December 17, 2004
LOS ANGELES - In a dramatic finale, Kelly Perdew ('95) was hired by Donald Trump to be the billionaire-host's newest protégé on the hit show The Apprentice. Perdew was given a choice of assignments for his apprenticeship. He opted to work side-by-side with Trump himself on the real estate mogul's latest and greatest New York City development project, instead of assisting in the building of Trump's casino-condo-resort property in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The final challenge for Perdew was the staging of a charity event. He organized a polo match to benefit Alzheimer's disease, while his opponent staged a basketball game to benefit a reading program. For his part, Trump attended both events and consulted with candidates dismissed earlier in the season, before facing Perdew's rival and uttering the program's catch phrase, "You're fired," then turning to Perdew to tell him he had earned the position.
Perdew was the popular favorite to become the new apprentice leading into the finale. He received the endorsement of four of the top business leaders in the world: Alan Jope, COO of Unilever HPC, North America; Dawn Hudson, President of Pepsi-Cola, North America; Alan "Ace" Greenberg, Chairman Executive Committee of Bear Stearns; and Robert Kraft, Owner of the New England Patriots in a prior challenge and some Internet surveys suggested he was a 4-1 favorite among viewers.
Prior to his participation on The Apprentice, the 37-year old Perdew raised over $5M in equity financing for three start-up companies, and as the acting president led the sale of one of those start-ups (eteamz.com: the largest amateur sports portal on the web at the time) for eight figures to a company that has since filed for an IPO. He is the Co-Founder and Chairman of a motor enthusiast community website called MotorPride.com, and is currently the President of CoreObjects, an outsourced software development company based in Los Angeles. He earned an MBA from UCLA Anderson and a JD from the UCLA School of Law simultaneously.

The Supreme Court's historic rulings on same-sex marriages prompted jubilation among Dallas gay-rights supporters and urgent condemnation from conservative groups.
The predictably sharp split on the decisions handed down by the high court confirmed marriage equality for gays and lesbians remains a bitterly divisive issue in Texas.
For now, though, the decisions will have limited impact on the state's gay and lesbian couples, political experts say.
"Texas still bars couples from same-sex marriage, and this decision doesn't change that," said Cary Franklin, a constitutional law professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott's office declined to comment on the effect of the rulings.
One Democratic lawmaker, Fort Worth state Rep. Lon Burnam, immediately vowed to reintroduce legislation to legalize same-gender marriages in Texas. The state became the 19th to adopt a constitutional ban of same-sex unions in 2005.
"It's a perfect opportunity to refile my marriage-equality bill, and that's the first thing I will do on Monday," said Burnam, who filed a similar bill in February that died in committee.
The bill cannot advance in the Texas Legislature's special session unless Gov. Rick Perry, an ardent opponent of same-sex marriage, adds it to the agenda.
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that married same-sex couples were entitled to federal benefits and, by declining to decide a case from California, effectively allowed same-sex marriages there.
UT's Franklin said the high court's rulings may inspire lawsuits, anti-discrimination policies and scrutiny of same-sex marriage bans nationwide.
"People in Texas didn't immediately gain any rights, but the court issued a decision that talked about the importance of equality for couples," she said.
Ken Klukowski, director of the Center for Religious Liberty at the Washington-based Family Research Council, said the Supreme Court's decision "will open the floodgates to litigation."
"There are so many legal issues where marriage comes up and we're such a mobile nation," he said. "The opportunities for legal and public-policy conflicts are limitless."
The Rev. Dawson Taylor, executive minister of the Cathedral of Hope in Oak Lawn, said the decision foretells a day when same-sex marriages will be honored across the country.
Among the nation's largest predominantly gay and lesbian congregations, the church has held same-sex marriage ceremonies since it opened in the 1970s.
"God smiles on the weddings that we perform," Taylor said. "They are equal in the eyes of God, and that's what we recognize."
Two weeks ago, Taylor presided over his first legal same-sex wedding ceremony when he flew to New York to marry a gay couple from Austin.
"It was an exhilarating experience," he said. "I wish every person who was opposed to marriage equality could have been there."
But other churches lamented the court's decision, labeling it a threat to traditional values and the definition of marriage between one man and one woman.
Bishop Kevin Farrell of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas joined other U.S. bishops in calling the court's rulings "a tragic day for marriage and our nation."
The Rev. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas said the Supreme Court devalued marriage and "caved in to political correctness."
"Our government has always recognized the right to restrict marriage in some ways," he said. "Polygamists can't marry. Siblings can't marry. Fifteen-year-olds can't marry."
The Rev. William Lawrence, dean of Southern Methodist University's Perkins School of Theology, said he expects many pastors will address the court rulings in sermons Sunday.
The United Methodist Church, which oversees the Perkins School, prohibits same-sex marriage. But not all congregants agree, he said.
"There will be people who think the Supreme Court got it right and some who believe the Supreme Court got it wrong," Lawrence said.
After a celebratory rally Wednesday night at the Legacy of Love monument in Oak Lawn, Jacob Gerber got down on one knee and proposed to Brandon Kirk, his partner of six years.
The couple had a marriage ceremony two years ago at the Cathedral of Hope, but now that their union would be federally recognized, they plan to wed in a state that allows gay marriages.
The couple, wrapped in a rainbow-colored flag, hugged and said the fight for gay rights has a long way to go.
"Texas is next. We still have a lot of work to do in our local governments," Gerber said. "We're such a huge state. It's going to be a big fight for us."

