PHILADELPHIA — Flyers fans booed every time Kings forward Jeff Carter touched the puck Monday, but it was music to his ears.
Carter, traded by Philadephia to Columbus and later dealt by the Blue Jackets to the Kings, scored the Kings' first goal in his first game back at the Wells Fargo Center. Justin Williams, another ex-Flyer, scored the second goal after the Kings survived a series of shorthanded situations. After the Flyers pulled even, Dwight King — who has no connection to the Flyers — scored the winner off a two-on-one at 10 minutes 36 seconds of the third period for a 3-2 decision in the opener of a short but challenging Eastern trip.
In winning their third straight game, the Kings (41-25-6) ended the Flyers' five-game winning streak.
After a scoreless first period, Carter broke through at 1:49 of the second period with a one-timer from the left circle that beat Philadelphia goalie Ray Emery to the stick side. The goal was Carter's 25th this season.
The Flyers came close to pulling even about two minutes later, when a shot by Vincent Lecavalier hit the right post, the crossbar behind Kings goalie Jonathan Quick and the left post but somehow didn't cross the goal line. That was verified on video review.
Strong work by the Kings' penalty killers got them through a stretch during which they had to fend off a four-on-three Flyers power play, a five-on-three that lasted 30 seconds, and a five-on-four. Shortly after they got back to full strength, Williams converted the rebound of a shot by Robyn Regehr to pad the Kings' lead to 2-0, one of 20 shots the Kings had in the second period.
The Flyers cut their deficit in half merely 29 seconds into the third period. Forward Matt Read's shot appeared to deflect off Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin and change direction, surprising Quick and sneaking inside the post.
Philadelphia pulled even at 2-2 at 8:18, when Jakub Voracek tipped home a fluttering shot by Scott Hartnell. But the Kings regained the lead following a turnover by the Flyers, as Slava Voynov, skating up the right side, made a fine pass to his left to King, whose shot from the inside edge of the left circle found the net. That ended a 10-game goal drought for King.
The Kings were scheduled to take the train to Washington, D.C., after Monday's game in advance of Tuesday's game against the Capitals at the Verizon Center.

text: Southern California is home to the third-largest assemblage of Rembrandt paintings in the United States, with notable strength in works from the artist's dynamic early career in Leiden and Amsterdam. Beginning with J. Paul Getty's enthusiastic 1938 purchase of Portrait of Marten Looten (given to LACMA in 1953; no. 8 in the Virtual Exhibition), the paintings have been collected over the short span of 70 years and are today housed in five museums, four of which were forged from private collections: the Hammer Museum, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles; the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena; and the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego. Together these works attest to the remarkable range of Rembrandt's achievement across his long career.

3/7 Me & Carlos
Carlos, everything he's done in Tampa, he knows how to win. We've bonded. We were the big dogs coming up through the Minor Leagues, got to the big leagues and scuffled a little bit. We went back and forth, Minor Leagues, big leagues, knowing we could play but we needed that one team to take that flyer on us. It was Texas with me, Tampa with Carlos. Carlos comes up, does what he does, signs that big deal in Tampa. We can feed off each other because at the same time, what we also have in common is Rudy. He was with Rudy in Texas before I was. Now we have that rapport, so we're talking about getting his swing back to where it was. There's a lot that goes through your head when you struggle. He struggled last year and still put up big numbers in the power category. You have to get that average back up, get that confidence back up. I had the same thing, hitting .220 in the Minor Leagues and going to Texas and working with Rudy and had to get that confidence and that feel. I knew I could hit. We started talking from day one — actually at the Cubs Convention, we started talking hitting right away. Then when we came in here the first day, we started going to the cage together, working on little things. I see things he's doing now that I did when I first came to Texas. Having more than one eye — not just Rudy's eye but my eye — and having that trust factor will help. He trusts me. When I see something, he says, "Hey, you're right, I feel it." All from that, we're learning and feeding off each other as far as hitting. I get to feed off him as far as that winning mentality and everything he did in Tampa.
There are certain things that happen in the clubhouse. I can go to him and say, "What do you think? Do we need a meeting? Do we need a one on one?" We can go back and forth. That's a good thing. We have all these veterans in here and we have a lot of help — Kerry Wood, Braden Looper, all those guys. Me and Carlos, being position players, he's very vocal, just like I am. we can talk and make sure everything stays on the up and up with this team. Last year, you have your ups and downs, but you want to keep those very, very small and stay consistent. Now, we have that rapport and hopefully we can be part of leading this team in the clubhouse and on the field and carry us all the way into the playoffs.
He's not tentative because he's the new guy. You saw me last year when I came in here, sort of loud mouth in the beginning. Everyone was like, "Marlon talks too much." At the end of the year, they were saying, "He talks for a reason." Carlos, it's the same thing. He's talking for a reason. He's not speaking out of turn, he's not speaking just to talk. He's speaking because he needs to. The time he's put in the big leagues, the winning he's done, the numbers he's put up, everything, he's earned the right for people to listen to him.

Hi Marlon!
I'm not gonna lie, Marlon. When you said "Me & Carlos" I first thought you were talking about Silva. Then I thought "maybe he's talking about Zambrano". Then I pictured Marmol in my head because I watched him pitch on WGN yesterday (by the way, nice smack to center yesterday). Then I thought "I don't think 'Me & Carlos" is grammatically correct". Then I finally realized you're talking about Pena! Don't judge me on that, I mean I haven't actually seen the guy in a Cubs uniform yet. I was hoping he would be there for yesterday's TV game, but some other guy played first base and they kept speaking spanish about his hair.
You mentioned Looper. I was wondering what you think about he and Wellemeyer? Both of these guys have been fantastic for stretches during their careers. Do you envision them making the final cut (I just started singing "The Final Countdown" in my head when I wrote that. Dud-dud-duh duhhhhh. Dud-d-dut dut duhhhh. The final coundown…).
Marlon, if the Cubs were a burrito I would say you're probably the meat, man. I mean you're right there in the middle all the time. Offensively, defensively. My sister-in-law Tara would disagree because she has your autographed ball right there on the mantle and she's a vegetarian. Maybe she'd argue that you're the beans, but come on Marlon, it's plain to see that Soto is the beans.
So, do you ever go into the clubhouse and just yell out "Hey Carlos!" just to see how many heads will turn? That's what I would do…in fact, I'll do just that if you invite me into the clubhouse this season. That would be really awesome, especially if you invite my brother-in-law Andy too. He's applying for the PA Announcer job. We'll see if God wants him at the church more or in the booth more.
In any case, my advice to you is "be yourself because most people aren't good at being someone else plus it creates less problems with the IRS".
Marlon, since your signing with the Cubs I have been nothing but happy with you as a player and how you handle yourself. I once aspired to be a pitcher and lost that ability when I lost my eye sight to a disease. Now I fix computers and sing in a local Chicago Heavy Metal band called Cold Fury, anyhow. The respect you show to the game, and to the fans who enjoy it is a testament to how others should be. I'll take your word that Carlos Pena is the same kind of guy. No offense man but as a player once myself. I am more leaning towards pitchers. Do me a favor. Tell Kerry Wood I said hi. Keep rackin up those hits and drivin in those runs. Were gonna need you this year big guy. I wish you and the entire team the best of luck this season. Oh, one more thing. give the White Sox hell for me. Take it easy Marlon, and have a good time out there. Wish I could be there to enjoy it with ya.
Huge Cubs Fan!

