U.S. Press Kit for FIVB World Grand Prix
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 12, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team has made a slight adjust to its roster for the second preliminary weekend of the FIVB World Grand Prix taking place Aug. 13-15 at Bangkok, Thailand.
U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) has added outside hitter and three-time Olympian Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) to the Pool D roster and made no other player personnel changes. Each team can carry up to 14 players per weekend and designate 12 players to suit up prior to each match. Last week Team USA competed with a 13-player roster at Gdynia, Poland, and finished with a 1-2 record and three points. The Americans are currently in eighth place in the 12-team annual event that has a total of nine preliminary round matches over the course of three weekends before the top five teams plus host country compete in the Final Round Aug. 25-29 at Ningbo, China.
In the second weekend, the Americans will challenge sixth-place Italy (2-1) on Aug. 13, host 11th-place Thailand (0-3) on Aug. 14 and ninth-place Puerto Rico (1-2) on Aug. 15.
Tom, who was named as the Best Scorer at the 2008 Olympic Games in which Team USA finished with the silver medal, took the 2009 campaign off from international competition with the U.S. squad. She played this past winter in the prestigious Italian Serie A league with Asystel Volley Novara and with Hisamitsu Springs of the Japan V-League after the 2008 Olympics. Tom, 29, also competed for the U.S. at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney and the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
Tom joins a U.S. roster that has had some individual standout performers from a young crew playing in their first FIVB World Grand Prix this summer. After the first weekend of matches, opposite Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) led Team USA in scoring all three matches ranks third overall in the tournament in scoring with 60 points (48 kills, 11 blocks, 1 ace) in 12 sets for a 5.00 scoring average. Prior to last weekend, she had never played in an official international match for the U.S. Hooker also ranks 10th in Best Spiker with a 40.68 kill percent (40.68). Outside hitter Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.), who is playing in her third tournament this season for the U.S., ranks seventh in scoring in the event with 44 points (35 kills, 8 blocks, 1 ace) for a 3.67 scoring average.
Setter Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.), playing in just her second tournament with the U.S. Women's National Team, is the top setter in the tournament after the first weekend with 109 running sets on 296 total attempts for a 9.08 average per set. Hooker and Glass have started every set of the tournament except for the very first. Hodge, Glass and Hooker were part of the 2009 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship match and are quickly gaining international experience. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) ranks fourth in the Best Blocker category with a 1.08 block average on 13 total blocks. She also is 10th in scoring with her 41 points (28 kills, 13 blocks and 0 aces), which is a 3.42 scoring average. Akinradewo has a 51.9 kill percent, which would rank atop the FIVB list in Best Blocker if she had enough kills (15 percent of team's total).
The 14-player U.S. roster for Thailand has outside hitters Tom, Hodge, Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) and Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.). Opposites are Hooker, two-time Olympian Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) and Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio). Middle blockers are Akinradewo, three-time Olympian Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) and 2008 Olympian Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.). Setters leading the offense are Glass and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.). Liberos are three-time Olympian Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) and Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.).

Speer: Motel purchase sound decision for city
I commend Alpena Municipal Council for considering public expansion of the waterfront.
This week city officials shared they are close to finalizing a deal to acquire the Beach Motel along US-23 South, right behind Starlite Beach. Once acquired, the motel would be razed – providing yet more public view of the beach and waterfront to the public.
As is so often the case in such situations, the decision was not necessarily an easy one.
Council had to weigh the advantage of spending money for the acquisition and gaining extra access to the water, versus the reality of a tight budget and dwindling financial assistance coming their way from Lansing.
At least two members -Mayor Matt Waligora and Councilman Mike Nowak – admitted to initially being skeptical about the purchase, but after further research, changed their minds.
"I wasn't a huge fan of the purchase from the beginning, but I spent some time down in that area and there really will be a noticeable difference in the view of the park and beachfront," Waligora told council Monday. "When I envisioned what it would look like without it, that is what kind of sold me on the idea."
The same was true of Nowak.
"I wasn't (initially) interested in the purchase, but I am interested in continuing to developing the waterfront," he said. "… It will make the beach area that much nicer."
I appreciate both men's honesty in sharing those impressions. Each started with a perspective but kept open-minded on the subject, and each ultimately changed his opinion after gathering more input and understanding.
As I see it, that is democracy working at its very best.
Michigan residents are blessed to have more public access to land and water than residents in most states. Thanks to strong planning and vision by our ancestors, we can enjoy those properties in just about every corner of the state.
Alpena city officials long have tried to do their part as well in making land accessible for everyone. Sometimes they have been successful in acquiring property, sometimes not. Sometimes they have pursued opportunities, sometimes not.
I like the fact all of us are one step closer today to having even more of a view of Thunder Bay as we drive by Starlite Beach in the future.
I like that vision. I like that legacy they are leaving for years after each has left office.
Tough decisions never are easy. I believe in this instance, council is making the right call.
At first I was troubled by the number of private businesses that were blocking off their parking areas on the Fourth.
However, after stopping at one business Friday morning that left open its parking to the public on the Fourth, I believe now I understand. The parking lot was riddled with litter and remnants of fireworks.
Alpena puts on the best Fourth of July event anywhere, but all of us need to do our part to keep it that way. Enjoy activities, but pick up after yourself when they're over.
Let's keep Alpena the sanctuary of the Great Lakes.

