Back in 1998, I underwent a very peculiar experience, indeed, thus far at least, a once-in-a-lifetime event, which opened many doors for me and confirmed some of the directions I had previously chosen.

The Grapevine (Jan. 4)
Designer Q&A
Q: I am in the market for a zebra rug. Should I buy new or hold out for an antique hide to accent my library? And when did animal prints become popular in home decor?
A: Jennifer Boles, interior design blogger and author of "In With the Old: Classic Decor from A to Z," answers: I adore animal prints, especially leopard spots. Animal prints were actually popular back in Napoleon's day. I suggest holding out for an antique hide because they have a nice-looking patina. One alternative that I really like are hooked rugs that look like zebra skins.

Alarm clock goes 'smart'
Remember when an alarm clock just woke you?
Now there's one that helps plan your day.
Paired with a smartphone, Quirky's Wink Nimbus clock can be customized to tell you whatever you need to know the first thing in the morning – perhaps the traffic report, or your schedule, or even how your latest Facebook post is faring. The clock has four screens, each of which displays the information you choose. The information updates constantly, just as on a smartphone.
The Nimbus comes in black or white. It's available for $89 at Home Depot and its website, HomeDepot.com, and also sells for $129.99 at Quirky.com.

New Nell Hill's book
Mary Carol Garrity, owner of Nell Hill's home-decor stores in Atchison and Kansas City, Mo., has written her eighth book, "Rooms We Love" ($29.99, Andrews McMeel Publishing). It visits four houses that were decorated using Garrity's and friends' tricks of the trade.
For instance, former Wichitan Marsee, owner of an English Tudor, has stylishly disguised kitchen cleaning utensils by placing them in a footed silver tray. Annie added a soulful feel to the dining room in her newly built country home by using various styles of chairs, including two large wingbacks. And Julie included a seating area in her large master bedroom, which is done up with tailored gray walls and creamy houndstooth fabric.
Every home in the book has at least one seating area (a couple of comfy chairs with a table in between). They're apparently integral to the design of a home.

