Gardner shows off its graceful update
When leaders of the 109-year-old Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum unveiled its $114 million addition yesterday, they did so with an eye toward the past.
On a January evening in 1903, Isabella Stewart Gardner opened her new museum in grand fashion, with a concert, a courtyard filled with flowers, and priceless art all around. Yesterday, at the official unveiling of the Gardner's $114 million expansion, the spirit of the glamorous socialite who once lived on the fourth floor of the original palazzo museum seemed to hover over the proceedings.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum gave the media a preview yesterday.

"It wasn't an easy job'' coming up with an expansion worthy of the museum's original benefactor, said architect Renzo Piano. "You cannot compete with magic. What we did was not about becoming bigger. It's about saving the palace.''
The Gardner's $118 million renovation - melding the new $114 million, 70,000-square-foot addition with the old but extensively refurbished museum - comes near the end of a massive, decade-long museum building boom in the Boston area. It has included expansions of the Museum of Fine Arts and Peabody Essex Museum, and the construction of a new Institute of Contemporary Art. The Harvard Art Museums are undergoing a massive renovation, expected to be completed by 2013.
What's different about the Gardner project is its connection to the singular force known as its founder. So strong was Gardner's vision of this house-museum that her will stipulated it remain virtually unchanged after her death. The museum had to seek approval from government boards and regulators to create a new building because of restrictions outlined in the will; the original museum remains little changed.
Normally, when a museum expands, talk centers on the glittering new construction. But yesterday, many spoke of the legacy of Gardner, who counted artist John Singer Sargent and writer Henry James among her friends.
Gardner Museum director Anne Hawley referred to the project as a "preservation.'' She said Gardner herself never anticipated that the museum would grow to the point that roughly 200,000 visitors would stream in each year. That influx created stress on the palace and also made it hard for the museum to expand its programs. The new glass-and-copper-clad building, connected to the palace through a 50-foot-long glass passageway, should solve those problems.
The space includes a music hall, greenhouse, gallery, gift shop, restaurant, and expanded room for educational programs. The building will serve as the Gardner's new entrance, with visitors entering the palace through the glass walkway.
The opening will bring increased expectations. Hawley said the museum projects attendance increasing to 250,000 people per year and adding 3,500 members to the current 4,000.
Dan Monroe, director of the Peabody Essex Museum, praised Hawley and her board.
"People tend to think of the Gardner in a certain way as this specialized gem, and expanding that, and giving themselves a bigger platform by which to work, posed some very distinctive challenges,'' he said.
MFA director Malcolm Rogers said he was thrilled to see the Gardner open the Piano wing.
"It's invigorating to see one of Boston's greatest institutions reinventing in an exciting way and contributing so much to the vitality of Boston and our neighborhood as a cultural center,'' he said.
Yesterday's events, offered to the media, marked the start of 10 intense days that will include special unveilings for donors and trustees and performances by, among others, cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
The Gardner, which has been closed to the public since November, will open the new space and reopen the refurbished palazzo to the public Jan. 19.
Touring the new space, Hawley admitted her nerves were shot.
"There are just so many moving parts,'' she said. "Some wiring still hasn't been done.''
Still, it was hard to see any of the unfinished work yesterday morning. Curators offered thoughts on the new spaces and those that had been renovated within the palace, particularly the tapestry room. For years, that space had been filled with chairs, so that the Gardner could hold its popular music series.
Yesterday the restored room featured newly cleaned floor tiles; a long, rectangular table with silver candle-holders; and new lighting. Across the passageway, in the museum's new music hall, A Far Cry, the Gardner's resident, held an open rehearsal.
"It's a miracle it's so good,'' Hawley said of the complete project. "It's better than I thought it would be.''
Which is not to say it was a stress-free march to the finish line. Piano, she said, is very detail-oriented and doesn't hesitate to make changes. For example, he had the newly built coat room ripped out a month ago because he felt it did not look right. Workers put their finishing touches on the redesigned coatroom Tuesday. Piano also had an elevator door changed from green to gray.
"Renzo,'' she joked, "will be drawing until you take the pencil away from him.''
Reflecting on the project, Hawley also admitted feeling mixed emotion to see the work coming to an end. She noted the presence of Piano and so many others connected with the project.
"There's a sadness that this incredible group, this team we've been living with, will be going away,'' she said.
That sense of melancholy did not shade yesterday's proceedings. Observers raved about the building, citing the way it connects to the existing palace. The palace can be seen through so many windows in the new wing, in the gallery, in the café, from the central stairway, and in the "living room,'' a space designed as a kind of lounge.
In turn, the restored tapestry room now includes a direct shot of the new building. In the past, the windows in that space, used for music performances, were covered up.
"Wherever you are in the building, we have a view back to the palace,'' said artist Lee Mingwei. "I don't think I've ever experienced anything like this, where the contemporary and historical are so close.''
Barbara Hostetter, president of the museum's board of trustees, spoke of Gardner's legacy in prepared remarks and highlighted the "simple and elegant'' passageway linking the old and new spaces. She also talked of the next phase of the expansion: living with the building.
"How does the lobby look in the muted light of a snowy evening,'' she said. "How does it sound when alive with crowds of visitors? Which balcony will be the favorite? What is it like to ascend that magical staircase in the morning? In the evening? And how does the building aid the museum's work?''

Coming Sunday, a special magazine section takes a look at the new Gardner with interactive graphics, videos, galleries, and more.