Like all toucan species, Ramphastos toco nests in cavities high in the forest trees. It favors holes that are barely wide enough for it to fit and it often returns to the same hole for several years. The breeding season of this bird varies with the region. It typically lays 2-4 pure white eggs. Both parents share the duties of nesting. In order to fit within the confines of the small nesting cavity, the parents flex their long tails forward over their backs. Ramphastos toco only has one clutch per year. This species gives birth to altricial young. The eggs hatch after 16 to 20 days (Phoenix Zoo, 1995). When the young hatch, they are naked and blind. At first, they do not look like toucans at all. Their lower bill projects beyond the tip of the upper and the soft tongue completely fills the bill cavity. The bill gradually grows to adult proportions. The development of the young is very slow. The eyes open at 3 weeks and the bill does not reach full size and coloring until several months later. Other distinctive features of the young are the specialized pads on their heels that are used as a form of protection against the rough floor of the nest. The pads remain until the young fledge and completely disappear by the time they are adults. The young are cared for by both parents until they leave the nest at 6 weeks. The life span of this bird is approximately ten years (Whitfield, 1988).
Key Reproductive Features: Iteroparous; Gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); Sexual; Oviparous

ArtScapades: Masters of Rococo
Category: Speakers & Lecture Series
Location: Adrian Lamb Room
ArtScapades, a five-part art lecture program made possible through a sponsorship from the Friends of the New Canaan Library, concludes on Monday, May 13, with Part 5: "Masters of Rococo." The lecture will take place at 7 p.m. in the Adrian Lamb Room.
"Masters of Rococo" will look at the lighter side of 18th century High Baroque art, leaving the art world at the dawn of the 19th century. This final lecture includes works by Watteau, Fragonard, Boucher, Hogarth, Gainsborough, and Reynolds.
Robin Hoffman and Jodi Stiffelman of ArtScapades will moderate the series. They began teaching art appreciation in 1998 in the New Canaan public school system. In 2009, they began sharing their knowledge with adults who wanted to learn the basics of art to make museum trips more enjoyable. The New Canaan Library is welcoming them back for a fourth time.

City can sell coastal development rights
By JODIE TILLMAN
Published April 18, 2007
NEW PORT RICHEY -Three years ago, Jutta Shaikh approached city officials with a problem: She wanted to redevelop her Ramada Inn into waterfront condominiums, but could not get the property approved for residential use.
That's because the U.S. 19 motel is located in the "coastal high-hazard area." State law requires cities to limit the number of people living in such areas, meaning commercial properties such as the Ramada Inn can't simply be rezoned for condos or homes.
So officials devised an unusual program that allows the city to relinquish its rights to develop residential units on publicly owned land and sell those rights to private property owners. The City Council approved an ordinance Tuesday evening that outlines how the program would work.
But now it's unclear whether the Ramada Inn project - which prompted the ordinance, nearly three years of work by city officials and $31,000 in consultant fees to potentially shift units from a $1.5-million piece of city property - will get built.
Even though the Ramada Inn property has enviable water access along the Pithlachascotee River, motel lawyer Roland Waller said his clients now face the prospect of a less-profitable condo market. He said the owners also feel the ordinance demands too much of developers - including that they line up financing - before they are guaranteed the building rights.
"I think the concept is great, but the devil is in the details," he said Tuesday, adding his clients "have kind of lost their appetite at this point."
City planner Lisa Fierce said the intent is to protect the city, which has a limited number of development rights - about 300 units - to sell. Waller said the Ramada owners were originally interested in 110 units.
Before the city gives up these rights, Fierce said, officials want to make sure the developers who buy them have the financing to see the project through.
Under the ordinance passed Tuesday, the city will sever the development rights to properties it owns within the coastal high-hazard area. The sales price for each potential unit would be based on the amount the city paid for the land.
The largest city-owned property within the coastal high-hazard area is an undeveloped 10-acre tract near Gulf Harbors. The city bought it in 2005 for $1.5-million, partly with an eye toward selling the development rights.
Based on the tract's density, the price tag for buying the right to develop one unit from that property would cost about $5,000, plus the consumer price index, said City Manager Scott Miller.
In addition to staff time spent on the project, the city also hired Tallahassee's CPG Consulting. Since September 2005, the city has paid CPG nearly $31,000 for its work on this program, said finance director Rick Snyder.
City Council member Ginny Miller said she expects other property owners along U.S. 19, especially the older motels, will consider the program as the market improves. If the Ramada Inn project moves along, she said, it would help even more.
The city has long talked about cleaning up the U.S. 19 strip, particularly the transient motels that so often require police attention. This program, she said, could give those motel owners an incentive to redevelop.
"If the Ramada is redeveloped, it's going to spur a lot of things," said Miller. "It really could change a lot of things along U.S. 19."

