Public Tennis Center project begins
Date: July 16, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Public Tennis Center's former office building has been torn down and work has begun on a new 1,750-square-foot pro shop.
The tennis center's former 280-square-foot office and check-in building at 590 Bay Isles Road was razed last week in preparation for the new facility.
An outline of the new two-story building's foundation, which includes a pro shop, a viewing deck, new dressing rooms and bathrooms, has already been formed. The site will also include a training court and a revamped parking area with 31 more parking spaces.
Naples-based Boran Craig Barber Engel Construction foreman Steve Ferrari said the project, which will also include a revised parking area, will be complete by the end of November.
The Town Commission approved the project at its March regular workshop after the estimated $732,000 project came in under bid. The total price tag for the project is $584,144.
While the town will fund the project, the intent is to use Sarasota County infrastructure surtax monies to pay back the town for the project.
The courts are available for use by tennis members while construction continues. A makeshift office has been set up in a portable near the courts east of Longboat Library. Members wanting to access the south courts at 590 Bay Isles Road must enter at a makeshift entrance formed at the Longboat Key U.S. Post Office's parking lot.

Keeping Grandparents Connected
When miles separate your kids from their grandparents, these tips can help boost a stronger relationship.
Last week my daughter started first grade. Our new morning routine challenged us that first day, but we managed to get in the car with a few extra minutes to spare, even after a round of first day photos. On the way there, we talked about what new friends she'd meet and how much she'd learn this year until I realized this was one of those days that called for some grandparent celebration. I called my mom in New York and put her on speaker phone, giving her a brief update before she took the cue and ran with it, using her most exuberant grandma voice to offer encouragement and celebrate my daughter's milestone.
Keeping grandparents an important part of our kids' childhood is challenging for us—we live in Florida and our families live in the Midwest. But both my husband and I have fond memories of spending time with our grandparents, and we work hard to keep the distance from affecting a good relationship between our kids and our parents. There's even more reason now to encourage these bonds though as new studies from the Institute of Aging at Boston College show that later in life, close relationships between grandparents and their adult grandchildren are associated with fewer depression symptoms for both the elderly and their grandchildren. In fact, these studies reveal that the closer the bond, the better their overall psychological health was.
Building these relationships unfortunately requires a lot more effort than most for our family as we don't get to see grandmas and grandpas nearly as much as we'd like. So how can we nurture these relationships with distance challenges?
It's taken some creativity and thoughtfulness for our family, but we're learning to use our resources from memories of the past to today's technology to weave close grandparent relationships, even with the distance. Compiled from some of our own traditions and some from friends who also live far from relatives, here are some ideas for building meaningful lasting bonds with grandparents who live far away.
An obvious tip but one easily forgotten, having photos of grandparents displayed is a great way to make them familiar faces, especially for babies. When my daughter was just learning to talk, we kept photos of all family members near and far taped to the bottom of the refrigerator at her eye level. We played games, calling names out and waiting for her to find them. Sending regular photos to grandparents (or texting them) is also a great way to make them feel like they aren't missing anything.
Connect to Place
Do your kids know where your parents live? Toddlers can quickly connect to where grandparents live if you teach them to locate their state on a map and tell them all about grandma's home. My daughter loves locating Michigan, Chicago and New York on a US map and, from the time she was very little, knew about a Midwest fall and that it snows where her grandparents live. Last year, her poppa sent an envelope of leaves, photos of colored trees and a letter to her kindergarten class so they too could connect with a different place in the country. The bonus? My daughter proudly connected with her grandpa through the experience.
Skype Story Reading
We just started this one after hearing how much friends enjoyed the experience. One night a week, after the kids are in their pajamas, we'll connect with my mom in New York through Skype and she'll read my kids their bedtime story. Last night's first session had my girls completely enthralled as my mom turned the pages and did all the character voices. "It's like you're in my living room," she said. God bless technology.
Display their Talents
Whether it's wood-carving or knitting, teach your kids the value of handmade goods from grandparents. We display Grandpa's photography in our kids' rooms (and tell them he took those photos), and we make note every time we put on one of my mom's crocheted sweaters that Grandma put a lot of love into it just for us.
Find Something in Common
Once we realized my daughter and her Grandpa George shared a love for nature and science, the two of them formed a special bond. He purchased a National Geographic Kids subscription for her, they send pictures back and forth of treasures they find in nature, and discussing science has become their secret little language. Look for areas of interest that might bond your child and grandparent, and foster these when you can.
Tell Their Stories
Telling your children stories about their grandparents—where they grew up, how they were raised, how they met each other, etc.—can do more than make them well known to your kids. Studies from Emory University reveal that knowing stories about your family increases self-esteem and creates more of a sense of control in a child's life. Books are great, but try trading a book some night for a real bedtime story—one from your parents' childhood.
Opportunity to Fix Something
Next time your toddler is crying over a boo-boo or your little one is anxious to go to the doctor, give a grandparent the opportunity to step in and help by calling them and asking them to talk to your child. "Why don't we call Grandma and see if she can make you feel better?" is a great way to send the message not only to your child that grandparents are important but to your parents that they are needed and that their advice and support is valued across the miles.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
The Blazers certainly looks like they have matured. They are dominating when needed and you could tell the step it up early againts the Knicks. I worried me a little actually because I thought they might wear themselves out early, but as usually they had enough in their tank to walk away at the end. I like to see how they do in gut check time and so far they have done excellent in both finishing stron and winning on the road.GO BLAZERS!!!
Wow, I should have read that before I hit submit. Anyway I wanted to comment on what a great game and 4th quarter that Miller had. Though LA choke at the line I knew Miller had ice in his veins and that he would make both his FTs to put the game away.Btw, I'm not ragging on LA. I wouldn't be one bit surprise if he's the hero in the next game.
It's like LA was losing to Amare in his head before the game began, and never recovered. I could almost see it on his face every time he touched the ball and Amare was on it. "This time, I'm gonna prove it."Now, don't get me wrong. I want LA to prove it! I wanted those 15 extra pounds he put on to push back. But I know how LA's mind works (cause mine is the same way.) The worst thing to do on the court is make a plan - cause then you start worrying about the plan, and, next thing you know, well, that shot wasn't exactly in rhythm, was it?Mike, the only thing that I really want to complain about is the lack of ball movement. You're there live, so you've got to notice just how fun that first quarter was to watch. Crisp passes, open men, back cuts. BU-T-FULL. It's been the best part about watching the first 3 games this season - the lack of iso has opened up the watchability of this team.And then...iso play. Iso plays and no boxing out...until five minute left in the game.So...I'm with you all the way. Your assessment is spot on. Good habits. Gritty veteran savvy. The NBA is the NBA and no team lets you win. I just hope that ball movement is the new habit and the iso plays were just the bad habit we're trying to break. Cause let me tell you, when we move that ball and rebound, there ain't a team out there that can hang with us. When we iso and don't, there ain't a team out there that can't.