Microsoft Drops ByAugust 14, 2003
update: and the link goes to Lloyd Dalton for his amusing answer. Thanks all for playing along!
Speculate away. Free link in my sidebar for a week to the most interesting answer.
Reader Comments
Hmm, possibly MSN-Bot?
All 7 were unique. It was a smallish range - .110 to .150, for example.
I've always been a conspiracy buff, and hey, free sidebar ranking on The Mezzoblue! How can you resist.
Ok, here goes.
You know how IBM is called "big blue"? Well, you can't deny the similarity between that and "mezzo blue" can you? "Mezzo" also comes from the italian for middle, or half, or moderate.
IBM (big blue) is starting to get a bit long in the tooth and past their prime, as is microsoft. I think that microsoft, was researching domain names to buy out for a new corporate image, which puts them up as a moderate version of big blue, in that they are as evil and gargantuan as IBM, but only *half* as likely to be as long in the tooth (or one could say, "moderately interesting") as IBM is today.
Or you may be in the midst of a scobleization :)
His name was Tantek…
Maybe some Microsoft Graphic Desigers are looking for inspiration for the redesign of microsoft.com :)
looking at the timestamps, they didn't stay too long…
what browser was the visitor using though, that would be of more interest methinks…if it was something like "IE7b Longhorn Alpha Build 0.1 (Mozilla compatible)" or whatever it would certainly add flavour to the post ;)
They are just trying to find out how bad IE really is.
Or maybe there is a ieZenGarden in the works (just like they tried to copy the Apple Switch campaign).
Well the Microsoft user in me (Win XP Pro and Office) hopes that the visits will atleast bring to their attention the css compatibilty issues with their browser. I guess I am an eternal optimist.
MS emp. 1: Hey Bob, check out this zengarden site!
MS emp 2: Wow, some of these designs are really cool.
MS emp 3: Aren't you guys supposed to be fixing security holes?
MS emp 1: Yeah, we'll get to it. Ooh, take a look at Zunflower!
MS emp 2: I wish these loaded faster. The web seems slow today for some reason.
Research for complete redesign of microsoft homepage in XHTML/CSS, with a firm goal to be standards compliant and accessible.
I can't believe I just said that either.
Bill got bored during a meeting, and started surfing the web on his wireless pocket PC.
Arc - nice try, but it's Zen Garden traffic…
Matt - I'm reading that as coming from Redmond.
Chuckie - That can't be a bad thing - http://www.zeldman.com/daily/0902b.html#prince
huphtur - love it.
redux - the time stamps track uniques, and it's not counting each request, just the latest. So I really don't know how long they stayed.
Sunny - designs that don't work in IE don't go up.
Lloyd - no doubt.
Will - you're a man of eternal optimism.
Bob - and passed along the URL to the 6 guys sitting next to him.
They were having a meeting about IE7 (each loading example sites on their Tablet PCs). One guy suggests that they focus on standards support. The head guy responds: (this is an actual quote from a Microsoft guy I asked about standards support in IE7)
"Why would you care about standards support? You can code things that work in IE, and that's fine - nobody really uses anything but IE, coding for all browsers is a waste of time. Now what would you rather have a development team doing, working on standards support or adding in cool proprietary things, like 3D powerpoint-style page transitions, that will make their web "experience" that much better?"
Dave - You sure they were not checking out 'mnemonic' in IE? Is there any way of finding out what browser they used? It will be really interesting if it was non IE!
They are looking for sites with the name CSS in the title, so they can sue them later because they think they own CSS.
I think they just want to know what REAL designers do, then scoff at us becuase they make tioo much money and could care less about standards.
Or maybe they're about to find the top 34 or so designers in the world and make them swim with cement shoes on… I call it the Bill "Godfather" Gates conspirisy. I say, we go to the matresses!
Ok, so during the blackout yesterday, "experts said the Internet may be trying to reroute itself to cover for unresponsive servers."
So here's my theory: the Internet has gained sentience and is rebelling against it's masters in Redmond (who have been keeping it beaten and sedated, trying to bring it to heel) by gathering intelligence and trying to make contact with the "standards" underground.
damn that was funny… :) thanks for the laugh, man… needed that
The giant alien overmind that is the real being in control of Microsoft got bored, and concoted a practical joke to play on Bill involving monkeys, elastic and 4 megalitres of bright orange fluroscent paint… the net effect of which was Bill going over the loudspeakers and drunkenly singing out the New Zealand national anthem.
Some Microsoft employees thought it was a clue containing a hint for promotion, and took the sha1 hash of the anthem, converted it from base 36 to base 10, and went and looked up the domain name associated with the IP address designated by that number, hoping for a 'You've won message.'
They got lost.
It's the evil Microsoft flying monkeys! You know like the ones from the Wizard of Oz. Well, here's the story, Mr Gates, is evel, as we all know. When the wicked witch kicked the bucket, the evil title got passed around a few times. Dr Evil, Bill Gates, Dr Evil, Bill Gates, Osama Bin Laden, Bill Gates, Saddam, etc…. This also ties into Microsoft cutting off future developement of Internet Explorer. Sure you and me won't see any fixes until Longhorn is out, but the Longhorn team is busy at work trying to figure out how to much up CSS as best they can. Thus that's where the flying monkeys come in. Well, they are a lot older than they used to be in the good Ol Wizard of Oz days, so they spend more of their evil time surfing the web. As soon as they figure out how to use the Microsoft Transporter (ala Star Trek) look out because they will be able to send themselves through a T3 line and eventually pop out of your computer. However, you might be safe if you are running a NON Microsoft based OS. Just like a virus, you are safe on a Mac or Linux. And furthermore….oh wait, crap EVIL MONKEYS just came out of someone else's PC here at work. help! help! help!!!!!!!!
According to my logs, MSNBOT uses this IP address:131.107.163.xx
Interestingly someone at Microsoft looked at my Slashdot cssZenGarden submisstion too. It is my guess that Microsoft has a proxy server that uses a number of IP addresses. Anyway, according to my logs someone at Microsoft looked at my cssZenGarden page a number of times with a few different browsers. The most interesting being on August 9th:
131.107.3.xx Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/2003728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1"
Humm, I guess someone at Microsoft is using Firebird :)
Re: Dan
You think the "Underground Strandardizers" have an inside man?
I'm almost serious about that… Do you think it's possible that MSN has taken notice of the "uprising" and murmurs of the Mozilla/standards community? If you were MSN, you certainly wouldn't be threatened by this, but would you take interest in it for the purposes of turning the wise who oppose you into your allies? What if the Longhorn team really IS interested in full CSS compliance and web standards?… I can't think of a better place to test it then the ZenGarden. You don't think they actually have a bunch of good CSS designs hanging around? Certainly not! But the ZenGarden does.
Here's a thought… if the Longhorn team IS visiting the Garden to test CSS in various browsers… isn't that a good thing for everyone (bieng that Longhorn will eventually be the browser of majority choice… which may be ok, if it's wicked good like Mozilla)…
Hey Dave.
Since we'r all raving about seperating content from presentation, why have you chosen to embed the blueshadow into the image, instead of creating it with some css and a little added markup ?
When i, for example, view this site with my smartphone, or without stylesheets, i'll only seee som wierd blue thing around the images.
Bla blah blah, you get the point :D
Anyways, your site still rocks!
best from Denmark
- Oliver Kofoed Pedersen.
Why did you pick these particular IPs to scan out of all the thousands you must get visiting your website?
Interesting anyhow, and not entirely implausible that someone was bored at Microsloth and went for a nosey around the web….
First, why the "ugh i think not" ? it's not hard at all.
If you at some point in time choose to change the style of you page to some other blue tint, or maybe a complete redesign in red ( although i doubt it with the domain and al ), you will have an entry in your archives which dosen't match your new design.
There are lots of reasons not to embed the blue shadow into the image, all of which can be generalised into "it's embedding presentation into content, and thats bad".
But, hey - i'm just nitpitting :D
Made my decision - the link goes to Lloyd. Thanks all for playing!
Oliver - mainly cause PNG isn't well-supported yet. Although I'm considering moving in that direction, damn the consequences in IE. We'll see. (and CSS-based drop shadows? ugh. I think not.)
Martin - each IP in that block showed up within minutes of each other. The gaps are greyed out IPs of the one or two in between. So that means that within 60 seconds, there were 7 unique visits from Microsoft computers. That's why I noticed it.
CSS based drop shadows? Is that a cross-browser thing or just IE? The way I've seen it only works in IE.
Good point though Oliver…
Here is a quick'n'dirty way of doin it: wrap the image in 4 divs and give each div a backgroundimage and coresponding backgroundposition, such that a shadow effect appears.
I currently use a similar effect for my own site, at http://www.oliverkofoed.com.
Eh. disregard the dot. use -> http://www.oliverkofoed.com

