|Fast break: Celtics-Sixers
|11.03.09 at 9:26 pm ET
The Celtics improved to 5-0 on the young season with a 105-74 win over the Sixers Tuesday night in Philadelphia. It was the Celtics first game against an Atlantic Division foe and while they struggled offensively at times they remained dominant defensively, holding Philly to 36 percent shooting and 1-for-16 from 3-point range.
The Celtics broke it open in the fourth quarter with 23-5 run, which gave Lester Hudson, JR Giddens and Brian Scalabrine ample time to work on their games. The trio scored 13 points. Philly's leading scorer, Andre Iguodala scored 17. It was that kind of night.
Player of the game: Rasheed Wallace. Philly's favorite son shot the Celtics into the lead with three first half 3-pointers and broke it open with three more in the second half. Wallace finished with 20 points and 6 rebounds in 24 minutes of action.
Turning point: It was late in the first quarter and the Celtics were having a miserable time of it offensively. They had scored points on just two of their first 15 possessions and weren't running anything resembling an offense. That's when Rajon Rondo popped a 20-foot jumper. The second unit came in soon after that and the hot shooting of Wallace, Eddie House and Marquis Daniels opened up a double-digit lead.
Rondo's shot was a minor blip in that run, but further confirmation that he has more confidence in his jumper.
* According to the early box score, Marquis Daniels was an unadjusted +21 for the Celtics. What that means in layman's terms is that the Celtics were 15 points better than Philly when Daniels was on the floor. Unadjusted +/- is not a very reliable indicator of performance over time, but it helps reveal Daniels' contribution in a way that six points, three rebounds and four assists never will.
* In theory you don't need a true point guard to run the Princeton offense that new Philly coach Eddie Jordan is employing. That's good news for Philly because Lou Williams is a lot of things, but a true point isn't one of them. What you do need are willing passers, good shooters and movement away from the ball. The Sixers had none of that.
* The Celtics opened the fourth quarter with a 69-54 lead. That's a comfortable margin, but it wouldn't have been a surprise to see the starters back on the floor at some point to finish it off. Instead, the bench pushed the lead to 33 points and the starters never had to take off their warmups again. Those kinds of unexpected gifts are invaluable over the course of the season.
* Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Kendrick Perkins were a combined 4-for-18. Everyone else was 37-for-54. Frightening.
|Making it official: Rondo re-ups with Celtics
|11.02.09 at 8:48 pm ET
WALTHAM, Mass. — While Rajon Rondo spoke earlier in the day about the long-term security his new deal would provide, the Celtics waited till every detail was in place before announcing Monday night that they have re-signed their All-Star point guard to a contract extension, thus avoiding restricted free agency next summer.
WEEI.com's Jeff Goodman confirmed through NBA sources that the extension is worth $55 million over five years.
The following was the release from the team:
The Boston Celtics announced today that the club has signed point guard Rajon Rondo to a multi-year contract extension. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
'We are extremely pleased to be able to extend Rajon's contract,' said Celtics President of Basketball Operations, Danny Ainge. 'We believe that he is one of the elite point guards in the NBA and has a tremendous future ahead of him.' Read the rest of this entry »
|Rivers on Rondo's Contract: 'I Can Fine Him More'
|11.02.09 at 3:36 pm ET
Rajon Rondo now has security in the form of the five-year deal to which he's agreed in principle. At the same time, Celtics coach Doc Rivers also has a form of security in knowing that he will have the dynamic point guard beyond the 2009-10 NBA season. And so, Rivers felt little need to hide his enthusiasm for the deal.
"I love it. Whenever we can lock up a player like him, that's what you want to do," said Rivers. "I said last week that I really thought he'd be a Celtic for life. Now, with the contract, at least for the most part of it, he will be. That's a good thing."
That notwithstanding, Rivers suggested that the deal — which has yet to be finalized — will do little else to change the Celtics. Rondo will be treated as the same player, and the team is unlikely to view the point guard differently just because he received the lucrative deal.
"I just look at him as a player. I'm not going to look at him today any differently than I did yesterday. When he screws up, I'm still going to yell at him. I can fine him more. I guess that's the good news of the contract. We treat him the same. We treat everyone the same. Our motto here is we're going to coach you the way you should be someday, not the way you are today. That goes for everyone," said Rivers. "It's obviously a topic of conversation because everyone talks about it all around. It's funny ' no one made a big deal of it [at practice] today. They kidded him about it. We just went about our business. That's pretty much who we are."
Rivers did not seem to think that complacency would become an issue for Rondo in light of the financial security of incredible wealth. The idea of a player achieving peace of mind through such a contract, the Celtics coach suggested, was exaggerated.
"As a player, you just play. It's all within. You keep your drive. You keep pushing forward. He's 24 years old. I think that is for guys, that 32-year-old age who get that last contract, that's peace of mind," said Rivers. "But at this point in his career, I don't think he thinks of it that way. I think he looks at is as something I've earned, something I've worked extremely hard for, and I want a couple more of these big deals."
|Rondo: 'I'm thankful for what I'm signing for'
|11.02.09 at 2:22 pm ET
WALTHAM — Rajon Rondo acknowledged for the first time following Monday's practice that he has agreed to a five-year contract extension with the Celtics. The deal is worth a reported $55 million.
"I'm thankful for what I'm signing for," Rondo said.
[To hear Rondo answer questions about his new deal, click here.]
[For audio of Doc Rivers' reaction and what it means to Celtics, click here.]
The deal between Rondo's agent Bill Duffy and the team has yet to be finalized but Rondo acknowledged it's a formality.
The team made Rondo available following Monday's practice as the team will fly to Philadelphia for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
"Nothing changes," Rondo added. "Still have one goal in mind. It's great to have security but we're still focused on winning a championship.
"No, it's not, necessarily, happiness is. I couldn't deal without my teammates," Rondo said. "I've had great teammates for the past four years. When it's all said and done, we're still going to have relationships on the court, regardless of whatever certain guys make. The relationships you build with one another in the NBA, you can't compare it to money."
Rondo also added that he's grateful that his young daughter will be taken care of. Read the rest of this entry »
|Rondo, C's agree in principle
|11.02.09 at 8:35 am ET
According to Jeff Goodman of WEEI.com and FoxSports.com, the Celtics and Rajon Rondo have agreed in principle to a five-year contract extension that could reach a worth of $55 million. The agreement was first reported by Yahoo! Sports. Rondo's agent, Bill Duffy, who works out of California, was scheduled to talk again with the Celtics late Monday morning.
According the Yahoo! report, the parameters of the agreement were reached late Sunday night when Celtics general manager Danny Ainge agreed to the particulars in a late-night phone call, a day before the deadline to ink such an agreement. If there was no extension agreed upon prior to 6 p.m. Monday, the 23-year-old would have been in line to become a restricted free agent following the 2009-10 season. WEEI.com reported last week that the Celtics' initial offer was five years and $45 million, while Rondo was looking for $60 million over the same time period.

