Sneak Peek at Alison Eighteen, Opening Soon in the Flatiron
Grub snagged some renderings of Alison Price Becker's upcoming restaurant.
Alison Price Becker ran her cozy west Soho restaurant, Alison's on Dominick, for over ten years until shuttering in 2002 in the wake of 9/11. Now the restaurateur is back nearly a decade later with Alison Eighteen, opening in a month or two in the flatiron. The Post has a big story on the restaurant today, revealing that the 7,000-square-foot space will have 135 seats in an upstairs dining room and a downstairs area that doubles as a film screening room and private event space. Grub got our hands on some renderings of the main dining room and the lower level. Also planned: a daytime coffee-and-pastry counter that morphs into a charcuterie and cheese counter later in the day. A rep tells us the space is "still a construction zone," so an exact opening day is elusive, but tide yourself over with another look at the space, below.
Alison Eighteen, 15 W. 18th St., nr. Fifth Ave.

Since opening in Late May 2010, It's Brothers Bar and Grill has mastered the concept of "Big Sports Bar". Originally started in 1990 in LaCrosse Wisconsin and since expanding to 16 locations throughout the US, It's Brothers Bar strives to provide fun entertainment with the cheapest deals and the widest variety.
Located at 1920 Market Street, It's Brothers calls the old Real World Denver house home. The huge space is filled with flat screen televisions carrying every game, a large outdoor patio complete with a fire pit, as well as great food served by smiling faces. It's Brothers aims to fill its bar with the 21-35 year old demographic.
The best time to check out It's Brothers is during happy hour or before a Rockies game due to its close proximity to the field. Happy hour runs Monday-Friday from 4PM until 8PM and all day on Sunday. Happy hour features ½ off all drinks and pitchers. Who doesn't love a $3.50 Chocolate Martini?
While you are there for Happy hour you might as well eat. It's Brothers likes to put the "grill" in Bar and Grill. I would suggest any of the wraps as well as the Philly Cheese Steak sliders. The staff is very accommodating with any special requests or food allergies. It's Brothers also features daily lunch specials from 11AM until 3PM.
With its great deals, Top 40 music selection and fun atmosphere It's Brothers is quickly becoming one of LoDo's hot spots. For more information you can check out the company website: www.brothersbar.com

Chapter X
After an hour of wandering through the seemingly endless underground tunnels filled with various deadly beasts, Ralik had finally reached his destination. He stood before the ancient Ebon Hawk at last. The ship's exterior didn't look as deteriorated as one might think, though there were clear signs of corrosion as well as old bumps. Some were from space battles, but there were some caused by explosives. It was now clear to Ralik that the ship's owner burried it here intentionally, obviously to hide the coordinates Ralik himself was looking for, or simply to keep them hidden for the right person to find.
Ralik entered the ship and started looking for the navicomputer. The ship's interior was dark and dusty and showed the same signs of corrosion as the exterior did. As he was passing through the ship's briefing room, Ralik saw two ancient droids, both long since deactivated. One of them was clearly an old Astromech droid, but Ralik didn't know what to think of the other one. It was a biped droid, holding a blaster rifle in one hand, his plating, though rusted, still showed bits of his old red color. Ralik continued towards the cockpit. He had found the Hawk's navicomputer. It was voice-locked, obviously an attempt of the owner to protect the information stored within. That protection might have been enough at the time it was placed, but today it can be easily bypassed. Ralik hacked in and retrieved the coordinates to his pad. It was time to go.
Ralik left the ship and moved for the surface, but a silhouette appeared in front of him. Jedi Master Anduil Wrynn had tracked him down.
''What do you want, Jedi?'' Ralik asked arrogantly, ''Are you another guardian of the ancient Jedi's dark secrets?''
''I am here to stop you, evil one!'' Wrynn replied in a tone filled with anger, very uncharacteristical for a Jedi Master, ''You have made a perversion of our galaxy, our great temple on Coruscant is now defiled by your perverse technology! The once glorious Jedi Temple now serves as a factory for your armor, weapons and body... upgrades!''
''Perverse!?'' Ralik was disgusted by these claims, ''We have transformed your vile, machinery-infested planet into a masterpiece of nature! Just as we will do with the rest of your galaxy! And when I return to glorious Yuuzhan'tar and assume command, the Yuuzhan Vong will be unstopable and I will lead them to their greatest victory!!''
''Not if I can help it.'' Wrynn replied and ignited his green lightsaber.
''There is nothing you can do to stop me, but you are welcome to try'' Ralik replied.
''It is said that the Ebon Hawk has information that can make a person extremely powerful and when I defeat you and learn that information, I will banish your entire race from our galaxy.''
Anduil thought to himself, he completely forgot about the danger such thoughts could bring.
Ralik took his amphistaff and assumed the battle stance. Anduil attacked.
Anduil was extremely skilled with a lightsaber, but Ralik was more than a match for him. The fight was flowing very fast, both fighters showing the best they've got. Anduil was showing an enormoous amount of anger, the Dark Side was taking over, but that didn't affect his skills yet. Ralik was fairly calm, he successfully blocked every Anduil's attack, but Anduil was just as sucessful in blocking Ralik's attacks. The victor would not be decided easily.
Wrynn was swinging his saber with great speed. He relied on swift and strong attacks. Ralik held his amphistaff with both hands, each hand was about ten centimetres apart from the middle of the staff. That way he could swing it sideways and also successfully block Wrynn's attacks that mostly went for the middle of the staff.
Wrynn swung his lightsaber at Ralik, but as before, he hit the middle of Ralik's staff, Ralik then pushed Wrynn back, turned his amphistaff diagonally and swung its left end downwards at Wrynn who, unfortunately for Ralik, managed to block it with his saber. Ralik kept pushing the staff to distract Wrynn for a moment and then he kicked him in the torso. Wrynn moved back a few steps, holding his stomach with his right hand.
''You will not defeat me, Vong.''
Wrynn rushed towards Ralik, swinging his lightsaber with only one hand.
Suddenly Ralik saw a weakness in Anduil's tactics and he immediately exploited it and knocked Anduil's saber out of his hand, after which he stabbed Anduil through his left leg. Anduil fell down, but was not about to surrender.
''I will not let such untold power fall in the hands of the Yuuzhan Vong!!'' Anduil shouted furiously, ''I shall gain that power and destroy your damned race once and for all!'' Anduil fell to the Dark Side and wasn't even aware of it. A poor end for the Jedi Master.
''You can shout about it all you want'', Ralik replied, ''but you are still going to die now!''
Anduil attempted to fry Ralik with lightning, but in his anger he forgot that the Yuuzhan Vong cannot be harmed by the Force. Ralik plunged his amphistaff into the fallen Jedi's heart, just then his eyes slowly started to turn red, just like they did in his vision. As the fallen Jedi exhaled his last breath, the expression of Ralik's face turned into a dark smile, filled with satisfaction. Ralik pulled out his amphistaff from Wrynn's body and left for the surface.

