as a story of theft, canny detective work, and eventual triumph against all the odds, it sounds like the plot of a bad movie. But it is in fact the tale of Danson House, a remarkable grade one listed Palladian villa in Bexley, south east London, that opens to the public on Friday for the first time in 30 years, after a £4 million restoration by English Heritage.
Danson was built in the 1760s by Sir Robert Taylor, who later designed the august Courtroom of the Bank of England. He was commissioned by John Boyd, a showy sugar merchant who installed wall paintings in celebration of life, love and nature. The explanation - in part, at least - was that the widower Boyd was somewhat enraptured by his new, rather young, bride-to-be.
Danson was to become one of the most important Georgian houses in Britain. But history was not kind to it. By 1995, when Danson was taken over by English Heritage, it had earned another accolade - that of 'London's greatest building at risk'. There were holes in the roof, subsiding upper floors and dry rot. A previous leaseholder had stolen fireplaces and removed doors, bookcases and even load-bearing walls.
'We were faced with a house that was already stripped of all its fixtures and fittings. The question was: what do we put back?' says English Heritage's building archaeologist, Richard Lea. An early decision they made was to restore the interior to its 1770s heyday, rather than the Victorian style in which the house was left when it was last inhabited in 1923.
And so, the painstaking restoration began. Once the building had been made structurally sound, work on the interior commenced. A major coup was the discovery of a set of seven detailed watercolours painted by Sarah Jane Johnson, whose family lived at Danson for 60 years. These watercolours, depicting the house in 1860, before any major refurbishments, provided crucial information for bringing Danson's Georgian heritage to life.
Further detective work led to the recovery of the fireplaces that had been stolen from Danson during the Eighties, found in a storage container waiting to be shipped to the West Indies. Through reference to the 19th century watercolours, these fireplaces were restored to their original positions in the house.
Minute traces of wallpaper were found in some glue - as if preserved in amber - in the salon room, as a ghostly reminder of interior design from another age. These were carefully extracted and sent to the United States for computer analysis. A close match was found, which now adorns the octagonal walls of the room, lit by the spectacular chandelier recreated by the conservators.
Elsewhere, huge recessed mirrors in gilded frames were recreated, and a magnificent and entirely over-the-top pipe organ - now playable, having been restored at a cost of more than £40,000 - has been put back into the library.
At the centre of the house is a top-lit oval staircase, about which all the principal rooms radiate. It is a close call as to whether this structure is the highlight of the house, or whether the accolade goes to the rare Georgian wall paintings in the grand dining room.
These were painted in situ by French artist Charles Pavillon in 1766, the year the house was built. The exuberant works show nearly full-size figure paintings of mythological characters, alternating with floral panels showing wisteria, chrysanthemum and dahlia.
Though English Heritage was responsible for the restoration, a 30-year lease on the house is held by local non-profit-making charity Bexley Heritage Trust.
Martin Purslow, director of the trust, explains how close Danson House was to total dereliction: 'It could so easily have been lost. The architects estimated that it was six months away from ruin. Now it is one of the most perfect neo-Palladian villas in the south east.'
Purslow says 90 local volunteers have come forward to act as 'room stewards' for the house, which last year won the Georgian Group national award for the rescue of a country house at risk.
Visitors will also be able to visit William Morris's Red House, owned by the National Trust and one of the most important Arts & Crafts houses in the country, which is close by.
And for those looking to bring a bit of Georgian bombast to their 'big day', Danson house is available to hire for wedding ceremonies, with prices starting at £800 for a maximum of 65 guests. The first was held, in the snow, just a few weeks ago.
· Danson House opens to the public this Friday for the Easter weekend. After that, it will open every Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday until 30 October. Entry is £5; children are admitted free. Inquiries to 020 8303 6699.

Prices Fall, But Home Sales Hit 12-Year Low
Thursday, February 26, 2009
Sales of existing homes fell to the lowest level in nearly 12 years last month even as plunging prices made houses less expensive.
The deteriorating economy is holding back would-be buyers as job losses add up and consumer confidence plummets, analysts said. Coupled with those concerns are more rigorous lending standards and bigger down payment requirements, as well as the fear that home values will continue their descent.
A housing market recovery will be unlikely until people feel more secure about their jobs, economists said.
"The key driver going forward is really the underlying economy," said Michael D. Larson, a housing analyst for Weiss Research. "You have gone from a bursting bubble to a broader, economically driven downturn in housing. And until we get some stabilization on the labor front, you are going to continue to see pressure on home sales."
Sales of existing homes fell by 5.3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.49 million units in January, down from 4.74 million in the month before and 4.91 million in January 2008, according to the National Association of Realtors. It was the lowest sales level since July 1997.
The decline surprised many economists and analysts who were predicting home sales would begin to stabilize following a December bump up. Only six states recorded an increase in the number of sales in January, with the hardest hit states, including California and Florida, experiencing upswings.
"Those were the first states that declined and they might be leading the rest of the country back out," said Christopher Low, chief economist at FTN Financial. "So even though we have a new low, there is reason to think that the damage will end, or at some point that things will get better."
Sales of distressed properties -- homes that have been foreclosed upon or bought from a homeowner near foreclosure -- helped push prices down, the association said. The national median existing-home price for all property types was $170,300 in January, down 14.8 percent from $199,800 a year earlier. Distressed properties accounted for 45 percent of all sales in January.
In the South, the region that includes the Washington area, sales were off 5.7 percent from the previous month and 15.9 percent from a year earlier. The median sales price was $152,100, down 7.4 percent from January 2008.
The decline in home sales came even as new evidence emerged that taking on a mortgage payment is easier compared with the cost of renting. A recent report by the real estate consultancy Green Street Advisors in Newport Beach, Calif., found that the gap between the after-tax cost of a monthly mortgage payment versus renting has narrowed to below its historical average. That gap had spiked during the boom years.
The Realtors association said that part of the January slump may have had to do with people waiting to hear details of the Obama administration's housing rescue plans. The economic stimulus package includes an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers, among other incentives. The administration also hopes to stem the tide of foreclosures by committing more than $75 billion to help as many as 9 million homeowners obtain more affordable mortgage terms.
The inventory of existing houses for sale fell to 3.6 million in January, from 3.7 million. That's a 9.6 month supply at the current sales pace, high compared with a healthy market.

