Hearings set for Pa. newlyweds in Craigslist death
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The newlyweds charged with fatally stabbing a stranger they lured with an ad on Craigslist are being represented by different court-appointed lawyers and are scheduled to have separate preliminary hearings this week.
Elytte Barbour, 22, and his wife, Miranda, 18, of Selinsgrove in central Pennsylvania, are being held without bail in different counties, charged with criminal homicide and other offenses in the apparently random killing of 42-year-old Troy LaFerrara in Sunbury on Nov. 11.
Miranda Barbour is expected to plead not guilty, said her lawyer, Edward Greco, the Northumberland County chief public defender. Elytte Barbour is being represented by a different court-appointed lawyer, who didn't return several phone messages seeking comment.
Both hearings are slated for Friday at the Northumberland County Courthouse, hers in the morning and his in the afternoon.
The couple, who recently moved to Pennsylvania and got married in North Carolina three weeks before the slaying, stabbed LaFerrara 20 times and dumped his body in an alley simply because they wanted to kill someone together, Elytte Barbour told investigators, according to police affidavits.
His wife told police that she met the victim after he responded to her Craigslist ad offering companionship for money and that they traveled in her vehicle from Selinsgrove to Sunbury, a small city about 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Elytte Barbour told police he was hiding under a blanket in the back seat when his wife picked up LaFerrara and drove to Sunbury, where they parked. At a prearranged signal, he said, he came out of hiding and pulled a cable cord tight around LaFerrara's neck while his wife stabbed him.
LaFerrara, a resident of nearby Port Trevorton, was gasping for air as she drove around looking for a spot to dump the body, investigators said Miranda Barbour told them. She took his wallet afterward and acknowledged throwing the knife into the Susquehanna River several days later, investigators said.
Although police affidavits now indicate both defendants admit participating in the slaying, only Miranda Barbour was charged at first, saying she stabbed LaFerrara after police discovered the last call received by his cellphone was made from her number.
Elytte Barbour, in an interview with The Daily Item newspaper in Sunbury, defended his wife, calling her an entrepreneur who hired herself out through website ads to provide "delightful conversation" — never sex, he insisted — with lonely men who paid her as much as $850. He maintained that she stabbed LaFerrara in self-defense.
Three days after his wife was charged, he was, too.

Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health: A Resource for Advanced Practice Psychiatric and Primary Care Practitioners in Nursing
Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health: A Resource for Advanced Practice Psychiatric and Primary Care Practitioners in Nursing
ISBN: 978-0-470-96328-9 January 2012 Wiley-Blackwell 592 Pages
As an increasing number of children and adolescents with psychiatric symptoms go unrecognized in our current healthcare system, the ability to identify and treat these issues in multiple healthcare settings has become vitally important. With access to primary care providers increasing and a shortage of child psychiatric providers, collaboration between psychiatric, pediatric and family advanced practice nurses is essential to improving care for this vulnerable population. Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health provides a practical reference to aid in this endeavour. Written and reviewed by over 70 nurse experts, it is a must-have reference for all practitioners caring for children and adolescents.

Meet the Woman with the World's Largest Natural Breasts
A while back, we told you about a chick who'd had a dozen surgeries in an effort to wind up with the world's biggest rack. Right now she has an L-cup, but which seems pretty massive — until you see the ZZZ-cup being hauled around by a woman named Annie. And hers are completely home-grown.
The Virginia woman, who's set to appear on TLC's 'Strange Sex,' wears a bra size of 102ZZZ. And while that looks like something that might be typed if you fell asleep on your keyboard, it's very real — and very, very heavy. Annie's boobs weigh 85 pounds. Ouch.
She suffers from a condition called gigantomastia, which is slow progressive growth of breast tissue, and she's had it pretty much all her life — she started wearing a bra in the third grade. So why hasn't she sought medical attention to fix it?
"I've never thought about bringing a knife to myself," she says. "Why fix something that's not broken?"
Annie is in the Guinness Book of World Records, and she's made a living doing hundreds of softcore porn videos under the name Norma Stitz — but fame does have its price. She says she's chased and therefore has security, which is probably a good thing because we can't imagine she could outrun anyone with the weight of several bowling balls strapped to her chest.