MAUI, Hawaii--Arizona's men's basketball team will open its play in the EA SPORTS Maui Invitational tournament here with a game against the Kansas Jayhawks scheduled for 7 p.m. (MST) on Monday, Nov. 21.
The game will be UA's first official game of the year. Although its 2005-06 basketball schedule is not yet complete, the tentative schedule has UA opening exhibition play in Tucson with its Nov. 3 Pepsi Red-Blue Game, a Nov. 9 exhibition against Sonoma State and a Nov. 16 exhibition contest against Basketball Travelers. The complete schedule likely will be available sometime in August.
The Cats join host Chaminade, Michigan State, Gonzaga, Maryland, Kansas, Arkansas and Connecticut in the 22nd annual Maui tournament, one of the popular holiday-week classics in men's college basketball.
Five of the teams played in the 2005 NCAA tournament (Arizona, Connecticut, Gonzaga, Kansas and MSU), while six are former NCAA champions including UA, Arkansas, UConn, KU, Maryland and MSU.
The Arizona-Kansas game is the third of the tournament, which begins Monday, Nov. 21, at 9:30 a.m. local time in the balmy 2,400-seat Lahaina Civic Center on the island's western shore. (The complete bracket is available through the link above.)
The winner of that match up will face the winner of the Arkansas-Connecticut game in a semi-final at 4:30 p.m. Hawaii time (7:30 MST) on Tuesday, Nov. 22, with the championship game slated for 4:30 p.m. (7:30 MST) Wednesday, Nov. 23. The loser of the UA-KU game faces the loser of the other game in a contest at 2 p.m. (MST) Tuesday.
For the first time in the event's history, all 12 games in the tournament will be shown on live national cable on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. Arizona's opener against Kansas will be shown on ESPN.
Each of the eight teams in the field has played in the tournament previously. Arizona won the tournament with a championship victory over Illinois in the 2000-01 season and also played in the Maui title games in 1997-98 against Duke, and in 1993-94 against Kentucky, giving it a 7-2 record in the invitational. Arizona also has played twice in the since-halted Rainbow Classic (Oahu) in 1968-69 and 1975-76, plus played in the 1984-85 Hawaii-Pacific Touranment and the 1991-92 Tip-Off Tournament on the islands. Arizona has an overall record of 14-5 mark in games played in Hawaii.
Arizona's allotment of tickets for the tournament has been sold out. Remaining school tickets will go on sale to the general public at 12 noon (MST) Tuesday, Aug. 16, via the tournament web site at mauiinvitational.com and through Oahu Travel, the official tournament travel agency (1-800-826-3822).

With all the analyst love pouring over the fast-casual dining concept over the last few years, it's easy to forget about the more traditional casual dining chains. While not as flashy as their fast-casual counterparts, some of the companies in this industry are still delivering solid growth at considerably lower valuations.
As such, it may be worth taking another look at the industry. Let's examine the prospects of the three major players, Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI), DineEquity (NYSE:DIN), and Brinker International (NYSE:EAT).
Food for thought
There is a reason why analysts are stumbling over themselves to tout the success of the fast-casual dining concept. It is simply growing faster than the casual dining market. 2013 marked the fifth consecutive year of considerably higher traffic in the category, up 8% for the year. Overall, the restaurant category reported flat traffic for the same period. Casual dining reported a traffic decline of 1%. As such, let's see who's outperforming the casual-dining industry.
Hint: It's not Darden. The operator of chains such as Olive Garden and Red Lobster has been struggling with revenue growth for some time now and is currently in the process of spinning off its underperforming Red Lobster business.
Overall profit was down 18% for the latest quarterly report, and there was an 8.8% drop in same-restaurant sales at Red Lobster. So the company is now looking to focus on its Olive Garden and Longhorn Steakhouse chains, which saw a decline of 5.4% and an increase of 0.3%, respectively..
DineEquity seems to be doing a little better. The owner of Applebee's and the iconic IHOP chain has been working on expanding its international footprint in order to boost sales. The company recently delivered an excellent fourth-quarter report with adjusted earnings per share of $0.98, up from $0.83 per share in the same period a year ago. The IHOP chain was the clear winner, with same-restaurant sales up a healthy 4.5% for the period and easily outpacing the family dining category.
Clearly, its first year as a 99% franchised company was a success. To sustain growth, the company is focusing on updating its menu offerings to include more healthy options. It's also making more use of social media as a marketing tool and developing the bar experience to create more personal interactions with guests.
Brinker, for its part, recently made waves with the introduction of tabletop tablets at its Chili's chain. The move in any case piqued analyst interest, with some believing the use of this kind of technology could provide a serious boost to the restaurant industry. While the tablets are not meant to replace servers, tablets so far seem to be reducing waiting times and could in the future provide recommendations and meaningfully streamline the payment process.
The company's second-quarter 2014 report impressed investors, with adjusted EPS up 18% year over year. Comps looked solid as well. Same-restaurant sales at Maggiano's were up 0.9% year over year, while Chili's rose 0.3% overall and 0.7% at company-owned locations. Fourth-quarter revenue inched up 2.1%, generally beating consensus estimates. Overall, Brinker seems to be more or less outpacing the industry. Let's take a look at valuations.
Valuations and metrics
Darden is the cheapest restaurant operator looking at both price-to-earnings and price-to-sales ratios, but it is also the worst performing of the stocks mentioned here. Brinker and DineEquity trade at comparable trailing P/E ratios. But looking at price-to-sales, DineEquity is considerably more expensive at 2.4 times sales. As a franchising company, margin comparisons are probably not too meaningful; but with an operating margin of 36%, DineEquity does look solid.
The bottom line
Of the three stocks discussed here, Darden seems like the worst bet, underperforming the industry on most metrics. As such, the choice is between Brinker and DineEquity. While DineEquity looks to be the better performer due to its huge same-restaurant growth at IHOP, I prefer Brinker for its slightly lower valuation, solid growth, and its use of new technology to improve the customer experience.

Somewhere along the line we had it ingrained in us that when accessorizing, we should wear only silver or gold. It seems a bit silly, but we still usually adhere to that, and when we saw this BCBGMAXAZRIA Reversible Sequin Envelope Clutch ($128), we knew it would be the perfect clutch for the upcoming season of soirees. Obviously, this glitzy piece will complement any outfit, and while it will certainly match my all silver or all gold jewelry, we like that the sequins flip back and forth to reveal their different shimmering shades, mixing it up a bit.

Marinating chicken in Coke before you fry it makes a uniquely moist and flavorful fried chicken. The trouble with occasional fried chicken at home is that it is hard to gauge how long to cook it, and you might end up with dried out chicken, or, less likely, undercooked chicken. The tricks in this marinated approach solve this pretty effectively. And this recipe would be great for a Valentine's Day dinner!
This recipe appeared, most recently, in the Seattle Times, and a day or so earlier in the New York Times, and so while we don't claim original authorship, we do report on how it is done and what we experienced. Both recipes called for organic, free-range chicken, a set of pretensions we don't think are necessary. Any well-raised chicken will do. This recipe calls for chicken thighs, and you should try to find ones that are similar in size so that the cooking times will be similar.
The only trick to marinating the chicken is to start in the morning, at least 5 hours before dinner and mix the Coke with the other marinade ingredients. Then, toss in the chicken, cover the dish and let it set in the refrigerator until dinner time.
For the marinade
- 5 cups Coca-Cola
- 10 sprigs thyme
- 1 Tb kosher salt
- 4 tsp hot sauce, such as Sriracha or milder
- 8 cloves garlic mashed and minced
- 8-12 chicken thighs
For the seasoned flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 Tb kosher salt
- 1 Tb medium hot paprika
- 1 tsp thyme
- 3 cups flour
For frying
- 3-4 cups canola or peanut oil
- In a large covered container, add the Coke, hot sauce, salt, garlic and spices.
- Add the chicken thighs, and cover the container. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
- When you uncover the marinade, it will be much lighter in color. Remove the thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Roll each thigh in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F.
- Heat the oil to 375° F in a large skillet or electric frying pan.
- Add the chicken, 3-4 pieces at a time, and fry for 3 minutes on each side. Be careful not to over cook, as the sugar from the marinade will cause a lot of browning. If they aren't too brown, turn the chicken over and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove to a parchment covered baking sheet and keep warm.
- When all the chicken is fried, put the chicken pieces in the oven for about 10 minutes until a meat thermometer shows at least 165° F.
This final oven cooking trick is what keeps the chicken from burning or drying out. You are actually undercooking the chicken a bit in the frying oil and finishing them in the oven.
Surprisingly, the chicken did not have much of a sweet taste. Any sweetness was quite subtle. But the chicken was incredibly moist and flavorful, and we'd make it again.
In fact, you could serve it very well to company, or to your loved one(s) for Valentine's Day.

