Hi Raphael, welcome to your personalised site speed analysis. Below you will find an overview of your site infrastructure, your speed benchmark results and my top recommendations to help speed up your site.
URL tested: cadeaux-pourris.com
Your current site infrastructure
- Theme: Avada
- Theme author: ThemeFusion
- Hosting provider: Scaleway
- Ecommerce platform: WooCommerce
- Speed optimisation plugin: W3 Total Cache
- Content Delivery Network: Cloudflare
- This is one of the Top 10 WordPress Themes
- This theme has been detected in 1.33% of my searches
- 115 out of every 10,000 sites I analyse use Avada
I optimise this theme a lot. It always seems to work well with various optimisation techniques and provides a solid structure to work with.
Your current optimisation setup appears to utilise W3 Total Cache. As a result you will already be taking advantage of the browser caching technique mentioned below. However I actually don't think this is the best configuration for you. That plugin tends to be a bit hit or miss depending on the hosting environment, sometimes it works great but a lot of the time it causes conflicts that go unnoticed or it just doesn't perform as well as it could without a lot of work to fine tune it.
You're using WooCommerce for your ecommerce platform, that's good to see as it's by far the best WordPress ecommerce system. It adds quite a bit of overhead to the load time however and often requires a fair bit of work to reduce its impact. File optimisation can work well here but often leads to conflicts, if that occurs you will need to remove CSS and JS files one at a time from the optimisation process to narrow down which one is causing problems. Additionally plugin optimisation is a great technique to use when optimising WooCommerce. Often plugins will load their files on every page, with an ecommerce store this causes a considerable slow down, plugin optimisation prevents this by stopping certain plugins loading on pages they are not needed.
Your content delivery network is Cloudflare. This is my CDN of choice and I specialise in optimising it. If you wanted me to work with your site I suspect I could get a bit more performance out of it to maximise it's potential.
Speed benchmark results
Your website has been tested multiple times using two separate benchmarking tools, this provides an accurate average which can be used as a basis for comparison.
|Benchmark tool
|Performance grade
|Load time
|Page size

The average load time of cadeaux-pourris.com is 6.35 seconds, this is slower than 79% of tested sites.
Your website page size is below 3MB. This is good as it can be a problem for users with slower internet connections and mobile users if the page size gets too large. However I suspect the page size could be reduced even further.
Your website generates more than 100 requests when loaded. This indicates a lot of files are loaded, and generally this leads to a slower website. This can be improved by combining CSS and JS files, or optimising plugins and preventing some from loading on every page if they are not used.
Your Google PageSpeed Insights score is considered below average. Google PageSpeed is a good tool to use when trying to identify what optimisation techniques are currently being implemented on a site, and what files or elements could use some work. It is not always a great reflection of the true site speed as it only takes into consideration the techniques implemented and not the final speed.
The estimated completion times of the recommendations below are based on the average WordPress site owner. They assume you have a good understanding of WordPress, reasonable knowledge of your web hosting setup and that you know what CSS and JS files are. Recommendations are ranked in order of difficulty to implement and configure correctly.
Personalised recommendations
Based on your current site infrastructure and site speeds I would personally recommend the following optimisation techniques as a starting point and a top priority. You can view a description of what each technique does below in the complete optimisation list.
Don't be put off by the difficult level, if you don't have too much experience in this area it will just take a bit longer or you might not be able to fully implement the technique to make use of it's maximum potential. Some techniques work out of the box but require fine tuning to really get the most out of them and to avoid conflicts and display issues.
File Optimisation
Minify CSS and Javascript files and then combine them to reduce the number of HTTP requests.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 2 hours
Image Compression & Lazy Load
Compress images so they download faster. Lazy Load ensures only visible images on a page are loaded.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 1 hour
Theme & Plugin Optimisation
Prevent plugins loading on pages they are not needed and make sure your theme is delivering code efficiently.
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 1 hour
Database Optimisation
Databases can become bloated and lead to slow load times. Clear your database of junk files and redundant plugin tables.
Difficulty: Intermediate-Expert
Estimated completion time: 1 hour
Complete optimisation list
Below is a complete list of site speed optimisation techniques you should consider, if you are looking to fully optimise your site and get it loading at it's full potential.
Page & Browser Caching
Difficulty: Beginner
Estimated completion time: 30 minutes
Caching creates an ultra-fast load time. With browser caching, static contents (JS, CSS, images) are stored in the browser. When a visitor goes to another page on your website, your static content does not need to be loaded again.
GZIP Compression
Difficulty: Beginner
Estimated completion time: 15 minutes
GZIP compresses your webpages and style sheets before sending them over to the browser. This drastically reduces transfer time since the files are much smaller.
Google Fonts Optimisation
Difficulty: Beginner
Estimated completion time: 15 minutes
Less HTTP requests for a faster website.
Mobile Detection and Caching
Difficulty: Beginner
Estimated completion time: 15 minutes
Mobile users will be served a cached version to ensure they can quickly load and navigate your site.
File Optimisation
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 2 hours
Minification reduces the weight of each file and allows for a faster reading by browsers and search engines.
Concatenation combines CSS and JavaScript files. This mechanism reduces the number of HTTP requests and improves your loading time.
Be aware that file optimisation often presents display problems. If implemented incorrectly CSS & JS files won't don't load properly leading to site display issues and functionality not working as expected. If you experience this you will need to carefully debug your optimisation setup and figure out which files are causing issues and then exclude those from the optimisation process.
Theme & Plugin Optimisation
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 1 hour
WordPress themes and plugins don't come fully optimised and are often bloated. It is important to look through all of your files and optimise any inefficient code you find.
Plugins will often load their files on all pages regardless of whether they are needed, you should carefully analyse your important pages and make sure only the plugins used are loaded.
How to implement
You can use Plugin Organiser to control which plugins load on each page. It requires some effort to get it set up and working correctly so be sure to read the FAQs before proceeding.
This is a manual process so it's often too complex and time consuming to go through every single page. I recommend you select your 5-10 most important pages and focus your efforts on those. Be careful which plugins you disable on certain pages as this is a quick way to break your site if you disable the wrong plugins.
Image Compression & Lazy Load
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 1 hour
Images should be compressed so they are downloaded faster and take up less space on your server.
Lazy Load ensures only visible images on a page are loaded, they appear as the user scrolls down the page.
DNS Prefetching
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 30 minutes
DNS prefetching is a way for browsers to anticipate the DNS resolution of external domains from your site. This mechanism reduces the latency of some external files.
Defer JS Loading
Difficulty: Intermediate
Estimated completion time: 45 minutes
JavaScript files are loaded after the end of the rendering of the page. Thus, the loading time of your website will be reduced.
Database Optimisation
Difficulty: Intermediate-Expert
Estimated completion time: 1 hour
Over time databases can become bloated and lead to slow load times. This is most noticeable in the WordPress dashboard backend, and on the frontend of ecommerce sites or websites with a lot of posts and pages.
How to implement
To begin with I recomend using the WP-Optimize plugin to help clear up most of the junk files from your database. Next you might consider using WP-Sweep to go more in depth and clear out junk files WP-Optimize doesn't pick up.
WP-Sweep is more advanced and is not recommended if you are not familiar with the files being removed. For example please don't use WP-Sweep if you are not sure what any of the following are: oEmbed caches in post meta, Orphan term relationships or Orphaned user meta. I also don't recommend WP-Sweep if you run an ecommerce store as it has been known to cause irreversible damage.
Next you will want to remove old plugin tables from the database that are left over when you uninstall plugins. Some poorly written plugins don't remove all their files and database tables after being uninstalled so require extra work to remove them. You can use Plugins Garbage Collector to remove them completely. Again be careful using this as it is not always 100% accurate in identifying unused database tables.
Database optimisation can be a tricky technique to implement. You will need to be comfortable working with your database to complete this optimisation. Be sure to make a full backup before attempting this, as database alterations can lead to irreversible changes that can't be undone.
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Difficulty: Expert
Estimated completion time: 2 hours
This distributes your content around the world so it's closer to your visitors (speeding up your site).
WordPress Dashboard Optimisation
Difficulty: Expert
Estimated completion time: 3 hours
The backend speed of WordPress is often quite slow when a lot of plugins are installed. To make managing your WordPress site a breeze you should optimise the backend as well. This process involves analysing which plugins are loaded on certain admin pages and then only loading those plugins that need to be there.
Need further help?
I'm experienced with optimising all types of WordPress websites. From high traffic ecommerce stores to personal blogs, I can help even the most demanding WordPress installs run faster and more stable.
I can take the guess work out of this process for you so can get on with doing what you do best and running your business. I offer the most comprehensive WordPress optimisation service around, and websites I work with experience on average 151% faster load times.
Making your website faster is generally the most cost effective change you can make to improve it's overall performance and user experience. Visitors won't stick around if your pages take too long to load and you will likely lose business as a result.
- 40% of users abandon a website that takes more than 3 seconds to load
- 47% of consumers expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less
- 79% of shoppers who are dissatisfied with website performance are less likely to buy from the same site again
- A 1 second delay in page response can result in a 7% reduction in conversions
It usually takes around 10-12 hours for the typical WordPress site owner to fully optimise their website. It takes a lot of time and effort if you really want to get the most out of it, and it's a process that's often full of headaches and plugin conflicts when things don't work correctly.
In addition to taking care of everything for you, I provide ongoing support and will fine tune your site every three months for the next year after the work is complete.
The cost of my complete site speed optimisation package is just £75.
You can learn more about what is included in my service here.
I can work closely with your current team if needed so they are aware of any optimisations made and can continue to manage the site.

