Clean Sweep
Spring is the perfect time to de-clutter and freshen up your home.
Vikki Leftwich at Villa Vici shows us how to layer and marry pieces for a great look.

Call it a seasonal effect. In January, we make resolutions. In spring, we clean. But spring cleaning isn't just about brooms and dustpans. It's an opportunity to improve the aesthetics of our homes as well. And with a little guidance, we can streamline the process and do it with ease.
The experts agree. Spring cleaning should start with clearing your home of clutter. "Spring cleaning is the perfect time to finally let go of things in your house that really don't bring anything other than dust to your space," says Shaun Smith, owner of the eponymous Shaun Smith Home. "I always say if you feel like you might have a place for it later, it really means you will never have a place for it. Purge." Villa Vici owner Vikki Leftwich offers similar advice. "To me, spring cleaning means minimalizing; start taking things away," says Leftwich, whose rule of thumb for saying goodbye to something is when it's been in a drawer or closet unused for a year. A firm believer in serene, less-is-more interior design, she counsels clients to pare down the things they display in their homes. Rather than having personal photographs all over the home, for example, Leftwich prefers a small collection of favorite photographs in a personal area such as a bedroom or bathroom. (For a large gallery of photos, she suggests framing them alike and grouping them in a private area such as a hall leading to a bedroom.) There are many ways of passing on the gently used, collectible and/or valuable things you eliminate from your home: Donate them, gift them, have a garage sale or take them to a consignment shop. And once you've removed the unwanted things that literally cloud your vision, cleaning – the next step – will be easier.
Clean and Organize
Smith's formula for cleaning and organizing begins in the kitchen and moves from there to the closets. But wherever you start, spring cleaning will be more manageable if it's done a room at a time. Villa Vici's Leftwich likes to remove all of the smaller pieces from a space (items on bookshelves and tables, throws and pillows) and leave the larger anchor pieces such as sofas and tables in order to assess how the space is working. "Start analyzing your furniture," says Leftwich. "Before you slipcover a sofa, ask yourself how old it is and if you like the style of it. Slipcovering could be half the cost of a new sofa when what you really want is a new sofa." Once the basics are considered, you can selectively bring decorative pieces back in and determine what's no longer in sync or what might be added. "One mistake people make is they shop first," says Erin Jacobs, owner of Abode in Metairie, who also goes through the exercise of removing and replacing. "I prefer to take everything out and just leave the big pieces and kind of go shopping in your house. Once I put things [the client already owns] back, then I go shopping for new things."
Containing your belongings also will go a long way toward giving your home a renewed sense of organization and beauty. Two ideas for the organizationally-challenged: Shauna Leftwich of Ashley Hall Interiors favors keeping shoes in plastic bins labeled with photographs; while Jacobs likes the diversity of basket options currently available. "Baskets are great for children; they make things accessible and easy to clean up," says Jacobs. "And there are some pretty ones out there that can become part of the décor."
Create Storage
Other, more permanent storage options may cost more, but designers say the they are worth the investment. Depending on the client's space and budget, Leftwich says custom built-in cabinetry that's simple and modern can be a transformative solution. "All your stuff is behind closed doors," she says. "There is less cluttering your mind and visual senses." Rivers Spencer of Rivers Spencer Interiors also uses furnishings, such as buffets and storage ottomans, as a means of keeping clutter at bay. A hot trend in the furniture market, many of today's sleek, dual-function ottomans work in a variety of rooms including living spaces and bedrooms. Custom, one-of-a-kind furnishings are another great way to hide away the necessities of life. "The beauty of what I do is that if people have a special size requirement or function requirement, I can make it," says Blueswood owner Casey Lipe, who designs and builds pieces using cypress from the Mississippi Delta. "The only limitation is our own imaginations." Lipe's stock and custom items include cabinets, armoires, and platform beds with drawers for stowing things like sheets and duvets.

Small Changes/ Big Difference
Choosing neutral underpinnings such as wall colors and sofas, according to our experts, will extend the life of your décor and make it easier to refresh your environment without breaking the bank. "I always recommend neutrals for big investment items like custom drapes," says Spencer. "Neutrals transcend seasons. It's about getting it right the first time." Among the small ways that our experts say you can create a change: Replace light fixtures or the shades on lamps, add color with pillows, throws or accent pieces, change pillows or throws for a more seasonal look, buy new books for your coffee table, repurpose a piece of furniture (whose lines and scale you like) with paint or new hardware, bring in fresh blooms and add a piece of art. They offer the following creative ideas as well:
Vikki Leftwich: "Mix a traditional T ara Shaw antiqu e chandelier with a great contemporary bubble glass chandelier. If people are willing to step outside the box a little, it makes a statement."
Erin Jacobs: "I love Dash and Albert's indoor/outdoor rugs. They are made of polypropylene that cleans nicely and are very economical. It's a nice way to bring in some color on a budget."
Shaun Smith: "A very dramatic change in a house is yanking that ceiling fan down from your living room/bedroom and putting up a beautiful lantern. You can always tuck a fan away in a closet when you need it."
Rivers Spencer: "I like to pick something a client likes and build on it. For instance, minerals and geodes are trending right now. If you like that sort of thing, add it to a mantle or as an accessory on top of books or start a little collection."
Shauna Leftwich: "Drapery styles today are more minimal. If you have drapery that's traditional with swags or jabots, eliminate the heavy top treatment and just use the side panels to soften the window with a beautiful rod."
Casey Lipe: "I like the idea of replacing something new with something old. Natural, rustic woods give an air of nature that refreshes year-round."

Keep it Cohesive
All of our experts advocate a mix of styles and periods for a look that's relevant to what's going on in the world of interior design. But all say that a discerning eye, attention to detail and a consistent hand are also a must. "A mid-century modern piece works well with other simple or transitional pieces, but I wouldn't put it next to a French armoire," cautions Villa Vici's Leftwich. "It has to do with layering and marrying pieces," says Jacobs, who likes to juxtapose contemporary pieces with antiques. There should be a cohesive blend." Jacobs says creating a cohesive design scheme throughout your house even extends to the outdoors. "In spring we start thinking about bringing the outdoors in and vice versa," she says. "It's a good time to consider things like outdoor furniture and cushions."

