I agree totally with Sanjay, Dan - but....how'd you do that??
Any tips would be great to read for new comers like me

Nicely done Dan! I really like the blurred fingers and keys moving, along with the strong horizontal lines. The black background makes the silver highlights really stand out.

Beautiful capture, Dan! Those flying fingers look great next to the fine shine of the instrument, and the black bg sets the image off dramatically.

Mary K. Robison 10/27/2004 12:05:38 AMDan, I can't imagine how you improved the original...I studied them both a moment ago, and your eye is even more observant than previously thought, if you "caught" anything amiss on this.
Dan Holm 10/27/2004 12:09:18 AMWow, you're quick, Mary!! There were a few little glitches in the original that kept getting bigger to my eye every time I looked at it. Eventually, that's all I saw. ... I feel much better about this revision! ... Thanks so much for your feedback! I appreciate it! ... Can't wait to see "Kismet"! #871678
S J 10/27/2004 12:11:24 AMThis is gonna be a winner for sure!!! Hard to tell the difference on this one! Great work, Dan! A pleasure to see it again! #871679
Jordi Delgado 10/27/2004 12:21:36 AMDon't know what was wrong with the previous version, my eyes are not as sharp as yours, that's for sure!! :-)) #871685
Donald K. Cherry 10/27/2004 2:14:03 AMI'm the same way, Dan...the smalest details bug me until I fix them...I even lose sleep thinking about how to make it better...well, like Jordi, I too didn't see anything wrong with the original, it's still a wonderful shot! #871732
Paul Michko 10/27/2004 2:22:04 AMThe first one looked good to me, but you are the artist here. This one is still fantastic, Dan. #871738
Wayne Brasch 10/27/2004 3:04:33 AMWow, wonderful work Dan. The sense of finger movement really makes this image. Wonderfull detail. #871763

Colette M. Metcalf 10/27/2004 3:29:57 AMI'm commenting again, This is a terrific image, Dan!!! #871843
Allan L. Whitehead 10/27/2004 4:14:24 AMDab, I don't know how I missed the original version, but this is magnificent. I love the colors, that shutter-speed freezing of the finger movement, and the intricate details of the entire image. Extremely well done, my very dear friend - your good friend, Allan #871979
Mellanie 10/27/2004 6:51:39 AMI didn't notice the reflections the first time....Still a great shot! #872326

Sometimes, in spite of all the best efforts, after a shot uploads it just isn't quite right. That was the case with this one. A few small anomalies appeared and just wouldn't leave me alone until they were repaired. - This is a repaired version of a shot I presented a few days ago. Thanks for your many kind comments on the original version! ... I've preserved your feedback to the original version below.

I am looking to redesign our Statement of Values document in a high energy, sharp, and appealing card that would fit on some type of desk stand similar to those at this web site. http://www.displays2go.com/sub3.asp?ID=4808
Size should be somewhat smaller than 8.5x11. Maybe 4x9, 5x7 etc. but designed to perfectly fit into a non-custom sized plastic or glass stand such as those on this web site or othe ideas you may have.
We might also just send a PDF of these values (and document you create) to clients and prospects as an example of how we want our staff to work.