Marjorie Montemayor-Quellenberg, MA
Chorionic villus sampling is a test that is done during early pregnancy to test for chromosomal problems in the fetus. It involves removing chorionic villi from the placenta. The placenta is the organ that provides nutrients and oxygen to the baby during pregnancy. It also removes waste from the baby's blood. Chorionic villi is the tissue that makes up most of the placenta. The test is done during the 9th-13th weeks of pregnancy.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Chorionic villi contains valuable information about the baby's genes. By testing chorionic villi, the doctor can find out if the baby has a chromosomal abnormality, like
Down syndrome. The test can also detect genetic disorders, like
cystic fibrosis. It cannot detect neural tube defects, such as spina bifida.
This test may be considered when:
Although a test showing a healthy baby without a genetic disorder is ideal, you will need to be prepared if the results show otherwise. If the test shows that your baby may have a genetic disorder, it may require you to make tough decisions regarding your pregnancy, such as whether or not to continue it. If you continue with the pregnancy, you will need to address concerns, such as planning for a child with special needs. Your doctor can help you understand the pros and cons of having this test, as well as talk about your options after you know the results.
There are some risks with having this test, such as:
Chorionic villus sampling through the cervix may not be recommended if you:
Since you may need to have a full bladder, drink plenty of fluids before the test. However, depending on how your placenta is positioned, you may be asked to urinate before the test. Talk with your doctor about specific ways to prepare for the test. Also, arrange to have someone drive you home from the hospital.
The doctor will use an ultrasound to find the position of your placenta and take measurements to determine the age of the fetus. An ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of structures inside the body.
The doctor will use the ultrasound images as a guide to take a tissue sample from your placenta. First, your vagina and cervix will be cleansed with antiseptic. Next, a device called a speculum will be inserted to widen the opening of the vagina. A thin, hollow tube will be inserted through your vagina and cervix. When it reaches the placenta, it will gently suction a small tissue sample. You may feel cramping while the sample is being taken.
The doctor may want to monitor your baby's heart rate using an ultrasound. You will be encouraged to rest when you are home. You will most likely be able to return to normal activities the next day. If you have a RH negative blood type, you will need to receive Rhogam to prevent a condition called isoimmunization.
30-45 minutes
You may feel some cramping during and after the test. You may also have a small amount of bleeding right after the test.
It may take 1-2 weeks to receive your test results. You will go over the results with your doctor or a genetic counselor.
If the test results are unclear, you may need to have another test, called an
to give you a better understanding of the results.
If the results show that your baby has a genetic disorder or chromosomal problems, you and your doctor will discuss how to manage your pregnancy. This may be a stressful time. Get support from your family, friends, and healthcare team.
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
Please be aware that this information is provided to supplement the care provided by your physician. It is neither intended nor implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice. CALL YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER IMMEDIATELY IF YOU THINK YOU MAY HAVE A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.

