Since taking over for David Stern, Silver has shown a willingness to take on new ideas and approach longtime problems in the NBA with fresh ideas.

|Thomas A. Edison Full-Service Community School
Ivan R. Tolentino, Principal
The Edison Professional Development School, founded in 2002 by Dr. JoAnne Ferrara and Dr. Eileen Santiago, began as a shared vision for an innovative partnership that supported children's academic success while simultaneously supporting the professional growth of teacher education candidates, new teachers, and experienced teachers. As the School of Education's first Professional Development School (PDS), Edison truly sets the standard for a model of partnership that involves more than student teacher placements, and reflects on-going collaboration between higher education and the local schools in ways that are mutually beneficial to both institutions.
During its seven years as a PDS, the Manhattanville/Edison partnership has successfully shepherded 40 teacher candidates through student teaching, hosted 65 field placements students for a variety of activities including observations, tutoring students, co-teaching in on-site methods courses, conducting action research projects, and providing instructional support in grades K-5.
The partnership also supports and encourages both new and experienced teachers to expand their knowledge beyond their classroom doors by engaging in presentations at local and national conferences, co-authoring professional articles, and conducting action research projects with college faculty. The Manhattanville/ Edison Professional Development School transforms teachers into leaders and contributes to both teacher preparation and educational research.

IBM cloud computing solutions are helping make the vision of on-demand SAP applications a reality for our joint customers
"IBM has taken cloud computing from something I daydream about to a reality." That is what an IBM customer recently said about his experience working with IBM cloud solutions. This reality of cloud computing for SAP applications starts with an understanding of what cloud computing is meant to achieve. The increasing functional scope of SAP products and the growing interconnection of business processes have led to fairly complex, inflexible IT environments that can hinder a company's ability to quickly adapt to changing demands. The solution to this challenge is cloud computing.
Cloud computing provides a dynamic infrastructure that makes applications and computing power available on demand. It is highly optimized to achieve more with less, using virtualization, standardization and automation. Cloud computing helps companies become more agile and responsive while significantly reducing IT costs and complexity through improved workload optimization and service delivery.
IBM and SAP solutions capitalize on the comprehensive IBM portfolio of cloud computing offerings to provide integrated and seamless management across architectures and delivery models. Designed for enterprise-class customers, the IBM cloud computing portfolio covers:
- All cloud delivery models—including private clouds, hosted private clouds, public clouds and hybrid clouds built from combinations of other cloud types.
- A wide range of cloud-based services, such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS)
Cloud solutions that are down to earth
IBM SmartCloud Application Services – A new platform-as-a-service that will give enterprises the cost and time savings of a cloud environment for a wide range of enterprise applications while maintaining a high level of control and security over deployment and access. A part of these application services is IBM SmartCloud for SAP Applications. These new services automate the most common labor intensive tasks associated with managing SAP environments. The services catalog for SAP on the IBM SmartCloud provides for the automated provisioning of SAP environments and significantly reduces the cost and labor associated with SAP cloning, refreshes and patching. SAP services on the IBM SmartCloud provide production service levels and optional 24 / 7 DBA and SAP Basis support.
Benefits from our SAP in the Cloud service, include time savings such as:
- Install time of DB2 or Oracle database cut from 1 day to 12 minutes
- Maintain database libraries shrinks from 1/2 day to 8 minutes
- Clone a database drops from 2-3 days to 20 minutes
- Install of operating system reduced from 1 day to 30 minutes
- Prepare upgrade/provide SAP system down from 2-3 days to 40 minutes
- Add additional application server trimmed from 1 day to 10 minutes
- SAP systems refresh slashed from 1 – 4 days to 3 minutes
Other time improvements include

WASHINGTON (UPI) — The U.S. Department of Transportation Thursday said it was time to equip vehicles with brake-throttle override systems to prevent runaway acceleration.
The department proposed systems be installed "to ensure drivers can better stop a vehicle in the event both the brake and accelerator pedals are depressed at the same time."
The issue itself accelerated in 2009 and 2010 when 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles were recalled with widespread allegations that cars' throttles had raced unintentionally with little the driver could do to regain control.
"America's drivers should feel confident that anytime they get behind the wheel they can easily maintain control of their vehicles — especially in the event of an emergency," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in a statement.
"By updating our safety standards, we're helping give drivers peace of mind that their brakes will work even if the gas pedal is stuck down while the driver is trying to brake," he said.
The proposal specifically centers on a system that improves throttle control disconnection systems and reduces or eliminates incidents like the "accelerator pedal sticking or floor mat entrapment," the department said.
"We learned as part of the comprehensive NASA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration studies of high-speed unintended acceleration that brake override systems could help drivers avoid crashes," said NHTSA Administrator David Strickland.
The department said the public would be given 60 days to offer feedback on the proposal.