Our good friends over at Otterbox sent through another little package for us to take a look at, and this time the case they suppled is for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G.
Otterbox are know for the excellent range of cases they produce for most cell phones and tablets and the new (fairly new) case for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G is no exception. This slim and surprisingly tough case incorporates a self-adhering screen, impact-absorbing silicone and a strong polycarbonate outer shell. While the outer shell won't stick to many surfaces to stop your phone sliding around, it is designed to slide easily in and out of your pocket or bag!.
The cases comes in the 3 pieces.  The first is an adhesive screen protector.  The next 2 pieces are the case itself and they are perfectly shaped to fit all the openings and ports on your device, the new case is top notch.
First you apply the self-adhering clear protective film to the screen using the supplied cleaning cloth and installation card.  Next you apply the Durable silicone mid-layer over your phone and finally the one piece custom molded polycarbonate shell goes over the top.  Installation is extremely easy and takes only a couple of minutes.
The headphone and USB slot covers are the fold back type and the silicone inserts attached to the case at these areas fits to perfection.  Apart from the small raised slither on the headphone flap and the nail sized slit on the USB port cover, you would hardly even know that they are there.
I have found one slight downside to the headphone flap! Each time I pulled the phone from my pocket, the rubber texture would stick to my pocket lining and pull the flap open. Â Not a huge problem as it easily slips back into place, but a little annoying.
Overall the case is a great addition to any myTouch 4G and will certainly give you piece of mind the next tie you drop your phone.  juts don't try that at home folks!
You can find more information on the Otterbox Web site and if you'd like to get your hands on one, head over to the AndroidSPIN accessory store.

My wife and I spent a long weekend here celebrating our first wedding anniversary. We had a ground floor room, but were a bit removed from the entrance and never found noise to be an issue. The room was relatively basic, but comfortable and met all of our needs.
If you're in to pools, this area was especially nice, with a regular-sized pool, a hot tub, and a 'happy medium' heated pool with the spillover water from the hot tub. Great way to relax in the evening! Adjacent to the pool area was also a pretty decent fitness center, along with a game room that had a few basic games, where we had some epic canasta battles well into the night (I promise we've only been married for a year).
The main perk of this place is clearly the location. It's directly across the street from the south shores of lake Tahoe, with some prime view rooms available. There's also beach access via a flight of stairs directly by the crosswalk once you're across the road. Turn right at the bottom of the stairs for a relatively large beach area, turn left for some great sitting rocks that are right in the shade. My wife and I spent a good amount of time down here.
Also a few minutes' drive away is Heavenly village, which has some shopping opportunities, games, and a gondola ride that leads to some hiking trails and pretty sweet views. Another minute or two up the road is the casinos, in case you're looking to get your gamboooooooool on. Something to love for everybody!
We didn't have much interaction with staff during our stay, but found those we encountered to be helpful and pleasant. In fact, the lady at checkout was nice enough to warn us of some fires in the path of our intended route, which saved us time and caused us to take a more scenic direction. Many thanks for that! We love Tahoe and would definitely stay here again if we some back to the southern area