Harris County clerk Stan Stanart says he has adequately addressed any potential voting problems by matching Harris County's voting rolls against a Department of Public Safety database. Voters whose names appear slightly differently on their voter registration and their driver's licenses were advised how to update their voter registration cards on his website. Also, he said election judges will have an "election day poll book" that includes DPS information (including addresses and birthdates). That information will clear up discrepancies and permit voters with slightly dissimilar names on the two documents to cast their ballots, Stanart said.
Democratic Harris County Senators Rodney Ellis, John Whitmire and Sylvia Garcia today renewed their request to Harris County Clerk Stan Stanart that he reach out to voters whose names may appear slightly different on official voting rolls than their photo identification, and allow them to correct any errors.
The three wrote a similar letter last October, and Stanart responded that he had sent letters to voters with discrepancies, advising them of the voter ID law. Tuesday's appeal urged Stanart to follow the example of Dallas County, where officials sent a form allowing voters to correct any errors on their voter registration cards.
In the letter, the three lawmakers note that the new "voter identification law requires that a voter's name on their photo identification exactly match the name on the voter registration list."
If the names do not match exactly, but are substantially similar, the voter may fill out an affidavit and be allowed to vote. If the names are subjectively determined to not be substantially similar, the voter will have to vote provisionally. Although these requirements will have an impact on all voters, we are concerned that women may be disproportionately affected because some may have opted for multiple names changes according to marital status. We think it would be prudent to keep the subjective guesswork out of the voting process and proactively address potential problems voters may face."
In Dallas County, officials recently identified 200,000 voters with name discrepancies in official records, the senators said, and mailed out notices advising those voters to correct any errors or differences between the information on their photo ID and voter registration record.
We suggest you start with the same identification process and also cross reference voters who may lack acceptable voter identification at all. As you may recall, we requested similar action from your office in a letter dated October 4, 2013. With a county as large as Harris County, there is no reason why we should not be able to take the same proactive measures to ensure that our constituents' constitutional right to vote is adequately protected.We encourage you to do all you can to ensure that all who are eligible to vote are able to.
In a written statement, Ellis said, "I hope that Mr. Stanart understands that protecting the constitutional right to vote is essential to our democratic elections and takes all the steps he can to ensure that our constituents who are eligible to vote are able to do so." Added Garcia: "The right to vote should never be taken lightly. We need to work toward improving access to the ballot box and protecting the right to vote. Turning people away due to an unintentional name discrepancy or misinterpretation of the law, goes against basic democratic principles we all cherish. I urge Mr. Stanart to do everything possible to ensure everyone's constitutional right is protected."
Whitmire said said it was important to "increase voter turnout in our elections. I urge Mr. Stanart to use all necessary means to assist the voters in Harris County in correcting any discrepancies in their voter registration."

With Apple officially sharing the details of its new App Store subscription plan, which lays the groundwork for Apple to take a 30-percent cut from publishers who sell content within their apps, we were waiting for some reaction from content providers. Well, one, Rhapsody, has finally braved Apple's wrath and issued a statement saying Apple's new arrangement was "economically untenable." And while it didn't threaten legal action, it certainly hinted at it.
Here's the full statement from Rhapsody's President, Jon Irwin:
Rhapsody is the leading digital music subscription service in the U.S.,with 750,000 subscribers. Music fans can access the service using free apps from any Internet-connected device, be it on an Android, Sonos, Tivo, BlackBerry, iOS or personal computer. Today, Rhapsody subscriptions are available for purchase exclusively via Rhapsody.com.
Rhapsody offers a content-based subscription service that makes millions of tracks available to fans pursuant to longstanding partnerships with thousands of rights holders, all of which then distribute revenues to artists and other creators.
Our philosophy is simple too--an Apple-imposed arrangement that requires us to pay 30 percent of our revenue to Apple, in addition to content fees that we pay to the music labels, publishers and artists, is economically untenable. The bottom line is we would not be able to offer our service through the iTunes store if subjected to Apple's 30 percent monthly fee vs. a typical 2.5 percent credit card fee.
We will continue to allow consumers to sign up at www.rhapsody.com from a smartphone or any other Internet access point, including the Safari browser on the iPhone and iPad. In the meantime, we will be collaborating with our market peers in determining an appropriate legal and business response to this latest development.
While Apple is reportedly giving publishers and content sellers several months (June 30) to remove any links within their apps to outside-the-App Store purchasing options, a major battle is brewing and it remains unclear just what heavyweights such as Netflix, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon, which has sold millions of e-books via its iPad and iPhone apps, will do. Under the new rules, it appears that Amazon will be forced to sell those e-books directly from the app, with Apple taking its 30 percent royalty.
For iPad-centric publications like the recently launched The Daily, Apple's 30 percent is baked into the business plan. But this probably doesn't work for many content sellers that can't afford to have those percentages skimmed off sales. Whether there's a viable workaround for companies or whether this is a negotiating tactic by Apple is unclear. But eventually this may develop into a game of chicken, with companies threatening to pull their apps from the App Store and initiate legal action while Apple continues to flex its muscles and demand what it feels is its proper due for creating a huge market. According to law professors interviewed for a Wall Street Journal article, Apple's new subscription service could draw antitrust scrutiny.
As we said, Rhapsody hasn't quite played the pull-out card yet, but it seems to be moving in that direction. Should make for an interesting few months and I'm sure we'll be writing a lot more about this growing tussle as we get closer to June.

Warren Moon wasn't selected in the 1978 NFL draft and had to spend six years dominating the Canadian Football League before any NFL team would give him a chance to be the Hall of Fame quarterback he eventually became. It's hard to view the NFL's snubbing of Moon in the 70s and 80s as anything other than racism.
But while the NFL has made some progress on that front, Moon doesn't think that progress has been sufficient: Moon told USA Today that he believes black quarterbacks are still held back by evaluators who view them unfairly.
Specifically, Moon noted that West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was the subject of a scathing assessment that in Moon's opinion crossed the line
"It sounds the same as two years ago," Moon said. "It just shows that there are a lot of people in society who have the biases and stereotypes. And most of it is about your integrity or leadership or work ethic — all of these intangible things."
Even 35 years after he was passed over in the draft, Moon still thinks the NFL has a long way to go.

Why See The Avett Brothers?
Bluegrass Icons
The Avett Brothers are a non-traditional bluegrass band that originated in the early 2000s in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth and Scott Avett, formed the group after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding two new members - Bob Crawford on double bass and Joe Kwon on cello. The bad.
Their sound is a refreshingly eclectic blend of traditional instruments - banjos, cello, double bass, and piano to name the most frequently heard sounds - played by true musicians with open and honest lyrics written from the heart. The Avett Brothers have managed to find their fit in between bluegrass and folk-rock genres, a place that makes them as at home at a small music festival as they are on an urban concert stage. Of their eight studio albums, the latest two have gained the band the highest positions on Billboard Charts in the US - with 2012's The Carpenter reaching Number Four and its 2013 follow-up, Magpie and the Dandelion, reaching Number Five.

