Our goal, to put it simply, was to out-Candela Candela," says Kevin Lichten, the architect who, working in close collaboration with the designer Sandra Nunnerley, oversaw the rehabilitation of a classic prewar apartment on the upper reaches of Park Avenue. "Gifted though Rosario Candela was, there were buildings he designed for developers where the individual apartments lacked a certain amplitude, or flourish. This tends to happen when you build without a specific client in mind. We thought of ourselves as Candela designing for this actual family—we tried to see them, and the apartment, through his eyes."
The clients, a professional couple seeking a base in New York after many years in Hong Kong, approached Nunnerley and Lichten with a well-considered program. Because they would be supervising the work from afar, they wanted two strong—and strong-minded —design professionals who would challenge each other to do their best work. The much-invoked words understated elegance were offered as a design dictum, but in this case they came with an unexpected specificity: "We wanted the apartment to reflect our years in the East," says the wife. "The aesthetic is very meaningful to us. There's a subtlety and a cleanliness to Asian furniture, ceramics and art that we grew accustomed to in Hong Kong and hoped to integrate into our home in New York."
"We wanted the apartment to reflect our years in the East," says the wife. "The aesthetic is very meaningful to us."
At the same time, the couple and their three children needed the apartment to accommodate a busy urban family life. Predictably, this meant that they needed a family room and a welcoming kitchen, places where both the wife and the husband could work from home, and a variety of technological amenities and creature comforts that were unheard of in the early 20th century but, at a certain level, were fundamental in the 21st. Yet modern though they are, the family has a policy that is a throwback to the apartment's origins: They dine together formally whenever possible, in a room used only for this purpose, and without cooking chores or TV intruding on their cherished time together.
What all this boded for the apartment was a rethinking from the walls in. In theory it meant that room assignment, size, proportion and detail were all up for grabs; in practice, the butler's pantry and multiple servants' quarters were opened up into a family room, a more capacious kitchen and a single housekeeper's room; a paneled library was installed; moldings everywhere were "taken up a notch," as Nunnerley puts it; and, naturally, systems were updated throughout.
For Nunnerley, what set this project apart was the close interplay between architecture, design and the clients' collection. "I must confess it's one of my favorite things, to work with existing furniture," she says. "It gives you a point of view to begin with and makes the home much more personal and vital in the end." Indeed, such was the clients' thoroughness that, at Nunnerley's request, they prepared a catalogue of the Asian furniture they had found in Hong Kong and the European furniture they had inherited, enabling her to tighten the relationship between the rooms and the objects that stood in them.
Consider the living room, for example, which is anchored by a pair of Chinese cabinets the couple found in Hong Kong. "Kevin and I fitted them very carefully into a wall that serves two purposes. It provides a dramatic frame to the dining room, and it balances the fireplace wall, which has its own strong anchor in the 19th-century mantel."
Even with these clever calculations, however, a Nunnerley interior is about more than deft placement and precise proportion. She is uninterested in making period re-creations. Her rooms are modern in the way the furniture is conceived and combined and in the way they confidently draw from various epochs: The mantel, for instance, acquires a sculptural quality when it is paired with a crisp 1940s mirror and a cluster of 1940s French vases. "Rooms that are all one thing or another," she says firmly, "are dead."
The much-used dining room further demonstrates the apartment's prevailing, and close, collaborative spirit: When Nunnerley saw the couple's striking 18th-century yoke-back Chinese chairs, she saw to it that the wainscoting was pitched high enough so that no horizontal line would bisect their impeccably graphic forms. This kind of subtly graceful manipulation of the vocabulary of interior design is a perfect example of why clients turn to knowing professionals.
Noted for her sharply tailored interiors, Nunnerley recognizes when to leave well enough alone. The dramatic Chinese canopy bed required little embellishment, except perhaps for a well-chosen Matisse work on paper of—what else?—a nude in repose. The good-size entrance hall wanted little more than a graphic marble floor and a strong Baltic table. The husband's library, by contrast, needed to have its rich cabinetry arrayed with objects that could meet the woodwork in quality and presence—hence the collection of Ming ceramic equestrians that she helped her clients assemble.
Back to "understated elegance": Are those really the most apt words? "I'd say Zen,' myself, if it didn't suggest something more spartan than we ended up with here," Nunnerley observes. "How about marrying East with West'? Or refined tranquillity'? That summarizes the clients—and their apartment too."

The Stow-Munroe Falls Lions Club is undertaking a project for students -- one that hopefully is never needed.
"Adopt A Classroom - With A Safety Bucket" is being called "a good investment for our community that we hope is never used" by Lion member Denise Tonelli and chair of the project.
The plan is to supply each classroom in Stow and Munroe Falls with a 5-gallon bucket filled with medical supplies and tools that a teacher could use in case of an emergency. The buckets are meant to provide immediate assistance to students before safety responders are able to arrive.
Lions Club president Marty Dennis said the group decided to take on the project after she had conversations with her daughter, a teacher at Riverview Elementary, and with Brimfield Police Chief David Oliver, whose department undertook a similar project earlier this year.
Speaking of recent school shootings, "We hate to think of it happening but it seems almost inevitable in this country," said Dennis. "Some may say [the project] is overkill, but we believe it seems necessary."
Dennis also noted the items could be used in other instances, like an accident or an ill child in the classroom.
Tonelli said Kimpton Middle School principal Jim Saxer and Betty Bradshaw, an administrative assistant in the district's central office, met with school staff to come up with ideas of what to put in the buckets, which will be kept in each classroom within a teacher's reach. The list included medical items, tools and non-perishables.
Saxer said district personnel definitely support the project. "We're talking about ensuring the safety of our students in their classrooms."
Tonelli said the committee has been narrowing the list of bucket items down with the help of Stow Police Chief Louis Dirker and Officer Jim Barker and Stow Fire Chief William Kalbaugh.
"There are no frills -- it's an essential items list," said Tonelli, who is joined by Lion member Dale Fawcett on the project.
The committee is working with local businesses and groups such to fill the buckets by donating or purchasing the necessary items. Tonelli noted the committee was looking for ways to keep the cost down but still supply the needed items.
One example was instead of buying individual blankets for around $8 each, the group will purchase a large amount of fleece material and cut it to size, reducing the cost to less than $3 each. An Akron-based business, American Made Bags, has offered to provide the bags to keep the buckets covered at about $2.25 each, which will include screen printing of donors' names.
With more than 400 Safety Buckets needed, the Lions are also asking the community to help. They have created the "Adopt A Classroom" for $25, which will cover the materials for one bucket.
To help with the project or for more information, contact Tonelli at email@example.com or 330-687-8880. Checks made payable to the Stow-Munroe Falls Lions Club Safety Bucket Program can be mailed to the Lions Club at 1732 Westport Cove, Stow 44224.
Borrowing from the Boy Scout motto, Tonelli, a teacher in Kent, said, "Be prepared -- but hope you never use it."

