UGA basketball coach Mark Fox may have to wait until the November signing period to celebrate winning the services of 5-star recruit Kentavious Caldwell of Greenville High.
The 6-foot-6, 185-pound shooting guard told the AJC that he is sticking by last week's commitment to UGA but also wants to take official visits to Tennessee and Florida State. Caldwell is considered to be the state's top prospect entering his senior year, ranked in the nation's top 15 by multiple recruiting services.
"I'm 100-percent going to Georgia … that's my school, and that's where I'm going to sign — It's just that my family wants me to visit a couple of other schools to have something to compare to Georgia" Caldwell told the AJC. "I understand where they are coming from. They just want me to know for sure that Georgia is the No. 1 place for me, and I know it will be."
Caldwell, who averaged 29.7 points at Greenville last season, was expected to wait closer to the November signing period to announce his college decision but picked UGA last week. He was also considering Alabama and Florida, among many others.
"When I talked with Georgia's coaches after [Caldwell's commitment], I told them that I am going to encourage him to visit other schools, too," Greenville coach Richard Carter said. "My No. 1 concern is for my kids. I think they need to take every opportunity to make their official visits to be able to compare the schools."
What was the reaction by Georgia's coaches? "They said 'Ah, coach, kids these days don't want to take these official visits,'" Carter said. "I said 'Yeah, most of them may not. But that's the not the best thing for Kentavious. He needs to take a few of his.' Georgia has its opinion, and I have mine. They probably didn't like hearing what I had to say, but my No. 1 interest in my kids. I want the best for my kids."
Caldwell has said one of Georgia's main attractions is that two of his closest friends will be playing football for the Bulldogs — former Greenville teammate Kenarious Gates signed with Georgia last year, while Wilcox quarterback Nick Marshall is an early 2011 commitment.
"What is good for [Gates and Caldwell] may not necessarily be good for Kentavious," Carter said. "You don't make the biggest decisions of your life just because your friends did this or that. A young man has to do what is in the best interests for his future."
Carter wanted to make sure to point out that he is not anti-Georgia. "If Kentavious takes his visits and still wants to go to Georgia, then I will be very happy for him. Georgia is a great school and a great opportunity, and they really take care of their athletes. You can't go wrong with Georgia … I just want him to have some other schools to compare it with, that's all."

Hmm. Do players usually take official visits after they have already committed somewhere else? Sounds a little fishy. What happens if the elite programs start going after him?
July 30th, 2010
3:33 pm
I thought high schools kids committed in the summer before senior year.. to take the pressure off, so they could concentrate on school work and enjoy their senior year and/or early enroll in college ??? Go Dawgs !!
July 30th, 2010
3:40 pm
Sounds like his high school coach doesn't like UGA. I know he says different, but then why the snide remark on what UGA coaches said to him when he told them he was going to recommend Caldwell take other visits.
July 30th, 2010
3:50 pm
Uh oh…this is not a good sign. I hope we can keep him…but he may like what he sees at FSU and UT…the facilities are way better than what we currently have. I'm really surprised this kid is not visiting top basketball programs…FSU and UT are not exactly top basketball programs…but Bruce Pearl has made UT a consistent contender as of late.
July 30th, 2010
3:57 pm
Are some of you illiterate? His coach and family want him to visit other schools so he can compare them to UGA — he said he will sign with UGA, he's 100% UGA, he's just making everyone happy. You only go through the recruiting process once. Some of you have been permanently messed up in the mind just because of Da'rick Rogers and at some point, you're going to have to move on.
He's all Dawg. Stop the worrying.
July 30th, 2010
4:09 pm
You probably said that before Rodgers jumped ship…it is not over till it is over in the world of college recruiting. If he was so firm…he would not need any visits. I dont want him to commit somewhere else but honestly UGA does not have as much to offer when compared to some of the top programs. It would not be unthinkable for him to jump ship…we are not an elite program or even a good one yet….I see all the banter but it is not warranted. We have a great deal to offer in football such as tradition, facilities, and a coach that puts players in the NFL….However, our basketball tradition is a joke and our coach has not even had a winning season yet. All this kid has is the promise that UGA will compete with him there…these other schools can show him the NCAA banners…etc. Not FSU…but UT and others have plenty to offer that we dont have….just have an uneasy feeling about this kid. I hope to be proved wrong. Go Dogs!
July 30th, 2010
4:36 pm
Won't suprise me if he switches to FSU or UT.
July 30th, 2010
4:49 pm
You guys have very little to worry about. Kids take visits after they've committed all the time and 99% of them are solid with their verbal.
July 30th, 2010
5:59 pm
Typical thug.
July 30th, 2010
6:23 pm
Not worried about Kentavious. It's the coach that has me concerned. Seems hell bent on insisting that he visit other schools even though he appears set on Georgia. I have a problem with his approach and reasoning behind pushing Kentavious to take other visits…against UGA coaches wishes at that. It is not about you coach…step out of the way and let this young man make his own decision.
July 30th, 2010
8:02 pm
Michael, I was more talking about Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas, the really top tier teams. Although he has gotten interest from Ohio St and Indiana as well which are well up there. He said a few weeks ago that he hoped UNC, Duke, and Kentucky would start showing interest this month. That was shortly before he signed with UGA. I just wonder where his head is going to be if one of those teams starts coming after him hard.
July 30th, 2010
9:12 pm
He is a teenager, who knows what he will do.
I am a Bulldogs fan, but I do agree he should take all of his visits.
We as fans sometimes forget that it is the players choice, to attend the school they believe is the best fit for them.
July 30th, 2010
9:12 pm
If he looks around much he'll see there is MUCH better out there for basketball players. Most people don't even know uga has a basketball team.
July 30th, 2010
9:47 pm
"y" – Do you really think you are fooling people into thinking you are a DAWG! A slick juvenile perhaps, or just a jealous jerk. Peddle your "intelligence oriented" remarks somewhere they will believe it.
As for Bruce Pearl, ask him how many times he played UGA last year and how many times he won.
The coach at Greenville I am certain is not a UGA fan. If I recall correctly, Kentavious said he woke up on Saturday morning and just felt it was what he wanted to do. If it had been a school day for instance, his coach would have talked him out of it. these HS coaches have a dramatic impact on these young athletes. They also know it.
Coach Mark Fox will have a bigger impact, teach him more about the game, and send him to the NBA after winning big at UGA. Fox is building a winner, everyone knows it, and the rest of the SEC realizes there is another contender coming online on a routine basis.
"y" – It is, for real dogs, GO DAWGS!
July 30th, 2010
10:02 pm
UGA fans crack me up. Fox goes 14-17 with two first rounders on there roster on all the sudden Fox is a great coach and building a winner. I can't wait for the next couple years when UGA fans want Fox out because they will realize he really isn't a good coach. HAHA
July 30th, 2010
10:36 pm
If it is meant to be, he will be a Dawg. If he doesn't want to be, then good luck to him. However, we will be excited to have him play in Athens, and Coach Fox is quickly gaining the respect of the players and national media. Good things are happening at Georgia, and there are going to be some very special seasons ahead for us.
July 30th, 2010
10:40 pm
Hey Derrick…I can't wait for Fox to start showing results with the great recruiting he's doing. And when he does, you and slick can come back and toss my salad.
July 30th, 2010
10:42 pm
Why don't these kids just keep their mouths shut until closer to signing day. Go see all the schools and keep a top 5. So much happens between now and when they actually put pen to paper.
July 30th, 2010