Each software release from ISC has a version code that identifies it. The version code contains the architecture number, the major release number, and the minor release number.
For example, BIND 9.10.1 is:
- Major Release 10
- Minor Release 1
Minor releases fall into 2 categories:
Security Releases
Generally consist of the absolute minimum necessary change from the previous release, making it easier for users to upgrade quickly, as security releases are usually time critical.
Roll-up Bugfix Releases
Include whatever bugfixes have accumulated since the last release, and can include a large number of changes. Most of these changes are usually relatively small, but the volume of new code in a roll-up bugfix release is generally much larger than in a security release. We also reserve the right to include some minor features in point releases (e.g. 9.9.5 for BIND or 4.3.1 for DHCP).
Many organizations that use ISC code have internal rules about how often they can upgrade to new releases from vendors, so unscheduled releases are problematic. To avoid unscheduled releases, ISC calls security releases "patch" versions. Version numbers for patched releases include the conventional three-part version number with an appended patch number. Thus, the first security patch to DHCP 4.2.1 is numbered DHCP 4.2.1-P1.
Security patches are made available both as patches and also as integrated release packages. Security patches will generally be the minimal change necessary to fix the security problem, so that users whose code vetting process requires them to read every new or changed line of code will be able to incorporate security-related bugfixes quickly.
Roll-up bugfix releases are issued periodically as numbered minor releases. Such releases include any security patches since the previous full release. For example, BIND 9.10.1 would include whatever patches were in BIND 9.10.0-P1.
ISC also has Extended Support Version (ESV) versions of software, for companies who need longer change management time frames than our standard release schedule offers.
Other abbreviations used at ISC:
- Release Candidate (rc)
- Beta (b)
- Alpha (a)
- Windows Specific (w)
- Subscription Releases (access limited to subscribers) (S)
Explanation of Version Status
|Software is under active development, pre-production alphas, betas and release candidates. Recommended for Testing Environments only.
|Extended Supported Version. Use the software for Production Environments needing infrequent upgrades and no new features.
|The software is current and its use is recommended for Production
|Bug and security fixes will be issued when appropriate, soon to be EOL
|End of life: critical security fixes may be issued if recently EOL'd
|The software is not supported by ISC. Do not use this version.

text: WASDE: Wheat Production Up Due to Higher Yields July 11, 2013 06:05 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By AgWeb.com Editors Email WHEAT: Projected U.S. wheat supplies for 2013/14 are raised slightly this month with lower beginning stocks more than offset by higher production, both based on the latest survey-based estimates and forecasts. Beginning stocks are reduced 27 million bushels as indicated by the June 1 stocks estimate reported in the June 28 Grain Stocks. Production is forecast up 34 million bushels with lower forecast harvested area from the June 28 Acreage report more than offset by higher yields. Production is raised 11 million bushels for Hard Red Winter and 30 million bushels for Soft Red Winter (SRW) wheat. White Winter wheat is forecast down 7 million bushels. For durum, a reduction in area is only partly offset by a higher yield with production forecast down 5 million bushels. For other spring wheat, a reduction in area is more than offset by a higher yield forecast in today's Crop Production report, adding 4 million bushels to this month's production forecast. July survey-based yield forecasts for durum and other spring wheat are up 1.6 bushels per acre from last month's trend based projections. Total U.S. wheat use for 2013/14 is raised 89 million bushels as lower expected domestic use is more than offset by higher projected exports. Projected feed and residual disappearance is lowered 10 million bushels with stronger export demand, especially for SRW wheat. Exports are projected 100 million bushels higher reflecting strong sales, particularly to China. Ending stocks are projected down 83 million bushels. At 576 million tons, stocks are expected to remain well above the 60-year low of 306 million in 2007/08. The projected range for the 2013/14 season-average farm price is raised 20 cents on both ends to $6.45 to $7.75 per bushel. At the $7.20-per-bushel midpoint, this would be down from the record $7.77 per bushel reported for 2012/13. Global wheat supplies for 2013/14 are lowered 3.5 million tons reflecting lower projected beginning stocks as world production rises 1.9 million tons. Higher 2012/13 feed use in China accounts for most of the reduction in beginning stocks with smaller increases in domestic consumption for Pakistan, Russia, and Iran adding to the decline in 2012/13 global carryout. World production for 2013/14 is raised with increases for Australia, the European Union, and the United States offsetting a reduction for Kazakhstan. Australia production is raised 1.0 million acres reflecting the latest government estimates for area and a slightly higher yield outlook as early season conditions have been especially favorable in the country's southern and eastern growing areas. Production for the European Union is raised 1.2 million tons, however, the addition of Croatia accounts for most of the increase. Higher production prospects for Romania, Hungary, United Kingdom, and several smaller countries outweigh reductions for France, Ireland, and Spain. Production is lowered 0.5 million tons for Kazakhstan with lower planted area reported by the Ministry of Agriculture. Global wheat consumption for 2013/14 is raised 5.4 million tons mostly reflecting higher expected feeding in China. Wheat consumption is also raised for India, Pakistan, Iran, and Japan, offsetting reductions for the European Union and the United States. Global wheat trade is raised with a 5.0-million-ton increase in China imports. A 0.5-million-ton increase in imports for Iran is offset by the same size reduction for the European Union. World exports are raised 5.0 million tons with increases for Australia, the European Union, and the United States. Exports are lowered for India and Kazakhstan. World ending stocks for 2013/14 are projected 8.9 million tons lower. At 172.4 million tons, stocks would be the lowest since 2008/09, but well above the 128.8 million in 2007/08. ..................................

A local man wound up in handcuffs on Friday after a violent confrontation on an East Hampton Town road with a 22-year-old Sag Harbor woman.
According to town police, Kassandra Schellinger, a nursing school student, was driving home from school on Friday in her 2005 Jeep, northbound on Route 114 near Hardscrabble Close, when she noticed she was being tailgated by a red Dodge pickup truck. As she entered a 30-mile-per-hour zone she slowed down.
Russell Daub, 53, of East Hampton, the driver of the truck, suddenly whipped it onto the shoulder, passed Ms. Schellinger, cut her off, and slammed on his brakes, according to two witnesses. Ms. Schellinger hit her brakes and came to a stop to avoid contact with the truck, at which point Mr. Daub allegedly threw it into reverse and slammed into the front end of the Jeep.
Mr. Daub got out of the truck and approached Ms. Schellinger, shouting. She pulled out her cellphone and called the police.
Police said this was not the first time Mr. Daub has used a vehicle as a weapon. In August 2010, he was arrested in East Hampton Village in an almost identical incident, in which an officer actually saw him back his vehicle into a 2007 Scion. The officer drove his police car between the two vehicles to stop Mr. Daub, who had apparently become enraged when the Scion passed him and had collided with it as he tried to cut it off, from attacking again.
When the driver of the Scion, a man from Peekskill, N.Y., pulled onto the shoulder to check the damage, Mr. Daub rammed his car from behind, according to the report. He then drove around the Scion, stopped, and reversed right toward the other driver, who ran into the middle of Montauk Highway to avoid being hit.
Mr. Daub was arrested at that time on multiple charges, including two felonies. Bail was set by Justice Lisa Rana at $25,000. Mr. Daub was later allowed to plead down to lesser charges.
He appeared in court on Saturday, represented by Stephen A. Grossman, again in front of Justice Rana. This time he faces two misdemeanor charges, criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.
Mr. Grossman told the court on Saturday that Mr. Daub suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder. Justice Rana asked whether he was a veteran.
Mr. Grossman said he was not, but that "I know he has serious problems. He is on medication."
Mr. Daub told the court he was in treatment for his condition, once a month. "They want to terminate me," he said.
Justice Rana said that would not be a good idea, and urged him to find treatment immediately. Then, citing his longtime ties to the community, she released him without bail. He is scheduled to return to court today.

