I know, it sucks that I just picked up 9.0 when 10.0 is about to come out. What can I say, I really needed it.
Here's my trouble. Currently we do not have a domain server. Each computer in our network is part of a workgroup and all are pretty much just peer to peer.
My goal was to take the entire O.S. (including all files) from one computer and transfer them onto another. I picked up a copy of Norton's Ghost 9.0 to help me in this task.
My problem is that I want to write the backup to a shared drive on our peer to peer network. I selected the option to create a back up on a network drive. My options were local; network and CD for backups. After sharing the folder on the shared drive to everyone, I browsed and found the shared drive and then a prompt pops up asking me for domain; user name; and password.
The thing is, there is no domain. I tried the following:
Using the workgroup in replacement for the domain name
Using the name of the Computer instead of the domain name
Adding myself to the Administrators group on the computer with the shared drive.
Mapping the drive and adding it as a local drive.
nothing worked.
I ended up just getting a conversion kit to make my old 200GB hard drive an external drive and just doing it locally. However, I was hoping to use Ghost to backup drives throughout the network. Can this be done without having a domain controller? We're looking into purchasing Server 2003 SBS, but things are moving pretty slow when it comes to getting them to purchase a server.
Thanks in advance for the help

Bessy Conway; or, The Irish Girl in America
Page 77
For a short time all went on well in Mrs. Hibbard's household, and Sally was ever so attentive to her duties. She had received a civil hint from her mistress that brothers with black moustaches were not at all desirable about the kitchen. "You have sufficient opportunity to see your friends, both male and female, having Thursday evening to yourself, and also every second Sunday afternoon -- let that suffice, for I really cannot allow you to see your company in my kitchen."
Sulky and silent Sally flounced out of the room, but when she got to the lower regions she made ample amends for the temporary restraint she had imposed upon herself.
"Well there!" said she in a towering passion, flinging down her dustpan and brush on the table where Bridget was preparing something for the oven, "well there! if that a'nt the meanest thing!"
"What place is that for your dustpan and brush!" cried Bridget, and she in her turn flung them on the floor.
"I don't care a snap," went on Sally, "I say I won't put up with it!"
"Dear me, Sally what's the matter?" said Bessy, who chanced to be present.
"What's wrong with you note!" said Bridget.
"Why, she's just after telling me we can't have folks come to see us here any more; especially 'male citizens,"' and she mimicked Mrs. Hibbard's voice to such perfection that
(78) Bridget laughed heartily. "She says we can see them when we go out. No thanks to her for that! I tell you I'm real mad!"
"That's all along of your carrying on!" said Bridget angrily, "it was your sa'ce that did it, and now other folks must suffer for your doings! Well! I an't agoing to tell any beau any such a thing. Let her tell him herself if she has a mind to, and I shan't stay another hour in her house after it. I an't a greenhorn to let folks walk right over me. I know my rights, and I'll have them, too, and if she says one word to Tom next time he comes, don't she catch it!"
Bridget was just as angry as Sally, and both talking at the top of their voice it was a perfect confusion of tongues.
One thing, however, was sufficiently plain to Bessy, namely, that the knight of the black moustache was no brother of Sally's. As soon as she could edge in a word she ventured to say, "Why, I thought that was your brother that came for you the other nightŃ"
"Brother, indeed!" said both in a breath, "just as if folks minded brothers!"
"But why did you tell Mrs. Hibbard he was, Sally?"
"Shut up!" cried Sally, "it an't any business of yours! what does a greenhorn like you know?"
Bessy, of course, gave in that she knew nothing, and was right glad to escape to her own part of the house. Mrs. Walters saw that she looked Curried and asked what was the matter.
"Not Mr. Herbert again, I hope?"
"Lord bless me, no, ma'am! -- it's only the girls below that I may say hunted me out of the kitchen just for one word I said, and I'm sure I had no harm in it either!"
Mrs. Walter smiled. "Oh! if that be all, Bessy, I am well content. You will soon learn to hold your own with them."
"Well ! I don't know, ma'am," said Bessy with a puzzled air, " I'm heard that's what I'll never do." She was thinking
of another day when she had taken a strong pair of boots of her mistress down stairs to polish, when Bridget and Sally both fell upon her. One asked what business she had cleaning boots in her kitchen, and the other took her to task for doing them at all, telling her it was the likes of her that spoiled ladies, doing what they had no right to do. Couldn't she leave them for Wash? Yes, but her mistress was going out and wanted the boots and Wash was not in. No matter, she must not attempt to come there again to clean boots, if she wanted so bad to make herself busy and do dirty work, she might do it up stairs in her own place -- that was all. With this fresh in her mind Bessy answered her mistress in a very despondent tone, but still she could not bring herself to tell matters in their worst light.
Sunday came round at last, and somehow Bessy thought the week had been long, long in passing She had asked Mrs. Walters over might what hour would be most convenient for her to g o to Mass, and agreeable to her instructions, went to eight o'clock Mass in St. James's Church. On her return she found a storm raging down stairs. Bridget was alarmingly hurried trying to get the breakfast and scolding might and main because Sally wasn't in to help her.
"What's the matter, Bridget?" inquired Bessy with her sweetest smile.
"Oh! it's easy for you to say that," snapped Bridget, "it's well for you folks that can get out when you please, here's myself working like a nigger to get breakfast for you all, and Mrs. Hibbard is angry because it ain't in sooner. "
"What Mass did you go to?" said Bessy, naturally supposing that she had got in too late.
"Mass indeed ! how would I get to Mass! don't you think I've enough to do to see to the breakfast. Half past eight soon comes these short mornings."
"But my goodness! why didn't you get up and go to six o'clock Masse" said Bessy in utter amazement; "you'd have
80 been back at seven, and have plenty of time to do your work."
"Nonsense! child, don't be talking like a fool! How could I be getting up of a morning like this in time to go out at six? I tell you it a'nt possible for anybody in this kitchen to get out at all to Mass!"
"But didn't I hear you saying before now that there's Mass in St. Mary's Church in Grand street at nine o'clock!"
"I guess there is."
"Couldn't you try, then, and go to that? when breakfast is at half-past eight, I'm sure you could. "
Bridget, driven to extremity, turned sharp round at last. "Will you not be botherin' me, Bessy Conway? Mind your own business, and maybe you it find it enough ! God doesn't expect impossibilities!"
"Oh! I know that well, glory be to His name!" said Bessy, "blot it's not an impossibility for you to hear Mass -- I think it's your own fault if you don't!"
This made Bridget furious. "I vow to God I'll Scald you," she almost shrieked; "if you're wise you'll get out of my way! do you think I have nothing else to do but listen to your chat?"
"Well! well! Bridget, I'll say no more," said Bessy mildly, "I suppose Sally is out?"
"I guess she's gone to St. Mary's," said Bridget, a little mollified by Bessy's gentleness; " she went out just before you came in."
"Why, she'll be too late even for nine, then!"
"That's her own business," retorted Bridget, "not yours or mine. There! if I wasn't near scalding myself badly -- now just get along up stairs, will you? That's all your doings!"
This new version of the wolf and the lamb of course sent Bessy up stairs without further delay, and she vowed that it would be a long day before she undertook to admonish Bridget again She could not help reasoning with herself on what was
