I kept inquiring about roof compatible trays, and guy was quite responsive on the e-mail - but could not help, as they are apparently out of capacity to produce enough. My initial order for the first tray was shipped promptly. Would not knock on their customer service - they are just not very big.Originally Posted by Ocho
Call them and check. Maybe it is on its way - they do not have a fancy tracking system.
Aug 9 is not that far down the line. My guess it would be worth the wait, but yeah, I completely understand your frustration. I am just as frustrated waiting for the second tray now.
Yeah, there are other racks, but now I would not want another.

Cangene said today its biodefense contract with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was extended to include additional work that could net the company up to $77 million over four years—just a year after the two inked an extension deal that followed contracts stretching back to 2002.
The new contract—under which the company supplies Vaccinia Immune Globulin Intravenous™ (VIGIV) into the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile—was extended by 18 months, followed by three additional option periods extending through 2017. VIGIV is used for treating and preventing some severe complications that may be associated with smallpox vaccination.
The extension includes additional services to support license maintenance activities for VIGIV, now projected to generate up to about $6.9 million over 18 months, plus future optional services for maintaining the VIGIV license and options for additional manufacturing and plasma collections.
If exercised, the optional periods could generate an additional $45 million in revenue if the baseline scope of work is implemented, or up to $77 million if the maximum scope is implemented.
Cangene and the CDC originally entered into a five-year contract for VIGIV in 2002, then extended their accord to a 10-year term ending last year. The initial five-year contract allowed for the U.S. government to order up to 100,000 doses of VIGIV on an as-needed basis (Cangene completed a supply of 30,000 doses under this contract during fiscal 2004) and required the company to take VIGIV through regulatory approval in the United States.
VIGIV was first accepted into the Strategic National Stockpile in 2002 and subsequently licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2005, followed two years later by Health Canada licensure.
On August 28, 2012, Cangene inked a new deal with the CDC that the company said at the time was expected to generate $9.8 million over 18 months.

U.S. Default Would Change Fundamentals of Rating, Moody's Says
The U.S. would risk not winning back its top Aaa credit rating soon if a failure by Congress to raise the nation's debt limit causes even a short-term default, according to Moody's Investors Service's senior credit officer.
"Up until now, our assumption was that the risk is virtually zero of them ever missing an interest payment," Moody's Steven Hess said during an interview. "If they actually miss a debt payment, then it's a fundamental change."
Republicans are using talks to increase the $14.3 trillion debt-ceiling to press for cuts in spending. Negotiators seeking a bipartisan plan to reduce federal deficits said they oppose pairing it with only a short-term boost in the U.S. debt limit that the Treasury Department estimates will be breached at the start of August. Moody's warned on June 2 that it will put the credit rating under review for a downgrade unless there's progress on increasing the debt limit by mid-July.
A default stemming from "the debt limit and the political configuration would indicate that, well, this might happen again," Hess said at Bloomberg headquarters in New York on June 21. "That risk is perhaps not compatible with Aaa."
Traders are demanding higher prices to insure Treasuries against default as the standoff between Congress and the Obama administration drags on.
'Catastrophic Effects'
The costs for insuring against default for one year have risen to 49.5 basis points as of June 21 from 24 basis points on May 16, when the U.S. reached its borrowing limit, according to index administrator Markit Group Ltd. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt.
Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner has warned that a failure to raise the debt ceiling may have catastrophic effects on the U.S. economy by sharply raising borrowing costs. At the same time, yields on Treasuries remain close to the lows of the year as the economy shows signs of slowing and investors seek a refuge from Europe's sovereign-debt crisis.
Yields on benchmark 10-year notes were little changed yesterday at 2.99 percent. That's down from the average of about 4.08 percent over the past decade.
The U.S. rating could be raised to Aaa again after a short-lived default "if, No. 1, they reached an agreement that addressed the debt trajectory, and No. 2, they did something to fix the institutional arrangement around the debt limit so that you would be confident that it would not happen again," Hess said. "Those things are not going to happen overnight."
Debt to GDP
Moody's may still assign a negative outlook within a few months if the government fails to agree on a plan that would begin reducing its debt ratio to gross domestic product in three to four years, Hess said.
U.S. debt was 58.9 percent of GDP as of Dec. 31. The Congressional Budget Office estimated in March that U.S. deficit spending will push that figure to 90 percent by 2017, a level that economists Kenneth Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart say can weigh on long-term growth prospects.
Standard & Poor's put the U.S. government on notice in April that it risks losing its top AAA rating unless policy makers agree on a plan by 2013 to reduce budget deficits and the national debt. The Obama administration projects that the deficit will climb to $1.6 trillion in the current fiscal year.
"We're looking for some agreement that shows the deficit path with lower deficits and eventually producing a trajectory of debt-to-GDP level that goes down," Hess said. "Because 2012 is the presidential election year, if they don't have one soon they're probably not going to have one until 2013 at the earliest, and we think that's a little too long to wait."
Publicly held federal debt will reach roughly 70 percent of the nation's gross domestic product by the end of this year, the highest since just after World War II, according to the CBO.
It's likely to go past 100 percent by 2021 if lawmakers don't change current policy, the non-partisan agency said in a report updating its long-term budget outlook. The debt will approach 190 percent by 2035, dwarfing the 109 percent set during World War II, the report said.

