Refinement and Inspiration from the Heart of New York
The stylish interiors in the photos below were photographed in a building located on Park Avenue, New York, USA. Combining modern amenities with classic refinement, the design of this duplex features some interesting details which could serve as inspiration when decorating. The living room is spacious and diverse, presenting a large window overlooking Park Avenue instead of a traditional wall and highly creative arrangements. We consider that the gray wallpaper manages to stand out and create a very interesting effect. The color palette is simple (white, gray, black and sober yellow), but leads to a perfect visual harmony. The bedrooms are large and also connect with the outdoors through floor to ceiling windows. An all-equipped kitchen completes this project's "dream crib" image. What do you like most about this home that seems to defy the rush on Park Avenue ?

i liked the living area interior .. nice
Just beautiful, very well done!!
I love the kitchen and banquette.
I love the use of the subtle colors in each part of the house. It really complements the wallpaper too. I am surprised to see that such a wallpaper can bring so much to a room with a more "boring" color palette. I love the toilet! I never seen something like that before…but why is there two mirrors in the bathroom, I understand the one above the sink, but not the one above the bathtub. I love the living room and the master bedroom! (:

Is it true: once a liar always a liar?
I have been dating this guy for almost a year and known him for two years. the things is when I started dating him I didn't know he was a liar. what... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Well, lets face facts.
Everyone lies.
The important part is his intentions. Is he lying as 'social lubricant' (for example - make himself look better or to avoid embarrassment or an argument). Or is he lying to cover up wrongdoings? (for example- covering up how late he worked so you don't see the 2 hour gap he spent shagging his ex girlfriend).
If it is the first scenario - let it go. Everyone does this kind of lying.
If it is the second - dump him. This is a serious problem that goes beyond honesty and into fidelity, etc.
I know you are 'In love with him'. And I know that it can hurt to do the right thing. But I would suggest that you are just on here asking this question because you are searching for some kind of validation. You are hoping someone is going to say: 'yeah, stay with the bloke'. But I think that the fact that you are asking this question means that you know you probably shouldn't be with him.
Love at your age shouldn't be this much work. If it is this much work and you are agonizing this much now - where will your relationship be in 10-15 years?
If you don't think that you will be together that long ...then why bother putting up with the crap?
You will only ever be treated as badly as you allow someone to treat you.
Do you want to allow someone to continuously lie to you about serious issues?
The choice is up to you - but a wrong choice could mean losing precious time from your life that could be spent being happier.
What Guys Said 2
In my experience guys who lie do tend to keep doing so. I'm not entirely sure why, but it's almost like a bad habit, perhaps something that gives him a bit of a thrill. It's one of those things where he might get better, but there is always the chance that he will do it again.
When I set him down and talked to him bout everything I caught him doin he told me he lies to me because he is scared of hurting me. I don't know he makes up an excuse for all the lies and some times they are very good excuses but I know thier bullsh*t.. I basically hav e to get all these excuses tell I get the truth. I just I don't know I don't want it to be true because I know I can do better but grrrr.... why lie if you can just tell me the truth
What Girls Said 4
were on the same boat. My boyfriend lies about whos he has tlked to, what he's doin who he is hangin out with. I basically snapped one day, layed out his puzzle pieces all over the table that didn't fit and asked why. I told him that it makes me hurt and not trust him knowing and not knowing he lies to me. He has told me a couple times as well as his friends sayin he lied, excuse me, he said a "white" lie (no such thing lol) because he didn't want me to get on his case about him texting his friend (whom I dispise) or hangin out with him or me gettin annoyed bla bla. I told him I didn't even get mad half the time until I knew he was lying, so I started just going with the few lies he did, so I could prove I wouldn't freak. He is now a lot better since he knows I'm not going to freak. I don't know if that story helped you or not but all I can say is communicate! and don't get mad, be calm. :) good luck!
I communicate with him a lot now I have sat him down and talked to him. I told him how much it hurts and that I wouldn't mind as long as he tells me. I don't yell at him but I still wonder how long it will last before he does it again. and I don't like having to feel that way. so our stories are basically so much the same.....thanks for the help. I wish you the best of luck also

