Emily Schuman's Modern Rustic Home
House Tour
Name: Emily Schuman, Geoffrey Fuller and their kitty Luna
Location: Carthay Square — Los Angeles, California
Size: 1,800 square feet (3 Bedrooms + 2 Bathroms)
Years lived in: 4 months — rent
Emily and her fiance Geoffrey, just recently moved into their new home in Carthay Square. Known for her popular fashion and lifestyle blog Cupcakes and Cashmere, Emily's home is just what you'd expect — it's warm, rich with color and ultra stylish. Only a place that houses such a feminine and yet modern office, could attribute such great inspiration to the blogosphere!
Emily began her career at Condè Nast, working for both Teen Vogue and Domino magazines (in sales). More recently in the past couple of years she designed a bag in collaboration with Coach, and styled and modeled for Forever 21. Last year she won "Best Fashion Blog" in 2010's Bloggies and has been nominated again this year. With a blog that gets more than 6.3 million page views a month, she keeps a full time schedule bringing us click after click of lovely ideas in the world of fashion, food and lifestyle.
Geoffrey and Emily only moved into their new home four months ago — just in time to get engaged this past December. Their spacious apartment offers ample room for dinner parties, cocktail soirees and Emily's custom office. The office is decorated in sleek white lacquer, accented in gold, with "unapolgetically pink" walls and a gifted pair of Art Deco-inspired Louboutins. Their living room is stacked high with books and an abundance of art and collectibles. Also I found it quite charming that they have both a formal dining room and a breakfast nook. They note one of the challenges they faced was trying to decorate both masculine and feminine — which I believe they achieved very nicely. With one the guest room and bathroom still undergoing renovation, their new home is a place where friends and family to come stay a while.
On a quick side note, while photographing the fashionista in her office, she told me she wore pink for the photoshoot — "because it's for Valentines Day". So cute! Enjoy!
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Modern rustic with a vintage twist. We spend a lot of time at home, so it's really important that our place reflects both of our styles. The living room, with the exposed beams, old fireplace, built-in bookshelves and flat screen TV, has a very masculine feel; like an old study you'd have seen years ago. On the other hand, my office has a decidedly feminine vibe, with unapologetically pink walls, a red settee and a clothing rack filled with my current favorite finds. I think the balance is what makes our place feel like home and why we spend so much time here!
Inspiration: I look for inspiration everywhere, but most frequently at the Melrose Trading Post flea market. I go most Sundays, with a giant cup of coffee, and just walk through the aisles to see what inspires me. I've found all sorts of hidden gems there, like the Hellenic bust in our entryway, the gold mirror in my office and my collection of vintage globes. I like knowing that I'm finding little treasures for our place that feel unique and special and give each room character.
Favorite Element: The antique science cart that we transformed into our bar. It's a great piece on its own, but it looks even better when its filled with beautiful bottles and glassware. It's such an unexpected piece, with its rusty yellow coloring, but it adds such great dimension to our dining room. Plus, it's one of the first things you see when people come over, so it's customary for our friends to request a cocktail pretty much upon their arrival.
Biggest Challenge: The hallway. It's really really long. In fact, when we first moved in, we considered hosting a bowling night because it could easily double as an alley. My biggest complaint is that it's going to take a really long time until it feels complete. We've bought some art, but until we've really got a good collection going, anything that we put up is going to look sparse in that large space.
What Friends Say: It's like their home away from home. I think our friends were just as relieved as we were to find a bigger space. Since we entertain a lot, it was important to find a place that accommodated a big group and made people feel like they were at home, the minute they walked in the door.
Biggest Embarrassment: The chandelier in the dining room. It has a terrible 80's feel, which really doesn't fit in our place, especially with the magenta/frosted glass. I can't wait until I find a replacement that complements our table and adds a beautiful glowing light for when we host dinner parties.
Proudest DIY: Though it wasn't exactly a DIY, we did have our dining room table custom made, for practically nothing. My fiance and I went to a lumber yard and picked out a bunch of reclaimed wood and had it made especially for us. The size and shape is just what we wanted and there are all of these imperfections that make it feel very rustic and organic. We also had a bench made, which adds a really fun element anytime you sit down at the table…it just feels relaxed and carefree, which I love.
Biggest Indulgence: Our charcoal gray sofa and chair. I found them at Z Gallerie and while I'm usually not a fan of things matching, they just went together too perfectly not to buy them both. They were expensive, but so worth the investment. Since we have a big living room, we needed a pretty sizable sofa and one that people weren't afraid to sit on. While I love the idea of a white couch, it's just not reasonable, given our propensity to watch movies with a pint of Haagen Dazs between us.
Best Advice: Always keep your place within ten minutes of being "guest ready." Our place isn't perpetually immaculate, but we try to make sure that it's never to the point that it takes more than a few minutes to pull it together for company. This means not leaving our stuff around, keeping the kitchen stocked with a few basics (cheese, crackers, olives) and having a full bar.