The dust has cleared. GMs have poked their heads out of their respective foxholes and now are wondering what they have wrought.
Although the number of trades paled in comparison to the number anticipated by pre-deadline media hype, there were significant deals. The moves likely will alter the balance of power in both conferences and might have a direct impact on who raises the Stanley Cup in June.
In the wake of the Peter Forsberg and Keith Tkachuk moves that preceded the deadline, here are our top deals of the past 24 hours:
• Bill Guerin traded from St. Louis to San Jose for a first-round pick in 2007, Ville Nieminen and Jay Barriball
Coupled with the Sharks' acquisition Sunday of defenseman Craig Rivet from Montreal, San Jose has gone from teetering on the brink to Stanley Cup contender in the blink of an eye. At least that's how it appears on paper.
Guerin will ramp up an offense that now stacks up against any in the Western Conference. The Sharks have lost five of seven, fallen off the pace of Pacific Division-leading Anaheim and, as of Tuesday morning, were sixth in the conference. This deal should change those dynamics in short order.
This deal not only brings a proven scorer (Guerin has 28 goals so far this season), but it also reinforces in the Sharks' dressing room that management believes this is a Cup-contending team. Guerin and defending Hart Trophy winner Joe Thornton are familiar with each other from their days in Boston, so that should help in the transition.
For a team that has been so conservative about its prospects and draft picks, giving up two first-rounders in a little more than 24 hours signals GM Doug Wilson believes the time is now, if at all.

• Ryan Smyth traded from Edmonton to the New York Islanders for a first-round draft pick and prospects Ryan O'Marra and Robert Nilsson
This is almost unthinkable for Oiler fans, in some ways similar to seeing Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and Paul Coffey leave town. Smyth was the blueprint for the cliché "heart and soul." With his distinctive all-Canadian mullet and his penchant for playing with broken bones and displaced teeth, he was pure Oiler. Now, he's a New York Islander.
The Oilers couldn't stay in the playoff hunt and couldn't reach a long-term deal with Smyth, who will be an unrestricted free agent this summer; so, GM Kevin Lowe bit the bullet and made sure he didn't lose his most important player for nothing.
As he did with the Chris Pronger deal, Lowe received good value out of an untenable situation. Apart from the ever-valuable first-round pick, the Oilers got two players who were selected 15th overall in their respective drafts, Nilsson in 2003 and O'Marra in 2005. Nilsson isn't yet ready to play in the NHL, having toiled in the AHL for over a season, but joins a pretty good crop of youngsters waiting in the wings in Edmonton.
So, is this just a rental situation, a la Doug Weight and Mark Recchi, or is Smyth gone for good? Who knows. Maybe Smyth will like life on Long Island. After all, the Isles suddenly have stated they're around for the long haul this spring. Instead of trading potential free agent and leading scorer Jason Blake, they kept him and added more offense in the form of Richard Zednik, who came over from Washington. If the Isles can just find a way to keep Alexei Yashin out of the lineup, there might be a Cup in the offing.

• Gary Roberts traded from Florida to Pittsburgh for Noah Welch
It took some time to get this one together, but Roberts finally acquiesced to the Penguins' desire to have him come to Steel City and waived his no-trade clause with the Panthers.
It's not that Roberts didn't want to play with Sidney Crosby; he has familial obligations in the Toronto area, where his teenage daughter is going to school. He was hoping to parlay his no-trade deal into a move closer to home. Oh well. He might have to settle for a Stanley Cup instead. Not to overstate Roberts' potential impact in Pittsburgh, but along with veteran forward Mark Recchi, the Penguins now have two Cup-winning forwards who understand the long playoff road and can provide the steadying hand for this young team.
There is little doubt the Penguins are the real deal. They are fifth in the East with games in hand on every other team in the playoff bracket. The arrival of Roberts and, to a much lesser degree Georges Laraque, should help keep the team from swooning down the stretch. But rookie GM Ray Shero didn't deal solid defensive prospect Noah Welch just to sneak into the postseason. Roberts was brought in to lead this team deep into the playoffs. Anyone who saw Roberts lead an injury-ravaged Toronto team to the 2002 Eastern Conference finals knows he has the potential to do just that. A fitness freak, the 40-year-old Roberts still plays the game with abandon, so there will be questions about his durability. He has missed 13 games this season and missed significant time last season, as well.

• Todd Bertuzzi traded from Florida to Detroit for two conditional draft picks and
Shawn Matthias
Todd Bertuzzi has gone from being the black sheep of the NHL to the dark horse of the trade deadline. If GM Ken Holland guessed right and Bertuzzi can return from his back woes with his nose for the net, the Wings are as good as any team in the star-laden Western Conference. If Holland has guessed wrong, no harm no foul.
Indeed, it looks very much like Holland brought in Kyle Calder in an earlier three-way deal between Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit almost as a backup in case the Bertuzzi experiment fizzles.
Depending on how the team and Bertuzzi finish out the season, the Wings could owe Florida a first-, second- or third-round pick this spring. If they sign Bertuzzi, who can become an unrestricted free agent, they'll owe another second-round pick in 2008. That's not a whole lot to wager against the possibility of getting a player who was a top 10 player in the league. The knock on the Red Wings in recent playoff years has been they've been too easy to play against. If Bertuzzi is up to snuff, he has the potential to shift the balance back in favor of the Red Wings.
Perhaps more symbolic, the Panthers rid themselves of the cornerstone of what might turn out to be one of the worst trades in NHL history.

• Dainius Zubrus and Timo Helbling traded from Washington to Buffalo for a first-round draft pick and center Jiri Novotny
Buffalo GM Darcy Regier resisted the trade urge a year ago and his team rewarded him with a run to the seventh game of the Eastern Conference finals. This season, decimated by injuries to key players, especially up front, Regier did some wheeling and dealing to shore up his first-place club.
In the end, he shed long-time backup netminder Martin Biron, and a couple of deals later, ended up with underappreciated forward Dainius Zubrus from Washington.
Zubrus, whose profile is hampered by playing in hockey-dead Washington, should be an almost perfect fit for Lindy Ruff's skilled, fast-moving Sabres. Zubrus has been playing on a line with Alexander Ovechkin, so he knows a little bit about skill. He's accumulated 52 points on a one-dimensional team, including 33 points in his last 37 games. If the Sabres get co-captain Chris Drury, Maxim Afinogenov and Tim Connolly, among others, back before the playoffs, Zubrus will give the team another layer of offensive talent that will make them as dangerous. If those players are slow to return, Zubrus is a nice insurance policy against an early playoff exit.