Before you file your taxes this year new requirements and some adjustments may mean changes.
Because of a delay caused by the fiscal cliff, the earliest you can submit your taxes is January 30. Depending on when you file, you may also have to wait 21 days before receiving your return.
Tax accountant Elizabeth Crane says if you're filing with an agent:
"Don't just rush into filing without having all the correct information," says Crane. "You just want to make sure you do it right the first time because amending it will take much longer and it will put you under a spotlight with the IRS, and if you can avoid that I think it's the better route to go."
If you're filing on your own:
Crane says adults with children must now prove the child lives with them to receive any Earned Income Credit.
"You have to have something from the doctors office or maybe something from the school like a report card that shows their name and their address" says Crane.

Douglas Owsley
Bachelor of Science - 1973 - Zoology
When Doug Owsley came to UW in the early '70s, his goal was a degree in zoology so he could then go into medicine or dentistry. Today, he's indeed a doctor, but most of his "patients" have been dead for years. Before completing his zoology degree, and largely due to the influence of Dr. George Gill, Owsley decided to switch to anthropology. "By the end of my junior year, I was still undecided about what field would be best and most satisfying. Fortunately, one of my course electives that year was an introduction to physical anthropology taught by Dr. Gill. I found the topic particularly exciting and the instructor enthusiastic and concerned about his students."
Gill took Owsley under his wing, inviting him on field trips in Wyoming and Mexico, experiences which made a lasting impression on Owsley and gave him thoughts of graduate study in anthropology. At a meeting of physical anthropologists, Gill introduced him to his own mentor, chair of the University of Tennessee Department of Anthropology. Through this meeting, Owsley obtained a teaching assistantship and was able to complete his master's and then, in 1978, his PhD in anthropology. He has been on the faculty in anthropology at the University of Tennessee, and in the Department of Geography and Anthropology at Louisiana State University. In 1987, he took a position as associate curator with the Department of Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute, in Washington, D.C. Today he is curator at that museum, where his focus is the investigation of human bone, both ancient (particularly the plains Indians) and modern. He is a sought-after lecturer in his field, and assists law enforcement agencies in identifying human remains and in establishing cause of death.

Tell us what you think...
The community thinks...
My perfect car by Oz on 05/26/2011. Trim: 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: panoramic sunroof, overall space and comfort, interior appointments and details, B&O audio system, can tow 4400 lbs, and ALL THE LITTLE THINGS that make a big difference (bottle holders in all doors, navi screen that also shows up in the instrument cluster, suspension that auto-adjusts when you load something on the roof rails, storage under the cargo floor, reclining rear seats, keyfob memory settings, auto-folding side mirrors, rain sensing wipers, HD radio, etc.)
Cons: A/C controls are annoying - it takes too many steps to adjust it. It has so much technology that might be confusing to some (like my wife). The ride is a little stiffer than I'd like it. The Audi dealership isn't the most attentive to customers' needs.
Overall review: Two weeks into my Q5 and I absolutely love it !! I looked at similar models from BMW, Mercedes, Volvo, Acura, Infiniti and this was the best overall. It just does everything really well. Everyone that sits inside is in awe of the massive sunroof. What I love most though, are the little things that really set it apart. For example, the rain-sensing wipers (which I initially thought was overkill) is such a neat convenience. I was driving through a thunderstorm yesterday and this was a godsend! You can focus on the road and the car takes care of the rest. So many little conveniences that I love. Also, I'm an IT guy and love technology. So I was amazed at how much of the car you can customize and tweak. There are so many things to love and not enough space here to write about it all. I would highly encourage everyone to take a look at the Q5. It's a brilliant machine and a great car to drive.

"Best small luxury SUV" by Dave, lancaster, PA on 05/14/2011. Trim: 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: Drives like a sporty car. Good gas milage for medium suv. Plows through the snow. Very stable in wet and snowy conditions.
Cons: Cargo room a bit tight, but works for me. Roof top carrier a must for long trips with kids.
Overall review: Excellent automobile. 1st car I truly love since my Acura integra GS-R in 1992. Had two muranos in the interim and this beats them hands down. This is my second Q5...my wife's. I have a 2010 6 cyl. premium plus. This 4 cyl. turbo performs equally well with better, smoother shifting from the 8 speed gear box, and better gas milage if you don't push it too hard. I would have bought the turbo 4 if they had it in 2010...less expensive with equal performance!

