Led by a dynamic duo, the host Newark Memorial High boys basketball team claimed a 66-50 win over Las Lomas on Saturday in a North Coast Section Division II quarterfinal.
Guards Jo Jo Zamora (22 points) and Joey Frenchwood (19) helped Newark punch its ticket to the semifinals and a spot in the NorCal playoffs, which begin March 6. Newark could play in the newly formed Open Division or Division II — where it was Northern California runner-ups last season.
Top-seeded Newark (21-7), which is also the defending section champion, will host No. 4 Montgomery-Santa Rosa (23-7) on Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Newark had an 8-6 lead after one quarter, but used a 7-0 run at the start of the second quarter to take a 15-6 lead. Frenchwood scored eight points in the second, including a 3-pointer, to end the half, giving Newark a 27-16 lead. for the game, Frenchwood hit 8 of 11 shots from the field and had five assists.
He continued that stellar play with eight points in the third.
But in the fourth, Las Lomas (17-11) chipped away. Led by Ben Wood's 28 points and five 3-pointers, the No. 9 Knights closed to within 46-42 after a 7-0 run that bridged the third and fourth quarters.
That's when Zamora took over. The senior, who went 8 of 15 from the floor, scored seven straight points including a 3-pointer with 5:23 left, to give the Cougars a 53-42 lead.
Girls basketball
Salesian 78, St. Patrick-St. Vincent 42: The host Pride (25-5) blew open a close game with a 20-0 run bridging the second and third quarters and ran away from the seventh-seeded Bruins (15-14) in an NCS Division IV quarterfinal.
Mariya Moore scored 19 points, grabbed seven rebounds and handed out seven assists for No. 2 Salesian, which will host No. 6 Marin Catholic in Wednesday's semifinals.
The Pride led just 26-24 with four minutes, four seconds to go in the second quarter after St. Patrick-St. Vincent's Dot Bibb made two free throws. From that point to the end of the half, Salesian ran off 10 consecutive points.
Then the Pride scored the first 10 points of the third quarter before Patrice Yap finally made one of two free throws with 4:42 on the clock.
For good measure, Salesian scored the next six points for a 26-1 run.
"We just focused on running and playing hard defense and getting as many steals as we can," Moore said. "It was an elimination game, so everyone's going to come out hard."
Zoe Correal scored 15 points for the Pride and added eight rebounds.

10 forumers from mathsisfun went to some kind of voyage. But the ship sunk and they are now at small tropical island in the ocean. But the natives didn't like them. So they are arranging them in a row, one after another. They are putting hats on each head. I am last, so I can see that the hats are black or white. They are telling is that if 9 of us to guess the color of their hat we'll be free. First the last (me) tells his hat's color, then the nineth and so on to the first. The natives left us time to make a plan.
If someone wants to play he must say which of the nine is and everybody must think out a plan how to save themselves.
Here is what every person see:
When you examine a plan I'll tell that my hat is black or white according to the plan.
Please do not read other persons

Nicely constructed! I will be "V". I haven't looked yet.
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
Yo-ho-ho! Someone have understood me! Right, mathsisfun! Now you and I have to wait for someone else to get in and we're ready to make a plan. Now you can look at the V person hide, but not in others.
I'll wait and see what will happen.
IPBLE: Increasing Performance By Lowering Expectations.
I think I get this. Person X can see everyone's hats except his own, person IX can see everyone's except his and X's, person VIII can see everyone's except his, IX's and X's and so on until person I, who can't see anyone's hat.
Well, a crude strategy would be for X to say the colour of IX's hat, then IX can say that colour and be safe. VIII would then say VII's colour and VII would be safe. Then VI would save V, IV would save III and II would save I. I'm almost certain that there has to be something better than that, as that one would guarantee the safety of only 5 people.
Well, I think this is one of those reverse-logic thingummys, where the person who knows least has the most chance of survival, so on that basis I'll be person I.
*looks at hide tag*
Ooh, helpful.

