Susan Mitchell purchased this condo in 2011
We bought Billy's Blue Heaven because we LOVE the restaurant Ricky's Blue Heaven and noticed that the two properties are only 300 steps apart. This also means we are on the GORGEOUS Truman Annex steps from the Green Parrot, Duval Street, Pool and Fort Zachary State Park and Beach! We love the whirlpool bathtub and having 2 balconies.
We fell in LOVE with Key West and Truman Annex 30 years ago when the area was being developed. It's a dream come true to own and share this beautiful condo!
Thank you for another amazing vacation. We just love your condos and hospitality. We would highly recommend any of Susan's condos. The surroundings are so relaxing and peaceful, along with a wonderfully stocked condo. This condo is within walking distance of everything. Susan's suggestions on dining and fun things to do are wonderful. You must have the blueberry pancakes at Billy's Blue Heaven, they are the best ever. Thanks again, we hope to see you again soon!
We rented Billies Blue Haven and loved the room and Amenities it gave us. We were in Key West for a conference, a writing environment, and a Romantic week together. This place supplied all our needs. The Kitchen, the Washer & Dryer, the bikes, and the proximity were great.
The only issue was the internet connection, and some pounding next door one night, but the rest was great!
We enjoyed snorkeling, walking on the beach and ease of access to shopping.
We would recommend this place to others spending time in Key West! Thank You!
First, the only con: It is a smallish unit with one bathroom-we dealt with it.
The location was better than anything we could have hoped for. Being first timers in KW we really weren't sure where to be. It was perfect, MINUTES on the bikes to Fort Taylor Beach, like 10 minutes, cause we went to the wrong street, so probably only like 7. Blue Heaven Restaurant 2-3 minute walk. Duvall St., 4-5 minutes. I biked to the beach by Salute! (I forget the name) when my husband was off fishing, and had a great day, eating Key Lime Pie on the beach. The condo was clean, had lots of amenities, extra towels, very comfy bed ( and I am picky), and really best of all, quiet. That back patio for morning coffee was the icing on the cake, the foliage is so lush and tropical. We only cooked breakfast, but there is a very well equipped kitchen. I soaked in that tub almost everyday. And the TVs were good for the days we just vegged out on the couch. There are 2 little stores within walking distance, and we used the bikes daily. We really enjoyed the Conch Republic restaurant down by the marina, and that Kermit KW Key Lime Pie place near there. Being in the Truman Complex made me feel safe, and the neighborhood was interesting. We are already wanting to plan another trip, to further explore the keys. We will be using Billie's as our base. We would definitely recommend this property to family/friends. I have already done so. And yes, the Karma Box was a nice touch. Thanks Susan for a great VACA!
We had a fantastic time at Susan's condo. It was nice to be back in Key West! The space was gorgeous, the back deck wonderful, and everything was so close! We had chocolates and a bottle of wine waiting for us. So thoughtful, and such a great start to our vacation.
Had a wonderful 2 week stay in charming 2nd floor 2 br condo with great access to all the main attractions in Key West. Everything easily walkable with bikes also available so no need for rental car. Pool very convenient and entire Truman Annex neighborhood very picturesque. Plenty of great restaurants and night spots nearby.
Billy's Blue Heaven offered me, and three girlfriends, a week of so much compacted fun and exercise that I felt as though I had a month's vacation in one week! Early morning bike rides, beach walking, ocean dips, pool swims, educational visits to the Fort and Museum, main meal out most days accompanied by live music, fresh shrimp meal in magnificent kitchen, Film Festival, plays, playwrights' panel, boating, carnival acts, comfy bed and excellent accommodations make Susan's Condos a superlative vacation!
Walking or biking we got to most destinations in ten to fifteen minutes. I traveled light, two pair of sandals and a small carry-on; it was easy and convenient to wash clothes in our own condo. There is a close food store. Seeing the vibrant sunsets feeds the soul.
I would return in a heartbeat if a magic genie made that possible!
This condo two blocks from Duval Street and is 300 steps from Ricky's Blue Heaven! You are only a couple blocks from The Green Parrot. The closest residential location to Fort Zachary State Park and Beach. You are in the heart of Old Town, Mallory Square (sunset celebration) and on the grounds of Harry Truman's Little White House.

The company's software subscribers are generally satisfied, but Adobe still faces critics who don't like its 2013 decision to cease developing its Creative Suite software.
Adobe launches some new mobile apps and its first hardware, plus a new software development kit that it hopes will bring in third-party supporters.
The problem with the subscription service, which blocked updates, purchases, and in some case use of Adobe's software, is fixed, and Adobe apologizes.
After 24 hours of trouble with its subscription plan, including people being locked out of software, Adobe says it's fixing it.
Adobe delivers a strong fiscal quarter, despite a drop in net income, and ups its outlook for the second as it continues to garner cloud momentum.
The Creative Cloud subscription angered many customers, but 57 percent of those who signed up will continue to use it, a new survey by CNET and Jefferies finds.
Jefferies and CNET are conducting a new survey about Adobe's subscription program and increasingly elderly CS6 software. Will you renew? What competing products have you bought?
There are plenty of detractors to the $50-per-month plan, but Adobe was persuasive enough to increase subscriptions by 331,000 in its most recent quarter.
The application was hacked just a day or so after it officially launched with an eye on curbing Creative Suite piracy.
Adobe's controversial all-Creative Cloud transition for its Creative Suite applications is now available to subscribers.

