Marco Woven-back Bar Stool 11 11
Finsh is dark brown rather than mahogny Arrived on time; but the wood finish is dark brown instead of expected reddish mahogany; finish of leather is darker than what's shown in pictures, disappointed; the quality looks very good, very sturdy, but heavy; overall they are still very good, nice looking bar stools, worth the money as bought at a great discount. June 23, 2014
J Smith Very comfortable and well made Bar Stools,also beautiful! March 15, 2011
A little disappointed I am a little disappointed in one detail on these bar stools. In the catalog that I ordered them from, the description stated that there was a brass plate that protected the wood on the foot rest. However, when the bar stools arrived, there was not anything protecting the wood on the foot rest. Since these are pretty expensive stools, I felt like the catalog misrepresented the quality. April 7, 2011
Bar stools When our bar stools arrived I was very disappointed because they were not what was shown in the photograph online. They were photographed as being in medium colored wood but they were a solid dark brown. When I called customer service I was told that they were mahogany but they had been stained dark walnut which did not work in our house. I will say that the return service was good and they were picked up in less than a week. February 26, 2014
beautiful barstools We love the barstools. Only problem was they take up more room under the bar than we expected. We ordered 5 and sent one back. 4 are more comfortable situated to allow easy getting in and out. Only just received them.........they look beautiful and work well so far. September 18, 2013
awesome I planned, measured and looked for many months and finally settled with these and we are extremely satisfied. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS. October 9, 2013
Paint Touch-Ups on Leather! Ordered 5. 3 have all types of scratches on leather. Several scratches appear to have been covered with paint to match the "leather." Some of "leather" color flaked off like paint coming off a painted surface when tape has been pulled off. How does color flake off real leather? Frontgate Customer Service requested photos which I sent immediately. Have yet to hear from them. A few thousand dollars - and no response! Beautiful chair from the back - damaged leather. February 23, 2011
Top of the Line While I am still waiting for my remodel to be unveiled, I have checked out the stools and they are absolutely stunning. Didn't want to pay this much for barstools,but in the end, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Beautiful. Not a bit disappointed. February 8, 2013

Answer:Having read your question, I checked out the foot rest when I received my stools. You really have to get down and touch the foot rest to know that there is one. It has been finished the same color as the wood, but it is there. Understated, classic. You won't be disappointed.

I have always been told you should not eat late at night. According to Men's Health apparently in some cases it's okay. Since I live in Cereal City, USA and love cereal, I like that idea. I'm sure we need to make sure we are staying active though.
Eating at night doesn't always make you fat. In fact, new research shows there are benefits, including bigger muscles and a faster up metabolism.
1. More Muscle--Scientists found that consuming casein (the dominating protein in milk) after an evening workout and 30 minutes before sleep increased protein synthesis in men. 2. Faster Metabolism--A study found that when fit men eat a 150-calorie nighttime snack consisting of protein or carbohydrates, they have a higher resting metabolic rate in the morning than when they don't eat anything before bed.
3. Less Hunger--Having a snack before bed can leave you less hungry in the morning and between meals the next day. The type of food didn't matter, but emphasizing protein is smart because it helps you build muscle.
4. Lower Weight--Having cereal can be a great way to end the day. People who ate cereal before bed lost 2 pounds in 4 weeks, while people who didn't have the cereal lost about a half pound.

Are you happy when your wife scores a big life victory?
A study by the American Psychiatric Association says men, in general, are unhappy about it.
It can actually be something big or small that's said to make guys feel threatened - their wives getting a job promotion or a raise, winning a sporting event, getting an award, even something like hosting a great dinner party.
Men's egos are apparently quite fragile when it comes to this stuff.
Researchers say they don't enjoy their wives victories because they interpret them as failures on their own part.
Sort of a twisted way of looking at things - though the men are said to be doing it subconsciously - they don't mean to have that perspective.
Earlier studies suggested men feel threatened when their wives make more money than them.
What surprised psychiatrists in the new study is that the feeling applied even when women succeeded in things guys aren't even interested in doing, their egos are bruised feel any time a woman succeeds, no matter what they're succeeding in.
And it's not just American men. The study also looked at guys in the Netherlands which is typically viewed as more progressive about gender equality.

The long talked about Ant-Man seems to be getting off the ground. Marvel Entertainment is announcing that Paul Rudd has been cast to star in the film.
Rudd is perhaps best known for his role as Brian Fantana in the Anchorman films. You've got to give Marvel credit for the timing of their Rudd announcement, since Anchorman 2 opens in theaters today.
Marvel isn't releasing many details about Ant-Man, but they're clearly excited about Rudd's involvement in the movie.
"We knew early on that we had found the right person in Paul. When he not only agreed to do it, but became as enthusiastic as any actor we'd ever met with about doing the work, we knew we'd found the right guy." - Marvel Studios President Kevin FeigeAnt-Man is scheduled to open in theaters on July 31, 2015!

