesty is of paramount value. If a customer has a requirement in an area that Cisco doesn't specialize in, we articulate that, and refer our customers to the appropriate vendor(s)."
ON DEDICATION: "Because my accounts are all over the nation, I'm never truly 'off the clock.' If getting the job done means staying up late and getting up early, I do it."
Joe Thurman, 28
Senior director of business development, Innovar Group, Greenwood Village
WHAT HE DOES: Specializes in developing and cultivating business relationships that ultimately produce sales for Innovar's technology staffing services. Efforts are focused on supporting C-level, director and management-level IT professionals with a responsibility for hiring IT staff to support their respective organizations.
SALES PRODUCTION: Revenue for 2011 was $4.5 million and a projected $6 million in 2012.
BACKGROUND: Raised in Colorado Springs, Thurman was a star running back in high school where he earned the nickname, "Mighty Joe." Innovar co-owner Darryl Hoogstrate says that moniker remains apt. "Joe is focused, tenacious, diligent and a leader," Hoogstrate says.
SALES ADVICE: "I don't put much stock in sales tips or tricks," Thurman says. "Rather, I feel personal and professional development is of utmost importance. While there are key skill sets such as negotiating and strategic planning one must develop as they advance in their sales career, I believe operating with best practices in life is the key to allowing a person to be the best at whatever they decide to do. I also believe that it is imperative to surround yourself with successful and driven people at work and in your personal life."
SALES PHILOSOPHY: "Sales is much more than just closing a deal," Thurman says. "In every aspect of business or personal interaction we are selling our thoughts, strategies and capabilities. In some cases, the solution to a client's problem may not be a service that I offer. However, I can help them connect the dots and continue to move their organization forward. The biggest deals come from trusted relationships that you have built and invested in over the years."
John Genell, 52
Business development executive, Grant Thornton, Denver
WHAT HE DOES: Finds new deals and grows accounts for his firm while helping everyone else become better salespeople.
SALES PRODUCTION: Genell's sales have increased every year since he joined Grant Thornton more than four years ago, including a 138 percent increase in 2012 from 2011. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, he was a top-five performer among Grant Thornton business development executives, contributing to 33 percent of total office revenue. In 2011 he was the third-highest performer for Grant Thornton nationally out of the firm's 57 U.S. offices.
SALES ADVICE: "Most people are afraid of the word 'sales,'" Genell says. "They think it means cold calling potential customers, and they're afraid of getting rejected or not knowing what to say. The truth is, everyone in an organization plays a role in the sales process whether they realize it or not. Everyone from the administrative staff to the client service team must execute their jobs to the best of their ability. When everyone does that, sales happen much more easily and each person understands their contribution to the process."
ON CLOSING: "If you want a deal bad enough, never stop going after it until the client tells you that the deal is lost," Genell says. "Even then, keep trying until the winner actually has a contract signed with the client. We were just awarded a substantial global contract with a client in the Denver office that took more than five months to close. At two different times during the sales process we were told that we were eliminated from the field of potential accounting firms. Our team never gave up wanting the deal because we believed we were the best firm for this client."
John Roelke, 44
Vice president of sales and marketing, Continental Sausage, Denver
WHAT HE DOES: Primarily responsible for all sales generation. Sales activities include food events, demos at retail partner locations, tours, tastings, sales calls, follow ups, and anything else customer related.
SALES PRODUCTION: Prior to Roelke's arrival 2 ½ years ago, sales at Continental Sausage were growing at a steady 9 percent annually. Under his sales leadership, the growth rate has more than doubled to more than 19 percent annually at a time when sales at most meat companies are declining or flat. Year-end sales for 2012 were $3.6 million, representing an increase of 41 percent since Roelke's arrival.
HIGH PRAISE: "John conducts factory tours several times per week with potential customers, chefs, chef's associations, school groups, etc. And after almost every tour, our visitors mention how incredibly passionate he is about everything we do," says Eric Gutknecht, co-owner of the second-generation family business. "They always ask if he is one of the owners or what stake he has in the business, because they are blown away by his exuberance and knowledge."