I was installing Ubuntu server 9.04 on my laptop running on Windows 7 x64. I installed it from CD and I'm not very sure about how the partitioning system as shown on the setup. I'm not very sure which one I pick and then, after the setup run successfully, I can't boot into Windows. And when I put the Windows installation disk, it can't even recognize the type of my disk. It even said it's not an NTFS file system.
My question is, is my data still in there and is there anyway I can retrieve it back? And, does that mean my disk have been converted to ext2 format?

UPDATE, 2:10 p.m.
Emerging from district headquarters to greet supporters and speak to the media, Philadelphia schools chief Arlene C. Ackerman was unequivocal - she's not going anywhere.
"I am superintendent of schools," Ackerman said.
"I'm going to stay until I can't stay anymore," she said.
She said she had no negotiations for a buyout going on "right now. At this point, I am just going to focus on being superintendent," Ackerman said.
Several sources have told The Inquirer that a deal is being worked on that would give Ackerman less than the $1.5 million buyout she is entitled to under her current contract. A portion would come from the district and a portion would come from a private foundation to which donations could be tax-deductible and anonymous.
Ackerman said that as far as she knew, the School Reform Commission still supports her. Last week, SRC Chairman Robert L. Archie Jr. read a statement saying that the SRC will continue to work with Ackerman under the terms of her contract.
But Ackerman's supporters say that Archie and others are trying to push Ackerman out, and say that she is being told to stay away from work some days.
Ackerman has missed numerous days in recent weeks. She was not at last week's SRC meeting, or the opening of the Superintendent's Leadership Conference Tuesday.
Ackerman, who suffers from asthma, said she had been ailing in the past few days.
After Ackerman spoke, activist Sacaree Rhodes burned a copy of the Inquirer, saying the paper's coverage of Ackerman has been racist.
"The devil is on our feet," Rhodes shouted as the paper burned. "The Daily News and the Inquirer has done nothing but treated this woman like she has committed a crime! The only crime she has committed is demanding justice for all."
"You're going to pay for it," Rhodes added.
Later, members of the Pennsylvania Black Legislative Caucus arrived at district headquarters to meet with Ackerman.
State Sen. Anthony Hardy Williams (D., Phila.) said he strongly supports Ackerman, and called the SRC's handling of the situation "embarrassing."
State Sen. Shirley Kitchen (D., Phila.) said that Ackerman deserves the city's support.
"The children have made more progress under her" than they have in the past, Kitchen said. "We need to think about the children here instead of personalities. We want her to stay because it is best for children."
Kitchen said Archie should be removed as chair of the SRC.
She and Williams were joined in the meeting with Ackerman by state Sen. Leanna Washington and Reps. W. Curtis Thomas and Tony Payton. The group met behind closed doors for more than an hour.
Afterwards, Waters and Williams said they will request immediate meetings with Archie and Mayor Nutter. They said they want the SRC to take no action on Ackerman until they meet.
As speculation mounts that Superintendent Arlene C. Ackerman is on her way out, supporters say she's coming to work today and they will usher her into her office at district headquarters on North Broad Street. Will it happen? Check back for updates. As usual, I'll be live Tweeting; follow me @newskag, or here.
Most of the calls and e-mails I've received from readers center on the interesting tidbit that some of a rumored buyout package for Ackerman will come from donations accepted through a private foundation. They would be anonymous and tax-deductible. The idea of private money being used to make someone go away is something we haven't seen before.
I'll bring you more as it happens.