You know the feeling when you dump everything out of you purse, shake it out and put everything back in again, but this time neatly organized and minus all the gum wrappers and loose change? If you are the kind of person who, like me, this gives a little thrill to, then putting together a capsule wardrobe will be right up your alley.
However, if you are NOT that kind of person, don't despair, it can still be a lot of fun! My favorite part of putting together my new wardrobe each season is shopping my closet. I get to pull out all of that stuff that I put away last fall or winter. There's always cute pieces that I've forgotten about.
In fact, this year since I have successfully pared my wardrobe down to only things that I absolutely love, I created my entire spring capsule wardrobe without buying a single thing.
Of course, I am going to buy a new skirt and a new pair of kicks, but I don't HAVE to, you know?
So I'm going to break down my process for you. This is not the prettiest post, true, but I'm hoping it will be helpful! By the way, I'm going into this assuming that you have already done the work of planning your style, and color scheme. If you haven't, take some time to do that. Either with Pinterest boards or a planner like this one . Just a word of warning, if you haven't done a little thinking about what you'd like your wardrobe to look like, this process will be a lot harder.
OK - here we go!
Step 1: do laundry
Ha ha, yep - you have to do this first. Why? Because you don't want to go through the whole process of picking your top 6 perfect shirts and then find out there's two in the dirty laundry that you want to include too!
|Here's my little pile of laundry! One of the benefits of a capsule wardrobe, not much laundry :)
Step 2: pull out clothes from storage
I'll admit, I've been looking forward to this for weeks. I just love going through all my warm weather clothes and seeing all the fun stuff in there! I have three bins, one for sweaters, one for winter and fall clothes, and one for summer and spring. (Winter just takes up more space).
By they way, if you don't have clothes in storage yet, you'll want to do this. It makes the purging process so much easier. There's always a few things that I don't want to part with, but I also don't want in my wardrobe at that moment. Putting them in storage helps with keeping things clean.
Step 3: go through stored clothes and pick out all the 'maybes' for this upcoming season
At this point, you are not necessarily picking each piece for your wardrobe. This is my pile for the spring capsule, but probably only about 2/3 of it made it in. Some I tried on and decided to sell, some went back into storage for my summer capsule.
Step 4: Go through your current capsule and put away anything that you are done with.
You now have to pull everything out of your closet and drawers. If you already have a capusle, that's only about 37-40 pieces so it's actually not that bad. If it's out of season but you still like it, put it in storage. Most of my winter capsule fell into this category. A few things I kept for my spring capsule, and there was maybe two or three things that I decided to get rid of. If it's too worn to keep, or you are just tired of it, give it away. The Goodwill will take clothes in any state, if they can't sell them, they will turn them into rags. Don't throw them in the landfill!!
Also, lots of folks are doing clothing swaps this time of year. They can be a fun way to get rid of clothes, just beware of coming home with as much stuff as you left with!
|Here's my bag of clothes going to the thrift store - I sold them for $35! not too shabby
Step 5: Create Your Capsule!
This is an overhead shot of my bed. I've laid everything out according to category; sweaters, pants, long-sleeved shirts, short-sleeved shirts, button-down shirts, dresses, and skirts. Then I sat down and decided how many of each category I wanted to have.
This is a pretty personal process. For example, I only have two skirts but 9 pairs of pants, you might be the opposite. Or maybe you are just a jeans and t-shirt kind of gal. Or you want to have 20 dresses. Whatever floats your boat.
I just find that having a number before I start really helps me to stay focused.
|As usual, the kitty is very helpful.
At this point, it was really just a matter of shaving off a few items that I wasn't completely crazy about and only keeping the ones that I truly love.
This is also where having a really solid idea about your color scheme and style can be a big help! Some restrictions are nice when you are having trouble making a decision.
So that was my morning yesterday! All together it took me maybe three hours, but I was having a great time, listening to music, browsing Pinterest for inspiration and I took a break for lunch.
Have fun with it!
For Part 2, I'll show you my wardrobe and talk more about how I decided on the number of items for each category.

Ossiach Abbey (Stift Ossiach) is a former Benedictine monastery in Ossiach near Feldkirchen in Kärnten in the Austrian state of Carinthia.
The monastery was established as the first in the Duchy of Carinthia about 1024 by a certain Count Ozi, probably affiliated with the Otakar dynasty, margraves of Styria from 1056, and father of Patriarch Poppo of Aquileia. From the Otakars the office of a vogt passed to the House of Babenberg and finally fell to the Habsburgs.
According to legend, King Bolesław II the Bold of Poland, after he was banished in 1079 for the murder of Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów and had fled to Hungary, then wandered through Europe and found peace at last when he arrived at Ossiach. There the king is said to have lived in the monastery as a mute penitent for eight years humbly doing the meanest and lowliest jobs until on his death bed he told his father confessor who he was and what he had been doing penance for.[1] The Latin inscription on his alleged tomb at the northern side of the church building says, "Boleslav, King of Poland, Murderer of Saint Stanislav, Bishop of Cracow".
The Romanesque church itself was first mentioned in 1215, built on the groundplan of a basilica, the tower above the crossing. Restored in a Late Gothic style after a fire in 1484, the abbey, a member of the Benedictine Salzburg Congregation from 1641, was extensively altered in the Baroque period, including decoration with stucco of the Wessobrunner School.
Ossiach Abbey was dissolved in 1783, after which the buildings were used as a barracks. In 1816 the premises were largely demolished. Between 1872 and 1915 the few remaining buildings were again used as a barracks and as stabling. Since 1995 the premises have been owned by the administration of Carinthia. The church since the dissolution has served the local parish. Two stained glass windows were donated by Karl May in 1905, though according to recent research the popular writer had probably never visited Ossiach.[2]
The monastery site is one of the venues of the annual music festival "Carinthian Summer".

Online Casino Player Nets Almost £200k With Second Win
By Staff
Winning one progressive jackpot takes gigantic amounts of luck; winning two in as many months is quite simply astronomical.
Sophie M from Peterborough did just that – her most recent windfall came at William Hill's Gold Rush Showdown online slots game after a spin qualified her for a bonus round. She successfully completed the round to win £84,978. This comes just one month after she won £102,000 on the Pharoh's Treasure slot game at William Hill.
'As soon as I won the jackpot, I ran upstairs and woke my husband up to tell him; I think I gave him quite a shock! We sat for the next half hour not quite believing what had just happened and in the morning we both had to ask each other if it was a dream that we were lucky enough to have won a second jackpot. We plan to pay off our mortgage and save the rest for our childrens' future; my children are the most important thing in the world to me.'
William Hill spokeswoman Jennie Prest said, 'We've never had a dual jackpot winner on our Vegas site so Sophie is a first for us and we are delighted for her. To win one jackpot can be life changing for anyone, but in winning two Sophie is one lucky lady.'