love the closet!!
but side note if I see another keep calm and carry own print im gonna barf
Personally I like seeing the people whose home I'm viewing because it shows a little about how their lifestyle is reflected in the home, and vv. Basically I like a face to go with the house.
That said, I think that it's also a tactic to show that real actual humans live in the home, and it is supposed to deter nasty remarks:-)
I love their eclectic style! That dining room table is amazing!
Emily's blog was one of the first blogs I ever came across...her fashion sense is pretty awesome and now I'd have to say her interior styling is equally amazing!! Love that dining room table!
Thanks for sharing this...the perfect valentine's home tour!
shoes on a table = BAD LUCK (just an FYI)
Also, I check out your blog most every day and I just wish you would update more than once a day. I love your style!
This is a very elegant house (great sense of detail).
(Sexy, well-dressed couple too!)
Cute house and while I love C & C, I'm just amazed Emily does this for a living and doesn't update her blog more often. It's crazy.
Cute house--nice vintage feel. I would love to see more artwork, though. I can understand wanting to get stuff you love, but I think the walls look really bare, and there's nothing wrong with placeholders!
I would like to know the source of the bed clothes in the guest room! Love the stripes and pillow cases!
I really love the pink office with the tassle garland. What a great place to go to work every day.
Wow. I wonder what it would be like to have close to no belongings...
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous... love the mix of colours, textures and shapes. And where oh where is that lovely cake stand from? I want it!! I also want one of your globes - if I had one I would put it within reach where I could spin it and dream... they seem so sad and neglected up there on that bookcase shelf. Really fab place though.
Each room flows nicely together. I'm not a huge fan of pink on the wall, but it's surprisingly nice in your office. Good work!
love the keep calm poster. LOVE. I even got a TATTOO on my wrist that says KEEP CALM (om symbol) CARRY ON. THATS how much I love it. LOL everyone else here bashes it.
This is such a cute place.... I dream of the day my house will be so pulled together and "ten minute to company" ready- but with 3 cats, 2 large dogs, and 2 small kids, and me being the only adult....... it might not happen anytime soon. ;)
Love her website (agree, though, more updates necessary) and I absolutely love her apartment. She really does have great style sense and it helps that her photographer fiance is equally as talented, helping that come across in photos (a lot more difficult than one might think).
Love the pink walls, so luscious. What color and brand of paint is that? Also, love the poufs in the living room, the white mirror in the entry way, the tiled floor in the bathroom and the Anthropologie bowls in the kitchen. It's all in the details.
Sorry, just realized the paint color is listed above!
I love the exposed beams in the living room. Props for not painting them grey ala Young House Love.
doesn't look like they have completely moved in yet...
this couple/apartment is so unnervingly attractive that i feel like i shouldn't be viewing this House Tour on my work computer..
this post is now my Valentine.
This is less home related but still a design interest... Where did Geoffrey buy his glasses? I need a new pair and really like those!
Yes, definitely needs nice art --- a few large standout paintings. Maybe a little less TV...
that orange "bar" cart puts mine to shame...
Needs more stuff on the walls. The dining table bench does not look good nor would it be comfortable. Both the Keep Calm and the regional map of words are so overdone. I am glad that they don't have some sort of a deer head on the wall though.
Cool house!! Great vibe you have going on there! Thanks for sharing. Now...I am off to check out your blog....
Love! Thanks for sharing.
love your industrial bar cart with TWO bottles of Hendricks! and one of my biggest pet peeves is the fake menu/grocery list on the wall, however, you actually have nice handwriting so ill let it slide.
i reaaallyy miss the art on the walls though.
Love your place! Amazing. More importantly I am DYING over those boots. I have to know where they came from....
I dunno. I would rather have awesome clothes and shoes than dedicated art, by which I mean pretty things that do not serve an additional function. Clothes can make me feel happy looking at them as well as covering me up! It is a good deal! Also they have lots of mirrors hanging, where I assume some people would want art. As people have already commented on the attractiveness of the couple.... ;p
I approve of your shoeless ways, Geoffrey! And I really the like windows in the bedrooms. Do windows... often open inwards, actually?
Such a beautiful home and so pulled together after only four months. I love the office.
I wish there were a pop of hot pink or orange in the living room. Would you consider spray painting the greyhound statute? I think it would make a great pop against the white fireplace.
I really like the accent colors but I'm so with tinypuppy on the Keep Calm print...
Your friends are not requesting cocktails because of your bar cart, love (though it is adorable), they're asking because that bar reads like a who's who of alcoholic greatness. I'll have a Hendrick's and tonic with a slice of cucumber please!
First post I've ever seen at AT where the front page picture is of the couple and not the space. ;)
I'm not sure why, but I like this apartment.
AT should just change their name to Keep Calm and Carry On. @Tim B - yes they do also have some sort of deer head - check the wide shot of her office.
Cute place - I like that it is not perfect and it definitely looks like people live here - gorgeous people, but gorgeous human people. I can't stand that West Coast places have such flimsy moulding - I feel like every room would pop so much more if there were nicer moulding around the doors and windows.
The walls do feel bare but if you've been there only 4 months I'm assuming you're taking your time finding just the right art, it's good not to rush these things. Love the chest of drawers in the bathroom...it's the perfect storage solution for everything you'd ever need in there. I've only been able to do that in one living situation and I pine for the days when I can do it again. Great place, comfortable, bright and cheerful!
I am absolutely in love with Emily and Geoff's apartment. So unbelievably gorgeous!
House, nice. Boots- AMAZING. Please tell me where you found those.
I'm with Ornch and tands. Those boots are BEAUTIFUL. Nice place, too.
The pink room seems a bit bland until you get a gander of that incredible red settee - awesome pop of color. I love the bar cart - I saved a picture of it for future inspiration as I've always wanted one. And I'm super impressed that they had their dining room table/bench made, it looks great.
As for the artwork, it's not always easy for people to find art that means something to them and that they love. And that is the only type of artwork that should grace a home's walls, so I think it's admirable that they're waiting and not just hanging meaningless fillers.
chanel shoes= SWOON. And I like the place, too.
i sighed when i saw the first photo of the bedroom with that lushous grey paint, white trim and giant casement windows. then, there was a cat!
so lovely and serene. other than too much gold for my taste, i love their house.
There are just too many things about Emily's house that I love. The styling is superb! The rustic dining table and her pretty pink office are my favorites.
I want (in no particular order):
- the vintage bar cart in the dining room
- the pink tiled floor in the bathroom
- Emily's pink office
- all of Emily's shoes
- all of Emily's big funky rings
- all of Emily's bags
- all of Emily's clothes
- actually, everything in Emily's closet
Love that antler lamp on the white desk in her office. Fab.
My favorite piece is the red settee! It's perfect! I really love the office in general. And the dining room table is pretty much exactly what I want, never occurred to me to get it made custom or do it myself. I also love the bedding, exactly what I've been looking for!
I really like the feel of the entrance with the textured walls. Usually textures is something that is immediately removed and instead they really worked it to their advantage.
I love Emily's blog and I love many, many elements about this house, especially, as has been mentioned, the dining room table; the office; the closet; etc. But I agree with some of the others who questioned the house tour. I'd love to see this place featured again when it's a bit more complete.
I disagree that she should update more, though. She posts five days a week. They are short posts, but coming up with five new topics a week...that's a lot, no?
I love how minimally they live, and their style is really fun. My favorite things are the dining room table and the SF Ork poster. I hope to get a Chicago one some day.
This home feels very fresh and airy to me, and though it is more to the architect's credit than the residents', the windows are GORGEOUS. Those three things: fresh/airy/good windows are what "makes" any home, in my opinion. Nice.
The dining room is lovely and I love the bedroom with its gorgeous windows! I'm also a fan of Emily's blog, she has great taste!
Any word yet on where Emily got the boots she is sportin' in the photo? I keep checking... and hoping...
Oh yeah, and nice place too, ya'll! But back to the boots...
On a typical (weekday) morning, before even stepping foot out of bed, I grab my Macbook and head straight to Emily's blog. I just feel like she embodies everything I love! It's so nice to finally see her home in more detail... and it's perfect! I swoon at the wood beams and the little architectural details.
Her boots are VPL. They are called the cut-off boots.
I have apartment envy! Love it.