Flannery: What a Rondo Deal Would Mean
|Rondo on Hornets: 'It was intense'
|11.01.09 at 10:31 pm ET
Sunday's postgame access to Rajon Rondo came with a condition to reporters: No questions about Chris Paul.
After Rondo and Paul traded verbal barbs and even a double-technical midway through the second quarter, the two star point guards of the Celtics and Hornets got into it even more at the end of the fourth, with both teams needing to be separated.
"It was very intense," Rondo said. "I think it was our first close game. I think we handled it well. We didn't play extremely well tonight but when they made their run, we got stops and then we scored offensively."
Ray Allen played next to Rondo all night and he liked what he saw from the intense tete-a-tete between Rondo and CP 3.
'Yeah, they're both feisty," Allen said. "Both aggressive, in your face. They take the ball to the hole. Put you on your heels all game long. So I'm pretty sure it can get pretty chippy out there.'
And Allen didn't mind seeing that, as long as the teams left the hard feelings on the court and controlled each other coming off, which was a bit of a challenge following Boston's 97-87 win.
"Walk off the floor and say, 'Way to compete tonight,'" Allen said. "For those 48 minutes, I cannot stand you. I wanted to fight you. I wanted to do everything I possibly could. And when you walk off the floor you say, 'Way to battle."

|Fast break: A quick take on Celtics – Hornets
|11.01.09 at 9:21 pm ET
On Sunday the Celtics beat the Hornets 97-87 at the TD Garden. Just when it looked like the Celtics would be overpowered by the Hornets bench, Paul Pierce came through in the clutch.
Player of the game: Paul Pierce scored 20 points in the first half before going quiet in the second. But with the game on the line, the captain drained a crucial three to give the Celtics a nine-point lead with 1:14 left in the fourth to lock up the victory. He finished the night with 27 points (10/14 FG, 3/5 3PG, 4/6 FT), four rebounds, and two assists.
Turning Point: The Celtics looked in control entering the second half before Peja Stojakovic got the hot hand. After watching him score 16 points in the second half, Rivers called timeout with 6:03 left in the fourth quarter to put his starters on the court, up 82-80. After Paul put the Hornets within six points on free throws, Pierce drained the game-clinching three with 1:14 left in the game to give the Celtics the determining 96-86 lead.
– The Celtics dominated the second quarter with a 13-5 run that bolstered their lead to as many as 11 points. The stretch included a pair of treys from Pierce, one from Allen, and an alley-oop from Rondo to Garnett. During that time the Hornets committed three fouls, two turnovers, and had one shot blocked. The Celtics went into halftime leading 47-38.
Battle of the Benches: Led by Stojakovic, the Hornets bench outscored the Celtics 40-21. Stojakovic scored 26 points off of 9-for-15 shooting from the field and 6-for-10 from three-point range. Bobby Brown and Hilton Armstrong combined for 14. Wallace led the Celtics reserves with 12 points (5/10 FG, 2/5 3PG) while House, Daniels, and Williams added a total of nine points.
Losing the lead: Prior to Sunday's game, the Celtics had not trailed since 1:48 remaining in the second quarter against the Cavaliers on October 27. The Hornets broke the streak when they went up 9-6 with 7:54 to go in the first quarter. The Celtics had held the lead for just under 130 minutes.