(81) to her so passing strange. "Now," thought she, "isn't it curious? For the little I've seen of Bridget, I really think she's an honest, decent girl, for all her bad temper, and then see how she sends so much of her earnings home to her mother, still she thinks nothing of losing Mass on a Sunday! Well! God help her! more's the pity!"
It appeared that Bridget complained to Sally on her return that Bessy had been making herself busy in their affairs, whereupon Sally took the first opportunity of rating her soundly.
"Now I'm just going to give you one advice, Bessy!" said she when, the family and Mrs. Walters being gone to Church, they found themselves alone together up stairs. "As long as you and I are in one houses don't ever dare to pass any remarks on me, whether I go to Mass or not. I guess you won't have to answer for my soul, so it an't any business of yours!"
"Well, but, Sally," said Bessy kindly and soothingly, " between ourselves, now isn't it a great sin, ay! and a great shame to be so careless about hearing Mass on Sunday, when you know the obligation that's on you!"
At this Sally turned and fixed her eyes disdainfully on Bessy.
"I guess there are some folks that never lose Mass that a'nt any better than other folk that a'nt so very particular. But to be sure it's a fine thing for a girl living out to have gentlemen," laying a bitter emphasis on the word, "coming to see her! I guess we a'nt blind anyhow -- we've got eyes as well as others, and can see folks parading up and down in front of the house most every evening -- ha! ha! that brings the blood to your face ! -- you see folks here are wide awake, Bessy Conway, so you'd better look out for what concerns yourself, and let others alone!" She flounced away with her broom in her hand, and banged a neighboring door after her.
Bessy was, indeed, startled by what she had heard. Was Herbert still keeping her in mind, then, and haunting like as
(82) ghost on her account the house which he might not enter. There was something in the thought that pleased her she dared not think why, though it grieved her, too, to find that "the landlord's son" was still making so little of himself and the people he belonged to.
In the afternoon she got leave from her mistress to go out, and after Vespers she thought she would go and see how Mrs. Sheehan was getting on. She found the old woman all alone and saying her beads, while her plaintive moans and the tears that streamed profusely from her eyes showed that Philip's eternal weal was the object of her supplication.
Bessy paused at the door and peeped in. Deeply touched by the sight of the old woman's grief, and respecting her pious occupation, she hesitated whether to go in or not, but the sound of a heavy foot on the stairs behind decided her at once and in she went with the old familiar greeting, "God save all here."
"God save you kindly!" said Dolly, crossing herself with her beads, and rising with the aid of a chair at which she had been kneeling. She did not at first recognize her visitor, and raised her hand to shade her tear-dimmed eyes as she peered into the smiling face before her. At last Bessy laughed out and asked did she not know her.
"Why, dear bless me! is it you, Bessy Conway? Wisha, then, but I'm overjoyed to see you. Sit down, achorra machree! and take an air of the file."
Bessy did so, and asked how Paul was.
"He's well, I'm obliged to you -- but, indeed, I'm afeard he's workin' too hard. It comes heavy on the creature to pay for the room and keep two of us up -- it makes myself ashamed, se it does ! for sure I know well enough I'm a heavy burthen on him, poor man!" '
"You should be, supposin' I had you on my back," said Paul himself as he stumped into the room, "'deed you would, Mrs. Sheehan, ma'am! on account of the load I have on it (83)
already. Why, Bessy Conway! is this yourself? how does the world use you these times!"
"Well! I can't complain, Paul! I'd be well off entirely if I only had my people near me, but it's a lonesome thing to be among strangers; no matter how good they are still you can't open your mind to them and make free with them as you would with your own."
"True for you, ma colleen dhas!" said old Dolly with great feeling.
"What about Master Henry?" asked Paul in a low voice.
"What about him, Paul?" said Bessy in some alarm, "why what do I know about him!"
"You never see him, then!"
"No more than I see them that's in Ireland! Do you -- do you ever see him yourself any time?" she added with some hesitation.
"Of an odd time I do," said Paul elevating his eyebrows with a comical gesture; "he's mighty bad with an old complaint that follied him at home."
"An old complaint!" cried Bessy, her cheek pale as ashes; "Lord bless me! what is it?"
"Oh! it's one that won't kill him -- don't be afeard!" said Paul coolly and with keen irony; "all the doctors in New York couldn't cure him -- no, nor you either, Bessy Conway! for he had it long before ever he seen you!"
Bessy's face was covered with blushes at this broad hint. "Me cure him! why, Lord bless me, Paul ! what virtue have I to cure any one! -- sure enough you're the quarest man living Then disguising her emotion, she said with a view to change the subject:
"How is Ned Finigan doing -- and the Murphys?"
"All well, and doing well -- ' like the people in America,' as they used to say at home. Ned has a fine liquor store of it somewhere about Prince street, I b'lieve they're goin' to have a dance there good for a house warming."
"I must go and see them nest Sunday if I get out," said Bessy, " but I wanted to call and see Mary Murphy the day, for she was up two or three times to see me. God be with you all till I see you again!"
"I say, Bessy!" said Paul hurrying after her to the stairs, and raising himself on his toes to get to her ear, " take care of them you know."
"Why, botheration to you, Paul! was that all you had to say!" and Bessy ran down stairs in a real or pretended pout, the dwarf's discordant laugh ringing in her ears till she reached the door.
"Ah, then, now," said she to herself as she hurried along the narrow, crowded side walk in the direction of Chatham square, " ah, then, now, isn't it a hard case that he's a'throwing in my face go where I will, an' me never sees a sight of him. It's no wonder I was afeard of remarks bein' passed, for I see I can't escape people's tongues as long as himself and me are in the same city." And the tears rushed to her eyes. She hastily raised her gloved hand to wipe them away, when a well-known voice accosted her with:
"Bessy! my poor Bessy! what's the matter?" The words were almost spoken in a whisper, but Bessy heard every syllable, and she feared to raise her eyes or give any sign of recognition, for she knew it was Henry Herbert that spoke, and she began to have an instinctive notion that prying eyes were ever upon her, and ears ever open to find pretense for insinuation.
"Go away for God's sake!" she said without looking up, and she walked on faster than ever.
"Are you almost tired of service yet?" said the soothing voice again, and still at her side.
"No, no, if you'd only let me alone. For the love of Heaven, go away, or I'm ruined entirely. You don't know what I have to suffer on account of you. "
"Never mind, Bessy! you'll get over it all -- I don't pity you now, though, for the fault is your own!"
Involuntarily she raised her eyes to his face, and she thought it was paler and thinner than usual. Paul's words immediately occurred to her, and she forgot for a moment her own concerns in anxiety for his health.
"Dear me! Master Henry! I'm afeard there's something the matter with you. It's true enough, then, what Paul said?"
"What Paul said' What did he says" demanded Herbert quickly, and if his face was pale before it was red enough then. " What did he tell you, Bessy?"
"Why nothing that was any harm, Master Henry, so don't be angry !"
"What did he say? Let me hear it at once!"
"Bless me! he only said that you were troubled with an old complaint of yours since you came to New York! I'm sure that was no harm."
Herbert laughed scornfully. " Oh ! of course not. But what complaint did he say it was I"
