Penticton Vees defenceman and DU recruit Joey Laleggia is on a 12-game point streak but he's more concerned with helping his team have more success and win a BCHL championship.
Joey Laleggia cares more about team success than personal.
A golden example is the Penticton Vees defenceman's response when asked about his current 12-game point streak, in which he has four goals and 14 points.
"I had no idea," said Laleggia. "This is definitely the first I've heard of it. We have been playing very well as a team lately."
And there you have it. Nothing about him working on his lethal one-timers after practice. Nothing about how he isn't afraid to carry the puck up the ice to create chances or be one of the keys to the Vees' third-ranked power play. It wasn't until later in the interview that he talked about how being an offensive weapon is part of his game. Instead, he quickly deflected and briefly mentioned a rough 3-1 loss to rival Vernon on New Year's Day. A game which he still collected an assist on Brendan O'Donnell's goal.
"It's all a learning experience and we will be ready for those guys when playoff time comes around," said Laleggia, who Vees fans love, especially the teenage girls who bring their homemade signs dubbing him the Italian Stallion. "As for individual success, it's hand in hand with team success."
After having a successful rookie campaign in which the Burnaby native led all defenceman with 13 goals and 65 points in 54 games, Laleggia has surpassed last season's goal total with 18 and is poised to set a new career high in points in what is likely his final junior A season.
Teammate Garrett Milan said Laleggia's success comes from putting himself in open areas for scoring chances.
"He's got a great shot back there and he loves to use it," said Milan. "With him finding open areas to use that shot it's just going to get him more and more points. He helps us get on the board on the power play, which is running great right now. He's a big part of that and he's a big part of all our offensive plays."
"He's been playing real well," said Vees coach-GM Fred Harbinson. "I think he's a great example of a person who has taken a slower path. He took the extra year of midget and it really helped him coming in having an outstanding rookie year for us. Instead of taking a year off early and going to college, he came back for his second year of junior."
The Vees coach added that Laleggia, who will join former teammate Beau Bennett with the Denver Pioneers in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, is proving that he is able to produce without Denver Manderson and Bennett.
Laleggia models his game after Norris Trophy winner Duncan Keith.
"He's good in all three zones," said Laleggia, who is also a Wayne Gretzky fan. "Unbelievable in the offensive zone but then he's shutting down the first line on the other team. He's the all-around defenceman, He played here so he's really a guy I look up to."
While Laleggia still makes some mistakes in his zone, Harbinson has noticed that part of his game improving.
"First I think (assistant coach) Mike Hengen has done a great job with our D-core," said Harbinson. "Our D respect him. I think Joey is a smart kid and sometimes it's just time. Some leave before the time is right. He kills penalties and is put in a situation that maybe he was not a year ago. We're real happy with him and we're going to need him to continue that trend in the last 19 games and playoffs."
Playing better defensively was important for Laleggia to focus on after last year.
"I feel, and the coaching staff feels, I've improved and killing penalties now and feeling good, feeling more confident," said Laleggia, who will be looking to help the Vees defeat the Surrey Eagles at home tonight. "I have learned a lot from my teammates Derik Johnson, Tyler Hlookoff, Paul Bezzo, Kyle Beaulieau, guys like that are very sound, very good in their own end. I'm just going to keep on trying to improve. The coaching staff has done a lot to help me."

LONDON — Canadian banker Mark Carney is a Messiah, come to save the British economy and presumably Britain itself. At least that's how Jeremy Warner put it in the Friday editions of the London Daily Telegraph.
Columnists at other national dailies opined that the "silver-haired" 47-year-old governor-designate of the Bank of England had arrived at Thursday's televised get-to-know-you session of parliament's Treasury select committee looking like George Clooney — or Richard Nixon.
It is true that Carney will officially become the big stick at the Bank of England on Canada Day, that he was born in the Northwest Territories and is a great fan of the Edmonton Oilers. But perhaps stretching the Canadian connection a little too far, the man from the Daily Mail, Quentin Letts, declared that it was as if Carney had arrived at an annex across the street from Westminster wearing snow goggles to fend off the glare.
"In answers he was cautious, managerial, calm, very — well, Canadian. He is the sort of man who will study the menu at McDonald's as if it were the bill of fare at Simpson's-in-the-Strand," Letts went on in the finest florid traditions of Fleet Street.
In one of five articles about Carney's performance in Friday's Independent, the newspaper said Carney's official takeover might still be nearly five months off, but anticipation had already reached "a fever pitch" and that "an absurd impression" had taken hold "that he has easy answers to Britain's economic problems."
British journalists, like the MPs on the Treasury committee and banking executives in the City of London, were agog at what was hailed by many as a masterful three hour and forty minute jig. The Guardian called it the "Mark Carney circus" before concluding that the soon-to-be former head of Canada's central bank had been "slick and cerebral."
The Telegraph's Warner was equally effusive. For Warner, Carney exuded "a certain worldly wise confidence and openness."
Perhaps the most over the top was Michael Deacon, who wrote one of three pieces for the Telegraph and described the Harvard and Oxford-educated Canadian as having "a rugged pensiveness and playful twinkle," adding that his voice was so "slow, deep, paternally authoritative" that the Treasury committee chairman, Andrew Tyrie, was "lost in Dr. Carney's gaze."
But there were Doubting Thomases. The Financial Times and the Times both had somewhat exaggerated articles this week predicting that the economic miracle wrought in Canada was about to go south. The Times suggested that idyllic photographs of Ottawans skating on the Rideau Canal obscured cracks now showing in the ice, just as there were cracks in the Canadian economy. The Financial Times ran busy charts showing how Canada was facing a serious real estate bubble that could tarnish Carney's reputation.
Given the current, widespread public anger at bankers of every kind following financial scandals that have sometimes involved massive malfeasance, there was this lovely comment on one newspaper website. "Definition: CARNEY (noun) — A carnival worker, flim-flam artist."
The question of whether the colonial outsider's pay package of nearly $1.3 million was too much money for someone brought in to sort out Britain's economic mess at a time when it is being contaminated by Europe's even greater economic mess was deftly cast aside by the Independent's Mark Leftly.
"So what's Mr. Carney supposed to say?" Leftly asked. "'Actually, I understand that the British people are struggling: in exchange for leaving a country that I've steered through these horrific economic times , where I am revered as a saviour, and tipped for top political office, I'll come over and help rescue you guys at much less than you think I am worth."
Most of the rest of the mountain of newsprint that was devoted to Carney's brief public turn in a committee room by the Thames was full of the numbing financial minutia that has long been his bread and butter and the financial jargon that has long been his lexicon.
The newcomer's thoughts about whether he favoured stimulus over restraint, continuing to fix inflation targets, prosecuting cheating bankers and making the Bank of England's dealing more transparent were parsed, dissected and elaborated on at length.
The consensus was that his answers were a cautious yes, a let's talk about it yes and a yes.