Perfect Combination by Shaun from Ohio on 04/24/2011. Trim: 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: The Cinnamon Brown interior is stunning. Cadillac owners are astounded when they sit in my car. Their boring interior doesn't compare. The car has plenty of space and the LED definitely gives it a nice look at night. The panorama sunroof is great for the summer, the kids love it. For a 2.0L engine this thing definitely pulls. The 2.0 is quick so its worth the boost in gas mileage over the 3.2. The steering wheel is well integrated into the audio system. Looked at the GLK, X3, RX, 3.2 and the FX and this car beat them overall. I have 3 teenage kids(2 basketball players) and they fit perfectly fine in the back. Definitely worth the money.(Compared to the cars I listed, the 2.0 is a BARGAIN)
Cons: There wasn't really a great choice in rims, thinking about something aftermarket because the choice was poor.(I have the 18s) Otherwise i dont see any problems with this car.
Overall review: If your looking for a nice SUV with all the luxury amenities, a lively engine, good gas mileage, and a captivating sound system, this is the car for you. I am a Lexus(RX) and Mercedes(GL) owner, and this car definitely is my favorite. Worth every penny and the Audi dealership is very cooperative. Great car and definitely reccomend it to anyone. DONT BUY THE NEW RX

Q5 is the best all around compact SUV by far. by Phil C on 06/22/2011. Trim: 2011 Audi Q5 3.2 Premium quattro Tiptronic, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I bought the Premium(base model) with a Panoramic Roof. I replaced the 18" wheels with 20" and had the audi back-up sensors installed. This saved about $6,000 off the price of the Prestige package. I don't have drive select (which is cool) or Nav but it doesn't bother me. I have a Nav that is better and it cost $350 at Best Buy. I can use the AUX port for my iPod. In other words, you can get almost all of the options you want for cheaper and the car looks and feels amazing. I love the interior, it looks great on the outside and it handles extremely well. Our two kids fit perfectly. Recommend 2 sets of tires anyway for folks who live in a cold weather climate like I do.
Cons: Trunk space isn't great but you can get a cargo box for about $800 that will give you all the extra space you need. I was annoyed that back-up sensors were not standard but you can have them installed for about $500. No follow the curve headlights either which would be nice.
Overall review: We have owned 2 A4s (2003 & 2007) and an A8 (2006). This car is the best of them all by far. It is just an all around perfect car for a family in the city that likes to hed out on road trips. I love to drive so the handling and performance matter to me.

A Quality Package by John on 03/30/2012. Trim: 2011 Audi Q5 3.2 Premium quattro Tiptronic, Owned 2 years.
Pros: Solidly built, with exceptional interior materials. Very car-like to drive. Some of the fun driving attributes of my previous favorite, a Subaru Legacy turbo GT wagon, but in a more rigid, high quality package.
Cons: Bizarre wheel bolt setup. It's the inverse of any vehicle i'll ever dealt with and a real pain when switching tires in the spring and fall. The studs and lugs are single piece, so you essentially have to hang the wheels by the first one you somehow manage to get into place and then support the wheel awkwardly to get the rest of them into place. Whacky. Also, somewhat unintuitive switches inside and not the best central technology interface for music and phone use.
Overall review: An excellent vehicle. It's been relatively flawless for 2 years. and when there have been slight issues, Audi Service has dealt with it very well.

Great article, Adam. I couldn't agree more with you on points 1 and 2. Over time, general guild morale suffers when 1 and 2 are not followed each and every raid. While I agree that these bosses can be "raid killers," it's more often because of how the raid leaders handle the encounters and their fellow guildmates and not the bosses themselves.
When raid leaders call you out for making stupid mistakes in front of anyone, or simply presume that you are "tired" or not paying attention without asking you privately, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth for sure. It seems like nowadays, raid leaders prefer to make an example of you in front of everyone in order to prove their point and get you to step up your game. A private tell would do wonders instead.
It should also be noted that even farmable bosses have random aspects to their fights, and raid leaders need to respect those situations as well. There's nothing like walking into a fight, expecting it to be easy, and getting your you-know-what handed to you. Then on top of that, being told that you're stupid because the guild had killed the boss previously.
Memorizing everything from bosskillers and elitisjerks does not make you a great raid leader.