DENVER (Reuters) - The farming and ranching town of Deer Trail, Colorado, which boasts that it held the world's first rodeo in 1869, is now considering starting a 21st century tradition - paying bounties to anyone who shoots down an unmanned drone.
Next month, trustees of the town of 600 that lies on the high plains 55 miles east of Denver will debate an ordinance that would allow residents to purchase a $25 hunting license to shoot down "unmanned aerial vehicles."
Similar to the bounties governments once paid to hunters who killed animals that preyed on livestock, but only after they produced the ears, the town would pay $100 to anyone who can produce the fuselage and tail of a downed drone.
"Either the nose or tail may be damaged, but not both," the proposal notes.
The measure was crafted by resident Phillip Steel, a 48-year-old Army veteran with a master's degree in business administration, who acknowledges the whimsical nature of his proposal.
But the expansion of drones for commercial and government use is alarming, he said.
"We don't want to become a surveillance society," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.
He said he has not seen any drones, but that "some local ranchers" outside the town limits have seen them.
Under the proposal, hunters could legally shoot down a drone flying under 1,000 feet with a 12-gauge or smaller shotgun.
The town also would be required to establish a drone "recognition program" for shooters to properly identify the targeted aircraft.
"In no case shall a citizen engage an obviously manned aerial vehicle," the draft proposal reads.
Steel said that if the town trustees don't vote to adopt the ordinance, it will go before voters in a special election.
"Yes, it is tongue-in-cheek, but I'm going to vote for it," said Dorothy Pisel, one of the town's trustees. "It could benefit the town with all the publicity."
Steel acknowledges his idea is symbolic but he hopes it will curtail the use of drones over the 1.1-square mile burg.
"If you don't want your drone to go down, don't fly it in town," he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration did not immediately have a comment.

I have 3 kids, all with very different tastes, all living in a very small space. This = DISORGANIZED MAYHEM when it comes to toys. I have tried large toy buckets, bookshelves with baskets, etc. NOTHING works when there is a little guy whose favorite pastime is dumping things out all over the floor (this also include laundry – which is NEVERENDING).
I am at the point where I just want to throw everything away and start over from scratch, but obviously I can't do that until I win the lotto. So, in the meantime, I welcome any suggestions on how you handle the craziness that is having multiple children, toys and general clutter! Please help me!!!

The long-awaited auction of 4G licenses has finally begun, with seven bidders competing to acquire new capacity in the 800MHz and 2.6GHz spectrum bands.
Alongside the usual suspects – EE, O2, Vodafone and Three – there are three additional bidders. These are HKT UK (a subsidiary of Chinese holding company PCCW, which owns UK Broadband), MLL Telecom, and Niche Spectrum Ventures (a subsidiary of BT).
The new spectrum will almost double the amount of airwaves currently available for mobile broadband services on smartphones, tablets and laptops, according to Ofcom.
As revealed in December, the licenses have been packaged into 28 lots across three different types of spectrum.
In the 800MHz band there are five lots in total. Four of those are for 5MHz paired spectrum (2x5MHz) and one is for 10MHz paired spectrum (2x10MHz). The 10MHz lot comes with an obligation to provide at least 98% indoor coverage throughout the UK by the end of 2017.
In the 2.6GHz band there are 14 lots of 5MHz paired spectrum (2x5MHz) as well as nine lots of 5MHz unpaired spectrum. There is also an additional 10 lots in the 2.6GHz band that can be bid for on a low power concurrent basis, meaning that bidders can share the spectrum with other low power users.
Although each lot has a reserve price, most bidders are interested in combinations of lots, and the amount that bidders are willing to pay for each individual lot will vary depending on what it is combined with.
Bids are being placed online over secure connections, using software that has been developed specifically for the auction. The bidding will continue over several rounds and is expected to take a number of weeks until the final winners are known.
No updates on bidding activity will be provided until the conclusion of the auction. Due to the nature of the auction, this information must remain confidential until the auction concludes to reduce any potential risk of strategic bidding which could distort the outcome.
Once fees are paid, licences will be granted, enabling operators to start rolling out new networks. It is expected that services will be launched by a range of providers from late spring 2013.
"We expect to see some intensive bidding over the next few weeks as the networks scramble to secure vital capacity to launch 4G services," said Kester Mann, senior analyst at CCS Insight.
"In particular, the sale of spectrum in the 800 MHz band suitable for wide-area coverage will be hotly disputed. But the process won't be straightforward – the blind bids used in the auction mean there are more than 3,000 potential outcomes."
Mann added: "EE will have enjoyed a six- to eight-month head-start by the time its rivals launch 4G services, probably in May or June. However, its failure to focus on innovative services rather than simply speed could allow new players to quickly close the gap."
EE announced yesterday that it is cutting the price of its basic 4G service – which includes unlimited UK calls and texts and 500MB of mobile data – from £36 to £31 a month for a 24-month contract. This has widely been interpreted as a response to consumer pressure.
According to recent research carried out by YouGov on behalf of Virgin Media Business, cost remains the main reason that consumers change their mobile phone provider, with only 10 percent citing the speed benefits of 4G as a reason to switch.
Commenting on the auction, Anukool Lakhina, Founder and CEO of Big Data analytics company Guavus said that operators need to think about the real-world value of the contracts they are pitching for.
"It's easy to get carried away with the possibilities that 4G can open up; but operators need to look at the actual returns that they can expect to generate," he said, adding that many operators ended up overpaying for 3G licenses.
The 4G auction was originally supposed to take place in 2008, but a legal challenge by T-Mobile and O2 delayed the process. The auction has since been repeatedly set back, as Ofcom has tried to devise a strategy for distributing spectrum without giving any network operator an unfair advantage.
Last year Labour's shadow minister for media, Helen Goodman, has slammed the government's handling of the 4G spectrum auction, claiming that repeated delays were costing the taxpayer hundreds of millions of pounds in lost revenue each year.

