Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?) Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Ralph Graves Staff Writer - Creative, A lot to like Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 9/6/2012 11:10:00 AM There is a lot to like with these headphones. First, they came with a good selection of eartips. I found a pair that fit comfortably in my ears and provided a good seal to keep out extraneous noises in the Crutchfield Labs. Second, the headphones have a stylish, but practical design. The earbuds are almost minimalist, which meant I could barely feel them in my ears. The in-line controller is simple to use volume up and down buttons, with a bigger control button in between. That button controls play and pause. Here's a tip: it also lets you skip forward or back through tracks. Two quick taps for skip forward, three quick taps for skip back. Third, the sound is just what I want in a quality set of portable headphones. The bass full, the highs clean, and there was plenty of detail in the mid-range.

The Upper Darby of Silver Linings Playbook
I liked Silver Linings Playbook, but I also saw it in the best possible circumstances: in suburban Philadelphia, surrounded by suburban Philadelphians, a couple of miles down the road from the Llanerch Diner that had such a starring role in the movie, among other locales of my high school life. A week later, details of the movie's plot have subsided in my memory, but David O. Russell's careful habitation of the setting remains.
There's an inevitable "Where's Waldo" feeling when watching a movie filmed on familiar territory, and my Silver Linings Playbook audience didn't overlook mistakes — Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper should have gotten flattened by near-expressway traffic as they walked across the street to the diner; when they leave, they sometimes manage to turn the corner to a movie theater several towns away. But those shortcuts happen even when movies film on their industry's home turf. (I remember almost nothing of Something Borrowed, except that somehow Ginnifer Goodwin and John Krasinki managed to walk the three miles from the lobby of my financial district office building to the Madison Square Shake Shack in a few seconds.)
What Silver Linings Playbook got right more than anything else was the feeling of the suburbs and the houses where Cooper and Lawrence's characters live with their families — a little cluttered, a little cramped, light-blue collar neighborhoods with yards and sidewalks that usually get overlooked next to the elegant Main Line of the better-known Philadelphia suburbs. Like Cooper's character, I went jogging through that area last week, and Russell managed to reflect it well — it's not glamorous, but it's comfortable and real. Whatever other light flaws I found with the movie, it managed to convince me that the characters were truly at home in a place that was once mine.

Georgian Amethyst & Citrine Cross Pendant
Jewelry of the Georgian era is renown for its sophisticated gold work using far less of the precious material. Floral work became less stylized and more representational and gems such as aquamarine and chrysoberyl and amethyst were employed.
This circa 1830 – 1840 example of repoussé gold work, quite fashionable at the time, is of a large cruciform pendant. Although rather light in weight, the pendant appears to be substantial with its three-dimensional perspective. Set with a central oval faceted amethyst with lovely detailed leaf elements radiating, each of the arms of the pendant displays a beautiful elongated diamond-shaped citrine. Please refer to page 77 of "Jewels and Jewellery" by Clare Phillips for similar examples of period repoussé work.
Measurements: 2-1/2 inches (6.5 cm) in length including bale by 2-3/16 inches (5.5 cm) in width. Weight of 10.6 grams (6.8 dwt).
Condition: Excellent.
Date & Origin: Circa 1830 - 1840 and is most likely English in origin.

HGTV Message Boards
HGTV Feedback Center
Talk to HGTV Community Gal Abby
Love it or List it
I just joined the message boards on HGTV's website for the sole purpose of talking about Love It or List It. I noticed that everyone else who has commented on this show seems to feel pretty much the same as I do about it. I've watched several episodes now and if HGTV is listening to the people who watch this show then it probably won't be back. Part of me thinks this is unfortunate. I don't think it's a bad idea, but for some reason they think we want to see people being rude, obnoxious, and unyielding. Maybe the producers think that a simple remodel or buy process won't be interesting enough without a fighting, difficult, whiny couple treating the professionals like crap. Who talks to their realtor or contractor like that? As usual they underestimate their audience, because I don't think I'm alone when I say that the show would be a lot better if they allowed the couples on the show to behave with a little dignity. I thought they just made a really bad choice in people when I watched the first show, but when I saw that virtually every couple on the show acted the same way I have to believe that they were coached to be awful. Note to producers: you could save this show if you would just encourage the couples to behave like adults and make the remodel/home search the point of the show. At this point, you're losing viewers.
kjb, Welcome to the Message Board!
You feel the same way a lot of others do about this show. I have posted information on how to contact HGTV. Just click on "Contact Us" which is on the right hand side at the bottom of this page. This takes you to the email form and above that is a box.."Live Help: Chat Now." This connects you to a real live person and you can tell them your concerns and ask questions. This is available Monday-Friday until 5pm ET.
I found out about this "chat" last Friday and I contacted them. I talked with a nice young lady who answered some questions I had.

