Following the 23-year reign of Susan as the knowledgeable and gracious host of Ambience on Sunday mornings, Ambience is now being brought to you through the courtesy of the Ambience Team. The Ambience Team consists of four staff members who share an interest in ambient music, and who enjoy keeping the tradition of Sunday morning ambient music alive on WWUH. The members are Dave DeMaw, 30-year staff member of WWUH and former host of The Greatest Show From Earth, who filled in for Susan on many occasions during her Ambience years; Mark Time, who was a staff member of WWUH for several years during the late seventies and early eighties and who recently returned to the station; Larry Bilansky, who also hosts his own Friday Evening Classics show, "The 20th Century Limited" on WWUH, and Dave Cyr, the team's newest staff member, who joined the WWUH staff in December of 2008 after listening to the station for 30 plus years. The schedule for the Ambience Team is as follows:
On months with four Sundays:
1st Sunday: Mark Time
2nd Sunday: Dave Cyr
3rd Sunday: Dave DeMaw
4th Sunday: Larry Bilansky
On months with five Sundays:
1st Sunday: Mark Time
2nd Sunday: Dave Cyr
3rd Sunday: Dave DeMaw
4th Sunday: Mark Time
5th Sunday: Larry Bilansky
These four hosts bring a wide variety of sounds to the Ambience audience, as each has his own musical leanings and show style. We hope our listeners are enjoying the new mix! If you have any comments you'd like to pass along to any or all of the Ambient Team members, please send an email to email@example.com, or phone your comments in to the WWUH listener line, at 860-768-5913.
In this issue of the program guide, we hear from Dave DeMaw, who provides his focus and approach to Ambience ...
Music has influenced me since the earliest days when dad played boogie woogie on the piano and entertained the family with his 78 rpm record collection. My father later worked at WATT-AM, a small town radio station in northern Michigan where conservative tastes dictated that records with non-commercial content were discarded. Many of these unwanted records passed to my hands; everything from the whacky sounds of Spike Jones to the frenetic bass work of Charles Mingus. There was a never ending flow of unique rock, blues, jazz, and novelty songs that lived only in the confines of my room.
Listening to AM broadcast stations on a crystal set, and later on my first 6-transistor radio opened the wonderful world of air personalities and the endlessly repetitious top 40. At WLS in Chicago there was the infamous Dick Biondi. WOWO in Ft. Wayne was another big gun AM station that rocked my sensibilities.

In 1975 I entered the University of Hartford as a mass communications major and quickly migrated to WWUH with its many eclectic, free-form shows. WWUH was a bubbling, creative vat of delicious sounds and blurred musical boundaries.
I assumed the controls of The Greatest Show From Earth when host Mark Persky left for his first commercial job in radio at WBLM in Maine. My weekly broadcast soon featured progressive rock, electronic, ambient, space, fusion, world, and avant garde sounds. Sunday night had become a place and time to experiment. In 1984 I moved out of state for a couple of years. Mark Delorenzo not only replaced me, but he continues to host the Greatest Show From Earth for 26 years.
Since 1986 I have been an alternate for Susan's Ambience show. Last year she stepped down as your regular host and passed the duties to four staffers; Mark Time, Dave Cyr, Larry Bilansky, and me, Planet DeMaw. Each of us brings varying tastes and styles, but we share Susan's enthusiasm for ambient music on Sunday mornings.
Thank you WWUH and all listeners and supporters of our non-commercial radio station. I continue to learn from the many dedicated show hosts as well as from knowledgeable listeners. Being a community volunteer at WWUH is one of the most rewarding facets of my life.
Join us for Ambience on 91.3 FM
each Sunday morning
from 9 AM to 1 PM

Sweden, baby
The US does not have a monopoly on wakeskating. In fact, our little baby has gone so global it's not even funny. Check out some wakeskating from the land of Ace of Base, ABBA and delicious little meatballs: Sweden!
Sweden is definitely not the most beneficial country to be living in for a wakeskater. The season is short and most people only care to ride during the months June, July and August. Only a couple of us are dedicated enough to put up with the cold air and water in the spring and the fall.
The effect of that the wakeskating scene is so small over here is that no companies are that motivated to try and make it grow by organizing wakeskate only contests or shows etc. They don't see the potential that our sport has and therefore wakeskating remains a discipline under the wakeboard umbrella, and not it's own separate sport, which it really needs to be. There are usually around five or six wakeboarding comps with the wakeskating division as a side event.
Despite a lot of companies lack of interest for the industry, there are also companies that do care and want to push the sport by sponsoring riders.
Boat riding is the biggest aspect of wakeskating in Sweden, but winching is starting to grow bigger. Especially since our lakes ice up every now and then during the winter, making it impossible to leave the boats sitting in the water. With a winch we can go riding as long as the lakes or the ocean is free from ice, which tends to be more and more every year as the winters are getting milder up here.
The cable scene is nonexistent, because we don't actually even have any cable parks at all. The closest by cable is in our neighbour country Norway, and that's a ten-hour drive to get there.
I still think that the sport can grow here and hope that we have a larger scene in the future, with our own competitions and events.