Consult A Professional
If you're not sure what to do away with, how to organize and arrange things, or how to tweak your décor with the subtle or the unexpected, hiring the services of a professional can help. "Get professional advice so you don't have to continuously change things," counsels Villa Vici's Leftwich. "Planning is key." Even designers themselves sometimes turn to other designers for ideas. After decades in the business, Ashley Hall's Leftwich once made an appointment with the store's late founder, Joe Morrow, to review the selections she'd made for her own home. "A designer can give you a fresh pair of eyes," she says.

Home > Improve Your Health > Health Library > Coenzyme Q10 (PDQ®): Integrative, alternative, and complementary therapies - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
CoQ10 is a compound that is made naturally in the body. The Q and the 10 in coenzyme Q10 refer to the groups of chemicals that make up the coenzyme. CoQ10 is also known by these other names:
A coenzyme helps an enzyme do its job. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rate at which natural chemical reactions take place in cells of the body. The body's cells use CoQ10 to make energy needed for the cells to grow and stay healthy. The body also uses CoQ10 as an antioxidant. An antioxidant is a substance that protects cells from chemicals called free radicals. Free radicals can damage DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Genes, which are pieces of DNA, tell the cells how to work in the body and when to grow and divide. Damage to DNA has been linked to some kinds of cancer. By protecting cells against free radicals, antioxidants help protect the body against cancer.
CoQ10 is found in most body tissues. The highest amounts are found in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. The lowest amounts are found in the lungs. The amount of CoQ10 in tissues decreases as people get older.
CoQ10 was first identified in 1957. Its chemical structure was determined in 1958. Interest in CoQ10 as a possible treatment for cancer began in 1961, when it was found that some cancer patients had a lower than normal amount of it in their blood. Low blood levels of CoQ10 have been found in patients with myeloma, lymphoma, and cancers of the breast, lung, prostate, pancreas, colon, kidney, and head and neck.
Research about how CoQ10 plays a key role in the way cells make energy was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1978.
Studies suggest that CoQ10 may help the immune system work better. Partly because of this, CoQ10 is used as adjuvant therapy for cancer. Adjuvant therapy is treatment given following the primary treatment to lower the risk that the cancer will come back.
CoQ10 may be useful in treating cancer because it boosts the immune system. Also, studies suggest that CoQ10 analogs (drugs that are similar to CoQ10) may prevent the growth of cancer cells directly. As an antioxidant, CoQ10 may help prevent cancer from developing.
Refer to the PDQ health professional summary on Coenzyme Q10 for more information on the theory behind the study of CoQ10 in the treatment of cancer.
CoQ10 is usually taken by mouth as a pill (tablet or capsule). It may also be given by injection into a vein (IV). In animal studies, CoQ10 is given by injection.
A number of preclinical studies have been done with CoQ10. Research in a laboratory or using animals is done to find out if a drug, procedure, or treatment is likely to be useful in humans. These preclinical studies are done before any testing in humans is begun. Most laboratory studies of CoQ10 have looked at its chemical structure and how it works in the body. The following has been reported from preclinical studies of CoQ10 and cancer:
There have been no well-designed clinical trials involving large numbers of patients to study the use of CoQ10 in cancer treatment. There have been some clinical trials with small numbers of people, but the way the studies were done and the amount of information reported made it unclear if benefits were caused by the CoQ10 or by something else. Most of the trials were not randomized or controlled. Randomized controlled trials give the highest level of evidence:
Some research studies are published in scientific journals. Most scientific journals have experts who review research reports before they are published, to make sure that the evidence and conclusions are sound. This is called peer review. Studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals are considered better evidence. No randomized clinical trials of CoQ10 as a treatment for cancer have been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
The following has been reported from studies of CoQ10 in humans:
Randomized trials of CoQ10 and doxorubicin
Studies of CoQ10 as an adjuvant therapy for breast cancer
Small studies have been done on the use of CoQ10 after standard treatment in patients with breast cancer:
It is not clear, however, if the benefits reported in these studies were caused by CoQ10 therapy or something else. The studies had the following weaknesses:
Anecdotal reports of CoQ10
Anecdotal reports are incomplete descriptions of the medical and treatment history of one or more patients. There have been anecdotal reports that CoQ10 has helped some cancer patients live longer, including patients with cancers of the pancreas, lung, colon, rectum, and prostate. The patients described in these reports, however, also received treatments other than CoQ10, including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery.
In a follow-up study, two patients who had breast cancer remaining after surgery were treated with CoQ10 for 3 to 4 months. It was reported that after treatment with CoQ10, the cancer was completely gone in both patients.
No serious side effects have been reported from the use of CoQ10. The most common side effects include the following:
It is important to check with health care providers to find out if CoQ10 can be safely used along with other drugs. Certain drugs, such as those that are used to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar levels, may decrease the effects of CoQ10. CoQ10 may change way the body uses warfarin (a drug that prevents the blood from clotting) and insulin.
As noted in Question 1, the body uses CoQ10 as an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect cells from free radicals. Some conventional cancer therapies, such as anticancer drugs and radiation treatment, kill cancer cells in part by causing free radicals to form. Researchers are studying whether using CoQ10 along with conventional therapies has any effect, good or bad, on the way these conventional therapies work in the body.
CoQ10 is sold as a dietary supplement and is not approved by the FDA for use as a cancer treatment. Dietary supplements are products meant to be added to the diet. They are not drugs and are not meant to treat, prevent, or cure diseases. The manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that the product is safe and that the label claims are truthful and not misleading. The FDA does not approve dietary supplements as safe or effective before they are sold. Also, the way companies make CoQ10 is not regulated. Different batches and brands of CoQ10 supplements may be different from each other.

