Feinsand: Yankees will not retain first base coach Mick KelleherPosted by: | Comments
Via Mark Feinsand: The Yankees will not retain first base coach Mick Kelleher. He also served as the team's infield instructor. I'm pretty sure Kelleher's contract was up, so they technically aren't firing him. They just aren't bringing him back. Kelleher had been the team's first base coach since 2009.
Feinsand: Yankees fire hitting coach Kevin LongPosted by: | Comments
Via Mark Feinsand: The Yankees have fired hitting coach Kevin Long. GM Brian Cashman signed a new three-year extension today and it seems they waited until that was complete to announce any coaching changes. First base coach Mick Kelleher was also let go. Joe Girardi said Long and the rest of the staff were going to be evaluated soon after the end of the season, though that's no different than every other season.
Long, 47, is essentially being scapegoated for the team's underperforming offense. He took over as hitting coach in 2007 and the Yankees led baseball with a 113 wRC+ from 2007-12 before falling apart these last two years, when, not coincidentally, the quality of the players on the roster went down. Brian McCann was the only regular this year to perform well below reasonable expectations. No word on who will replace Long, but I'm sure that's something the Yankees want to address sooner rather than later. Double-A Trenton hitting coach Marcus Thames is someone to keep in mind.
It's official: Yankees sign Brian Cashman to new three-year contractPosted by: | Comments
The Yankees have re-signed GM Brian Cashman to a new three-year contract, the team officially announced. The two sides had reportedly been talking about a new deal for a few weeks now. This is Cashman's fifth straight three-year contract. No word on the value, but his last deal was worth $9M total and I'm sure he got some sort of raise.
Cashman, 47, has been the team's GM since 1998 and the Yankees are literally the only employer he's had in his adult life. He started with the team as an intern way back in the mid-1980s. I don't really mind that Cashman is coming back, he seems to consistently come out ahead in trades, but the strategy of throwing money at free agents to plug every hole has to change. Free agency isn't what it once was and that approach just isn't as effective as it used to be.
King: Long-time scout Gordon Blakeley leaves Yankees for BravesPosted by: | Comments
Via George King: Long-time pro scout Gordon Blakeley has left the Yankees for a position with the Braves. He will be a special assistant to their new GM whenever they hire a permanent replacement for the recently fired Frank Wren. King says Blakeley's contract was up later this month. "I was with the Yankees a long time. But this is a new challenge, and I am looking forward to it," he said.
Blakeley held a few different positions during his 21 years with the Yankees, including VP of Baseball Ops and head of pro and international scouting. Blakeley had been working in the pro scouting department since 2004, focusing mostly on Latin American prospects. He was the scout who originally signed Robinson Cano, Orlando Hernandez, Jose Contreras, and Phil Hughes, among others. VP of Baseball Ops Mark Newman is retiring and some other player development folks are said to be on the chopping block, so there will be a lot of turnover among the head farm system honchos this winter.
Olney: Yankees working on new deal with Brian CashmanPosted by: | Comments
Via Buster Olney: The Yankees have started the process of putting together a new contract for GM Brian Cashman. His current deal expires at the end of the October but this is something they have to take of sooner rather than later so they can begin mapping out the offseason. A few weeks ago we heard the Steinbrenners wanted to bring Cashman back despite their second straight postseason-less year.
"My stuff's not really resolved, so there have been no discussions just yet," said Cashman to Chad Jennings when asked about offseason plans over the weekend. "That will all wait for another day. I don't want to talk about game-planning or focus, what should or shouldn't be looked at. I'll wait until we all sit down with ownership, they can map out their strategy and who's going to be a part of that, and we can go from there."
Cashman has been the GM since 1998 and that's an eternity in GM years. There are plenty of strong arguments for both keeping him and finding a new GM, but, either way, the Yankees need to make some changes to their team-building approach because the whole "throw money at free agents" strategy doesn't work like it once did. The game has changed and the Yankees have yet to keep pace.
Rosenthal: Eppler will not interview for D'Backs GM positionPosted by: | Comments
Via Ken Rosenthal: Yankees assistant GM Billy Eppler will not interview for the vacant Diamondbacks GM position. Arizona confirmed he was on their list of candidates soon after firing GM Kevin Towers last week. Eppler interviewed for the Padres GM job earlier this summer and was reportedly the runner-up to the since-hired A.J. Preller. He was also the runner-up to Jerry Dipoto for the Angels GM position a few years ago.