There is no argument that the farm bill passed out of the Senate Agriculture Committee on Thursday was bipartisan. It was not, however, regionally inclusive as all four senators on the committee from the South – Arkansas' John Boozman, Georgia's Saxby Chambliss, Kentucky's Mitch McConnell and Mississippi's Thad Cochran -- voted nay.
And those nay votes didn't occur prior to the senators taking time during the markup to explain the negative impacts the legislation would have on southern agriculture – especially for rice and peanut producers.
Also of interest to growers will be a change in the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) test from $900,000 to $750,000 to qualify for farm programs. The amendment offered by Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley would also change qualification wording from "active personal management" to "actively engaged."
An unhappy Sen. Chambliss – who was especially vocal during the markup -- said the change in wording had come at a late hour. "I didn't realize, because we didn't get to see the amendment until very early this morning … about the change in the definition of 'actively engaged in farming.'
"This is a huge change that will impact every single farm in America. It will change who does qualify and who doesn't. I think that's a huge mistake."
Guest workers, the Harvest Act
The agricultural labor force and a workable H2A guest worker program were also atop Chambliss' agenda. "It's of critical importance that we discuss this issue … because everybody involved in agriculture is having the same problem across America with respect to an agricultural workforce that we know to be legal.
"The only guest worker program out there today is the H2A program, which is very cumbersome and very expensive. Most of our farmers simply don't want to go through the hassle. Whether you're farming specialty crops or running an agricultural business, you need to be able to depend on a quality supply of legal workers."
Times have changed in a dramatic way, continued Chambliss, who played up "the Harvest Act," which he said would be discussed further on the Senate floor. "Basically what this does to H2A is make it more workable, more farmer-friendly and says a farmer may bring in a supply of labor from outside the country for a period of 10 months. (The worker) will then have to go back for two months before coming back into (the United States).
"They don't have to be here for 10 months. Most farmers, under H2A, bring in workers for 90 days, 120 days, whatever their particular need is. Then, the workers have to go back…
"We're about 60 days away from harvesting Vidalia onions in the central part of Georgia. That commodity depends on workers who do the type of work that, frankly, most American workers don't want to do. You have to bend over, cut the onions, dig them up. That's just an example of one form of specialty crop farming in Georgia that relies very heavily on imported workers."
Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, committee chairwoman, said "everywhere in Michigan … I hear the same thing."
Heavy regulations, trade issues
Sounding a common complaint, Sen. Boozman offered, and then withdrew, several amendments targeting "heavy-handed regulations that have a negative impact on variety, quality, availability and affordability of food for the American family. Excessive regulation, duplicative permit requirements – all of these things are so burdensome."
He proposed the Secretary of Agriculture be provided the ability "determine whether any proposed major regulation would have a negative effect on access to affordable food. If the secretary makes such a determination an expedited congressional review would take place."
Pointing to a law already on the books, trade with Cuba was addressed by Montana Sen. Max Baucus. Baucus pulled few punches in calling out trade opponents, who have thwarted "Congressional intent" through onerous regulations regarding how shipments to the island nation are paid for. "Let's not forget that the United States is one of the few countries that don't trade with Cuba. And we're losing out. … Frankly, this has to do with presidential politics in Florida and I think it's wrong."
For more on Cuba trade, see here.
A study to consider a reorganization of the USDA's trade function was advocated by Nebraska Sen. Mike Johanns, a former Secretary of Agriculture. "Trade is absolutely critical to American agriculture. The U.S. exported $136 billion last year. … One of every three acres of production goes into the foreign marketplace. Increasing (overseas) populations, affluence and urbanization will require our farmers to grow more efficiently and put tremendous pressure on our trade functions…
"Thus it's increasingly important that USDA ensure that our trade is open and based on science." As former head of the USDA "I know well the importance of the department responding quickly and aggressively to … non-tariff trade barriers. If there was a surprise at the USDA in my time as secretary it was how much time I devoted to trade issues."
As part of the trade study, Johanns said "the secretary may include a recommendation for the establishment of an under-secretary for trade in foreign agricultural affairs."
Baucus agreed with the study proposal. "The United States does not spend enough time thinking about trade. … We're missing the boat when we don't more aggressively market our products, spend more time working on trade issues."
Rice and peanuts
The treatment of rice and peanuts in the proposed legislation has been a huge peg for southern lawmakers to hang their opposition upon.
"Fairness is important," Boozman said in the markup. "The result of the bill we have now is we've picked winners and losers. … The reality of that is it will make it more difficult as we go to the floor. I think it will make it much more difficult as we deal with the House."
Stabenow, who had been softly chided during the markup, conceded the point to a degree. "We know there's more work to do. … By proceeding with the STAX program (Stacked Income Protection Plan for cotton) and some other areas, we've made steps. Not as far as we need to."
For more on STAX, see here.
The committee, said Stabenow, has worked "very, very hard. And there's more to do. But we do have the STAX program for cotton. Within the new Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) program, we have specific reference points, prices, for rice and peanuts (set for rice at $13 per hundredweight with a minimum reference price for peanuts at $530 per ton). And we've put in place new crop insurance options – we know they aren't fully developed."
Near the end of the markup, in lieu of offering several amendments, Chambliss preferred to detail his opposition to several things in the proposed legislation. First up: payment limits and peanuts.
For more on a House hearing involving peanuts, see here.
"As I understand it, under the mark, the limit now is at $50,000. Economists at the University of Georgia have looked at this. With the change that's being made, the way the mark is written in respect to peanuts, I doubt there will ever be a peanut farmer that will qualify up to the level of $50,000. Peanuts are a high-cost commodity and … (have) capital requirements in terms of machinery. You have to have a special digger to dig them and a harvester to harvest them. That's unlike what you can do with changing heads (on harvesters) for soybeans and corn.
"We've experienced wide swings in crop prices because we're not a traded commodity. … That can lead to large payments during low commodity price years under the current program. Given the concentration of buyers of peanuts and the semi-perishability of peanuts … all of these issues come into play."
Rice, Chambliss said, has some similar issues. "It's hard to drown out rice because it grows in water. Therefore, crop insurance with rice works in an entirely different way from … corn or even cotton and peanuts."
Chambliss predicted that if the House takes up the bill "at all" it will be "more in the direction of what (senators from the South) have proposed … with respect to both peanuts and rice."
Prior to casting his "no" vote, Sen. Cochran said "on the floor of the Senate, I think we'll have to take advantage of opportunities to offer amendments that may have a chance of strengthening the bill, particularly as it relates to southern interests. Specifically, cotton, rice and peanuts deserve more of a break than they're getting in this bill in this committee. I regret that. … In the meantime, I can't support the bill."