I'm meant to look at my hidden text now, right?
We have 4 players already. And we can start thinking a plan. A hunt- satifice me.
IPBLE: Increasing Performance By Lowering Expectations.
Oh, Mathsy have already gave a strategy!
But there's better. Otherwise the game would be too easy.
IPBLE: Increasing Performance By Lowering Expectations.
ook ook ook ook ook ook ook
So we have time to plan. Let's get the silly questions out of the way first.
1) Can't we just tell each other our hat's colors, since we have time to plan?
2) What is stopping the people in front from looking down the line in the other direction?
3) The person in back can see all of the hats. Can't he just be spokesperson and tell the colors?
4) I assume the natives are watching and wouldn't be happy if we just took our own hat off to look at the color.
5) Can we use nonverbal communication? For example, starting at the back of the line, we tap shoulders. A tap on the left indicates a black hat, and a tap on the right a white. Each person would pass on the sequence of taps until the person in front receives nine taps. Everyone then knows their hat (except he in the back).
6) Look up into the sun, only hold your hand up so it blocks the sun's sphere from your view. If you notice light reflected onto your arm/hand, you have a white hat; if not, it's black.
7) jU appears to have become an orangutan, like the Librarian in Terry Pratchett books.
El que pega primero pega dos veces.
1) We only get given our hats when we are doing the trial. We don't wear them while we are planning.
2) Everyone is buried up to their neck.
3) No. I don't know why, but no.
4) I refer you to point 2.
5) I refer you to point 4.
6) I refer you to point 5.
7) I agree, apart from that she didn't become one, she just is one.
Disclaimer: I know none of these things for a fact (apart from 7), and you will need to wait for krazzi_holmz to see whether they are true or not.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
If 9 of us are right we all go free.
If "X" (krassi) tells "IX", and "IX" tells "VIII", on down the line, we all go free.
Or not?
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
So, if IX has a white hat, then X would say 'white' to tell IX that they have a white hat. But then, IX would have to say 'white' to survive. What happens if VIII is wearing a black hat?
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
oh thanks being an orangutan is real fun
So, if IX has a white hat, then X would say 'white' to tell IX that they have a white hat. But then, IX would have to say 'white' to survive. What happens if VIII is wearing a black hat?
So, if you can only say your own hat colour to survive, and 9 of us have to guess right, then one person must start the deduction process and everyone else has to get it right ... right?
So ... hmmm ... "X" could say a word like "BWWBBWBWW", and everyone else would know their hat!
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
In another version of this I know, if you say anything else apart from 'black' or 'white', you are executed. So we better check that before krassi_holmz says 'BWWBBWBWW'!
Is the chance of having black/white equally likely? If we knew that there was going to be exactly 5 white and 5 black, we could guess correctly, but I'm sure it won't be that easy.
That would technically still work. krazzi_holmes says BWWBBWBWW and then he would get executed and everyone else would go free. 9 corrects = we win.
You're right about the 5 of each hats. krazzi_holmes would count 4 of one hat and 5 of another and so deduce his own hat, then IX would do a similar thing by looking at the 8 hats he can see and using what krazzi_holmes had said, and so on through the line, making it a 100% survival rate. But that relies on the 5 hats thing being true.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
krazzi_holmes says BWWBBWBWW and then he would get executed...
I thought that would be letting the team down!! Do you mind, krassi?
They are telling is that if 9 of us to guess the color of their hat we'll be free.
A picky question: does this mean we'll all be free (all 10 people), or the just the people who guessed correctly (not the person who got it wrong)?
I've had a thought. Using the same reasoning that I used with the 5 black, 5 white hats, the same thing could happen for any number of white hats, as long as the number was known.
So, the first four people could make their responses into a binary code to tell everyone how many white hats there are. The first person would have to do the units, as he's the only one that knows the exact amount. The second person could then do the 2's, as he knows the amount within a tolerance of 1 and so on.
The others could track how many of each hat had already gone by remembering the people's responses and whether they died or not. This method would guarantee the survival of 6 people. It's not brilliant, but still a better strategy than before.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
Well done, Mathsy!
You're very close to the absolute strategy!
And the strategy when we know exactly how many are the white hats is very close!
Here's a hunt: The idea of binary code is right, but the nineth person didn't needs to know the exact number of white hats.
That waser VERY BIG HINT!
IPBLE: Increasing Performance By Lowering Expectations.
Oh, I get it now. The binary code is only for the benefit of the people in front, so it doesn't need to go up to 10. X, IX and VIII can all make a binary code to indicate any number of hats between 0 and 7 and as there are only 7 people after that, then that will guarantee their safety.
This strategy would give an average of 8.5 survivors.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
OK. You have to reduce your strategy only a little to give 9.5 survivours.
IPBLE: Increasing Performance By Lowering Expectations.
Hmm. That means that we need to guarantee 9 survivors. It's impossible to guarantee the safety of X, because he doesn't know anything, so he needs to give a response that everyone else can use to figure out their hat colour.
In other words, he needs to give one of two responses and the people need to use that to figure out which situation they are in out of a possible 512. It doesn't seem possible.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
But it is. I just figured it out. The people don't need to know the exact amount of white hats, because they would already know how many there are with a range of 1.
e.g. IX sees 6 white hats, so he knows that there are either 6 white hats if his is black, or 7 white hats if his is white.
So, all X needs to do is to indicate whether the total amount of hats is odd or even, and everyone else will be able to figure it out.
Let's say that the sequence, from I to X, is BWWWBBWWBW.
Everyone will have previously agreed that X saying 'white' means that can see an even number if hats and if he says 'black', then he can see an odd number. He can see 5 white hats, so he says 'black'. He's wearing a white hat, so he died. Aaw.
But, IX now knows that the total number of white hats is odd. He can see 5 white hats, so he knows that his must be black.
"As IX's was black, the total number of hats is still odd," thinks VIII, "but I can see an even number, so mine must be white!"
VII would then know that the total of white hats was even and as he could see an odd number, he would know that his was white too.
This would continue all the way to I, who would know that there was an even number of white hats left and so his was black.
Survival Rate: 9.5
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.
Great! Congratulations! Unbelieveble!
Well done, Mathsy!
This is the strategy!
Now, the end:
I'm saying "white"