The wait is finally over.
After 30 practices and two exhibitions stretched over six weeks, UCLA will open its season at Pauley Pavilion tonight.
The bad part? The Bruins won't tip off against Drexel until 9 p.m.
That means New Jersey native Kyle Anderson's family will have a long night on the East Coast.
"They do a very good job of staying up," the star point forward said. "I don't know how."
The late slot on Pac-12 Networks won't help create much widespread buzz for the official start of Steve Alford's tenure at UCLA. The Bruins' 13th head coach didn't make a big fuss, simply saying that it could make for a bit of an anxious wait for him and opposing coach Bruiser Flint.
"I think you just have to adjust with that," Alford said. "It's kind of TV-driven. … I think the players will adjust to it."
UCLA will have time to do so against the Dragons.
Drexel isn't a complete pushover, but in 12 years under Flint, its only postseason berths are five trips to the NIT. Its best finish came two seasons ago, when it reached the NIT quarterfinals following a regular-season Colonial Athletic Association championship. Only five other times has Flint led the Dragons to a top-four finish in the conference.
Nevertheless, Alford praised his counterpart's pedigree: Flint was an assistant under John Calipari at Massachusetts, and succeeded him there for an uninspiring 86-72 record over five seasons. He follows Calipari's dribble-drive principles on offense, and also espouses a physical defensive playbook.
Senior guard Chris Fouch provides a scoring punch out of the backcourt, having averaged double-digit scoring in every past season. He was granted a sixth year of eligibility after missing all but three games last year with a broken ankle.
The frontcourt doesn't have particularly imposing size, but both Kazembe Abif (6-foot-7, 215 pounds) and Dartaye Ruffin (6-foot-8, 250) are returning starters. The pair averaged 10.2 combined rebounds a year ago, with the latter chipping in 20 blocks.
They'll test the Bruins' bigs more than either Cal State San Bernardino or San Marcos did in two 30-point exhibition blowouts.
Already thin up front, UCLA is without forwards Travis Wear (appendicitis) and Wanaah Bail (knee). Wear was second on the team last year with 5.2 rebounds per game, while Bail is expected to the team's most athletic big as a freshman.
To supplement those absences, the backourt has crashed the boards. Anderson, entrusted with primary ball-handling duties this year, may be the Pac-12's biggest triple-double threat. Guards Jordan Adams and Bryce Alford each had 15 rebounds in UCLA's two exhibition games, with the latter doing his work off the bench.
"We're getting rebounds out of guys that maybe traditionally wouldn't rebound the basketball," Steve Alford said.

Amazon Launches 'Profoundly Disruptive' Data Warehouse
Nov 29, 2012 7:00 AM PT
Amazon Web Services on Wednesday launched RedShift, an on-demand data warehouse service that is optimized for the analysis of huge sets of data.
RedShift is "profoundly disruptive," said Merv Adrian, research vice president of information management at Gartner. Its success will move the economic boundary between on-premises and cloud usage and "data will seek its lowest-cost home more rapidly than before."
RedShift allows setup, operation and scaling of a data warehouse cluster through the Web-based AWS Console.
Amazon is inviting prospective users to sign up for a limited preview of RedShift. More than 20 customers, including Netflix and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory have signed up for the preview, Amazon said.
Warehousing Optimized
Amazon RedShift offers a relational data warehouse platform that uses columnar storage and data compression to reduce the amount of input/output (I/O) required to perform queries. This reduces the amount of overhead and speeds up queries.
The RedShift service runs on hardware that's optimized for data warehousing, with local attached storage and 10-Gb Ethernet network connections between nodes.
This might sound similar to what Oracle offers with its Exadata database appliance, but "the hardware in question is not constrained to a purpose-built platform at all, unlike the Exadata Storage server," which can only be fully utilized by the Oracle 11gR2 platform, Adrian told TechNewsWorld.
RedShift has a massively parallel processing architecture, which lets users scale up or down without downtime as needed. For example, they can start with a single 2-TB node and scale up to 100 16-TB nodes to get a total of 1.6 petabytes.
Pricing is on demand, and starts at 85 US cents per hour for a 2-TB data warehouse.
Business Intelligence With RedShift
Two business intelligence firms -- Microstrategy and Jaspersoft are partnering with RedShift.
"Now with Jaspersoft on RedShift, developers can embed HTML5 visualizations and analytics from Jaspersoft on any size data, powered by Amazon RDS relational database service or RedShift on the back end," Karl Van den Bergh, vice president of product and alliances at Jaspersoft, told TechNewsWorld.
Target Markets and Other Things
RedShift is for both enterprises and SMBs, Van den Bergh suggested. For enterprises, "it will be an opportunity to consolidate their costs in building and managing a data warehouse. For SMBs, it will be an opportunity to actually start doing data warehousing because of the low cost and the pay-as-you-go model."
The service is highly scalable and cost effective, and it will impact data warehouse vendors, Jack Norris, vice president of marketing at MapR Technologies, told TechNewsWorld.
It will complement MapR's service, which lets users of AWS's Elastic MapReduce (EMR) service manage the open source software framework clusters EMR offers.
"What I think we're seeing here is evidence of how, when a technology becomes a cloud-based service, it leads to the commoditization of any or all related services," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT, said.
"Amazon is essentially saying, 'Bring us your data, whatever the size, and we'll help you attain muscular query and analytics results at an affordable price. Oh, and you won't have to buy anything up front,'" King told TechNewsWorld. "From my perspective, that's not a bad spot for Amazon or its potential customers to be in."
However, that doesn't mean RedShift users will have an easy ride.
"Bear in mind that you don't buy a data warehouse, you build it," Gartner's Adrian pointed out. "RedShift is a platform. Design and deployment still take skills. Amazon's not selling those."
Amazon Web Services did not respond to our request for more details.