November 20, 2012
Jeannie Wraight
Being an AIDS treatment activist holds lots of very special memories for me. I could go on telling stories for days of demonstrations, actions, conferences and everyone and everything that made them special. I joined ACT UP New York right after the first protease inhibitors were approved. The dying in the U.S. was just beginning to slow down and people were still afraid and angry. ACT UP still named those who had died during the week at each meeting.
While each new drug was approved, we demonstrated, did actions and zaps, went to conferences and worked for change. Sometimes there'd be six or seven of us sleeping in each run-down motel room as we traveled to take to the streets, storm stages, grab the mic at meetings and commandeer pharmaceutical booths. We worked to assure ethical clinical trials, fair pricing, access for all and much, much more.
In the midst of organized chaos, there was a sense of solidarity and spirit like I had never felt before. During this year's International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012), I felt that camaraderie once more.
The idea behind AIDS2012 Reunion was to provide a venue for community events occurring around Washington, D.C., during AIDS 2012. Fellow activist and friend David Miller had introduced me to the crew at the World AIDS Institute (WAI), the organizers of the event. We jumped on board just nine weeks before the conference to help with the hundreds of details and tasks needing to be done.
We stayed at the Westin City Center, a great hotel about a 15-minute walk from the conference center. The Westin was where some of the AIDS2012 Reunion events were held and was our home base. Also staying at the Westin was Timothy Brown, the first person to be cured of HIV, and his friend Ralfka Gonzalez. Timothy would be hosting some of the AIDS2012 Reunion events.
The conference room we worked out of during AIDS 2012 was conveniently located next to the bar and affectionately dubbed "The War Room." There, along with the staff of WAI -- which included executive director Dave Purdy, Chad Johnson Esq., Noel Short, a godsend of an intern named Angela -- and several others, including fellow TheBody.com blogger Kevin Maloney, we continued to organize and carry out the AIDS2012 Reunion events.
One of the things that made the week so special for me was spending time with Timothy Ray Brown and seeing what he meant to other people. He was what we had all been working for and wishing for and hoping for, for so long. He was cured. Cured of a disease that stole the lives of so many.
Timothy is a frail man, due to the ravages of leukemia and the procedures that lead to him being cured, but his spirit is unstoppable. It took only minutes for me to become very protective of him. We all were. We'd watch as he did interviews, ready to intervene if the reporter asked inappropriate questions. We worried when he looked tired. We watched him as he'd navigate across the room, and we stayed close if people we didn't know approached him.
The week went by quickly, with lots of high points, wine, work and laughs. The most moving moment of the week was the last night of AIDS 2012. We were preparing for an evening event being held downstairs at the Westin. When my husband Martyn and I arrived at the War Room, Dave Purdy met us at the door. He told us, with tears in his eyes, the news of two more people who may have been cured of HIV.
Although I now personally believe it was too early for doctors to have made this determination and announcement at AIDS 2012, at that moment I was speechless. The hope I felt stared back at me in Dave's eyes. He was a veteran activist on the frontlines of the AIDS crisis. He had lived through the worst of it. For us, this news meant that maybe, just maybe, this could be the beginning of the end. I felt hope.
Just as with Timothy's case, the procedure used on the two men couldn't be replicated for us all, but it was progress. The word "cured" was being used again. Would there be more? Could it be all of us someday? We were given a preview of what it would be like when a cure is found.
I sat in the War Room watching as, one by one, people walked in after Dave told them the news. Among those was a second fellow TheBody.com blogger, Aaron Laxton, who had begun spending time in the War Room and pitching in. Everyone had the same look on their face and tears in their eyes.
I know it's too early to tell whether these men are actually cured. I know that even if they are, it isn't a procedure that will work for 99.9% of us. But I also know that that night, in the War Room at AIDS2012 Reunion, I found the hope I needed to keep fighting.
Jeannie Wraight has been an HIV/AIDS treatment activist for more than 14 years. She was a longtime member of ACT UP New York and has participated in countless demonstrations and actions. She has attended more than 75 HIV conferences around the world and writes for several HIV publications. She has sat on many advisory boards, as well as the Board of Directors of Health People, an AIDS service organization in the South Bronx, New York. Wraight has been a blogger on TheBody.com since 2011.

