Idk how I feel about covering myself in grey paint but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'm really loving all the characters, but Kanaya's the only one so far I really want to cosplay. Maybe that'll change in the future! @v@

According to the United Football League's website, the proposed new league's mission statement is: "To fulfill the unmet needs of football fans in major markets currently underserved by professional football by providing a high quality traditional football league comprised of world class professional football players."
I'm still trying to figure out how there are "unmet needs" in New York and San Francisco. But let's put that aside for a minute.
After looking at the league's first "draft" list, I've decided: If Michael Vick plays in this thing, he's crazy.
The UFL's four teams — New York, San Francisco, Orlando, Las Vegas — had their first draft. You can tell a lot about a football league by the quarterbacks. Here are the six who were drafted: Brooks Bollinger (Orlando), C.J. Bacher (New York), Brian Johnson (New York), Shane Boyd (San Francisco), Brett Dietz (San Francisco) and Liam O'Hagan (San Francisco).
Google should become the league' title sponsor. Nobody's going to be able to figure out a team's roster without it.
San Francisco fans were considered among those with "unmet needs" — I guess because the franchise has won five Super Bowls and they've been treated in the past to Joe Montana and Steve Young. Now San Francisco has a team with quarterbacks from Hanover (Dietz) and Harvard (O'Hagan). That must be some sort of record.
Las Vegas didn't draft a quarterback. But it did draft defensive back Adam Archuletta, who is engaged to a former Playboy Playmate, Jennifer Walcott.
I'm not sure where Walcott fits into the offense. (Feel free to craft your own juvenille joke. I can't get away with any of mine). But it doesn't really matter because the team is based in Las Vegas. So at least one franchise has figured out its audience.
I understand the league is a start-up. I understand that other players will be added later. (There are rumors that somebody is getting J.P. Losman! The good news: We don't need to Google Losman. We already know he stinks.)
But this is the kind of league that gets players run over and maimed – and for no glory, no money and with nobody watching. I don't even want to know about the health insurance.
This isn't the place for a former and potentially future NFL star to rehab his career.
There have been reports that Vick might sign with the Orlando franchise. But that would come off as extreme desperation. It would be like watching an actor trying to make a comeback on a Ronco commercial, selling Vegematics.
Vick wasn't eligible for the UFL draft — wow, they have rules? — because he is under house arrest for another month.
Some unsolicited advice for Vick: after house arrest, stay in the house.
He would be better off working out on his own and quietly trying to repair his life and his image, out of the public spotlight, at least as much as possible.
So far I've found only two players with local ties in the UFL draft list: former Georgia tight end Jermaine Wiggins (Orlando), who played with five NFL teams in seven years, and former Georgia Southern defensive end Damon Suggs (San Francisco), who was not drafted by an NFL team.

This is absolutely good advice…..which is exactly why Vick will most likely not heed it. He ain't the brightest star in the sky and, as I believe you've correctly pointed out in the past, his "advisers" don't shine much brighter. Dude is going to jump at the first dollar sign he sees, guarantee it.

Stop being a Vick HATER!!! Football is a game. It may be in Vicks best interest to forget football altogether. If he does decide to play it will be great and he will redeem himself in grand fashion. Death to Haters. I love y'all tho!
June 22nd, 2009
8:31 am
A player cannot get into game shape working out at home, especially after a long layoff such as Vick has experienced. Even though the competition may not be very good and assuming Vick still has most of the skills previouly exhibited what harm can it do him to show NFL teams that he is still capable of playing, to get back into playing shape, and to make more money than is possible a $10.00 per hour laborer. It seems to me that his only risks are getting hurt or showing that he has lost some of his athleticism which is a more than reasonable exchange for potentially attracting NFL attention.

Four teams? What a "league," that is. This will be worse than the CFL's U.S. experiment and the XFL combined.
June 22nd, 2009

Vick has no other choice but to play for the UFL. The NFL is not going to let him play for at least a year.
June 22nd, 2009

I bet Ms. Walcott would be good in the "spread" offense.
June 22nd, 2009
8:42 am
I agree with you, Jeff. MV needs to pull himself together, put together a good PR and management team, and get an NFL gig. Especially at the start-up stage, I don't see where the UFL will help Mike very much. Lately, some strong, sensible NFL leaders have made themselves available to MV to help him get his life back on track; he needs to take advantage of this. The UFL may seem like an easy stepping stone to get back into football, but I hope he sticks it out, goes to work to lobby Goodell to reinstate him, and gets back into the NFL. I think it will be a better pay-off in the long run.

$4 million. that's the reason. no one is complaining about beckham earning $25 million playing in the minor leagues. Any competition is better than what he has faced in the last two seasons.

A player who is injuried for almost two years is not scrutinized for loosing his edge to complete; why si Mike Vick. None of you are scouts, just arm chair watchers, probably like me, no reeal football talent and the only knowledge you have is from John Maden comments on MNF
If Mike Vick gets into a camp, hye will show if he has it or not. Obviously he should get into some teams camp. Al of you are probably insane for still tryign to keep him down. WHy not get on Dante Stallworth's case, since the only reason he is suspended is to justify Mike Vick being suspended.
June 22nd, 2009
9:39 am
Mike Vick has had two years and done NOTHING to repair his "image". He is a habitual liar, just ask Arthur Blank and Roger Goodell. Besides he is too fat and out of shape to play flag football much less any type of pro ball. Once a liar, always a liar. It is no suprise that not any NFL teams are jumping to sign the immature liar.
June 22nd, 2009
9:41 am
Dear Mr. JS–the way I see it is Vick should get on as, say, Assistant to the President for Compliance in the UHL. That way, Goodell might get a clear view of the new Vick really fast. Also, he might consider catching on as a referee in the new league. Or, how 'bout as a sheep shephard in Wyoming. Under the big sky and in the clean, cool air. What a sight that would be! Your pal, Mitch
June 22nd, 2009
9:51 am
I know it's your job to be fun, sarcastic, and irreverent, but come on now. Some simple investigation would lead you to find out that the UFL Draft was a preliminary to finding out which QBs the four teams are going to use. That announcements comes next month.
So yes, Loss-Man will be a QB for someone, probably Las Vegas and QB guru Fassel (the guy who took Kerry Collins off the junk pile and AA Meetings and to a Super Bowl).
What you're missing out is that the UFL is going to try an create a viable MINOR LEAGUE for the NFL, in the ways the CFL never could.
How would a guy like Chipper fair if he went down to Gwinnett for 3 monhts?
How would a guy like Al Horford do against NBA D-Leaguers?
How would Ilya do in the IHL?
Come on Jeff, if Vick is suspended for a year (which he will be, because The Commish don't play around), then the UFL is the BEST place for him to go.
Convicted FELONS can't play in Canada. Remember, Ricky was never a felon, he was smart enough to only get misdemeanor possession arrests.
The UFL is a place where Mike Vick can go for three months and DOMINATE. Do the Mike Vick thing. Get back to the weekly grind of practices. Get back to being with the guys. Get back to dealing with coaches, not correction offices.
Look, I don't like Mike Vick. A part of me hopes he never plays another down in football. I feel the same way about Stallworth. Playing in the NFL is a privledge, not a right. If the NFL banned him for life, he could still go make money somewhere else. They're not preventing him from making a living as so many of his apologists claim. A lot of why I don't like Vick is because I don't believe for a moment that he feels remorse for what he's done, just that he feels sorry he got caught.
If he felt remorse, he'd present an un-ridiculous plan in bankruptcy court where he doesn't get to keep all of his cars and HOUSES. You know, maybe a plan where he keeps ONE house and TWO cars? You know, pay of his debts?
But Mike Vick remains as arrogant and as entitled as the day he walked out of ThugTech, where Frank Beamer strokes egos and creates monsters.
Nope… if Vick wants to do the best thing for himself, playing in the UFL is it. So, of course, he won't do that. Because he's once again surrounded himself with a posse and with hangers-on and with handlers. And they're all saying the same thing: You're too good for them. You're the best. The NFL will take you back. You're gonna make millions in no time.
Mike Vick hasn't learned a darn thing in the two years he's been away from football.
June 22nd, 2009
9:55 am
Wouldn't a more interesting article be on if Vick has actually set one foot on the job site that's paying him $10/hr? I have yet to see or hear anything about Vick actually going to work and isn't that part of his house arrest guidelines?