30th ANNUAL ATLANTIC SUN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP
THE SERIES: This is the first time the Bisons and down-the-boulevard rival Belmont have met in the A-Sun Baseball Championship. The Bisons first A-Sun series this season was at Belmont. They lost the opener 5-2 and won the next two games 12-7 and 7-2 on March 1 and 2.
ON-THE-AIR: Game five of the tournament is set to start at 2 p.m. CST. All tournament games are being show live on ASUN TV. Fans can subscribe to the service by going to lipscombsports.com and clicking on the ASUN TV button.
THE TOURNAMENT: The Bisons won their first A-Sun Tournament game Wednesday shutting down Campbell, the No. 6 seed 14-0. The Bruins lost their first ever first round tournament game as Gardner-Webb, the No. 4 seed rallied for a 9-7 win in 10 innings Wednesday.
The double-elimination tournament continues through Saturday. The tournament champion earns the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
ONE FOR THE BOOKS: The win over Campbell set a couple of new team game highs for this season for the Bisons. The 14 runs bested the 13 scored April 1 against Middle Tennessee State in a 13-6 win.
The 13 runs batted in topped the 12 knocked in by the BIsons in two games this season, March 1 against Belmont and April 1 against Middle Tennessee State.
The 17 hits by the Bisons were one short of the 18 against Stetson April 6.
Designated hitter Justin Sanders drove in five runs with a double and a home run. That ties Jared Picchiottino who had five RBI against Middle Tennessee April 1.
Catcher Caleb Joseph scored four runs, a new season high for one game this season.
TOURNAMENT HISTORY: This is the second season in a row the Bisons have qualified for the six-team tournament. Last season they lost 4-3 in game one to Stetson and 4-1 in the second game to Gardner-Webb.
In 1987 former A-Sun member Georgia Southern beat Stetson 18-0.
Before the Bisons beat Campbell they were the only current A-Sun team qualified for the tournament that had not won a tournament game.
The Bisons are the second school in 13 years to improve from the No. 6 to the No. 1 seed in one year. The last team to accomplish that feat was former A-Sun member Florida Atlantic in 1999.
ON THE MOUND: Right-hander Brandon McClurg is expected to start for the Bisons. So far this season, McClurg is 6-5 with a 2.70 ERA. He has struck out 69 batters in 76.2 innings.
Left-hander Rex Brothers started in game one of the tournament. He picked up the win, allowing only one hit in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked two.
Right-hander Charles Williams gave up one hit in 2 2/3 innings in relief to preserve the shutout.
PROJECTED POSITION STARTERS: C Caleb Joseph, 1B Ryan Wilkins, 2B Ben Williams, SS Jorge Gutierrez, 3B Branden Cadavid, RF Shane Simpkins, CF Allen Bolden, LF Blake Bratcher, DH Justin Sanders.
A-SUN RANKINGS: Brandon McClurg is tied for second in the conference with a 2.70 earned run average. He is first in opposing batting avg. (.230). He is sixth in strikeouts with 69, 8.1 per game.
Pitcher Rex Brothers is first in strikeouts with 91, three short of tying his mark for last season. He is averaging 9.4 per game.
Catcher Caleb Joseph moved into a tie for second in home runs with 15. Joseph is fourth in total bases (141). He is fifth in slugging percentage (.629). He is fifth in RBI (57). He is tied for sixth in doubles (18). He is ninth in hits (78).
Designated hitter Justin Sanders had two doubles against Campbell, giving him 21 for the season and moving him into sole possession of third place in the conference.
Center fielder Allen Bolden had one double against Campbell giving him 20 for the season, good enough for fourth place in the conference.
AWARDS AND HONORS: Pitcher Brandon McClurg and catcher Caleb Joseph both were named to the All-Atlantic Sun Conference First Team.
McClurg has twice been named Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Week. In addition, McClurg was also named as one of five "Louisville Slugger" National Players of the Week, as well as awarded the Southeast Region Performance of the Week by InsidePitching.com
McClurg threw a no-hitter against Kennesaw State, a 4-0 win March 29. It was the first A-Sun no-hitter in two years.

Dean & Deluca: Gourmet Grocers
- Location: New York, New York and online
- Website: deandeluca.com
Store History
- Founded: 1977
- Founded by: Joel Dean, Giorgio DeLuca and Jack Ceglic
- Headquarters: SoHo, New York
In 1977, Dean & Deluca opened their first flagship store in New York's SoHo neighborhood. The store was designed by founding partner Jack Ceglic to "evoke a turn of the century food department." Since then, the SoHo store has expanded and additional locations have opened across the country and the world, but that original intent is still very visible — Dean & Deluca feels like an emporium you might have visited at the World's Fair, circa 1900.
It's all about the DISPLAYS. Designer cakes and cookies are artfully arranged behind glass counters, oysters are casually shown off on beds of ice, and rows and rows of chocolates decorate the candy counters. The prices are high, but what you'd expect for specialty brands. The bakery stocks breakfast rolls from Balthazar and Annie's cookies; the cheese department carries a wide variety of European imports next to artisanal cheeses from local farmers; and the seafood counter stocks a small but diverse selection of whatever's in season — including the occassional exotic item like razor clams or rare caviars.
Dean & Deluca is now a large chain, with 14 retail stores across the country (in New York, Washington, D.C., Napa Valley, Charlotte, and the Kansas City metro area). They also have a number of international cafés in far-flung places like Dubai, Taipei, and Kuwait. Their online inventory is extensive, and worth checking out if you're looking for a fancy gift.

Z68 Motherboard Roundup Part 2
Price: Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4 - $194.99
Price: Gigabyte G1 Sniper 2 - $339.99
Have you been looking at getting a new motherboard for your current setup? Maybe you are interested in getting into a new setup but have not quite made up your mind. With the holiday season right around the corner, there is always the possibility of a few new components being gifted to you or purchased with some spare gift cash. Well if you are looking into the Socket 1155 arena, OCC has three new boards for you to take a look at in the second part of the Z68 Motherboard Roundup. We all know that there are many new features that Z68 brings to the table over the previous P67 Chipset. No other component is more important than choosing the proper motherboard for your setup. This component is going to determine exactly what types of graphics cards you can grab or the memory type, speeds, and capacities. The HDD choices that you make should be based on what HDD features your motherboard can offer such as Gigabyte's XHDD feature or the allowance for up to a 3TB HDD as a bootable storage device with the Z68 chipset. Heck, you may pass up on a motherboard based on the overclockability or features that it may carry with it. With that said, I am interested to see exactly how these boards do compare to some of the other boards that are out on the market.
Closer Look:
A few months ago we look at four other Z68 boards which you can see here. This Z68 roundup is going to have a total of three new motherboards going head to head to see which one of them can out perform the others. In this roundup, the three motherboards we will be looking at, include the Sapphire Pure Platinum Z68, the Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4, and the Gigabyte G1 Sniper 2. Each one of these boards have unique features that separate them from each other and the rest of the pack. What we are going to do here is take a close look at all three of the boards to see exactly how each one of them perform. Looking at the Sapphire Pure Platinum Z68, you are going to be getting quite a nice feature list, such as the Diamond Chokes, onboard Intel HD Graphics, USB 3.0, onboard Diagnostics/CPU Temperature LED, Bluetooth, as well as high quality and durable film solid capacitors that provide low ESR and high heat resistance. The two Gigabyte boards are going to offer you the signature Gigabyte Ultra Durable 3 lineup, which include Japanese Solid Capacitors, Lower RDS(on) MOSFET, Ferrite Core Chokes, Dual CPU Power, DualBIOS that supports 3TB HDDs, a double thick Copper PCB for increased durability, and USB/SATA 3.0 support.
What exactly does Intel's Z68 Express chipset offer? First, it offers support for the 2nd generation Intel Core processor family with Intel's Turbo Boost Technology 2.0. The Intel Z68 Express chipset is the first product to enable performance tuning with access to the built-in visual features of 2nd generation Intel® Core™ processor family. You are also going to get Intel's Rapid Storage Technology 10.5, which is going to allow you to have a RAID 0, 5, and 10 array, as well as have support for RAID arrays that are larger than 2.2TB. With Intel's Rapid Storage Technology 10.5 you will also be able to have support for eSATA devices that can reach up to 3Gb/s. Intel's Smart Response Technology is also included in the Z68 chipset, which is going to implement storage I/O caching to provide faster response times for tasks such as system boot and application start up. Intel Rapid Recover Technology is also included, which is their latest data protection technology that provides a recovery point that can be used to quickly recover a system should one of your hard drives fail or there is data corruption. Finally, you are going to have SATA 6Gb/s support with the Z68 chipset. What more could you want?
Now that we know exactly what boards are going to be compared in this roundup, let's take a nice close look at all three of them to see what each board offers.