Afonso III (in Portuguese; rare English alternatives: Alphonzo or Alphonse), or Affonso (Archaic Portuguese), Alfonso or Alphonso (Portuguese-Galician) or Alphonsus (Latin), the Bolognian (Port. o Bolonhês) or the Brave (Port. o Bravo), the fifth King of Portugal (May 5 1210 in Coimbra – February 16 1279 in Alcobaça, Coimbra or Lisbon) and the first to use the title King of Portugal and the Algarve, since 1249. He was the second son of King Afonso II of Portugal and his wife, Urraca, princess of Castile; he succeeded his brother, King Sancho II of Portugal on 4 January, 1248.
As the second son of King Afonso II of Portugal, Afonso was not expected to inherit the throne, which was destined to go to his elder brother Sancho. He lived mostly in France, where he married Matilda, the heiress of Boulogne, in 1238, thereby becoming Count of Boulogne. In 1246, conflicts between his brother, the king, and the church became unbearable. Pope Innocent IV then ordered Sancho II to be removed from the throne and be replaced by the Count of Boulogne. Afonso, of course, did not refuse the papal order and marched to Portugal. Since Sancho was not a popular king, the order was not hard to enforce; he was exiled to Castile and Afonso III became king in 1248 after his brother's death. To ascend the throne, he abdicated from the county of Boulogne and later (1253) divorced Matilda.
Determined not to commit the same mistakes as his brother, Afonso III paid special attention to what the middle class, composed of merchants and small land owners, had to say. In 1254, in the city of Leiria, he held the first session of the Cortes, a general assembly comprising the nobility, the middle class and representatives of all municipalities. He also made laws intended to restrain the upper classes from abusing the least favoured part of the population. Remembered as a notable administrator, Afonso III founded several towns, granted the title of city to many others and reorganized public administration.
This King showed extraordinay vision for that time. Humanists and Progessists measures taken during his kingship includes: The representatives of the people were for the first time included in the governance, besides the nobility and clergy; The end of preventive arrests, all arrests by the police had to be first presented to a judge to determine the detention measure, monetary economy measures, such as the negotiation with the mercators a extraordinary taxation instead of the typical devalorization of money. The first measures of a state towards laicity, including taxation of the catolic church wealth. This leads to his excomunication by the holy see. This precipitated his death and his son Dom Dinis prematurelly rise to the throne with only 18 years old.
Secure on the throne, Afonso III then proceeded to make war with the Muslim communities that still thrived in the south. In his reign the Algarve became part of the kingdom, following the capture of Faro—Portugal thus becoming the first Iberian kingdom to complete its Reconquista.
Following his success against the Moors, Afonso III had to deal with a political situation arising from the borders with Castile. The neighbouring kingdom considered that the newly acquired lands of the Algarve should be Castilian, not Portuguese, which led to a series of wars between the two kingdoms. Finally, in 1267, a treaty was signed in Badajoz, determining that the southern border between Castile and Portugal should be the River Guadiana, as it is today.

Fugitive Extradited to United States from Mexico
Defendant Allegedly Led Multi-Million Dollar Mexican Marijuana Trafficking Organization
Bruno Garcia-Arreola, a Mexican national and allegedly one of the leaders of an organization that sent tons of marijuana from Mexico to the United States, has been extradited from Mexico to face a federal indictment in the Eastern District of New York that charges him with drug trafficking conspiracy and bail jumping. He will be arraigned on Thursday, November 10, 2011, at 11:00 A.M. before United States District Judge Thomas C. Platt at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, New York.
The charges were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Charles G. Dunne, United States Marshal for the Eastern District of New York, and Wilbert L. Plummer, Acting Special Agent-in-Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration in New York.
In 2003, Arreola was arrested in Las Vegas by Special Agents of the DEA after a lengthy investigation in which two tons of marijuana and $11 million in cash were seized. DEA had lured Arreola to Las Vegas where he traveled by private plane from Mexico. Subsequent to his arrest, and over the objection of federal prosecutors, Arreola was released on an unsecured $20,000 bond but failed to appear in federal court in the Eastern District of New York. He was then indicted, and the apprehension responsibility for his capture was delegated to the United States Marshals Service (USMS). The USMS New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force, assisted by Interpol and Mexican law enforcement authorities, spent years searching for Arreola and finally apprehended him in Mexico in April 2011.
"Arreola's extradition demonstrates that neither time nor geography will prevent law enforcement in the United States and abroad from locating and apprehending those facing international drug trafficking charges," stated United States Attorney Lynch. "The partnership of the federal government with the international law enforcement community has produced outstanding results, and I commend the cooperation of our colleagues both in the United States and abroad for their extraordinary efforts."
United States Marshall Dunne stated, "The United States Marshals, working with our law enforcement partners at home and abroad, never stopped looking for Arreola for eight years. This case illustrates that once the United States Marshals start looking for you there really is nowhere you can hide."
DEA Acting Special Agent-in-Charge Plummer stated, "This extradition brings one of our most wanted fugitives back to New York to face criminal allegations. DEA and our international, federal and local law enforcement partners have succeeded in removing one more name from our fugitive list – Bruno Arreola."
If convicted on the drug conspiracy charge, Arreola faces a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years' imprisonment and up to life.
The charges in the indictment are merely allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Burton T. Ryan, Jr.
The Defendant:
Age: 53
The Department of Justice believes that it is important to keep victims/witnesses of federal crime informed of court proceedings and what services may be available to assist you.