Sitting in the airport yesterday, I overheard the CNN televisions replaying some sound bite of Sean Hannity announcing, "Folks, journalism in America is dead." I laughed under my breath.

Going to make this quick, once again you continue to prove our point… Michael Vick is NOT your concern as of his release from 1. the Federal Penal system, 2. his release contractual release from the Atlanta Falcons (coughing at the insinuation I'm making here about the Flowery Branch Falcons) Football Team, and 3. You said quote: "Goodbye, Michael Vick. Finally. I'm all for his return – somewhere else. I'm all for him rehabilitating his image and his life and reviving his career – somewhere else. He has served his time. He has thought about where he went wrong and where he needs to go from here. Now comes the really hard part: Doing things correctly."
OK, I'm going to speak to you directly, either be a man and accept the fact the you proposed to us this as your truth; or else the fact that it is something different and you can not and will not stop!!! You don't have to wait until July 20th at 10:30AM to end the madness.

Another quick point, what is it about you and another man's fiance or wife? You keep mentioning this wife of yours; but we are always subjected to your quasi porn tour… I'll quote him again, Howling Wolf the great blues man said it best: "Grown men do, little boys wish!" If you don't respect us, at least respect your wife… The strippers of Atlanta will thank you… And that's not name calling, that's fact…

Are they going to have real football or is it going to another XFL or arena type game?

"It might be in his best interests to forget football altogether…" What, so he can get to work solving the human genome? Please, let the man play football somewhere. There are enough VT thugs already selling crack or making pizzas.

Jeff, how could you miss the point here? Vick would probably cringe to have to play in this new league. But he's got a judge over-seeing his plan to get out of huge debts. He simply has to take the best contract—i.e. the most money—he can get. Nothing else trumps that right now. I hope he gets re-instated, and that an NFL team signs him; but if not he has little choice to take what he can get.

he should take the money and run

Vick needs to avoid the UFL and he also needs to avoid going back to prison,if that's possible.Hope not.

I'm in total agreement with Football Fan!!!!!!!! Tired about hearing about MV . He does not play for ATL. He does not live in the Atl. He did not go to school in Ga. What's up let it go.

i dont think this is good advice because this Vick owes millions of dollars to people. unless he can find a team that will take him in the NFL then he should play in this new league right now im pretty sure that if vick cannot find away to pay up then he would have to relinquish his house. who knows, maybe the only reason he still has that house is to have a place to complete his house arrest…

Good grief Schultz, Vick will be paid $3 or $3 million dollars to play 6 games against weaker talent as practice – and you think that's a bad idea? Are you really that insane?? By the UFL commissioner's own admission, its just a stepping stone…one that pays 7 figures and you're saying stay away? Are you really that stupid?? He'll be back in the NFL right after that….but noooooo, the great and mighty writer at the AJC says don't do it…Schultz, you need to stay off the drugs or get better ones.

From the onset of the new Falcons marketing campaign, "SCREAMERS WANTED," it was abundantly clear that Michael Vick no longer fit in with the organization's needs.
This is primarily because of many of Mr. Vick's prison boyfriends testified that MV7 is definitely a whimpering moaner, not a screamer.
Onward and Upward, Falcons!

Vick needs to follow through with his sentence until 'house arrest' is over and proceed to rebuild his ENTIRE life.. then, he should meet with the NFL and work to build a confidence in his ability to outgrow the person he was 'in the past' and start showing through actions that he is a better man first, then find entry back into the NFL… I personally think that too many people want to write him off too fast.. as someone earlier mentioned indirectly, he does need some good support around him and needs to ignore all of the 'naysayers'; many who it seems are very ignorant of the problems related with some of the pitfalls of the path that Vick has walked in his early life. Not to excuse him entirely, but 'role modeling or lack of it' plays heavily in his misdirections and he does have the potential to rebuild. Only the NFL can make it possible, no amateur stops on the way….

I bet Bernie Kosar is wishing he could play in the UFL….heck, he probably wishing he could cheer for the UFL at this point.
June 22nd, 2009
12:55 pm
Mike Vick would be a FOOL not to play in the UFL….he could make 3 times the salary he would make in the NFL. His FIRST priority is his family and paying off his debts…do you think he gives a d@mn about what you mountain dwellers think?
Jeff, if it wasn't for Mike Vick you wouldn't have a career. If you haters are so happy he's gone, why do you talk about him EVERY WEEK??
June 22nd, 2009
12:59 pm
Do you pilgrims(that includes you Jeffrey) have a pic of Mike Vick over your beds??
June 22nd, 2009
1:04 pm
For all of you idiots speaking on the bankruptcy part of it all, why aren't you outraged and going after GM the same way? And to the fellow who wrote this blog, he won't stop slipping them in because guess what people racism between black and white will always sell.