Thanksgiving Decor: White Pumpkins
Somehow it turns out Thanksgiving is only a couple of weeks away. I'm really not sure how that happened. Sandwiched between the bigger media holidays of Halloween and Christmas, I love Thanksgiving for it's more homey, less-commercial feeling. But because of that, I find I'm always caught by surprise when it's finally Thanksgiving "season".
So, as of this post, I will now be in the Thanksgiving spirit. It's the only holiday at our house where I get the chance to decorate the table for anyone besides my small family. Which is a good thing, because though I love a beautiful tablescape, I don't really have the personality to make one for our small house, small table, and small family on a regular basis. Our table is more regularly covered with a pile of extra art supplies.
But Thanksgiving brings out the hostess in me! This year I'm particularly smitten with white pumpkins - it's a beautiful way to embrace traditional natural elements, but in a modern way. Whether you add some gold and fancy bits, or keep it more natural and rustic, the result feels contemporary. Now i just have to find me some pumpkins. Do you set a "tablescape" for Thanksgiving, or is your food the leading lady?

"Williams has dominated his level. Has good size, thick through the lower body. Plays with good power. Shows agility and a decent motor for a guy his size. Plays with good pad level, often gets under his opponents pads and drives them back. Locks out and disengages off of blocks well. When run goes away, does a good job of getting flat down the line of scrimmage to make the play."
"During his senior season, Williams broke the Missouri Southern sack record, and he finished with 27 sacks during his career at school. To make it clear, Williams is not just a sack artist, but a complete football player who can stop the run and get to the quarterback."
"2012: 68 total tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, two pass breakups, eight quarterback hurries, five forced fumbles and a safety."
Brandon Williams, DT, Missouri Southern
The 6-foot-3, 325-pounder has rare skills as an interior pass-rusher. NFL teams are always pressing to find interior defensive linemen who can put heat on the quarterback, and Williams has proven that he has that rare trait. The senior is Missouri Southern's career sack leader with 27.
Williams is very consistent, recording sacks in 9-of-12 games this year. He totaled 68 tackles, 16.5 tackles for a loss, 8.5 sacks and five forced fumbles in 2012.
To further illustrate his consistency, Williams had eight sacks as a junior and nine sacks as a sophomore. As with any prospect from a small school, the level of competition is a concern. Williams will be able to answer those doubts at the Senior Bowl. A good week there could send his stock skyrocketing.

McCourt To Hand Over Land To Fox
Surrendering the land to News Corp.'s Fox Entertainment Group erases considerable debt from the Dodger ledger — leaving the franchise with about $250 million due to other lenders over the next 25 years — and severs one of McCourt's major business connections to his hometown.Damn, Arte Moreno's looking better and better as an owner all the time, and he doesn't even have to cut the price of beer at the stadium...
But it does not fully resolve a question that has swirled around the Dodgers since McCourt's name first surfaced as a buyer: Can he afford to field a competitive team over the long haul?
The transaction — expected to be announced as a sale, though Fox sources call it a foreclosure — also sheds new light on just how badly Fox wanted out of the baseball-ownership business after six years with the Dodgers.
"Desperately," said a top baseball official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of policies barring discussion of club finances.
"He's the king of leverage; he's brilliant with other people's money," said a Boston city hall veteran who has clashed with McCourt, acknowledging the businessman's financial acumen. "Now he owns a baseball team in Los Angeles and 300 acres of land in California. You have to respect that."That brilliance apparently extends to moving his debt as well. The deal includes the assumption of $58 million in debt that McCourt took on in part because of a $36M loan from the Sovereign Bank of Philadelphia, and a $22M agreement to purchase a nearby property from the state of Massachusetts.
Sources close to McCourt said neither the $145-million loan, as it is described in public documents, nor its pending settlement, have any bearing on the club's ability to sign talent or to maintain and improve Dodger Stadium.
"If his team bumbles again on the field and the Angels continue to do well, he'll continue to see a reduction in his fan base," said Andrew Zimbalist, a Smith College economist who later this month will publish "In the Best Interests of Baseball?" a book about the economics of the sport. "If he can put a decent team on the field and get over his credibility problems in L.A., he ought to be able to run the team in the black."
Fox, for its part, isn't hurting, Zimbalist added.
"They got the long-term media rights to the Dodgers, which is what [News Corp. Chairman] Rupert Murdoch really wanted," the economist said. "He got control over the regional sports market. … So News Corp. isn't worrying about whether McCourt underpaid by $40 million or $50 million."
This is why I think baseball debt rules are silly. As franchises go up in value, teams should be able to turn equity into debt to keep the teams operating and competitive.
The players' union has long worried that the Debt Service Rule is nothing more than collusion dressed up as a health-of-the-game measure. There is some justification to this, and the 2003/2004 offseason in which Selig interfered with the Dodgers contractual negotiations is plain evidence of this.

Letters to the Editor for Nov. 10, 2012
An open letter from Canine AcademyWith our 38th Anniversary approaching on Nov. 11, you only have to drive by to see the changes at Canine Academy! The volume of business we have experienced has necessitated the replacement of the 200 year old carriage house that was our office with a larger and sturdier structure. We dearly loved the charm and character of the original building and hope to incorporate the warmth into the new one.
We have presently set up a temporary office in our Training Hall to facilitate the signing in of your pets either for boarding or training.
We ask that you call first so that you can be given directions to this facility on our grounds. With the large number of calls it may be difficult to get through at times and a second phone line may be in the works for next year. If you do experience difficulty, please continue trying - as customers ( old and new ) and their pets are extremely important to us.
The popularity of our boarding and training services made us consider expanding the kennel. However, the decision has been made NOT to do so. That decision was based on NOT wanting the QUALITY of service to be compromised with quantity.
Thanking you in advance for your patience and understanding during this time of construction. We look forward to serving you and the needs of your pets. www.canineacademy.com, 336 Winchester Road - Route 263, Winchester, 379-6631.

