If you love creative and cohesive instagram accounts, beach scenes, melty ice cream, balloons and lots of dreamy pastels, Maria Marie is one to watch — Such a great eye! My friend Leslie Shewring taught a styling and photography workshop last month in Mexico and returned with wonderful stories to tell of adventure and the people she'd met, including her wonderful students. One immediately interested me because I'd been following her surreal-ish pastel playground on Instagram (@cestmaria) along with 40K others, and was pretty convinced she had been working in a creative field for many years.
That's why when Leslie told me Maria Marie is 27-years-old and not even doing what you see in her photos for a living, I was amazed and had to learn more because those who are working day jobs and filling their creative cups at nights and on the weekends totally inspire me and I'm sure, so many of you out there. Would you like to meet Marioly Vazquez, known online mostly as Maria Marie? That's her above – so cute!
Hi Marioly! It's nice to "meet" you here. can you tell me how you are using the internet to share your creativity?
MM: Yes, of course. I don't formally blog, although I would love to someday. I am microblogging though using Instagram and Tumblr because I love how fast and intuitive their interfaces are and it is so easy to stay in touch with everyone, share instant moments, and report in on the current projects I'm working on. I also have a website here.
Where do you live and what do you do for a living?
MM: Currently I live in Monterrey, an industrial City in the North of Mexico with beautiful mountains in its surroundings. I'm currently working at a museum and a foundation, I love being involved in multidisciplinary projects related to art and culture which supports society's development. Although my days are quite busy, I always find time for my real passion, photography and styling, which I do as a freelancer. I've had the opportunity to work with diverse clients for different campaigns, and I've done some editorial work too.
What do you love about photography?
MM: The possibility of saying a million things with just one image. Being able to provoke different emotions in people and leave them with a feeling of peace and happiness, is one of the most gratifying things. More than just taking photographs, I also love creating the perfect moment and scenario, being playful and capturing it. More importantly I love how photography gives me a sense of peace and purpose and I hope I can transmit that in my work.
What inspired your passion for photography?
MM: My father used to be a hobby photographer and he used a film camera, it was a lovely Canon AE-1. He photographed my brother and me during our holidays, family vacations, or any other milestone event. I remember being so captivated by the sound of the shutter, I instantly wanted to get my hands on the camera. So my father very patiently started teaching me the basics of photography. I got so excited picking up our developed film, it was always an amazing feeling not knowing what would come from the pictures we took together. After several years I received my first digital camera (2.0 megapixels back then!) and that day everything changed. I took my camera with me everywhere, I loved shooting whatever captured my eye. What I loved the most about digital cameras was that I didn't have to spend so much time caught in technicalities, and was able to focus on the composition and concept of my images instead.
When and why did you begin styling?
MM: This started as a necessity, I'm such a wanderer, always imagining worlds, places, moments and beautiful color combinations. I would go out on weekends always trying to discover new places or pretty things to capture, but I never found places I imagined inside my head, and that's when I discovered and started styling. There is no better feeling than giving life to your ideas and imagination. I started drawing and putting together my ideas on paper which helped me conceptualize and organize my projects better. Once I had a complete idea, that's where the fun part began, prop searching! I started creating vignettes in my kitchen, backyard, bedroom, anywhere I could find beautiful light. Since then, styling and photography are things I enjoy and love to do.
You recently took a class with Leslie Shewring, what did you do there and what was your takeaway?
MM: Yes I took her photography and styling class in Baja. Leslie is amazing, and she is so talented and creative. She has a very beautiful aesthetic that is very coherent in all of her work. We learned to work under pressure while styling — for instance, we did a photo shoot with different popsicles under the sun and also took photos of a giant ice cream, which believe me, in those conditions every second counts. I also learned how to take advantage of all the things you have on hand in that moment and to work in very different situations which you did not have in mind. One thing I also enjoyed very much was visiting Patricia Larsen's home for an interior styling photo shoot. I learned a lot about etiquette when you photograph a stranger's home. It is amazing how you learn to see things in different perspectives, it is very fulfilling when you are working with people, and everyone can capture the same moment but each with their very own point of view. That made me understand very well what makes a good photographer and stylist; Leslie's creativity, imagination, eye for the detail and a unique perspective.
What do you ultimately want to do with all of your creative talent?
MM: There are lots of projects I want to do, I've always been so fascinated by beautiful homes and spaces and would love to style interiors, and design sets for photo shoots someday. I wish to continue creating and experimenting either for my personal projects or for a client. I love working and collaborating with different creative people, because you always end up nourishing your head with fresh ideas for new creative and artistic projects, campaigns or editorials. I want to keep collaborating also with different magazines, publications and agencies and eventually publish a book with all my pictures and creative processes inside.
Where do you turn when you are not feeling creative?
MM: Talking about creativity is a really complex subject for me, but I love it. Normally it is creativity that finds me at the most unexpected moments! I've ended up writing my ideas on concert tickets, napkins or even in the palm of my hand. Now that we have cellphones it is obviously easier to take note of whatever comes to my mind. When I have specific projects and I'm not feeling that much creativity it always helps me to just listen to some good music, get away from the computer, grab a beautiful illustrated book or just simply change my perspective. This helps me get away the pressure of creating something instantly and it relaxes my mind and eventually ideas flow. Also a great source of inspiration is Pinterest and Issuu, but I risk on spending too much time on them and not creating, so I limit the time I spend.
Thank you so much Marioly (and also Leslie!) for this chance to get to know more about you. I hope to see a lot more of you online and wish you heaps of success today and onward!