Email Segmentation for Retailers
Email segmentation is clearly one of the most powerful tactics available to marketers today. For retailers however, it's proving an absoutely essential practice - those that do, perform well, And those that avoid the practice, simply don't. Website Magazine asked Richard Turcott, CEO of Mill33 about the role that segmentation plays in the success of email marketing campaigns for merchants in the competitive e-commerce landscape today.
WM: Why should Internet retailers in particular more fully explore the use of email list segmentation?
RT: Blanketing your list with the same message will not be as effective as sending segmented cohorts in your list a targeted email that speaks to their specific pain points, wants and needs.
By segmenting your list you can enjoy significantly higher in-box delivery rates, open and click thru rates. Segmentation offers marketers the ability to more effectively deliver the right message to the right person at the right time. Fundamental examples include creating different distribution lists for prospects and customers, or creating segmented lists based on the self-declared interests of your prospects and customers.
WM: What are the typical "barriers to entry" for those involved in segmentation for e-commerce merchants?
RT: Typical barriers to entry include easy list query and segmentation tools.
WM: What are some effective ways for Internet retailers to segment their list? Are RFM metrics dated?
RT: There are myriad ways to score and segment your database. I am still a big believer in R.F.M. scoring. Done properly, this scoring methodology gives direct response marketers an effective tool for visualizing segments, building A/B tests, and developing relevant offers and cross promotions. R.F.M., however, does not contemplate product SKUs. Product SKU shopping and purchase information can be a good predictor of future consumption behavior as well. I recommend R.F.M. scoring as a cornerstone for your segmentation efforts. Other purchase and shopping data should also be considered when building your segments.
WM: Should communication style change based on the segmentation strategy selected?
RT: Your "communication style" includes, among other things, the tone of your brand. I do not advocate using different communications styles across your segments – especially if your number of segments grows and becomes more sophisticated. Part of the "art" of marketing is maintaining your brand identity as you speak to your segments in a way that engages them with compelling copy, creative and offers.
WM: How does segmentation impact purchasing decisions? Is it an issue of trust or relevance?
RT: Segmentation helps increase relevance. Relevance begets more relevance over time and this helps the email marketer and email recipient forge a bond of trust. If your recipient has received relevant content in the past, she will likely continue to find your email relevant in the future.
It's important to remember that trust is earned over time and is the result of a consumer's experience with your brand across all interactions, not just email.
Customer experience is the sum of all experiences your customer has with you over time. All functional areas of an organization (not just marketers) need to manage customer experience across all channels including on-site/in-store shopping experience, support experience, product experience, shipping policies, return policies, etc.