Just when it's there ... oops, it's gone! A web page you want desperately is no longer on Internet? Maybe you used it a year ago or even a month ago, but now you get that pesky message that your web address is no longer valid, or some strange numbers which supposedly indicate the same thing.
Where did it go? Is it out there in cyberspace, floating around? What is cyberspace? Why isn't the web page on Internet?
I hope you can remember the title of the web page, or maybe the nature of it, such as Tennessee military records. You can always start searching for it, using your favorite search engine. Maybe the name has changed. Maybe somebody just removed it forever.
If you are using a bookmark or favorite area of your browser, consider getting to the root of the URL, such as this from my personal web page, http://www.incolor.com/rcoleman/pubhtml/page 2. html. If it doesn't come up, go to http://www.incolor.com and browse around or add the rcoleman/ on the end and see what pops up. Maybe I have omitted that page from my web site.
Google will usually show the word "cache" in the results. If the regular link doesn't open the web page, click on "cache" to see what was last shown for that particular web page. You will not be able to click on any of the links within a cached web page. Be sure you try other search engines also, such as Yahoo.com.
There is still hope. Try the Internet Archive's WayBackMachine. It's in a little box on the top part of their web page. Enter the URL that you currently have and with a little luck, your web page may turn up with the new URL.
Have fun and good luck!