Great blog Mike! The blazers have obviously matured and the poise they are showing in the 4th is what we've lacked in the playoffs. I am liking the this season's team much better!
Hey Mike I appreciate the blog as always. LaMarcus struggled from the stripe last night. Those were clutch free throws that could have sealed the game for us earlier than needed. He still came through putting up 20 points and 10 rebounds, so I'm not worried, everyone has off nights every now and again (although you HAVE to make your free throws)Andre looked like the player of the game. 19 points, and 10 assists, the guy is almost at 200 double-doubles for his career. Brandony, is always Big Time in the Big Apple, he put up 29 points.I did some researching last night Mike, if (or when) the Blazers beat Chicago on Monday, and make it to a 4-0 start, it will be their first 4-0 start since 1999-2000. Throughout franchise history, the Blzers have 5 seasons where they have put up good starting records. As said in the post I made on the message boards, in 1979 they had a 9-0 start to the season (could've made it 10 but lost to PHX by one point). Fast forward a couple of years to 1981, that record, was 7-0. Ten years later the best start to a season in franchise history occurred, they hurried off to a record of 11-0. 1992, they started 8-0.Last but not least, this year. We haven't played the "Big Dogs" yet, so it might be a too soon to tell, but with a good start to the season and a chance at 4-0 (3 of those on the road) I'd say the Blazers can pull it off.
lamarcus hasn't caught his rhythm yet, and he's averaging 15.7pts 9.7rebs and the team is 3-0. his next assignment is taj gibson. if the bulls double team aldridge, andre, brandon, nic and marcus pick them apart. if they don't double, he'll go for an easy 25. lamarcus is a shooter, all he has to do is keep shooting, and they'll start falling at some point.
any word on them fixing the time stamp for the blog?
* reposted from last blog *well, talk about being on the edge of your seat! this is the most nervous i've been all year. it's great that we have the ability to come back in the fourth quarter, but relying on that is a whole other story.game ball: two of them; to Brandon and Andre. Brandon helped keep us competitive in the third quarter en route to 29 points for the game. i know we've been concerned about the team letting down in the third quarter and Brandon didn't let that happen. he also had 6 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal and a block. Andre showed why the blazers, thus far at least, have not listened to the fans who want him traded. we needed his experience down the stretch. this is why we have Andre. he nailed two free throws near the end. he also had a double-double, with 19 points and 10 assists.LaMarcus could have been right in there for the game ball, but i just can't give it to a guy who shot 40 percent from the line. he ended with a great game, 20 ppoints and 10 boards, but those misses really could have hurt us. Wesley had a great shooting night and i thought did a nice job of countering Chandler for a while there in the first half. did anyone else notice that Nicolas was a team high plus-minus of +16 during his time on the court? vive-la-france! lol, another beret for Nicolas!i loved Marcus' defense on Stoudemire, especially that play at the end where he knocked the ball out off Stoudemire's knee. Marcus didn't have the kind of game that shows up on the stat sheet, but we don't always need that from him. against the knicks, we needed his hustle and tenacious defense. i've got to say something good about the newest blazer, Fabricio. as a guy who was signed just five days before this game as an insurance policy, he's almost starting to remind me of last year's insurance policy. he played 16 minutes, scored 4 points on 2-3 shooting, played tough and didn't make any real mistakes.overall, i was impressed with the game. we need to make some more free throws because 67 percent just isn't going to cut it. i like the fact we're 3-0, following most of our predictions about the schedule. chicago on monday night will be a tough test for us. we can beat them, but can we put it together.here are a few things i noticed about this game:* thanks to Andre and LaMarcus, we now have seven double-doubles in three games.* the knicks made one more three-pointer as the blazers, but shot 15 more attempts.* Nicolas and Andre shot a combined 10-14 from the field.* according to Rice, we're only going to win 44 more games during the course of the season.GO BLAZERS! TAME THE BULLS!~ Kassandra
looky, looky:http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2010/10/trail_blazers_video_a_look_at.htmlbig greg looking good in practice.
danman (from last blog): when i mentioned earlier blogs, i was actually talking about the blogs from when Wesley was actually signed. my skepticism is basically that we don't rely too much on what he did in another system for one season. as i've stated here many, many times, i want Wesley to be great. i'm just the type of person who needs to see itconsistently proven.travisd: good point that LaMarcus hasn't found his rhythm yet. there's no doubt in my mind that he will. i like that he's working through this period and he has gotten to the boards in the past couple of games.MB: i don't know if you want to get into this, or can, but what is the signifigance of the blazers not excercising the option on Greg's contract? i think Nicolas' option is a no brainer, and Rudy's proven that he'll do his best on the court regardless of where he really wants to be. i know Greg will be a restricted free agent, so is the team just waiting to see how he'll play once he comes back or do you think there's more to it?all: are you guys aware that in the first three games of this road trip, the blazers will have played in the three most populated cities in the united states? a win over the bulls would be a nice sort of hat trick!~ Kassandra
I think LA trying to have more of a inside game has thrown his game off a bit. Usually when you try to change like LA is you get worse before you get better, but when you finally do make the change you are better than you were before. So I'm not worried about LA soon he'll have his shooting touch back with a new inside game to add to his arsenal.GO BLAZERS!!
Great game, but... I posted my thoughts about it last game.Now I have something that troubles me greatly.http://www.nba.com/2010/news/10/30/oden-contract.ap/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt2If we do not have Oden next season I will protest Rich Cho and always say everywhere that he needs to be fired.
a while back i called comcast to see if i could get a mobile internet subscription that would allow me to watch blazers games. i was astonished that buying their mobile internet would not give me this ability. they would make a boatload of money if they allowed portland area folks to watch blazers games via comcast mobile internet. i believe people with other service providers would pay for this, and should be made available. this is a viable and equitable answer to this problem. i don't have or want cable or dish-type tv, but would pay $50 a month for mobile internet.
I am so excited for the Blazers this year. Now I have been a Blazer fan for as long as I can remember and the team this year is something special. They seem to be gelling together quite nicely and are no longer playing like a young team. I think that moniker needs to be shed for the Blazers. The core of this team has had a few years to get it together and I think that we might starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And starting a road trip 2-0 is also promising. Lets go Blazers keep up the good work. I have faith in every single player on the roster. Everybody has the ability to step up and make the plays. So far in the first 3 games we have seen that. Blazers are gonna be scary.
about greg odenthe blazers will have the ability to sign him during the off-season, whether or not other teams make him an offer.my concern is that some other team with lots of cap space come up empty in free agency again (new jersey). they could make him a max offer knowing that in the nba you have to overpay to acquire free agents.on the other hand, if they give oden a 5 year contract now, and he gets injured again, what then? the agreement to wait on a contract seems to be mutual from greg's side and the blazer's side, so i'm ok with that.the new collective bargaining agreement, and possible lock-out may end up telling everyone a lot about greg's value as well as greg health and performance this season. i'd bet that gm cho and PA are hoping to see oden perform very well and earn a nice extention. if joakim noah is worth $12mil a season, and rudy gay a max contract, a healthy greg is right there, and i'm sure they know that. the question will be, what does the new bargaining agreement allow?
Darn you Mike, I waited all morning for your Blog, I go out to get ready for work and you sneak it in.Great Blog, I have to go to work, but like a bad penny I will return.
Watching the Ugly Mavs vs the Clippers... Rebecca Harlow is with the Clippers now?
