Before and After: Updated Chicago Row House
A creative team takes cues from the past to reinvent a Chicago row house for a young family and a new century
Climbing four levels and illuminated by a peaked skylight, a grand staircase was the only trace of an 1890s Chicago row house's glory days. But that was enough to ignite the imaginations of interior designer Michael Abrams and architect Kevin Toukoumidis. "My ability to see what the house could be started with that stair," Toukoumidis says. "The stair is historic—this crafted piece of wood, the railings and treads, and then the opening of glass at the top. It was immensely beautiful."
Sadly, not much else was when Matt and Teri Andresen bought the house. But the Andresens, parents of four children under the age of 15, needed the space the house offered and appreciated the location just a few blocks from their children's school.
A lamp original to the home—and found in the previous owner's garage—was refurbished and installed on the stair bench, also original to the house.

Before: Stairs
The home was midway through a renovation when the Andresens took ownership and turned to Abrams for help with finishing the project. "When we came to the table, a previous owner had tried to convert it from six apartments back to a single-family home," Abrams says. "The house at this point was completely gutted, nothing but studs and some mechanical, electrical, and plumbing roughed in. Luckily, the staircase remained; otherwise, there was none of the original architecture."
After: Stairs
Recognizing the project's scope, Abrams recruited architect Toukoumidis. The nearly 11,000-square-foot house is in Chicago's Gold Coast, so replacements and repairs were thoughtfully executed to stay true to the neighborhood's historic designs. High-efficiency, curved-glass windows were custom-made for the house's oriel-like front bay, replicating the originals.
To reflect the house's elegant heritage, Abrams and Toukoumidis brought in timeless materials and architectural elements—hand-carved marble fireplace mantels, picture moldings on walls, 10-inch-high baseboards, and decorative plaster ceilings. "We created details that had traditional elements but with a clean style," Abrams explains. "We didn't want anything too froufrou."
"Every detail mattered, whether it was the curve of the baseboard or the custom plaster ceiling in the salon," Toukoumidis adds. "We worked to get those details right."
Elegant, yes, but not fussy. The Andresens wanted to respect the past, but the couple's design sensibilities lean to the modern. And with four children, two dogs, and three turtles (who live in a tank in the first-level playroom), spaces had to be practical.
Ornate balusters were repaired and painted white to restore the original staircase.
Before: Living Room
The living room was completely gutted.
"We wanted not just to renovate the house but to reinvent it. We didn't want to re-create the old," Toukoumidis says. "I think you have to nod to history, respect history, but I also think you need to create something more inventive, fresh, and exciting."
After: Living Room
That starts with evaluating how people will live in a house today, Abrams says. For the Andresens' living room, where they often entertain, Abrams chose large-scale furnishings in keeping with the spacious room, but kept lines simple. "Our approach was clean, tailored, and keeping things as timeless as possible," the designer says. "Matt likes contrasts—lights and darks—so we used lots of white and black when we chose marble, wood, and paint colors."
A floating arrangement of matching leather chairs and a long sofa in the living room allows for traffic flow and plenty of seating near the baby grand piano in the bay window.

Stylish Living Room
Armless leather chairs face a custom table in front of the new mantel and surround from Chesney's Fireplaces.
Warm Dining Room
Throughout the project, the designers worked to bring natural light into the interiors—a challenge in a row house with buildings on each side. A charming oval window was inset into a dining room wall, and the skylight was restored and enhanced with backlighting so it can be illuminated at night, a feature Matt particularly likes.
A graphite-colored Murano glass chandelier from Donghia illuminates the room's domed ceiling.

Gorgeous Salon
A small salon off the living room is a study in contrasts, with a white decorative plaster ceiling, a white marble fireplace, and a white area rug, all enveloped by walls painted a rich brown with eggplant undertones.
The molded-plaster ceiling, new fireplace surround from Chesney's French Collection, and silk rug play against walls painted in Benjamin Moore's "Silhouette." A graceful "Chloe" coffee table designed by Thomas Pheasant for Baker repeats the curves of the ceiling.

Spacious Kitchen
The kitchen is all about family. Kitchen designer Mick De Giulio used a large marble-topped center island to create efficient traffic patterns and work zones. "They cook a lot, and they wanted a place for the kids to feel comfortable," De Giulio says. A breakfast bar with refrigerator drawers, a sink, and a dishwasher runs along a wall opposite the refrigerator. "The kids can use that part of the kitchen without disturbing Teri in the main work zone," De Giulio says.
Backless stools are from Hickory Chair. Kitchen designer Mick De Giulio designed the stainless-steel hood, which seems to float in front of the marble backsplash.

