Design Solutions: Incorporating Vintage Elements With a More Modern Style
While I absolutely covet many of the elements featured here, I understand that everyone's taste is a little different, and some people might not choose green tile or wood paneling or shag carpets if they had the choice. But whether you're renting or buying, and whether you love them or hate them, here are some ideas for making vintage features work with your modern style.
- Paul and Tyra's Eclectic Charmer: When you inherit a roomful of colorful tile, black and white are your best friends. The lights, mirror, art, and accessories here all work with the tile, while keeping things looking modern.
- Chelsea & Alex's Balanced Style Blend: Once again, that is a lot of yellow tile, but they made it work by keeping accessories and paint all in the same white-black-gold color scheme.
- Sharon's Bathroom Before & After: Sharon took a different approach to her beige (taupe? camel?) tile and sink, bringing in greys and subtle golds to work harmoniously with the original colors.
- Donna & Lyla's Tiled Wonder: The amazing 1930s Vitrolite (milky green glass tile) is brought into the 21st century by way of stainless steel appliances, lighting fixtures, and stabby knife holder.
- Sophie & Scott's Bright Retro Retreat: Stabby knife holder to the rescue again! The home's original tile, paneling, and cabinetry seem fresh because they're bright white, and colorful accents are the perfect combination of modern and retro.
6. Kristen & Kourosh's 70s Modern California Beach House: This fantastic home boasts a sunken living room, wall-to-wall shag carpet, and a futuristic fireplace — it's got it all! Beautifully simple art and accessories keep things clean and up-to-date.
7. Mark Maček's Modern, Warm & Woodsy: Please note — this is the "gorgeous shiplap siding" that he discovered under the original paneling, but I thought it could still serve as inspiration for those of us dealing with the hideous stuff. This entire house tour is amazing.
8. Robin & Clay's Whimsical Capitol Hill Home: My instinct is to approach wood paneling with a Scandinavian-ish aesthetic (whites, greys, minimal) so I wanted to share another way to go. As one commenter wrote, "Such a creative mix of materials in that bedroom — the natural, earthy wood paneling juxtaposed with the bright, cheery Marimekko bedding. Unexpected and fun."
9. Andy & Andrew's Vintage Modern: Here's an answer to that age-old question: what to do with that weird white-washed wood panelling? A combination of retro accessories and panelling-hiding art and mirrors, of course!
10. Mark's Original Mid Century Modern Home: When in doubt, embrace it. Mark was lucky enough to acquire some of the original furniture from the original owners, and augmented those pieces with a shaggy rug and countless found/thrifted treasures.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against Mellanox Technologies, Ltd. ("Mellanox" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:MLNX) and certain of its officers. The class action filed in United States District Court, Southern District of New York, and docketed under 13-CV-1047, is on behalf of a class consisting of all persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired securities of Mellanox between April 19, 2012 and January 2, 2013, both dates inclusive of (the "Class Period"). This class action seeks to recover damages against the Company and certain of its officers and directors as a result of alleged violations of the federal securities laws pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
If you are a shareholder who purchased Mellanox securities during the Class Period, you have until April 8, 2013 to ask the Court to appoint you as Lead Plaintiff for the class. A copy of the Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com. To discuss this action, contact Robert S. Willoughby at email@example.com or 888.476.6529 (or 888.4-POMLAW), toll free, x237. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to include their mailing address and telephone number.
Mellanox Technologies, Ltd., a fabless semiconductor company, produces and supplies interconnect products for computing, storage, and communication applications in the computing, Web 2.0, storage, financial services, database, and cloud markets.
The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations and prospects. Specifically, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that statements regarding the purportedly strong and consistent demand for the Company's product offerings concealed what Mellanox knew of the advanced development pace of Intel's own InfiniBand product offerings and the negative impact that would have on both Mellanox's sales growth and Intel's demand for Mellanox product offerings. Defendants also concealed that they were receiving a deluge of customer complaints about Mellanox's own Infini and product offerings during the Class Period, and the adverse impact that was having on sales demand and costs. As a result, Mellanox's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period, trading above $120 per share in intraday trading by September 6, 2012, allowing several insiders to cash out by selling millions of dollars of Mellanox stock at fraud-inflated prices.
However, through a series of partial disclosures made between September 7, 2012 and January 3, 2013, the market learned that the Company's business was not as Defendants had portrayed throughout the Class Period, causing significant declines in the price of Mellanox stock.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 70 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