LONDONDERRY costume design and interpretation student Aileen Faller has done it again.
The talented daughter of Finola Faller who is currently a student at Wimbledon College of Art, has been picked as one of a small band of new young talent to design costumes for a fashionably exclusive exhibition celebrating the Tudor and Stuart Royal Houses in the Queen's Gallery, situated in the south west corner of Buckingham Palace gardens. It will open in mid-May.
The exhibition is being curated by Anna Reynolds and is in collaboration with Royal Collection Trust.
For her part, Aileen has been commissioned to reproduce the finery worn by Queen Catherine Parr, the last wife of King Henry VIII, in the Master John portrait of 1545, which hangs in the National Portrait Gallery.
Excited by the project, Aileen said: "The designs are part of a festival of the Tudors and Stuarts and will take place on May 18 in the Queen's Gallery. It is not open to the public and is for invited guests only and it is the first time in the history of the Gallery that they are putting on a fashion display.
"In October last year we were each given an image and we had to go off and research it and hand in a project design. We have to produce every aspect of the image and everything about the dress and the pattern and now they worn it has to be incorporated. I have a budget of £300 to do this, but whenever I initially went into fashion houses and told them how much I had to spend and what I had to achieve, they laughed at me. The dress I have to reproduce needs over 40 metres of fabric. I have to produce everything, the jewellery, the head dress, everything, and it cannot be cotton like we have today, it has to reflect the fabric of the period. I have to make even the shoes and undergarments.
"When I was asked to take part I just could not believe it. I am so excited. I am allowed to take two guests to the event and we all have to have a special model who must look like the subjects we are working on, so I have to find a model that looks quite like Catherine Parr. It's not easy but I am really enjoying it. There are 1,800 pearls which I have to individually put on by hand and I have had to screen print the fabric to make the pattern for the garment so I have had to make a one-off pattern never to be found again."
Aileen is among around 100 students taking part in the project to create historically accurate reconstructions of Tudor and Stuart fashion, alongside their own eclectic interpretations. Tudor and Stuart courts were renowned for their sumptuous costume. The exhibition explores how 16th and 17th Century fashion was used to carry meaning and convey important messages about wealth, social position, marital status and even religion. Costume was used as visual propaganda to present monarchs as leaders of taste and to create the image of magnificence.
The curator for the exhibition is Anna Reynolds, curator of Paintings at the Royal Collection.
'In Fine Style: The Art of Tudor and Stuart Fashion' brings together more than 60 paintings, as well as drawings, jewellery, garments, accessories and armour.

ALEXANDER'S life story is the stuff of legends, full of gods and heroes, love and war, murder and betrayal, adventure and conquest.
The Great man's exploits are revealed at a new exhibition in Sydney.
Battle commander at 16 and king at 20, Alexander began his conquests aged 23 and carved out an empire stretching from Greece to India.
When he died in 323BC at just 32, he was already a legend: physically beautiful, highly intelligent, a military genius and perhaps a megalomaniac.
Alexander the Great's cultural legacy remains across Greece, the Middle East and Asia, his tactics are still taught in military academies, and Hollywood moviemakers keep his legend alive.
Google has recorded 432 million searches for Alexander the Great, an ancient who continues to intrigue the modern world.
There are many reasons, then, to see Alexander the Great: 2000 Years of Treasures at the Australian Museum.
It showcases 400 works of art spanning more than two millennia, on loan from the State Hermitage in St Petersburg.
The first thing you see - a series of 17th-century French engravings depicting Alexander's life - sets the bar for the high quality of every item.
A section devoted to Alexander's times is truly jaw-dropping. It features helmets, marble statues, arrow cases etched in gold and delicate jewellery - all a miracle to have survived nearly 2500 years.
Then an outline of Alexander's campaigns follows. The remarkable journey of 45,000km across inhospitable landscapes is well explained in videos and on touch screens.
Byzantine, Persian and Islamic treasures from conquered lands show how prosperity spread, and Eastern and Western cultures blended, during this period.
The second half of the exhibition charts Alexander the Great's rise as one of the most painted, sculpted, written-about and admired figures in history.
Displays range from Roman times to the 19th century, from enormous tapestries and paintings to tiny cameos and Persian miniatures.
A glorious bronze mantel clock topped by a figure of Alexander in a helmet is among the highlights.
Really, the only dissatisfying part of the exhibition is the final room, which takes a perfunctory look at modern depictions of Alexander in movies, books and video games.
It seems unnecessary and, after the superlative quality of what came before, finishes on a tawdry note.
Never mind. It's rare to have the chance to see such fabulous objects, and nobody will leave disappointed.
Indeed, you'll probably be inspired and, if so, there's no reason your Alexander experience has to finish at the museum.
Walk across Hyde Park to the well-regarded Greek restaurant Xanthi and you can enjoy a special Tastes of Alexander meal.
Owner David Tsirekas has researched ingredients and flavours available in Alexander's day to bring his era alive.
It's a meat-heavy meal for summer but a fascinating culinary journey into history among Byzantine-inspired surrounds of glass lamps, billowing gold curtains and kilims.
The five-course meals starts with a delicious entree of walnuts, dates and Greek cheeses, wrapped in a cloth package as if you're about to head off on campaign.
It's accompanied by warm flatbread and olives and, in a nice touch, a map of Alexander's journeys.
This is simple food of the early Macedonians, but the meal becomes richer as Alexander's army encounters the spices and complexities of Persian fare.
Novelties introduced to Greece at the time included peppercorns, rice and sweet Asian apples from which modern apples descend.
The second course is a Persian stew of spicy lamb, lentils and pomegranate, accompanied by mead recreated from ancient recipes.
Chicken stuffed with quail, apples and pistachios follows, then braised beef stuffed with prunes, accompanied by a citrus pilaf. Each is matched with Greek wines.
The final course celebrates the death of Alexander and might just about finish you off, too - in a good way.The orange syrup cake is decorated with pistachios coated in gold dust, while a preserved orange segment symbolises Alexander's shield.
You could say it's a meal fit for a king - or a conqueror.