I love this show, it's not my fave but I choose to watch!
Love it or don't watch it! Lol!!
I have to agree with the thought that the negativity of the show is a turnoff. I love the idea, but I get turned off by the intransigence, the rudeness and the overall negativity projected by the couples. Perhaps its simply theater, but after watching a couple of shows, I now deliberately watch something else and then try to come in at the last 10 minutes so I don't have to listen to the awful comments. I just don't watch TV - and especially HGTV - to be put in a bad mood.
Oh my goodness I had to change the show today! the couple was annoying me so much! How can people be so rude and annoying! I hope it was only for the show. BTW it was the episode called A long time coming.This message has been edited. Last edited by: hoanoa100,
NY, at first the concept appealed to me, but after seeing a couple of episodes, I started questioning the wisdom of pouring $40,000 or so into a house you are thinking of selling. I can't see making more than cosmetic changes or necessary repairs on a house unless I'm planning to stay for a long time. And then the unbelieveable behavior of the HO's and the apparent incompetence of the hosts ruins everything anyway.
I am watching this show, which has a pretty good concept, and it's episode "Function and Flow." I am cringing over how rude the woman is. I haven't felt this uncomfortable at watching a show in a long time. She is just awful. I was born Canadian, and "Love It or List It" is giving Canadians a bad name. I totally agree that the homeowners are being coached to be this obnoxious. And it is ruining what could be a good show.
List it will win out. The couples are always over budget on buying and firm on the fix-it budget. With all the repairs Hillary has to make,the couples act as though it is her fault she can't meet all their needs.
It's scripted, RN and the outcome's known in advance. Overall, based on the total episodes to date, it's approximately 50/50 between the love it or list it "decision".
I personally LOVE this show. It is my new favorite. I think the people are impossible but the quality of the host and their abilities outshine the homeowner rudeness. I think it show the true nature of what a lot of professionals are up against in our society.
I've never said this about a HGTV show but I HATE this show! It's so obvious that one spouse is told to want to stay and the other to leave. They are always being very rude to the hosts as well. Speaking of, the hosts really have no charm themselves.
No one decides to sell their house in a two minute conversation, and they wouldn't be able to buy the beautiful house they were just shown because they haven't even put there's up for sale yet. Its just a dumb show.
Please take it away!
I really like the concept of the show but real estate agant is OBNOXIOUS. I have tried watching several episodes but David is so irritating that I've stopped watching it.
Dear Abby/ HGTV, I have attempted to watch "Love it or List it" several times. I find the premise that a professional interior designer would begin a project without quotes and/or contracts with their G.C. to be incredibly insulting to the non professional viewers but especially to the design community. Hillary is a hack, sorry but that's the truth. If the show needs drama, please figure out a way to add some spice without making interior designers look like fools. Thank You.
Hi all, new to the board and was reading about this show and this is just MY opinion on it.
Well I have watched this show for a while and am finding most of Hilary's tasks are NOT delivered.
I have yet seen her complete one task that was given her. She does not allow for any unforeseen problems that may (and always do) arise, then she has to "cut out" something that the family wanted or needed in the house. She always has to use the money for the unknowns and leave things undone or not even touched which I think is ridiculous and would not let the woman near my home at all.
Dave also is to high and mighty for me. To pushy on people to try and sell them a home just so he can make it good off the commission he will get for selling them the house. This show is to much for me and I do not watch it for it is way to fake for my taste.
I just watched 2 eposides back to back and that won't happen again. The concept of the show is great but its so lopsided. Helen is always winning and she barely ever addresses the wish lists of the owners. She just address the first floor and rarely deals with the second floor. On the other hand the counterpart does meet the wish list and the owners never side with him even if he hits the mark which is most of the time. The show is just annoying.This message has been edited. Last edited by: wyndstorm,
I think the lady who is suppose to be a professional, needs to find her true calling. I have not seen one show where she has not been able to get the correctly amount that it takes to do the remodel. On every show the home owner has had to delete some part of the remodel.
she has never been able to deliver what she has promised.
She needs to help Holmes so she can learn how to estimate a job.
i really like Love it or Leave it, but my husband and I have built 5 homes and just once, I would like to see Hilliary get a realistic budget with a buffer amount for things that go wrong along with the owners impossible expectations. Lets face it, you can't remodel a whole basement to include bedroom, bath, and rec room plus an entire upstairs on $ 25,000.00 in an old home. I get disgusted with the rudeness of the owners and tired of them taking $10,000 away from Hilliary and giving it to David, with his pompous attitude, when all he really has to do is talk them into another neighborhood. Realistic budgets would do worlds for this show as the way it is, the owners are just putting a band aid n their home to sell it.
Oops, typo error. Meant List or Leave it. Sorry
Mycomputer keeps changing the words. Should be
not, not or
The concept of this show is such a great idea to which a lot of people can relate, but every episode is repetitive. 1. Hillary cannot do everything she promises because of some "unforeseen" crisis. 2. The homeowners dislike the 1st 2 houses David shows them, then love the 3rd. 3. The homeowners have a fit about the budget problems with Hillary, then they love the re-do. Come on, Producers! Shake it up!! Cannot Hillary do an inspection of the house beforehand and budget accordingly?
I just got done watching this show and it's pretty bad. The episode I saw had a couple that was expecting a kid and Hilary kept arguing with them over the flooring. And at one point she insulted them as new parents, which...I don't even know how that was at all called for, it was something about the bathroom and installing a bathtub or some such. All in all, she's unbearably rude. There was a part where the wife had to take her sun room or whatever off the wishlist and that resulted in this ridiculous argument between Hilary and the couple. The wife kept pulling this weird expression like she had swallowed something exceptionally sour, and the husband acted (haha) like a complete spoiled brat. All in all, everything just feels so overdramatic and badly exaggerated and gross. Oh, and the other host, David, is horrible too. He's incredibly pushy and obnoxious. To be honest, whether everything is scripted or not, I really hope this show comes off the air soon. The concept is interesting, but it's going in a totally wrong direction and I don't think there's any point in salvaging it.
Wow! I am so relieved to find that I am not the only one frustrated by this show! I registered with HGTV just to voice my annoyance. The contrived confrontation and negativity is just ridiculous. The homeowners are not anywhere near good enough actors to pull this off.
I like the premise of the show but most of the time I can't even watch it because it is so utterly phoney.