- First oneVote A
- Second oneVote B
You're too different... Can't choose. Same level of pretty, just not the same type.
Thank you =)
Have an opinion?
2nd girl looks like she's 14 so automatic DQ from the comparison for me. Which leaves 1st girl who is quite generic, but isn't bad.
Yep, same here!
The first is more in the hot side. Maybe toouch Makeup. The second is really cute and young. I don't know. It's a tie.
2nd girl is more genuine
first one looks gorgeous and sexy
First chick is hotter
Absolutely second one for me but i think both of them aren't very beautiful.
Second one... She has way less makeup on and that shows true beauty 👌 :)
One for sure
second girls smile puts her over the top for me. would have to see both smiling to know for sure
Obviously the second by far
Second girl
I like first one actually
Hard to tell because the first on is wearing make-up while the second isn't wearing as half as much, the first one also looks much older.
2nd chick seems more naturally pretty, she also seems easier to hang with.
Half of one's face is covered and the other isn't. One is wearing makeup the other little to no make up. One is grinning the other is smiling. So the second one
Second girl looks like a child
First girl
The first one would, but she has a stupid expression on her face. So the second one is beautiful.

PLYMOUTH, N.H. — Join members of 2009 Educational Theatre Collaborative (ETC) production of The Wizard of Oz as they travel to the Emerald City, Feb. 6 and 7 in Concord.
ETC, a venture of the College of Graduate Studies at PSU, Friends of the Arts and Plymouth Elementary School, is a winner the Hippo Press "Best of Everything" Award and a two-time winner of the Moss Hart Award for excellence in children's and community theatre.
"The live show promises delights and thrills for the whole family, (and at least one dog)," said The Concord Monitor.
With a cast of 125 members ages 8 to 65, any production would be a challenge. Pulling it all together with only 18 days of rehearsal is about as miraculous and fantastic as the story itself, but that's what ETC is doing for its 15th-anniversary production.
"I would never even attempt it if it weren't for the expertise and hard work of the ETC team and the wonderful community members who make up the cast," said ETC Creative Director and Co-Founder Trish Lindberg.
"The challenges are to create a schedule that accomplishes all we need to in the short amount of time we have, and to work through all the many technical elements of the production. I want the audience to take away a wonderful and emotionally charged experience so that they will rekindle memories and make new ones," Lindberg said.
Lindberg won the 2007 Excellence in Education Award from the New Hampshire Department of Education and the 2007 Excellence in Children's Theatre Award, presented by the New Hampshire Theatre Awards.
The intergenerational troupe includes community members, elementary, high school and university students; and PSU faculty and staff from more than 30 towns.
The 2009 cast welcomes back PSU alumni and professional actors Robin Marcotte and Chris Gonzalez, who were in the original ETC production of The Wizard of Oz as the Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion 11 years ago. PSU Dean of Students Tim Keefe, of Plymouth, has appeared in all 15 ETC productions.
Additional familiar characters are Dorothy, portrayed by Ariana Casasanto of Manchester; the Tin Man/Hickory, portrayed by Kyle Trumble of Manchester; the Wicked Witch/Miss Almira Gultch, portrayed by Lisa Lovett '87 of Holderness; Glinda, portrayed by Allison DuHamel of Nashua; Professor/Wizard of Oz, portrayed by Joseph Casey of Plymouth; Uncle Henry, portrayed by Victor Gennaro of Plymouth and Aunt Em, portrayed by Kathleen Hill of Center Harbor.
Throughout the ETC production, the Wicked Witch of the West, Glinda and the Flying Monkeys will all be flown by the prestigious Foy Company, which flew Mary Martin in Broadway's Peter Pan.
According to the Library of Congress, "Since its publication in 1900, L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz(on which the play is based) has become America's greatest and best-loved homegrown fairytale. The first totally American fantasy for children, it is one of the most-read children's books."
The movie version was shown on television annually from 1959-1991, making the film one of the most famous ever produced. The movie garnered an Academy Award nomination for best picture and won best original song for "Over the Rainbow" sung by Judy Garland.
Familiar songs like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "The Lollypop Guild," "If I Only Had a Brain" and "Ding! Dong! The Witch is Dead" will take older patrons on a trip down memory lane, while youngsters explore the Yellow Brick Road for the first time.
Patrons can soak up that "certain air of savoir faire, in the merry old land of Oz" at performances in Concord Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 7 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. at the Capitol Center for the Arts.
In Concord, tickets are $19.50-$29.50 and may be purchased at the CCANH Box Office, (603) 225-1111 or online at tickets.ccanh.com.
Information about ETC is online at plymouth.edu/cac.

Following my previous articles, lets go a little deeper in labelling the VLAN created and ways to handle multiple VLANs on a diagram.
Network Diagrams: Drawing Freehand Curves (and then fixing them)
Continuing on with absurdly popular posts about making diagrams in Visio. Lets draw a line in freehand. It will be broken, because we aren't artists so lets talk about how to fix it.
Network Diagrams:Aligning Shapes
In this post we are looking at aligning shapes in straight lines which will enhance your presentation.
Network Diagrams:Locking the Background Shape
Once you are using background shapes, you find that they keep on getting in the way. This post looks at how to lock the shape so you diagram over the top of it.
Network Diagrams: Labelling an VLAN/IP Segment
Lets build the Layer 3 segment from yesterday's post into something you can use in a detailed design.