Richmond will meet with winner of an Eastern Washington-Arizona game for the championship Thursday night.
The final basket, only Nelson's second of the game, ended a tight contest in which no more than six points separated the teams.
The lead changed hands four times in the final 54 seconds -- on two free throws by Butler's Bruce Horan and Jamie Smalligan, a 3-pointer by Richmond's Jermaine Bucknor and Nelson's slash across the lane.
Bucknor had 20 points, leading Richmond for the third straight game. Kevin Steenberge scored 16 and Jamaal Scott 11 for the Spiders (5-4).
Smalligan led the Bulldogs (5-4) with 20 points. Avery Sheets had 12 and A.J. Graves and Brandon Polk 11 apiece.
Polk had all his points in the second half, scoring seven in a 3:31 stretch in which he sent Butler into the lead twice.
The teams dueled through four lead changes and four ties in the second half before Steenberge started an 8-2 spurt with a free throw and Richmond took a 46-40 lead with 11:40 remaining.
But Polk went on his splurge, and Butler regained the lead at 51-50 on his free throw.
Neither team led by more than three after that.
Brooks had five points during an 11-2 run by the Bulldogs early in the first half. Sheets capped it with a 3-pointer, sending Butler to a 14-9 lead with 14:20 left.
But Steenberge tied it at 18 with a three-point play with 6:51 to go and dunked 32 seconds later, giving the Spiders the lead again.
Andres Sandoval broke a 26-all tie with a layup for Richmond in the final seconds.

Watch the IGN video on the top of this page to see, side by side, how FIFA 14 looks like on Playstation 3 and how it looks like on Playstation 4.
I have game data on ps3 for FIFA 14, when I transfer my profile to ps4 am I able to continue my ps3 version career on the ps4 version?
Yes, you will be able. But not everything.
Unfortunately, you can not transfer your Career Mode players or club from Xbox 360/PS3 to Xbox One/PS4 because of the way in which the different save files are stored from generation to generation. You will, however, receive rewards based on your Career progress on Xbox 360/PS3 that can be applied at the beginning of a new Career on Xbox One/PS4.
How does it work? As you go through the boot flow of FIFA 14 on next-gen, the game will recognize if you played FIFA 14 on Xbox 360/PS3, including how many games of Career Mode you have played. It will inform you of any carry over or perks that apply to your gaming progress. Regarding Career Mode – any time you start a new Career you will be presented with a screen showing you the rewards you have been awarded and the option to disable some of them for that particular CM save file. You need to have played at least 15 games of Career Mode on Xbox 360/PS3 to qualify for these perks, and the more you played, the better the rewards.

PR # 142 January 29, 2008
Evelyn S. Field of Bridgewater, a founding member of the Raritan Valley Community College Board of Trustees, has received the 2008 Drum Major Award from the New Jersey Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative Commission.
The award, one of three Drum Major Awards granted for Community Service, was presented during the Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Commemorative Celebration, held January 20 at the War Memorial in Trenton.
The Drum Major Awards were established to recognize exemplary individuals whose lives and work reflect the teachings of Dr. King and the power of service. The awards were presented in three categories: Justice, Community Service and Youth Impact.
?It is only fitting that Mrs. Field receive this prestigious honor for her many years of service to the community and Raritan Valley Community College. Her dedication to the College is exemplified by her efforts to establish The Paul Robeson Institute for Ethics, Leadership and Social Justice and the Holocaust Center at RVCC,? said RVCC President Dr. Casey Crabill.
?In 1993 the RVCC Board of Trustees paid tribute to Evelyn Field?s exemplary career as a librarian, teacher and advocate for expanding access to higher education by naming the College?s library in her honor,? Dr. Crabill continued.
Mrs. Field is the New Jersey State Convener for the National Council of Negro Women; chairperson of the Somerville Manor Civic Association Incorporated, Bridgewater; and Trustee Emerita of the Rutgers University Board of Trustees. She worked as a teacher and librarian in the Somerville Public Schools for 30 years. Mrs. Field earned her A.B. from Douglass College, an M.Ed. from Rutgers University and an M.L.S. from Rutgers University.
The ?Drum Major? term is derived from Dr. King?s ?Drum Major Instinct? sermon, which he delivered at Atlanta?s Ebenezer Baptist Church in April 1968, one month before he died: ?Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. (Amen) Say that I was a drum major for peace. (Yes) I was a drum major for righteousness.?
RVCC, located on Route 28 and Lamington Road in North Branch, NJ, and serving Somerset and Hunterdon County residents for close to 40 years, offers more than 80 associate degrees and certificates. For further information, visit www.raritanval.edu .

Bulldogs bashed in home opener, now 0-3
September 13, 2012
WILLIAMS BAY — It was anything but a smooth home opener for the Williams Bay football team Friday night.
Maybe it was the slick conditions caused by an earlier rain, but for some reason the Bulldogs could not hold onto the ball in the first half. And before they knew it, the game was virtually over.
Randolph jumped out to a 48-7 halftime lead en route to a blowout 55-13 victory in Trailways South action. In the first quarter alone, the Bay muffed a kickoff return and two punts which led to two touchdowns.
On one punt, the ball went over the Bay punter's head. He kicked at it on the ground but was unable to kick it out of the end zone. A Randolph defender fell on it for a touchdown.
It was the Bulldogs' 39th straight loss dating back to 2007.
But the Bay (0-3 overall) faced a formidable foe in Randolph, which is ranked No. 4 in Division 7 in the Wissports.net coaches poll. Bay coach Derek Diehl said his club was outmatched.
"The weather played a factor," he said. "We had a problem executing the center-to-quarterback exchange. They played the nose tackle on our center, and it made our center nervous. I knew what we were in for in our first three games. We're playing very senior-heavy teams. We have to start some freshmen, and we are playing against grown men."
The Bay showed some life late in the first quarter. First, on a double-pass play, Jacob Clark came down with an improbable 35-yard grab over three defenders to set up the Bulldogs in Randolph territory.
Then, a 30-yard John Higgins run set up quarterback Jake Sutter's 27-yard touchdown pass to Higgins, cutting the lead to 28-7 near the end of the first quarter. Higgins was playing in his first game of the season after sitting out the first two games with a knee injury.
He led the Bay with 14 tackles and 58 yards rushing.
"We're a different team with him on the field," Diehl said. "He's still not 100 percent."
Randolph was able to pull away after that. The Rockets reeled off 20 second-quarter points to seal the victory.
In the fourth quarter, Bay quarterback Jake Sutter found Ryan Bonamarte with a 76-yard touchdown strike. Bonamarte added a two-point run to make it 55-13.
Higgins, the team's normal long snapper, sustained a wrist sprain during the game. Diehl said the Bay had to use a backup snapper, and it affected the punting game.
Sutter passed for a season-high 161 yards in the game. But Randolph racked up 243 yards on the ground compared to the Bay's 43. Diehl said the Bay often gave Randolph a short field to work with.
Randolph's Thomas VanderGalien rushed for 204 yards on 20 carries with two touchdowns.
The Bay dropped to 0-3 overall, but the 13 points was a season high. Diehl saw some bright spots in the loss.
"The offensive line did a good job in the passing game," he said. "Sutter played really well and made some good decisions with the football."
Bonamarte paced the Bay with 85 yards on two catches.
Jacob Clark added two catches for 37 yards.
Diehl, a first-year coach with the Bulldogs, said the team is progressing nicely despite losing three games by an average score of 49-6.
"We are moving the ball," Diehl said. "We ran for almost 200 yards against Johnson Creek. We're limiting penalties and protecting the football. We've had some good plays, but the execution isn't there yet. The community sees a difference. They are congratulating us because they see the boys playing better. Our playmakers are young. We are steadily progressing."
It doesn't get any easier for the Bay Friday.
The Bulldogs travel to Rio (3-0), one of the top teams in the Trailways South.
"They are going to be good," Diehl said. "We're confident on what we can do well. It will be a good week defensively for us. We have to get our running game going and give 110 percent effort."