Stock Trading Ideas For Wednesday February 22
( click to enlarge )
Dendreon Corporation (DNDN) seems to be on its way to recovery from the recent drop. The stock price has been falling on low volume for about 2 weeks now. I know I thought that $15 was a great buying opportunity, but I still think it is time to buy. A quick look at the daily chart of DNDN shows us that:
- The stock price has been making higher lows since January.
- The volume of transactions has been increasing substantially over the last 2 months.
- The 50 daily moving average is turning up for the first time since July 2010
- DNDN saw its short interest decrease by seven percent to 32,321,800 from 34,768,300.
- My expectation is for DNDN to rise back up to 15.21-16$ and then break out above 17.05
- This scenario would be cancelled if the price falls below 12
There is a resistance level that needs to be crossed to give rise to the next leg up. The buy trigger is at $14.66. If we can cross this level next week, the stock should continue its move up. Stay tuned !!
( click to enlarge )
MGIC Investment Corp (MTG) had another very productive day as we saw gains of over 5% and I believe it has more room to run. The short-term outlook remains positive for the stock. The stock finds an immediate resistance at 5.41 and support at 4.67 followed by 4.5
( click to enlarge )
Garmin Ltd.(GRMN) made a 52-week high but gave back some gains. If it can close above $45.62, then expect more upside. The technical chart shows GRMN is on a strong bull market as the stock is trading above 50 day and 200 day moving with both moving average pointing upwards. I think the stock should continue to go up.
( click to enlarge )
Sequenom, Inc (SQNM) - The insider seems to be bullish about the company with numerous purchases from directors and officers. The most recent purchase was around end of last year with about 100.000 shares. As long as the support holds at $4.35, I don't think its a problem to include this stock in your short to medium term portfolio.
( click to enlarge )
Mitcham Industries, Inc. (MIND) closed at $24.61 on Tuesday, up $1.87 for the day. The stock made a strong upside reversal. The technical chart above suggests that stock might find now resistance at $24.86. Only a close above this level would suggest further upside. Remain invested with a stop loss at $22.51.

Breast Reconstruction Fast Facts
- More than 22,000 women lost their breast in 2010 and did not have the insurance for reconstruction. How many years has this figure been growing?
- Now My Hope Chest helps "Insured Survivors" too, assisting payments of large deductibles to make their surgery possible.
- The cost of a typical reconstruction for an uninsured individual at a "cash pay" rate is $25,000. ranges upwards of $45,000 and requires a hospital stay of 3-5 day acquire breast reconstruction surgery?
- My Hope Chest helps "uninsured and under insured" survivor that fall through the cracks…. Insurance covers but many insured are applicants due to the lack of CO-Pay funds ranging from $2500- $5,000.

HOPATCONG — A borough resident is accused of harassing a waitress at Joey's Pizza after repeatedly asking her out, police said Wednesday.
Mohamed Chaudhary, 24, had already left the pizzeria when patrols arrived after being called for an out-of-control customer. Employees said the customer, who was later identified as Chaudhary, was being incredibly vulger while repeatedly asking the waitress to go on a date, yelling at a male employee for trying to stop him from hitting on her, yelling at other customers in the store and cursing about the food.
The responding officer found Chaudhary inside a nearby Rite Aid. Chaudhary was arrested, taken to headquarters, charged and later released. He was advised that he was not allowed back into Joey's Pizza and if he returns, he will be charged with

The Medical Project consists of 3 main areas of work
The Clinics - The role of the volunteer within a clinic is to provide back up and assistance to a very understaffed medical establishment. The main roles within clinics are "baby weighing" and taking "vitals"; blood pressure, temperature and weight of a patient before they see the clinical officer. Volunteers will also be providing basic education on a variety of different subjects through "Health Talks".
Rural Home Based Care - Our volunteers accompany community volunteers as they visit bed ridden or immobile patients across Livingstone, many of whom are suffering from HIV/AIDS. It is their duty to provide basic advice, comfort and assistance to members of the community with little to no access to clinics or hospitals. This may mean basic First Aid or chatting to patients about the importance of hygiene, a healthy diet and exercise. Home Based Care is also about assisting those incapable of taking care of themselves by making a patient's bed, doing a bit of simple house work for them, and generally trying to improve their circumstance in the most basic yet effective way.
Maramba Old People's Home - Medical volunteers provide general assistance to the elderly residents to make their every day lives easier. The home is poorly funded by the government and the residents mostly have no family or carers to look after them. Volunteers also provide a friendly face to these people who have little entertainment or interaction by going armed with games, puzzles and a smile! Please note: You must ensure that you bring originals or certified copies of your medical qualifications in order for you to be allowed to work in specialized sections of maternity wards or laboratories.
Afternoon community projects:
After having spent the morning in a Clinic or Home Based Care Project, you will help out the local community in different areas in the afternoon. You will rotate between the following community projects:
- Build/paint/refurbish schools and clinics
- Elephant Pepper Project
- Home Based Care/Farming
- Reading Club
- Art Club
- Adult Literacy Club.
Note: Please note that if you prefer to spend every, or several, afternoons a week helping out in the clinics instead of working on the community projects, this can be arranged.
- What's the age limit: minimum age limit 18 years old, maximum 40 years
- What is the minimum stay: 2 weeks
- Where exactly is it: Livingstone, Zambia
- What will I be doing: Volunteering in clinics and working on community projects in Livingstone.
Prices from: £890/€1160/$1605.