Structurally, this is a beautiful apartment. However, I feel like maybe just the office should have been featured. I agree with everyone else, the rest of the house looks a little unfinished (understandably), and the decorations they do have reflect more their ability to spend money on trendy items (the posters, the animal shot glasses, the $200 piggy bank) than they do a real sense of decorating style. Also, I agree with the above commenter on the lack of items in the house that seem to reflect Geoffrey.
I am in love with that kitchen. IN LOVE. I just saw a Craftsman at an open house this past weekend with hex tile countertops and the original cabinets, just like this one, and I wanted to immediately put our house on the market and move in. I could spend ours in this one, too.
The rest of the house is very nice, too.
The Pelican Grey walls in the master bedroom are delicious. What a beautiful what-exactly-is-that-color gray. The flatscreen television is surprisingly high. That's like sports bar height.
I love how they use trays to organize their flotsam. Using bowls and plates within the tray is very clever.
But people put things in their home because they love them, trends be damned! And can't you just feel when it's done out of love and not to follow a trend? Or at least pretend you do? The regional flair and Keep Calm seems totally organic to me.
I love the antler lamp in the office too! My favorite room is the living room. I like how it melds rustic and traditional touches (bookcases, ceiling beams) with more modern and functional things (big TV, iPod speakers). It's nice to see a room that's stylish but also comfortable -- some place you can tell real people actually enjoy spending time.
I moved four months ago too, and their space is way more put together than mine. Bravo!
So strange that people keep saying it seems empty and like they "haven't fully moved in yet." Really? I thought the place was completely filled out. I hate clutter and there is no clutter here. They have a stocked kitchen, a gorgeous table, plenty of places to sit, lay down, relax, a bunch if books, an amazing bar, an inspired work space. What more could they want or need? Or are the haters just looking for a wall-art-collage? Ha!
I think it's important to a) be tactful when you open your mouth with opinions about someones home b) consdier that not everyone designs or decorates their home with an interior designers tastes, eyes or view of what's right in a home c) peoples homes reflect what they want other people to see and know about them...and most importantly what they love. I'm kind of turned off by all the readers who have flooded these good peoples homes with negative input. NOT to be confused with constructive criticism (which is often appreciated) but I am talking about verging on slander of the person and their home. Emily's home is not the first home where people have written rude and hateful things... it's been seen in several homes. And why I ask you to follow the golden rule of "if you don't have anything nice to say... then don't say it at all" I must ask all you negative commenters...Where is your house???
As a representative of Apartment Therapy... I feel you all need to be reminded of the COMMENT POLICY:
We are a community that seeks to help people make their homes more beautiful, healthy, and organized. We believe that graciousness and courtesy are key elements of a beautiful home and therefore important elements of this conversation. Many people have opened up their private homes so we can learn and be inspired, and our rules for comments and discussions honor this sharing.
Our four rules for comments:
1. Be honest and fair, yet gracious.
2. No ad hominem attacks or gratuitous meanness.
3. Stay on topic.
4. Add value, don't take it away.
Comments must reflect the subject under discussion. Do not use the comment threads purely to promote your own site, product, or business.
I'm not talking about censoring opinions. I'm talking about using some tact. About graciousness. About having constructive criticism...not just for Emily's house... I mean anyone's home. Not every home will warrant the same love or hate... but I really think our readers/commenters need to learn how to use their voice more tastefully. Sometimes people straight up slander the home owners, which is completely un called for.
Oh I totally agree. I see people absolutely loving some of the same trends over and over, and though they aren't my style... I may comment that I love something else in the house tour- rather than draw negative attention to something in someones home...where the homeowners obviously loved it enough to show it...
I absolutely agree we all need to adhere to some constructive criticism. I just mean the really tactless and rude comments that people just seem to spout out with any real consideration.
The more I see the Keep Calm poster (more times than I can count on ten fingers and ten toes), the more I like it. I particularly like how people put their own spin on it. And I like the colors. I like it in black, because it makes a bold graphic statement; I like it in pink because it makes a girlie graphic statement. I like how it makes any room seem a little more casual and a lot more fun. And it feels young. No matter how old you are, young is good. Not only that, decorating doesn't have to be so serious! "Cliche"? That's a big serious word for a fun little pop of color with an interesting history and a nice sentiment.
I think I might get one.
The original tiles are the highlight of this house for me. That's my dream kitchen -- the tiles on the walls, counters, and floors. Much more fun and cozy than the modern stainless steel & granite numbers (I have one of those). The beams in the living room are awesome, too. Good bones, good bones.
Thank you, Beth, for making your presence known. I wonder sometimes whether AT is actually keeping up with the comments that readers are giving and whether you've considered taking some repeat offenders to task. If you're going to bother having a policy, you really should find a way to enforce it other than deleting choice comments.
@Hollywood Vision- you are definitely right about the overwrought excitement over the basic pillow and cound on this site. But I have to say- yes, I would shop at Target for my art. Sure,I have shopped at private studios and paid hundreds of dollars for a piece, or had a custom framing done of a poster from AllPosters.com. The framed ABC letterpress picture in my children's room from our local Target is no less valuable to the aesthetic of our home than anything else I've chosen for it.
There is something to be said for the fact that what strikes one person as ordinary, uninspiring, or overdone may be just what another person was looking for to bring their vision together. Period.
And that should be "couch", not "cound", of course!
Um...bump - Does anyone know where the guest room pillow shams and comforter/cover come from?
Every entry ends up becoming a fight about how to comment. Let people express their opinions. Express yours tactfully. Why so serious?
Emily-I am looking around for a new front door and was wondering if you know anything about yours. If it is new could you tell me where it was purchased or what brand it is? Thank you : )
it is okay..
I would really love to see a tour of Emily's home 10 or 15 years from now. I think that she has a lot of potential which is not necessarily reflected in this current house tour.
Love the dining table and some of the vintage pieces, and the pink office is especially lovely. It's obvious that this couple has great taste - and that the apartment has a lot of unrealized potential. Clearly not yet ready for a full house tour. But why the excessive censoring? If you open your home to a feature like this, you should be prepared for a variety of opinions. It's actually kind of funny that the photographer's posts weren't deleted; now she looks like she's having a raving argument. With herself.
I want to be friends with @hollywoodvisions.
It does take a little creativity to critique something without coming off as overly biased, antagonistic or rude. Diplomacy is an art.
Maybe there are some posting hints in the comment policy?
Like every homeowner who showcases their home on AT, I too commend this couple--takes guts (!). In my humble opinion, I think that the entry way mirrors conflict with each other. Gold and white, not feeling it...gold table...not my favorite.
Love the gray walls in the bedrom and how can you not adore the exposed wood beams and arched doorways? Lucky architectural details!
I didn't know her fiance was a photographer. Why not hang some of his photos on the walls?
So beautiful! I love how their home is 'clean' without feeling austere. Warmth and personality everywhere without the clutter. I adore her blog as well :)
i wish we could see the progression of the house. and i love the keep calm poster. i think people who hate on a keep calm poster must be neurotic awful messes themselves. you guys are such an adorable couple. the best of luck to you. hope to see you more here on AT!
I love it, especially the office. I also like the clothing rack out in the open.
Resource for luggage racks in guest room please?
Such a nice mix of texture and color. (I went back for a 2nd look just to oogle your shoes)
You seem to have found the nice half way point between too much and how to edit the things you love. Thanks for the peek into your home.
This seems like a really good tour of an apartment to rent, in that the real star of the show is the architecture, not the design the couple brought to the space. I agree with others who have said that perhaps the tour was a bit premature -- and I'm wondering if perhaps the couple wasn't a bit too eager to show off their space, rather than spending some quality time living in it. There are some lovely elements here and there that show a good eye for design (or, more likely, a good sense of how to copy other people's good design) that make me think they could have a great space in a couple of years. Overall, though, it doesn't show a whole lot of originality.
Oh, and last but not least, the curtains in the dining room should have been opened before the photos were taken. As is, they just look cheap and sad and don't do much to accentuate the windows (which, based on the rest of the house, I'm guessing are divine). They would have added a nice bit of texture and pattern if they'd been opened.
So amazing blog i like your post.