Small bowel bacterial overgrowth (SBBO) occurs when there is a build-up of too much bacteria in the small bowel.
SBBO is often caused by an abnormality in the small bowel. Food is not able to flow properly though the intestines. Conditions that may cause this include:
- Birth defect
- Injury
- Surgery
- Conditions (eg, digestive disorder)
Risk Factors
Examples of conditions that may increase the risk of SBBO include:
- Crohn's disease
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Short bowel syndrome
- Diverticulitis
- Intestinal stricture (narrowing in the small intestine)
- Digestive disorders (eg, celiac disease , lactose intolerance )
- Blind loop syndrome (when part of the intestine is bypassed)
- Intestinal infection (eg, food poisoning , traveler's diarrhea )
- Cirrhosis
- Diabetes
- Chronic pancreatitis
- End-stage kidney or liver disease
Other risk factors include:
- Intestinal surgery (eg, removal of part of the small intestine )
- An obstruction in the small intestine
- Weakened immune system
- Being elderly (more likely to have conditions like diverticulitis)
Any condition that affects how food moves through the small bowel may increase the risk of SBBO.
Not all patients with SBBO will have symptoms. But symptoms may include:
- Abdominal pain
- Bloating and gas
- Feeling of fullness
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Nutritional deficiencies (eg, vitamins B12 , A , D , E , iron , thiamine )
- Weight loss
SBBO can be difficult to diagnose. The symptoms may be similar to other conditions. Your doctor will:
- Ask about your symptoms and medical history
- Do a physical exam
Order tests, such as:
- Blood tests to detects nutritional deficiencies (eg, anemia , B12 deficiency )
- Breath tests—involves fasting, eating some type of sugar, and then exhaling into a bag; the sample is analyzed to find out if there are levels of certain gases
- Culture of intestinal fluid (aspirate)—a catheter is used to get a sample of fluid from the small bowel
The goals are to:
- Reduce the levels of harmful bacteria in the small bowel
- Treat the underlying condition
Antibiotics are often prescribed to treat SBBO. Usually treatment is temporary. But, in some cases, you may need to take antibiotics for a longer period.
Nutritional Support
To make sure that you get the proper nutrients, you may need to:
- Work with a dietitian
- Follow a special diet (eg, carbohydrate-restricted diet)
- Take supplements (eg, iron , vitamin B12 )
- Take probiotics
In some cases, tube feeding is needed with a special formula.
For severe cases, surgery may be needed. This is done to correct an abnormality in the small bowel.
If you have any of the conditions that are linked to SBBO, get proper treatment. This may reduce your chance of having a build-up of bacteria in the small bowel.

