New Farrow & Ball redecorating book opens whole new can of … paint

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:42:09 GMT

Britain’s Farrow & Ball has a beautiful new book out — “How to Redecorate” — that dives into the fascinating world of color and paint, a subject few could make as interesting as Joa Studholme, color curator for the venerable English maker of high-end paints and wallpaper. Studholme takes us on an exquisitely illustrated (340 photos and drawings) tour that includes such key considerations as light, architecture and style, then squires us around color families and ends with a comprehensive look at finishes — from Dead Flat to Full Gloss.F&B is known for its small collection of artisan colors. “We believe that by condensing the options to only 132 carefully curated colors that selection is easier,” Studholme told me last week on a Zoom call from across the pond. (By comparison, Sherwin-Williams offers more than 1,700 paint colors.) Since Studholme came on board, every color the company has added was created at her kitchen table, where she sits with...

Warriors: Freshly retired Iguodala becomes acting players union director

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:42:09 GMT

By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball WriterFormer Warriors forward Andre Iguodala is taking over as the acting executive director of the National Basketball Players Association after the resignation of Tamika Tremaglio, the union announced Thursday.Tremaglio, the union said, is “stepping down from the position to pursue new opportunities.” The NBPA’s executive committee has approved Iguodala’s appointment, the union said.Tremaglio was not even two full years into her four-year term as executive director. It was not immediately clear if Iguodala, the four-time NBA champion with Golden State who announced his retirement last month and was a longtime union officer, would be interested in the job in a permanent capacity.The change atop the union seemed to come as a surprise, given that Tremaglio revealed on Tuesday that she had just met with the Indiana Pacers — the second team she visited with this season, following time with the Atlanta Hawks in October — and was planning to be back in India...

49ers’ D-coordinator Steve Wilks downplays his move to the sideline

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:42:09 GMT

SANTA CLARA — The day after coach Kyle Shanahan announced his defensive coordinator would move from the coaches box to the sideline, Steve Wilks knew the questions were coming.“Just being candid, I think we’re making a bigger deal about this than it needs to be,” Wilks said Thursday before practice. “I just want to be able to communicate with the guys a little more. Certain things I’m seeing, I want to be able to talk to them directly.”Wilks is correct in that the switch is being more closely scrutinized from the outside than from inside the building.“I don’t really pay it no mind,” defensive tackle Javon Hargrave said.Dre Greenlaw cut to the heart of the matter and a 5-3 record after a 5-0 start.“If we were 8-0 it probably wouldn’t be a big deal,” Greenlaw said. “Me, I like having that coach on the sideline. But I think when it’s not going the way you want it to, everyone finds an excuse or a ...

GOP and Dems Unite to Smear Gaza Ceasefire Supporters as "Pro-Hamas"

Protesters in Detroit call for a ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza, on Oct. 7, 2023.Photo: Matthew Hatcher/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty ImagesToday America faces a profound choice: Should we analyze the Israeli-Palestinian conflict using our large human brains, or instead respond to it with the enraged hooting and screeching of baboons?Much of the U.S. political class has decided to take the hooting and screeching approach. One popular method they use to oppose thinking, especially as Israel’s attack on Gaza has intensified, is to call all actions supporting a ceasefire “pro-Hamas.” Given the Hamas atrocities of October 7, which killed about 1,400 Israelis, this is simultaneously vicious, dangerous, and extraordinarily stupid.This primate-like shrieking appeared over and over again during Wednesday’s Republican presidential debate. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis declared that students in his state are making “common cause with Hamas.” Nikki Haley spoke about “everybody that’s prote...