Off duty policeman rescues woman from Pontevedra river
An off duty National Police officer and Olympic canoeist rescued a 61 year old woman from the Pontevedra river in Galicia on Monday morning. He was training in his canoe when he saw her having difficulties in the water.
He jumped in and, supporting her head, swam with her to the edge. Once there, he proceeded with resuscitation techniques, then put her on her side to expel any water from her lungs.

As news broke last year that Adobe was dropping support for Flash as a video streaming option, it was the final nail in the coffin for a well used streaming tool that has always been ravenous in devouring processor power and memory. Steve Jobs referred to Flash as being from a bygone era of "PCs and Mice." He also said that Apple had learned from a Painful experience that third party applications like Flash were bad for the mobile experience, has severe security issues, and were simply hogs on battery life and processor power. Jobs had concluded that HTML5 was the future of the mobile video experience and Apple would do everthing they could to support it.
But two years after Jobs published his seminal thoughts on Flash, has HTML5 advanced to the point where it can truly take over for streaming video applications? In a new State of HTML5 report, engineers at LongTail video have performed exhaustive tests between Flash and HTML5 video to see if the newcomer is ready to replace the old guard. Their results are pretty telling.
According to the LongTail report, about 2/3s of the streaming market is now supporting HTML5. That's certainly good news. But the report goes on to say that the largest segment of the internet market – 28% – still uses Internet Explorer (vs. 6-8) and as such, Flash is still needed for those users and will be need to be supported for several years. Since they do not support HTML5, Flash is critical for video playback. Other browsers, like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have made the transition and support HTML5 video.
The real driving force behind HTML5 development is the mobile world, where lower power iOS and Android devices are able to stream video using the new spec. And while Android still supports Flash, Google recently announced that future versions of the OS will not have the Flash plugin anymore. And as previously stated, even Adobe has seen the handwriting on the wall, announcing late last year that it would phasing out Flash. That leaves the field wide open for HTML5 to assert itself. But there's a roadblock … format fragmentation.
There are so many formats, and wrappers, that are both proprietary and open source that HTML5 is working overtime to be all things to all people. The challenge is that browsers running HTML5 seem to be split between MP4 and a format called WebM. Mobile devices, by contrast, support MP4 exclusively. Then there's the case of tagging attributes in video playback. Most tags – like height, width, preload, loop, and autoplay are supported in most browsers, but are limited on mobile platforms. Then there's full screen playback, which the the report says is largely in it's infancy in HTML5 development, with most platforms either supporting limited full-screen playback or not at all. And Accessibility issues are barely on HTML5s radar, with only Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera supporting keyboard access only. And only a few have committed to closed captioning for playback.
But make no mistake, the day is coming that HTML5 will take over. With both Apple and Google acting as the driving forces behind it's development (seems like it's the only thing they agree on these days), HTML5 is the future of video distribution on the Internet. It's just going to take time before it's ready to fill the vacuum left by Flash's imminent departure.

Well 'Made-in-Taiwan' for a better tomorrow
By Dimitri Bruyas, Supplement Writer Monday, December 5, 2011, 12:01 pm TWN
Gov't-sponsored MIT Certification
One of the best things about the MIT certification system is that it gives companies a chance to improve their products. Those that do not pass the strict assessments are given guidance by the government.
"With the assurance that the MIT logo offers, consumers can have peace of mind when they purchase MIT-certified products that come in close contact with their skin, especially undergarments and towels," said Y. K. Wang (汪雅康), chairman of the Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI, 紡織產業綜合研究所).
"Weeding out products that do not meet local and international standards eventually helps build a good image for locally made products," he added. "It is important not to confuse the branding with any Taiwan-made products. Only those that pass the strict certification process can use the government's smiley face logo."
Wang also noted that the MIT label has helped protecting the interest of the local textile industry, which consists of clothing, undergarments, swimsuits and sweaters, following the signature of the economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA, 兩岸經濟合作架構協議) in June 2010.
"Faced with increased competition from foreign imports after the signing of the agreement, the industry had to increase its competitive edge," he explained. "With more than 100 companies registered, we have successfully appealed to the tertiary and secondary industrial sectors."
With that achieved, Taiwan can enjoy the advantages of ECFA, which allows Taiwan's textile exports to enter mainland China at a favorable tax rate starting this year. In 2013, the exports will be completely duty free.
In the meantime, the IDB director general warmed that up to 41 percent of Taiwan's business takes place in mainland China. Although, the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA, 外貿易發展協會) holds many product fairs and exhibitions each year, Duh stressed that people are "less likely to know where these products come from" without a government-sponsored certification system.
"All MIT products go through the same certification process according to criteria set by the government," he said, adding that the MIT label is embedded with a code that includes the company name. The costs resulting from testing are supported by the government.
"With the success and attention that MIT-certified products have garnered from the public, MIT is preparing to move into the global market," he continued.
In recent years, the country's avant-garde designers and manufacturers have already been showcasing their innovative designs at various FUSE Fashion Textile Week and other promotional events held all year long. In return, these events have helped them expand their market shares all across the island.
With the support of the Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF, 紡拓會), the TTRI, the IDB and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI, 工研院), the annual FUSE, which combines fashion and Taiwan's traditional culture, can further help promote Taiwan's textile sector in mainland China and on the international stage. ■

I'm wondering about refactoring the properties property so that it runs off kProperties rather than requiring the maintenance of props.cpp.
So... what I'm thinking is to do this we would need to add a bool to MCPropertyInfo indicating if the property should be in the properties array (fits within the rules - writable & no duplication). Then we need to add a bool to LT to indicate if a token is a synonym or not which will allow us to work out what the array keys should be for a property. Then we need a method for each object type that will iterate over kProperties and set the array and then call the super class for it to set them and so on. I think that should cover it. I'm not sure if there are any overloaded properties though which would throw a spanner in the works...
The only thing I can't work out is how to camel case without maintaining a separate list but I think we can live without camel casing if we end up with a properties property that needs no constant maintenance.
One advantage is we could fairly easily extend it to allow for things like getting a complete array of properties (including all the ones that aren't included because of the properties property rules) or just the writable properties or just the read only properties etc and so on...