So, I've not been around these parts for some time. A few things have changed for me, in the kitchen and otherwise. Combined with my inherent inertia, they provide such explaination as I can offer for my absence.
There's been a bit of ennui here, food-wise, since I was notified, via an impersonal, blunt email, that I've got type-2 diabetes. (It turns out that my doctor did not have my changed phone number, and was not, after all, exhibiting uncharacteristic chilliness. She is actually extremely nice, and, even better, is a tiny little bit plump-a truly lovely trait in a PCP, I feel.)
This turn of events is far from tragic, and, in fact, I am fairly pleased to report that I've been righteously compliant. In fact, in addition to getting my blood sugar on the right track, I've lost a nice chunk of weight. Because, not surprisingly, I do not wish to die an early, preventable death, and it does seem like I can probably do something about that. I've even been reading up on how this insulin-resistance stuff works- believe me when I tell you that is a big yawn and a half- but I need to know what I'm doing. So.
I've been eating a sort of generalized low carb, diabetic-exchange kind of diet, with attention to avoiding sugar, white flour, and refined carbs in general. It seems to be working for me, and is certainly not revolting, food-wise. But it cannot be denied that it is boring, both in the preparation and the eating. I think both the diet and my medication are dulling my appetite, which is convenient, but not conducive to much in the way of putting up preserves or babbling on about meals and such. Nor have I acheived such sveltishness that I am driven to write about fashion and glamour.
I need to keep up with all this virtuous behaviour, and lose more weight- in aid of which I have actually purchased a hideously ugly, awkward, space-guzzling recumbent exercise bike. And I am actually using it, more or less daily. In fact, I must grudgingly admit that I'm growing fond of the thing, much though I loathe this sort of pointless exercise on principle. It's just been such a good solution- except for the tripping over it when it's not in use and the ruining the looks of the place aspect. Oh, and the spending of a ton of perfectly good money intended for holiday travel.
Still, though, while it is very much more fun to go on a long interesting walk, when the windchill is -2F, and sidewalks icy, that is just not happening for me- at least not on a daily basis. Nor am I going to some gym after work to do aquarobics- the other highly recommended exercise for people with bum knees. The idea of peeling off a chilly, damp swimsuit and dashing out into the cold with wet hair is pretty much anathema, as far as I am concerned.
The recumbent bike is entirely comfortable... hurting neither my back nor my knees, and I've been able to increase the extent of my so-called "work out"-ha- over time. And I can do the whole thing in pajamas, if I like. Although sometimes I picture myself with the mobile, outdoor version of the recumbent bicycle, riding merrily around the neighborhood, a shameless weirdo. But really- who wants to read or write about proper diet and exercise? Not me.
I'm not actually especially bummed out about any of this, though I do miss writing about food. Indeed, I could hardly be less downhearted, as the redfox and Steve have recently presented me with a delightful granddaughter, in the charming tiny person of the lovely Jane, aged 9 months. She is so cute that it is nearly ridiculous, as you can see here in the photo with her mama and the utterly gorgeous and brilliant, nearly-four-year-old Grace. All my lovely girls, my excellent son-in-law, and many other important-to-me people were with me here on Christmas eve. We had a large happy party with lots of food, including the sort I no longer eat much of, and all was glowingly good, in my book. Also, I get to go westcoastward next month, to visit redfox and company, which very much helps to blunt the woe of their return home.
I know there are worthy and well done blogs about eating with dietary restrictions and so on, but I just kind of don't wanna. If you see what I mean. However, that being said, there is something I want to try. A semi-defunct food blog seems just the right place for it, too. Something I would actually be interested in food-wise- regardless of the diabetes thing.
It turns out that while all bread is best kept to a minimum, whole wheat and sourdough breads are quite a bit less implicated than white ordinary ones. Further, nuts are kind of a good thing. I am a serious fan of artisan-type walnut breads, especially the whole wheat sort , loaded with walnuts, which toast up brilliantly, and are a super treat with cheese. The more walnuts, the less bread-per-slice, I figure. So, I have a recipe for a nice-sounding whole wheat, highly walnutty bread (it's a yeast recipe-Bernard Clayton) and some sourdough starter purportedly especially grown on, and good with, whole-wheat flour. I've got the starter going, and I'm going to try to combine the two, and see what I can come up with. If you haven't wandered off by now, frozen by dullness, perhaps you will check back here in a few days, and see how I'm doing?

James D Haberman, DDS, PLLC
My husband is a dentist in the Edmonds, WA. area. We have print materials that are outdated, as we purchased the practice 4 years ago and needed to get up and running quickly. We are in the process of automating our office and need a consistent, updated look. We serve the neighborhood in which we live. Edmonds has a saying, "It's an Edmonds kind of day." We have provide exceptional dental care for the entire family and provide both family and cosmetic dentistry.
We want our printed materials to be nice, professional and clean without being too fussy or fancy. Simple and warm. Most of our patients are between the ages of 25 and 49 years of age. We service our local community. Edmonds is right on the Puget Sound with a ferry terminal and lots of neighborhood boutique stores, lots of coffee shops, etc.
We want to use our logo on the card and want to be consistent with the company name which is James D Haberman, DDS, PLLC. The font is Eras Bold for his name. We also have a tag line on our sign that reads, "Family and Cosmetic Dentistry". The font used for that is Monotype Corsiva. Our sign color is Cranberry with brushed silver letters.
Inside our office we have very warm, northwest colors like taupe, light moss green and slate blue/gray in the operatories. Our logo leans towards the gray color. I've attached a copy of our logo. In addition, I've attached a copy of a "first run" brochure. It should give you a feel for what our practice is all about.
We don't like a lot on our cards. Not too cluttery.
We need our contact info: 9529 244th St. SW, Edmonds, WA. 98020, Office: 206-542-7557, Fax: 206-546-2214, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
We do not like dark colors like black, navy, etc. We prefer to use colors already on our sigh or inside the office as mentioned above.Our current website is http://www.jamesdhaberman.com, although keep in mind that our website is the next thing to be updated! Content may help you?
My husband is a very personable man and everyone always says he's the nicest man they've ever met. We want our business cards to have that same feel - again, not too "showy".
Our current letterhead has the business name on the top of the page. This is not a necessity, but would make printing easier, as we wouldn't have to change our current print settings from our computer.
Our computers can print from pdf files.