AT&T Has Employees Embedded In The Gov't Providing Near Realtime Searches On Nearly Every Phone Call
from the forget-the-nsa dept
Oh, and making it even crazier: the government is paying AT&T to have a bunch of AT&T employees embedded with the DEA so that they can respond to requests to search this database faster. The government insists this is no big deal (of course) in part because the "database" is not actually held by the feds, but rather by AT&T. But, really, does that distinction really matter when the AT&T employees who can query it are basically DEA employees -- paid by the US government, working with DEA units? In order to query Hemisphere, the DEA and other agencies apparently just need an administrative subpoena, which is the equivalent of saying the DEA just needs to ask for it. There's no review or oversight by a court or anything.
Furthermore, this seems to totally decimate the argument that the NSA and its defenders were making a few weeks ago, claiming that with the dragnet collection of metadata on all phone calls, it was necessary for the NSA to store this data, because it would take way too long to have the telcos do the searches for the government. They seem to have conveniently left out that there was already a program in place whereby law enforcement folks could walk over to the next cubicle and get the AT&T employee paid for by the government run a search for them with no real oversight.
Also, as with the SOD "leads" it appears that those in law enforcement making use of Hemisphere data are told to launder the use of the database. The PowerPoint presentation (which was revealed -- perhaps accidentally -- in response to a FOIA request) talks about "protecting the program," which includes telling people who use the program "to never refer to Hemisphere in any official document." It also explains how to "wall off" Hemisphere by using the information gleaned via the program to then seek a more regular subpoena for a specific carrier's records. Basically, they use Hemisphere to find out key information and then tell law enforcement to use a different kind of subpoena to pretend the info came out of something different.
Furthermore, it appears they've been expanding the list of law enforcement people who can make use of Hemisphere. Washington state began allowing law enforcement in Washington to make use of Hemisphere, and they seem pretty excited about expanding such access to this massive database -- which adds 4 billion call records every day. While the program is considered "unclassified," the NY Times notes that it does not appear to have ever been mentioned publicly.
The tool is apparently quite good at locating people who are using burner phones and connecting various dots when people abandon one phone and pick up another. Obviously, you can see why such info might be valuable to law enforcement -- especially the Drug Enforcement Agency -- but there are serious questions about whether or not having access to all that data with so little oversight is actually legal. If you thought the NSA's "metadata" database was big, this is much bigger. And almost no one even seemed to know it existed.

What's up, MLBlogs world?!
So don't yell and kick and scream at me, but I know I'm a little behind on things. Yes, THIS was my last post on the blog here. I also fell behind on my other writing, but for a whole bunch of reasons. After that game in June, I not only ended up attending 75 Orioles home games, 6 on the road, along with 15-20 minor league games, but I have been working full-time and…
Enough excuses. I'm a slacker. I was too lazy to take the time to edit pictures and wait on MLBlogs server to upload them and so on and so on. That, and I'm still a bit annoyed that MLBlogs moved over to WordPress where the memory is quite limited, but I'm working on that issue for the upcoming season.
Hmm. So what has happened since my last post…
Well…a lot of stuff.
I'll post here and then about how the 2011 season ended along with offseason happenings…I hope.
Here's a few random tidbits in a random order…randomly:
Threw toilet seats at a Bowie Baysox game on field with Romeo –
Slept on the ground by the bullpen at Oriole Park –
And was on TV when I traveled to see the O's play in New York –
That's actually quite the story of my trip up to Yankee Stadium, but I'll save that for another time. In retrospect, it was a 4 hour rain delay turned into 2 am baseball followed by an afternoon game 11 hours later and yada yada yada. That is something I will have to post about eventually. Too funny/cool to ignore it.
So yeah. And Orioles Fanfest just happened. Gave away 20+ tickets to that event on Twitter, so if you don't follow me, be sure to (@2131andBeyond). I didn't even have a camera there, but do have a few pics I can scan in later to show.
Let me know what's up with you, baseball people. Non-baseball people, too. Leave a comment with something inspirational or a question for me, and I'll blog about it. I'm in school full time now and working full time, but I generally don't pay attention in class, so it will give me time to catch up on this kind of stuff. Especially when one of my writing classes has the overall assignment to make a blog…I think I can achieve that goal here.
Oh yeah, and I placed in the Top 100 for MLBlogs for 2011 (Check out the badge on the right hand side of the blog toward the top!), even though I only posted for 5.5 months on here. You readers rock. Definitely giveaways and such this coming season. I have too many bobbleheads and random shenanigans laying around that could be well used by you folk.
Talk soon.

I am conflicted regarding this tournament that is being held in Hamburg this week. Tennis betting or sports betting in general is ILLEGAL in the United States, but an ATP tournament in Germany is underwritten by an online sports betting company from Austria? First off I do not gamble on tennis or any sport so I find it a little disturbing that we are sending such conflicting signals to our children.

Loretta G. Kercher, Navy veteran, VA employee
July 23, 1917 – June 20, 2013
Loretta G. Kercher, a retired Navy Reserve lieutenant and World War II veteran, died in Canterbury Woods, Amherst. She was 95.
Miss Kercher, who was born in Buffalo, attended Mount St. Joseph Academy on a full scholarship and graduated summa cum laude from Nazareth College of Rochester in 1939 with a degree in business. She was a "Top Five Scholar" at the college and taught there in the 1940s.
In 1944, she was commissioned as a WAVE ensign in the Navy and served on active duty until 1946. Miss Kercher continued to serve her country in the Naval Reserve and retired as a lieutenant in 1977.
She was the first woman appointed as a contact representative for the Veterans Administration in 1946 and was later promoted to assistant contact officer, a position she held until 1952.
Miss Kercher then served as the director of volunteers for Veterans Affairs Medical Center. In this position, which she held until retiring in 1981, she developed one of the largest volunteer programs ever at a VA hospital. The program served as a model to VA hospitals nationwide.
An avid gardener, Miss Kercher served as a member of the Amherst Garden Club for more than 50 years.
She also was a member of Nazareth College of Rochester Alumni Association, Kappa Gamma Pi, American Legion, National Association of Retired Federal Employees, Ladies of Charity and the Altar & Rosary Society of St. John Maron Catholic Church.