New Delhi: In a suspected case of house burglary, three unidentified robbers looted cash and jewellery worth Rs 10 lakh from a house and disrobed a woman and chopped off her hair in Lahori Gate area of north Delhi today.
Police said as per the complaint of the 26-year-old woman she was alone in the house when robbers entered her third floor flat at around 2 pm.
Her husband and father-in-law were attending their shop in Jehangirpuri while her mother-in-law was also out. Her two children had gone to school.
A case has been registered and investigation is underway.
The claims of the woman are being verified, said a senior police officer.
Police said the woman claimed that the robbers made her to take off her Saree and tied her with it. They also chopped off her hair as she tried to resist them.
The robbers spent considerable time in the house and without searching anywhere else took away the cash of Rs 4 lakh and jewellery kept in dirty clothes piled on a shelf of a room, said the officer.
Only the woman and her family members knew where the money and jewellery were kept.
The alleged robbers took lunch in the house and were not disturbed by the pet of the family which brought the whole story under suspicion, he said.
The police also suspected the robbery claim as the cash and jewellery were to be distributed between the husband of the woman and his elder brother.
The woman told the police that she was sleeping in her room when the robbers entered and held her hostage. She claimed that she freed herself somehow after they left and alerted the neighbours.
Police scanned the the CCTV footages from the colony where the family lived in Mahavir Kapda Market in Lahori Gate and noticed some persons entering the building. Questioning is underway to establish the sequence of events.

Jessie J rocks a fringed leotard at V Festival: Dare to wear?
Jessie J performed at the V Festival in a brightly-coloured fringed leotard that certainly made her stand out from the crowd but would you dare to wear this outfit?
This year's V Festival saw Jessie J take to the stage despite her leg injury.
She made sure she was the centre of attention in a multicoloured leotard which featured tassels along the sleeves.
Jessie J always looks inventive and this fringed number showed that she truly is a trend-setter. Whether we'll be seeing this in our local Sainsburys will be another question.
Like many other musical innovators such as Gwen Stefani and MIA, Jessie J has never been afraid of experimenting with colours.
And although she looks a bit like a bird about to take flight, we also quite lik her modern-day cowboy retro look.
Jessie J joined the likes of Eminem, Rihanna, Arctic Monkeys, Calvin Harris, Primal Scream and N-Dubz at the festival.

The first thing you notice on the SCX 230 OB is its twin-tier swim platform. One level is a standard integrated platform that works well for sterndrive applications but usually gets cleaved on outboard installs, seriously reducing its available passenger real estate. That's not a problem here, because there's a second, optional swim platform that sits very low to the water and curves up at the rear to provide a motor mount for a Yamaha F200. A closer look reveals it's actually an Armstrong bracket, but instead of the one Starcraft has used in the past that's just wide enough to mount the engine on, this one is nearly as wide as the upper platform. Not only does the arrangement provide easier access to the water, but it adds more passenger acreage when the engine is turned off. Now, passengers can sit on the stern on the rear-facing couch and on the regular platform with their feet on the bracket, or they can get down lower and chill with their legs in the water. In other words, there's a place for the whole gang on the back porch

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) March 20, 2014
Nine Inch Nails proved to be sharp as ever, especially after nailing ticket sales to their upcoming tour with fellow 1990's rockers Soundgarden, sharing a bill for the first time since 1994.
Social media was already buzzing with anticipation after both Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and Chris Cornell of Soundgarden dropped tour teasers last week. Then they made it official Saturday night, and ticket sales have been sounding off ever since, according to Marta Ault at online ticket marketplace BuyAnySeat.com.
The 23-city co-headline run, featuring full sets from both bands, kicks off on July 19 in Las Vegas at Planet Hollywood and wraps up in Los Angeles on August 25 at the Hollywood Bowl. The groups will play 23 dates together, mostly in the U.S. with one stop in Toronto. The month long run passes through most major markets and will feature support from experimental hip-hop group Death Grips.
"Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden epitomize 90's rock and tickets have been trending at the top as fans take advantage of the rare opportunity to see both bands together," said Marta Ault at online ticket marketplace BuyAnySeat.com.
"That's why we're proud to be able to offer fans the most complete and continuously refreshed selection of tickets online, with a worry-free guarantee to protect their purchase," added Ault.
"To access the full line-up of Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden tickets we have available, fans can go to BuyAnySeat.com and search for Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden– then select their tickets."
It has been 20 years since the two bands shared a bill; the last time they performed together was at Ontario's Molson Park in 1994. That year the two bands had each released an album on the same day, March 8. Nine Inch Nails dropped The Downward Spiral, while Soundgarden sounded off with super hit Superunknown.
This time, Nine Inch Nails will be touring in support of their 2013 album Hesitation Marks, which features the singles "Came Back Haunted" and "Copy of A". Front man Trent Reznor and the rest of the band toured North America in support of the record last Fall.
Soundgarden will be touring behind their 2012 comeback album King Animal, their first new material in more than 15 years. The album has yielded Number One rock hits "Been Away Too Long" and "By Crooked Steps".
Soundgarden achieved its biggest commercial success with Superunknown, which, in 1994, debuted at Number One on the Billboard charts and yielded the Grammy Award-winning singles "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman". As of 2012, Soundgarden had sold more than 10.5 million records in the U.S. and an estimated 22.5 million worldwide. The band will release a five-disc 20th anniversary edition of Superunknown on June 3, 2014.
Since 1989, Nine Inch Nails has released nine major studio albums and reached record sales exceeding 20 million albums worldwide, with 10 million in sales certified in the U.S. The band has been nominated for 12 Grammy Awards and won twice for the songs "Wish" and "Happiness in Slavery" in 1992 and 1996 respectively.
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine placed Nine Inch Nails' album The Downward Spiral at 200 in a 2003 list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The pub also ranked Nine Inch Nails at 94 in their 100 Greatest Artists of All Time list.