Give These Men A Hand
To The Reader's Forum:
As we come to the end of what many call the "tourist season" in Bemus Point, there are many folks who should be recognized for helping to make the village a destination place in Chautauqua County. Two of those people are the custodians of the village – Jerry Adams and Bill Reynolds. These men spend untold hours cleaning up after the crowds, manicuring our village lawns, and, keeping Bemus a village of which we can all be proud.
Absent the crowds of summer, their work will continue throughout the fall leaf removal season and the sidewalk snow removal of winter until our Camelot returns again next summer.
If you see these men working in Bemus, please give them a wave of the hand or a tip of your hat. They certainly deserve it.

i have seen and eaten over cooked bottoms on all type wood ovens,imported as well as domestic.it realy depends on how much use your floor is getting. what i mean on a busy night a oven might run at 950 floor when it is full the pies cook great.once it slows that high temp is going to heat your floor too hot and the bottoms will burn,don't care what the floor is made of. i have a forno bravo dome with a refractory floor that i bought from a local supplier.it has nights where it cooks all pizzas perfectly then nights where you are cooking off of the floor a lot. i have seen this done at many well know Neapolitan pizzerias,so it is inherent to all wood ovens.I'm sure there is an advantage to the special floor material but they are not magic you still have to cook it.
Imentioned this topic back in 2011 here http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,15250.0.htmlI am all over the place withthe bottoms 2 different ovens Hot day, cool day, overfermented ...prefer #3 or 4 ish pick one John
Would you guys mind telling me the hydration and floor temps on those pies, as well as approx cook times?Thanks,John K
Dear John, per your request, I post hereunder the only underskirt pictures of my recent pizzas that I have. In your PM, you kindly asked for pictures of my own pizza underskirts; however, you asked us, above, to post pictures of "ideal undercarriages". Hence, I include the last two pictures, below, which depict pizza underskirts by Mr. Ciro Salvo. In passing, I must mention that dear Craig's underskirts, of which you will find plenty of pictures in his thread, are outstanding. Good day!Omid
Can't beat a Craig pie....

Re: Yoko's influences on John

First of all, really enjoying this debate - lots of interesting stuff being said.
1) I agree that Paul rarely repeats the same trick two albums running (Speed of Sound, POP, and Off The Ground are the only ones I think), and that this is one of the best things about his solo career.
2) For me, experimenting with different genres isn't "sonic experimentation" - it's genre experimentation. I don't think that the White Album, Rev 9 aside, is sonically experimental, because most of the sounds had been heard before. Four men covering that breadth of musical ground is a fantastic achievement, but there isn't "sonic experimentation" going on there. Tomorrow Never Knows, Day In The Life, Like A Rolling Stone, What I'd Say - these are sonic revolutions.
Ram On is the only track on Ram for me that is sonically original - the ukelele - the rest is wide-ranging, but not what you could call sonically experimental. Morse Moose is really just a bass hook - very disco influenced.
3) I Don't Want To Be A Soldier - now that's a pretty original, far-out sound in my opinion. And just as Paul was hung up about not releasing his more avant-garde material, John was embarrassed by his softer, more eclectic side.
4) I think you over-play Paul's influence on JL's Pepper-era songs. I'd say that LSD and George Martin were larger influences on him in that period. Paul showed everyone how to do tape loops etc, but LSD convinced John about the vitality of psychadelic sounds, just as heroin's influence made him reject the whole era later on. And let's not forget it was George Martin who did all the cutting up of Strawberry Fields, scored the cellos in that and Walrus - John told him on Mr Kite that he wanted to "smell the sawdust" and then pretty much left him to it.
To conclude, I guess what I'm trying to say is that Paul was more eclectic in his tastes than John, believed in more types of music than just rock n' roll. But this doesn't mean that he was more "sonically experimental", just that he could hop between genres and instruments with ease and confidence.
Let me begin, after taking JJS to task yesterday for the hubris involved in choosing to elevate his opinions to fact and negate others opinions to simply being mistaken in the face of the facts of his feelings. This IS an interesting subject, AND many Macca folk tend to be a bit touchy about this since, well Mac has been taken to task so hard over so many years about being mainstream, boring, dead in the water as a solo artist, the White & safe Beatle, etc., etc. ... none of any of which do I believe. So whether I agree or disagree with either of you, these are very broad subjects.
James 1985 I think it is largely a matter of semantics as to whether or not something is sonically experimental or merely genre hopping. I don't think something has to be revolutionary sonically, to be pushing an envelope. And JJS I also don't agree that odd time signatures & unusual chords make up all mainstream guitar rock from Stones to Bon Jovi. I'd say James1985 definition of what is sonic experimentation is far too narrow for me, while JJS's definition of what mainstream guitar rock is is far too broad for me. No one here is "right" or "wrong" about these things, this is just my observations about your opinions.
I did poach that James1985 post from the Yoko page to hit a few points too...
1. I'd certainly agree that Psychedelics & George Martin were at least as big an influence on Lennon during that era as McCartney was, I wouldn't say that heroin was what lead him away from that...I think it was more the heroin was a by product of Lennon caving into the pain & pressure that came with divorcing Cynthia, marrying Yoko & growing away from The Beatles, etc.. There were so many factors & such rapid change that his consciousness altering experimentation's chose to genre hop in a rough way. Sadly his Psychedelic use wasn't under the guidance of a trained Shaman. It was wild, productive but also unpredictable & volatile with it being so undisciplined. His lack of Spiritual guidance, or lack of his willingness to continue to search for such guidance, led him to have opened Pandora's box & started down a path with many potential pitfalls...of course the fact that he was willing to eventually reconcile with so much Spiritually speaks volumes about the great depth of his character.
2. As I said Lennon tended to be very off the cuff in interviews, and yes I know he made comments about simply being only into old simple R'n'R- put a backbeat behind it, & say what you mean & there you go...I know, but the thing is this didn't pan out if you take a look at all the different kinds of songs he worked with over the course of The Beatles & his solo work. To differentiate himself from McCartney he may have complained about the pretentiousness & pointlessness of Pepper & psychedelia or whined about Paul's candy ass fruity songs (Maxwell & Ob-la-di), but Lennon was just over touting POB and ignoring his own moves in those directions...as was often his M.O.- he'd napalm whatever past his wasn't in in the moment & inflate where & what he was in his eyes at the time. Such was his nature...taking him at his word is dangerous (as is doing so with anyone), examining a text for truth, or lack thereof, is always a wise idea. Maybe you would agree with him...I think he overstated things enormously.