The Executive Course at Pine View could be best described as a multi-tasking track.
That's because the par 64, 4,025-yard layout fits the swing needs of all golfers due to its design and daily set-up, which includes three sets of tees.
Whether it's recreational beginners giving the game a try, mid- to high-handicappers in search of lower scores or scratch shooters looking to fine-tune their games, the Exec's twists and turns, cheeky water hazard locations and subtle green undulations give everyone about three hours or less of golf satisfaction.
"Having just taken over Pine View this spring, I wasn't very familiar with our Executive Course," said Don Costello, a member of the new four-man management team. "Typically, par three and four courses are short, can be poorly designed and don't offer much of a challenge to the more seasoned golfer.
"My wife and I have played the Executive Course on several occasions and it truly is a hidden gem. There are 18 distinctive and well-maintained holes and each time we played our round was completed in three hours. Prior to this we would often only play nine as the prospect of another two plus hours on the course held little appeal for my wife."
Costello says the Exec is ideal for busy men and women with time and budget challenges.
"Four-and-a-half hour and up rounds and high green fees scare many away from the game," Costello said. "Our Executive Course addresses both these issues. It offers affordable golf, completed in a reasonable amount of time and is situated right in the city."
The Executive Course at Pine View features nine par 3s, eight par 4s and a wicked dogleg left par 5 is the finishing hole.
Pine View is located at 1471 Blair Rd. To book tee-times, call 613.746.4653. To book a tournament, call 613.746.4301.

New Motorola Xoom 2, Zaha and other Android devices leaked?
Motorola might have no less than four new Android products ready (or almost ready) for launch: a tablet, two smartphones, and a watchphone.
All these appear in a set of images that reportedly show a redesigned version of Moto's official website – which isn't visible at Motorola.com just yet.
First of all, said images – found via PocketNow – suggest that a Motorola Xoom 2 is coming soon. Unfortunately, there are no details on its features, and we can't get a proper look at the tablet. Anyway, back in March we've heard that Motorola may want to introduce a new Xoom sometime in the second half of the year, so this could be it.
Next we have the so-called Motorola Zaha (seen in the image above, next to the alleged Xoom 2), and the Motorola Slimline, which appear to be really thin smartphones. Again, no word on their features.
Finally, there's the Motorola Tracy XL, which is… a watchphone – yes, like the LG GD910 and Samsung S9110.
We have no idea when Motorola intends to announce these new devices. Of course, they may not even exist – although I'm pretty sure we are going to see a new Xoom sometime soon.

If Atlanta's starting pitchers all pitch like Aaron Harang did against the Brew Crew on Wednesday, the Braves would have to be considered one of the favorites in the National League as they were able to win their second straight game 1-0 to take their first series of the season.
It was a pitcher's duel through the entire game. Neither Harang nor Milwaukee's Matt Garza allowed a hit through the first six innings. In the seventh, both teams were able to record their first hits of the game. The only difference was Atlanta's first hit of the game ended up as the only one they needed.
With two outs in the top of the seventh inning, Braves third baseman Chris Johnson homered to left field on a 1-0 count. Atlanta would also pick up singles in both the eighth and ninth innings of the game, but they were unable to score any additional runs. BJ Upton was able to record his first stolen base of the season in the ninth inning.
Harang pitched 6.2 scoreless innings for Atlanta. His 97 pitches included three strikeouts, one walk and just two hits, both coming in the sixth inning. Atlanta's three relief pitchers: Luis Avilan, David Carpenter and Craig Kimbrel, finished the game strong. They struck out two Brewers, walked none and Milwaukee was unable to muster a single hit during the 2.1 innings of relief.
Atlanta now heads to our nation's capital to take on NL East rival the Washington Nationals. The first of three games is scheduled for a start time of 1:05pm EST this Friday.

Laptop Battery Replacement – How To Replace A Laptop Battery
by goodrob13
Laptop Battery Replacement – How To Replace A Laptop Battery
Do you need to Replace Your Laptop Battery? After using your laptop for several hours per day, within a year or so yo'll notice that your laptop battery simply does not perform like it used to:
* it drains fairly quickly
* it takes longer and longer to charge up time
These are symptoms of your battery going and most likely needs to be replaced. But before you consider doing this, you should know that batteries sometime develop what is called a 'memory effect', which may be possible to solve. This is especially true of Ni-Cd batteries, and to a lesser extent, Ni-MH batteries.
What this means is that if a battery is repeatedly only partially discharged before recharging the battery "forgets" that it has the capacity to further discharge all the way down.
So for example: lets say you, on a regular basis, fully charge your battery and then use only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge, eventually the battery will become unaware of its extra 50% capacity which has remained unused.
The battery will remain functional, but only at 50% of its original capacity.
Try This Out First…
The way to avoid the dreaded "memory effect" is to fully cycle (fully charge and then fully discharge) the battery at least once every two to three weeks. Batteries can be discharged by unplugging the device's AC adapter and letting the device run on the battery until it ceases to function. This will insure your battery remains healthy.
Note that newer Mh and Li-Ion batteries do not suffer the memory effect.
Still Not Keeping its Charge ?
If you've tried the above and it's still not working, then you'll have no choice but to have the a battery replaced.
This is where a useful guide may be of assistance – one that covers doing this kind of job with ease and save you a lot of time and money since you won't need to send it back to the manufacturer for them to do it, plus you can do it yourself quite quickly and easily.
The guide will walk you through, step by step, all the instructions you need to follow to make your laptop battery replacement, as well as help you with many other repairs you may have to do as the laptop gets on in age.
Big Savings for You
Sometimes even the simplest of things will cost you in time and money if you were to send it back to the company, or to some other service technician – probably not less than a couple hundred dollars!!
And what about the time it would take, plus all the shipping costs and insurance, time at the post office, purchasing proper packaging material – since most likely you don't have the box – who keeps the box for more a than a couple of months anyway!?
Designed For the Average Layman with Everyday tools.
Gone are the days when you need simply throw out your computer because something is not working. With this guide and your average household tools, you can avoid expensive repair jobs.
So, if you need to do some kind of laptop battery replacement or some other laptop repair, then this is definitely the way to go.