MICHELLE SEGRE Lost Songs of the Filamentby Sharon L. Butler
A great deal of recent art found in global biennials and blue-chip galleries (think of Damien Hirst's spots or Kehinde Wiley's portraits) is made by teams of acolytes under an art superstar's supervision. By definition, this kind of outsourcing is not possible unless the work is formulaic—which means the artist must subordinate the risk-taking, experimental phase of the artmaking process, the stage in which an artist asks the simple question "What if…?" Replacing this is a corporate model that implicitly values production and efficiency over inspiration and insight. In a recent Art in America article, Ossian Ward suggests that these marquee artists, making ever bigger and more extravagant projects, are engaged in a kind of super-monumentalism. "I think artist colleagues fear that they will be pushed in the corner and forgotten," Thomas Schutte tells Ward. "It's competing with Hollywood: Who has got the biggest? Who has the longest? Who is the richest?"
Arguably, the inner need for discovery that compelled the artists to make art in the first place has given way to a penchant for spectacle. For artists working in this theatrical mode, making work is about many things—ensuring placement in museums and prominent collections, perpetuating fame, maintaining a lifestyle—but perhaps not so much about the work itself. There is no question what the materials will be used for. The final outcome is a given.
From this perspective, Michelle Segre is gratifyingly old-school. The question "What if…?" permeates each piece in Lost Songs of the Filament, her affably invigorating installation at Derek Eller. Large-scale, idiosyncratic sculptures handmade with wire, thread, metal mesh, rocks, shells, and more, some areas slathered with paint, clay, and papier-mâché, converge precariously in the gallery, teetering above the viewer with plenty of attitude yet no malice. Segre's process involves craft techniques such as wrapping, weaving, and knotting, but she applies them with a resolutely intuitive, what-the-hell inventiveness that cheerfully rejects the customary rigidity of craft.
This is not to say that Segre's pieces lack calculation or intent. Indeed, the show's title, referring to what might emerge undetected from the thin fiber that conducts energy in a light bulb, pretty clearly summons the everyday wonders we might overlook. Repurposing unusual materials for the bases of the sculptures, she effectively joins eclecticism and imperfection. In "Godzeye" (2011), for instance, she turns a found cedar mailbox, decorated to look like a horse barn, on its side, fills it with plaster, and sticks the spine-like pole the rest of the sculpture is built around into it. Before drying, the wet plaster seeped out of the mailbox seams, leaving little hardened pools of plaster behind.
For "The Collector" (2012), she stacks two milk cartons vertically, gobs on some plaster and paint, and sticks the pole through the crate's latticework. By this paradoxically self-conscious and casual process, the inside of the crates become little niches for objects, one of which is a big glob of wax (or plasticene?), crudely painted and frenetically assaulted with toothpicks, like a fifth grader's three-dimensional model of a microscopic organism. "The Collector" looks like a big spider web in which objects, including two pitchforks, small rocks, a large red plaster-and-string orb, and seashells, have gotten hopelessly stuck. Unlike the other pieces, "Once Upon a Time the End" (2011) is low to the ground, and rests on the floor. The title, which leaves out the fairy tale's substantive middle, captures both the visual openness of the piece and Segre's open-minded approach.
Her unflagging belief in following her intuition in the moment conjures Rauschenberg, and, visually, the snaking, clotty lines, punctuated with odd colorful shapes, recall Miró's Surrealist paintings and Calder's wire sculptures from the 1920s. But her work, fundamentally different from that of contemporary high-yield art superstars, is at least reactively of our time. Like Rachel Harrison, Segre embraces an anti-monumental approach to traditional sculptural forms as she ties, shreds, and tangles her way through dozens of spools of thread, balls of string, and strands of Gimp to arrive at each piece. In the future, such reliance on non-archival materials and precarious construction techniques may give conservators palpitations. But today, when it's brand new, illuminating the rewards of impulsive abandon next to so many formulaic, soulless contrivances, Lost Songs of the Filament is just right.

One night he was doing stock work in the basement, and, the next day, we discovered that, along with stocking, hed scrawled Collins poems on large sheets of paper and taped them all around. They stayed hanging up the rest of the time I worked at the bookstore, neither offensive nor in-enough to matter. They were mental furniture.

Headset Button Controller
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your lists
+ By Christoph Kober
Headset Button Controller is very configurable, allowing you to play music, change tracks, adjust volume, answer phone calls, start Voice Command and many other things, just by clicking the button on your headset.
Headset Button Controller is shipped with a powerful default configuration, but you can change almost every action performed. Once you have configured it with your preferences, it runs in the background using almost no CPU. It has been tested with a wide variety of different Android devices and music apps and works with both single-button headsets, and Android-specific 3-button headsets.
Default configuration for single-button headsets (center button for 3-button headsets):
* Single press: play / pause (+ answer call / end call)
* Double press: next track (+ decline call / mute microphone)
* Triple press: previous track
* Quadruple press: previous track (2x)
* Long press: Volume control [2]
* Press and hold: Fast forward [3]
* Double press and hold: Rewind [3]
* Triple press and hold: disabled
All of the above options are configurable to any of the following:
* Stop
* Play / pause
* Next track
* Previous track
* Previous track (2x)
* Mute / unmute
* Voice command
* Voice search
* Redial last number
* Say current time (Text-To-Speech required)
* Launch app
* Launch shortcut
* Tasker task [1]
* Switch profile
Additionally the long press options are configurable to any of the following:
* Volume control [2]
* Rewind [3]
* Fast forward [3]
[1] Requires the app 'Tasker'
[2] While the button is held down, the volume is initially reset to the minimum limit (see below) and then raised until the button is released
[3] Not every music player app supports rewind / fast forward
With a 3-button headset, volume control is also configurable with the left and right headset buttons.
Music app selection
Headset Button Controller controls the currently running music app. You are also able to explicitly specify which installed music app you want to control.
Volume control features
Headset Button Controller remembers the music volume when the headphone is unplugged and can restore it when the headphone is plugged in again.
* Min volume limit: Start volume level of the 'volume control' command
* Max volume limit: Ensures that the headset music volume never exceeds this limit
Call features
You are also able to control calls with the headset button:
* answer call / end call on single press (configurable)
* decline call / mute microphone on double press (configurable)
* adjust volume during a call (see volume control)
* announce caller name (Text-To-Speech required)
You can also configure Headset Button Controller to automatically answer an incoming call after a configurable delay.
Headset plug in / out
You can configure an action to be performed when the headset gets plugged in / out.
You can create different 'configuration profiles' which you can switch between. Add a widget or a shortcut to your home screen to easily change your profile. It is also possible to switch profile from the 'Tasker' or 'Locale' app (Locale plug-in). All settings can be backed up on SD card.
This is the full version of Headset Button Controller. To check if this app works with your phone / music player correctly, we suggest you first install the trial version of this app before buying.