Yesterday, Apple has officially launched iOS 8, and among the new features that it brings is the ability to install third-party keyboards that work on a system wide basis. This feature has been announced before, so most of the major keyboard makers were prepared for the launch, getting ready iOS 8 versions of their keyboards into the iOS App Store.
Now, just one day after launch, three of these keyboards, including Fleksy, SwiftKey and Swype, are now some of the most downloaded paid and free iOS app in the U.S. and other countries. Paid keyboards Swype and Fleksy managed to climb to the top two spots in the U.S. paid iOS app chart.
Popular games such as Minecraft Pocket Edition and Five Nights at Freddy's have lost the top position to third-party keyboard apps. Swiftkey jumped to the number one spot in the free chart, ruling the now freemium and very popular 1Password password manager and the recently launched Amazing Thief game. Even the Facebook Messenger app could not resist to the millions of users looking to get the app on their iDevices.
These three keyboards and more are available to all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners running iOS 8. SwiftKey is available for free from the iOS App Store, while Fleksy costs $1.99 and Swype is 99 cents. Follow the links from below to download them from the iTunes Store.

Siri, Apple's voice assistant, has gotten smarter with iOS 8 and it can now identify songs played on any device. Thus, Apple device owners who've upgraded to iOS 8 can now ask Siri the name for songs played on the radio or anywhere else.
This isn't exactly a novel feature, as Siri has long been able to identify a song being played on the same device. However, with the official release of iOS 8, Siri's musical abilities have been improved. Now, you can play a song on a different device, on the radio, on a CD, or on some other source, and it will be able to name that tune for you.
Once you get iOS 8, you will just need to ask Siri the question: "What song is this?" when the song is playing. Siri will respond by saying: "Let me listen." and depending on how far along you are in the track, it will probably take at least a few seconds to recognize it. After that, it will respond by saying something like "I can name that tune."
Yes, this sounds exactly like Shazam and that's because Apple has teamed up with Shazam to integrate the app's capabilities directly into Siri. Here's what Shazam said on a new support page:
"With the release of iOS 8, the magic and convenience of Shazam is now fully integrated into Siri. To know the details of the music/media around you, open Siri, and ask a question..."
Lance Whitney from Cnet has tested this feature, and here's what he said:

Polygon reports today that 2K Sports is bringing NHL 2K back to mobile devices, four years on from when the game was retired.
The hockey game will arrive on mobile devices some time this fall, and will cost $7.99.
2K Sports's other mobile sports franchises include NBA and WWE, both of which are doing very well, which doubtless influenced the company wanting to bring another of its legendary sporting franchises back to iOS.

The world of cyber-security just got better for iOS 8 users. Agile Bits, the creators of the popular 1Password app and service just made their remarkable software FREE to new users on iOS. On top of that, previous users of the v4 of the software get a free upgrade to the Pro version.
For those unfamiliar with the software, 1Password basically lets you securely store your important data and passwords, and can automatically log you into websites with a single button. With 1Password, you no longer need to remember your username, password, or even the website address.
The new pricing model is not all though. This newest version also includes some added functionality with iOS 8, including the ability to work with Apple's Touch ID fingerprint sensor! Awesome!
Here's a quick breakdown of the rest of the cool new 1Password features for iOS 8:

These days, more and more Internet users are getting concerned with their privacy and how their intimacy is being protected. Apple is also well aware of that and that's why it has recently changed its privacy measures, announcing new changes that will please consumers.
Tim Cook has revealed that neither Apple nor the government can see any of your personal information if you have a passcode enabled on devices running the new OS. Here's what Apple's boss said:
"Our business model is very straightforward: We sell great products. We don't build a profile based on your e-mail content or web browsing habits to sell to advertisers. We don't 'monetize' the information you store on your iPhone or in iCloud. And we don't read your e-mail or your messages to get information to market to you. Our software and services are designed to make our devices better. Plain and simple."
Apple's new privacy page details how it protects your data from prying eyes, so if you're using a device running iOS 8 and have a passcode activated, Apple and the government can't see any of the data behind the passcode. Even if the police would require Apple to do that, the company just won't be able to do it. Cook also added the following:
"We have never worked with any government agency from any country to create a backdoor in any of our products or services. We have also never allowed access to our servers. And we never will."
He also mentioned how much Apple is committed to protecting users' privacy:
"Our commitment to protecting your privacy comes from a deep respect for our customers. We know that your trust doesn't come easy. That's why we have and always will work as hard as we can to earn and keep it."

Steve Jobs is widely believe to be one of the biggest innovators of all time, but few now that he was actually an art major in college. Thus, despite working with figure and facts, as several interviews have revealed, he was actually a very creative person. And this is apparently something that he wanted to pass on to his kids.
In a previous interview, Steve Jobs responded to tech reporter Nick Bilton's question about whether his children love the iPad 2. The late Apple CEO replied the following
"They haven't used it. We limit how much technology our kids use at home."
Apparently, Steve Jobs wanted his three children to develop a love for creative expression, and that's why he and his wife have set limits to technology use. Chriss Street from BreitBart.com explains quite nicely why Jobs and others have decided to take this approach in their education:

September has been the month when Apple has announced its much-awaited iPhone 6 and the bigger iPhone 6 Plus. And now it seems that October will be the month when the company will announce the new line of its next iPad tablets. According to multiple publications, the company's next major product unveiling is expected to take place around mid-to-late October.