About PDQ
Physician Data Query (PDQ) is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries come in two versions. The health professional versions have detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions have cancer information that is accurate and up to date and most versions are also available in Spanish.
PDQ is a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIH is the federal government's center of biomedical research. The PDQ summaries are based on an independent review of the medical literature. They are not policy statements of the NCI or the NIH.
Purpose of This Summary
This PDQ cancer information summary has current information about the use of coenzyme Q10 in the treatment of people with cancer. It is meant to inform and help patients, families, and caregivers. It does not give formal guidelines or recommendations for making decisions about health care.
Reviewers and Updates
Editorial Boards write the PDQ cancer information summaries and keep them up to date. These Boards are made up of experts in cancer treatment and other specialties related to cancer. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made when there is new information. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") is the date of the most recent change.
The information in this patient summary was taken from the health professional version, which is reviewed regularly and updated as needed, by the PDQ Integrative, Alternative, and Complementary Therapies Editorial Board.
Clinical Trial Information
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one treatment is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. During treatment clinical trials, information is collected about the effects of a new treatment and how well it works. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial. Some clinical trials are open only to patients who have not started treatment.
Clinical trials are listed in PDQ and can be found online at NCI's website. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)-also called integrative medicine-includes a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapies. A therapy is generally called complementary when it is used in addition to conventional treatments; it is often called alternative when it is used instead of conventional treatment. (Conventional treatments are those that are widely accepted and practiced by the mainstream medical community.) Depending on how they are used, some therapies can be considered either complementary or alternative. Complementary and alternative therapies are used in an effort to prevent illness, reduce stress, prevent or reduce side effects and symptoms, or control or cure disease.
Unlike conventional treatments for cancer, complementary and alternative therapies are often not covered by insurance companies. Patients should check with their insurance provider to find out about coverage for complementary and alternative therapies.
Cancer patients considering complementary and alternative therapies should discuss this decision with their doctor, nurse, or pharmacist as they would any type of treatment. Some complementary and alternative therapies may affect their standard treatment or may be harmful when used with conventional treatment.
It is important that the same scientific methods used to test conventional therapies are used to test CAM therapies. The National Cancer Institute and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) are sponsoring a number of clinical trials (research studies) at medical centers to test CAM therapies for use in cancer.
Conventional approaches to cancer treatment have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through a scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients. Less is known about the safety and effectiveness of complementary and alternative methods. Few CAM therapies have been tested using demanding scientific methods. A small number of CAM therapies that were thought to be purely alternative approaches are now being used in cancer treatment-not as cures, but as complementary therapies that may help patients feel better and recover faster. One example is acupuncture. According to a panel of experts at a National Institutes of Health (NIH) meeting in November 1997, acupuncture has been found to help control nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and pain related to surgery. However, some approaches, such as the use of laetrile, have been studied and found not to work and to possibly cause harm.
The NCI Best Case Series Program which was started in 1991, is one way CAM approaches that are being used in practice are being studied. The program is overseen by the NCI's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM). Health care professionals who offer alternative cancer therapies submit their patients' medical records and related materials to OCCAM. OCCAM carefully reviews these materials to see if any seem worth further research.
When considering complementary and alternative therapies, patients should ask their health care provider the following questions:
National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) facilitates research and evaluation of complementary and alternative practices, and provides information about a variety of approaches to health professionals and the public.

The expanded bleachers aren't the only thing new at Wrigley Field this year. The Cubs will start the season with eight new players on the roster, ranging from vital cogs such as Juan Pierre to little-known reserves such as Angel Pagan.
Whether they will be the same old Cubs at the end of the year remains to be seen, but general manager Jim Hendry is betting his new acquisitions and call-ups will improve the defense, the bullpen and the baserunning--three glaring sore spots in 2005. Here's a look at the new Cubs, how they fared in Arizona this spring and what the club expects from them in 2006:
Juan Pierre
The key to the Cubs' revamped lineup as the new leadoff hitter, Pierre struggled in Cactus League play, hitting .212 with only three walks in 22 games. Teams were prepared for Pierre's bunts and he seldom reached on any of his attempts to bunt for a hit. The Cubs need Pierre to revert to his 2004 form, when he batted .326 for Florida and led the National League with 221 hits. Fifty or more steals also would be a bonus, along with 20 or more doubles and 10 or more triples.
Perhaps the team's most controversial off-season signing, simply because he was given a three-year deal, Jones had a strong spring average-wise but lacked power. He hit .333 in 21 games in Arizona but didn't hit a home run until Thursday and finished with only four RBIs. The Cubs will be more than satisfied if Jones can hit above .300, as he did in 2002 and '03 in Minnesota, with 20 or more homers and 75-plus RBIs. The last two seasons he has hit .254 and .249, respectively, averaging 23 home runs and 76 RBIs.
The Cubs targeted Howry at the end of '05 and reeled him in early with a three-year deal. He started out well in spring training, hit the wall in the middle and ended up strong, finishing with a 2.77 earned-run average with eight strikeouts and only two walks in 12 innings. The Cubs can live with an ERA below 3.00 and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of at least 3-to-1. Unlike ex-Cubs reliever LaTroy Hawkins, Howry has the ability to shake off a bad outing.
He was nearly untouchable in the Cactus League, throwing 11 scoreless innings, allowing only five hits and striking out 11 with only one walk. The Cubs haven't had a dependable left-handed setup man in years, and the Mike Remlinger era still stings. If Eyre can keep his arm from falling off after a league-leading 86 appearances last year, he could be their most important acquisition.
The 23-year-old left-hander was spotless in Arizona, throwing 101/3 scoreless innings to grab the No. 4 starter's spot in the final week of exhibitions. He made his second start Friday in Las Vegas, allowing six runs on seven hits in 42/3 inningsincluding three home runs and three doubles. The Cubs may have put undue pressure on Marshall by throwing him into the fire with only 10 starts at the Double-A level, but at least they are willing to gamble on an unknown with great potential rather than stick with inconsistent right-hander Jerome Williams. If Marshall can help get them through the first two months while Kerry Wood, Mark Prior and Wade Miller mend, the Cubs will be ecstatic.
Slowed early on by back pains, Mabry rebounded to hit .361 in 36 at-bats heading into the weekend. The Cubs lacked a decent left-handed bat off the bench last year, and Mabry is capable of playing either corner outfield position as well as first or third base.
Freddie Bynum
The Cubs acquired the A's utilityman Friday and can play him at any outfield position, as well as short, second and third. Bynum will be an asset off the bench because he can pinch-run and is a left-handed hitter, two qualities lacking on last year's bench.
Angel Pagan
The switch-hitting outfielder started hitting the first week of camp and never stopped. He wound up with a .410 average in Arizona, tied Aramis Ramirez for the team lead with five home runs and tied Jerry Hairston for the most stolen bases with four. How this will translate into the season is the big question, since Pagan's eight home runs at Triple-A Norfolk last year marked a career high and his career average in six minor-league seasons is .282. The Cubs can't expect Pagan to be an overnight sensation, but the New York Mets' castoff should be a vast improvement over last year's reserve outfieldersJason Dubois, Jose Macias and Ben Grieve.

