Recommendation for Craftsman Copper lighting
My prior postings on the lighting forum have all been questions, so I'm happy to be able to post a recommendation. If you like copper lighting fixtures in the Arts & Craft style, I can recommend James Davies of Craftsman Copper. All the fixtures he makes are custom, so they aren't cheap by any means but I fully expect my lamp to last my lifetime and probably "outlive" me.
This weekend, the copper floor lamp he made for me arrived. It's such a handsome lamp! The hammering of the metal is just beautiful. It's rather unconventional in that it's a torchiere, but I needed something very practical to light a large open space with 10 foot high ceilings. In that sense, I think that it's true to the arts & crafts spirit of having beautiful yet useful household objects. Although I got a floor lamp, if you go to Mr. Davies' website, you'll see a variety of lamps and chandeliers.
It was also a pleasure to communicate with Mr. Davies during the process, as each lamp is custom made. He did an excellent job of keeping in touch with me to let me know the status of my order. I highly recommend Craftsman Copper lamps.

Returning to School

6 Ways to Save on Continuing Education
My husband and I both work full time, but my husband has returned to school to become an X-ray Technician. He works for United and his income has been cut several times now. We struggle to make it on both our incomes. Our two biggest expenses are the mortgage and daycare. Chuck insists that he will have to work full time in addition to going to school five days a week. The school program is designed as a Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm program. Essentially, it is a full-time job. I don't think that he could work full time and go to school full time and still be of any help with our daughter or the house. He has given me eight weeks to prove that we can live with only half of his income.
In the last two weeks, we have cut a lot of expenses. We reviewed our insurance policies and lowered our 401K. It still isn't enough to make up the difference. We have about $2500 left on one car and about $3000 in credit card debt. We also have about $10,000 in savings, $6000 of that is set aside for his tuition. We really don't want to touch the savings since it is earmarked for education. Our monthly grocery bills are about $150. Where else can we start looking to cut expenses?
Rebecca S.
Looks like both Rebecca and Chuck are right on this one. She's right that if he goes to school full time and works full time, he won't be much help with the house and daughter. He's right that they probably won't be able to make it on one and a half salaries without some severe cost cutting.
So let's take a look at the different options that are available to them. First, Rebecca doesn't say how long the course is. Most are two- or four-year programs, so they'll need to be able to live with their strategy for awhile. No matter how they handle it, Rebecca and Chuck are going to have to adjust and make sacrifices.
Is it possible to cut their budget enough to live on one full-time and one part-time income? If they're already struggling on both full-time salaries, it's unlikely that they can make it on less than that. Especially when you add in the cost of education.
Cutting back on groceries and other items is a good idea. But, even in the unlikely event that they cut grocery spending by 50%, it wouldn't be enough to bridge the gap. Budget cuts will need to be dramatic. And, probably in the areas of housing or transportation.
One way to save money would be to move into a cheaper apartment and rent out or sell their home. That's a big sacrifice, but could cut expenses significantly. A quick comparison of apartment costs to their current housing expenses will give them a feel of how much can be saved.
Another way to save would be to sell one vehicle. The cost of car payments, insurance, depreciation, gas/oil and other maintenance items make owning a car expensive. Cars.com reviewed the cost of owning and operating some common cars. They ranged from a low of $7,162 for a Ford Focus to $10,528 for a Nissan Maxima GXE. So eliminating one car would be significant. Sure, it's going to be inconvenient. But perhaps a carpool, moped or bike could make it possible.
If they must have two cars, they could trade one for an older, small car. That would keep costs to a minimum. Collision insurance could be dropped. A small car would use less gas. They would also eliminate the car payment and might even end up with some cash from selling the newer car.
Chuck may have already checked out scholarships available to him. If not, he should investigate the websites that list scholarships. A couple to check are scholarships.com and finaid.org.
Using part of the savings account to pay off the credit card balance is probably a good idea. They'll save a little interest each month. And, when an unexpected expense arrives, they can use the card to cover it.
It is quite possible that Rebecca and Chuck can't cut expenses enough to live on one and one half salaries. In that case, they'll need to decide whether to use student loans or a home equity loan to borrow the shortfall, or to have Chuck keep working full-time while Rebecca takes the lead at home after work.
Rebecca and Chuck are to be complimented for recognizing a shaky career path and trying to do something about it. The transition to a new career will not be easy but should pay dividends for years. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 1/3 of the fastest growing job titles are medical related. Hopefully that will give Chuck a good career path for years to come.

