Louis XIV Furniture
Louis XIV furniture
Louis XIV furniture was massive and lavishly covered with sculpture and ornament of gilded bronze in the earlier part of the personal rule of King Louis XIV of France (1660-1690). After about 1690, thanks in large part to the furniture designer Andr Charles Boulle, a more original and delicate style appeared, sometimes known as Boulle Work. It was based on the use of marquetry, the inlay of piece of ebony and other rare woods, a technique first used in Florence in the 15th century, which was refined and developed by Boulle and others working for the King. Furniture was inlaid with thin plaques of ebony, copper, mother of pearl, and exotic woods of different colors in elaborate designs. New and often enduring types of furniture appeared; the commode, with two to four drawers, replaced the old coffre, or chest. The canap, or sofa, appeared, in the form of a combination of two or three armchairs. New kinds of armchairs appeared, including the fauteuil en confessionale or "Confessional armchair", which had padded cushions ions on either side of the back of the chair. The console table also made its first appearance; it was designed to be placed against a wall. Another new type of furniture was the table gibier, a marble-topped table for holding dishes. Early varieties of the desk appeared; the Mazarin desk had a central section set back, placed between two columns of drawers, with four feet on each column.

Louis Fleury
Louis Fleury (24 May 1878 - 10 June 1926) was a French flautist, pupil of Paul Taffanel at the Paris Conservatoire. Claude Debussy dedicated the piece for solo flute Syrinx to him in 1913, and Fleury performed the premire. In 1921 English composer Cyril Rootham dedicated to Louis Fleury a "Suite in Three Movements" for flute and piano. Fleury was a pioneer in the rediscovery of many forgotten Baroque flute compositions, and in commissioning new pieces by contemporary composers. He was a member of the Socit Moderne des Instruments Vent, which was set up for this purpose.

Louis Navellier is he any good?
Louis has a pretty good record of delivering better than market returns. For those naysayers that say it can not be done, recall that the Legg Mason Value Trust delivered better than market returns for 15 years (meaning I do not think they just got lucky). Louis Navellier usually offeres a free trial period. If you are uncertain, sign up for the trial period, start a portfolio with his stock picks. By that I mean, go to Yahoo Finance or another free website and start a transaction portfolio, but do not actually buy the stocks. Watch them during the trial period. If you are unhappy with the results, then cancel. However, you will find that Louis pick's stocks that show up on the Investor's Business Daily 100 list, Cramer's Mad Money, and other trading resources. He does not buy or sell based on technical anaylsis. With the exception of his quantum growth service, he picks stocks you can hold for a year or more to be tax efficient.