The North Academy submarine, known as the North School submarine in the Japanese version, is a vehicle used by the occupants of North Academy.
The submarine, with Chancellor Foster aboard, would rescue Chazz Princeton after he falls overboard from his family's yacht. Foster, in disguise at the time, would drop Chazz's Deck into a puddle of water, ruining the cards. He handed Chazz an "Ojama Yellow" card, telling him that the card will be very important to his future. He then ejects Chazz from the submarine, and he lands near North Academy.[1]
The submarine would be used by North Academy's fifty-one students and Foster himself to travel to Duel Academy for the interscholastic match, where it would land at the docks.[2] The students and Foster would take the submarine back to North Academy shortly thereafter, without Chazz, who opted to re-enroll at Duel Academy.[3]

- Liquefy
The Fusion Xcelerator comes with two different mug sizes. A personalized sized mug holds 12 ounces and the large mug has the capacity to hold 24 ounces.
The dual blade is perfect for crushing ice or frozen fruits and vegetables.
The quad blade makes sure everything mixes together. It will evenly mix liquids together creating a perfect consistency of flavor.
There are two different types of lids which is extremely convenient. One of the lids is for storage so you can transport your drinks everywhere you go and you never have to worry about spills. The second lid is for drinking, it is hollow in the center - just screw it on.
The 800-watt motor will liquefy just about anything. It does not matter if fruits and vegetables are fresh or frozen - you can even use it to crush and blend ice.
How to Use (Step by Step)
- Choose Mug
- Fill it up
- Pick up Base
- Flip it
- Blend
- Flip it
- Unscrew it
The first step to using Fusion Xcelerator is to choose which size mug you want to use.
Fill the mug up with all of your ingredients.
Pick up the base of Fusion Xcelerator and place it on top of the mug you have just filled. Screw it on tight.
Flip the entire system. Now the bottom of the base will be on your counter and the mug will be upside down. Make sure nothing is spilling. If there is a spill, tighten the mug to the base.
Turn on Fusion Xcelerator until everything is completely blended and smooth.
Flip everything upside down again. Now the mug will be standing on the counter or table and the base will be in the air. You do this so the liquid does not spill out when you unscrew the two pieces.
Unscrew the base from the mug and choose a lid. If you are going to drink from it right away put the sipping lid on, and if you are saving it for later use the storage lid.

Meet Erin and Daniel. They found us online through a previous client that we photographed at the Panther stadium and loved the pics and commissioned us to create their very own custom stylized engagement photography session at Bank of America (Carolina Panther Stadium). I always like to incorporate at least two wardrobe changes in every engagement sessions - one more laid back and another more dressy. Erin and Daniel classified themselves as "athletic and casual" so we themed our session and style around that concept. read more

Grace Among Thieves (Manor House Mystery Series #3)
NOOK Book(eBook)
As curator and manager of the Marshfield Manor, Grace Wheaton is delighted to be part of the estate's magnificent history, but no one told her solving murder was in her job description…
When Grace's former professor calls to warn her that there have been a rash of thefts at various historical sites, Grace isn't surprised—because Marshfield Manor has been targeted, too. She wonders if it has something to do with the film crew roaming the grounds, digitally immortalizing the manor, but then she gets distracted by an incident much more dire: the shooting of one guest and the murder of another.
Grace does her best not to go looking for trouble, but with a murderer on the loose, she can't seem to leave the dirty work to the cops—especially since the killer still seems to be lurking around town, waiting to finish the job of making Grace history…

Grace manages to juggle the many demands of running Marshfield Manor with aplomb, whether it be dealing with the possibility that the stepdaughter of the owner is pilfering, dealing with wandering tourists, overseeing a film crew making a DVD of the manor, or planning a strategy to foil a gang of thieves that has been targeting art museums and homes like Marshfield Manor. All things are set aside when a young girl is murdered and the man who went to help her shot. While Grace doesn't interfere with the police investigation, she doesn't stand aside either. She enrolls Rooney and even Frances, her curmudgeon of a secretary, to help her. While she hopes she can trust the shooting victim, she keeps her own counsel which leads her to the true culprits. Grace Among the Thieves is a smart, fast, and entertaining read. There are moments of humor to leaven the fast moving plot and hints of complications to come. It's definitely a must read for the summer!
I have enjoyed the whole "Grace" series. They are fun and light reading. Would recommend them to everyone.
Grace has her hands full. There is film crew making a souvenir movie of Marshfield Manor and the owner's stepdaughter has dropped by for an unexpected visit. The last thing she needs is the news she received from former professor. Apparently historic places like Marshfield Manor are being targeted by thieves. She is confident in their security team until a guest is murdered and another one shot. There is just not enough manpower to spread around. Grace has reason to believe the killer and thieves are lurking about. The two things may even be connected. She will do anything for Marsheild Manor and its owner even if it means putting herself in danger. Grace my just find herself armed and dangerous. I couldn't wait to read this story. I have become invested in the people at Marshfield Manor. Grace, Frances, Bennett and even Hillary. They is never a dull moment when she is around. Grace again gets involved in all the drama with all the best intentions. Frances tries to keep everyone in line and Bennett watches over everyone. The author reeled me in with this one and had me hook, line and sinker. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. So much excitement and suspense I forgot it was a cozy! Julie Hyzy writes wonderful stories and each one is better than the last. If you were waiting for this one like me you will really enjoy it. If this is a new author for you start at the beginning, read them in order, and enjoy. I can't wait to she what kind of trouble Grace gets into next!!
I love everything Ms. Hyzy writes! She hooked me with her White House Chef series and now the Manor House Series. Once I start one of her books I'm unable to put it down until it's finished. Great job once again and I agree with a previous person's review, the books just keep getting better and better. Here is to many more sleepless nights! Old Cross-Stitcher!
Julie Hyzy has done it again! The story grabs you right away and does not stop until we arrive safely at the end! Cannot wait to see what Grace gets into next! Congratulations on a story well told.
Have read some Hyzy and was curious about this series. However, the "free sample" offered is shorter than some of the reviews. There is no way to know if I would like it or not.
I MAKE THE RULES FROM NOW ON *Cuts off Ken's head*
Who all are still alive?????????
Thats cool. I m fine with dat.
I don't know what you're talking about....we have had these games since last week.
Highly recommended. Julie Hyzy has done another wonderful who-done-it with the Marshfield Mansion series. I love her characters and the twists. Can't wait for the next in the series.
I would recommend this series to all cozy mystery fans. Julie Hyzy's characters are well written and the plot is good....predictable ending.... but a good story!! Grab all in the series and have a great read!! Love them and look forward to some more featuring "Grace" and the Manor House!
I do enjoy this series very much. It is fun to read and has an interesting plot.
Julie has done it again; she's written a great story that showcases the strength and moxie of Grace Wheaton as she investigates thefts and another murder at Marshfield Manor. The author did a good job in fleshing out this mystery with plenty of diversion that kept my attention as I could not put this book down. This was an excellent read and I can't wait for what happens next at Marshfield Manor in this enjoyably pleasant series.
Grace Among Thieves is Julie's third Marshfield Manor book and it is very possibly the best. She has weaved terrific twists and turns into the story and as always, keeps you engaged till the very end. In this book, Grace is dealing with the invasion of Marshfield Manor by a film crew who are making a marketing DVD for Marshfield, and at the same time a series of small thefts are taking place at the Manor. There is a murder and, of course, Grace ends up in the middle of it, but the twist that Julie accomplished with the investigation is fantastic, though I must admit I didn't want it to be the person it was. And the ending - too clever and funny. Great job, once again, Julie! Can't wait to begin the next adventure!