"Well! he didn't mention any in particular -- he only said that it was one the doctors couldn't cure -- I suppose he meant the doctors here!" she added by way of apology, but glancing timidly up in Herbert's face, she shuddered to see the dark scowl that was on his brow. His eyes were like living coals and his thin lips drawn oft the teeth with a strange and ghastly smile.
"Don't mind him Bessy!" he said with an absent air, as though he half forgot her presence, "he did but jest -- go home, Bessy! it isn't well for you to be abroad after dark. I do not otter to accompany you, for I know it would only frighten you if I did. But go home, I charge you, Bessy! lest evil come upon you. Such wickedness as you never dreamed of roams abroad here under cover of the night."
They had crossed the square by this time, and reached the corner of Division street, Bessy forgetting in her bewilderment
that she and Herbert were walking side by side. All at once the impropriety of the thing occurred to her mind and she stopped. " For the Lord's sake, Master Henry, go away from me ! I'll never open my lips to you, if you come a step farther -- "
" I'll go, I'll go -- -but just tell me where are you going?"
"I intended to go to Houston Street to see Mary Murphy, but I'll not go now, it's getting so late."
" That's right -- go home as fast as you can. Ha!" he muttered as the girl turned to retrace her steps across the square, "ha! there was no time to lose! -- my poor Bessy!"
He stood looking after her a moment with a softened expression, then cast his eyes anxiously on a tall personage who had just turned the opposite corner from Catherine street. It appeared this individual had caught a glimpse of Bessy's pretty face as she passed under the lamp, and on reaching the corner he turned and walked rapidly after her. Herbert; hoped for a moment that Bessy was not the object of the man's pursuit, but he hoped in vain, for she had not gone many yards across the square when he saw him accost her, bending down to peep under her bonnet with an impertinent stare. The girl's exclamation of alarm was plainly heard by Herbert for he was already close behind, and the next moment he laid his hand on the man's arm.
"I say, Dixon, let that girl alone!" he said in a low but determined tone. The other turned on hearing his name, and a sinister smile gleamed across his sallow features.
" Ho! ho, Herbert! is it you! Am I trespassing, eh? By Jupiter! I admire your taste! -- where did you pick her up?"
"Take care what you say, Dixon I" said Herbert, and ho blushed like a young girl, "you're altogether mistaken -- come this way, I have something to tell you!" It needed not the imperative gesture which he made to induce Bessy to hurry away as fast as her feet w
ould carry her. It was hard to say at the moment which was uppermost in
her mindŃgratitude to Herbert, or sorrow to find him on familiar terms with a person who, even to her inexperienced eye, seemed anything but a good companion. Even the one glance she had dared to take at his face showed "a laughing devil in his sneer" and a look in his great black eyes that she could not think of without a shudder.
"My goodness!" said she to herself, "how did Master Henry fall in with such company as that! I'm afeard -- I'm afeard he's foolish for himself."
She sighed heavily as this idea presented itself to her mind, for she was thinking of the anxious care with which he had been urging her to go home before the evening advanced farther.
"He wishes me well, at any rate," she said to herself; " I wish to goodness he was only half as particular in regard to himself. Well! well! I suppose it can t be helped, but I hope in God he'll not be troublin' me any more!"
Well pleased to find herself at home again, she opened the area gate and was going to knock at the basement door when plump she came in the dark archway against some one standing there. The exclamation of surprise that escaped her was stifled by a hand laid on her mouth, and a voice which she knew to be Sally's whispered: "Hush -- hush! not a word for your life!"
"Oh! it's you, Sally! Well! I'm sure, if you didn't take a start out of me!"
"Push the door and go in!" said the whispered voice again.
Bessy did so, wondering much at Sally's standing out of doors such a night as that. As she closed the door the light from the hall fell upon a face with a black moustache and a pair of sharp eyes that certainly did not belong to Sally.
Deeming it the best of her play to take no notice, Bessy passed on up stairs, but just glanced into the kitchen where Wash was cleaning knives and Bridget making some biscuit for tea. Both appeared much heated, which was not sur-
prising, for they had been discussing certain points of morality in connection with religion, and the subject being an exciting one they had grown quite hot upon it, Bridget, of course, having the best of the argument as far as talk went
Wash was not slow in appealing to Bessy as one who ought to know. The point under discussion was whether people did not pay to go to confession, or as Wash phrased it, "to get whitewashed."
"Why nonsense, Wash," said Bessy very seriously, "what puts the like of that in your head?"
"By Gosh, it's true enough," said the nigger with a grave shake of the head, "didn't I hear Rose Hagerty ask Missis for money to go to confession."
"Now, Bessy, how can we stand that?" said Bridget with a wrathful look at Wash. "There's a story for you!"
"Guess, I didn't make it," returned the nigger, "Rose knew what she was about v ell as most people, and I hear her say dat ever so often just wait I tell you. 'Spose the priest don't charge much for lying or stealing."
This home-thrust made Bridget wince. "You black devil," she said with rising choler, "you don't mean to say any one here does one or the other?"
"Can't say, Bridget," returned Wash with provoking coolness, "it an't far from stealing to throw good bread in the dirtbox and butter in the greasepot. Den for lies. Gosh!" and he chuckled to himself at the thought, "Golly! I hear as many told in dis kitchen as would fill a barrel! "
Bridget was speechless with anger, but Bessy assured the old man that no one ever paid anything for going to confession, adding that those who were capable of making such an assertion seldom troubled a priest at all.
"If they went to confession regularly," said she, " as they ought to do, Wash ! you'd never see them wasteful or extravagant about other people's things, or makin' free in any way with what didn't belong to them! no, nor you'd never hear
them speakin' anything but the truth, or askin' for money to go to confession."
Bessy waited for no more, but hurried off up stairs vexed with herself for having delayed so long. At the same moment Mrs. Hibbard made her appearance from the dining room, which, as in most American houses, was on the basement floor.
"Well!" said she,"I have just heard what passed here on the subject of confession, and from my experience I should say Bessy is right. Those girls of whom you spoke, Wash, were about the most unprincipled that I ever had in my house. In fact I had reason to know afterwards that on some of those occasions when they asked money for going to confession on Saturday afternoon, it was to a dance house or low tavern they event for an evening's amusement. Where is Sally?"
Wash looked at Bridget and Bridget looked at Wash. They would have been in a sad quandary as to what they should say, (fearing Sally's vengeance in case they told the truth,) when luckily for them she appeared to answer for herself
"Where have you been, Sally?"
"Up with Ellen in the nursery, ma'am."
"Dear me! you look as cold as though you had been out of doors "
"It's a bad cold I have, Mrs. Hibbard."
"You should take something for it -- some hot gruel going to bed." And the lady returned to the dining-room where the family were assembling for supper.
"Hot gruel -- ahem!" and Sally coughed affectedly, whereupon Bridget was seized with a fit of laughing. To mark her appreciation of the joke she gave Sally a thump on the back. Wash was going to remonstrate, but received peremptory orders to "shut up," and did so accordingly as in duty bound.