Isadore Sharp started out with a hotel 52 years ago in Toronto, headquarters to privately held Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts. Four Seasons Hotels &... View Enlarged Image
Since he opened his first hotel in Toronto in 1961, everyone has told Isadore Sharp that he was crazy.
His locations were wrong.
His refusal to cut rates during downturns was suicidal.
He was giving front line workers too much authority.
"I knew that what our customers valued most was superior service," Sharp, the 81-year-old founder and chairman of Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, told IBD. "To get that, we needed to be treating our employees the way we expected them to treat our customers."
Today, Four Seasons manages the operations of 90 hotels in 36 countries, including 25 of the 181 superstars properties in the Conde Nast Traveler Platinum Circle . Last year's revenue for the privately held company was $3.8 billion.
Toronto Start
Sharp was born in Canada's largest city in 1931 to Polish immigrants. His father was a plasterer, and the family moved 15 times in Isadore's first 16 years.
One day his father broke his shoulder while using a horse and plough to excavate a basement.
"He shrugged it off and uncomplainingly kept on working, something I never forgot," wrote Sharp in "Four Seasons: The Story of a Business Philosophy."
Starting out, his father misread the plans of his first job and agreed to a price that covered only half the building. He finished it anyway without complaint. "It became for me an invaluable lesson in business ethics," Sharp wrote.
After graduating from college with a degree in architecture at 21, Isadore was put in charge of his father's construction company.
At 24, his interest in hotels was sparked by building a small one for a friend. When he married Rosalie Wise that year, he booked their wedding night at a hotel near the Toronto airport because he had heard it was tops and wanted to see why. The hotel didn't cut it after all, making him think: "If a hotel like this was making lots of money, it shouldn't be hard to build one that would make a lot more."
Sharp kept building houses and apartments, but was obsessed with hotels. So he pitched financial backers on the need for a 100-room version downtown. All he heard was gloom, that it wouldn't make it because of the location.
Sharp persisted. After convincing subcontractors and vendors to extend credit, he collected enough funding to start construction.
The Four Seasons was born.
His naming of the resort 52 years ago came from the translation of a hotel in Germany that one of his investors had stayed in.
All the while, Sharp was carefully observing hotels he stayed in.
Coming from a family of women, he knew they would never wash their hair with soap. The answer was putting shampoo in his rooms — one of many innovations, such as bigger and thicker towels, that became industry standards.
Without enough money to advertise, Sharp relied on publicity.
He made the Four Seasons dining room a highlight with premium beef dishes that drew food critics.
He enticed the host of a radio celebrity interview show to broadcast live from the restaurant.
He borrowed a high-end retailer's customer mailing list and sent invitations to the 1961 grand opening, which was covered by the local newspaper's society columnist.
With the Four Seasons making a solid profit, he sought another spot, this time for a 200-room resort.
His reputation as a straight shooter attracted a bank loan, but he knew that if the resort failed, he would be in debt the rest of his life.
He advanced with his vision for a hotel that would become the model for future Four Seasons, emphasizing an unprecedented level of awareness of the needs for the most demanding customers.
In the resort, he introduced ultra-comfortable mattresses and built it in a way that plumbing and electrical sounds would not disturb customers. "I knew that what they wanted more than anything was a good night's sleep," Sharp said.
As he expanded the chain, his other fresh ideas became the industry norm: makeup mirrors, minibars, 24/7 room service, nonsmoking floors, gyms, concierges.
Sharp's lesson is to get into customers' minds and ask what your industry should provide.
The recession of the early 1970s brought Sharp close to bankruptcy.
Rather than throw in the towel, he made two vital changes to the business model.
1. He turned Four Seasons into a brand manager with only a small ownership stake in each location.
2. He concentrated on operating only midsize luxury hotels that would be known for having consistently top quality.
Up Close With Clients
"Quality control is a misnomer because it can't truly be installed through elaborate appraisal systems, inspection or quality training, as you can see looking at all the motivation and management programs," said Sharp. "They don't consider how the customer sees things, which is they want the most value for their money.
"Most companies have traditionally treated frontline employees as expendable. We wanted them treated as an elite group, and that required turning the style of management that had been prevalent for a century upside down."
This required retraining for every position — changing managers from bosses into behind-the-scenes coaches for those interfacing with customers.
The frontline workers were empowered to make crucial decisions without risk of punishment.
"We found that people will rise to the expectations you have for them," said Sharp. "We hired those who had the right personality, rather than the best resumes."
This opened the way for another Four Seasons innovation: creating histories of guest preferences, with employees providing feedback.
Now each hotel could provide highly customized service. Not surprisingly, Four Seasons has been on Fortune's list of 100 Best Companies to Work For since the magazine instituted the ranking in 1998.
Sharp's management lesson is to push responsibility downward in the organization.
Each Four Seasons facility has distinctive touches, from local cuisine to the decor, rather than following a cookie-cutter approach.
In this area, Sharp involves his wife, Rosalie, an award-winning interior designer.
Their children inherited the entrepreneurial gene, but not one to become hoteliers.
Jordy formed a bluegrass music group and record company and owns restaurants.
Gregory worked for Four Seasons' information management before starting his own software firm.
Anthony spent time in the vacation ownership department before becoming an independent broker of time-share resorts.
"For half a century, Four Seasons has had its ups and downs, but through it all, Issy has always remained positive and, as a result, so do the people around him," Lionel Schipper, a Four Seasons board member since 1988, told IBD. "No matter what happens, he's enthusiastic, totally committed and approachable. He's a very good listener, very patient and lives the Golden Rule. People like him, like working for him and trust him."
Four Seasons has 60 projects under development. Headquarters in Toronto employs 400, while the hotels have about 40,000 workers.
The maintenance of high standards let Four Seasons survive the recession in good shape. "We have always been able to charge a premium because we offer a value for that," Sharp said. "Size doesn't affect our ability to control the quality of service because we know how to hire, train and manage the people who deliver the Four Seasons experience. We could grow to 250 properties or more and still be known as the brand that is more consistent than any other."
In April, Sharp was inducted into the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, an organization of leaders (including Canadians) who have overcome adversity and want to help young people who show promise of success.
Doing What's Right
At the Alger ceremony in Washington, D.C., he spoke about the importance of business integrity.
"Ethics," he told IBD, "plays a big role in how individuals and companies form their principles. If everyone had been more concerned about the ethical outcome of what they were doing, the world wouldn't have suffered through the financial problems of recent years. At Four Seasons, treating others well, trust and integrity are at the center of everything we do."

Population and environment in Northern Italy during the sixteenth century
No general consensus has been reached, as yet, on how to interpret sixteenth century Italian demographic dynamics. Such divergences reflect different convictions about the relationship between population and resources. On the basis of 164 series of baptisms celebrated in northern Italian parishes and adopting a comparative perspective, this paper progressively evaluates the demographic weight of environmental factors (location in lowland, mountain or coastal areas; urban or rural environment; for rural areas, different settlement patterns and crop regimes), and provides new insight into the relationship between population and resources (Malthusian, ?Boserupian?, or something else?). The paper reveals a complex situation, where environmental and socioeconomic factors have an impact not only on demographic trends but also on the very model of population change, and where advances in agrarian technology do not always play a demographically positive role.