If you can imagine buying a brand new John Deere push lawn mower at half the manufacturer retail suggested price, then you understand the Wholesale House Liquidation Outlet shopping experience.
�I�ve always loved to find bargains, and now I�m doing it on a grand scale,� said Billy Traylor, who opened the outlet in July with his wife, Teri.
This is true outlet shopping, so you may not find what you want. Then again, you may find what you need at a better price than you thought possible.
To make the pricing easy, the couple decided to simply take that suggested retail price and cut it in half. They pass along savings to their customers.
The Niceville residents aren�t new to the area or to retail, both having 30-plus years in the business. They know how to shop, and they find liquidations from store chains such as Target, J.C. Penny, Macy�s, Lowe�s, and even some local stores.
�Sometimes you have to check back every week to see what we get,� Traylor said. He suggests that his regulars check the store�s Facebook page, where he will post good deliveries.

OK, ladies, let�s be honest: There isn�t one of us who wouldn�t love having a one-of-a-kind look that we know no one else will have.

Canada Aims to Sell Its Oil Beyond U.S.
Producers Want to Diversify but Are Stymied by Poor Access to Ocean Ports
Last fall, Canadian oil producer Husky Energy Inc. sent a batch of crude on a journey to India. It was just a drop in a sea of global oil transactions, but a step toward reshaping North American energy trading.
The million-barrel shipment to Indian Oil Corp., described by Husky as a test sale, foreshadowed what Canadian producers hope will become many new overseas markets for their oil.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the HTC Inspire 4G from AT&T! If you've been following our coverage on the new 4G handset for AT&T you probably know almost everything about the handset already. The only new bit of information we have on launch day is the off-contract price for the HTC Inspire 4G. Since AT&T is only charging $99.99 for the HTC Inspire 4G for anyone signing up for a new two year contract, we were hoping that the off-contract price would be somewhere around $450. To our surprise, AT&T is only charging $399.99 for the HTC Inspire, which makes is one of the best deals around.
We're still working on putting together a full review for the HTC Inspire 4G, but we're sure most of you have already made up you mind about the phone. The HTC Inspire 4G is the first 4G handset available on AT&T's network and since AT&T is only asking for $99 we find it really hard not to recommend the new phone to anyone who's tied to AT&T.

HICKORY, N.C. – The Coker women's soccer team lost 3-0 to Lenoir-Rhyne Wednesday (Sept. 25) night in a South Atlantic Conference game.
The Bears jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 22nd minute of the first half, after forward Leah Mullins snuck the ball through the reaching fingertips of Coker goalkeeper Lizz Morris.
Lenoir-Rhyne continued the offensive pressure when they scored two more goals late in the second half to take a 3-0 advantage.
Coker was able to land six shots between the pipes, but could not manage a score. Cassie Callahan and Bailey Van Order led the Cobra offense with two shots on goal each.
The Cobras will be on the road again for their fourth consecutive away contest, as they travel to Charlotte, N.C. to take on Queens in another conference match up. The game is slated for a 5:00 PM start time.