Hey Mike (haha hg, I was waiting all morning too!) - Good to hear from you, though it's already evening here in Prague (well, I am a bit late replying) - I think like most of us, I am happy that we are responding in the 4th the tough play, the runs (17-3 vs. NYK); it bodes well for later in the season or even just against the bigger teams (as Antony Copland said above) which we haven't encountered yet, so it'll be interesting to see if we can hang with them when the time comes. Yes, the other side is that it would be nice to be ahead and have some room for error, but of course, I hope that regardless of the situation with the score, I hope the guys remained focused, while still playing loose, so that when they execute plays, nerves or panic won't set it, especially late in the season and /or those top tier teams. Anyways, as always, I can't say much about in-games observations, but I appreicate hte details expressed by my fellow Blazers maniacs *tips Blazer cap to our lovely resident smarty- pants, Kassandra* :-)Kassandra & of course everyone else: On GO and the contract situation - I would be very depressed, if GO were to end up anywhere else after this year. I cannot imagine him in anything but the black, red and white. I do understand the reasoning behind the move (or rather, the lack of one); we will be able to re-sign him/match the offers he gets from other teams. Ms. K, yes, I would think they will evaluate GO's value and how much time and $$ he deserves based on his performance this year. I would hope that they are at a high percentage in terms of how likely they are to keep him, but this seems it's just a business move (after all, it is concerning $$$). I think we should stay positive about it, look forward to his and Joel's return and when the time comes, we can face/discuss what we think should happen. But yeah, it would be interesting to hear Mike's opinion or insight into the issue. If in the worst case, if we were to lose GO, it seems that once players leave our team, they tend to do good, at least in the short-term and in some cases, get a ring (I have to admit, if we don't get to the Finals, I am cheering for BOS, and imagine, if they win Jermaine will get a ring, but that's a stretch I guess, since it's been ages since he left us). Alright, peace to all! From Prague,-Anees
I can't believe Ronny Turiaf isn't starting for NYK. He was an absolute beast for them last night. Wesley Mathews needs to work on his handle. That lineup with him, Roy, Batum, LMA and Camby is going to get plenty of run and it shouldn't be up to Roy to bring the ball up every time.Kass,Yeah, Batum has always owned the +/-. I actually didn't know what the stat meant when he was signed, and I kept seeing this mysterious number on his line. He inspired me to look it up, and lo and behold, it told me what I already knew: the Blazers are a better team with Nico in the game.
I love the hard work and determination that the Blazers have had over these past three games. They really have flipped that switch from a younger more timid mindset to a ready to grind night in and night out sorta team (sure it may be to early to tell but a great start deserves it's credit). Although we are going to miss JBay and Penderbeast I do believe that Nate has been able to free up some minutes and the team has played really well on Nate's new 9-10 man rotation. I can't wait to see what Chicago has to say about LA's big night come Monday. GO BLAZERS!!!
Can't wait til Monday! Blazers are doing great-especially in the fourth. Promises to be a great season!!
Great Win!!!!! It's scary to think how good defensively this team is going to be when Priz and Greg return!!! We are already one of the top rebounding teams and both our bigs are out. I really feel that some of the smart coaching decisions, emphasis on D, rebounding and zone defense adjustment are related to our new assistant coaches. Since Nate's been with us he doesn't have a history of making immediate coaching adjustments and I think his new assistants are earning their paychecks. You already see the influence that Buck is making with LaMarcus and I'm excited to see his influence on Oden, when he returns. It's a good day to be a Blazer fan!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kassandra, The not extending Greg's contract is easy to see. Well, at least for me. He has not shown enough to warrant an extended contract. It's really up tp Greg now. Does he want to be a Blazer? he will define that by his play when he returns. If he plays well, he will get that contract, and we will pay to make sure of it. If he gets injured significantly again, I dont know that any team will be interested in a lengthy or expensive contract.I for one hope Greg comes back and has a healthy productive season, like we know he can.
Joel against the Thunder. I think I made that prediction before, but I have a feeling we'll be seeing Joel.Our team looks like an elite team. I can see them being considered an elite team after this season.
hey mike!!! it's been a while since ive commented on ure blog, but im back in action herethere was a play last night that got a lot of hype, ie the batum block, that there was something about that play we seemed to have glanced over. And btw this will answer all the critics of the $33 mil wesley matthews deal:on that play, wes got tripped up but in due time got up on his feet to play defense, when the play ended with the layup/batum block, guess where wes was, not on the outside, but right in the paint. Now watch carefully as LA corals the loose ball after the block. Notice that Amar'e was right under the basket too, and in fact the rebound seemed to be going to him. In steps BIG WES!!!! puts a body on Amar'e albeit it a lil body, and directs Amar'e just a little bit out of the way to ensure that a blazer got the loose ball.One of the most selfless/understanding plays i've seen in a while. if amar'e gets that, who knows NY very well mightve won, but 6-5 wes stepped in to the giant and took him out of the play so a teammate could get the ball.I know the coaching staff saw that, and i just want us fans to realize too why $33 was a bargain for this guy - he will win us games cuz he's the consummate teammate and person!!!Wes you're the man!!!!
Hope everyone is watching the overrated city blunder get dominated by the Utah Jazz. This is what is going to happen this season, teams are going to bring their game and OKC isn't near good enough to compete with the top 7 teams in the West. They're lucky if they even make the playoffs.Call me a hater, they're annoying. I'm sick of people overrating this first round exit team. Durant is completely overrated, and I still don't regret not picking him up. I'd rather have Batum, a player that can actually DEFEND.
regarding Greg: the situation is obvious to me as well. there are two mitigating factors that i see: 1. the potential lockout and negotiations between the league and players union (including possible salary contraction), and 2. the blazers wanting to see how Greg does upon his return. when i posed the question, i posed it to MB in the curiosity that there may be something else factoring into the current decision. there's really no confusion here. besides, Greg will be a restricted free agent at the end of the season, so we certainly will have that opportunity to retain him at that point.Herr: i just looked up the utah-okc game and jazz by 21! i suspect the national sports media is scrambling to explain this abonimation!500Dogs: the truth is, i've been itching to see Joel come back; i actually thought it may happen on this road trip, but i really think it's more likely that he would debut at home.~ Kassandra
hey everyone, some sad news today in blazer land. former blazer player and assistant coach Murice Lucas has passed away. i'm too young to have watched him play, but it's my understanding he's one of the blazer favorites of all time.http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=5751059my thoughts and prayers are with his family.~ Kassandra
Everybody:I had to quit reading the post when I heard of Luke Passing away. As you probably remember Luke and I had Bladder cancer surgery at the same time and then had pneumonia at the same time, he went for chemo and I took Phi Slamma's adivse and didn't go for it. Whether or not that is the reason I am still alive, I don't know, but I am just to upset to blogLater everybodyHg
Heard from my friend about the Blazers loss today. I knew his son Dom throughout most of my life and we chat every so often on Facebook.He'll be missed, but hopefully the team takes this as motivation.I swear, if I ever get rich or famous, I am donating to find a cure for cancer. I've now lost 3 people I've cared about this year alone from cancer.
Sorry not his son, his nephew
LMa is close. little tiny things on his inside game that will give him better balance and not appear so out of control when he trys to get strong with the ball is what imo he should be talked to about.lma has the talent to play there. just the little things... jumping straight up on a hook. instead of fading to the baseline ever so much.planting your foot strong on a move so you have power to go up.just little things. hes sooo close. when he does the little things it causes players to commit and the double to come which free'd up roy for the long ball.so close its scary.
Nice blog- thanks Mike!