Nice article, great insight.
Here's hoping the reunion can propel this team! Lord knows we suffered long enough!
Geaux Cubs!
I love a great Cubs "Bromance" 🙂 Love your attitude Marlon. Thank you!!!
That's called synergy. Teammates getting behind each other, trusting each other, learning from each other. Sounds like you two are going to have fun together this year and that promises a great season. Can't wait!
Hey Marlon! I'm glad to see that you and Carlos Pena are clicking. You're off to a good start this spring, keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the Cubs this summer. I'm getting out of the Marine Corps and looking forward to going Wrigley and watching you and Carlos do some great things. Keep teaching the young guys and excelling in this year! Keep up the good attitude!
Today was my first baseball game, ever. I decided to take my grandfather for a little bonding time, and he was SO excited to teach me about the game. Just as I was really getting into it, you hit a ball into the crowd, and it hit me before I knew what was coming. 😛 I've got my bruised elbow in a sling, a smile, and a good story to share with friends, but I wasn't able to find you after so I could get the ball signed. Any chance I could get that autograph now or later?! 🙂
Mesa, AZ
What a first game! Watching you guys have fun out there and turn the score around after the sixth inning… Thanks for bringing a girl and her grandfather together.
Yesterday, I wrote a blog (A Diehard Cubs Fan Speaks Out) about teamwork, or the lack thereof. It is refreshing to hear your story with Carlos Pena. Apparently, you two guys have the understanding of what it takes to be successful. You are eager to improve, eager to learn, communicate effectively, and aren't afraid to be vocal. Those attributes are indicative of true team leaders. It doesn't matter how long either of you have been with the Cubs. The Cubs need leaders to lead the way. Thank you for providing that because the Cubs simply have not had any leadership in recent years. Sure, some are vocal, some have let their performance do the talking, but that isn't enough. The Cubs need guys that are commited to winning a championship which means, being the best that they can be and giving everything they have at all times. I am hoping that you and Carlos will have a profound influence on the others. Quite frankly, some of the veterans have appeared aloof and lackadaisical the past few years. Perhaps you should remind them how lucky they are to get paid so well for doing something that they love. I would give anything to be in that position and if I was, I promise that I would be striving to be the best that I could be and win a World Series, especially in Chicago where you would be immortalized for achieving such a feat. Anyway, I am glad to see that teamwork does exist in the Cubs' club house. Keep up the good work! I will see you in July when I visit Wrigley. As always, I will be rooting for you. Go Cubs!
AWESOME!!! Sounds like you guys are going to make a great dynamic duo! I am a glad that he's on the team and that you guys have hit it off.
With the surplus of outfielders the Cubs have and now with the addition of Reed Johnson, who do you think is going to be starting? Do you think Reed with make the major league squad? Anything postive from Fukudome down in Mesa?
Marlon, you seem like such a good guy and fun to be around. You have filled the hole DeRosa left! Both in the good guy aspect as well as the good looks! 😉
Have a great year!
I'm very excited for what the Cubs are going to bring this year..you're crushing the ball so far in the spring and i look forward to being at wrigley and seeing that great baseball instinct and hustle you bring with you…I think with the additions of Wood, Pena, Garza, and Reed Johnson-hopefully he's on the roster! will be tremendous in the clubhouse and make those day games a lil easier on you guys…
Cubbie blue forever!
mucho amore,
I really look forward to your blog posts. They're insightful, well-written, and have a lot of heart. I'm a life-long Cubs fan and I check back several times a week just to see what's going on in Byrdland. You give us glimpses into my favorite clubhouse, and I find that great fun.
Best of luck in the 2011 season and I can't wait to see you & Carlos (& Carlos & Carlos) on the field.
Always enjoy your Byrd's Nest comments. Keep 'em coming. I am sure there are lots of Rangers fans like me who still watch the box scores every day to see how you are doing. We loved you in Texas and wish you continued success in Cubbieland.
Marlon, I lived in Wrigleyville for the last 9 yrs or so and would go to about 1 game a week and a commonly when you would come up to bat, my gf or I would sing that "bird is the word" song, now I am sure you are very sick of this song but it seemed that when we sang it you would hit at least a double..
I noticed that they are letting you guys pick a song to play when you get up to bat some times at Wrigley…I suggest you pick that song, I think it has some voodoo good luck to it. thanks
also, I moved from Wrigleyville to st. Louis and have already had 3 drunks try and start fights with me for wearing my cubbie hat at local bars, so if when in town, you want to grab the guys and roll around town with me ruffing up some cards fans that would be cool too 🙂 i'll buy
thanks again Michael
I think Carlos Pena sounds like a class act. I was very impressed when he took out an ad in the St. Petersburg Times newspaper to say "farewell" and "thanks" to Rays fans. Very classy. A Byrd endorsement is like icing on the cake. Good luck, Carlos!
Are you going for 3000 hits? That would be somthing huh

Racer, don't listen to Crafty, an epithet whose true meaning I had not suspected. She is usually so nice. RG, those are amazing pictures. How did you get KB to mock his postcard? You know, KB, we all know that Racer isn't yachting anywhere, but, well, I think you get my drift. Austin awaits.

Scotland vs Texas: An unbiased comparison by an Oklahoman
A. Geography:
Scotland - hills, mountains, forests, woodlands, moors, lochs, beautiful coastlines
Texas - flat, dusty, scrub prairie, desert, plague of locusts, grimy/oily coastline
B. Weather:
Scotland - rainy, cool, snowy
Texas - hot, dry, hot, hot, tornadoes, hot, hurricanes to the south, ice on the panhandle, hot
C. Cuisine:
Scotland - Neeps and Tatties, haggis, mutton, whisky
Texas - BBQ, beer, TexMex, MexMex, Chili, whisky (Sorry, Scotland, but Texas wins this one hands down)
D. Culture:
Scotland - Rugged, potty mouthed, short tempered, reputation for being "pissed" - aka drunk- a lot
Texas - Rugged, potty mouthed, short tempered, reputation being "shit faced" - aka drunk - a lot.
E. History:
Scotland - Lifted their kilts and waved their peckers to the Crown. Remains a free people. (source: Braveheart)
Texas - Stolen from Mexico. Mexico currently stealing it back. (source: Remember the Alamo and Fox News)
F. Entertainment:
Scotland - Soccer
Texas - Football. Unfortunately, University of Texas football.
G. People:
Scotland - Scots
Texas - Texans
This is a definite win for Scotland...
SO...Racer, you have read my totally unbiased comparison between Scotland and Texas. The choice is yours alone. Choose wisely.