West Mullan Fire Over 4,000 Acres – Red Cross Opens Evacuation Center [AUDIO]
Over 100 homes have been evacuated due to the West Mullan Fire that has been burning since last Sunday near Superior.
Strong winds have helped to increase the fire to over 4,000 acres, according to Fire Information Officer Pat McKelvey. The American Red Cross has opened an emergency evacuation center at Superior Elementary school.
McKelvey said some progress has been made in fighting the fire on the outskirts of Superior.
"We've got the fire hooked above Superior," McKelvey said. "Now, they're working on bringing it with the line in a west to east direction and trying to tie that together. Primarily visible right above those commercial businesses and what not right above Superior."
Fire Information Officer Pat McKelvey
A 5-mile stretch of the Clark Fork River remains closed near Superior, so that helicopters can draw water without placing recreationsts in danger. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

It does not interact with the OS, but it shares the same network buffer in the NIC, when this gets Full, you can not manage it any more, and apperantly it does get filled up during crashes. regards Walid.

Kirti Kanodia is a certified Theta Healer, Trained Family Constellation Facilitator, Tarot card Reader, Past life Regression Therapist, Angel card reader, Inner child integration, Astrologer, Tasso Therapist and Reiki Master.
Kirti Kanodia helps people understand and dissolve their inner disturbances using a process known as Systemic Family Constellations. Constellations are a deep, profound and moving way to expand understanding and restore peace of mind.
The major insight of this approach is that at the root of problems are ancestral traumas that reverberate through a family system. A Constellation views these problems as messages to be seen and heard. When these messages are clearly understood, the disturbance is transformed.
Kirti conducts "Inner Child Workshops" providing a safe space for people to clear their inner child issues. In the workshop they learn ways to "search" for their hidden memories and the associated emotions or trauma felt at that point in time. Following that, they learn how to release these emotions of grief, rage, terror, shame, pain, etc. Healing takes place when these feelings are released. Often, through these exercises, they learn to get more in touch with their inner feelings, leading to an increase in self-awareness, self-knowledge and an increased understanding and empathy towards people around them.
Transpersonal Therapy goes beyond the individual to consider the deep connections between human beings and our capacity to transcend the limitations of a three-dimensional consciousness. In Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Kirti offers to guide the client into the past as far back as the womb or further back into a past life, or in-between lives (life between lives). This Regression Therapy, similar to bringing up memories from younger experiences in this lifetime, can continue to earlier lifetimes, and hence is sometimes called Past Life Therapy. This type of hypnotherapy can be very useful in finding original situations and causes of the clients problems or conditions, thus making it much easier to help the clients with their problems or conditions. For example, often there does not seem to be any explanation or cause for a current - this lifetime - problem, such as unexplained pains and illness, fears, dislikes, different types of anxiety or low confidence and esteem, as well as relationship issues. When clients come to her, and it is found out that there is no known or logical reason why they have XYZ problem, then to consider regression into past lives is often helpful. Transpersonal Therapy or Regression Therapy can greatly assist the client with understanding these problems and help them to enhance their quality of life by helping them reinterpret and overcome or resolve these past life issues. Transpersonal Therapy also can be used to guide the client into directing their potential future.
Astrology has been Kirti's main tool for self-discovery. It combines science, symbology and spirituality. Astrology also gives a sense of the Divine workings through the physical manifestation of this world.
She has attained the highest level of achievement in her field of Vedic astrology and is revered as one of the most recognized Vedic astrologers in India.
Kirti Kanodia has experienced the many benefits of natural healing in her own life.
In her approach to treatment she addresses the whole person including physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects. She is strongly committed to the practice and teaching of wholistic health and has her own Healing Center since many years.