Notes for Rev. John PECKHAM
Note: Wm. E. WRIGHT: "Greene & Lewis"; private; Houston, TX; 1991; p372. WEAVER genealogy.
John Peckham, immigrant ancestor and founder of the family, was a native of England and emigrated to America at a date unknown. He was admitted an inhabitant of the Island of Aquidneck, R. I.,March 20, 1638, which is the first record of him in the New World. He later removed to Newport, R. I., where he became a leader of great prominence in the affairs of the Baptist church. He became a freeman at Newport, March 16, 1641. In 1648 John Peckham was one of the ten male members in full communion in the First Baptist Church of Newport, having been one of its founders in 1644. He resided in that part of Newport which later became Middletown, and was made a freeman there in 1655.A stone marked "J P" on the land of William F. Peckham in Middletown is supposed to mark the grave of John Peckham. He married (first) Mary Clarke, the sister of Rev. John Clarke, of Bedfordshire, England, and Boston and Newport, an associate of Roger William's. He married (second) Eleanor. John Peckham died after 1681, and prior to 1700. His will bears the date January 6, 1681.

Peckham Genealogy, The English Ancestors and the American descendents of John
Peckham of Newport, RI 1630 by Stephen F. Peckham 1977 LDS 929.2P33
Sailed to America from England in 1634 landing at Plymouth.
He was a man of considerable wealth shown by his founding of Newport, Rhode
Island and buying land as far north as Middletown, and there he lived. He also bought a square mile of land which he named "Little Compton" for his home town in England and so it is to this day, Little Compton, Rhode Island.
John Peckham, 1595-1681, came from England to Boston with Sir Henry Vane in
1634. He probably met there Mary Clarke who had come there with her own brother Doctor John Clarke. They were among the group with Ann Hutchinson who settled Portsmouth, at the north end of Rhode Island. In 1638 he was an inhabitant of Newport. His residence was in that part of Newport which became Middletown,and a stone marked J P marks his grave.
John Peckham was, in 1634, Chaplain to the Earl of Hertford, who at that time was William Seymour, later Duke of Somerset. We next hear of John Peckham in Rhode Island in 1638. We have no record of any description of what occupied his attention during the years between the two dates. We can, however, from what preceded and what followed these dates, conjecture with a large degree of probability the events of his life.
William Seymour, Duke of Somerset, was one of the most powerful nobleman of the reign of Charles the First. One of his most familiar country seats was Pentworth, about twelve miles north of Chichester, in the neighborhood in which the Peckhams lived. A Chaplain to a nobleman of this character would be brought incontact with many of the leading spirits of that age. The Duke enjoyed, during the whole of Charles the First's reign, the confidence of his King, with the exception of the episode of his marriage with Arabella Stuart, which proved to be more unfortunate for the lady than for him. There is no doubt that as Chaplain to this nobleman, John Peckham made the acquaintance of Sir Henry Vane the younger. Sir Henry Vane the elder was Comptroller of the Household of Charles the First, and consequently intimately associated with the King. He lived on the Old Peckham Manor which his great-grandfather had purchased or inherited from the heirs of William Peckham, who was Cup Bearer to Archbishop Thomas Bourchier. This site was the home of the Vanes from the middle of the Fifteenth to the middle of the Eighteenth centuries. Sir Henry Vane the younger was born and reared there.
There can be little doubt that the extreme theological views which were formulated in the mind of Sir Henry Vane during his early years, became the convincing arguments that turned John Peckham from his allegiance to the Church of England. These more or less extreme views may be described in the language of that day as those of a Baptist Lollard.
No doubt John Peckham came to Boston with Sir Henry Vane in 1634. He probably met there Mary Clarke, who had accompanied her brother, Doctor John Clarke, to Boston at about the same time. Their acquaintance resulted in their marriage, of which no record can be found; probably in consequence of the fact that as Baptist Lollards both families were outside of the Boston churches, which were then strictly Congregational and antagonistic to the Lollards.
While there are no records to be found in Boston, all the circumstances attending the subsequent life of the Clarkes and Peckhams and their relations to each other, tend to make these suppositions almost certainties. As a clergyman of the Church of England, having taken very strict vows of ordination, John Peckham would be reluctant to take an active part in theological acts or discussions which would ally him openly with the party who opposed the English Church. We, therefore, reach this conclusion that John Peckham and Mary Clarke were married some time during the administration of Sir Henry Vane as Governor of the Massachusetts Colony, and, that having formed this connection with the Clarke family, he did not return to England with Sir Henry, but remained and followed the fortunes of the Clarkes at Rhode Island.
Until quite recently the marriage of John Peckham and Mary Clarke (sister of Doctor John Clarke), was a matter of supposition supported by purely circumstantial evidence. The late researches of Mr. Byron J. Peckham in the early records of Bristol County, Massachusetts, at Taunton, have settled by absolute record evidence the question of this marriage.
While his name does not appear in the list of those disarmed in Boston, nor among the followers of Wheelright, nor was he one of the signers of the Portsmouth Covenant, yet he must have been one of the party known as the Ann Hutchinson Party, who founded a settlement on the north end of Rhode Island, which became the town of Portsmouth. His lands were allotted along with those of William Freeborn and John Coggeshall, who were among the first settlers of the Island of Aquidneck, or Rhode Island, where, on May 20th, 1638, his name appears in a list of those who were admitted inhabitants of Newport. In 1640 the bounds of his lands were established. On March 16th, 1641, he was admitted a Freeman. In 1648 he was one of the ten male members of the First Baptist Church of Newport in full communion. This same year Eleanor Peckham, his second wife, was baptized. His residence was in that part of Newport that finally became Middletown and a stone marked "J.P." is supposed to mark his grave. A reference to his Will is found in a list of Seventeen Wills (between 1676 and 1695), which were presented to the Court in 1700 by the parties interested; the law requiring three witnesses and these Wills having but two.
Concerning Mary Clarke, John Peckham's first wife, the line of whose descent has been established, a Bible which belonged to her brother, Doctor John Clarke, which contains several generations preceding and following their advent in America, is still in existence.