Clippers season to end in Toledo
The Columbus Dispatch - September 03, 2012 04:08 PM
The Clippers ended th 2012 season with a 4-3 win over the Toledo Mud Hens today in Fifth Third Field.
Columbus, the two-time defending International League and Triple-A National champions, finished second to Indianapolis in the IL West Division and didn't make the playoffs for the first time since 2009.
The coaching staff and players will go their separate ways at game's end. A few Clippers can look forward to playing the rest of the month with the Cleveland Indians. Second baseman Cord Phelps, jack-of-all-trades Vinny Rottino, reliever Scott Maine and starting pitcher David Huff all received word following the game that the Indians had called them up.
Columbus manager Mike Sarbaugh is headed home to Shillington, Pa., after the game for a 10-day break. He will join the Indians for the final portion of the season.
Third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall (right forearm) iplayed a second straight injury rehab game with the Clippers. He was 0 for 4 as the DH in this game and will transfer to double-A Akron for the Eastern League playoffs. He could be ready to return to the Indians after a couple of games there.
Former Clipper pitcher Carlos Carrasco (right elbow) will see him in Akron. He is pitching one inning for the Aeros in his first rehab appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery last year.
In the game, the Clippers built a 3-0 lead through five innings behind the pitching of Cole Cook. Jared Goedert had an RBI single in the first and Luke Carlin delivered a two-run double in the fourth inning.
The Mud Hens chipped away against the Columbus bullpen after Cook left. Ben Guez hit a home run off Huff in the sixth to break up the shutout. Toledo solo runs off Matt Langwell in the seventh and eighth to tie the game at 3-3.
The Clippers rallied in the ninth. Carlin singled and went to second on an Aaron Cunningham sacrifice bunt. Tim Fedroff followed with an RBI single to drive in the winning run. Dan Wheeler pitched the ninth to earn the save.

Occupational Therapy Assistant
Giving back Independence and Hope
Occupational Therapy uses meaningful and purposeful activities and occupations to promote health and independence. Under the supervision of a licensed occupational therapist (OT), the occupational therapy assistant (OTA) works directly with individuals, families, groups and communities to facilitate health and well-being through engagement in meaningful activities and occupations. In addition to direct patient care, occupational therapy practitioners are involved in addressing the impact of social, political and environmental factors that contribute to occupational deprivation.
In this program, students learn to analyze how the person (client), their environment (home, support systems, etc.) and their occupations (roles, tasks) interrelate and effect health, wellness and every day functioning. The goal of the program is to graduate competent professionals who use clinical reasoning to provide occupational therapy services that are client centered, occupation based, and evidence based. Graduates from this program are skilled at establishing therapeutic relationships and have a strong appreciation of the importance of community service.
The OTA Program is in the Health and Natural Science building located at 1109 W. Panola Street; and is operated under the guidance of the American Occupational Therapy Association. The program consists of five academic semesters and two, eight-week Level II fieldwork experiences that must be completed within 18 months following the completion of academic courses. The curriculum ensures a balance of theoretical and technical courses as well as supervised application of skills in area health care facilities. Upon successful completion of the program, the student is awarded an Associate of Applied Science degree.
The OTA curriculum is taught by seasoned occupational therapy practitioners who are experienced in a variety of settings. OTA faculty specialize in adult education techniques that emphasize hands-on learning, mentorship, meaningful and job-relevant assignments and the use of technology to enhance instruction.

Alternative Income Cheapies
Before moving on to fresh topics and kicking over rocks in the corners of the market, I want to address one more market segment where I have found a few stocks to buy. The alternative-income, high-yield stocks have long been a favorite of mine.
I have found that a collection of higher-yielding, traditional real estate investment trusts, mortgage-backed REITs, commercial real estate finance companies and business development companies have delivered outstanding long-term returns. The caveat is that I would move even slower and stay smaller than usual with these securities.
The alternative-income stocks usually provide plenty of bumps and bounces that allow me to add to my positions at lower prices. There will be stock offerings that depress the price and dividend cuts and changes that move the stock prices around quite a bit.
As I wrote in a recent piece on income investing, the idea here is not to have a concentrated portfolio but to buy a lot of them and add a little when they are cheaper. It is also important only to buy these when they trade below net asset value.
This article originally appeared on March 15, 2013 on RealMoney. To read more content like this + see inside Jim Cramer's $3 Million portfolio for FREE Click Here NOW.
Most of these have rallied so far this year and pickings are a little slim. If I were putting a new portfolio together today, I would start with Annaly Capital
The Federal Reserve's mortgage buying and low-rate policy limits new opportunities for the mortgage REITs, but this M-REIT has done a good job of negotiating differing environments and I see no reason this time will be different. Again, I would not be a pig here, but just buy a little with the idea of adding lower.
I would buy a little ARMOUR Residential