I think it's only a coincidence we're hearing Eppler will not interview for the D'Backs gig the day after reports surfaced that VP of Baseball Ops Mark Newman is retiring and a "complete overhaul" of the player development staff may be coming. Based on the typical power structure throughout baseball, going from assistant GM to some sort of top player development position would be, at best, a lateral move for Eppler. His decision not to interview may simply have to do with the uncomfortable situation in Arizona, where Tony La Russa appears to be calling the shots and will be looking over the new GMs shoulder constantly.
The Yankees will likely have a new voice running the farm system next year. Vice president of baseball operations Mark Newman is believed to be retiring after the season, reports George King. The team has not made an official announcement and both Newman and Brian Cashman declined to comment on the matter, so this isn't final just yet.
Newman has been with the Yankees since 1988 and has been running the farm system for the last 15 years. He came under some scrutiny last season when Hal Steinbrenner was unhappy with the team's player development system. King says there is some belief the Yankees would decline to renew Newman's contract after the season even if he doesn't decide to retire. Sounds like he's a goner either way.
The Yankees tend to promote from within, so it's no surprise that King says special assistant Trey Hillman is expected to replace Newman. Hillman, who managed the Royals from 2008-10, rejoined the Yankees this past offseason. He managed in the team's farm system from 1990-2001 and has also spent time managing in Japan. Hillman spent this season working with minor leaguers, I believe.
In addition to Newman, the Yankees are also likely to cut ties with director of player development Pat Roessler after the season, according to King. He has been in that role for quite a while now. King says former Yankees hitting coach Gary Denbo will likely replace Roessler. Denbo has been with the team as a scouting and player development consultant since 2009.
The Yankees only made what they called "procedural" changes late last year after reviewing their farm system, and many fans (myself included) weren't thrilled about that. Procedural changes are boring because we can't actually see them at work. Replacing Newman and Roessler would be substantial changes to the player development system though. I have no idea how qualified Hillman and Denbo are for those positions, but they will bring new voices, and hopefully that leads to some production from the system. The Yankees definitely need it.
Update: Newman has already informed Hal Steinbrenner that he intends to retire, according to Mark Feinsand. Steinbrenner plans to conduct a "total evaluation" of the player development system that could result in a "complete overhaul" after the season. Feinsand says Denbo, Roessler, amateur scouting director Damon Oppenheimer, and player development staffer Jody Reed could all be replaced. Furthermore, Feinsand hears any replacements are expected to come from outside the organization "as the Yankee brass believes that new ideas and a new direction are needed."
Billy Eppler named as candidate for Diamondbacks GM jobPosted by: | Comments
Yesterday morning, the Diamondbacks officially fired GM Kevin Towers in the wake of their massively disappointing season. (Towers spent 2010 working as a special advisor with the Yankees, so I suppose there's a chance he could return to the team in some capacity. He and Brian Cashman are very close.) During a conference call with Nick Piecoro, D'Backs exec Tony La Russa named Yankees assistant GM Billy Eppler as someone on their list of GM candidates.
Eppler was reportedly a finalist for the Padres GM job earlier this summer, though San Diego eventually went in a different direction. He was also the runner up to Jerry Dipoto for the Angels GM gig a few years ago. The Yankees gave Eppler permission to interview with the Padres and I have no reason to think they won't allow him to speak with Arizona. He's been with the Yankees since 2004 and was the director of pro scouting from 2005-11 before being promoted to assistant GM. It's only a matter of time before Eppler becomes a GM, and with the Yankees likely to re-sign Cashman after the season, chances are that opportunity will come with another team.
Heyman: Yankees intend to offer Cashman a new contract after seasonPosted by: | Comments
Via Jon Heyman: The Yankees intend to offer Brian Cashman a new contract once his current deal expires after the season. Hal Steinbrenner was non-committal when asked about the future of his GM last month, but Heyman says ownership does not blame Cashman for what is likely to be back-to-back years without the postseason.