Brandi, I hope you are not waiting for me to disagree. It never crossed my mind that Racer would voyage to Texas. I just know he is not going to Scotland either. He is exactly where he wants to be the paradise known as HOR. Your assessment is nevertheless going to be very useful to the less wary.

Ben Affleck's CIA thriller "Argo" topped the digital movie purchases and rentals charts in 2013, outselling "World War Z" and "Star Trek: Into Darkness."
According to research company Rentrak Corp., the 2013 Academy Award-winning film from Warner Bros., which is based on a true story about a phony movie production set up to help six Americans escape Iran in 1979, nabbed the No. 1 spot.
Paramount's "World War Z" and "Star Trek: Into Darkness" were No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
Warner Bros.' "We're the Millers" and "Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" also made the list at No. 4 and No. 5, respectively. The Burbank studio's "Man of Steel" also landed on the list, at No. 9.
PHOTOS: Billion-dollar movie club
With four films in the Top 10, Rentrak ranked Warner Bros. as the No. 1 studio for movies purchased and rented digitally in 2013. Paramount was not far behind, with three films on the list.
Chris Roberts, Rentrak's senior vice president of sales of OnDemand, said electronic sell-through (EST) and Internet video-on-demand (iVOD) "saw significant growth in 2013."
The growth "was largely driven by the terrific films made available by the studios; the growth of Ultraviolet (UV); the addition of more retailers making content available digitally; and studios making more titles available early for purchase on EST," Roberts said in a news release.
Below are the 10 most sold and rented movie titles, per data collected from the week ending Jan. 6, 2013, through Dec. 29, 2013.
Rentrak Top Ten Digital Movie Purchases and Rentals
1. "Argo" (Warner Bros.)
2. "World War Z" (Paramount)

Get the hypnosis habit and keep your self improvement moving
Once you discover how to make hypnosis an everyday activity it will be your friend for life. Hypnosis is the optimum learning state for 'instinctive updating'. All kinds of habits, unwanted behaviors, fears and negative beliefs become stored in the unconscious mind. They become activated by specific triggers from the environment (in fact just like natural but unwanted post hypnotic inductions).
Self mastery
By using hypnosis effectively you can begin to master the ebbs and flows of your own emotional life. This means that addictions, fears, confidence issues and inappropriate angers and jealousies can be dealt with using your own innate power to change the way you respond to triggers. Hypnosis gives you choice. Choosing how to be when you give a presentation or play a sport or come into contact with a previously feared trigger.
Physical changes
What's more hypnosis can directly affect the workings of your body. Physical processes like digestion, blood flow, healing and pain symptoms can all be radically altered using hypnosis. (1)
Hypnosis for performance
All highly successful people - whether they be sports stars, high performing public speakers, great sales people, musicians, innovative scientists, entertainers or artists have discovered naturally (whether they know it or not) the power of self-hypnosis. Hypnosis is the best medium for perfect rehearsal.
What's more top performers regularly go 'into the zone' or 'into flow' which is akin to a focused hypnotic trance state. The regular use of hypnosis can encourage this natural flow state so that you become better at the natural psychological state required for successful action.
Practice makes perfect
Many people go into hypnosis very easily. In fact everybody experiences deep hypnosis many times. Every time you dream at night you enter what's known as the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) state-which is the deepest natural hypnotic state you experience. So all of us have the natural brain 'machinery' to experience deep trance. Hypnosis is just a way of tapping into a waking REM state.
Like anything in life the more you do it the easier it becomes. The more you practice deep hypnosis the better able you become at using it. This session will help you develop the capacity for deep hypnosis. It will also provide you with suggestions to listen regularly and often to your hypnosis downloads to get the best from them and yourself.

A review of Netflix's new anthology series What/If, which premieres with ten episodes on Friday.
It's really tough to have it both ways.
Let's say you want to do a broad, shtick-filled comedy filled with "Three Stooges" humor, e.g., a character is hit head-on by a speeding car, tumbles over the roof, lands with a cringe-inducing thud on the highway — and suffers nary a scratch or even a hairline fracture. The stuff of cartoons.
Now let's say you want to do an unapologetically sentimental character study in which one character with tears streaming down her face reveals the childhood source of all her emotional pain. The stuff of heavy drama.
"Identity Thief" gives us both of the aforementioned scenes — and while each set piece is executed with professionalism by the filmmakers and the actors (and stunt humans) involved, neither is particularly effective. The car accident comedy doesn't work because by that point, we've grown weary of the violent, consequence-free humor. Then the big reveal scene doesn't work because the movie has just spent 90 minutes telling us these people are cartoons.
Such is the identity crisis suffered by "Identity Thief." It wants to be "Midnight Run" meets "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," but it carries little of the dramatic heft and real-world semi-plausibility of those much superior efforts.
The pairing of Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy in a road trip comedy seems inspired. They're two unique comedic talents who always put an interesting spin on a line or a double take, whether starring in sitcoms or effortlessly swiping scenes in big-screen fare. Unfortunately, "Identity Thief" is a depressingly predictable road-trip buddy comedy that's far more interested in car chases, lame shootouts, physical shtick and cheap schmaltz than creating anything original.
Bateman plays Sandy Patterson, a 40-ish account executive for a financial firm who's underappreciated at work but finds comfort in the loving arms of his wife (the always-welcome Amanda Peet) and two adoring daughters. Given his gender-neutral name by a father who was a huge fan of baseball great Sandy Koufax, Sandy becomes the latest identity thief target of Diana (Melissa McCarthy), who must be the least subtle ID thief in North America.
Diana favors outfits so loud they scream, stocks her house like it's a Target store (there's even stuff on the front lawn), keeps all her phony IDs as souvenirs and goes on massive drinking and spending sprees every time she assumes a new identity. How has she not been caught, like, a thousand times?
Thanks to an idiotic premise involving Jon Favreau as the world's worst boss, Morris Chestnut as Denver's dumbest cop and John Cho as the world's worst friend, it's up to Sandy to make his way to Florida, capture Diana and bring her to Colorado. Then it's up to the screenwriter to find ways to keep Sandy and Diana on the road together for a series of wacky escapades, when all Sandy has to do is pick up a phone, dial the authorities and say, "Hey, you know that woman who stole my identity and has committed hundreds of felonies? Got her!"
Bateman and McCarthy have their moments of witty banter, but most of the time they're beating the Stooges out of each other or escaping a bounty hunter AND a couple of assassins. McCarthy does have that one aforementioned dramatic scene and she hits it out of the park — but even that moment is telegraphed a half-dozen times. Whether it's aiming for cringe-inducing laughs or trying to score the big emotional payoff, "Identity Thief" is a cheap copy of much better comedies. Here's hoping someone finds a much better vehicle for these terrifically talented actors.