The 100th Chelsea Flower Show will be certainly one to remember, the weather played havoc before we arrived and the Friday was the coldest wettest day that I have experienced in our history of the show, which is 21 years. But despite the weather the flower show weaved it's MAGIC.
BORAGE THE GNOME. Before the show opened Borage was in much demand as gnomes were being allowed at the Chelsea flower show for the very first time. Of course he went, but he behaved so badly that we sent him gnome ( sorry!!!)
SUNDAY is the final day of build up, hence the HiVis tops as the site is still considered to be a building site . We finished our display and had a lovely time catching up with old friends such as Alan and Toby who were both busy recording with the BBC.
MONDAY Hannah dressed up in 1913 costume to celebrate the 100th Chelsea Flower Show, she looked amazing. The launch of the new Jekka's Herbs at Canton Tea herb teas was a big success, everyone loved the Lemon Grass Tea. It was great to be able to see and greet many old and new friends, especially Toby who was the RHS Young School Gardener of the Year, a gardener of the future.
TUESDAY is the first official day of the show . Nancy, known as the' Lemon Verbena Lady' in her blog, visited the show for the first time from the USA. Vicki , like Hannah, also took the trouble to dress up in 1913 costume which was much appreciated by all of us and the visitors. The borage that we started growing last November for Chelsea could be seen here in Adam Frost's garden 'Sowing Seeds of Change' which was awarded a worthy gold medal.
WEDNESDAY Over the years that the Fleming's have been exhibiting at the Chelsea show we have become good friends. Wes Fleming informed us that sadly this would be their last exhibit. So it was even more pleasing that they finished with the award of Best Show Garden.
THURSDAY Every year there is one herb that catches the attention, this year it was Nasturtium Alaska which behaved beautifully.
FRIDAY We have been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower show for 21 years and never have we known it to be so cold and wet all day.
The weather did not put off our good friends from Norway who enjoyed the show.
SATURDAY The last day is always a mixture of feelings. Glad to be going home, but sad that this beautiful show will have vanished and will only be preserved in photographs. The people choice went to the the Arthritis Research UK garden by Chris Beardshaw. This border filled with Sweet cicely , Myrrhis odorata was one of our favourites in the show.
Once the bell has been rung to signal the end of the show, the plants in the Great Pavillion and from our stand are sold.
Then, when everyone has left the site, we pack up and wait for the lorries to come in to take everything back to the Herb Farm. While we wait we plan our stand for next year's Chelsea Flower Show which will have all the drama, beauty and magic that we have had this year`.
And now it is time for our Herb Friday's we are open every friday from May 31st until July 12th from 10am – 4pm when we look forward to showing you the Herboretum, the Herbs and having a cup of our new herb tea with home made cakes.