SALES TIP: "Do your homework on your business," Roelke says. "Not only know your product, but know your company, your services and have confidence in all. When introducing prospective customers to Continental, I try to give them not only samples of our wonderful products and tell them about the high-end aspect of them, but I try to give them a connection to our history, and the passion we have for our business. To me, our story is an extremely important part of what we do and how we do it. I want the customer to feel involved in that story and knowledgeable with what we are doing."
Karl Heidgen, 46
Vice president, custom sales, Pactimo LLC, Denver
WHAT HE DOES: Oversees and manages the entire sales teams in the U.S., United Kingdom and Europe and manages day-to-day operations of the custom division of Pactimo.
SALES PRODUCTION: Beginning with a sales base of $1.9 million in 2007, Heidgen's annual percentage sales growth year-over-year since then has been 38 percent in 2008; 17 percent in 2009; 14 percent in 2010; and 22 percent in 2011. His sales for 2011 were $4.2 million, up 123 percent in the four-year period from 2007 to 2011.
KEY POINTS: Heidgen has led the sales team for the past seven years, during which Pactimo has experienced double-digit growth year-over-year and named to the INC 5000 fastest-growing companies list for three of those years.
THE PACTIMO STORY: Pactimo started in a basement about 10 years ago and today is known for some of the most innovative custom technical cycling, triathlon and running apparel in the industry.
SALES TIP: "Listen before you talk … which can be difficult for many salespeople," Heidgen says. "Find out your potential customers' needs and make sure you and your products can offer them a solution BEFORE you try to sell them. Sales is relationships, so the conversation must go both ways."
HANDLING A 'NO': "No is only acceptable when dealing with your CFO, and even then you should look for a solution," Heidgen says. "Always be humble and maintain a good rapport no matter what the customer's response may be. Things may change quickly, and your professional reply to a 'no' may earn you the same business you have been chasing."
Kira McManus, 47
Director of channel sales and business development, FORTRUST, Denver
WHAT SHE DOES: Responsible for building relationships with organizations influencing premium data center requirements/colocation nationally and internationally.
SALES PRODUCTION: McManus was named employee of the year in 1995 for Nextel Communications and was the top sales performer nationally for four straight years with OneComm/Cencall Nextel. She has been responsible for more than $20 million in revenues for FORTRUST Data Center during her six years there.
LEADERSHIP: McManus currently serves as vice president of the Board of Directors for the Communications Technology Professionals of Colorado.
SALES PHILOSOPHY: "I set my intent to enter every sales opportunity focused on building the relationship with the potential customer in an altruistic fashion," McManus says. "I see so many salespeople entering the sale or a partner relationship, asking 'What can my customer do for me?' rather than what can I GIVE to them. When you enter any relationship in life with friends, partners, etc., with an attitude of 'What can I do to help this person?' I believe the energy that comes back is three-fold."
SUCCESS SECRET: "I am a connector. I connect people with others so that they may create new relationships that grow our ever-connected business/social web. I continue to foster those new connections with great care. In fact, people call me for jobs and although I am not a recruiter, I know I am helping people find great careers leveraging wonderful relationships I have fostered through the years. As a result of that effort, I have built friendships for life. Being there when someone is at the top of their game is easy. Being a friend to them when they really need help is real."
Leo Salvaggio, 35
Vice president of sales, Dynamic Solutions International, Englewood
WHAT HE DOES: Salvaggio is responsible for the optimal deployment of sales personnel including assigning sales-team quotas, making recommendations for changing sales roles, coverage models or team configurations to maximize sales productivity.
SALES PRODUCTION: Salvaggio closed roughly $4 million in sales of DSI's suite of traditional tape and Virtual Tape Library systems in 2012, representing a 25 percent increase over 2011. His clients include Rolls Royce, Ford Motor Co., the State of Michigan, Comerica Bank and Fiserv.
BACKGROUND: Salvaggio's grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1900s and settled in Detroit where he raised three sons (including Leo's father) and started his own construction firm despite limited ability to read and write. Leo was the first in the family to go to college.
SAILING THE EXTRA MILE: Salvaggio once booked a Caribbean cruise to secure a "chance encounter" with a CIO he'd been trying to track down for months. During an informal meet-and-greet at a midnight buffet on the ship, Salvaggio was able to set a formal meeting and finalized the sale a few weeks later.