Cooking the fish in olive oil makes it amazingly moist.
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- Active Time
- 35 minutes
- Total Time
- 50 minutes
- Chive oil:
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Swordfish and corn:
- 5 medium ears of white corn, husked
- 4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 4 peeled garlic cloves; 2 crushed, 2 minced
- 1 large fresh rosemary sprig
- 4 6-ounce swordfish steaks
- 1 cup 1/3-inch cubes guanciale or pancetta (Italian bacon)
- 1 tablespoon minced shallot
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Fine sea salt
- Ingredient info: Guanciale (salt-cured pork jowl) is available at specialty foods stores and from zingermans.com. Pancetta (Italian bacon) makes a good substitute.
- For chive oil:
- Combine oil and chives in blender and puree until smooth. Season chive oil to taste with salt and pepper.
- For swordfish and corn:
- Cook corn in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 8 minutes. Using tongs, remove corn from cooking liquid. Place on plate; reserve 1/2 cup corn cooking liquid. Cut corn kernels from cobs and reserve 4 cups (save remaining corn for another use).
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine oil, lemon, crushed garlic, and rosemary in medium ovenproof pot. Attach deep-fry thermometer to side of pot; heat oil to 150°F. Carefully lower swordfish into oil. Transfer pot to oven; poach fish uncovered until just firm to touch, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add guanciale; sauté until almost crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and shallot; sauté until soft but not brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in reserved 4 cups corn and crushed red pepper. Add butter and 2 tablespoons reserved corn cooking liquid; stir until mixture is moist and creamy, adding more cooking liquid by tablespoonfuls if dry, about 5 minutes. Stir in chives and thyme. Season with sea salt and pepper.
- Divide corn among 4 shallow bowls. Top each with swordfish steak. Sprinkle with sea salt; drizzle with chive oil.
- What to drink:
- An aromatic, medium-bodied white—like the Alois Lageder 2009 "Vogelmaier" Moscato Giallo (Italy, $29)— would be perfect.

On March 11, 2009, the Black Law Student Association (BLSA) Chapter of William S. Richardson School of Law (WSRSL) at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa held its 3rd Annual BBQ/Southern Food Cook-off Competition.
First-place winner Chris Santos, a third-year law student, won with his famous ribs. Second-year law student Lahela Hite took second place with her pecan pie. Each received a 7-piece cookware set as a prize.
Purpose of the fundraiser was to raise money to send a team to the National Black Law Student Association's (NBLSA) International Negotiations Competition in Irvine, Calif., from March 18 -22, 2009.
This will be the first year that UH will be represented at an annual NBLSA conference. It is great exposure in the national African-American community for both the University and WSRSL.
"Not only was this a competition, but this event gave the WSRSL family an opportunity to fellowship, eat, and take a small break from the regularity of school and work," said BLSA president Byron Walker.

Michael Schmidt, Grey as Colour:
Photographs until 2009
May 21-August 22, 2010
Michael Schmidt has been taking photographs since 1965, analogue and in black-and-white, and with an unusually broad range of grey tones. "For me black and white are always the darkest grey and the lightest grey." (Michael Schmidt 1996). Micheal Schmidt's images lack all superficial attraction; they are without incident and as far removed from the photographic concept of the decisive moment as possible; they are neither striking nor narrative. For decades Michael Schmidt has abstained from making composition samples that prove to be exceptional single frame images. He prefers the series, in which the artistic expression is not exhausted in the individual image, but in which one image refers to another instead. In each of his series Michael Schmidt is looking for a new point of entry, one that appears to be appropriate for the specific subject matter. This includes the individually designed artist's book that accompanies the publication of a series. His unusual and thorough production process has made Michael Schmidt an example for the younger generation of photographers.
With the exhibition of photographs by Michael Schmidt, the Haus der Kunst presents another formative position in contemporary photography. Works by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Robert Adams, Lee Friedlander, Andreas Gursky and William Eggleston have already been shown as part of this exhibition series.
With 390 original photographs Grey as Colour is the most extensive overview of Michael Schmidt's work to date. A third of the pieces are new works or — like 89/90, which only existed as working proofs until now — have been edited as a series for the exhibit.
On view will be the series Portraits (1970-74); Stadtlandschaft (Urban Landscapes) (1974-75); Berlin Wedding (1976-78); Berlin Wedding. Menschen (Berlin Wedding. People) (1977-78); Berlin, Stadtbilder (Berlin, Urban Images) (1976-80); Innenaufnahmen (Interior Views) (1979-80); Berlin nach 45 (Berlin after 45) (1980); Waffenruhe (Ceasefire) (1985-87); Selbst (Self) (1985-88); 89/90 (1989-90); Architektur (Architecture) (1989-91); Ein-heit (Un-ity) (1991-94); Ihme-Zentrum (Ihme Center) (1997-98); Frauen (Women); (1997-99); Irgendwo (Somewhere) (2001-04) and Meer (Sea) (2008-09). The series will not be presented chronologically but in a network pattern.
Until the 1990s Michael Schmidt mainly worked in the city in which he was born in 1945: Berlin. The Wall, which characterized the city and divided her, became a central focus for him in 1987 with his series Waffenruhe (Ceasefire). Since the 1990s the radius of Michael Schmidt's activities has expanded: He photographed in Hannover for his series Frauen (Women), and he then created the work group Irgendwo (Somewhere), which resulted from journeys through the German province. The newest works in the exhibition are views of the sea.
Portraits of people
People and urban landscapes are the two dominant motifs in the artist's work. From 1977-78 he created a series of double portraits that depict people both in their place of work and at home; the formal principal of similar situations suggest standardized behaviour: During working hours the portrayed individual sits behind his desk and, in the evenings, on the sofa in his living room. From punk to rocker, from the system analyst to the local politician, the childcare worker or educational psychologist, from the social worker to the lawyer working at the District Office in Wedding or the head of public relations at Schering AG — they all take refuge in a similar position and their particular environment imparts a certain sense of narrowness. The double portraits can be regarded as both a succession of different ways of life, as if he was playing with different identities, and as self-questioning.
The portraits from the 1980s seem to be more spontaneous and to have been created in an almost casual manner. The social and spatial contexts and backgrounds are reduced to details, before which the individual can better unfold. Yet, once again, viewers who look a bit closer sense that the portrayed individuals experience a kind of homelessness in their social environments. Michael Schmidt once described himself as a "photographer of dead ends". Beyond the mere documentation of zeitgeist, fashion and milieu, the photographer's images of people formulate the desire to blast open the behavioural patterns of their surrounding environment.
Michael Schmidt will be represented at this year's Berlin Biennale with his series Frauen (Women) (1997-99). This series' models stood in front of the camera either clothed or naked and, without explicitly wishing to stage, attempt to hold their own in the orchestration. Conscious of their exposed state, they repeat a specific repertoire of poses and postures: They place their arms on their hips or across their chests; push their hands in their pockets and turn partially or completely away, revealing only a part of their body. The photographer, though, declares his solidarity with the models' vulnerability and their lack of practice and ease. The fragmentary perspective allows him to emphasize individual characteristics, thereby measuring anew the distance between such images and the standardized female portraits found in contemporary glossy magazines.
For his photographs of urban landscapes Michael Schmidt often chooses in-between places whose architecture is not specifically defined, spaces such as empty lots or open areas. The individual images only provide a limited amount of information about their structural contexts: A centrally placed obstacle impedes a view into the space, or an empty area becomes the work's focus. The loading ramps, parking spaces, bits of wall, corrugated iron walls, household supply stores, bars with advertisements for Schultheiss beer, and even playgrounds for children: all these places appear to be pieces of locationless utilitarian architecture.
Certain series, for instance Berlin-Wedding from 1978, were regarded as documentations of unsuccessful urban planning when they were first published — as if Michael Schmidt wanted to accuse the wretchedness of the tenement blocks, "with which one could kill people as with an axe", as Heinrich Zilles described the "stony" Berlin. When viewed today, however, Michael Schmidt's images do not convey such an explicit accusation but rather pose the question: What chance does the individual have here? What does a successful way of life in this kind of urban landscape look like? The spaces, areas and highlighted details in these photographs are not a mere representation of reality: they also have the quality of abstract paintings. They allow one to recognize the inwardly directed gaze of the author, who is not just interested in objective documentation, but in the development of an unmistakable individual style as well.
In a solo exhibition in 1996 at the MoMA in New York, Michael Schmidt presented the series Ein-heit (Un-ity) (1991-1994). The series — a collection of 118 individual images about the German reunification — included not just his own works but also images he had found in magazines, newspapers and propaganda material. In this way he connected individual memories with collective ones, mixed images from East Berlin with ones from West Berlin. Because of an intentional dearth of information provided by the individual image, it is once again impossible to categorise them as belonging to a specific place, moment or political system. Gymnasts forming ornaments, military parades, factory workers, portraits of Göring, Adenauer and Honecker, they are all collectively resulting in one big question: East and West, what was that anyway? The symbolism of political systems and their image of people seem to be universally the same.
The exhibition is curated by Thomas Weski.
89/90 will be accompanied by an artist's book published by Snoeck Verlag; with a text by Chris Dercon (English / German), 104 pages, 18,3 x 22,1 cm, and 48 photographs; 39.80 €, ISBN 978-3-940953-43-8