The Millikin Big Blue football team lost 34-33 in an overtime thriller at #14 Illinois Wesleyan University on Sept. 29 in Bloomington, Ill.
In the overtime Illinois Wesleyan went up 34-27 on a four yard run by Sean Conley.
On Millikin's possession the Big Blue scored a touchdown on a pass from Matt Holmes to freshman Sean Maloney from 17 yards out. Playing on the road against a Top 20 team, Millikin Coach Patrick Etherton made to bold call to go for the win with a two-point conversion. On Millikin's first attempt at two the Titans were called for defensive holding. On Millikin's final try Holmes pass into the corner of the end zone fell incomplete.
Millikin had a strong first half and took a seven point lead into the locker room at halftime. Millikin built up a 27-13 advantage early in the third quarter on a Holmes to tight end Avery Aina touchdown six yard touchdown pass. The play was set up by a Christian Silva interception that gave Millikin the ball at the Titan 11 yard line.
Illinois Wesleyan would then score 14 unanswered points to tie the game at 27-27 with 1:38 remaining in the game. The Titan rally got started by a Rob Gallik to Alex Garvey four yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter. The game tying score game on a five yard run from TJ Stinde. A missed 44 yard Millikin field goal in the fourth quarter would also prove costly for the Big Blue.
On the Big Blue's first drive of the game Millikin was stopped on the Titan 20 yards. Illinois Wesleyan then went to work driving the length of the field. The Big Blue defense stiffened in the Red Zone and the momentum of the game shifted in Millikin's favor after a missed Titan field goal attempt.
On its next possession, Millikin scored on a 61 yard pass play from Holmes to Erik Tobey. On the play the ball tipped off the hands of the Big Blue's Sean Dunning and a heads up Tobey pulled down the catch behind the Titan defense and raced to the end zone.
After a failed onside kick attempt by Millikin, the Titans scored on a 27 yard pass play from Gallick to Garvey to pull ahead 7-6.
Millikin then answered back on a 12 play 72 yard drive that ended in a Holmes to Alex Chiligiris four yard touchdown pass to make it 13-7 Millikin early in the second quarter.
Later in the quarter a Paul Panno interception gave Illinois Wesleyan the ball at the Millikin five yard line. On the Titans first play Big Blue linebacker Jake Hazelton stripped ball carrier Stinde and Millikin's Andy Roth came up with the fumble recovery. Millikin then drove 87 yards and went up 20-7 on a six yard run by Sean Dunning. The drive was kept alive after a heads up Jake Palmer recovered a Dunning fumble at the Titan two-yard line.
Illinois Wesleyan closed out the half with a Gallik to Garvey four yard touchdown pass to make it 20-13 Big Blue at the half.
In addition to the one point difference on the scoreboard the stats show a very close ballgame with Millikin gaining 449 yards of total offense compared to 442 for the Titans.
Holmes finished the game 24-33-1 passing for 257 yards and four touchdowns. Holmes also accounted for 108 yards rushing. Dunning had 81 yards rushing and one touchdown. Tobey had six catches for 86 yards and one touchdown and Tommy Eichenauer had six catches for 67 yards.
Gallik was 22-31-1 passing for 210 yards and three touchdown passes.
Garvey had eight catches for 63 yards and three scores. Stinde had 180 yards and a touchdown for the Titans.
Marquette Moore led Millikin with 13 tackles. Silva had 10.
Millikin is now 3-1, 0-1 while the Titans go to 4-0, 1-0. The Big Blue will host North Central College on Oct. 6 for a 1 p.m. kickoff during Millikin's Homecoming festivities.

These were awesome kits to work with! Here's my LO:
a layout I made using some pictures I took at Queen Bee Gardens in Lovell, Wyoming while we were there for my great grandpa's funeral in 2007
You can find it in the gallery here.
I'm totally new here and I'm wondering if there is a theme to the challenge. Also, what is a "blog train"?
@Liz: A blog train is where you collect coordination pieces to a kit from various blogs. This challenge requires that you use those pieces. You can see here for more details: http://www.pixelscrapper.com/forums/digital-scrapbooking/digital-scrapbooking-discussion/ps-april-blog-train-list
Just got mine posted in my gallery. I would put it here but I haven't figured out how to do it yet. Do I have to host my picture hosted on another site or can I link to the gallery here? I have tried both way but it still doesn't show up. I guess I'll keep trying.
@Michelle: There are directions here for sharing layouts in the forum: http://www.pixelscrapper.com/forum/challenges/how-share-layouts-forums
Great layouts everyone! Thanks for participating! I've given you all 10 community points. And congrats to our random winner Denise C.