* Fix battery drain on android wear/watch
* Added Turkish translation
* Jelly Bean: The long press commands of the center button are reserved by Google Now and cannot be configured with this app.
* Headset Button Controller cannot support the separate volume control buttons on the iPhone headset - this is a limitation of the Android framework.

Crash on launch moto x 2nd Gen. Trial worked great... Disappointed
(50 stars)
My wired headphones by default stopped music on single click, but skipped tracks on double click. Double clicking often would register as single, very annoying. This app let me remap single click to go to the next track.
(50 stars)
Worked great on my G2 until the last update. Please fix.
(50 stars)
Been a happy user for a while. Five stars if you use it on phone only. However, one star if you use Android Wear. Notification shows up on watch and then disappears when you try to view it. This rapidly drains the watch battery! Adds almost another day of battery life on Sony SW3 when this app is disabled! Please fix.
(50 stars)
Tried the free version first. Worked! Had a question for the developer about cpu usage which was answered promptly. He more than deserves my $3.00. Adding volume control to a one button headset is priceless! Thanks.
(50 stars)
Did not work with original handset, does not work with my wireless headphones, not even when plugged in. Nice idea, but no effect.
(50 stars)
Because this should be default on android.

As the horn ticked down the final seconds in Tallahassee on Wednesday night and it became clear that No. 1 Duke would drop from the rank of the unbeatens, the refrain from the pundits in the sports world could be heard once again. "It is impossible to go undefeated in college basketball now and I guarantee it will never happen again!" In reality, it is hard to argue that point. No team has gone undefeated since Indiana in 1976 and with the exception of UNLV in 1991 and Memphis in 2008, no team has really come all that close. College basketball has seen a seismic shift due to the increased attention on basketball in all BCS programs, early entry into the NBA Draft and a changed television landscape that allows more than just the top ten programs to sell the idea of regular national exposure. In that landscape, realistically there are simply too many land mines for a team to ever complete an undefeated season.
Realism however, is overrated. Anyone can say something can't happen. It is much more fun to imagine what could be. In that vein, it is worth exploring which of the four currently undefeated teams is most likely to finish the season without a blemish. To navigate such a road, a team must possess four important traits:
1. Top-Level Coach: Every team, no matter how talented, will be faced with 2-3 games that will be won with late coaching decisions and end-of-game scenarios in which a particular designed play, substitution or defensive adjustment is the difference between victory and defeat. A few years back, current Minnesota coach Tubby Smith told me that coaching was about two things primarily, pre-game preparation/motivation and making the right decision in the last two minutes. With close games inevitable for any team looking to go unblemished, there simply must be a master tactician on the sidelines.
2. Adaptable Personnel: Great teams can come in many shapes and sizes. The 1992 Duke team was built around three superstars (Laettner, Hurley and Grant Hill) and a group of talented role players, the 2007 Florida team had a core starting five as good as any in the last 25 years and the 1996 Kentucky team simply tried to overwhelm its opponents with eight future NBA players. However each of these teams had a vulnerability that when exploited, caused the group to drop random games during the season. An undefeated team must have a very unique quality. It must be adaptable to any style of play and with no obvious stylistic weakness. If your team can't shoot, isn't athletic enough, doesn't play hard-nosed defense or can't rebound, chances are you will face one team on your schedule whose best strength is exploiting that weakness, and your undefeated run will end.
3. A Favorable Schedule: In order to go undefeated, it isn't simply enough that a team be great, its opponents need to also be decidedly mediocre. Every team will face at least eight conference games on the road and potentially another couple of tough games on the road or neutral sites in the non-conference season. Those are at least ten chances to slip up without your home crowd there to rescue you from a bad game. If these opponents are teams like SMU and Houston, as Memphis faced in 2008, the chances of an undefeated season are much greater than if you get UCONN and Pitt. Schedules matter and if an undefeated team is ever to exist, chances are they will play a weak one.
4. Luck: You don't go undefeated without winning at least one game you should/could have lost due to a favorable bounce, loose ball or questionable call. Again, go back to the team that came the closest to accomplishing this feat, the 2008 Memphis Tigers. In two games, Memphis was defeated by end of game shots. If Mario Chalmers misses one three-pointer just an inch to the left or right, John Calipari and the Tigers become immortal legends. Nothing Calipari did (well, except not fouling before the shot went off) had any effect on the shot, but rather his team's fate was in another's hands. Chalmers takes the shot, the ball goes in and 1976 Indiana remains the gold standard. One moment changes history and for an undefeated team, that 50-50 moment must fall with them, instead of against them.
With those four requirements in place, the question then becomes, which of the current undefeateds best meet the criteria? Currently, we are left with Ohio State, Kansas, Syracuse and San Diego State as the sole remaining undefeated teams and in reality, none is likely to approach an undefeated season. However with realism not our goal, it is worth ranking the teams in order of potential to reach undefeated immortality:
The Jayhawks' stellar play has been one of the surprises of the early season and with the experience returning from last year's disappointing NCAA Tournament exit, there is a core group of players who have tasted enough big games to contend come March. Bill Self has a National Championship under his belt, but he does have detractors who believe that his in-game adjustments leave something to be desired. Kansas has already survived two games it could have lost this year against USC and UCLA and has an overtime win on the road at Michigan that it was fortunate to escape. The roster is likely the most diverse of all the undefeated teams, with the Morris twins and Josh Selby ensuring that there will be no team the Jayhawks can't score on, or defend. The Big 12 is good, but not great, and with the disappointing play of Kansas State, a couple of games that seemed like hurdles now seem a bit more doable. The only ranked teams the Jayhawks will face on the road are Missouri and potentially Kansas State, thus putting Kansas in the spot of most likely to accomplish this impossible dream.
Most Likely Loss: Missouri, in the final game of the regular season. In the unlikely event Kansas comes in undefeated, Mike Anderson's squad will ensure that no team goes into NCAA play without a blemish.
The Buckeyes have a superstar in Jared Sullinger and a balanced attack that allows a number of different scoring options depending on how teams choose to defend them. Like Kansas, Ohio State can adapt to a number of different styles and are likely only vulnerable against a team that runs and can put up points in a hurry, a type of play that it doesn't see in the Big Ten. Thad Matta is one of the most underrated tacticians in college basketball and his ability to produce a gameplan specifically designed to exploit his opponent's weakness is consistently undervalued. He has in the past been to the national title game with a young big man and Ohio State wins more than its share of close games. Early this year, the Buckeyes haven't been tested a great deal, but they play in the Big Ten, which this season is the best conference in America. The schedule includes road games at Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Purdue. Matta gets Michigan State in Columbus, but the run of road games against good teams makes for a couple of likely stumbles.
Most Likely Loss: Minnesota on February 6. Tubby Smith's team does not necessarily like to run, but it can shoot and has size in order to attempt to neutralize Jared Sullinger. Smith will need a top win at home and this is exactly the type of game he takes pride in stealing.
No team has been consistently overlooked more often this season than Syracuse. The combination of the "never leave New York" non-conference schedule and the disappointing ending in last year's NCAA Tournament has made the 'Cuse a team with more than its share of skeptics early. Jim Boeheim is one of the best coaches in America and is one of the best at the tactical side of the game. He does however have one of the least adaptable teams among the Top 10 however, as Syracuse has shown itself to be vulnerable to any team that tries to push tempo and can hit threes at a rapid rate. The schedule is brutal, with road games at Pittsburgh, UCONN, Villanova and Georgetown. Syracuse isn't a contender to go undefeated, and its main concern should be finishing in the top three in the Big East.
Most Likely Loss: Pittsburgh on Monday. Pitt is better on both offense and defense and will have a home crowd rocking for the national television audience on Martin Luther King Day. The Orange ride ends then.
The Aztecs are a great story, playing in the forgotten Mountain West and bringing the name Steve Fisher back to the mainstream. The team is on the precipice of a top 5 ranking and is getting national attention for the first time in decades. After making the NCAA Tournament last year and with a roster of experienced and talented players, San Diego State is for real. Steve Fischer is a much-maligned figure, who is often given the label as "worst coach to ever win an NCAA title." Still, one can't argue with how he has built the San Diego State program and his winning percentage is impressive. San Diego State matches up well with a host of different teams, but could struggle with the talent gap if it plays one of the other top teams in America. The schedule is harder than it may appear, with three very difficult road games at New Mexico, BYU and UNLV highlighting the rest of the season. Even if it were to get through that run, San Diego State is not a team built to win a championship and would fall in March.
Most Likely Loss: BYU on January 26. The Aztecs could fall this weekend in the Pit vs New Mexico, but if not, will surely see a defeat when Jimmer is unleashed in two weeks.

Great, another dope making "never leave New York" comments about Syracuse. First, do your homework, buddy, they have played outside of New York State. Second, look at their strength of schedule and see that they have not loaded up against patsies. Third, why does no one complain about Duke, who does essentially the same thing with their early season travel. You hardly see them more than a quick bus trip away from home. Why don't you actually take the time to know the facts before spouting the same dreck that Cuse haters keep propagating.

I realize that MOST CBB fan are not familiar with the 2-3 ZONE...Triangle and 2...or the BOX and 1.....UNDERSTANDABLY.....CUSE recruits ATHLETIC players with REACH (especially in the front of the zone)....To get to all the balls that could make it into the paint...They STEAL those and RUN like demons(NOT DUKE ) the other way...for EASY 3 or 4 on 1 or 2 every chance they get...Coach Boeheim RECRUITS athletic guys that play HIS system...NOT many CBB teams can prepare for it since most coaches DONT have his philosophy ...That's OK..He is in the HOF by the way ......So he must be doing something right.