Looking for artistic inspiration? Feel the need to make something with your hands? How about a studio tour and some advice from a fine artist for those of us who want to try our hand at painting? I first found out about fine artist Emily Jeffords (and blogger) through Minted – I was shopping their site for work to install in my home and came across these. And swoon. It was love at first sight.
Then a funny thing happened. Out of the blue, Emily contacted me about possibly appearing on my blog. Fate? I'm not sure how many of you know this about me, but I grew up on the coast in South Carolina, just south of Myrtle Beach. Finding out Emily was a SC girl too (she's in Greenville) sealed the deal – I had to learn more! So I asked her for an interview and studio tour and well, that's exactly what I'm about to share. I found this interview particularly inspiring for mothers with careers and aspiring painters. Let's get started.
1. Hi Emily! First, a little about yourself…
I am an artist and mother of two, working in a 100-year-old light-drenched studio & gallery called the White Whale in Greenville, SC. I create impressionistic landscape oil paintings on canvas featuring lively colors and slightly abstract skies. My desire is for viewers to be reminded of sweet times past while bringing some beauty to life in the present. I began painting as a child and never stopped! Something about the creative process lets me say things that I cannot say with words – expressing feelings and emotions is so exciting to me.
2. Were you classically trained or self-taught?
I graduated with a BFA in 2D fine art, which was so helpful and gave me the confidence to officially call myself an "artist". However, one of the most helpful things for my artistic career has been doing painting-a-day challenges. The discipline and challenge of creating consistently has taught me SO much about myself and about art.
3. What was an advantage of studying fine art and what is your advice for those who didn't study but want to become a working artist?
It helped me think about creativity in a whole new way. However, I really don't think you have to go to college to achieve that. In a way, all artists are self-taught. No one can train your eyes or your hands. That's all on you. If you're interested in becoming an artist (sans school) here is what I would do: try everything, test out new tools and materials, study the masters, attend workshops taught be professional artists, and soak up as much inspiration as you can!
4. What do you love about being a mother and also working as a painter?
Having my girls in my studio brings life and joy to my space and to my work. I can see their influence on my color pallete, subject matter, everything. They make me stop, notice, and enjoy life a little more.
5. What do you find challenging about having kids and a career?
My girls have grown up in my studio and around artwork, so they understand the ebb and flow of the creative process. But, they are young, and they are normal kids! When I create, it is so easy to slip into a wonderful focused "headspace": I block out the world, getting lost in the movement and motion of the process. That's a little hard to do while also parenting.
6. How did you handle that challenge?
When I moved into a studio outside of our home I really wanted to be sure that my girls felt like this is their space to learn and create as well. When they feel involved in the creative process they're on my side. I talk with them about my ideas and deadlines and in return they tell me about theirs! — we have "mini art" shows pretty frequently and they're always working on a painting for someone special. ;)
7. How do you balance family/work –what is a day in your life like?
Oh goodness, no day is the same … but, if I were to mash them together and come up with an average: mornings spent with my girls at home, some days their tutor comes to the house, others they come with me to the studio, but either way, I head to the studio around 11 am where I spend about 2-3 hours painting. In the afternoon my intern and studio manager might join me, we'll package prints, mail goodness, send emails, keep all the wheels turning… We have dinner together as a family as often as possible, the girls go to bed and my husband and I relax and do a little more work. Work/life balance is a myth. It's more of a juggle. The key is communicating with the people in my life, coordinating our needs and finding ways to support each other as often as possible.
8. How have you marketed your work?
My "marketing strategy" feels incredibly natural and organic. I simply make an effort to share my artwork and process consistently. I've found that people want to take part in creativity – even if they cannot create it themselves every day.
9. What is your greatest achievement so far as a painter and what goals do you have for your work going forward?
I think the process; the days all stacked together are my greatest achievement. There are highs and lows and many days in between, but maintaining my passion throughout the journey is something I am super proud of. I would love to collaborate on some more artistic collaborations with some dreamy brands and fashion designers over the next couple years to create products that mix fine art with everyday objects. Having people interact with art in every day ways is super exciting to me.
10. What advice can you give those who want to paint but are too scared to "mess up"?
The scariest thing is to start a painting, or anything, really, telling yourself that this thing must be Perfect. It won't be. Every painting is a practice. Some are going to please you more than others, but the process is the art. Giving yourself space to practice and to try new things is so healthy for your creativity.
Beautiful! Inspiring! Now I want to paint! That's what a great interview and studio tour does I guess. Motivates.

Hi again! Next, I want to share this incredible homewares shop called Shelter 7 that I found through Tara Pearce, a brilliant photographer who wrote in earlier this week about Shelter 7, since she recently shot it and hoped I'd be open to sharing it on decor8. Of course, I said YES!
Styled by Sami Johnson, this shop shoot came out so nice! I thought though that I'd go above and beyond sharing her amazing visuals and so I made contact with the shop owners to learn more about who they are and what they do. I've included my interview the Shelter 7 founders, husband and wife team Rebecca and Terry Meyer, below.
For a jumbo-sized view of the above image, click here.
First of all, where are you located?
S7: We're at 131 Ryrie Street, Geelong, Victoria Australia
How did you come up with the name Shelter 7?
S7: The name took a long time to come up with. We wanted an original name to capture the essence of where we live, so we went back to basics and came up with Shelter 7.
Can you tell us about your shop – the inspiration behind it?
S7: The shop is very much an extensions of mine and my husband's love of unique and inspirational pieces. A combination of travel and vintage pieces sourced across the globe and some unique and very clever Australian designers.
For a jumbo-sized view of the above image, click here.
Describe your style in a few words:
S7: A combination of old, new, unique and well designed.
What are some popular brands in your shop?
S7: Pony Rider, Kip & Co, and La De Dah Kids for children's toys.

Tell us about La De Dah Kids because I heard that this is also your company. What do you design?
S7: La De Dah Kids is our toy and kids accessories brand and our own unique designs. We design two ranges a year with the aim to design quirky and unusual pieces, with an ever-present emphasis on both affordability and quality. For our niche product range, we use old school making techniques such as knitting and crocheting. Our products are all made from the finest 100% cotton yarn and produced ethically in the comfort of our producers homes enabling them to work around their family needs such as child care etc. Our La De Dah Kids products are not only our own unique designs but are also made with love. They are tailored towards both children and the child at heart, lovers of the quirky and unusual, and anyone who reaches out to the amazing world with imagination, wonder and creativity.
The bicycle print over the stairs – can you tell us more about that?
S7: This is created by Australian designers Pony Rider. They create versatile and inspiring pieces that look great thrown across your sofa, bed or hung as an artwork in the home.
Can you tell us about the shop space – it looks old and interesting. Did you have to renovate?
S7: The space had amazing light – but needed a huge amount of work to bring it back to life. It previously had been a costume shop for about 10 years. After a long 3 months of renovating and many late nights we found that we had uncovered the beauty and old character of the building. This gave our collection of sourced products the perfect home.
What challenges do you face as a shop owner?
S7: The work life balance is a big one and something that we have to constantly reassess.
S7: We know that whilst the business is in it infantile stages this is difficult to overcome. So being aware of these problems and planning ahead the best we can.
What advice to do you have for others who want to launch a shop, whether online or brick and mortar?
S7: Ensure that you have a strong product line and strong and unique imagery that sets you apart from all your competitors.
Can you tell us more about the candles with the rifles on them? I want one!
S7: These are amazing aren't they? This is a beautiful boutique brand in Sydney called Pigeon and Weasel. Their Triple scented soy wax candles are hand poured here in Australia into recycled glass beer bottles that the two co-founders collect from there local drinking hole. The scents are beautiful.
Can you tell us about the textiles on the hooks and the pillows? I'm in love!
S7: These are created by the very talented local Australian girls Kip & Co. They make the most beautiful bedlinen, towels and now rugs. Their designs are very unique and inspired by unique, wild, and brave art and nature, soaked up on their backpacking adventures around the globe.
Who makes the big pillow shown above?
S7: Again this is another of the lovely Pony Riders designs. These cushions are perfect for lazing around on a slow sunday afternoon.
Where do you source products for your store?
S7: We source products all over — from local designers here in Australia. We produce our own kids range and next year we will launch our adults line of homewares under the Shelter 7 brand.
Where do you go online for inspiration?
S7: Pinterest, photographers and decorating blogs are my biggest inspiration for the home.
Do you find blogs helpful in promoting your work and shop and if so, why?
S7: Blogs are very helpful in promoting our work on a global platform and also for finding shops. I know before I go on holidays I often research my favourite blogs for the "go-to" places and bloggers definitely do a great job of keeping us up to date on new and interesting places to visit.
Thank you so much, especially for sharing your gorgous shop and tips on new and inspiring products, with us today. Have a great weekend!