SALES ADVICE: "Always operate with absolute integrity with everything that you do. It's easier to do the right thing the first time around rather than after the fact."
SALES PHILOSOPOHY: "Sales is all about listening and solving your customers' problems," Salvaggio says. "It doesn't matter how great your slides are or how amazing your product is; it's about solving your customers' problems and filling a need. It's that simple."

WHAT HE DOES: Develops new business by opening doors and creating a comfort level and affinity for Catamount Constructors. Project types include apartments, retail development, senior living and restaurants.
SALES PRODUCTION: Steller's efforts translated to roughly $70 million of Catamount's volume in 2012, and roughly $80 million in contracted or committed future work.
BACKGROUND: In addition to his bachelor's degree in construction management, Steller has a master's degree in counseling. He spent most of his career on the operations side – preconstruction and project management – allowing him to engage in in-depth conversations with prospective clients.
SALES ADVICE: "Seek the prospective client's candid unpacking of their vision, their perceived challenges, their concerns," Steller advises. "This leads to a larger sense of what is needed and facilitates a sense of how what they're looking for intersects with your capacity to assist."
ON CLOSING: "After discovering as much as possible, including listening extensively to the prospective client if given an opportunity, focus your proposal (preparation, development of materials, selection of a team) on what is uniquely needed. Prepare to a point that the interview could transition in terms of content to the next step."
SALES PHILOSOPHY: "The best precursor to a potential business opportunity is a relationship facilitated naturally, without the 'pinch' of an agenda," Steller says. "This isn't always possible, but it enables a conversational dynamic – which, when an opportunity does present, enables a more authentic discussion."
HANDLING A 'NO': "If interest is not reciprocated, keep the tone noble at your end. Don't allow a single conversation to define the potential future course of the relationship."

In the whirlwind of information about local, organic, and whole foods, it's easy to forget that our canine companions can also benefit from---and deserve---a more natural and nurturing diet. Preparing your pup's food at home may seem daunting, but it's really not, says Lew Olson in the first comprehensive guide to both raw and natural dog food. Olson discusses canine nutritional needs and explains how home-prepared foods, particularly raw foods, can meet pets' needs better than commercial, processed dog food.
An authority on canine health for over thirty years, Olson presents recipes for simple and balanced diets for pets with numerous conditions, including allergies, heart disease, cancer, and kidney and liver disease. Step-by-step instructions make preparation easy and Olson's recipes are adapted by weight for different breeds, body types, and ages. These whole-food recipes are the key to better coats, skin, teeth, and gums, as well as longer lives and more stable temperaments for any dog.
Raw & Natural Nutrition for Dogs is written for the newcomer to home-feeding as well as the seasoned raw feeder. For the many people who want to prepare their dog's diets at home but feel it might be too complex, Olson provides an easy road map to the essentials of canine wellness.
Lew Olson has written for numerous dog magazines, including The New Zealand Dog Gazette, The Rottweiler Quarterly, Mein Hund Naturich Gesund, and The Total Rottweiler. An AKC judge and the president of two dog clubs, Olson has designed several dog supplement blends. She lives in Magnolia, TX.

quote:As a higher income earner you should pay more in taxes because that's how our progressive tax code works.
quote:The truly rich are getting off, and the truly poor are getting off.
quote:Not when the national discussion is on income tax rates. Is that hard to comprehend?
quote:This is how my liberal colleagues explain it to me: Higher income earners are less affected by increased taxation than lower earners. There is a baseline amount of money a person/family needs for necessities like food, shelter, water, clothing, etc. The further you get away from this baseline amount, the less effect taxation has on a person. For instance, a person that clears $150,000 after current taxes could financially handle an additional 10% ($15,000) in taxes much more than a person who clears $50,000 after current taxes and is asked to pay 10% ($5,000) more. Their reasoning is that after additional taxation, the first person still has $135,000 of expendable income while the second would only have $45,000. Now granted, this a complete horse shite argument because nothing on the planet has ever been priced on "how it financially effects the purchaser."

I am 10-foot tall and bulletproof. I enjoy long walks on the beach, movies with happy endings, and making out with your mom. In high school, I was voted "Most likely to get shot, stabbed, or hurled off a high-rise for not keeping my goddamn mouth shut." I cried when I first heard that; but, I assure you, they were tears of joy.