Emmy Award-winning actress Marcia Wallace, who voiced the "Simpsons" role of Edna Krabappel and played wisecracking receptionist Carol Kester on the classic sitcom "The Bob Newhart Show," has died at the age of 70.
Wallace died at home in Los Angeles Friday night, surrounded by friends and family, said her son, Michael Hawley.
She had been in failing health for the last several months and died of complications due to pneumonia, Hawley said. Wallace, who had spoken widely about her battles with breast cancer, had surgery for it in March, after which she was considered clear of the disease, her son said.
The executive producer of "The Simpsons," Al Jean, said Saturday that the part of Mrs. Krabappel, the chain-smoking Springfield Elementary School teacher who was often driven to frustration by Bart Simpson, will be retired.
"I don't intend to have anyone else play Mrs. Krabappel," Jean said. "I think Bart will get a new teacher."
Wallace won a 1992 Emmy for her work on the long-running show. Jean said the next new episode, set to air Nov. 3, will include a tribute to the actress.
"She was sweet, funny, not at all pretentious," he said. "You fall in love with these people when you see them as characters on television, but when you met Marcia you loved her even more."
Word of her passing spread quickly on social media. "So sad to learn of the passing of the wonderful Marcia Wallace. Sorely missed already," tweeted Harry Shearer, who voices several characters on "The Simpsons."
Wallace, who had an acerbic wit and was known for her trademark red hair, had several television and stage roles and was a regular on talk shows before being cast as Carol Kester on the Bob Newhart sitcom that ran on CBS from 1972 to 1978.
"We were part of the culture of the '70s," said Wallace in a 1991 interview with The Times about her experience on the series. "I thought we had something really magical."
Hawley, 25, said his mother remained feisty and witty until near the end, even about her health setbacks. "The greatest gift she gave me was that you have to love the world, and see it through lenses of humor," he said.
Marcia Wallace was born Nov. 1, 1942, in Creston, Iowa. For someone so funny and optimistic, her childhood was far less than idyllic. In her 2004 autobiography, "Don't Look Back, We're Not Going That Way!" she wrote about growing up overweight and brainy, with alcoholic parents.
She began acting in high school and attended Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa, where she majored in English and theater. The day she graduated, she moved to New York City.
"I weighed 230 pounds and I had $150 in the bank," Wallace wrote in her autobiography. "When people ask me, 'How do you break into show business?' I say, 'Well, first of all, your ready cash should at least equal your weight.'"
Wallace shed 100 pounds and by 1968 was appearing off-Broadway as member of the improvisation group The Fourth Wall.
A frequent guest on "The Merv Griffin Show" in New York, Wallace moved to Los Angeles when Griffin brought the program here. It was one of her appearances on the talk show that led to her being cast as the acerbic receptionist for button-down psychologist Bob Hartley on "The Bob Newhart Show."
Wallace also became a regular on popular game shows such as "Hollywood Squares" and "The $25,000 Pyramid." And after "Bob Newhart" ended, she guest-starred on many sitcoms, including "Full House," "Taxi" and "Murphy Brown." She also did theater, appearing in Los Angeles in "An Almost Perfect Person" and "The Vagina Monologues" and on tour in shows such as "Gypsy" and "Plaza Suite."
Her last role was in the not-yet-released film "Muffin Top: A Love Story," in which she appears with her son, also an actor and voice-over performer.
Wallace married Dennis Hawley in 1986. He died in 1992 of cancer.
"I have a deep conviction that our lives are eternal," she wrote. "I really do believe that Dennis and I will be together again, that we'll always be together in some mystical way."
In addition to her son, Wallace is survived by her sister, Sherry Wallace of Los Angeles, and a brother, Jimmy Wallace, who lives in Iowa.

Every now and then, I find a wine that's a lot of fun and will actually appeal to all of my wine friends – the snobs, the not-so-snobby, and the ones who drink because they like to drink.
Kevin Keith, of Dep's Fine Wines, tweeted about a special last Friday on the Bombshell Red by Airfield Estates. I was instantly intrigued by the name and when I got to the store, well, the label actually sold me. (Yeah, I fell for the label.)
There was some serious wine to back up the label though. Before I rushed off with a bottle, I tried the Airfield Cabernet that was on the tasting table. It was quite good, so I was encouraged. But we tried the Bombshell Red the other night and I can promise, this is the wine I'm giving anyone who asks me to bring them a bottle.
Airfield Estates Bombshell Red 2008, Yakima Valley, Washington
$15.99 (Dep's Fine Wine)
I admit to being a little partial. Like the wine, I'm a curvy redhead, and this is certainly a voluptuous wine. A blend of 41% Syrah, 35% Merlot, 11% Cabernet, 5% Sangiovese, 4% Malbec, and 3% Cabernet Franc, those curves come from just about everywhere. This is a fun wine, with a lot of fruit and spice on the nose that echos on the palate. There is a bunch of upfront jammy goodness, including some blackberries and some cinnamon toast to smooth it all out. Just to balance out the wine, there is a bit of tannin on the finish. We think this table wine would pair nicely with pizza or even a dry rub BBQ.
I'm heading out to Seattle in March for a non-wine-related conference. If I have time, I plan on renting a car and heading out to Prosser to visit Airfield Estates. If that doesn't work out, you can bet I'll be dropping by their winery on my way to the 2010 Wine Bloggers Conference in Walla Walla this summer.

David Iwasa, the new dean of University Towers, comes to Andrews University from Gem State Adventist Academy in Caldwell, Idaho. University Towers is comprised of Burman Hall, a men's residence, and Damazo Hall, a women's residence, which are connected by a shared lobby area.
Prior to his arrival at Andrews, Iwasa worked as a residence hall dean at Gem State Adventist Academy since 2004. While there, he trained and managed staff in both the men's and women's residence halls, developed a worship program and taught a math class. Iwasa began his career as the treasurer at Thunderbird Adventist Academy in Scottsdale, Ariz., in 1990, and became dean of men two years later. He assumed the position of vice principal of Thunderbird Academy in 1994. He has also served as business manager and administrator at several assisted living facilities in Oregon and Washington. From 1995 to 1997, he worked as an accountant at Marketing One Securities in Portland, Ore. Of the many capacities he filled, he particularly enjoyed being a girls' dean. "Difficult but extremely rewarding and character building," he says.

After 222-yard, 2-TD rushing performance on Saturday.
Zenel Hudson (Bayshore, N.Y./Milford Academy)'s big day for Missouri S&T Saturday in its win over Wisconsin-LaCrosse has earned him this week's Great Lakes Valley Conference's "Offensive Player of the Week" award.
Hudson carried the ball 35 times for a career-high 222 yards and two touchdowns in S&T's 27-14 win over the Eagles, as he posted the second-highest rushing total in a game in both school and conference history. He had 158 of those yards in the second half and scored both touchdowns during the final 30 minutes, as the Miners overcame a 14-3 deficit by outscoring UW-LaCrosse 24-0 after the intermission.
His first touchdown run of two yards midway through the third quarter put the Miners on top in the contest, then he iced the win with an 84-yard scoring run on a third-and-one play with 2:01 remaining in the contest. The 84-yard touchdown run – the longest ever by a Miner at Allgood-Bailey Stadium - was the second-longest rushing play and fifth-longest from scrimmage in GLVC history, as well as the fifth-longest rushing play in Miner history.
The Miners finished Saturday's game with a season-high 287 yards on the ground, while the 222 yards gained by the sophomore running back is the eighth-most to date by any runner in NCAA Division II this season.
Hudson also had a 30-yard pass reception in the game to give him 252 all-purpose yards on the day, the seventh-most in a single game in league history and eighth-most by a Miner in the 120-year history of the program. He is the first Miner to receive the conference's weekly award in the 2013 season.
The Miners, 1-2 on the season, return to action Saturday when they take on Lindenwood in a 6 p.m. contest in St. Charles, Mo.