I feel better now
I agree with these comments completely! Unless it is scripted, there are a LOT of couples who are just so incredibly rude. I think Hillary is a talented designer but David is kind of weird. Why is it that no one seems grateful at the end of the show? The families just don't feel sincere to me. I had to stop watching it because the couples are just obnoxious!
Yep, the negativity in this show is such a turnoff. No other show on HGTV is like this. No other show is this negative and scripted. People who watch HGTV are not looking for shows of this nature. Please take it off the air, and consider your viewers when thinking of ideas/hosts for new shows. HGTV has such a positive and inspiring energy, and this totally gets away from that.
I also joined this message board just so I could comment on Love it or Leave it. I totally disagree with the posts that blame the home owners for rudeness, anger, frustration, etc. If a contractor promised me the sun and the moon and then repeatedly disappointed me by not fulfilling those promises, I would be angry also. This show is exactly the same as Property Bros. They approach the homeowners with grandious idea and very SPECIFIC promises but when the client actually expects those promises to be made into reality, the hosts use excuse after excuse as to why they can't achieve the goals THEY set! I understand unforseen events do occur in any remodel but EVERY show has something go wrong where the hosts are unable to fulfill their obligations. No wonder the homeowners are rude. Don't make promises you can't keep. If either of these shows had achieved the goals they promised their clients and the viewers, I would still be watching. As it stands, I'm cheering for the homeowners who have the guts to stand up to the hosts and say, "Hey, this isn't what you promised me you could do. Why are you telling me one thing and doing another?"
I just watched this show for the first time last night because I found the concept intriguing. If what has already been said about this show being scripted and that the producers instruct the owners/sellers to behave poorly, than it really must be true that everyone in front of the camera today really does just want their 15 minutes no matter what. I wanted to throw my remote at the ungrateful brats of this one episode (Picture Perfect House Problems, Chris and Stephanie). They picked apart every house (except the newly built one, surprise!) their realtor showed to them and then appeared ready to strangle the designer when water damage was discovered in their basement. They should have been thanking her. This would have been discovered anyway when they went to sell and would have reduced their sales price as I am sure they would have chosen not to fix it. How 'bout a show involving a 6 to 12 month follow up on the couples who decided to sell so we can all see their design choices for the houses they bought? I would bet without the help of an interior designer the new houses don't look nearly as good as the homes they sold. There are plenty of other shows on HGTV that include gracious, thankful, and helpful homeowners like the Holmes' shows and Yard Crashers. Love it or List it is not worth watching again.
It's a scripted show! Of course they know about the "unforeseen" problems beforehand but they have to pretend they don't for the drama. I wish that the renovation budgets were realistic for the things to be done and I wish the homeowner was allowed more say in the decisions (maybe they are & we don't see it...again for the drama) but it frustrates me so when Hilary makes a decision such as redoing the basement instead of the second bath without consulting them, I want to scream!!! I'd never give my money to someone & then just let them do whatever they want. Sooooo unrealistic. Great concept but needs improvements.
I really like the concept of this show and i actually like the hosts as well. However, the couples that they pick are so rude!! It's so uncomfortable to watch because it actually upsets you! Thanks to DVR, we actually pause it and just forward to the hosts speaking; we skip the clients parts all together
I hate this show more than I have ever hated a show before. The couples as well as the hosts of the show are all obnoxious. In fact, they are all so consistently obnoxious that it is obvious that the show is completely scripted. I don't know where HGTV finds such great actors among the random public in Canada but somehow they have done it. I watch this network to see great design ideas, not boring bickering and whining. I hope this show's ratings tank and it is cancelled. Until that happens, I will switch the channel every time that horrible show comes on.
I too joined the message boards to comment on this show. I have, and I agree with all of the complaints that have been voiced. I get so angry, among all of the other stuff, when David and Hilary are more interested in beating each other than on providing the homeowners what they have asked for.
It was interesting that a few weeks ago HGTV held a $50000 sweepstakes that you had to watch this show to enter. Are they trying to pay us to watch?
Whew! I thought I was the only one who hated this show (considering it seems to be on all the time now)...
I like the concept, but all this fake tension between the professionals and home owners is really awful. I used to be able to turn on HGTV all day for background while doing house work, reading, visiting with friends, whatever, but now I don't do that any more because LIOLI might come on.
I wonder if the homeowners know they are going to be portrayed as unreasonable and rude, and if so why anyone would agree to do that.
I, like others on here, have joined this site just to complain about this show. I want my all day HGTV back!!! It used to be my escape from all of the hyped-up, overly-dramatic garbage out there these days, but not since this show came on and I want it back!
Please HGTV, I hope someone out there is paying attention to all of these unhappy viewers and will do something about it. Keep the show, just cut out all the fake drama.
Abby Gal, If you have any influence can you get them to fix the emotions? I miss them so much
Craft Happens!
Are we going to be subjected to
5 hours of Love it or list it
on Monday nights all season?
I hope HGTV pays attention to these posts regarding Love It or List It...it is the worst show ever!! Please take it away!...you are losing viewers!
I am getting fed up with this show. I do like it, but it's the same show every time. If I was a homeowner and I gave Hillary tens of thousands of dollars for my reno, I would be extremely pissed off if they found out LATER that they couldn't do this or that. You need to make some changes to the show. Get inspectors in there beforehand so it can be up front what can & can't be done. Also, David ALWAYS finds the ideal house last.
This has gotten old fast. Please make changes. For ONCE, I'd like to see Hillary give the couple everything they want. Can't HGTV add **$ to their budget? These shows are SO cheap for you to make -- ESPECIALLY being in Canada. How about HGTV matching their budget?
Just do something. I'm sick of watching the same show EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Please take this show off the air. It is totally scripted for all the wrong reasons. The hosts are obnoxious. You had so many other good shows that you are no longer running like What is my house worth. In todays market that would be really interesting. I am tired of having Love it or List jammed down my throat every day
Change the channel. If you are getting HGTV, clearly you have cable and likely with at least 50 other channels if not 150 or more. I don't care for House Hunters, you know what I don't watch it. In fact I don't care for most of their programing anymore.
Sorry to be blunt, but really. Also, HGTV doesn't come here looking for programing and/or scheduling suggestions.