UC Berkeley
The University of California was chartered in 1868 and its flagship campus — envisioned as a "City of Learning" — was established at Berkeley, on San Francisco Bay. Today the world's premier public university and a wellspring of innovation, UC Berkeley occupies a 1,232 acre campus with a sylvan 178-acre central core. From this home its academic community makes key contributions to the economic and social well-being of the Bay Area, California, and the nation.
Levine-Fricke Field
Levine-Fricke Field, home of the 2002 NCAA champions, is the venue for Golden Bear softball on the University of California campus.Nestled at the base of Strawberry Canyon, the field sits high above the Berkeley campus overlooking the San Francisco Bay Area.Built in 1995, Levine-Fricke Field owns a seating capacity of 500, with all of the seats in close proximity to the field. The outfield fences stand 190 feet down the right and left field lines, while it is 220 feet to straight-away center.Cal softball began play in 1972 on Hearst Field in the center of campus. The Bears moved to Strawberry Field, just west of their current location, in the early 1980s and remained there until Levine-Fricke Field was constructed.Meet your coaching staff
Diane Ninemire
Since her first year in the dugout in 1988, Diane Ninemire has continually pushed Cal to new heights as one of the winningest and most successful softball programs in the nation. Now entering her 27th season as head coach of the perennially powerful Golden Bears, the NFCA Hall of Famer is part of an elite group of world-class coaches, with more than 1,100 career wins, a national championship, two national Coach of the Year titles and numerous national and conference honors during her tenure.
The Golden Bears most recently punched their ticket to a 26th consecutive postseason in 2013, in a season that saw Jolene Henderson break Michele Granger's career wins record and become the winningest Cal pitcher in program history (130 wins). The team lost to eventual WCWS participant Michigan at the Ann Arbor Regional, failing to advance to Super Regionals for only the second time since the Super Regional format was introduced in 2005. Henderson was named an All-American while Lindsey Ziegenhirt became Cal's first CoSIDA Academic All-American since 2005, and the 2013 squad raked in an additional five All-Region, seven All-Pac-12 and three Pac-12 All-Academic honors.
Thanks to an 8-1 victory over then-No. 14/18 Oregon on April 20, 2012, Ninemire hit one of the most impressive milestones in coaching history - notching career win No. 1,100. Entering the 2014 season, she is just one of 15 Division I ball coaches to hit the 1,100-win mark.
In her nearly three decades at the helm of the Cal program, Ninemire has coached 17 players to All-America status for a total of 35 All-America honors and 84 All-Region honorees, plus 139 All-Pac-12 selections. In the classroom, Ninemire's Bears have excelled at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, combining for four CoSIDA Academic All-America honors and 54 Pac-12 All-Academic selections.
From 1999-2005, Cal made seven consecutive trips to the College World Series with the Bears' most recent appearances in Oklahoma City coming in 2012 and 2011. With a national championship, 12 Women's College World Series trips and 26 straight NCAA postseason appearances to her credit, it is no wonder that Cal enters every season as a contender for the national title.
In 2012, Cal set program single-season records for most runs scored (422), RBI (376), homers (84), total bases (856), and the highest fielding percentage (.979). Not only did the 58 wins set a new team best, but they also topped the previous high of 56, which was set by the 2002 NCAA Title-winning team.
Cal opened the 2012 year on a 23-game winning streak before dropping its sole nonconference loss of the regular season to Hawaii in a 10-inning battle. The Bears won the inaugural Pac-12 title by going 21-3 in the most competitive softball conference in the country, winning every single series and sweeping five of the eight series. Cal claimed the No. 1 spot in at least one of the two national polls 13 times this season, finishing the campaigned third in both rankings. After winning the Berkeley Regional and Berkeley Super Regional, the Bears went 2-2 at the Women's College World Series, in which they defeated LSU and Oregon but lost to eventual champion Alabama and eventual runner-up Oklahoma.
In 2011, the Golden Bears returned to the hallowed grounds of Oklahoma City for the 11th time in school history for the Women's College World Series. They got there by notching Cal's first-ever Super Regional series title over an SEC School - going 2-1 against host Kentucky. On the Regional level, the Bears breezed through the competition in Louisville.
After starting the 2011 campaign ranked 12th in the polls and slated to finish fourth in the Pac-10, Cal ended the year No. 5 in the country and second in the conference. Cal closed out the year at a 45-13 clip with an impressive 15-6 conference record to take second place, marking the best Pac-10 finish since 2005, when the Bears tied for first. The Bears won at least one game in each Pac-10 series and swept three schools - then-No.17 Oregon, Oregon State as well as then-No. 8 and defending national champion UCLA. For their stunning work in 2011, the National Fast Pitch Coaches' Association lauded the Cal coaching staff as the Pacific Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
In the fall of 2011, Midland University honored Ninemire with induction into its Athletic Hall of Fame. Ninemire began her collegiate playing career at Midland in 1976, lettering in basketball and softball. Ninemire led Midland softball to a state championship in 1977.
Thanks to a 6-0 victory over Sacramento State on April 7, Ninemire became the ninth coach in the history of Division I softball to notch 1,000 wins. Already the winningest coach - male or female - in all of Cal history for any sport, Ninemire now has a career record of 1,059-509 after leading the Bears to the WCWS in 2011. She has accumulated the second-most wins in Pac-10 history (1,059).
In addition to posting their 37th consecutive winning record in 2010, the Bears finished 10-11 in the Pac-10 Conference to tie for fourth, which is the highest conference finish since 2005, when the Bears were third. The Bears were one of the seven Pac-10 teams to earn an at-large bid to the postseason, marking their 25th consecutive trip to NCAA tournament, which is the second-longest streak in the nation. Cal shut out the competition at the Columbus Regional, icing Bucknell, Kentucky and Ohio State to win its fifth Regional title since the format was adopted in 2005, before falling to No. 6-seeded Georgia in Athens, Ga.
In 2009, Ninemire set another career milestone, joining the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's Hall of Fame class that year. Ninemire, who joined Frank Cheek of Humboldt State and Bill Edwards of Hofstra, was inducted into the NFCA Hall of Fame on Friday, Dec. 11 2009, at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