We The People Republican Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan often showed a liberal stance in some of their actions and writings. Like the Founding Fathers they embraced the first three words of the Constitution, "We the People."
Their policies were reflected by actions that strongly indicated that "We the People" meant all races, all religions, all nationalities, all immigrants, all genders and in short all Americans.
We the People" does not mean We the Republican Party or We the Democratic Party or We the Political Action Committees. Those Republican Presidents like the Founding Fathers would firmly reject the political nonsense of the Republican Platform today and its' ultra-radical conservative representatives who espose it. Does ignorance, racism and prejudice trump the common sense of "We the People?" I hope not.
Gene Griessman a Lincoln scholar of national fame in his book Words Lincoln Lived By, published 1997 by Simon & Schuster Inc, Library Of Congress ISBN 0-684-84122-3 quotes many of Lincoln's statements that should make sense to all Americans. Two if Lincoln's quotes are fiound on page 51 and 79 respectively and are appropriate today.
"The spirit of concession and compromise--that spirit which hs never failed us in past perils....may be safely trusted for all the future." ..."reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason, must furnish all the materials for our future support and defence."
Abraham Lincoln. Think about those words of our greatest President.
--Bob Gioscia, Harwinton
Sandy's devastation Hurricane Sandy did much damage, power lines and trees were knocked down. The winds were treacherous and the rain was heavy.
Down by the shoreline was where the worst damage was done. Some people lost their homes and belongings.
This is all quite a sad sight to behold.
Unfortunately four people died in Connecticut as a result of the storm and 33 in the country. I'd like to say a special prayer for these people and their families and friends. May they rest in peace, and consolation to their relatives and associates.
--Arlene Ascenzo, Torrington
Annual propaganda Regarding the recent op-ed written by William A. Collins about his attendance at the annual propaganda dinner hosted by Iran's mission to the United Nations, a more accurate headline would have been "The monster pretended he wasn't as bad as he really is."
True, Iran didn't join Iraq in using poison gas during their war; instead, it used gave children plastic keys to heaven and sent them running across mine fields to clear them. As explained by Mohebat Ahdiyyih in his article, "Ahmadinejad and the Mahdi," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made Mahdism "a focal point of his rhetoric."
Among other preconditions, Ahmadinejad believes "the destruction of liberal democratic states and Western capitalism, and an end to the United States as a superpower ... will enable Shi'i domination and the establishment of a world government."
This is the country Collins implies exists on a higher moral level than America and this is the leader from whom Collins said "it was enlightening to hear."
Our country isn't perfect and our political leaders aren't always totally open and honest, but I can't join Collins in giving more credence to the words of Mahmoud Ahmedinejad than to those of President Obama and living comfortably with the thought of nuclear weapons in the hands of the mad mullahs who are Ahmedinejad's bosses.

Ideal amount of dogs
Do all good things in life come in pairs? I'm curious if there is any information regarding the dynamics of dogs that are two in a household versus three. If we are talking about smaller dogs is it feasible to have three - does it create too much competition or initiate pack behaviour and a distancing from the people?
Curious to hear from those with experience.
We have 8 medium (either side of 50 lbs) English setters and they interact with each other, but still love to be with their people, too. The biggest factor is making time to be with them all--they all need their one-on-one time.
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
I have 2 cattle dogs plus 6 shelties and have 4 entire male sheltie dogs who exercise together with my girls, now spayed. There is jealousy between two brothers who were not reared together but I give them all equal attention and have shown them that I won't put up with jealousy and fighting and they are fine. If I sit down they don't go off and play, they all want to be next to be on my lap for a love-in. Sweet dogs.
If you obedience train your dog and get a strong bond with it, being in a pack situation does not destroy that bond. I have had a bitch have a litter of 11 pups(Australian Cattle Dogs) and the day after they were born, if I left the room, she would jump out of the whelping box , leave them to follow me. Now that's devotion. Not actually what I wanted her to do, LOL , but all my dogs are like that. You need to be pack leader, especially when you have say 6 cattle dogs instead of 6 shelties, it is much easier with a pleasant little breed like shelties. I have never found either breed distancing itself though. Mine compete for my attention.
I have 7 dogs, all are medium to xlarge breeds (except for one) over half of my dogs have potential for same sex dog aggression which makes things a little tricky for me, but everyone does get along just fine supervised.
As Hazel said its just a bit rough getting a routine in where everyone gets adequate one on one time.
But all in all ,I would say having multiple dogs is easier than just one or two. Its been so long since i have only had one or two dogs that having 7 just seems natural for me.
The biggest factor in how many dogs per household is the household/owner/ experience with dogs ect.
Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyways. ~John Wayne
Strong Bond
Thanks for all of your encouraging advice. Agreed, a truly strong bond with a dog should/will not be broken with the addition of another dog as long as you have time for them all. I am impressed by how many dogs some of you are able to raise- its very impressive. Of course here in the city we are legally allowed three dogs per household. Since we are dealing with pugs the biggest issue at hand is dealing with the competition for attention. Often amusing and terrifying when a pug attempts a death defying jump into your lap which is already occupied by another pug! Who knew that pugs could fly.
I never knew that about the flying!! We need video, pls!!
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
Are you sure that's not a sheltie in a pug suit ? LOL. My Shady(sheltie) used to do that, totally disregard that I already had a dog on my lap and do a very graceful, nimble leap to slot herself precisely between it and my body. (I do miss her.) I imagine your Pug could hurt itself though, they're not a supple agile breed.
Erykah, your TM would be like my cattle dogs as far as same sex aggression goes. No way could mine be together unsupervised. When I had 5 to 7 together I'd need to have my stock whip handy, the crack of the whip or a light flick around the butt would let them know who was pack leader, without that they could be out of your reach and go ahead with the plan to kill whoever. LOL. It's exactly how the old stockmen would have controlled this breed and kept them working instead of fighting. And, I must say this, until you see an all out fight between two cattle dogs, you can't criticise that method of control. A flick from their owner is absolutely nothing compared to the injuries or death in a fight.
It was a relief to get into shelties, they like each other, they're very nice to each other, absolute angels in fact. If the breeders of your Pugs can run them together safely then 3 for you should be good too.
My Mom has 3 small dogs (Min-Pins, Min-pin crosses) and they LOOOOVE their people and they love eachother. If one of the dogs is missing or not well you can tell the others are worried. They also worry about their people. They get especially concerned about my sister or I leaving the pack after we visit (and my dog-my older dog, they don't know my new pup yet).
I have 2 dogs, both of which have a great bond with me, DH, and each other. We've briefly discussed the possibility of rescuing a third, but to be honest, we're kind of out of room on our bed at night.
And I don't think our room is big enough for a king size bed