I don't watch it anymore. However to suggest HGTV ignores these comments would suggest they don't care about ratings or advetisement dollars.
HGTV doesn't do much with these boards, if you want to kvetch to them you need to use the contact us link at the bottom of the page. They used to police them much better but not so much anymore. If their filter doesn't kick it out it will likely stay.

I just started to watch the show and I guess I don't understand how things work. Who pays the initial renovation budget, the show? the homeowners? I saw one episode with water coming into the basement. They installed a product to let it run under the house--but didn't fix the foundation. In my state, water in the basement or water that gets through the foundation if not revealed to a purchaser is the grounds for rescinding the sales contract. Canadians please answer how this wouldn't negatively affect the sales price. The real estate agent goes on to say how the renovations increased the new sales price, what about the major water problem? They did not fix the foundation so the problem still exists. This is a major decrease in the sale of property in my area and I would have to disclose the issue here in Ohio.
Arbitrary renovation budget that appears to have no relationship to the scope of work and then lame "problems" that cause parts of work to not fit in that budget is offensive. Do they think their viewers are that stupid or do they just not care? My favorite is the plumbing vent that had to move to the other side of the basement when there was already a stack visible within two feet. They had to justify throwing out a major item. Why don't they just say "we used up all of your tiny budget long before we got to the end of your gigantic wish list?
It doesn't seem fair that David can find a home above their budgets, but Hillary cannot spend more than their budgets. Also, how can the value of the houses always increase more than the renovation cost? Houses only get X% increase in value of the cost and X is always less than 100. Are we being tricked and the show gives free labor that is not included in the budget costs?
The truth is out there
I agree with you but I would like to know where I can get a 4th bedroom, a renovated kitchen, a second bathroom and a mudroom, all for $50,000, wouldn't you?? lol
What amazes me is the cost of housing in Ontario Canada. Three Quarters of a million dollars (Canadian) for 2000 square feet.
If you have ever done any remodeling work, it is not unusual to run into unforeseen problems as you get into the project. There are always going to be trade-offs when you do a remodeling project or when you go looking at new houses unless you have an unlimited budget. Also, I've run into different issues here in NC moving from one county to the next. In Wake County a homeowner can pull a permit to do electrical work but in next door Durham County only a licensed electrician can unless you take a test. In both cases since you're pulling a permit it is going to be inspected. Given that, I could see where Hilary could run into an issue like the tree not allowing her to expand the footprint of a house.
I find it interesting that for the most part the new shows on HGTV in the USA are imported from Canada. With the exception of House Hunters what shows are US based anymore? Property Brothers, Love it or List It, Holmes' shows are all Canadian and most are a couple of years old.

One hopes that an improvement to their home will always bring more than the actual cost to rennovate..For instance, we just built a 4 plex for $250k...we were offered $400k from an interested party..
On the show Bang for your Buck, the return on remodel is almost always less than 100%.
The truth is out there
I would agree that most times you will not get 100% of your money back when doing a renovation. However there are many factors that will play into it, location being the first and always foremost in real estate. Second is what are comparable houses selling for in the immediate area. If the neighbors houses have been updated and yours hasn't the value will be discounted .
If you over improve, say putting a $100K kitchen in a $200K house you will not recoup the money. Some things you can do will help you sell the house faster, which is money. On the show they only have David show them what he thinks the house should list for based on comps in the area. They don't show what the house actually sells for but in today's market you can assume it won't sell for more, it also doesn't take into account the cost of selling and moving. This is may explain why Hilary has a better win ratio than David. I assume the Canadian Realtor commission is similar to the US, so these homes that the owners have with $750K values would have about $45K in real estate commission, throw in another $20K for moving and other expenses involved in buying a new house and staying put becomes more attractive.
Generally speaking you don't remodel a house to sell it in today's market. You do paint with neutral colors, replace worn carpet with new neutral colors, declutter, clean up the landscaping, replace anything that is broken or worn but you shouldn't do a major kitchen renovation with an eye on resale. Renovate to stay to meet your needs and desires. If you spent $40K on a new kitchen and live in the house for another 5 years and get enjoyment out of having the new kitchen great. If that $40K expense improves the value of the house by $35K great, if it improves it by $45K even better but don't count on it.