Have a queazy feeling this holiday season?
You're not alone; county is suffering an outbreak of intestinal distress
Staff writer
Kansas Department of Health public information officer Barbara Hersh said there have not been more cases of influenza or stomach flu reported in Kansas this year. She said the Center for Disease Control has not reported an increase either.
Those figures do not matter much to the people have come down with the flu this holiday season. Lincolnville day-care provider Barb Kaiser was sick for two days with the chills and fever of influenza before suffering the intestinal trials symptomatic of viral gastroenteritis on Thursday. She has decided to close up her home day-care operation until after the New Year Holiday. She was unable to keep down even the soothing elixir of chicken noodle soup on Thursday.
"The fever and chills were nasty," Kaiser said. "I haven't had anything this bad in a long time."
Children are often accused of being the carriers of flu. Marion Elementary School kindergarten teacher Katie Rahe said she had five of her 15 students out sick on Dec. 21. Children complaining of fevers were prevalent.
However, Kaiser said she picked up the flu from her pregnant daughter she was trying to take care of over the Christmas holiday.
Marion pharmacist Marlin Buchholz is also in the line of fire with sick people requesting medicine for their ailments. He also suffered a bout with the stomach flu; he does not wish the disease on anyone.
"I thought I had food poisoning," he said. "I'm hopeful not many people get what I got."
Buchholz has some imperial evidence to prove that many people have come down with the flu. He has been ordering 15 cases of Tamiflu a day; he said the number of scripts for Tamiflu has steadily increased. When he checked earlier on Thursday, his wholesale provider of Tamiflu was out of the drug. He was planning to acquire some more Tamiflu from St. Luke Hospital because it uses a different wholesaler.
Despite this data, Buchholz was not sure if this sick season is any worse than last year. He and Hersh said awareness of the disease might be up. Buchholz said about 100 people received flu shots this year, up from about 60 last year.
It may just be the time of year for flu, with travelers and holiday visitors passing around the viruses. Those who have not had either flu, like MES teachers Dani Lange or Rahe, are crossing their fingers hoping to make it through this recent outbreak.

Each week, we'll ask our stable of scribes to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
Week 35: Last word on 2013 Finals | Most intriguing Draft prospect | Advice for Dwight, CP3
Last word: What I'll remember most about the 2013 NBA Finals is …?
Steve Aschburner, NBA.com: Twenty-eight seconds left. Spurs up five. Miami fans heading for the exits. Then everyone got a refresher course in the fat lady and Yogi Berra.
Fran Blinebury, NBA.com: Ray Allen's tying 3-pointer in Game 6. It goes in annals of the greatest clutch shots in Finals history.
Scott Howard-Cooper, NBA.com: It was different. The Heat didn't beat a team in The Finals for the first time, as in 2012. They didn't steamroll the competition, as was the case for long attaches of the regular season. The Heat had to gut and grind these seven games out against a quality team. Different in a good way.
John Schuhmann, NBA.com: How close the Spurs were to winning the championship in Game 6. If Manu Ginobili hits both free throws with 28 seconds left, if Kawhi Leonard hits both with 19 seconds left, if they could just grab a rebound on either of the Heat's last two possessions of regulation, or if Ray Allen's three is a couple of inches to the left or right, everything would be different. The title certainly wasn't given to Miami, but it's amazing how it was determined by a series of somewhat random events. Heck, Leonard's three with 1:26 left or Duncan's layup in the final minute of Game 7 could have been the difference as well. The whole season — 1,315 games — all came down to just a few seconds.
Sekou Smith, NBA.com: Ray Allen's corner 3-pointer that sent Game 6 to overtime saved so much bacon in Miami the Heat need to retire his jersey. The fallout would have been catastrophic if he missed that shot. The fact that he had the wherewithal to back up to the 3-point line the way he did in that situation is a testament to the sort of preparation and understanding of the game that you expect from a future Hall of Famer.
Lang Whitaker, NBA.com's All Ball blog: Game 6. I think it's the best game I've ever seen in person, and I've been to more games than I can count. I know the Heat fans took some criticism for leaving early, but I understand — with 28 seconds left and Miami down five, I actually went on Delta.com and tried to change my flight home. I've never been so glad to have had bad wireless service.
Adriano Albuquerque, NBA Brasil: It has to be Game 6 as a whole. That whole game had just so many storylines — Duncan's first half, Birdman's return to the rotation, Kawhi's facial on Miller, Miller's shoeless 3-pointer, LeBron's eruption without the headband, the Spurs' collapse in the final seconds, Parker's big shots, "the yellow rope", Ray Allen's game-tying 3, and Bosh's two blocks in the end. Allen's 3 is an instant "Forever is Big" commercial.
Philipp Dornhegge, NBA Deutschland: The class that both organizations displayed. No surprise from the Spurs, but they also brought out the best in the Miami Heat. The Heat's series with the Pacers and Bulls were dogfights, marked by a lot of chippiness. In The Finals, we got the cleanest series I've seen in a long time. Zero technical fouls (!), an infinite amount of mutual respect between the teams and great sportsmanship after all was said and done.
Stefanos Triantafyllos, NBA Greece: It can't be anything else but Game 6. From LeBron's dominance to Ray Allen's 3-pointer and from the Spurs' meltdown to Gregg Popovich's "we don't foul over here". It was maybe the best NBA Finals I can recall, one for the ages. It had it all. The MVP who shushed all the haters, the old-timers with a heart as big as their legacy, newcomers (Green, Leonard, Chalmers) and above all the feeling that "we want more." Don't stop the season NOW. Not after THESE games! Who can wait until October?