EAST LANSING (WKZO) -- Michigan State University students are rallying around one of their own whose car was totaled in the celebration after the Spartans defeated Ohio State early Sunday morning.
Senior Steven Ripley's car was flipped by those out causing the disturbance, and the damage totaled the Honda Civic. Once word spread, other students started collecting money to help him repair the vehicle.
Donations had topped three-thousand dollars late Monday, and money is still coming in.

The Boston Bruins had their title defence cut short when they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season. However, it was Boston's fifth straight season making the playoffs and the third time in the last four seasons that the Bruins topped 100 points.
Off-Season Game Plan looks at a talented and tough Bruins team that will be facing a different set of challenges this summer.
A year ago, the Bruins were celebrating and trying to figure out how to construct a team capable of defending the Stanley Cup they had just won. This year, they are facing the prospect of not having goaltender Tim Thomas, who has stated that he intends to take the year off.
Without Thomas, the Bruins still have a capable starter, Tuukka Rask, so they're in better shape than some other team would be if their starting goaltender suddenly decided that he wasn't going to play.
Goaltending shouldn't be a prime concern, in part, because the Bruins have a quality core of defencemen returning. With Zdeno Chara leading five veteran returnees, and top prospect Dougie Hamilton on the way, Boston may only need to tweak the lineup with a veteran for depth.
Up front, Boston may need to replace checkers Chris Kelly and Gregory Campbell, but there will be plenty of talent, especially if Nathan Horton is healthy.
With a healthy Horton, the Bruins have a lot of favourable options among their top six forwards and Boston could very easily go into next season with a roster similar to the one that they had for the 2011-2012 season, but the Bruins also have the depth of talent to be able to engage in trade talks for an elite forward if there is an appetite to upgrade their talent level.
Midway through last season, the Bruins were rolling along as a dominant team poised to defend their title, when the club suffered some injuries and lost their edge for a while. Going into next season, there is every reason to believe that a healthy Bruins team can once again be one of the league's best.
The TSN.ca Rating is an efficiency rating based on per-game statistics including goals and assists -- weighted for strength (ie. power play, even, shorthanded) -- plus-minus, hits, blocked shots, giveaways, takeaways, penalty differential and faceoffs. (Stats are listed in this format: G-A-PTS, +/-, PIM, GP). Generally, a replacement-level player is around a 60, a top six forward and top four defenceman will be 70-plus and the biggest stars will be over 80. Evgeni Malkin finished at the top of the regular season ratings with a 93.12.