By Judy Sedbrook, Colorado Master GardenerSM , Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Denver
The Daring Jumping Spider is commonly found in gardens and homes along the Front Range. In the garden they can be found on tree trunks, fallen leaves and in ground debris. Entering homes in search of prey, they are often seen near windowsills and doorjambs.
Daring jumping spiders are large, usually growing to about ¾-inch. Their bodies are stocky, black or brown, and hairy. The abdomen is marked with a white crossband and several grey or white spots. The chelicerae are a noticeable metallic green. The name "Jumping" spider comes from the behavior of the male, who "jumps" during mating if the female approaches too quickly.
These spiders like sunshine and do their hunting during the day. They walk with an irregular gait and leap on their prey. Their excellent eyesight aids them in stalking prey, and their large appetites make them a beneficial resident of the garden. Even though they do not spin webs, jumping spiders can always be seen attached to a line of silk that protects them from falling should they miss their prey. The female uses this silk to make a retreat where she produces her egg sac and tends to it until the spiderlings hatch and disperse.
Although scary looking, these spiders are non-poisonous and are not harmful to humans.

Planting Fields Foundation opens its new spring exhibition, Fabulous Interiors by Elsie de Wolfe and Charles Duveen, 1915 -1945, on Saturday, March 29th at Coe Hall, open every day 11:30am - 3:30pm, through September 30th.
Elsie de Wolfe (1865-1950) and Charles Duveen were two of the most successful interior designers of the first half of the twentieth century, they are a study in contrast. De Wolfe was one of the very first professional women decorators in the U.S. Her career, which began in 1905 two years before the New York School of Fine and Applied Arts even began teaching interior decoration, is legendary. She was an actress who changed careers and had a passion for French 18th century rooms. Her work rejected dark Victorian interiors in favor of light reflecting French classical-revival rooms. De Wolfe was prolific and her imaginative designs had a powerful influence on glamorous American homes throughout much of the 20th century.
At Planting Fields her gorgeous 1915 tea house in the Italian Garden is a rare surviving example of her finest work. Apart from old photographs very little of Elsie de Wolfe's work survives, which makes the tea house extremely rare and historically important because its trellis interior, utterly distinctive of her French eighteenth-century revival style, survives with all its original furniture and fittings. Its gorgeous Fragonard-like murals by Everett Shinn (signed and dated 1915) glow with brilliant colors against the blue-green trellis ceiling, and the room's furniture is exquisitely painted by Shinn with garlands of flowers. Still in the tea house today are its six original wrought iron electric light fixtures made to look like bouquets of flowers painted in naturalistic colors. Henry Joyce, executive director of Planting Fields Foundation, and the co-curator of the exhibition, writes that "The tea house room is a masterpiece of de Wolfe's most creative interior design. Despite its diminutive scale it is one of Planting Fields' great treasures". This year between March 29th and Sept 30th, during the time of the exhibition's run, the tea house will be open every day from 12:30-2:00pm, with free admission.
The exhibition explores the rarefied world of fine interiors by two firms whose styles of design were very different. Elsie De Wolfe was committed to a vocabulary that was based on high-style French interiors of the eighteenth century, with a focus on light reflected by mirrors and enhanced by painted walls and furniture. It was de Wolfe who made the use of beautifully printed and colored floral chintzes and toiles de rigueur for curtains and upholstery. Very importantly, Elsie de Wolfe made the interior design profession one where women could flourish. She herself built on the models of both Candice Wheeler (1827-1923) and Edith Wharton (1862-1937) who were, in different ways, successful forerunners in the world of decorating. In the twentieth century de Wolfe firmly established a place for ambitious interior designers to succeed. Her business grew rapidly after her work for the Colony Club which opened in 1907. Many club members (all of whom were well-to-do women) were out-of-towners and gave de Wolfe commissions as far away as the Midwest and California. She began to make a lot of money and opened a bigger office and showroom on 5th Avenue. In 1910 she and Elizabeth Marbury (the theatrical agent with whom she lived for 25 years) bought a fine house on East 55th street which de Wolfe decorated and published. She was now a star; she gave lectures on decorating which were turned into a best-selling book, The House of GoodTaste (1913) ghost written by journalist Ruby Ross Wood. Wood went on to be a highly successful interior designer in her own right, influenced by the de Wolfe look. There grew to be a whole raft of mainly women decorators working successfully in New York City between about 1920 and 1960, who were to a large degree influenced by Elsie de Wolfe. Among them, in addition to Ruby Ross Wood, were Nancy McClelland, Dorothy Draper, Francis Elkins, Rose Cummings, Sister Parish and the Thedlow firm (Lottie Handy, Theresa Chalmers and Edna de Frise) who worked at Coe Hall in 1928 for the third Mrs. Coe, Caroline (after Mai Coe died in 1924). They worked here again in the 1950s decorating a new residence, the Manor House, with elegant French inspired rooms, where Caroline moved after her husband's death in 1955.