Front Exterior
The limestone facade, damaged by vines and neglect, was painstakingly cleaned and restored.
The circa-1898 limestone row house combines French and Italianate styles, architect Kevin Toukoumidis says. The designers planned for functionality, giving each floor a role: The first level houses the foyer and play areas; the second level has the living and dining rooms and kitchen; the third level is the master suite; and the fourth is the kids' floor.

Homeowner Portrait
"We loved the opportunity to make the house our own, to decide all the details and make it the way we wanted it," homeowner Matt says. Abrams and Toukoumidis share that enthusiasm. "We were so impassioned with the history of this house and the quality," Toukoumidis says. "We were trying to make this last another 100 years."
Homeowners Matt and Teri Andresen sit on a built-in bench, original to the house, on the second level, the home's main living area.

Hodgkin's LymphomaSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
Is this topic for you?
Lymphomas are either Hodgkin's lymphomas or non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Hodgkin's lymphomas have a type of cell called Reed-Sternberg cells. Lymphomas without these cells are non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. This topic is about Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). To learn about Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, see the topic Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma .
What is Hodgkin's lymphoma?
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that begins in part of the immune system (the lymph system ). White blood cells called lymphocytes can become abnormal or increase in number and grow without control. They may form lumps of tissue called tumors, usually in the lymph nodes of the neck, armpits, or chest.
Hodgkin's lymphoma is also called Hodgkin's.
This topic is about the most common type of Hodgkin's lymphoma, called classical Hodgkin's lymphoma. There are other types of Hodgkin's.
Like other cancers, Hodgkin's can spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body. To find out how severe your cancer is, your doctor will classify it by stage and grade .
Hodgkin's is a very curable cancer compared to other cancers. But treatment success depends on your gender, the type of Hodgkin's you have, its stage, and your age when you are diagnosed.
What causes Hodgkin's?
Experts don't know what causes Hodgkin's lymphoma. Some things are known to increase the chance that you will get it. These are called risk factors. Risk factors include:
- Infection with a virus, such as Epstein-Barr or HIV .
- Having a weak immune system .
- Age. This cancer is most common in people ages 15 to 35 and people age 55 and older.
- A family history of the disease.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of Hodgkin's include swollen lymph nodes, a fever, weight loss, and night sweats.
How is Hodgkin's diagnosed?
Your doctor will ask you about your and your family's medical history and will do a physical exam. You may also get:
- A complete blood count , to check the number of white and red blood cells.
- A chest X-ray .
- A biopsy . The doctor may remove part or all of a lymph node to check for cancer. A biopsy is the only sure way to know if you have the cancer.
- A CT scan .
- A PET scan .
- A bone marrow biopsy .
How is it treated?
Treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma depends on what type you have and the stage of the disease. It also depends on the size of the tumor, your age, and your symptoms. It is usually treated with medicines called chemotherapy . You may need radiation treatment.
If the cancer comes back, you may need a stem cell transplant .
Side effects
Radiation and chemotherapy can have serious side effects. But the benefits of the medicine are usually more important than any side effects. Side effects may go away after you use the treatment for a while.
Your medical team will help you manage the side effects of your treatment. If you have chemotherapy or radiation, you may need medicines to control nausea and vomiting.
Fatigue is common with cancer treatment. But staying active and eating well before, during, and after your treatment may help you have more energy.
- Get some physical activity every day. Ask a friend to take a walk with you.
- Eat healthy foods. Foods with protein and extra calories can help you stay strong and prevent weight loss. Try liquid meal replacements.
- Eat smaller meals more often, or eat your main meal early.
- Drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated.
Talk with your doctor and medical team about your side effects.
Clinical trials
You may be interested in taking part in research studies called clinical trials . Clinical trials are based on the most up-to-date information. They carefully study the use of new treatments and new combinations of current treatments.