Hello friends! Today I have a special interview with London-based stylist and author Emily Chalmers. But first, I hope that your day is going well for you. We just signed on our new apartment about an hour ago and the renovations begin next week (already!), so I'm living fast and crazy at the moment. The baby is doing so well too – I've entered my third trimester and my 29th week begins on Monday. I heard his heart beat again today at my appointment and he's kicking as I type this, so he's a feisty and strong little fellow. Pregnancy feels fun (finally) and though I still deal with nausea, I'm over the hard part so I'm living more normally again. Yay for that! Ok, so let's get started shall we? Let's meet Emily Chalmers!
I recently had a friendly little convo with London-based stylist, shop owner and book author, Emily Chalmers and you are invited to listen in below. Her books and life in general are so interesting to me, and she became a first time mom not too long ago and this made me want to chat with her even more – to see how she's managing everything! Since she had her baby, she's been traveling with her little bundle to some really inspiring places like Japan, so I wanted to tap in to her energetic and bohemian mother goddess self. I still feel quite clueless about the road ahead with my baby due and so many people tell me that you have no life once you have kids but I want to think that I still can have my own identity so chatting with women like Emily make me feel very positive and encouraged! Let us begin…
Hi Emily! Okay, so you recently moved – where are you living in London these days?
Emily: We've lived in the same area of London for years now – we love the East End! After 8 1/2 happy years in an old warehouse space in central Shoreditch we're now just 3 years in to a "proper" house (with internal walls and central heating this time!) very near Columbia Road area, a few minutes walk from the old place. I love this spot – we have parks and a city farm near by, the canal's not far away, and excellent transport links to anywhere else we might want to go. We're also under a minute away from the vibrant market that takes place every Sunday on Columbia Road itself. Live music, good food, bric-a-brac and masses and masses of fresh flowers and plants. What a treat!
You also closed up shop but I understand you reopened it at home or? And how are your running it, by appointment only?
Emily: In the year following our house move I was due to move the Caravan shop premises as our lease had come to an end on Redchurch Street and the building was due for extensive renovation. I'd known this was coming up, of course, and had kept an eye out in the locality. Coincidentally I'd seen an available space very near our future new home and for some reason I kept going back to it – it was smaller than the previous shop and in a very different sort of location, tucked away under a block of flats in a much quieter area on the outskirts of Shoreditch and very near Columbia Road. We'd only been in our new home for a few months when I discovered I was expecting a baby. Suddenly everything fell into place and the premises around the corner became the perfect spot for Caravan! That Spring I secured Caravan's next home – it hadn't been used as a shop for a long time and with the help of a trusty builder we stripped it out and created a light and airy simple open space to make room for the 3 floors-worth of bits I'd managed to accumulate at Redchurch Street. I spent the following months editing stock and turning my attention to our online store. Baby Bunty arrived that winter and I then gradually built up a shop floor again whilst getting to grips with my new life as a mother too.
How is shop ownership with a toddler working out?
Emily: It's been an interesting time, Bunty has moved from pram to playpen to playhouse in the shop next to me each day and it's an extension of home to her now. We're only a few steps away from our front door and always going back and forth, a good server system and a trusty laptop allows me to work from any location – it's this flexibility that has allowed me to enjoy my time with the baby while keeping the business running. Customers visited by appointment while I was working out of the new space piled floor to ceiling with boxes. Even though we're more organised now, this system still works best as I can remain hands-on in every aspect of the business and we can plan around Bunty's schedule too. Seeing customers by appointment also adds a far more personal touch – it's like having a visitor every time someone pops by and means I can be prepared for them.
What kinds of things do you sell?
Emily: The Caravan inventory has always been a mixed bag! We sell mainly home decoration, cushions, candle holders, wall sconces, mirrors, lighting, etc. alongside eclectic and unusual ornaments and gifts, such as little knitted dogs, baby shoes and tea towels. We also offer a few pieces of jewellery and some very lovely gold and silver leather clogs, so there are things to wear too. Our signature pieces are our vintage fabric covered cushions, vintage silk scarf drapes and a beautiful pineapple wall sconce that is produced especially for the store.
You still have an online shop, are you running that mostly full-time now?
Emily: The online shop continues 24/7 and is an area of the business that fits in very well with family life. I can pack parcels any time of the day and night – and often do! I am an established interiors author and stylist and I've always continued to produce features for magazines alongside running the shop. When I was fitting out the shop floor I made sure everything can be moved easily – I've kept the space very flexible too so that we can shoot there and work on other projects.
What are some current decorating trends that you've spotted in London lately?
Emily: We are surrounded by decorating trends here in London, especially in the area I live. There seem to be so many trends around – it's lovely to see that everything goes nowadays. What I have noticed is that everything seems very much more considered than it did a few years ago. It's as if people are just more aware of interiors generally. I've always been a fan of a more eclectic bohemian approach and this is definitely still a strong look generally.
What other things are you involved in – do you do styling jobs on the side or is your daughter and shop enough at the moment?
Emily: I do manage the odd styling job on the side and it tends to be in my shop or home. Bunty and Caravan are probably enough to be getting on with, but much of what I do crosses over, so it all works out somehow.
You are a new mom, how old is your daughter and what has motherhood taught you?
Emily: Bunty will be 2 years old next month. In a strange way, time has flown by but I've also managed to savour every moment. Ooooh, motherhood has taught me so much – I don't even know where to begin with this question! Motherhood has helped me appreciate my life more too, it has helped me to simplify things and concentrate on what works best for me at this point in time. It is full of challenges and then, of course, of achievements. I love it!
Do you think that having a child changes a woman, and if so, how has it changed you?
Emily: Yes, I do think having a child can change a woman. Perhaps not every woman though, it depends on how you approach it. Like everything in life! I'm not sure how it has changed me but it has certainly developed me.
Have you noticed whether or not your daughter has a creative knack yet like you do and if so, in what ways?
Emily: Children are incredibly imaginative. I see this in Bunty and it's a joy to nurture that quality and create a safe and secure environment so you can stand back, give enough space, and allow it to grow. Seeing Bunty setting out her little tea set in her playhouse in the shop is wonderful! The other day she gathered up three crows (we sell ornamental crow figures at Caravan), set them down in a neat row and put little pots in front of them and then said "crows having water" – I thought that was particularly creative seeing as she's not even been on this earth for 2 years yet!
You author a few of my most precious and beloved books – you have really inspired me over the years. Do you have plans to do more books?
Emily: What a wonderful thing to say, thank you Holly, to hear my books have inspired is the highest compliment. I will definitely be doing more books in the future and I should imagine they will always be decorating related in some way – that's my raison d'être!
What do you love about living in London and where are your favorite, inspirational haunts from cafes to shopping?
Emily: I love living in London – I love the spirit and vibrancy here and how you can find whatever you need or want, somewhere. I love the cultural mix and the creative energy, the fact that new things pop up all the time, alongside the good established, old things. I love the shopping opportunities and most of all the markets – there are many around London but those in my home area never cease to keep me interested and inspired – Brick Lane, Columbia Road, Spitalfields Antiques Market, Broadway Market and so on. There are some great cafes around – my local favourites have to include the Towpath Cafe on the Regents Canal and a new local favourite is Stories on Broadway Market where they won my heart by giving Bunty her own tiny fruit shake in a little milk bottle with a straw, when I'd only ordered one for myself and was planning to share it. It's the extra thoughtful touches like that that make a place more special.
And finally, tell us where you go online for inspiration – who do you read, where do you shop for things, etc.?
Emily: I go online for inspiration far less than I'd like to say I do. I'm surrounded by inspiration in my busy day-to-day life so any extra found digitally is always a treat! Having Bunty has allowed me to discover the wealth of and occasionally dip into beautiful online shops for children. I also enjoy finding things on eBay for her. What I tend to do is miss the daily reads and instead I catch up with favourite blogs from time to time. Running a business around a little one means more often than not I spend my evenings working though occasionally I'll plan an early night and will find time to have a proper blog surf, going from one to another, catching up on what you've been up to at decor8 and pouring over sites like Etsy too. What joy!
Some of my favorite things from Emily's online shop are shown above: 1. LouLou 2. Trunk jug set 3. Modern Vintage Style by Emily Chalmers 4. Metal storage box 5. Ceramic container 6. Gold beakers 7. Ceramic bell lamp 8. Poodle lamp.
Thank you Emily for sharing your world with decor8 readers, it's a pleasure to meet with you!