"The great portion of any ball game consists of the pitcher holding the ball or throwing it to the catcher," wrote one-time Chicago White Sox owner Bill Veeck in his 1965 book "The Hustler's Handbook" (Ivan R. Dee: 352 pp., $15.95 paper). "Anything that can somehow turn that frozen tableau into a scene fraught with drama and excitement has solved about 75 percent of your problems."
Veeck gave baseball fans plenty of drama before his death in 1986. Over 40 years, he owned four baseball clubs -- the White Sox twice. He came up with the exploding scoreboard, testified against baseball's reserve clause and, in 1979, helped sponsor Disco Demolition Night at Chicago's Comiskey Park, an anti-disco rally that ended in a riot when local DJ Steve Dahl blew up thousands of disco records, burning a hole in the outfield grass.
Newly reissued, "The Hustler's Handbook" is Veeck in his own words: a collection of tales involving the backroom dealings he had occasion to be involved with -- and plenty he didn't but is happy to discuss.
"What baseball needs more than anything else is the simple courage to be disreputable," he trumpets, pointing out that even Babe Ruth was occasionally "known to use the indicative mood when the subjunctive was clearly called for." He waxes rhapsodic about the 1964 sale of the Yankees to CBS, the Dodgers' flight to the West Coast and the game-winning drinking habits of Red Sox pitcher Ellis Kinder and old-school Cubbie Hack Wilson.
Not only that, he understands the relationship of a team to its fans. Here he is on the paradox of early 1960s Mets supporters: "No other city is so confident of its own preeminence that it could afford to take such an open delight in its own bad taste." Chicago Cubs fans of the present day, take note.
Veeck is a divisive figure in baseball's history because he dared to acknowledge that the game was not just a game but a business. Like Mark Twain in "Innocents Abroad," he writes with the largess of a man whose head is barely above the water, cutting through the mythology of baseball to get at the sport's more essential themes: greed, manipulation and an occasional burst of good, old-fashioned American fun.

The Krystal Co. had sold the two restaurants – along with a third property – last year for about $3.1 million in a sale-leaseback deal, part of a $14.2 million investment by Raleigh, N.C.-based Triangle Capital Corp.
CFKRY had bought the Krystal restaurant at 2663 Mount Moriah Road for $1.2 million, the one at 4431 Summer Ave. for $849,563 and the third property, at 4395 Elvis Presley Blvd., for $1.1 million. CFKRY sold the Elvis Presley property in January for $1.4 million to Krystal V LLC.

When The Woody Guthrie Center opened recently in Tulsa, Okla., it included 12 touch-screen kiosks that were developed by Memphis-based custom software development firm Mind Over Data.
The kiosks that Mind Over Data helped develop allow visitors to browse photos, writings, audio recordings, videos and other digital artifacts.
One of the kiosks allows visitors to type their own song lyrics into a digital version of an Olympia typewriter, the same kind Guthrie used. Another kiosk allows multiple users to browse information about Guthrie's life via an interactive map.
Woody Guthrie, who lived from 1912-1967, was a prominent folk singer and songwriter.
Mind Over Data specializes in interactive touch screen kiosks; mobile applications for Android and iPhone; business process automation; development of portals, intranets and extranets; and knowledge management and collaboration.

Thomas & Betts Corp. executives marked one year since the acquisition of the Memphis-based power and electric utility devices company by ABB Group of Zurich Thursday, May 9, with three contributions from both. The contributions, totaling $1 million, went to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and the Memphis Development Foundation.
The contributions honor recently retired Thomas & Betts chairman and CEO Dominic J. Pileggi.
Of the total, $500,000 went to St. Jude ALSAC, the fundraising arm of the research hospital. Another $400,000 was awarded to Le Bonheur and $100,000 was presented to the Memphis Development Foundation for use in the $14 million education and performing arts center the foundation is building as part of The Orpheum Theater.
"We've sponsored the tournament. We've done that for years," said Charles L. Treadway, president and CEO of the Thomas & Betts business unit, referring to the FedEx St. Jude Golf Classic at the Tournament Players Club where the checks were presented Thursday evening and Pileggi as well as long-time Thomas & Betts general counsel Jim Raines were honored. "When we asked Dominic all the different charities he's donated to since his time in Memphis, the list was quite long. We limited it to these three just to have a significant impact."
Pileggi presented the checks and told a group of 100 at the club that the acquisition has gone well with both companies integrating their cultures and practices with Thomas & Betts adding 100 jobs in its Memphis-area operations since the $3.9 billion deal was finalized one year ago this month.