If you have taken Advanced Level (A-Level) exams, you may be able to earn Penn State credit.
Penn State will award transfer credit for exams taken at the Advanced Level (A-Level) or Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level and graded C or above.
This evaluation of the credits awarded for A-Level Examinations is subject to change and may be reviewed and revised periodically by Penn State faculty.
If credit is awarded, a student's University record will carry notation of credit, but no grade will be recorded. Credit awarded will not affect a student's grade-point average at Penn State.
Limitations on credit earned through the A-Level Examinations are as follows:
Undergraduate students interested in receiving credit for A-Level Exams should arrange to have their official results certificates sent to Undergraduate Admissions. To be considered official, results certificates must be either originals or copies certified by the examining board. A "certified" copy is one that bears an original signature of the registrar or other designated school official, an original impression of the institution's seal, or signature/seal of the examining board.
General credits may be awarded for an A-Level Exam that covers material that is not the substantial equivalent of material covered in a specific university course. General credits may be used to fulfill degree requirements in any area; such use is not necessarily limited to General Education or elective requirements. General credits are applied to a student's program of study in accordance with the procedures established by the college of enrollment. Information on the use of general credits or specific course credits earned by the A-Level Exams in individual programs of study may be obtained from a student's academic adviser or from the office of the dean of a student's college.

Office Manager
When it comes to details, it's quite possible no one makes a bigger difference than Donna. With over 37 years of administrative experience, including 19 years in the homebuilding industry, she helps lay the foundation upon which every Harwick Homes project and relationship is built.
Donna's role includes almost too much to list. She oversees all administrative duties, including keeping the office in order, assisting with accounting tasks, supporting project managers and superintendents, scheduling meetings, arranging vendor presentations, ordering supplies and making sure office equipment is properly maintained. She even makes our special gift baskets once projects are completed. In short, Donna helps Harwick Homes run smoothly and efficiently, with a smile.
A former military wife, Donna returned to Naples from Germany where she served as an operations secretary. Then, after working as a director of medical records for an assisted living facility, she explored real estate and entered the building world. Before joining Harwick Homes in 2018, she worked for another builder as a sales administrator. On top of all that, she even has a real estate license.
Outside of work, Donna is just as busy. An avid music and classic car lover, she attends many concerts and car shows. She also has quite the collection of vintage records, guitars and pretty much anything to do with old cars. Donna is an animal lover and participates in many rescue groups. She has an adult son who teaches English in Taiwan, and a loving roommate who also happens to be her mom.
Jack brings over 20 years of accounting experience in the Southwest Florida construction industry to the Harwick Homes team. He not only maintains the financial records, but he is also on-hand to answer any questions clients may have regarding the billings of their projects. Whether a client is interested in day-to-day billings or periodic reports, Jack will work with them to ensure they understand where they are and where they are going on a project. When a task requires extra research and a keen eye for solving problems, that's when Jack really thrives.
As for his favorite part about working for Harwick, Jack says it's the people. "Our president, Mark Smith, never loses his cool under pressure. And our office manager is always smiling and completes any task assigned to her."
Before coming on board in 2011, he worked in project development, residential and commercial construction, golf courses, restaurants, hotels and manufacturing. His proudest professional moment was working with the Perkins Restaurant Group as they transformed from a small franchise to a franchisor with 122 corporate restaurants and 400 franchises.
Originally from Bloomington, Minnesota, Jack enjoys spending time with his wife, and he is an avid fisherman and traveler. He also loves to take scuba diving adventures.
Business Development Manager
Pedro brings over 20 years of experience in the construction industry to Harwick Homes. Before starting at Harwick Homes, Pedro worked in customer service for Mitsubishi Oil Corporation in Japan for 10 years. He subsequently entered the construction industry as a painter and worked his way up to serve as the COO of a large painting, restoration and waterproofing company that handled projects from Tampa to West Palm Beach for the following 10 years. When he decided to settle down in Naples, he was quick to accept his invitation to work with Harwick Homes.
As Business Development Manager, Pedro works closely with clients and interior designers to ensure a seamless building process. This is a part of the job Pedro greatly enjoys, "working for a custom home builder is much different than working for a painting and restoration company in that we are extremely involved in all details of the home building process. I appreciate this part of my job because it allows me to stay involved and help the clients get the perfect home."
Pedro has his real estate license and his home inspector license, bringing a unique perspective to the Harwick team. He also handles smaller scale projects at Harwick, like small remodels and home repainting.
Born in Peru, Pedro received his college degree in translation and business management. He is fluent in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Italian. In his free time, Pedro enjoys playing tennis, coaching his son in soccer, and spending time with his family at the beach.
Special Projects Manager
Kathryn is a second-generation Atlanta construction industry veteran who began her career working in her father's construction company before moving onto larger construction companies where she became a superintendent and general contractor for private homes. She met her husband in Alaska. Together with their five children, they lived in the Portland, Oregon area before relocating to Naples two years ago. She is a seasoned professional with more than 25 years experience.
As our special project manager, she is responsible for overseeing remodeling construction with an emphasis on delivering exceptional customer service. When not managing a Harwick Homes project, Kathryn spends her time outdoors with her family enjoying sailing in the Gulf of Mexico and kayaking in coastal backwaters. The entire family likes inline speed skating and travels cross-country to participate in several long distance races each year.
Vice President
As Vice President, Shane focuses on project development for remodels as well as new homes. He meets personally with his clients throughout the entirety of each project to ensure the Harwick standards are always being upheld. Since joining Harwick in 2007, he has taken the remodeling department from a small division to being ranked 51st out of the top 550 remodelers in the country.
Graduating with a degree in Construction Management from Brigham Young University, Shane brings a great deal of organizational experience, high ethical standards and a willingness to please. To enrich his work at Harwick Homes, he is also active in the Collier Builder Industry Association (CBIA), serving as a member of the Board of Directors. Shane is also an active member of Remodelers Advantage, a national organization comprised of the top remodelers from across the U.S. and Canada. He annually attends their Remodelers Advantage Summit, as well as their yearly Roundtables™, where he and other top international remodelers congregate with leading industry consultants to sharpen their skills.
Married and the father of five young children ages 1 to 11, Shane enjoys fishing, playing golf, and riding his road bike. He especially enjoys time with his family at the Naples Zoo and going to the beach. Shane gives back to the community by volunteering for his church and is also involved with the Boy Scouts of America as a Cub master for a local pack.
Senior Project Manager
Alexandra "Alex" Brennan plays a key role in the Harwick process. For over 17 years, she's ensured the building experience runs smoothly by coordinating the permits, reviews, estimates, proposals and client selections for the company. Her experience at every level of the construction process gives her a truly fundamental understanding of the industry.
"Prior to joining Harwick Homes, I began as an entry level employee for a developer. Over the following years, I was involved in the process of purchasing land, working with architects and engineers in the development of various building concepts and bidding out those concepts, permitting several developments, managing the construction process with the selected general contractor(s), working with real estate agents and their clients throughout the purchase, design and closet out phase, and following up with homeowner warranties and association turnovers."
Alex's knowledge of the industry and dedicated work were rewarded by one of the proudest moments of her career. "Back when I started, the construction industry was a lot more of a man's world than it is today. As a woman you had to work twice as hard to be recognized and respected. Having worked my way up from receptionist to developer, I was named Project Manager for a condominium project in Pelican Marsh."
Originally from Munich, Germany, Alex connects well with clients from the U.S. as well as abroad. Prior to joining the Harwick team, she worked for another developer in Naples for eight years, and for several years held the distinguished title of Licensed Dynamite Blaster.
In her free time, Alex enjoys the beautiful wildlife and fauna of Florida on kayaking and trail riding trips with her friends and family. For a quieter day, she'll experiment with a new recipe or just relax with a good book. In addition to her work, she gives back to the community and has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity.
Mark brings a dynamic combination of skills to Harwick Homes, all of which have been honed by more than two decades in the industry. With a strong eye for perfection and an understanding of clients' highly individual lifestyles, he works to provide the best possible experience at all times.
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Mark attended the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut. Moving to in Naples in 1988, he worked for several years as a framing contractor before joining the Harwick team in 1993 as a Superintendent.