(MoneyWatch) While I never thought I'd see the day, last week's Investment News cover story called into question the viability of active investing. This weekly publication for financial advisers noted that the California Public Retirement System (CalPERS) was considering dropping active managers from the $255 billion fund. Currently about half of this fund is invested using active managers with the other half using passive.
The article states that a mere decade ago, only 14% of mutual funds and ETFs were in passive strategies. Today that amount has doubled to 28% as investors left active and funds flowed into passive. If this doubles again in the next decade, active investing will be a minority. According to Morningstar, only nine percent of large cap mutual funds bested the S&P 500 over a ten, five, and three year period.
CalPERS is expected to decide the fate of active managers for its fund in about five months. Interesting that Chris McIsaac, managing director of the institutional investor group at Vanguard, was quoted in the piece saying he wasn't ready to write off active management altogether. He stated that there will come a time when active managers will do much better, but that the good ones must also have low costs.
My take
A decade ago, I was too busy defending why passive investing wasn't dead to even consider whether active investing would survive. This is absolutely the triumph of indexing that John C. Bogle brought to the public, and is a really good thing.
I am skeptical that active managers will ever have their day. By simple arithmetic, they must always earn the market before fees. This means that owning the entire market at the lowest fee will always beat active overall.
I would be terribly worried if there was any real possibility that active investing was dying, as it is active investing that keeps markets efficient. But I'm not worried, because less than ten percent of the market could be active and still keep markets working. Fortunately, human greed and Wall Street marketing would never let that happen. There are plenty of people willing to buy into the active fantasy.
Maybe we should declare a national holiday to thank the active traders and money managers that keep the market going. They are the ones that give us a free ride. Long live active investing!
Author's note: After publishing, I received the following email from CalPERS:
Despite several recent and inaccurate articles, CalPERS has no plans to make a decision about active managers at this time. This issue arose out of a recent 'Investment Beliefs Workshop' and took the form of a stakeholder presentation to the CalPERS Board. It was the first of a yearlong discussion to develop the System's Investment Beliefs and Strategic Asset Allocation. It was not an action item to decide the management of the portfolio. While the debate around active v. passive came up and may continue to take place in this exercise, the adoption of a final set of beliefs later this year will not include investment decisions to change the management of assets.

The performance of Australian blue chip stocks echo the major themes of 2014; it has been a bad year for resources, but a great year for property developers.
In a year where the S&P/ASX50 index returned close to 1 per cent for the year, the share prices for Lend Lease Group, Westfield Corporation and GPT Group excelled.
But the worst performing stocks from the blue chips were led by the miners, including Fortescue Metals Group, Santos and BHP Billiton.
Property developers Lend Lease was the best performer for the year-to-date. Its share price returned 47.5 per cent to close at $16.45 on Tuesday, despite having led the doomed East West Link consortium and losing a High Court battle to the Victorian state revenue office over stamp duty for its Docklands sites.
CLSA diversified industrials analyst Andrew Johnston says the stock will continue to benefit in 2015 from strong apartment development, buoyed by foreign capital, as well as emerging infrastructure construction.
The second best performing blue chip for the year is Westfield Corporation, merely six months after it emerged as a separate vehicle for its international assets (the Australian and New Zealand assets became Scentre Group).
In the face of fierce opposition from some investors to the demerger, the stock added 44 per cent to its share price, and the combined value of the two entities grew $5.6 billion.
Newcrest Mining made the list at number three, climbing back from a low base of $7.80 this time last year and adding 36 per cent. The company did not pay dividends in 2014, and subsequently spent $100 million on repaying debts.
Allan Gray portfolio manager Simon Mawhinney has also listed the stock among his top buys for 2015.
The wooden spoon for 2014 belongs to Fortescue Metals Group as the iron ore price continues its downward spiral. The miner has posted a massive 53 per cent lower return for the year-to-date.
The company also had a busy December shedding some high-profile senior management in a cost-cutting exercise.
Oil and gas producer Santos fared little better, shedding 44 per cent.
Meanwhile, 2014 went from bad to worse for professional services firm WorleyParsons. A year starting with bleak profit warnings and low investor confidence ended with the company down 41 per cent, the worst of the slide starting in the September quarter as oil prices plummeted.
Earlier this month UBS slashed its 12-month price target on the company to $9 down from $13, warning of further, more aggressive cost-cutting on the back of a slowdown in projects.
Among the non-resources that struggled this year was Coca-Cola Amatil, after a period of consolidation hit hard, losing 23 per cent, while Crown Resorts shed 25 per cent.
Rio Tinto was perhaps the best of the worst, dropping just 15 per cent in a year punctuated by the shambolic sale of its $3.9 billion Mozambique coal assets for a meagre $50 million in July.