From OncoLog, January 2009, Vol. 55, No. 1
Compass: Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
By definition, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a cancer arising from and pathologically confirmed to be confined to the terminal duct lobular units of the breast. It is therefore considered a noninvasive breast cancer. Each year in the United States, about 64,000 women are diagnosed with DCIS, representing 30% of women diagnosed with breast cancer.
Three decades ago, DCIS was found in patients relatively rarely, typically co-existing with invasive cancers in mastectomy specimens. In the even rarer instance in which a patient presented with clinically evident DCIS—a palpable mass or nipple discharge—she was treated with mastectomy.
Today, it is still unusual for DCIS to present symptomatically; approximately 90% of these cancers are discovered as microcalcifications on mammograms. Not coincidentally, the incidence of DCIS has risen dramatically since screening mammography became common. Indeed, finding small, early, and treatable breast cancers is the goal of such screening. "We consider it a bonanza when we find a very tiny breast cancer," said Wei Yang, M.D., an associate professor in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. "When breast cancers are larger or symptomatic at diagnosis, the treatment options are different."
DCIS is not an immediately life-threatening cancer, and by definition it is not an invasive cancer. Experts have even begun to question whether it should be called a carcinoma. Nonetheless, DCIS is almost always treated as if it is an invasive carcinoma: standard treatments include mastectomy or breast-conserving lumpectomy with or without radiation therapy—treatments derived from studies not of DCIS but of invasive cancers.
When DCIS is treated according to current standards, the 10-year overall survival rate is nearly 100%. DCIS is, however, associated with an increased risk of invasive breast cancer. According to Banu Arun, M.D., an associate professor in the Department of Breast Medical Oncology, when a woman is diagnosed with DCIS, her risk of developing invasive breast cancer in either breast increases two to four times.
In addition, DCIS does recur, and some recurrences progress to invasive cancer. Recurrence rates vary according to the aggressiveness of the initial treatment: women treated with lumpectomy have higher recurrence rates than those treated with mastectomy, and women treated with lumpectomy alone have higher recurrence rates than those who receive lumpectomy with radiation.
When DCIS recurs and remains noninvasive, survival rates are the same as for women who have an initial DCIS occurrence, and DCIS that becomes invasive confers a similar mortality risk as other initial occurrences of invasive cancers. This is because most recurrences are discovered early with proper surveillance.
Just as only some DCIS lesions will progress to invasive cancer, some will remain clinically irrelevant—an estimated 14%-50% would become invasive if left untreated, according to Henry Kuerer, M.D., Ph.D., a professor in the Department of Surgical Oncology. Hence, it is reasonable to postulate that current standards result in overtreatment for some women with DCIS. Currently, all women with DCIS undergo surgical excision of the tumor or the whole breast, followed by radiation therapy for some women.
Is it possible that some DCIS could be left alone or treated with a chemopreventive agent (one that prevents or delays invasive progression) instead of surgery? Given that the goal of cancer screening is to identify early treatable cancers, it is difficult to propose doing nothing when such cancers are found and difficult to mount clinical trials in which women would forego a known curative treatment.
The answer to the question, then, lies in learning more about the biology of DCIS and identifying biologic markers that are predictive of its behavior: will it progress to an invasive cancer, or will it lie indolent for many years as an in situ lesion, or will it perhaps remain forever harmless?
Like invasive breast cancer, DCIS is not one entity but a heterogeneous group of at least four subtypes, and intratumoral heterogeneity (mixed histologies within a lesion) may be observed. Thus, the clinical behavior of DCIS varies. Furthermore, because known DCIS has always been treated, little is actually known about its natural history. Dr. Kuerer believes that the ability to predict which DCIS will progress to invasive cancer is paramount to developing individualized therapies, and current research initiatives are likely to have a significant impact on treatment paradigms for this disease.
Treatment Approaches
When a DCIS lesion is discovered, the next task belongs to the diagnostic radiologist. "Additional imaging is crucial to help the treating physician delineate the extent of disease, optimize treatment, and ultimately reduce the risk of a local recurrence," Dr. Yang said. "Additional imaging is used to determine whether other possible disease foci are present in either breast, to precisely map their size and location three-dimensionally, and to determine their proximity to the nipple-areolar complex and their distance from overlying skin in order to ensure the best surgical outcome." The size and location of disease foci dictate the area or areas to be biopsied and also have implications for treatment choices. Currently, mammography of both breasts is the imaging method of choice for women diagnosed with DCIS, particularly those who present with mammographic calcifications.
Once the biopsy targets are identified, a close collaboration between the radiologist and breast pathologist begins. During image-guided biopsies, clips may be placed to accurately mark the lesion for subsequent excision. Digital radiographs of removed specimens are annotated to confirm that targeted calcifications have been removed and to provide correlation with the pathologist's findings.
Constance Albarracin, M.D., an associate professor in the Department of Pathology, said radiologic/pathologic concordance of findings is critical. The pathologist's goal is to determine histologic makeup and whether the carcinoma is truly in situ or contains any invasive component. Estrogen receptor (ER) status is also noted.
At MD Anderson, intraoperative analysis is provided to the surgeon by both the pathologist and the radiologist. Removed tissues—both en bloc and sliced specimens—are examined by the pathologist and also imaged intraoperatively to determine whether an adequate tumor-free margin has been achieved. Intraoperative collaboration between the surgeon, pathologist, and radiologist has been shown to reduce the rate of second surgeries from 50% to below 20%, and it is where Dr. Albarracin feels she has the greatest personal impact on patients' lives. "It's not always possible to avoid a second surgery—sometimes we find things on permanent sections, after surgery, that could not be detected during surgery," she said. "But when we can advise the surgeon that a larger margin is needed during the operation, we spare the patient and her family or caregiver the time, expense, and worry of another operation."
After surgery, permanent pathologic analysis of removed specimens is performed, and again, concordance between radiologic and pathologic findings is essential.
Mastectomy vs. lumpectomy
Few absolute medical considerations indicate mastectomy over breast-conserving lumpectomy. But the decision may be influenced by numerous factors, many related to risk or personal preferences:
• Tumor size and location
According to standard guidelines, lumpectomy is usually not advisable when a tumor-free surgical margin is not possible. Adequate margins are considered an important predictor of recurrence risk. Although recommendations about acceptable margins vary, most studies have shown significantly fewer recurrences when the margins are negative.
Lesions that are large in proportion to breast size may leave a significant defect. For DCIS that encompasses more than a quarter of the breast, mastectomy with or without immediate breast reconstruction may be the better choice for cosmetic reasons. Lumpectomy or removal of just a portion of the breast is not feasible in women who have cancer in multiple regions of the breast.
• Need for radiation
Radiation therapy is not required after mastectomy for DCIS, but whole breast irradiation after lumpectomy for DCIS has been shown in numerous studies to reduce recurrence rates by as much as 50%. (Currently, partial breast radiation given only to the breast region where the cancer is located and given over a much shorter 5-day period is being tested in clinical trials as an alternative to whole breast radiation.) However, according to Dr. Kuerer, women who have small, unifocal, low-grade tumors that can be excised with wide margins (at least 10 mm) have a low risk of recurrence and may reasonably forego radiation.
For other patients, the likelihood that radiation would be needed after lumpectomy must be considered before the choice of surgery is made. If radiation is likely to be needed, then women who are unable to undergo radiation therapy for any reason would not be candidates for lumpectomy. This includes women who have had previous radiation to the chest, women who are pregnant during the time radiation would be given, or women who have severe scleroderma or another confirmed severe active connective tissue disorder that may render tissues more sensitive to radiation.
Further, some women are unable or unwilling to undergo daily radiation treatments for several weeks. If reconstruction will be necessary, it will be best accomplished with autologous tissue, and therefore women for whom implant reconstruction is preferable might opt for mastectomy rather than lumpectomy.
• Recurrence risk factors
Although neither tumor histology nor size represents an absolute indication for mastectomy, higher recurrence rates are associated with tumors that are large, high grade, ER negative, or HER-2/neu positive and those that have comedo-necrosis. No specific architectural pattern or histology has been proven predictive of whether recurrence is more likely to be DCIS or an invasive breast cancer
Patient age is not a decisive recurrence risk factor but is considered. Young age (< 40 years) has been associated with a higher risk of recurrence in at least two large studies; the findings do not mean that younger women are not candidates for breast-conserving surgery but may suggest that younger women would derive greater benefit from radiation, according to the American College of Radiology.
There is no conclusive evidence that family history predicts for recurrence. However, women who have undergone genetic testing and are found to carry a BRCA mutation are at a significantly higher risk of invasive breast cancers, and many such women who develop DCIS are now opting for bilateral mastectomies.
• Patient perceptions and preferences
Finally, Dr. Kuerer pointed out that the choice of treatment is a very personal one, and numerous psychological factors may contribute—among them, fears about radiation treatment, the desire for minimal disruption of body image, and fear of recurrence—and which of those emerges as the most important varies among individuals. Some patients choose breast conservation because they view it as the least disruptive and invasive option. For others, the choice of mastectomy is based on their perception of risk—they believe that mastectomy provides the best chance of "getting rid of all of it." However, the perception of risk is something that requires physician-patient counseling: it is important for patients to understand what their risk actually is. "To say that a treatment lowers risk by 50% is not altogether meaningful if that risk was only 2% in the first place," Dr. Kuerer said. "We need to determine which patients are actually at risk of invasive progression—it may be very few—and which might need no therapy—it may be as high as 30%–40%. This is where our research efforts must focus."
Sentinel Node Biopsy
As DCIS is, by definition, confined, sentinel node biopsy is rarely necessary. However, postoperative pathologic analysis sometimes reveals an invasive component. In patients whose DCIS has an invasive component, lymph node status is very important. "Theoretically, in pure DCIS, no lymph node involvement would be expected," Dr. Albarracin explained, "but in reality there will be lymph node involvement in a very small percentage of patients." She believes this is more likely when a DCIS is large or high grade.
Mastectomy renders sentinel node mapping in a subsequent operation impossible if invasive cancer is also identified; in such cases, postoperative staging of the lymph nodes would require axillary dissection, a procedure associated with significant morbidity. Thus, at MD Anderson, sentinel node mapping is recommended during initial surgery in patients who have mastectomy.
Pathologic analysis of sentinel nodes is carried out intraoperatively on frozen sections. "If metastatic invasion is verifiable at that time, axillary dissection is carried out. However, if pathologic results are uncertain, we wait for the more reliable postoperative permanent section analysis before proceeding to axillary dissection," Dr. Albarracin said. Frozen sections can contain artifacts, such as ice crystals, owing to the high water and fat content in the specimen. Permanent specimens are sliced more thinly and analyzed with immunohistochemical staining, which makes it possible to see single cells and arrive at a more definitive judgment.
Adjuvant therapy options
Since DCIS is, by definition, a localized disease, systemic chemotherapy is not part of the treatment. "However, even if the patient's disease is treated adequately by surgery and/or radiation, her risk of future breast cancer is higher," Dr. Arun said. "For some patients, this suggests a role for adjuvant therapy, which is not a treatment but rather a risk-reduction measure."
Therefore, the possibility of adjuvant therapy with tamoxifen should be discussed with patients whose DCIS has positive ER status. Studies have shown a significant small absolute reduction of recurrence risk within the treated breast associated with tamoxifen as an adjuvant chemopreventive agent for ER-positive DCIS. Tamoxifen can also decrease occurrences of contralateral invasive and noninvasive breast cancer.
Despite such findings, Dr. Arun said that only about half of women with DCIS who are eligible to consider tamoxifen actually opt to take it. "This is likely because their risk is relatively small, and the drug does have side effects," Dr. Arun said.
In addition, there are no agents available for the prevention of ER-negative breast cancers. "Therefore, we are studying other agents to address ER-negative cancers and to identify chemopreventive agents with lower toxicity profiles," Dr. Arun said. Agents under investigation include COX-2 inhibitors, retinoids, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, and statins.