I'm writing this post from 30,000 feet, and you're not
I like to think I'm resistant to neophilia, the fetishistic embrace of new technology endemic to Silicon Valley. And yet I felt a rush when I logged on to Gogo's inflight Wi-Fi service on the American Airlines flight I'm currently taking from San Francisco to New York. The airliner's cabin has long been the last online frontier, a disturbing pocket of disconnectivity. My colleague Jackson West urged me to test the service, to review it for my readers. But I find myself more preoccupied with human needs than speeds and feeds. More than anyone, I worry about the likes of Mary Meeker.I can hear the 20somethings in the audience scratching their heads: "Who's Mary Meeker?" Back in the '90s, investment banks' Internet analysts were superstars, viewed as oracles and rainmakers. In 1999, Meeker, Morgan Stanley's lead Internet analyst, got a profile in the New Yorker. The text is not online, but I distinctly remember how it chronicled Meeker's nonstop activity. The only time she was still was when she boarded an airplane, closed her eyes, and slept through the flight. Could she have stayed awake, had she known she could achieve download speeds of 989 kilobits per second, with a latency of 108 milliseconds, for the low, low price of $12.95 a flight? Inflight connections, currently on a handful of flights, will rapidly go from novelty to necessity. Bosses will expect workers to log on nonstop; why shouldn't they? Even on leisure trips, compulsive connectors will go online out of sheer habit. I recently remarked to a friend, "Planes are for sleeping." That's before I got onto Gogo. Alas, poor Mary; even soaring above the clouds, there will be no rest for the weary.