A robotic paint-stripping system being developed by Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center and Concurrent Technologies Corporation of Johnstown, Pa., was named a Gold winner in the materials science category of the 2013 Edison Awards, announced April 25 at an awards ceremony in Chicago.
The Advanced Robotic Laser Coating Removal System (ARLCRS) uses high-powered lasers mounted on mobile robotic platforms to remove paint and coatings from aircraft. NREC and CTC are developing the system for the U.S. Air Force. NREC is building six autonomous mobile robots, which will each be equipped with a high-power laser coating remover developed by CTC. As part of a two-year project, the robots will be deployed in teams to remove paint and other coatings from aircraft at Hill Air Force Base in northern Utah.
The laser coating remover eliminates the need for abrasives or chemical paint removers, which generate significant hazardous wastes and air emissions. The autonomous mobile robots make it possible to automate and precisely control the stripping process, while protecting workers' eyes from hazardous laser light.
The NREC team includes Tony Stentz, NREC director and the principal investigator, and Stuart Lawrence, project manager. Jim Arthur is principal process engineer and project manager for CTC.
Another CMU startup, Neon, won the bronze in the computer and electronics category. Based on research out of the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC), Neon uses neuroscience to improve online video clicks and recently secured VC funding.

Max Payne 3 developers Rockstar have come up with a tidy solution to the problem of dealing with online cheaters: throw them in the same room together and let them kill (or at least annoy) each other.
Here's Rockstar's explanation:
Anyone found to have used hacked saves, modded games, or other exploits to gain an unfair advantage in Max Payne 3 Multiplayer, or to circumvent the leaderboards will be quarantined from all other players into a "Cheaters Pool", where they'll only be able to compete in multiplayer matches with other confirmed miscreants.
The sight of cheaters trying to out-cheat other cheaters is something Rockstar should film then distribute. I know I'd watch it.
I know Battlefield 3 is too big a game to do the same, but boy, in my dreams this is something nearly all developers could implement.

Inspired by a similar pancake I ate at the organic restaurant Gather in Berkeley, I invented this recipe. I loved the lemon ricotta cream with the grated Meyer lemon. It is sublime mixed with apricot jam and fresh peaches. Flax seed meal amps up the nutrition level.
Combine milk with lemon juice first, and let it sit while you mix the other ingredients. The lemon juice will curdle the milk so it resembles buttermilk.
Makes about 15 medium-sized pancakes
Mix milk and lemon juice:
2 2/3 cups milk (I use 1%)
1 tsp Meyer lemon juice
Mix other wet ingredients:
¾ cup low-fat ricotta cheese
2 large eggs
½ tsp grated rind of Meyer lemon
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp melted butter
Mix dry ingredients:
1 cup cornmeal
1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry or finely ground flour. If you can't find this, use 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
1/4 cup ground flax seed
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tb sugar
Stir in:
½ cup sliced blueberries
1/2 cup pecan pieces
Combine wet ingredients, mixing well.
Alternate 1/2 of milk mixture and dry ingredients, stirring only until lumps disappear. Fold in blueberries and nuts if desired.
Heat oiled skillet or pancake grill. Rub a cube of butter over surface. Fry pancakes over low-medium heat.
Lemon-ricotta cream:
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
½ tsp lemon juice from Meyer lemon
½ tsp grated Meyer lemon rind
1 tsp sugar
Whip ingredients together for about 2 minutes. Serve over pancakes with fresh strawberries and peaches. Top with apricot jam or maple syrup if desired.

One of my players, a thri-kreen berserker, uses Run Down and World Serpent's Grasp to prone enemies. He then used his action point to make a grab attack, with the intent of holding the enemy to the ground.
Grab says it immobilizes the target. I allowed the grab to prevent the target from standing because it made sense. Can anyone explain why this wouldn't work?