Put a Smile on Your Face
Teresa talks about how she got through the tough times and what's happening now.
Hi baby dolls! So we're back, but it's kind of weird because what you're watching on RHONJ now was all filmed a year ago, and a lot has happened since then. I've been blessed with some amazing opportunities like Celebrity Apprentice, which I filmed from October until December. (And I'll be on the live season finale May 20!) So what you see on Celebrity Apprentice is a pretty good picture of me, as I am now.
Doing Celebrity Apprentice, helping raise money for sick kids, getting involved in everyone's charities, really changed my perspective on things. I'm in a much better place now than I was a year ago. I'm focusing on the truly important things in life like helping find a cure for kidney disease with NephCure. It's made me see that the problems we think are big on Housewives pale in comparison to what children like Matthew Levine go through. Can you imagine your 8-year-old child having to take 15 pills a day just to survive? I feel so blessed to have healthy friends and family, and I never want to take that for granted by focusing on petty drama like gossip and tabloids.
Right now, life is really good and we're all really happy! My businesses, my books, and my new Fabellini drink are doing great, and like a lot of you I hope, things are much better for us financially.
The economy was really tough two years ago, especially if you were in construction and owned buildings like Joe and I did. When our tenants couldn't pay their mortgage, we couldn't pay the building mortgage. We filed for bankruptcy, and the amount was huge because it included the full mortgage on several buildings. Of course, good news isn't reported as often as bad news, but here's our good news: the banks were able to sell our buildings, which was most of our debt, so we withdrew our bankruptcy petition and are working on paying off the rest of our debt ourselves! It was a very tough year, especially having pieces of it misreported in the media, but we made it through. And I think we're stronger than ever. Joe and I are great, our marriage is great, and of course, our four beautiful daughters are amazing.Everyone deals with challenges differently. I was the first to admit last year that there were days I didn't want to get out of bed, but I have four girls that look up to me to see how I handle tough situations. My belief is that you get out of bed, you put a smile on your face, you put one foot in front of the other, and you trust in God. I choose to be positive. It's a choice. It's not because I'm too stupid to know what's going on or trying to be fake. It's because I've always been a positive person, and I want my children to be as well. Whatever works for you, God bless!
While I was going through a very difficult period in my life last year, we filmed Seasons 3 and 4 back-to-back. It was rough, and looking back, there are definitely situations that I would have handled differently. All I can do is apologize, learn from them, and move on. I have personally and sincerely apologized to everyone on the show more times than I can count. I would love to resolve any of the outstanding issues from last year with my family and friends because I do love them all, but it just takes time. I do and have always wished them all the best. This first episode was rough, but you'll see me really work hard to support Melissa and repair things with my brother. And there are fun times coming up, I promise!
I worked really hard on them and am very proud of my cookbooks. It means the world to me to be able to share my family's recipes with you and your families. As I explained in both books, my "family" recipes are my mother's and her grandmother's (who raised my mom and I was named after) and Joe's mother's. I'm my mom's only daughter and I've been cooking with her since I could walk. She passed down her recipes to me, and we created new ones together over the years. I'm sure Melissa and Kathy's moms (who are not related to my mom) have great recipes too, and maybe one day we'll all do an extended-family-and-cousins-and-in-laws cookbook together, but for now, my mama and I are enjoying preserving our recipes for my daughters.
As for the jokes in my cookbooks... I've always had them in all of my books. Funny books sell better. Bethenny's humor helped her books sell, the Skinny Bitch authors' jokes helped their books sell, and I think one of the reasons Skinny Italian was so successful is because I put my personality in it. I joke about myself A LOT and I joked about my life, which includes my friends and family. I joked about Dina's insane love of meat. I joked about how where Caroline grew up in Brooklyn, they pronounced herb as "hoib." I joked about the O.C. Housewives, Atlanta Housewives, Andy Cohen, US Weekly, America's Next Top Model, and a million other things. My cookbooks are not for 5-star chefs. They're for my fans and regular housewives, who I happen to think are pretty hilarious themselves. I wanted my books to read like a fun novel, not a boring cookbook.In 2010, I began writing Fabulicious! Teresa's Family Cookbook. I had just filmed a Housewives scene with Caroline and Jacqueline and cried, telling them how they were my family too. And Caroline and I appeared on the Rachael Ray show together for a meatball "throw down." We were supposed to good-naturedly "trash talk" each other. Caroline said I had to "disguise my meatballs with gravy," and that her meatballs were going to "kick my meatballs' butts!" I literally couldn't think of any fake insults for her except, "A meatball without sauce? Who does that?" Then one of the Rachael Ray producers came up with a line I thought was pretty funny, "Caroline's as Italian as the Olive Garden." The idea was that since I was conceived in Italy and Italian is my first language, that I cook the traditional way. Caroline's family is Italian-American, like the Olive Garden, and that's how she cooks. I bake my meatballs in sauce; she fries her with no sauce. You can still see the actual quote on Rachael Ray's site. Caroline and I laughed throughout the show, it was really fun. It aired twice in May 2010 and Sept 2010.
Writing the introduction to Fabulicious! I talked about the Rachael Ray meatball challenge because I was including my meatball recipe for the first time. I made a lot of Olive Garden jokes in Skinny Italian, so it made sense to repeat the Caroline Olive Garden joke from Rachael Ray. But I explained that the joke was from the Rachael Ray show, and I immediately said that while I'm not a huge fan of the Olive Garden, "I am, however, a huge fan of Caroline Manzo." Even though it was already on national TV and out there for six months, I never heard a single word from Caroline about not liking that joke, so I thought it was OK. A couple months later, when the publisher asked if I wanted to put any friend pictures in my FAMILY cookbook, I said yes, just one. The very next page has a huge, full-color, gorgeous shot of me and Caroline at Audriana's christening. She's the only friend in my family cookbook. I did it to honor her. (I would be honored if someone put a pretty picture of me in their cookbook.) Underneath the picture, I wrote the caption: "Me with another famous Italian mom, Caroline Manzo." How much more clear can I be that I think she's Italian and fabulous and I love her?
As for "insulting" her kids? On page 13, I say Albie and Christopher Manzo are "adorable." The end.
Now in Chapter 2, my girls wanted to "take over" the cookbook and talk for themselves (which is really funny, especially Milania's part!). To introduce it (and to keep readers interested like I do throughout the book with my subtitles: KY-Not, Slapping the Salami, Knead Me...) I called the section: "Giudice Girls Gone Wild." I then said: "If you just thought about a certain practically pornographic video series, then shame on you! This is a family cookbook! Unlike some of the other Housewives, I do not condone young girls stripping to bring in business to a car wash, old ladies in hot pants climbing up a pole to bring their sexy back, or videotaping yourself in any state of undress at any time. I'm old-school." I was referring to all the crazy things other people did PUBLICLY on Season 2 that I don't want MY YOUNG DAUGHTERS doing. I'm not judging the adults for their choices. It's just not what I want for my girls. Yes, Christopher Manzo wanted to be an adult car wash king. Good for him. Mama Manzo was so proud. I don't have a boy. I don't know how I'd feel about it if my son wanted to do that. I only have daughters, and I'm sorry, I do not want them working at a strip car wash. If you're an adult and you do that, great. It's just not my goal for my kids. Kim G. and Danielle went to a stripper class. Good for them. I don't want my girls to do that. Jacqueline talked about Danielle's "sex tape," and how she had filmed herself in the past. I said on camera I never had, and again, it's not something I want my girls to do.There are little jokes at the beginning of the book to describe my crazy life, that's it. The majority of the book is a big love letter to my family (and the Manzos and Lauritas who I called my family on the first page) and lots of DELICIOUS recipes. My dishes are part of the Mediterranean diet, so they're healthy, inexpensive, easy to make, and reuse the same ingredients. (And I'm not just saying that, it got great reviews in Publisher's Weekly and lots of other places.)
Again, I dedicated it to my brother and his family, and I included beautiful pictures of all my in-laws and nieces and nephews, including Melissa and Joey and their kids. I never mentioned Melissa by name in any jokes; I actually have three younger sister-in-laws. It's a generic joke: little sisters copy big sisters. Big sisters don't always love it. I never mentioned Kathy or Richie by name, I have lots of cousins and most of them do tell bad jokes. I don't know why they assumed I was talking about them. I talk about my father, my father-in-law, my great-grandmother, my great-grandfather, my friends, my friends' kids, celebrities, even The Little Mermaid. Why they think they were singled out, I don't know.
You've watched us all for three years now make joke after joke on the show. We make fun of ourselves and we tease each other. No one does it more than the Manzos -- I think that's what makes them fun to watch. Last year the Manzos, Wakiles and Gorgas made fun of Skinny Italian, my intelligence, my kids, my swimsuits, my house, my voice, my husband, and a million other things. On national TV in front of millions of people. It's cool. I know they're jokes and I know they love me. That's how we ALL are. Why suddenly are my tiny jokes in my second cookbook only so upsetting to everyone? How come everyone laughs when Richie "jokes" that he would "burn that bitch on a stake" (meaning me), but my "jokes" are so over-the-line that everyone is upset? I don't get it.
The only other thing I want to address is my conversation on the beach with my brother.
I don't know if you have a brother or what you talk about, but we have always shared our concerns with each other. Whenever Joey has heard something around town about my husband, he's told me. I would never repeat it to my Joe, because there would be no point, it would just cause problems with my husband and my brother. And I know my brother is only telling me things out of love to protect me. That's what siblings do. You have private conversations. I have always done the same with Joey.So last spring I was hearing really nasty rumors around town about Melissa. They were shocking to me, because I'd never heard anything like them. But it's a small town and when you are suddenly on TV, people start saying things. I don't want people talking about him or his wife anywhere. I thought he should know and maybe he could stop them. We were not filming, I said it to him in confidence. I would never, ever want to repeat a rumor like that about any of my family members in public. That only hurts my family.
Fast forward to TWO MONTHS LATER when we're filming Season 4 on Memorial Day weekend. Out of the blue, Joey says to me remember when you said that about Melissa? I told her and she's mad at you. You can see the shock on my face. Why would you bring up a personal, private conversation on national TV? The only thing that's going to do is make his family look bad and his wife and me have problems again. I'm really trying, but I just don't understand. I'm so sorry he told Melissa, I'm sure it hurt her like it would hurt my husband if I told him. I guess I'm learning that our relationship might never be as close as it once was. I really love him and I miss him, and we used to talk like that our whole lives.
Thank you all so much for your love and support! I have the most amazing, wonderful, beautiful fans in the whole world! I love, love, love you all! You inspire me every day and have helped me grow. Thank you to Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Productions for believing in me and giving me an opportunity that has changed my life, I will be forever grateful.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — With all due respect to Warriors coach Mark Jackson and his view of basketball history, we have to pick a bit of a fight with him about the subjectivity of his ranking of the NBA's greatest shooting guards.
Jackson, no doubt celebrating the Hall of Fame induction of his good friend and former Indiana Pacers teammate, Reggie Miller (TNT's very own), went a bit overboard when he told the Indianapolis Star:
"When you take Michael Jordan and you take Kobe Bryant out of the discussion, he's as good as any two-guard that has ever played the game."
While I was lucky enough to witness some of Miller's best years with the Pacers and have a deep appreciation for what it takes to play at the level he did for so long, I'm not sure I can abide by Jackson's assessment when presented with the long list of distinguished shooting guards that have graced the game.
Let's see … (and these names are no particular order) George Gervin, Jerry West, Allen Iverson, Dwyane Wade, Clyde Drexler, Earl "The Pearl" Monroe, Ray Allen, Joe Dumars and "Pistol" Pete Maravich are names that certainly come to mind when the discussion turns to the top shooting guards of all time.
Miller is no doubt an all-time great and everything you'd ever want in a Hall of Famer.