Djokovic holds off Stepanek in 4 sets at Wimbledon
LONDON -- Novak Djokovic held his breath. Radek Stepanek knelt on the Wimbledon turf and folded his hands in mock prayer.
After more than 3 hours of fierce tennis, with both players diving and tumbling all over Centre Court, it all came down to a video replay on match point in the fourth set.
At 6-5 in the tiebreaker, top-seeded Djokovic hooked a sharply-angled forehand passing shot that was ruled wide. He challenged the call.
With both players and 15,000 fans watching eagerly, the replay was shown on the big screen and the verdict came in: The ball had landed on the line.
Point and match for Djokovic.
On a day when champions Andy Murray and Venus Williams won in straight sets, the late afternoon drama capped an entertaining battle that gave Djokovic a 6-4, 6-3, 6-7 (5), 7-6 (5) victory over the 35-year-old Czech veteran and a spot in the third round at the All England Club.
The two men shared a warm embrace as the crowd gave them a huge ovation.
"We know each other's game really well," said Djokovic, who extended his career record over Stepanek to 11-1. "I was two sets up. I had some break-point chances in the third and should have closed it out in the third-set tiebreak. But credit to him for fighting."
Djokovic, who won Wimbledon in 2011 and has seven Grand Slam titles, served 18 aces and had 54 winners.
Murray, meanwhile, dropped just two games and needed only 81 minutes to blow away Blaz Rola of Slovenia 6-1, 6-1, 6-0, a dominant performance that showed he'll be tough to beat as he bids to become the first British player to retain the Wimbledon title in 78 years.
Five-time women's champion Venus Williams overcame a slow start to beat Japan's Kurumi Nara 7-6 (4), 6-1 to get past the second round of a major for only the second time in her past 10 Grand Slam tournaments.
Meanwhile, No. 7 David Federer became the highest seeded men's player to go out so far. The Spanish clay-court specialist was beaten by Russia's 118th-ranked qualifier Andrey Kuznetsov, 6-7 (5), 6-0, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Federer's loss ended his streak of reaching at least the third round at 17 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments. Kuznetsov, the boys' champion at Wimbledon in 2009, achieved his first win over a top-10 player.
The 30th-seeded Williams won six straight points in the tiebreaker after being down 1-4 and ran off six straight games in the second set to beat 41st-ranked Nara.
"It's definitely a step in the right direction," Williams said. "The thing that I just have to really work on is being on tour consistently and playing tournaments."
Next up for Williams is a third-round clash with 2011 champion Petra Kvitova, the Czech lefthander who downed Mona Barthel of Germany 6-2, 6-0.
"I think we both play similar games, really go for it," Williams said. "She's one of the kind of players who can get kind of hot against me."
Eighth-seeded Victoria Azarenka was eliminated by Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. Azarenka, a two-time Australian Open champion and former No. 1, was playing in just her second event since the Australian Open after being sidelined with a left foot injury.
Also advancing to the third round was second-seeded Australian Open champion Li Na, who beat Yvonne Meusburger of Austria 6-2, 6-2 on Court 2.
Fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland needed less than an hour to beat Australia's Casey Dellacqua 6-4, 6-0.
The man who shocked Roger Federer at Wimbledon a year ago, Sergiy Stakhovsky, pulled off another surprise Wednesday. The 90th-ranked Ukrainian used the same serve-and-volley style that worked against Federer in 2013 to beat 12th-seeded Ernests Gulbis 6-4, 6-3, 7-6 (5).
No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov, coming of his win at the grass-court warm-up at Queen's Club, sailed into the third round by beating Australian qualifier Luke Saville 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

The Phillies have shut down Jake Thompson
Phillies rookie starter Jake Thompson has been shut down for the year. Not that there's much of the year left, but he will not make what would've been his last start.
Thompson allowed three earned runs over four innings in the Phillies' 17-0 blowout loss to the Mets. That leaves him with a 5.70 ERA in 53.2 innings for the season. Which, while that's kind of ugly, it was a function of some bad starts mixed in with good starts as opposed to overall badness.
Everything about his 2016 should be viewed as "get yourself used to the big leagues, because you're going to be part of this rotation in 2017 and beyond," and from that perspective, you can call 2016 a success.
Congressional candidate uses Jose Fernandez's death to score political points
As a horrible Sunday unfolded yesterday there was at least one thing buoying the public mood: the overwhelming outpouring of emotion and love for Jose Fernandez and warm remembrances of his all-too-brief time on Earth.
But it wasn't a unanimous sentiment. Some people, like this Florida state representative who is currently running for Congress, thought it was a great time to make a political point:
Setting aside the tastelessness of Gaetz's timing and intent, one wonders if he appreciates that the reason Fernandez risked his life on multiple occasions was specifically so he could live in a country where protesting and not exhibiting a reflexive loyalty and patriotism is a fundamental right and does not get you thrown in jail.
But really, it's the tastelessness which most galls here.

This is exactly it. It's a shame, really. I have family members who own their own businesses and make a good living and I don't think they should have to give their money away at the whim of some politician preaching "fairness".
What rich people don't seem to get is that the money is going to leave their pockets in one form or another. Either by paying good salaries and benefits or by being taxed to pay for an increasing welfare state. They have more control and stand to benefit more from the former, of course.