Improving your health since 2000
It's never too late to start exercising. Exercise has benefits at any age.
Don't worry if you've never exercised, or if you stopped exercising for some reason. Being physically active can help you continue to do the things you enjoy and stay independent as you age. In addition, the right kind of regular exercise can reduce your chance of heart disease, diabetes, and falls.
An effective exercise program needs to be fun and keep you motivated. It helps to have a goal. Your goal might be:
Your exercise program also may be a way for you to socialize. Taking exercise classes or exercising with a friend are both good ways to be social.
You may have a hard time starting an exercise routine. Once you do start, though, you will begin to notice the benefits, including improved sleep and self-esteem.
Exercise and physical activity can also:
Always talk to your health care provider before starting an exercise program.
Exercises can be grouped into four main categories, although many exercises fit into more than one category:
Aerobic exercises increase your breathing and heart rate. These exercises help your heart, lungs, and blood vessels. They may prevent or delay many diseases, such as diabetes, colon and breast cancers, and heart disease.
Improving your muscle strength can help you climb stairs, carry groceries, and stay independent. You can build muscle strength by:
Balance exercises help prevent falls, which is a concern for older adults. Many exercises that strengthen the muscles in the legs, hips, and lower back will improve your balance. It is often best to learn balance exercises from a physical therapist before starting on your own.
Balance exercises may include:
Stretching can help your body stay flexible. To stay limber:

Brenda Cannon Henley: The immense value of volunteers
I clearly remember interviewing Paula O'Neal the first time for an article on Some Other Place in Beaumont when I arrived in Texas. Paula told me how the name came to be and I have always remembered that story. She said when people who needed help in the area applied to various agencies, they would be told that the particular help they needed was not available for them through that means. Often, the statements would end with, "You'll have to go to 'some other place," so Paula and others set out to create that 'other place' that could provide food, shelter, clothing, help with utilities, and so many other things residents of our area have depended upon for so many years. In my opinion, Some Other Place, and its highly prized staff of faithful volunteers, are the epitome of what giving back to the community is all about. I also interviewed C.W. Conn, founder of Conn's, as he served meals to the homeless one Thanksgiving Day at Some Other Place. This man, with all of his wealth and ability, believed that every human being ought to be willing to invest in his fellow man and woman, and he did so in person, not by writing a check to the needy. That made a deep impression on my heart and life. He told me it was a highlight of his year and his daughters verified this fact.
What is a volunteer? Most definitions state that it is a person who offers himself or herself for a service or undertaking willingly and without pay. In other words, they do not expect to be reimbursed or repaid for their investment and effort.
Paula shared something else with me during that first of many interviews. She said ever so sincerely, "Brenda, I can tell you that you can look this world over and you will never find a community or an area, or a people, more generous and kind to others in their giving than you will right here in Southeast Texas." Paula added, "I've been doing this a long, long time, and when we have a need that has to be met for us to continue our work or expand into another area, I simply ask. I tell the people what the need is, and pray and work, and it is usually met in a timely manner."
I sat with a young executive director of an organization that deals with needy children in our court system. She had inherited quite a bugaboo of problems, money issues, and a dire need for volunteers. She was discouraged and Satan was working on her good intentions and exciting plans. "Why won't people help us?" she cried. "I have prayed about the matter, asked good people, showed them the need, and begged them to get involved," she stressed. "I think it is because we cannot pay for their services. It seems that most people won't even look at a project without knowing that they will be paid."
This particular group of good people works within the court system to help children who would not otherwise have representation. A well-trained volunteer is assigned by a judge to each child and they get to know the family, speak up for the child's best interest, and made a recommendation to the court. It takes time. It takes effort. It takes commitment. But, oh, the rewards that come when a young boy or girl is helped to get on the right track for life. These volunteers help to build life bridges that will carry that child to adulthood and becoming a contributing member of society.
Consider today, please, the extreme importance of being willing to volunteer even a few hours a month, or a few dollars from your budget to help those less fortunate than you.
"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child." – Forest E. Witcraft

CNBC's Jim Cramer said Thursday the current rally has "been one for the books," and although some big names have warned of a bubble, several areas of the market should encourage investors that the rally is for real.
"My take on this run is, it's very unusual to have the cyclicals, the techs, the financials and the drugs all move at once. It's reminiscent of other times where we saw a radical revaluation in the market," Cramer said on "Squawk on the Street."
"It is important to recognize that the S&P is only at 15 times earnings, because the alternative, the bond market continues to be a place where you can't get any return," he said. "I am amazed every day at this rally. Amazed."