A lawsuit filed by residents of the Soundview community of Montauk in January was amended last week to include information that purports to show that the Town of East Hampton bears a greater share of the blame than originally thought for the erosion that threatens over a dozen houses located west of the jetties.
The original suit names the town, county, Joe Martens, acting commissioiner of the State Department of Environmental Conservation, and Ruth Noemi Colon, acting commissioner of the State Department of State, as being responsible for extending the Montauk Harbor jetties, and in so doing causing serious erosion to the west of them.
Although the town was named in the original suit as the owner of the land on which the jetties sit, Jonathan Sinnreich, hired by the homeowners after a series of storms broke bulkheads, erased land, and undercut foundations, said on Tuesday that further research revealed the town played a far greater role in the jetties' construction than the other entities. And, he said it also revealed a broken promise to maintain the jetties and correct damage caused by them.
"What changed is this: When I first brought the lawsuit I knew the town owned the jetties technically, but I bought into the party line that they were really federal jetties, that the federal government was the main culprit. We intended to sue the federal government," Mr. Sinnreich said.
But after digging into town records, he said, he discovered that in 1936 the town applied to the federal government to restore Montauk Harbor's original jetties, which had fallen into disrepair. "The town applied to the fed to repair and enlarge the jetties because they wanted to build up the commercial fishing industry. It was not the Army Corps' idea," Mr. Sinnreich said.
Originally, the Army Corps of Engineers said no, but Town Supervisor Perry B. Duryea Sr. went to Washington, D.C., and lobbied. "Finally they gave in. They agreed but only with a bunch of conditions," Mr. Sinnreich said. "First, the town had to acquire ownership. The jetties were privately owned. Then, they had to convey an easement to the federal government, but the town has kept ownership to this day."
According to the Soundview residents' lawyer, the federal government also required the town to hold the government harmless should the construction and maintanence of the jetties cause any damage. The town agreed to that as well, he said. The town board authorized the supervisor to sign a written assurance.
"I'm not criticizing the town. East Hampton lobbied to help its fishermen, and took financial responsibility for it. I have no hostility. It's not about that, but this was not a project conceived by the federal government and imposed on the town."
Nonetheless, Mr. Sinnreich said residents intended to go after the federal, state, and county government, as well. The suit asks for $10 million to help repair and buttress their properties against future storms.
An emergency dredging of the Montauk Harbor Inlet in October is expected to produce sand to help rebuild beaches to the west of the jetties.
Reached yesterday, Supervisor Bill Wilkinson said he would not comment on the amended suit until he had a chance to read it and consult with the town attorneys. In the past, Mr. Wilkinson has said he was disappointed in the Soundview residents' litigious approach after his administration had worked hard to obtain the permits necessary for them to get erosion control structures in place.