David Hicks by Ashley Hicks II
Above, "Turkish Flower," in red on linen, an original David Hicks design inspired by a silk kaftan in the Topkapi Palace wardrobe.
Above, top right to bottom:
"La Fiorentina" in coral; "Cliffoney" in salmon/wheat; "Waistcoat" in salmon: "Axum Stripe" in coral/sand; ""York Castle" in salmon; "Kyoto Shrine" in salmon; back fabric is "Coggeshall Solid" in salmon.
Above, "Daisy, Daisy," a geo-floral on cotton/linen that David Hicks first designed in 1961.
This fall, Groundworks will launch a second geometric fabric collection by Ashley Hicks. Again, the line is designed in the style of Hicks's iconic dad, David Hicks. But this time, Ashley's own vision is more dominant with bold geo-florals and geometric figures, and up-to-the-minute color colorways. Above are just a few prints that caught my eye.
Check back for more fall fabric previews over the next few days.
Suzanne Rheinstein for Lee Jofa
Above, "Folie Chinoise," is an overscale French chinoiserie print, on all cotton, adapted from a mid-century French design. Rheinstein sees this as ideal for a large wing chair.
Above, "Dotted Leaf," the most graphic pattern in Rheinstein's collection, was inspired by an 18th century English indigo resist print.
Above, "Ikat De Lin," a large scale print on handwoven linen.
"Sensuous and comforting" is how Suzanne Rheinstein describes the translucent colors she chose for her debut collection of fabrics designed for Lee Jofa. The line is set to launch in the fall. Expect to see Rheinstein's signature milky aquas, warm honey tones, bronzes and gray-greens. Above are a few of my favorites. Not surprisingly, I especially adore the large scale "Folie Chinoise."
Unapologetically Pretty
Unapologetically Pretty. Recently I saw that phrase used to describe an apartment. If only I'd been clever enough to think of those words when I named this blog last year. Well, at least I can create a regular feature using the headline. These rooms above, decorated by Emma Jane Pilkington, fit the category perfectly.
I love the liberal use of hand-blocked prints from Raoul Textiles. It's all sort of "Marie Antoinette goes to India." Photography by James Waddell for House & Garden, March 2006. (Click images to enlarge.)
Book Alert: Inspired Styles
Above, a David Hicks geometric pattern on linen, "La Foirentina" in Ivory/Bark, is just one sample from the many great liscensed collections produced by Groundworks, a division of Lee Jofa. If the pattern looks familiar, you probably spotted it on the June/July cover of Domino; India Hicks has living room chairs covered in her legendary dad's fabric.
An impressive list of interior designers have licensed collections produced by the fabric houses, Lee Jofa and Kravet. The stellar line-up includes Alexa Hampton, Ashley and Allegra Hicks, Suzanne Rheinstein, David Easton, Barbara Barry, and Thomas O'Brien -- just to name a few. Fifteen of these talents will be featured in an upcoming book, Inspired Styles, scheduled to be released by Assouline in time for holiday gift-giving 2007. I've been told the book's focus will be on timeless rooms, and what inspires these diverse designers to create them.
Gracie Samples
In case you missed this in Domino, The Decorator's Secret, located in Stamford, Connecticut, offers a vast array of home furnishing samples, such as panels of Gracie handpainted wallpaper. The panel shown here, above, is approximately 36" x 120".
Code Blue
Well, code turquoise is more to the point. Kendall Wilkinson designed this bedroom, above, for the San Francisco Decorator Showhouse. What do you think? Magical? Too intense? Fun for a showhouse?
If the complete look is too much for you, could you take inspiration from a few elelments here?
The deep glossy walls remind me of pictures I've seen of Mario Buatta's interiors in the 1980s.
Margaret Blue
Above, Chair Couture's "Jeffrey," a circa 1940 carved armchair in ivory lacquer with aqua wool upholstery.
In the May 2007 issue of Australia's Home Beautiful Magazine, Margaret Elman, founder of Chair Couture, said the term "Margaret Blue" is her friends' new word for aqua. According to the magazine, Elman adores all blue shades ranging from "the palest robin-egg blue to sky-and-sea aqua to Tiffany-box blue to full-on, whipping bright 1950s-diner turquoise."
If you're a fan of the color too, visit the press section of Chair Couture's site to view the 10-page spread on Elman's apartment.
Hicks-Lancaster Offspring
The other day, I mentioned a line Mary McDonald once said, "If David Hicks and Nancy Lancaster were married -- that's my style." As an afterthought, I wanted to share this dining room done by McDonald, for her own home. To me, it totally reflects the quote, mixing graphic Hicks-ish chairs with Lancaster's softer, feminine look.
Photography above, Melanie Acevedo for House & Garden, November 2001.
Chair Interrupted
I've never given this surprisingly sturdy old Louis XV-style chair much of a chance to get comfortable in its own skin. I keep re-upholstering it. Since the chair is small and doesn't require much yardage, I can indulge in fabrics that would be too expensive for me on a larger project. (Today my current fabric obsession is still KWID's "Imperial Trellis" in Citrine.)
Although, I have to admit that sometimes I think this style chair looks its absolute best upholstered in a simple solid, like Mary McDonald's brown side chair below, photographed by Melanie Acevedo for House & Garden, November 2001.
If you're interested in re-inventing a chair, inspirational sites are Chair Couture and Blossom Home's Flickr page.
Inspired by Nancy Lancaster
Charlotte Moss has launched a new line of dinnerware for Pickard. The "Nancy" pattern, shown above, was inspired by legendary Virginia-born decorator, Nancy Lancaster, who spent her adult life in Brittan and came to be known as the mother of the layered English Country style. She and partner John Fowler were the creative force behind the famous design firm, Colefax and Fowler.
The Moss porcelain is now available online at charlottemoss.com. A dinner plate costs $50.

Lamp Muse
Above, a pair of blanc de chine floral vase lamps available through Woodson and Rummerfield's. W & R estimate that the vases that were created in the 1890's, and were later converted into lamps in the 1930's or 40's. The shades are new and made of simple white linen. $3,650.
The other day, KC called me a "lamp muse." I like this description so much that I plan to now do a regular "lamp muse" feature, in which I'll highlight exquisite lighting available retail. I hope these pieces will inspire some to have their own lamps made from a flea market find or heirloom.
Just know that if you have a valuable antique made into a lamp, you may lesson its value. Where I live, it is possible to have an object wired for less than $50; lampshades vary greatly in price, depending on materials and maker. Hardware and cords also range in cost.
How Important is Interior Design?
Above, an ideal arrangement: Kenneth Brown gave a grandmother a lovely and unexpected fresh start with this airy, 750-square-foot Japanese Pole House. The client's children generously built the structure for her on their own property. There's nothing sad or dismal about this place.
Once when I attended a lecture given by Rose Tarlow, a decorator stood up and tried to get Ms. Tarlow to comment on the vital contribution interior designers make to society. Tarlow balked at this, basically saying that designers do what they do simply because they love it.
I agree that decorators should hardly be ranked up there with physicians, teachers, or volunteers for Meals on Wheels. But I do think good design can bring dignity and joy to people. Especially those who spend most of their time in one small space, and have little choice about where they live -- the elderly, kids in foster care, teens in a hospice.
For most, a private little Japanese pole house, like Kenneth Brown's project, is not an option. However, remember Domino's Woodycrest project? There a team of designers brought high style and comfort to an institutional setting. Wouldn't it be phenomenal if more talented decorators could spruce up the digs of people truly in need of cheerier surroundings?