Brocock Bantam Guide
Ultimate Guide to the Bantam by Brocock Ltd
- Giles Barry, The Airgun Gear Show
The Bantam represents not only a new design, but a new stage in the evolution of the Brocock company. In a market filling quickly with new and innovative bullpups, designers at Brocock took to their roots. Long ago before bullpups were the trend, Brocock's name to fame was in its short, compact and slim designs like the Brocock Contour S6 and Brocock Concept S6. So when the market demand insisted on a bullpup, Brocock started from scratch and developed a slim and clean model which they called the Brocock Compatto air rifle. Keeping with traditional feel, they invented a category now called semi-pup or semi-bullpup, where the action is moved back to save length, but held forward enough to give a traditional cheek weld. The cylinder on the Compatto, while great for form and function, is limited in capacity, and restrictive on a high power US model of this size. So we insisted that Brocock look into incorporating a front bottle into the Compatto for added shot capacity, and wouldn't you know it, THEY LISTENED!
We know the factories must love it when the Americans ring them up and tell them things like " put a bottle on the front of the air rifle ", like it is a simple thing to do! But Brocock listened and did just that. They took the Compatto back into design mode and fitted it with a front bottle in place of its cylinder. This lead to having to design and engineer a new fill port, and a new pressure gauge location, and then wouldn't you know it, the action no longer fit into the stock! So off the prototype went to undergo a pricey stock redesign. All this to meet our markets request to simply "put a bottle on the front"! But, even the most conservative members of the Brocock team look upon the new Brocock Bantam and know that they have created a game changer in the world airgun market. Arguably the first conventional bullpup (semi-pup actually) with a bottle up front and a magazine indexing system which gently delivers multiple shots.

Brocock Bantam Hi-Lite with Soft Touch Stock
Let's walk around the new Brocock Bantam and look at the great features. Starting where your hand first grabs, you have a roomy yet contoured grip which fits both left and right handed shooters. The rifle reviewed here has the famed Soft-Touch finish, which is both warm and cool in feel, and supplies a bit of extra grip when you grab ahold of it. An optional Beech wood stock mirrors the shape with a more traditional look. Both come pre-drilled for easy installation of sling studs if you prefer to have them on your rifle.

Moving forward, the adjustable 2-stage trigger is positioned perfectly with an ideally curved blade and fitted inside an integral trigger guard for added safety. Speaking of safety, forward of the trigger blade is a toggle switch safety which disables the rifle and prevents accidental firing. The stock is clearly marked for Safe and Fire, ensuring this function is error free.
Moving to the front of the stock, the contoured fore end fits perfectly in your arms and is stable in shape and design for use in a front rest on the bench as well. Overall the balance of the Bantam Hilite is near perfection. Nestled under the stock is the quick fill port, finished cleanly with a magnetic dust cover. On the left side above the trigger is a clearly market nanometer showing the amount of pressure remaining in the Bantam's carbon fiber bottle.
Bantam Magnetic Dust Cover
Bantam Pressure Gauge
The rear of the stock sports an adjustable synthetic cheek piece, which actually proves useful after a long period of time because it prevents the stock finish from changing due to the oil in our skin. It also is ambidextrous in shape. Just a few inches back you find the adjustable rubber butt pad which is curved for comfort and improved control. Overall the stock is nicely designed.
The action sports a right hand bolt which is low in effort to cycle and very strong in design. The cocking cycle is smooth and you get a distinct click when you pull the bolt rearward.
Ultra-Smooth Cocking Bolt
The magazine is likely the best part of the whole package as it is rugged and smooth to cycle. Brocock was clever in designing the actuator into the center of the magazine, because this means the pellet never has to travel over a lever system. A plus for accuracy while using the magazine!
Rugged Magazine with Central Actuator Design
In front of the bolt is a wonderful little power adjuster. There are three distinct clicks of High, Medium and Low. We tested each using H&N Baracuda pellets for determining the highest power output on each and the results speak for themselves:
These features are contained inside a tidy mono-block breech and valve assembly which is finished with an 11mm scope rail. Due to its rear-set design, Brocock includes a cantilever scope rail that moves the entire mounting surface forward 3.25 inches and into perfect alignment with your eye using standard scope mounts like the Sportsmatch HT036C for 30mm scopes or the HT08C for 1-inch scopes.
Bantam Extended Scope Rail
Moving forward you have a 17 inch Lothar-Walther match grade barrel mated solidly into the breech assembly. This strength provides the consistency and durability in the field. The barrel is shrouded for noise control, and US models are finished with a Reflex style carbon fiber moderator which is responsible for bringing the noise down to backyard friendly levels!
Carbon Fiber Reflex Moderator comes standard on the US Hi-Lite model
Under the barrel is where the whole design began, with a 480cc carbon fiber bottle capable of delivering 75+ shots at full power in .22. Check out this amazing shot string:
OK, but what good is consistency and power without accuracy, right? Well, the Brocock Bantam checks that box too...in bold...with a permanent marker! Check out the group at 25 yards:
and 50 yards too:
The old saying that big things come in small packages could not be more true. The compact and sporty little Bantam from Brocock is every bit as powerful, consistent, accurate, quiet, and versatile as a full length rifle, but much much smaller, lighter, and easier to handle in the field or on the bench. Need we say more? Well done Brocock, the Bantam is a true winner!