Recipe: Maple & Squash Pumpkin Pie Popsicles
Last night I stood in my kitchen mashing freshly roasted squash with a little cream and a few other assorted ingredients when my husband comes in. He was shocked to learn what he thought was going to be a delicious side dish was instead going to be a popsicle... that tasted like pie! This dessert is the perfect make ahead, zero fuss dish for your holiday parties that's packed with pumpkin pie goodness!
There are several great reasons to love this recipe. For starters the maple syrup is the only sugar added and it's relatively low on cream — plus it's mainly made of vegetable! It also doesn't end up dripping down your popsicle stick (which then runs down your arm and if you're a kid ends up on the sofa... the dog... and so forth) and is great to snack on while chatting with company. Lastly, these things smell amazing. Like seriously amazing, pumpkin pie and then some, plus, they taste as good as they smell!
If you're not big into pumpkin pie spice you can check out this recipe for making your own, which works well for all you "dash of this and dash of that type people."
As you'll see above, I don't own a popsicle mold, but I did have a small metal pan available and some chopsticks (totally something MacGyver would use right?) and it worked out just fine, so don't be scared to get creative if you don't have molds either — you could even pour it straight in a loaf pan and eat it with a spoon if you wanted! It doesn't have to be the prettiest popsicle at the party, just the tastiest! Give it a try this weekend and watch the crowds go wild!
Maple & Squash Pumpkin Pie Popsicles
1 medium butternut squash, about 2 pounds
1/2 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup cream
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
To start, peel, cube and roast your squash. We're not going to say exactly how much squash because every squash is different. Pick one that's medium in size and hasn't grown out long like something odd and phallic (you know what I'm talkin' about). Use just enough oil to coat the squash in the roasting process and allow to cool slightly.
Add squash to a medium size bowl and mash with a potato masher. This is great for the kids to do as you really want to grind down the fibers of the squash. (If you want to cheat you can toss it in the food processor and pulse for 10 seconds and then transfer back to the bowl). Add remaining ingredients and continue mash/mixing until thoroughly combined. It's ok if it's still a little chunky.
Place mixture in popsicle molds and freeze at least 5 hours. I used plastic wrap thinking it would help my mixture release from the mold and it turned out to be totally unneeded! When firm, run molds under hot water (if needed) and slide out your new tasty desserts and enjoy!
* Note: The amount of popsicles this recipe will make depends on the size of your mold. This made 3 fat and chubby servings that easily would have made 6 in a "real" mold.

The Hair Loss Curse[2] (Calvorio[1]) is a curse that removes the victim's hair or headdress[3].
This spell is one of the many topics covered in Curses and Counter-Curses, a work by Professor Vindictus Viridian, along with Jelly-Legs and Tongue-Tying[2].
It can be bought at Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment in Diagon Alley, along with a number of other spells[1].
The incantation is most probably derived from the Latin "calvus", meaning "bald".

Currently being tested in South America by Budweiser Brazil, the beer company has combined QR codes, NFC technology, smartphone cameras and the traditional paper beer cup to encourage friend connections over Facebook. Located at the bottom of the Buddy Cup, Budweiser Brazil has attached a microchip in addition to printing a QR code. When someone at a bar or event is handed the cup prior to getting it filled with a beer, they have to take a picture of the bottom of the cup or glass with their smartphone camera. Likely tied into a custom smartphone application, the cup is linked to the user's personal Facebook account.
When two people drinking in the bar tap their Buddy Cups together in a toasting motion, a red LED light at the top of the cup will activate indicating that the information exchange is happening.
At this point, the custom smartphone application will automatically post on each person's Facebook wall stating "I just became friends with 'Person's Name'. Drinking with the Buddy Cup at 'Person's Location'." According to the promotional video, the toasting action authorizes a friend connection on Facebook, thus eliminating the need to connect on the social network after leaving the bar, party or event.
This concept is extremely similar to the Bump application for smartphones, basically using proximity to make a connection and trade contact information. At this time, Budweiser Brazil is testing the cup at sponsored events like concerts, festivals and other large gatherings. Hypothetically, this concept could be applied to other social networks as well. For instance, if someone was attending a trade show, perhaps toasting with someone else at the event would trade LinkedIn profile information to make a new professional contact. At this time, no plans have been announced by Budweiser in regards to testing the Buddy Cup in the United States or any other countries.

As traditionally us Finns celebrate Christmas today (Turku declared Christmas peace/Joulurauha at 10:00 GMT today), I wanted to take this opportunity to thank all my readers and sponsors for the past year. 2012 has seen the blog grow as it has done. We have published more reviews and have a pipeline of more to come. We have been critical of the NHL lockout as a long-time fan of the league and we have tried to examine the damage it has had to its brand. We have talked about concussions and of my own games and experiences in the world of hockey.
What initially started as a bit of fun and as an online game diary has grown into something that thousands upon thousands of people read. Did not expect that would ever happen, but here we are. There are some plans that we are looking to do in the new year and a few things that I want to try out with the blog, including more guest writers and perhaps try and incorporate some video content as well, that is if people want to see my ugly mug.
From the team point of view, I'd like to wish all my team mates and our fans and supporters in Bristol and abroad a great festive season. Look forward to seeing you all in January.
Either way, I wanted to thank you all for the past 12 months and wish you a Merry Christmas and a successful new year 2013