MONTHLY VACATION RENTAL - Located along Oregon's spectacular, rugged Wild River's Coast, the estate is perched atop the one of the highest hills in Gold Beach with unsurpassed views of the mouth of the Rogue River and Pacific Ocean beyond.
You will arrive at the end of a private road which insures our guests the utmost in privacy and security. The house has over 5,000 square feet of comfortable living space on three levels, plus over 1,000 feet of decking from which to enjoy the fabulous scenery. In addition to the 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, there is a fully-equipped media/entertainment room complete with surround sound.
There is a library for reading and meditation, as well as a large parlor that doubles as a dining room to accommodate large gatherings and formal dinner parties. Built in speakers provide relaxing stereo music throughout the main floor.
For more casual cooking, there is a Weber gas barbecue located on the main level deck outside. The separate master suite, with en suite bath that includes an oval jacuzzi tub, is located on the ground floor, with direct access to the large hot tub that accommodates 10. The entire house features large panoramic double-pane Anderson windows to bring the outside in. If one wants to reconnect for a bit, there are four TVs, all on cable, placed strategically throughout the house.
I was out fishing on the Rogue River one vacation day and noticed the house on the hill and thought it was just beautiful. To my surprise and delight, it turned out to be for sale. So I bought it and planned to move from Los Angeles to this beautiful, luxury wilderness retreat. But life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it and I met a California girl who would not budge; so we got married and stayed in California. I decided it was a shame to let the house sit empty, and I couldn't bear to give it up, so I started renting it out.
John Upshur or Lindsey Baker Upshur purchased this house in 2002
This is house unique in that it has expansive view of the Rogue River where it empties into the Pacific ocean. There are breathtaking views from the expansive glass windows and 1,000 ft. of decking on which to enjoy the view. In addition, the extensive use of glass throughout the house brings the outdoors inside.
We are on a private street less than five minutes from Gold Beach Harbor and HWY 101. Is it is secluded but conveniently located to all local attractions.
Just check out the photos to see how beautiful the house really is; we think you will agree.
World class fishing, convenient to world class golf courses, expansive, roomy yet cozy rooms, great for get togethers or private getaways, lots of outdoor sports and exploring, wonderful neighbors and lots more.
Thank you for letting us stay in your fantastic home. It was like being in the sky with the birds. The views were so beautiful. The house is so big, you can get lost in it. We had a wonderful time with my sister. Also had a few friends come and stay for a few days. Everthing you need is here. If you have trouble climbing stairs, better look for another place to stay.
We'll be going home in a few days, and we'll miss being here. Our dogs also had a great time.
Thanks again John, we'll never forget this trip.
Paulette, Don, Cookie and Bobby
John has had some renters in the past that did alot of damage to this beautiful home which he has tried to rectify. John will probably need to replace some carpet due to renters allowing their dogs to urinate in the house. He and his property manager had the carpets cleaned & deordorized twice prior to our arrival. I believe that when you rent a home you should treat it with care and keep it clean. Some believe that when you pay a $250 cleaning fee they don't need to do anything.
We appreciate being allowed to have our mini schnauzer with us and take care that she does not do any damage. This home really is a "hilltop" home - there is no one higher than you are and the views are like none in the world. We took some pictures of sunsets we are enlarging to place in our home. The owner, John, is a very personable, kind man and is available if you can't get ahold of the property manager Glenda . Glenda was always "johnning on the spot" whenever I called. I would recommend this home to anyone who would like to stay in a luxury home with all the ammenities. The Rogue River Jet ride is something everyone should do. Five Star Fishing is something you may want to consider if you want to go deep sea fishing - my husband went twice and caught his limit each time. Two shops we enjoyed were Sweetbriers (she makes fantastic fudge) and the Myrtle wood store which has a variety of items made from the Myrtle tree which grows only in southwestern Oregon. We hope to come back some day to this lovely home.
Antiquing, art galleries, beach-combing, biking, bird watching, boating, clam digging, crabbing, fine dining, fishing - fresh and salt water (including world-famous salmon), golf - both championship and miniature, hiking, horseback riding, jet boat trips, jet skiing, kayaking, museums, picnicking, sightseeing, specialty shopping, surfing - body and board, swimming, water skiing, wildlife viewing, windsurfing, wine tours, and wilderness trips.
Drive up or down the spectacular Wild River's Coast of Southern Oregon or just relax around the house and play parlor games, watch TV or listen to music or the sounds of the nearby ocean waves breaking against the shore. There are also special activities for kids, such as Kids Castle and playground in our local Buffington Park and the adventure center within walking distance down at the Port.
Other Activities: golf, fishing, white water rafting