It's just a game to Kevin Harvick.
That's the attitude he brings into Talladega Superspeedway, and that mindset about restrictor-plate racing has worked just fine for him. He's got three combined wins at Daytona and Talladega, 20 combined top-10 finishes.
"You try to put yourself in position. Sometimes you miss the wrecks, and sometimes you don't," Harvick shrugged.
Maybe he's oversimplifying the nuances of pack racing or tandem racing or blocking - whatever the style du jour is created by the current rules package. Harvick said the trick is just getting in the car and driving the race and letting the chips fall where they may.
"I've always just tried to approach it with (an) `I don't care attitude,' and just do whatever you have to do to try to put yourself in position. And, when you leave here, if you wreck, you can't be mad," Harvick said. "You see a lot of guys drive themselves crazy about having to come to Talladega, and complaining about what they think is right, or what they think is wrong.
"It is just a race. It really is. You know what is going to happen coming into the race. Sometimes you have absolutely nothing to do with what happens, and you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. The other side of that is you can drive through the biggest wreck in the world, and not have a scratch on your car. This is a part of NASCAR racing, and it has been for a long time. You might as well just enjoy it."
Harvick was dominant in the preliminary races during Daytona 500 Speedweeks, where he won the exhibition Sprint Unlimited and his qualifying race. It sent him into the 500 as the favorite, but he was caught in a multicar accident 34 laps into the race that ended his afternoon.
"Sometimes you push too hard, sometimes somebody else pushes too hard and you are in their mess, and you get out and go home," Harvick said.

By Larry Fine
BOSTON, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Presiding over a Boston Red Sox team that bubbles over with characters and charisma is a strong, quiet baseball lifer who fits the manager's job like a glove - John Farrell.
Besides handling a wide assortment of personalities, baseball is also a game of constant on-field adjustments between pitchers, hitters and fielders.
Farrell passed all the tests with flying colors in his first season at the helm in Boston, his rock-solid stability and know-how helping to put the club on track over the marathon season.
It added up to a sensational turnaround year for the Red Sox, who improved from 69-93 to 97-65 and earned a trip to the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
"John, since day one, gives us a lot of confidence," Red Sox slugger David Ortiz said after clinching the American League Championship Series over the Detroit Tigers.
"He wasn't trying to be a boss, he was trying to be a dad. He babysit all of us. He take a bullet for all of us. He let us know since day one that he got our back."
Ortiz's ringing endorsement was a major change from tensions between the players and combative manager Bobby Valentine during a 2011 season that was Boston's worst in 47 years.
Farrell, a former major league pitcher and former pitching coach for the Red Sox, was brought back to Boston through a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays, where Farrell had been given his first managerial job.
Despite so-so results and a pair of fourth-place finishes in Toronto, Farrell was the choice of Boston General Manager Ben Cherington, who knew him when Farrell was minor league director for the Cleveland Indians and then as pitching coach of the Red Sox team that won the 2007 World Series.
Cherington knew he and Farrell shared a similar outlook on the make-up of a team and believed they would form a strong partnership in rebuilding the Red Sox.
After a blockbuster trade sent some high-priced players to the Dodgers, Boston brought in battle-tested veterans with winning backgrounds including Mike Napoli, Shane Victorino and Jonny Gomes.
Farrell said that was a turning point for the franchise.
"It gave the ability to target those players that we felt were a good fit for Boston, both from a talent standpoint and a personality standpoint that would embrace the challenge here," he said.
"It's probably the way we've gone about doing it and the type of players we've brought in that's as rewarding as the success on the field.
"It's the type of people that are here. It goes back to targeting the right people that can play here in Boston."
Farrell, 51, also coaxed pitchers Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz, who he worked with back in his days as pitching coach, back to top form after their sub-par 2012 seasons.
His calm approach also helped him navigate a string of bullpen injuries before finding gold in current closer Koji Uehara, the fourth Boston pitcher used in the role.
"We knew the environment was different day one of spring training," said centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
"The guys that they brought in, it was just a fun clubhouse to be a part of all season. I think the fans could see it with our performance on the field." (Reporting by Larry Fine; Editing by Frank Pingue)