What a great little campground. This is an older KOA that is kept up nicely. It is primarily grass and gravel, and the sites are close to level. It has all the amenities including a pool, volleyball court, covered picnic area, a playground, and a fenced (grassy and clean) dog area. There are two pluses to this park, the owner (or manager) and the distance to the freeway. It is located a mile off the freeway making it VERY quiet, yet it is a straight shot back on the road. And the staff was very helpful and nice. The sites may be tight if the park were full, but there were not many people when we stayed there. We would and probably will be back again. - SAU51
A basic KOA. Sites are on grass with gravel tire tracks. Need blocks to get level. Wi-Fi was poor. Verizon was fine. Lyman is close to the fort at Fort Bridger state park. Try "The Cafe" at the truck stop on I-80. Looks like a dive but the food is very good and reasonably priced. - Gary Camp-Inn
The people make this a nice stop. Very friendly! Grass Pull Thru. with good hook up's. One mile off of I-80, so NO highway noise. Easy IN & OUT. Little store with RV supplies and 'basics'. Some fast food (did not try). Don't mind the KOA pricing when they are friendly and helpful. - n6351b

I received my work boots and just wanted you to know how pleased we were. In the past, we've had to special order these same boots from Sears. Purchasing from you has been a much more pleasant experience. Even when they were backordered, you kept in touch with us regarding our order, and we really appreciated that. We felt as if our order was important to you. I will certainly contact you when I'm ready for more work boots. Thank you!"

Any Given Day
Can you believe it has already been almost five months since we shared a house tour with you guys? So I decided to walk around with the Flip cam and show you how each room can look on an average day (since we had lots of fun with a no-cleaning-first tour back in April). And yes, this is the real deal. I didn't pick up a thing (as demonstrated by my embarrassing bra on the chair in our bedroom, so just pretend you didn't see that, ok?). Oh and for those of you who are at work, you can watch it on mute and pretty much get the gist of the average everyday glory. Or just try to read my lips (just kidding, I'm not on camera):
Things to note:
- I taped this before ORBing the daylights out of the hardware on the front door and the sliding doors, which is why it's still brassy (it always takes me a few days to remember to upload videos)
- I'm terrible at walking around, talking, and holding a camera (it's too much multitasking, so pardon the Blair Witch Project-ness)
- I've listened to this five times trying to hear Natalie Portman or Mila Kunis (since you guys say you hear it) and I can't. I really tried though.
- I have no idea why I take time to point out that we have a Ruby Tuesday's coupon on our desk. It's so weird what you think is noteworthy.
- I should have paused to turn the ironing board so it points up during the video, thereby resnagging the win in Ironing Board Wars on camera (more on that here).
- Burger is so cute. I love how he's just chilling under the covers. Life's good when you're a nine pound chihuahua.
- Sorry I'm almost completely inaudible for the second half of the video. Sleeping baby = paranoid whispering mom (which is ironic because we hammer while she naps – just not right outside her door).
- You can see that I still have yet to rehang the ribbon chandelier from Clara's closet that I took down to paint and stencil the closet (it's in a pile in our disaster of a playroom).
- Yes, it sounds like there's a waterfall in Clara's room. It's her sound machine (mentioned here) which drowns out things like DIY projects and our barky dog.
- I like how I completely forgot an entire room (the sunroom) and galloped back through the house to show you things like squished pillows and a blow-up whale pool.
- The rocker in the sunroom really is trying to kill me (remember when I talked about it waaay back here in November – um yeah, not much progress)
- My dramatic ending on Clara's stuffed animal is beyond weird (yes, we named her Georgia because she's from there). What is wrong with me?
What about you guys. What would people see if you randomly made a shaky nausea-inducing video of your house before picking up a single thing? Anything embarrassing out there like a Carebear night light in the bedroom or an NKOTB poster in the closet? John actually had a Britney Spears calendar when I met him in 2004. Not lying. And she was wearing things like red leather bodysuits and braided pigtails. What can I say, my man has good taste.
Speaking of which, I was just going through old folders on my laptop and I found a bunch of funny old pics that I thought I'd share in the spirit of "any given day." Here's me and Alicia Keys back in 2005. We're old friends. Just kidding, but I did get to meet a bunch of celebs when I used to work in advertising back in NYC (and they were all super nice except for one "star" who is rumored to be not nice – and let me tell you the rumor is true).
Here's John's passport pic from when he was 16 next to the one snapped when he was 24. Aw, Johnny's all grown up.