Sebastian Junger on War
Tuesday, May 11, 2010
Journalist Sebastian Junger, journalist and author of The Perfect Storm, discusses War, his new book about the platoon he embedded with in Afghanistan.
→ Events: Tonight, Sebastian Junger will be at Barnes & Noble at Union Square and on Thursday, May 13, Brian Williams interviews Sebastian Junger at the 92Y.
Guests:Sebastian Junger
Comments [3]
I heard Mr. Junger on today's show -- he is wrong to say the Afghans are as opposed to the Taliban as they were in 2003 -- recent polls show the reverse is true, even among women, and that they are increasingly disillustioned with us and NATO. See Reuters story, May 7, "Taliban Talks Back in Focus."
Obama should back negotiations with the Taliban.

20.04.08 - Chris Henry, of Houston, Texas, was defeated Saturday night by #1 World Boxing Council Contender Adrian Diaconu in Bucharest, Romania by a unanimous decision, in the 175 lbs. limit Interim Light Heavyweight Championship. The scoring was: 115-113 Oren Shellenberger (Texas); 115-113 Victor Panin (Russia); 116-112 Mark Green (United Kingdom)..
Henry, 21-1, went into the fight as the #3 WBC Contender but was not given much of a chance to win the fight but he almost pulled it out on the scorecards. WBC Executive VP Mauricio Sulaiman was very proud of his performance and hopes Henry continues to compete for WBC titles.
Chris Henry
I congratulate Diaconu on the victory, but come on. He was holding me like a baby, ducking and grabbing me around my knees all night. I cant believe they allowed him to get away with it. The referee (Michael Griffin) of Canada was way overmatched, definitely not strong enough to handle the two of us, and just let the local guy (Diaconu) do whatever he wanted to do. Im sure his knees are all scraped up. Even the fans turned on him after a while.
The promoter, Chris Ganescu and his staff, treated us well here and we became acclimated to the time difference. We really liked it hear but I was planning on coming home with the WBC belt.
I plan to stay busy, possibly defend my North American Boxing Federation title and generally be ready for another title fight. I did what I wanted to do in there, but I cant fight two men at once.
I had been inactive for eight months, and I had a little rust. But, Diaconu was off for 11 months. The lighter gloves affected me a little because I had been training with much bigger gloves, but that is not an excuse.
Ronnie Shields, Trainer of Chris Henry
I dont have to be diplomatic like my fighter Chris Henry. Chris won this fight. He did enough to win tonight. We didnt have to fly across the world into this guys hometown and partisan fans when we could have had a neutral location. However, Chris is a competitor and just wants to face a challenge.
The referee just wasnt competent or fair. In the 10th Chris knocks Diaconu through the ropes and the ref doesnt call a knockdown! Those two points right there cost us the fight. All night long the guy was holding and wrapping his arms around anything he
could reach, mostly Chriss knees. I respect Diaconu as a world class fighter, who
will certainly do anything to win, and that is why the referee has to be there to enforce the rules and warn these guys and take points away if necessary to get there attention so it wont be tolerated.
All in all Chris handled this the way a mature young man should and this experience can only help him in the future.

Congress's international boondoggles
- By Annie LowreyAnnie Lowrey is assistant editor at FP.
The Wall Street Journal leads with a great investigative piece on the overseas trips of members of U.S. congress. The travel tab, charged to the taxpayer, has increased ten-fold since 1995 — and many trips are of, well, dubious importance to U.S. citizens. Money quote:
Last summer, Rep. Brian Baird (D., Wash.) took a four-day trip to the Galápagos Islands with his wife, four other lawmakers and their family members. The lawmakers spent $22,000 on meals and hotels, records show. Mr. Baird, a member of the House Science Committee, said the trip was to learn about global warming.
On the first day, lawmakers toured a breeding center for giant tortoise and land iguanas before dining with scientists, according to an itinerary for the trip. The next morning, lawmakers headed to the Galápagos National Park while their family members had the option of hiking, swimming or shopping. That afternoon, the group boarded a boat to visit a sea-lion colony and search for white-tip sharks.
Mr. Baird didn't respond to a request for comment.

Strange but true: NBA 2, Padres 1 in TV ratings
Think we've heard that one, too.
"This is going to be bigger than hockey in about a decade, and that's no disrespect for hockey," Hill continued.
"I see what ESPN's doing with the World Cup; (they're) not treating this as a niche sport. They're treating this as a mainstream sport. I think with this exposure and the more people that see it, it's like dropping a pebble in a pond. I think those ripples keep going out.
" … It just seems to me, just looking at it again without any hard facts to go on, that it's just something that's happening, and you can never stand in the way of a groundswell of public opinion."
No, but you can express some healthy skepticism. So put me down.
Flipping channels
• To make room for soccer, Fox's weekly baseball game will be in prime time, at least on the East Coast. Here, we'll be seeing Tigers-Dodgers at 4:10 p.m. Another prime-time event is scheduled for June 26 (Yankees-Dodgers), and Fox is eager to try more next year. I can't imagine teams (like the Padres) would be happy with too many night games, unless Fox is willing to give up exclusivity for some of them.
• After yet another break, the NBA playoffs resume Saturday (East) and Sunday (West). Come on, can't we just start the Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals now? Maybe play best of 11?
• French Open coverage starts Sunday and will be shared by Tennis Channel, ESPN2 and NBC. Most days through the first week and a half, Tennis Channel will be on from 2 a.m. until 9 a.m. and ESPN2 will go from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. NBC starts May 29.
• Two shows, same station, two very different approaches to some Internet rumors this week about LeBron James and a teammate. On the always-excellent Fox Sports Radio show featuring Tony Bruno, the host refused to discuss the story because he didn't know if it was true. On the not-so-excellent local XTRA Sports 1360 show featuring Chris Ello, the host let some gossip columnist from a sister station go on and on about the rumors, and he let her pass along the "news" that a Chargers player (who they named) was in Las Vegas recently hanging out with some stripper. So what? I'll take the network approach, thank you.