Last year when I heard the Premier line was going away I was a bit disappointed. I thought products like the ODR (Optical Digital Reference) DEX-P9, DEH-P880PRS were going to be the last of its kind. But at CES 2010 that all changed. In the pursuit of pure sound perfection Pioneer Electronics announced the release of the Stage 4 product line, an ultra performance, reference standard audio system designed and engineered specifically for car audiophiles and music enthusiasts seeking the ultimate in-vehicle listening experience. It uses advanced materials and innovative technologies with the goal of achieving the most accurate audio reproduction. Included in this new lineup is a new head unit, the DEX-P99RS, a single CD tuner/digital media player, built to produce an extremely high level of sound quality, signal processing and media playback flexibility.
Once I unboxed the Pioneer DEX-P99RS my eyes lit up. It's been quite some time that a piece of equipment really impressed me. The DEX-P99RS is Pioneer's new competition-grade CD tuner packed with many integrated features that any enthusiast would be drooling over. The shiny copper chassis, shiny elegant faceplate gold plated RCAs and its cool looking remote also had me salivating a little.
The elegant faceplate reminded me of the twin knob head units of yesteryear but with modern cues such as a digital OEL display, and acrylic and black brushed aluminum. Simple but sophisticated. Many of the modern features such as a USB connection have been integrated into this head unit. With the supplied USB cable, you can connect a wide variety of audio players such as an iPod or most any player or USB storage device that will play WMA, MP3 and WAV. If you use an iPod you have the option to control it right from the head unit. According to Pioneer the USB connection is connected straight with the DSP section, providing better sound quality than regular USB head units. This should make it possible to play high quality lossless audio from your USB device. Other accessories such as Bluetooth wireless adapter, Sat Radio and HD Radio are also available.
Under the hood this thing is packed with many awesome features. Many of them are from their award winning ODR system from almost two decades ago. Features such as L/R Independent 31-Band Digital Equalizer, Auto Time Alignment and Auto EQ, and 24-Bit AKM DACs are just some of the features any enthusiast would be dreaming about. Also included is a 4-way Digital Signal Processor Crossover. The level of adjustment is unbelievable, especially considering everything is built-in. It allows you to alter settings separately, including time alignment between speakers and left and right channels, for tweeter, midrange, midbass and subwoofer, as well as the ability to adjust the entire frequency band from 20Hz to 20kHz independently. All this is possible due to the 32-Bit Binary Floating-Point DSP for high-precision and highspeed sound processing which offers all the horsepower needed to do all these tasks with a high level of accuracy.
In a high-end product like this you would expect great build quality and it is superb. It has a copper chassis, as you might expect. (That of course eliminates magnetic induction noise.) The printed circuit board gets the same attention to detail: High slew-rate operational amplifiers used in high-end home audio for its precise gain and sound linearity characteristics along with custom-made capacitors to Pioneer's "Reference Standard" fill the printed circuit board. The circuit trace path lengths are symmetrically laid out left and right and kept as short as possible to minimize noise and maintain sonic purity.
All the features that can be accessed through the faceplate can also be accessed with the included remote control. Smart and convenient. The included hardware allows you to mount the remote on any flat surface or on the steering wheel.
The product manuals are very well-written and detailed. Going through it and reading about all the features really gave me an itch. I wanted to install this thing in my car. After a few phone calls and some convincing I was able to "borrow" this unit for a few more weeks.
The installation was pretty straightforward. I hooked up the required power wires. The DEX-P99RS has 8 RCA outputs, sub L+R, low L+R, mid L+R, and high L+R. The initial setup menu allows you to configure this. My set up calls for a three-way system therefore I was able to turn off the high L+R.
I opted to take the easy way out and ran the auto EQ and time alignment. This process involved securing the supplied microphone on the driver's side headrest and going through the Auto EQ and Time Alignment menu. With the car off and parked in a quiet location, I pressed and held the EQ button. The face opened allowing me to access the 1/8" plug for the mic. I set the listening position for the left side and chose "auto N/W". This mode will automatically select the crossover points and slopes for you. Once you hit the start sequence it begins to countdown allowing you to exit the inside of the vehicle. A few minutes later the job was complete.
I scrolled through the menu to see what the "auto" settings were. I noticed that the crossover points were different from what I had them on my previous setup. I was also able to see all the time correction values, but the Auto EQ values couldn't be viewed. I popped in a CD and gave it a quick listen. I was very impressed with this initial setup. The level of detail throughout the entire spectrum was staggering. But the crossover points bothered me so I went in and set them up manually. The built-in crossover is very flexible. Not only can you adjust the crossover points, it allows you to set the level, phase, and slope. These features can be accessed by using the Multi-Control knob. Simply press the Multi-Control knob, select Audio and rotate to select the NW1 function. Pushing the Multi-Control knob left and right will select the band you want to adjust: SW-HPF, SW-LPF, Low-HPF, Low-LPF, Mid HPF, Mid-LPF, High-HPF and High-LPF. Once you select the filter you want to adjust turn the Multi-Control knob to select NW 2. This will allow you to select the cut-off frequency for each band. I set the SW-HPF at 20Hz and SW-LPF at 50Hz. That took care of the subwoofer. I then moved on to setting the Low-HPF to 50hz and the Low-LPF at 500Hz. This took care of the mid-bass drivers. The Mid-HPF was set to 500Hz and Mid LPF to 20kHz, which took care of the two-way components.
Since the High speakers were turned off during the initial set up it did not allow me to select it. By pressing the Multi-Control knob up and down, you can adjust the level for each frequency band. The Mid and High can be adjusted from 0dB to -24dB and the Low and SW from 6dB to -24dB. Turning the Multi-Control knob to NW 3 allows you to set the slope for each filter. I selected a slope of 24dB/Oct. for all the crossover points with the exception of SW-HPF and Mid-LPF which were set to pass, thus allowing no filtering. Pressing the Multi-Control knob up and down at this stage will set the phase from Normal to Reverse. When I was done I pressed the "B" button to exit out. Wow, even better! The soundstage moved forward and higher. I continued to tweak with the EQ settings and it just kept getting better. I did this by simply pressing the Multi-Control knob to the Audio setting and selecting EQ 2. Pushing the Multi-Control knob left and right let me select the frequency band while pressing it up and down adjusted the level. The settings are automatically stored when you exit. Once done, I was really impressed with the level of detail and the clarity. It created a wide stage with plenty of depth, making for a very lifelike experience.
I liked the Pioneer DEX-P99RS "all-in-one" so much during the review that I continued to hook up the rest of my accessories. Since my other head unit was a Pioneer, I simply hooked up the P-bus cable and I had access to Sirius, XM, and Bluetooth adapter
once again. The USB connection provided a direct digital connection path. I ran the USB cable to the center console which now connects to my iPod. Pushing the volume control scrolls through all connected sources. The only thing I lost was my navigation system which didn't bother me a bit (especially since use my Garmin on my smartphone). However, a larger display would have been nice. The three-line display was a little tough to read at times considering all the information and features this head unit has. The display is plenty bright and can be configured to match the backlight of your dash. At night it is a thing of beauty, but the glossy face makes it a little tough to see at times on those sunny days because of the glare. I also found the volume control a bit tough to use. It's set too shallow and the smooth knob makes it a tough to rotate. Luckily the supplied remote control looks and works awesome. The aforementioned little quirks were clearly overcome by its superior sound quality. I am truly impressed by the build quality and can't praise enough the DEX-P99RS' sonic excellence. I think this "mere" CD player is a brilliant, truly high-end reference level product (with an MSRP to match: $1349) that shows that not all CD source units are made the same. And I think it's found a new home in my dash.