Fox isn't even doing great in recruiting. Caldwell picked UGA over FSU and Tenn none of the big time teams wanted him. He is the only good pick by UGA. Thornton would have gone to GT had he been able to play right away but he would have to sit out a year. I am glad he didn't because he really isn't that great. Those other 3* he picked up suck as well.
July 30th, 2010
11:40 pm
i got tired of hanging out on the yech blogs and thought i would see what be going on over here
July 31st, 2010
12:05 am
It will surpise me if Caldwell signs with UGA. UT is not that great of a school, but Pearl is a heck of a recruiter. Not sure why the kid is interested in FSU though. Considering how poor UGA has done keeping Georgia players while fighting an insurmountable battle against AAU coaches (who overwhelmingly do not want kids to attend UGA), I won't be a bit surprised in he signs with Tennessee. Derrick and the other morons who post on here are wrong about Fox…he is a great coach. Problem is UGA is the hardest basketball sell in the SEC.
July 31st, 2010
12:10 am
More ignorance evident on this blog. UGA has an exceptional basketball development facility, better than UT or most other schools. Problem is the dead tradition since Harrick destroyed the momentum and an arena that needs to be torn down, not updated. Not enough seats, not loud enough and too far from a population that would sell it out. That is where the problem lies.
July 31st, 2010
12:12 am
No problem w/ a student taking visits in itself – its a big decision – but it almost sounds like Mr. Carter is getting that AAU style recruiting payola with statements like that…
July 31st, 2010
12:14 am
oh – and out b-ball facilities blows UT and FSU out of the water – its not even close. With the coliseum update, we will be firing on all cylinders.
July 31st, 2010
1:03 am
He needs to go to Florida and the state of Tennessee and check and see if there jails are better than Athens. I hope he goes to Georgia so he will have a chance of making the all Clarke County Jail team.

Funny how no one talks about the kid getting a good education. Nevermind……. he probably thinks dog really is spelled dawg.

"Chuck UGA" – Check out the refurbished Stegausaurous this winter and then tell me about the facility.. will look like a Pro Arena after all the work is done… I like having a Historial building that gets loud…Just the fact that everyone is talking aboout UGA on BBall tells me there is a New Sheriff in town…
July 31st, 2010
8:01 am
Best interests? Then just go to Duke. Top team, top academics, top practice competition, constant TV exposure.

Comon pig farmers…if he is really that good, you'll only have him one year anyway….chillax….Anyone seen my red panites?
July 31st, 2010
8:28 am
Hate to break it to you but in the world of college basketball this H.S coach gets a little something from the coaches at UT and FSU if his kid comes out for a visit. Very selfish move but these H.S coaches definitely take advantage when one of their guys is getting heavily recruited.
July 31st, 2010
8:40 am
the stink of it was he can't go to his left
July 31st, 2010
9:46 am
The facilities at UGA are fantastic. Basketball has added so much as of late. They have brand new state of the art practice facilities and Stegman is getting a huge makeover in which it will look like an NBA facility. UGA has a great new, young coach and is on the rise. Keep your word, keep your commitment and come to Georgia
July 31st, 2010
10:42 am
Sounds like somebody is on the take from UT and/or FSU, and has a signing bonus hanging in the balance here. At the very least he's got some serious credibility issues at stake after likely promising to deliver his stud to the appropriate doorstep.
July 31st, 2010
12:40 pm
BobDawg don't say UGA and Sheriff in the same sentence or we will get the right idea abouts the players.
July 31st, 2010
1:53 pm
Why do I not believe the coach's real concern is what is best for his kids?
July 31st, 2010
2:48 pm
It sounds like Coach Carter wants a little soething from these other schools and has not had his 15 minutes of fame. The kid made his mind up and it is his choice to follow his buddies, not to have his coach tell him that his choice is wrong for the wrong reasons. I am not so worried that he goes somewhere else, but I would keep an eye on coach Carter. Lets see if he goes on these visits with Kentavious. He sounds a little slighted.
July 31st, 2010
3:55 pm
y, please explain to me exactly what it is that Tennessee and FSU has to offer that Georgia doesn't. I see no basketball national championship banners hanging from the rafters at either of these schools. I mean can you get a better education at these schools? Please, don't even go that route. Yea Tennessee and FSU can field a decent team every now and then when they are able to recruit out of state talent. These schools have no better basketball tradition than Georgia has. Oh sure they've been better than the dawgs lately but that is about to change. Tennessee is crapping on themselves now because the gravey train to Tennessee of Georgia kids is about to come to a screaching halt.
July 31st, 2010