Now, just because ownership wants Cashman back doesn't mean he will come back. He could always move on to another team if he wants a new challenge or something like that, or he could be burnt out after such a long tenure. Cashman has always been extremely loyal to the Yankees though — they are literally the only employer he's had in his adult life — and I would be surprised if he left for another club. Either way, Cashman or no Cashman, the Yankees have a lot of work to do to get the team back to perennial contender status. I don't think they're one or two more free agents away at this point.
Hal on Cashman: "Let me get to October …. and we'll go from there"Posted by: | Comments
Via Ken Davidoff: Hal Steinbrenner was non-committal yesterday when asked about retaining Brian Cashman after the season. "We're so busy right now, trying to figure out who's going to be playing in any given game, much less that," said Hal. "We'll be talking about that soon enough. But you know me. We've got enough things to worry about during the season. That's where our focus needs to be. Let me get to October — hopefully the end of October, beginning of November — and we'll go from there."
Cashman's contract expires after the season and historically the Yankees have let his deals play all the way out before re-signing him. I agree with Davidoff that Hal's comments were more about the owner having a lot on his plate at the moment — including picking a new commissioner — than a non-endorsement of Cashman. I do think the Yankees need to get serious about changing their team-building strategies because paying premium dollars for (the decline years of) free agents and having a top-heavy roster flat out doesn't work anymore. They need more from the farm system and have to do a better job of avoiding bad players. No more Brian Robertses or Zelous Wheelers, guys like that. That has to start this offseason or else the franchise will make no progress towards returning to contention.

Early Years
Coleman was born into slavery early in the 1830s, probably in North Carolina. The names of his parents are not known. He grew up on a Person County farm owned by William Bailey, who later sold him to Joseph Pointer, another county farmer who owned sixty-seven slaves in 1860 and who may have brought him to Virginia. Coleman learned to read but not to write. He was married, probably by 1858, to a woman named Amanda, a Tennessee native, born about 1839, whose maiden name is not recorded. They had at least one son. It is not known when or under what circumstances Coleman secured his freedom nor when he came to Virginia. His name first appears in the Halifax County tax records in 1869, and by the next year he was working as a carpenter. In June 1872 he bought at public auction 150 acres of land, for which he paid $982.50. The county court approved the deed and conveyed it to him in March 1875.
Political Career
Of major concern to Coleman and the other House members was the crushing state debt created during the antebellum period to finance internal improvements. Conservatives were divided on how to pay the debt. One faction, called Funders, advocated full payment to preserve the state's honor and credit rating, while Readjusters proposed paying only a portion and funneling remaining resources to distressed sectors of Virginia society. The controversial Funding Act, passed in March 1871 to remedy the fiscal crisis, only deepened the state's financial woes. Coleman was on authorized leave when the House voted on December 15, 1871, to suspend the act, but on January 5, 1872, he voted with the majority in favor of a joint resolution to discontinue the issuance of bonds for funding the public debt. He voted with the majority on March 2 to override the governor's veto and pass a bill prohibiting the use of bond coupons to pay taxes and debts, thereby repealing a key provision of the Funding Act. Coleman did not stand for reelection in 1873. In November of that year he sat on a Halifax jury.
In August 1875 Coleman served on the Resolutions Committee at a Richmond convention called by black legislators to address the lack of jobs. About one hundred African American delegates from across the state formed a short-lived Laboring Men's Mechanics' Union Association, adopted a resolution supporting readjustment of the state debt, and called for better educational opportunities for black children. In November 1875 Coleman unsuccessfully ran for another term in the House of Delegates but finished fourth in a field of six candidates. He did not again seek a seat in the General Assembly.
Later Years
In June 1883 Amanda Coleman died of consumption (probably tuberculosis), and by April 1888 Coleman had married a woman named Mary, whose surname is undocumented. Asa Coleman last appears in the public record on February 24, 1893, when he deeded to his wife and his other heirs his remaining eighty-nine acres, his house, furniture, all personal property, and a cow and a calf. The date and circumstances of his death are not known. He was buried in the Coleman family cemetery near Virgilina, in Halifax County, but his grave marker is no longer legible.
Time Line
early 1830s - Asa Coleman is born enslaved, probably in North Carolina. The names of his parents are unknown.
1858 - By this year, Asa Coleman has married a woman named Amanda, a Tennessee native.