After World War I, Elsie de Wolfe lived at her Versailles house, or her apartment in Paris for at least half of every year where she entertained European high society and Americans abroad, including Cole Porter, whose first musical comedy (1914) de Wolfe had designed sets for, and the future Duchess of Windsor who was a close friend and client, along with the Prince of Wales. Immersed in the French beau monde de Wolfe's interiors began to reflect a contemporary chic that she saw about her in Paris, which until World War II was the international center of new art and design. She began using clear bright colors instead of her earlier more muted palette. She started to use leopard and zebra printed fabrics mixed in with her habitual floral chintzes, along with luxurious fur rugs and throws. There was just a hint of fashionable art deco in her work of the 1920s; more sparkle in polished metal surfaces, more mirrored glass for walls than twenty years earlier.
In 1936, because of her brother's mismanagement she was forced to close her business, Elsie de Wolfe, Inc. and declare bankruptcy (none of her archives survive). She spent the war years in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, in a house she named "After All" which she decorated, using her famous end-of-career black and white motif, with the help of the young designer Tony Duquette. She helped launch his extraordinary career. In 1946 she returned to her Versailles house and died four years later.
Charles Duveen's father, Joel Joseph, and his uncle, Henry had been in the works of art and interior design business since the 1870s and by 1900 had become the internationally famous firm, the Duveen Brothers with galleries in Paris, London and New York. After Joel's death in 1909, the eldest of his twelve children, Joseph (later Lord Duveen of Millbank) led the firm in a new direction. They disposed of their general business in interior design and devoted themselves to selling extremely fine works of art. It was then that Charles created his own independent antiques and interior design business. With the agreement that Charles would not use the Duveen name, Joseph paid him an annual fee, hence the name Charles of London or C.J. Charles. His business in New York and London flourished for over thirty years. His rooms at Coe Hall from the early 1920s, are some of his best surviving work.
Charles Duveen, brother of the famous art dealer Lord Duveen of Millbank, is credited with making the Tudor style of dark paneled rooms a prevalent taste in expensive houses on both sides of the Atlantic, using oak furniture. It is a vocabulary based on the formal court interiors and state reception rooms of 16th century English monarchs, a more masculine than feminine style of work.
Apart from Coe Hall's architects, Walker & Gillette, Charles Duveen, as head of his antiques business, did more to shape the style of the rooms than any other person. By the 1880s his antique dealer family, who were Jewish and Dutch, had created the famous art dealer and decorating business, the Duveen Brothers of Paris, London and New York. At Coe Hall, his firm, Charles of London, supplied roughly 80% of the furnishing. There were also over twenty established antique dealers who also sold furniture to Mr. Coe. But today in the archive room at Coe Hall there are a limited number of bills or letters between 1920 and 1923 for each of those firms, but for Charles of London there are hundreds. He supplied over four hundred decorative art objects, including light fixtures, tapestries, tables, chairs, cupboards, beds and even china and linens. Mr. Duveen's correspondence with William R. Coe is mostly cordial, though there are some disagreements about costs. In 1923 Mr. Coe wrote to Frank Partridge, one of his London antique dealers, that Charles Duveen "had been responsible for a great deal of the decoration and furnishing of my house and I have paid him an enormous amount of money." Although the Coe Hall archives might not be complete, the Charles of London invoices that are extant for all the artifacts bought for the house add up to about $450,000. Additionally, Mr. Coe spent a total of roughly $75,000 (today about $900,000) in payment to other antique dealers, including Jacques Seligmann et Fils, Stair & Andrew, Lenygon & Morant, J. Rochelle Thomas, Frank Partridge, and French &Co.
By 1920 the rather conservative Tudor or Elizabethan style of room decoration was a taste that had been established for over twenty-five years, both in England and the United States, where it had been widely promoted in books and magazines. In 1920 Charles Duveen was very successful; he lived in New York City, had a house in Hastings-on-Hudson, where he sailed on the river, and a house in England. He ran a large showroom in mid-town Manhattan where his antique and interior design business was highly regarded (even if a little old fashioned compared with the lighter touch of Elsie de Wolfe's newer design successes).
Mr. and Mrs. Coe were intensively involved with the building and decoration of Coe Hall. They often asked for furnishings and paintings to be delivered pending approval; in September 1921 Mr. Coe wrote to the Paris dealer Germain Seligmann about a tapestry that was at Coe Hall on approval, asking that it be exchanged because, "it has been hung and it looks very dead in the house." Similar issues arose from time to time with paintings. Mrs. Coe had the seat furniture, today in the reception room, delivered, also owned by Seligmanns, to see if it would work well in the room, it did, and they bought the suite. The curtains for her bedroom were made from fabric that she had in hand and passed on to Charles of London to be sewn up. Curator at Coe Hall, Gwendolyn L. Smith, who is co-curator of the exhibition, writes that, "these kinds of details recorded in the archives, of which there are many more, enable us to recreate the rich and fascinating history about the building and decoration of Coe Hall, one of the few great surviving mansions on Long Island". More of this story is told in our new exhibition, with rare and fascinating artifacts kindly loaned from descendants of Charles Duveen. It opens at Coe Hall on Saturday March 29th (Members Preview Friday March 28th 5:30-7:30pm) and runs through September 30th.