10 Delicious Ways to Make Chicken Soup
Whether it's a blustery fall day, a case of the sniffles, or just your average Monday, chicken soup is exactly what you need. There's just something magical about that combination of steaming savory broth with tender bites of chicken, isn't there? No matter what happened during the day, by the time I'm scraping the bottom of the bowl, my shoulders have relaxed and I'm feeling like myself again.
Classic chicken noodle, spicy chicken gumbo, white chicken chili, or any other way you want to spin it, chicken soup spells comfort in bowl. Here are our ten favorites.
There are so many ways to spin a chicken soup, you could make nothing but chicken soup all winter long and probably be perfectly happy! I grew up on chicken noodle soup, and this is where I naturally gravitate when the leaves start to change color. But once I get my fix out of the way, I'm on to other things.
Let's talk about this white chicken chili — I have vowed not to let another fall go by without making a batch. Licking the screen just isn't going to cut it anymore. I'm also thinking that the white bean and chicken sausage stew would be great to make ahead and freeze for busy weeknights. I love the 30-minute chicken posole, too. It comes together so quickly, and with its fresh and crunchy toppings, it's a perfect summer-into-fall soup.
Chicken soup: it's what's for dinner. I, for one, couldn't be happier.

Hello everyone,
A friend of mine is a pretty die-hard Christian (shock horror, both of his parents are missionaries/vicars) and he often posts little sayings of some kind or another on Facebook, which I usually ignore. However, today he posted something that really irritated me for some reason:
"The more I look at science, the more in awe of God I become."
And just to make that worse, one of his Christian friends commented "Boom" as if he had made some kind of infallible argument. Somehow, I feel as though nothing I say will make any difference because they must be incredibly deluded already to believe that God just "invented" science. Basically, this is the guy who thinks he's a "modern and intelligent" Christian by saying that things like Noah's Ark are "just stories and aren't meant to be taken seriously by Christians". But if that is true, then why take ANY of the Bible seriously and where does he draw the line between stories and (what he believes is) the truth?
In the past I asked him and his friend where the evidence was. He claimed science (yes, seriously) helped prove Christianity and that Christianity was about "opening yourself" to it and believing, and then you "feel God" or whatever. How do you argue with someone like that??
What do you all say to religious people (not necessarily just Christians) who claim that science is just an invention of God? Is there a specific way to argue with someone who twists everything to awkwardly suit modern day thinking?

RE: "you can't prove He doesn't" - it's not our job to "prove he doesn't," you're making the assertion, it's your job to prove he does. Where do you get your ideas, Richard? The Bible?
The only part of the Bible that tells us that your god created everything, are the first two chapters of Genesis, or "Bereshit," as it was called in Hebrew, "According to Moses" - but biblical scholars have established that Moses didn't even write those books, Chapter one was written by the Priestly Source, a group of Jewish priests in exile in Babylon, sometime after 522 BCE, and Chapter Two was written by a group known as the Yahwist Source, living in the Southern Kingdom of Judea, around 950 BCE, both living and writing hundreds of years after Moses, if he ever existed, took the long dirt-nap. So much for your inerrant book!
The "god as first cause" argument, Richard, forces the question, what created your god?
Don't bother. You're trying to kick water uphill.
Rich, I hope you hang around a while this is some funny shit.
Please, tell us more...but wait a sec...I gotta clean my screen...it's cover with the coffee I've been spewing out my nose everytime I read another of your posts....OK, I'm ready now. :)

Chicago's young actors might have another opportunity to further their careers--in reality TV.
Emmy award-winning production company The Wolper Organization is casting actors in their 20s and 30s for a reality TV pilot called "The Nick of Time" that is set to be filmed in Chicago in early 2013. If the show is picked up by a network, it will follow the actors as they try to make it in show business.
The producers are looking for charismatic young actors with great personalities, big dreams and ambitions who are serious about making acting their careers. Interested actors can send their photo and resume to email@example.com through Jan. 7.
Actor- writer-director Nicholas Celozzi II, who has written or produced more than 20 independent films, is the creator and an executive producer of "The Nick of Time." Mark Wolper ("Bates Motel," "Penn & Teller") serves as director and executive producer. Claire Simon Casting is handling the auditions.
Here's what the production company says about the pilot:
"The Nick of Time" will be a documentary style half-hour TV show, following a handful of up-and-coming young actors in their 20s and 30s as they aggressively pursue their dreams of acting. If the show is picked up, we will follow the actors through the struggles, triumphs and frustrations of trying to make it in Hollywood.
In the show, Nicholas Celozzi will teach these young actors how to navigate the business of becoming a successful working actor and gauge if they have what it takes to make it. As an actor, he co-starred in movies and TV shows with Steven Segal, Danny Aiello, Michael Pare, Ron Pearlman, George Peppard, Robert Conrad, Judd Nelson, Alison Eastwood, Dick Van Patten among others, and played as a re-occurring character in "Days of Our Lives."
Actors should be 20-30, all ethnicities.

Jim Sargent
An advertisement on one of the Norwich radio stations caught Jim Sargent's ear some 25 years ago. It was for a part-time evening worker. He didn't really know what he'd do or what training he needed. He had a degree from Syracuse University, had taught music for over a decade and knew that he loved to listen to the radio. The station's general manager took the application and hired Sargent on the spot. He started as a production assistant for commercials. He changed the music reels at night, a task was phased out with computers. He even had a live evening show on the Chenango County's most powerful station, WKXZ. He's been a vital station resource since he started and is now the Norwich news director, reporting on everything from Hillary Clinton's visit in 1999 to the floods of 2006 and 2011.

PSNH discount carries a cost: Loyal customers pay more, those who switch offered lower rateDAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 02. 2014 9:39PM
A pilot program offering a special rate to lure Public Service of New Hampshire customers back into the fold after they had left for competitive energy suppliers is likely to be suspended.
The staff of the Public Utilities Commission and the Office of Consumer Advocate are recommending that the PUC end the "alternative default energy rate" because it hasn't been working as intended, and has been harming PSNH's longtime, loyal customers.
In a page taken from the Prodigal's Son, the PUC approved the alternative rate in April 2013, when regulators became concerned about the pace at which customers were leaving PSNH to purchase energy supply from someone else, even though PSNH continues to deliver the electricity.
With so many customers leaving PSNH energy supply, the PUC became concerned that the burden of utility costs on a shrinking number of ratepayers would become unsustainable. Something had to be done to stop the bleeding.
At the time, competitive energy suppliers were undercutting the PSNH rate by one or two cents per kilowatt hour. So while customers who never left PSNH energy supply continued to pay the higher energy supply rate, anyone who returned to PSNH was offered a lower rate closer to what competitors were offering in the unregulated market.
The theory was that such a move would stop the "customer migration" and keep rates more stable for all PSNH customers. But it didn't work out that way.
"To date, the alternative energy default rate has failed to achieve the stated goal of providing a measure of benefit to default rate customers," the staff attorney and consumer advocate wrote in a June 23 letter to the commissioners.
"In each of the monthly reports filed by PSNH, default energy service customers are subsidizing alternative default energy customers in every month except April 2014. This means that default customers are not receiving any benefit and in fact are being harmed by the alternative default energy rate ... This is the opposite of the projected impact."
The likely end of the alternative default rate is another indication of how fluid energy prices have been for the past two years. As the staff points out in its letter to the PUC, the market costs of power were so high in the winter months that the alternative rate served no purpose and was not even offered.
What about customers who are still on the alternative rate? "PSNH will have to develop a process to move those customers to the default energy service rate or advise them of the opportunity to return to competitive supply," the staff writes.
The PUC staff has now turned its attention to a new dynamic. Customers have figured out that they can take the low-cost competitive supply in the spring, summer and fall, and return to the more stable PSNH default rate for the coldest months, when the market rate soars because of natural gas constraints. That kind of consumer behavior in large numbers would spell real trouble for PSNH.
"We believe that PSNH needs to address what the company will do if energy prices spike in the coming winter as they did in 2013-2014," according to the staff letter. "Because customers can return to PSNH energy service when competitive suppliers' prices reflect the higher market prices, PSNH could again experience increased load that would have to be supported through market purchases at those higher prices."
The letter from staff attorney Suzanne Amidon and Consumer Advocate Susan Chamberlin hints at how regulators might solve that problem. "Staff originally proposed that customers who migrate to competitive supply should be subject to a one-year 'stay-out' from default service; the commission may want to reconsider the merits of that proposal."
PSNH spokesman Martin Murray said a range of options is on the table.
"Energy prices were steady when the pilot program was developed and filed," he said, "subsequently, they became very volatile and the rate did not produce the relief that was expected. We are open to revisiting the rate and exploring a range of practical options for implementation of an alternative rate that might be more effective."