We've all heard the old idiom, "You can't judge a book by its cover." And that's totally right — judging something based on a first glance often leads to false impressions and close-mindedness. However, covers, even in the age of eBooks, are still an incredibly important part of the browsing experience, and are often the first interaction a prospective reader has with a book. A cover should be artful, interesting, and represent some essence of the book. Often, it's the only actual image a reader will receive to spark their imagining of the world of the novel.
But, sometimes, especially with first-time authors, or authors whose art is solely the written word, covers can bring you the wrong kind of attention. For instance, you don't want to show up on Nathan Shumate's Lousy Book Covers Tumblr. While his site has caught a lot of flack, and unfairly ridicules artistic endeavors, he does offer some wise words in a Huffington Post article for authors when it comes to book design:
"Print design is a mode of communication all its own, and there is at least as much study and experience involved in gaining a competence in design skills as there is to becoming a credible wordsmith…a book's author is not automatically qualified to design her own cover."
It's true that there are tons of authors out there who are also insanely capable and skilled artists, but sometimes, we writers tend to overreach. We think, because we have just finished a book, why not just knock off the cover art right there? It's best to take a step back and think about different artistic skill sets. The last thing an author wants to do is put off a potential reader because of an unattractive cover.
Like everything else an independent author does, getting a nice cover for your book is a mix of networking and savvy. One idea is to take the whole cover design project and to make it into a promotion for your book. Post a sample chapter of your book and ask readers to use it to come up with ideas for a cover. Have a design contest, with the winner getting a free copy of the book they helped design. It gets the word out about your book before it's published and can help you reach out to readers and fans. Another option is to use one of Lulu's Book Cover Design services. A great way to avoid the "lousy cover" trap is to put the job in the hands of a professional artist.
And even though they are important, don't fret too hard over the cover. As prominent book cover artist Chip Kidd reminds us in an Esquire article titled How to Make People Buy Books: "There are so many factors that go into whether somebody buys a book — the jacket's just one of them."
And, to end on a high note, we have plenty of noteworthy examples of exemplary book covers by independent authors. You can peruse them in our Pinterest Indie Cover of the Day Album.

Years before the U.S. entry into World War II and the D-Day assault, some young men who spearheaded the Normandy invasion had joined their local National Guard unit mostly for the dollar a day.
It was the Great Depression after all, and the extra dollars helped buy food for their families, says Alex Kershaw in "The Bedford Boys," his book about a Virginia town that endured the nation's highest per-capita losses in the assault on June 6, 1944.
Civic pride and impressing girls also played a role, but "above all the Bedford boys were looking to pocket a dollar every Monday night after marching practice at the Bedford (Va.) armory," Kershaw writes.
By 1944, with World War II in full swing and National Guard units long since mobilized, American troops were earning more than a dollar a day. But they still weren't raking it in.
The lowest pay in the U.S. Army was $50 a month, according to an April 1944 article in Barron's. What about the average pay? It was $71.33 per month for enlisted personnel between 1941 and 1945, and $203.50 a month for officers, according to the National WW II Museum.
That lowest pay of $50 a month works out to $600 a year – or $8,082 a year in today's dollars, according to a Labor Department inflation calculator.
That Barron's article in 1944 argued the military's lowest earners could see annual take-home pay of $420, or $540 when adding the boost for serving overseas. That would easily top the net earnings of most civilians, who faced income taxes and other expenses, the article said. Perhaps Barron's wanted too boost morale among servicemen, and the publication also said: "Of course, none of these figures is intended to prove that military service is anything but a sacrifice."
Today, the lowest base pay in the military is $1,531.50 a month or $18,378 a year, according to the Defense Department. That's significantly higher than the $8,082 a year in today's dollars that the lowest earners got in 1944.
What do you think? Were U.S. troops on D-Day underpaid or overpaid? Vote below:

Canzler's two blasts part of O's eruption vs. Spain
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Wednesday's numbers don't count toward the Orioles' Grapefruit League statistics, but Russ Canzler must wish they did.