Art Media Resources
Celestial Silks: Chinese Religious & Court Textiles
As its name implies, Art Media Resources, a publishing house specializing in Asian art, is in fact a great resource for anyone with a serious interest in the subject. Above and below are some titles that caught my interest. The publisher's catalog also includes a book entirely focused on the evolution of Chinese lacquer and its use on traditional screens: Coromandel Lacquer Screens.
Blanc De Chine: Divine Images in Porcelain
Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art
The Kingdom of Siam: The Art of Central Thailand, 1350-1800
Uzbek Embroidery
Update 6.22.07
Prices for Hidden Meanings in Chinese Art seem to be all over the place -- from $75 to over $150, depending on where you look. I've seen the book on eBay and on the publisher's site priced under $80.
Pagoda Lamps
I know lately I've had a rash of Pieces-related posts, but this pair of lamps is too fabulous not to share. The pagodas are vintage, painted matte white and used with custom charcoal drum shades. Height, 32"; Cost, $1,985. Visit Pieces for details.
If you love these lamps but need a more budget-friendly alternative, remember having your own lamp made from a found object is always an option. For inspiration, see Guanyin.
Perennial Chic: Suzanne Rheinstein
Above, a wish list find: an exquisite pair of framed, hand-painted panels from an 18th-century screen, available at Hollyhock.
I haven't mentioned decorator Suzanne Rheinstein quite as often as other designers, but it goes without saying that, to me, she is a design guru. Her taste is flawless, and her sense of color amazing. If I lived in L.A., I'd always be at Rheinstein's store, Hollyhock, soaking up her genius. In the current Elle Decor, there are a few small images of her daughter Kate's oh-so-gorgeous June 2006 wedding.

Vizard's Antique Suzani Pillows
Rebecca Vizard is a passionate collector of antique textiles. She travels the world looking for 17th, 18th, and early 19th-century fragments, then brings them home to Locustland Plantation in St. Joseph, Louisiana, where the fabrics become pillows. Recently, Vizard began designing pillows made from antique suzanis.
The pillow shown top is made from a hand-embroidered classic Samarkand suzani, from Uzbekistan. The second, also crafted from an old suzani, is backed with chambray. Prices range from around $200 - $600.
For a much smaller price, around $35-$50, Vizard offers the loveliest six inch Christmas stockings made from antique textiles. These usually become available online in the fall.

Guanyin: Summer Look
Above is an alternate look for the Guanyin lamp described in various posts below. (Here, the current harp is a little too small for the shade.) A guest could actually read by the light emitted from this lighter shade, so it's an interim option while I decide on chair fabric.
Update: Looks like this shade is getting a thumbs-down, up against the black pagoda shade. And I agree, the black is more striking. At least this shows what a difference a shade makes. Now it will be really interesting to see Vanessa's preference in Design 911.
Many people have commented on how quickly Mandarin Antiques made this lamp. If you are in the Atlanta area, I highly recommend them. The customer service is excellent.
Located in Buckhead at 700 Miami Circle, Mandarin offers an endless mix of authentic Chinese antiques, vintage pieces, and more modestly priced reproductions. You can have a lamp custom made from any vase, pot or object you find on the shelves -- or bring in your own piece.
Using one of their objects as a lamp base, prices start at about $240, including the shade and labor, but expect many lamps to cost more. The showroom is open on Sundays, and the atmosphere is friendly and very relaxed. Although, I would not take small children there because the store does have a "you break it, you buy it" policy. Fragile objects costing six and five figures are around, and disaster could strike with one quick turn.