1869 - Asa Coleman's name first appears in Halifax County tax records.
December 6, 1871–April 2, 1873 - Asa Coleman serves in three sessions of the House of Delegates representing Halifax County. He sits on the Committee on Asylums and Prisons.
June 1872 - Asa Coleman buys at public auction 150 acres of land, for which he pays $982.50.
November 1875 - Asa Coleman, of Halifax County, unsuccessfully runs for another term in the House of Delegates, finishing fourth in a field of six candidates.
June 1883 - Amanda Coleman, wife of Asa Coleman, dies of consumption (probably tuberculosis).
May 11, 1888 - Asa Coleman, chair of the Halifax County Republican Party, attends a meeting of the Sixth District Republicans at Liberty (later Bedford City), in Bedford County.
February 24, 1893 - Asa Coleman deeds to his wife and his other heirs his remaining eighty-nine acres, his house, furniture, all personal property, and a cow and a calf. He dies sometime after and is buried in the Coleman family cemetery near Virgilina, in Halifax County.

WEDNESDAY, Jan. 26 (HealthDay News) -- Screening rates for the
the United States among young black and Hispanic women than among
young white women, which might explain why black and Hispanic women
have higher reported rates of the disease, a new study
Researchers who analyzed data from more than 40,000 visits to
health-care facilities found that young Hispanic women were 9.7
times more likely to be screened for chlamydia than young white
women. The screening rate was 2.7 times greater for young black
The investigators also found that:
The study was published online Jan. 24 in
"For some common conditions like breast cancer, white women are more likely to receive a screening test like mammography," the study's first author, Dr. Sarah E. Wiehe, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine, said in a university news release. "For chlamydia infections -- which are highly stigmatized STDs -- white women are less likely, while minority women are more likely, to receive screening," she noted.
"This may mean that providers make judgments about a woman's likelihood of infection based on her race or ethnicity," Wiehe added. "Yet in an asymptomatic condition like chlamydia, all sexually active young women should be screened."
She said that pediatricians, internists, family doctors and
gynecologists must be encouraged to conduct chlamydia screening for
all sexually active young women under their care.

Ukrainian Mining Industry Outlook – Market Opportunities and Entry Strategies, Analyses and Forecasts to 2016
- Language: English
- 143 Pages
- Published: July 2012
- Region: Ukraine
As part of the OECD Eastern Europe and South Caucasus Initiative, a sector competitiveness review was conducted for the Republic of Ukraine to improve sectoral competitiveness and enhance its policy convergence with OECD investment instruments. The Sector Competitiveness Report is part of a wider project following a three-phase approach over five years (2009-14): first, by developing a sector competitiveness strategy (Phase I), secondly, by implementing specific aspects of the recommended policies to address the existing constraints (Phase II), and finally, by putting in place the mechanisms to embed sustainable reform (Phase III). The aim of the first phase of the project, co-financed by the Swedish International Development Agency and the Polish government, is to enhance the country's productivity level by identifying policy barriers that should be removed to boost the competitiveness of selected economic sectors.
This report constitutes the output of the first phase of the project. It identifies the sector-specific sources of competitiveness for agribusiness, energy-efficiency and renewable technologies, and aircraft sectors and draws up a list of recommendations on how to overcome the structural weaknesses that are currently hampering growth. The report is the result of a collaborative effort with the Ukrainian authorities and representatives of the private sector. It should facilitate the prioritisation of a strategy for the country and pave the way for a series of structural reforms that could lead to sustainable long-term economic growth. The scope of this report does not extend to macroeconomic reforms; however it is helpful to underline that sound monetary and fiscal policies remain a prerequisite for putting the country firmly on the map of foreign investors, especially given the current risk-averse attitudes of most investors.
This review of competitiveness and private sector development in the Ukraine provides a solid base for policy analysis and gives recommendations with immediate relevance and applicability. It includes diagnosis and policy actions for policy makers and advisors, offering policy responses to underpin economic diversification, enhanced competitiveness and private sector development. Finally, the book applies an innovative framework to identify barriers that hinder the development of selected sectors. It offers the design and suggests ways to implement specific policies to remove those barriers, including the selection and business analysis of Ukraine's most attractive sectors in terms of competitiveness and FDI appeal.