SARASOTA, Fla. -- Wednesday's numbers don't count toward the Orioles' Grapefruit League statistics, but Russ Canzler must wish they did.
Canzler crushed two homers and drove in six runs behind rotation hopefuls Jake Arrieta and Zach Britton as Baltimore cruised to a 19-7 win over Team Spain at Ed Smith Stadium on Wednesday.View Full Game Coverage
In Spain's last exhibition game before heading off to the World Baseball Classic's Pool C in Puerto Rico, the Orioles trotted out a lineup of mostly bench players and Minor Leaguers behind two pitchers, Arrieta and Britton, hoping to crack the Major League club's starting rotation.
Arrieta got the start and gave up an unearned run on three hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings.
"Sometimes, throughout the week before a start, a light bulb will go off," Arrieta said. "Whether it's something small mechanically in the bullpen or something you are doing on a certain pitch to kind of help you progress and be more consistent with that pitch. And that's happened over the past couple bullpens. I've had two real good sides leading into this game.
"So things are really starting to tighten up. I pulled a couple fastballs today, but for me, the biggest adjustment is making the adjustment to the next pitch. You know, making the correction. And doing that is something I'm more comfortable with, more confident with. And just need to keep moving forward."
Britton came on in relief and gave up three runs in two innings on four hits, a walk and two wild pitches. Pitching between those two, right-handed reliever Luis Ayala made his unexpected Spring Training debut by tossing a scoreless fourth inning.
The Orioles built up an early lead on Canzler's three-run shot to left field off Spain's starter, left-hander Richard Salazar, a former Orioles farmhand from 2001-07. Baltimore managed five runs on six hits and two walks against Salazar, who lasted 1 1/3 innings.
Baltimore extended its lead in the second inning, when first baseman Steve Pearce drove in catcher Jose Gil with an RBI single and Canzler plated Nolan Reimold with a sacrifice fly to left field. Canzler hit another homer in the fourth inning, a two-run shot to left field off lefty Ricardo Hernandez.
But Spain got on the board in the third inning. Rangers prospect Engel Beltre knocked a leadoff line drive to center that Baltimore's L.J. Hoes couldn't reel in. The play was ruled an error on Hoes, but Beltre turned it into a three-base mistake, wheeling all the way around to third and scoring on Paco Figueroa's groundout.
In the sixth, the O's put a nine-spot on the board, highlighted by Travis Ishikawa's blast, adding to their cushion.
Up next: The Orioles will host the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday afternoon, with right-hander Jason Hammel making his second spring start. Hammel will be opposed by lefty Mark Buehrle with the game scheduled for a 1:05 p.m. ET start, live on MLB.TV. Sergio Santos, Justin Germano, Claudio Vargas, Alex Hinshaw, Evan Crawford and Mickey Storey are also slated to pitch for the Jays.

Dear Jeffrey,
My family has owned an historic house in Port Hope, Ont., for over 40 years.
It was originally my parents' home, and when my mother died six years ago (my father passed four years previous) it was bequeathed to me. Since then, my family and I have used the house on weekends and holidays. We've done nothing to the house in terms of renovation or decor, as I thought it was disrespectful to the memory of my parents, but now it's time.
We cannot afford to tackle the entire house at once and before I take on the kitchen or bathroom, I would like to start with the room we use the most and refer to as "the back room." This is the cozy room with a fireplace beyond the kitchen where we hang out reading or playing games. My parents have a few antique pieces scattered throughout the house, but for the most part it's floral sofas and doilies. All of this to ask if you have any ideas for the decor of this room knowing that we have two teenagers (almost out the door for university) and we love comfortable furniture, but want the room to look as if it belongs in an historic home.
Thank you for reading this long ramble.
Dear Maureen,
After editing your email down to the above information I don't think it's a long ramble at all. You just like to be detailed.
Which actually makes the perfect segue to this week's photo. The room pictured was designed by Mr. Detail himself, Philip Mitchell. Philip has a self-named design firm here in Toronto and the room pictured is actually from the Chester, N.S., home that he shares with his partner, Mark Narsansky.
Their house is a Gothic Revival cottage, and in speaking with Philip, he told me that he and Mark did extensive research on their house before starting on their restoration. I bring this up before moving on to decor because I want to introduce the idea of a restoration as opposed to a renovation. You may choose to do as Philip and Mark did and research every original architectural detail of your house (inside and out) and as you embark on your "reno" room by room, implement some of these details for an authentic look and feel, turning it into a restoration. Just a suggestion.
And now for decor - I love the room above because it has a casual, comfortable feel but at the same time an air of properness. Not formal, just proper. Though we have never met, I picture you flaked out on the sofa doing the weekend crossword while someone does a puzzle on the coffee table and one of your kids is curled up reading in a leather chair. (if you have a dog, I picture her in front of the fireplace) Alternatively, I can also see you having the town elders in to take tea in this room. It's just one of those rooms.
The colour palette in Philip's sitting room was established to transition from summer months to the other seasons as he and Mark use the house year round. They wanted something "light enough for summer, but still had enough depth for winter."
Considering you use your house the same way, I think it's a good idea to consider a similar palette. He used Benjamin Moore Creamy White OC7 on the walls, providing a perfect neutral backdrop for the warm golden tones of the fabrics.
Philip mixed a chenille sofa with leather chairs and linen draperies to assist with the pan-seasonal feel. By including the beautiful wood chairs, accent pieces and lanternstyle ceiling fixtures, he's able to add to the authentic patina of the room. You mention a scattering of antique pieces in your home. Could any be relocated to "the back room" to help create a layered but still comfortable feel?
If you like the look pictured, I suggest sourcing your sofa and leather chairs at stores like Crate & Barrel or Pottery Barn. They're my go-to shops for this style and are well priced and very good quality.
The built-ins surrounding the doors at the end of the room were made to store their extensive book collection. Philip chose not to take the bookshelves all the way to the ceiling because the house would not originally have had shelves in this location and he wanted them to look as if they had been added over time. That, Maureen, is detail. Do you have any room to add builtins? It's a great way to make a cozy room even cozier, if space allows. And consider that Philip's bookshelves aren't typically where one would expect to find them.
Whether you choose to take on a full restoration of your historical weekend home or simply steer it away from floral sofas and doilies, I think you will find infinite inspiration from Philip and Mark's well-appointed room. With a little proper planning, your sitting room will look as inviting as theirs.
Good Luck.