Here's John as a life-sized doll back in 2005 when we worked together (we met at an ad agency named Lowe where I was a copywriter and John was an account guy – aka: a suck up). The entire office cracked up about this project (it was for a certain deodorant client of ours). I definitely prefer John The Doll to the smarmy Ken doll that I had growing up.
Aw, here's our engagement announcement photo (that we emailed to a bunch of friends and family, hence the photoshopped writing) from 2006. It was snapped about a minute after John got down on one knee at the top of a mountain (more on that here). Best day ever. Well, top five at least.
And here's me and John the last time I chopped off my hair (right after our wedding in 2007). That's Thomas Jefferson with us in case you're wondering.
So how's that for Friday randomness? What odd old photos are sitting around on your computer? Would you ever have guessed where you'd be today five years ago? We had no idea we wouldn't both still be working in advertising (we really liked it and miss it all the time!) and after six years of calling NYC home, I never thought I'd leave. So funny how things work out.
Psst- Check out our first ever messy house tour here (it's fun to see how many rooms have changed since April when we filmed it).

This makes me feel better that I just shared a bathroom photo that included my teal granny shower cap in the background. Secret's out! :)
Happy Friday guys!
Was it Ms. Doherty (the not-nice celeb)?
Hmmm….I think you may have mentioned the "Star" before right?? …emphasis on the Star? :)
I love seeing your house is not always picture perfect. Even with my boys being a bit older and able to pick up after themselves it can still look like a tornado hit at times!
I just have to comment because I have NEVER only seen 1 comment! (Of course by the time this posts I'll probably be comment # 15 :P) I, too, got a kick out of Burger hiding under the bed. Too funny! I'm also waiting for more comments to show so I can find out who this not nice celeb is. Intrigue!
is it rumer's father?
My guess it Star Jones.
good one Amanda! i bet you're right…we're so gossipy!
Jennifer Aniston.
I realized it wasn't her after I read farther down, but your hints with "rumor" in it made me think of the movie she was in with Kevin Costner, Rumor Has It. Totally read the wrong clue.
The bench you guys are sitting on in the last picture (with TJ) is the same bench we used to meet at for "outings" when I was in college. Funny :)
Great house tour! I am always terrified our 1 year old will wake up from his nap because the tv is too loud or his sister is singing loudly. But, I'll grab a drill or hammer and start working away without even thinking about it.
Thankyou thankyou! I didn't think it was possible but I might just even have a bigger blog-crush on you all than I did before. Thanks for being normal :) I can look around my cluttery home and know that loveliness is achieveable! Embarrassing item lurking: collaged binders from high school – Tom cruise & river phoenix & united colors of benetton. Yes I'm getting old :)
I love all these random photos! I just posted some reeeally old (2005) holiday pictures (from Morocco!) on my blog http://annabelvita.com/moroccan-summer – I didn't point it out but you can see in the picture my hair is ORANGE with sun in. Oh to be twenty again and making really bad hair decisions whilst romping around north africa….
Good to know you guys can also sometimes take a while to execute the to-do list. There is evidence of my good intentions all over my home, with projects started but not yet completed. Couple of questions:
–Do you plan to ORB the door hardware for the whole house?
–Have you thought about making the area between Karl and the window wall a play space/toy zone for Clara in place of the bistro table? I could see some baskets or a trunk, kid-size table with chairs, painting/drawing easel, soft rug for sitting, etc. And all kind of out of sight but still in the family room.
Love the house tour! Makes me feel better about my own abode's cluttery-ness. I have a glider project in the play room, a wall alphabet project on my kitchen counter, stacks of picture frames in my sunroom and heaven only know what else going on!
oh yea! My baby Noelle (she's about 3 months behind Clara) has a white noise machine, too. Great moms think alike! ;D
Happy Happy Friday! Yippee!
Oooh, wait! Star Jones???
That's who I was going to guess.
Thats what i was thinking too, but i couldnt remember her last name when i googled it!
Is it someone Named Star?
Can't wait to watch the video when I get home! 5 years ago I had just met Joe and it technically wasn't until October (when we really got together) that I knew we would be getting married one day. Otherwise, I didn't know where I would be working or living or what else I would be doing post-grad!
PS – I bet it was Star Jones!
Okay, just watched the video and now that you mentioned it – your voice does sound like Mila Kunis & Natalie Portman sometimes. Not a bad thing!
Our house tour would mostly showcase clothes on the floor and dishes in the sink. And probably a pile of mail on the kitchen counter or dining room table. Nothing too terrible, but not especially clean either!