SALEM (AP) — The message came during dinner, delivered by one of the nurses who was traveling with the group of local World War II veterans.
The daughter of William Vorisek insisted they continue their trip as planned. That's what her dad would have wanted.
And so the 49 veterans, many of them from the Mid-Willamette Valley, did. They spent the weekend in Washington, D.C., with Honor Flight of Oregon, a member of the national nonprofit network that transports veterans free of charge to visit the World War II memorial. If only Vorisek could have been with them, it would have been a perfect trip.
Vorisek, 88, of Newberg died on the flight from Portland to Chicago. He was one of three veterans who boarded the plane with a portable oxygen concentrator. Witnesses said he collapsed in the aisle sometime around mid-flight after coming out of the restroom.
Three nurses with Honor Flight of Oregon tried to revive him before the plane landed at Midway International Airport. His daughter, Jill Dorrell, also of Newberg, had accompanied him on the trip and was by his side. He was pronounced dead at Holy Cross Hospital at 1 p.m. Friday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
The rest of the group continued on to Washington, D.C.
Vorisek, who served with the Army's 288th Signal Company and monitored and decoded Japanese communications in the South Pacific during the war, would have wanted them to.
"We felt so bad he didn't get to see the memorial," said Salem's Janet Long, who went as a guardian to Marine Corps veteran Ed Killeen, also of Salem. "They waited a year and half to two years for this. We knew how special it was for all of them.
"We dedicated the rest of the weekend to him."
The veterans visited other memorials, including the Korean and Vietnam, but seeing the World War II Memorial — their memorial — was most special.
"Tears of joy were running down my face," said Willard Scott, a Navy veteran who lives in Salem.
Long struggled to find the words to describe the emotions of the entire weekend. She thought of her late husband, Bill, who served in the Army during the Korean War, and her two brothers, who also served in the military.
Everyone thought of Vorisek.
"I think the vets were thinking of him often," said Gail Yakopatz, president of Honor Flight of Oregon. "But they were also remembering their other fallen friends and the new friends they were making."
The timing was perfect for their arrival — the day after the government shutdown was lifted. They were among the first veterans to be greeted by park rangers back on duty at the National Mall and Memorial Parks. Honor Flight groups were given access to the mall during the shutdown.
"They were so friendly and welcoming and ready to see veterans again," Yakopatz said. "It was really noticeable."
After seeing the memorials on Saturday, the group had dinner that night at a local Elks lodge, during which time there was a surprise mail call. Each veteran received a mail package. Family members, friends and schoolchildren had been enlisted to write letters ahead of time.
There were other highlights. The Southwest Airlines pilot on the flight from Portland to Chicago shook the hand of each veteran. Hundreds of people, many waving American flags, gathered at Portland International Airport to welcome them home.
"I got more people clapping hands for me on that trip than I did the rest of my life," said Vic Fryer, a World War II Navy veteran who lives in Salem.
Yakopatz said there were 100 Honor Flights scheduled for October out of 28 states. Those are 3,500 veterans nationwide who are getting an opportunity to visit their memorial.
Thousands more are waiting for their chance or missing out. We have 41 veterans from the Mid-Willamette Valley on a waiting list, and Yakopatz is busy raising funds for future flights.
Long and the Chemeketa Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution raised enough money to sponsor 10 veterans on the most recent trip. They originally set out to sponsor one.
Yakopatz said it costs about $350 to sponsor a veteran on an Honor Flight, factoring in airline discounts, and she hopes to be able to take 25 veterans from our area on a flight next spring.
"There's urgency to the program," She said. "Time is not on their side."

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

whats the
Commercialy, they are big enough. They've always got a big crowd at glasto, and they sold millions of records.
Artistically, see above. They aren't 'cool' but they connect with a lot of people in the same way Coldplay do.bazzo this'd this
I think I hate them now
I don't understand the hate
I remember they were tipped as one to watch on DiS (2009/2010?), with a cool little video of them busking. I saw them a few times before the 1st lp came out and thought they were great. There was certainly no hate on here then.
Saw them at Bestival a few years back on the main stage, they were brilliant. Can't beat a main stage act where everyone can sing along. They're far from my fave band, I'd be at Phoenix if they clashed. But fair play to them, perfect Glastonbury headliners.
I'm with you
Saw 'em twice before the album came out, once at Neil Young in Hyde Park, once at EoTR. People who like that sort of music loved them. Then everybody else started liking them, and most people who liked them back in the day stopped.
They'll get a really good crowd who are listening to the music not chatting all the way through. I might or might not watch them, depending on who clashes with them, but they're far from the worst band to ever headline Glastonbury.
Really? A main stage festival headline band and people are happily singing along. Seriously what is there to hate about that? Whether it's Iron Maiden, Neil Young or Daft Punk. Thousands of drunk people enjoying themselves is a pretty incredible experience.
What would you prefer in a headline act then?aactv this'd this
I quite liked The Cave
it was quite touching seeing their Reading footage a couple of years back where the whole tent was singing along with it, they looked quite stunned by it. They are probably seasoned pros at it all now. The record didn't do a lot for me however and I am a bit bored of that song now. Good luck to them, I can think of much shitter bands to have randomly made it huge in the UK and USA.zahidf, Lo-Pan, and Infinite_Jest this'd this
Yes, but despite them
the line up is fucking great. it has even caused me to do a swear.
It's the first Glastonbury line-up for years that I have been interested in. Not sure why, maybe I like a lot of indie bands at the moment or maybe this line-up has all the good ones from the last few years. If I was going I would be running between stages like a madman.
Open letter to the BBC - PLEASE DO NOT WASTE THE TV COVERAGE!
no brainer
they may not appease folks around these parts but they are a venerable colossus in terms of national and international success. And like everyone says, there's plenty else on at Glasto if you're not a fan.Aaron this'd this
it's over
the dream has died
everybody go home
I neither like nor loathe Mumford & Sons...
In terms of satisfying most of the audience and increasing demand for tickets, it makes perfect sense, of all the current British bands and artists, they're amongst the very biggest draws. I think people underestimate just how popular they are, not only here but all over the world. Like it or not, they're in an elite group of artists when it comes to selling tickets.
In terms of being a credible "indie" headliner, well, when was the last time Glasto went for that? Look at recent headliners - Muse, Panic At The Disco, Jay-Z, The Who, The Killers, Coldplay, Moby, Stereophonics, etc etc, etc. Get over it.
blur, Neil young, Bruce Springsteen
they headlined the Other Stage on Friday in 2008
and drew the lowest turnout that stage has ever seen for a closing slot
What?! Oh my God, the outraged...I am OUTRAGED!
A wildly popular band headlining at a wildly popular festival?
I was expecting Urusei Yatsura or Shonen Knife.Comaboy this'd this

Mad About Metallic: Wallpaper that Makes a Statement
Recently, we've shared a range of design inspiration and resources for wallpaper. Today, I'd like to delve into the realm of metallic wallpaper. These prints have the power to add interest and dimension which can elevate your space to the next level.
Committing to wallpaper can be an intimidating decision. However, there are some great success stories derived from making bold moves in this department. The key is starting with something you love and building your space around that element. The metallics aren't for everyone, but they do make a statement. Why play it safe when there are endless numbers of awesome products available?
In some instances, rooms fully clad in wallpaper are absolutely stunning. That said, it's important to consider balance and contrast in any room incorporating some of the more vivid prints. Think of this paper as a mural on the wall and allow it to shine in otherwise simple environments. Use wallpaper to incorporate pattern, color and texture into your space, and have fun with it!
For those brave enough to attempt, wet your feet with these images. Are you ready to take the plunge?