Mr Schultz
No offense, but it seems like the caucasians will always look at The Incomporable Mike Vick with racial eyes. I could understand if Vick got off like Stallworth did, but Vick has DOUBLE paid the price. I still can't believe that you people still hate Vick and crucify him more that Stallworth….Stallworth killed a person, and no one is saying a peep or protesting anything. Its a shame that caucasians value a dog over a human being.
The Great Mike Vick Has Returned.

If Mike Vick does go to the UFL, every last one of you knuckle draggers will be watching!! MV7 sold out every stadium he played in…you haters will be watching, hoping that he fails.
And you want us to believe that this "hate" is ALL about PITBULLS?? LOL
June 22nd, 2009
1:30 pm
I can't wait until Vick gets back to playing football again……..that way I won't be forced to watch the weak as… Falcons.

The UFL thanks you for the free publicity.

Home Staging and Interior Design
In today's real estate market, your home needs to be buyer-ready. Fresh, unique and compelling. Styled to move quickly—and at the highest price. You have precious seconds to captivate a prospective buyer—and their experience begins at the curb. Today's buyer needs to fall in love with your home in the first instant.
Since 2008, we have designed environments to entice buyers and encourage strong offers. No property is too large or small for us to show off its best features and highlight its unique qualities. At Madison Modern Home, we guide each project from beginning to completion with an eye toward exceptional quality and attention to detail. Homes we have styled stay on the market an average of six short weeks. Some have entered escrow within a mere 24 hours of listing. We ensure you'll experience a smooth transition from listed to sold.
Madison Modern Home is a family business, made up of a mother-daughter team
A natural-born interior designer, I have a keen eye for what works in a room, and a knack for sourcing just the right art and accessories to round out an environment. I spent 29 years in graphic design and creative direction.
Equally obsessed with design, I studied interior design at Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. With an additional background in graphic design, I bring my unique artistic vision to each project.
Together, we tackle homes, condos, townhouses and apartments with talent, energy, a fresh perspective and superb client interaction. madisonmodernhome.com
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
We completely re-imagined two rooms for a Windsor Hills, CA, client who loves Mid Century modern style. She had acquired some nice pieces already, but just didn't know quite how to pull the entire look together. She also wanted a way to display some of her prized African artifacts.
Enter Madison Modern Home, and a brand new living room and dining room began to take shape, complete with a rustic stacked stone fireplace and reclaimed wood mantel to replace the outdated brick and mirror. We sourced bright yellow modern chairs, a cobalt blue rug, kilim and richly textured pillows, Moroccan patterned curtains and new lighting. In the dining room, it was a complete overhaul — featuring a sleek dining table and chairs, original art and an eye-catching three-light pendant.
Rachel Moore, lead designer at Madison Modern Home, attaches her art to the living room wall. All art and photography are originals
We were influenced by tribal patterns and textures, and incorporated many of the client's existing African finds
Two stand-out yellow chairs found at Plummers anchor the living room
Pottery Barn's richly textured indigo Bosworth rug sets the stage for our bright yellows and oranges
A Credenza from Design Within Reach, a modern glass-top cocktail table and a vintage wood sunburst clock
The side table is from Crate and Barrel, the drum is African
Pottery Barn's reclaimed wood mantel tops off the fireplace
We had a bench custom upholstered to serve as a piano bench. A fiddle leaf fig nestles into a textural basket
The yellow chairs contrast with the muted blue tones of the rug
Blue, orange and yellow were the predominant accent colors used in our design
Kilim and textural tribal pattern pillows were sourced on etsy. Built-in shelves were decorated with mementos, new and old