I used to work at a theatre in Malibu and met all kinds of celebrities out there too. Probably the most famous were Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. They brought Violet to see a show and Jen was about eight months pregnant with Serphina! I'm happy to say that they were very nice. But not every celebrity I met out there was!!
You bleeped out Burger"s "burger". Are we not all adults here? I noticed it more since it was blurred out than I would have normally. Normally I would not have noticed it at all. Oh well…cute pics
i'm not following…what's bleeped/blurred?
I think that is hilarious!
I didn't hear Mila Kunis but you sure look like her! You two could be cousins!
We recently moved and I am trying to move towards using all white frames…but still have a lot of black left over. T
That being said, what are your thoughts on mixing black/white frames in the same room?
And do you have any recs for maybe spray painting the frames? I tried once before even using special spray paint for plastic and the results were not great.
With our potty-training kiddo & passive-aggressive dog, I won't be able to give you a realistic "any given day" video tour of our house until they invent Smellivision :-/
That rocker… well, rocks, btw! I have one I need to make over too. Can't wait to steal all your ideas ;->
I love Friday randomness! Thanks for sharing the video and all the fun pictures. It makes me happy that it is Friday!
love the TJ bench in CW – used take similar pics w/ him in college just across Richmond Road at W&M.
So, I watch your "not perfect" videos with hopes that it will make me feel better about my house… and it never does! Your house un-perfect is still more picked up than my house after a day of straightening up :)
btw- we bought our house from a John and Sherry. I knew it was a good sign!
hahahaha! loved the flip house tour! too funny. Nice that it's not all perfect. Love the old pics of you guys too. Sweet. I remember the day we got engaged. I was visiting Atlanta (still in NY at that point) and Erik proposed whilst we were jogging in the park. Except what I didn't know was he had a friend secretly taking pics which he put into a slide show for the wedding day as a surprise. Cute!
Cute pics! I love your short hair!
My vote is for Star Jones. She seems pretty not-so-nice, and the quotes lead me to think that's a hint.
I could totally hear Natalie Portman AFTER I saw it written up lol. From No Strings Attached, for sure.
And Burger reminds me of my cat. He burrows too, and gives that "would you just LEAVE me alone? I'm trying to RELAX after my TOUGH day" look lol.
Star Jones???
I'm dying to know. :)
P.S. I love that John has on the same green zip-up in two random pics from two different years! :)
How old is that orange hat he wears? Or have there been multiple? If not, I hope it gets washed on occasion. :)

Corporate Strategy + Insolvency Directors Duties – Asset Protection Company Directors are under a positive duty to ensure that the company does not incur a debt whilst it is insolvent or does not become insolvent by incurring that debt. Accordingly Company Directors are becoming increasingly exposed to personal liability for business debts. Further the execution of personal guarantees by directors have become commonplace and essential today if one wanted to continue in business. This means that directors of small to medium sized businesses have exposed themselves to personal liability by guaranteeing the debts of their companies. Demands on the directors will normally proceed when there is a default pursuant to a personal guarantee. Since 1993 the Australian Taxation Office also has had its recovery powers for company debts extensively increased as the ATO can now place a penalty on directors equal to the tax debt outstanding for the company pursuant to Section 588 FGA of the Corporations Act. This provision allows the ATO to be indemnified by the directors for certain taxation liabilities of the company. There are also Common Law and Contractual duties owed by directors that are governed by Case Law and their individual employment contracts. The Common Law duty of care, skill and diligence stems from the law of negligence and the relationship of proximity between the director and the corporation. Rules of equity also impose a number of duties on directors by virtue of the fiduciary relationship between directors and the company. A liquidator is able to bring proceedings for breach by a director of a duty owed to the company that but for the insolvency of the company, would otherwise be exercisable by the company. So effectively corporate structures are not the protective instrument they once were to secure against commercial risk. It is more evident that directors are personally exposed in the case of insolvency. A more litigious society has made unforeseen claims more of a reality and consequently directors need to protect themselves and their assets from adverse situations. D & O (Directors and Officers) Insurance There may be little benefit to an insolvency practitioner or creditors in pursuing directors unless of course the directors are covered by D&O insurance giving the practitioner access to the funds of an insurance company. 