Knicks, Clippers involved in trade talks for Randolph
Stephon Marbury's future remains unresolved, but the Knicks are on the verge of moving another big contract — Zach Randolph's. A person close to the situation confirmed Friday that the Los Angeles Clippers have approached the Knicks about acquiring Randolph in an effort to make up for the sudden loss of Elton Brand to free agency.
The story was first reported Friday by SI.com, which said Knicks president Donnie Walsh turned down the Clippers' offer. It was not known which players would be going to the Knicks in the deal, but it would not have to be a salary match because the Clippers are well under the cap. Randolph has three years and $48 million left on his contract. The Knicks, with an eye on being in the same position by 2010, would not accept contracts that go beyond that year in return for Randolph, who averaged 17.6 points and 10.3 rebounds last season. He was acquired from Portland by Isiah Thomas on draft night in 2007 for Steve Francis and Channing Frye.
It is believed that Walsh was hoping to pry Eric Gordon, the seventh overall pick in the NBA draft, as part of the deal. That move seems unlikely, but it is expected that Walsh will talk again with the Clippers, who also are participating in the NBA Summer League here. The source said Walsh has been "very active" in trade discussions and is "looking at these types of transactions constantly." Marbury also is brought up in trade discussions, but most teams interested in the 31-year-old point guard would rather wait for the Knicks to buy him out of the final year and $21.9 million left on his contract, then tender him a veteran's minimum contract.
Source: Newsday
If this trade goes through, will the Clippers still be able to get Josh Smith? If not, than that makes the Warriors the front-runners because it was believed that the 76ers and Clippers were chasin. But with two huge contracts (Randolph 3 years 48 mil, Brand 5 years 80 mil) I dont think hes going.
If it goes through, the Knicks are adding by subtracting, clearing space for Lebron. The Clippers....well....I can see their logic, lose a big man get a big man. But Zach is fat, can't rebound, lazy, and overpaid.

Only one reporter had the balls to challenge the banksters and his name was Mark Pittman. He mysteriously died at the age of 52 after winning a Federal Court case against government secrecy.
Twenty months after the Federal Court's ruling, Geithner mocks the judge and the rule of law by providing basically nothing:
They were so heavily redacted that most of what's left are everyday messages such as "Did you just try to call me?" and "Monday will be a busy day!" None of the documents answers Pittman's request for "records sufficient to show the names of the relevant securities" or the dates and terms of the guarantees.
This is all happening under the Obama regime, the one that campaigned on more transparency and "open government".

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
After a trial of more than five years with 138 witnesses, more than 400 exhibits and a trial transcript of 12,000 pages, Judge Aharon Farkash of the Jerusalem District Court cleared the defendants of all forgery charges in the case of the James Ossuary. Still, the trial details leave us with concerns about the total authenticity of this artifact. ABR Staff member Gordon Franz interviewed one of the trial witnesses and conservator, Orna Ohen, in 2008.

The two-bedroom condo in Ottawa's Byward Market is all about the view. Every window looks out onto a panorama that sweeps from the market to the Gatineau Hills across the river in Quebec. Day or night, the view is mesmerizing.
So when Tamara O'Leary of Ottawa's M.Y. Home and Carrie Dick, a professional stager and designer, were asked to furnish the empty condo to get it ready for sale, they made sure they did nothing to obscure the main selling point.
When I met them there as they were putting the finishing touches to the decor — they did the whole place in just a few days — they shared some of the tricks that can be used by anyone who's faced with the challenge of taking an empty space and making it come alive. These tricks apply, whether you're getting a place ready for sale, as they were, or adding eye appeal to your own home.
Accentuate the positive
If there's a major positive feature, be it a view, a fireplace or good architecture, do what you can to emphasize it, advise O'Leary and Dick.
Because this condo is all about the view, the pair chose a design scheme that kept the sightlines clear.
That meant, for example, keeping the furniture low. There are no tall pieces that get in the way. They even chose armless sofas to keep the living/dining room wide open.
Respect the space
The condo is just under 1,500 square feet, but when it was empty, it felt smaller.
"Everything seems small when it's empty," says Dick, adding that anyone looking at an empty apartment or home may have difficulty visualizing its real size. This is particularly important in places that are for sale, since people need to be able to imagine their own furniture in the space.
The right kind of furniture can actually make a room look bigger.
To make the most of this space, Dick and O'Leary chose pieces that respected the proportions of the rooms: a queen-sized bed instead of a king-sized one, and in the living room, they opted for a loveseat instead of a full-sized sofa.
To make the dining area seem more spacious, they brought in a clear glass table and put a mirror on one wall. All those things make the condo feel fully furnished and livable, yet open and uncluttered.
Add punch for emphasis
A room, even a beautiful one, can become forgettable if it's got too much of the same thing.
PAGEBREAKSo while O'Leary and Dick used mostly neutral colours in the living room — the wood is espresso, the upholstery off-white — they decided to punch it up by getting red leather chairs for the dining room and adding a few red accessories.
All of a sudden, says O'Leary, it's not just a dining room; it's "the dining room with the red chairs."
Money is not the object
If you don't have an unlimited budget (and who does?) it's best to focus on a few strong pieces of furniture or art, and let the rest of your decor play a supporting role.
Put your money into a beautiful leather sofa and play it up with accessories.
Imagine your lifestyle
This condo is owned by former NHL hockey player Dan McGillis and his wife Elise. Their needs changed between the time they bought it on plan and the time the building was ready to occupy, so that's why they're selling. If you're looking at an empty house, imagine what it would be like to live there yourself. Will you be throwing fancy cocktail parties or having the extended family over for holiday dinners?
Coming up with answers will help you plan your decor. O'Leary says seating is an important part of imagining how an empty room might work. People, she says, always try to figure out where their friends or family will sit when they come over. So work it out in your mind or on paper.
Unify the colours
Because the condo is up for sale, O'Leary and Dick didn't take any chances with the colours; they're neutral throughout.
But what they did do is unify the colours so there's a feeling of flow. This is particularly important in open designs.
If you're going to decorate an empty space, take advantage and paint before the furniture arrives.
Don't forget texture
The bathrooms in this condo are covered with tile. That makes it difficult to change colours. So O'Leary and Dick added personality with bouquets of branches and wicker baskets. In the bedrooms, texture comes in the form of draperies, an upholstered headboard and a touch of bling on the bed cushions.
Many places don't have overhead lights, so an empty space can look dreary on a dull November day. Proper lighting will bring it to life, says O'Leary.
Whether you're living there or trying to sell, less is usually more, says O'Leary. So get rid of extra stuff and organize what remains. It will make your lifestyle seem effortless.