SPRINGFIELD, Ill.
(AP) -- More than 2,000 deer in 76 Illinois
counties likely have died from a virus that often kills the animals but poses
no risk to humans.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources
released an update Thursday on epizootic hemorrhagic disease or EHD. State
officials say the highest number of deer came from Cook, Calhoun, Coles, Macon
and Shelby
counties. The gnat-borne virus causes high fever and severe internal bleeding.
The first deaths in Illinois
were reported in August.
officials are asking hunters or landowners who find sick or dead deer to
contact their nearest IDNR field office.
Other animals such as elk, mule deer,
pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep are vulnerable.
There is no vaccine or effective treatment
for the disease.

It's already been a strong season for the Warwick girls' hockey team, and it got even better last Wednesday.
The Lady Titans knocked off the Barrington co-op team 4-1 at Portsmouth Abbey High School to win the J.P. Medeiros Jr. Memorial Cup.
Arielle Frank started the game in net and stopped 12 of the 13 shots she faced before being replaced by Kayleen Murphy, who stopped all 11 shots she saw.
Madison Armstrong scored Warwick's first goal in the first period, followed by a goal apiece from sisters Jaime and Alex Given in the second period. Abbey Ellis scored in the third period for the team's fourth goal.
Though the game was a non-league contest, Warwick sits at 6-3 on the season and is second in the DeCosta division, with the fourth most points in Division I.
The Medeiros Cup is held annually in January to raise funds to help Mt. Hope students continue their education past high school. The game is held in memory of J.P. Medeiros, a former Mt. Hope hockey player who was killed in a car accident in 2002.

Note - ignore the (E). This just means that Erika has added some information to a post.
Atos haven't given me enough points to carry on claiming ESA
Welcome to an ever-growing club of people caught up in this system. Unless you're one of the lucky few, some time after your Atos assessment, you will receive a letter from the DWP telling you that you have scored between 0 and 14 points at your 'medical'.
Edit: The system was changed as of 28th October 2013. While the stikky is being updated to reflect this, here is a link to the DWP advice on appeals.
If you appeal this decision, your benefit will revert to the Assessment Rate as of the date of the letter. (E) It is important to note that only those appealing the decision where not enough points have been awarded for ESA will have the assessment rate reinstated. People who appeal a decision when they have not attended a medical and have subsequently had their claim terminated or appealing ESA for any other reason will not be entitled to a reinstatment of benefit pending the outcome of their appeal. (E)
Everyone receives the Assessment rate for the first three months [91 days] of their claim, but if you are successful in your appeal, the additional payments for ESA are backdated to day 92 of your claim. Here's a link to the figures.
With the letter telling you the result of your assessment, there should be an appeal packcontaining the standard form GL24. It's called 'If you think our decision is wrong'. You need to fill in the GL24 and send it back within one month. You can also (E) download the form online(E), or pick one up at your benefits office. Don't go over the one month deadline for sending or taking it back, and take time to fill in as much detail as you can to support your case.
If you need help with completing the form, you can try the CAB, Welfare Rights [through your local council], or a local law centre.
The appeal form will go to a DM [Decision Maker] at the DWP, who will consider the points you've raised and write to you again with a decision.
If the DM agrees with your appeal, then you will come off the Assessment rate and back onto ESA [backdated to day 92 of your claim], according to which work group you've been put into. Amounts are in the link above.
As said before, from the date of the letter containing the appeal pack, your benefit reduces to the Assessment Rate until such time as you manage appeal or go to a tribunal and have the decision overturned. If a decision is upheld, you will receive back payments of the difference between the assessment and ESA rates, currently about £25-30pw [see the link above.]
Here's a link to the DWP on the appeals process.
(E)Or click here for the DWP Code of Appeals procedure (E)
Otherwise, you will be looking at the second stage of the appeal process, a tribunal run by a separate service. This stage can take anything from 9 to 12 months at the time of writing, going by other caggers' stories. The tribunal stage is covered in the posts which follow below
During this time, you will unfortunately stay on the assessment rate until a different decision is made.
(E) New WCA Handbook for ATOS (E)
Template to the tribunal, once you have received DWP submission
Erika has been helping me to work on a template based on my appeal when my IB was suspended, following an Atos assessment. Thank you for your time, Erika.
It may have its limitations and I apologise if it does, but Erika and I thought it might help anyone who is preparing for a tribunal. It has been designed to be adapted for people's own situations.
I hope it is helpful to someone. The template follows.
My best, HB.
[Heading: name, date and venue of hearing]
National insurance number
I, (name) am appealing against the decision made on (date) to decline the award of Incapacity Benefit/Employment and Support Allowance (delete as appropriate) on the grounds that I have not attained 15 points from the combined Physical and Mental Health descriptors following my Personal Capability Assessment (for IB)/ Work Capability Assessment (for ESA) on [date].
I believe and I will demonstrate below that by scoring the descriptors relevant to my condition correctly that I do attain the required threshold of 15 points.
[This link will take you to the DWP's own PDF document about the assessment and 'descriptors' scoring system they use. From page 18 onwards, there are descriptions of all the conditions they or Atos can look at and the number of points allotted for each, depending on the severity of the symptoms. We allocated the points we thought they should have been done by Atos, then itemised it all in the letter below.]
I hope that the Tribunal will support my appeal and that the Tribunal will authorise the re-instatement of my award.
I would like to refer the Tribunal to Item (number) in the Appeal Submission – Form IB85/ESA85 Medical Report. I shall now explain where the report's content is inaccurate.
Item insert number – IB85/ESA85 Medical Report (Appeal Submission pages insert page numbers)
The report does not reflect accurately those matters discussed and assessed at the medical examination that I attended on [date]. Referring to the content of the Medical Report Form, on:
In here, insert bullet points referring to what the report stated, followed by what the accurate assessment should have said, for example:
- Page *insert page number: Standing: the report stated that I am unable to stand for more that 30 minutes without having to move around. This ability was not tested as part of the Assessment, most of which was undertaken in a sitting position, so I find it difficult to understand how the doctor can disagree with my opinion. In addition, my enclosed letter of support from my consultant of (name hospital) NHS trust clearly contradicts the ATOS assessment in this area.
And continue like this in bullet point form, pointing out the contradictions throughout the report and scoring.
When scoring the Personal Capability Assessment/Work Capabilities Assessment I feel that both the Medical Services doctor and Decision Maker have over-estimated my level of ability. By revising the Score card to take account of my actual Physical and Mental Health conditions, I am of the view that I satisfy the threshold of 15 points required for the award.
In conclusion, I believe that the scoring of my Personal Capability Assessment/Work Capability Assessment should be revised to take account of my actual Physical and Mental Health abilities.
I hope the Tribunal will support and find in favour of my appeal, determining that I am incapable of work from [date].