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, or backbone. Instead of a straight vertical line from the neck to the buttocks, the spine has a C- or S-shape.
Types of scoliosis include:
Scoliosis may also be described as infantile, juvenile, or adolescent based on the child's age at onset.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The different types of scoliosis have different causes.
Structural scoliosis—classified by the cause of the vertebral body defect:
Functional scoliosis may be caused by:
In some cases, scoliosis may be caused by damage to the vertebral body from:
Factors that may increase your child's risk of developing syndromic scoliosis include having conditions that affect muscles and nerves, such as
muscular dystrophy
cerebral palsy.
Idiopathic scoliosis is more common during the rapid growth phase of adolescence. Family history of scoliosis may also increase your child's chance of developing scoliosis.
Girls are more likely to have more severe curves. Scoliosis severity may also be influenced by:
In most cases, scoliosis doesn't have symptoms that can be felt. It is generally detected during a screening test, but may be noticed by the child or another person.
Some schools have
scoliosis screening programs. If scoliosis is detected in school, you will be advised to follow-up with your doctor.
Scoliosis may may cause:
More severe cases of scoliosis can lead to:
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Scoliosis can be diagnosed on examination of the back and spine. The exam may include:
X-rays are usually done to:
Your child's doctor may recommend other tests to see if the scoliosis is caused by underlying health condition.
Functional scoliosis is reversible with treatment of the underlying condition.
Children with structural types of scoliosis will be referred to a spinal specialist if treatment is needed.
Scoliosis treatment depends on many factors. These include:
In general, children with a mild curve are treated with observation. This means your child will have regular follow-up exams and sometimes x-rays to see if the curve worsens. Frequency of follow-up appointments depends on age, stage of growth, and the severity of the curve.
Other treatment methods include:
The goal of bracing is to prevent curves from getting worse. The doctor may recommend that your child wear a
brace if they are still growing and the curve is more than 20 degrees, but less than 40 degrees. Once growing stops, the need for more treatment will depend on the size of the curve and how it affects your child's appearance and function.
Bracing may not be helpful in girls who have had their period for more than a year, in children who have attained full growth, or are within one year of full pelvic bone growth.
Bracing will feel uncomfortable at first. Children will need lots of support to wear the brace as prescribed, as well as encouragement to foster a positive body image.
In severe cases where the curvature is greater than 40 degrees, your child's doctor may recommend surgery to lessen the curve or stop it from worsening if they are still growing. If they are done or almost done growning, it will be recommended for a curve greater than 50 degrees.
Surgery typically involves fusing the vertebrae of the spine together or the use of internal rods to decrease the curvature. Hospitalization can last 5-7 days. Recovery can take several months. Surgical techniques using stapling methods or implants, as well as other surgical techniques, are also available, but some are still experimental.
There are no current guidelines for preventing scoliosis because the cause is usually unknown.

THE SOMERSET Rebels have a busy schedule ahead of them as they face the prospect of three matches in as many days.
They start with a trek up to the North East tonight (Thursday) to face the Redcar Bears in the Premier League, before returning to the Oak Tree Arena on Friday for the visit of the Ipswich Witches in what is scheduled to be Somerset's final group match in the League Cup.
After initially thinking that their participation in the League Cup had come to an end as a result of their recent defeat at Plymouth, their demolition of Rye House at the Oak Tree Arena last Friday has opened the door a-jar to give the Rebels an outside possibility of progressing through to the semi-final stages of the competition.
To do this they need to win against Ipswich by seven points or more to gain all three match points and hope that Peterborough, the current group leaders, lose both of their remaining group matches which are away at Plymouth, also on Friday evening, and then on Sunday when they visit Rye House.
Finally, the Rebels travel to Cumbria on Saturday where they will face the Workington Comets in the first leg of the first round KO Cup tie between the two sides.
Somerset will be hoping looking to keep the scores tight ahead of the second leg, which is due to be held at the Oaktree Arena a week Friday (May 9) - and if they are looking for any lucky omens, on the two previous occasions that Somerset have won the Knock Out Cup, in 2008 and again last year, they have defeated Workington on their way to winning the trophy.
Team manager Garry May said: "It's a tough schedule, but the boys are well up for it, they responded well to the disappointment of our loss at Plymouth to take Rye House apart at home last Friday to give us a glimmer of a chance of qualifying for the semi-final stages of the League Cup, before we then head up to Workington to start the defence of our Knock Out Cup crown."

Ok to those that said they tried boots for 20min you have no idea what you are talking about! 20min is not enough time to dial in riding with boots let alone fully realize their advantages.
Not all conditions are for boots.
Not all spots are good for boots.
If waves are good hell I'll take ok, I'm strapless on my surfboard.
Board offs look gay. (my opinion) So why would I do them?
Too sum it all up boots are not for everyone.

Store History
- Founded by: Ralph and Michelle Montemurro
- Headquarters: Toronto, Ontario
It's not a coincidence that most of our favorite designers of furniture for children and families are parents themselves. In addition to a keen design eye, life with four children has taught Ralph and Michelle Montemurro of Monte Design what modern parents want - "comfortable, functional and design-driven products."
We've been eying the Cubino chair (also available as a loveseat) for our own home because we appreciate how the friendly, colorful seat is balanced out by the neutral body so it won't stick out like a sore thumb among our adult furniture.
The Ninna Nanna bassinet is one we've long admired not just for its sleek look but for its versatility - being able to remove the top basket portion is a smart feature and the piece has a mature enough look that we could imagine using it for storage (stuffed animals especially) long after our baby had moved on to a crib or other sleeping arrangement.
We hear from parents all the time how hard it is to find an attractive rocker or glider for nursing, cuddling and reading. While we know they're not in everyone's budget we always point to Monte Design's five gliders/rockers as a terrific option - all have clean, modern lines for use anywhere in the home and need not be relegated just to the nursery.
If you'd like to see how Monte Design Group's products can integrate into a family home - look no further than Ralph and Michelle's own home which Apartment Therapy Chicago was lucky enough to profile.

So basically you are using a post about the new OpenSUSE release to troll about Gnome Shell ... great, well done. Honestly I wish people would stop using this hyperbole whenever Gnome Shell or Unity is talked about - "Unusable" maybe for you (and others) but that does not mean for everybody ... I happen to like Gnome Shell (as do others) and it is very usable for me and will be improving with time. Rough edges or lack of features are to be expected for the first few releases. I also like the Gnome Vision about Gnome OS and the plans for the new Gnome Applications all nicely integrated.
Apart from that there are many other DEs, not just KDE that may cater for your needs (XCFE or LXDE to mention only two) - nothing against KDE of course, but to call it the only possible refuge, such bollocks/Hyperbole again, but I forgot you possible just wanted to Troll.
But hey please feel free to return to Windows (is that supposed to be a threat? Only asking because it seems to be used a lot in discussion around different DEs, "... right that's it I will return to Windows!") - You hate Gnome Shell? Well I am sure you will love Windows 8 :-)

Sadly, my confidence was dashed when I finished reading the continued story on Page A-8, only to find on Page A-9 your article "Man shot in convenience store parking lot downtown." Whom can we believe now?