Inactive and Abandoned Metal Mines
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Geology and Earth Resources (DGER) has created a database (in Microsoft Access format) and a series of written reports documenting present-day characteristics of selected Inactive and Abandoned Mine Lands (IAML) in the state. The program of site characterization was initiated in 1999, and the continuing body of work has been accomplished through interagency grants awarded by the U.S. Forest Service, Region 6. Documentation focuses on physical characteristics and hazards (openings, structures, materials, and waste) and water-related issues (acid mine drainage and metals transport). Accurate location, current ownership, and land status information is included. Acquiring this information provides a critical first step in determining if remedial or reclamation activities are warranted, and also serves to update information on many properties last characterized circa the 1970s.
More than 3800 mineral properties have been located in the state during the last 100 years (Huntting, 1956). Many are undeveloped prospects of little economic importance. Therefore, in considering the population to include in the IAML inventory, we have identified approximately 60 sites that meet one of the following criteria: (a) more than 2000 feet of underground development, (b) more than 10,000 tons of production, (c) location of a known mill site or smelter. This subset of sites includes only metal mines no longer in operation.
A state-managed database has advantages because the state has access to many of the records needed (for example, land ownership) and can easily update and maintain the database. This database is critical to a systematic survey and prioritization of environmental hazards, site remediation, and reclamation of wildlife habitat at these mines. To date the EPA, USFS, and DNR have contributed funding for the project.
A copy of the IAML database may be viewed with assistance from DGER personnel. Reports may be obtained online.
For more information, see "Washington's Inactive and Abandoned Metal Mine Inventory and Database" in the September 2000 issue of Washington Geology.

Coal Mine Subsidence
Abandoned coal mines underlie at least 50,000 acres in western and central Washington, in both rural and urban areas. Some of these mines are near the surface and pose a risk to buildings or other structures from mine collapse.
Information about the location and condition of coal mines is necessary to identify hazardous areas and develop effective mitigation. Our extensive Washington State coal mine map collection and staff expertise are invaluable in guiding development in these areas. We work with local goverments to accurately locate mines and interpret mine maps.
For more information on coal resources in Washington, go to the Washington Geology Library catalog and search the Subject field on "coal."

"Mommy, is it okay if I read about religions?"
This was the question posed to me by my 6 year old daughter, Samantha, this morning.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Am I allowed to read a book about Kwanzaa?" Sam asked.
"Of course you are, why do you ask?" I asked with surprise.
"Because my friend isn't allowed to talk about Kwanzaa or read a book about Kwanzaa. Her parents said she can't because it isn't her religion."
Oh boy. Now no one in my family is black nor have we ever celebrated Kwanzaa. While Kwanzaa is a cultural celebration rather than a religious celebration, the observance runs at the same time as the Christmas and New Year holiday period so it is perceived as a religious holiday by many. As far as religions go, both my husband and I were raised Catholic but neither of us practices, goes to church on a regular basis, or is really affiliated with any particular religion. It is safe to say that we do not lean strongly toward any religious affiliation.
I firmly believe in the beauty and gift that religions contribute to this world. I believe that everyone has a place and should have a voice in this life in which we are all a part of. I have an uncle who is a Christian minister, an aunt who is Buddhist, relatives who are devout Catholics and relatives who are atheists. While the majority of my friends are Christian, I have friends who are Hindu and friends who are Islam or Jewish. All of these individuals, my family and friends, each have important views that contribute to the world as it is now and how it will be in the future.
My extended family is a mix of ethnic backgrounds, my children are a mix of ethnic backgrounds. I see my children not as mixed race children, but as my children. My aunts are not my Italian aunts, they are my aunts. My friends are not my white friend or my black friend, they are my friends. The teacher who held my child close after the latest school massacre is not the nice white lady at the school, but the wonderful human being who helps educate and care for my children.
The world is getting a little crazy. Schools are pressured to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance, a symbol for which this country stands. At work, we struggled with the wording on our Holiday cards to our customers because of the recent heated debates about Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays. Personally, I think it's nice if someone says Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah or whatever their seasonal salute may be. It is a celebration of a joyous time of year. It is an honor for the salute to be addressed to me and I think that the proper response is "Thank you, to you also." I also think that if I offer a salute, whether it be Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, I should not be offended if I do not get a thank you back or even a response at all. After all, that person has their own story on what the season means to them.
So, this morning I turned to my daughter and explained that there are many different religions and cultures in this world and they all have a place. I explained that we should learn about these different religions and cultures because learning about different things and understanding them, even if we do not agree or is not who we are, is important to all of us getting along in this world. We are all different people with different ways of thinking and that's a good thing – if we were all the same, we wouldn't be able to tell each other apart and no one would ever learn anything new.
This holiday season, I have promised my children we will learn about and celebrate Kwanzaa in addition to our usual Christmas celebrations. They will also spend their winter break with a trip to church with my Catholic mother-in-law as well as studying Buddhist books from their aunt. More importantly, we will celebrate this coming season surrounded by a family that is diverse in both cultures and religions and rejoice in the true spirit of the season.
From my family to yours,
Merry Christmas and Happy Kwanzaa

Zephyr from Tennessee reviewed the Grape Harvest Solid Brass Goblet: Set of Two with Gift Box
Bottomline: Yes, would recommend to a friend.
Comments: I bought these goblets as a gift for my son and daughter in law as an anniversary present. I loved the dark emerald green velvet box as a presentation! I was pleased that the goblets seemed to be made well and that they were every bit as beautiful as the photograph in the catalog portrayed. I'm sure my son and daughter in law will enjoy them for years to come.