I figure the Welcome area needs more topics so I shamelessly stole this thread from the VIGPS forum.So what's blaring, blasting, or being emitted from/by your speakers?Right now, for me, it's The Kiss by The Cure.The song speaks to such torment I'd like to send it out to all the Scrabble cachers . . .
My, my....aren't we being smug! Nothing is blaring out of the squawk boxes yet but I'm thinking Springstein's 'Murder Incorporated' or ACDC's 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' might ease some of the tension.
I'm sure these would go a long way to unwind my 'scrabbled' condition.
Oh, oh. Just switched to Hidden Place by Bjork. Guaranteed to soothe.And as loud as my subwoofer can take, because everything sounds better at volume!
He owes us all a beer, bevro! Be sure to hold him to that.
Am not listening to anything right now, but my current favorite is Bad Day by Daniel Powter! Might have to listen to it right away!
To show my somewhat bizarre and varied taste in music, I heard on the radio this morning on the way to work Must Be Doing Something Right by Billy Currington. Its sort of a schmaltzy country song but I quite like it....and Billy's not hard on the eyes either!
Great Big Sea...always a good choice. I really enjoy listening to Nickelback, Barenaked Ladies, and the old 80's standbys including RUSH and Streetheart. But prefer watching Christina Agulierra. Funny, couldn't find a SFW link to Christina.

A Cleveland television station took down an online story about the criminal past of Charles Ramsey, the man who helped free three women held captive in a neighbor's house for nearly a decade, after being flooded with complaints.
The story was factually correct, but written "too soon" in a city where the ugly case of alleged sexual predator Ariel Castro is too raw, said Jill Manuel, director of news at WEWS-TV, the ABC affiliate in Cleveland.
"They wanted to focus on the heroism displayed by him," said Dan Coyle, creative director at the station. "They didn't want to learn about his past."
The story was never aired on the TV station, just posted on its website for a few hours on Wednesday night. The station posted on its Facebook page Thursday that it made a "poor judgment call" to write about Ramsey's past. That message received 1,882 "likes" on Facebook.
Ramsey has become known not only for his actions Monday night that helped free the women, but for a colorful series of television interviews. It led several organizations to look into his past.
The Smoking Gun website posted documents from Ramsey's legal history. In a story about media interest in Ramsey, The Associated Press mentioned that organizations were looking into his past, and reported that he served jail time for domestic violence.
ABC's "Nightline" mentioned during an interview Thursday with Ramsey that he had a criminal past. The man explained that he had turned his life around.
"You reach that age and it's like 'Am I going to be a total schmuck for the rest of my life?'" he said.
Manuel said the station's focus on Wednesday should have been on the freed women. The decision to pull the story doesn't mean that Ramsey's past will never be addressed again, she said.
She said the station had not talked to Ramsey about the issue.