Recording period between
Rock supergroups were a common occurrence, particularly in the '70s and '80s, with such bloated stadium outfits as Asia and ELP offering up blockbuster hits. The jazz supergroup, however, is not quite so common. One might expect the same dueling egos making muddled music. New Directions defies this expectation with a fresh, satisfying release. All the hottest young players on the jazz scene are in attendance, but no one grandstands. Instead they take on some less often played covers and a few fine originals. Particularly pleasing is their take on "The Sidewinder" and the good-humored "No Room for Squares."

Commission improves work-life balance for millions with longer and better maternity leave
Millions of women throughout Europe will be entitled to longer and better maternity leave under proposals unveiled today by the European Commission. A separate proposal would also improve the situation of self-employed women by providing equivalent access to maternity leave, on a voluntary basis. The two initiatives form part of a package of measures to improve work-life balance for all Europeans – both women and men. They aim to update and improve existing EU legislation and will now be sent to the European Parliament and national governments for discussion. Meanwhile, the European social partners have launched negotiations to improve other forms of family leave, such as parental leave.
"Juggling work, family and private life is a huge challenge for millions of Europeans, men and women," said Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, Vladimír Špidla. "But having children too often costs women their income and their job prospects. Only 65.5% of women with dependent children are in work, compared to 91.7% of men. Our proposals to improve maternity leave will help women to combine work and family life improving their and their family's quality of life. They should also help increase women's participation in the labour market and help face up to the challenges of demographic ageing: indeed countries with more women in employment also have higher birth rates."
Improved maternity leave
The Commission's proposal on maternity leave (revising the existing Directive 92/85/EEC from 1992) would increase the minimum period of leave from 14 to 18 weeks and recommend to pay women 100% of their salary but with a possibility for Member States to set a ceiling at the level of sick pay. In addition, women will have more flexibility over when to take the non-compulsory portion of their leave (before or after childbirth) and would thus no longer be obliged to take a specific portion of the leave before childbirth, as is presently the case in some Member States.
There will also be stronger protection against dismissal and a right to return to the same job or an equivalent one after maternity leave. Finally, a right to ask the employer for flexible working patterns after the end of maternity leave will be introduced although the employer will have the right to refuse this request.
More rights for self employed women
The proposal on self-employed women will provide equivalent access to maternity leave as for employees, but on a voluntary basis (replacing the existing Directive 86/613/EEC). At the same time, spouses and life partners (recognised as such in national law) who work on an informal basis in small family businesses such as a farm or a local doctor's practice (so-called 'assisting spouses') will have access, at their request, to social security coverage on at least an equal level of protection as formally self-employed workers.
Other work life balance provisions
As part of the same package, the Commission also issued a report today on the provision of childcare in the European Union and the performance of each Member State with regard to the targets set by EU leaders in Barcelona in 2002 (see IP/08/1449).
On 17 September 2008, the social partners at European level launched negotiations on parental leave with a view to revising the existing EU legislation (Directive 96/34/EC), itself based on a framework agreement concluded by European employers' and trade unions' representatives. The aim is to conclude negotiations within nine months.
In the longer term, the Commission would also like to improve other forms of family leave, such as paternity leave (a short period of leave for fathers around the time of the birth or adoption of a child), adoption leave (leave similar to maternity leave around the time of adoption of a child) and filial leave (to care for dependent family members).
Next steps
Both proposals will be discussed in co-decision procedure by the European Parliament and the Member States in the Council (qualified majority) and it is hoped that agreement will be reached during 2009. EU countries would then have two years to introduce the legislation into national law.

First of the Jacki Chan genre. Story line weak but the action is there even though it appears very staged. Appears to take on a Bruce Lee style of toughness but the embryo of the Jackie Chan style can be seen emerging in certain scenes.

Hell no, you wouldn't. But Tomahawk Take would. Of course they would.
The Astros are probably the best fit. They came to camp with Wandy Rodriguez, Brett Meyers, and 29 other pitchers hoping to fill the last three starting spots.The club is for sale and are in a major rebuilding period while trying not to spend any money so the payroll is small enough to be attractive to say Mark Cuban. They lost their arbitration case to Hunter Pence and are saddled with Carlos Lee's huge contract full of diminishing returns. The NL Central looks to be the Reds, Brewers and everyone else. KK would start every fifth day, keep the ball in the ballpark and put up ok numbers. Ideally we'd get Pence in return...
The Astros would save $600K and gain a pitcher. Maybe we throw in a Brent Cleven or other minor leaguer as well (not a ranked prospect) to make it sweeter.
Jeebus. The Cards don't even apparently have a prayer, and apparently J.A. Happ and Bud Norris aren't locks for the rotation.

Would you trade Hunter Pence for Kenshin Kawakami

Laughable trade proposal. This is like a fantasy player trying to get one over on another player not paying attention.

I'm trying to rotate a 4 dimensional point (w,x,y,z). So far I've been rotating around planes (wx,xy,yz,zw,wy, and xy), but the order in which I do these rotations changes the results and can sometimes result in gimbal lock.
I understand that quaternions are the solution to this problem in 3 dimensions, but can quaternions also do rotations in 4 dimensions and if so, how?

The Hope College Alcor chapter of Mortar Board has placed first in the national organization's "Virtual Book Drive" for the fourth consecutive year, raising funds to provide books to children nationally as well as locally.
The Hope College Alcor chapter of Mortar Board has placed first in the national organization's "Virtual Book Drive" for the fourth consecutive year, raising funds to provide books to children nationally as well as locally.
The chapter raised $13,493.50 in the July 30-November 16 drive, which the national Mortar Board organization held in conjunction with First Book, a national literacy nonprofit. The chapter also earned $1,250 in bonuses from First Book for raising the largest amount during each of month of the competition.
The Mortar Board Virtual Book Drive is a fundraising challenge in which chapters compete to raise funds in order to bring new books to local programs serving children from low-income families. The funds are available for use through the First Book Marketplace, where programs can choose from hundreds of high-quality titles at deeply discounted prices.
Of the total raised by the Hope chapter, approximately $12,000 will become credit for use by Jefferson Elementary School in Holland. The other approximately $2,500 of the funds will support the Children's After School Achievement (CASA) program, which is a community organization housed at Hope that provides academic and cultural enrichment for at-risk first- through fifth-grade students. The chapter also collected approximately 300 books that will be divided between Jefferson Elementary School and CASA, and members of the chapter will visit Jefferson for a reading day with the students.
Across the drive's four years, the Hope chapter has raised more than $37,000.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 229 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961. The chapter has received multiple awards at the Mortar Board National Conference during each of the past several years, including being named the top chapter during the national conference in July 2010. During the conference this year, the chapter received a "Golden Torch Award," 12 "Project Excellence" awards, and the second annual "First Book Award" for having been the top chapter in last year's national "Reading is Leading" Virtual Book Drive Challenge.