Free organic gardening workshop in Beaumont
Tony Pereira, research assistant professor in civil engineering at Lamar University, is presenting a free workshop on how to start an organic garden Saturday, Oct. 20, from 1-3 p.m. at Basic Foods in Beaumont.
The workshop will cover the fundamental aspects of how to choose a proper location for an organic garden, which crops are appropriate for Southeast Texas, soil composition and preparation and design. Pereira will also discuss the required materials needed to start the garden, soil testing and amendments, watering and natural mulching, pest control, animal husbandry and building a compost pile.
"We are going to cover a variety of aspects," Pereira said. "We are going to talk about whether you should import soil, make your own soil, or be concerned about the soil in the area, which is very contaminated — a critical issue that I don't think a lot of people are aware of."
Pereira said that organic gardens are healthier for humans due to lack of pesticides, herbicides, chemicals, synthetic fertilizer, syntheatic materials and genetically modified materials. He said he has been growing and eating organic foods free of pesticides, genetically modified organisms, and chemicals his entire life.
"Organic gardens are good for you, they are good for your kids, good for your pets, good for your house and the biosphere," he said.
Pereira said that the workshop would cover how gardeners can defend their crops against insects with plant-made insecticides.
"There is a ton of books out there that offer suggestions on how to care for a garden," he said. "But there is only a couple that should be considered. I plan to name those at the workshop."
Pereira is also an advocate of sustainability, which has environmental, economic and social dimensions, encompasses the concept of stewardship and the responsible management of resource usage. He holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of California Los Angeles.
Basic Foods is at 229 Dowlen Road in Beaumont.

Diners looking for a nice sit-down meal in La Cañada Flintridge have a couple of options, but local entrepreneur Brady Caverly is betting that they are ready for one more.
Caverly is in the final stages of launching Flintridge Proper, an upscale restaurant in the space formerly occupied by Los Gringos Locos on Foothill Boulevard. The La Cañada resident hopes to open by February.
Caverly cleared a final procedural hurdle last week when the city Planning Commission voted 4 to 0 and approved his request to extend alcohol-sales hours, allowing Flintridge Proper to offer drinks as early as 7 a.m. and as late as 1 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Commissioner Jonathan Curtis was not present.
Caverly told commissioners that Flintridge Proper won't be a "shot-and-a-beer" kind of place, but that he wanted to be able to serve mimosas with breakfast and cocktails to late-arriving patrons.
Commissioner Rick Gunter said he is in full support of amending the permit because he believes the new restaurant will fill a vital role.
"I think we need more choices in town. We're trying to build a community that's diverse economically, so it's a nice idea to have some places open later," Gunter said.
Caverly, the co-founder of Sherman Oaks-based nutrition and weight-loss product company Provida Life Sciences, said the project grew out of his and his wife Mary's desire for a local late-night spot.
"We like to stay in La Cañada and we like to hang out with our friends, and we thought La Cañada deserved a terrific place," he said. "I started by identifying what La Cañada Flintridge needed, and we want to be able to serve those needs all throughout the day."
Flintridge Proper will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, with both a family-friendly and more upscale menu as well as a full bar.
Caverly said he has brought in Chef Kevin Napier and General Manager Benjamin Chanler Laurin, both veterans of the Patina Restaurant Group. Patina properties range from the upscale Patina and Nick and Stef's Steakhouse in downtown Los Angeles to the Café Descanso at Descanso Gardens in La Cañada.
Architect Sam Marshall, who worked on L.A. hot spots Gjelina and Laurel Hardware, designed the Flintridge Proper space, which includes a separate room for the café and casual dining and a more upscale room with a bar.
FOR THE RECORD: An earlier version of this story stated Marshall designed Gjelina. Gjelina was designed by MAI Studio. Marshall was the project manager.
The Caverlys are funding the launch themselves, but hope to bring in local investors soon.
La Cañada Flintridge Chamber of Commerce President Pat Anderson said Flintridge Proper is part of a wave of new business openings in 2012, including the Habit Burger Grill and Sprouts Farmers Market, that has brought the city's commercial vacancy rate down to 4%. Los Gringos Locos relocated to a larger Foothill Boulevard location earlier this year.
Anderson said she thinks Caverly's ambitious offerings may attract customers from outside the city.
Caverly said he hopes his restaurant will acquire a dedicated following at home.
"It's a community restaurant, and we're only going to have one chance to make a first impression," he said. "We want people coming multiple times a week, so we have to over-deliver."