Clean, simple modern shapes prevail in this design makeover
Our most recent home staging projects have afforded us multiple opportunities to get our modern style on big-time. First, a Mid Century modern gem of a family home in La Canada, second, a three-story modern bachelor pad built on a Pasadena hillside, and third, a classic MCM condo in the famed Pasadena San Pasqual complex, the location used as Luke Wilson's apartment in the HBO series Enlightened.
La Canada MCM Family Home
What better complement to a glass on glass dining table than iconic modern Panton S chairs and a couple of Eames molded plywood head chairs? A stretched piece of Marrimekko fabric hangs above a modern buffet.
The built-in kitchen desk just begged for a white Saarinen style chair and jolts of bright color.
A pair of modern lounge chairs and a cowhide rug in the family room.
Pasadena Modern Bachelor Pad:
Two Barcelona chairs, a Saarinen side table and an arc lamp = modern perfection. Art by Stephen Rowe.
A modern white lacquer credenza needs only a few coffee table books and a touch of the natural world, in this case, a burled wood knot and a piece of driftwood.
Bright tangerine chairs in the breakfast nook.
More abstract art by Stephen Rowe and a cowhide rug in the living room.
The dining room's custom metal and glass table is the perfect foil for simple white and wood chairs and arresting art.
A white plaster chihuahua is a playful nod.
In the master bedroom, the Rowe original with Aboriginal influences inspired the dark gray and red scheme. Ottomans at foot of bed by Target.
The family room is mostly white…
… which we accented with touches of bright green.
A guest bedroom off the kitchen shares the same bright orange hue.
A Classic MCM Apartment:
A Mid Century modern style sectional from HD Buttercup in LA pairs with a graphic maze pattern rug and wire Bertoia style chairs.
In the background, IKEA's STRANDMON wing chair, a re-issued classic and a leaning bookcase.
The bedroom's painted headboard proves that DIY projects can have a huge impact on a tight budget.
Just staged an adorable condo in West Hollywood in an Anthro-industrial style. Just steps away from the legendary Sunset Strip and all the nightlife that location has to offer. Imagine stumbling up the hill a couple blacks from your nite-cap spot of choice. Wake up to birds chirping on your private hillside view balcony. Sweet, we say. Sweet.
A statement-piece industrial light fixture shines down on the citron tufted Victorian style sofa, curvy white modern side table and reclaimed wood cocktail table. Underneath it all, a purring cheetah print cowhide adds just a note of glam. Oh, and the vintage repro phone, too.
Strong art for a strong room. A simple industrial floor lamp from Target and a bright orange patterned pillow add the right touches.
We brought in modern white chairs to pair with a capiz shell pendant and mullioned wall mirror.
We just had the opportunity to stage two awesome homes in the Echo Park/Silverlake area of LA. Both homes are in great neighborhoods with off-the-charts walkability scores — we're talking right up the street from majorly cute restaurants, shops, galleries and cafes. Got to use a lot of vintage pieces in each home and even test drive some of our newly-upcycled stuff …
We found the Mid Century modern sofa on craigslist for only $100 (!) and had the cushions reupholstered in a vintage-y nubby orange fabric by Victor at House of a Thousand Fabrics in nearby Atwater Village.
The Navajo fabric wingchair was also a "rescue mission." The sad floral chair was found on the street and given a new life. We love the Navajo fabric, sourced at Mood in LA.
The faux bamboo headboard came from a fab vintage store in LA's Garvanza district. We bought a set of two, painted one black and we're using the other one as-is in another staging — but will paint it black sooon. Can't wait to put these babies together in a room with a nightstand and lamp between them!
We put one of our vintage peacock chairs in the master bedroom, pairing it with a small vintage side table.
In the Echo Park house, we went with a more upscale look — a little less funky and a lot more elegant. The arc lamp was a prize we won in a Lamps Plus giveaway :) And the zebra print cowhide rug was found on craigslist. The cocktail table and Moroccan tray table are antiques.
In the detached studio space, an Airbnb just waiting to happen. We used modular sectional sofa pieces to create just the right configuration and added a Nelson bench repro, "Barce-clona" chairs in crisp white leather, a modern credenza and a graphic cowhide rug underneath it all. Framed textured paper from Swain's Art Supplies in Glendale adds to the gallery vibe.
We just staged the sweetest Spanish style duplex in MidCity, one of the hottest new L.A. areas. Check out our pics.
Urban Outfitters' Either/Or Sofa in mustard yellow brings a ray of sunshine to the room.
We scored a bunch of birch logs from a client who had buckets full of them in their yard. A vintage globe on top of a handmade table makes a sculptural hearth-topper.
Our Saarinen tulip side table knockoff is topped with marble just like the real-deal.
This thrifted basket can be an ottoman or a handy firewood basket when flipped over — or, really, whatever you want it to be. We found the slat coffee table at an Echo Park vintage store, and the peacock chair for just $40 at a thrift shop!
West Elm's linen flax settee (now discontinued in this ikat fabric) makes fine seating with a bentwood chair and an IKEA DOCKSTA.
When the call came to stage a sleek modern space practically in our own backyard — Los Feliz — we jumped. Seeing the home for the first time, our minds raced to all the possibilities of staging it with iconic modern pieces to complement its museum-white walls and angled rooms. Not a square box-shaped room in the place!
Enter our new favorite (super secret local) source for iconic chairs, tables and accent pieces. We styled the living room simply with a clean-lined sofa, thick shag rug, lily-pad style cocktail table and some iconic chairs: Eames molded plywood reproduction and a pair of Bertoia wire chairs (repros, too!). Hits of orange add a top note.
We love the way orange looks in modern settings. Is orange really the new black? We think so.
We sourced the Eames chairs below for a cool $50 each because the backs were disconnected. A quick handyman task later (complete with Gorilla Glue and some new hardware) equals NEW CHAIRS.
A step-down area in the living room is treated to a hip safari theme — pony hide print chair, masculine artifacts and an African walking stick.
We love styling bookcases. We add touches of nature — a manzanita branch, a potted succulent or an interesting piece of coral — because nature is always modern. A modern art table sculpture doesn't hurt either.
On the far wall, we framed highly textured paper we found at Swain's Art Supplies in Glendale and framed in IKEA's glossy gray square RIBBA frames.
The dining room screamed out for a set of four black repro Panton S chairs accented with two white ones. The glass on glass table virtually disappears, highlighting the cowhide rug beneath. Man-glam, you could call it?
Off the dining room, we styled a small office using a vintage Mid Century modern desk and a repro Saarinen tulip chair. IKEA's STRANDMON chair in navy creates a cozy reading nook.
The master bedroom is bathed in neutral brown and taupe with high notes of crisp blue.
We love the versatility of an Eames molded plastic chair repro, especially with wooden dowel legs. We literally use these everywhere.
Nate Berkus designed the comforter, sourced from his line for Target.
The second bedroom became a "play zone" for us. Straddling the line between an adult and child's room, we remained ambiguous, but it all has a sense of fun, doesn't it?
Our beloved Modernica Eames-style rocker in bright red was bought for only $50!
If ever presented with the opportunity to purchase a Scandi-style wooden horse in a sweater, please do so — at once.
We were instantly smitten with this remodeled Spanish-style 2-level flip in Highland Park. Located in a hipster haven and walking distance from the "Rock 'n' Roll 7-Eleven," La Cuevita and the highly-anticipated Greyhound Bar and Grill, there is no shortage of local establishments to frequent.
The bright orange painted mullioned glass door commands attention with an instant graphic punch.
We loved how the staircase provided the visual interest above the couch. No art necessary! On the opposite wall, thrifted baskets create the focal point. With no space for side tables, an oil-rubbed bronze apothecary floor lamp solves this common design dilemma while adding an industrial element to this cozy space.
A white shag rug provides contrast and lightens up the dark hardwood floors. A dark Room and Board-style sofa gives a grown-up vibe to an otherwise playful room. A vintage neon basket unifies the colors used in the space.
Our color scheme for the living room was inspired by the bright aquas of the vibrantly tiled hearth. The MCM lines of the IKEA Strandmon chair are a welcome antidote to the linear fireplace and other rectangular elements of the room.
We kept the styling of the kitchen simple to parallel its modern lines; Repetition was key to accomplish this look. The rusticity of these industrial swivel barstools complement the kitchen's sleek finishes.
A hodgepodge assortment of Eames molded dining chairs and IKEA Tobias chair infuse this dining room with an eclectic collected look. A Greek key rug adds a touch of Regency Chic to the mix. The nature study prints (actually wrapping paper, believe it or not!), are from Baller Art in Silver Lake. For $5 each, they've got to be the least expensive art this size we've devised thus far!
Layered bedding creates coziness on a minimal IKEA Malm bed. Matching white ceramic lamps lend a touch of sophistication to this master bedroom. The colors of this kilim rug tie in the colors of the room's various fabrics.
A vintage white four-poster bed is a a sweet addition to this petite bedroom. A Thonet chair with a flokati seat finishes out this corner.
A coral and white striped rug brightens the room and sets the stage for the room's color palette. An IKEA Tobias chair provides desk seating while taking up no visual space in this small office.
We filled out this artist studio with the homeowners' vintage wooden drafting table and industrial Herman Miller swivel stool. We added a jute rug and sketches to complete the look.
Every now and then we get to work on a property as undeniably cool as this mid-century modern home perched above the ocean in the Pacific Palisades. With floor-to-ceiling windows—and, hello! views!—abound, we were already smitten. As soon as we set eyes on the sleek, understated finishes of the home, we were eager to play with furniture and décor that would look incredibly "Mad Men" with the architectural bones of the house. We were dying to work with the home-owner's original art pieces and vintage Scandinavian sofa, which we were pining over.
The subtle tribal patterns of the pillows on this über-MCM sofa mix up the look for an eclectic feel.
High-contrast books on the coffee table add a touch of sophistication without fail. Seeded glass and weathered branch details are a nod to the coastal locale without being too literal.
To give the office a lived-in feel, we styled a leaning bookcase with statement books and worldly accessories. A ghost chair adds plenty of style without taking up any visual space in this small room.
In the family room, we warmed up the cool tones and metallic finishes of the room with a plush Thom Filicia shag rug we snagged at a steal from—can you believe it?—Home Goods, for a fraction of the original price.
Simplicity was the key in styling this built-in bar, neatly tucked into a corner neighboring the kitchen. We corralled the bar necessities with a round woven basket and kept the rest of the accessories unified in glass for an uninterrupted look. A Manzanita branch adds a touch of drama to an otherwise understated area.
A vintage bust on a stand adds a touch of antiquity to this modern dining space.
The low profile of this platform bed begged for the height and presence of this pair of frosted, fluted lamps. We brightened up the white palette of this room with coral and aqua bedding, colors reminiscent of Palm Beach decor.
A polished chrome Arco lamp and cowhide upholstered seat infuse the otherwise feminine room with masculine energy.
The built-ins of this baby's room called for fresh blues and crisp white boxes to pop off the warm wood tones.
A black-and-white cowhide rug grounds the room and wakes up the pastel palette.
Sunset Junction is just about the best location on earth. A hipster Disneyland, if you will. I mean, Intelligentsia, Naturewell, Art Craft & Vintage Flea Market, Pop Physique, Sunset Triangle (featuring a farmer's market and outdoor movie screenings), Millie's, Lark Cake Shop ( I could go on forever) ALL within walking distance?! The awesomeness is just absurd. We were super excited to stage a duplex on Maltman Ave (by the 99 cents store!). With a huge patio overlooking Sunset Blvd, a completely remodeled interior and eco-friendly xeriscaping all around the property, we went with hipster-MCM all over.
A kilim-style rug always sets a great foundation for minimalist pieces. Some hardcovers we picked up at Alias Books East top the bench-turned-coffee table.
Who says you have to wait until fall for decorative gourd season? We balanced ours on a root table.
A mid-c dining table surrounded by vintage meeting chairs found at a favorite thrift source (Disabled Veterans on San Fernando). The Dalfred stools by the island are a favorite IKEA product. They're so versatile!
Two French doors enclose a sunny office overlooking the heart of Silver Lake.
See that awesome chair right there? Yeah, the amazing peacock one? It was thrifted. The table was an IKEA as-is steal.
A 70s woven throw was also found during a Madison Modern Home thrifting adventure.
The tiniest lamp ever, sourced from LA Resale Company, acts as a bookend for silly vintage books. Do you have a globe obsession like us?
A red, white and blue color scheme in the oh-so-cute kid's room. Complete with elephant head.
The giant patio has enough space for THREE parties! A horizontal slat fence provides some privacy, while retaining a gorgeous view of the hills. We used a sectional deck set and an al fresco dining area.
We recently completed a photo gallery wall installation for a client's living room, and we decided to showcase the process as a tutorial. It's a lot easier than you might think!
Below is the wall in question before the transformation. Blank, tan colored, and just dying for some personalization.
Our clients have three lovely daughters and a whole raft of family photos already framed in tasteful frames. They just didn't know how to display them creatively. Enter Madison Modern Home and a display solution!
Materials you will need for this DIY:
Step One: Measure out the wall space you want to cover. We measured a 10' wide by 6' tall area behind this floating sofa.
Step Two: Make sure you have enough framed photos and art to fill the space, with varying distances between the frames, ranging from 3-6 inches.
Step Three: Measure a piece of kraft paper in your total desired size (We pieced together two sheets to make a piece that was large enough.)
Step Four: With your kraft paper laid out on the floor, start to arrange your art. We used a rectangular grid, where each frame is positioned at the outer edges of the paper. This way, your gallery wall has a coordinated, designed look. With this system, you have more "play" in terms of the spacing between your frames within a rectangular grid.
Step Five: At this point, play around with layout on the paper until you have just the right balance of frame sizes, orientations, colors and subject matter variety,. It works best if your art is an eclectic mix of B&W and color photography, nature scenes and drawings. Be sure to vary the distances between frames in a pleasing way.
Step Six: Once you're happy with your layout, take a photo for reference.
Step Seven: Trace around each frame with a pencil. Measure to determine your center point along the top edge and make a mark there. Then turn the frame over and measure the distance between the top and your hanging hardware, and make an X-mark on the kraft paper where the nail should go.
Step Eight: Make a note on the kraft paper with a description of the art. In this case, "moody bicycle rider." You will need to refer to this later in the process.
Step Nine: Tape your kraft paper template to the wall in the area you want to cover, making sure to measure a level distance from the floor to the top of the paper on each end and the middle (take at least three measurements along the paper to be certain).
Step 10: Now you're ready to hammer in your nails with confidence. Just nail right through the kraft paper.
Step 11: Carefully remove the kraft paper from the wall, gently pulling it through each nail. Keep the paper intact and set it aside. Reference which art goes where by reading your descriptions ("moody bicycle rider"). Hang your art. Voila!
Historic Filipinotown is a neighborhood on the cusp of a major hipster overhaul. Just north of Echo Park, "Hi-Fi" is an obvious progression on the path of LA flippage. We had the joy of outfitting this supercute corner-lot home with a minimalist 70s vibe.
Thrift store embroidery art, shag rug and a MCM floor lamp are just neutral enough for the 70s chevron throw to shine.
The spartan white walls needed some grounding, so we painted a cafe table matte black. African plateau baskets create a fluid motion above the table and chairs, drawing the eye back and forth between the living and dining areas.
Have a tiny nook you're not sure what to do with? Add an Eames chair, a pedestal side-table, a healthy succulent and BAM, you're done (bonus points for a slightly creepy owl print).
We still can't get over the re-release of the Strandmon wing chair from IKEA. It's small-scale but you'd never even know from the looks of it! A Jonathan Adler-esque lamp sits atop its perfect foil — a rusty, vintage stool.
Plants make a house feel like a home. We recommend succulents for those with brown thumbs like us (Although we're trying).
We got the vintage brass sailboat at Pepe's Vintage in Silver Lake.
Graphic throw pillows and a pin-tuck duvet from Cynthia Rowley. Can you believe those side tables came from HomeGoods?!
A tiny patio off the master suite cried out for some casual summertime seating. The orange banding ties into the gorgeous shade on the house behind it.
e've always had a soft spot in our hearts for the community of Atwater, CA. A pocket neighborhood of Los Angeles that captures the best that LA has to offer: small, neighborhood businesses in a Village atmosphere and
friendly walkable streets filled with young families pushing strollers on their way to the Farmer's Market every Sunday.
We had the pleasure of recently staging a couple of rooms in an Atwater home that was redone to perfection. The investors opened up a series of rabbit warren rooms to one big open floor plan to great effect.
Room and Board's Jasper Studio Sofa grounds the room and adds a note of sophistication. We paired it with two Bertoia side chairs, a white shag rug and a vintage Mid Century modern cocktail table. Original art by Jeremy Kennedy (on right) and Gina Kelly.
We found the small black Mid Century modern side table at Pepe's on Sunset and sourced the vintage lamp at a thrift store in Pensacola, FL.