Dare blogged about an interesting whitepaper from the Microsoft Experimentation Team about the concept of A/B testing and applications for websites.
"Practical Guide to Controlled Experiments on the Web: Listen to your Customers not to the HiPPO"
Note that HiPPO = Highest Paid Person's Opinion.
A/B testing (briefly, the concept of varying one or more settings/behaviors on a site for controlled subsets of users and analyzing resulting behaviors) was used extensively at my last two companies before joining Microsoft, so this was a good read. Section 5, Lessons Learned, is alone very worthwhile.
Recommended reading even if you aren't running a web application since the concepts could be applied to a variety of systems (but the inherent flexibility of websites makes them primary candidates for such testing.) Using A/B testing, you may be surprised to see how seemingly minor changes to a site can lead to major improvements in rates of use, clickthroughs, purchases, etc.

Several observations concerning 6:1, the thesis statement for this section, are appropriate before we approach the following paragraphs of the passage in more detail.
First, we must impress God alone. In all three examples Jesus warns his followers not to be like the hypocrites (6:2, 5, 16; also 15:7; 22:18; 23:13-29; 24:51). This term originally designated actors in the theater, though both Greek and Jewish texts had long before come to apply it figuratively.
One of human religion's greatest temptations is to act piously to elicit the praise of others. A secret atheist could practice religion in that form without the slightest element of faith (compare 23:5). Such temptations were part and parcel of ancient religion; for instance, when some first-century Jewish leaders called a fast for unrighteous reasons, others feared not to observe it, lest anyone question their piety (Jos. Life 290-91). Yet the same temptation is no less real today. Jesus reminds us that true piety means impressing God alone-living our lives in the recognition that God knows every thought and deed, and it is his approval alone that matters. Matthew again praises the meek, whose only hope is in God, not in others' opinions of them. Those of us who are "religious professionals," making our living from public ministry, should take special heed: if we value the approval or pay of our congregations more than what God has called us to do, we will have no reward left when we stand before him.
Second, Jesus' warning does not preclude public acts of righteousness. Public righteousness, even when carried out in the knowledge that such acts will draw attention, is not wrong so long as we seek to be seen for God's glory rather than our own (5:16). This text warns us, however, how easy it is to justify our own desire to impress others as "being a light." We should do everything for God (Rom 14:6-8; 1 Cor 10:31; Col 3:17); the repentant person who lives in view of the coming kingdom (4:17) is concerned more with God's evaluation than with that of others. Many people practice religion without paying attention to God, and this warns us to search our motives.
Third, Jesus demands practice, not just theory. Jesus' Jewish contemporaries agreed with most of what he was teaching here (ARN 28A; 40A; 46, 129B). Thus Jesus is not satisfied that we claim to agree with his ethics; he wants us to live accordingly.
Fourth, Jesus' three examples are random, so secrecy must apply to all acts of righteousness. Judaism often listed righteous works, sometimes in sets of threes (Jesus' list here resembles Tobit 12:8), but such lists were never more than random examples. We must thus apply Jesus' principle to all our acts of righteousness.
Fifth, Jesus promises eternal reward for those who seek to please God rather than mortals. Jesus concludes his warnings with another graphic image: businessmen regularly wrote the phrase received their reward in full (see 6:2, 5, 16) on receipts to indicate that no further payment was required (Deissmann 1978:110). Jesus is saying that those who give charity to be admired by others, or pray and fast to people rather than to God, already have what they wanted: others' approval. They will not be rewarded again for their deeds on the day of judgment.
Finally, Jesus defines true religion differently from the way many Christians do. If it is possible to pray, fast and give alms extensively and yet do it from wrong motives, we must reevaluate our religious values. Most people I know who pray four hours a day have a very close walk with God. But I know others whose calling may allow them only an hour a day of concerted prayer, yet their walk is probably just as close to God, since they are living according to his will. We should pray, fast and serve the needy because we love God-not in order to convince anyone, including ourselves, that we do.

Wards in Dorset
My Wards seem to have originated in Dorset. I am specifically looking for David Ward and Charles Ward who both say they were born in Chetnole, Dorset about 1773. I believe they were possibly brothers. Does anyone have connections to either of these?
I also have connections to James Ward born 1804 in Cornwall,and sons who were Coast Guards in and around Cornwall, Devon, Kent and Dorset

1⁄8 tsp. fresh ground pepper
1⁄8 tsp. baking powder
1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
2 eggs, beaten
1⁄2 cup grated Gruyère cheese
Additional milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and sea salt for topping
1. In a medium saucepan, bring the butter, milk, water, salt, and pepper to a gentle boil. Remove from the heat and add the sifted flour and baking powder. Stir well and return to heat. Cook, stirring, until the mixture is dry, 1-2 min.
2. Transfer mixture to a mixing bowl with a paddle. Paddle until mixture cools to warm temperature, about 8-10 min. With the motor running, slowly add the eggs and then the Gruyère cheese. Mix until smooth and shiny.
3. Spoon the batter into a pastry bag with a #3 tip; pipe into mounds 1 in. apart onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush the tops with milk; sprinkle with Parmesan and sea salt.
4. Bake at 375°F for 7-10 min., until a deep, golden-brown color. Serve warm. Or hold at room temperature up to 2 hr. and reheat briefly.