Bad beer sells big: The Corona coup
Beer snobs have nothing but distaste for Corona. So why is Constellation making a killing off of the brew?
Constellation Brands (STZ), best known as a wine empire, is once again crooning about Corona.
Last year it bought all of the Mexican brewery that makes the beer and the company that imports it to the U.S. The results have been intoxicating: Profit in the recent quarter almost doubled because of a surge in Corona sales.
(Post continues below video.)
Corona is now the fifth bestselling beer in the U.S., selling more than double the amount of Heineken, the next most popular import. It's growing while the rest of the beer business is drying up or being siphoned off by new small-batch brewers. Last year, Corona sales rose 4 percent.
Here's the curious thing: Corona is not very good -- at least by most critical accounts.
After 3,200 reviews at RateBeer.com, Corona has a grade of 1.69 out of 10. The Beer Advocate gives Corona an "awful" rating of 55 out of 100 and the following description: "faded aromas of sulphur, faint skunk, mild cooked veggies."
Not only is Corona not very good -- it's one of the worst Mexican beers. Here's how the folks at Beer Advocate rank other suds from south of the border.
Bohemia 77
Negra Modelo 77
Dos Equis Amber 72
Victoria 68
Modelo Especial 66
Pacifico 63
Tecate 60
Sol 58
Oddly enough, Constellation makes and distributes four of those brews: Negra Modelo, Victoria, Modelo Especial, and Pacifico.
Granted, American drinkers guzzle a lot of beer that doesn't draw rave reviews. For example, according to Chicago research firm IRI, one in five beers downed in the U.S. is a Bud Light, hardly a go-to for beer snobs.
Bud Light and Coors Light are popular in large part because they're cheap. Corona, at $30 a case on average, is almost twice the cost of Natural Light, the No. 6 selling beer in the country.
So how has Constellation kept the Corona party going? In a word, marketing.
Crown always pushed Corona pretty hard, but Constellation has been even more aggressive with its advertising since it took over entirely in June. Specifically, it set out to boost its return in colder months.
Constellation rolled out a campaign in the fall featuring former NFL coach Jon Gruden during Monday Night Football. Meanwhile, the company cooked up a Thanksgiving promotion with Woodbridge and Butterball. The receptionists on Butterball's turkey hotline were pushing Corona as a logical pairing choice.
Constellation recently has been playing up Cinco de Mayo, a day more than any other that marks the brand's marketing coup. "We will continue to build our Corona de Mayo equity to reinforce our positioning around summer's first fiesta," Chief Executive Officer Robert Sands said during a conference call with analysts this week. Note the not-at-all subtle phrasing, "Corona de Mayo." That's like saying the "Fourth of Jack Daniels."
Of course, an emphasis on marketing isn't a new strategy in the beer business. Despite bloated advertising budgets, some of the biggest brands in the game have seen sales slip. Constellation's Corona strategy is different, however, because of its consistency. The ads don't talk about taste or hops or extra clean water. The image is not seasonal or dark or light. With the exception of the turkey promotion, the formula is simple: sand, sun, and lime wedges.
Corona isn't selling beer. It's selling the idea of having a beer on a beachside vacation. And the millions of beer drinkers who've taken a spring break trip to Cancun or hit a California taco stand don't really care what the brew tastes like.
Here's Sands again discussing that equation during a January conference call.
"We had a very consistent message to the consumer about what these products stand for year in and year out that is resonating with the consumer," he said. "That's a differentiating factor versus the competition, which has kind of been all over the place trying to find some hook with the consumer in a market that's been down overall."
Over Christmas, the company even rolled out the same tired old ad showing a palm tree strewn with holiday lights.
Much of Constellation's growth strategy now rests on pushing Corona Light, particularly in kegs to U.S. bars. And the company is thinking about cooking up a new kind of Corona with more alcohol -- a Corona Extra Extra if you will. Last week it announced more ambitious expansion plans, including as much as $1.1 billion in spending to double the capacity of its Mexican brewery.
There is some hope, however, for beer snobs. Some of Constellation's better-rated beers are growing much faster in the U.S. than its other brands. Pacifico, for example, is on more taps than any other Constellation brew. Modelo Especial posted a 20 percent increase in volume last year.
"We firmly believe Modelo Especial is the next Corona," Ryder said. We can see the tagline now: Modelo de Mayo.
More from Businessweek
I love how some people equate being a fan of craft beers to being a "snob" or some kind of "hipster" (possibly the most tediously overused adjective around today, by the way).
I am neither. I'm simply a 52-year-old regular Joe who has learned to appreciate the quality and variety of smaller craft breweries and like the idea of supporting smaller American businesses---especially those that are local. How is any of that snobbish in the least?
Oh, and that "American" Budweiser that so many seem to identify with the good 'ole USA? It's Belgian owned.
As far as Corona, I think it's godawful. But is someone else loves the stuff, go for it! I'm not judging you on your beer. Stop trying to define me by it.
What The Hell Happened?
At a recent trip to Sprouts I mentioned to the beverage manager that if the prices on all of their beers got any higher they would have to put a desk and a bank loan officer in the beer isle. Even some of the most basic domestic brews now run $7.99, $8.99 or more a six-pick and more for most imported brands... what in the Hell happened?
Unless I win the damn Powerball about all I can afford these days is PBR, which actually is not all that bad. Drink and enjoy whatever you like...but after downing the first two brewskies they pretty much all taste the same anyway. Peace to all ~