• Mattias Norstrom, Konstantin Pushkarev, third- and fourth-round picks in 2007 traded from Los Angeles to Dallas for Jaroslav Modry, Johan Fransson, first-round pick in 2008, second- and third-round picks in 2007
Solid and eminently dependable, Norstrom quietly has established himself as one of the most underrated defensemen in the NHL. The longtime member of Sweden's national teams has played 823 NHL games, all but 43 in the relative anonymity of Los Angeles. Adding Norstrom to a group that includes Sergei Zubov, Philippe Boucher, Darryl Sydor and Stephane Robidas, will make the Stars only that much more difficult to play against.
The Stars rank second in the NHL in goals-against, allowing an average of 2.34 goals per game (only New Jersey is better) and they are second only to Detroit in allowing the fewest 5-on-5 goals. There will continue to be questions about the team's offensive capabilities (only Vancouver has scored fewer goals of the top eight teams in the conference), but the earlier acquisition of Ladislav Nagy from Phoenix should alleviate some of those concerns. But defense wins Cups, and the Stars are as solid as they come on the back end.
Impact-o-meter: 7.0 | Complete trade details
• Yanic Perreault and a 2008 fifth-round pick traded from Phoenix to Toronto for Brendan Bell and a 2008 second-round pick
There will be much gnashing of teeth in Toronto about the team's lack of deadline movement and Yanic Perreault's third stint with the team that originally drafted him back in 1991. But GM John Ferguson chose the safe route by bringing in a player who, even at the ripe old age of 35, quietly can do it all. He is still a faceoff master, winning 62.6 percent of the 666 draws he's taken this season. He still can produce, collecting 33 points in 49 games for an offensively challenged Coyotes squad. And he's a heck of a nice guy.
Is he enough to put the Leafs into the playoffs? He won't hurt. The Leafs will be criticized for sending away defensive prospect Brendan Bell, once the CHL's defenseman of the year; but Toronto has a clutch of young defensemen who will struggle to get ice time with Pavel Kubina, Tomas Kaberle and Bryan McCabe locked into long-term deals.
If the Leafs fall short of the postseason, it might be because of the deal they didn't make to bring in Gary Roberts or Bill Guerin or even Todd Bertuzzi. It won't be because they brought Yanic Perreault home.

• Martin Biron traded from Buffalo to Philadelphia for a second-round pick in 2007; Ty Conklin traded from Columbus to Buffalo for a fifth-round pick in 2007
If there is a downside to Buffalo GM Darcy Regier's maneuverings, it's that he now has little in the way of insurance in goal. With Biron gone, the backup duties now fall to Ty Conklin, brought in from Columbus for a fifth-round pick. A season ago, Biron was instrumental in keeping the Sabres at an elite level when Miller was out with a thumb injury before the Olympic break. Although Biron was not used in the postseason during the Sabres' run to the Eastern Conference finals, his presence should not be underestimated.
The Sabres knew if rookie Ryan Miller faltered, they had a Plan B. Now Plan B is Conklin, whose career in Edmonton went up in smoke in the dying seconds of Game 1 of last season's Stanley Cup finals when he misplayed the puck behind the Oilers net and allowed Rod Brind'Amour to score the game-winner. Since then, he's split time between the AHL and NHL and has a 3.30 GAA and .871 save percentage in 11 games for Columbus.
Bottom line: Ryan Miller better stay healthy.

• Brad May traded from Colorado to Anaheim for Michael Wall
All along, Anaheim GM Brian Burke said he wouldn't be sucked into overpaying for rental players with draft picks and prospects. And even though conference rivals San Jose, Detroit, Nashville and Dallas all upgraded by doing just that, the Ducks stood firm. The only move of note was to bring in veteran tough-guy Brad May from the Avalanche for minor-league netminder Michael Wall.
May has amassed 2,027 career penalty minutes, but was only recently activated from the injured reserve after missing 53 games (shoulder surgery). It brings to question his ability to be effective if he can't crash and bang. If he can get back to form, May will add some veteran toughness up front for Anaheim, which has a nice blend of skill and brawn. If May can't produce, his usefulness will be minimal at best.
Wall has a lot of upside. The 21-year-old from Telkwa, British Columbia, is 6-foot-2, 204 pounds, and held his own earlier this season when Ilya Bryzgalov and Jean-Sebastien Giguere were both out with injuries. He went 2-2 with a 2.97 GAA. Depending on what the Avs do with Jose Theodore and his bloated contract, the undrafted Wall should get a chance at the backup role behind Peter Budaj during next season's training camp.

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) -- A former wife has described Gary
Giordano as a man who "can't control his anger."
According to court records and women from his past, he can be
charming, but also threatening.
Authorities in Aruba suspect Giordano, who's from Maryland, was
involved in the death of his travel companion, Robyn Gardner.
He has said she disappeared as they were snorkeling. Authorities
doubt parts of his story, and aren't sure he and Gardner even went
into the water.
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) -- An Aruban official says a shirt and
sandals found during a search of the island did not belong to a
missing Maryland woman.
Solicitor General Taco Stein tells The Associated Press that
police conducted a careful analysis of the pink shirt and black
sandals after the items were found during a search of an abandoned
phosphate mine.
He said Saturday that authorities believe there is no reason to
send the items to the Netherlands for further testing. The clothing
was found during a search for the remains of 35-year-old Robyn
Gardner in the southern Dutch Caribbean island.
The mine is near where Gary Giordano says Gardner disappeared
while snorkeling on Aug. 2. Giordano has been detained on suspicion
of involvement in Gardner's presumed death.