A former gang member who is now a criminal justice professor at New Mexico State University has published his first book about Latino youth and survival in the Southwest. "Gang Life in Two Cities: An Insider's Journey," tackles the policies that impact marginalized youth and racial and ethnic minorities in the Southwest. It will be available in January 2013.
"My book emphasizes the voices and experiences of people who are deemed unworthy and criminalized in society," said Robert Duran, an associate professor in the College of Arts and Sciences. "When the law or no one will provide physical protection, families and friends learn to protect themselves."
The book covers the perspectives of members joining and creating gangs in response to the oppression they experienced from the 1940s to the present. It also illustrates how young people can become agents for creating change, contributing toward empowering the community and improving lives.
"My own life is intertwined with those who provided their experiences," Duran said. "When I was younger, I was involved in a gang and thought my future was prison. College, family and work provided me a better alternative. I then started working in the criminal justice system to help young people pursue better alternatives."
Duran, who spent more than 20 years in direct contact with gangs, said that it was a need to share this perspective that inspired him to write the book.
"This research project became my defining contribution, because it has allowed me to share the stories of individuals and communities that have otherwise been ignored," Duran said. "As their lives carry forward, so does this book, and the small contribution I can offer society."
Duran is a criminal justice professor whose research concerns modern-day racism and community resistance, from gang evolution and border surveillance to disproportionate minority contact and law enforcement shootings. As a sociologist, he studies race and ethnic relations, crime and social control.
He is the recipient of the NMSU 2010 Hispanic Faculty and Staff Caucus Junior Faculty of the Year Award, and the 2011 New Scholar Award from the Division on People of Color and Crime of the American Society of Criminology.
Using his latest research involving gangs along the southern New Mexico and Texas border, Duran plans to write a second book about criminalized social groups and community efforts to provide solutions.
"Gang Life in Two Cities: An Insider's Journey" can be purchased from Columbia University Press at http://cup.columbia.edu/book/978-0-231-15866-4/gang-life-in-two-cities or at Amazon.com.

As the Farm Press Peanut Profitability Awards Program begins taking nominations for its 10th class of winners, the task of earning the prestigious honor hasn't gotten any easier, says Marshall Lamb, research leader for the National Peanut Research Laboratory in Dawson, Ga., and advisor for the program.
"The 2008 crop was probably the most expensive one we've ever grown," says Lamb. "Our growers saw great increases in almost every input they use, especially in fuel, with transportation costs required to get this crop to market skyrocketing."
Fortunately for growers, prices have been good this year and overall it has been a good crop, he says. "In mid- to late-August, Tropical Storm Fay soaked the entire peanut belt in the Southeast. We set a new crop that was very good, and that helped us to achieve the yields we made," says Lamb.
The Farm Press Peanut Profitability Awards are based on production efficiency, honoring those growers who produce the highest yields at the lowest cost per acre. Awards are presented to growers from the Southeast Region, including Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Mississippi; the Virginia-Carolina Region, including Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina; and the Southwest Region, including Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.
The awards program has honored nine classes of winners from throughout the Southeast, Virginia-Carolina and Southwest. Since the program's inception in 2000, the Peanut Profitability Awards have honored 27 deserving growers. The Farm Press Peanut Profitability Awards Program began with the first-ever Southern Peanut Growers Conference.
Winners of the 2009 awards will receive an expenses-paid trip for two to the Southern Peanut Growers Conference, set for July of next year. They also will receive limited-edition signed and numbered prints from noted Southern watercolor artist Jack DeLoney.
In addition, the winners are featured in special Peanut Profitability issues of Southeast Farm Press, Southwest Farm Press and Delta Farm Press.
Lamb, who was instrumental in the creation of the awards program, designed the nomination form used by growers in determining production efficiency.
"While achieving consistently high yields and grades is important, it's only part of the equation to maximizing profits. The elements of production cost and price are equally important factors," says Lamb.
The grower nomination form for the Peanut Profitability Award is very extensive, notes Lamb, and considers both fixed and variable costs.
"We've had nominees in this program who had higher yields than most, but they did not correctly manage their cost structure. We're looking at per-unit costs, and how effectively farmers manage their cost structures," he says.
The awards program, he says, is based on a producer's entire peanut operation. "We're not talking about small plots in select fields. Rather, we look at the overall management of these growers. This includes yields, costs and marketing management for the entire farm, and most of our winners come from sizable farms," says Lamb.
Assisting with the awards program is an Advisory Board comprised of Extension peanut specialists, county agents, economists and commodity group officials from the major peanut-producing states. They help distribute nomination forms within their respective states and educate potential nominees about the program.
Farm Press editors, working with Lamb, select the regional winners from the pool of state nominees. Members of the Advisory Board, along with Lamb, are charged with periodically reviewing the awards program to insure consistency.
Data entered on a farmer's nomination form, notes Lamb, should be based on an entire farm operation and not on individual farms or small plots. Actual per-unit costs and returns information will remain confidential to Lamb and his staff.
Growers may submit their nomination form directly to the National Peanut Research Laboratory, or they may submit it to their county Extension agent, peanut specialist or economist. The deadline for all nominations is April 15, 2009.
Growers can access the nomination form via the Internet at southeastfarmpress.com and southwestfarmpress.com. In addition, it can be linked from various commodity group Web sites. To receive a hard copy of the form, call Farm Press headquarters at (662) 624-8503 or contact any member of the Advisory Board.
For the first time in the history of the Peanut Profitability Awards, Mississippi growers will have the opportunity to be nominated for awards to be presented in 2009, based on production in 2008.
"We've come a long way in six years," says Mike Howell, an area agronomics agent with Mississippi State University's Extension Service based in Harrison County and the newest member of the Peanut Profitability Awards Advisory Board. "We've gone from 4,000 acres in 2002 to about 22,000 acres this year, and another big increase is expected for 2009."
Mississippi peanut producers are seeing an upward trend in their yields, says Howell, and peanuts have provided a good option for growers in drought-prone areas, such as the northeast region of the state.
Future outlook
He expects peanuts will continue to take acres from cotton and corn next year. "In Warren County, we may not have an acre of cotton next year. Peanuts continue to be profitable for our growers, especially on fresh ground," says Howell.
He expects a record production this year for Mississippi producers, with average yields of about 2 tons per acre. This past year, growers averaged 3,500 pounds per acre during a drought, just slightly below previous averages in the 3,600 to 3,700-pound range.
Dryland production
About 95 percent of Mississippi's peanut acreage is dryland, says Howell, but there is a lot of interest among growers in sub-surface drip irrigation. "Most of our fields are smaller — less than 30 acres," he says.
Mississippi's peanut infrastructure also has grown along with the acreage, says Howell. The state's first buying point was in the Delta, in Anguilla, and a second one has been added in Aberdeen. A second buying point, he says, will keep the peanuts local, reduce trucking costs, and allow growers more time in the fields.