Ninemire helped make Golden Bear history in 2002 when she directed Cal to its first NCAA Championship at the WCWS with a 6-0 win over Arizona, marking the first women's title in Cal athletic program history. The 2002 team set a school record for wins (56), while Jocelyn Forest claimed the tournament's Most Outstanding Player honor, and Ninemire was chosen as the NFCA National Coach of the Year. Cal became the first Pac-10 team other than UCLA and Arizona to ever win the softball national title. In the circle, Forest went undefeated in Cal's postseason run and completed the WCWS with a 4-0 record, 0.50 earned run average and 33 strikeouts in 28.0 innings.
Ninemire has enjoyed plenty of other memorable moments along her career path. In 2005, Cal won a share of the Pac-10 title (a first for a Ninemire squad) and advanced to its seventh consecutive WCWS. The 2004 version of the Bears was one of Ninemire's most successful and most decorated groups, as four All-Americans and eight All-Pac-10 selections helped drive Cal to its third consecutive WCWS championship game appearance. That same year, her winning reputation was recognized internationally when she was named as an assistant coach to the inaugural Greek Olympic softball team.
Two of Ninemire's former players - Michele Granger and Gillian Boxx - were four-time All-Americans and helped the United States win a gold medal as members of the 1996 Olympic Team in Atlanta. Former California Golden Bear Vicky Galindo, who Ninemire coached, was the most recent Cal softball player named to the 2008 15-member Olympic Team roster. In 2001, Cal began the season 32-0 before finishing fifth at the WCWS.Read Full Bio
Prior to becoming head coach, Ninemire served as an assistant for five years at Cal under Donna Terry. Together, the tandem led the Bears to three appearances in the NCAA Tournament, a third-place finish at the 1986 WCWS and the inaugural Pac-10 championship in 1987.
Along with her coaching duties, Ninemire is a member of the NCAA Pacific Region Advisory Committee and a former chair of the All-American Selection Committee.
Ninemire began her collegiate playing career at Midland Lutheran College (Fremont, Neb.), leading the team to a state championship as a freshman. After one season, she transferred to Nebraska-Omaha, where she played on both the softball and basketball teams for three years. A shortstop and left fielder, Ninemire helped UNO win the 1978 championship and make three appearances in the College World Series.
Ninemire graduated from UNO in 1980 and completed her master's degree in physical education at Texas Woman's University in 1987. She began her coaching career at TWU in 1980 as Terry's assistant before heading west to assist Terry and the Golden Bear program in 1983.
Tammy Lohmann
Tammy Lohmann enters her eighth year of service with the California softball program after helping guide the Golden Bears to the postseason each of her seven years in Berkeley.
Under Lohmann's tutelage, Cal student-athletes have garnered 58 all-conference selections and 10 All-America selections. Each season, Cal has marched into the postseason and has produced six super regional and two Women's College World Series appearances over that span.
In 2013, Lohmann helped Cal punched its 26th straight ticket to the postseason, where the team lost to eventual WCWS participant Michigan at the Ann Arbor Regional, failing to advance to Super Regionals for only the second time since the Super Regional format was introduced in 2005. The successful 2013 squad combined for one All-America, one CoSIDA Academic All-America, five All-Region, seven All-Pac-12 and three Pac-12 All-Academic honors.
The 2012 season saw Lohmann and the Bears set program single-season records for most runs scored (422), RBI (376), homers (84), total bases (856) and the highest fielding percentage (.979). Not only do the 58 wins achieved in 2012 set a new team best, but they also top the previous high of 56, which was set by the 2002 NCAA Title-winning team. The Bears won the inaugural Pac-12 title by posting a 21-3 conference record. In 13 of the 2012 season's weeks, Cal was ranked first in at least one national poll and finished the year ranked third after tying ASU for bronze in the Women's College World Series.
In 2011, the Golden Bears returned to the hallowed grounds of Oklahoma City for the 11th time in school history for the Women's College World Series. They got there by notching Cal's first-ever Super Regional series title over an SEC School - going 2-1 against host Kentucky. After starting the 2011 campaign ranked 12th in the polls and slated to finish fourth in the Pac-10, Cal ended the year No. 5 in the country and second in the conference. Cal closed out the year at a 45-13 clip with an impressive 15-6 conference record to take second place, marking the best Pac-10 finish since 2005, when the Bears tied for first. For their stunning work in 2011, the National Fast Pitch Coaches' Association lauded the Cal coaching staff as the Pacific Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
During the 2010 campaign, Lohmann helped direct the Bears to their best Pac-10 Conference finish since 2005 with a 10-11 record in conference play to tie for fourth. Additionally, the Bears were one of the seven Pac-10 teams to earn an at-large bid to the postseason, and shut out the Columbus Regional, sweeping through the three opponents, before falling in Super Regional play to No. 6-seeded Georgia.
In 2009, thanks to Lohmann's assistance in the development of the Cal hitters, the Golden Bears produced team records in home runs (49) and runs (322) in 2007, and RBI (279) in 2008 and broke their home-run record with 55 round-trippers in 2009.
Prior to her arrival in the Bay Area in 2006, Lohmann was an assistant coach at Wisconsin, helping guide the Badgers to a NCAA Regional appearance in 2005. She coached numerous All-Big Ten conference and regional players with the Badgers. Wisconsin hitters posted a record-breaking offensive season in 2005, setting multiple school records.
As a player, Lohmann was a two-time all-conference selection at Arizona State and was team captain for the 1997 season. She was the ASU Freshman of the Year in 1993 and is on ASU's single-season and career record charts in hits, doubles, and stolen bases.
During the summer of 1998, Lohmann was a pitcher and a shortstop for the Arizona Peppers in the Ladies Professional Baseball League. She played the same positions during the 1998 USA Women's Baseball National Tournament, helping the Arizona Angels to a runner-up finish. In 1999, Lohmann played in the Women's Professional Softball League as a member of the North Carolina Diamonds.
She earned her master's degree in human service administration from Bradley in December 2002. Lohmann is also a one-star master coach with the National Fastpitch Coaches College. She was selected as one of 25 coaches to attend the NCAA Women's Coaches Academic Dimension I in Denver, and again for Dimension II in Indianapolis. The Cal Athletic Department recognized her as a Shining Star in January 2009.