The Assisi Foundation of Memphis Inc. is giving the Shelby County District Attorney General's office $200,000 to replace file servers and other computer hardware that is outdated as well as desktop and laptop computers.
The grant will allow a much-needed update in the computer system of the prosecutor's office.
Shelby County District Attorney General Amy Weirich said the funding is critical for the office, which replaced some desktops and laptops in 2008, but otherwise hasn't had a significant upgrade to its software and computer systems since 1999.
The Federal Reserve has broadened its oversight beyond banks and now monitors a wide-range of financial institutions that could hasten another financial crisis, Chairman Ben Bernanke said Friday.
Bernanke said the Fed is still monitoring banks and other systematically important financial institutions. But it has widened its scope to include other important participants that could either trigger a crisis or make the system more vulnerable.
Chief among them is the so-called shadow banking system, which includes loans that are turned into securities and sold to investors. It was the breakdown of lending in the area of subprime mortgages that helped trigger the 2008 crisis.
In a speech to a banking conference sponsored by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, Bernanke said the Fed is also looking more closely at asset markets and the nonfinancial sector, which includes consumers and businesses.
"Probably our best defense against complacency during extended periods of calm is careful monitoring for signs of emerging vulnerabilities," Bernanke said.
The 2008 financial crisis helped push the country into the worst recession since the 1930s. Bernanke said the country is still suffering from the effects of the crisis and economic downturn.
"Our economy has not yet fully regained the jobs lost in the recession that accompanied the financial near collapse," Bernanke said. "And our financial system — despite significant healing over the past four years — continues to struggle with the economic, legal and reputational consequences of the events of 2007 to 2009."
In 2010, Congress passed a sweeping overhaul of financial regulation that President Barack Obama signed into law. But opponents of the law, including many of the nation's biggest banks, have mounted an aggressive effort to overturn key provisions that target some of the most influential institutions.
The regulatory overhaul adopted tougher requirements for these institutions that are considered "too big to fail." Their collapse could put the entire financial system at risk. Many of the rules are still being finalized.
For example, banks are being asked to hold larger amounts of capital to cushion against risk. And regulators could seize a company that is threatening the system, dismantle it and sell off the pieces.

And so, on the day the Astros resume playing, the trade rumors surrounding the Astros begin to swirl, as well.
WEEI's Alex Speier says that the Red Sox are far more interested in Bud Norris than they were Matt Garza (whom the Rangers are apparently about to acquire) because he's a good pitcher and, unlike Garza, isn't a rental player.
That said, one of Speier's Red Sox sources said the Astros' asking price is too high:
...(The asking price is) more in line with a pitcher who has the reputation of a front-of-the-rotation option rather than a back-end one. But, given the depth of the Sox' system, if Houston's asking price does come down, then the Sox could become more aggressive in the pursuit of Norris.
At least we know how to write out the plural of "Red Sox" now, though, huh?

Red Sox interested in Norris

What, all the Astros are asking for is the latest Jeff Bagwell in the Red Sox system. That's too much? Heck, that Larry Anderson deal worked out well for the BoSox. ;^)

I love the incessant moaning about what they have to give up to get the best, cost-controlled pitcher available.
People don't realize that it doesn't matter how they value Bud. It's how the Astros do, since... we do not HAVE to trade him.

If one thing is immediately clear about Men4SexNow.com, it's that there are no big surprises in store. This is a dating and personals site that wears its heart on its sleeve. It says what it means and it promises its members plenty of hot, steamy hook ups. So, if you are looking for a more traditional dating site, this might not be the right choice for you.
Men 4 Sex Now is a specialist website, with a focus on bringing horny singles together for raunchy fun. It is designed for gay men and features a range of different tools for browsing, matching, and messaging. As this Men4SexNow.com review will make clear, the platform is big, bold, and unafraid to be naughty.
While there is nothing stopping members from meeting and pursuing more serious relationships, the vast majority of connections are casual. This platform is not geared towards monogamous dating, so it contains a lot of intensely sexual content. The member profiles are presented in a simple and uncomplicated fashion, so that you can pick out the ones that you like and find out if they have to get to know you better.
To sign up with Men4SexNow.com, you'll need a valid email address. Every new user is automatically granted a free three day trial, so that they can get used to the site and decide if they want to stay. It is very important that you provide personal details like your age. It may seem intrusive, at first, but the request is designed to protect minors and ensure that everybody on the platform is legal and fully aware of its nature.
You cannot move forward and starting utilising the website until you have provided this information. Once you are ready to start browsing, check out the various search tools and functions. On a website as large as Men 4 Sex Now, things like active login dates are really useful. If you search according to this criteria, you'll only get matches that are active and likely to message you back.
There are thousands of member profiles to choose from, so you're bound to find a perfect hook up in no time. The profile pages contain a wealth of information that can help you decide if a person is right for you or not. While it is up to the profile owner to judge which details they want to reveal, most users are quite open and honest. You'll find details about sexual preferences and desires on most.
On your own profile, you can upload up to two public and two private photos. This isn't actually all that many and lots of new members find it a little annoying at first. However, there are few rules on what can and cannot be uploaded. Do be aware that nudity is a big part of Men4SexNow.com. If you sign up to the platform, you will see naked pictures when browsing member profiles.
To skip straight to the most eligible singles, use the geographic search functions. That way, you'll know which members are hot, horny, and in your local area right now. The only real downside to the search functions on this site are that they can be a little clunky in some circumstances. For example, you have to enter the full username of a member, in order to locate their profile, and searches only provide the 500 most relevant matches.
For those who want to bypass the fussy stuff, there are a number of simple and straightforward 'quick match' services. They allow users to find matches for casual hook ups only, guys looking for guaranteed sex within twenty four hours, and fresh meat (new users).
It is easy to start chatting with eligible singles. All you have to is send a friendly message (up to 4,000 characters per email) and get their attention. There are, of course, real time IM functions as well if the thought of emailing is a little too slow for you. Ultimately, every feature on Men 4 Sex Now is designed to help guys hook up and have no strings fun.
With the free three day trial, you can enjoy a brief membership. During this period, you'll have access to an unrestricted amount of member profiles, be able to send as many messages as you like, and benefit from no limitations on the number of incoming communications. What you can't do, without paying for a full membership, is use the IM facilities. Plus, you'll only be able to find eligible singles using the most basic search tools.
If you decide to upgrade to a standard or premium membership, you'll be able to view a number of gay porn sites, with a vast amount of high quality sexual content. Premium users take priority over everybody else; their profiles are listed more prominently than free and standard members. The truth is that this website does offer you a very good chance of meeting somebody cool and having a fun encounter with them.
Nevertheless, for more serious dating and relationships, it is probably not the best choice. As this Men 4 Sex Now review has made clear, such platforms tend to be better suited to casual sex and no strings hook ups.