The First Round
By the Elias Sports Bureau
How do we top this?
The NBA playoffs have gotten off to such a rousing start, that commentators have all expressed what our eyes have suggested: That we're in the midst of the greatest first round of the playoffs in anyone's memory. Do the numbers support that conclusion? Read on.
A bit of history: The NBA traces its history to 1946 (it was known as the Basketball Association of America -- the BAA -- prior to 1949), and has used a number of different playoff formats over the years. But as the league expanded to its current total of 30 teams, the formats evolved until, in 1984, the total of teams participating in the playoffs was increased to 16, where it has remained. The eight first-round series in which those teams participate were contested under a best-of-five format through 2002; the current best-of-seven format was implemented for the 2003 playoffs.
So this is the 31st season in which the first round has included 16 teams, presenting a two-week smorgasbord of basketball that fills most every hour of every evening and all day long on weekends. This year's presentation has been marked by a remarkable number of close and competitive games, and by the extraordinary degree of success earned by teams playing on the road. Let's look at those elements discretely, or, in hoops terms, "in isolation."
Overtime Games
The highline number through the first 11 days of the playoffs is the total of overtime games played -- eight, which is a record for any round of the playoffs in any season in NBA history. (The previous high was the six overtime games played in the first round of the 2006 playoffs.) There have been four straight overtime games in the Thunder-Grizzlies series, three overtime games in the Trail Blazers-Rockets series, and one in the Bulls-Wizards matchup.
In fact, there has been only one other playoff series in NBA history in which an extra period was required in order to determine a winner in as many as three different games. (That was a Bulls-Celtics series, also in the first round, five years ago, in which there were four overtime contests. Though the Bulls won three of the overtime games, the Celtics took the series, four games to three.)
Margin of Victory
But there are other indicators of close games. If you include, in addition to games decided in overtime, any games that were decided by a winning margin of five-or-fewer points, 18 of the 36 playoff games played through Tuesday night qualify. Think about that: Through the first 11 days of the playoffs, the same number of games had been decided by five-or-fewer points, or in overtime (a total of 18), as had been decided by six-or-more points (18).
You have to go back to the 1957 playoffs -- when Red Auerbach directed the Celtics to their first championship, with the team led on the court by veteran Bob Cousy and rookies Bill Russell and Tom Heinsohn -- to find the last year in which more playoff games were decided by five-or-fewer points, or in overtime, than were decided by six-or-more points. But keep in mind that in 1957, the NBA was an eight-team league, and that the entire postseason consisted of only 17 games (which included a seven-game Finals). But, for the record, of those 17 games, 10 met the standard of a "close game" as outlined above.
Road Success
The efficiency -- dare we say "dominance" -- of teams playing on the road has also exceeded past measurements. An NBA-record 21 of the first 36 games played were won by the visitors, a winning percentage of .583. To put that figure in perspective, consider that prior to this year, the all-time winning percentage for road teams in NBA playoff games was .338! In only two of 67 past years have road teams finished the playoffs having won more games than they lost -- and they finished just one game above .500 in each of those years. (In 1966, road teams went 14-13, for a winning percentage of .519; and in 1981, road teams went 27-26, for a .509 percentage.)
Put all of those factors together and we have seen breathtaking competition throughout the first round. Through the first four games of each series, five of the eight series stood even at two wins apiece. That's the highest total of first-round series standing at 2-2 since the best-of-seven format was introduced in 2003. We should mention, however, that back in 1984, the first year in which there were eight first-round series and when the format was still best-of-five, six of the eight series were tied at 2-2 and went to a winner-take-all-game -- a record for the most winner-take-all games in the first round of the playoffs. With only two series wrapped up this season, wouldn't it be nice, and fitting, for the greatest first round in the history of the NBA playoffs to match that total of six winner-take-all games? Stay tuned.

beyerdynamic DTX 101 iE Earphones
" In short: + Stylish looks + Comfortable + Powerful bass reproduction, flat but present mids, rolled off yet detailed and even sparkly highs, usually good separation + EQ-able +- "Dark" sound signature, tends to favor the bass and lower mids.