Advanced Math/Science Research Update
by Dr. April Burch, Director of the AMSR program
January 15, 2013
Since our last update, Berkshire School hosted student researchers from Belmont Hill, and all-boys prep school outside of Boston, for a 1-day mini-symposium on Student Biomedical Research. The goal was to foster collaboration, communication and community outreach with our students. AMSR students Liza Bernstein '13, Sissi Wang '13, Lars Robinson '13, Elsie Guevara '13, Ernest Yue '13, and Nate MacKenzie '14, gave short talks about their work in the new Bellas/Dixon Math and Science lecture hall. The talks were followed up by break-out sessions where Belmont Hill students described their research projects and students discussed commonalities between the projects and future goals.
The second semester of AMSR started with some terrific news. The AMSR program was awarded a grant from The Chinchester Dupont Foundation for the purchase of an EVOS fluorescence microscope. This piece of equipment will expand the types of experiments and analyses that can be done by AMSR students this and future years. The microscope should arrive shortly, and Dr. Burch has invited everyone to stop in for a look next time they are on campus.
One new, exciting project that is underway in the winter season of AMSR in the afternoons is being spearheaded by Elif Kesaf '14. Elif is from Turkey and seeks to identify novel viruses of non-pathogenic strains of Legionella bacterium from travertines in Pamukkale. In collaboration with Dr. Sunny Shin at the Perlman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, she will be working to isolate viruses of this bacterium with the hope of identifying new agents to combat Legionnaires' disease caused by a pathogenic form of Legionella.
Look for more news from Dr. Burch in the next issue!

Budget explanations must accompany each budget entry and describe briefly how funds will be expended. Explanations should be included for all categories in the budget. The budget narrative should indicate all sources of funds for the upcoming project year including those provided in-kind by partners or other entities; however, the budget grid should contain only HS-HE Alignment Initiative funds. Please be sure to review the agreed upon project Assurances, which delineate how the HS-HE Alignment Initiative funds may be used.
*Please include a copy of your cover page with every reporting submission.
In general, an Indicator of Success represents an ideal state. For the purpose of this grant, Indicators of Success state the long-term strategic goals of your consortium in relation to the High School – Higher Education Alignment project goals. While they can be ambitious, they should also be achievable and measurable. In short, what are you hoping to address and accomplish with the support of the grant in regard to high school – higher education alignment?
The Dana Center Gap Analysis guide is a good resource for thinking through Indicators of Success. A copy can be found in the Wiggio group resource folder.
No fewer than three but no more than five indicators of success (IOS) should be identified for each content area (English language arts and mathematics) for Gap Analysis Part 1. If you have already identified more than five in your consortium work, we understand, but hope you will highlight those you plan to prioritize in your efforts.
Data elements include those sources of information that will inform your current status in relation to the Indicators of Success you have identified in Part 1. For example, data may include the number of students from each school requiring remediation in mathematics. Using this data you might find that your current status in relation to your Indicator of Success is that 25% of students in the consortium attending college Y require remediation in first-year college-level mathematics courses.
Some Indicators of Success you may wish to address, such as communication between high school and higher education partners, may not have readily accessible quantitative data elements in the traditional sense. However, possible data sources for open communications might include surveys or focus groups. For example:
Each consortium will be held accountable for implementation of their action plans as submitted each year, as well as any interventions necessary to ensure progress towards meeting the indicators of success.
The next statewide meeting will take place either the last week of July or the first week of August. Please look for more information to come in June 2012.
Dr. David Conley will be a keynote speaker on the first day of the upcoming Innovative Learning Environments Conference, which is taking place the week of July 30 – August 3, 2012. You can learn more about the conference and how to register at http://www.ileohio.org/Pages/default.aspx.
Dr. David Conley serves as chief executive officer of the Educational Policy Improvement Center (EPIC); founder and director of the Center for Educational Policy Research (CEPR); and Professor of Educational Leadership at the University of Oregon. He conducts research on issues related to college readiness, college and high school course content analysis, high school-college alignment and transition, and large-scale diagnosis and assessment of college readiness.
Dr. Conley has agreed to host a private session with the grantees of the High School – Higher Education Alignment Initiative in addition to his appearance as a keynote speaker. The session will take place the morning of July 30th, the first day of the ILE conference. More details will be shared in June 2012.
The Ohio HS/HE Alignment Wiggio group was created to serve the grantees in the following ways: (1) Create a communication stream between ODE and project participants; (2) Provide a forum for cross-consortia discussion and collaboration; (3) Serve as a repository where curricular tools and resources can be posted and shared. We encourage you to post discussion questions, resources you find helpful, and opportunities fellow consortia may be interested in attending.
The High School – Higher Education Alignment Initiative website serves as the public face of the initiative. It is here that we hope that non-participating schools, institutions and entities will visit to learn more about our work.
It will become more populated throughout the course of the project as tools and resources are produced out of the collaboration of the department and consortia. While we are using the Wiggio site to coordinate with the consortia members and leaders, we also encourage you to check back to the project website as well.
The website can be found by visiting education.ohio.gov and searching "alignment" from the homepage. The following resources can be found on the High School – Higher Education Alignment website:

Have it for a month now. Fast, light weight and also beautiful design. Great monitor in the sense of colors and brightness but with low angle of viewing. Also, stays cool even after hours of extensive use. As for cons - too many unnecessary light indicators, space button is slightly less responsive than it should be, and the speakers are better on my cellphone than on this laptop. All in all, great all-around and reliable machine for the money you pay.
I've had this laptop for about a month now and have not had any issue with it. It boots up quickly and is almost too fast for me, but I'm getting used to it. The battery life is not as good as stated and non-Toshiba extended batteries don't work, so looking at getting a Toshiba extended battery. If you don't need to have more than 3 hours battery life, this one will server you well. I would recommend it.
This laptop is by far my favorite. Beautiful style and clear screen. Everything about this laptop makes it the best I ever had (so far). I did how ever notice 4 minor flaws that might just be the way I use my laptop. The SPACE BAR and the LEFT CLICK button next to the Touch Pad needs to be pushed a little harder in order to work. Next is the AC Adapter cord. The plug that goes into the side of the laptop sticks out too far. In the past, I have seen this type of connection fail do to pressure on the plug causing to damage the internal connection. The last item is the speakers, older models had louder speakers.
Does everything I needed a great 14 inch laptop. I needed one to power up quick and do what I needed to do in a fast moment.
Awesome Laptop! Speed, Perfomance, and Battery Life are excellent!

Extension > Family > Children, Youth & Family Consortium > Our Research
Our Research
Research involves many phases, such as forming partnerships, conceptualizing ideas, securing funding, conducting the research, interpreting findings, disseminating findings to others, and putting findings into action. CYFC can provide assistance to academic and community researchers and other stakeholders at each of these phases (see Our Services).
However, CYFC also generates its own research knowledge and disseminates that knowledge to practitioners, policymakers and academic audiences. We also keep our eye on what's happening at other institutions. Here is a summary of recent research projects.
Wonder Years Research Study
CYFC is conducting a qualitative research study on how Minnesota policymakers use and access different sources of information around early childhood policy decision-making. Specifically, we're interested in whether legislator's thinking and decision-making around early childhood policies changes after experiencing the Wonder Years exhibition about the science of early childhood, or after listening in on citizen dialogues on early childhood issues.
Partners in Research: Promoting Evidence-Based Children's Mental Health Practices for Culturally Diverse Communities
In 2008, the Children, Youth & Family Consortium received a unique grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support a partnership between the University of Minnesota and members of a Cultural Providers Network. This Partners in Research grant was awarded jointly to CYFC and the Network to develop and evaluate specific mechanisms of successful collaboration between a higher education institution and community providers.
The two-year project aimed to:
- Develop measurable strategies to create an effective collaborative process.
- Create and evaluate opportunities for the scientific community and community providers to increase mutual understanding of each other's definitions of effectiveness, standards of evidence, criteria for cultural appropriateness, and ways of knowing.
- Identify culturally-specific mental health practices and design a culturally relevant process to establish their effectiveness.
- Identify established evidence-based practices that could be adopted without modification or adapted for culturally diverse communities and design a culturally relevant research strategy to evaluate these adaptations.
- Develop a culturally appropriate self-assessment strategy.
As part of this grant, the University-Community Dialogue on Culture and Children's Mental Health took place between the Cultural Providers Network and University of Minnesota faculty on April 8, 2010.

Maturing Murray
Our man Down Under finds plenty of positives from Andy Murray's hard-fought win over Ryan Harrison.
By Tim Clement - Twitter: @SkyTennis_Tim
Last Updated: 17/01/12 8:48pm
It may not have been the bagel-fest that Novak Djokovic produced, but Andy Murray's four-set win was arguably the more substantial victory as he kept frustrations at bay to make the second round at the Australian Open.
One set down and too many unforced errors, these are the occasions which have all too often brought the worst out of the British number one.
But this time there was an inner calm prevailing, the game plan remained and it worked.
Plenty predicted the young talents of Ryan Harrison would trouble Murray in their first meeting and so they did, with a shower of attacking strokes finding their way through Murray's normally impenetrable defence.
But Murray knew the percentages were on his side, and in the blistering heat it would take a small miracle for the world 77 to maintain his intensity.
That's why he's the world number four, he's mature enough now to know how to grind out wins against the up-and-comers, just like he did in Brisbane when Bernard Tomic started so brightly before fading away.
There is one obvious factor: a certain Ivan Lendl sitting in his box.
Murray looks up, sees his new coach and remembers there's no time for the barking of old, back to the game plan, back to making life as difficult as physically possible for the man on the other side of the net, not himself.
There was also the heat - touching 37°C. Murray admitted it had been a "shock to the system" - but it will certainly stand him in good stead come the second week of the tournament.
We'd be kidding ourselves in thinking it was a perfect win, but on days like this when the serve is failing to fire and the conditions are not kind, Murray did what he had to do and, most importantly, what he'd planned to do.
Aussies muted
The day after Bernanrd Tomic lit up Australian hopes with a stunning five-set comeback victory, the Rod Laver Arena was transformed into a scene of sorrow as Sam Stosur crashed out.
They feared it might happen, some even expected it, but they hoped at least that the US Open champion would carry their hopes beyond the first round.
For this year at least, Stosur represented Australia's best hopes of a first native winner of their home Grand Slam since the '70s following her triumph at Flushing Meadows in September.
But some time has passed since her New York heroics, and the form guide was pointing towards the actual outcome rather than the one that ignited dreams, with the world number five crashing out in the opening rounds at Brisbane and then Sydney.
Stosur admitted nerves had got the better of her as she passively allowed Sorana Cirstea to brush her aside, conforming to the home form that has seen her fail to make it past the fourth round in Melbourne, rather than producing a display of the ilk of her US Open run.
Gluten for punishment, the Aussies have thrown their remaining hopes, Tomic and Casey Dellacqua on the Rod Laver Arena for the night matches on Wednesday.
They'll be hoping the duo grow in front of their expectant nation rather than shrivel, as poor Stosur did today.
Tip time
Anyway, it's time for me to put my neck on the line with some tips after getting a glimpse of most of the big names.
After the first round I've got to say Viktoria Azarenka is looking primed to claim her first Grand Slam, while Rafael Nadal also looked sharp despite the injury concerns that have seen his price drift.
Azarenka, who brutally dismantled Heather Watson on Monday, is the women's 9/2 second favourite, while Nadal is 11/2 at the moment.
Pack them up in a double and you have a 35/1 whopper.