No time for funerals...
14 comments:
- Jogeshwar said...
A very heartrending post. Yes we should find time to honour the memory of those we have shared wonderful moments. During my last visit to the post office, I felt very sad on realising the postman who served us from the time I could remember was no more. He was very diligent and delivered post on his bicycle even in harsh weather. In school I was fond of collecting stamps, but little mail came to us, so I asked if he could help. He would ask the home owners if he could remove the stamps on the mail he delivered to them and cheerfully brought me many stamps of various countries. I would proudly show my collection to my classmates. He would keep giving more stamps every now and then. He never took any money for the extra help, even when my mother insisted. He would also never ask for any festival, if owners remembered to give money he would gladly accept it otherwise move on.
The notice put up at post office read about his death, his diligence, honesty and cheerfulness about the way he worked and reminded how he deliver mail even on holidays. So callous is our system, for some reason he always remained as an adhoc. His family is now struggling to make ends meet, they wont be getting any pension since he was adhoc. The society has requested the people to remember him and donate some money to his son's bank account. I brought this to the notice of my mother and decided to put some money in the account every now and then, in remembrance of his diligence.
I think the best way to overcome the guilt is to remember to the loved ones left behind whenever possible. A lot many people would attend the funeral but only a few make it a point to visit the family like the way they did before the tragedy.

Worst is when your own better half says "ohhhhh goshhhhh not that night shift again" and certainly this guilt trip!!! That's when it hits and time to say enough is enough!!! And time to say goodbye to such a shift. Although our profession as a nurse is perhaps one of the most challenging & rewarding job. Being there for others, specially near and dear are far from it. Recently I realized the sooner we change our over loaded activities the better! Being slave to unnecessary materialistic things and egos are worst! When I look back 20 years from now, everything was perfect and memorable and often I've told myself if that's how I want my future to be remembered I should just take a chill pill & sacrifice half of that time just to cook meals, do laundries,and relax/ meditate with the love ones!!! When I was in India I've never once attended funeral but the "ram ram sath hai" slogan really scares me while traveling! But now these things doesn't scare me anymore rather it gives me joy; thinking ohhh they're so lucky to finally depart from suffering & I can start everything over gain, after all we live our entire life believing and behaving properly to the law of karma. Birth and death are perhaps most important part of my culture. Specially, when I've came from family where our own great grandmother have born again in our own family as a grand child. Strange huh??? But this is the world we come from!!!!! All these are like ABC of our world! And then they are more strange things that if I go on you might STOP blogging from now on. LOL So I better stop here and hide all these secrets!!! :D I'm so glad that practically US made me so strong, including the profession that I picked! Now I've no fear or desire since everything had been seen or known. Except for more time to meditation, friends and family. Hopefully I'll start to follow this mantra by this summer! Always enjoy reading your thoughts; they reveal a lot about your joyful life! May I too gain this kind of joy when someday when I become "mother."

You sound very @nalimdutt if you know who he is,,,lol haha jk!!!
Jokes apart how thoughtful of you, specially when you have encouraged about the donations. That is something we should never forget no matter which funeral we attend. My mother judge people by the term people used for "donating" at funerals. Obviously we wouldn't dare say "oh I'm going to do some "charity." Unless if we want people to rofl behind us. Sadly, they are still people who embarrass themselves at such a emotional time!!! :)

And ya forget to add: avoid the term donation as well. In Tibetan we don't use these terms!!! :)

I find the "crying" business damn funny. No offense though. I mean, quietly tears rolling down the eyes seem ok but screaming and all that is bit too dramatic! Remind me of film "Rudali."

A lament and self-flagellation by the Gucchi Gucchi madame on not being able to pay her personal respects to Viren uncle. Why this hypocritical public display of 'remorse'.? If his friendship was so important to you then nothing stopped you from paying your respects to this most respected of our public figures. And the photo accompanying your display of lament, with 4 Hermes Divas feasting in some snooty little joint
just says it all. So so tasteless ( pun intended) !

shobha mem your article is very nice. really point to ponder over the tadition of india . it is not about the bravery of indian women to go for funeral and all that but the thing is that how can women express her grief . she can express it in which ever way she thinks fit . at present also you didnt find any indian family in which they permit women to go in shamshan . there is need to create awareness among people . nice effort ..

We all know the "assume = ass + u & me" definition.
It's very (very, very) easy to assume that I'm selling a crapload of ebooks because I'm a midlist author with some books in print and a fanbase.
It's easy to take that assumption further, and predict that an unknown wouldn't do as well.
Quite a few people are assuming this. They're claiming it as truth, repeating it, agreeing with it, and accepting it.
But it just ain't true.
The only ones who seem to disagree with this assumption are me, and the authors who know better.
These authors are selling just as well--or better--than I am, on kindle.
As far as I know, none of them have previous print deals, or name recognition. Yet they're kicking butt. Here are their current overall ranking out of 500,000+ ebooks available on Kindle:
Primal Wound by Ruth Francisco, ranked #688
Thin Blood by Vicki Tyley, ranked #14
Deed to Death by D.B. Henson, ranked #42
Toe Popper by Jonny Tangerine, ranked #1464
Kill & Cure by Steven Davison, ranked #72
The Shot to Die For by M.H. Sargent, ranked #231
The Elect by James Gilbert, ranked #756
Punctured by Rex Kusler, ranked #988
Final Price by J. Gregory Smith, ranked #3083
A Dirty Business by Joe Humphry, ranked #433
Moon Dance by J.R. Rain, ranked #52
Around Every Corner by Casey Moreton, ranked #3663
Defending Evil by Charles Shea, ranked #1469
The Bum Magnet by K.L. Brady ranked #836
Getting Rich by Steve Bensinger, ranked #838
Declaring Spinsterhood by Jamie Lynn Braziel, ranked #1580
Faking It by Elisa Lorello, ranked #365
Easily Amused by Karen McQuestion, ranked #290
Waiting For Spring by R.J. Keller, ranked #788
Escaping Celia by T.C. Beacham, ranked #909
Okay, there's twenty. It took me about three minutes to find these folks, simply by surfing Amazon.
Guess what? There are HUNDREDS more. I'd wager that at least one out of every ten books in the Amazon Top 10,000 is a self-pubbed author. But I'm not going to spend my afternoon cutting and pasting links to prove to the world something I already know.
See for yourself. Click on one of the above books, then click on the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" and see how many new authors you find.
Lots, right?
So if these authors don't have platforms, how are they selling so well?
Good cover, good product description, low price.
It doesn't take a well-read blog, a print backlist, and an established fanbase to sell a lot of ebooks.
Please tweet this. Link to this. And in the comments section, add links to more new authors in the Kindle Top 10,000. If you're one of those authors doing well, please post your book here. If you know a Kindle author selling well, point them to this blog so they can chime in.
And if you're one of those types who loves to gather data, I've got an offer for you. Email me a list of forty new authors in the top 10,000 on Kindle, and I'll send you a free signed paperback of my horror novel Afraid.
That'll take about 20 minutes of work, cutting and pasting. Double-check to make sure these are new authors with no backlist or major print deals. Then send me the list (or post it in the comments) and I'll snail mail you a book. Author name, title, and ranking. HTML links would be great too, but if you don't know how to do that, it's okay.
Let's kill this assumption that I'm the only one who can make money on Kindle.
How many sales does it take per day to be in the top 10,000? My guess is around 10 per day.
"But that's not good!" you might be saying.
Really? Ten a day = 3650 per year. At Amazon's new royalty rate, that's $7300 per year on a single title. The average advance for a debut novelist in print is still $5000.
I'm selling 220 ebooks per day, and I'll make over $100,000 this year. But that's for 15 titles (soon to be 17).
Ten a day can add up rather dramatically...