There were a few standard sequences that figured in mime performances at the Government College for Women on the third day of the Kerala University's youth festival on Friday.
One particularly popular one involved scenes from the military, beginning with a young soldier leaving grief-stricken parents, participating in drills and classes on strategy, fighting along the front lines, and concluding with his funeral complete with State honours. Other was of love stories gone wrong, another was critical of the proliferation of mobile technology in our lives, and still others touched upon issues such as environment and water conservation.
This essentially summed up the themes that were featured on stage, despite the fact there were nearly 60 different teams that had enrolled for the programme.
So similar were some of the performances that members of the audience wondered aloud whether the contestants did indeed have to abide by a predetermined theme. Others surmised that the same few 'gurus' or trainers had taught the different teams, resulting in the uniformity. Such uncannily similar performances, even in terms of the background music and sound effects, made it difficult for the audience to distinguish one favourite. Moreover, the event began over two hours after the scheduled time of 9 a.m.
Contestants, in teams of five and six, were given five minutes to convey an idea effectively without uttering a single syllable out loud. Though the choice of themes was largely unimaginative, some teams were more effective in their manner of communication, eliciting gasps, laughter, and even applause from the audience.Diversity in costumes
Some wove in extraordinary stunts into their presentation by forming human pyramids in seconds and performing somersaults and cartwheels in a carefully choreographed routine. There was diversity in terms of costumes, with some wearing loose, frilly, clown-like costumes, and others opting for simple single-hued outfits with gloved hands and painted faces. There was one team that stood out in terms of its outfit and choice of theme. Painted teal, they made generous use of the stage space, and concluded with all members leaping off the stage and sprinting right through the audience and the back door of the auditorium. It began with what many interpreted as an Adam and Eve storyline, again rendering a distinctive quality compared to the uniformity of the other performances.

I live in Morocco in a city where I have absoloutely no fellowship at all and I would just like you to know how much Mr. MacArthur's sermons has taught me and made me grow. I listen to the sermons all the time and I thank God that He makes provisions for all who seek Him. I fell on your website, actually I cannot even remember how but it has helped me so much and I no longer feel a lone christian in a far off land because Christ in His mercy did not forget me on the cross and did not forget me in a far off land where there is no other means of fellowship. Thank you for your messages and may God bless you to reach more souls like me.
I just want to say how thankful I am for all the online resources that you all make available to us . I have been studying online under John Mccarther for a number of years and I tell eveyone interested in learning to come to this website. I have learned so much and have had so many questions answered, that have enriched my life. I teach a small ladies class in our little church, and I want to teach the truth from God's Word only. Thank you for the free resources you provide. May the Lord continue to richly bless this ministry. Thank you, Toni Spangler
I am thankful and very impressed by the answer re Karaite Jews from the GTY staff. You guys actually do your homework! Yes the direct historical connection to Karaite Jews is lacking (or Very tenous) but they do have somewhat similar beliefs. And yes, the Mandaeans are VERY gnostic and John the Baptist is but an excuse to have at error.
I am impressed that you would know of these at all!
I would like to invite comment on the commercialization of the gospel. In my simplicity I struggle to understand why gospel material is sold and not distributed freely. I refer not only to this website's shop, but to an increasing trend to sell gospel material - music, books, literature etc. Why? This has reached extremes in some quarters where I have read of people trying to copyright "prophecies" they have received. John, is all the material in your shop available as free downloads off your website?
I just received the last two volumes of MacArthur's New Testament Commentary. I added up the total pages of commentary (not the indexes and so on) and there are a total of abut 11,200 pages of commentary. No, I have not read them all! That is a lot of work. Thank-you, Pastor MacArthur, for such a great commentary. When I need to look up something, his is the first place I go to. (For the Old Testament, I go to his one-volume commentary or his Study Bible.) By the way, have you, Pastor, read all the pages?
Small error from Dr McArthur re the Sadducees. They did not die out, they remain to modern times as Karaite jews. They wear blue instead of red stripes in prayer shawl, still hold only Torah inerrant, still deny resurrection, still are few but powerful. They also still accomodate, by helping him financially, they got Hitler to declare them non-Jews!
Also, BTW, the followers of John the Baptist are also still around. Saddam Hussein tried to wipe them out. They were then called "marsh Arabs" by the media.
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for your feedback! There are some similarities between Karaite Jews and the Sadducces, but there is no direct connection. There is debate over how strong the connection is, but a strong and direct connection seems to have been disproven by scholars (e.g. not all Karaite Jews reject an after-life).
Also, the followers of John the Baptist are called Mandaeans. But to refer to them as followers of John the Baptist is a bit misleading because, while John is given a high place in their religion, their beliefs extend far beyond Judaism (upon which John's teaching was based). Mandaeism is a gnostic religion with limited connections to Judaism.
Grace and peace,GTY Staff