The 2011 Spending Reduction Act, unveiled on Thursday by Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; Rep. Scott Garrett, R-N.J.; and Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C.; outlines $2.5 trillion in cuts by dropping current spending to fiscal 2008 levels and freezing budgets at fiscal 2006 levels for 10 years beginning Oct. 1. The legislation, which will be introduced officially on Monday, would reduce the size and cost of the federal civilian workforce and cut a number of federal programs.
"The Spending Reduction Act begins the difficult task of shrinking the federal bureaucracy that threatens our future prosperity," DeMint said. "Congress must take the steps now to balance the budget, pay off our debt and preserve freedom for future generations."
The proposal includes provisions to eliminate automatic pay increases for civilian employees for five years, cut the workforce by 15 percent through attrition and hire one new worker for every two who leave. The legislation also would collect unpaid taxes from federal workers, prohibit employees from conducting union business while on the job and cut the federal travel budget in half.
In recent weeks, lawmakers already have proposed banning union activities during work hours, cutting jobs, extending the two-year pay freeze for an additional year, and requiring two-week furloughs for federal employees.
"This has little to do with spending reduction and more to do with anti-government ideologues seizing on our nation's economic woes as an opportunity to attack not only federal employees and their unions, but also workers employed by government contractors by eliminating Davis-Bacon wage protections," said Matt Biggs, legislative and political director for the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers. "IFPTE will work aggressively with the larger labor community, and with our friends in Congress, in opposition to these misguided attacks."
Union leaders also expressed concern about the proposal's impact on agency missions and workforce morale.
"Slashing the federal workforce by 15 percent would force agencies to contract out the work, costing taxpayers more money in the long run," American Federation of Government Employees National President John Gage said. "Freezing federal pay raises for another five years would demoralize the workforce and make it even harder to attract and retain talented workers."
Colleen Kelley, president of the National Treasury Employees Union, called the proposal a "step backward."
"Many agencies already are struggling with insufficient resources and staffing shortages in the face of expanding workloads and expectations on the part of the American people," she said. "Even if drastic reductions such as these are ultimately not enacted into law, proposals like these get in the way of vital agency recruitment and retention efforts."

Plum Island a warning for rest of coast, Boston?
While they're on the Plum Island beaches miles north of Boston, the toppled homes from the latest storm to hit should serve as a warning for others.
While they're on the beaches miles north of Boston, the homes that have been toppled and demolished in the wake of the latest storm to hit the Bay State should serve as a warning for residents to prepare, a Boston Harbor group said.
"What Plum Island and New York and New Jersey have shown is that storms are becoming more frequent and more intense and property owners really do have to start to prepare not only for episodic incidents, but also for the long term," said Vivien Li, president of The Boston Harbor Association.
Li's group put out a study earlier this year titled "Preparing for the Rising Tide." It lays out recommendations for property owners to prepare for projected changes in sea levels and coastal flooding by the end of the century.
State Sen. Bruce Tarr and other officials sent a letter to Gov. Deval Patrick on Friday asking for assistance for residents of Newbury and Plum Island.
"In the past, and with the current storm, all involved parties have exercised all available means to protect homes and coastal infrastructure," Tarr said in the letter. "Yet the current threat demands an even greater response, and thus we are seeking the assistance and expertise of state government to help protect homes that will likely remain in jeopardy for the next several days and for the foreseeable future."
While Boston would not likely see the same damage done to the dozen Plum Island homes because of beach erosion, that doesn't mean homes and commercial property in and around the city would be unscathed.
Li said that if retreat from the water is not an option, then adaption is and pointed to examples including condominium buildings moving mechanics like boilers to higher floors and the new Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in the Charlestown Navy Yard being raised one foot in anticipation of rising sea levels.
"It's about the idea of starting to prepare," Li said.
Plum Island problems
Near ocean homes were severely damaged and destroyed after the recent storm.
*At least two homes had the sand washed out from under them, sending them toppling to the waves and beach below, according to The Daily News in Newburyport.
*Building officials said three homes were demolished and about a dozen more are uninhabitable, according to the Globe.