GM/COACHPeter Chiarelli/Claude Julien
Tyler Seguin took a massive jump forward in his second NHL season, more than tripling his rookie-season point total and ranking second in the league with a plus-34 rating. Seguin was the only player in the league to score more than 65 points while playing under 17 minutes per game, so there is room for even more production simply by taking on a bigger role, let alone what could happen as the 20-year-old gets stronger as he matures.
The only player in the league with a better plus-minus than Seguin was Patrice Bergeron, a centre who tackled tough defensive assignments and thrived, with the best all-around season of his career. It's taken some time, after concussions nearly derailed his career, but Bergeron is once again a top-end two-way forward.
Brad Marchand's role on the club continues to grow and he spent much of the season alongside Bergeron and Seguin. Marchand is an agitator, but he's productive too -- there are only two other players in the league (David Backes, Alex Burrows) that have scored at least 45 goals and been plus-45 or better over the last two seasons.
A versatile two-way player who can play wing or centre and contribute on the power play, Rich Peverley was a career-best plus-20 despite playing in only 57 games. If the Bruins lose Chris Kelly to free agency, Peverley may be a fit as the No. 3 centre.
David Krejci tied his previous season's point total, yet finished with a career-low minus-5 rating, thanks in large part to a rough stretch in February in which he tallied one goal and was minus-6 in an 11-game span. At his best, Krejci is a brilliant playmaker, a smart player with vision who can make his linemates better.
Power forward Milan Lucic is one of only two players to top 60 points and 100 penalty minutes in each of the last two seasons (Anaheim's Corey Perry is the other) and Lucic does it while putting up modest power play numbers (50 of his 61 points last season were even-strength).
A concussion ended Nathan Horton's season on January 22 and, after he was concussed in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final, there was understandably a lot of concern about his long-term prognosis. It appears that Horton is expected to be ready for training camp next year, which would help the Bruins, who missed his toughness and goal-scoring ability after he was injured last season.
21-year-old winger Jordan Caron eased his way into the lineup, playing 48 games in his second pro season. While he didn't play much, Caron did respond to an increased role late in the regular season, contributing eight points in a six-game span in early-to-mid March. If the Bruins are healthy, there may not be a big role for Caron, but he should be better-equipped to produce when the opportunity presents itself next season.
Daniel Paille is an honest worker who earned a new contract with the Bruins even though his 15 points in 69 games represented the lowest per-game scoring rate of his career.
34-year-old enforcer Shawn Thornton accrued a career-high 154 penalty minutes last season, but gets a few more minutes per game than standard heavyweight pugilists, though he wasn't as effective last season as he was the year before. In a town that appreciates a blue-collar bruiser, Thornton remains a popular part of the team.
Consistency can still be an issue for lanky winger Benoit Pouliot, but he scored a career-high 32 points and was career-best plus-18 last season. He's skilled enough to produce more, but teh 25-year-old has yet to earn the trust of his coaches to play a more significant role.
The Bruins have enough talent on hand to be competitive, but if they want to take a bolder step forward, they could get involved in trade talks for a big-name forward like Rick Nash or enter the bidding for free agent Zach Parise.
Zdeno Chara is 35-years-old, but just scored a career-high 52 points and, for the second straight season, led all defencemen with a plus-33 rating. He takes on the toughest assignments and succeeds. While Chara will slow down at some point, he remains at an elite level right now.
Boston has been a good fit for stay-at-home defenceman Dennis Seidenberg, who played a career-high 24:02 per game last season, finishing with a career-high plus-15 rating. He was one of nine defencemen in the league to record both 150 hits and 150 blocked shots last season, so he lays his body on the line on a consistent basis.
Johnny Boychuk offers similar traits to Seidenberg, a willingness to hit, block shots and, generally, do the dirty work that is required from a defensive-minded defenceman. He's also a plus-52 over the last three seasons.
Veteran Andrew Ference scored 24 points last season, the second-best total of his career and played a bigger role down the stretch and into the playoffs. Maybe he's a number five defenceman in an ideal situation, but Ference has been able to handle top four minutes when required.
Physical defenceman Adam McQuaid doesn't play much, under 15 minutes per game, but he's solid enough as a depth defenceman. His plus-46 rating over the last two seasons ranks third among defencemen (behind Chara and Vancouver's Dan Hamhuis), which isn't to suggest that McQuaid is anywhere near their class, but at least an indication that he's effective in the role to which he's been assigned.
While that group of five is a steady group, the Bruins obviously need more to round out the group. Top prospect Dougie Hamilton might be a contender for a spot, but free agent options like Matt Carle, Carlo Colaiacovo or Justin Schultz could be puck-moving parts of the solution too.
Calling Tim Thomas a returning goaltender is an inaccurate title, but he's under contract, so just leave him there, as opposed to the category of Veteran Player Taking a Year Off For Personal Reasons. It has been an unusual year for Thomas, to be sure, but it's hard to be optimistic about the state of his game after he takes a season off.
With Thomas planning to sit out, Tuukka Rask has an easy transition to the starter's job. Rask's season ended prematurely when he suffered a groin injury, but his save percentage of .927 over the last three seasons ranks highest among all goaltenders that played at least 90 games, ahead of Thomas (.926), Henrik Lundqvist (.924), Pekka Rinne (.922) and Tomas Vokoun (.922).
Now that Rask is due for a starter's workload, and Thomas is out, that opens the door for Anton Khudobin, the 26-year-old who had a strong season for Providence in the AHL last season and is on a one-way contract for 2012-2013.
The ninth overall pick last summer, Dougie Hamilton stands 6-foot-4 and has premium offensive ability. Defencemen tend to need time, but Hamilton may be able to compete for a spot as soon as next season as a 19-year-old.
Last year's second-round pick, Alexander Khokhlachev is a skilled playmaker, but is only 18. He'll need time, but could prove to be an intriguing player in the long run.
Taken in the second round in 2010, Jared Knight is a solid prospect, but hasn't put up tremendous point totals at the junior level, so it's reasonable to question just how big his impact will be once he reaches the pros.
Ryan Spooner, also taken in the second round in 2010, has more offensive upside and has tallied seven points in eight AHL games over the last couple seasons.
A lanky winger who made his NHL debut last season, 22-year-old Maxime Sauve has 66 points in 106 AHL games to this point in his career and that pro experience could at least have him in position to rate as a call-up next season.
There are more recent second-round picks ahead of him, but 22-year-old Tommy Cross was taken in 2007 and has steadily improved through four collegiate seasons. At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Cross has size that puts him ahead of some of Boston's smaller, more mobile blueline prospects.
Signed out of Michigan State, 5-foot-9 defenceman Torey Krug played a couple of games for the Bruins late in the year. If he can handle the pro grind, Krug does have the skating and puck skills to be productive in the NHL.
6-foot-4 winger Justin Florek scored enough at Northern Michigan to be encouraged about his chances as a pro and his size gives him a chance to at least fit a role as a checker.
At 26, Anton Khudobin is old as prospects go, but with a one-way contract for next season and a solid minor-league track record (along with a 1.32 GAA and .961 SV% in seven career NHL games), Khudobin is ready for his shot in the backup role.
Smallish winger Craig Cunningham scored 20 goals as an AHL rookie, for a Providence team that didn't have a lot of big scorers, so it's worth tracking his development, to see if the 21-year-old can build on his pro debut.
The Bruins have an interesting mix of other prospects to consider. Chris Bourque scored 93 points in the AHL last sesaon, Brian Ferlin had s solid freshman season at Cornell, while Matt Bartkowski and David Warsofsky are defencemen that have a chance to compete for call-up spots.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The debate about Rupert Sheldrake's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Rupert Sheldrake's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.

John Campbell 10+Mar 31 2013: I can't post anything, but this is somewhat of a test. They deleted a comment I made earlier. Not sure why, but now I can't post anything. The only thing these posts all had in common was the link to "Zen....and the Art of Debunking." If this gets through without the link, then maybe they've blacklisted that site for some reason. If it doesn't get through, then my posts are likely getting auto-deleted or winding up in a moderation queue.
At any rate, the "Zen...." article is very good. Thanks for taking me to the site.
Mar 31 2013: You can for the time being just obfuscate the links by inserting some random space here and there, like after the dots.. Worked for me. We will see what happens. A rather desperate and shortsighted move, if this is really a blacklisting of certain links "too effective against us".. this can't be true... or can it?
Mar 31 2013: A test I've just done indicates that that site is blacklisted and linking to it as of now leads to my post being auto-deleted. I can post without the link, but posting with the link leads to auto-deletion. This is the case as of 31 March at 00:49.
Just did a final test with a link to another site and the worked fine. So that site is apparently not safe for TED. (NSFT).
Mar 31 2013: I doubt it's a technical problem. I can post a link to a few other sites but not that one. Technical problems would not likely cause a comment that links to a single site to auto-delete the comment, which is what is happening. This is a feature of their forum software. Not unusual, but I can't imagine why that site specifically would be blacklisted, unless someone with admin privileges finds it offensive. Now that would be strange.
Mar 31 2013: Obviously it's a test to make sure you're using proper scientific protocols to deduce what the issue is. If you jump to conclusions they can reasonably conclude that everyone here is a delusional woomeister.
But, seriously, I think there are some site issues as of today. I have to use an alternate web browser to thumbs up or reply to comments.
Mar 31 2013: No, it's clear they are using a filter on the URLs. Normally your server wouldn't check the link for specific code, just if it looks sane from the syntax, so as a result you would just a get an error when,for example accessing a non-existing domain. But here specific action is taken when submitting. This can't be accidental. This is full-blown blacklisting.
You see, this works.
also this
But this
h t t p://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/people/paynem.php
would auto-delete this comment, (even if it is a non-existing link), because of the tcm. sequence pointing to Theory Condensed Matter group subdomain.
I just checked this link with another comment and indeed, it deletes it.
It shouldn't care. This isn't fair.