How sad it is to ride past our courthouse and see the charred remains of the roof and know there must be additional damage within. It is another example of how sick some people have become to try and destroy something that means so much to so many.
I would like to respond to Bobby Payne's column, "Do your research before choosing next president," in the Aug. 15 edition of The Lancaster News.
She was understandably proud of her son. I can appreciate that. She has every right to be.
I am somewhat confused by her anger at Sen. Barack Obama.
She said she thought it was ironic that at the same time her son was leaving to defend America a prospective presidential candidate felt he had to travel halfway around the world to gain support of Germans to become our president.
Indian Land High School's Warrior Stadium takes center stage tonight.
The IL arena will serve as host for the annual Founders Federal Credit Union Kickoff Classic.
In addition to Founders, The Lancaster News and Carolina Gateway serve as media sponsors for the game.
All four county teams will be involved in the jamboree, which likely will draw the largest crowd to ever see an athletic event at the county's smallest high school.
It's hard to believe that summer is over for county schoolchildren. While autumn doesn't officially arrive until next month, tomorrow morning thousands of Lancaster County students will say goodbye to the carefree days of summer and return to the classrooms.
Last week, teachers began getting their rooms ready for their new students. Their planning and preparation will pay off as they welcome the students back. Many students will be sporting new clothes and shoes and carrying new lunch boxes and backpacks full of new school supplies.
When I turned on the TV and saw our beautiful county courthouse on fire, I thought I was watching Detroit burn like we've seen in the past when people get angry at the justice system or law enforcement. But I never thought I'd see that here. The arsonist cannot be from here. Our community has too much pride and love for our town and community.
I would like to respond to Nancy Jones' letter "Book sense great, but experience gets job done" in the Aug. 17 edition of The Lancaster News. Jones was referring to a letter written by Shemika Caldwell. Caldwell said education was more important than work experience and cited the city's administrator position as an example.
In that same edition was a picture of my graduating class from the Annie Mae Dream Center program. There were students and instructors in the class. The instructors were identified as students. Caldwell was one of my instructors.
Lancaster County Courthouse holds a lot of memories for a lot of people. But if someone could get in there that easy, what would have kept a terrorist from entering and putting a bomb in there and blowing it up during court and killing a lot of people. Someone had a lot of nerve.
Security should have been better, even a guard could have been posted.
A lot of lives could have been lost if a terrorist had gotten in and planted a bomb.
I just returned from out-of-town, to learn that Jack Harper passed away Saturday night.
So much of Lancaster's commercial district has disappeared and unfortunately, those who were so vital, are now passing from the scene also.
Jack was a life long friend who, at one time, operated a shoe store at Lancaster Square.
Prior to that, he was with Bailey-Rowell on Main Street. Jack outfitted many children and probably dyed more wedding shoes than anyone else. He was a fixture in the uptown business community.

New Gambian Garden
Due to all the new buildings popping up here and there, our Gambian Garden has been moved and ungraded!
It is now sited in the old 'Walk and Talk' garden between the school and the big playground. There will be decking, raised flower beds and a covered gazebo. As you can see from the photos below it's going to be a new exciting place to chill at break times and host lessons.
Teddies for The Gambia
Each year some teachers visit The Soma School in The Gambia. We have been linked with them for over 12 years and we have learnt so much from them.
Last year we took 110 knitted teddies with us, each one attached to a letter from a year 3 pupil. They were given to Soma school pupils and they wrote a letter back to our children about themselves. It worked so well we have decided to do it again this year.
Janet, the lady that knitted many of last years teddies and 85 of this years teddies, visited Year 3 to show them how she knits them. It takes her nearly 4 hours to make one teddy. Here are some of last years teddies and some thank you cards from 3HS to Janet.
Peace One Day
You may already know that Peace One Day led the initiative to establish the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, unanimously adopted by United Nations member states as 21 September – Peace Day. You may also know that they then proved that the day could work in areas of conflict, most notably in Afghanistan, where Peace Day agreements have led to the vaccination against polio of 4.5 million children in recent years.
These successes and many others led Jeremy to launch the Global Truce 2012 campaign: the largest global reduction of violence, and the largest ever gathering of individuals in the name of peace on one day – Peace Day 21 September 2012.
At All Saints we thought about peace worldwide and in our own lives, and what we could do to help. We wrote prayers and promises, just a small contribution but if everyone did it .......

The two-pronged stainless steel 6" snail/cocktail/seafood fork (shown on the right) is perfect for either picking a snail out of its shell or for spearing the snail from a snail plate.
The 6-1/2" stainless steel snail tong (shown on the left) allows the escargot fan to clamp onto the snail's shell. Being securely held, the snail can then be retrieved easily using the snail fork. Price shown is for the snail fork.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for June 11, 2013 at 4:40 am. Grains futures are higher on short covering ahead of tomorrow's Supply and Demand report. USDA put corn planting progress at 95% which was higher than trade estimates. The states of IA, MO, ND and WI are well behind normal and rain continues to inundate these areas. Producers are struggling with their options. There will be corn planted in some areas as livestock producers need feed. Overall, corn conditions improved by 2% in the G/E category. Soybean planting progress improved by 14% to 71% complete. Soybean traders are expecting more acres will shift from corn to soybeans. However, before we get the actual planted acreage numbers on June 28, the USDA will release monthly supply and demand estimates on Wednesday morning at 11:00 am. Our research suggests the USDA typically does not change the planted acreage or yield for corn or soybeans on the June S+D Report. Farmers in Argentina are expected to go on strike today. The Ukrainian Ag Minister says they are expected to increase grain exports this marketing year. Chinese markets are on holiday until Wednesday. Bull spreads are being supported on tight cash grain supplies. There were no cattle deliveries against the June Live Cattle contract. The oldest date was August 3, 2012. Boxed beef values rebounded on Monday with choice up 1.59 and select up .07. Hog markets have gone parabolic on technical and fund buying. The purchase of Smithfield by a Chinese company has traders expecting big things when it comes to pork exports. We suggest proceeding with caution at these levels. Thanks for participating in the survey on Monday Wake-Up-Call. See the results below.
Markets as of 4:40 AM

New Xbox 360 bundles coming this holiday, starting at $250
Sure, Xbox One is coming out this holiday season. But not everyone will be buying next-gen hardware. Microsoft has announced its holiday lineup for Xbox 360. These bundles don't drop the price on Microsoft's current-gen offering. Instead, they simply bundle more stuff.
Starting October 13, you'll be able to pick up two bundles for $249.99 each. The 4GB Kinect Holiday Value Bundle includes Kinect Sports: Season Two, Kinect Adventures, and one month of Xbox Live Gold. The 250GB Holiday Value Bundle includes Halo 4, Tomb Raider, and one month of Xbox Live Gold.
For $349.99, you'll be able to get Microsoft's big 250GB Kinect Holiday Value Bundle, which includes Kinect Sports: Season Two, Kinect Adventures, and Forza Horizon.
The MSRP for the standard 250GB Xbox 360 remains $249.99, making these bundles a better deal. However, if you're on the market for a current-gen system, perhaps it would be best to wait for Black Friday.

SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The transition is underway at the Sheboygan City Hall following Mike Vandersteen's election as Sheboygan mayor last week. Vandersteen, who defeated Mayor Terry Van Akkeren by 197 votes, was on Sheboygan's Morning News on Monday. He said he was to meet with Van Akkeren on Monday afternoon to begin the process. Vandersteen will be sworn in as the new mayor when the council meets to re-organize on Tuesday. He said one of the first things he will be doing is visiting each city department to familiarize himself with their concerns and goals. Vandersteen said he wants to become more involved in economic development, he would like to see the city get rid of its non-attainment designation in air quality, which he says is an impediment to the business community, and he feels the neighborhood associations are helpful and should continue.
Note: The entire interview from Sheboygan's Morning News is attached above.

Man Of Steel Henry Cavill Steps Out With Former MMA Fighter Gina Carano
Hot couple alert!
"Haywire" actress Gina Carano had a stunning accessory on her arm at the Critic's Choice Awards on Thursday night – Henry Cavill.
The appearance marks the red carpet debut for the 30-year-old former MMA fighter (who was nominated for Best Actress in an Action Movie at the Santa Monica, Calif., award show) and the "Man of Steel" hunk, 29, who have been spotted together multiple times since the fall.
The sexy new pairing adds fuel to online rumors claiming Gina may be making a cameo as Wonder Woman in Zack Snyder's upcoming Superman reboot (set to hit theaters on June 14).
Henry was formerly engaged to British show jumper Ellen Whitaker (he proposed in May 2011), but the couple quietly split up the following spring.

A continuing series on MyFoxTampaBay.com, featuring some of the Tampa Bay area's best golf courses.
Wentworth Golf Club
Sister to the nearby Crescent Oaks, Wentworth Golf Club is perhaps the finest course open to the public in Tarpon Springs. It was designed by Steve Smyers, who also redesigned the famous Isleworth Country Club (Google "Tiger Woods Iselworth").
Its castle-style clubhouse and natural landscape give Wentworth an authentic European feel. Play a few rounds and you're likely to catch a wild boar or deer on the grounds, patrons say.
At 6,459 yards from the back tees, it is demanding, but a fair challenge for amateur golfers.
The par-5 8th is certainly one of the best par-5's in this area – a 510-yard dogleg right that's featured by a large tree atop a bunker. The setup creates for a daunting approach.
The scenic par-3 12th is played entirely over water, and the intimidating par-4 11th highlights Smyers' creativity with fairway bunkers.
Check out the gallery, and for more, visit http://wentworthgolfclub.org/

Time to Back Away From Oil
Photo: istockphoto.com
Renewable energy must become the future for Hawaii. Just look at the facts: 89 percent of our energy is imported in oil of which 92 percent comes from Asia and the Middle East. This means Hawaii dollars are flowing out of the state for oil. Renewable energy keeps cash here.
Solar, geothermal and wind create local construction jobs, local maintenance jobs and spur new technology sectors. These projects use lands that have been uncommercialized, such as the First Wind (project) on Kaheawa valley ridge, Hawaii's own Sopogy and their Keahole Solar Farm in a black lava field or the Ormat Puna Geothermal in a tropical rain forest, which has been operating for over 15 years.
We should absolutely give these kinds of projects priority over building another high-rise condo in Kakaako. One last consideration: The most recent blackout on Oahu. This was due to oil-fired generators going down in a conventional power plant. One unit trips, triggering a chain event that left the Island and our President-elect in the dark for over 10 hours. If the grid was supported by a portfolio of renewables, it could be better able to keep the lights on for certain key-need facilities like the airport.

Married TV Star Caught Cheating
Brothers And Sisters star and married dad Balthazar Getty kisses British actress Sienna Miller on vacation.
Following in the tradition of a long line of other married celeb cheaters (see gallery below), Getty was snapped by the paps in this lip lock with Miller, 26, during a romantic getaway on the Amalfi Coast of Italy. Getty, 33, is a married father of four and heir to his family's oil fortune.
See other famous cheaters and their scandals from over the years...
See Also:
Funny how not too long ago, Sienna was cheated on by Jude Law…and now she's returning the favor to someone else?
I just don't get how some people think and let's NOT even talk of Getty throwing his family away…I hope his kids DO confront him!
Is there anyone left in Holywood that this chick hasn't banged? It seems everytime I hear her name, she's with someone else's man… She caused the split in Sean Penn's, Balthazar Getty, Jude Law and P Diddy's relationships, and has been "dating" Orlando Bloom, James Franco, Jamie Burke, Daniel Craig, Josh Hartnett, Leonardo DiCaprio and Rhys Ifans. Too FUNNY. She's known as the "sluttiest girl in Hollywood".
I thought after all that Jude Law drams this sleazy heffasaid she was sick of being known for her personal life.
I guess she realized she was a crappy actress & knowbody gave a damn & went back to what works!!
What a lowdown SLIMEBALL thing for Getty to do. How could he let his family find out about his affair in the taloids?? Freaking CREEP! i hope his family has a nice summer without him.
Is that a boy in front of them and is Sienna not wearing a top?!? Thats Gross. And why would you want to be topless on a boat when your a celebrity unless you want to have paps taking pics of you.

Comments about tarte maracuja c-brighter eye treatment, .35 oz:
I love this eye cream. I don't have dark circles, so I can't speak to its effectiveness there, and you definitely can't expect an eye cream to erase or prevent wrinkles completely--let's be honest here! With our expectations brought down to reality: this stuff is awesome! It has the PERFECT consistency, nice, light smell, goes on easily, doesn't feel greasy or sit on my skin. It really moisturizes and brightens! I love to use it at night, it's a nice treat. However it is fairly pricey, so I wait for sales and use less expensive eye creams here and there too. This is my favorite. I love Tarte!