Normally, I am not a fan of Irish Breakfast tea, and Roobios gives me heartburn. This tea still does, but it is so tasty, I'm willing to risk it on occasion. Lots of milk needed, though. The berries just sneak up and present a lovely little burst of flavor, and the chai spices are not overpowering (unlike most Chai blends).

Young and old alike will enjoy making this pretty stained glass-style window ornament for Valentine's Day.
Fold a piece of waxed paper in half. Draw half a heart with the center of the heart at the fold.
Open the waxed paper and place it flat on your work surface.
Sprinkle/place the crayon shavings on the waxed paper. Little ones may sprinkle randomly, while older kids may want to make a pattern with the shavings. A light layer of shavings works best.
Cover the waxed paper with an additional piece of waxed paper. Put a paper towel on top of the waxed paper (this will protect your iron), then have an adult iron the two layers of waxed paper together on low heat.
Cut out the heart image. Punch a hole near the top of your heart and thread a string through the hole for hanging the heart. Hang it in front of a window so the light can shine through.

New York passes tough post-massacre gun law
®Copyright MediaCorp
New York has passed what supporters called the toughest gun ownership law in the country, becoming the first US state to impose new restrictions in the wake of last month's elementary school massacre in Connecticut.
The measures, which include a full ban on sales of military-style rifles, are linked directly to the national horror at the 14th of December massacre of 20 six- and seven-year-olds and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Those killings sparked a major national debate over the need for curbing America's liberal gun laws.
President Barack Obama has also said he would unveil his own proposals later today.

Block/Charge (Secondary Defender): During this example, the secondary defender (#11 white jersey) is able to establish a legal guarding position outside of the restricted area and in the path of the offensive player prior to the offensive player leaving the floor. The end line replay gives great perspective from the lead position.
Dead Ball Officiating: Following the whistle for a common foul, notice the actions of the two defensive players (#25 white jersey) & (#10 white jersey). The penalty and administration should be addressed immediately by the crew. This is an example of a need for team officiating during a dead ball period.
Game Management: Use this example to discuss game management and maintaining a high level of concentration throughout the entire game. Following a made free-throw and substitution, notice the 6 offensive players (red jerseys). It is important to make eye contact with your partners prior to putting the ball in play during these types of scenarios. This is a team officiating play, with shared responsibility from all 3 officials on the floor. In the words of one of my mentors, if your crew allows 6 on the floor, the entire city of Tyler and surrounding areas will know within 30 minutes of the game ending that your crew let 6 on the floor. Not a good conversation. Just slow everything down, count all players, and communicate.

By LORI TUCKER 6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Michael Holtz tries to give 110 percent for each workout.
He's gained weight over the last few years while battling, then beating, cancer.
Holtz, who works at the American Cancer Society as the advocacy and federal issues director, says he never dreamed he would wage the war on the disease himself.
He was diagnosed close to two years ago with Stage 3 rectal cancer.
Radiation and oral chemotherapy, followed by surgery last fall, saved his life, but it also changed his life forever.
"The tumor was so extensive that they had to remove my entire rectum," Holtz explains, "which meant that I had to have a permanent colostomy bag."
Doctors surgically created an opening in his abdomen to allow urine and waste to leave his body.
"I was a little freaked out at first, but I'm still here," Holtz says with a smile.
He decided not to let these changes run his life, let alone ruin it.
That attitude is an inspiration to his friends and his personal trainer, Brittany Cole, of Frankie's Body Shop in North Knoxville.
Cole designed some grueling workouts to whip Holtz back into shape.
"Hey! Someone with cancer that survived it and wants a butt-kicking on a regular basis is coming in," Cole exclaims.
Holtz says his boot camp-style workouts and a healthy diet have helped him shed 20 pounds.
He has also gained a lot of energy.
This has happened while exercising five times a week at an intense level, despite the ever-present colostomy bag.
As he explains, "The products, the appliances, are engineered so that you can live, you can swim, you can run, you can do serious exercise."
Holtz is certainly putting it to the test.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
His message is that anything is possible if you work for it.
"You can have a life," Holtz says, "and have a colostomy bag."