WICHITA, Kan. -- Millions of people from all over the country are making travel plans
to see the first solar eclipse visible in this country in 99 years, and the American Red Cross is prepared to help them if needed. It is estimated that more than seven million people are expected to travel to the 70-mile wide viewing area from Oregon to South Carolina.
Those planning travel for the event are urged to keep safety in mind. With large numbers of travelers expected to arrive over the weekend, Red Cross officials are coordinating with local emergency agencies across the state to ensure that any contingencies can be handled.
"As with any large public event, we have increased our level of preparedness so that we can move quickly if needed," said Jennifer Sanders, Red Cross Executive Director for South Central and Southeast Kansas. "Planning is a standard part of our regular collaborations with local emergency management officials and we are always ready to shelter and feed people affected by disasters, if
The Red Cross has hundreds of emergency shelters in the 12 states in the eclipse path in case of other emergencies, such as severe weather and extreme heat, that might occur while travelers are away from home. Red Cross volunteers and resources are on standby in case they are needed.
"Cellular service could be impacted by the large number of people visiting the region," added Sanders. "If networks go down, the Red Cross will use ham radio or top-priority emergency cell channels to communicate."
People coming to see the eclipse need to be prepared, and the Red Cross offers these safety tips to keep in mind:
- Pack an emergency kit in case you get stuck in traffic or can't find a place to stay. Include water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, battery-powered radio, first aid kit, medications, supplies for an infant if applicable, a multi-purpose tool, personal hygiene items including toilet paper, cell phone chargers, extra cash, blankets, maps of the area and emergency contact information.
- Be informed. Learn how officials contact people in the area you are planning to visit in case of an emergency.
- Let family or friends know where you are going and the route you plan to take to get there.
- Arrive at where you plan to watch the eclipse at least a day ahead of time. Heavy traffic congestion is anticipated on major highways before and after the eclipse event.
- Keep your gas tank at least half full so you don't run out of gas while stuck in traffic.
- Check the weather forecast ahead of time and throughout the day, especially in areas prone to severe weather.
- Dress appropriately so you can adjust for changes in weather conditions. It could be very hot.
- Create an emergency plan. Determine a location to meet in case someone gets separated from your group, and where to go if severe weather occurs.
- Because cell service may be overwhelmed, print out your directions. Cellular service can be spotty in some areas, so a road map may also be helpful.
- Know where you're staying at night. Hotel rooms along the eclipse route are mostly sold out, and rentals are extremely high in some cities. Plan to camp if necessary, but be aware that campgrounds requiring reservations are mostly full already.
- When viewing the eclipse, remember, looking directly at the sun is unsafe. For steps to take to observe a solar eclipse safely, please refer to information from NASA at https://eclipse2017.nasa.gov/safety.
Download free Red Cross apps
- The Red Cross "Emergency" app can help keep you and your loved ones safe with instant access to large-scale event tips, weather alerts as well as the location of any open Red Cross shelters.
- The Red Cross First Aid App puts instant access to information on handling the most common first aid scenarios at your fingertips including heat emergencies. Download these apps by searching for 'American Red Cross' in your app store or at redcross.org/apps.

As our yearly month of strawberry bliss comes to an end, I would like to take a moment to pay tribute to a dish that might be the most commonly associated with strawberries: strawberry shortcake. America boasts a variety of versions of this beloved dessert.
Like most food origins, the history of strawberry shortcake has been mottled by time. Some accounts of the recipe call for berries to be wedged, sandwichlike, within a split biscuit, while others have strawberries between layers and then iced with cake frosting. Over time, whipped cream replaced cake frosting, and the recipe for and type of dough changed from family to family.
In general, shortcakes are more like slightly sweetened biscuits than the yellowish-orange sponge cakes that are sold in the produce aisle of the grocery store. The term, "short," as in shortcake and shortbread refers to the crumbly texture, as opposed to the "longer" texture found in flaky pastries such as puff pastries or croissants. The "lengths" are of gluten strands that form during the working of the dough.
Shortcakes, like biscuits, can be made with butter, lard, vegetable shortening or any other fat that is solid at room temperature. The fat is blended with the dry ingredients, which include flour, sugar, salt and some type of chemical leavening (baking soda or powder).
The liquid used can be milk, cream, buttermilk or even just water if nothing else is available. Overmixing can cause the shortcakes to be tough and hard instead of crumbly.
In the 1950s or '60s, my grandmother received a Crisco cookbook with the purchase of an oven.
After much use, this cookbook has long since itself crumbled like a shortcake; however, the majority of the original recipe has survived on a torn piece of notebook paper.
Mema's Strawberry Shortcake
2 cans evaporated milk, unopened 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 cups all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus �⁄ � cup, plus more as needed, divided 1 tablespoon baking powder � teaspoon kosher salt � cup vegetable shortening (or cold butter)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place one can of evaporated milk, as well as the beater(s) of an electric mixer, in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. In a small bowl, toss together strawberries and brown sugar. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Use a pastry cutter or 2 knives to cut the shortening (or butter) into the flour mixture until the fat is the size of peas or smaller.
Open the remaining can of evaporated milk and work into flour mixture in sections around the bowl, adding a splash at a time, to form a sticky dough. You might not use the whole can. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and fold the dough over onto itself a few times. Use a floured biscuit cutter to cut out rounds from the dough. Place each one right next to one another in a baking dish, sides touching. Brush with additional milk and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake until golden brown and the dough between each biscuit is slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
Meanwhile, remove the can of evaporated milk from the freezer and pour into a bowl. Whip with chilled beaters until soft peaks form (when the whisk is lifted from the whipped cream, a peak will form but not stand up stiffly.) While still beating, slowly add the remaining � ⁄ � cup sugar. Whip until medium/firm peaks form.
Split each shortcake in half, cover bottom half with strawberries and whipped milk, and top with remaining shortcake. Serve immediately.

New York: A synthetic version of the "hunger hormone" ghrelin might help limit the loss of appetite that can come with cancer chemotherapy, a small study from Japan suggests.
Ghrelin is a hormone secreted by the gut to boost appetite. Because of that, scientists have been studying it as a target in the obesity war, which has included work on an anti-obesity "vaccine" that inhibits ghrelin. But the research has met with little success so far.
Since the hormone spurs hunger, in theory, infusions of synthetic ghrelin could help prevent the sometimes severe appetite loss caused by cancer drugs.
In particular, a commonly used cancer drug called cisplatin often causes nausea, vomiting and appetite loss -- and cuts the body`s natural ghrelin levels.
For the new study, Japanese researchers tested the effects of ghrelin infusions in 41 patients undergoing cisplatin treatment for advanced cancer of the esophagus.
Half of the patients were randomly assigned to have ghrelin infusions twice a day, before their meals, over one week of chemotherapy. The rest were given infusions of saline.
In the end, the ghrelin patients maintained better appetites and were able to take in almost 50 percent more calories per day than patients given saline.
Overall, more than half of the saline group had nausea, versus one in five ghrelin patients. And while half of the saline group had anorexia -- significant appetite loss -- during chemo, only one in six ghrelin patients did.
Dr. Yuichiro Hiura and colleagues at Osaka University report their findings in the journal Cancer. The study was funded by a grant from the Japanese government.
It appears to be the first to show that ghrelin may help cancer patients being treated with cisplatin, so further studies are needed, the researchers say.
There is already a medication -- one that decreases the activity of the hormone serotonin -- that eases nausea and vomiting in the first 24 hours of cisplatin treatment, Hiura`s team notes.
But, they add, lingering nausea and appetite loss in the following days are still a challenge to control. So ghrelin could offer a way to help with those longer-term effects.
Intensive chemotherapy with multiple drugs, including cisplatin, is commonly used for advanced-stage cancer, Hiura`s team writes. But side effects may keep many patients from completing their treatment.
Ultimately, the researchers say, the goal is to make chemotherapy easier for patients to get through -- and, it`s hoped, improve the treatment`s effectiveness.

HOUSTON, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Curators at the Houston Zoo said they took a pair of cheetahs to a horse racing track to let them stretch their legs and sprint off their excess energy.
Beth Schaefer, the zoo's curator of primates and carnivores, said the zoo's two cheetahs, 5-year-old brothers Kito and Kiburi, were taken to the Sam Houston Race Park to let them cut loose and run at speeds of up to 65 mph, the Houston Chronicle reported Tuesday.
"They need about 600 feet," Schaefer said. "We don't have that straightaway anywhere on zoo grounds."
However, she said the fenced-in horse track was a perfect place for the cheetahs to tire themselves out.