2009 award – E1 Renovations / Additions under $99,000
The main goal of this renovation was to transform a standard builder's town home in the downtown area into an urban chic, loft like condo.
We started the transformation by removing a load bearing wall between the dining room and kitchen, which opened up the 430 sq.ft. floor plan. By doing this, the kitchen became part of the living space and added to the open, loft like style.
Ducts and a beam were hidden ina cured bulkhead where the partition used to be. The vertical ducts and plumbing, also located in the partition, were re-located to the outside wall and we created a chase that incorporated niches and storage – creating a design feature, rather than an eye sore.
The standard oak railing and carpeted stairs were replaced with wood treads and a beautiful, sleek, stainless steel/glass panel railing. This feature added to the over detaiing by removing the visual clutter.
The existing fireplace remained but was refinished and built up to the ceiling. Clad with grey 12x24 tile, vertically staggered added to the illusion of height and created a focal point. The self-supporting assymetrical mantels, in black gloss laminate add an unexpected detail. The fireplace, clad in a similar finish as the kitchen now created a beautiful focal point and balanced the visually strong, impacting design of the kitchen at the opposite end of the unit.
The kitchen was transformed into a beautiful space to cook and entertain in. Now open to the living/dining room, this space needed drama and detail. We combined high gloss black laminate and frosted glass cabinets, a grey, concrete like quartz, a large stainless steel apron sink and a full height appliance garage. The size of the kitchen was a challenge but with creative detailing, not only became a functional space but visually – something to look at.
From one end to the other, every detail added to the overall success of this renovation. Our clients are extremely happy and wow their friends and family whenever they entertain! What more could one ask for?

Featured Genealogy Database today is LIST OF PASSENGERS FROM THE BALEARIC ISLANDS TO FLORIDA IN 1768 (MINORCA AND MAJORCA)
This wonderful database was published on Olive Tree Genealogy website thanks to Researcher & Contributor Lucie Servole Myers who donated her work for publication.
The Turnbull venture: On March 31, 1768, a fleet consisting of the below-mentioned eight ships left Mahon, Minorca with over 1400 passengers. The fleet arrived in Gibraltar on April 3, 1768, then left Gibraltar on April 17, 1768. Of the 1403 passengers who had left Gibraltar, only 1,255 managed to reach the coast of East Florida as 148 of them perished on the high seas. Three children were born at sea: Eulalia Elquina (Alzina); Antonia Arnau; and Benito Buenaventura (unknown parents).
Four of the ships which carried some 700 immigrants, arrived in St. Augustine, Florida on June 26, 1768. The other four vessels had been carried off course by strong currents, but they eventually reached St. Augustine little by little, arriving one after the other, during the month of July, 1768.
Lucie has carefully extracted the names of passengers using a variety of sources.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State swimmer Shane Ryan (Havertown, Pa.) has accepted an invitation from USA Swimming to represent his country in the Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool. Ryan and Team USA will go head-to-head with the European All-Starts in Glasgow, Scotland on Dec. 20 and 21.
"I am really excited that I will be going to Scotland in December to swim internationally for Team USA," said Ryan. "I am so honored that they picked me to go against Team Europe this year. This will be a great experience as well for me to show that Penn State has a great swimming program."
The sophomore swimmer was selected based on his performances at the 2013 World Championship Trials held in Indianapolis, Ind. this past June. At the trials, Ryan placed third in the 50-meter backstroke with a time of 54.89 and fourth in the 100-meter backstroke, finishing in 53.84. The Havertown, Pa. native discussed the process of being selected to the prestigious event.
"A week before I got the email asking me to go to Duel in the Pool, I saw on USA Swimming's website about a meet in Scotland," said Ryan. "I thought to myself, that would be really cool if I could go on a trip to Scotland because I have family in Ireland and they could come over to see me swim. Shortly after, I got an email saying that I had been selected to represent the U.S. in Glasgow, Scotland. I could not believe it."
Ryan broke onto the scene last season for the Nittany Lions during his freshman campaign, producing a Penn State season top three time in the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke. Ryan hit reached the NCAA "B" qualifying standard in each of the three events.
The two-day, short-course meet will be contested at the Tollcross International Swimming Centre, site of the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Day one of the meet is slated for 2 p.m. ET on Friday, Dec. 21, followed by the conclusion of the meet at 9 a.m. ET on Saturday, Dec. 21. Footage from the meet will be televised by NBC as part of a two-hour show on Sunday, Dec. 22. The show will air from 4-6 p.m. ET.
The U.S. team will be comprised of the swimmers who posted the top qualifying time in each Olympic event at the 2013 FINA World Championships, 2013 World University Games or 2013 U.S. Open. The top two swimmers in the 100m and 200m freestyles at these three events qualify for the roster, which may feature a maximum of 22 men and 22 women.
Swimmers can compete in a maximum of six events (individual and relays), and each team may enter up to four swimmers per individual event and one relay. A running score will be kept combining the points earned by both women and men to determine the winning team.
The Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool is a made-for-television event, designed to showcase the sport's most exciting swimmers in a short-course meters format. This year's event will be the sixth Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool in the history of USA Swimming, with past Duels held in 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011. The U.S. is undefeated and holds a 5-0 record in the history of the Mutual of Omaha Duel in the Pool.

- Less paper. Apply for your IFTA and IRP credentials electronically - in minutes. No more lengthy paper applications.
- Convenience. Choose your credential delivery option: mail, express mail, email for certain transactions, or same day pick up at a DMV customer service center.
- More uptime. Whether you manage a small shop or a large fleet, you know the importance of keeping rigs on the road. Maximize your time by having IRP plates, IFTA decals and titles mailed to you.
- Flexibility. Whether in your office or on the road, initiate registration transactions and file and pay your quarterly taxes from any place you have Internet access - any time you have time.