Five Oversold Stocks: One Is A Strong Buy, One Is A Lotto Ticket
Polycom (PLCM)
Background: Polycom provides standards-based unified communications (UC) solutions.
52-Week Range: $7.45 to $22.34
Book Value: $8.03
Price To Book: 1.3
Shares are slowly but steadily climbing in the last 30 days, up 3% since about a month ago. Longer term, the shares have sold off and present a bargain for value seekers. The company is debt-free, earned about 32 cents in the last year, and is expected to see an increase for profit and revenue next year.Best of all, the shares are on sale, trading about 20% below the 200-day moving average. I believe the moving average will get tested soon. Other than the key moving average, my technical analyst on the chart is bullish.
Seventeen out of 18 analysts are now rendering a hold recommendation. One recommends this as a buy, and no analysts recommend selling.
The average analyst target price for Polycom is $10.46.
The current proportion sold short based on the float is 8.2%, and I find this much interest by short sellers worth looking at in more depth. Short-sellers are the smart money, but they don't always get it right. I think they have it wrong this time. PMCS Revenue Quarterly data by YCharts

I think it's sad that Colt pretty much has shown he can throw down field.
granted, I'm not sold on him as a Starting QB, but for the love of GOD HAND HIM THE KEYS.
You've got absolutely nothing to lose at this point. What's the worst that happens? The Browns lose and get a top 5 pick?

Don't worry ... I don't want to "unload" on you.
But now I am very curious - which books of the Bible do you accept as the Word of God? Any of them?
Here's the verse you wanted me to read:
Revelation 2:2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:I take it that you are saying that this verse applies to the Apostle Paul. If so, do you have any evidence to support that idea?

Although from many points of view it is logical for Hewlett-Packard to spin off its personal computer business unit and cease development of webOS operating system and gadgets, financial analysts and market observers condemn HP for the decision. So does the market.
At press time on Friday HP's stock dropped by whopping 20%, which means that stakeholders lost over $12 billion of value in one day after the announcement of the decision to spin off or sell the PC business unit in a bid to concentrate on other businesses and improve profit margins. Financial analysts believe that HP acquired its new Autonomy division to boost its cloud initiative for a too high price and at a wrong timing.
"HP may have eroded what remained of Wall Street's confidence in the company and its strategy with a dramatically lower financial outlook, a decision to cease all webOS devices (including the TouchPad) a mere 48 days after the launch, a decision to seek strategic alternatives for its PSG business (aka the #1 PC business in the world), and the seemingly overly expensive acquisition of Autonomy (cue the irony), said Richard Kugele, an analyst with Needham, reports Forbes web-site.
"While we continue to believe HP holds several valuable assets, we believe they will trade at a discount owing to management's inability to deliver consistent strategic and financial messaging and results," wrote Shannon Cross, an analyst with Cross Research.
"We are directionally positive on the shift to high-growth, high-margin business but this transformation is proving expensive, protracted and includes significant integration risk," said Jayson Noland with Baird.
"We like the move towards software/cloud, but we believe the price is full and the sharp price decline reaction is what you could expect. We believe HP felt compelled to act and a large software purchase was what mgmt felt most comfortable with. We believe these decisions are necessary and likely to prove shrewd in the future," wrote Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co., reports Barrons.
"Margins in HPQ's most profitable segments continue to come under pressure, the services business is taking longer to turn around, and there may be better current uses of cash than acquiring Autonomy, given HPQ's depressed share price," Avi Silver of CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.
Robert Cihra, Caris & Co.: Reiterates a "Below Average" rating on the shares, and cuts his price target to $30 from $38. "we CONTINUE to believe HPQ faces multiple structural headwinds that require tough fixes but without a lot of good options and nowhere near the tool-belt IBM (2*/Above Average) had when it pioneered such a path. We take at least some comfort in mgt at least FINALLY admitting problems (vs. our view targets had stayed too optimistic for too long, with HPQ spending too much of cash flow on buybacks rather than strategic moves) but nonetheless worry it's still very early and any true turnaround will take years not quarters."