Designing and constructing a French chateau-style home in rolling Moreland Hills was an exercise in downsizing for Dino and Libby Palmieri. The 49-year-old Dino, known more for the salons that bear his name than Palmieri Builders, and his 33-year-old interior designer wife had previously lived in an 18,000-square-foot abode nearby, one of the half-dozen residences Dino estimates he has built for himself during his years in the home construction business.
"It just was too much maintenance, to try to keep everything up," says a jeans-clad Libby of her previous address as she leans against a counter in the kitchen of her four-year-old home and finishes a bowl of cereal.
The space in which she stands boasts anigre cabinetry, honed granite countertops, a large center island with vegetable sink, eating area with tray ceiling and massive kitchen table, two dishwashers, a 5-foot Viking range, wood-burning oven, and side-by-side Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, each 36 inches wide -- not exactly roughing it by any cook's definition. "I love to cook," she says, as if to explain the setup. "That's about the extent of my domesticity." The two-story, 12,000-square-foot home also has five bedrooms with adjoining full baths and whirlpool tubs, two half-baths, a home office, children's playroom, and a walk-out lower-level too well appointed to be called a basement. The family room, kitchen, living and dining rooms all open onto a deck that provides spectacular views of the surrounding wooded hills. A flight of steps leads down to a patio off the lower level and the back yard, which slopes down to a manmade pond stocked with fish and a ravine with a stream running through it.
"It's got everything you could possibly need," Dino says with pride.
"It's still too big of house," Libby replies.
The first indication that the Palmieris failed in their attempt at downsizing is the two-story foyer, where the towering taupe walls are decorated with a hand-painted chinoiserie-style mural of dogwood branches and native Ohio birds. Dino points out that the French limestone floors are heated, as is the tile floor in the four-car garage. "It's nice, with the weather we have," he says. Beyond the foyer lies the living and dining rooms, elegant spaces with arched vaulted ceilings, windows draped in sheer chocolate-brown silk draperies, and walls wrapped in a mocha paper that shimmers with a subtle bronze overlay. The eye is immediately drawn to the dining-room chandelier, an enormous work of hand-blown Murano glass.
The design is repeated in the hand-blown sconces on the living-room walls.
A short hall to the right leads to the first-floor master suite, a restful retreat of creams and soft greens. The bedroom is endowed with a deep tray ceiling, the limestone bath with the requisite his-and-hers vanities, shower-for-two with multiple showerheads and body sprays, whirlpool tub overlooking the back yard, and a separate room containing a toilet and bidet. A private staircase just steps away from the his-and-her walk-in closets leads down to a lower-level exercise room containing what appears to be every piece of equipment imaginable. "We put the exercise room right beneath our master suite so it would be easier to get up, come downstairs and work out," Libby says. Next door is a bi-level rec room with a barnstone fireplace, pool table, foosball table, seven arcade-style video games, and two TVs, one mounted in each back corner so sports fans can watch more than one event at a time.
The house's contemporary decor is softened by traditional touches, such as the enormous custom-made tassels on the silk cords used to tie back the living- and dining-room curtains and the thick fringe trimming the pillows on the living room sofa. Dino says the result is "a change of pace" from the traditional look of their previous home. The only deviation from the soothing palette of creams, taupes, browns and soft greens Libby chose for the interiors is the family room, a casual hangout off the kitchen with a limestone fireplace, 54-inch built-in television, and granite-topped wet bar lit by a trio of brushed-stainless-steel pendant fixtures. The walls were recently painted a kiwi green, the first step in a gradual remodeling of the room.
"I went kind of bonkers," Libby admits. "When I pulled (the paint) out, the painter was like, ÔLibby, are you sure?' And I'm like, ÔOh, yeah. It's so gloomy out here all the time. Let's just do something really intense and fun.'"
And then there are the children's rooms, which are fantasies unto themselves. The second-floor TV room and adjoining playroom shared by son Tristan, 9, and daughter Raea, 6, sports a hand-painted continuous jungle mural of trees and animals on the walls and rattan armchairs with corded-velvet leopard-print cushions. An 8-foot-high plush giraffe and a life-sized plush baby elephant permanently occupy the TV room. Tristan's blue-and-green room is actually a corner master suite with a circular study area in the brick-and-limestone house's lone barnstone turret.
Libby added architectural interest to Raea's yellow room by installing the facade of a vine-covered playhouse, complete with shingled roof, shuttered windows, double-Dutch door and picket fence, along one entire wall. Inside is a built-in bookcase and child-sized sofa and chairs. "When we moved into this house, Raea was barely 2," Libby explains. "This room was really kind of big. We didn't want her to feel lost in it, so we built the playhouse facade." Butterflies are painted on the walls and ceiling so they appear to be fluttering off the butterfly-print sheers at the room's two windows. More realistic counterparts made of feathers are found lighting on doorframes, walls, etc. throughout the room.
Because the Palmieris entertain so frequently, one might assume that the abundance of space is justified. Libby says she and her husband play host to friends and clients every other weekend at gatherings ranging from dinners for two or three couples to Halloween and Christmas parties attended by a hundred or more. But as in most homes, guests tend to gravitate to the kitchen and family room, no matter how hard Libby tries to lure them into other areas of the house with spreads of food and drink. In fact, the only resident or guest to use the living room with any regularity is the family dog, a year-old Shar Pei named Lola.
"At least someone's using it," says Libby with a laugh as she stops to smooth a rumpled seat cushion on the nubby silk sofa.
It is one of the reasons Dino talks of moving into a smaller home. He is once again eager to begin work on a new house, one that incorporates the latest trends in the building industry. And Libby envies her clients, who are decorating their homes in the bright colors that are currently so popular.
"Instead of remodeling, builders move," Dino says philosophically. "We don't plan on staying here that much longer. We don't know where to go, but we'll find something."
There are plenty of good reasons why a couple acquires a large tract of land and builds a good-sized house. Privacy. Peace and quiet. The space needed to raise a big family or entertain any number of friends and relatives in grand resort style. The desire to buy some horses or some livestock, maybe put in a large garden and a few fruit trees. Take your pick.
Gayle and Don Prebis of the Don-Pre Development Group did it because of their four large dogs.
The explanation the 42-year-old Gayle gives as she sits in a wicker rocking chair on the screened-in porch of her year-old home actually makes a lot of sense. Early in their marriage, she recounts, Don fell in love with one of the model homes he built in a nearby subdivision, a 5,000-square-foot traditional brick abode set on two acres. The couple sold their first place, a farmhouse on 26 acres in Hinckley, to take up residence there. The house was certainly nice enough. But it had been decorated in a formal style, with cream-colored carpeting and cream-colored tile floors that showed every pawprint -- not to mention the tracks left behind by Don's muddy work boots.
"It was just a constant struggle to keep it clean," Gayle remembers. "I had three golden retrievers and a shepherd mix, and they'd come in just filthy. And when we had a big party, there was no place to put them. They'd have to race through the house, get in amongst everybody."
Add the fact that the dogs had nowhere to run, and you have a couple looking to move. Gayle and Don eventually bought 11 acres approximately three miles away from that house and began work on a 7,000-square-foot brick-and-shake-shingle structure with an eclectic decor that would better suit their needs.
"Our whole intent was to downsize," Gayle says. "But we didn't want the dining room any smaller because we entertain a lot and have big families. The family room and the kitchen couldn't be any smaller. You start saying what rooms are important, and the next thing you know, the house just grows and grows and grows."
The house has plenty of Fido-friendly features, to be sure. The most obvious is a "dog room" equipped with a doggie door that provides access to a fenced-in run near the four-car garage and a "dog shower" -- a shower base with 4-foot-high cultured-marble walls and a hand-held personal shower -- where Gayle bathes the animals. The couple added a first-floor master suite because one of the golden retrievers, a recently departed pooch named Topper, had difficulty climbing stairs. And Gayle selected the taupe carpeting in the family room and master suite, as well as the ceramic tile in the kitchen, because it would conceal whatever dirt the dogs (and Don) might drag in. She notes that the hardwood floors in the front hall and dining room are actually amendoim, an exotic wood that is harder than oak and therefore less likely to be scratched by the dogs' nails.
"Having wood floors and having dogs don't always go hand in hand," Gayle says knowingly.
But the two-story dwelling is endowed with plenty of creature comforts for humans, too. Architecture buffs will notice, for example, the "This Old House" details 48-year-old Don included in the construction -- arched doorways, thick moldings and baseboards, fluted door casings, etc. "We always use poplar," Gayle says of the trim, "because you can paint it or stain it." She calls attention to the paneled maple wainscoting along the front-hall stairs, the triple-tray ceiling in the master bedroom, and the mosaic of limestone, sandstone, granite and marble inlaid in the front-hall floor. The feature is repeated over the cooktop in the kitchen and the whirlpool tub in the master bath.