The truth is that the food what we consume contains a certain amount
of toxins
Tinned food, soft drinks, water, etc. contain toxins that reduce
our immunity , resulting in reducing the lifespan by causing various
ailments. We become prone to heart problems, liver disorders, diabetes,
respiratory disorders etc., which we get to know at a critical stage.
Allopathic medicines, tobacco, alcohol etc carry a reasonable amount
of toxins which are unknown to common man. In today's world the fruits
and vegetables which are supposed to nourish our body are contaminated
with pesticides, chemicals and hormones used for its cultivation
and preservation. Refrigerated food gets toxic when repeatedly exposed
to heat. Milk, meat and other nutritious food fed to infants contains
pathetic factors which lead to obesity. All these factors play a
key role in early ageing and weakening.
This makes the need of visharasayana therapy all the more compulsory
and unavoidable by which all the toxins can be expelled.
This treatment helps to those who seek healthy life in this toxic
world. This helps in chronic patients by cleansing their body. This
makes the drugs used by them to act more effectively on their illness.

KELLY OSBOURNE flaunted her trim figure in a skintight Zac Posen gown as she walked the red carpet at the 2012 Emmy Awards.
Check her out:
After working her butt off to shed her baby fats, the now-svelte Brit has no problem showing off her dramatic weight loss transformation in sexy, figure-hugging dresses that accentuate her super slim physique.
For the Emmys, Kelly Osbourne chose a fitted, one-shouldered purple Zac Posen gown, which not only emphasized her tiny waist but also complemented her gray-tinged lavender hair.
She accessorized with a black Judith Leiber clutch and Martin Katz jewelry.
A low ponytail, wine red lips, and lavender eye makeup finished the look.
What do you think of Kelly's red carpet outfit?

text: I'm beginning to believe that Marvin doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to drafting RBs. Our need for a RB does not justify us using a 2nd rd pick when we have so many defensive needs. I questioned the selection of Chris Perry years ago and I don't see this guy giving us anything that Kenny Watson can't provide in the very limited time the guy will get on the field. Too many good defensive players left when we take this guy especially when we have no 3rd rd pick. He may be a good player, but not justified at this point in the draft.

1. Marry art and wall. Adler points out that although most people would leave this ebony tile wall bare, he favors the opposite: hanging a piece of art here. Art against tile instead of a plain wall works like a beautiful marriage, he says; they complement and elevate each other.by Sterling Publishing
2. Do your doorknobs right. The entry is your opening statement to guests; an unsightly doorknob prevents the space from soaring. As Adler says, the doorknob is the first thing people touch, so make every single knob in the house count.by Sterling Publishing
3. Embrace irreverence. Adler's husband, Simon Doonan, defaced this vintage George Washington print by adding personal touches (eyepatch, moustache, red lips and — wait for it — a Prince symbol pendant). "You tire easily when you're serious all the time. You can put a twist on pretty much everything. Nothing's too sacred," says Adler.by Sterling Publishing
4. Listen to the tingling of wood chimes. The yin to Adler's usually spirited yang, wind chimes signal a kind of winding down to the mind and, according to the designer, are best admired at dusk. In addition to encouraging listening to chimes colliding, Adler also advocates napping in odd corners and nooks, having afternoon tea like the Brits and spoiling yourself outside of a special occasion.by Sterling Publishing
5. Go for all black. There's nothing more fabulous than heading out of the house dressed in head-to-toe black than a room — or an entire house — painted in ebony. Adler says that the less fabulous something seems it would look painted black, the more glamorous it will actually be in black.by Sterling Publishing
6. Show a little wear and tear. These citrine French industrial lamps display what Adler calls "war wounds," showing the scratches and dings of its past life. Preloved and well-worn decor elevates a space and bares its soul. As in home decor, Adler recommends choosing friends with a few dings, too.by Sterling Publishing
7. Turn the bookshelf into a composition. "Don't think of the bookshelf as a repository. Keep your shelves vital and integrated," says Adler. He enlivened the bookshelf in this home, using it as a large-scale focal point and mixing art, lighting, textures and other "un-bookish things," as he calls them, with reading material.by Sterling Publishing
"You don't always have to spend money to 'happy chic' your life. You can start by rearranging your furniture — there's never one right placement," says Adler, shown here.by Sterling Publishing
Adler says that although his lifestyle and design tome is all about bringing joy into the home, his work as a designer is anything but constant cheer.by Sterling Publishing
"I work really hard as a designer, and I'm borderline tortured, à la Vincent van Gogh," he says. "I work hard to make things that look effortlessly put together and also happen to bring joy into people's lives."