It's been awhile since we've been this excited to share a new company with you (well new to the US anyway). Before now, Little Nest has sold exclusively in Australia and we're glad they're finally sharing their design sense and products with the Northern Hemisphere. They carry pieces that are meant to last for generations and are new pint sized versions of their older, classical counterparts.
Little Nest has produced quality, modern pieces that have an obvious classical influence. They're mini-replicas of iconic designs and are created in a manner that they'll last for not only this generation but more to come.

Check out some of their pieces below and keep your eye on their store for all that is to come in the future. Right now they're only available online (though they have a US office in Torrance, California), but we're ok with that, their super fabulous photography leaves us quite confident in the products we'd be ordering.

Feeling sad every now and then is a fundamental part of the human experience, especially during difficult or trying times. In contrast, persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, hopelessness and disinterest in things that were once enjoyed are symptoms of depression, an illness that affects at least 20 million Americans. Depression is not something that a person can ignore or simply will away. Rather, it is a serious disorder that affects the way a person eats, sleeps, feels and thinks. The cause of depression is not known, but it can be effectively controlled with treatment.
The relationship between sleep and depressive illness is complex – depression may cause sleep problems and sleep problems may cause or contribute to depressive disorders. For some people, symptoms of depression occur before the onset of sleep problems. For others, sleep problems appear first. Sleep problems and depression may also share risk factors and biological features and the two conditions may respond to some of the same treatment strategies. Sleep problems are also associated with more severe depressive illness.
Insomnia is very common among depressed patients. Evidence suggests that people with insomnia have a ten-fold risk of developing depression compared with those who sleep well. Depressed individuals may suffer from a range of insomnia symptoms, including difficulty falling asleep (sleep onset insomnia), difficulty staying asleep (sleep maintenance insomnia), unrefreshing sleep, and daytime sleepiness. However, research suggests that the risk of developing depression is highest among people with both sleep onset and sleep maintenance insomnia.
Video production in partnership with
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is also linked with depression. In a study of 18,980 people in Europe conducted by Stanford researcher Maurice Ohayon, MD, PhD, people with depression were found to be five times more likely to suffer from sleep-disordered breathing (OSA is the most common form of sleep disordered breathing). The good news is that treating OSA with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) may improve depression; a 2007 study of OSA patients who used CPAP for one year showed that improvements in symptoms of depression were significant and lasting.
In many cases, because symptoms of depression

Reconsidering the Ranch House
The surburban ranch house (or rambler) gets a pretty bad rap. For starters, there are just so many of them, a large number of which are bland and inoffensive at best. The ranch house has been called the "poor stepchild of American architecture," by Alan Hess of Architectural Digest. "Unpretentious, low-slung, cranked out like Big Macs by tract-house builders in the 1950s, it was America's most widely built single family home its very success casting a spell that doomed it to invisibility."
Among the thousands of ranch houses across the country, however, there are some real gems, especially the earliest versions and some of the exciting Modernist iterations that followed.
While ranch homes can, in some ways, be the epitome of uninspired cookie cutter conservatism, many historians point out that the original concept was anything but conformist. In fact, it was downright radical according to author and Slate architecture critic Witold Rybczynski. He says that the ranch house represented an historical anomoly, a revolutionary departure from America's long love affair with nostalgic "domestic status symbols" like formal entryways, dormers, gables, pitched roofs and porticos (features so popular in today's new construction). The ranch, with its single-storied, low slung profile, its open-plan interior, attached garage and large windows conveyed a unique diffidence, informality and lack of pretention.
For Cliff May, the Californian designer credited with designing the first ranch house in the 1930s, the ranch house was developed to serve three basic tenets:
Livability: open floor plans created an informal and seamless flow between rooms. attached garages that integrate the car into modern life. For May, the ranch house offered "friendliness... informality, and gaiety." With cross ventilation, sliding glass doors, large windows, private semi-enclosed patios and exterior corridors, the early ranch was all about "sunshine and informal outdoor living" that "connect you to the day, to the time of day and the weather of the day." The post-and-beam construction and open floor plan allowed for a lot of light. For the first time, kitchens were opened up to an ever-shrinking dining area. Family and recreational areas were paramount, as was storage space.
Flexibility: Multi-purpose rooms could be adapted as children aged and the family's needs changed. The ranch's simple, unadorned style could accommodate all manner of styles and decor. The layout also mean that homeowners could also easily tack on additions. And the homes tended to be forward-thinking when it came to the latest in home appliances and technology.
Unpretentious Character: Simple antechambers replaced the formal foyer; unimposing exteriors were typically devoid of traditional flourishes like gables and dormers. These were homes in which families could grow and host informal parties and BBQs.
The Ranch is Born
Though it has its roots in 19th century Spanish COlonial adobe houses, the ranch house really took off in Post-World War II California, when it began its eventual domination of the American suburban landscape. By 1950, nine out of 10 new houses were ranch houses. Americans were feeling optimistic after the war, mortgage rates were generous, and demand for new homes was soaring as soldiers returned home. Developers cashed in on this demand by embarking on what would be an suburban building boom of unprecedented size and scope. Massive subdivisions of "tract" ranch houses on inexpensive land served the growing middle-class market. Ranch houses, with their sprawling footprint and large lots, were only possible, of course, now that the car was king in America and the average Joe could live further out and on bigger chunks of land.
Upgrades and Downgrades
By the late 1960s, builders were taking short cuts and the ranch house would be reduced to decidedly bland and charmless rectangular boxes; cheap imitations that often lacked the charm and functionality of the original models. The sheer omnipresence of the ranch house also made it the perfect target for critics. But to dismiss the ranch house outright would be to miss some of the magnificent reinterpretations of the style that emerged throughout the mid-century. In California, architects and builders at Eichler Homes and the Alexander Construction Company built some gorgeous ranch homes with a sleek mid-centiury modernist twist. It's no wonder that Eichler and Alexander houses are now garnering the much-deserved attention of preservationsists and mid-century modern afficionados across the country.
Characteristics of the Ranch House