Toyota Profit Doubles In Quarter
TOKYO (AP) — Toyota reports it more than doubled its quarterly profit. Cost cuts and better sales worked with a weakening yen to add momentum to the automaker's comeback. Last year Toyota reclaimed the title of world's top-selling automaker, and said today it expects the strong results to continue in its new business year that ends March 2014.

Used Car Review
2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid: Used Car Review
The 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid embodies all the good qualities of the gasoline-powered Fusion and bolsters them with an eco-friendly drivetrain that makes it one of the most fuel-efficient cars in its class. Offered only in sedan form, the Fusion Hybrid is sort of the anti-Prius, as it's sporty and sleek and provides the added security of a lockable trunk. With the exception of the engine shutting down every time the car comes to a stop, the driving experience behind the Hybrid's wheel is not far removed from that of its gasoline counterpart. Firm steering, good brakes, minimal body roll plus a comfortable and quiet cabin are the hallmarks of the Fusion Hybrid, as is stellar fuel economy. The car also features such uber-cool innovations as an LCD instrument cluster with an animated vine that sprouts new leaves as you drive more efficiently, and the marvelous Sync entertainment and communications system that allows voice control of iPods and cell phones.
Nearly identical to the 2010 Fusion Hybrid, the 2011 car sees only minor upgrades -- including the addition of HD radio to the available navigation system and blind spot mirror inserts on cars not equipped with the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS).
What We Like
Excellent fuel economy and reliability ratings; resale value; fun to drive; looks cool
What We Don't
Too many hard plastic surfaces and tiny buttons on the dash and door panels; problematic navigation system; pricey compared to non-hybrid model
Fuel Economy & Engine Specs
The Fusion Hybrid employs a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine and a 93-kilowatt electric motor -- meaning there are two power sources under the hood that can work individually or together, depending on speed and power demand. A highly efficient continuously variable transmission (CVT) sends power to the front wheels.
At highway speeds, the gasoline engine does most of the work; around town, the electric motor powers the car and the gasoline engine assists when an extra surge is required, or when the nickel-metal hydride battery pack needs recharging. The batteries also recharge when the car is decelerating, a process known as regenerative braking. Unlike most hybrids, which only operate in pure electric mode up to 25 miles per hour, the Fusion Hybrid can run solely on battery power at speeds up to 47 mph. The Environmental Protection Agency rates the 2011 Fusion at 41 miles per gallon in the city and 36 mpg on the highway.
Standard Features & Options
The Fusion Hybrid comes standard with dual-zone automatic air conditioning, keyless entry with external keypad, the Sync entertainment and communications system, power front seats, folding rear armrest with integrated cup holders, Ford's Reverse Sensing System rear park assist, a 110-volt outlet, Sirius satellite radio (requires subscription) and a premium sound system with 6-disc, MP3-compatible CD player. Standard safety equipment includes AdvanceTrac electronic traction and stability control plus front, front-side and side-curtain airbags.
Optional equipment includes a power sunroof, the BLIS, a 390-watt Sony 5.1 Surround Sound audio system and a hard drive-based, voice-activated navigation system with Sirius Traffic and Travel Link features.
The 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid is projected to retain strong resale values that are slightly higher than Toyota Camry hybrids, on par with the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic Hybrid, and much better than the Nissan Altima hybrid.
To get a good idea of the Fusion Hybrid's price range, we suggest using the Kelley Blue Book used-car values at KBB.com. You can also search the AutoTrader Classifieds to see what models are currently for sale in your area.
To date, there are no recalls to report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Safety Ratings & Warranties
Safety-wise, the Fusion Hybrid receives high praise from both NHTSA and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The government gives the Fusion Hybrid five stars (its highest rating) in driver and front-passenger frontal- and side-impact crash tests; rear-seat occupant protection scores slightly lower with four stars. IIHS gives the Fusion Hybrid a Good rating in its frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength tests, earning it a Top Safety Pick rating.
The Ford Fusion Hybrid left the factory with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty for the hybrid components, which include the high-voltage battery, CVT, the DC/DC converter, high-voltage battery connector, fan assembly, thermistor temperature-sensing probe, hybrid battery pack sensor module and the battery energy control module. Ford does offer extended warranties on its certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles, which includes seven years/100,000 miles on the powertrain from the date the car entered service, and a 12-month/12,000 mile comprehensive plan for cars no longer covered by the factory basic warranty. CPO cars also undergo a rigorous 172-point inspection to repair or replace any part not up to Ford standards. The CPO plan has many additional benefits, such as a free Carfax vehicle report, 24-hour roadside assistance and rental car reimbursement.
Other Cars to Consider
Toyota Camry Hybrid -- The Camry Hybrid offers the same interior room as the Fusion Hybrid, but its dash is not as busy and the seating a bit softer. However, the Camry Hybrid can't match the Ford's fuel economy or trunk space.
Toyota Prius Hybrid -- The Prius has less passenger volume than the Fusion, but it has much better fuel economy ratings and a more practical hatchback design.
Honda Civic Hybrid -- The Civic Hybrid has a rather small rear seat and is not as much fun to drive as the Fusion Hybrid. On the flip side, the Honda touts a superior highway fuel economy figure of 43 mpg vs. 36 mpg for the Fusion.
AutoTrader's Advice
We really like this car, but if you need to carry large objects (or just enjoy the idea of being able to carry large objects), then the massive hatch and folding rear seat of the Toyota Prius must factor into your final decision. If cargo space is not a concern, however, then the Ford Fusion Hybrid's cool styling, amazing suite of technology, entertainment equipment and impressive fuel economy put it at the top of our hybrid must-have list.

Michigan closer to getting Darian Cooper?
Theres a rivals article that says something about Darian Cooper talking to RR and that he now has Michigan higher than previously. Obviously this couldn't have happened recently due to the silent period unless he called RR. But it seems the news is getting increasingly positive for him and we sure could use him!
Anyone with a rivals account care to summarize?
Sorry if this is not news. Im taylored.