2013 Net Incomes for Grain Farms Likely Below Levels in Recent Years
At the time of this writing, the critical periods for determining corn and soybeans yields are near. Unlike last year, weather conditions do not appear to be adversely impacting yields and near normal yields could occur. Futures contracts prices are now suggesting prices for fall delivery near $5 per bushel for corn and $12 per bushel for soybeans. Given these prices and near normal yields, 2013 net incomes would be below those of recent years. This is illustrated by simulating 2013 farm incomes.
Farm Situation
Net farm income is simulated for the following farm designed to be representative of commercial grain farms in Illinois:
Projected 2013 Net Farm Incomes
Net farm incomes are projected for different yield-price scenarios. The first has yields slightly above average: 195 bushels per acre for corn and 58 bushels for soybeans. These yields are used under the presumption that weather conditions will be normal during the upcoming critical yield-determination periods. Prices are near current cash bids for fall delivery: $4.80 for corn and $12.00 for soybeans. This will result in $146,000 of net farm income (See Table 1).
-Click images to view larger versions-
To evaluate sensitivity of incomes to prices, net incomes are projected for two lower price scenarios. Prices are lowered to $4.60 per bushel for corn and $11.35 per bushel for soybeans. While lower than current forward contract prices, these prices have a reasonable chance of occurring. Yields are increased to account for a usual positive relationship between yields and prices: 200 bushels per acre of corn and 50 bushels per acre for soybeans. Net farm income under these prices and yields is $116,840.
The final scenario has a price of $4.30 per bushel for corn and $10.50 per bushel for soybeans. This represents a substantial drop in prices over recent levels. Yields are increased to 205 bushels per acre for corn and 64 bushels per acre for soybeans. This scenario results in $87,600 of net farm income.
Projected Incomes Compared to Recent Historical Incomes
Between 2007 and 2011, average net incomes on grain farms in Illinois have exceeded $200,000 in all years but 2009. Even though 2012 was a drought year with low yields, net incomes in 2012 were in the high $200,000s because of high commodity prices and because crop insurance covered yields shortfall.
Projected 2013 incomes are below recent incomes. A couple of reasons exist for lower 2013 net incomes. First, commodity prices are projected at lower levels than in recent years. For example, the $4.90 corn price used to simulate 2013 incomes compares to average farmer received prices of $5.34 in 2010, $6.24 in 2011, and $6.80 in 2012. Second, costs have increased dramatically in recent years. The combination of lower commodity prices and higher costs leads to lower projected incomes.
Near average yields and commodity prices at current harvest bid levels will result in lower net incomes compared to average incomes in recent years. Of course, these are early projections and yields and prices could differ from those used in the above projections. Income projections will be more certain once more is known about 2013 yields. Hence, actual incomes could vary substantially from those projected here.
Lower net incomes are not necessarily suggestive of financial pressures. More likely, incomes in recent years were high because a variety of factors led to relatively high corn and soybean prices. Projection contained herein may represent more usual income levels than incomes in recent years.

Grae's Rating:
The Darkest 90 Minutes Ever.
Serious, diverting, silly, uncomfortable, educational, touching…whatever it is, a movie should provide an experience that makes it worth setting aside 90-plus minutes and hard-earned dollars for it. The Darkest Hour is one of those films that lies so far on the fringes of what movies should be that I am actually mad that it exists. This is possibly the most joy-sucking film of 2011.
This should have been great counter-programming to all the awards-season fodder packing cineplexes this time of year. It's a science-fiction tale set in Russia, where aliens show up to do what aliens do best, which is take over our weak Earth society and blow holes in the walls of dark, sexy nightclubs. I came in wanting to see girls in shimmery tops sliding around in spilled Cosmopolitans while their idiot boyfriends with bad haircuts get incinerated in 3D. Sadly, I left a broken woman, because I had unknowingly bought a ticket to see the unofficial sequel to Skyline, minus the decent effects.
Imagine someone handing art director-turned-director Chris Gorak a copy of Into the Wild and saying, "You know this kid Emile Hirsch? He's really interesting when you let him talk crazy talk and convince people and cats to wear light bulbs around their necks. Also, as an art director, I'm sure you'll appreciate a movie where occasionally visible big gold blobs of light are the bad guys. Shall we do this?" And Gorak said yes, and let Hirsch's eyes shine with madness while he flaps his jaw, which is the only flicker of hope in the entire film. The rest of it is just a shapeless mess of all the lamest parts of other alien invasion flicks. All the character archetypes are there, although it seems like this movie puts effort into not giving them any kind of humanity or interesting qualities. Even when the invisible aliens are finally revealed, they just seem like really cranky, unimpressive time-turners from Harry Potter.
(Spoilers follow) There are moments that seem like tiny messages from this movie in an alternate universe, where it was actually interesting and fun to watch. I think someone in the costume department was putting in an honest effort when they outfitted one Russian vigilante with a vest made entirely of keys--well, either that or they found something cool in their grandmother's basement last minute. And when Max Minghella, possibly the main character of the film, eats it while saving a young girl's life, that would have been tragic and memorable in the bizarro-world version. Here, it's just another piece of evidence that helps lock in the verdict that you just wasted time and inflated 3D ticket prices for a whole lotta nothin'.