Reality Bites, yea I found them. Your wife left them in my back seat.
July 31st, 2010
5:04 pm
TDAWG it is easy! What do the other schools have over UGA? UGA has the smallest student population of african americans. The Black population at UGA is 83% athletes. Well, if you are black stupid and not that great at sports, then what inroads did you make for your future outside of sports? I don't see a great deal of the 100 Blackmen as UGA grads compared to other schools. Now do you get why UGA is a White Southern Plantation acting as a State University?
July 31st, 2010
5:16 pm
Tdawg, im with you on FSU, the only real reason to go there would be that you would be on TV alot. Tennessee has some advantages though. One, they have a well known and proven coach. Two, they have been to the NCAA tournament 5 times in a row, with 3 sweet 16's, and an elite 8. Also, they have a great basketball fanbase. Last year their attendance was ranked 4th in the country. UGA was ranked 79th. So its not much of a traditional view but a view that Tennessee really seems to have their stuff together right now.
July 31st, 2010
5:27 pm
Tennessee this and Tennessee that…Didn't an undermanned UGA blow out that "stuff together" program this year? Doesn't that mean that UGA is getting its "stuff together" to hammer this power? Power? Yeah right!

Published paper!
Becoming a vampire without being bitten: the narrative collective-assimilation hypothesis.
"We propose the narrative collective-assimilation hypothesis—that experiencing a narrative leads one to psychologically become a part of the collective described within the narrative. In a test of this hypothesis, participants read passages from either a book about wizards (from the Harry Potter series) or a book about vampires (from the Twilight series). Both implicit and explicit measures revealed that participants who read about wizards psychologically became wizards, whereas those who read about vampires psychologically became vampires. The results also suggested that narrative collective assimilation is psychologically meaningful and relates to the basic human need for connection. Specifically, the tendency to fulfill belongingness needs through group affiliation moderated the extent to which narrative collective assimilation occurred, and narrative collective assimilation led to increases in life satisfaction and positive mood, two primary outcomes of belonging. The implications for the importance of narratives, the need to belong to groups, and social surrogacy are discussed."

CHICAGO, Ill. - Junior Sarah Ingalls ripped a one-out single to left field in the top of the eighth inning to lift the Youngstown State softball team to a 6-5 win over UIC in game two of a doubleheader on Saturday afternoon. Freshman Miranda Castiglione went 3-for-4 with four RBIs.
The Penguins improve to 14-21 overall and 8-9 in the Horizon League while the Flames move to 20-21 overall and 13-4 in the league.
After walking the leadoff batter in the bottom of eighth, junior Casey Crozier, who picked up her 12th win of the season, retired the next three batters to seal the victory. Crozier, who scattered seven hits, struck out five in the complete-game win.
With the game tied at 4-4 after six innings, junior Courtney Ewing singled home Samantha Snodgrass, who singled and reached second on an error, with two outs to put the Penguins up 5-4.
UIC's Michelle Preish hit a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh to force extra innings.
Castiglione's RBI-single in the top of the first gave YSU a 1-0 lead before the Flames scored three in the bottom of the second to go up 3-1.
In the top of the third inning, Castiglione's two-out bases-loaded double off the top of the center field wall cleared the bases to score Kelly Stowe, Ewing and Snodgrass, who all singled, and put the Penguins up 4-3.
The Flames knotted the game at 4-4 with a two-out single in the bottom of the sixth.
Snodgrass, Ewing and Stowe each had two hits for the Penguins, who totaled 11 in game two.
In the opener, senior Vicky Rumph hit a solo home run as the Penguins tallied just two hits in the 5-1 loss.
The Penguins and Flames close out the series, Sunday, at Noon.

When I was 18 I read The Peoples History of the United States, and for the first time I really learned about Columbus. It was disorienting. My world was at once blown wide open and significantly more real. Something similar happened when I first learned about the Councils of Nicea, or who John Brown was, or where Southern California gets its water, who Halliburtons subsidiaries are, how the Avenue Cribs became the original Crip set, or that Martin Luther King Jr. wore fake glasses because he thought they made him look more distinguished. This type of discovery, how it serves as a catalyst for a reconsideration of one's world, is the root of my practice.
Central to my work is the use of objects, images, and inference to excavate, archive, and chronicle stories that may have fallen on deaf ears, been buried over time, or simply obscured by something else. Im interested in stories that have socio-cultural relevance and the ability to be personal on many levels to a variety of people so as to elicit rich social exchange and pique awareness, valuation, empathy, and introspection. My intent is to position the work as both an archive and a mine by simply laying out or exposing a story in such a way that the viewer completes a narrative loop based on the resources I present.