This show makes no sense and as a builder it seems too fake just like House Hunters. My recommendations is to take it off the air.
Saw the first half --- did they love or list it?
I fear Sparky is right. After a year of complaints, no response from Gal Abby and if anything the rotation of the show has increased.
... With little change to address the complaints.

Inspired by the culture and romance of Santa Fe's Canyon Road, this single elegant piece provides you with a wealth of styles. At the center, attached to the elongated enhancer clasp, is an oval mother of pearl drop. The large outer ring features openwork sterling silver accented with marquise cabochons of white mother of pearl. Smaller middle ovals of sterling or brass feature textured Western swirls on one side and a highly polished surface on the other. Wear this mother of pearl drop with one, two, or no additional rings. Switch them out as frequently as you want for a variety of looks both dressy and casual. Enhancer measures 3-1/4" long x 1-1/8" wide. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Santa Fe's version of Rodeo Drive, Canyon Road captures the essence of the city's style -- sophisticated, bold, and elegant. Textured Western detailing in sterling silver and brass glows with the moonlit magic of mother-of-pearl.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

The Power of Soup: 20 Soup Recipes to Warm and Satisfy
Recipe Roundup
A dramatic wind whipped through my neighborhood last night, bringing a blast of soup weather. But I was ready for the chilly temperatures. I've been making soup for weeks now -- remembering how a pot of soup is so satisfying to cook, and so convenient for a week of lunches and suppers. I ladled out black bean soup for dinner three nights in a row, and never got tired of it.
We have 20 favorite recipes to get you started on your own soup adventures this fall. There are colorful recipes, like kale and chicken stew and a creamy soup of Red Kuri squash and coconut milk. There's classic French onion soup, and a slow cooker blend of chickpeas and vibrant vegetables. And don't forget the cheesy potato soup... with bacon!
• 1 Roasted Red Kuri Pumpkin & Coconut Soup
• 2 Cream of Tomato Soup
• 3 Zucchini Garlic Soup
• 4 Roasted Broccoli & Cheddar Soup
• 5 Baked Potato Soup With Bacon, Green Onion & Cheddar
• 6 Tuscan Bread & Tomato Soup (Ribollita)
• 7 Wild Rice and Mushroom Soup
• 8 Hot and Sour Mushroom, Cabbage, and Rice Soup
• 9 Black-eyed Pea Soup with Andouille and Collards
• 10 Curried Vegetable and Chickpea Stew
• 11 Vegetarian Guinness Stew
• 12 Vegetarian Phở (Vietnamese Noodle Soup)
• 13 Quick Udon Noodle Soup

• 16 Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup
• 17 Kale and Chicken Stew
• 18 Beef and Barley Stew with Mushrooms
• 19 Italian Wedding Soup
• 20 Bacon, Kale, & Turkey Stew
3 Comments
I've made the Curried Vegetable and Chickpea Stew three times now with my own tweeks.
My tweeks included the addition of thick sliced mushrooms and diced butternut squash.
Can I say I'm glad Pizza "Week" has ended? The Bacon, Kale and Turkey Stew looks good and I will make it.
Thanks! I will be living off soup this winter both in the dutch oven and crock pot. Cheap and many servings out of one pot.

Partner departures from the fast-sinking Dewey & LeBoeuf have reached a point where it's difficult to track them in real time. We'll focus our coverage on the biggest defections. There are multiple other resources for monitoring all the moves, the latest being the Wall Street Journal's interactive graphic. (Similar trackers are available from Am Law Daily and Thomson Reuters.)
Last week, an internal memo gave Dewey partners the green light to consider "alternative opportunities" with other law firms. Many partners have availed themselves of that permission, with dozens of partners leaving the firm since the memo's issuance. According to Thomson Reuters, about 150 of Dewey's 300 partners have resigned since the start of 2012.
And now one of Dewey's leaders — the chair of the firm's Global Litigation Department, and a member of the multi-partner Office of the Chairman — is departing. Where is he going?
As usual, various UPDATES — including news of another departure by a department head and Chairman's Office member, and additional details of litigators on the move — after the jump.

Timothy F. Richards, Mardigian Library director, honored for University Librarian Achievement
October 28, 2009
DEARBORN / Oct. 28, 2009---Timothy F. Richards, director of the Mardigian Library, received the University Librarian Achievement Award from U-Ms Faculty Senate during a ceremony Oct. 7 on the Ann Arbor campus.
The award recognizes exceptional distinction as reflected in active and innovative career achievements in library, archival or curatorial services, including developing specialized services for faculty and students, improving access to information, efficiently managing library and archival resources (staff, space, funding, collections) or other activities reflecting a commitment to these professions.
Richards was honored for his focus on positioning the library to provide more and better service in support of faculty scholarship and student learning.
Noted for his rare ability to combine deep thought with vigorous action, he embodies the best to which all librarians should aspire: commitment to excellence, vision, and leadership, all guided by humility and humanity, according to the citation for the award.
Richards achievements include his collaboration with colleagues on the Flint and Ann Arbor campuses to provide full access to the Universitys electronic journal holding for all faculty, regardless of their campus affiliation; his efforts to create a green roof for the library to help conserve energy; and his initiation of a year-long project with library staff to reconceptualize acquisition and access practices in light of what will soon become widespread use of eBooks instead of bound copies in academe.
Richards also has encouraged his staff to become involved in the campus community and to pursue professional development opportunities. He worked to create a promotion process that required and rewarded professional engagement both on and off campus. As a result of his efforts, the library is now fully integrated into the decision-making process on campus.
In addition to his work in the library, Richards has been active in a number of professional organizations at the regional, state and national levels and has served on countless committees. He is recognized as a leader in Michigan. Among his accomplishments is one he championed for many years and worked hard to bring to fruition: the state-wide delivery service among libraries that enables them to easily share resources for patrons. His vision became reality several years ago when the Michigan eLibrary Catalog project was implemented.