Concerning the second wife of John Peckham, Eleanor Peckham,almost nothing is known. Her name is entered as Eleanor Peckham upon the register of the First Baptist Church of Newport as having been baptized in 1648. No reference is made in this entry to her being the wife of John Peckham. It is assumed,rather than proved, that she was at that time his wife, but there are several circumstances which point to the conclusion that she was born Eleanor Peckham and was a distant cousin of her husband. From records of the Lysle Family, a prominent family of Hampshire, England, in the seventeenth century, it appears that Eleanor Lysle married a Peckham of Chichester. Her nephew, John Lysle, was the John Lysle whose name appears first in the list of regicides of Charles the First. The family of Peckhams into which she married removed to the north of Chichester, holding several manors there for several centuries. The name Eleanor appears among the descendants of Eleanor Lysle and her husband, and are the only Eleanor Peckhams to be found in English records. It would appear that two Peckham wives were born into this family. One the wife of Robert Peckham, brother of John, who located in England, and she probably came to New England with the other members of Robert Peckham's Family, most of whom returned to England; but one of them,John, located in Sudbury, Mass., and in 1687 went with his intended wife, Dorothy Good enough, from Sudbury to Bristol,R.I., where they were married in St. Michael's Church, Bristol,an Episcopal Church, and the following year became the parents of a boy, John Peckham, of whom no further record exists, they having in all probability found Puritanical New England at that time an uncongenial place of residence for Episcopalians, and inconsequence returned to England. The other was a sister of the first, Eleanor, who came to Rhode Island and remained as John Peckham's second wife. Besides this conjecture, we have the evidence which follows: In a letter addressed to Mrs. Caroline E. Robinson by her friend and cousin, Mrs. Harriet A. Staunton, Mrs. Staunton states- "last summer a Mrs. Neale came here to see me; she was from Kansas, was a Boomer (see Austin), and she said that on the wife's side way back, there was a Peckham. You will see that the First Matthew Boomer had a wife, Eleanor, and that John Peckham gave bonds for her in 1671; also Nicholas Cottrell. John Peckham's second wife was Eleanor, and Stephen,their son, and his wife, Mary Peckham, named a daughter Eleanor. If you know anything of these early Boomers, they lived in or about Fall River some time, Mrs. Neale states, then in Western Connecticut. Nicholas Cottrell's wife was Dorothy Pendleton, whose sister, Eleanor Pendleton, married William Walker, daughter of James and Hannah Good enough Pendleton."
Of course these conjectures are mere straws and they are given for what they are worth. The Peckhams as a family in the seventeenth century were reformers in England, and were, as has been shown, connected by marriage with the active reformers, of all grades. From the regicides to those who were indifferent to this question.
John Peckham was the second son in a family of four sons and several daughters. There seems to be every reason for supposing that, upon the settlement of his father's estate, he received a considerable sum of money, which may have been given him without any particular consideration for the fact of his birth or heirship as the son of his father, or it might have been as a consideration (after the early death of his elder brother and of his son who succeeded him for a few years), for his remaining outside of England. Be that as it may, he made large purchases of land on three separate occasions. They were: 1st, a part of Petaquamscot Purchase after 1660; 2nd, the Westerly Purchase in 1661, and 3rd, the East Greenwich Purchase in 1677. In addition to these purchases it is stated by Austin (who does not give his authority), that he purchased in 1640 a tract of land a mile square, in what is called Little Compton, R.I., which was then apart of the domain of the Plymouth Colony. This tract remained to his descendants until about 1830. There he built a house. This house was of humble proportions, but in it six generations of Peckhams were born. It has lately been allowed to fall into decay, and the land around it grown into forests.
In many of these purchases John Peckham's sons were associated with him, and later his grandsons, by purchase or inheritance,acquired the ownership of tracts that ranged across southern Rhode Island from Stonington, Conn., to New Bedford, Mass. A large part of the area covered by New Bedford, Mass., was,during the early part of the eighteenth century, the homestead farm of John Peckham's son, Stephen. His grandson, Benjamin,owned very extensive tracts in what is known as Matunock on the southern shore of Rhode Island adjoining Long Island Sound. The great-grandchildren of John Peckham were among the settlers of Stonington, Conn., and other towns of eastern Connecticut;Westerly, Charlestown, Hopkinton, North and South Kingston, East Greenwich, Situate, Gloucester, Providence, Jamestown, Newport,Middletown, Portsmouth, Tiverton, and Little Compton, RI., and of Dartmouth, Westport, New Bedford, Rehoboth and Petersham, Mass. The succeeding generation emigrated to Dutchess County and central New York. These migrations are of extreme interest. They were commenced by John Peckham's eldest daughter and her husband, and his grandson Daniel, settling at Westerly at the mouth of the Pawcatuck River. Soon after, Benjamin, one of the oldest grandsons of John Peckham, made a settlement in the southern part of the mainland of Rhode Island. These settlements were before the French and Indian War. In this war quite a number of John Peckham's descendants took part. Then followed the Revolution, in which quite a number, in proportion to the whole number then living, were active participants. Following the Revolution, they migrated from Dartmouth and from Westerly to Dutchess County, New York. These emigrants were for the most part members of The Society of Friends and Seventh Day Baptists. Immediately after the Revolution, a number from the families then residing in Westerly and a lesser number from those residing in New Bedford and Newport, R.I. settled in what was then an Indian Country just west of the Catskill Mountains,in Shenango, Herkimer and Oneida Counties, New York. These families established the branch of the family known as the New York Peckhams. Still later, in the early part of the nineteenth century, a considerable number from all the families then bearing the name, both in New England and in New York State,migrated to the western counties of New York. Since that time the family as a whole has shared in the migrations which were common to all of the inhabitants east of the Mississippi, until at the present time the descendants of John Peckham are found,literally, located from Maine to California.
In a deed dated May 30th, 1651, from Joshua Coggeshall and his mother, Mary Coggeshell, to Walter Connigrave, the land is described as bounded "on land granted to Mary Clarke, now Deceased, some time the wife of John Peckham," the grant referred to was made previous to 1644. Mary Clarke was a sister to the four brothers, Carew, Thomas, John and Joseph, and was born in 1607. There are reasons for believing that Mary Clarke was mother of John Peckham's daughter, Mary who married Tobias Saunders, and of his four sons, John, Thomas, William and James. No dates are on record as to the birth of James Peckham. The birth dates of all of John Peckham's children may have been recorded in the early records of the Town of Newport, but, as is well known, these records were submerged in a vessel near Hellgate in the East River, for nearly a year during the Revolution, and in consequence are now nearly illegible. The order of birth of John Peckham's sons can be only surmised. It may be approximated from the birth dates of their children,which would clearly indicate that there were two sets of children, one marrying and having children between 1660 and 1680, and the other giving birth to children after 1690.
Evidently, Mary Clarke was the mother of Mary Saunders, John,Thomas, William and James Peckham, and that Eleanor Peckham was the mother of Stephen, Clement, and the other daughters. Based upon these suppositions, the children have been placed in the order found in the following list of John Peckham's children.