My worst fear is spontaneous combustion. Just imagine: You're walking down the street; it's a beautiful day; the birds are singing; then, you F**KING EXPLODE. I pray that never happens to me, although, based on my diet, I am probably a good candidate.
I'm a Scorpio, but don't let that fool you. Not all Scorpios are as intelligent as astrologers would have you believe. I never passed the SAT because I couldn't spell it. I'm so dumb, I make Einstein look smart. Oh, and I suck at analogies (whatever that means).
My greatest advice: Dance like nobody's watching; Love like you've never been hurt; Sing like nobody's listening; And put this in your mouth while nobody's looking.

No Description Available.
FIG, South Carolina
Charleston, South Carolina 29401
Tel: 843 805 5900
Website: www.eatatfig.com
The name stands for Food Is Good, and nightly crowds at this hip local hot spot can attest to that statement. Rich but unfussy dishes are prepared with fresh organic produce and farm-raised meats. Chef Mike Lata focuses on seasonal ingredients for the daily menu, like a dessert of blueberry peach crisp studded with roasted pecans served with a custardy lemon ice cream. A stable of favorites are always on offer as well; the Wagyu bistro steak dripping with herbed butter is not for the fainthearted. The bar scene is lively on weekends, when the kitchen stays open until midnight.
Open Mondays through Thursdays 6 to 11 pm, Fridays and Saturdays 6 pm to 12 am.
Magnolia's, South Carolina
Charleston, South Carolina 29401
Tel: 843 577 7771
Website: www.magnolias-blossom-cypress.com
Magnolia's is a perfect lunchtime break when you find yourself on the tourist-heavy expanse of Bay Street. Chef Donald Barickman's cuisine has been dubbed "Uptown Down South," which seems to mean refined Southern classics served with a white-linen sensibility and a dollop of good humor on the side. His classic "Three Little Pigs" is a trio of slow-cooked barbecue pork sliders on house-baked buns with a spicy-and-sweet coleslaw on the side. The rich chive-spiked blue crab bisque is worthy of a visit all by itself.
Open Mondays through Saturdays 11:30 am to 10 pm, Sundays 11 am to 3:45 pm.
Bowens Island Seafood, South Carolina
Charleston, South Carolina 29412
Tel: 843 795 2757
Website: www.bowensislandrestaurant.com
The menu at Bowensa local institution near Folly Beachcouldn't be simpler: fried seafood year-round and fire-roasted oysters when the chill hits the Lowcountry salt marshes. The local favorite had the ultimate roller-coaster year in 2006, when owner Robert Barber accepted a James Beard award as an American culinary classic, and the old cinder-block structure that housed the restaurant caught fire and burned to the ground. The temporary digsessentially a huge screened-in boathousemake for magical evenings in warmer weather. (A full-scale renovation of the main building is expected to be completed in the spring of 2009.) Get a beer and hang out on the docks anytime around sunset and watch water-skiers skim by as shrimp boats chug along the dockside canal. Until they rebuild the old dining space, the waterfront work-around will do just fine.
Open Tuesdays through Saturdays 5 to 10 pm.
Lower King Street, South Carolina
King Street is like tofuit takes on the flavor of whatever neighborhood it's soaking in. Where it touches the College of Charleston, the businesses serve the drinking and late-night-eating needs of the student body. Storefronts along the tourist-heavy downtown area are mostly mall staples like Talbot's, Williams-Sonoma, and Banana Republic. But get to the homey stretch between Clifford and Broad, and you'll see remnants of the old, genteel Charleston reflected in a long string of independently owned antique stores and galleries. A'Riga IV stocks antique objets d'art like decorative brass saddle ornaments, 18th-century porcelain cameos, and even a colorfully painted Italian apothecary jar dated 1690. Head down the street a bit to George C. Birlant for English silver, crystal, and china from the 18th and 19th centuries. For more wearable art, head to Ben Silver, which has kept local dandies looking sharp since 1929. The shop is known for exquisite tailoring, brass buttons, and regimental striped ties; its tradition of sending a welcome gift to incoming presidents has netted many thank-you notes from Commanders in Chief from Truman forward.