We love built-ins (not just because we love to stage them!) but because they offer so many great storage opportunities. OK, we mainly just love to stage them.
A glimpse into the dining room. We chose industrial style counter height bar stools because the modern kitchen needed a little earthy edge.
Another Jeremy Kennedy original on the left and a vintage French movie poster. We paired dark navy Tolix chairs with one red chair around an IKEA DOCKSTA table.
A couple of annoying detail shots. Bear with us, folks…
hether you spell it Angeleno Heights or Angelino Heights, the consensus is in. It is an awesome neighborhood. With a quick walk to all that Sunset Blvd. in Echo Park has to offer and killer views of DTLA, this is as good as it gets in Eastside LA. We had the pleasure of staging the top floor of a 1905 duplex on Edgeware Road today. Check it out…
We brought in a low sofa in a graphite tone and paired it with a fluffy flokati rug, Rachel made the ottoman out of a Mexican blanket, a plank of wood, a piece of foam and Mid Century table legs.
An Eames shell chair and small red pedestal table fill a corner. A bright needlepoint pillow pulls out the greens and oranges that we sprinkled throughout the home. We sourced the turquoise desk lamp from LA Resale Co.
Tabletop vignettes feature some of our favorite books and an amazing bowl we found at a thrift source.
We used an IKEA STRANDMON wing chair in blue velvet for a corner of the living room. A kilim pillow found on eBay and a sheepskin throw add a dash of color. A vintage pink side table serves the chair, and a B&W silkscreen of skeletons dancing edges up the wing chair a bit.
We found the vintage coffee table for $20 at Berda Paradise, a favorite Silverlake source.
A vintage arc lamp we found at Pepe's Furniture in Echo Park shines overhead and adds a curvy element to the room. We love all the windows and the abundance of light in this space
We outfitted a hallway corner with a Saarinen style tulip chair and a small rug we sourced at IKEA. The silkscreen art was found at a neighbor's garage sale.
The dining room just screamed for a round table, which we fashioned out of an IKEA DOCKSTA painted with chalkboard paint. We paired it with a set of vintage bentwood chairs we found on craigslist.
World Market yellow chevron napkins and simple white plates for the tabletop.
We styled the built-in china cabinet with colorful Fiestaware.
We love the bentwood chairs and the fact that they're a turn-of-the-century match to the home.
A small bedroom became an office with the addition of a MELLTORP table from IKEA, a vintage swivel desk chair and a kilim rug. The orange lamp is a vintage find and the wall clock is circa 1980s, from eBay.
We put a cute kitchen cart into an unused corner and hung framed vintage fruit crate labels above it.
In this bedroom you get a needlepoint owl to watch over you while you sleep and a Jonathan Adler style lamp on a vintage table.
A large deck off the kitchen features a picnic table and Tolix chairs that we painted with Valspar's Mint Gala for this project.