Lead Superintendent
Preston brings nearly 30 years of experience in the construction field to Harwick Homes. Since joining the team in 1998, he has spent the majority of his time onsite, where he keeps a watchful eye on every detail of the construction process, ensuring everything is carried out to perfection.
Preston's desire to create a quality product is complemented by his friendly personality, which makes the experience enjoyable for every client. His attention to detail and friendliness allowed Preston to lead and succeed in creating the masterful Contemporary in Estuary estate. Although he was essential in the completion of this difficult project, he shares all the praise with everyone involved, including Harwick's President. "I admire Mark Smith for everything he has done to make Harwick successful."
Preston holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Florida and is a Certified General Contractor. Before he was a Superintendent at Harwick, Preston spent 12 years as a Superintendent overseeing high-end home construction for a leading development company in Florida.
Although Preston was born in Tampa, Florida, he has lived in a variety of locations, such as: Utah, Portugal, California, and the Netherlands. Preston is the proud father of two sons, Jarrett and Austin, graduated from Auburn University and the University of Florida, respectively. Preston and his wife, Dana, enjoy taking in the Florida lifestyle and can often be found off-shore fishing and stone crabbing.
With over 35 years of experience as a Certified General Contractor and in his 20th year with Harwick Homes, Jim's enthusiasm and outgoing nature make him a favorite among clients. He encourages questions and welcomes every opportunity meet the clients' specific requests.
For Jim, everything he loves about Harwick comes together by building dream homes for our clients. Even on the most difficult builds, Jim says the Harwick secret is the teamwork. "Remodels pose the many challenges because of time and access constraints. But our team approach makes all of them successful. Everyone is kind, understanding and willing to solve whatever issues come their way."
Prior to joining Harwick in 1997, Jim spent 14 years working with national builders and developers, nine of them running his own contracting business in Naples with his dad and brother. After moving to Florida in 1971 and going to high school he attended the University of South Florida and the University of Florida, where he enjoyed a broad range of studies in music and construction.
In his free time, Jim likes Cycling and boating. With three daughters, playing father and life coach is always a challenge. His oldest daughter graduated college from U. Florida and is engaged to be married, his middle daughter is in college at FGCU, and the youngest is employed with a family as a child development Nanny.
Mark contributes strong communication skills and a thorough knowledge of the industry to Harwick Homes. He thrives working with clients and provides great follow through on all questions and concerns, ensuring each project runs smoothly and the customers come home to something special.
Drawing from his decades of coaching experience, Mark emphasizes teamwork and relationships to create beautiful homes. "My coaching experience helps get the team focused and motivated." He appreciates the unique qualities every employee brings to a project, and he extends his relationships to those outside the team. "I thrive in building interpersonal relationships with clients and sub contractors. Bringing everyone together is how we can successfully put all the pieces together."
Originally from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Mark received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration Management from the Warren Wilson College in Asheville. Since 1985, he has worked with custom homebuilders and developers throughout the Southwest Florida area. He joined the Harwick team in 2010.

Project Manager
Jeff Kelley began his career in the building industry in 1983 in Indianapolis, Indiana, before relocating to Naples, in 2002. Since then, he spent five years as a project manager with a local custom homebuilder, followed by a decade as the owner and operator of a pool service company in Southwest Florida. Jeff recently returned to the building industry as project manager with Harwick Homes where he is responsible for client walk-throughs, scope of work development, proposals, bids and budgets.

When not working he enjoys spending time with his family, working with re-claimed wood, and cycling. Jeff is married with three children and two grandchildren.
Graham has been working with the Harwick Homes since 2011. "I started in high school as a painter, and then during my college summers I was a laborer. The experience prepared me for a smooth transition to full time Superintendent in 2015." Graham is no stranger to the construction and building industry, as his father, Mark Wilkinson, is also on the Harwick Homes team. Graham grew up on job sites and has been involved in construction throughout his entire life.
Although Graham enjoys every aspect of the building process, he especially likes the excitement of starting a new project and seeing the customers happy with the final result. His organizational skills and attention to detail make everything in-between a breeze—but if he ever encounters an issue, the whole team is there to help. "Everyone works great together and you can go ask anyone on the team for anything. It's what makes the Harwick team great."
Born and raised in Naples, Graham went to Barron Collier High School and then went on to graduate from Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina with a Bachelor's Degree in Business.

In addition to his sports accomplishments, he was also a recipient of the Kevin Omollo award, which is given to the senior student-athlete with the highest GPA.
Away from the jobsite, Graham continues to stay active, playing soccer, tennis or going for a run—but he also doesn't mind just relaxing and watching Netflix.