The first rule of biography, wrote Justin Kaplan: "Shoot the widow."
In her new book, Meryle Secrest, acclaimed biographer ("Knowing, sympathetic and entertainingly droll"—The New York Times), writes about her comic triumphs and misadventures as a biographer in search of her nine celebrated subjects, about how the hunt for a "life" is like working one's way through a maze, full of fall starts, dead ends, and occasional clear passages leading to the next part of the puzzle.
She writes about her first book, a life of Romaine Brooks, and how she was led to Nice and given invaluable letters by her subject's heir that were slid across the table, one at a time; how she was led to the villa of Brooks' lover, Gabriele d'Annunzio (poet, playwright, and aviator), a fantastic mausoleum left untouched since the moment of his death seventy years before; to a small English village, where she uncovered a lost Romaine Brooks painting; and finally, to 20, rue Jacob, Paris, where Romaine's lover, Natalie Barney, had fifty years before entertained Cocteau, Gide, Proust, Colette, and others.
Secrest describes how her next book—a life of Berenson—prompted Francis Steegmuller, fellow biographer, to comment that he wouldn't touch the subject with a ten-foot pole.
For her life of British art historian Kenneth Clark, Secrest was given permission to write the book by her subject, who surreptitiously financed it in the hopes of controlling its contents; we see how Clark's plan was foiled by a jealous mistress and a stash of love letters that helped Secrest navigate Clark's obstacle course.
Among the other biographical (mis)adventures, Secrest reveals: how she tracked Salvador Dalí to a hospital room, found him recovering from serious burns sustained in a mysterious fire, and learned that he was knee-deep in a scandal involving fake drawings and prints and surrounded by dangerous characters out of Murder, Inc. . . . and how she went in search of a subject's grave (Frank Lloyd Wright's) only to find that his body had been dug up to satisfy the whim of his last wife.
A fascinating account of a life spent in sometimes arduous, sometimes comical, always exciting pursuit of the truth about other lives.

Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
To explain the homicidal title first: it's an axiom coined by Justin Kaplan, the distinguished biographer of Mark Twain and Walt Whitman, and it refers to one of the main hazards we practitioners of the genre face. I instantly recognized its provenance: Kaplan, the first professional biographer I ever knew, used to warn me about the obstacles that spouses of dead subjects can strew in a prospective biographer's path: permissions withheld, archives closed, requests for interviews denied. On the one hand, you need their co-operation to get the job done; on the other, they tend to get in the way. Maybe Secrest's title should have been: "Obtain the Widow's Papers, Then Shoot the Widow."
A career biographer, Secrest has nine biographies under her belt, among them Leonard Bernstein, Kenneth Clark and Salvador Dalí. It's an eclectic mix-not an altogether reassuring sign. The greatest biographers-Michael Holroyd, Richard Ellmann, Leon Edel, Edmund Morris, Richard Holmes, to list a few at random-have imposed on themselves a mandate to enter as deeply as they can into another's mind and character: in Holmes's word, to "haunt" their subjects. The job can take a lifetime.
Secrest doesn't haunt as much as insinuate. Her method is pragmatic. "Deciding on a subject is mostly a cold-blooded business of weighing the subject against potential markets, timeliness, the availability of material and the likelihood of getting the story, the kinds of factors publishers have to worry about." Sometimes she's authorized; sometimes she's not. Sometimes the matter of authorization is left ambiguous. She shares with us, perhaps unwisely, John Guare's telling anagram for her name: Merely Secrets
To her credit, Secrest is a lively storyteller-better than she knows. She puts herself down as "a nosy parker," a "boring" stylist who finds the whole process "baffling." But she's too hard on herself. Arriving at Lord Clark's ancient country manor, she finds the venerable art historian "sitting in the living room, his mouth half open, looking flustered and vague. He had had a coup de vieux, he said." It's a touching moment-portrait of a great man on his way out.
Maybe Secrest should write an autobiography. The glimpses she offers of her own life-her English childhood in Bath; the revelation, blurted out in passing, that she was an "unwanted child"-are tantalizing. She tearfully confesses to one of her subjects, Stephen Sondheim, the "years of self-examination" she's undergone. Tell us more. 61 b&w photos. (June 7)