Instant Index: Hollywood Sign Turns 90
The cause of the accident remains under investigation. The plane was not equipped with a black box recorder because of its small size. Zhang said Riggs crashed while attempting a stunt in which the wheels of his plane were to drag along the lake surface at high speed. He had just taken off in a light rain, but there was no indication he had violated any flying regulations, Zhang said. Other reports said Chinese officials had urged Riggs not to take off, but Zhang said he had no information about that. Riggs was a well-known Hollywood stunt pilot, and the center of considerable controversy over a string of legal problems and penchant for self-promotion. Riggs website touts his credentials as a holder of several aviation speed world records, but doesnt mention the fact his U.S. pilots license had been suspended twice. Yang Qing/ Yang Qing/Xinhua Press/Corbis David Riggs body was recovered after more than 70 hours of searching. The first time was after buzzing the famed Santa Monica pier in Los Angeles in his Vodochody L-39 Albatros jet trainer. Riggs was sentenced to 60 days of community service and 60 days in jail for reckless flying. He lost his license again in November for selling rides in his plane without permission. The prosecution came after a plane piloted by a business partner crashed, killing both people on board. Riggs had a stack of other legal problems, including convictions for bank, wire and passport fraud.

Russia wields hard power over Armenia
President Vladimir Putin signed the law in June, sparking global outrage and a wave of protests demanding a boycott of the Games, which will be held in the Black Sea resort town of Sochi in February. There's no sign of athletes staying away but others big names are distancing themselves from the event. Just this week pop singer Cher said she had refused an invitation to perform because of Russia's anti-gay stance. Related: Bars worldwide boycott Russian vodka over anti-gay laws Putin said in an interview on state television in September that gay people would not be discriminated against at the Sochi Games. But that appears at odds with statements made by government officials that the anti-gay propaganda law will be enforced. The legislation gives authorities the power to impose fines as well as detain foreigners who are deemed to have breached the law before deporting them. Four Dutch tourists reportedly making a film about gay rights in Russia were arrested under the law in July. The other big Olympic sponsors are Visa ( V , Fortune 500 ), Samsung ( SSNLF ), Panasonic ( PCRFF ), General Electric ( GE , Fortune 500 ), Dow Chemical ( DOW , Fortune 500 ), Procter & Gamble ( PG , Fortune 500 ), Omega ( OCFN ) and Atos ( ATOS ). They're staying tight-lipped about the issue in public but a senior official at the International Olympic Committee said this month that several had raised concerns about how the law could affect the Games. "I have heard a lot from the sponsors, especially the American sponsors, of what they are afraid of might happen," IOC marketing commission chairman Gerhard Heiberg said. "I think this could ruin a lot for all of us," he added, saying the IOC would enforce its rules against demonstrations. Related: Olympics win boosts Japan stocks A spokesperson for Coca-Cola said the company has been "straightforward in our many discussions with the IOC about our expectations regarding safety and security [at the Games] …and will continue to engage directly with the IOC on this paramount priority." Companies pay an estimated $100 million to become a major Olympic sponsor. They also pump in massive additional investment to support related marketing campaigns.

Noting that Russia has very "purposeful" relationship with India, he said, "we would like to advance this relationship in various fields including by having technical cooperation." "We have done in the past and would continue to do so," Medvedev said, adding, "We are interested in further developing and consolidating our strategic partnership with India." According to an earlier plan, KNPP-I was supposed to go on stream by the end of August, but missed the target due to a technical snag. The Unit-I had achieved criticality on July 13. The second unit is expected to go on stream by June next year. KNPP Units one and two are VVER-1000 type reactors being set up with technical cooperation from Russia. Kudankulam is a 2,000 MW project comprising the two units each of which will generate 1,000 MW power. There is a plan to set up four more units of 1,000 MW each. Once those are ready, the Kudankulam plant will have six reactors in all. For commissioning the third and fourth units, talks between the governments of India and Russia are in an advanced stage. Besides Indo-Russian relations, Medvedev also spoke about the situation in Syria, Russia's ties with Commonwealth of Independent States(CIS) and countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Medvedev described the situation in Syria as "very complicated" and said it should be allowed to find out a peaceful solution to the crisis on its own. "External interference is not acceptable. We will never support it," he said in an apparent reference to US moves to carry out strikes in Syria.
Russia wants to consolidate strategic ties with India: Medvedev
But on Sept. 3 right in the middle of the Syria crisis the Armenian government abruptly declared that it would drop the whole project. Rather than aligning itself with the worlds largest free-trade zone and some of the worlds most sophisticated democracies, Armenia decided to stick with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan and opted to join the Eurasian Customs Union . No one pretends that Armenia was attracted by Russias soft power. By way of explanation, President Serzh Sargsyan has said that Armenia depends on Russia for its security and that Armenia has a large diaspora living in Russia . This sounds odd: Most security alliances, NATO included, do not require their members to join a customs union, and the presence of immigrants in one country doesnt usually affect trade policy in another. But Armenia has been made anxious in recent weeks by Russian diplomatic overtures to Azerbaijan , Armenias main rival, as well as by anti-immigrant rhetoric from Russian officials . The Armenians took the hint: If they signed the trade deal with Europe, Russia might sell more arms to their rival and expel the Armenians who live in Russia. The Armenians were no doubt watching Russian moves elsewhere in their immediate neighborhood, where a distinct pattern is emerging. On Sept. 11, Russia banned the import of Moldovan wine on the grounds that it is a health hazard. Ukrainian chocolates have suffered the same fate . Another old tactic, the use of gas pricing and supply as a tool of political influence , is being resurrected in Ukraine. In essence and Im summarizing here the Russians have let the Ukrainians understand that if they drop their own negotiations with Europe and join the Eurasian Customs Union, the price of gas they import from Russia could drop by more than half.
Gilbert, a candidate for the university presidency , for a round of meetings on Thursday. Gilbert, provost and executive vice president at Mississippi State University, is one of three finalists to replace longtime USA President Gordon Moulton, who retired July 1. Gilbert met with members of the universitys health systems division first, at 7 a.m., then had a series of meetings with the college deans, members of the financial affairs department, the Faculty Senate and the Board of Trustees. At 4 p.m., he took part in a public forum at USAs Mitchell Center. Before a crowd of about 200, he gave a PowerPoint presentation outlining his goals and ideas for the university, then took questions from the audience. Gilberts goals included improving the universitys retention rate of 68 percent and its graduation rate of 37 percent; creating more of an international focus for the universitys research programs; and attracting more businesses to the universitys Technology & Research Park. Doug Marshall, president of USAs Faculty Senate and a member of the presidential search committee, started the question-and-answer session by asking Gilbert if it was important, given the size of USAs health care division, to encourage the health care and university divisions to become more collaborative. The more we can get them working together, the better, Gilbert responded. I would do all that I could try to do bring the two divisions together as often as possible. Marshall also asked how Gilbert envisioned a typical faculty members workday in the future. Across the country, things are changing for faculty members, Gilbert said. Theyre more focused on research as we go forward. There is going to be more demand on faculty to be involved in knowledge creation and research. An audience member asked for Gilberts opinion on the universitys reliance on faculty adjunct professors. I think there is a place for a variety of different faculty types, Gilbert said, but relying too heavily on adjuncts is not a good idea. Other questions focused on ideas for expanding campus activities, enhancing the universitys role in the community and improving campus communication.
AIRMALL® USA Appoints Brandon Blaylock as Company's New CEO and President
USA Cycling has endorsed British challenger Brian Cookson against incumbent President Pat McQuaid in a contentious election that will be decided Sept. 27 in Florence, Italy. Cookson has promised to rebuild cyclings reputation and governance after years of doping allegations that reached a crescendo with the Lance Armstrong confession. The culture of doping within the sport largely stained McQuaids two-term tenure. Thursday's Photos of the day USA Cycling has raised concerns about the legitimacy of McQuaids nomination for the presidency after he failed to gain support from his home Irish federation and Switzerland, where he lives. He is running with support from Malaysia and Thailand. USA Cycling said in endorsing Cookson on Wednesday that he is best qualified to lead UCI and rebuild trust in the organization.