Twill-n-theboys is just mad OSU beat his Gophers....hence the "all calls involving Sullinger" comment. My bet is he has seen 1 game...if that involving Sullinger. I have seen all of them and it is probably 50%-50% with calls being missed and calls being fabricated. Don't get me wrong, this is in no way a comparison, but its the same as with Lebron. He is so big and strong that they let a lot of small fouls go that don't really affect him. So if he gets the benefit of a few, then so be it. As an OSU fan , however, I agree....no one is going undefeated in the Big Ten. It's just too good a conference.
Sorry, I've watched more than one game and I think they'll lose a game in which he has foul trouble. I'll go one further, they'll lose a tournament game because of his foul trouble, call it "the Pitt factor". I do know others who have made this observation too (NOT Gopher fans), one of my patrons (OSU fan) does not really agree but sees how we see it our way.

LOVE the post even if you are wrong on a thing or 2...2-3 ZONE can be broken...Here is how.
1. Work the ball to the circle with a BIG MAN.....Have him turn and dish to the guys running the baseline as the backline is FORCED to move up to defend him...EASY baskets.
PROBLEM: Most teams don't have a BIG GUY that is a passer so they use smaller players to fill THAT role....which is NOT nearly as effective.
2. Ball movement to get the D to commit and get an open 3 on the opposite side or in a corner.
PROBLEM: Teams need @ least 2 superior shooters to EFFECTIVELY perform this @ a rate of 50% +.
3. Work the ball over the backline from the corners to a BIG GUY for EASIER chances.
PBOBLEM: Again..ALOT of teams don't have that kind of guy.
CUSE may want teams to chuck it up because they run the floor SO well......BUT the ZONE isn't DESIGNED for BANGING the boards....Which is why @PITT is a VERY SCARY GAME and VENUE

Not to say that Pitt will definitely beat Syracuse on Monday, but I think it's a mistake to assume that inconsistent shooting will keep them from beating the 2-3 zone. Currently, Pitt leads the Big East in 3-point percentage at 39.4% (5th in total shots made) and is 5th overall in field goal percentage at 49%, having already played Georgetown and UConn.
Last year, Pitt defeated #5 Syracuse on the road by doing precisely what the 2-3 zone forces you to do - taking 3-point shots. The Panthers shot 41.7% from three while Rautins and Triche combined to shoot 1 of 11. Obviously, this was an unusually bad shooting night for the Orange, and Pitt will have their hands full again this year.
Pitt is also 8-0 currently against top 5 teams at the Petersen Events Center. If anyone is listening in Cincinatti, please let the Orange win so they can stay in the top 5!

On the whole Syracuse thing ... sure, if a team hits 65% plus, they'll beat the Orangemen. And every other team in the land. The way to beat a zone is not, as Boeheim will gladly tell you, to sit there for 30 seconds and then try to drain a three. That's what the zone wants. Really.
And the other thing a zone wants is for you to chuck it up early and try to beat them on the up-down. Zones *thrive* on that. I am beginning to question whether or not the author knows a thing, a single thing, about basketball.
The way to beat a zone is to: a) get the ball inside; b) work it side-to-side and then get something 10 feet or under; c) hit the freakin' boards--zones don't match up well on the glass, and if you pound it and get second chances, you'll demoralize them.
The team in the BE with the best chance of beating 'Cuse, IMAO, is neither Pitt (inconsistent shooters) nor G'town (no inside play but 'Nova. Balance and patience is the way to go.

I AGREE Totally...The CUSE doesn't mind a team that PUSHES the tempo....Their ACHILLES HEEL is teams that are EXTREMELY PHYSICAL on the GLASS on BOTH ends of the floor.FAB MELO has not developed as expected and KEITA picks up TOO many fouls.Rick Jackson is a BEAST but can't do it alone.CUSE has LOTS of athletic players that will continue to develop.They are LONG as you stated and win games with D....JIM BOEHEIM is no fool.He chose his players well for the 2-3 ZONE...and calls GREAT PLAYS during TimeOuts.The BIG EAST is the toughest Conference in the nation by FAR....and CUSE will lose a few games...@ PITT in the PETERSON CENTRE could be the 1ST... Cincinnati tomorrow will be tough as well.