As I go around to different businesses of varying sizes from the large multiple employees to the not so large 1-2 staff operations, it never ceases to amaze me the number that have no idea as to the complications and implications of not only the PPSA Legislation but now the new Privacy legislation has on their respective businesses.
I have to say that when the time comes ignorance is no excuse and of no benefit in a court of law. Gone are the days of, "If I get caughtâ€!! We are now in the time of "When you are caught†by a defaulting payer. Sadly more and more Companies, Partnerships and Sole Traders are going to the wall because they do not, have not and will not comply with the aforementioned Legislation changes. This all starts with having the correct Terms Of Trade in place and the support of a Debt Recovery Agency with both the skills and knowledge to work on their behalf within those Terms Of Trade
Any Business today that is not compliant with the appropriate Terms of Trade in place and are using same for every Quote and/or Contract, is just waiting to be the next VICTIM in a long line of unpaid Victims that I see or hear about every day. Don't be the next business I hear about. Be smart get Compliant. Yes there is a cost involved, but not doing something about it could cost you and your business and in some cases everything you have.

Guild member Sian Plant has found another marriage for me in the registers of St George's Hanover Square which has led me on an interesting search through the censuses. Frederick Thomas Cruse married Catherine Harriet Frances Pringle on 6th June 1853 at St George's Hanover Square. Frederick was a bachelor of full age living at Charlotte Street, Pimlico. His occupation was given as "Bank of England". He was the son of Thomas Cruse, a land surveyor. Catherine was a spinster of full age living at Bentinck Street, St Marylebone. She was the daughter of William Henry Pringle, a lieutenant colonel. I didn't have any record of Frederick Thomas Cruse in my database but I've now located him and his wife Catherine in the 1861 census living in Greenwich. Frederick is now known as "Fred". He is a clerk at the Bank of England and obviously a man of some substance as he has sufficient means to employ a live-in cook and housemaid. Fred and Catherine have a six-year-old daughter Harriet Margaret Cruse. Harriet's forenames are mistranscribed as "Hartwig" which is understandable when you look at the census image as both names are abbreviated and are quite difficult to read. I wonder if the transcriber had been reading too much Harry Potter and was subconsciously thinking of Harry's owl Hedwig! Frederick was born about 1818 in Somerset. I've not been able to decipher his place of birth. If anyone can read it do let me know. The census image can be viewed here if you have an Ancestry subscription. The transcriber had similar difficulties and transcribed the place as "Kateth". I cannot check the place of birth in any subsequent censuses as Fred sadly died in 1864. In 1851 he was lodging in St Pancras but only gave the county of Somerset for his place of birth. I've been unable to find a suitable match in the 1841 census. It seems likely that Frederick is in some way related to the Cruses of Rode in Somerset. Jeremiah Cruse (1758-1819) of Rode was a well-known land surveyor, but without a baptism for Fred or the 1841 census entry I am unable to link him into the tree. I don't have any record of a Thomas Cruse of the right age working as a land surveyor.

An intriguing marriage at St George's Hanover Square

His birth place is given as Bath. What the transcriber took for the first t is in fact the descender of f in the line above.

Many thanks Andrew. It's obvious now you've pointed it out. A second pair of eyes always helps! I'm now off to join the Yahoo Bath Forum to see if anyone can locate Frederick's baptism.