I think I might be pg with twins. I have a high chance of conceiving them because this is my 6th pregnancy, I have been pregnant before with twins (that I lost), I was taking fertility meds, and I am almost 43. I temp TTCing for over 5 years so I know when I O. When I do O I get major cramping that lasts an hour. This last O I had extreme pain twice in the same day. The first being at 5:30PM and then it happened again at 8:30PM. So I am pretty sure I popped out 2 eggs. My symptoms have been extremely intense compared to the other 5 pregnancies even with the twins. Extreme exhaustion, I just cannot keep awake. Super Hungry, I just cant stop eating and everything is tasting sooooo good!! My boobs are extremely sore. I have been having major gas. My uterus has been feeling like its in overdrive. Lots of popping pains, ligament pulling pains, a full feeling etc. major nausea here and there and my stomach popped out within 2 wks!! Which shocked me. I think I implanted late so I dont know what to think about my Betas. My first draw was at 19dpo and it was 158 then in 48 hours it more then doubled to 364. Also my Progesterone was really high at 58.9. I just have this feeling there are 2.
Also (you might think I am crazy) but I have had readings from a bunch of psychics. They all said I was going to conceive twins and most said a boy & girl. They all said I would conceive when I did so now I am waiting to see if they are right about the twins.
So what do all you girls think?? I would love some opinions!! I am getting my Ultrasound done on Friday so I will know then If I am having twins or not. Thanks!!

I have had different opinions around this topic.
Positive: It increases the speed at which children can calculate and arrive at a good move.
Negative: If played frequently the children can start avoiding comprehensive thinking before making a move.
Your thoughts please.
I agree with your positive and negative assertions, but I think they should be introduced to blitz and should be able to choose whatever type of chess they wish to play. Whatever makes it fun and interesting for them
Raghav8, your concerns are valid. Depending on the age of children I would limit the amount of blitz played as it develops bad habits such as quick thinking and dependence upon openings.
I think that a combination of all kinds of chess would be most beneficial for them but would probably limit blitz, as it is the most attractive form of chess.
As an elementary student, I dislike blitz,I find it has enforced more rushed and careless move making in normal games.
my chess life...
age 4: learned to play chess
age 6: chess club (elementary)
age 10 - present: BLITZ + Tournaments
I have found that both quick games and computer chess induce carelessness in my children, however I play many quick games with them so that they develop a "feel" for different types of openings and immediate recognition of tactical opportunities.
In my experience, little children always play blitz, even with half an hour on the clock. They really need to be persuaded to slow down and more importantly, they need a reason to think. If you stress it too much they may become slower, but they won't actually think about the position. This type of deep thinking is usually seen quite late, around age 10 and up.
I think you can only offer blitz and slower games, offer the right instructions and hope they slow down on their own.
Dutchday, you make a good point. In addition, they seem to enjoy a quicker game and it is important that they enjoy chess at ages 5 & 7 or they will not want to keep learning.
I have recently found that a good way to train careful thought is to have them do tactics problems, or they will look over my shoulder as I do them online. Then I walk them through some part of the combination and they will figure out the rest.
Hmm, im not entirely sure to be honest its a tough one. I agree with the positives and negatives mentioned, but i do think its more important that they do learn that comprehensive level.
I always played from blitz and i feel like its stunted my ability to improve. Obviously not completely but somewhat. Now im very impatient with long games so i need blitz. Also children are at there best learning age when young so its best to learn then rather than later.
Comprehensive chess is like the foundation, then they can build on that by moving into blitz and bullet etc :)
Just my opinion anyway :D
In my opinion Blitz is very interesting and develops tactics very well.
It depends on the goal. If it is to have fun, blitz is fine. If it is to get better but have no serious goal in mind, then it is bad. If you want to get them reay for a serious event, then blitz get the mused to a clock, helps them work on time management, and also helps them t ohave their opening moves prepared
It depends on what your objectives are. Blitz might teach them that they do not need to think in order to play chess.
I don't think that kids (anyone) can play chess with out thinking. You have to think to make a legal move.
and yes I do know what you ment but you need to work on your choice of words

Three men involved in one of Australia's largest cocaine importation hauls have been sentenced to jail terms of up to 20 years.
Yiu Yim, 36, Pak Lau, 34, and Samuel Yung, 21, were involved in the importation of more than 200 kilograms of pure cocaine, with an estimated street value of more than $170 million.
The Victorian Supreme Court was told the drugs were shipped from Brazil, hidden in a container of lawnmowers.
Officials discovered 271 one kilogram blocks of cocaine in eight crates that arrived in Melbourne in August last year.
In sentencing Justice Forrest said it was one of the biggest cocaine hauls ever detected by authorities.
Yim and Lau pleaded guilty to importing a commercial quantity of a border-controlled substance.
Yung admitted to attempting to possess more than 60 kilos of cocaine mix.
Lau was sentenced to 20 years, Yim was sentenced to 19 years, and Yung was sentenced to 11 years in jail.

First games start at 7pm, with subsequent games to follow as soon as all tables are done. (We time all games tournament style so 2 hrs is the limit.)
All players are welcome to borrow a deck if they don't have one handy.
Trading is also encouraged, although as people don't normally bring spare cards it is wise to solicit and organise trades beforehand.
We sometimes play other games too and there is space for non-V:TES players to do their own thing if they like.
I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.