Markets close in 3 hrs 18 mins AIRMALL USA Appoints Brandon Blaylock as Company's New CEO and President – Announcement Comes as Company Prepares for Other Changes, Innovations – Press Release: AIRMALL USA 2 hours 47 minutes ago Print PITTSBURGH, Sept. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — AIRMALL USA , developer of the leading airport concessions model in North America, is pleased to announce the appointment of Brandon Blaylock as the company's new CEO and president. In this capacity, Blaylock will oversee and direct all of AIRMALL USA's retail concessions operations at Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT), Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE). He will also oversee business development initiatives for AIRMALL USA as it grows its portfolio of airports in North America. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130815/NE65000LOGO ) "Few companies can say that they literally invented a concept. AIRMALL revolutionized the way we think about airport concessions when it launched their approach at Pittsburgh International Airport more than 20 years ago, and since then, that approach has been emulated across North America," said Blaylock. "It takes vision and boldness to go against the norm and change the conversation, and I am proud to be leading a company with that thinking. This approach will propel us into our next chapter of revolutionizing how people shop and eat when they're at the airport." Blaylock comes to AIRMALL with more than 30 years of experience in development, engineering, banking, investments, company operations, and fund management. He is the co-founder of Faros Infrastructure Partners, a private investment firm based in London and Darien, Ct. His background includes a broad range of sectors, including oil and gas, transportation, and energy. Prior to founding Faros Infrastructure Partners, Blaylock spent 18 years at General Electric (GE) as CEO of GE Transportation Finance, Inc., and as managing director/executive vice president of various GE Capital groups. Blaylock also served on the board of directors and investment committee of Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) a multi-billion dollar infrastructure fund as a representative of GE Capital Energy Financial Services, Mubadala Infrastructure Partners and the Latin America Infrastructure Fund. Prior to GE, Blaylock spent several years in commercial banking and in the production department at Exxon. He earned a B.S. in civil engineering and an M.S. in petroleum engineering from the University of Southern California. He earned his M.B.A. from UCLA. Blaylock's appointment comes at a time when AIRMALL is preparing to unveil a new brand identity for the company, one that more readily speaks to its role as a change agent for airports and cities alike that seek to enhance the passenger experience and maximize revenues from a high-quality concessions program. "Our new tagline is 'Go With Us,' and we believe it speaks definitively to what AIRMALL can bring to any airport," Blaylock continued. "When you go with AIRMALL, you're going with an approach that brings the very best local, national and international brands together, and you're committing to a program that requires those operators to compete for the passenger's dollar. This model set the industry standard and has generated among the highest-per passenger spends on the continent. Our programs also turn into economic engines, bringing more jobs to the region and providing critical infrastructure dollars that translate into permanent improvements for airports." Blaylock replaces Mark Knight, who had been with the company since 1992. "For 21 years, Mark Knight's steady hand guided AIRMALL to its many successes. He oversaw the launch of the first AIRMALL at Pittsburgh International Airport and engineered the company's growth in the ensuing decades as it expanded its operations to other key cities," Blaylock said. "We thank Mark for his many contributions, and we wish him every success in his next chapter." For more information, visit www.airmall.com .

Children are especially vulnerable in the scorching hot summer weather, so experts advice us to take precautions when we are outside with our kids.
We all know how hot equipment can get at playgrounds, especially older equipment. Metal slides, handrails and uncoated metals get the hottest, but plastic slides and steps are also culprits.
Sanford's child safety technician April Robideaux says adults should touch the equipment to see how it feels, keeping in mind that kids have more sensitive skin.
"For one, their skin is thinner and more delicate so that can pose a danger in itself, but secondly, because they don't have that instinct to move from a dangerous burn situation," Robideaux explains. "Even though a child might be standing on hot concrete or on a metal slide and crying they don't know to move themselves from that situation."
Children ages two and younger are the most vulnerable to heat. It is also a good idea to find a park with equipment that's partially shaded, so it's safer to use.