Chapter One: The Glass Pavilion
Before I became a biographer I used to write interviews for the Washington Post and one day I was sent along to interview Kenneth Clark. The British art historian, who was also a celebrated lecturer, author, university professor, gallery director, patron, collector, social lion and courtier, was at the height of his fame as star of the television series Civilisation. A wide international audience had, as it were, fallen in love with him. Roses were practically being thrown at his feet and further accolades would follow his disarming, self-revelatory memoir, Another Part of the Wood.
I found him in Georgetown at the home of the founding director of the National Gallery of Art. David Finley was, by then, a small, shrunken and noncommittal figure who, I would belatedly discover, had locked away forever secrets of the art world acquired during a lifetime of firsthand observation. It was 1969. Clark entered the room as if he had stepped out of a picture frame, looking exactly right. He was in his sixties and still handsome, with even features, a beautifully shaped head and an expansive brow. The amiably goofy Bertie Wooster, hero of P. G. Wodehouse's comedies, who employs the frighteningly erudite Jeeves, was wont to explain that his butler's brainpower came from eating fish and the way his head stuck out at the back. As I recall, Kenneth Clark preferred lamb or roast beef and Yorkshire pudding to fish, and the only thing that ever stuck out at the back was his hair. For me, the essence of penetrating intelligence is exemplified by the forehead, and his was as serene and sweeping as any I had seen. I took particular note of what the British would call his keen gaze, so full of energy and expression, and the way he caressed one of his host's delicate alabaster objets. There was something curiously familiar about him. But the fact that I had just viewed all thirteen episodes of Civilisation must explain why I seemed able to predict his movements, gestures and shades of expression.
Before Clark became a television performer and "national icon," as David Cannadine called him, he had been Keeper of Fine Art at the Ashmolean, director of London's National Gallery, Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford, chairman of the Arts Council and Independent Television Authority, as well as the author of books on art and artists, including works on Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Piero della Francesca, and The Nude. He talked freely and fluently and, after I sent him the article, wrote to thank me. This seemed to call for a magazine piece. I persuaded Smithsonian magazine to let me interview him again, which wasn't too difficult. The following summer I flew to England to visit the Clarks in their castle outside Hythe in Kent.
It was a Saturday morning, and Lord Clark met me at the station. Lady Clark—Jane—was having her hair done. We would pick her up and then go to Saltwood Castle for lunch. I had dressed for the occasion in my latest affectation, what James Laver would have called a Robin Hood outfit, complete with tunic and matching pants. My host met me in Scottish tweeds, a green velour hat and matching suede shoes. (Jeeves would have taken a very dim view of the shoes.) I could not have looked any more out of place if I had been carrying a bow and arrow, but Lord Clark, his manners as always faultless, rose above it.
There was a heavy summer rain, and as the wait might be prolonged we went for a quick one. Kenneth Clark pulled the Wolsey right up to the front steps of Folkestone's largest hotel, but not before I had surreptitiously taken note of the ten-year-old car's low mileage (6,000) and the two books inside the glove compartment: Charles Darwin and His World and The Odes of Pindar. "This is what my father used to call a beezer," he said as we dashed inside. When he said a quick one, he meant it. He downed his whiskies rather the way Russians toss back vodka; now you see it, now you don't. I had barely started on a martini when it was time to squelch back down the steps to the car with its dashing red interior. He had left the window open on his side. "Oh well," he said, "I shall get a wet bottom," and we drove off.
He was the second Kenneth Mackenzie Clark. The first was an immensely wealthy Scot, one of the Clarks of Paisley who made their fortunes in the manufacture of sewing thread, and his father had acquired more than £1 million when he sold his share of the business in 1896. That made him very rich indeed, with all sorts of fashionable addresses, but what always interested me was that he called himself "K." My subject, therefore, always called himself "K," and the complexities of that identification and its implications for his artistic and emotional heritage kept me awake at night in years to come. For the moment I was dazzled enough to be told, after addressing him as Lord Clark, "My friends always call me 'K.' "
K and I drew up at Miss Dora Clifford's hair salon, and Lady Clark edged into the back seat. I had seen pictures of her in her twenties, with a boyish cut, an embroidered stole flung negligently over one shoulder. It was a bit disappointing to find her wearing an entirely conventional tweed suit, her single fashion statement a pair of knit hose with a lacy pattern up the front that drew discreet attention to a shapely pair of legs. Her face seemed wider and softer. There was no trace of the piquant, almost pouting look of the early photographs. It was hard to imagine her as the bold, assertive Jane who had told her friends, in 1953, "We've taken a castle in Kent!" That, Diana Menuhin thought, begged for Beatrice Lillie's retort, "Put it back at once!" Her husband led the conversation, which formed an abbreviated travelogue as we traversed Folkestone's slick and deserted front. She spoke about the well-publicized breakup between Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, whom they knew well, with a tantalizing comment that she did not pursue. In fact, much of her conversation had an oddly disjointed quality, but I attributed that to her husband's flow of confident comments.
It was a real castle, as romantic as anything imagined by Walter Scott. Considered one of the finest examples of a small Norman fortress in England, its turrets and battlements were picturesquely arranged around a partial moat, with an expanse of faultless green lawn on the opposite side and great masses of roses climbing over broken walls. One building that now housed Lord Clark's library was the Archbishop's audience hall where, legend had it, the four knights of Henry II had planned to murder Thomas à Becket. Saltwood even had a ghost story of sorts; several guests, including the actress Irene Worth, had heard voices in the yellow bedroom and the sound of bells at five in the morning. Kenneth Clark had heard them himself. My own response to a building of such splendor and antiquity was mixed. I had a confused impression of stone halls, stained-glass windows, arches, huge fireplaces, silk velvet upholstery, daisies in vases, oils, watercolors and drawings by Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland and Cézanne. Yet there was something austere, if not forbidding, about the atmosphere that the use of inviting fabrics, flowers, down cushions, tapestries and Persian carpets could not dispel. Kenneth Clark said they were building a house on one floor because, he continued, with a gesture toward an ominously long flight of stone steps, Jane tended to "tumble about a bit." It appeared she had fallen down this flight and broken an arm; I was surprised she had not killed herself. His description of the event seemed so offhand as to be jolting.
Lunch was almost ready, organized by K, who seemed in charge of everything. There was just about time for one of his terrifyingly abbreviated cocktail hours. I got another martini. Jane asked for the same, but was not given one. As we sat down to lunch, she remonstrated weakly, "K, you forgot my martini." He was obviously pretending not to hear. We had lamb on Chinese porcelain, with mint sauce in a silver bowl. There were raspberries and cream for dessert; it was perfection. K opened an excellent white Bordeaux, and he and I polished it off between us. Jane Clark had, at most, half a glass. Then the most amazing thing happened. Like the Cheshire cat, she was vanishing before our eyes. Almost the only thing left was the smile as she, on silent feet, glided off to bed. I would learn that she was a famous drunk, said to have fallen down in more embassies than any other woman in England. She seemed almost grateful for the idea that K was going to show me around the castle grounds, and at her suggestion we made our way to the scullery, where I was fitted out with a pair of wellies. Some time after that we ended our tour in K's study, on either side of a fireplace. In my muddy boots and principal boy pantomime outfit I hardly qualified as a femme fatale. So I was astounded to be pulled to my feet by K, who then wrapped me in his arms and said something outlandish like having loved me from the moment he saw me. I was quite grateful to be deposited, soon afterwards, on the train back to London—something like the 4:15.
In his youth, Kenneth Clark had been a runner, and when I got to know him he was still running. It would not be too much of an overstatement to say that he could shoot out of bed, take his morning tea, bathe, be dressed and ready for action in the time it took the rest of us to stagger to the front door for the morning paper. His opening gambit when he met you at the station on the 12:10 would be an enthusiastic description of a fast train back to London at 1:50 p.m. "He terrifies me when he is in this mood," one of his girlfriends, Margaret Slythe, said. "He's like a train shunting us through the station." A somewhat longer grace period was accorded weekend guests, but not by much. One visitor who was late departing overheard his host telling his dog, in tones of deep satisfaction, "Isn't it lovely, they've all gone." Yet, Margaret Slythe continued, "If they don't come he says very sadly, 'No one comes here now.' " In fairness to him, his days were so full they had to be timed to the minute, with unvarying periods parceled out for correspondence, dictating, phone calls, writing, meetings, lectures, walks, the afternoon nap, the occasional toddle along to the pub for a jug of beer, and his secret vice, girlfriends. I would learn just how much of a pouncer he was; fortunately for me, that aspect of his enthusiasm was fleeting. One had to wonder, given his passion for the stopwatch, how satisfactory he was as a lover. This charming, if mistaken, belief that whatever needed doing in life could be done in ten minutes had its drawbacks, as I would discover when I wrote his biography. By the time that all came about, I had written two other successful biographies, Between Me and Life: A Biography of Romaine Brooks, and Being Bernard Berenson. The latter was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 1980. I won a Guggenheim Fellowship at the same time, and started thinking I could do no wrong. That was my first mistake.
Like Kenneth Clark, I was an only child. I was born in Bath and grew up on the slopes of the southern hills, in a new semidetached to which my parents moved when I was six years old. The street, Sladebrook Road, was in the sporadic state of being developed that was common following the Great Depression; a few scattered farmhouses built of Bath limestone clung to its rocky sides, with orchards and fields behind them. Down below in the valley, the famous nursery, Blackmore and Langdon, grew spectacular delphiniums in ideal conditions. Sladebrook Road had not been paved, a situation that continued until well after World War II, and my father would drive our motorbike and sidecar down the road, moaning about his springs. I would push my bike up the miniature hills and valleys and, daringly, take a rollercoaster ride back down again. I loved that unpaved road. One could build whole continents on its typography, with streams, rivers and lakes; a spot of oil in the water became, when you stirred it, an iridescent rainbow of colors.
The small-time builder who designed "Westhill" followed the invariable pattern of such semidetached buildings, sometimes called Metroland Suburban, and owing its origins to Charles Voysey. Its roof would be covered with tiles, and there were always bay windows, projecting gables and sometimes half-timbered façades. The front door might be decorated with a panel of stained glass depicting a ship in full sail; sunbursts were also the rage. The semidetached was the equivalent of the American center-hall Colonial. One could predict, without ever entering, the staircase running up directly behind the front door, the formal front room, less formal dining room and sparsely equipped kitchen. There would be three bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs. There was, of course, no central heating, so there were fireplaces in every room. The water pipes were placed considerately outside the walls, so that when water froze in the toilet and the pipes burst, the coagulating drips formed interesting but harmless stalactites on the outside.
Ours was a very scaled-down adaptation of the Voysey original. We did not have anything as grand as half-timbering, or even a stained-glass insert in the front door. We did have a wooden gate with a sunburst pattern and we also had Voysey-designed, heavily paneled interior doors, with handles set at chest height that I could not reach for quite a while. The fireplaces, designed for coal, were miniature, and surrounded by glazed china blocks in a muddy orange, curiously ascending in steps to form a very low mantelpiece. Everywhere, the wood was chocolate brown. The chocolate-brown picture rails would be outlined with a wallpaper border, usually some abstracted design of vine leaves or fruit, very Art Deco, under the rail and up and down the corners. Walls were papered with something the color of porridge, and the yearly papering became an event in which I learned to take part, if only to separate my parents when my mother burst into storms of frustrated tears.
Everything else was brown, buff, beige, coffee or fawn, bedrooms excepted (these were either pink or blue). The matching set of leather sofa and armchairs in the front room was brown. The mock Tudor sideboard was brown. My father's special chair was upholstered in brown. The front-room curtains were light brown, with a silky, feathery leaf pattern. Even the barrel-shaped biscuit tin was brown, and it is no wonder I haven't been able to look at that color since. I left the house with relief and not the slightest inkling that it would haunt me over the years. I dreamt one time that it was being enlarged at the back, with a big picture window. To my amazement I discovered on my next trip that this was the case. In my dreams I find myself buying it, and starting all over again.