A'Riga IV open Mondays through Saturdays 10:30 am to 4:30 pm.
Geo. C. Birlant & Company open Mondays through Saturdays 9 am to 5:30 pm.
Ben Silver Chalreston open Mondays through Saturdays 9 am to 6 pm, Sundays 12 to 5 pm.

Historic Homes and Sites, South Carolina
Charleston's gorgeous antebellum homes make it one of the most well-preserved cities in the Deep South. It's easy to see them on foot and various companies offer guided walking tours, including Charleston Strolls (843-766-2080; www.charlestonstrolls.com). Or go house hopping via horse-drawn carriage operated by Old South Carriage Company (14 Anson St., 843-723-9712; www.oldsouthcarriagetours.com).
Can't-miss homes include the Nathaniel Russell House (51 Meeting St.; 843-724-8481; www.historiccharleston.org). Built in 1808, this townhouse mansion, with its three-story free-flying spiral staircase, is one of the finest neoclassical dwellings in the district. The Aiken-Rhett House, a Charleston double-house, has survived unaltered since 1858 and includes an art gallery and a marble staircase with mahogany railings (48 Elizabeth St.; 843-723-1159; www.historiccharleston.org). Located in the original walled portion of the city, the Heyward Washington House is the former home of Thomas Heyward, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and was also the setting for author Dubose Heyward's Porgy (87 Church St.; 843-722-2996; www.charlestonmuseum.org).
West of town, the Ashley River Historic District is a 13-mile national scenic highway featuring 53 historical sites including Magnolia Plantation (www.magnoliaplantation.com), Drayton Hall (www.draytonhall.org), and Middleton Place (www.middletonplace.org), which is also a hotel and restaurant.
For a taste of haunted Charleston, Bulldog Tours (40 North Market St.; 843-722-8687; www.bulldogtours.com) runs twice-nightly jaunts through city graveyards, spooky houses, and dungeons.

Charleston, South Carolina 29401
Tel: 843 720 1990
Website: www.scaquarium.org
More than 10,000 types of low-country critters, including loggerhead turtles the size of a car, pythons, alligators, and sharks, call this huge aquarium home. Watch them through the three huge "windows" of the massive, two-story, 300,000-gallon tank. One measures 17-by-28-feet high, the tallest in any aquarium ever built. There's also a huge Touch Tank with slippery sea urchins and horseshoe crabs ready for grabbing. Two-thirds of the aquarium is built over the Cooper River, with decks for viewing dolphins and ships in Charleston Harbor.

Beaches in Charleston, South Carolina
Less than 20 minutes from downtown are two popular public beaches: Folly Beach (Ashley Avenue) and Isle of Palms (14th Avenue). Both are run by the Charleston County Parks Commission (843 795 4386; www.ccprc.com ) and have 600 feet of beachfront, lifeguards, snack bars, restrooms, outdoor showers, and umbrella and chair rental. Entry fee: $5 per car.
Sullivan's Island (1610 Middle St.; 843 883 3198; www.sullivansisland-sc.com ), a barrier island north of Charleston harbor, has a three-mile-long beach and modern-day lighthouse. There's also Fort Moultrie, a significant monument of coastal defense built in 1809. Watch where you park; police dole out tickets for cars blocking driveways in this hoity-toity enclave.
In The Mood For Love
Routine is the death of desire. We're not sure who said that (fine, we'll take credit), but it was a truism in the Ozzie & Harriet generation, and it's doubly so today. As work blurs far beyond the 9-to-5 hours and into you and your mate's "alone" time, there might only be one answer: Get outta town. Contrary to popular belief, travel for the sake of spicing things up doesn't require fussy French food, whirlpool tubs, or overly precious B&Bs. Depending on your mood—and your marriage—a tango lesson in Buenos Aires (pictured), a ski trip to Quebec, or a night out in Prague might be what the doctor ordered. So, remember: Sometimes love hurts. Figure out what's ailing your relationship, and then take our cure—a Valentine's Day trip sure to put you back into the hot zone.