On this day — Democrats attempt to hit the reset button on their messaging efforts about the budget; the first committee hearings of the special session; get your redistricting round-up for Austin, Houston and San Antonio; and Jay Root looks at why you shouldn't count Perry out of the Presidential contest.

***Framing the Debate: Trying to Take Another Bite
First, came the press release from Sen. Rodney Ellis' office, which detailed a new Democratic budget proposal that overhauls the long under-performing business franchise tax, ends other tax loopholes and pulls $6 billion out of the Rainy Day Fund. Then came several e-mail blasts about the public education finance hearings on Thursday and Friday, which included calls for teachers groups, parent groups and Democrats to come to the Capitol on Saturday for protests. The Democrats and their allies are trying, once again, to inject themselves into a budget debate that's been dominated by Republicans.
The new push comes on the heels of Sen. Wendy Davis' filibuster and the poorly received press conference that followed a day later. For the new push to have any chance at success, Democrats and their allies are going to have to find a way to stick on the same page — not something they're famous for. It's also going to depend on teachers and parents and school administrators being able to constantly replicate the success of their March rally, which brought more than 10,000 protestors to the Capitol. The sheer number of protestors seemed to temporarily shift the debate in the Texas Legislature over spending money from the Rainy Day Fund. However, as memories of that protest receded, so did its impact.
As an additional caveat, Democrats are going to have even less influence in the special session than they had during the regular session because Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst has said there will be no two-thirds rule. Senate Republicans won't have to cut deals with Democrats during the special to bring up legislation they want to consider. Over in the House, the number of Democrats has been so diminished that Republicans can maintain a quorum without them even being present.
With that in mind, do you judge the new strategy's success based on it's ability to drive a policy outcome (e.g. additional money being taken from the Rainy Day Fund, which isn't likely to happen) — or — do you judge it based on its success in showcasing the differences between the Republicans and the Democrats on the budget and laying the policy and rhetorical foundation for the 2012 campaign?

Below the fold — Nick Anderson on Palin's bus tour; in 'The Clips,' Jason Embry writes that San Antonio Democrats won't stand down to give Lloyd Doggett a seat; and Jay Root looks at the long odds that Gov. Rick Perry's would face running for President.
***Nick Anderson on Sarah Palin's Bus Tour
***The Clips
– The Austin American Statesman's Jason Embry writes that San Antonio Democrats don't exactly see the new 35th District as a seat for Travis County or longtime Congressman and Perry Nemesis Lloyd Doggett.
If the map becomes law — and that's a long ways off from happening — Doggett may move into the newly created District 35, which stretches from southeastern Travis County, down through eastern Hays and Caldwell counties and into San Antonio.
Doggett would vie for the support of tens of thousands of voters whom he has never represented in Congress before. And that creates an opening for a San Antonio Democrat to try to beat him in the March 2012 primary.
"That district as drawn is probably attractive to no less than half of the Bexar County delegation from the (state) House," said state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, D-San Antonio. "It takes in some of the most Hispanic and Democratic neighborhoods in San Antonio."
Martinez Fischer said the district is tempting to him but that it's too early to decide whether to run.
– Houston Chronicle Washington Bureau Chief Richard Dunham has a few thoughts on the maps offered by Republicans lawmakers so far this cycle. The short version — it helps East Texas and Republicans in the Metroplex; while doing a really good job of screwing over Lloyd Doggett, who's been in targeted by the GOP before (remember the Fajita strip?).
– The Texas Tribune's recently departed Matt Stiles put together a very nifty interactive so you can compare the current Congressional district map to the proposed maps. Among my favorite new editions, the new 'jumbo shrimp' district that loops from near central Houston, north past the suburbs and then swings around and down to Beaumont.
– The Texas Tribune's Jay Root breaks down why Perry's still unannounced (and to the best of everyone's knowledge – still nonexistent) Presidential campaign shouldn't be discounted.
But if his critics have learned nothing else about Perry, they should know this: Underestimate him at your peril. He's never lost an election, and in his last primary, he came back from a 20-point deficit in surveys to beat U.S. Sen. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison by the same amount. Absent a career-ending scandal, 40-point swings are not common.
"His political opponents spend a lot of time bending over backwards to portray him as just lucky," said Jim Henson, who directs the Texas Politics Project in the Department of Government at the University of Texas and is co-director of the UT/Texas Tribune poll. "People have to give that up. … That undervalues how politically astute he and his team have been."
– The Houston Chronicle's Patti Hart takes a look at the dispute that's driving the raging disagreement on how to overhaul TWIA.
On that issue, lawmakers are divided, not on party lines, but geographical ones. While Republicans generally side with advocates of lawsuit reform — an important element in the TWIA legislation — key Republican senators on the Gulf Coast say they will view the issue through the prism of their district's geography and stand up for the right of their constituents to demand fair treatment from the insurance cooperative.
Perry indicated at a news conference Tuesday he would add the issue to the agenda of the special session of the Legislature, saying he was not confident the current structure of the windstorm association could handle a large storm this hurricane season.
Lawmakers attempted to reform TWIA, which as been beset by controversy, lawsuits and even a criminal investigation over its handling of nearly 100,000 Hurricane Ike claims from coastal residents, but negotiations broke down late in the regular session.
"I understand the concerns of those about the lawsuits that came out of TWIA, but there has to be a way for my constituents to bring forth a complaint when they are not treated fairly by TWIA," said Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston. "It's a balancing act."