John Calipari Compares NCAA to USSR
Kentucky head coach John Calipari didn't mince words when criticizing the NCAA in his new book, "Players First: Coaching From the Inside Out."
The book reads:
"The situation reminds me a little of the Soviet Union in its last years. It was still powerful. It could still hurt you. But you could see it crumbling, and it was just a matter of time before it either changed or ceased to exist…. The NCAA will soon have to reform itself or it will not remain the dominant force in college athletics."
Wait until Calipari compares NCAA president Mark Emmert to Joseph Stalin.

The Vineyard Carpenterie
Casual Elegance
Gray Ivory Light Pink
Baby's Breath Rose
It shouldn't be that much of a surprise when I say I love weddings. That's pretty obvious. But sometimes I come across a wedding I love so much I just want to spend every last second of my day with it. Well, that's precisely what happened when I came across this beauty captured by Camille Marciano. It's floral crowns and flowy dresses, gorgeous vineyard settings and a stunning couple – so if you need to find me, I'll be right here poring over all the pretty in the full gallery of images.
In a champetre chic style, Emilie and Jonathan's wedding took place on one of the rare rainy days in Matane in August, but as we say in French, "Rainy marriage- Happy marriage!" It was the watchword of the couple on this important day of their life.
We did the couple's shoot in the vineyard while the rain stopped for 30 minutes!
The main colors were pink, beige and grey – pastel tones and a wonderful sense of the aesthetics. It is so rare to Matane to see such a beautiful wedding – and all the guests were surprised with the decor, mostly hand-made by the bride.
From the Bride… Carpinteri's winery, an enchanting setting inspired by Tuscan vineyards located in our hometown, was the perfect venue for our special day. We decided to play with both chic and rustic details to settle that romantic and fairy tale like atmosphere.
We got inspired by a soft palette, with tone colors such as gray for groomsmen suits, blush for bridesmaid dresses and ivory for my dress and groom's shirt. I fell in love with a Hayley Paige dress for my big day; crystal floral beaded straps and tulle details at back made it the perfect romantic dress – simple and elegant at the same time – which really suited for a vineyard wedding. I loved the idea of adding a little bohemian touch to my look so I decided to wear a flower crown, and had a mix of roses and wildflowers for my bouquet.
Jonathan and I designed the wedding theme and decor from A to Z. Details such as burlap table runners, white net curtain in windows, candles on table runners and baby's breath centertables added romance to the venue. The honor table was adorned by flowers, candles and little lights, and surrounded by string lights and small palm trees to remind the nature setting.
As the evening wore on, atmosphere went from romantic to festive while guests enjoyed a live accoustic band followed by a DJ. We also did a choreography with the bridesmaids and groomsmen to open the dancefloor later at night. I would say this is a must-do for couples who want to surprise their guests and throw a party atmosphere!
One of the most magical moment of this day is the first look we did before the ceremony. In the end, this moment was only the beginning of all the lovely surprises and special moments of this memorable day!"

There once was a time when the Republican Party was associated with the color blue, and since 2000 it has been red at the dictation of the news media and quickly adopted into pop culture. That has drawn complaints from some the new party of "no" because everywhere else in the world blue is the color of conservatism and red is attributed to more left-wing parties.
Joseph Farah of World Net Daily wrote a particularly whinny column about this after the last election...and as a result WND has courageously announced it will no longer be using the red state blue state paradigm, period (the punctuation, not the connotation).What difference does who has what color make in the grand scheme of things, both colors are core to what this country stands for? Color isn't seen in ideas, which is what people are voting for after all.
In the end it doesn't matter what color is what....as an artist so of course I know color carries significance, but it also matters how you use it.
Courtesy of FreakingNews.com
Now that we have red they can't do this to Dick Cheney!
So Republicans didn't ask for Red...just OWN IT already...in fact we can definitely use it to our advantage...think about it...
Roses are red
Violets are blue
This poem is a metaphor for the goverment
Because it doesn't rhyme
Now...lets break it down...
This pretty much sums up how both our political parties think!
but VIOLETS ARE BLUE?!?
Do we really want to give back the power and responsibility of the color red to the Democrats? Just think about what they would do with it....
We'll get PINKObama (ok we already kind of have that...but it would be official!)
Ummmm...I say let them keep the blue, and 'ol Joey Farah can take his World Net Daily go play in the other sandbox that nobody uses anyway.