30 thoughts on "June 24, 2016"
Not…strictly true. Experience, specialized knowledge, and a good attitude are other qualities companies look for. Not necessarily in retail, but most other industries look for more than just a good work ethic in their employees.
But Clifford, experience, specialized knowledge, good attitude are of no value if they come with a poor work ethic.
I think the idea is that while you should always do your best job regardless of how much you're payed, companies need to pay you a competitive salary or risk another company making you a better offer. Work ethic and company loyalty are two very different things.
And there's also one's own character to consider – I work hard and try to do a good job no matter where I'm working because it can help me find other jobs, but also because it's generally the right thing to do.
Also: Cooper is no slacker. Nobody that productive or efficient is. He's just a smartass.
I'm over worked and underpaid, unless I work overtime which I do a lot. the taxes are terrible and the benefits don't help much. So yeah almost 50 a week. A hundred dollars come out of my paycheck
50 hours that is
why do you hate our troops
Because they're entirely too tolerant of politicians screwing them over. Historically speaking, there have been military coups with less provocation than the woes given the US military in the last decade.
Or they have a GOOD work ethic, and take their oath seriously.
Which some people sadly seem to consider Unforgivable.
quineloe, Bill never mentioned the troops. Where did you get the idea that he hates them?
They said taxes were terrible. Taxes pay the troops.
So how does Bryce correlate his beliefs with the facts of Stuart's high pay scale and low job performance?
People should do a good job even IF they're highly overpaid.
Cooper's right, I learned that the hard way. Worked my butt off for the same place for almost ten years and all they did was give me more work instead of promoting or giving more pay….because they could. Don't do that anymore…$9 an hour gets $9 worth of effort, no more no less.
The real problem is that for many jobs, especially corporate retail, it's not about whether or not the employee is doing a good job; it's about the bottom line (remember the long ago storyline of Marla trying to keep a higher-paid employee over Courtney?).
The flip side is that if the employee never does a good job, she/he never justifies a higher salary. Remember that one of Marla's first actions as manager was getting Cooper to a higher pay scale? In fact, Cooper's forgetting, since Marla knew his value as an employee, but wanted him to cut off the slacking.
So…no real easy answers, and they're both wrong and right. Welcome to life.
They both have a point, but I think Cooper's point trumps Brice's. Employers expect employees to give it their all since there are others waiting for the job if someone slacks off. It's pretty sad.
I don't think that there are too many people waiting for minimum wage jobs anymore. I see "hiring now" signs all over the place where I live. I think the myth that others are waiting for my job so I better not complain, work some crazy schedule, ask for a raise, or promotion, etc., is being promoted by big companies to make sure workers keep quiet and don't look for better work elsewhere.
I live in one of those small towns that have devolved into litlle more than bedroom communities attached to the next town over. We do, however, have a gas statin, grocery store, car repair place, and two bars. The gas station has been understaffing for years. They hire people, mostly women, to work a ten hour shift by themselves, no breaks. at slightly more than minimum wage, no benefits. These women are also responsible for cleaning the place, restocking shelves, operating what amounts to a fast food restaurant (gas station style), as well as cashiering and keeping an eye on the gas pumps. The owner got away with overworking staff during the worst of the recession. A lot of the people they hired had "problems", but they didn't quit because there was no place else to go. Good workers were stuck and stayed on the job until overwork and workplace injuries forced them to leave.
What happened was that word got around that this was a terrible place to work, and replacing staff who quit or were fired got more and more difficult. The advantages of working for a small "family owned" local business within walking distance no longer made up for the long hours, heavy lifting, no breaks, crabby customers, and getting yelled at when thieves gassed up and drove off without paying.
The gas station is open 5 AM to 10 PM seven days a week and had four people to cover all the shifts. Then one quit, leaving three and I found out yesterday that all three had given notice and as of next week, the gas station will have no staff at all.
But think of the money the owner will be saving in labour costs!! /sarcasm (in case it wasn't obvious)
I will never understand business who chronically understaff. Do they think customers don't notice they had to wait 15 minutes just to pay for gas? It happened at my old job all the time – they had 3 full time associates (myself included) leave over the course of 2 years and hired 2 casual part timers to 'replace' them. Don't even count the 3 casual pt's they lost in addition to the ft's. And it wasn't the store manager's fault – I would hear on the phone to the district manager and being continually told that there is a 'hiring freeze'. Really? For 3 years?! Glad to be out of there but I feel bad for those left behind.
If I were Cooper, I'd be all over Brice about that 'slacker' remark. Especially after that fiasco a couple of weeks ago where Brice wrongfully accused Cooper of negligence.
Cooper probably does more work in the first hour of his shift than Brice does all day. And Cooper is far more competent at his particular job than Brice is at his. I do agree that you should do your job well, but these days, the expectations versus what they're willing to pay are ridiculous.
I tend to side with Cooper on this. Cooper has the more realistic view of how things are.
Cooper usually does.
Cooper is proud of being a slacker, though. So why would he take offense? 🙂 You're right though, he's super efficient… so he can be a slacker.
Thank you! That's often been my attitude — you're not a slacker if you're competent and efficient enough with your work to do it with time to spare.
I wish the world worked like Brice sees it where everyone does the job right even if the pay is not great, I know I tend to work harder than I have to sometimes. However the sad reality is that in a retail setting 99% of the time there is no real reward for going above the minimum, so I can see Cooper's point and I get why so many workers operate that way.
Then you have people like me: I have strange disabilities that effectively make me a 'slacker' whether I want to be or not (can't multitask, slower at things than others, easily distracted, ect.). Yes, I CAN force myself to work harder and faster for a while- but I'll pay for it by not being able to function at all!
Not everyone that looks like a slacker is actually a slacker.
There are two kinds of slackers, really; those that really do slack off and do not get the work done and those who, like Cooper, entertain themselves while getting the job done. They look like they are enjoying themselves so how could they be working, so clearly others must be getting the work done. I had a coworker like that. Management was sure he was a jack-off, they were preparing to fire him when he had to be gone for a while (mother died). Management asked why a certain-very popular-thing wasn't being done and was told " Oh, Joseph usually does that. Management looked at him differently after that, or at least they paid attention and saw what he did. Of course, our management wasn't stupid.
I remember one of my supervisors being like this about PT when I was active duty. If we were having fun while exercising or laughing, we "obviously weren't working hard enough".
Apparently exercise isn't supposed to be fun.
Who decides whether your work is good enough to earn you a raise? Corporate. And we all know how impossible it is to get ahead in that culture, because they fully intend to keep total wages paid at a certain level. That's why nobody ever gets a perfect score on their employee evaluation. When the boss holds all the cards, you can work your butt off doing the work of five people and never see any reward over your base pay. You can't get ahead that way.
I'm not hostile to Brice's point. But, I can't help thinking that it should be matched with a strong pay ethic, in which companies pay at least a living wage, with regular raises, whether the employees are noticed for being hard workers or not.
Because, here's the thing, employers are a lot more likely to make mistakes in estimating how hard employees are working than employees are in estimating how much employers are paying.
To be honest, both Brice and Cooper have a point. It really depends on two things:
1. What is considered doing your job well? Cooper gets all of his assigned work done, and makes very few mistakes. Under those criteria, he's actually a fairly good employee, since you can give him a task and let him get on with it.
2. how are had workers compensated for the extra effort? To be blunt, when a worker who works hard is paid almost the same as a worker who doesn't work as hard, they will get increasingly cross. (basically, if you have a good employee, don't simply give them more work for the same wage. If you give an employee more responsibility, give them a wage increase to accompany it. ( it doesn't have to be as simplistic as twice the pay for twice the work, but there should be a noticeable difference in the pay between a good employee and a bad one.)