Moaning Cavern Caving Adventure
Vallecito, CA
Open Daily:
Mondays - Fridays, 10am to 5pm
Saturdays and Sundays, 9am to 5pm
- Providing underground tours for over 30 years
- Largest vertical chamber open to the public in California - could hold the Statue of Liberty!
- Start your adventure with a 165-foot rope rappel into the cavern
- Expert guides will explain the history and geology of the cavern
- To add even more thrills, check out our Zipline & Moaning Cavern Adventure complete with a 165-foot rappel!
Moaning Cavern is home to the largest vertical chamber open to the public in California. A massive space so vast it could hold the Statue of Liberty!
Start your cave exploration with a 165-foot rope rappel into the darkness of the cavern below.
Most areas are undeveloped, so there are no lights, stairs, or walkways. Instead, you will daringly explore chasms, tunnels and tight spaces by climbing and belly crawling with lighted helmets to show the way.
Guides explain the history and geology of the cavern, and discuss the explorations that have traced the cavern to its current depth of 410 feet.
The tour ends on the spot where scientific excavations revealed the bones of prehistoric people who had fallen into the cavern thousands of years ago.
Essential Information:
Participants must be in good physical condition, at least 12 years of age, 4' tall and weigh at least 100 pounds; minors must be accompanied by an adult. You will need to sign a waiver upon arrival. Temperature of the cave is 61 degrees. Hardhat with light, gloves and coveralls are provided.
3 hours
Maximum Participants:
10-12 per tour
Not Allowed
Weather Dependent:
This experience is not weather dependent.
What to Wear:
We provide all necessary caving equipment, including gloves, helmet with light, and coveralls. Wear a long sleeve shirt, rugged, loose fitting pants avoid clothes that absorb water and sturdy shoes that have traction soles. We recommend you bring knee pads. We also recommend that participants do not bring expensive cameras or valuable jewelry. Disposable cameras are best.
Booking Information:
For this experience, it is recommended to request bookings at least 7 days in advance.
Cancellation Policy:
Once you have received a booking confirmation, cancellations and rebooking are allowed up to 14 days prior to the Experience. Failure to appear on your booked date or to cancel and rebook at least 14 days prior to your booked date will result in the loss of the value of your Experience.
Experience ID:
How cold is the cave?
The temperature in the cavern is pretty consistent at 61 degrees, therefore most are comfortable in short sleeves and shorts (if you get cold easily, we recommend bringing a light jacket). Also, do keep in mind that clothing may get dirty and some minerals may not wash out.
Can I bring food or drink with me in the cave?
In a conservation effort, food and drink is not allowed in the caverns or gold mines. It only takes a small amount of these foreign materials to make a big difference in the cavern environment and to the cleanliness of the mines. However, if you need to bring food or drink with you for health purposes, it can be approved by your guide.
How safe is the rappelling?
Professional rappelling equipment is provided as well as a trained expedition guide. The rappel is easy enough to not require any previous experience. However, it is a high adventure activity in a natural environment.

"Our Moaning Cavern Rappel and Cave tour was phenomenal! Not only was it thrilling and, at times, almost surreal, but our guide, Stacey was so patient and knowledgeable about the innards of the cave, she made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. The true beauty and wonder of Moaning Cavern was absolutely made possible and appreciable thanks to the fun and helpful employees and guides there at the Adventure park. We will definitely recommend the trip to EVERYONE and hope to be able to return some day to relive the experience!!!"

Response to: Have these people heard about this "new" thing called "Struts"???
Keeping simple things simple is one of the reasons I'm using Tapestry for my application.

I agree with most readers here. I dont see how JSF will simplify the view ?? I still like Struts, and I think Craig M. should spend more time perfecting Struts :)

I think you need to spend little more time to understand what exactly is JSF doing and how powerful it will be in case of huge project say containing 2000 files in presentation layer.
Have these people heard about this "new" thing called "Struts"???

I'm very much aware of what JSF can do. I understand that its notion of renderkits theoretically allows for a single target "view" that can be rendered in multiple formats. I say again: it doesn't need to be as complex as it is. Frankly (and don't take this personally) I am tired of API and framework advocates who tell us "just take a little more time to understand our complex framework, because once you've gotten your doctorate in using it over a period of several years (at which point it will have been replaced by the next generation) you will agree it's really powerful and wonderful!" Phooey! A framework should facilitate the implementation of simple tasks in a simple way, and only if you WANT to dig deeper, you should be able to THEN learn the guts of the framework to do more sophisticated things. Unfortunately, the people who are building these APIs and frameworks honestly don't seem interested in making simple things simple, and this is not only alienating us developers who want tools that make our lives EASIER (not harder), it is also thwarting acceptance of genuinely advanced ways of doing things.

Very well put--"fascination with complexity!" I'm concerned that it's described equally well as "aversion to simplicity." As if developing a "simple" framework was "beneath" some people. It would make them--horrors!--like Microsoft, and we don't want that, do we? Imagine, making a template framework that could be used by an HTML designer directly, without developer intervention for every little page tweak! Why, it would allow developers to concentrate on working on CODE rather than on fixing presentation layer issues that arise because putting JSPs in the hands of page designers is a recipe for disaster! But we wouldn't want THAT, would we? Think of what it would do to "job security" (through "job obscurity?")
I haven't played with Tapestry yet, but it sounds like a good idea, judging from what you've said. You shouldn't dismiss JSP yet, though. Never mind the bloated JSF--the JSTL standard tag library gives you the kind of power you really want in a JSP framework. And it plays well with Struts already. Foreach iteration and conditional constructs plus XML processing and SQL queries.
Why is it scoffed at? I guess it's not complex enough! Plus, it resembles the dreaded COLD FUSION, a template framework known for... making simple things simple. The horror! How dreadful! We can't have SIMPLE frameworks, we "need" baroquely ornate code that not even the original developers can document properly, flexible enough to do everything but incapable in the end of doing anything. :-(

Few hurt in multi-vehicle I-90 wrecks
A series of chain reaction crashes involving five semi-trucks, numerous cars and a state trooper's vehicle shut down Interstate-90 last week near North Bend. The sliding and crashes began around 10 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 16.
Only minor injuries were reported but westbound lanes of the highway were closed for hours between mileposts 34 and 40, backing up traffic for more than three miles as crews removed the spun-out vehicles.
In the initial crash, a passenger vehicle rolled over. North Bend tow truck driver Dave Dahl of Snoqualmie Valley Towing and a Washington State Patrol officer were stopped at the scene of the crash when an Atlas Van Lines semi lost control and started sliding down the highway.