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Three's a Crowd
Following the previous mission, you may be at a loss as to what to do. Start by driving around, preferably back towards your safe house on Mohawk Avenue. Once you've driven around for long enough, the game will inform you that you've received your first text message, and it will let you know how to read it. It appears Roman is in some trouble, and he'll ask you to head back to the taxi office. Do that now.
When you arrive, you'll find yourself unsurprised to see that the loan sharks you dodged earlier are once again after your cousin for the money he owes them. They start messing the place up a bit, but when one makes the mistake of holding a knife to Niko, he shows him who's boss. The two Albanians run off, one with a broken arm, and thereafter Roman asks you to go pick up Mallorie and her friend from the subway while he cleans up the mess the loan sharks left.
The route to the subway once you're in Roman's cab will be laid out on the GPS, so just follow the HUD's instructions. You'll swing right from the taxi office's garage, be brought back to Mohawk Avenue, and will ultimately bob and weave your way to the south side of the borough, where these two women will be waiting for you at the Hove Beach Station on Crockett Avenue. Pull up in front of them where the arrow is located, and beep your horn to catch their attention. Once they're in the car, all you have to do is head to Michelle's apartment to drop her off.
Michelle's place is on Mohawk Avenue, but it's a ways north from your safe house. Follow the GPS route to get there easily, heading towards the border of Downtown and Rotterdam Hill. As you drive, the conversation will get mildly awkward (but in a good way!) as Mallorie attempts to set you up with Michelle. It's at this point that you will be introduced to the wide range of relationships and types of relationships Grand Theft Auto IV has for you. The good news? You'll drop Michelle off at her place uneventfully, but she's interested in seeing you again socially and exchanges numbers with you. Nice!

The premiere party for the movie "Burlesque" was just the sort of glitzy Hollywood affair that Ronni Chasen, a veteran movie publicist, loved, and as she had for four decades, she worked the room with relish. As celebrities, including Jane Fonda and the film's stars Cher and Christina Aguilera, mingled around a rooftop pool, Chasen moved among the revelers with a songwriter whose work she was promoting.
Ronni Chasen: An article in the Nov. 17 Section A about the fatal shooting of Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen in Beverly Hills incorrectly described a witness who heard gunshots. Nahid Shekarchian is a 33-year resident of the neighborhood, not 33 years old. The article also misspelled the last name of publicist Stan Rosenfield as Rosenfeld. —
"She was happy-go-lucky and gossipy and fun, just like she always was," said Jim Dobson, a publicist who crossed paths with Chasen around midnight.
Less than an hour and a half later, Chasen was dead, gunned down in her Mercedes in an assault that baffled police and made a woman who spent her career touting others, the talk of Hollywood. When word of the slaying broke, some studios canceled meetings and conference calls that had been scheduled to strategize their Oscar campaigns — Chasen's specialty. One publicist set up a reward fund and others closed their offices for the day.
"I'm devastated by this," said Academy Award-winning producer Richard Zanuck, who had worked with Chasen since 1982 and had talked to her earlier in the day about the awards season campaign for his movie "Alice in Wonderland."
Detectives with the Beverly Hills Police Department spent Tuesday trying to piece together the final minutes of Chasen's life and discern a motive for the killing of a 64-year-old single woman who, according to friends, had no enemies.
"She was not a drinker. She never did drugs…. She had solid, really nice people as clients who became sort of her family," said New York publicist Kathie Berlin, a friend of 45 years.
Chasen attended the movie premiere and after party with client Diane Warren, who wrote the song "You Haven't Seen the Last of Me" for the "Burlesque" soundtrack. Sometime after midnight, she steered her new E350 sedan away from the W Hotel in Hollywood, apparently en route to her Westwood condominium. At 12:28 a.m., residents of Whittier Drive, a quiet, tree-lined street often used as a cut through between Sunset and Wilshire boulevards, heard gunshots.
Nahid Shekarchian, 33, said she was in her house on Whittier when she heard gunshots — "boom-boom-boom" — and opened the curtain of her upstairs bedroom to see a Mercedes crashed into a light pole. Shekarchian rushed to the car and peered through the shattered passenger's side window. She said she saw Chasen in the driver's seat bleeding profusely from her head and chest.
Another neighbor, she said, walked to the window and asked, "Can I help you?" Shekarchian said Chasen was breathing "very heavily" and did not respond.
Chasen was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center at 1:30 a.m., according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office. Coroner's spokesman Ed Winter said she sustained multiple gunshot wounds to her chest.
Shekarchian told police she didn't see anyone else in the vicinity. She said officers told her that the perpetrator might have been on foot.
Beverly Hills police fanned out across the Westside on Tuesday in search of clues. Officers were seen removing computer hard drives, compact discs and file boxes from her luxury high-rise apartment. Investigators also searched her company, Chasen & Co., in West Hollywood. Police declined to say whether any of Chasen's belongings were missing from the vehicle.
Beverly Hills Police Sgt. Lincoln Hoshino said the investigation remained open. Detectives were pursuing a range of possible scenarios, including one in which the perpetrator followed Chasen home from the hotel and another in which she was the victim of road rage.
"We don't know what the motive is," Hoshino said. "This is a fresh, active investigation."
Asked whether officers were reviewing video surveillance from businesses or the many mansions Chasen would have passed on her drive along Sunset, Hoshino said, "The department will conduct a thorough investigation and that will be part of it."
Investigators were questioning Chasen's friends and associates, many of whom had seen and talked to her in the hours before her death. Vivian Mayer-Siskind, a close friend for many years, said Chasen's employees told her that Chasen had called the office from her cellphone at 12:22 a.m. — six minutes before she was shot — leaving a to-do list for the following day on an answering machine.
"That was typical of Ronni," said Mayer-Siskind, referring to what she described as her tireless work ethic.
After hearing about Chasen's death from industry friends, Mayer-Siskind drove to the Beverly Hills police station to learn more. She later went to Chasen's office, where four staffers worked, to help write an obituary. By then, she said, the office was swarming with police, who were poring through Chasen's phone records, listening to her messages, going through her computer and taking photographs.
Chasen, born in 1946 in New York, started in the entertainment industry as a soap opera actress, Mayer-Siskind said. She began working for the publicity firm Rogers & Cowan in 1980 and later was a top publicist for MGM. She was best known for her awards season campaigns. She worked on campaigns for more than 100 movies, including last year's Best Picture Oscar winner, "The Hurt Locker," as well as "Cocoon," "Baby Boom," "On Golden Pond" and the 1989 Best Picture winner "Driving Miss Daisy."
In an age where publicists have Twitter feeds and reality shows, Chasen was somewhat old-fashioned and clients were producers, directors and composers rather than starlets.
"There were people who were newer in the business and have reputations as being hipper, but what I loved about Ronni is not just that she knew everyone but everyone knew and liked her," said Randall Wallace, the director of "Secretariat." He had planned to meet with her Tuesday afternoon to explore a possible Oscar campaign for that movie.
"She was the last of the real old-school publicists," said Valerie Van Galder, the former president of marketing for Sony Pictures.
Van Galder said that when she worked for Chasen in the mid-1980s, she relied on a teletype machine to dictate correspondence. But Chasen found an affinity for new technology because it allowed her to reach journalists at any time or place, Van Galder said. She was never far from her Blackberry and sent e-mail blasts extolling her clients' latest projects at all hours.
Friend Heidi Schaefer said that during a vacation last month to Paris, she caught Chasen using her Blackberry during a church chamber music concert. She never stopped working.
"Her hours were hideous and she organized and went to all of those functions we dread," Zanuck said.
Clients described her as fiercely protective and devoted. Producer Irwin Winkler said that when his 2004 film "De-Lovely" was not nominated for a Golden Globe, Chasen "was furious."
"She screamed and yelled at [members of] the Hollywood Foreign Press [Assn.]," the group that puts on the annual awards show, Winkler recalled.
Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer said Chasen refused to let him be jaded about the annual contests, which he greeted with "an in-built disdain."
"For 20 years, she came up with new reasons I should care," he said.
According to friends, Chasen was married once and had divorced years ago. She had no children, but, friends said, counted her clients and fellow publicists as family.
Stan Rosenfeld, a publicist and longtime friend of Chasen, said he feared that her work would be lost in the shock of her death.
"I don't remember anything hitting the nerve of this town quite like this," he said.
Times staff writers Dawn Chmielewski, Claudia Eller, Megan Garvey, Victoria Kim, Susan King, Kate Linthicum, Todd Martens, Nicole Sperling and Steve Zeitchik contributed to this report.