The Hawks had two choices: They could have kept what they had and continued to get the same results, or they could have done as Danny Ferry did. So long as the Core Four was intact, this organization had both a floor and a ceiling. The Hawks would be too talented to stink, too mismatched to win a championship.
Said Ferry, speaking Wednesday night: "The status quo wasn't going to be good enough to reach our goals, and we weren't even going to be able to sustain that."
That's a brutally accurate description of the Hawks before this general manager took hold of them. And where are they now, 2 1/2 weeks and two major trades later? Ferry again: "We're in a situation where we made some changes, and hopefully going forward we can be more opportunistic — hopefully better and more sustainable."
Thing is, "going forward" isn't synonymous with "here and now," and we live in an age where gratification is seldom deferred until tomorrow, let alone next year. Ferry's way involves risk. As newly constituted, the Hawks seem at best a .500 team. And even as I applaud this GM's vision and verve, I also recall a conversation with a former GM.
It was Year 2 or Year 3 – or maybe Year 4; they tended to run together – after the Billy Knight deconstruction, and I wanted to know how much longer it would be until the Hawks got good. Originally I'd voiced enthusiasm for Knight's brass in dumping players and salary, but so many losses over so much time had silenced the hosannas.
"You're getting impatient," Knight said, and I guess I was.
The risk of taking a step back is that there's no assurance you'll step forward anytime soon. No, Ferry hasn't sold off every asset — he still has Al Horford, Josh Smith and Jeff Teague — but what if the 2012-2013 Hawks are indeed mediocre? What if there's no postseason for the first time since 2007? What if all those folks praising Ferry for dumping Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams won't care to watch the remnants of the Core struggle to break even?
If the new Hawks don't deliver, the old Core could be pared further next summer. Smith is scheduled to be a free agent, and he has spent the past two seasons angling to get himself traded. How many difference-making free agents could be persuaded to take the Hawks' suddenly available money if all they see is a losing team and an outbound star?
Clearing Johnson's massive contract was a necessity. That said, losing him as a consistent scorer is a minus. It will take two or three guys to do what Joe did by himself.
Toward that end, the Hawks find themselves with a slew of off-guards and no real small forward. Ferry isn't nearly done rebuilding this roster, but what he has mirrors a latter-day Duke team – lots of shooters (imports Louis Williams and Anthony Morrow, plus draftee John Jenkins) and not much heft. As we know, Ferry played at Duke under Mike Krzyzewski.
When the Duke paradigm was mentioned, Ferry laughed. Then he said: "Shooting's a good thing to have. People who can attack off the dribble are good things to have. So are people who make plays for others. Shooting helps with good spacing. And good big men are nice to have, too."
Ferry's time as Cleveland's GM indicated that he believes in a team of balanced parts, or at least as balanced as a team that employs LeBron James can be. He had shooters (Mo Williams, Larry Hughes) and slashers (Delonte West) and big men (Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Anderson Varejao) and a real power forward (Antawn Jamison). No, it didn't bring Cleveland a championship, but it was good enough to win 127 games over two seasons.
Asked about the potential of his remade roster, Ferry said only: "I think we can be competitive."
The risk isn't so much that fans will desert the Hawks — fans haven't really embraced this team since 1988 — as that the anticipated follow-through won't arrive. Ferry used the word "opportunistic" a half-dozen times in a 10-minute conversation, and having money to spend is an absolute must. The Hawks do now. But some big name has to agree to take it.
There's a chance this way won't work, either. That's preferable to the old way, which was never going to work well enough. By taking a risk, Ferry has positioned the Hawks to reap a reward. No, not today. But someday soon.

He can't depend on free agents. He's got to lock up Josh or else… gulp.

Clearly the Hawks had to do SOMETHING to change things up, but risk and reward are linked together. Here's hoping that DF can bring championship level basketball to the ATL.

Ferry has concrete gonads. The Hawks seem to believe that each season there will be different results with the same cast of characters. Let's go with a youth movement and you will ignite the fan base. Ferry is not done….he's a damn gunslinger.

Correct me if I am wrong Mark but I think Danny has not played his best card yet. I get the feeling that he has something BIG under his sleave. And by the way you can throw me a kudos if you like?!
July 11th, 2012
8:20 pm
The Hawks need a Kobe/Lebron/Durant caliber center piece to build from. I think Horford and Smith are keepers, but we need that anchor.
July 11th, 2012
8:23 pm
Very likely that Josh will be gone before next season. His value will never be higher than it is right now. We don't need to pay him big bucks and have another Joe Johnson type huge salary/millstone around our necks.
July 11th, 2012
8:29 pm
Mark, DF has definitely made big moves, and they were indeed necessary. If the Hawks take a step back I will be fine with it. I feel like this team will be exciting and still competitive, but that is not the endgame anymore. i also think if DF was hired earlier, he would have hired his own coach in here.
July 11th, 2012
8:33 pm
Smith probably more inclined to stay now more than ever. And if Dwight Howard is the plan, you need josh smith for that.
July 11th, 2012
8:34 pm
Correct me if im wrong but wont the Hawks be able to offer Howard and CP3 the highest amount in 2013 FA. I thought that was the plan
July 11th, 2012
8:38 pm
i stopped watching & attending Hawks games because of 2 MAJOR problems with the Hawks teams over the last several years.
1. They were so predictable. Both in their play and ceiling.
2. the inability of predecessors to change the team when CHANGE was clearly needed.
If this team needs some time to become competitive, they will get it from me. I stand and applaud Danny Ferry what he has done in a short time.
I can not stand the owners, but i can get over that with the right people running the organization and potential in the talent.
For the first time in many years, i'm interested in seeing what DF and this team will do.
July 11th, 2012
8:40 pm
We have been here before, the question is will Ferry do something different. If he brings somebody in then great. The next thing we got to do is win. If not all of this was for naught and we enter the lottery for the next four or five years.
July 11th, 2012
8:41 pm
Win now, I am not promised tomorrow. I could care less what happens in two years, win this year.
July 11th, 2012
8:43 pm
Rick, I believe the card you are referring to is all aboud D. Howard. I have no reason to believe he will come here, but there is always hope.
July 11th, 2012
8:45 pm
Johnson took the Ferry outta town. We're movin' now.
July 11th, 2012
8:45 pm
Win now. You play to win, I don't remember anybody else but the winner.
July 11th, 2012
8:47 pm
I have been a fan of the Hawks for a long time and I stopped being interested in anything but a winner the year we won like 13 games or something. That was painful and I am not interested in seeing that again. Ferry had better put a winner on the court or he can go just like Johnson, Williams, Horford or Smith.
July 11th, 2012
8:49 pm
Oh how we miss the Pistol Pete and Dominique marvels in past eras! Dominique and crew were electrifying, but we traded him and a first round pick for Danny Manning who played 37 games for the Hawks! Of course, some may even remember the historical moment when we could have had David Thompson and Marvin Webster "The Eraser." Glad Danny Ferry is on board to shake things up! Goodbye Joe Johnson and his sour attitude and poor postseason performance and Marvin Williams who never started in college!
July 11th, 2012
8:51 pm
Win now and continue to only get to the second round? It didn't work for Lenny Wilkens, Mike Fratello, Woodson or others. I would rather take a chance to be among the elite rather than always one or two and out!
July 11th, 2012
8:56 pm
I want a championship. I want everybody gone, but don't give me this I will wait for five years until we get a winner crap. Win now, I want Ferry to bring somebody in here to win. If not he can leave just like everybody else. I want Horford, Smith and anybody else gone as long as we are moving towards a championship.
July 11th, 2012
8:58 pm
See how many 13 win seasons you will watch until you want something different.
July 11th, 2012
9:02 pm
Joe Johnson had a sour attitude? You know this how?
BTW: Hawks were never a great team with Pistol Pete…he was entertaining for sure, but we were a better team during this recent run than we were when Maravich was in Atlanta…
July 11th, 2012