High School. Four of the most important years of your life. But it isn't always dances and keg parties and sucking face in your parents' mini-van. Sometimes it's ugly and hard and complicated. As complicated as a conspiracy to overthrow the president.
There's something rotten at St. Donovan's High and sophomore newspaper reporter Bobby Funke is on it like pink rubber bands on your little sister's braces. When senior hottie Francesca Facchini solicits Funke's help tracking down a set of stolen SATs, Funke uncovers a story dirtier than the lunch lady's mustache.
After he fingers the school president (figuratively) for the crime, Funke becomes one of the most popular kids at St. Donovan's High. No longer known simply as the freshman who was once tied to a giant snowman penis, Funke wins the respect of everyone from the Desert-Storm-hero-turned-educator Principal Kirkpatrick to the kid that farts on him in Spanish class.
When Francesca takes Funke to homecoming, even the in-school suspension delinquents turn nice and offer guidance on how to keep his boner in check during slow dances. But high school's not always what it seems. As Funke's popularity grows so do his suspicions.
Did the president really steal the SATs? Or is Funke just a pawn in a conspiracy as complicated as adolescence itself? Determined to find the truth, Funke digs deeper and unearths the sordid underbelly of St. Donovan's. Student council members, college bookies, public school brats, everyone seems to play a part. Armed only with a learner's permit and the spirit of Woodward and Bernstein, Funke must crack the case before it cracks him.

Clare's Sydney Second Hand
House Call
Name: Clare
Location: Sydney
This was the only free-standing house I could afford near the centre of Sydney: solidly built, but with cheap and nasty internal finish, and little character. I didn't have much money, and I didn't want to contribute to landfill by throwing things out, or to global warming by buying new if I could avoid it. So I've spent five years coming up with quirky solutions that don't cost the earth.
Almost every single thing is second hand (deceased estate auctions, ebay etc) and most things have had another treatment to make them 'just right'. We stained and painted a cheap (ebay) bed, and made it look grand with an old chinese screen (junk shop) behind. Vintage mirrors 'funk up' the bathroom, juxtaposing the modern sinks. A recycled bridge girder reclad the stairs (formerly unattractive timber veneer). I framed my great aunt's silk scarf to make a great picture and found the marble statue at a sale.
The mantelpiece was built from an old one and integrates the stereo – there is no fireplace, but there was also no character, so this stands in for both. An old mirror tops it off with an elk antler carried all the way to Australia from the US! It was heavy and customs had a field day, but we got it home.
I went to town in the small, unimaginative laundry, with a mural of an English garden on a windowless wall. I covered the sterile tiles with framed mushrooms on plywood – a childhood love of fungi that I get to enjoy every day. On this wall you can just see them framing the mural.
If you haven't got much money, but have lots of imagination, I believe you can still have the house of your dreams... I have!
See more of Clare's style on her blog, Doesn't Cost the Earth Interiors.
Thanks, Clare!

May we have a house tour? This looks FABULOUS! Reading their blog left me wanting. I was disappointed not to see the whole house. The above photos are stunning.
Bravo ! An absolute triumph of design ... and eco friendly to boot. Love it.
My friend (also named Claire, coincidentally!) found a wonderful metallic Asian screen like yours second hand and turned it into wall art, too. Magnificent solution to an ugly or awkward wall space.
I want to know more about the mural! Is it from a photo? Did you do it or hire someone? Any tips for doing a trompe l'oeil mural?
Beautiful spaces, Claire. I too would love to see more.
Another vote for a house tour. My imagination went soaring from the blog, and then I eagerly looked for the tour....which was missing. I'm sure the real tour would outshine my imaginary one
Thanks for the lovely comments! I did paint the mural (as if I could afford a professional....). Tips - you may not believe me, but I got a book out of the library on 'how to paint a mural'!! This is now my fourth or fifth, but you don't have to be great at art. Perspective is key.
The support from all of you is SO encouraging. Thank you!
Really beautiful, and I absolutely love the mural
Hi Clare, I'm also a Sydneysider and into reclaiming and repurposing items. I also love to mix styles of decorating and making it work despite the odds. A question what it the item on the mantle piece in front of the mirror. It looks amazing. Also I am after tusks, faux of course, do you know where I can get some?
I adore the screen and the trompe l'oeil doorway. What a wonderful idea, and the execution is fantastic! You're a far better artist than you admit, Clare -- plenty of people try something like this and get it wrong.
That old chinese screen is a great find, it has such a nice reflective/foiled quality to it and really glams the room up.
I would like to see more if this house too.
love it - and i third (fourth? fifth?) the vote for a full house tour! i will be checking out your blog for sure.........
Grand! House tour, please.
Fire place mantel is fabulous.
More please! That mural...wow!

Not too long ago, I posted The Enterprise Dependency. Essentially, it was a visual depiction of a good ole' enterprise framework that was "several dozen megabytes chock full of helper classes like
IEnterpriseAuthenticationProviderFactoryManagementFactory." Inspired by the diagram, commenter "LieutenantFrost" shared his own "enterprise-ness and despair" with a dependency diagram that looks somewhat like an anglerfish.
But that got me thinking: like a Representative Line, perhaps dependency diagrams can help provide some insight into the pain that large applications' maintainers face each day. And just then, Jan-Hendrik sent in such a diagram. Note that each little box represents a class, and a line is its dependency to another class.
Jan added, "as people were introducing me to the code, they repeatedly said that parts of the system were so complex that no one dared touch it. My code dependency analyzer (X-Ray) generated this this beautiful spidery ball of fun."
If you have a dependency diagram of your own that would be a good fit for Enterprise Dependency, please send it to me!

I don't think that would help, actually.
It only looks this bad because the classes are arranged in a circle. Now if you arranged them in the shape of an anglerfish...