The Port of Long Beach has reached a settlement in a lawsuit brought by the American Trucking Assn. over disputed elements of a plan to clean up the air around the nation's busiest seaport complex.
Long Beach officials have agreed to strip their plan of all requirements that are not directly tied to the goal of getting cleaner trucks on the road, including a demand that trucking companies file financial reports.
Under the change, trucking companies would agree to comply with environmental, safety and security requirements. They would need to register their trucks with the port and equip them with radio frequency identification tags.
Still in place is a ban on all 1988 and older trucks from the ports. As of January, the ports will allow only 2004-or-later trucks. A year into the program, both ports have already beaten their most optimistic projections for new trucks and reduced emissions.

Gone is Santonio Holmes and his Super Bowl MVP performance of 9 catches for 131 yds. and the game winning Touchdown. Enter in a trio of young Wide Receivers to pick up the slack and take on a prominent role in the Steeler offense. Normally it takes a minimum of 2-3 full years before these up and comers really to start to catch on and "get it" as they say. NFL offenses are complex, and the defenders are faster, stronger, more experienced than what they are used to seeing in college. Considering the complexity of the play calls and situations that young players are put in, it's even more amazing when you see rookies and 2nd year players really make an impact so early in their career.
Such is the story with 2nd year receiver Mike Wallace, and the rookie duo of Antonio Brown and Emmanuel Sanders. Speedster Mike Wallace burst onto the scene into 2009, quickly solidifying the 3rd WR spot on the offense and by the end of the year was seeing significant playing time in all situations. Some said that he was just reaping the benefits of veterans Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes, and no one was sure if he could handle a starring role in 2010. Wallace took that rookie year and turned it into a 60 catch, 1,257 yd. and 10 Touchdown campaign in 2010. With Holmes gone and Ward mainly the slot/possession receiver, it was up to Wallace to take on a bigger role, a role in which he excelled to say the least. His 21.0 yd. per catch average was 2nd best in the NFL at the end of the regular season. With so much potential the sky is the limit for this superstar. Not only can Wallace outrun just about anybody or anything on the planet, but his improved route running has made him an even more complete threat.
Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians runs a lot of multiple receiver sets in his offense, so having players capable of being effective in the 3rd and 4th spots is a must. Brown and Sanders have done just that. Both players combined for 44 catches for 573 yds. and 2 TD's (Brown also had a kick off return for a TD). Not so much the amount of yards but it's the catches that are most significant for these 2. Sanders has been a big play target for Ben Roethlisberger, proving his not afraid to go across the middle and leave himself exposed to the big hit, so he can make the catch. That's the type of attitude and performance you get from a player learning under the veteran tough guy himself, Hines Ward. In a Steeler offense you don't survive the roster cuts in August unless you can go across the middle. Sanders is not only fast, his knack for finding the holes in the defense to make the big catch is becoming more and more regular. Antonio Brown has been a bright spot not only in the return game, but he's been making a name for himself when the game is on the line. Normally a Quarterback will look to his trusty, veteran, players when you need that must have 1st down to keep a drive alive. Brown has proven more than capable of filling that role, especially in the playoffs. An intelligent, tough player, Antonio has given the Steeler offense yet another outlet for defenses to be concerned about. In the 2010 Dvisional and Conference Championship games, Roethlisberger looked to Antonio Brown both times on 3rd down in the final minutes of the game to help seal the win. Against the Ravens he made a circus catch clutched to his helmet as Ben tossed up a prayer on 3rd and 19. Ben may have had full confidence in Brown to make that catch, but to the fans on that play it was a prayer and Tone made sure he answered it. In the Jets game, he again somehow found Brown coming free on 3rd down to make sure the Steelers didn't allow the Jets another offensive possession.
Both the Ravens and Jets have big names in their secondaries, each one of them capable of handling virtually any NFL wide receiver. The Packers are no different and in many ways are better, so the test will be great. Having gone up against such top notch competition this year and especially here of late will serve these young guys well as they enter the biggest stage of their lives. One thing is clear though, with these 3 pass catchers still getting their feet wet in their NFL careers, they have proven they have what it takes in big game situations. Ben will need solid performances from all of his receivers and a few big plays will certainly be a factor in the final outcome. Clearly all three of guys "get it", and that's good news for the Steelers heading into Super Bowl XLV.