2 There are however a number of standard exclusions from D&O policies which significantly restrict the ambit of their operation. These include: • prospectus-type liability exclusion which will often be of importance to directors of companies who propose to embark on a public offering; • professional indemnity exclusion which excludes cover for claims alleging a breach of duty other than the professional duties owed by a director; • insured versus insured exclusion which excludes claims brought by one person covered by the insurance against another, including by the company against a director. This is a significant exclusion because a director's duties are owed to the company itself and actions thus brought by the company are a significant potential source of liability. Many D&O policies contain an exception to the insured versus insured exclusion. This is to prevent the manufacturing of a claim for example by the directors of a company breaching a duty and voting to sue themselves to get damages for which the company is insured. D&O policies normally include an exclusion to extend cover to claims brought in the name of the company at the instigation of a receiver, administrator or liquidator. How useful will D & O insurance be in the context of insolvent trading claims? Section 199B and 199C of the Act provide that a company must not pay an insurance premium of the company against a liability arising out of conduct involving a willful breach of duty. So long as the D & O policy excludes such claims from its ambit a company is able to take out effective D & O insurance for its directors and officers. Section 199A prevents a company from indemnifying a director against liability incurred for a pecuniary penalty order or a compensation order under s1317H. What should directors do to protect their assets? 1. Planning your personal asset structure is fundamental to preventing assets being disgorged by a liquidator of your company. 2. Structure ownership of your personal assets not only for taxation purposes but also for asset protection purposes. This needs to be undertaken when you are solvent. The insolvency laws only capture transactions, were it appears that they were executed when the person had or ought to have had knowledge of the insolvency of their company or themselves. 3. Directors should avoid having control of the entities that their assets are held in. One may still be held to be the beneficial owner of assets when it can be proven that one had control over the structure holding the assets. Solutions These solutions are by no means exhaustive but rather indicative of some of the strategies that may be employed. The application of these strategies will be dependant on the individual's circumstances. 3 1. Transfer property such as your residential property to a low risk party such as your spouse. Obviously your spouse cannot be a director of your company if this strategy is undertaken. Recent case law has determined that even directors who take no active role in their company's management cannot avoid insolvent trading liability simply by pleading that they did not understand their role and responsibilities. 2. Transfer property into a discretionary trust allowing your family to be the beneficial owners of your property. This mechanism also protects your property in the event you die and your spouse commences a relationship with someone else. That person may not be able to claim a share in the property subject to the trust as your spouse may not be the beneficial owner of the property. Bloodline Testamentary Trusts may be useful in such situations. 3. Placing contributions with a Superannuation Fund. Recently Funds have not performed very well with respect to deriving returns to contributors however superannuation funds have over the long term provided one of the best returns when compared to the stock market and property. In a recent High Court case it was held that superannuation contributions made before a person becomes bankrupt are unavailable for claw-back by the trustee in bankruptcy and therefore not recoverable by the bankrupt's creditors provided they were made as arm's length, commercial transactions. Placing such superannuation contributions with a recognised fund will satisfy the arm's length and commercial provisions. 4. Separate your trading entities from your asset holding entities. A basic example would be to place your assets in a discretionary trust such as your residential property whilst operating your business as a company. What about your inheritance? If you are entitled to receive an inheritance then in the event of your bankruptcy your inheritance will form part of your divisible assets amongst your creditors. Accordingly it is prudent to advise those who are proposing to bequeath property to you to set up a trust structure in order to prevent any inheritance potentially becoming available to your creditors in the event of your insolvency. Again in these instances a Bloodline Testamentary Trust is a useful tool. Lastly as the saying goes "prevention is better than cure" is very appropriate in these circumstances. However experience has shown that in many instances insolvency was unforeseen and could not have been prevented especially in the prevailing volatile economic conditions and accordingly being prudent about ones financial affairs whilst solvent is becoming an issue we may all have to deal with. Conclusion Directors need to be aware of their duties and obligations of holding office. Business by necessity carries commercial risk. Directors can, if they structure their affairs properly avoid losing all their assets if there is a commercial disaster. Although the above strategies protect directors in case of civil actions, there is no such protection from criminal actions. Directors must at all times ensure they are undertaking their duties diligently with due care. 4 References: 1. Directors' duties during insolvency, Hellen Horningston Lawbook Company 2001. 2.

How often can you fertilize tomato with water-soluble fertilizer?
Silvia, Tom and All the Experts,
How frequently should you fertilize tomato plants with water-soluble fertilizer?
Well, look at what the label tells you to do. If you want to fertilize twice as frequently as they recommend then make a solution 1/2 as strong as they say. If you want to fertilizer 4 times as frequently then make a solution 1/4 as strong. Probably you should just water it once in a while though without the fertilizer. I do it once a week or whenever I can remember anyway.