The Life I Live.... (Renesme and Jacob)
By: Tia Downs
Chapter One the First Time
It was 6'o clock on Friday night and I was so excited to meet with Jacob. It was our night together and a date with Jacob was always fun. He asked me out on a date when he came on his motorcycle to pick me up from my dance competition today. Dancing was my favorite thing to do, besides hanging out with my mom and dad and learning all the cool vampire stuff. I walked outside of the all glass double doors and saw him standing there waiting for me. I was so excited to see him that I ran and jumped on him. Jacob spun me around and then gave me a kiss.
"hey, beautiful"
"Hi" I was still kind of shy around him. Even though we have been dating for seven months.
"How did it go?"
"It was so much fun, and guesses what?
"I won" He hugged me and expressed how happy he was that I won. Jacob always knew how important dancing was and he supported me all the way. I was ready to go because I was tired and I just wanted to go and relax in his arms. But he asked me a question that broke my concentration.
"Billy is having a fancy dinner party and he wants everyone to come and get dressed up. It's going to be at this hotel called Fantasy. Would you like to go with me?" I didn't even hesitate
"YES, I would love to, I'm always ready to get dressed up, and I guess I got that from my aunt Alice"
"OK". He took my dance bag and put it across his shoulders. I hopped on to the back seat of the motorcycle put on my helmet that said across the top in big bold letters "I Love You, from Jacob". He was so sweet and it we were perfect together. When dropped me off in front of my small cottage. He said for me to be ready by eight tonight. I got off the bike and kissed him soft yet passionately. We said our goodbyes. I watched him pull off. I was in my shower remembering all that took place that day and forgot to watch my time. I jumped out the shower and looked at the gold clock on my wall it read 6:15pm.
"O.M.G". I was in a hurry known because; I had to be ready by eight. I wrapped my favorite towel around me and went into my room. I opened up my walk in closet door. The light instantly came on and I saw the perfect dress for me to wear with the matching shoes. It was an all red spaghetti strap tight fitting dress that stopped right above the knee with a slight slit in the middle. The shoes were all black with a strip of red going up the middle. I placed the outfit on my bed and put the shoes on the floor. I went back into my bathroom and put on the honey smelling body lotion that Jacob loved so much on my body and went back into my room to get dressed. It was a struggle to put on the dress but once it was on it fit me perfect in all the right places. I went back into my bathroom to put on my make up. I really didn't like cover-up, and neither did Jacob. So it was just mascara, eye shadow blush and lip-gloss. I straighten out my dark brown hair and put nice curls in it. Once my curls were bouncy I was finished with that. I ran back into my room because it was already 7:45pm and I still didn't put on my jewelry and perfume. I sat on my bed and slid my shoes onto my feet. I stood in front of my dresser and put on my gold necklace that was just right for the dress a gold diamond ring that Jacob bought me for my 24 birthday as I was reaching for my bracelet I heard my door bell ring.
"I'm coming" I shouted I quickly put on the rest of my jewelry. Sprayed the honey perfume that matched the lotion garbed my purse and walked slowly to the door. When I opened the door I heard Jacob say
"Wow, you look gorgeous" he smiled that crocked smile I loved so much.
"Thank you, and you look very handsome" I always loved to see Jacob dressed up because it brought out everything I loved about him. Jacob put his hands around my waist and pulled me close to him for a kiss. I didn't want him to stop but I new we had to leave.
"Come on beautiful'
"OK, love"
"Do you need something for arms just in case the hotel is cold?"
"No not really"
"Because as hot as you are, if I get cold I can just get closer to you and I know you will warm me right up" I winked at him and he smiled. He kissed me on my forehead and said "let's go"
I must admit whenever he kissed me on my forehead it always made me blush. I told Jacob OK, I made sure that my house was locked up and we walked along the lighted path that went all the away around my house. We reached his car and I stopped. He asked me what was wrong as he gazed into my eyes confused.
"I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and how happy and proud I am to be called your girlfriend"

He started talking to Jake and was explaining to him that I was hemorrhaging to death and he had to get the baby out immediately so that he could stitch up the blood vessel that bust because of the pain. I saw the tears start rolling down his face as well as mine. Jake shook his head.
"Doc just do what you need to do to save them both"
"It will be ok Jake I'm sure of it"
Jake walked over to me and placed his face on top of mine and cried. I rubbed the side of his head he whispered to me.
"Nessie I love you so much and I am sorry that you have to go through this"
My voice was in a whisper
"It's ok Jake I know that I will be fine and I love you too"
He backed away from me and that's when I saw my grandpa Carlisle walk over with a mask that would only fit my nose and mouth. I watched as the nurses began to prep. They took what looked like a big blue blanket and placed it across so that I couldn't see my belly anymore. I reached for Jake's hand and he took hold. Grandpa placed the mask over my face that some type of smoke coming from it.
"Ok Nessie I am going to place this over your mouth and nose and I want you to start counting backwards from 100 can you do that?"
I looked back and forth between my grandfather and Jake. I was scared, scared that I wasn't going to make it out of this situation scared that I was going to loose the baby.
I shook my head yes and that when he put the face mask over me. I was able to count to 90 until I fell asleep. I woke up holding the hand of my beautiful son. We were walking in a field and that's when I saw him shape shift for no reason. He turned into this light brown wolf he was beautiful. Jake came out of the woods in wolf form and the two of them started to run. I had to push myself to keep up. We came to the lake and they both shifted back. We were a happy family and that's when I heard the voice, the voice that spoke to me before.
"Nessie this is your family. You and Jake must protect Jake jr. at all times. There are envious people amongst you and they will try and hurt him"
I got mad why would anyone want to hurt my beloved son?
"It's not for you to figure out. You just do what you have to. He is a special child and will require special attention in order for him to grow."
I wanted to know who this voice was that was speaking to me. The voice sounded familiar. I finally mustered up enough courage to ask.
"Who are you?"
"I am your guardian. I have always been there but you never noticed. I am the one that put these obstacles in front of you so that you can grow. But I cannot tell you who I am that is something you are going to have to figure out"
As soon as the voice said that my eyes flew open. I was alive. I tried to sit up but the soreness in my stomach wouldn't let me. I looked around to find a familiar face and I did the perfect face my dad. He walked over to the bed at an easy pace.
"Hey my little angel how do you feel?"
"I'm soar but I guess I'm ok. Is my baby ok?"
"He is fine Jake is over at the nursery with him you will get to see him in a few minutes."
"Dad what went wrong? My pregnancy was fine up until this point what did I do?"
He placed his hand on top of mine and looked up at me
"It wasn't anything that you did. Your body couldn't take the pressure anymore from all the regurgitating and the pain your body just couldn't handle it anymore."
My dad kissed me on my forehead
"But you did nothing wrong."
I just stared at him
"Why? Daddy why couldn't my body take it? What's wrong with me?"
Nessie baby there is nothing wrong with you remember you are only half human you have bread something that has never been bread before you have a shape shifter vampire child. He is very unique and we have to do some test on him, nothing bad just procedure"
I got nervous test on my baby I didn't want that.
"Dad no please I don't want him to go through what I went through"
My dad placed his hand on my forehead and said
"Don't worry Nessie he will be fine, trust us"
I wanted to tell my dad about what the voice said to me about people trying to hurt Jake jr. and being jealous, but I just kept my mouth shut. That's when the door flew open and I saw him for the first time he was Jakes replica.
Hi Lilly, Tia,
that was great. It's lovley to see Jake being so caring towards both of them.
The voice in her head is very interesting - who could it be?
"I am your guardian"?
The voice sounded familiar?
Questions questions.
Best wishes
At last the baby has been born, but it seems like they still have a few challenges ahead of them! Luckily they are a strong family who cares a lot about each other. I also wonder who or what is the voice she keeps hearing? Can't wait for the next update!
Oooooohhhh !!!!!!!