cabinet fronts -- construction & edging
Hello. Does anyone have any advice as to what is the most durable cabinet edging available? Our kitchen will be simple and modern -- all white laminate cabinets with white fronts, pure white Caesarstone tops, bleached oak floor... As far as I know, aluminum edging would work best. PVC is also an option but unless I am mistaken, that does not last long and will yellow over time. However, from an esthetic perspective, all white edging would be the most attractive.
Also, does anyone know what is the best method for making the cabinet door fronts? I thought that a wood frame with an MDF center would be the best option, the next best option being a slab of plywood but a cabinet builder told me that white melamine, which is high density particle board core, is better than the other options becuase it is more stable. Is this really true? In fact, he and other people say that making the boxes out melamine is just as good as making them out of plywood.
Lastly, the cabinetry maker gave me the option of using Medex rather than plywood for the boxes. Does anyone have an opinion on this?
Thanks VERY much for any advice which you can offer.
Since no one is answering, I'll give you my take.
I'd just do what your cabinet guy says to do.
White laminate is white laminate.
But then on the other hand, a white laminate door usually doesn't have a frame. It's a slab. So, actually, I don't know what you're talking about.
Thanks for answering, I appreciate it. Laminate can be glued to mdf, plywood, etc... I chose laminate because in terms of cleaning and durability it holds up better than paint and is less expensive that lacquer. So a wood frame around an mdf piece was one option of making a durable, warp and water resistant front. I guess that I will try to talk to some other cabinet makers becuase I do not think that particle board is the best and only way to make a flat front door. But maybe I am mistaken.
Happy, There may be some confusion as to your reference to Laminate. I would say that laminate is more of an old school term as now "laminate" may be interchangeable with Melamine or even thermofoil. Not saying that's fact. Just saying.
BTW, I'm looking at a 45 year old laminated particle board door that is warped. I think the warping only occured in the last 10 years or so.........
Slab doors should always be done on high density particle or mdf. If using foil to cover MDF is preferred because due to smoothere surface. Otherwise no difference.
Laminate- refers to formica, wilsonart etc high pressure laminates which have a layer of phenolic (brown) that shows along the edged, a layer of melamine and a wear layer. Generally tougher than melamine.
Melamine is most often used for cabinet interiors on particle board boxes.
MEDEX - sounds like he is referring to NAUF (no added urea formaldehyde) MDF.
IMO- frameless boxes are best made from particle. Ply is considered an upgrade only because consumers think it is. You are mostly paying for veneer interiors with that. There is no structural advantage. More screws are needed when installing plywood frameless to prevent cupping at the joint between the cabinet.
Edges of boxes depend on door treatment.
Painted should be wood painted and door should have wood edges painted- thicker is better.
Foil- doors ar wrapped so siide edges are seemless- backs are melamine. Box edges would be vinyl or melamine- vinyl is tougher.
Laminate doors will have a brown line at the edge and are rare nowadays.
Aluminum is an aeshetic choice- toughest of all but a different look

Who really knows what to write here....???
So much to say...how do I fit it into this little box!? I love to try new things, eat at new restaurants, go out to unusual places. I love to laugh and play around, I laugh at myself quite a bit so being in the company of someone that has a sense of humor is definitely a must (in fact its mandatory). One could say that I am pretty much a kid at heart! Communication is key. I do enjoy a great conversation and getting to know someone. I truly believe that a great relationship is one in which both individuals find themselves to be best friends. As I have gotten older I have learned to appreciate simplicity in life. I am a very "go with the flow" type of individual, some of the best times in life are unplanned and spontaneous. There is so much more to say, but I suppose I should leave that for another conversation!

Parkway Bakery & Tavern
Whether you go for the roast beef with gravy or golden fried shrimp, the basic anatomy of Parkway's perfect po' boy is always the same: "dressed" (lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise, and pickles) on distinctive New Orleans–style French bread (lightly crisped crust, interior as airy as cotton candy) from the celebrated Leidenheimer Bakery. Nothing better, nowhere else.
Congratulations to Mei Lin, winner of Top Chef Season 12.

Domonic Brown Rumors
NL East Rumors: Brown, Mets, Aceves, Phillies, Price
The latest from the NL East..
- The Phillies are willing to listen on Domonic Brown, but a rumored Brown-for-Jose Bautista swap isn't happening, tweets Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com.
- Jeff Wilpon said the Mets are close to making some sort of transaction earlier today, but GM Sandy Alderson seemed genuinely surprised when that was relayed to him by reporters, tweets Mike Puma of the New York Post.
- The Mets are among the clubs with interest in former Red Sox hurler Alfredo Aceves, tweets Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
- Phillies GM Ruben Amaro isn't eager to move young talent, tweets Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer. "Everybody is looking for the same thing, and that's young controllable players. There is no reason for us to be moving any of them," the GM said.
- A trade to land Rays ace David Price would probably call for the Nationals to part with Anthony Rendon, Lucas Giolito, and another prospect or two from the club's top-tier, writes Mark Zuckerman of Nats Insider. Because of the steep price, it's probably not worthwhile.

Phillies Won't Trade Brown, Utley, Hamels
The Phillies are willing to listen to offers on any players except Domonic Brown, Chase Utley and Cole Hamels, according to Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com. That includes Cliff Lee, though general manager Ruben Amaro Jr.'s preference is to hang onto him, and he'd need to be blown away to move his ace left-hander.
The Phillies view Hamels' poor season as an aberration, according to Salisbury, and their desire is for Hamels and Lee to front their rotation in 2014. Utley, of course, is said to be working on an extension with the Phillies, and Brown has emerged as the young power bat that the Phillies have hoped he could become.
Boston is currently the most interested team in Lee's services, according to Salisbury, and their interest dates back to the offseason when they were told he wasn't available. Salisbury adds that the Red Sox's reluctance to part with Xander Bogaerts or Jackie Bradley Jr. makes it likely that Lee will likely remain with the Phillies beyond the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. Recent reports have indicated that Lee would require three or four top prospects to acquire, though at least one NL executive speculated that he did think Lee would be traded.
Both the Yankees and Red Sox continue to show interest in Michael Young, and Salisbury writes that Jonathan Papelbon is "very much available" as well. He notes that the Tigers' interest in Papelbon had cooled even before their acquisition of Jose Veras on Monday, so there may no longer be a fit between the two sides.