Silicon Catalyst: Leading the Renaissance in Hardware
December 28th, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
I made the mistake of being on the Streets of San Francisco on Tuesday, November 7th, and was witness to the madding DreamForce crowds – particularly the lucky 50,000+ of them headed to AT&T Park where Alicia Keyes and Lenny Kravitz were waiting to entertain the VIPs of the SalesForce world.
Although the traffic was debilitating on that Tuesday night, the sheer scale of the SalesForce presence (now very obvious in San Francisco as their towering mega-temple is about debut) provided such an interesting compare and contrast to my adventures on the following morning.
On Wednesday, November 8th, I had the good fortune to attend a Press and Analyst briefing at a low-slung building in Silicon Valley.
The hosts of that event were the leadership and evangelists of a small, laser-focused group called Silicon Catalyst – an incubator that intends to pave the way for the semiconductor super stars of the future. The folks at Silicon Catalyst hope that one of the companies in their carefully vetted portfolio may become the SalesForce of tomorrow, the mega-force in technology that dominates cities, skylines, and baseball parks.

Methodics: Integrated IP/Lifecycle Management Tools for the Enterprise
December 21st, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
The company's strategy of integrating their lifecycle management tools with products like Perforce version control software and Subversion from Apache, means they dovetail with industry standard solutions. As a natural outgrowth from that, Methodics' IP-related offerings also work at the enterprise level, helping the customer's distributed team coordinate and catalog IP use, and keeping track of third-party IP use as well.
In my recent phone call with Methodics CEO Simon Butler, it was clear the company is seeing the fruits of their many years of hard labor come to fruition.

Happy Talk: CEOs, Celebrity, Seasoning
December 14th, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
An honor, because the CEO's organization has decided your track record as a journalist warrants a few minutes of time with the company's leadership. A pain, because the more highly paid the CEO, the larger the organization, the bigger the market cap, the less unvarnished the truth you'll hear during the interview.
It's guaranteed, while interviewing a high-flying CEO, that you'll hear that everything is great with the company. The customers love the company's products, can't live without them, and assist and insist on helping the company produce its next release.
REUSE 2017: Opportunity knocks, Who's answering
December 7th, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
It goes without saying that IP is a pivotal part of the semiconductor supply chain today. Organizations like Arm and Synopsys reap huge benefits from being among the principal suppliers of that IP. But there are hundreds of IP companies in the world – big, medium, and small – that also provide IP.
Potentially, they could all be participating in something like Reuse 2017. Arm, for instance, is participating in the conference, along with dozens of smaller companies. Synopsys, however, is not.

Sonics: Leading the industry by example
November 30th, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
Currently Grant Pierce is an exceptionally busy man. Not only is he leading Sonics, he's also serving as Chair of the ESD Alliance. It's a fortunate circumstance to have Pierce leading the Alliance; his point of view is exactly what's needed to help shape what was originally an EDA-focused organization into something that embraces the full set of constituencies driving electronic system design today. Pierce is strongly committed to new technologies and the small companies that drive the innovation.
Pierce and I spoke by phone in late November. He is clearly very enthused about the company and the ESD Alliance.
IP-SoC 2017 – Headliners include de Geus, Saxby
November 16th, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
To celebrate, IP-SoC 2017 is showcasing two of the biggest names in the IP industry – Synopsys CEO Dr. Aart de Geus and ARM founder Sir Robin Saxby. That's pretty news worthy and a distinct reflection of the significant role Design and Reuse has played for more than two decades in promoting the wide-spread development and reuse of semiconductor IP.
Of course, it's also worth noting that de Geus and Saxby will not be the only speakers with deep expertise in the technology.

Arm Momentum: Segars embraces exciting times
November 9th, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
Last year, Japan-based SoftBank purchased ARM for $32 billion, just a few days after the Brexit vote, and took the company private. This year, SoftBank sold 25-percent of ARM to Saudi Arabia, in a deal that was part of the company's (and kingdom's) Vision Fund juggernaut.
Simon Segars has more than survived all of this change. He is still CEO of the most ubiquitous IP provider in the world, and now also has a seat on the Board of Directors of SoftBank.
As I prepared for my phone call with Segars last week, I was pretty sure he would decline to answer the bulk of the questions on my list. Surprisingly, however, he answered all of them, with ease and on the record. We started with the most astonishing news of all: ARM has changed its name.