Wineka column: 'Crazy' Salisbury is definitely the perfect choice for Sleepy Hollow
SALISBURY — Welcome to Sleepy Hollow, where the women are strong, the men are good looking and we're all crazy for Jesus.
Or maybe just crazy.
As you've heard by now, film crews for a television pilot, "Sleepy Hollow," have taken over downtown Salisbury this week — at least at night they have.
Somewhere there must be a Hall of Fame for location scouts — the people who choose backdrops for where movies and television shows are filmed — and right now they are preparing portraits on the wall for the people who decided on Salisbury for Sleepy Hollow.
They found a town right out of "Inherit the Wind."
Think of what they've seen, just in the last couple of days.
On Saturday morning, a bunch of women brandishing rakes, pitchforks, shovels, hatchets and broomsticks marched and chanted down Innes and Main streets.
They were re-enacting the 1863 Bread Riot, when the wives and mothers of Confederate soldiers raided stores in protest of inflationary war prices.
Saturday night, a guy stole a car marked as a Sleepy Hollow patrol vehicle and was later stopped for speeding and driving while impaired. Maybe he was our Mayberry version of Otis Campbell.
Then on Monday night, the first day of full-fledged filming for "Sleepy Hollow," more than 100 people showed up at the marble-columned county administration building to defend Rowan County commissioners' practice of beginning their meetings with prayers to their individual lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Supporters offered many amens, tears and applause at Monday's meeting, as commissioners decided to hire an outside attorney and fight an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit against their sectarian prayer practices all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The song "Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know" rose up from the crowd. A pastor presented one of those freakishly large checks for $10,000 to show commissioners people were ready to back their battle financially.
The same pastor proposed a litmus test for all government officials in the county. Where do they stand on prayer? It's mindful of an exchange between characters Matthew Harrison Brady and Henry Drummond in "Inherit the Wind."
Brady: "We must not abandon faith! Faith is the most important thing!"
Drummond: "Then why did God plague us with the capacity to think?"
One speaker Monday night predicted that with all the spirit and fight in Rowan County, the ACLU eventually will pack up and go home, saying on its way out, "These people are crazy for Jesus."
Others prayed for the ACLU in Jesus' name, although at least one resident charged the ACLU with being started by communists and operating with a left-wing agenda.
Salisbury couldn't be more perfect for a town named Sleepy Hollow.
For television producers, the stars aligned and gave them everything they were looking for — quirkiness, passion, infrastructure, characters, even a bit of small-town craziness.
Finding extras for the TV show will never be a problem.
"Sleepy Hollow," the television version, is supposed to be a supernatural story of Washington Irving's Ichabod Crane, time-traveling between modern-day Sleepy Hollow and the 1800s version, fighting his battles of good vs. evil.
If the pilot succeeds, the rest of the FOX series will be filmed here.
We have what they need. Grand, old churches on every corner. Stately government buildings. Old monuments to wars past. A new burrito restaurant. Even our newspaper office, the renamed Sleepy Hollow Register.
Again, I'm thinking of "Inherit the Wind." I'm picturing myself as E.K. Hornbeck, the reporter a Baltimore newspaper sends down to cover the trial against the teaching of evolution in 1925.
Spencer Tracy's character, Henry Drummond, tells the reporter played by Gene Kelly, "Hornbeck, I'm getting tired of you. You never push a noun against a verb without trying to blow something up."
You might think I'm preparing to blow things up in the space I have left, but I can't.
You have to take us folks in Sleepy Hollow the way we are.
Yes, we live in the past a lot. Yes, we can be overbearing. (Hornbeck once said of Matthew Brady, "He's the only man I know who can strut sitting down.")
Yes, you have to watch us. We might take your car for a joy ride.
Yes, we have plenty of public, good-vs.-evil squabbles, always have.
But overall, we're a friendly bunch, gracious and happy to be Sleepy Hollow for even a week.
We have good people, good restaurants and good architecture. We still have a newspaper. We treat history with respect. We have some courageous, principled residents in our midst — the three plaintiffs in the ACLU suit particularly — but also the commissioners and others standing up for what they believe.
In the end, I think things will work themselves out.
"Sleepy Hollow" will become a popular, long-running series.
We'll eat more burritos.
We'll get more drunks off the road.
And we'll use our capacity to think.
If we don't, only one thing can happen in Sleepy Hollow:
Heads will roll.