Notice the brick paver driveway and the attractive garage door. Antique shutters surround the front window, while an old bench sits out front. I love the copper gutters! To the right is the side garden which leads to the hidden front door.
Now that the West University Home Tour benefiting WU Elementary is over, for those who don't live in Houston, homeowner Heidi Dugan is graciously letting us see these pictures of her beautiful house first published in Houston House and Home magazine. Dugan is a well known real estate agent in Houston, working for Greenwood King. She built this house several years ago using inspiration she got after traveling to France and Italy. The house is filled with antique architectural elements brought over from Europe which give the house its special feel. Interior Designer Ginger Barber sourced old and antique beams, flooring, shutters, and furniture from Houston dealers and also directly from Europe. While the house itself is outstanding, the outdoors really set it apart. There are two courtyards – one for dining and one that surrounds a small swimming pool. The front door, with its side entrance, is reached through antique iron gates, creating a third outdoor space.
The side garden behind a wood and iron door, leads to the front door. The pergola gives this space a room like feel.
In this picture of the foyer, you can see the iron railing on the gracefully curved staircase. Antique trumeau and candlesticks sit on a French console.
The living room, across form the entry, faces out to the front yard seen through the large arched window. Linen was used for the curtains and slipcovers. The contemporary coffee table is juxtaposed against a trio of antique chairs. Notice the gorgeous ceiling beams that came from France. The rug is the only bright pattern found downstairs which is mostly cream, ivory, and white.
The dining room has a beyond fabulous antique French chandelier. The table is Italian and the fabric on the chairs is Fortuny. Just gorgeous!
In the kitchen, antique beams were used for the crown molding. The island is an antique shop counter. The countertops are 17th century stones! Amazing! The floor is Portuguese tile.
Slipcovers and seagrass, a popular Houston look which Ginger Barber helped define. The star of the family room is the 17th century mantel. The antique beams found throughout are from Chateau Domingue. Out the doors is the "swimming pool courtyard" – one of two courtyards found on the property.
In the powder room, a stone trough becomes the sink. The trumeau and sconces are both French antiques.
The upstairs landing features a vignette with an antique console and a pair of balustrade lamps. What a great idea – blow up one family picture instead of having framed pictures spread throughout. Love that!
Heidi's bedroom is all linen in beiges and sages. Hey - that rhymes! The desk is an antique. Notice the pair of lamps taken from old vases. I love the slipcovered bench at the end of the bed and the candelabra in the corner. The ceiling is vaulted and lined with beams.
The dining courtyard features a large limestone table and a mirror made out of an 19th century zinc French window. The landscaping is all green, mostly from box, bamboo, and vines.
The same space – here you can see the 18th century fountain set up on a wall made of 19th century stone blocks. I really love the pair of stone columns and finial. So pretty!
The second courtyard, off the family room, is where the swimming pool is. To one side is a draped pergola that creates an outside room.
Without the pet dog, you can see the courtyard better. I love the table and the draped banquette under the pergola.
Heidi Dugan, an real estate expert on West University and surrounding neighborhoods, works at Greenwood King and can be reached HERE. To read more about this house see the article in Houston House and Home HERE. All these beautiful photographs were taken by Miro Dvorscak. Visit his web site HERE.
The builders were Overstreet Builders. Helping with the plans was architect Travis Mattingly. Ginger Barber did the interiors and Thompson Hanson did the landscaping.

The cotton high price party has long been over, but the hangover lingers on.
And the cotton industry could continue to suffer from the impact of mills failing to fully honor their contracts, according to Kevin McDermott, vice president/senior manager for cotton merchant Jess Smith and Sons, Bakersfield, Calif.
Following the high prices in the last two years, growers worldwide expanded production while mills concerned about economic uncertainty became reluctant buyers. McDermott says cotton-buying textile mills are "not anxious to extend coverage very far." As a result, world stocks are now forecast by USDA to reach a record level of 74 million bales worldwide.
China has seen the largest jump in stocks, with large purchases made for the government reserves, in order to support internal grower prices. Questions remain for the upcoming season about how much more China will buy for their reserves and whether any of these reserves will be available to the market.
As the market wonders how long the hangover will linger, fortunately, California is looking at a record crop that has not cost an arm and a leg to produce.
Elsewhere in the world there are some concerns about crop prospects with both Texas and India facing drought issues. For India it is "significant," says McDermott, and that could have an impact on the burdensome world supply.
Compounding the big carryover, world consumption continues to falter. Some of this has to do with mills struggling with past record high-priced raw cotton purchases. Prices over the past two years created tremendous economic pressure on mills to the point that it has been difficult for them.
"There are a lot of sanctity of contract issues still unresolved," McDermott said. "From last March until now, the sale of 6 million bales of U.S. cotton has been cancelled. That is 40 percent of last year's crop."
There are a record number of arbitrations now under way and mills and shippers are trying to mitigate the financial crisis. Terms are being extended and cotton scheduled to be shipped last spring is now re-scheduled to leave the U.S. ports later this fall.
While California growers may be smiling at the prospect of a good, inexpensive 2012 crop, it will take a lot of upside to bolster cotton acreage for 2013. McDermott says California growers are already looking at the current lower prices as they start to focus on cotton for 2013.
(For more, see: SJV cotton crop cutting out with heavy boll load)
Pima represents more than half of the California cotton acreage, and ELS is struggling with a 268,000 bale carryover Aug. 1, the second largest behind the 305,000 bale 2009 carryover.
Pima demand
Fortunately, there has been a slight pickup in Pima demand. "It is not robust, but U.S. Pima is selling every week," McDermott says. A recent 2 cents per pound increase in price quote for the landed price of Pima was the first increase since a year ago, reports McDermott.
"Over the last month or so, Egyptian prices have risen sharply to where they are about 22 cents over the Pima price," he says.
McDermott believes that many of those Pima bales in the carryover will be sold by harvest time this fall.
Cotton right now is less attractive for 2013 than other crops like corn and cereal grains. However, growers are coming off a good yielding year and cottonseed prices are still strong. That may spare cotton from another dramatic acreage drop in the state. McDermott likes to remind California growers that often the best time to plant cotton is "when no one else is."