Cliosoft: Managing the IP Reuse Ecosystem
October 26th, 2017 by Peggy Aycinena
Adding to the momentum for Cliosoft: In May, the company announced designHUB: "A collaborative IP reuse ecosystem that enables companies to efficiently reuse all types of IP, including semiconductor IP, scripts, PDKs, documents, methodologies, etc. within the company, along with the user experience."
Anantharaman is clearly enthused about the possibilities designHUB presents for the company's customers, and is equally enthused about Cliosoft itself.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
College football is everything. Big 12 competition is fierce; facing an elite opponent weekly is a way of life for student-athletes in the conference. However, a life separate of Big 12 football is possible. There are those who dedicate themselves to making an impact on the field, as well as those who strive to make an impact off of it.
The West Virginia University football program possesses one of those rare players. He is one who gives his heart and soul not only to his team, but also to his community.
Senior offensive lineman and current center, Pat Eger, admits his biggest challenge over the past five years has been mentally preparing himself weekly for the collegiate football lifestyle. Balancing the demands of his ever-changing role on the offensive line and his commitment to giving back has never been easy, but it is something Eger has consistently achieved.
"It's not like you're going to have an easy week in the Big 12," Eger says. "It's always going to be a battle. Wherever I need to be for the team and the offensive line to be successful is where I'm going to be, but that's not all there is to it."
Eger explains simply, "You have to give back to the community what the community has given you. It's a big passion of mine along with football- giving back. I've been doing it my whole life."
He's not exaggerating. The Jefferson Hills, Pa. native began volunteering in kindergarten due to encouragement from his mother, Terrie. Eger would take his dog, Maggie, to the nursing home Terrie was employed at once a week to visit the residents. He continued to volunteer throughout high school.
His senior project involved taking 35 residents of a local nursing home to a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball game. Organizing the event alone, Eger made it possible for each resident to have dinner and receive a t-shirt at the game.
"It's just what he does," says Eger's mother, Terrie. "If you don't take care of people, people won't take care of you. He takes every opportunity he can find to give back."
During his time in Morgantown, Eger has been visiting Ruby Memorial Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House regularly. He takes advantage of his free time and does what he's been doing for years: gives back to the community. Eger's mother jokes that he should have been a teacher- he has always been great with kids and shows it with his commitment to visiting them in Morgantown.
"Just to go over for an hour and put a smile on a child's face, that means so much to me to be able to do that," Eger explains. "I know it even means more to them for me to be there visiting. There's no other feeling like that."
In addition to his volunteerism at WVU, Eger continues to give back to his hometown. When he travels home on bye weeks or breaks, he always stops at the nursing home. As a part of the Heart's Desire program, Eger fulfilled the desire of a WVU alumni suffering with dementia. She wished to attend a Mountaineer football game, but that being impossible, Eger made the trip to Pennsylvania to fulfill the wish the best way he thought possible.
"Pat came up here and stayed the day with her," Terrie explains. "He bought some clothes for her and brought posters that he had signed, and they talked all day. The joy that he brought her that day was unbelievable. She still has the posters he signed and gave to her."
Eger, a part of the Orange Bowl-winning 2011 Mountaineer football team, often brings back his championship ring as a piece of WVU history for nursing home residents to witness. Visiting and getting to know other WVU alumni, Eger has been able to identify more with the university.
"Pat learns as an individual too," Terrie says. They're a wealth of information. They've taught Pat details about the university that he would have never known."
Eger has already made plans to continue his volunteerism after his days of Mountaineer football come to an end. He plans to cut his now shoulder-length strawberry blonde hair and donate it to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths campaign after the conclusion of the Mountaineers' 2013 season.
Offensive line coach Ron Crook describes Eger's passion on and off the field as being shown each with a similar level of intensity, but in very different ways. His attitude makes him a threat on the field and a best friend off of it.
"He's very aggressive, and with his position on the offensive line that's what we're looking for," Crook says of the 6'6", 300 pound center. "Off of the field, he's very friendly and easy to talk to. He's a very good, well-rounded person."
Looking into the future, Eger plans to attain his master's degree from WVU and head to the NFL combine. While he has high hopes of being drafted, he values his education and has spent the last four-and-a-half years dedicated to academics, along with athletics and volunteerism.
"Hopefully I'll get a chance to play in the NFL. If that doesn't work out, I have things to fall back on," Eger says. "That's why I studied so much when I was here- to have opportunities when I'm done with football."
As his mother says, "Pat can't take a compliment- he readily will give someone else the credit". Eger attributes every aspect of his success at WVU to his family and fans.
"At the end of the day I wouldn't trade this for anything," Eger reveals. "Of course I'll miss it. I say it all the time- WVU has the best fans in the world. This is the state's team. Everyone lives and dies for it. Everyone in this state supports me like I'm one of their own, and that, that's the good stuff."

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Myanmar will allow the United Nations into strife-torn Kachin state to deliver humanitarian aid for the first time since a recent escalation of fighting between ethnic rebels and government troops, officials said Wednesday.
The announcement came after the government and rebels agreed Monday to work toward ending a bloody conflict that has forced thousands of civilians to flee the area in northern Myanmar.
Presidential spokesman Ye Htut confirmed that agencies providing humanitarian assistance will be allowed access to Kachin state.
"Who will be in the group, how it will be done or who will take charge of security will be discussed," he said in response to an emailed query.
A U.N. spokesman, Aye Win, said it was "significant" that aid could be delivered for the first time since fighting escalated in December.
The U.N.'s last aid mission to Kachin state was in July.
The conflict in Kachin state has cast a shadow on Myanmar's progress in implementing democratic reforms after a half-century of repressive military rule.

With the highlander claymore now showing up in main system LOTR sets, and the gladius showing up in two minifig series it seems safe to say that we have two new members of the lego sword family. I'm interested to know your thoughts on these swords.
For myself, while I like the blade design the hilts just do not 'do it' for me. For some reason the new swords seem 'cheap' next to the classic short swords. Do you agree or is that just me?

Three fundamental problems are costing U.S. cotton growers money and are threatening the industry's survival in the world market these days: A quality standard that is out of touch with the world market, the premium and discount sheet associated with it and a farm bill written at a time when the U.S. was exporting its surplus.
"It's time for change," cotton marketing expert Ed Jernigan told a group of farmers at the recent Southeast Cotton Conference in Rocky Mount, N.C.
Short of change, Jernigan fears the same fate for the cotton production sector as happened in the textile industry.
"If the industry doesn't police itself, someone will," the president and CEO of Globecot and the Jernigan Group says.
Back in 1985, when many of the features in the current farm program as it relates to cotton were introduced, the U.S. was producing 14 million to 16 million bales of cotton and exporting about 11 million bales.
"Between 1985 and 2002, the cotton program worked very well," Jernigan says.
"The program was designed to export this cotton regardless of price. "Today, we're in a different world."
Last year, the U.S. produced a record 23-million bale crop. While the U.S. consumes about 6.1 million bales of cotton, the U.S. has to export a little less than 17 million bales.
"Think about the burden that creates" on the world market, Jernigan says. "It actually brings up the issue, 'Is there any price that this kind of volume will move?'
"No one has talked about the problems this kind of production has created and how the farm bill works to create some of these problems," Jernigan says. "The first thing I would tell you is my opinion and I'm one man."
Drawing on the analogy in the book, "Who Moved My Cheese?" Jernigan told the group of farmers and agribusiness professionals that, indeed, the cheese has moved.
"The base quality for U.S. cotton is wrong," he says. "Strict-low middling 1 1/16 type of cotton is out of touch with what's going on with the world trade. I know you've been told that's what the domestic mills want you to produce, but that's not what the rest of the world wants you to produce."
The big market for U.S. cotton now is Chinese mills, where the standard for quality is 1 1/8. Much of the world is also growing a higher quality cotton these days, including Australia, Brazil and Greece. The only people left exporting 1 1/16 cotton are the U.S., India and Pakistan. "I think the base grade we have in the United States is costing you the grower money and costing the taxpayers a lot of money.
"Because strict low middling is our base, and that's what our futures market is based on, it means that the price has to reflect a discount piece of cotton."
Looking at the markets last year, Jernigan says the numbers looked good for an increase in price, but "the bull market last season came and went in three month. The U.S. grew the wrong type of cotton and had the wrong base quality."
New York futures for July dropped almost 27.5 cents while the basis levels for the rest of the world sharply increased. "That is a wake up call to anyone in the industry, considering the bullish statistics."
In the past, China came into the cotton market for 1 1/16 cotton when they had shortages. An increase in consumption in China, as well as a collapse in the domestic market, brought China into the market. This time, they were looking for middling 1 1/32 and middling 1 1/8 cotton. In the Chinese grade system, 1 1/16 is the lowest grade. "The U.S. cotton industry was not prepared for this to happen," Jernigan says. "China now looks at U.S. cotton as the cotton of last resort."
In effect, the bear market has followed the over-production of cotton in the U.S. and has increased the importance of the CCC loan premium and discount sheet.
Jernigan says the P&D sheet is also out of touch and "antiquated." In effect, there is no incentive for growing quality cotton.
He points to south Texas production this past year, where growers had one of their best crops ever. "Most of the cotton was 1 1/8," Jernigan says. "It had a lot to do with varieties and the growing season, but what happened?
"Did the growers get a large amount of money for that cotton?" Jernigan asks rhetorically.
Basing their decision on economics and looking at the P&D sheet, the south Texas growers largely made a call to stripper pick it. "The P&D sheet says a 170 point discount for bark. They did the economics, stripper picked it and did not certify it as FiberMax. It became a generic piece of cotton and it will never reach its potential nor make the money.
"Can we blame the grower?" Jernigan asks. "If you look at the P&D sheet, he made an economic decision.
"It brings home to me that there needs to be some change made," Jernigan says. "This behavior is making the U.S. cotton sector fall behind the rest of the world."
Jernigan says Australia has established a set of discounts to discourage growers from producing 1 1/16 type cotton. "I'm not saying we should advocate that, but if the U.S. is competing against Australia, this is what they've done to get their quality in line.
"It's time to change the 40-year standard of strict-low middling 1 1/16 and the P&D sheet associated with it," Jernigan urged.
While calling for change, Jernigan notes that some are resisting it. "My fear is that this could spell big problems in the period ahead," Jernigan says.
Recounting the decline of the U.S. textile industry at a time of a corresponding decline in domestic consumption, Jernigan fears the same fate for the production sector.
"The U.S. textile industry reacted to the decline by focusing on the Washington lobbyists," Jernigan says. "I did not hear anyone take a realistic approach as to just how uneconomical is was to hold up a labor-intensive industry. I did not hear one out-of-the box solution."
The drop in domestic consumption continues to haunt the U.S. cotton industry.
Jernigan fears that the same approach of "supporting key senators and not discussing the issues" is currently taking place as negotiations for a new farm bill have begun. "Paranoia seems to be developing."
This time around, however, the cotton program will not be below the radar. "I'm worried about what will happen if these issues are not discussed," Jernigan says "If they're not, we could have the same thing happen that happened in the U.S. textile industry."