John Reeves
John Reeves, the driving force behind Cal's pitching success, completed his 20th season with the Golden Bear program in 2013. Reeves, who brings more than two decades of coaching experience to the field, has helped numerous Cal pitchers earn All-American accolades. Additionally, Reeves has coached two Golden Bears - Jolene Henderson and Kristina Thorson - to Cal's three Pac-10/12 Pitcher of the Year honors.
Most recently, in 2013 – ace Jolene Henderson's final season – Reeves oversaw the senior on her way to becoming the winningest Golden Bear pitcher in program history. Henderson bested Cal legend Michele Granger with 130 wins, including a no-hitter at the Ann Arbor Regional in the final victory of her collegiate career. Henderson was selected third in the first round of the 2013 National Pro Fastpitch Draft by the Chicago Bandits.
Prior to the 2013 season, Reeves helped Henderson repeat as the conference pitcher of the year, going 38-4 with an impressive 1.29 ERA to also earn first-team All-America and Pac-12 laurels in 2012. Henderson shouldered almost 90 percent of the pitching for the 2011 Cal team that advanced to the Women's College World Series. In 2011, Henderson was lauded as the Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year, marking the second time in program history that a Bear has earned that honor. Additionally, she was a first-team All-American, All-Region and All-Pac-10 selection. In her first year in a Cal uniform in 2010, Henderson was also honored for her pitching achievements as a member of the Pac-10 All-Freshman team. Both Henderson and Valerie Arioto were named to the All-Pacific Region first team.
Another disciple of Reeves, right-hander Arioto closed out her Cal career with a 1.32 ERA in 2012 along with first team All-America and All-Pac-12 status. Prior to redshirting the 2011 season, Arioto was lauded with placement on the 2010 All-Pac-10 first team and was named a Louisville Slugger/NFCA First-Team All-American. Additionally, in 2009, Reeves was instrumental in Arioto earning Easton All-America status, first-team All-Pac-10 selection and a third-team Louisville Slugger/NFCA All-American.
In 2008, Reeves helped groom Marissa Drewrey into an all-conference and all-region pitcher (29 wins). Other All-American pitchers under Reeves' watch include Jocelyn Forest and Whitney Floyd. Cal graduate Kristina Thorson (36-10, 0.83 ERA in 2006) who was a three-time All-American from 2004-06.
Prior to his arrival at Cal in 1994, Reeves served as head softball coach at Lynbrook High School in San Jose, Calif. He led his teams to a combined 105-27 record over five years, including a Central Coast Section title. From 1987-93, he coached the Twin Creeks Diamonds ASA team, developing more than 30 players who earned positions on Division I softball teams. He has also served as a Bobby Sox and PAL coach for 12 years.
In addition to his coaching stints, Reeves has presented pitching techniques and strategies at various clinics, including the NFCA Softball Exposure Camp.
Reeves graduated from San Jose State with a bachelor's degree in liberal studies in 1980. He resides in Dublin.