The Chicago Blackhawks extended their record streak to start the season without a regulation loss Wednesday night. The 24 point franchise record stands at 21-0-3, and hawks fever is fervent in the city.
Local hockey enthusiasts are on top of the world right now, and the Blackhawks bandwagon has more room for fans than ever. That means major money for Hawks merchandise vendors in Chicago.
Just a couple of months ago it looked like the season was a loss because of a lockout, but it was resurrected when the Blackhawks came blazing out of the gate – and they have not looked back. The team has achieved one thrilling victory after another. It's almost impossible to get a ticket at a modest price, and the Madhouse on Madison is at capacity with excited fans for almost every home game.
Hats, jerseys, tee shirts and more are flying off the shelves, as they were before and after the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup in 2010.
Fans are also getting creative in the ways they pay tribute to the Hawks, especially after the snow storms hitting the area. One super-fan sculpted the head of the team's mascot out of snow in Westmont, and it looks great!

SPOKANE-- A Spokane community leader is standing up against bullying, and is working to remind kids how crucial it is to be kind.
Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich plans to share a message during a public talk about bullying Thursday at Hillyard's Northeast Youth Center.
"The way we treat each other that determines who we are. I truly believe that. The way you treat people speaks volumes about who you are as a person," said Knezovich.
The Sheriff said he wants to help kids identify, and prevent bullying.
KREM 2 News spoke to some children who said they know how important the Sheriff's message is. They said bullying is something most have experienced at some point.
Sheriff Knezovich said he doesn't like what he's seeing with adults either. "You see it at work, you see it in society. So, yeah, sadly on a daily basis."
The Sheriff believes if more mentors stand up to remind kids about the impacts of bullying it will launch a refreshing wave of change.
KREM 2 supports Rachel's Challenge, a pro-kindness program in several Inland Northwest schools.
October is bullying prevention and awareness month.