The ball started rolling in the Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Chris Rennaker (RVR store employee and Trailrunner Magazine cover boy) took on the 100-mile beast at the Cascade Crest 100 Mile. Success was his! After a grueling night of running Renn crossed the finish line in 22:22:47. He was paced by his good friend Aaron Brian. Rennaker's account of the event can be found below:
Chris Rennaker in his own words,
"The race started at 10am. So, lots of time to walk around and chat with fellow runners some I know some I'm meeting for the first time at the start area. We had huckleberry pancakes and fruit for breakfast at the Easton Fire Department. then did a pre-race breifing for 20 minutes. Everybody sort of shuffled to the start line and we were off.
The morning started out cloudy and never really got sunny at all during the day. I didn't get to see any of the vista's around the area that the race is known for. No Rainier, no craggy peaks or anything. Then it turned to night time and I didn't see a damn thing then either. I felt like I was running smart and at a good pace, not too fast, for 68 miles. But I think I may have been pushing it up the hills a little too much and that's what caused my quads to blowout around mile 85. I lost 8 places that last 15 miles. CCC 100 was the hardest thing I think I've ever done and really made me dig deep through the pain in my quads, knee and feet, to continue. At several points throughout the last 15 miles I told Aaron, that this has turned into a nightmare, a trainwreck, a f@#$ing disaster.
I laid down once at mile 91 or 92 and got passed by a runner, Aaron said to them "this is where runners go to die" in a nice deep voice. They did not get as much of a kick out of it as Aaron and I did, I got up and kept going. All in all, I was only 22 minutes over my 22 hour goal. I ran a 22:22 for my first 100 mile run."
Grand Teton 100 Mile
Erin runs through the aspens of the Tetons.
"Good news and bad news. Erin supplied the good news with a strong and happy finish - just under 30 hours (29:52) with a smile on her face the whole time and won our age group. I am the bad news (well, good and bad). I was doing really well and feeling great until mile 70 - holding pace for around a 23-24 hour finish, and 3rd woman most of the day - but huge blisters covering the heel pads on both feet eventually took me out at 75 miles. Miles 64-75 were a death march on my toes to avoid placing weight on my heels. Very painful. Big bummer.
Regardless, many smiles and good experiences. John was a stellar crew, and I owe big thanks to him and to Sean Meissner who stepped up to guest crew and help administer to my ravaged feet after he finished his own 50. We had great weather and a fun and challenging course. Both the overall male and female winners (Ty Draney and Ashley Nordell) broke course records (19:19 and 23:03, respectively), and the race directors and aid stations were incredibly supportive and well-prepared. The race is funny - really small and seems to be geared towards first-timers. The 4-loop course is probably not for everyone - some good views and a great climb and descent on one of the laps, but definitely requires some mental fortitude to stay excited through all four loops.
I'm trying to sort out what the hell happened to my feet - the blisters don't look or act like regular friction blisters and are showing some signs of infection which is scary. My doc ran a blood panel this morning to check for signs of hypo or hypernatremia and I'm on elevated feet house arrest until they clear up and I can take weight on them. But, I'm thrilled at how things went otherwise and am hoping to problem-solve this foot issue and take all the good
things into my next 100 and not DNF again.
Jody descends the meadows of Wyoming.
"Erin had a very solid first 100 at Tetons. She had a great attitude the entire way and managed herself very well. In the end she snuck in under her goal time of 30 hours with a 29:52 after a strong effort during the last 5 miles. Jody had a great 70 miles (running with the lead women) but her feet began to betray her and by mile 75 her heals were so badly blistered that running, let alone walking, was not going to happen. Though disappointed, she put out a great effort and ran 25 miles farther than she ever had. On reflection I'm sure she'll realize that she really put it out there and will be as proud as we were of her effort. Overall a beautiful day in the Tetons-no rain or wind-and mild temps. Ashley Nordell shattered the women's record with a 23 hour effort and Ty Draney broke the men's course record."

Wasatch Front 100 Mile
"I truly can't believe I made it. It seems so surreal now that we're back. I've been told in the past that if you're not sore after your race that you didn't run hard enough. Certainly I was sore the day after the race and yesterday during our 11 hour drive home, but today I feel as if it was all just a dream. Of course the reality of being back home and back to work is quite sobering, I still think I played my cards wisely and that I'm proud to have been successful.
Another thing that I heard several times before embarking on this 100 mile adventure was that the Wasatch 100 was a stupidly tough first hundred to tackle. A thought followed of course by another obvious one; that all 100-milers are tough. Why yes, yes they ridiculously are. 100 miles of heaven and hell is no joke. I knew that my legs would grow weary, that my breath would weaken and that the "lows" would tirelessly haunt me, but what I was happy to discover was that my spirit couldn't be broken, that my laugh wouldn't go unheard and that my smile could shine through even the thickest layers of dust. So with a little patience I was able to ride the ups and downs straight through the finishing tape and I have a kick-arse buckle to prove it.
It all just brings tears to my eyes. I wasn't emotional out there, like I've been in other races. But thinking about it now, about the hugs at the finish line and the encouragement at the aid stations, it really has become a special time for me to spend with family and friends... These crazy things bring us all together!
Certainly I would love to run another 100. I discovered that I'm a big fan of night running – lucky me."

Last night The Hundreds opened their Garfield Exhibition, the official celebration of their collaboration with the iconic comic character, that we reported about in an exclusive feature here.
While the collection impressed with a full range of clothing, sneakers, caps, beanies, skateboard decks and more, we can safely say that the event last night was the most impressive part about this project, bringing together an incredible line-up of artists, who all got inspired by Garfield and contributed a beautiful line-up of artworks to the exhibition. From Buff Monster, Bigfoot, Lance Mountain to Mark Dean Veca, the exhibition was filled with high profile artworks that of course sold out very quickly. People were lining up around the block to get into the exhibition. We have been reporting about this so-called streetwear scene for a while now and we do not know many brands that started right around the same time that we did and can pull off such a collaborative project. This is something that one usually only sees from large corporate brands. So, congrats to The Hundreds for this incredible turn-out. Jim Davis was of course also there and signed the entire evening product for his fans.

Now head on after the jump, check out lots of images of the paintings, The Hundreds x Garfield vinyl toys, the crowd and more.