Scouting Marquette (13-4, 4-2 BIG EAST)
The Golden Eagles had an impressive non-confernece season, posting a 9-2 record. Marquette's only losses came to Duke and Wisconsin.
Marquette has continued to play well in the BIG EAST, downing Butler, Georgetown, Xavier and Providence. The Golden Eagles two losses came at home against Villanova (63-61) and to St. John's (49-47).
The leading lady for Marquette has been senior Katherine Plouffe, who is averaging 19.6 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. Plouffe has reached 20+ points in seven contests, Marquette is 7-0 in each of those games.
One of the keys for Marquette this season is the Golden Eagles ability to clean the glass. Marquette is averaging 46.9 rebounds per game with a +14.3 rebounding margin. In BIG EAST play those numbers are similar, 42 rebounds per game and a +13.5 rebounding margin.
Keys to the Game w/Marquette:
- Win the Power Forward Position: The Golden Eagles power forward is the to Marquette. Creighton will counter with its best post defender, Sarah Nelson. The battle between Nelson and Plouffe will go a long way to deciding the game.
- Execute on Offense: While it seems obvious, the Bluejays' numbers are staggering. In Creighton's 11 victories, the Bluejays are averaging 17.9 assists and 12.0 turnovers per game. By contrast the Bluejays average 10.8 assists and 13.5 turnovers per contest in the eight losses. Creighton is shooting 45.8% in their wins, 30.7% in the eight losses.

The Bluejays last conference loss at home was on Feb 4, 2012 to Missouri State, 63-55.

- The first 200 students in attendance will swipe their valid Creighton student ID card and receive a wristband, which will need to be kept on for the duration of the WBB game.

- Lost or stolen wristbands and/or tickets will not be replaced.

US says no conference on nuke-free Mideast for now
Saturday - 11/24/2012, 4:41am EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. says a proposed conference on banning nuclear weapons in the Middle East cannot be convened at this point because of current conditions in the region.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a statement released Friday that the U.S. will continue to work to create conditions that could result in a successful conference. But she cited political turmoil in the region and Iran's defiant stance on nonproliferation.
She says the U.S. supports the goal of a Middle East free of weapons of mass destruction. But she said such a conference should discuss a broad agenda of regional security and have some sort of consensus among the nations in the region on how to approach the conference.
The Associated Press reported earlier this month that the meeting, planned for Helsinki, Finland, before the end of the year had been called off. A diplomat, who demanded anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter ahead of a public announcement of the cancellation, said Israel had decided not to attend. Key sponsors had said that the meeting was possible only if all countries, especially Israel, would participate.
Israel declined to participate because of positions taken by Arab countries, the diplomat said.
Associated Press writer George Jahn in Vienna contributed to this report.

Carolina Sky to California: Local duo plans to head out West to launch music career
Gray Wise and Hayes Smith have been playing music together for the past decade.
It started when they were 15 years old.
They each had attended a Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds concert at Davidson College.
At the time, they were strangers. Gray was enrolled at Salisbury High School and Smith went to West Rowan.
It was the music that turned them into friends.
After that, the boys started playing regularly with various friends during open mic night at Las Palmas.
"It was kind of a rotating cast of band members," Smith said. "We were trying to create the same thing they do in New York where if you don't have somebody that's a consistent member you just grab somebody there.
"If we were free, we just wanted to play music."
Throughout the years, their friendship and music has continued to grow despite parting ways during college.
Wise headed to University of North Carolina at Wilmington where he started a band called the Bourbon Boys.
Smith went to Appalachian State University before leaving to attend the The Drummers Collective, a music school in New York City.
"We went out and pursued our own musical interests and then we came back together," Wise said.
When both men found themselves back in Salisbury, they formed Carolina Sky.
It's been about a year since they started performing their mix of alternative rock and county.
Smith said the music has a unique cultural sound.
"You can hear that we're Southern even in my drumming, which is funny because I don't really have an accent when I speak," he said.
Wise, who does the majority of the writing, said their songs are personal and easy to relate to.
"I write mainly from experience and nostalgia," he said. "I write very intently, I want every song to draw out something different in you."
Hitting the road
The duo is planning to move to Los Angeles this summer to launch their music careers.
"We had to go someplace where you can play every night," Smith said. "We also want to be around people who match our artistic want.
During their time in California, the men plan to work with Tim Lefebvre, who has worked with renowned trumpeter Chris Botti, to produce their next record.
"We're working in a huge circle of musicians at this point, this is really on a different level than anything we've ever done before," Smith said.
Their first self-titled EP, produced by Adam Baker of Annuals and Ryan Johnson of American Aquarium, will debut Monday.
The men also plan to dabble in producing by working with a hip hop artist and female vocalist.
"It's fun for us to produce other projects and also be staying true to ourselves," Smith said. "We get to work on a vibrant form of art while gaining different perspectives."
Carolina Sky will have their first performance out west at the House of Blues in Hollywood on June 15.
Getting ready
Right now, Wise and Smith are working to get everything ready for their big move.
"We're trying to get all our ducks in a row and figure out how we're going to get our instruments there," Wise said.
Smith said the duo is lucky because they have "great parents and supportive friends and family."
The men know moving to from Carolina to California is a risky step, but they're ready for the challenge.
"If this is something that I thought we had a slim chance at I would've given up a long time ago," Wise said. "We decided to move to L.A. because we want to be in a city that has opportunity and California is always five years ahead."
Wise said he originally planned to attend law school, but decided to chase his dream instead.
"I hated who I had become," he said.
Hayes said that's why he ditched school at Appalachian to study at the Drummers Collective.
"I always knew this is what I wanted to do," he said. "I felt pressure to get a degree, but the reality is the decision that I'm making for my life now is a better one."
The duo said they have no plans to become famous, in fact, they'd rather not .
"We just want to make a sustainable living doing something we love," Wise said.
Smith said the pair wants to make an impact.
"One thing that we're really trying to do is not create a Nashville record in L.A., but a Southern record in L.A.," Smith said. "What we are basically going for is a big Southern sound with a city kind of musicianship vibe.
"It's appealing to people on a more complex level, but the undertone is simple."
The men plan to use KickStarter, a popular online fundraising platform, to solicit cash to market their work.
"Just having a Facebook page isn't enough," Wise said.
Finding their voice
Both Wise and Hayes have been playing music for as long as they can remember.
Wise sang in the chorus and played in band during middle school before learning guitar.
He decided to pursue a career as a professional musician after finding out his grandfather had passed up a chance to record in Nashville in order to support his family.
"That's my biggest drive right now," Wise said. "I didn't feel this way that until my grandfather was on his deathbed. The first time he heard my music was in the hospital in 2011 and he started crying."
Smith caught the music bug when he found his father's snare drum in his grandparents' attic.
"My dad always wanted to be a drummer, but he didn't think being a musician was a viable way to earn a living," he said. "He only played a couple of times."
At first, Smith said drumming was a way to get out his frustrations.
"I turned this extremely negative thing into an exceptionally rare artistic form," he said. "I can certainly say I sound like me."
Wise said it's taken a lot of dedication and perseverance to get to this point.
"It wears on you," he said. "We do a lot of work, but we don't get paid for it.
"Finding your voice takes a long time."