Project Name: "The Transformation of The Gant"
Project Location: Aspen, Colorado
Construction Budget: $485,000 – Category 1B (Under $500,000)
"The Transformation of The Gant" bridges the gap of a 1970's condominium resort to a first class establishment
emerging with an environmentally sensitive, socially interactive, artistically engaged environment. The result
of the site redevelopment has revealed significant economic return on investment for the homeowner
association, higher occupancy rates for the rental pool, reduction in water and energy consumption,
engagement of public art, and a design that fully engages the human senses, thus reconnecting users to the
outdoor environment. The success of Phase I resulted in the homeowner association expediting future phases
of improvements and expanding their capital improvement budget by an additional 40% to ensure the highest
quality of design, programming and implementation.
Purpose of Project
"The Transformation of The Gant" represents the often-overlooked ability which landscape architects possess to
identify opportunities to breathe life into dilapidated properties. The Gant, one of the first condominium
resorts in Aspen, was built in the 1970s. Just three blocks from Aspen Mountain and the downtown, The Gant
is known for the quality of its services to residents and guests, such as ski storage and overnight tuning,
personalized concierge, and complimentary in-town transportation.
Unfortunately, over the years the structures have become dated and the grounds have deteriorated; gardens
were overgrown and unsightly failing timber retaining walls overshadowed common areas. In addition,
competition from newer resorts was beginning to impact The Gant's popularity. To maintain their market
position, the owners decided to transform the grounds of the five-acre site by revitalizing outdoor spaces
towards tranquility and environmental sensitivity, and enhancing the property's exterior structures. Although
a mere 4,000 square feet in size, the first phase served as a catalyst for four additional phases that would soon
transform The Gant into the most successful renovation project for the community of Aspen in recent years.
Relationship to Context: A Project Immersed into its Surrounding Culture
Aspen is known worldwide for its natural beauty, culture, and recreational activities. Given this, the landscape
architects recognized that the redesign of the space needed not only to bridge the gap between 1970s
architecture and modern-day expectations, but also to provide a world-class guest experience. The design
intent was to create a landscape that encouraged users to gather and interact with the outdoor environment,
enhancing the natural setting by using native materials, and appeal to guest's senses through water, sound,
and art features. Energy-saving technology, native plantings, and conservation techniques to reduce resource
consumption provided owners with a positive financial return. A strict construction schedule was maintained
to not disrupt the availability of units for rent.
The design team began by creating a site plan, but soon found code issues and failing walls due to the age of
the site. The project altered course to address ADA compliance, health and safety issues, and new city code
requirements. The designers then turned their attention to planning new and timeless amenities that would
create a strong sense of place, optimize sun exposure and views to the mountains, as well as complement and
mirror natural elements found around Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley.
Role of Landscape Architect vs. the Role of Other Participants
The firm was originally retained by The Gant Homeowners Association (HOA) to provide an Improvements
Master Plan for the property, including inventory/analysis, concept alternatives, sketches, plans, and a
preliminary cost estimate. Upon completion of the Master Plan, the HOA decided to move forward on the
recommendations and retained the designers to prepare schematic design, design development, and
construction drawings. The scope also included construction observation, coordination with the City,
assistance in all PUD amendments, and weekly update meetings with HOA board representatives.
Phase One: The Catalyst for a New Era of The Gant
The master plan was divided into five phases, each concentrating on the surroundings of one of the buildings.
Phase One, focused on two interior courtyards, and was recognized as the areas needing the most
improvement. Designers were challenged by the quality and design of the site's existing materials. Declining
railroad tie retaining walls and crumbling concrete paving were an eye-soar for guests and residents.
Furthermore, the retaining walls took up the majority of the courtyard, keeping guests to dark-fill corridors
and virtually-unusable gathering spaces. The vision was straightforward; introduce the spaces with light and
openness, creating an elegant and artistically-designed corridor which connects the visitor to the five senses,
and relate the spaces to the larger context of Aspen and the Roaring Fork Valley.
Upon entering the interior courtyard, residents and guests are greeted with over-sized sculptures of flowers,
trees and wildlife, created by a local artist. The composition is a reflection of the mountainous landscape and
ones place within it. A total of 6 sculptures were created for the courtyards. The existing retaining walls were
removed and replaced with a series of beautiful sandstone walls that provide the backdrop for accent lighting
and perennial gardens below. The walls were also designed to provide seating for guests to congregate. Stone
similar in color and texture to nearby the Shadow Mountain rock outcroppings, establish a tie between the new
spaces and their surroundings. Water is the unifying element between the two courtyards, adding sound,
reflection and light to the space. The south courtyard water feature is a four granite spillway into an
illuminated linear pool. The north courtyard boasts a single spillway balanced between two sculptural wall
panels. Water spills from eye level over a carved granite weir to a shimmering pool below. The white noise of
the two courtyards provides ambient noise echoing through the four story building surrounding the open
An aspen forest was designed above the top retaining walls, drawing one's eye vertically and minimizing the
once-overbearing four-story buildings through the use of plant material. Shade tolerant native perennials fill
the planters, providing a punctuation of color for the interior gardens. Custom-designed zinc planters provide
accents throughout the courtyard and are filled seasonally to provide an ever-changing landscape for
residents. The overall design has elevated The Gant into a sanctuary of serenity that serves as habitat for
hummingbirds and other creatures.
Special Factors
Because the buildings were built before Aspen had a proper regulatory building department, two of
the main challenges were steering clear of utility pipes and other underground obstacles, and shoring
up building footings discovered to be only 18 inches deep.
The Gant's utility bills were bloated by an outdoor, high pressure sodium lighting system that
operated on 70 watts a piece. The project was awarded a grant by the Center for Renewable Energy
that allowed The Gant to convert all exterior site lighting to an LED system, which runs on
approximately 3.5 watts per light, significantly lowering The Gant's energy consumption.
The pre-existing planting and irrigation system wasted water. Conservation techniques, such as drip
irrigation, were introduced over most of the site, while diseased trees and noxious weeds were
removed to make way for native species. An analysis of microclimate and solar angles matched plant
materials to their appropriate niche to further encourage a healthy landscape.
This intensive development transformation maintains a higher density than would otherwise be accepted in
Aspen today. It guards the value of the original project and the integrity of the City without contributing to
urban sprawl or the discouraging trend towards developing the steep, mountainous surroundings. In addition,
the improvements have boosted The Gant's competitive edge in the marketplace and have measurably
increased the individual value of its units. Owners were at first reluctant to make the financial investment
necessary to restore the site, but have become buoyed by the success of the first phase. Based on recent sales
data, unit values have nearly tripled since the inception of the project — an average increase of $1,200,000 and
a twelve-fold return on the original investment in the project.
More importantly, however, is the legacy the new design leaves behind. Due, in part, to the era The Gant was
built, it had become energy inefficient. Introducing energy-saving lighting and drip irrigation reduces resource
consumption, thus aiding the City of Aspen at large in its commitment to the environment. Dark, uninviting
outdoor spaces were transformed into welcoming, sunlit courtyards with innovative water features, tactile
artwork, and bright, colorful flowers that invite guests and residents to celebrate the landscape around them.
And finally, by using native plants and materials and a forward-thinking concept, The Gant's outdoor spaces
have gained a timeless elegance and a park-like ambiance that will appeal to future generations.

The Louisiana Forestry Association is doing it's part to spread awareness about the importance of trees with an annual event. News Channel 5's Rachael Penton has the details.
We're used to driving through to pick up food- but how about baby trees?
"It's just a way to recognize and remember that trees are important to our state and to our economy and to our communities," says Buck Vandersteen, Executive Director of the Louisiana Forestry Association.
It's the Louisiana Forestry Association's annual seedling giveaway in celebration of Arbor Day, which is celebrated on the third Friday in January in Louisiana.
"Each date is different depending on the climate. Louisiana has ideal weather conditions right now. The soil is moist. It's cool. It's a good time," adds Vandersteen.
"The Louisiana Forestry Association has been doing the tree giveaway for about ten years now. Every year they give away one thousand Red Bud and Oak seedlings."
"A lot of people stop by and get these and it's good for people to come out and remember Arbor Day," says Frank Chandler, who stopped by to pick up a tree.
John S. Wells comes every year to get a seedling. You could say he's got a green thumb.
"I've got a couple out by the road that are about 15 or 20 feet tall that are just leaping out of the ground if you put the right water and fertilizer on them," says John S. Wells, who comes every year to get a tree.
Others come back for a second chance.
"It didn't live but it started living, you know and it finally died but I'll try my luck again this year," says Doretha Hanks, who also came to get a seedling.
As the seedlings become trees, the forestry association is spreading awareness about the importance of forestry and helping to grow memories.
"It's really kind of a fun thing over time to see how big that tree gets and the kids and family remember well I planted that several years ago and look how big it is today," adds Vandersteen.
The seedlings passed out today were donated to the forestry association by Arborgen Nursery.