Devils deal Canadiens potentially costly loss
Newark, NJ – The New Jersey Devils played the role of spoiler Tuesday by upending the playoff-bound Montreal Canadiens, 3-2, at Prudential Center.
Martin Brodeur made 19 saves for the Devils, who received goals from Patrik Elias, Jacob Josefson and Steve Sullivan to win for the third time in four games.
Though mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, New Jersey hurt Montreal's chances at capturing the Northeast Division title and avoided being swept in the three-game season series.
"We know we're a good team. It's unfortunate we missed the playoffs, but we still want to compete and prove we can play well," Brodeur said.
Carey Price stopped 21-of-24 shots while Lars Eller and Max Pacioretty both scored for the Canadiens, whose current 1-5 slump has them tied with the Boston Bruins atop the division at 59 points apiece. Boston has a game in hand on Montreal.
The Canadiens fell behind 3-0 when Sullivan scored on the power play 4:36 into the second period.
They caught a break on their own man-advantage 1:57 later as Pacioretty's pass out front was redirected into the back of the net off the skate of Devils defenseman Adam Larsson.
Eller cut the difference to 3-2 with a shot that went off the post, off Brodeur and in with 21 seconds to go before the second intermission, but the visitors managed just five shots in a scoreless third period to come up short.
"We made a game of it, but we didn't make a good enough push in the third period," Canadiens forward Brian Gionta said.
New Jersey scored on the power play with 6:05 left in the opening period as Elias got behind the defense, secured Travis Zajac's pass and went top shelf over Price's right shoulder.
Dainius Zubrus set up Josefson's first goal of the season with a pass from behind the net at the 17:36 mark for a 2-0 edge.
Game Notes
Montreal finishes its regular season with road games at Winnipeg and Toronto, while Boston plays home games against Tampa Bay and Ottawa around a road title in Washington ... New Jersey will host Pittsburgh on Thursday before ending the season at the Rangers on Saturday.

No Inter offer for Tottenham target Damiao, insists Internacional president
January 09, 2013
Internacional president Giovanni Luigi has denied reports linking reported Tottenham target Leandro Damiao with Inter Milan.
The Brazil international is contracted to his club until 2015, but has been the subject of much speculation over a possible move to Europe.
Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas is a known admirer of the 23-year-old striker, but the Nerazzurri are now also said to be showing an interest in the player who was the leading goal scorer at the 2012 Olympic football tournament.
An offer from Spurs was rejected by Internacional last summer, with the Brazilian club feeling the player had been undervalued.
Luigi has previously revealed that Damiao has a €60million (£47million) buyout clause in his contract, and has now rebuffed talk of a bid from Italy.
"Inter Milan interested in Leandro Damiao? Someone told me about it, but there were no direct contacts and we have never received a direct offer," Luigi claimed.
"This did happen with some clubs from the English Premier League.
"The future of the player? When we get an important offer, we will evaluate it. But to sell in January, this would have to be a very, very attractive offer."

As the state capital of Georgia, Atlanta is one of the most vibrant and culturally diverse cities in the south. In fact, Atlanta has always been a major cultural and economic center; in the 1960's, it was a major organizing center during the Civil Rights movement. In 1996, Atlanta hosted the summer Olympics. Now, the city is experiencing exponential growth as new residents flock from sprawling suburbs to urban townhomes and apartments in Atlanta.
Weather wise, Atlanta is one of those special cities that experiences all four seasons. The city receives just under two inches of annual snowfall, with an average annual temperature of about 61 degrees. While you can't hit the slopes, you can enjoy more than 100 golf courses, 200 public tennis courts, and hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails—practically year-round!
Average rental rates in Georgia come in 15% lower than the national average rental rate. For instance, a 1-bedroom apartment averages $890 and a 2-bedroom apartment averages $890. Within the metropolitan area, though, rental rates tend to be higher. As of February 2016, 1-bedroom apartments for rent within 10 miles of Atlanta averaged $1,183 and 2-bedroom apartments averaged $1,552. Popular neighborhoods for renting an apartment in Atlanta include East Atlanta Village Buckhead, Brookhaven, Emory, Druid Hills, Reynoldstown, Inman Park, and Little Five Points.
Relocating to Atlanta for work? You're not alone. While many cities face a stagnant job market, Atlanta job postings have grown two-times faster than postings nationally. Hospitality jobs have grown more than 200% in three years, with internet security jobs and wireless mobility job postings on the rise as well. Technology isn't the only industry that has people scrambling for apartments in Atlanta. Healthcare continues to be a fertile and growing industry, along with engineering, taxes, and auditing.

Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
I bought this old photograph for 25¢ at the Peddler's Mall in Hopkinsville a few days ago. I found it in a stack of old family photos, and I have no idea who the baby was or why anyone would sell its photograph.
Maybe the photograph documents two of the most precious things the parents of this baby possessed -- the baby in its christening gown and an exquisitely embellished crazy quilt.
Or then again, maybe the crazy quilt was a prop that the photographer used with all the babies.
Either way, the quilt is beautiful. I notice that on the right side below the baby's hand, there seems to be a vine with appliqued flowers.
Just as a guess, I'd say the photo might have been taken in the 1920's. I say that because it reminds me a little of my mother's baby picture.