CHICAGO | If not for the players' union, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau and the Knicks' Mike Woodson might be recruiting bodies from the VIP seats.
Thursday night's game with the charging New York Knicks, winners of 13 straight, saw both benches loaded with inactives.
Chicago was without Taj Gibson (knee) and Joakim Noah (foot) while the visitors played without Tyson Chandler (bulging disc), Kenyon Martin (ankle), Amar'e Stoudemire (knee), Kurt Thomas (foot), Rasheed Wallace (foot) and Marcus Camby (foot).
Fortunately for New York, it had NBA scoring leader Carmelo Anthony with all parts fully operational, to make it interesting before the Bulls prevailed 118-111 in overtime.
Super sub Nate Robinson led Chicago (43-35) with 35 points. Jimmy Butler added 22 and 14 rebounds. Carlos Boozer chipped in 13 points and 15 boards.
"Nate was cooking. He's a pure scorer. He hits a couple and it's over," Kirk Hinrich said.
"Nate's our catalyst," Thibodeau was quick to add.
Robinson shot 10-of-18 and had five 3s.
"We want to win. That's where that energy (in OT) comes from — from inside," Boozer said. "Every game will be tough with our talent out. But with all our talent back, you'll see a different story."
Carmelo Anthony had 36 points and 19 rebounds for New York (51-27), now 0-4 against Chicago this season. JR Smith added 28 points and 14 rebounds off the bench.
The upstart Bulls recently snapped Miami's 27-game win streak. It's a habit they can live with.
"There is no shame at all in losing a streak like that," said Knicks coach Mike Woodson.
"The Knicks have been terrific all year," Thibodeau said. "When you have a player like Carmelo, an MVP candidate, you have maybe the best scorer in the league. He's been doing it for a long time. He scores a lot of different ways.
"He keeps a lot of pressure on you."
The 10-year veteran and perennial All-Star came in averaging 28.6 points per game. Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant was next at 28.3. The Knicks' last scoring champion was Bernard King (32.9) in 1985.
Butler stuck to 'Melo' like a wet T-shirt, holding him to 13-of-34 shooting.
"He's such a great scorer. You're never going to stop him," Thibodeau said. "You got to make him work for his shots and Jimmy kept coming at him, battling."
The United Center had been the Knicks' Achilles' heel, losing 20 of their last 23 games there. They blew a 17-point first-quarter lead on Thursday.
"Mental toughness is critical and I like the way our mental toughness is coming around," Thibodeau said.