Patience and Concentration Is Required!
By Radashack
from Durham, NC
I installed the screen protector with little or no trouble. It DOES take patience and concentration as well as an extremely clean screen. Any particles of dust, dirt, or foreign materials as well as rushing, WILL produce bubbles! I found it helpful to roll the screen protector cover under and off the screen protector while I was smoothing the bubbles out of the protector. That way touching the underside of the protector would not happen. At the end, it was very easy and with a couple of small bubbles which were easily taken care of. Remember folks - PATIENCE AND CONCENTRATION!
Nice protector
By GrandPrixChris
from Michigan
I was nervous after ordering the protector(s) but I really had no issues putting it on the Thrives screen. Finger taps and swipes have not been diminished using this product. I have had it on my Thrive for over four months and it's nice to know that I still have the second one as a backup.
Pass on this one
By Redbird78
from Iowa
Just like everyone else has stated, it was very difficult to get it on right. I had to trim it a bit to get it to fit. There are still 5-7 bubbles that I cannot get out. I am very disappointed in this product.
Never Use the Screen Protector
By Hal
from Flint, MI
Had to remove the protector after developing bubbles 2 months after application. After three days of working on removing the leftover gunk which obscures the view I am off to buy a third product to see if it will work.
Not worth the money!!
By tablet user
from Hurst, TX
I could not get all the air bubbles out after may tries. Top surface is sticky. Cannot drag your finger across screen. Attracts lint, dust, cat hair and I cannot get it off. Pass this one by.