Marilyn Monroe hoped to marry JFK – book
LOS ANGELES – Marilyn Monroe, who notoriously had an affair with John F. Kennedy, apparently believed she was going to marry the president, even phoning the White House to tell his wife.
The story, reported in a new book out Tuesday by journalist Christopher Andersen, asserts that Jackie Kennedy even told Monroe that the screen siren was welcome to take over her role as first lady.
"And you'll move into the White House and you'll assume the responsibilities of first lady, and I'll move out and you'll have all the problems," she reportedly told Monroe.
The incident is just one layer of the complex marriage in the year before the president was assassinated, according to the new account.
The book chronicles how Jackie begged to stay by her husband even in the face of a nuclear strike, how the couple withstood the death of their newborn son Patrick, as well as how they weathered JFK's many extramarital affairs.
It aims to answer whether the pair, 33 and 46 when JFK was killed, who captured the hearts of the nation, truly loved one another.
According to Andersen's research, Jackie was well aware of her husband's many infidelities, but was only upset over Marilyn – not because of the affair, itself, but because the first lady feared the scandal set her up for public ridicule.
And when the Cuban Missile Crisis was brewing in 1962 amid rising Cold War tensions, Jackie protested plans to send her and the children to shelter away from Washington in the event of a nuclear attack.
"Please don't send me anywhere if anything happens, we're all going to stay right here with you," she said.
"I want to die with you, and the children do too — rather than live without you."
"These Precious Few Days: The Final Year of Jack with Jackie," also recounts how the couple mourned their third child, Patrick Bouvier, who died two days after being born on August 7, 1963.
"The president returned to the vacant room upstairs, closed the door behind him, sat on the edge of the bed, and wept," Andersen reports.
"But when Jack walked in the door of her hospital room, they broke down together: 'Oh, Jack, oh, Jack', she sobbed. 'There's only one thing I could not bear now – if I ever lost you.'"
Just months later, on November 22, 1963, she did lose him – when gunman Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated the president in Texas.
Jackie, who outlived her husband by another 30 years, remarried five years later, to Greek business tycoon Aristotle Onassis.
"The ultimate question remains: On that day in Dallas fifty years ago when Jack was shot to death with Jackie at his side, did they truly love each other?" Andersen asks.
"After the affairs, the humiliations, the triumphs, and tragedies both known and unknown to the public, had they finally come together?" the author asks in his preface to the 336-page book, published by Simon and Schuster.

Special Correspondent
"No explicit decision to introduce an ordinance"
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said "all options" were open on promulgating an ordinance on redefining the term "office of profit."
Speaking to correspondents at the Rashtrapati Bhavan on the sidelines of a function, he said: "There is no explicit decision as of now [on bringing an ordinance]. We have not considered the ordinance. All options are open. We will discuss it with other political parties."
The Government would strive to have the "widest-possible consensus" among parties on the issue.
Asked whether others charged with holding offices of profit should take a hint from the Congress president, Sonia Gandhi's resignation from the Lok Sabha, he said: "I do not know." He gave a similar reply when asked about Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee.
Asked why Parliament was adjourned abruptly, he said all parties wanted to campaign for the coming Assembly elections.
Dr. Singh said Ms. Gandhi's resignation proved that she was the tallest leader in the country.
She had shown "a rare commitment" to moral values, which "you do not find in plenty in our country."
The Prime Minister met President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and apprised him of the current developments, says a Rashtrapati Bhavan press release.

East Coast Life Sciences Roundup: Foundation, Ophthotech, Sato, & More
Ben Fidler9/27/13
Follow @benthefidler
If there was any question whether the appetite for biotech IPOs had died down as of yet, the market answered this week with a resounding 'no.' That and a whole lot more below:
—Cambridge, MA-based Foundation Medicine (NASDAQ: FMI) enjoyed a warm reception from Wall Street this week. The cancer diagnostics company upsized its IPO and then sold investors 5,888,888 shares at $18 apiece, beating the $14 to $16 per share range it had previously set. Foundation raised $106 million through its IPO. It's also the latest Third Rock Ventures portfolio to hold a successful IPO this year, following the likes of Bluebird Bio (NASDAQ: BLUE) and Agios Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AGIO). Foundation's shares almost doubled in the company's first day of trading, closing at $35.35 apiece.
—Be sure to check out Steve Dickman's guest editorial on Foundation's IPO, and its future prospects, here.
—Investors also clearly bought into New York-based Ophthotech's (NASDAQ: OPHT) roadshow pitch, because it ended up raising a whopping $167.2 million in its IPO this week. Ophthotech, which is developing a drug for the wet form of age-related macular degeneration, sold 7.6 million shares at $22 apiece. It beat the $19 to $20 range it set the morning of the IPO. The company also upsized its offering twice while pitching it to investors. Ophthotech shares climbed nearly 20 percent the day after the IPO.
—Vicki Sato, a professor of management practice at Harvard Business School, sat down with Xconomy's National Biotech Editor Luke Timmerman to discuss which companies she thinks are the best 'real life' graduate schools for young people starting out in the industry. Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB), Alnylam Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: [[ticker:ALNY]), Infinity Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: INFI), and Celgene (NASDAQ: CELG) all made the list–you can read why Sato picked those companies here.
—Billerica, MA-based RainDance Technologies raised $20 million in equity financing just five months ago, but that didn't stop it from adding more cash to its coffers this week. RainDance raised up to $35 million in debt financing from Houston, TX-based investment firm Capital Royalty to continue its growth push. I talked to CEO Roopom Banerjee about what led the company to not only go back and raise more cash, but why it chose to raise debt—rather than equity—to help it expand.
—Waltham, MA-based startup X-Chem made its first announcement in almost three years this week when it revealed that AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) has licensed three potential drug programs coming from its drug discovery work. This marks the first time X-Chem has done so. I spoke to X-chem CEO Richard Wagner and CBO Diala Ezzeddine about what they think makes their drug discovery platform stand out in an increasingly competitive field.
—Last week I attended the opening of the New York Genome Center, a big collaboration between 12 big research and medical institutions in the New York City area. This week, I figured I'd give readers a glimpse of what I saw on a tour of the facility through a mini-slideshow.
—Novo Nordisk this week became the third big drugmaker to license the technology surrounding Lebanon, NH-based Adimab's yeast-based process for discovering antibodies, and bring it in-house. Adimab signed two similar tech transfer deals earlier this year with Biogen Idec (NASDAQ: BIIB) and GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK), which CEO Tillman Gerngross told me at the time turned the company cash flow positive.
—Data from Cambridge-based Sarepta Therapeutics' (NASDAQ: SRPT) small, mid-stage clinical trial of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy drug eteplirsen continued to hold up after 96 weeks. With a rival drug from Prosensa (NASDAQ: RNA) and GlaxoSmithKline suffering a major clinical setback last week, eteplirsen's path forward will continue to be one of the industry's most closely-watched stories. Sarepta is preparing to file a new drug application with the FDA based on the results of its 12-patient study.
—Cambridge-based Agios has added Paul Clancy, the executive vice president and CFO of Biogen, to its board of directors.
—Add another Big Pharma presence to the Cambridge biotech cluster. France's Ipsen this week announced plans to move its U.S. R&D hub from Milford, MA, to Cambridge. Ipsen leased 62,600 square feet of laboratory and office space in the 280,000 square-foot building at 650 East Kendall Street.
—Cranbury, NJ-based Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals began a mid-stage clinical trial this week testing its experimental drug, CPI-613, in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who haven't responded to earlier treatment.
—New York-based healthcare marketing startup Medikly and Burlington, MA-based healthcare consulting firm Inventiv Health agreed to work together earlier this year to help speed up the recruiting process for investigators in clinical trials. They expanded that partnership this week, with InVentiv now using Medikly's platform to help market its services. Medikly has a cloud-based platform that tracks the online preferences and behaviors of healthcare providers, aiming to help pharmaceutical companies find the right physicians to pitch to.
—Shares of Cambridge-based Alnylam soared to all-time highs this week as the company provided a deeper look into an early-stage clinical trial of a subcutaneous RNA-based drug it is developing for a rare disease called transthyretin amyloidosis (TTR). Alnylam provided an early glimpse of the study in July. Alnylam's shares now trade about $64 apiece—they were worth less than $20 apiece in late 2012.