East Notes: Rays, Byrd, Brown, Red Sox
The Rays tend to stand pat at the trade deadline, and you can expect the same this time around, writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Right now, the Rays have one of their best squads in the past six seasons, strong pitching, a solid bullpen, and the offense is doing better than expected. "I like what we have now," manager Joe Maddon said. "With everybody staying well I don't anticipate us doing anything." Here's more out of the AL and NL East..
- Consistent with what we've been hearing, the Mets say that they aren't in a rush to trade outfielder Marlon Byrd, writes Mike Puma of the New York Post. "It would have to be significant [talent]," Alderson said before last night's game. "I don't want to add to the speculation because I don't know what's going to happen, but we want to remain competitive." Byrd is hitting .267/.313/.498 with 15 homers while the Mets are 40-50, 12 games back from the first place Braves.
- Domonic Brown is shining for the Phillies, but they almost let him get away, writes Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Brown was an untouchable during talks in 2009 with Toronto for Roy Halladay but two baseball sources said Brown's name was discussed in the 2011 trade with the Astros for Hunter Pence.
- The Red Sox aren't feeling pressured to make a trade before the deadline, writes Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald. Even if Clay Buchholz has another setback, the BoSox can still get by with what they have, in Silverman's estimation.

NL East Notes: Mets, Braves, Brown
Links from the NL East…
- There's little question within the Mets organization that Travis d'Arnaud will become the team's starting catcher at some point this year, Mike Puma of the New York Post writes. However, d'Arnaud will start the season at Triple-A Las Vegas, barring an injury. By keeping d'Arnaud in big league camp, the Mets are running the risk that he'll get injured and start picking up MLB service time while on the disabled list, Michael Baron of MetsBlog.com notes.
- The Braves front office doesn't seem concerned about the possibility that their lineup will strike out often in 2013, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News reports. Martino also discusses the re-branding of the Braves in the post-Chipper Jones and Bobby Cox era. "We like talent," one Braves person said.
- Don't be surprised if Mike Minor of the Braves and Domonic Brown of the Phillies are among the players who break out in 2013. ESPN.com's Keith Law includes these players on his list of former top prospects poised for big performances in the coming season.

Quick Hits: Lohse, Young, Phillies, PED Supensions
In 2008, Kyle Lohse waited until March to sign and landed in the place he'd call home for five seasons — St. Louis. Spring Training is underway again, and Lohse again remains unsigned. However, unlike 2008 when he had a career 4.82 ERA, Lohse is coming off a 3.11 ERA over his past 399 1/3 innings. ESPN's Buster Olney talked to a longtime MLB evaluator who says in addition to draft pick compensation, AL teams are wary of Lohse's poor AL track record. The evaluator also added that teams shy away former Cardinals pitchers, as they often struggle to find success elsewhere (Twitter links).
More from around the Majors…
- Phillies ace Cliff Lee told Jayson Stark of ESPN that he was "baffled" by the way the Rangers treated Michael Young in his final years with the team. Lee called Young the "perfect teammate" and the "heart and soul" of the Rangers team. "…in my opinion, you want guys like Michael Young around," said Lee, who was reunited with his former teammate after the Phillies traded for him this winter.
- Both Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins have offered strong praise for Phillies prospect Domonic Brown this Spring, writes David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News. Murphy opines that both players feel this is the time to finally give Brown a chance to be an everyday Major Leaguer.
- Michael Weiner, the exeutive director of the MLB Players Union, spoke with reporters (including Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca) about drug testing and the possibility of more severe punishment for players who have been discovered to have multiple offenses in the past. Weiner discusses the fine line between representing players who are subject to discipline and attempting to enforce a clean game. Weiner also says that after Spring Training, there will be discussions about whether or not the new qualifying offer system is working as intended, given the damage to Lohse's market.
- Former Twins, Rangers and Astros minor leaguer Mark Hamburger has been suspended for 50 games after testing positive on two instances for recreational drug use, according to Baseball America's Matt Eddy. Hamburger, a free agent after being released by Houston earlier this month, would have to serve out his suspension upon signing with a new team.

Quick Hits: Lohse, Volquez, Bourn, Phillies, Blue Jays
Padres starter Edinson Volquez is eligible for free agency after the 2013 season, but his preference is to sign an extension with San Diego, says Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune. Before considering a new contract, the Padres want to see Volquez improve his control, Center notes. Volquez allowed 105 walks in 2012. Here are more notes from around baseball…
- The Dodgers' surplus of starters is yet another factor working against Kyle Lohse as he tries to find a suitable deal this winter, rival officials tell Buster Olney of ESPN.com (Insider sub. req'd). Teams looking for pitching can pick up the phone and call the Dodgers to ask about Chris Capuano or one of their other available starters. Lohse is obviously a stronger option, but he's also more expensive and teams have less flexibility than they did earlier this winter.
- Pitcher Kyle Davies agreed to a minor league deal with the Twins that does not include an invite to big league camp, tweets Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com. The 29-year-old owns a career 5.59 ERA with 6.4 K/9 and 4.3 BB/9 across seven big league seasons.
- New Indians outfielder Michael Bourn says that the offseason market for his services took a turn for the worse after the Twins traded not one, but two center fielders in Denard Span and Ben Revere, CBSSports.com's Scott Miller reports. The trades of Span and Revere took the Nationals and Phillies out of the market for a center fielder. "I was looking at that like, 'Man, are you serious?' Those were two teams I pretty much thought would be fighting for me," Bourn says.
- The Phillies discussed trading Domonic Brown to the Astros this offseason, Jon Heyman reports (on Twitter), but the Phils, still low on talent in the outfield, are reluctant to deal him. The former top prospect is current competing for time in left field with the Phillies.
- Blue Jays manager John Gibbons hints that the club might turn to Josh Thole or Henry Blanco, rather than J.P. Arencibia, to catch R.A. Dickey, Richard Griffin of TheStar.com reports. The Jays will go with a personal catcher for Dickey, MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm notes. Arencibia wants to catch for Dickey, but Thole and Blanco both caught Dickey and his knuckleball when Dickey played for the Mets.