A recent study by the Cortez First United Methodist Church found average attendance at Hope's Kitchen, their on-site free meal center, to be 113 per day.
Mission committee co-chair Eleanor Kuhl said the soup kitchen project is approaching its 12th year, and continues to serve a growing need in the community.
"We don't just serve the homeless," she said. "We're serving the unemployed, the underemployed, the elderly, children and families. We serve anybody who comes in. It is a broad spectrum."
During the height of the recession in 2009-10 Hope's Kitchen, located across from the Cortez Police Department, often served up to 165 people in a single day. The facility offers complete hot meals at noon on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.
Increasing demand has lead to a food-drive campaign to keep cupboards and freezers filled. In honor of the Denver Broncos, Hope's Kitchen launched "SOUPer Bowl Sunday" to inspire the community to donate food and cash so the humanitarian mission can continue to keep up.
The soup kitchen especially needs large cans of corn, beans, diced tomatoes, and other tomato products.
"Please plan ahead when you are shopping between now and February 2 and pick up some large # 10 cans of vegetables that we need for our community meals," Kuhl said. "We usually have the food drive within our church, so this time we thought we would open it up to the community focused around the Superbowl."
So far $70 and 20 cans have been collected.
Cans may be delivered to Hampton Hall at the Methodist Church, 515 N. Park St., Cortez, Saturday Jan. 25 from 9-3, or on "SOUPer Bowl" Sunday, Feb. 2, from 8:30 am until noon. Please bring the cans to the south entrance.
Larry Gessner, manager of Hope Kitchen, urges volunteers to come forward as well.
"Soup kitchens are little prone to the one-day volunteer, and we appreciate that, but we also can always use volunteers with more commitment who are willing to go on the schedule," he said.
In his third year, Gessner is seeing more demand for basic services in the community.
"I'd say 80 percent of our clientele are the working poor, individuals and families who cannot make it on low minimum wages," he said. "We're seeing more elderly folks because they can come in here and have their one big meal of the day, saving their fixed incomes to stretch out their food supplies at home."
Organizers report generous donations from Wal-mart, City Market, and Safeway.
"We've got plenty of hams and turkeys thanks to local grocery stores, but our canned vegetables need replenishing," Gessler said. "Really cash is also a good donation so we can continue the upkeep of the kitchen. We spend it on cleaning supplies, spices, equipment maintenance and upgrades."
New volunteer cook Michael Dupui is proud to use his culinary skills to serve the community.
"I'm an RVer who works at Mesa Verde seasonally. I'm here for the winter with free time, so I decided to help out," he said. "It is nice to see people enjoying our meals. They're thankful and I enjoy cooking and meeting the people."
An experienced cook, Dupui just served up Hungarian goulash, and is preparing chicken stew and homemade biscuits for an upcoming meal.
"If you know of any, we could use commercial-kitchen grade pots and pans, and good prepping knives as well," he said.
Excess supplies and food at Hopes Kitchen are shared with The Bridge Emergency Shelter, WINGS Safehouse, and other social welfare agencies in the community.
"Everybody is grateful for these meals," Kuhl said. "One thing we've been noticing is that attendance goes up toward the end of the month when people's wages come up short, or when monthly Social Security benefits run out."
If you prefer to send a monetary contribution instead of cans, please sent your check to Cortez First United Methodist Church, PO Box 1016, Cortez, CO 81321 and indicate on the memo line "Hopes Kitchen." For questions, call 564-0708 or 565-7990.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) LaMarcus Aldridge is getting a fresh start with his old team.
No, Aldridge never left the Trail Blazers, but this season is decidedly different for the All-Star forward.
``New pieces, new players, new locker room, new coach,'' he said. ``Everything's new.''
Of course, only time will tell whether that's a good thing or not.
The Blazers finished last season 28-38 and out of the playoffs for the first time in four years. They dismissed head coach Nate McMillan and let go of some of their more veteran players, choosing to build around Aldridge and swingman Nicolas Batum.
Aldridge, 27, is starting his seventh season with the Blazers. He's averaging 17.8 points and 7.5 rebounds for his career, but last season he averaged 21.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists while shooting a career-high 51.2 percent. And he made his first All-Star team.
Parallels could be drawn between this season and Aldridge's rookie year in 2006, when the team was trying to crawl out of the Jail Blazers era when it was known for its off-court trouble. But the 6-foot-11 power forward says there's a difference this season.
``My first time, it was much more dramatic. It was a team that was trying to change its image. It was a team that had won 21 games in the regular season,'' Aldridge said. ``So that time was a lot different than this one. This time we really have some good pieces, and I think guys are actually better this time. ``
Much of the cast that supported Aldridge in past seasons is now gone. Blazers starters Gerald Wallace and Marcus Camby were traded away. Brandon Roy retired, but has come back this season with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Center Joel Przybilla signed as a free agent with the Milwaukee Bucks.
A new Blazers team emerged over the summer. It started when the Blazers hired general manager Neil Olshey, who spent the past nine seasons with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Olshey went to work right away preparing for the NBA draft, and went on to land guards Damian Lillard and Will Barton and center Meyers Leonard. Olshey also won a chess match with Minnesota to keep Batum, who was a restricted free agent.
The Blazers' next internal move was to bring in head coach Terry Stotts, who was 115-168 as coach of the Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks but spent the past four seasons as an assistant with the Dallas Mavericks, where he won a championship.
Stotts has already spurred changes in Aldridge's style of play.
``I'm excited about my game, really. I feel that (Stotts') offense is tailored more to the elbow and that's what I've worked on this summer,'' Aldridge said. ``So I'm excited about showing people that I've gotten better.''
Aldridge is coming off offseason surgery to repair a slight labral tear in his right hip, a procedure he said was proactive. While he was a finalist for the U.S. Olympic team, Aldridge's recovery prevented him from earning a spot on the squad that won the gold medal in London.
Now fully healed, Aldridge led team workouts in September at the Blazers' Tualatin practice facility before the start of fall camp. The idea was to get to know the newcomers - especially Lillard.
Aldridge will obviously be working closely this season with Lillard, whom Olshey has labeled the team's franchise point guard. The sixth overall pick in the NBA draft, Lillard averaged 24.5 points, five rebounds and four assists as a junior last season at Weber State.
The rookie was impressive in the NBA Summer League, averaging 26.5 points, 5.3 assists and four rebounds in four games. In three preseason games, Lillard is averaging 16.3 points and five assists per game.
``We have a lot of young pieces that have the potential to be really, really good. I felt like seeing Damian in person and playing with him was big for me,'' Aldridge said. ``I want to start building that chemistry.''
Lillard added: ``It doesn't take long, just because I'm a willing passer, and so is he. As long as we're willing to work off each other and keep it simple - and we're not trying to force it or make it go one way or the other - I feed it to him, he's the All-Star. It's as simple as that.''
So far in the preseason, the Blazers are 2-2, coming off a 97-80 victory over the Denver Nuggets. Portland hosts Golden State on Friday night.
The Blazers open the regular season on Halloween night at home against the Los Angeles Lakers.
Oh, and as for that new locker room, the Blazers unveiled it before the Nuggets game on Wednesday night. It includes a hydrotherapy room and a smoothie bar.
Aldridge, meanwhile, is remaining realistic about the team's chances this season.
``I think there's going to be some ups and downs - with any young team you have some ups and downs,'' Aldridge said. ``With me, going through it my first season, we'd win one then lose three or four. I'm not saying it's going to be a down season but it's going to be hard sometimes.''