"Everybody loves the look and feel of old homes, but no one wants to fix them up," Gayle says. "So you try to make your new house look like it has some age to it, some character."
Perhaps the most impressive example of woodwork is in the two-story dining room. Two identical sections of granite-topped custom cabinetry connected at the top by a graceful arch and dental molding dominate one wall. Gayle explains that the space between the built-ins was created specifically to house her cherry Williamsburg-style buffet. The glass-fronted cabinets on top, she adds, are a substitute for the matching hutch she never got around to buying. The cabinetry was painted an off-white and glazed to give it an aged finish that contrasts but doesn't clash with the cherry furnishings and amendoim floors. Eight-foot sliding-glass doors lead to the screened-in porch, which overlooks a 3/4-acre manmade lake.
While the soft-green dining room is literally the centerpiece of the first floor, the living room is conspicuously absent.
"We had one in the home that we just left, and the only time it was ever used was for our Christmas party," Gayle says.
"It was a complete waste."
A butler's pantry featuring a wall faux-finished to resemble a grapevine-covered stone counterpart and arched ceiling painted to look like a cloud-strewn sky leads to the sunny yellow kitchen, with its maze of Shaker-style maple cabinetry punctuated by bookshelves, plate racks and more glass doors. The island has bun feet, a touch that gives it the look of a freestanding piece of furniture. "I love to bake," Gayle enthuses as she shows off the warming drawer installed underneath her cooktop and the two wall ovens beside it. The kitchen opens onto a family room with a vaulted-and-beamed ceiling, walls faux-finished to resemble Venetian plaster, a built-in entertainment center, and rustic stacked-stone fireplace flanked by sidelights. The latter serve as showcases for a pair of stained-glass panels depicting birds perched on flowering branches made by Don's late father. The bird motif is repeated in a mural hand-painted on the powder-room walls and another stained-glass window installed over a landing in the front-hall staircase.
"My mom and dad loved cardinals," Gayle says, "so I have cardinals all over the place."
A large portion of the walk-out basement has been finished to create a nautical-themed rec room. Amenities include a stacked-stone fireplace, wet bar and Don-Pre Development's trademark feature: a built-in "pub seat," this one made of pine and lit by a Tiffany-style hanging fixture Don's father made. There's also an exercise room for Gayle and a full bath shared by both spaces. Outside is a stamped-concrete patio that puts residents and guests just steps from the lake and a burbling stream created by a manmade waterfall installed in the back yard. The couple is planning to build a flight of stairs from the open deck area off the screened-in porch to the patio so more people will enjoy it.
The second floor consists of three bedrooms, one of which has an adjoining bath. The other two each have in-room vanities and share a toilet and shower stall located between them -- the couple's version of a Jack-and-Jill bath. Don, who demanded a better view than the one provided by the study off the front hall, turned one bedroom into his office. A floating staircase leads to a single third-floor room known as "Don's Retreat." The lodge-like space, inspired by the couple's former vacation home on Atwood Lake, is finished in split-log siding and furnished with easy chairs, a television, telephone, under-counter refrigerator and built-in microwave. The private deck offers breathtaking views of the undulating countryside.
"Sometimes we think we live in the mountains," Gayle rhapsodizes. "It's hard to leave here."
When Chris Pastel of North Olmsted-based Miller-Pastel Builders began breaking ground on houses in the tony Westlake subdivision of Capel Vale, he decided to eliminate the daily commute from his North Royalton address by building one for himself. The stately English country-style abode, constructed of handmade brick and accented by thick limestone casings around the windows and doors, was for all intents and purposes built as a model home. He and wife, Leslie, who move every three or four years, decorated the 5,800-square-foot house with resale in mind, choosing high-end neutral finishes -- carpets and paints in creams and taupes, for example -- and traditional furnishings. "But we started making selections more for us," says Leslie, a 42-year-old advertising account executive for WKYC-TV 3, as she sits with her 50-year-old husband at the kitchen table and gazes out 9-foot-wide sliding-glass doors to the stamped-concrete patio and backyard beyond. The result is a beautiful yet unpretentious haven that invites people to sit down and stay awhile.
"With the stress levels of people today, we wanted a home that you can just come into and relax," Chris says.
The heart of the 2-year-old home is undoubtedly its kitchen, a well-appointed space with custom cherry cabinetry, beveled-edge granite countertops, and limestone floors that accommodates up to 18 people "cocktailing," as Chris puts it, yet manages to retain an air of intimacy. "We're not black-tie entertaining types," says Leslie, who prefers to cook with a old-fashioned range rather than a microwave. Two easy chairs nestled in a bay window next to a fireplace provide a cozy spot for guests to relax and chat with Leslie while she cooks. A bar at the island and a large kitchen table that easily seats six supply additional seating. In a corner near the table are a built-in wine rack, small sink and under-counter refrigerator with a glass door that displays the array of libations available for consumption.
Other kitchen features include a commercial-grade stainless-steel range with decorative hand-painted stone insert over the backsplash, a 42-inch refrigerator, built-in convection and microwave ovens, and a dishwasher. But the room's most outstanding feature is undoubtedly its cabinetry, with its hand-carved rope moldings, baluster trim, and a fireplace mantel with fluted legs.
The carpenter's art is well represented throughout the house. The adjoining two-story family room, which pulls double duty as the couple's more formal living space, boasts a fireplace flanked by stacked-and-arched windows with a mantel supported by two hand-carved corbels. According to Chris, the paneled section above the mantel, which stretches to the vaulted ceiling, was installed as a handsome backdrop for the 50-inch flat-screen plasma television mounted there. The powder room has a cherry vanity with a curved top that, with its vessel-style sink, looks like a freestanding piece of furniture instead of a built-in cabinet. And Chris's office is a masculine domain of cherry coffered-and-beamed ceilings, 7-foot-high paneled wainscoting, and the same Brazilian cherry floors found in the foyer.
More architectural interest can be found in the dining room, an area off the foyer defined by 8-inch-wide columns and a reverse tray ceiling covered in an embossed cream wallpaper that mimics the look of painted pressed tin. "I didn't want the metal, so our painter brought some wallpaper books over," Leslie remembers. Another embossed paper was used to provide the look of ornate plasterwork under the chair rails on the burgundy-painted walls. French doors open onto a courtyard, where the couple plans to add a cafe set for more formal al fresco dining. The first-floor master bedroom is endowed with double crown moldings, a bay window and Miller-Pastel's trademark deep tray ceiling, this one accented by hand-painted leaves and vines and subtle lighting hidden in the poplar trim. A spacious bath with a steam shower for two and large adjoining walk-in closet complete the master suite.
"If I'm up early getting ready for work, I can be in here, and it doesn't disturb Chris," Leslie says of the arrangement. Chris adds that the sealed steam shower prevents any moisture problems from developing in the closet, a portion of which is located directly behind the unit.
A poplar staircase featuring hand-carved newel posts and custom-made wrought iron spindles leads to the second floor, which consists of three bedrooms with attached baths and a yet-to-be-furnished "bonus" room. (An area of "dead space" at the end of the hall, a portion of which overlooks both the family room and foyer, was finished as a utilitarian space for wrapping gifts.) The entire second story, Leslie explains, is heated and cooled by a separate system that can be turned down or off when the rooms are not occupied. The second master suite, built and decorated with Leslie's mother in mind, has a large, bright white bath with striking cobalt-blue granite countertops and a claw-foot soaking tub Leslie favors over the whirlpool tub in the first-floor counterpart.
An open staircase from the foyer to the finished basement provides access to more storage, another full bath, and an enormous recreation area outfitted with a brick fireplace and wet bar. The furnishings include a pool table, craps table and slot machine. Leslie admits that the couple's two dogs, a Labrador retriever and golden retriever, play more here than she, Chris and their guests. The couple does, however, make use of the exercise room next door, which sports a mirrored wall and rubber tile floor. A utility room houses the furnace, one of two on-demand water heaters, a central vacuum system, and the guts of a whole-house audio system. But Leslie reveals that her husband's favorite toys aren't in the finished lower level or, for that matter, the heated three-car garage -- they're in the first-floor laundry room. He gets a big kick out of the high-tech GE Profile Harmony washer and dryer.
"They talk to each other," Leslie explains. "You put the clothes in the washer, and then it tells the dryer what's in there, so you just throw the stuff in the dryer."
"That's all I get out of this house," Chris jokes.
The washer and dryer, that is, and plenty of business. Regardless of how long the Pastels remain in residence, the house appears to have served its purpose well.
"Most of the people that we bring through here, we wind up building them a home," Chris says.