beyerdynamic DTX 71 iE Earphones

Beyer Dynamic DTX 100 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
" Beyerdynamic's dtx100 is their top of the line dynamic driver iem. It has a bass driven sound very similar to the 60/80 which is a signature I like. Bass heads may be left wanting as will detail freaks but they are fun with a punchy attack and very user friendly. They exhibit marginally less bass than the 80's but extension is, if anything, better, as is clarity. Because of this bass..." --Marcus_C
Beyer Dynamic DTX 60 SW Premium in Ear Buds (Black)
"Beyerdynamic's dtx60 is a dynamic driver iem sitting below the dtx80/100 in the range. It has a bass focussed sound which may be fine for some people but I don't enjoy massive bass when there is little definition which is what this earphone is lacking in that department. Mids and vocals are fairly well presented however and come across as good for the price. Highs to me seem harsh rather than..." --Marcus_C

Huge 44D boobs on sexy BBW women, 44D tits porn
Why can't we derive nutrition from tits? I mean, we technically could and all, but that kind of feeding is frankly just a bit gross. But what if you could take, say, a pair of 44D boobs and suck and lick at them all morning long before jumping into the car and heading off to work and feeling fed? Perhaps it just takes a bit of experimentation. Like, ever wonder why in some clinical studies people taking placebos actually get better? Maybe if you really believe a bulging rack of D-cups will nourish you it really will. Food for thought.

CME expanding hours of grain-contract trading
By DAVID ROEDER Business email@example.com May 18, 2012 9:40PM
Updated: July 1, 2012 12:22PM
The owner of the Chicago futures markets said Friday it will immediately implement expanded hours for trading of grain contracts, overriding objections of some that the move will make prices more volatile.
CME Group Inc. said the new schedule will take effect Sunday night for Monday's business. It calls for trading in corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, ethanol and other agricultural contracts to be available electronically all hours except 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The owner of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade took action swiftly once federal regulators approved the new hours. CME is trying to defend its market share in grain trading from the insurgent IntercontinentalExchange Inc., which has started almost around-the-clock trading in the products.
The CME grain markets currently are open 17 hours a day. But a controversial part of the change calls for trading to be open throughout mornings when Agriculture Department crop estimates are issued.
The widely followed monthly reports come out at 7:30 a.m. Currently, there is no trading in the grains complex from 7:15 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.
Matthew Rees, executive vice president of the futures brokerage R.J. O'Brien & Associates, said the two-hour delay helps all traders digest the reports. Eliminating it could cause more price swings as high-frequency trading firms seize on information before others have it, he said.

Unique Ways To Display Collectibles
Collections can be so thrilling and exciting to collect. The problem usually presents itself when we have what we want but don't know how to display the collection to its full potential. You want to display your collectibles in the best way possible, a way that will attract guests and fellow collectors to check out what you worked so hard to pull together.
Some collections come with display cases that have been included, while others leave you to do the creative work yourself. There are many display options available, some of which may be right under your nose and others can be made yourself in just a few hours.
One of our favorite ways to display collections is in a vintage hutch. The hutch was already made to function as a display case, but with a little paint and creativity — it's easily transformed! If you don't like the dated treatment on an older piece, paint it a light color (or a color that accents what's already in your home) and wallpaper the inside! It'll rejuvenate the piece and help your collection stand out!
Here are some of our favorite unique ways to display collectibles:
• Taken at the Central library of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, this display case is used to house butterflies, but could certainly be filled with just about anything. We've seen hutches used as display cases before, and they're exceptionally beautiful when the backdrop is wallpapered!
• Not only are these M112 POD's collectables — they come with their own case that serves as the display. Whether you have one or five, the easily stackable collection of miniatures is certainly unique.
• There are plenty of us that have large collections of CD's and DVD's. Whether it's because we haven't taken the plunge and uploaded everything on our computers, or we just want to hold onto our favorites — they need a place to lay their heads. This Anthologie CD storage frame is a unique way to do so. This would be an easy and successful DIY project too!
• If the staircases in your home aren't located directly on top of one another, the space below typically goes to waste. There's nothing we love more than utilize each and every square foot of our home — and what a better way than with a display case under the stairs? Books, music, figurines — you name it, it'll look great.
How do you display your collectibles?