Well here is the hilarious thing: at Scotts'/Miracle Gro's own product website under "Details & Usage" it actually says, "How often to apply: Product can be used every 7-14 days as desired." Well, it begs the question: how often does the tomato "desire"?! (Certainly they don't mean how often I desire?!) LOL!
Some undefined variables. In the ground or containers? And, if in containers what is the potting mix? What OTHER fertilizer did you add to the soil or potting mix? If a potting mix what fertilizer did it already have?
Soil or mix drainage will define the frequency such that you don't drown the plants. My philosophy is that 1/4 strength is always safer than what they recommend for liquid fertilizers, usually applied about twice as frequently IF you have good drainage. BUT, a lot depends on what else you've done in the way of additional fertilizers.
Tom, are you implying that this discussion could all be symbolic? I'll have to think about that.
By the way, the tomatoes are your famous special tomatoes (Everglads); they are in the ground (not containers); they are in rich soil with some Black Cow stirred into the soil before planting; they are in full sun from about noon through sunset (7-8 hours per day), and the soil drains fairly quickly.
Handgrenades and horseshoes ;-)
I use well rotted chicken manure but finding a well rotted chicken and waiting for it to poop is the hard part.
I can't use black cow manure because all the cows out in the pasture are brown.
I tried the topsy turvy method with my pots up-side-down but it made the dang maters hard to pick.
Now I bonsai my tomato plants to keep them short, that way those ugly red globes don't grow on them and everything stays nice and green.
Well, I'll chime in with a straight face, MOL..... my 'maters are all in pots, and need water at least twice a day, I mix up some MG in a bucket and pour some into each bucket I have next to each plant, I keep that water-bucket there so all I have to do is dip out some water and not drag the hose all over the yard.. so essentially I am giving each 'mater some liquid fertilizer each time I water...I won't even speculate at what strength but the water is blue, from the MG... most of my 'maters are getting pretty big, they are from last year's planting Tom brought me.... but they are still setting fruit so I keep them going even tho' they are pot-bound now.....I speculate that the only thing that keeps them going is the liquid fert., by now, because any other nutrient in the potting-mix has been long-gone..... works for me.... sally

Blowdown at Becida: Northern Hubbard County takes a pounding
What happened last week in northern Hubbard County is called a blowdown.
It could just as well have been called a bomb.
The end result was similar.
The Becida region and the state's newest park fell victim to 80+ mph winds.
The La Salle State Recreation Area campground has reopened, but there is a noticeable lack of shade for the camp spots. In a good news-bad news case, the lakefront campsites have a better vista.

Du Preez to debut in Udine
November 19, 2009
Italy boss Nick Mallett has rung the changes for his side's meeting with South Africa © Getty Images
Italy coach Nick Mallett has wielded the axe ahead of his side's meeting with South Africa in Udine on Saturday, with Mauro Bergamasco, Tito Tebaldi, Leonardo Ghiraldini, Kaine Robertson and Gonzalo Canale all dropping out of the starting XV.
In the backs, Alberto Sgarbi joins Gonzalo Garcia in the centre, while Simon Picone slots in at scrum-half alongside Craig Gower. The third change comes on the wing, where Matteo Pratichetti starts in place of Robertson, who drops out of the 22. In the pack, experienced Saracens hooker Fabio Ongaro gets the nod ahead of Ghiraldini and there is a shake-up in the back-row.
Talismanic skipper Sergio Parisse starts at No.8 but Alessandro Zanni shifts from the blindside to the openside berth vacated by Bergamasco. The blindside spot is filled by Simone Favaro.
Cheetahs prop Wian du Preez will make his Springbok debut. Du Preez is joined in the front-row by skipper John Smit and recalled hooker Adriaan Strauss. Strauss takes the place of injured Sharks No.2 Bismarck du Plessis, while Tendai Mtawarira makes way for du Preez.
Two further changes come in the pack, where Danie Rossouw slots in to the back-row in place of the injured Schalk Burger and Andries Bekker replaces a rested Victor Matfield. Matfield takes a place on the bench alongside potential new caps Francois Hougaard and Jean Deysel.