no bias here. Just the facts,
I suspect the legislation will get a burst of laughter in the end, or just a three round burst.
Uncle Sam should have the target on his back. The rest of us sure do.
Careful, the starting gun (blanks) will draw armed response.
Right on Target (as always)
Tell me about it what are you going to do after your second shot.
Let's go back to "original intent" – flintlocks! One shot, a puff of smoke to show shooter location, and a half minute to reload.
Omnius: We haven't had a "well regulated militia" for 150 years. It was abandoned for conscription during the Civil
war. The real purpose of the second amendment was to "ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense" without recourse to the European evils of a large standing army, mercenaries, or conscription (what we have now). Although the draft is not currently enforced, it is still on the books – high unemployment-forced "volunteering" has replaced it since it mainly targets the poor – as assignments did when it was in force (see W).
Probably because, in spite of that, the NRA claims that even one will lead to the confiscation of guns.
Why do you call it "hatred?" Why do you have trouble with citizens, including many NRA members, want sensible controls that the present NRA stopped supporting?
Some shotguns can hold up to 12 shells.
Original intent wasn't about the kind of gun, but how it is used and by whom who will use it. "Well ordered militias…"
progressive tax plans and gun control at work.
"Either die or we hire some security ourselves, because we can't depend on the police department," said Tarvins.
I'm all for confiscating everyone's guns. Just as long as I keep mine.
Wow, what a big word for such a simplistic racist remark. You really need to do some Yoga or Tai Chi to calm down. I think you are fomenting high blood pressure and enormous anger over the myriad of hateful thoughts that reside in your little mind…
"Well ordered militias…"
The SOTUS defined that when they handed down the Heller ruling. The made a careful distinction between the right to personal ownership of firearms separate from the militia clause.