We all know that soccer is legendary for its flops. Gamesmanship or poor sportsmanship? That's a debate worth having. But allow me to enter into evidence this smoking gun - a literal smoking gun. The context is far more complicated than you could possibly fathom.
It's the soccer flop, explained:
What say you now, those of you on the poor sportsmanship side of the equation?

Showcasing some of the world's best photojournalists.
The Guardian receives many thousands of pictures every day, some days more than 20,000. Of these, many are publicity hand-outs, soft paparazzi images and material for the sports pages.
However, among all these photographs there are some real gems. The agencies that the Guardian subscribes to – AP, Reuters and Getty Images, among others – have some truly great photojournalists on their staff and under contract, although they probably would be too modest to describe themselves as such. We would like to recognise some of these unsung heroes by presenting their work in galleries, rather than publish them in the usual, one-off, spot news format.

I am not saying that I know exactly what it's like to be a professional athlete but as far as my family there are only two cousins on my wife's side that have experienced more professionalism than myself. My cousin Joe tried out for the Bengals, yes those Bengals, and his brother Jordan, actually played for the Indoor Football team in Green Bay, the Blizzard.
Then there is me...I played wheelchair tennis and yes I did make enough to put food on the table for my family. There was not a day that when I was playing that I took anything for granted or advantage of anything and I can the same for my Cousin's.
I was lucky enough to have a great sponsor at the time, that paid for my travel, hotel, entry fee, rackets, tennis wheelchair, flights to and from plus much more. The money I made at every tournament went into my pocket and bought food and clothes for my kids. It was hundreds not the millions that these ASH Clown professionals are making. Then these clowns complain because they might lose a team-mate.
Really....that's what your worried about huh Kobe. You are such a punk ash beatch. What if Meta was a female in Colorado you would be cool with her...uhhhh I mean him leaving as long she, I mean he keeps his mouth shut? I know Kobe won't read this but if by some chance he would...I would switch jobs with you any day bra. You get my pay check and I get yours. Come on Kobe, take the challenge, contact me at email@example.com and lets have you see how everyone else makes a living. Collect your millions and shut up and do your job. Don't worry about who is playing along side of you, just be Kobe on the court and all will be good. Besides you got Chris Kaman now so that should make you happy because that's a hell of a piece. Meta the challenge goes out to you as well. If you worried more about playing than oranges you could be one of the best.
But I have my own problems to deal with so I will leave you with this. Kobe and Meta you ain't got nothing on Matt Scott and Joe Johnson

Active Creme Lowa
Active Creme Lowa: This patented new boot care product conditions fine leathers, extending the life of your boots.
Active Creme Lowa Specs:
- 75 ml tube
- Shoes get a new gloss and repel water without blocking the pores of the leather.
- Highly developed maintenance shoe cream for TEX and Leather footwear.
- Tip: Setting your boots next to a campfire will NOT speed up the drying process. Oh, they'll dry quick, but the intense heat will ruin the leather and severely shorten the life of your boots. (Especially if they catch on fire!)
Active Creme Lowa: Dirt and moisture have little effect on LOWA boots, but leather is a raw, natural material. Periodic leather treatments can significantly lengthen the lifespan of your boots. Plan on conditioning the leather every 6 months, or prior to an extended trip.
Active Creme Lowa: Even if your boots have a GORE-TEX® waterproof lining, the leathers should be conditioned every 6 months to keep your boots in tip top shape
Active Creme Lowa: When you return from the trail, remove the in-soles and pull the tongue back, allowing the boots to air properly and dry out. Footbeds absorb a lot of moisture. They'll dry much quicker if removed from the boot. If your boots are very wet, stuff newspaper into the toe area. This helps absorb moisture and hold the boot shape. (Remove the newspaper after 24 hours.)

Angry Birds' Rovio self-valued at $1 billion, may seek IPO in 2012
Angry Birds developer Rovio Entertainment's chief marketing officer Peter Vesterbacka has revealed that his company is probably worth more than $1 billion, and could file for an initial public offering as early as next year. The Finnish developer makes additional revenue via advertising, in-game purchases, and physical merchandise, and recently acquired the animation studio, Kombo. The company is currently hiring in both the U.S. and China, and Vesterbacka noted that he "is weighing more acquisitions."
"We're insanely profitable," Vesterbacka told Bloomberg Television in a recent interview. "We are very, very profitable. We're not a publicly traded company yet, but we can fund our own growth."
Vesterbacka also revealed that the company is working on a "20-year plan" for the Angry Birds brand, across multiple distribution channels.
He claims that the smash-hit mobile game currently has about 150 million "active users," and asserts that merchandise sales account for somewhere between ten and twenty percent of the business. Factor in the upcoming Angry Birds movie plans and a number of past and present promotional tie-ins with other entities like Starbucks and Barnes & Noble, and Vesterbacka's supposition that Rovio could have "a good shot at being the first entertainment brand that has a billion fans," doesn't seem like a complete pipe dream.

Somehow I was channel surfing the other night when I tripped over an episode of the Gordon Ramsey/Graham Elliot/Joe Bastianich show, Masterchef, in which the contestants are age 9 to 13. If someone had pitched this idea to me I'd have said no way, couldn't possibly interest me, it's for kids, yada yada. Well, I watched the whole thing and then eagerly watched the next installment. And then I set my DVR to get the rest!
No child I've ever known could possibly do the things these kids did, in particular a doughy 13 year old named Alexander who not only cinched his place in the finalists with a plate of macarons--they were the most elegant, top-notch pastry chef looking macarons I've ever laid eyes on. Everything else he did was equally as mature and expert. He blew out the competition on a burger challenge with a threesome of sliders and kale chips, and only lost the final mystery box challenge by a hair to a ten year old charmer who is so small he has to stand on a stool to see over the counter.
To my complete astonishment, this was every bit as entertaining as watching adults cook, and in a lot of ways even more so. I've never seen children who could pull off what these kids are doing, and the judges all seemed to be as amazed as I was. Mind you, this show has a lot of set-up in it. It's clear that there's been some off-camera training and coaching, and none of the challenges are as spontaneous and unplanned as they're presented to be, but still, these kids are really cooking and they collectively are bringing a lot of knowledge about food and technique of a kind I've never seen in any child anywhere, though I can imagine Mike Filigenzi's daughter being up to the task!
This could be as riveting as Top Chef, I kid you not (pun intended).