Italy: Luke McLean, Matteo Pratichetti, Alberto Sgarbi, Gonzalo Garcia, Mirco Bergamasco, Craig Gower, Simon Picone; Salvatore Perugini, Fabio Ongaro , Martin Castrogiovanni, Carlo Antonio Del Fava , Quintin Geldenhuys , Simone Favaro, Alessandro Zanni , Sergio Parisse (capt),
Replacements: Leonardo Ghiraldini, Ignacio Rouyet, Antonio Pavanello, Josh Sole, Mauro Bergamasco, Tito Tebaldi, Gonzalo Canale
South Africa: Zane Kirchner (Bulls); JP Pietersen (Sharks), Jaque Fourie (Lions), Adi Jacobs (Sharks), Bryan Habana (Stormers); Morne Steyn (Bulls), Fourie du Preez (Bulls); Ryan Kankowski (Sharks), Danie Rossouw (Bulls), Heinrich Brussow (Cheetahs), Andries Bekker (Stormers), Bakkies Botha (Bulls), John Smit (capt, Sharks), Adriaan Strauss (Cheetahs), Wian du Preez (Cheetahs)

A good way to partition the intelligence is to use a hybrid model where the IntelliBrain controller does reactive control while the PC does deliberative control. For example, the PC might determine the robot should go from point A to point B to point C. The PC would tell the robot to go to point B. The IntelliBrain controller would navigate to point B avoiding obstacles in between. The latency of communication between the PC and the robot makes it impractical for the PC to perform demanding real-time tasks such as steering the robot to stay on course.

Eagles' Vick works on field after practice
PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb took a knee on the grass and was joined to his right by Michael Vick.
Vick removed his helmet on a humid Sunday afternoon, smiling and laughing as McNabb cracked jokes to the delight of his Philadelphia Eagles teammates. At one point, McNabb threw himself on the ground in what was likely part of the punchline to a story that had Vick -- somber and contrite two days earlier -- grinning in the baking sun.
If animal activists want Vick treated as a social pariah, they won't get any assistance inside the Eagles locker room. Vick is simply one of the boys with the birds -- practicing plays, sprinting in the heat, and absorbing the hits of some good-natured ribbing.
After completing some short passes, cornerback Asante Samuel yelled out, "that's not the same quarterback from the commercial!" Vick's time as a former pitchman for a sports drink included a commercial where he tossed footballs from the field over the stadium. He attempted no passes that deep -- or had the help of digital wizardry -- in his second practice since signing Thursday for $1.6 million with a team option for a second year at $5.2 million.
Vick earned some admirers when he connected with wide receiver Brandon Gibson for 25 yards on a tough sideline route.
"There you go! There you go! Yes!" wide receivers coach David Culley said, patting Vick on the shoulders.
Vick went 1-for-2 on a goal-line drill as practice closed. One pass into the corner was broken up by cornerback Dimitri Patterson. Vick's next pass attempt was tipped by Patterson, before it was caught for a touchdown.
"He flicks the ball a little like a big kid playing amongst little kids," wide receiver Jason Avant said.
Vick, who did not speak to reporters, did have some extra work. Vick, wearing a white long-sleeve shirt under his red No. 7 jersey, spent 20 more minutes on the field after the 110-minute practice ended, throwing passes to Eagles offensive quality coach Doug Pederson. One incompletion was quickly followed by Vick hitting the ground for a series of push-ups.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said Vick needed to shed about two pounds, and the disgraced QB needs to play catch-up and learn the intricate playbook -- two reasons for staying late while the rest of the team hit the showers.
A three-time Pro Bowl pick during six seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, Vick served 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring. He was reinstated last month by the NFL after being out of action since 2006.
Vick struck instant friendships with his forgiving teammates. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson was attached at the hip every time they weren't involved in a play.
"It's a lot more than just football," Jackson said. "We can just get out there and chill a bit. I can talk to him and get to know him a little bit."
The Eagles returned to some sense of normalcy Sunday. No protesters waved signs or brought their dogs outside the team practice complex. The media contingent was reduced to mostly the regular beat writers, not the 100-plus members who stuffed the auditorium for Vick's news conference on Friday. That number should swell on Monday when McNabb addresses the media for the first time since officially having Vick as a practice teammate.
McNabb again threw his support behind Vick on his blog Sunday night. McNabb said he explained his position to Reid in mid-July why Vick and the Eagles would be a strong match. They discussed Vick again one more time in training camp.
"I know what Michael was accused and convicted of, and I don't like it at all," McNabb wrote. "I have had dogs all my life and consider myself a dog-lover. I am in no way excusing Michael for what happened but he was punished for his crime. He served his time and, at least I believe, has learned from it. I believe Michael is a changed person and that he deserves a chance at putting his life back together."
The Eagles believe they help rehabilitate Vick's image, and that he can help them win that elusive first Super Bowl.