Value Apartments: Below Market Rate Housing in NYC
Bad news for those looking for the holy grail of NYC rentals: a value apartment priced below market rate. The average prices for Manhattan apartments for rent continued to go up in July, and are now close to ten-percent higher than they were at the same time last year. The biggest surprise? The price of Manhattan non-doorman rental apartments, usually a good bet for saving at least a few hundred dollars a month, have been rising at an even faster rate than their doorman-building counterparts, effectively closing the gap between the two…. so much so that even if you've never before considered doorman-apartment living, you might want to take a look and see if the now only-slight increase in some parts of town gives you a bigger bang for your monthly-rental buck.
Anyway, the strong Manhattan rental apartment market doesn't mean you can't still find good value apartments. In fact, as New York Magazine recently reported, even in the city's priciest neighborhoods–Tribeca, the West Village, Soho, and swaths of the Upper West and East Sides–there is below-market rate housing to be found, if you're willing to make minor sacrifices. They found, for example, a one-bedroom on West 12th Street listed for more than $400 below the neighborhood's usual going rate, a deduction driven mostly by the fact that the apartment was semi-furnished, "making it awkward for tenants who bring their own stuff."
There was a Junior One Bedroom apartment on 102nd Street that's going for more than $800 less than the Upper West Side average of $2,216, and it's pretty roomy, with roof-deck access and a walk-in closet. The downside? No view, and because it's a sublet in a co-op building, prospective tenants have to sit before the co-op board for an interview. One more example: a Chelsea one-bedroom that was listed for over $1000 a month below the neighborhood average, mostly because the kitchen is "a bit dated".
The point is that you can always find below market rate apartments in NYC if you're willing to keep an open mind, and know what's important to you, and what you can live without. Plus, be patient and do A LOT of research. Of course, not everyone will be lucky enough to get one of these value apartments. However, the best way to save money right off the bat is to avoid finding your apartment with a broker, and using a website dedicated to no-fee apartments, such as Urban Edge.

Kate and Will couldn't wait to get baby George out of London. After one night at their apartment in Kensington Palace, the new parents zoomed off to the little village of Bucklebury in Berkshire. But there's another royal hideaway that gets little attention these days...
The birth of the newest royal puts Diana back in the hearts and minds of our entire generation. We watched her fairy tale wedding; lived through her challenges; grew to adore and were devastated by her death. As many of us are becoming grandparents, we feel a fresh wave of pain at her loss.
Prince George has many years to live up to the name carried by many a royal and many a celebrity, but we all know he will inevitably become a heart-throb in his own right. Here's a list of our favorite heart-throb George's of all time.
There was a time, not all that long ago, when thrift stores and consignment shops were seen exclusively as the domain of penny-pinching grandmas. But ...
No matter whether you hear him called -- "George Cambridge," "George Wales" or "George Mountbatten-Windsor" -- the closest thing to a statutory surname that our new little prince will have will be "Windsor."
To address when I commented -- with deliberate irony -- how "brilliant a royal Kate is" [for having a boy], perhaps I should share the historical context that some appear to have missed, where many a royal wife suffered at the hands of her husband for not producing a male heir.
In this age of 24-7 paparazzi shots, most high profile new mothers hide out until they get their figures back into photo ready mode. But Middleton didn't do that, instead showing what a real mother's body looks like immediately after birth.
Royal Prince babies and Weiners! It has been one heck of a week. Who knew things would be so eventful. I don't understand Anthony Weiner though... how can you just keep messin' up like that?
Harry's role in this young family's life is an important and unique aspect of the bond that has developed between William and Harry. This, in turn, can also inform our understanding of sibling relationships in general.
How did we get to this ridiculous place, where losing the baby weight is a competitive sport followed by millions?
You may feel your children have nothing in common with the newborn Prince, but they share something with every other child on this planet.
It's not that I am not happy for Will and Kate -- I suppose that I am, as I would be for any couple giving birth to a healthy baby. However, I simply couldn't watch all the media coverage, as it brought up all the pain, time and energy I spent in pursuit of my own baby bump, birth and baby.
But seriously ya'll, I truly believe that if Jesus came back today, he would probably be holding his face in his hands in utter disbelief. In fact, I'd even bet that he'd opt for a name change.
To help the royal family sort through the long list of potential "wannabe princesses," here is a cheat sheet of play-date-worthy tots and those to avoid on the playground.
But the American media obsession with the British monarchy, and the line of succession, is appalling. I mean, really: Who cares who'll be king? This isn't Game of Thrones (unfortunately).
In the spirit of continuing to blend tradition and her own thoroughly modern mark on the royal family, this is my official royal request for Kate to add blogger to her title.

@WP Administration folks! Please help!
The following two posts are very similar to the issue I'm experiencing but there seems to be no resolve, so I figured I'd open a new post with more details, to get the attention of someone who could possibly fix the problem, as I'm without a very important blog 4 days counting;
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226559 (post by: Digg50)
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224318 (post by: guioconnor)
My setup:
Hosted by 1and1.co.uk, using MySQL5.0, upgrading from 2.6.5 ==> 2.7
After upgrading from 2.6.5 ==> 2.7 successfully which is what it WP told me, I'm left with a login page that reloads each time I enter the correct username and password. And gives me error messages when enter incorrect username or password.
I go to http://www.xxx.com/wp-admin (or wp-login), enter my login credentials and the page reloads with the following url now:
And as I mentioned I get the same login page, no errors, nothing.
What I have tried before this post:
I've almost reached the end of going through every single post related to the similar issues with no luck and kind of lost as to where I go from here. In summary I've done the following;
Clearing cache, cookies, disabling firewall, different computers, different browsers, removing my plugins folder and replacing it with just a empty plugins folder, and updating and making sure my config files are correct and checking my DB urls as this site explains http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/ all with no luck.
I don't know to much about cookies but guessing that its related to this, but don't know how to fix it; using the Firefox Web Developer Toolbar, I found the following results if these are any use to anyone who may be able to resolve this problem;
The authentication cookie is being set in the response after sending the initial login request which appears to work, but is not being sent back in the subsequent request.
I tried setting the cookies manually (the ones provided in the response header) using web developer toolbar and reloading the admin page. Doing this gave me the 'Please log in again.' message which we had not been previously seeing, but had been posted about in the WP forum.
Can anyone help knowing this information? WP folks, please chime in as I have been through a lot of forum posts and not had much luck.
Thanks all.