Summer Seafood
In the summer months, as the mercury goes up-up-up, we all think about the joys of jumping into the water. But there are those of us who think about what's jumping around in the water, toofish and clams and all sorts of succulent shellfish. Lucky for us, summer also happens to be when the lobster shacks of New England throw open their weathered doors, when Chesapeake crabbers mix up their secret spice blends, when salmon smokers are lighted all over the Pacific Northwest. Let's face it: Nothing says summer like a sweet fried clam with a spritz of lemon, or a fish taco doused with guacamole and salsa, or a pile of freshly shucked lobster meat on a soft split bun. Get out your crackersand your flippersfor our tour of the summer's best seafood spots.

Great American Beach Towns
Enough with your fancy remote beaches. The Maldives? St. Tropez? With the economy what it is, we'll be lucky to get to the next state on a $73 tank of gas. We want close. We want old-fashioned. We want a town where we can park the car, drag a beach chair and a book to the sand, and then shuffle down the boardwalk in our flip-flops for fried clams and an icy-cold can of beer: a place with fireworks, friendly locals, and sticky scoop shops. So we dug up 11 great American seaside escapes, from classic fun-in-the-sun California to New England colonial charm. Because when it comes to precious summer weekends in the sun, there's no place like home.

Friday 6 Mar 2015
By Nicole Swengley. Web onlyPublished online: 10 October 2011
LONDON. When Marc Benda of the New York gallery, Friedman Benda, unveils a major presentation of ceramics by the Italian designer, Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007), at the Pavilion of Art & Design in London, it will be the first time that many of these pieces from the 1950s and 1960s have appeared in public. It's the right time, Benda says, to dedicate his booth to the arch-postmodernist. "Scholarship and interest has increased significantly since we started holding annual gallery shows of Sottsass in 2003," he says.
His confidence is echoed by other PAD exhibitors. London-based Lamberty Antiques is showing two Joe chairs, shaped like giant baseball gloves (£9,500 and £11,500), from a 1990 edition of the 1971 design by Italian architects, Gionatan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino and Paolo Lomazzi (sourced from collector Tom Watkins) and a late 1980s edition of Ettore Sottsass's 1981 Carlton Bookcase (£12,500). Meanwhile London gallerist David Gill is exhibiting two limited edition "superbox" cabinets, signed and dated by Ettore Sottsass (Rolling Stones, £45,000; Omaggio a Honda, £75,000). Originally created in 1966 as prototypes for Italian design company Poltronova, Gill's cabinets were fabricated in 2005 with Sottsass's consent. "More people are looking at collecting named and limited pieces and Ettore Sottsass is among the most important names of the 20th century," says Gill. An early pioneer in postmodern sales, Chicago-based auction house Wright frequently sees results exceeding estimates. Alessandro Mendini's 1979 Kandissa mirror fetched $11,250 in March (est $2,000-$3,000). And last year a 1969 vase from Ettore Sottsass' "Yantra" series sold for $13,750 (est $5,000-$7,000), a limited edition 1984 Michael Graves tea service for Alessi achieved $20,000 (est $7,000-$9,000) and a pair of 1978 Robert Venturi Sheraton chairs fetched $17,500 (est $3,000-$5,000). "From a market perspective, valuations are still evolving," says Richard Wright. "Early and rare works by Ettore Sottsass represent the top prices achieved at auction with prices reaching six figures. Yet all the major postmodern designers sell for a wide range of prices and interesting pieces can be bought for under $2,000, even for Sottsass. It is an exciting field to collect in as the history of the period is still largely to be written and the top works of period are still coming to market."Although postmodernism remains contentious—a triumph of style over substance, critics say—the first in-depth survey of art, design and architecture in the 1970s and 1980s, currently showing at the V&A, is triggering interest. "Postmodernism is being critically appraised and freshly reviewed from an art history perspective because we've now got a degree of distance," says Simon Andrews, a senior specialist at Christie's 20th-century decorative art and design department. Still, postmodern designs remain benignly accessible. "There's more availability than for some other periods of 20th-century design," says Benda. Christopher Wilk, the V&A's curator of furniture, textiles and fashion, cites one reason: "Many pieces in the show, such as Nathan Silver's Adhocist chair, were acquired from, or through, the original designers." And Joy McCall, the head of Christie's 20th-century