I love the hutch but would never put framed butterflies in there. Those would hang all over my walls, they are so gorgeous.
agreed about the hutch. I feel like it masks the butterflies. Hung on the wall seems the best plan. Hutch seems good for jadeite, textiles, silver and the like.
The PODs! the PODs! Those are awesome! Wow, place of honor somewhere in my house. Soo soo cute! A triple threat! dollhouse/miniature/design eek! I want several w/furniture! Sigh, OK, I'm done now.
The hutch probably (I'm guessing) helps keep the butterflies from fading from the sunlight. I love it. It makes me think of high ceilinged, expansive rooms with history to them.
The CD storage frame is freakin' brilliant. Although, I would want a different frame. And, yeah, the butterflies need to get out of the hutch and onto the walls.
@InkSketch If you ever find yourself in Kansas City, MO you need to go to the Toy and Miniature Museum; the displays of miniature rooms are mind-boggling. I just want to crawl inside them and set up housekeeping.

Exclusive's Hammer Films Nabs Rights to Witch Trial Tale 'Daylight Gate' (EXCLUSIVE)
Exclusive Media's Hammer Films is heading back four centuries to witch trials, acquiring movie rights to Jeanette Winterson's "The Daylight Gate."
The novella, set in 17th Century England during the reign of James I, is centered on the notorious 1612 Pendle witch trials, during which a dozen people were charged with the murders of 10 people by the use of witchcraft. That paranoia crossed the ocean with the Pilgrims and set the scene for the Salem witch hunt in the 1690s.
"The Daylight Gate" was released under the Arrow Books Hammer imprint from Random House in August 2012. Hammer said the deal reflects its ongoing goal to develop original content for both film and TV productions.
The announcement was made ahead of the Times Cheltenham Literature Festival's "Hammer: Screen, Page and Beyond" panel. Participants include Hammer topper Simon Oakes; Marcus Hearn, author of "The Hammer Vault"; and Martyn Waites and Jon Croker, the respective author and screenwriter of Hammer's "The Woman in Black: Angel of Death."
"The Hammer imprint has really delivered some fantastic new writing and shows the vibrancy and variety of the modern day horror genre," Oakes said. "The books under our Arrow Books deal are in themselves a fantastic extension of the Hammer brand, and Jeanette's novella 'The Daylight Gate' is a fresh, exciting and compelling fictional work."
Hammer announced in April that "The Woman in Black: Angel of Death" would star Jeremy Irvine ("War Horse") and Phoebe Fox ("Switch") for Exclusive Media and Cross Creek Pictures. Last year's "Woman in Black," starring Daniel Radcliffe and directed by James Watkins, grossed over $130 million worldwide with the same production team.
Winterson has penned "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit," "The Passion," "Sexing the Cherry," "The World and Other Places'," "Art Objects" and "'Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?" She adapted "Oranges" into a BBC television drama of the same name.

We're in the middle of law firm interview season. We've offered you both cheerful and depressing takes on the summer associate recruiting process.
Speaking of depressing things, interviews are frequently followed by rejection. Trust me, I know; I've received many rejections over the years. I recently contributed one of my "favorite" rejection letters to an online compilation (see page 27 of the pamphlet, or page 15 of the PDF, reprinted with the permission of Justice Scalia).
That was a kind and gracious rejection letter, which is what you'd expect from a genteel institution like the U.S. Supreme Court. When Biglaw firms turn your dreams to shame, they aren't quite as nice….

At least where they have cable or LTE as competitors?
When I checked the TOS/AUP for Rhode Island which showed Ultimate as a 100Mb tier (110Mb with boost), the Ultimate cap is still 400GB. In my market, Orange County caps don't appear to be enforced. I blow through my monthly caps routinely and hopefully it will stay that way.What is Verizon's current price for 150Mb FiOS? If it is more than a hundskie, I wonder if they'll drop the price, or bump their tier in response.
Time for Time Warner Cable to up their speeds! I'm paying $100/month for 50 down 5 up. Why not for the same price get 150/50!
That is Cox doing 150/50 not AT&T.
FIOS Pricing for NY/NJ area:15/5: $69.9950/25: $79.9975/35: $89.99150/65: $99.99300/65: $209.99Of course, if you bundle phone/TV you can get 75/35, every tv channel under the sun, cinemax, hbo, showtime all for $144.99/mo--My beta Ruby on Rails tutorial site!
the ultimate package is 150/20, then add powerboost.