By Karl Weisel (USAG Wiesbaden)March 5, 2012
WIESBADEN, Germany - A partnership at one Wiesbaden school is bringing the study of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) classes to life for middle school students. As the unit partner for Wiesbaden Middle School, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Europe District, shares its experience, expertise and know-how -- helping underscore the real-world applications of those subject areas.
"We work closely with the principal at the beginning of the year to see what students need," said Jennifer Aldridge with the USACE, Europe District, Public Affairs Office. "We want to tie in to what the students are doing in the classroom and be relevant.
"With the big focus on STEM, we're trying to help bolster student interest in those areas," Aldridge said.
Ben Jones, an architect with the corps, was a guest speaker in Mely Arnold's eighth-grade mathematics class Feb. 23 during National Engineers Week.
"This is very relevant to what they're doing in class," said Arnold, explaining that having guest speakers such as Jones and fellow engineers, the students can see the connection between the theory and its application.
It also promotes the school's Continuous School Improvement goal of ensuring that "all students raise their mathematic and computational skills in all content areas," she said.
"This is an opportunity to give back," said Jones, who joined the Europe District last October and has worked with the Corps of Engineers for more than two years.
"Being an architect in Europe is like being a kid in a candy store," he said, describing the opportunity to examine some of the world's great architectural works first-hand. "There's such a rich history and lots to be learned here in Europe."
Demonstrating some of the computer applications architects use to design structures -- SketchUp and AutoCAD -- Jones told the students, "You can create photo realistic images on the computer that you can't by hand." But, he also pointed out, being able to draw can help the architect in showing a client what a building or buildings might look like when completed in their natural surroundings.
Jones, who studied architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology and worked for the Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before coming to Germany, also stressed the importance of learning good communications skills while in school. "Another important task that we do is coordinating the design of a structure with the engineers."
Students asked a wide variety of questions ranging from the importance of studying calculus in college to what an architect studies.
"Architectural programs put a lot of emphasis on architectural development," Jones said, explaining that a building might represent various aspects of society -- "people, politics, culture."
Students were also curious as to which types of engineers had the "hardest" jobs. "It really depends on the type of project," said Jones, adding that structural engineers might have the most challenging tasks.
Jones' visit was one of several by USACE professionals aimed at helping put a face on how classroom learning is applied in real-world occupations.

For anyone who has ever been to Zurich before, you know that our real estate is one of our greatest features. People come from miles around to admire the beautiful landscape that our little town has to offer.
In fact, given our unique geography and natural resources, we have quite a booming real estate market. It's popular for people to buy vacation homes in the area, as Zurich is a popular vacation spot during the summer.
It's common for real estate agents to specialize in individual areas. During my recent trip to Michigan, I saw a number of realtors that special in lakefront properties. Harpe realty comes to mind. They are very respected Michigan lakefront property sellers in the area. Just as realtors specialize in their own individual markets like lakefront or commercial properties, Zurich is quickly becoming a vacation hot spot.
We have seen an explosion of resort communities, vacation associations, among other things that have both excited and dismayed the locals. Some don't like the development, while others say it's great for the community and brings in a much needed tax base during these hard economic times.
One of the most active members of the development crew that is really making the lives better each and every day is the local real estate association. They recently held that annual banquet get together and invited me to attend the event.
It sounds a lot more important than it really is. It's just a few local realtors, business owners, journalists, teachers, and their families. The president of the association spoke on some of the most recent developments and talked about some future projects, which were all very exciting.
New Real Estate Developments
One of the coolest ideas that are being talked about is the redesign of the public commons in Zurich. Local real estate agents are working together with city hall to repurpose the downtown region by adding more parking spaces for local businesses.
Currently, there is a two-lane road that runs through downtown going in either direction.
Given that our community is becoming a great spot for tourists and shoppers to go to, a few local residents and business owners wonder why there is no parking in the downtown for shoppers. After all, if you want to get customers in the doors of your store or restaurant, you need to give them a space to park
This is what the new revitalization campaign is looking to do. By removing one of thru lanes of traffic, the council will be able to add parking spots on both sides of the road for businesses and tourists.
Economic Benefit
There is expected to be a huge economic benefit from making this change to the downtown layout. It may not seem like much, but the changes will be huge.
Think about it as if you were a tourist yourself. If you are driving past a cute little shop, but you have no idea where to stop or where to park, how likely are you to turn around to try and find someplace to go?
You're a lot less likely to. By giving tourists easy access to your stores and restaurants, we can spur growth for our communities, businesses, residents, and schools.

Freeloaders Take About $50 Million Worth of Bus Rides Annually
Bleeding the agency $2.50 at a time.
The MTA estimates that riders who hop on city buses through less traditional means rip off the the agency to the tune of about $50 million annually, triple what the agency previously believed, according to the Daily News. "This is situation we have to get under control," said MTA board member Allen Cappelli. "Not only is it a significant amount of revenue, but you're allowing people to behave in a lawless manner." Solutions include increased NYPD enforcement and thousands of riders suddenly developing the urge to pay.