The first half of President Bush's State of the Union swan song brought together a hodgepodge of disconnected themes and proposals. Devoted to domestic issues, the first half of the speech barely alluded to the war in which we are engaged. The discussion of taxes — the proposal to make his tax cuts permanent, the vow of no new taxes, the request that those who support higher taxes send their checks and money orders to the IRS — was the highlight of the first half.
But would an average citizen watching the first half of the speech even understand the subjects the president was addressing in such a telegraphic style? Earmarks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, No Child Left Behind, the Doha Round, clean energy technology (including advanced battery technology!), greenhouse gases, global climate change, increasing government funding for science, the prohibition of cloning, the confirmation of judges, charitable choice. As Churchill said of the dessert he asked to be removed, this pudding lacked a theme.
Indeed, the themeless first half of the speech belied the seriousness of the foreign policy issues addressed in the second half of the speech. Here President Bush took justifiable pride in the surge/counterinsurgency strategy that has produced incredible progress on the battlefield in the course of a year. In an act of magnanimity that his opponents will never reciprocate, he confined his derogation of the defeatists in the chamber with him to a single sentence: "When we met last year, many said containing the violence was impossible."
In year seven of the war against the United States, however, President Bush did not even name the enemy:
We are engaged in the defining ideological struggle of the 21st century. The terrorists oppose every principle of humanity and decency that we hold dear. Yet in this war on terror, there is one thing we and our enemies agree on: In the long run, men and women who are free to determine their own destinies will reject terror and refuse to live in tyranny.
But what does our enemy believe in? Surely something more was called for.
Beyond references to the Afghanistan and Iraq fronts, the second half of the speech was notable less for what it said than what it didn't say. Where the Bush administration has focused its diplomatic efforts, its diplomacy has traced a Clintonian arc. North Korea was not even mentioned. How go the efforts to hold North Korea to its commitment to declare its nuclear programs? Interested listeners will have to look elsewhere for an answer.
At least Iran was menioned. Indeed, a close listener could deduce that Iran's war against the United States continues in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet President Bush barely mustered a harsh word toward the powers-that-be in Iran:
We are also standing against the forces of extremism embodied by the regime in Tehran. Iran's rulers oppress a good and talented people. And wherever freedom advances in the Middle East, it seems the Iranian regime is there to oppose it. Iran is funding and training militia groups in Iraq, supporting Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon, and backing Hamas? efforts to undermine peace in the Holy Land. Tehran is also developing ballistic missiles of increasing range and continues to develop its capability to enrich uranium, which could be used to create a nuclear weapon. Our message to the people of Iran is clear: We have no quarrel with you, we respect your traditions and your history, and we look forward to the day when you have your freedom. Our message to the leaders of Iran is also clear: Verifiably suspend your nuclear enrichment, so negotiations can begin. And to rejoin the community of nations, come clean about your nuclear intentions and past actions, stop your oppression at home, and cease your support for terror abroad. But above all, know this: America will confront those who threaten our troops, we will stand by our allies, and we will defend our vital interests in the Persian Gulf.
To borrow the formulation of the first President Bush: "Message: I have thrown in the towel."
President Bush also promoted his efforts to create the framework for a Palestinian state by the end of the year:
We are also standing against the forces of extremism in the Holy Land, where we have new cause for hope. Palestinians have elected a president who recognizes that confronting terror is essential to achieving a state where his people can live in dignity and at peace with Israel. Israelis have leaders who recognize that a peaceful, democratic Palestinian state will be a source of lasting security. This month in Ramallah and Jerusalem, I assured leaders from both sides that America will do, and I will do, everything we can to help them achieve a peace agreement that defines a Palestinian state by the end of this year. The time has come for a Holy Land where a democratic Israel and a democratic Palestine live side-by-side in peace.
Has the Palestinan president ever "confronted" terror? If so, last night would have been a good time to reveal his efforts. Somehow President Bush omitted to mention that the Palestinian president was in the middle of the three-day mourning period he had declared to honor one of the most vile terrorist mass murderers in the history of the modern Middle East.
The president concluded his speech with an allusion to the Constitutional Convention and its handiwork. The president attributed America's greatness not to its government, but rather to the spirit and determination of the American people. "By trusting the people, our Founders wagered that a great and noble nation could be built on the liberty that resides in the hearts of all men and women." One can't help but reflect that if there is something distinctive in the spirit and determination of the American people, perhaps not all people can similarly be trusted with the rigors of free government. President Bush invokes a universal truth while paying tribute to the virtue of a particular people.
At the end of President Bush's first term, Charles Kesler reflected on Bush's problematic invocation of the human heart in support of free government. The constitutional system of limited government reflects both trust and distrust of the people. If the founders "trusted the people," why did they limit the power of the people to express their will through the government? It seems to me that even President Bush's peroration last night tends to show a speech divided against itself.