Not too shabby-5 out of 7 I've put into practice. The 2nd suggestion about the doorknobs was something I've never thought about before. I've always loved dressing in black (so slimming) but have never dressed a room in black, yet. I change furniture arrangements seasonally. Perhaps I'm just easily bored or have a short attention span, or both.
"Chic, bold and memorable" a guide to the good life!

A little custom patchwork can make you happy. http://custm.co/hz/121
We have a rosewood dining table and chairs. The room is, wait for it, BLACK. I chose it because it brings out the near-black grain of the beautiful rosewood. It is scandinavian and ultra modern, in stark contrast the the rest of our home, which is very traditional. I enjoy the contrast.

I think Another way to add a happy feel to your home is replace the dining chairs and table with bar stools. Their contemporary style adds elegance to the dining room. And somehow they remind you of bars and happy times in a way.
lost all credibility on the wind chime recommendations...nothing more irritating in the world

Angelina Jolie on the streets of Manhattan in New York City.
I have an event in Dallas tonight and it is "casual chic". I borrowed a pair of pants from a friend and I'm not sure if they are cheesy or not. The are black and split at the knee so when you walk it is almost like having a dress on. Any thoughts???

Hot is relative, my dear. Look at Jennifer Aniston, poor little spud-faced thing. Eyes like a Siberian husky, she has. And yet some people just adore her looks, and think she's a Greek goddess in the manner of Aphrodite or Persephone. Then there's Sarah Jessica Parker. Someone at Vogue must have thought she was pretty, because they put her on the cover a few months back.

Players did not demand Rs.5 crores for World Cup win: BCCI
New Delhi: The Indian cricket board on Wednesday rubbished media reports of players demanding Rs.5 crores each as a bonus for winning the World Cup.
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary N.Srinivasan told IANS that the report was baseless and unfounded.
"We have no news about it. Half the reports coming out in the media are baseless. There is no substance in this report," said Srinivasan.
A daily, quoting an unnamed top player, said that the players wanted Rs.5 crores each as bonus. Immediately after the win, the BCCI had announced a cash award of Rs.1 crore for each player.
"We are not greedy for money...There is no harm in asking for more since the Board will earn thousands of crores after India's victory. A player's life is very uncertain. Who knows what will happen next," the daily quoted the unnamed player as saying.
The player also objected to BCCI's decision to award support staff like the logistics manager with Rs.50 lakhs. For the record, the Spanish football federation awarded each footballer of the 2010 World Cup winning team the equivalent of Rs.3.85 crores.

Because the drink just can't keep you warm enough, the Snuggie Pub Crawl is coming to Atlanta this weekend.
The ideas is to wear the as-seen-on-TV robe-blanket-snugglebunny device while you stroll around with a cocktail. No, no, they're not just for reading or watching TV! I don't know if you're supposed to take yourself seriously while you do this, but the Snuggie Pub Crawl is clearly a Thing That People Do.
Here's a video from an NYC Snuggie Pub Crawl:
Where will this bar hop be going? A string of Virginia Highland favorites — Limerick Junction from 1-3 p.m., Dark Horse from 3-4 p.m., Atkins Park from 4-5 p.m., Hand & Hand from 5-6 p.m., Neighbors from 6-7 p.m., followed by an after party at Blind Willie's starting at 7 p.m.
For the record, I'll be hanging out elsewhere Saturday night. The Snuggie and Schnapps crowd is a bit wild for me.
Want to go? Snuggie Pub Crawl, 1-8 p.m. Feb. 6. Virginia-Highland bars. $5 in advance, $10 at the door. www.atlantabartours.com.

- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 pound frisee, curly endive, or chicory
- 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- Toast the nuts in a large, dry skillet over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove the nuts. Cut the bacon into 1/2-inch pieces and add to the skillet. Cook over medium heat until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Whisk the oil, mustard, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Tear the frisee into small pieces and place in a serving bowl. Add the bacon, nuts, and goat cheese. Toss the salad with the dressing.
- Note: It's worth spending more for frisée, because it doesn't wilt easily. But you can also mix it with less expensive curly endive or chicory. To serve 30 people, double this recipe, but set aside half the dressing and greens for late guests.