5-year-old apparently caused deadly helicopter crash by kicking flight controls, report says
PHOENIX – A federal accident report says a billionaire food-services company owner let his 5-year-old daughter sit on his lap in his helicopter's co-pilot seat and she apparently caused a 2010 crash near Phoenix that killed five people by kicking the flight controls.
The National Transportation Safety Board investigated the crash that killed Services Group of America owner Thomas J. Stewart for nearly three years before releasing its report Wednesday.
The report says it's "highly likely" the little girl suddenly pushed down on a control and either Stewart or his company pilot then quickly pulled up. That made the rotor blades bend and strike the tail boom.
The conclusion is being disputed by the lawyer for the pilot's family and by Stewart's privately held company. SGA moved to Arizona from Seattle in 2006.

My beachbody coach coach wants me to go on a no carb diet. I told him I would have to check and make sure that it is ok to do while I am breastfeeding. I think I should do a healthy low carb instead of a no carb. Suggestions?
My beachbody coach coach wants me to go on a no carb diet. I told him I would have to check and make sure that it is ok to do while I am breastfeeding. I think I should do a healthy low carb instead of a no carb. Suggestions?
No carb is probably okay for nursing, but IMO a healthy low-carb diet is probably better for you and for baby.
Are you going to be doing a lot of exercise? The reason I ask is that one thing moms often don't realize is that tight or ill-fitting sports bras can be detrimental to milk supply and can cause plugged ducts. If you haven't gotten a really good sports bra recently, now is the time! Title Nine sells good ones: http://www.titlenine.com/
I've started doing the Paleo diet, which involves eating no grains at all. All the carbs I get are from fruit and veggies. It's been about 2 months since I started and I have seen no adverse effects on breastfeeding (and I feel healthier). I am not doing it for weight loss, though, so I am not counting calories. I just eat until I'm full and make sure that I'm drinking tons of water. Here's an article that talks about low-carb diets and breastfeeding that may help you decide: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/nursi...#axzz1nG7S9Ih9.
Good luck!
I would do South Beach phase 2 and 3 only.
Way too lazy for formula
depends on what "no carbs" means. I would not give up fruits and veggies while breastfeeding. No way, no how. I would, however, be okay limiting the amount of grains, ya know? I don't know if you will have enough energy if you aren't getting any carbs while breastfeeding. I would be inclined to talk to your coach about having grains in the morning.

People need to understand that when they're deciding between breastmilk and formula, they're not deciding between Coke and Pepsi.... They're choosing between a live, pure substance and a dead substance made with the cheapest oils available. ~Chele Marmet
No carbs would mean... only protein and fat? I'm not an expert by any means, but I wouldn't think it would provide adequate nutrition for either you or your baby if you're not getting any fruits or vegetables. A healthy low carb diet sounds like the better option to me. LLL recommends eating a wide variety of foods in as a close to their natural state as possible.
Here are a couple articles on low carb diets while breastfeeding --

My OBGYN told me at my 6 week post partum check up to avoid no carb diets because some carbs are required for your health. I think that the fact you stipulated 'healthy low carb' you know that the alternative is no good for you, and thus your baby.
That is a great article from Mark. I would definitely watch your supply closely. Traditionally, the most lactogenic foods (milk-creating) have been grains: oats, quinoa, millet, and barley. If you already produce enough milk, a lower-carb diet would be OK for you. If you notice your supply dropping, you could bring in small amounts of these grains and see how you feel!
i did the no-carb Atkins in between ds4 and dd5.
I lost weight BUT I got so damn weak.
IMHO.. don't do it.
Started my family in 1986
Finally done in 2001
No carbs? Or no grains? No carbs is ridiculously unhealthy. Read about what that much protein will do for your kidneys. If it's not a diet you can follow the rest of your life I wouldn't bother with it, because you'll lose a lot of water wt quickly, since carbs retain water, but when you eat normally again you'll gain it back. And I don't think it's reasonable to expect your body to have energy to exercise if you're not fueling it.

AUGUSTA (AP) — Maine's average price of home heating oil is up 2 cents from last week to $3.71 a gallon.
The results of a weekly survey released Tuesday shows northern Maine had the highest average price while the lowest average price was found in the western part of the state.
The average price of propane went up just a penny a gallon, to $2.72. Kerosene also went up a cent from last week to $4.14 a gallon.
The Governor's Energy Office advised residents to prepare for bitterly cold temperatures later this week and make sure they have adequate fuel supplies.