Reid has been adamant that Vick was signed to play quarterback, even though his speed and dazzling playmaking make him a better fit as a gimmick player than a pocket passer. Offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg expected Vick to be worked into the Wildcat offense. The offense is usually a deceptive, single-wing formation that snaps the ball directly to the running back and can turn quarterbacks into wide receivers.
And it makes an all-purpose player like Vick become the most unpredictable player on the field.
"Just being on that other sideline, from a defensive standpoint, dangerous, scared are all words that describe the feelings running through defensive coaches," Eagles defensive coordinator Sean McDermott said.
And what about special teams? Coordinator Ted Daisher said Vick has the athletic ability to play on special teams, but deferred questions about Vick's specific role to Reid.
The Eagles have time to figure it all out. Once the season begins, Vick can participate in all team activities except games. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he would consider Vick for full reinstatement by Week 6 (Oct. 18-19) at the latest.
"We just can't wait to have him all the time," Avant said.

The Eternal Quest for the Perfect White Paint
I'm hoping GWers can help me out of my white paint quandary. I'm looking for the right white to paint my living room - the windows face southeast, so it gets a lot of sunlight in the morning and throughout the day as we move into summer.
As a result, I was thinking I wanted a cooler white than what I've liked in other places in the house -- BM Acadia because it seems like it would be too creamy (the other rooms I've used it in are on the opposite side of the house and don't get direct sunlight) and BM Simply White because it's too "white".
I've got a bunch of chips taped to the wall and was thinking BM White Dove, but now I'm wondering how that will go with all the wood/warm tones I have in the furniture and art -- my sofa is brick red, the Moroccan coffee table has small tiles in a similar red and a wrought iron base, most of the furniture pieces(and picture frames) are medium to dark brown oak, floor has Navajo rugs overlapping a large jute area rug.
So maybe I should do Acadia after all? Am I over-thinking the "warm light/cool white" pairing?
I'm afraid the pics I have of the living room were taken at night, so until I can get some daylight ones this weekend, here are a couple inspiration pics to give you an idea of what I'm aiming for.
Of all the paint chips in the world, which white would you pick?
Since every room is different the only way to know is to choose for yourself in your own room. Really, no one can tell you what is the best color for your home. This has been said by every color expert in the world.
For what it's worth (really nothing ;-D) I find White Dove too grey for me altho I know it's recommended a lot. I don't have any white rooms in my home but used Ben Moore Simply White for the trim. It's a more neutral white than many and good with brown tones which several of my walls are.
Here's a great link that hopefully will help you choose the best white.
Here is a link that might be useful: How to pick perfect paint colors
Is your home South Western as the inspiration pics show? One of the things I love about these homes is the option for colors which are historic. There was a museum home in NM I visited which had each room painted with the colors made from nature's mediums. I would look and see what whites are available to match the natural wonders. When selling my home, the realtor actually had me repaint one room to do this and work with the environment I was in.
I'll be very interested in all responses! When we first moved into our house and stripped off all the vinyl wallpaper, I wanted to paint everything close to pure white, which I consider fresh looking. Dh insisted "that is not how people decorate", and we compromised finally on BM Linen White, which is a creamier color. It read pink on my walls, and I hated it. For the two or three years we had it up (we don't get around to painting that often), I actually felt uncomfortable and stressed in the house. I've read a lot over the years on how to deal with those rows of white paint chips, and here's a good discussion of how to do it-
Here is a link that might be useful: frugal farmhouse
Thanks for your responses! The articles on narrowing down color choices and getting the pigment formula were very helpful.
The room definitely has a southwestern flavor even though I'm near DC(I used to live in NM and have family there) - I'd describe my decorating style as "Santa Fe adobe meets Maine cottage."
We're having unseasonably sunny weather right now and I moved the paint chips to the wall opposite the windows -- in the direct sunlight, the White Dove looked better than it did on the wall perpendicular to the window (and on an overcast day), and the Acadia looked too creamy.
On both walls, the Simply White was too bright for what I'm going for (though it's perfect on the trim and ceiling in the kitchen and bath - both rooms with little/no direct light).
This will be an interesting project - it's good I'm not facing a deadline! Any other whites I should be considering?
Thanks again!
Just had my entire house painted last month and my decorators (sister and niece) chose BM "Cotton Balls" for my hall and all the wood trim in my 1910 brick bungalow, including two fireplace mantels. It is a soft white, not gray, not pink, not cold, not too warm.....just right. I'm really happy with all the colors they chose for me.
We had the lobby of our office painted recently and it is "Cotton Blossom" - maybe Sherwin Williams? Another nice white - in indirect sun looks slightly ecru, but is a whiter white in direct sun.