AT:NY mentioned CorkStore a while ago in their review of Jelinek Cork Products, and we recently followed that lead to look for supplies for a project of our own. In our search for small cork sheets, we found the best selection and deals at this online shop. Corkstore.com carries flooring, bulletin boards, soundproofing, rolls and sheets, recycled wine corks, place mats, serving trays, and even cork ottomans...
The Cork Fabric intrigued us - it has a tough, leathery texture but it's also washable. They also carry cork wallpaper, clay plasters, and small chalkboards for $15 each.
For some very cool ways to use cork, check out the April/May issue of ReadyMade, which includes projects like cork table runners, serving pieces, and coasters.

I know cork floors are supposed to be installed on a perfectly smooth surface. Would that also be necessary for the floating cork floors?
Design*sponge had a very cool project up yesterday: recycled cork trivets. I guess those of us who neglected to save their used corks could pick some up here for the project!
I don't think that the floating floors have to be installed on a perfectly smooth surface; we've used them in condos before, and as long as the surface is relatively smooth and level, they should be fine.
Have I missed something? Isn't cork NOT being used for wine bottles anymore because of the shortage? Are the other uses somehow different? I love the feel of the cork floors, but... Please someone tell me what I'm not understanding correctly.
I was going to ask the same thing. Aren't we supposedly running out of cork?
My fantasy is a cork floor.
We are not running out of cork. Business, including the wine business, like petroleum products because they're cheaper; the economy of scale. Besides don't you prefer a wine stopper that lasts in the environment forever or your lifetime which ever comes first?

I frankly just wanted a new mattress and my old set was so bad that seriously anything would be better SO I went for the best deal on a brand name mattress. I'm a long time, diehard Overstock fan, so here was my logical place to start and, not surprisingly, where my search ended! Start out with an excellent priced mattress, add free & outstanding delivery, toss in bucks toward my "O" membership and toss in a 14% off for the sale that was going on, I totally scored! The mattress is great, the delivery did take a couple weeks, but it's worth waiting for. The delivery guys were here at 7:15am, each guy carried in a piece of my queen size set. They removed all the packaging, tossed my old mattresses in the bags from the new ones, taped them shut, then they removed mine, the entire process took less than 15 minutes! If Overstock doesn't sell you on their prices, then the delivery service will put them over the top! Love, LOVE, LOVE!!!
This mattress set is VERY soft, you kind of just sink into it, which is what the buyer wanted. Good price, fast delivery, I would purchase a mattress from Overstock again.
I was looking to upgrade to a better bed for my husband and I. I saw this on overstock.com and decided to purchase it. It was shipped really fast. I love love this bed!!!. It's soft and also high (We wanted the high setting). Best investment I made since the begin of the new year.
This mattress was so comfortable and such a great value we had one delivered to our son in Colorado!
This mattress was perfect for the price. It works well for both me and my husband. He enjoys to have the comfort and a small amount of firmness as I enjoy the cloud like feeling it provides.
The low profile box broke after 3 months, and though there is a 5-year "limited" warranty, Serta must send an inspector to look at the damage (3 broken pieces of wood). I replaced it from a local store and will not engage Serta. The mattress is soft, not firm as advertised.
Love the fact that the low profile box set works with my platform bed. just the right height. very pleased with this. pillowtop is a bit stiff but after use for awhile it is not an issue.
A fantastic price for an outstanding mattress/foundation set. Let's face it....I was a bit nervous ordering a bed online.....however, my fears quickly disappeared upon arrival of this set....followed up with a comfy great nights sleep!! Delivery company was terrific ...from start to finish....with excellent communication.... I would DEFINITELY purchase this Serta set again!
It's not as comfy as I had hoped; much more firm than I had expected.
This box spring and mattress turned out to be everything I wanted. and at a great prince. I was unaware that Serta produced merchandise especially for Overstock. The mattress is firm and yet with the pillow top it gives the mattress just a little bit of softness that cradles your body and you drift off to sleep. The only point I would make if that it would be nice if there were handles on the sides of the box spring and mattress to make it easier to turn, especially since you are unable to flip the mattress.

Just replace the black and white with blue and white ?
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.
- Winston Churchill
Just replace the black and white with blue and white ?
thank you both, i have now made it water blue colour and currently trying to figure out how to draw ACCURATE borders
If i import an image and put it on the canvas, put the opacity low and make a layer of colour, will that work?
with illustrator, yes. You can draw like you would in photoshop.
To begin with, try to have both maps on the same scale, I'm not sure it's the case right now, it's hard to tell. It's possible that they are not from the same projection, in that case they can't match perfectly. You will have to use ''landmarks'' like rivers or mountains to trace the borders. For the rest try to be as precise as possible but I have not specific hint.

Bon Cinéma : Films of France
Published on Monday, March 18, 2013 - 4:15pm
What could be lovelier than Paris in spring? Join us this month for a healthy dose of escape with our April Film Series, Bon Cinéma, a celebration of French film. We will screen five contemporary films. The selections are spoken in French and subtitled in English.
All movies are FREE and they begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays in the large lower-level meeting room.
April 2 -- Amélie (Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain) (2001)
R, 122 minutes
Amélie is a shy young woman who loves life's small pleasures. In spite of her ability to find the beautiful in the ordinary, she yearns for love as well as a sense of direction. A sheltered childhood with a quirky family made Amélie a bit of an oddball in life and in work (at a Parisian café). One day, she discovers a box of boyhood treasures and decides to find its owner. It is the first day of the rest of her life!
April 9 -- Swimming Pool (2003)
R, 103 minutes
Sarah Morton, a (fictitious) British novelist of renown, is plagued by writer's block. Her editor offers his villa in the south of France as an escape and hopefully a cure for her inertia. All goes smoothly until Julie, the editor's reckless daughter, arrives unannounced ... and unwelcome. The two are polar opposites and fur flies; but the discovery of a dead body changes everything.
April 16 -- The Chorus (2004)
PG-13, 97 minutes
A dreary boys' reform school in post-World War II France is blessed with the arrival of Clement, a passionate music teacher. He wants to inspire the students by involving them in a chorus. However, the headmaster is opposed and Clement must proceed in secret. What happens next is a heart-warming story of the gift of music.
April 23 -- Jean de Florette (1987)
PG, 133 minutes
This adaptation of Marcel Pagnol's classic novel takes place in Provence during the 1920s. A city man becomes the owner of a rural property that has a treasure -- a natural spring. A pair of covetous neighbors have dastardly designs to steal the water and the land. A mysterious death changes the water's course as it changes the lives of the characters.
April 30 -- Manon of the Spring (1987)
PG, 113 minutes
This film is the sequel to Jean de Florette as well as an adaptation of a novel by Marcel Pagnol. About ten years later we meet the shepherdess Manon, the daughter of the man who owned the property and its spring. She is determined to seek revenge for the death of her father. In an act of her revenge she goes so far as to alter the waters that flow to the village. However, humans cannot always overpower nature.