Wow, I remember the days when Optimum Online was the gold standard of Internet service. I am now paying $54.95 a month for 15/2 service (well the download is basically 20 but not advertised as such) and Cox is now offering 25/5 for $56?!?! At least we do not have usage caps (yet) and the Optimum WiFi service has good penetration.It would be nice if OOL at least tried to keep their leadership position.--I support the right to keep and arm bears.
Ultimate is $109.99 in Vegas.
No upgrades in Arkansas yet. Hope they have some for us too!
I wonder where the breaking point of all the access to bandwidth is?With all the increases and very little transport upgrades between cities and towns built.I know all the costs to access fiber optics are going down but somewhere somehowthere has to be a realization more cross country lines will be needed.The consumer will eventually have to pay more to have the bandwidth so operatorscan bury new fiber.Internet service providers cannot keep giving away low cost access for ever.
Huge speed upgrades, 3X downstream, 10X upstream for ultimate...in phoenix the only competition is Qwest which is crappy DSL and nowhere near these speeds. I think it really shows the influence of google fiber. Just like when email accounts has 10 megs of storage then gmail came along with 1 gig of storage everyone else had to match. Even though google fiber isn't a direct competitor most markets, I think it has somehow made other providers 15mb (or whatever) download speeds some puny compared with 1gbps google offers and feel they have to catch up, at least a little. I don't see why else this could be. It's not like QWEST is providing any incentive
Horrible customer service reps, rude and incompetent field techs, shoddy service, no competition, the list goes on. How many years will go by before NOLA sees these speeds?
I thought Qwest went and now operated by CenturyLink. CenturyLink will eventually sell out or close due to massive Plain Ol Telephone service losses.
they can and will keep providing access at a reasonable cost.. the average customer isn't gonna spend more that 150 on cable/internet combined.. and for the bandwidth issue they dont have to bury new fiber just gotta upgrade the equipment on each end of it.. that's the great part about fiber u dont have to replace it.
Cable companies have had the capability for a while to give much higher speeds with Docsis 3.0. Whatever motivates them to raise speeds is ok with me.
Tom ruteledge is wasting no time. Seems like he is slowly making cox like cablevision.
Huh? Low cost?You realize that there is a TON of unused fiber in the ground that was put there over a decade by companies such as WilTel ( who now do not exist but their assets were sold to others). There's no need for more cross country lines, there's a need for much more last mile fiber lines.
cant wait for all this speed to be never used and cause these isps massive layoffs.
I was gonna say, 50 up seems too high for DOCSIS 3.
Already seeing these speeds in New Orleans (French Quarter and Lakeview)Both accounts have preferred and are seeing ~27/~5.8 on speedtest.netThis is great, but I would still rather an LUS type situation down here (in my dreams).
think you mean charter not coxMr. Thomas M. Rutledge, Tom, has been the Chief Executive Officer and President of Charter Communications Inc. since February 13, 2012. Mr. Rutledge served as the Chief Operating Officer of Cablevision Systems Corp., at AMC Networks Inc. from April 26, 2004 to December 2011
Time for Time Warner Cable to up their speeds! I'm paying $100/month for 50 down 5 up. Why not for the same price get 150/50!
cant wait for all this speed to be never used and cause these isps massive layoffs.
...and I'm back to wishing I lived in a Cox area. Or, you know, a FiOS or LUSFiber area, but without actually having to move.
I'd take 50/10 myself. When I heard that a friend of mine in Phoenix, was upgrading to 150/20, I didn't believe him. Sure enough he has it, just wow. I'd love to wake up one day and see a 30/10 or 50/10 option on TWC. Nice to see what the technology can do.
AT&T will have no choice but to bribe more politicians and raise rates.That will even the playing field.After reading about the 25/2 bonded that some dsl people were talking about they can't even get that with uwish
Wow 50 up on DOCSIS?? I don't think any other Cable operator in North America offers that kind of upstream. Wonder if cox will be able to consistently deliver on those speeds.
Verizon raises rates for the 50mbit tier and ALL the cable companies seem to be falling in lock-step with price hikes too!! DAMN IT!!