Educators and students participate in groundbreaking STEM initiative exploring deep-sea biology, geology, and archaeology in the Eastern Pacific
(Seattle, WA)-Lindsay Holladay from the Seattle Aquarium has been selected as a 2016 Science Communication Fellow and will sail aboard Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus during its 2016 expedition. Lindsay will join the Corps of Exploration aboard E/V Nautilus in June as they explore the Cascadia Margin to locate a WWII-era wreck, map unknown methane seeps, and explore areas off the Washington and Oregon coast that have never before been seen by human eyes.
Seventeen educators and 22 students from around the world have been selected from a competitive pool of applicants by the Ocean Exploration Trust (OET) to participate at sea during the 2016 Nautilus Exploration Program expedition. OET, a nonprofit founded by Dr. Robert Ballard in 2008, has the mission to explore the ocean, seeking out new discoveries in the fields of geology, biology, maritime history, archaeology, physics and chemistry while pushing the boundaries of STEM education and technological innovation. The selected educators and students hail from schools, universities, after-school programs, science centers, aquaria and nonprofit organizations in 20 states in the US and Australia. They will join the Nautilus Corps of Exploration during sea-going expeditions from May through September in the Eastern Pacific Ocean.
Lindsay says, "I'm thrilled to be part of the team exploring our local Cascadia Margin, the geologically active and mineral-rich zone around our colliding tectonic plates. I hope my role will help bridge viewers from around the world to the cutting-edge science occurring thousands of meters below the surface."
As members of the Corps of Exploration, educators and students will stand watch alongside scientists and engineers, as well as participate in live interactions with shore-based audiences via Nautilus Live, a 24-hour web portal bringing expeditions from the field to future explorers on shore via telepresence technology at www.nautiluslive.org and via social media.
OET promotes science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education around the world using the excitement of exploration and innovation to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. In 2014, OET began targeting its suite of education and outreach programs to specific communities through an exciting new initiative, the Community STEM Program (CSP). The CSP allows partner communities to engage community members in all of the educational programs OET offers, which are designed to guide young students to early career professionals and educators through a series of programs focused on STEM fields and vocations, increasing the impact the programs can have in any individual location. OET's focus on the CSP represents a new approach that forges relationships across community partners with the common goal of increasing STEM literacy and proficiency.
"One of the major goals of our Nautilus Exploration Program is to inspire the next generation of explorers in STEM fields," said OET Vice President of Education, Outreach and Communications Alison Fundis, adding, "We are very excited to provide educators and students with the direct experience of ocean exploration, while allowing them the opportunity to share that experience with their peers around the world."
The 2016 Science Communication Fellowship, an initiative of OET, will bring together 17 formal and informal educators from around the world as a part of the Nautilus Corps of Exploration. Fellows are charged with the responsibility of engaging students and the public in the wonders of ocean exploration and sharing discoveries from the 2016 mission as well as aspects of daily life aboard a working exploration vessel. Fellows receive four days of intensive training at the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography, and then spend two to three weeks aboard E/V Nautilus between the months of May and September as it explores the Eastern Pacific Ocean. An equally important aspect of the program is for fellows to bring the expedition and excitement of ocean exploration back to their home communities after they have returned from sea by incorporating their experience into classroom lesson plans, community presentation events, and through informal educational opportunities.
"We're excited for Lindsay's participation in the Nautilus cruise and even more excited for her to bring what she's learned back to our students and visitors," said Jim Wharton, director of conservation and education at the Seattle Aquarium.
Lindsay will participate in live audio commentary and question-and-answer sessions through the Nautilus Live website (NautilusLive.org) while aboard the ship; she will also engage events and activities upon her return. Global audiences can tune in to the website, Facebook or Instagram at NautilusLive, and on Twitter as @EVNautilus to follow their expedition. **The Seattle Aquarium will host a live interactive program with Lindsay on World Oceans Day, Wednesday, June 8 at 10:30am.
About the Ocean Exploration TrustThe Ocean Exploration Trust was founded in 2008 by Dr. Robert Ballard to explore the ocean, seeking out new discoveries in the fields of geology, biology, maritime history and archaeology while pushing the boundaries of STEM education and technological innovation. The international program is launched from aboard the Exploration Vessel (E/V) Nautilus, offering live exploration to participants on shore and the public via live video, audio and data feeds. The major 2016 expedition and education sponsors are the NOAA Office of Exploration & Research, the Office of Naval Research, NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, the University of Rhode Island, CITGO, and additional private donors.

SEATTLE—A rescued sea turtle undergoing rehabilitation at the Seattle Aquarium became the first nonhuman treated in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber at Virginia Mason Hospital earlier this week when medical experts and marine wildlife veterinarians collaborated in an effort to compress internal gas bubbles that prevent the reptile from diving or remaining under water.
The 70-pound olive ridley sea turtle, named Tucker by aquarium staff who have cared for him since December, is undergoing tests at the Seattle Aquarium this week to determine if hyperbaric therapy—which involved breathing 100 percent oxygen for about 2 ½ hours—corrected his buoyancy problem. The turtle cannot be safely released back into the Pacific Ocean until he is able to dive normally, which is important for him to find food and avoid predators and other threats, such as boats.
While at the Virginia Mason Center for Hyperbaric Medicine on Monday, the 20-year-old turtle was closely monitored by a team of experts that included Seattle Aquarium veterinarian Lesanna Lahner, DVM, MPH, and James Holm, MD, medical director at the Center for Hyperbaric Medicine. Drs. Lahner and Holm, and hyperbaric nurse Alyson Barger, RN, were inside the hyperbaric chamber with Tucker from the start of therapy through completion. The turtle was watched closely with a heart monitor and assisted with breathing via a tube in his airway. He was provided sedation and tolerated the treatment well.
"We are honored that the Seattle Aquarium team contacted us about using hyperbaric oxygen as a possible treatment to help Tucker on his road to recovery," said Dr. Holm, who is board-certified in undersea and hyperbaric medicine and has been a scuba diver for 40 years. "We have treated many scuba divers over the years for a gas bubble disease known as decompression sickness, which is also called 'the bends.' This is the first time we have been asked to assist in the care of a sea turtle, which are excellent divers themselves."
Hyperbaric oxygen has been tested as a treatment for decompression-like sickness in sea turtles, according to a study from Spain published in the October 2014 edition of Diseases of Aquatic Organisms. But this is believed to be the first time the therapy has been used for a sea turtle in the United States with Tucker's specific ailment.
During treatment sessions, the hyperbaric chamber is pressurized with air to about three times the normal atmospheric pressure. Patients breathe 100 percent oxygen, enabling their blood to carry up to 15 times the normal amount of oxygen to organs and tissues. This can help "crush" bubbles, as well as provide high tissue oxygen levels to restore normal tissue function.
In December, Tucker was found stranded and near death on the Oregon Coast far from his usual warm-water Pacific Ocean habitat off Southern California and Mexico. He has been undergoing treatment and rehabilitation at the Seattle Aquarium to correct the effects of severe pneumonia. Hand-fed and nurtured by the aquarium staff, the turtle has regained weight and a normal body temperature. However, a CT (computerized tomography) scan showed gas bubbles may be trapped in his body, making him too buoyant to dive successfully and find food on his own in the wild.
"I am thrilled that Virginia Mason and its amazing team were willing to bring Tucker the sea turtle into the hyperbaric chamber," said Lahner. "Not only will the treatment potentially help him to be released back into the wild, but it has provided us valuable information about the diving physiology of sea turtles as we were able to closely monitor his vitals and blood gases throughout the entire procedure.
"This has been an exciting collaboration of veterinary medicine and human health care providers," she added.
Virginia Mason is the region's leading provider of hyperbaric oxygen treatment for conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness, a potentially life-threatening hazard of scuba diving. Its Level 1, 24-hour hyperbaric medicine program is one of the few in the United States accredited "with distinction" by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society.
In addition to decompression sickness and carbon monoxide poisoning, the Virginia Mason Center for Hyperbaric Medicine treats medical conditions such as diabetic wounds and tissue damaged by radiation during cancer therapy. "Treatment of radiation tissue injury is our most common indication," Dr. Holm said. "The condition requires multiple treatments and has excellent outcomes."
The center provides about 8,000 hours of patient treatment annually. The tube-shaped hyperbaric oxygen chamber, measuring 10 feet wide and 46 feet long, can accommodate as many as 16 human patients at one time.
The Center for Hyperbaric Medicine was established more than 40 years ago and has been in its current location at Virginia Mason Hospital since 2005. The program's medical staff members have published nearly 100 articles about hyperbaric medicine in a variety of medical journals.