Some light may soon be shed on the whereabouts of a missing Longview man.
Ronnie Joe Gammage, 27, of Longview, has been missing since December 4.
Longview Police say his pickup was found abandoned outside the Waffle
House restaurant on Loop 281, with one of the tires slashed.
Surveillance video from Gilmer National Bank on December 4 reportedly
shows four people in a car trying to cash a check on Gammage's account,
just 20 minutes after he left the bank. The teller at the bank turned the people
away because they did not have proper identification. The check was
written for $400 to someone inside the car.
Longview police say they have made contact with the people seen in this surveillance video from Gilmer National Bank. Police are not calling the people suspects, but hope they can shed light on what may have happened to Gammage.
Gammage's mother, Frankie Gammage, said "Ron" has an intellectual disability
and would never go for more than a day without contacting her. She says
he also has muscular dystrophy and wouldn't have been able to fight back
if he was attacked.
Ronnie Gammage is 6'8", 265 pounds, and police say he usually dresses
in western attire. If you have any information, call the Longview
Police at (903) 237-1199.
A $5,000 reward is being offered for information in Gammage's disappearance, according to family.

Former TNA knockout Traci Brooks and Frankie Kazarian recently celebrated their four year anniversary of their wedding.
Mickie James posted a special message on Facebook to let fans know that she has now been in the professional wrestling business for fifteen years.
Through Twitter, the Rock reminisced about his Madison Square Garden debut for WWE back in 1996.
Today marks the eight year anniversary of the death of Eddie Guerrero.
Through Twitter, former WWE star Ted DiBiase revealed that he has now been married for five years now.
Prior to becoming the voice of WWE, Michael Cole worked as a journalist for CBS Radio. Presidential nominee Michael Dukakis, who famously lost the election race to George Bush, was his first major assignment. He had to explore the losing side of things in the piece.
Michael Cole will not be on commentary for Smackdown this week. Instead, JBL will be joined on television by Josh Mathews. No word yet on why Cole did not work the event, but there does not appear to be any backstage heat from WWE towards their long time commentator.
Since Miz is someone that the company wants to keep around for a long time, WWE is experimenting with him as a commentator on Smackdown this week, where the former heavyweight champion will be joining Michael Cole and JBL for the entire episode.
WWE purposely had Summer Rae and Rosa Mendes wear similar outfits on Monday Night Raw as a rib to Michael Cole for mixing up the two performers the previous week.
Since they are friends in real life, Michael Cole flew down to Houston this week to do commentary at Reality of Wrestling Christmas Chaos, an event promoted by Booker T. The two of them requested and received permission from WWE to do so.
For some reason, Jerry Lawler was not present on Tuesday when WWE taped the episode of Monday Night Raw that is set to air on December 23rd. Michael Cole and JBL worked the commentating booth as a duo instead.
During Monday Night Raw, a peculiar scene took place where JBL, Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole were taking pictures of themselves. That segment was done because Vince McMahon wanted to take a jab at Barack Obama for doing that at the funeral of Nelson Mandela.

- Accurately reproduce the fullest audio experience of movie, music and game soundtracks
Compared to the 480Mbps provided by traditional USB 2.0, the all-new USB 3.0's 5Gb/s offers 10 times the transfer bandwidth, so transferring a Blu-ray movie takes less than one minute. MSI also has implemented a front panel USB 3.0 port, making the use of an external USB 3.0 device even more convenient.

APS (Active Phase Switching)
Active Phase Switching, APS, technology is an intelligent design that helps to save energy on MSI's mainboards. The underlying idea is to switch off the power supply as soon as no electricity is needed, and when the system needs more resources again, APS will automatically adjust electricity supply accordingly. APS will automatically detect your processor's loading at any given time and save energy accordingly. This is only possible by means of a very advanced power controlling technology. Other than software-based solutions, APS technology stands out from MSI's own research. The specially developed IC chip can operate automatically depending on the demands of the power supply, which is to reduce the total power usage.
Compared to common mainboard which need extra BIOS chips, MSI's M-Flash has a double advantage which doesn't need extra components and secondly, all your BIOS data will be saved in the USB drive. The stored data does not only have backup and upgrade function, moreover it can also be seen as a portable BIOS chip which is actually able to boot up your PC.
- Backup/Restore Your BIOS to/from Any USB Flash Disk
- Avoid Unnecessary Repair Due to Accident Failures During The Upgrading Process
- Earn more BIOS Lifespan by Reducing Unnecessary Rewriting Process
Live Update Online

Live Update Online offers the latest BIOS, drivers and utilities from MSI for automatic updating. Through the user-friendly operation, end-users can update the system easily and increase performance immediately.
SLI technology allows using multiple Nvidia graphics cards in a single computer system with a mainboard equipped with an nForce SLI MCP. Users need an a mainboard with two PCI-Express 16x graphics slots and two matching GeForce graphics cards which are "SLI Ready". Most NVIDIA's PCI-Express graphics cards starting from the 6600 GPU can enjoy the benefits of SLI.
In order to provide customers stable and high quality products, starting from P45 series mainboards, MSI is leading the industry to introduce the world's most advanced power supply component, DrMOS (Driver-MOSFET), which integrates Driver IC, Top MOSFET and Bottom MOSFET into one chip. Except for its outstanding performance in power saving, DrMOS possesses switch frequency which is 400% faster than traditional MOSFET and has great improvement in stabilizing power supply and voltage control. Even under heavy loading and overclocking conditions, DrMOS can still provide the most stable and efficient power supply and quality.
• Instant MB info monitor
• Intelligently auto set clock/voltage of CPU and memory
• Smart Mode: 4 instant OC modes
V-Check Points
The V-Check Points function provide power measurement pins for users to measure the CPU and RAM voltages with a multimeter. The feature can help save advanced overclockers valuable time by eliminating the need for manual circuit modification. The feature can be indispensable during overclocking competitions.

The Week in News: In Rhyme
I have no idea how long I can keep this up, but I thought it would be cool to summarize the week's news in rhyming mode.
Week of May 19,2013
A big tornado swept through town
and made the Oklahomans frown.
But a little dog found on TV
Made the lady frowny-free.
Except for Wolf, he swung and missed,
and got served by an atheist
Obama's speech made a lot of fuss
About the national security apparatus
"Drones won't kill civilians,
Only Arabs by the millions.
But Gitmo's bad and has to go.
Hey, have you seen my prom photo?"
This dude in London went to town,
Speaking hate and throwing down.
His hands were bloody,
His eyes aswirl.
Beaver Cleaver he was not.
But that don't matter, he got shot.
Washington bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
Structures failing all around.
Where's that funding?
Happy birthday, Saul Bass, greatest graphic designer of all time.