No, I'm not from there, but I've been coming to NO for over twenty years. Well, until the last two years, that is.
I never thought I'd live to see the day when I'd kill to see Nagin back. Or Riley, for that matter. How on earth did Mitch ever get elected? Did no one really know what a completely incompetent self serving boob he is??? Bad enough, incompetent, but using your backs as stepping stones to greater things (which he will hopefully NEVER attain) is abhorrent.
I hope you manage to shoot this insane idea down. To echo previous posters, yes, there was a revolution fought about similar matters. The difference is that in 1776, the citizens didn't have a voice in putting into power people that will suck them dry, while enriching themselves (a NOLA specialty?).
Oh, and about the last two years, when I've chosen to take vacations elsewhere... Yah, CRIME. I'm not fearful. I know how to "be" in NO, and how to be safe. I just can't, in good conscience, come down there and party like crime's not ridiculous, and like the general populace (from what I can see) hasn't become inured to it!
So you won't miss my $2,000 or so... But I wonder how many of us there really are.
Oh, I miss my New Orleans in the very worst way. Last night, I read about Springsteen at Jazz Fest. I was there in 2006, and saw him. A moment in time... I thought, the hell with it. I'm going to Jazz Fest next year. Then I saw this:
Second KIPP Believe 8th grader found murdered
New Orleans. What have you become???
"People who have always lived here think this is the norm for all cities but that's not true." – LeeNOLA
I marvel at that. Even for people who've moved there, it's like the analogy of the frog in warm water. People become inured to the horrendous crime there.
The old saw used to be, if you're not involved in the thug culture, you're ok. NOT. Not from what I've seen, for quite a while. When you can't safely crawl even the Quarter after 1 a.m., something is terribly wrong.
"7 of us cancelled our Mardi Gras trip this year due to the crime." – satalag
Ditto. I'm voting with my checkbook, and also spreading the word. Lafayette and the Carolinas are my new vacay spots, until NO gets its act together. I'll miss it, after 22 years of visiting, but ya gotta start somewhere.
SOS, DD. SOS, DY(ear).
I thought Noggin and Riley were bad. I thought it couldn't get much worse, nor could the inertia in that wretched city government. I actually thought Mitch would make things better!
Bwaaaahahahahaaaa. Silly me!!!
I've been coming to NO for over 20 years. I. AM. DONE. Until it changes. Maybe you won't miss the thousand dollars or two I spend, every time I come; but maybe you'll miss a bunch of us. And no, I don't think I'll get shot, b/c I know the city. Things have come to a reeeal pretty pass, however, when I would be fearful of stumbling back to my timeshare in the Quarter after 1 a.m. Hell, I can stay home, if I'm going to turn into a pumpkin at 1 a.m. Yah, taxi, but that's not the point. Is it.
I haven't even read the paper in forever. Too depressing. I've "detached". I was looking for New Year's recipes, though, and came across this op/ed.
I used to read all the comments, too. Pffft, why bother? Refer to first line.
My friends there are so innured to it all, it's stunning. It's like that analogy about the frog in the pot of water, with the heat being turned up gradually. He eventually cooks. If you just threw him into that boiling water, he'd fly out of there... My friends seem to have forgotten what it's like to live somewhere where you aren't looking over your shoulder, or crossing the street to avoid perceived threats. Party on.
Breaks my heart. I love New Orleans. I've loved it, loved it, for all these many, many years. Just breaks my heart.
Well done, Sandy and levees.org. At the very least, the acknowledgement that these poorly constructed levees broke would go a long way towards educating visitors. So much of the country still thinks "Katrina did it".
I've been a visitor to your city for over twenty years. I keep up, better than a lot of locals, which probably isn't saying much!
I've seen the downward spiral. I've seen the corruption, the mismanagement, the in-fighting, and on and on, in city government. I've also seen the negative comments about all that, over the years.
What is the matter with those of you who are all over Bridger? Jealous? Ignorant? Stereotypical southern provincials? This guy is the ONLY shining star in that morass down there that I've ever heard of, or read about, as relates to city administration.
He started as a conductor, worked his way up, and has held prestigious positions at well known railroads. He's pulled an agency out of the slime of the NO public sector and made it wondrous: read, PROFITABLE. That's not to say that spending shouldn't be reined in, and he's amenable. Yet he is still berated. Ridiculous!
And you wonder why you can't get talent to stick around! (Never mind, the good old boy networks, and the friends and family plans.)
To the person who said Fortune (that's capital 'F', btw) 100 companies don't roll that way, I call BS! Just look at the salaries some of the top exec's make. Then, try to stretch your little brain, and imagine what their expense accounts look like. I've done audits of executive expense reports, and believe me, those at the top do "float".
Could this guy be any stupider? Rather than hire a contractor to check computers and keep all this on the quiet, he's blithering publicly, and now he's back pedaling? And commenting daily - whereas, had he just shut up, he'd be way ahead of the game.
The best way to get out of a hole is to stop digging. Someone grab Theriot's shovel.
Sorry about all the 'odd characters' in my original post. I pasted from Word.
nola.com happens.
Long time visitor here, for over twenty years.
Enlighten me, please.
Does your city government ever CUT EXPENSES???
I live in the northeast. Believe me, our real estate taxes go up every year, regardless of the drop in property values. They just raise what you would call the millage. (We don't have a homestead exemption, either, and we do have reassessment to market value every two years, required by law.)
Regardless, when city budgets are slammed, guess what? Expenses get cut – and layoffs happen! Teachers, firefighters, cops, admin, you name it.
I also agree with BayouWalker about fees vs taxes. Some hotshot lawyer should jump on that, and make a name for him/herself.
NOLA can't even get a grip on the reeeeediculous take home car situation. And point well taken as to why the city government hasn't cut anywhere, even with the lower post Katrina population figures.
Your city government isn't thinking about you taxpayers, i.e., when they extend paid parking into the evening. Re: Mardi Gras parades, tough! They'll count on the visitors, and the rest of you can go pound sand.
Gone are the days when I aspired to move to New Orleans. Long gone. It's gone from bad to worse there, and it's not just about fees.
I send up prayers every night for your city; but even the good Lord cant stop the destruction of that place, until and unless you get good government.
As for me, I'll stick with being a visitor. I'd be out of my mind, living there, with what y'all put up with.
This could swing either way.
If there are people on the GJ that have issues with police, wearing civvies could humanize those testifying.
If there are people on the GJ that respect the police, the uniform might be better.
Where there's no wiggle room: Riley is an idiot. He obviously isn't clever enough to reason out the above in his little pea brain. He's just flat out trying to keep NOPD from being identified, consequences be damned.
Who knows what the GJ is thinking? Riley sure as hell doesn't.
It's as if he is personally embarrassed. Fool. It isn't about your ridiculous ego. NOPD has suffered horribly from that stupid ego.
As to what happened on the bridge, I lean toward NOPD's version. There was enough national media coverage (I'm way up north) of events there to know that evil was on the march in NOLA; and that emergency responders were at a distinct disadvantage.
Re: Algiers, answers are needed.
Ray Ray isn't going to care if the rest of the world gets a horrendous health care bill jammed down its throat. He'll be tucked into his ivory tower in TX. Or maybe DC, given the current caliber of appointments there.
If NOLA doesn't elect a competent mayor next time, Katy bar the door. I personally know lots of people who will be putting their property on the market and heading out.
Those of us in the rest of the country, who pay attention, will just throw up our hands – for good – and say, buh bye NOLA. You deserve it.
BTW, I'm loving the avatars. Those little graphics make it much easier to skip over posters who have their heads up their butt.
I'm extremely glad they're finally doing something about the dead zone, but I ask you.
Farmers, once again, will get "subsidies and benefits"? While ocean fisheries have been regulated to the point that fishers are put right out of business, and historic fishing ports have all but lost their industry, and their centuries old identity.
Hopefully, reducing the dead zone will benefit gulf fishers, though. What irony.
'Tain't right! If the government is going to impose a hardship on one industry and subsidize it, then let them do it across the board.
Pelosi, Reid, and (if memory serves) Axelrod, et al, have been phoning north to get this done. Yes, indeed, they want that vote in the Senate.
However – the GOP is seeking an injunction, because laws in PRMA usually have a 90 day lead time before they become effective. In order to become effective immediately, laws need an "emergency preamble".
Although the hacks on Bacon Hill voted the change, they didn't include the "emergency" piece.
Stay tuned.
BTW, even in PRMA, as blue as blue can be, people are getting really fed up, with arrogant self serving politicians, at every level