Early Photography in Greece and the Mediterraneanhttp://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/digitized_collections/photography_greece/index.htmlGetty MuseumPrinter-Friendly VersionReviewed by: Jack ChengIndependent Scholar March 2004
This website presents 200 photographs of sculpture and archaeology primarily from the classical era. The photos are invaluable for any introduction to classical Greece, especially lectures that seek to place archaeology in a historical context. These images do not have the detail or all the angles necessary for a study of a given temple, but they allow the viewer to understand the recent history of these monuments. The photographs can also be analyzed as documents of their age—idealized portraits of the inspirations for the neo-classical 19th century.
The Gary Edwards Collection consists of more than 1,000 early photographs; 20 percent of the collection is available for viewing on the website. Edwards arranged his collection in categories like concentric circles around the Parthenon: images of the Athenian Acropolis, other monuments in Athens, other monuments in Greece, and other monuments outside of Greece. There is a last category called simply, Ancient Sculpture" that includes objects found both within and outside of Greece, as well as some artwork whose origin is uncertain.
The quality of the images is excellent for 19th-century photography, a rather larger caveat. They are all black-and-white (or sepia). Given technical advances in cameras, such as the quality of the lenses, one cannot expect these photographs to express the clarity of modern cameras. Some, however, do. An anonymous photo of the Parthenon Frieze for example, captures a wide range of tones giving the seated figures volume and shadow, and drawing the eye to the heavily pleated robes draped around them.
The photos show how buildings were made and how they have been remade. The images of the Acropolis without the modern metropolis of Athens surrounding and encroaching upon it are revelations; here is the city on the hill that Pericles knew. Most recent slides of the Parthenon have scaffolding in the background (or foreground). The Edwards photos were taken before any reconstruction was done and thus are open to the debate as to whether or not architectural reconstruction leads to a "truer" monument. In one of the Parthenon photos, blocks from the temple are lined up on the ground, presumably sorted to be eventually reused in the reconstruction. The state of the building in the 19th century will also encourage discussion on the removal of the sculpture by Lord Elgin from the Acropolis to the British Museum. Greece has lobbied for years for the return of the "Elgin marbles" and the arguments against their return include the poor state of the site at the time they were taken—that Elgin protected the sculptures by transporting them away from the Acropolis.
Most of the photographs focus on Athens and her Acropolis. This is generally not a problem since these are the most canonical buildings and most likely included in curricula. This concentration means that there are a few photographs that are taken from essentially the same spot.
This repetition reminds us that this is not a database of Greek monuments but a catalog of photographs—photographs that helped shape the way we think about classical Greek art (see "Sight-seeing: Photography of the Middle East and its Audiences,1840-1940" on the use of photos as travel surrogates). Undoubtedly, the idea of classical sculpture as virginal white, unpainted stone derived, at least in part, from photographs such as these.
The information about each photograph is detailed and informative, listing the name of the monument, the title of the photograph, the date of subject of the photo (title, site, date, artist if known), and then the photographer and date of photograph if known, as well as the photographic medium. This works particularly well with the Athenian monuments, but for the sites and objects outside of Greece, the field names become inconsistent. "Monument" is used for the name of the site (the island of Aegina, for example), and "Title" becomes the name of the monument (Temple of Aphaia). Or for sculpture, the museum that owns a given piece is entered in "Title."
Given the size of the online catalog, the navigation is easy to use, especially for browsing. There is no search function, however, so looking for a specific site or sculpture may require a little clicking around. The Edwards Collection is of particular use to those interested in the history of the Acropolis of Athens. Photographs outside that city could also serve as contrasts to modern images of reconstructed sites such as Ephesus in Turkey.

The conservation of our resources," former president Theodore Roosevelt once said, "is the fundamental question before this nation."
The sentiment seems like a modern reaction to a shrinking natural world but, a century ago, Roosevelt saw an urgent need to protect wild places. He had witnessed the decline and near extinction of the buffalo, decimation of redwood forests and the destruction caused by rampant mining. The world population at that time was about a billion and a half. Now, with 7 billion and counting, President Barack Obama appears set on a conservation plan of his own, one seemingly tailored for the modern world, and it starts in Colorado.
The American Great Outdoors Initiative is a nationwide conservation plan to get more Americans outside, not only to instill in them an appreciation for open and wild places and a desire to protect them, but to create outdoors-related jobs and stimulate tourism. The Great Outdoors Initiative aligns somewhat disparate government agencies like the Departments of Interior (DOI) and Agriculture (USDA) with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Council on Environmental Quality in order to conserve two or more key wilderness areas in each state. Colorado's Front Range turns out to be the testing grounds for the new plan.
The Rocky Mountain Greenway, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced last May, "will connect the Denver Greenway System to the three National Wildlife Refuges in the Denver metro region and, eventually, to Rocky Mountain National Park." In his speech, which took place at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Rocky Mountain Arsenal visitor center, Salazar said the plan would enhance the Denver metro region's connections to the natural landscapes and counties surrounding it — and result in increased tourism spending.
The Rocky Mountain Greenway is one of three Colorado projects to be constructed under the Great Outdoors Initiative. Connecting three major National Wildlife Refuges — Rocky Flats, Two Ponds and Rocky Mountain Arsenal — with many smaller state parks and recreation areas, the plan creates a large wildlife corridor with 140 miles of unbroken trails in some 40,000 acres of open space. The plan also calls for water quality testing and improvement and eventual extension as far as Rocky Mountain National Park.
Urban areas are beautified with the addition of parks, and citizens benefit from outdoor activity, education and clean water, but there are real monetary benefits, too, according to the Great Outdoors Initiative. The plan cites the successful rehab of Confluence and Commons parks from dumping grounds for garbage and raw sewage in the '70s to places that enhance the quality of life of Denver's residents and attract tourists today.
"If there's a system of trails to link national parks together, it would benefit communities around that trail system, absolutely," says Maryann Mahoney, executive director of the Boulder Convention and Visitors Bureau. "The National Park Service just released data about total visitor spending in communities in and surrounding national parks, and it's significant."
Very significant, in fact. According to EPA figures, the national parks draw 280 million visitors each year, provide 250,000 related jobs to Americans and generate $12 billion in visitor spending.
"Outdoor recreation contributes $730 billion to the U.S. economy, and Colorado's active outdoor recreation contributes more than $10 billion annually and supports more than 100,000 jobs," says Avery Stonich of the Outdoor Industry Association (OIA), an outdoor recreation trade association based in Boulder. OIA estimates $289 billion of economic activity is generated nationally by peripherals like gas, food, taxes and retail sales and services in a ripple effect dependent on tourism at public lands and largely benefiting small business.
"People come to Boulder and they want an activity," says Bill Leuchten, who owns Boulder's Front Range Anglers. "They may go horseback riding, ballooning, hiking, or they may try fishing."
Leuchten's concern is with stream quality, and he says he feels that federal money would be best spent improving habitat in rivers like the Platte, which flows through much of the Greenway.
"Stream improvement would bring in revenue, no doubt," Leuchten says. "Good fisheries bring people from all over the world."
Leuchten employs six full-time retail employees and dozens of part time and private contractors as guides. He is one of many business owners whose livelihood depends upon sound conservation measures.
In financially stressful times, any advantage to local economies is precious, but there are skeptics.
"I think bringing people out to see wild animals and nature is pretty much always a good idea, especially if they can't afford to do it otherwise," says Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity, but he cautions that the process needs to be managed carefully.
"You're going to have to be smart about it and think about what kind of infrastructure you're creating to do that, and make sure that you aren't damaging nature to do it."
There have been many cases where conservation strategies aimed at protecting environments through stimulating economic gains have backfired, causing greater damage to the environment, he says.
"There's a limit to how far you can go with the argument that protecting the environment has economic value," Suckling says. "There certainly is economic value, but ultimately, nature needs to be protected because we have an ethical responsibility to do so, regardless of economic benefits."