SEATTLE—The Seattle Aquarium recently announced the appointment of Brad Rutherford as new chief operating officer (COO). He began work in this newly created role at the Aquarium on February 8.
Rutherford will focus primarily on internal operations of the Aquarium and will report directly to President & CEO Robert W. Davidson. Rutherford brings 25 years of leadership in the private, public and nonprofit sectors, most recently as the executive director of the Snow Leopard Trust, an international wildlife conservation organization. In that role, over 15 years, he built a staff of 64 in seven different countries and managed diverse teams with a broad range of nationalities, cultures and languages—all from his home base in Hansville, Washington.
Other notable highlights from Rutherford's past experience include supporting global rural development programs for Winrock International in Washington, D.C. and working with the Peace Corps in the Central African Republic. Brad holds a master's degree from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins and a B.A. in communication studies from Northwestern University.
"He is a strong manager who believes in our mission and will help us to more effectively carry it out", said Robert Davidson, Seattle Aquarium President & CEO. "In his new role, Rutherford will help manage day-to-day operations of the Aquarium to assure the best practices are followed for animal care and welfare, as well as facilities and operations that impact our human visitors."

SEATTLE—On January 27, the Seattle Aquarium conferred its top awards at its annual Chairman's Dinner to community and scientific leaders who have worked to preserve and protect marine environments both locally and around the world.
Conservation International Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder Peter Seligmann was honored with the 2016 Seattle Aquarium Medal, which is presented each year to an individual whose leadership and lifetime accomplishments reflect the mission of the Seattle Aquarium: Inspiring Conservation of Our Marine Environment.
Peter Seligmann is a passionate, influential advocate who has provided a lifetime of leadership on issues related to global health. A dynamic communicator and thought leader, has been an influential and inspiring voice in conservation for nearly 40 years. He works in partnership with governments, communities and businesses to find solutions to ensure the sustainability of our natural resources. Seligmann began his career in 1976 with The Nature Conservancy, serving as the organization's western region land steward, and later became the director of the California Nature Conservancy. He is currently the chairman and CEO of Conservation International, a global nonprofit organization that he co-founded in 1987. Under his direction, Conservation International has become a cutting-edge leader in valuing and sustainably caring for nature for the well-being of people.
The University of Washington's Aquatic and Fishery Sciences Principal Research Scientist Jeffery R. Cordell received the Seattle Aquarium Conservation Research Award, which honors individuals performing leadership research in the field.
Cordell has been a research scientist at the UW School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences since 1977. His research mainly focuses on understanding how juvenile salmon and the invertebrates they feed on are affected by human development and how degraded habitats can be improved. His current work is focused on salmon habitat along Seattle's central waterfront and is a key element of the ongoing seawall replacement project. Despite the highly altered shoreline, Elliott Bay and downtown Seattle still serve as a migratory corridor and rearing habitat for juvenile salmon, including the threatened chinook species. The need to replace the seawall prompted the City to form a team to focus on habitat enhancements along the central waterfront, and presented a unique opportunity to improve the habitat conditions of the structure. Cordell has led the long-term research, funded by the City of Seattle and Washington State Sea Grant, to design, install and monitor large-scale test panels at three locations along the waterfront. Cordell and his team tested the potential benefits of slopes and crevices along the seawall, exploring how and whether engineered complexity can increase species diversity and abundance. As a result, Seattle will be the first city in the world to incorporate habitat panels into a large expanse of seawall. The city plans to monitor the panels for several years after construction, generating the data needed to design future ecologically beneficial seawalls, both in Puget Sound and around the world.
Immediate Past Chair Randy J. Tinseth presented longtime board member Gini Beck with the Scott S. Patrick Inspirational Award. Named for the late Aquarium board member and Seattle Seahawks executive who served with extraordinary passion, the award annually recognizes the Seattle Aquarium board member whose service best exemplifies the passion, leadership and enthusiasm which characterized Scott Patrick's life and board service.