I'm not a huge Halloween fan. In fact, when I was in college and all the girls spent weeks looking for the perfect (sexy) cat, (sexy) witch, or (sexy) vampire costume, I usually ended up wearing the same costume year after year. And for the record, it happened to be the least sexy Halloween costume that you could imagine. It was a huge pumpkin costume that my mom sewed circa 1980-something and I would always wear it with jeans and a turtleneck underneath (and if I was feeling really ambitious, I would stuff the pumpkin with newspaper for extra fullness. Yeah, I know. Totally attractive).
So needless to say, it's probably not a huge surprise that I'm not all that into making Halloween costumes and fortunately we've lucked out for the past three years in that O has been able to wear hand-me-down costumes from her cousins. But this year when she decided that she wanted to be the Wicked Witch of the West, I figured that I should probably put my "good mommy" hat on and sew the dress for her.
I started the whole process by finding a pattern (Simplicity 4139), because let's be honest, I'm not one of those awesome ladies who can whip up amazing things up without a pattern. The pattern ended up being great except that it recommenced taffeta fabric for the project and as I soon learned, polyester taffeta is the devil's fabric (appropriate for Halloween I guess). The skirt on this dress is super-gathered but my gathering strings kept breaking because of the thickness of the fabric. Plus, getting such thick fabric to gather well/evenly/or at all was a total pain in the butt. I can't tell you how many times I resewed that stupid skirt to the bodice! In the end my mantra was "it's just a freaking Halloween costume. Let it go." So yes, the back pieces on the bodice totally don't match up to each other, but I figure that it'll be dark when she's trick or treating and she'll be wearing a cape. And if worse comes to worse, we all know that she's completely capable of distracting people with just her cuteness.
As for the other parts of the costume, we're just reusing this cape that I had already made (yes, I know that the Wicked Witch does not sport a red-lined cape, but let's just call this a creative liberty, okay?). And as for the hat, I just bought that sucker.
But for all my whining about this costume, it's actually quite simple and it was really just the fabric that was a total pain in the booty. Want to see an amazingly elaborate homemade Halloween costume? Check out this one.

There are a number of issues that you must take into account before you setup your divisions. Divisions, like teams and players can be assigned a Catagory. For example if you are going to have a U12 Boys Divisions and only want U12 Boys teams and U12 Boys players to participate in that division you can assign that category to the division.At the basic level a division is simply a group of teams that play games against each other. Divisions can also have subdivisions and divisions can also have standings and web pages associated with them.The following is a Division Schedule (with no sub-divisions):

Spectrum of Change
Jennifer Flanders chose a dyanmic color palette for her new apartment
- « prev

- 1 of 11
When Manhattan interior designer Jennifer Flanders decides to make a change, she moves at a chop-chop pace and with a spectacular plan. Mid-winter last year, the newly single Jennifer found an Upper East Side apartment that she shares with her daughters Emma, 9, and Allie, 6. Within six weeks of signing the lease, Jennifer had chosen a dynamic color palette and picked an array of vintage and antique furnishings. She quickly transformed the apartment into a haven where she could feel inspired to start her new life.
"I wanted to have a home for my daughters that was settled and finished, not half-done," says Jennifer.
Intense color saturates the living room. Two separate seating arrangements-one in front of the fireplace, and this one against the back wall-are enveloped by red walls and are anchored by matching brown velvet sofas. Piped in orange, the sofas are topped with soft cashmere throws and pillows in orange, red, and gold.

This is the living room seating arrangement in front of the fireplace. To keep the number of patterns in the living room under control, Jennifer Flanders introduced solid brown velvet on the matching sofas that anchor the seating arrangements. Simple window panels of embroidered silk were fabricated with chunky tassel fringe along the edges.

Designed with multi-functionality in mind, the pumpkin-colored dining room triples as a library (after-school homework), a workspace (late-night projects), and a place to dine. Storage in the apartment is minimal, so bookshelves with interiors painted a contrasting shade of eggplant were installed to house books and dinnerware, and introduce an additional vibrant color. "I thought this room would feel more warm and inviting if there was seating beyond the formal dining chairs," says Jennifer, "so I pushed the table against the wall to make room for cozy, comfortable chairs."

A vintage crystal chandelier glows in the hallway of the Flanders apartment.
The ultra-feminine master bedroom glows in raspberry tempered by a taupe glaze applied in a crosshatch pattern. Jennifer used an antique bed as inspiration for the shaped headboard tufted in hot pink wool. Instead of the expected stark white, the bedroom trim was painted in taupe to add depth and more warmth. Newly constructed armoires faced with mirrors house Jennifer's clothes and accessories.

The bedroom for daughters Emma and Allie was the biggest design challenge. They are used to having separate bedrooms, but in this apartment they will be sharing a room. So Jennifer worked toward a happy compromise in tastes. "I knew they would have conflicting thoughts about what their room should be," Jennifer says. "But in the end, they loved it. They are like me. Offer them a bit of sparkle, and they'll take it."
A silver damask motif on reddish pink walls updates a traditional pattern, and floral window panels complement the wallpaper's oversized pattern. To give each daughter a modicum of privacy, matching storage units with a shared bookcase in between create niches for beds upholstered in a metallic turquoise fabric.

Emma and Allie read and relax in their shared bedroom.
Designer Jennifer Flanders with her daughters Emma, left, and Allie. Jennifer was not shy about dousing her apartment with strong and dramatic hues. She follows these guidelines when choosing colors for her design work.
Go Beyond Tried and True. Instead of having go-to colors, Jennifer prefers to tackle new color combinations for each project. "Not only does it keep the work interesting, but it allows me to give something unique to each client," she says. She does, however, use one trim color repeatedly-Benjamin Moore's white dove, which, she explains, is neither too bright nor too creamy, just the perfect white.
Introduce Color Surprises. Trying a new wall color is the easiest way to change the look of a room. But why stop there? Jennifer advises painting the moldings white and suggests painting the inside of bookshelves a contrasting color. That offers opportunities for more interest and drama.
Think Balance. Mix light with dark and large scale with small scale to create a room of ease and comfort. Bold colors and patterns should be evenly distributed throughout a space, not clumped together in one area.

Thank you Kristi and Max! When I first saw it, I knew I had to have it. I was expecting this to be Venetian, imagine my surprise when I turned it over and saw an acid etched "Japan!!"