The Peckham families of Rhode Island are among the oldest and most prominent in the Commonwealth. Prior to 1700 they were among the large land owners of Rhode Island, figuring in the Pettaquamscott purchase of 1660, and the Westerly purchase of 1661, and the East Greenwich purchase in 1677. Their holdings were in Southern Rhode Island, and extended into Massachusetts;their descendants passed into the old Bay State, Eastern Connecticut, and Central New York, many, however, remaining in Newport and Providence counties, R. I. Many of the descendants of the founder, John Peckham, have risen to great prominence in the State, in the professions and in the fields of business and commerce. The line herein dealt with is that of the late Felix Peckham, Jr., of Newport, R. I., a well-known business man and financier of that city in the latter half of the nineteenth century. died after 1681, and prior to 1700. His will bears the date January 6, 1681.

A couple of weeks ago, we reported on the 2010 Ford Mustang entrant into the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS), and now Dodge has followed suit by unveiling its 2010 Dodge Challenger NNS stock car. Starting next season, the NASCAR Nationwide Series (NNS) will begin using the 'Car of Tomorrow' (CoT) on a limited basis using the Challenger in place of the Dodge Charger. NASCAR is expected to switch to the Nationwide CoT for a full schedule in 2011, which will give the 'minor league' series a car that is sportier and more distinguishable than the Sprint Cup series.
Unlike the cars currently running around in NASCAR that are loosely based on production models, the NASCAR Challenger not only has the styling of a Nationwide racecar, but it also is the most stock-looking car to race in a NASCAR series since the 1980s. Up front, signature Challenger design elements are in place such as the quadruple headlights and rectangular grille, while the rear view of the car shows the familiar full-width tail lights. Other than the unique front and rear treatments, a slight kink in the side window openings helps to distinguish between the NNS Challenger and the other competitors. Like the Sprint Cup CoT cars, the NNS Challengers will use a lower chin spoiler, but instead of a rear wing they will continue to use the tall, vertical decklid spoiler as seen on the current cars.
'We're very proud of the look of the car,' said Dave Bailey, senior manager of Dodge motorsports engineering and SRT Body, Interior and Electrical. 'It's great looking. We've maximized the brand identity of the vehicle, as well as achieve the aero parity. We feel this is the right opportunity to showcase the Dodge Challenger in this series as the Challenger came back to the market in 2009.'
Ralph Gilles, President and CEO of the newly formed Dodge Car Brand, is aware of the significance of racing with the history of Dodge. Since the beginning of NASCAR in 1949, Dodge has been a key manufacturer in the races, but no car was more dominant or is more recognizable than the 1970 Dodge Charger Daytona (and its twin, the Plymouth Superbird). Like Dodge, Penske Racing has a long and storied legacy in NASCAR racing and is one of the teams that will be using the NNS Challenger.
"As the performance brand of our new company, we are excited to expand our relationship with Penske Racing and introduce the iconic Dodge Challenger as our entry into the NASCAR Nationwide Series," Giles said. 'Penske Racing has such a rich tradition in motorsports, and our partnership in the Nationwide Series will provide an excellent opportunity to showcase the Challenger and offer our loyal Dodge enthusiasts plenty of excitement in this very competitive series next year."
Like the Sprint Cup, the purpose of the new design for the Nationwide cars is twofold: it creates an equal template across the four competing automakers to promote more competitive racing and it helps to improve driver safety by reducing the vehicles' top speed and redesigning the safety cage and layout. It is not clear how the Nationwide rules will work, but all of the cars competing in the Sprint Cup series must fit identical templates regardless of the automaker. While most of the changes are necessary to create a more equal playing field for the Dodge, Chevrolet, Toyota and Ford teams, the new body also helps create a safer cockpit with the driver's seat closer to the middle of the car.
The 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Ford Mustang will only compete in four races next season, but it will likely phase the new car in by the following season. The first track to see the 2010 Dodge Challenger 'stock car' will fittingly be the Daytona International Speedway for the mid-season night race on July 2, 2010. In addition to the Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang, the other CoT racecars fielded from Chevrolet and Toyota will continue to bear resemblance to the current models: the Chevrolet Impala and the Toyota Camry.