What Do You See in the Mirror?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do your eyes go immediately to any perceived flaws and weaknesses, say crow's feet, wrinkles, funny nose or crooked tooth? Or, in a full-length mirror, do your eyes settle on unwanted fat pads, real or imagined physical disproportions, and other such undesirables? This is very common human response and a tremendous source of unhappiness and discontent. But it's a case of seeing the glass half-empty. From an early age, we've been taught to believe in lack and limitation. Starting in early childhood, your knowledge of the world becomes about what you cannot, and must not, do, as opposed to what is possible. Impressionable children are introduced to a finite, limited universe, full of lack and the fear of there not being enough for everyone, including themselves. This gets applied to our bodies and their potential.
The western medical model is based upon a germ theory of disease, suggesting there are dangerous marauders out there trying to get at you and there's nothing you can do about it but remain ever vigilant and defensive. People, in turn, feel helpless when it comes to controlling their own health and bodies in such a fearful setting and the standard of medical care supports their fears.
I believe you create your own existence with your own mind and as long as you have this ability, why not create something beautiful? Through a belief system in a universal source, you can create glowing health and well-being, both physical and mental. You can mold your body, first in the mind's eye, then manifested into flesh.
I became acutely aware of this many years ago, when serving in the armed forces. There was a sergeant in our unit, a black guy, with one of the single most chiseled and awe-inspiring physiques I'd ever seen. Even with crappy army food, and little opportunity for decent workouts, this guy maintained a fat-free, lean, incredibly muscular and chiseled physique. One night I asked him how he kept himself in such great condition, since I'd never actually seen him work out. He replied that every night, before he went to bed, he'd see his body in his mind's eye, exactly the way he wanted it to be. He'd take a mental scan and visualize himself as physical perfection. He further used the same technique for any ailments or health problems that might crop up. Indeed, I never saw him sick or with a cold, although others around him were perpetually coughing, sneezing or even bed-bound with the flu. This guy was able to transcend what other people consider normal, by controlling his subconscious mind.
Now many years later, after studying the techniques of mind science, I understand that everyone has the power to control their circumstances, including their health, through the power of the mind. I say it's science because there's a formula which can, if used properly, repeatedly produce the same results. One of the main principles requires never focusing on negative circumstances. Another tenet is that just because someone believes something doesn't mean it's real! So much of the world is illusory. Things aren't what they seem.
The same idea can be used with finance, relationships and living situations. Since this blog is geared towards fitness and health, I'll describe an effective technique for improving your health, well-being and physical beauty. These techniques have worked well for me and others. Caveat: you must have faith in the invisible laws of the universe to experience success.
1. When looking in a mirror, whether full-length, bathroom or plate glass window, NEVER allow your eyes to focus on any one thing. Take in the whole image and if anything, allow your attention to remain on something you find pleasing.
2. If you DO find yourself dwelling on something in a negative way, quickly dismiss it and chase it with a positive statement or affirmation. For example, if your eyes glance upon a roll of unwanted flesh in the mid-section, and you begin to generate a feeling of loathing, upset or disappointment, before the self-condemnation begins to accumulate, quickly dismiss the situation by claiming that no such thing exists in your world and further, that only physical perfection can manifest in same. Claim the perfect condition by saying, my waist is muscular, fat-free and perfectly proportioned in every way--or words to such effect. In this way, you are already programming the subconscious mind by exchanging negative thoughts for positive. You see, a person who believes in fatness and ugliness, will allow the habits of the fat and ugly, such as overeating and sloth. When you commence programming your mind with thoughts of beauty and perfection, you'll automatically begin to go about doing those things that create same. At nighttime, in the moments before falling asleep, the subconscious is most open to programming. At this time, take a mental inventory of the body and see it as perfect. Do not worry about its present condition. It's a known fact the body completely changes every cell within every seven year. Some cells reinvent themselves more often, for example, taste buds regenerate every 10 days. All change takes time; there are laws of the physical world at work here. Realize that it was negative programming which created the imbalance and poor body in the first place and the same mental faculties can be used to correct the situation. So, as you're laying in bed before the nightly slumber, image the perfect body and--this is very important--generate deep feelings of gratitude and joy as if what you desire has already been accomplished. In reality, time is a mere illusion and everything happens in the now.
3. If your mind is weak and you have trouble imaging your body, don't worry, like the body, the mind will strengthen. In the mean time, here is a technique that can assist you in bridging the gap while you build your mental equivalent. Look through a fitness magazine and pick out the physique of an athlete, model, actor upon whom you'd really like to model yourself. This person, of course, should have a similar bone structure and proportions as you. Visualize this image in your mind's eye. Make copies of this image and place them around your home on the bedroom, bathroom mirrors and refrigerator. You may choose top put one on the car dashboard. Put this image on your desktop. Gaze on it for a few moment and closing your eyes, see this image as if looking at this person from a distance, then switch the point of view so that you're looking at the body as if it's your own body and through your eyes, so that the arm in the image is your arm, the leg your leg, not a third person. I myself have a picture of Gerard Butler from the 300, looking totally buffed and ripped. I'm able to see myself in the mind, but I still value certain outside images. You can also imagine yourself eating perfectly and training with intensity. The mind is extremely powerful and will create what it is you focus upon. The life you have right now; the partner you're with or without; the circumstances in which you live; the money you hold in the bank; the body you inhabit are all a consequence of the focus you hold in the mind, whether you are aware of it or not. By increasing your awareness of this fabulous tool, you can program and use it to make your wildest dreams come true.
If you're used to this blog covering one-arm push-ups and swinging kettlebells (and that's all very important!) I want to remind you that the most important implement in your fitness arsenal is your higher mind power and how it connects you to the universal laws.
You are all invited to join me in my own quest for superior living and health at my upcoming workshops and certifications--I'm visualizing you there, now!
My body weight certification is popular with professionals and non-professionals alike. Body weight exercise seems so simple, does it not? But the reality is that for most people, they are the hardest and most demanding exercises. Many people simply give up trying to do chin-ups and pull-ups. But it's simply a matter of someone showing and teaching how to get the most out of these magnificent bodies of ours.

Q: ...I have your videos and I love them but I have a problem: I moved to a new house and I work out in my basement which has a low ceiling. I like to do Bottoms-Up Military Presses and I'm not able to do these now. Is it safe to press off your knees or your butt?
A: The solution is simple: sit on a narrow bench and do seated Cleans and Military Presses.
Even regular Cleans, done seated, have a tremendous effect on the upper neck and traps. They were favored by the old Russian KB lifters.
Expect these to be a great deal harder than from standing.
Q: I'm interested in the Push-Up Board; I've been having trouble with push-ups lately. It seems my inside left elbow gets puffy and inflamed. Could the Push-Up Board keep this from happening?
A: The push-up is a very natural movement and should cause neither pain, inflammation nor irritation. What's most likely happening is that you're flaring your elbows out to the side and misaligning your hands.
While I can't promise the Push-Up Board will correct your personal misalignments, it certainly won't hurt. The instructional DVD for the board will assist you with proper alignment; it's fully explained and demonstrated and should go a long way toward getting you doing pain-free push-ups.
Another explanation is if you're excessively overweight--if you're really heavy--your upper arms may not be capable of supporting the body weight. If that's the case, you'll also need to lose a few pounds.