Ain't that always the way it is!
Déjeuner délicieux, merci beaucoup!ReplyDelete
I just started reading your blog! A rural Montana girl with a French heart...ReplyDelete
Your photos and art cause me to catch my breath. I love the details...

Carol, you have to write and illustrate a guidebook. Every time I read one of your posts, I wonder how I'll remember to go to all of the great cafés, musées, bistrots and shops you introduce us to! I wish I could just have your blog in my pocket the next time I visit la Paris.ReplyDelete
Sarah B
This is scary! I was just hanging out in Trocadéro this afternoon (despite almost never going there, even if I did once live in the 16th, on the rue de la Pompe).ReplyDelete
Les Marins looks fun!! :-)
Kisses from Paris!
That first watercolor is beautiful, Carol! Really lovely! Great job. I enjoyed this. I had a navy/white striped bateau-neck T shirt with bracelet length sleeves that I wore forever. Now I wish I still had it--I finally got rid of it after years of wearing it.ReplyDelete
- Eileen7:38 PM
HI Carol,ReplyDelete
I just signed up for your newsletter last week and I must tell you how delighted I am to read your column every day. My children are in Paris and it means so much to me to see what they are seeing. I can't wait to go.
Thank you for such a fabulous service!
warmest regards,
Amazing just how many subjects have this in common: macarons and chocolate chaud! Truly, les macs and le choc are the real icons in this post!ReplyDelete
Hi, I just read MSN's wedding cakes special (creations by Martha Stewart) which has a French Confectionary Box Cake. They say this box cake was inspired by Laduree, a Parisian tea salon and pastry shop. I had to enclose this link because you've written so much about Laduree.ReplyDelete
- Nuova Arte2:34 AM
GREAT exhibition.ReplyDelete
Went on the website in hopes to see the gift shop offerings but to no avail.
I had a great stripe shirt that has disappeared.
I worked with JP Gautier on an ad campaign doin special effects cosmetics... would love to get a shirt for my wardrobe... you said affordable... how much would that be in Dollars?
I think they were like 125ish EurosReplyDelete
That price for a beautiful Gaultier stripped top is GREAT IMO
There were like 3 designs...maybe, but these places are not like the Met.
Who knows if they do mailorder or even have a telephone??
C'est la vie..
French Sailor look for me every time - I love it.ReplyDelete
- Jil6:38 AM
Why do French people only wear dull dark colors, its eitherReplyDelete
navy,grey,black or brown, its good that the macaroon's are colourful.
Have you ever seen French people in bright colors. This year we are
supposed to be wearing primary colors in the UK wonder if it will go
over the channel,

I wholeheartedly disagree.
I saw this and looked in the documentation for the PIL.

It doesn't work in that function.

None of these hints are helpful!!!

Is there a double standard when it comes to prosecuting people using fake identification in Maricopa County?
A group says County Attorney Bill Montgomery comes down hard when illegal immigrants are caught, but gives others a free pass.
This week Tempe police announced they seized 1,761 fake ID's from underage drinkers in the past year, but only 224 of them were given misdemeanors. The others were only given citations.
Immigrants' rights group point out the when illegal immigrants are busted in workplace raids, they are charged with felonies, Tempe police seized almost 2,000 fake ID's along Mill Avenue last year from underage people trying to get into bars and clubs.
Friday, immigrants' rights advocates wanted to know why those people weren't charged with ID theft like most illegal immigrants are.
"When underage students underage drinkers are using fake IDs to get drunk, the police department gives them a slap on the wrist, they tell them to never do it again and they send them on their way. When in fact someone who is trying to provide for their family is told that they have to remain in jail, given a class 4 felony," says Lydia Guzman.
"Why are they not being charged, because we give the kids presumption of the innocence, it's just a stupid thing? Do we know for sure, no but as a group as a class, we're just oh they're just kids being kids," says attorney David Cutrer.
Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery held a news conference of his own to address that allegation. He says the two issues are not the same.
"Fake ID's and buying alcohol - look, folks - it's not an identity theft offense," says Montgomery.
Montgomery says the way the state law is written, using a fake or altered ID is not considered the same violation as identity theft for the purpose of getting a job.
"And there is absolutely no basis for an argument that we're treating the ASU student on Mill Avenue who's 19 years old using a fake ID different than someone engaged in employment-related fraud, when Arizona law specifically prohibits treating the two the same."
Montgomery said the real difference here is that in many cases illegal immigrants are knowingly stealing someone's identity -- not just creating fake ones or altering a birth date.