Colo. storm packs punch with up to a foot of snow
DENVER – A powerful snowstorm is expected to blanket the Denver area and northeastern Colorado with as much as a foot of snow – snarling traffic and causing the cancellation or delay of hundreds of flights in and out of one of the nation's busiest airports.
National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Kalina said the storm had already dumped 6 inches of snow in some places by late Sunday morning and is expected to add another 4 inches through Sunday night.
The storm, which has packed high winds and caused blizzard conditions at times, is expected to make way for sun and warmer temperatures by Monday.
Laura Coale, a spokeswoman for Denver International Airport, said about 200 departures and arrivals have been canceled, and numerous flights have been delayed by up to two hours.
The airport averages 1,700 flights a day, but there are between 1,500 and 1,600 flights on an average Sunday.
Lisa Reid told The Denver Post (http://bit.ly/15cRsHK ) she was stranded at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport on her way home to Penrose, Colo., but her spirits remain high as she tries to "embrace the adventure."
"I knew it was going to snow, but didn't expect it to be severe until I saw the predictions last night," she said
Meanwhile, Ann Williams, a spokeswoman for Denver's Department of Public Works, said the city has deployed 70 plows to deal with the slow-moving system, which has caused numerous accidents on Interstate 25 and slowed traffic on Interstate 70 in the mountains.
"We're seeing a lot of icy roads," she said. "The pavement is very cold and the snow is bonding to the pavement so we have a lot of slick conditions. We are trying to stay with it. The snow is coming down fairly fast and fairly heavy."
For only the third time since a string of storms and hard cold caused dangerous driving conditions on residential streets in the winter of 2006-2007, the city has deployed four-wheel drive pickup trucks equipped with plows into residential neighborhoods, Williams said.
The Colorado Department of Transportation also is using 80 plows to clear the city's main traffic arteries, and crews on 12-hour shifts plan to work through Sunday night,
After the storm leaves Colorado, workers will remove snow from the sides of highways and will concentrate on the heavy ice that is expected to build up on the area's bridges, CDOT spokeswoman Mindy Crane said.
The storm also is causing problems at Denver homeless shelters.
The Denver Rescue Mission downtown opened its chapel early Sunday so homeless men have a place to go to get out of the cold, said spokeswoman Alexxa Tavlarides, who expects the shelter to fill as the day progresses.
This is the first winter since a Denver ordinance went into effect prohibiting anyone from unauthorized camping on public or private land.
"We want people to get out of the cold," Tavlarides said. "As the temperatures drop, it becomes dangerous."

GAFFNEY, S.C. – The Lady Tornado fell to 3-5-1 (2-4-1) on the season following a 3-1 defeat to the Limestone Saints on Saturday afternoon. Jamie Grigsby scored her third goal of the season to half the lead with 22 minutes to go but could not complete the comeback.
Junior Jamie Grigsby scored her third goal in the 68th minute of the game to turn a two-goal deficit into a one-goal contest with 22:06 remaining on the clock. The Oak Ridge, Tenn. native had her second consecutive game with a point following her assist against Belmont Abbey on Oct. 4. Rachel Thorpe (Ontario, Canada) recorded an assist on the play for her first points since scoring a goal and an assist against Brevard on Sept. 5.
Limestone scored the game's first goal when Taylor Sanders took a long pass down the middle of the pull and drew King goalkeeper Amanda Huffaker out of the goal and placed a shot past her for a 1-0 lead.
After trailing by the same score coming out of the half, Gabriella Reid added one to the scoreboard for her first of two goals in the match. After Grigsby's goal at 67:54, Reid scored her second of the day 12 minutes later to put the match out of reach.
Thorpe led the Lady Tornado with eight shot attempts in 90 minutes played. Amanda Huffaker made four saves before giving way to freshman Morgan Lawson (Goodview, Va.) who made her collegiate debut and played 22:06.
King (3-5-1, 2-4-1) will play Queens University of Charlotte on Oct. 10 with a 7 p.m. kickoff scheduled. Their road trip concludes at Pfeiffer on Oct. 13 before bringing the show back to Parks Field on Oct. 17.