NBA center Dwight David Howard Jr. is beginning the next phase of his career with a new team and in a new town. Having spent the 2012/2013 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, which was shortened due to his back surgery, Dwight became a free agent on July 1, 2013 and announced his decision to join the Houston Rockets on July 5. He is now poised and ready to bring his skill, athleticism and "Rocketman" talents to the court joining James Harden, Chandler Parsons and NBA Hall of Famer, Coach Kevin McHale. He is extremely excited about joining the Rockets and says, "I put in a lot of work to get to the NBA and to be successful in this league. I'm just grateful to have the opportunity to play with so many outstanding players and to show the fans in Houston what I have to offer."
Dwight Howard's resume belies his 27 years of age. In eight seasons with the Orlando Magic, he averaged a double-double of points and rebounds – accumulating thirty-one (31) 20 point/20 rebound games and four (4) 30 point/20 rebounds efforts and once a pinnacle 32 points 25 rebounds and 10 blocks (largest stat line in 20 years). He is a seven time NBA All-Star, an Olympic Gold medalist and the first player in NBA history to earn the honor of NBA Defensive Player of the year for three straight seasons. Only Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace, with four each, have won the award more times.
Dwight's exuberance is as electrifying to fans, as is his physical prowess is. Simply put, Mr. Howard is one of the best examples of power and personality that the NBA has seen in decades and his hard work has earned him the respect and admiration of his peers and predecessors His enthusiasm both on and off the court stems from a genuine appreciation for life. Dwight shares, "I'm just blessed to be alive. My mom lost seven kids. I was supposed to be the eighth kid to die. The doctor told her I wasn't going to make it either. So I'm just happy to have life and I'm going to show that every day."
Like his smile, Dwight's unique star shines worldwide. Despite his age, he is recognized as an international ambassador for today's NBA. On the court he helped return the USA to Olympic glory in Beijing as a prestigious member of 2008's Gold Medal earning "Redeem Team." Off-court he consistently tours the globe in efforts to expand the league's charitable reach. And he has established his own charitable initiatives as well.
In 2011 the NBA Community Assist Award winner expanded his focus and launched the D12 Foundation whose mission is to "plant seeds, cultivate them and watch them grow." The D12 Foundation is determined to change the lives of youth in American and International communities one day at a time. The foundation maintains four pillars when implementing projects: (1) to promote education; (2) to sow seeds of generosity; (3) to champion leadership and inspire dreams; and (4) to inspire hope and recovery in unexpected times.
The D12 Foundation supports many organizations that include establishing a Teen Playroom at the Walt Disney Pavilion at Florida Hospital for Children, support of the Beta Center in Orlando, FL and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and a school lunch program at Lake Como Elementary through Blessings in a Backpack. His international support has touched the lives of youth in Haiti with school programs and lunch programs after the devastating earthquake, and the establishment of two schoolgirl dormitories in the Republic of Tanzania. After the devastating tornados in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Dwight and the D12 Foundation rolled up their sleeves and helped rebuild homes, stock supplies and supported the town in hope with a BBQ to take their minds off the pain of losing loved ones. The D12 Foundation also continues generous support of the Dwight D. Howard and Sheryl H. Howard Foundation established by his parents to support education and youth development in his hometown in Atlanta, GA.
The NBA Hall-of-Fame is a goal for Dwight Howard. And he plans to achieve much more, including an NBA championship, in his career. However, the newest member of the Rockets knows that being successful is more than stats, championship rings and accolades. "I have a great opportunity to become one of the best big men to ever play the game," Dwight says. "Playing in Houston and having the opportunity to be coached by Kevin McHale, work out with Hakeem Olajuwon and play with James, Chandler and the rest of the team is something I am looking forward to. However, I do want my legacy to be bigger and better off the court than it is on the court. I want to help people. And basketball is just a platform for all the things that I want to accomplish in life."