Queen Of The Damned
I've got nothing to penetrate
And I've got nothing to elevate
I can't seem to concentrate
'Cause I've got nothing to consecrate
I wouldn't know the solution
'Cause this ain't my revolution
I practice my prostitution
And spread the people's pollution
I've got nothing to mediate
And I've got nothing to dedicate
I can't seem to separate
'Cause I've got nothing to liberate
I wouldn't know the solution
'Cause this ain't my revolution
I practice my prostitution
And spread the people's pollution
I've got no one to aggravate
And I've got no one to emulate
You want me to assimilate
But I'm not going to imitate

It is all part of the "One-to-One Laptop School" movement in which schools nationwide try to provide a laptop for each student in a classroom.
According to Lori Gardner, Technology Director of the Park City School District (PCSD), hers was the first district in the state of Utah to move to a one-to-one model in grades 5-12. PCSD first ventured into the technological advancement six years ago with a two-to-one model in fifth-grade classes and has expanded since then.
"We started assigning laptops at Ecker Hill Middle School," said Gardner, "and last year was the first year that we had laptops assigned to each student at Park City High School."
North Summit School District (NSSD) executed the one-to-one model halfway through the school year last year, according to North Summit High School Principal Russ Hendry. In January, NSSD became a one-to-one district in which each student in grades 7-12 was assigned an iPad that they can take home with them.
"Teachers have started coming up with online assignments, and we started acquiring electronic textbooks in PDF form," said Hendry.
Kindergarten through sixth-grade classrooms have "carts," which are "basically computer labs on wheels," Hendry said.
NSSD Technology Director Kelly Richins said that there is a school Internet filter on the devices at all times and that about 80 percent of students have Internet access.
"It is sometimes a parent choice that these students don't have internet access," said Richins. "For those that don't, we have iPad applications that work online as well as offline."
Gary Crandall, Technology Director of South Summit School District, said that this will be the first year that SSSD implements a modified one-to-one model. This means that there will be 30 laptops available in every classroom grades 3-12, but the students cannot take them home.
"The laptops are made available in all of our core classes, which are our tested subjects - math, science and language arts," said Crandall. "They are also in our history classes."
Each student is assigned an 8GB USB drive for downloading assignments. That way they can work on them at home and bring the assignments back to turn in at school the next day, he said.
All three districts are working with Apple products, and SSSD even has Apple TV throughout the district. This means that students can give presentations in the classroom with their Macbook Air laptops without leaving their desks.
It has also helped SSSD cut back on some expenses. According to Crandall, teachers are given software for each specific core subject, so instead of buying the licensing for software for 500 different computers, the district only has to buy it for 30 since the computers remain in the classroom.
However, while all students are being treated to these technological advances, some do not have Internet access at home. The school districts are working with local vendors to help those who qualify for discounted Internet access.
Stacy Busby, a Comcast representative, said that families with students who qualify for the free lunch program are eligible for a significant discount on Internet services.
"We are working with schools to help bridge the digital divide," said Busby. "Almost everything is done online now, and we feel that internet access is very important for kids to keep up in the classroom."
PCHS classrooms are all wired with Internet access that extends to the parking lots on school grounds, and if a student does not have access at home, they are given a list of hot spots in the community, Gardner said.
"We are very cognizant of those students who do not have Internet access," said Gardner. "We also make sure that teachers are aware and make assignments available offline."