Hollywood Unions: Now That You Lying Hacking Thieves Have Won, Can We Set A New Conciliatory Tone?
from the which-lies deptThe big Hollywood unions who supported SOPA and PIPA (even as many of their own members disagreed) have finally come out with their own statement on the whole PIPA/SOPA thing, and like the other supporters we've seen, it too, is totally tone deaf to what happened. Rather than recognizing the problems of the bill, it's obnoxious and condescending:
We recognize that we are currently part of a complex and important debate about the future, not just of the Internet but also of creativity, the American economy, free expression, and a civil society. We believe that the light should be being shined on every aspect of this discussion and on all of those who have a stake in it. We believe we should discuss what an unregulated 'free' Internet means for the future of content, just as we should also discuss the importance of an open Internet.First of all, the internet is not "unregulated" -- no matter how many times they insist it is. Second, given what we saw with Megaupload, it's pretty ridiculous to think that the US cannot (and does not) currently have the tools to go after foreign sites (in fact, there is some evidence that it has too many tools with too much power). But, really, what strikes me as ridiculous about this statement is that it attacks everyone whose opinion they totally ignored for over a year -- and then pretends that it wants to set a conciliatory tone? If you want "a new tone" to take place, let's start with you guys not calling people who raised legitimate concerns liars.
We welcome this debate. We hope a new tone can be set and it is not one that turns our advocacy for this legislation into an implication that we promote censorship. Our commitment to the First Amendment is decades old and long established – it is a matter of public record from long before the word 'Internet' was part of anyone's vocabulary. If one truly embraces free expression, they do not take down the Library of Congress websites, the very symbol of our country's belief in knowledge and learning. We would hope a new tone can be set that does not pit the creativity and innovation of our directors, actors, performers, craftspeople, and technicians against those innovators in other industries. We hope a new tone can be set that does not include website attacks, blacklists, blackouts, and lies. We believe an Internet that does not allow outright stealing has to be the Internet of the future or all the promises it holds will be unrealized.
More importantly, if we're going to talk about "lies," let's start with the claims of "losses" that have widely been debunked, but which were used to put forth this legislation. Let's talk about the lies about the legislation being "narrowly targeted" when pretty much every legal analysis worried about its broad definitions. Let's talk about the lies that the legislation would not censor free speech -- when even the big First Amendment lawyer you presented to support this bill admitted that protected speech would be taken down under these laws.
Don't accuse others of lying when your side has a much bigger, much longer, much more detailed history of lying. Did some of those against the bills misunderstand them and present false information? Yes. But these are people who aren't used to reading legislation and may have missed key points. On the side of you and your lobbyists, you knew exactly what you were doing. I find that a lot more pernicious.

Mondays with Mom is a column penned from the perspective of a member of the older Korean generation. AsianSupper contributor umma immigrated to the US in the 1980s and currently lives in Washington state.
A couple of weeks ago, I met friends who I haven't seen for a while at church. We were talking and I decided to ask them over for dinner to talk some more – it was just a last minute invite. She said they didn't have anything planned for the afternoon and would love to come over for dinner. So, I had to come up with a quick menu; I knew I had shopped a day before, had some steak, asparagus, potatoes, and such in the refrigerator.
I thought about fixing a steak and kimchi soup -- it might sound funny to you, steak and kimchi soup?
For as long as we've been living here in the United States (for almost 4 decades), our taste has adjusted somewhat, but I still can't live entirely without some ethnic food, the Korean food. The three major dishes of Korean food, according to my taste, are: kimchi (pickled napa cabbage salad), deonjang jjigae (soybean paste casserole), and kongnamul guk (soybean sprout soup). So, I always have on hand at least some kimchi in a jar in the refrigerator, (it can be old or new depending on when I made it) and a jar of doenjang, or soybean paste.
So what did I make for that last minute dinner? My menu was a mix of Western and Korean: pan-fried steak, grilled asparagus, pan-fried potatoes and then rice and kimchi soup. Traditionally, Koreans always have to have soup with their dinner, and generally prefer to have the soup in the beginning along with a bowl of rice.
This combination probably sounds weird, but after living here for so long, we often mix Korean food with Western food. For instance, for Thanksgiving, we'll have turkey with mandu and Ukrainian salad (my employee is Ukrainian). Or we might have meat loaf and banchan (Korean side dishes). It's my own kind of fusion!
Back to my non-traditional meal that I made for my friends. In case you also want to make it, here is how I did it: first I made the kimchi guk -- with some anchovy soup stock; I added some deonjang (soybean paste), I cooked a little bit and added old kimchi cut into small pieces. The soup can be reheated any time and it will taste fine. I also found some small red potatoes in the refrigerator, and decided to pan fry them, too. I chopped them up and just fried with olive oil and a bit of salt, took them out and put it on the oven to keep them warm. When my friend and her husband showed up at the door, I started grilling the asparagus, so we can have it freshly cooked without reheating. And the final thing was the steak -- I quickly seared the steak at high, after a few minutes, turned it over and did the same thing.
When it was serving time, I warmed plates, arranged the steak, potatoes, asparagus and served. After that course was done, I brought out a small container of mixed rice for people to serve themselves, and the kimchi soup. I switched the order of serving compared to the traditional way. After a pretty bland western-style main course, the kimchi soup and rice was eye opening dessert almost! And for our dessert, we stuck to Korean tradition -- they had brought oranges, so I cut and served those.
My friends unequivocally voted the dinner the best meal they have had in a recent years. Maybe it was because my steak and potatoes were so bland, making the kimchi soup seem that much better? So: filet mignon and kimchi soup for dinner, anybody?