Olivia Harlow bedroom, 2016-12-06 22:07:19. Just look at the incredible amount of detail! The bed rests against a freestanding accent wall surfaces with big circular mirrors, providing a little additional privacy to the dressing room behind it. A range of illumination offers an ambiance to match any mood. Gilded sculptures as well as upholstered wall surfaces continue the motif of creative luxury. Also candle lights appear, simply waiting to illuminate a relaxing evening with a excellent book.

Stickers For Kids Bedroom – When enhancing a children room, obnoxiously colored walls do not have to be your first step.In reality, our company believe that keeping walls white or grey and adding in smaller little bits of color offers you much more opportunities making a children room innovative and playful. That, and it will certainly keep you from repainting when they grow out of lime green or Barbie pink walls in three years. Count on us.
Olivia Harlow bedroom, 2016-12-23 23:04:51. All white isn't uninteresting in this magnificent attic room room! The subjected wood light beams contrast versus the white wall surfaces. The bed is adorned with grey bedding as well as a black paintinged integrated shelf gets the audience's attention. As opposed to maintaining the floors a all-natural wood shade, the developer has actually paintinged them white to maintain the attention on the beams in the space.
Olivia Harlow bedroom, 2016-12-29 13:16:42. This rustic attic room bedroom stands out. The light fixture made from horns is illuminated by the all-natural light let in by the large window. Wooden wall surfaces as well as a wood burning fire place make this room so relaxing. As opposed to being closed-in, like you might believe an attic room would certainly look, this space is intense as well as open. The distinctive shelf over the system bed acts as a headboard as well as an accent item. Brilliantly colored ottomans offer much more sitting for guests.
Olivia Harlow bedroom, 2017-01-16 13:22:26. When it concerns discovering vivid accents, initially consider exactly what your youngster already has. Children's books and packed animals are usually enjoyable shades, so placed them in a place that functions as style. Wall surface decals, bed linen, and rugs all can include color and pattern to a youngsters space, but can be conveniently altered with age.

(CNN) -- Serena and Venus Williams will meet for the 19th time in a competitive tournament after claiming staight sets victories in the quarterfinals of the Dubai Open on Thursday.
Serena is tied at 9-9 with older sister Venus in their career head-to-head meetings.
Top seed and world number one Serena fought back from going down 2-4 in the second set to beat French Open champion Ana Ivanovic 6-4 6-4.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon champion Venus, who is seeded six here, crushed in-form fourth seed Elena Dementieva -- the defending champion -- 6-3 6-3.
"Obviously Elena has been playing great this year and she has the game to control the match," Venus told the tournament's official Web site.
"That's how she likes to play and that's how I like to play so I'm pleased that I was able to control the match. I would have liked to have broken serve a little more, but I was able to keep the pressure on. That's the most important thing."
Their head-to-head stands at nine wins each, with Venus having won their last encounter, on a similar surface in Doha in November, before going to win the WTA Championships, the tour's end-of-year event. Watch Venus Williams in Doha »
Meanwhile, the day's biggest surprise saw France's Virginie Razzano, the world number 58, claim one of the best wins of her career with a 7-6 7-5 victory over Russian fifth seed Vera Zvonareva.
Razzano will now play 16th-seeded Estonian Kaia Kanepi, who beat Russian Elena Vesnina 6-3 7-5 in the other quarterfinal, for a place in this weekend's final.

Italy offers something new for visitors, whether it's the first, second, or twentieth time to the country. Try Ischia ( Fodor's ), Matera ( Lonely Planet) , or the Aeolian Islands ( Lonely Planet ),
Set as the home to the 2018 Winter Olympics , there's no better time to visit Pyeongchang. T+L, Robb Report, and AFAR all recommend it.
Five outlets suggested South Africa for 2018 travel. The country offers diverse destinations , from wildlife reserves to vineyards to scenic roadtrip routes.
T+L, Robb Report, and Fodor's all recommend Marrakesh , a city known for its sprawling souks, or markets. Lonely Planet recommended the lesser known port city of Essaouira.
Tied with Mexico for the top recommended place to visit, suggested activities ranged from people watching at Bondi Beach to scuba diving near the Great Barrier Reef.
Malta's famous azure window may have collapsed last year, but the island nation still has plenty to offer, and it was rated as one of the most LGBT-friendly countries in Europe.
Check out the Lahaul and Spiti districts for breathtaking mountain views, according to Lonely Planet , or head to the ancient city of Madurai, according to Frommer's .
The East African island of Mauritius might not yet be on your 2018 travel list, but with its waterfalls, national parks, and exotic plant gardens, it should be.
Returning visitors to Spain can explore beyond the mainstays of Madrid and Barcelona to check out Bilbao ( Fodor's ), Seville ( Lonely Planet ), or Lanzarote in the Canary Islands ( Lonely Planet ). The New York Times suggested Spain's wine region of Ribera del Duero, only an hour away from Madrid via high-speed train.
Visit the Du Fu Thatched Cottage in Chengdu or explore the bustling city of Shanghai. With more than 3.7 million square miles in China, you will never run out of new places to see.
Robb Report, Lonely Planet , and Frommers all suggested Hamburg, the second-largest German city. For a slower pace, travel to Bayreuth in Bavaria.
Jordan remains a safe and welcoming country to visit — the perfect destination for history buffs to explore Petra or the lesser-known Jerash .
The Seattle Seahawks are not currently in negotiations with safety Earl Thomas, and there has been nothing to indicate that they are interested in giving him an extension with his current deal running out. Thomas, even as he ages, is an All-Pro talent and could be a future Hall of Famer, so losing him could be another key blow to their secondary after Richard Sherman left in free agency. Michael Bennett is also gone on the defensive line, so the once feared Legion of Boom may be coming to an end in 2018. The Seahawks best move with Thomas might be to trade him at this point, but it's unclear if any team would be willing to meet their asking price. The Cowboys were interested around the draft, but Seattle was said to be asking for too much.
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson plead no contest to charges of reckless driving in court on Wednesday, according to his attorney, Ed O'Donnell. Anderson received six months of non-reporting probation, and all the charges stemming from his two arrests have now been addressed. However, the NFL is still reviewing everything and Anderson could get hit with a suspension to begin the year. Anderson broke out in 2017 with 63 catches for 941 yards and seven touchdowns, but that was without Quincy Enunwa in the picture. The Jets also added Terrelle Pryor to the mix, so there's no guarantee Anderson can improve on his 2017 numbers this year.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston is expecting a suspension by the NFL for an incident with an Uber driver in 2016, according to ESPN Radio 97.9 in Tallahassee's Jeff Cameron. Cameron's sources told him that the maximum is likely three games, but the most likely event is that he's suspended one game. Winston was accused of groping a female Uber driver in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the suspension would stem from his failure to report the incident to the league. The personal conduct policy states players are 'to promptly report any matter that comes to their attention (through victim or witness reports, law enforcement, or media reports) that may constitute a violation of this policy.' It's unknown if Winston would appeal.
Oakland Raiders RB Marshawn Lynch will take up more than $5 million on the Seattle Seahawks' salary cap in 2018 from his previous deal before he retired in 2016.