Your Bag Is Empty.
$41 $20
Your destiny is calling! It's time to show off those curves with the Meant to Be Off-the-Shoulder Pink Dress! A Bertha neckline with short sleeves creates an off-the-shoulder look that's sexy yet sophisticated. This date-worthy dress continues with a form-fitting knit skirt plus front and back darts to pump up the sex appeal. Hidden back zipper. Unlined. Model is wearing a size small. 74% Rayon, 22% Nylon, 4% Spandex. Hand Wash Cold. Made with Love in the U.S.A.
How it fit:
"This makes me look and feel like a knockout. One of my favourite dresses in my closet now, I just want to wear it all the time."
How it fit:
"I am 5'4" and I will have to hem the dress because it falls below my knees but its not bad for purchasing it as a sale price. I am also about 130 lbs so the Large fit well because sizes run small for juniors. Fits well."
How it fit:
"I wore this to a friend's wedding. The reviews I received from the boyfriend, friends and strangers were raving! I loved the fit- it really is a classy and feminine look. I wore a slim white belt with gold accents to add a bit of contrast between the bodice and the bottom. Paired with a summery heel. I would recommend this dress to anyone for any special occasion."
How it fit:
"I needed a dress for a Barbie monologue I was doing and I got this dress and it was perfect!"
How it fit:
"Oh my! The best 2 words I could ever describe in this dress is *simply amazing* in terms of quality, length (I'm 5'3 BTW) , looks classy and look exactly as pictured. The only downfall for me is that since I'm skinny (95lbs.,), it's a little baggy right on the hips which means this would look great on ladies with too much going on in their waist/hips :). Anyhow, I looove it! I love it that I wanna buy the black one! So please Lulu, bring back the black (S) in stock ASAP! :)"
How it fit:
"I absolutely love this dress. It is true to size. I did have to get it altered because I am only 5'0. This dress is very flattering and I got so many compliments on it!! Its definitely a must have!"

My Love Affair With Nutella
Celebrate Nutella Day on February 5th!
Opa and Me
One quick glance at my backside, and you will see that my love affair with that sinfully, chocolatey, delicious hazelnut spread has gone on for a long time. REALLY long time. My parents emigrated to America from Germany in the 1960's, shortly before I was born. They left everyone behind, and headed for the promised land of California. My Opa Pangratz, fearing the culinary deprivations we would be experiencing in this Wonder Bread and Peanut Butter wasteland, would send us care packages several times a year filled with German treats. Those packages were amazing. The postman would have to carry that heavy box to the house. A big box, wrapped in stiff brown paper, wrapped in twine with elaborate knots. The outside was covered in loads of fancy stamps and serious looking customs declarations. But inside… Mom used to untie the knots and save the twine. The anticipation would kill us! Finally the box would be open, and we could smell Germany. There was always a layer of paper over the content, and when it was lifted away, we'd finally get to see what was inside…Chocolates, Gummi Bears, and of course, jars and jars of Nutella. OH MAN! I used to put it on everything…. mom even caught me putting it on my cereal once….. But the best way to eat it, is to just dig in to the jar with a big spoon. Savor it in your mouth. MMMMMMMmmmmm Let it fill your senses. Let the world wash away.
Thank goodness my Opa loved us enought to keep us supplied with these treats. That was the kind of guy he was- always had candy tucked away in his pockets for kids who had a sweet tooth. Opa would come to live with us three months out of every year… generally in the winter, to get away from the cold. As a child, I loved it. He taught us games, taught me to tie my shoes, and took me on walks. In his old life he was a leather worker, and he still used the tools to make things for us. Never a stranger, he made friends everywhere he went. He travelled the world on his own, was a HUGE soccer fan, and was devoted to his Catholic Church. He would send his care packages, not just to us, but also to family in East Germany who weren't able to buy some of the every day things we all took for granted. After meeting a nun on a plane, he also supplied an orphanage in India with sweet treats, and everyday neccessities. My Opa wasn't a man rich in money, but he was rich in heart and generosity.
When he passed away, my mom went to Germany to clean out his apartment. There, she found one last care package with our name on it.
I think my love affair with Nutella is tied to my memory of my Opa. One spoonfull, and I'm a kid again, anticipating opening that wonderful package, feeling his love.