Keyboard Cat is a video of Schmidt's cat, Fatso, wearing a shirt and playing an electronic keyboard with its pause.
So remember: 12:01 a.m., May 26. The schedule after that will be approximately as follows: the first animated GIFs from the first episode will appear at 12:01 and a half, people will complain that Netflix is down at 12:02, spoilers will begin appearing on Twitter at 12:03, angry tweets about spoilers at 12:04, think pieces about how this distribution model affects spoilers at 12:05, think pieces about how this distribution model might result in the return of Firefly at 12:06, listicles of 10 more shows that Netflix should revive at 12:07, complaints that these episodes "suck" at 12:08, complaints about haters at 12:09, questions about why people who are so into Arrested Development refuse to watch Community at 12:10, and 25 pictures of cats watching Arrested Development at 12:11.

Before we begin, I just want to take a moment to talk about the attack in Boston yesterday. Now obviously our thoughts and our prayers are with everybody there. And as the President said, we don't know who did this, but they will be found and they will be brought to justice.
But whoever did this obviously did not know shit about the people of Boston. Because nothing these terrorists do is going to shake them. For Pete's sake, Boston was founded by the Pilgrims — a people so tough, they had to buckle their God-damned hats on!
It is the cradle of the American Revolution! A city that withstood an 86-year losing streak! A city that made it through the Big Dig, a construction project that backed up traffic for 16 years! I mean, there are commuters just getting home now!
Even their bands are tough! It is the hometown of Aerosmith, who in their fifth decade are still going strong! Even Steven Tyler looks fantastic… for a 73-year-old woman!
But here's what these cowards really don't get: they attacked the Boston Marathon, an event celebrating people who run 26 miles on their day off until their nipples are raw, for fun! And they have been holding it in Boston since 1897 — and do you know how tough you have to be to run in a whalebone corset?
And when those bombs went off, there were runners who, after finishing a marathon, kept running for another two miles to the hospital to donate blood.
So here's what I know: these maniacs may have tried to make life bad for the people of Boston.
But all they can ever do is show just how good those people are.

Now that we know that The Bluths will come back to your TV on May 26, it's time to gear up for the return of Arrested Development. Netflix knows a thing or two about the art of the tease, aka making Mama horny, Michael. Back in December, AD fans blue themselves over these fake movie posters made by Netflix, and now we're treated to these brilliant prop-based teaser posters for the upcoming 15-episode return. MORE POSTERS HERE, SO GOOOOOD.
The perfect tease. Count me as a hop on.

Colon cleansers are quite simply food, laxatives or procedures, such as a colonic, used to stimulate the bowels into action producing a bowel movement.
Colon cleansers are thought by some to provide relief from toxins that fill our bodies while others believe that colon cleaners are nonsense and a complete waste of time. Some even believe that colon cleansers are harmful to the body as the colon itself was designed to handle a variety of bacteria and works quite naturally.
For those supporters of colon cleansing, it is believed that colon cleaners are good for conditions such as constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, bloating, chronic fatigue, acid reflux (GERD), and even skin and hair problems.
Since most digestive problems are caused by a toxic build-up in the body, it is essential to flush the body of all toxic chemicals. This can only be done effectively with a colon cleanser.
In order to establish a healthy colon, you must regularly clean your colon just like you wash your body or brush your teeth. Food or products meant for colon cleansing are designed to cleanse and scrub the colon ridding the body of the toxins built up and ultimately leading to a healthier and "cleaner" life.
Colon cleansing must be done regularly and often since we are constantly taking in more food which leads to additional build up of toxic waste in the colon.
A common method of colon cleansing is to use specific herbs designed to stimulate action and the colon and get your bowels to move.
A commonly used herb for colon cleansing is senna. It is important to remember that you should not begin a colon cleansing or take herbs without first checking with your physician. At the time of this writing, the use of senna has not been evaluated for use by the FDA but has been used widely for years in more cultural and traditional settings, as opposed to Western medicine, to deal with issues such as constipation or desired colon cleansings.
Besides an herbal supplement colon cleansing other types of colon cleansers include colonics, enemas and cleansing through fasting.
Once you have begun a colon cleansing it is critical to begin to introduce good bacteria into your digestive system. This can be accomplished easily by taking probiotics supplements.
Probiotics are live microorganisms that when taken may improve the microflora of the intestines.
Advocates of colon cleansing believe that once the colon has been cleansed and probiotics have been replaced then the last step is to begin to take herbs, vitamins and minerals and amino acids to completely detoxify every cell in your body.
Once your body has been "cleansed" it is important to prevent your body from becoming toxic again and a healthy way to do so is take a dietary fiber supplement on a regular basis.
Other things that help to maintain a healthy colon include taking probiotics, eating high-fiber diet and daily exercise program.
So do your homework, talk with your physician and decide if colon cleansing is for you.

comparative old-timer; defender Rio Ferdinand.
"We have two experienced players playing right at their peak now," said Sir Alex. "That's Rio Ferdinand and Michael Carrick. Rio Ferdinand's form in the last few weeks has been absolutely fantastic.
"I think Michael's been helped by the energy and determination of Phil Jones besides him. The boy's been quite amazing. But Carrick's performances have been quite outstanding. I think both Michael and Phil help each other."

TEAMS: Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors
By Andrew Wagner, The Sports Xchange MILWAUKEE, Wis. -- Brandon Jennings scored 18 of his 20 points in the third quarter, erasing a four-point halftime deficit as the Bucks beat Golden State, 109-102, Saturday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. After attempting just one shot in the first half, Jennings' back-to-back three-pointers midway through the third quarter were the turning point in what had been a close game to that point. He went 6 of 9 from the field during the quarter, including five three-pointers. Ersan Ilyasova also switched gears in the second half, scoring 12 of his 18 points after intermission while pulling down 12 rebounds. Larry Sanders added 16 and 12 for Milwaukee (23-19), which won for the fourth time in five games and improved to 7-3 under head coach Jim Boylan. Facing his former team, Monta Ellis struggled early, making just 1 of his first 8 shots but finished with 20 points. Stephen Curry had 26 points and 7 assists and Klay Thompson scored 19 to lea...

4. Traveling Power Squat
Targets: back, arms, butt, legs
Stand holding a 5- to 8-pound dumbbell horizontally in front of your rib cage with both hands. Squat and hold for 2 seconds.
Jump up explosively, as if you're reaching over a volleyball net. At the same time, lift dumbbell overhead, arms extended. As you land, bring the weight back toward your rib cage. Do 12 to 15 reps. To modify, stand up explosively without allowing your feet to leave the floor.
Too easy? Try this: Travel a few inches forward each time you land -- this will force you to jump higher in order to propel yourself forward.