Hope springs eternal. Let's not screw up the rebuild this time, no Marvin or Shellhead or A.C. Law. No Speedy Claxton.

July 11th, 2012
9:22 pm
This team is still good enough to get in as a 7 or an 8 if not better. We have a new influx of accurate shooters and I expect we will be making up Joe's points by banging alot of 3's with Morrow, Jenkins and others. We already have two of the best defensive interior men in the league, a rising PG, and solid backups now including Lou Williams. If Harris can stay healthy he could produce. Competitive is an understatement.
July 11th, 2012
9:23 pm
As constructed, the Hawks would be the 4th youngest team in the NBA. Last season, the Hawks were the 2nd oldest team trailing only the Dallas Mavericks.
July 11th, 2012
9:24 pm
I think the Hawks will be competitive. I also believe that GM Ferry is no where near finished revamping the roster. We are weak at the SF; everyone realizes that, but he's not finished yet.
July 11th, 2012
9:25 pm
It is complete! First on another blog and the big KUDOS from Bradley!
July 11th, 2012
9:25 pm
We need to trade Josh Smith. He and Al play the same position. So the roster tweaking will continue until Josh is traded.
July 11th, 2012
9:28 pm
So, this can one of two ways:
1. Ferry trades for Dwight Howard by giving Orlando a promising PG, a top five Center (who prefers to play PF), a good back up Center, and two first rounders next draft. Ferry also takes Richarson's contract, which may keep us from acquiring a significant FA next season.
In doing so, Ferry takes a major gamble that both Smith and Howard like it in ATL. Both players are FA's next season and can pretty much do what ever they want. Smith will have many suitors and Howard has major bucks waiting for him in NYC.
2. Ferry finishes the job he has already started. He trades Smith before the deadline. In doing so, the team will tank and definitely get a lottery pick. This next draft features a few decent Centers, but none that will rock the arena. There also are no great PG's. So, we would likely go after one of the big guys and hope that he can compliment Horford.
Regardless of who we can draft, the team will not ascend much higher than what we have seen with Marvin and Joe.
So, what say you?
I say: Roll the Dice. Trade for Howard and convince local corporations to offer Howard a lot of money to help them market their products. What Howard really wants is money. He has a lot of it waiting for him in NYC. Atlanta has to pony up and compete dollar for dollar.
July 11th, 2012

If not howard……….what about bynum???
July 11th, 2012

I thought the same thing about Bynum, but I get the feeling the Lakers won't consider trading him for anyone else other than Dwight. But I like your thinking…
July 11th, 2012
9:50 pm
Like someone else said, tomorrow is not promised! Trade for D12, pair him with homegrown Smith, Morrow and Sweet Lou and market this team as Atlanta's Finest … championship or bust! If Howard and Smith walk next year, go after a franchise level superstar and keep it movin'!

Thte shooters will only be valuable if we play inside out. Finally LD has to pit Smoove in the post with Horford playing the Bosh role. We will make the playoffs!! In ferry we trust AND #5 FOR.PRESIDENT!!!

Does it really matter who DF brings to the team? The Hawks are still owned by the worst ownership group in sports!!!

Cedric I am not sure that it is not possible. I think if not Howard he has a back up plan.

Billy Knight is the biggest dolt in professional sports management history. No wonder he's never been heard from since getting canned by the Hawks.

Teague needs to step up, and Josh needs to be the first option, followed by Al. The other "shooters" need to clear space for Teague to drive and Josh to work the post.

As this team is presently constituted: Miami, Boston, Indiana, New York, Brooklyn,Philly,and Chicago are all better. We will fight to be an 8th seed. Wow, I did not want to see 38 wins and possibly missing playoffs anytime soon. With very few creators on this roster, let's hope LD's ball movement offense really takes hold because scoring will be a problem for this team.

Ferry needs to dump Smith, Teague and Drew. Get rid of the human fouling machine, Zha Zha, while he's at it. Only then will the purge be complete.
Nothing funnier than watching Johnson, Smith and Teague absolutely befuddled as Drew scribbled up a last minute play in the huddle. They had absolutely no clue, and showed no interest or heart. I'd rather watch 4 rookies and Horford who actually take pride in their performance.
Keep cleaning house, Mr. Ferry – don't stop now.

Jesse, Josh probably does need to be the first option but he is too limited offensively to command double teams. Jenkins and Morrow probably will not get a lot of open looks. Very concerned about our ability to score consistently.

1. Give Ferry credit for getting rid of the contracts of JJ & Marvin.
2. They now have decent off guards in Lou, Morrow, Jenkins and Teague & Harris for point guard.
3. If we can sign Howard, provided he wants to play here, then we will have a better Core than the previous, with Howard, Josh, Lou, Harris, assuming we lose Teague & Horford in the trade for Howard.
4. Should we not get Howard, then I suggest we target Elton Brand, since Philly amnestied his contract, and not lose him to Miami. His contract would be very reasonable & give us inside presence & rebounds, for second chance opportunities.
5. We have no small forward, we could offer a good contract to Iggy from Philly or Rudy Gay from Memphis and roll with this lineup, as a starting point for next season roster.
Devin Harris
Lou Williams
Rudy Gay or Iggy
Mike (Draft Pick)
Jenkin (Draft Pick)
Benson / FA / Petro
6. Add & Subtract a player or two next season to improve team just as Miami is doing, we will still have money available depending how funds are allocated for above.
7. This team could get us into the playoffs at 6 thru 8 seed, depending on coaching!

No way we have enough puzzle pieces YET. Lets see how the next days play out. DF can't be done.