NL Notes: Phillies, Reds, Rockies, Figgins
As players, coaches, and front office personnel begin to arrive in Florida and Arizona for Spring Training 2013, let's take a look at the news and notes from the National League:
- The Phillies were surprised Ben Revere was available and, in fact, it was the Twins who brought his name up in trade talks after dealing Denard Span to the Nationals, reports the Philadelphia Inquirer's Bob Brookover.
- Within the same article, Brookover writes the struggles of Domonic Brown were one reason the Phillies were forced to alter their offseason blueprint. "We were hopeful that Domonic would lock down one of those corner outfield spots," GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "He did not do that. He still may do that…but we can't necessarily count on that to happen. Because of that, then we were kind of filling all three outfield positions."
- MLB.com's Mark Sheldon provided additional contract details for some of the players the Reds have signed within the last month including right-hander Logan Ondrusek, who has more than two dozen different escalators, incentives, and bonuses written into the two-year deal he signed last month.
- Jorge De La Rosa, Jhoulys Chacin, Juan Nicasio, and Jeff Francis are near locks for the first four slots in the Rockies' starting rotation leaving Drew Pomeranz, Christian Friedrich, Tyler Chatwood and Chris Volstad jockeying for the fifth spot, according to Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post.
- MLB.com's Thomas Harding tweets the candidates for the Rockies' rotation change daily, but the final two spots could come down to Nicasio, Pomeranz, and Chatwood.
- Larry Beinfest, the Marlins' president of baseball operations, envisions the recently signed Chone Figgins in a Alfredo Amezaga-type role, tweets Juan C. Rodriguez of the Sun-Sentinel. Amezaga played every position, except pitcher and catcher, during his four-year stint in Miami.

Phillies Discussed Alfonso Soriano Deal With Cubs
5:25pm: The deal appears to be a longshot to happen, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com (via Twitter). The Phillies were uninterested in Soriano when first presented with the possibility but warmed up to it enough to consider it.
4:31pm: The Phillies have discussed a deal with the Cubs that would net them Alfonso Soriano in exchange for Domonic Brown, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. However, the Phillies might be more inclined to sign a free agent, such as Cody Ross or someone else.
The Cubs are believed to be willing to pay $26MM of the $36MM remaining on Soriano's deal if they can get quality prospects in return. The Phillies like Soriano offensively but have reservations about his defensive play, despite his improvement last season. Soriano, who will turn 37 next month, hit .262/.322/.499 with 32 home runs in 615 plate appearances.
Ross would be a better fit for the Phillies' budget than fellow free agent outfielders Nick Swisher and Josh Hamilton. Earlier today we learned that the Mets have kicked the tires on Ross, but would be unwilling to make a commitment to him beyond two years. The Phillies, Braves, Mariners, Red Sox, Yankees, and Orioles have all been linked to Ross so far this offseason.

NL East Notes: Harper, Hamels, Rizzo, Brown
Phillies left-hander Cole Hamels created a stir last night by admitting he hit Nationals rookie Bryce Harper intentionally. Though Harper didn't publicly express frustration at being hit, GM Mike Rizzo fired back at Hamels this morning. The details and other NL East-related notes…
- Rizzo called Hamels' act the most "classless, gutless" thing he's seen in his career, according to Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post. "Cole Hamels says he's old school? He's the polar opposite of old school," Rizzo said. "He's fake tough." I'd recommend reading Kilgore's entire piece for the details.
- Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports points out that Hamels won't be signing with the Nationals next offseason and writes that Rizzo will be lucky if he is not reprimanded for his comments.
- Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com notes that there's "nothing doing" with respect to an extension for Hamels (Twitter link).
- Morosi expects Harper to stay in the Major Leagues for good, since he's played too well to be sent down to the minor leagues (video link).
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says Rizzo's comments were an overreaction to legitimate old school play from Hamels (video link).
- Bill Ladson of MLB.com suggests the Nationals may make a trade instead of relying on Xavier Nady and Roger Bernadina in left field (Twitter link).
- Jim Callis of Baseball America hasn't given up on Phillies prospect Domonic Brown despite his struggles. Brown could still hit for a high average with 20 homers per season to go along with plus speed and arm strength, Callis writes.

NL East Notes: Wigginton, Brown, Oviedo, Fielder
Earlier today we heard that the Nationals are discussing a contract extension with Ryan Zimmerman and that the agent for Cole Hamels doesn't think Jered Weaver's five-year $85MM deal is that relevant for his client. Here are some more notes on the NL East, starting with Hamels' teammates in Philadelphia…
- GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said on MLB Network Radio that the Phillies are operating carefully because they're up against the luxury tax, Jim Bowden tweets.
- Amaro said Ty Wigginton will play first base regularly until Ryan Howard returns from the disabled list, Bowden tweets. Jim Thome will also get occasional starts at first.
- Amaro said he expects to platoon John Mayberry Jr. and Laynce Nix in left field, Bowden tweets. Unless Domonic Brown wows his bosses in Spring Training, he'll head to the Phillies' Triple-A club.
- There's an expectation that the Marlins will try to trade Juan Carlos Oviedo, and the reliever told Juan C. Rodriguez of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that he's mentally prepared for a deal. "It's a business," he said. "I'd like to stay in Miami, but those are things they decide."
- Many baseball people still view the Nationals as the favorite to sign Prince Fielder, Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports tweets.