decorative art and design department, explains: "Much of the furniture is quite large and needs space for display, so original collectors are now ready to sell for the practical reason that many are at the 'downsizing' age and looking to reduce their collections." Keith Johnson, a big postmodern collector with "hundreds of pieces" at home or in storage, sold 12 works including Ettore Sottsass' Murmansk silver fruit bowl, Peter Shire's Bel Air chair and Javier Mariscal's Hilton Bar Trolley to the V&A and gifted four further pieces. Johnson, who is president of New York's Urban Architecture gallery, says prices have been rising since the V&A show was announced. "I love the cacophony of ideas, concepts and influences in postmodern design. I do believe these are the antiques of the future," he says. Indeed any museum collection embracing the 1970s and 1980s must crucially include postmodernism—an endorsement increasingly reflected in the market. "Collectors are going after Sottsass, the Memphis collective and 'art' designers like Aldo Rossi and Alessandro Mendini," says Charles Jencks, author of The Story of Post-Modernism. Still, he believes "connoisseurship is embryonic" and "the market is in its infancy or early childhood"."Postmodernism was taken over by big brands and companies in the mid-1980s and sank under the weight of corporate kitsch," he explains. "By the 1990s it was the most hated movement of the 20th century. But it was re-born after 2000 with iconic buildings like the Bird's Nest Stadium and has roared back without the [movement's] name." Comparing postmodernism to "Art Deco but with more intellect", he believes the market will slowly grow and "in time become as big because so much was produced".Wilk cites further reasons for likely growth: "Aesthetically, people are finding the colours and styles of the furniture go with their pictures and, while there's a lot of competition for the earliest versions of pieces, even the top of the market seems relatively affordable compared with contemporary 'design art' furniture." Andrews agrees that "prices are relatively modest. It's possible to buy the best example of the most important work for less than £20,000" although he cautions that "it's important to distinguish the key pieces—those that speak most eloquently of their moment in time and have something new to offer in terms of a dialogue with art history".One of the movement's most iconic designs—a Proust armchair commissioned from Alessandro Mendini in 1981 by the current owner—goes on sale at Bonhams' "Contemporary Two" auction this month with an estimate of £20,000-£30,000. Meanwhile an upcoming sale at Christie's offers a selection by the Milan-based Memphis collective founded in 1981 by Ettore Sottsass, including the 1981 Beverly sideboard (est £6,000-£8,000) and the 1982 silver Murmansk Centrepiece (est £7,000-£9,000), both designed by Sottsass. Data collated by online design forum, a href="http://www.detnk.com">DeTnk, from five of the world's largest auction houses over the past six years clearly defines postmodernism's place in the market. In a quarterly update, it reveals that postmodern sales accounted for around 8% of the secondary market's total volume of sales between January and May 2011. Postmodernism accounted for 374 lots with a total value of £6,865,564 compared with 259 lots of contemporary work valued at £2,778,036. It fared less well compared with post-war modern work (1,421 lots valued at £14,495,408) and Art Deco (1,041 lots valued at £38,091,503). However the average price per lot reveals an interesting twist. "At £18,357 per lot, postmodern works are higher than contemporary (£10,726) and post-war modern (£10,201) and second only to Art Deco (£36,591)," says the report's editor-in-chief, Benjamin Faga. "This leads me to believe that while the postmodern sector still constitutes very little of the collectible design market, the values of these objects are rising.""Postmodernism is still an acquired taste," says Benda. "It's not a market with clear price-levels. It's a connoisseur's market. Looks and style are dictating prices at the moment and certain aesthetic pieces are commanding high prices. As people learn more about the art history, though, the market will start reflecting this."Pavilion of Art & Design, runs from 12-16 October, Berkeley Square, London W1 "Contemporary Two" sale takes place on 19 October at Bonhams, 13 Montpelier Street, London SW7"20th Century Decorative Art & Design" sale takes place on 25 October at Christie's London, 8 King Street, London SW1Postmodernism: Style and Subversion 1970-1990 runs until 8 January 2012 at the V&A, Cromwell Road, London SW1The Story of Post-Modernism: Five Decades of the Ironic, Iconic and Critical in Architecture by Charles Jencks (£24.99) is published by a href="http://www.wiley.com">Wiley