It has been said that Marion Woodman is "one of the wisest women in the world." She is a brilliant Jungian analyst, mystic, healer, writer and international speaker. It is true that her work is inspiring, healing and whole-making. To share a glimpse into the world of Marion Woodman, I searched the web and gathered links to every interview I could find. If you know of any others, please let me know and I will update the list. Otherwise, do enjoy these, they are wonderful…
Marion Woodman: "When I say the feminine, I don't mean gender. I mean the feminine principle that is living—or suppressed—in both men and women. The feminine principle attempts to relate. Instead of breaking things off into parts, it says, Where are we alike? How can we connect? Where is the love? Can you listen to me? Can you really hear what I am saying? Can you see me? Do you care whether you see me or not?"

text: GE uses high-touch Twitter campaign to boost Matrix-themed spot By Charlotte Woolard. Published on June 17, 2013. Actor Hugo Weaving donned the trademark suit and sunglasses of Agent Smith in a General Electric commercial released in April, reviving the iconic villain he played in "The Matrix" to promote the company's Industrial Internet software business. The spot is the latest installment in a "Brilliant Machines" campaign developed by BBDO New York and introduced by GE last year. The campaign features popular sci-fi characters promoting a world in which data breaks free of its silos, informing decisions and streamlining processes across an enterprise. The April spot, "Agent of Good: Connected Hospitals" performed well not only on the small screen but also on social media channels, said Jon Lombardo, leader-social media center of excellence at GE. "We make huge investments in TV spots," he said. "The question is: How do you socialize that?" For GE, the answer is to build a campaign that leverages the personal nature of social media to build emotional connections. "Acting human on social media is valuable," Lombardo said. "We make this part of everything that we do." Immediately after the Agent Smith spot aired during an episode of "Saturday Night Live," the social media team replicated his image in promoted messages on Twitter. Agent Smith held up a red and a blue lollipop in a Twitpic, echoing imagery and a line from the popular movie "Red or blue? Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes. #BrilliantMachines" The social media team also monitored Twitter mentions of the spot, sending messages in response to tweets. Where the television spot delivered a broad audience, social media promotions delivered deeper connections, Lombardo said. The social media team focused conversations not only on GE but also on "The Matrix," eventually asking correspondents for email and mailing addresses. The social media campaign that GE built around the Agent Smith persona became its most successful of the year, Lombardo said. It demonstrated a strategy central to a social media program that last year gave away about 5,000 personal gifts. "We take a high-touch approach to building advocacy," Lombardo said. GE applied a Matrix filter to profile pictures of 400 people who commented on the spots, digitally adding an effect that made the images look like things in the movie. About half of the recipients reposted those images, generating more than 16,000 views. The company also rewarded 150 Twitter users who gave their addresses with gift packages that included two movie tickets and red and blue lollipops. The gift added a new layer of social sharing to the campaign. "We give you an experience that you can share with someone else," Lombardo said. "A peer-to-peer impression is the holy grail. People trust people; they don't trust brands so much." Most Popular In this article: BtoB

Long Beach Wrongful Death Attorneys
The death of a family member is devastating emotionally and, in some cases, financially as well. When a death is caused by the negligence or carelessness of another person, by a company, by a governmental division or by a defective product, California law can give the family some relief through what is called a wrongful death claim. The Long Beach wrongful death attorneys at the law firm of Moss & Hovden believe that everyone should have at least a basic understanding of California wrongful death claims.
A California wrongful death claim is civil, meaning that it is designed to provide financial compensation to the family members of the victim. This is different from a criminal case, which is designed to impose jail or other penalties on the person responsible for the death. A civil wrongful death claim can be brought regardless of whether a criminal case has been brought and regardless of the outcome of any criminal case.
A California wrongful death claim may be made under the same legal theories used in personal injury cases. Claims will be recognized for deaths arising out of not only an intentional killing but also for traffic accidents, medical malpractice and incidents caused by real estate defects. Additionally, wrongful death claims may be brought if the death was caused by a defect of a manufactured product, medicine or food. California also recognizes claims based on suicide under certain conditions. And, in the case of traffic accidents, there may a claim even where the careless driver was uninsured.
This is not intended to be a complete list of the types of situations that can be the basis for a wrongful death claim. If you believe a family member has suffered death by way of a wrongful act, you should consult with the Long Beach wrongful death attorneys at the law firm of Moss & Hovden to determine whether your situation entitles you to bring a claim.
A California wrongful death claim may be brought by specific people designated by statute. Those individuals include the deceased person's spouse, domestic partner and children. Under certain circumstances, other persons may be entitled to bring a claim, including the deceased person's parents, siblings, stepchildren and others. Again, you should seek the advice of the Long Beach wrongful death attorneys at the law firm of Moss & Hovden to determine if you are entitled to bring such a claim.
Those who are authorized to bring a wrongful death claim can be compensated not only for funeral expenses and medical bills but also for lost income of the deceased person. They are also entitled to recover for loss of love, community, affection and other losses.
As with nearly every other type of claim, California wrongful death claims are subject to a time limit known as a statute of limitations. If a wrongful death suit is not formally brought by that deadline, the claim will probably be lost forever. The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in California is two years from the date of death. If you believe you might be entitled to bring a claim, you should consult with one of the Long Beach wrongful death attorneys at Moss & Hovden as soon as possible to make sure that your case won't be barred by the statute of limitations.
Contact Our Long Beach Wrongful Death Attorneys
Wrongful death claims are complicated. Trying to resolve a claim on your own without the help of competent legal counsel may not only result in you receiving less than fair compensation but may also harm your case. Insurance companies, corporations and government divisions have lawyers and investigators working for them to try to resolve the claim in their favor. You should have experts on your side as well. The Long Beach wrongful death attorneys at Moss & Hovden are highly qualified and very experienced with these types of cases. We believe it is in your best interest to consult with us before moving ahead with any wrongful death claim you may have.