China's failure to remove its vessels from Panatag Shoal is clear evidence of Chinese shadow play in the resolution of the dispute. Remember that about a month ago, Chinese authorities declared a fishing ban in the area for a period of two and a half months. Philippine authorities, in an effort to calm the standoff, followed suit and declared a similar ban. But contrary to the ban, no less than 20 Chinese fishing boats remain in the lagoon of the shoal, an area that is approximately as big as Quezon City. This number is in addition to no less than three Chinese government vessels in the area. This is clear doublespeak.
Despite China's doublespeak, President Aquino still ordered our two remaining government vessels in the area to leave. The pretext was the onslaught of a powerful typhoon. But diplomatic pundits do not buy this. They say that the real reason is that our policy makers probably miscalculated that China, like us, would want to reduce the tension the area. They hoped that Chinese authorities would reciprocate the order for our vessels to leave. This did not happen.
At least, it is now clear that China does not intend, or wish, to scale down its action. It is also now clear that China will not settle for anything less than our relinquishment of our claim to the shoal. This is their desired end-result when they espouse a "diplomatic" solution to the standoff.
The question in our mind is why is China taking this position only now? And why the brazenness of its acts?
Observers posit that China's actuations are a precursor of further trouble to come. The real battle ground is Recto Bank where we are about to drill for oil. Our responses to Chinese provocation in the shoal will in turn determine their future actuations in Recto Bank. On the basis of their current track record in the shoal, we should expect the Chinese to send its entire Armada to Recto should we persist in our effort to drill for oil in the area. Already, China has announced that it would conduct military exercises aimed at defending their perceived right to explore for mineral deposits in the West Philippine Sea. This is a clear message that China will use its recently acquired military might to defend its interest in these troubled waters.
It is imperative for Philippine policymakers now to acknowledge this state of affairs. Yes, diplomacy is the preferred mode of international dispute settlement. But this is only when the parties to the dispute observe good faith in their negotiations to arrive at a mutually acceptable solution to the dispute. It cannot be the solution when the Chinese view is that diplomacy should only result in our recognition of their claim to the area.
I have consistently argued hence that the only recourse for the country is to resort to the binding and mandatory dispute settlement procedure of the UNCLOS. The question was asked recently in a forum sponsored by the Ortigas library on why the Philippines has not brought the matter earlier to this dispute settlement body.
Professor Randy David had a notable observation. President Gloria Arroyo, according to him, courted Chinese support precisely by sitting on our options in asserting our national territory. This appears plausible given that instead of asserting our sovereignty, PGMA and her cohorts at the DFA and other line agencies—many of whom have recycled themselves as being pro-P Noy today—allowed the Chinese to engage, among others, in the exploration of our natural resources through the Joint Maritime Seismic and Exploration Agreement of the West Philippines Seas and the grant of mining grants in Diwalwal and North Davao to the company behind the botched National Broadband Network, ZTE Corporation. This is, many believe, in return for the many fraudulent Chinese funded projects entered into by the Arroyo regime, including the Northrail contract and the NBN-ZTE deal. In short, it was territory in exchange for pay-offs, or "tongpats."
It is hoped that President Aquino will hence assert Philippine sovereignty in territories that are in fact ours. The starting point is a clear and unequivocal declaration from a body such as the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea on which country is entitled to explore and exploit the natural resources in Panatag and in the Kalayaan group of islands.

Ashland Christian Fellowship has donated a trail easement on its property so that members of the public can walk along a section of Ashland Creek.
Adult and youth church members have already roughed out the trail's path, which will be 450 feet long and run parallel to the creek while remaining 20 feet back from the water.
The trail will be "Americans With Disabilities Act-compliant" meaning that pedestrians, dog walkers and people in wheelchairs alike will be able to enjoy the trail.

Just got this from Teavivre:
All of the properties stated in the description are true. The pot is 140ml, pours well, water flow can be stopped by putting a finger over the hole in the lid..etc...
I think this is a well made pot, but is it a real Yixing?
This is my second "Yixing" pot, the first I will never show, although it actually makes decent yancha.

Reviews of this property
Reviews for this host's other properties
The host sent me an email a day before our arrival to change the department. Fortunatelly it was a better category although no for 300 of the Acropolis. The department and the dedication of the host were great. It was very clean and has a beautiful terrace from where it was possible to see the Parthenon. It also has everything we need for the stay and the host gave us a small tour through the neighborhood which was near the restaurants area and 8 blocks from the metro station. Very recommendable!
It is basically the best place to be in Athens. Its location is perfect, allowing you to visit the Acropolis and its surroundings and to have drinks in very nice bars just down the street. The apartment itself is huge and very usable. We were 8 people in it and felt all very happy of it. With 220 m2, everyone could have its privacy. Also the terrace is the place we used the most with a beautiful view on the Acropolis.
If you are a group of 7 or 8 people, don't hesitate, this apartment will fit all your needs and expectations.
Thank you very much for professional service! Appreciated!
very nice and friendly team, very nice flat and nice location.
the only minor disadvantage is the view from the windows(((
hope to stay there again
We had an amazing time in Athens. The 3 nights we spent at 3 of the apartments were great. There were 11 of us altogether, with 2 being infants, the accomontions worked out perfectly. The apartments are very secure & quite at night & the air conditioning was great.Everything you need is close by, food, entertainment, shopping & site seeing. I would recommend these apartments to anyone wanting to visit Athens.
What a gorgeous apartment in a central location. Perfect for exploring Athens. I could see it eoukd nit be to everyones taste, however it was to mine.
The apartment is located on a street surrounded by wonderfully decaying other buildings, covered with vibrant street art. The apartment itself is cool and bright. The bedroom is small and could get a little stuffy, however there was aircon.
The apartment is very well presented and is filled with greenery and street art which gives it a an edgy modernist feeling.
2 minutes walk and you have a good selection of bars and restaurants. 5 minutes walk and you are in the middle of Athens. What more could you ask for. I only needed to use the metro twice and one of those was to get to the airport.
Very nice apartment, clean and fully equiped with all the necessary things. The location is a privilege.
I strongly recommend it.
Great apartments and a terrific roof terrace.
The apartment is in very good conditions.
Position couldn't be better: only 5 minutes walk from metro Akropolis, 3 minutes walk to Acropolis Museum.
Furniture, decoration and servies are perfectly working (washing machine is a plus), Wi-fi is good.
Lia's treat at check-in was impeccable, the documentation provided very comprehensive and detailed . We'll sure recommend this accomodation in the future.
Very centrally located in a nice area and the handover of the apartment worked smoothly.
Thank you

Azalea and Young have been dating since 2013. Meanwhile, Iggy has cancelled her U.S. tour for a second time due to production problems.