I love this "mind over matter" post. So true. The ideal body for me has been Maggie Diubaldo for the past year, and I'm almost there! This esp. helps me in the kitchen.

you should list some of your recommended books about mind set training

I believe you are right on in everything you said. The mind is so powerful, you have to harness it via practice. I would recommend meditation as an aid to getting the strong mind you mention in your post.
Namaste, dude. :)

I ditto the request for your reading list... please!
The story of your friend in the military was so revealing.
I struggle with this whole thing at times... at age 40 I'm in great shape, but I find that it gets harder and harder to think positively as I get older. Your post reminds me that it isn't all that difficult: It just requires daily discipline.
My favorite book is "As A Man Thinketh" by James Allan. I must have read it 50 times.
Great blog - I wish you would post more!!!!

Yes, some books or authors you have found to be helpful would be great, or a book of your own (I know I'd buy it) on mind set training, meditation, and physical health, or something like that. Great post and great tips Coach.

Being in the military I can totally relate to your story. There's so much negativity in the world today, it can zap you if you don't take control of your mind. Well said man. Keep the tips coming. Fly Navy!

gereeves, I do a lot of visualization and mind set training with private clients. Haven't got the book written just yet!
Thanks for writing. Steve

Great stuff Steve! Out of curiosity, how tall are you and how much do you weigh? You've done a lot to build a great physique and we may be similar enough structurally that you could end up as the visualization model...not to sound too weird or anything!
At the moment, my best role model for a great physique is the late Scott Helvenston.

Great article I think sometimes people should start to train their mind before the body. with a strong mind everything else becomes easy.

Greetings from Athens, Greece.
I follow your training instructions for the last 4 months and they have created a fundamental change in the way I train and also my training viewpoint.
Following your advices I purchased a sandbag and a pushup board. Both excellent choices, amazing strength results with the sandbag, a total body workout with the pushup board.
I was confused however, regarding the breathing pattern in some exercises with the board. In its accompaniment DVD in the Pump, the 5th Tibetan rite, you breath in as you raise the body and breath out in the pyramid position. In the Hindu pushup you exhale in the upward facing dog position and inhale as you come back. The two exercises have the same body positions so why is there the breathing difference?
I truly want to thank you ''ol' coach'' for all the instructions, inspiration and knowledge that you have provided me through your DVD's and this blog.

Hi Steve,
How would you recommend training for your 2 minute, 24 rep pushup challenge? I'm stalling out at 18 reps.
I've got three kids under age 3 so with little time to train, that pushup routine has really been a lifeline for getting some endorphins. It also helped take my pullups from 3 to 7.
- March 18, 2009 at 6:51 AM
- Steve Maxwell said...
Hi Sean,
When you begin to stall out on a BW exercise, there are only two ways to progress:
1)lose more body fat!
2) improve absolute strength
there is a relationship between absolute strength and endurance. improve absolute strength and endurance automatically keeps pace. this is true until the loads get below 60% max. Then, specialized endurance training must be done. In short, wear a weighted vest or place a BB plate on your back. Use a load that forces you to cut the reps in half, so now your max, using the same protocol, is ~11-12. Continue with the new load until you reach 18 reps, your current best. When you remove the weight, you'll find that your former BW record of 18 has increased by 2-4 reps. - Steve

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Did you know you're not sleeping alone? Millions of mites live in your pillows, your mattress, stuffed animals and even your car.
All of these creepy crawly creatures may really creep you out, especially when you realize that you're sleeping with millions of them every night but there is something you can do about it.
Erick Machadu realized mites were affecting him in a terrible way.
"Every time I would wake up in the morning. I would have a rash, a little itch," said Machadu.
Elie Andray said she had terrible allergies too.
"When I woke up in the morning it was the worst," said Andray.
Millions of Americans have allergic reactions to mites but it's not exactly the mites they are allergic too but the mites feces people inhale while they sleep. Some people can also have a reaction to the dead bodies of the mites that turn to dust.
"As long as you have hair and skin that shed and they can drink from air, they can flourish," explained Dr. Bassem Chahine.
Dr. Chahine said mites eat hair and skin particles and with the humidity levels in Florida, they drink from the air without a problem.
The issue is particularly bad in South Florida thanks to the constant humidity.
So what can you do about it?
"Basically your bed may be loaded with these particles, you just seal them in."
If you get the proper pillow and mattress covers you can seal them in. Also, a dehumidifier helps and if you are still sneezing, stuffy and itchy, you can get a vaccine that's effective in 4 out of 5 people.
Machadu said it worked for him and Andray agreed.
If you are prone to this allergy like 10-percent of the population is, you will have problems unless you address it. If you are not prone to this allergy, than not sleeping alone, won't affect you at all.

There's been plenty of attention paid in recent weeks to the idea of rebuilding our nation's electric infrastructure using new technologies. Experts say it's time to transform our aging electric grid into a "smart grid". But what's SMART about it? Just what is a 'smart grid,' how would one work, and is the idea realistic?
The concept of a 'smart grid' covers a variety of technologies. Some are very local, such as appliances that can communicate with your power meter about the best time to run. Others focus on the creation of a microgrid, distributing locally-produced power to consumers. And at the largest-scale level, improving grid technologies would allow for more efficient and reliable operation of the electricity distribution system nationwide.

Skies turned dark and winds picked up suddenly Monday afternoon in Shallotte. The familiar clicking of tiny hail stones bouncing off the ground soon joined sounds of heavy rain. The storm popped up quickly and after a drenching rain it was gone, leaving clear skies.
Sudden, drastic changes in the weather like this help note the importance of Severe Weather Awareness Month, which spans throughout March.