Hungarian cardinal's parents defied communism
His first assignment was as chaplain in the northern town of Dorog, an industrial area best known for its coal mines, which have since been closed down.
After doctoring in theology in Hungary, he studied canon law at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome, where he obtained another doctorate in 1980, the same year he began his teaching career in Hungary.
Erdo, the only Hungarian to enter the conclave to elect the next pope, was named Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest in 2002.
He has taught and done research at several universities, including the Gregorian University in Rome, the University of California, Berkeley and the Catholic University in Buenos Aires, among others. He was rector of the Pazmany Peter Catholic University from 1998 to 2003.
Erdo speaks several languages, including Latin, German, Italian, Spanish and French and has taken lessons to improve his English.
Shortly before departing for the conclave in Rome, Erdo talked about the most important task facing the next pope.
"People have to be guided to Jesus Christ," Erdo told Hungarian state news agency MTI. "This is the big problem, the great challenge and the central task."

WICHITA, Kan. (November 21, 2013) The crew of A 747 jumbo jet used to haul parts for construction of Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner jet had the right city, but landed at the wrong airport Wednesday evening in Wichita, Kan.
Boeing says the Dreamlifter landed safely Wednesday evening at Colonel James Jabara Airport, several miles from McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita where it was supposed to touch down.
Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel says the Dreamlifter was bound for McConnell because it is adjacent to Spirit AeroSystems, a major supplier for the Dreamliner, but did not say why or how the plane landed at the wrong airport.
Spirit makes the forward section or nose area of the jet's fuselage.
Boeing uses four modified 747s to haul parts for the new plane's construction.
At first it appeared the 6,100-foot runway at the airport would be too short for the plane to take off, but the crew got the jet into the air around midday Thursday and made the short flight to the right place.

Problems installing TNT2 drivers on Debian system
I have tried to install the NVIDIA drivers for my Riva TNT2 card. I have downloaded the autopackage with the drivers for my card from NVIDIA's website, but when the installer has finished building the kernel module I get an error message saying the kernel module can't be built. I run kernel 18.104.22.168. I'm not sure if i have the kernel headers installed, but if I type "aptitude install linux-kernel-headers" it says that "no packages will be installed, updated or removed". I have had the exact same problem in Ubuntu. Can anyone help me out here?
Re: Problems installing TNT2 drivers on Debian system
Try this:
aptitude update
aptitude install build-essential module-assistant nvidia-glx
m-a prepare
m-a a-i nvidia
Check/fix xorg.conf and reboot if all seems ok.

Watch: 9-year-old's cardboard arcade gets flashmobbed
Caine Monroy's temporary arcade became the talk of East L.A. on what is sure to have been the best day of this young man's life.
Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 01:19 PM
Caine Monroy is a 9-year-old boy from East Los Angeles. Like many kids, he had to hang out at his dad's store over summer vacation. But unlike most kids, Caine didn't whittle away his days playing video games or watching TV in the back storeroom. Cain spent his summer vacation building an elaborate DIY cardboard arcade in his dad's used auto parts store out of recycled cardboard boxes and other used parts. He dreamed of the day he would have customers standing in line to play his games.
Here's what happened when Caine's dreams came true...

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 10/29/14
LeBron James is more worried about winning than being the NBA's highest-paid player. At least that's what he told reporters in Indianapolis after a shootaround in preparation for Friday night's game against the Pacers. When James left Cleveland for Miami in 2010, he took less money in order to play with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in hopes of winning a title, which the Heat accomplished last season. James, who is making $17.5 million this season, said the NBA's salary-cap rules keep him from being paid his true worth. His salary is tied for 13th highest among NBA players, well short of the $27.8 million annual haul by Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant. "What I do on the floor shows my value," James said, according to ESPN.com. "At the end of the day, I don't think my value on the floor can really be compensated for, anyways. "If you want the truth. If this was baseball (without a salary cap), it'd be up, I mean way up there." James went on to say he doesn't get credit ...

Twitter warns media against further hacks
Twitter issued a warning to media organisations to improve the security of their tweeting procedures following several high profile hacks. Meanwhile, federal financial market regulators meeting in Washington discussed risks from such cyber-attacks. The advisory said that organisations should use a dedicated computer to post to Twitter and should "minimize the number of people" with access to accounts.DPA

Re: Stop freakin' waving at me!
It never fails to amaze me how so many of you do not read the posts or even understand them.
Just out of curiosity, how many "cattlemarans" have you seen that are schooner rigged?
I did not say I NEVER wave, but if I am otherwise occupied then to your wave I am a "sailingdouchbag". Fine, I can live with that.
But the long and short of it to me is that I spent my life getting paid to go sailing; trips to Europe, the Caribbean, up the Amazon and Orinoco rivers, the Great Lakes, etc. I am not supporting my sailing at some nowhere job, dreaming of a life I will probably never attain, sitting in my lazy boy criticizing those who are doing it .
So put me down and I'll consider the source and we'll all be happy. But keep clear of me when we're on the water, because you probably believe you have the "right of way" because you are sailing on a starboard tack!

England batsman Ravi Bopara is reportedly of the opinion that Jos Buttler's controversial 'Mankad' dismissal in the final ODI of the five-match series won by Sri Lanka would provide extra 'needle' for the upcoming Test series.
Sri Lanka's Sachithra Senanayake had removed the bails as Buttler was backing up at the non-striker's end during England's six-wicket defeat at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
According to the BBC, Bopara said that he feels there would be a bit of needle in the two-match Test series, which begins at Lord's on 12 June, now. Bopara, who is unlikely to feature in the Test side, said that it means that England would have to come really hard at Sri Lanka, which is when they play their best cricket.