The con men used the names of entertainers such as Sting, Seal, Gloria Estefan and The Red Hot Chili Peppers for their scheme. They said they represented the artists through a company called Exposure Management.
"Wow, there's all these, you know, high-profile superstars here in this company," said U.S. Postal Inspector Michael DelGiudice, "so if you know it's going to go public, this is a great investment."
That is exactly what Ahmed Awan and Alan Labiner wanted potential investors to think. The problem was that the materials and the businesses were all bogus.
One New York victim says the pitch to invest in exposure management came in a cold call.
"They started off small with a low price and promised it was going to go higher," the victim said. "I have been solicited for every imaginable thing - stocks bonds, sunken treasure, stamps, coins, movie rights - everything."
He lost $47,000 and says the materials he received in the mail lured him in. The 150 victims in the scheme lost almost $7 million. The scammers used the money at strip clubs, restaurants, hotels and other personal expenses.
Awan and Labiner had ties to the financial world before the scam.
"At some point, you know, they just thought they could make more money, you know, scamming people than actually in the industry," DelGiudice said.
Inspectors say if investors checked, they would have found out the men were no longer licensed to solicit clients. Research remains a key.
"Look up the company name. Look up the stock that they are trying to sell you, just so that you know, you cover all your bases to make sure that it's legitimate," DelGiudice said.
Labiner was sentenced to 10 years in prison for his role in the scheme. Awan received a 20-month prison sentence.

Sir.—We read with interest the article by Wright and Christie (Journal 1981;135:134-136) on the potential usefulness of serum γ-glutamyl trans-peptidase (GGTP) levels for the diagnosis of biliary atresia. We would like to describe our experience in this regard.
Twenty infants aged 3 through 12 weeks were admitted with cholestatic jaundice during a six-year period. Serum GGTP levels were determined in all. On laparotomy seven patients proved to have extrahepatic biliary atresia and one intrahepatic biliary atresia with patent extrahepatic ducts. Six had neonatal hepatitis; three underwent diagnostic laparotomy and in three the jaundice spontaneously cleared. Six had α1-antitrypsin deficiency with serum levels ranging from 65 to 130 mg/dL; four had protease inhibitor ZZ and two had

CHICAGO - Every Phillies position player can say he has started a game this season after backup catcher Wil Nieves appeared Saturday in Ryne Sandberg's fifth different lineup in five games. It is clear, less than a week into Sandberg's first full season as manager, that his approach will greatly differ from the previous regime's.
Carlos Ruiz had reached base seven times in his previous 10 plate appearances but sat in favor of Nieves. Third baseman Cody Asche scored four runs on opening day, then was relegated to the bench in the second game. Ryan Howard, long entrenched as the team's cleanup hitter, has occupied the No. 5 spot at times.

Can't say enough good about Rob and Tucker Gunleather. Customer service like this is a rarity in this day and age. Rob made personal contact (calls and email) 3-4 times to answer questions and help me order the right options.
LOVE this holster and am a very happy customer.
Thanks Rob!!!!

This is the best iwb holster for 1911 type weapons That I have ever seen.
Posted by Ken Neal on 24th Mar 2015
I have used most all types of holsters during the last 45 years, hundreds of them. Ordered IWB for MP9c and like Robs belts & other holsters I've gotten from Tucker before this one is outstanding. Easy to use, adjusts wonderfully and smooth on the draw. I no longer purchase other brands... Tucker only!
Posted by Mark on 10th Nov 2014
This is my second holster from Tucker and my first IWB. After buying my first holster from Tucker (HF-1) and seeing the quality of their work I decided to try one of their IWB holsters, the Secret Strike Kydex. I have tried a few IWB holsters but never found one that I found comfortable enough for daily wear for my XD 40. This holster was different; it was very comfortable and fit my gun well. I did add the additional leather lining to the holster and I am very glad I did. The craftsmanship in their products is outstanding and I cannot wait for my next purchase.
Posted by Mike on 23rd Aug 2014
This holster is made with the highest quality craftsmanship. The second leather lined kydex holster that I have purchased, both of which are from Tucker Gunleather. Fully adjustable for degree of cant depending on what you're concealing. High quality belt clips and several types to choose from.
Posted by J on 8th Aug 2014
Got one for my M&P 9c, have had it for a while now, and absolutely love it. Ordered it with the leather lining, and I believe it has helped minimize holster wear on the finish of my pistol. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
Posted by Unknown on 27th Jul 2014
Great fit for my Glock 19 pistol. this is a comfortable holster for inside the waistband carry. I ordered the leather lining. very quiet draw. Adjustment s are easy with the supplied Allen wrench. This is the second holster that I bought from Tucker Leather , the first for my 1911-a1. these are comfortable enough that even carrying the heavy 1911-a1 is great.
Posted by Unknown on 6th Jul 2014
I wanted to try a Kydex IWB holster having used a leather one for a while. I thought this holster would be thinner and less bulky than leather however that did not turn out to be the case. This holster just doesn't work well for me. My commander is a heavy all steel gun. I am sure this holster is great for other weapons or body types it just does not work for me and I will unfortunately be returning it for a refund.
Posted by Mike Farrell on 2nd Apr 2014
Very quick delivery and service.
Good quality and good fit. I will be buying more from them.
Posted by alex delvecchio on 2nd Mar 2014
Love this product and is my edc for my kimber ultra covert. Sturdy, adjustable, protects the finish. Could not ask for a better holster. Thanks a bunch