(a) The state board shall adopt a written system for the evaluation of the employment performance of personnel, which system shall be applied uniformly by county boards in the evaluation of the employment performance of personnel employed by the board.
(b) The system adopted by the state board for evaluating the employment performance of professional personnel shall be in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(c) For purposes of this section, "professional personnel", "professional" or "professionals", means professional personnel as defined in section one, article one of this chapter but does not include classroom teachers, principals and assistant principals subject to the evaluation processes established pursuant to the provisions of section two, article three-c of this chapter when the school at which these professional personnel are employed is selected to participate in those evaluation processes as part of the multi-step implementation leading to full statewide implementation by school year 2013-2014.
(d) In developing the professional personnel performance evaluation system, and amendments thereto, the state board shall consult with the Center for Professional Development created in article three-a of this chapter. The center shall participate actively with the state board in developing written standards for evaluation which clearly specify satisfactory performance and the criteria to be used to determine whether the performance of each professional meets those standards.
(e) The performance evaluation system shall contain, but not be limited to, the following information:
(1) The professional personnel positions to be evaluated, whether they be teachers, substitute teachers, administrators, principals or others;
(2) The frequency and duration of the evaluations, which shall be on a regular basis and of such frequency and duration as to insure the collection of a sufficient amount of data from which reliable conclusions and findings may be drawn. For school personnel with five or more years of experience who have not received an unsatisfactory rating, evaluations shall be conducted no more than once every three years unless the principal determines an evaluation for a particular school employee is needed more frequently. Until the school or school system at which they are employed is subject to the provisions of article three-c of this chapter, for classroom teachers with five or more years of experience who have not received an unsatisfactory rating, an evaluation shall be conducted or professional growth and development plan required only when the principal determines it is necessary for a particular classroom teacher or when a classroom teacher exercises the option of being evaluated at more frequent intervals;
(3) The evaluation shall serve the following purposes:
(A) Serve as a basis for the improvement of the performance of the personnel in their assigned duties;
(B) Provide an indicator of satisfactory performance for individual professionals;
(C) Serve as documentation for a dismissal on the grounds of unsatisfactory performance; and
(D) Serve as a basis for programs to increase the professional growth and development of professional personnel;
(4) The standards for satisfactory performance for professional personnel and the criteria to be used to determine whether the performance of each professional meets those standards and other criteria for evaluation for each professional position evaluated. Professional personnel, as appropriate, shall demonstrate competency in the knowledge and implementation of the technology standards adopted by the state board. If a professional fails to demonstrate competency in the knowledge and implementation of these standards, he or she will be subject to an improvement plan to correct the deficiencies; and
(5) Provisions for a written improvement plan, which shall be specific as to what improvements, if any, are needed in the performance of the professional and shall clearly set forth recommendations for improvements, including recommendations for additional education and training during the professional's recertification process.
(f) A professional whose performance is considered to be unsatisfactory shall be given notice of deficiencies. A remediation plan to correct deficiencies shall be developed by the employing county board and the professional. The professional shall be given a reasonable period of time for remediation of the deficiencies and shall receive a statement of the resources and assistance available for the purposes of correcting the deficiencies.
(g) No person may evaluate professional personnel for the purposes of this section unless the person has an administrative certificate issued by the state superintendent and has successfully completed education and training in evaluation skills through the center for professional development, or equivalent education training approved by the state board, which will enable the person to make fair, professional, and credible evaluations of the personnel whom the person is responsible for evaluating. After July 1, 1994, no person may be issued an administrative certificate or have an administrative certificate renewed unless the state board determines that the person has successfully completed education and training in evaluation skills through the center for professional development or equivalent education and training approved by the state board.
(h) Any professional whose performance evaluation includes a written improvement plan shall be given an opportunity to improve his or her performance through the implementation of the plan. If the next performance evaluation shows that the professional is now performing satisfactorily, no further action may be taken concerning the original performance evaluation. If the evaluation shows that the professional is still not performing satisfactorily, the evaluator either shall make additional recommendations for improvement or may recommend the dismissal of the professional in accordance with the provisions of section eight of this article.
(i) Lesson plans are intended to serve as a daily guide for teachers and substitutes for the orderly presentation of the curriculum. Lesson plans may not be used as a substitute for observations by an administrator in the performance evaluation process. A classroom teacher, as defined in section one, article one of this chapter, may not be required to post his or her lesson plans on the Internet or otherwise make them available to students and parents or to include in his or her lesson plans any of the following:
(1) Teach and reteach strategies;
(2) Write to learn activities;
(3) Cultural diversity;
(4) Color coding; or
(5) Any other similar items which are not required to serve as a guide to the teacher or substitute for daily instruction; and
(j) The Legislature finds that classroom teachers must be free of unnecessary paper work so that they can focus their time on instruction. Therefore, classroom teachers may not be required to keep records or logs of routine contacts with parents or guardians.
(k) Nothing in this section may be construed to prohibit
classroom teachers from voluntarily posting material on the
Internet. Nothing in article three-c of this chapter may be
construed to negate the provisions of subsections (i) and (j) of
this section.