How does shared ownership work?
Asked on Nov 8 2010, General in Barnsley | Report content
Answers (3)
Sort by: Oldest | Recent | Highest rated
You might buy a 25%, 50% or 75% share in your home. You pay a rent on the share that you don't buy normally set at an 'affordable' rate of, say, 3%. The bigger the share that you purchase, the less rent you have to pay. When you can afford to do so, you can buy more shares until you own your home outright in a process known as 'staircasing'.Answered on Nov 8 2010, Report content
The other answer is correct, it is a scheme designed to assist in the purchase of property. The idea is you buy a specified percentage of the property and pay a proportional rent on the outstanding balance with a view over time of securing the freehold.Answered on Nov 9 2010, Report content
The two previous replies are correct, but a word of warning - check the small print on your agreement, because it often states that when you come to sell the property, the finance company`s share of the selling price has to be the market valuation that the finance company agrees with. This means that if you need to drop the price to sell quickly, the finance company may not agree to drop the price of their share. This can delay the sale or it may mean you are the only one taking the drop in price. Remember at selling time, you may have pressures forcing you to want a relatively quick sale, but the finance company can wait indefinately to get the asking price that it wants. It`s just a point to consider before going into the agreement.Answered on Mar 2 2011, Report content

Instead of living in houses like we do, they live in small mushrooms that they have customized according to the smurfs attitude and or interests. They have different mushrooms for the different activities that the smurfs do. The population of the smurfs is huge. Too many to count for a smurf or any other creature. The size of the house depends on the smurf and their job. They live in small villages amongst each other.
In Smurfs Ville they eat all kinds of different plants. The Fortune Cookie is a pastry that Baker Smurf bakes. Brainy Smurf wrote the fortunes and put them in the cookies. A Smurf Berry is a round red berry that grows on a bush. It is the source of most of the nutrition that smurfs receive. One more type of berry is a Zing Berry, a Zing Berry is a type of berry that resembles a Smurf Berry, but is green and only grows in the Smurf Forest once a year.
They have a very distinct way of speaking here. The word "smurf" usually means, "to make", "to be", "to like", or "to do". When they explain how a day has been or they need to exlain how something is they say something is "just smurfy" or in some cases, "smurftastic". In different parts of Smurfville they use words differently. For example, the Northern Smurfs called a certain object a "bottle smurfer", while the Southern Smurfs called it a "smurf opener". It doesn't have much significance to the culture.
They worship the God 'Grandpa Smurf'. The Smurfs aren't like us, they don't follow the same kind of religions. They see Grandpa Smurf as their God because of his intelligence and the fact that he is so wise. Papa Smurf learns everything that he know about surviving and the universe from Grandpa Smurf. They NEVER doubt what Grandpa Smurf has to say or the advice that he has to give them. They believe in him because of his intelligence.