Involtini Of Beef
The South Beach Food and Wine Festival is going on right now even as I write this... and I couldn't go. I'm absolutely bummed out.
It is a 4-day festival taking place by the beach (U.S.'s Riviera, South Beach) which showcases the amazing talents of the world's most renowned wine makers, celebrated chefs and culinary personalities. It's the ultimate event to go for foodies and foodies at heart!
The truth is, it's not so much as I couldn't but that I didn't go - for valid reasons. The tickets for this event are a little expensive. With how the economy is going nowadays, it just doesn't seem right for me to be spending between $200-$400 (for the events I wanted to attend). Arrgghhh!!! I so wanted to go. A part of me is screaming and kicking like a child; but the wise part of me hushed the child down :oD While the experience and fun of meeting all those celebrity chefs whom I admire is arguably worth it, but fact remains - my going isn't a real need. It is just a want; something that I can do away with, or at least, put off for now. If there's any time to spend wisely, it is now. Besides, there's always next year, right?
This festival is definitely an item in my bucket list, so I have to go even for just once. I do hope things will work out for me next time. Till then, I am keeping my fingers crossed, and praying that the economy will take a better turn in the next months to come.
I don't know about you but good food always lifts me up. And since I needed cheering up, I thought that this dish, Involtini Of Beef (or beef roll-ups), would do the trick. It is pleasing to the eye and tastes fantastic! What's more, it is not at all complicated to do. I actually find this quicker to do than, say, lasagna.
If you've been visiting this blog often, you'd notice that my recipes are simple and easy to do. So this dish is right up my alley. Much as I'd like to cook, but I don't want to be spending too much time in the kitchen and not have enough time left to spend with my loved ones. The latter is important too, you know.
I made this for Mr. J for his birthday and he totally liked it. This dish may be simple, but it obviously requires some effort (and love) and the end product is special -- very elegant.
So go ahead and try this dish. As Ingrid Hoffman says, "If I can do it, you can do it!".
I am sharing this dish to Lasang Pinoy Sundays (La.Pi.S): EATS A WRAP!. Lasang Pinoy is a weekly food photography meme, hosted by SpiCes.
Involtini Of Beef
(Adapted from Giada De Laurentiis)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cups carrots, julienned (cut into thin strips)
1/2 cup red or yellow bell pepper (cut into thin strips)
1/2 cup zucchini (cut into thin strips)
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 (3 to 4-ounces each) beef scaloppini (from London Broil or Top Sirloin)
All-purpose flour, for dredging
1/2 cup dry white wine*
1 bay leaf
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup frozen peas
1-ounce thinly sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the veggies, onion, and garlic and saute until the veggies are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
4. Stir in the Parmesan.
5. Season beef with salt and pepper.
6. Using 2 tablespoons for each, divide the veggie mixture among the beef slices. 6. Roll up the beef slices to enclose the filling, tucking in the ends. Secure the rolls with toothpicks.
7. Heat the remaining oil and the remaining tablespoon of butter in the same large frying pan over medium-high heat.
8. Dredge the beef rolls in flour to coat lightly.
9. Add the beef rolls and cook until brown on all sides, about 8 minutes.
10. Add the wine and stir to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet.
11. Add the tomatoes with their juices and the bay leaf. Cover and simmer until the beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beef rolls to a platter.
12. Remove the toothpicks, then cover the beef rolls with foil to keep warm.
13. Add the peas and prosciutto to the sauce in the skillet and stir until the peas are heated through and the sauce reduces slightly, about 5 minutes.
14. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper.
15. Drizzle the sauce over the beef rolls and serve.
NOTE*: You may substitute wine with chicken broth, if preferred. As for the veggies, I didn't have zucchini on hand, so I just used carrots and green bell pepper and adjusted the amount accordingly .

They do present beautifully! I know what you mean about attending a food festival, exposition, etc. There's one here in Minneapolis next weekend but I simply could not justify the ticket cost at this time. Something to consider: apply to be a Foodbuzz's Foodie Correspondent (you can read details on the Publisher's Resource link) to cover the event and posting about it on your blog. If accepted, Foodbuzz will try to secure a press pass for you; unfortunately, the Food & Wine Experience people turned down my request. Sigh. Maybe next year . . .

Caseynell needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 24 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
The Senior List (http://www.theseniorlist.com) is a consumer opinion portal that links users to peer-reviewed senior services nationwide. We are looking for creative design submissions for buttons/banners that we can run on affiliate and/or partner sites. Visit The Senior List to take a look at our layout, color schemes, and what we offer. Many have likened us to the next Angie's List, so your designs will be seen by many!
Our target audience includes boomers that are looking for eldercare services for a family member, or for themselves. It also includes the many elder care service providers that are using sites like ours to market their services.
Our logo with or without our tag line (consumer reviews for senior services) should be included. Try to use similar color schemes that we're using on the site. Would like to see several sizes, or one that can be stretched or shrunk as needed. We will need a 125x125 button, a 160x600 banner, and a 300x250 size.

The latest development in the Pilot Flying J scandal won't come as a surprise, because most assumed it already was happening. But WEWS-TV in Cleveland conclusively reports that a federal grand jury in Knoxville is "now investigating allegations of fuel rebate fraud involving Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam and his Knoxville, Tennessee-based Pilot Flying J Travel Centers."
Because grand juries operate in secret, their existence becomes known only when they issue indictments. For the five Pilot Flying J executives who already have pleaded guilty, the agreements apparently came without a formal indictment.
With one of the five stating in his plea deal that "senior management" was aware of the fraud scam, it's no surprise that a grand jury is considering more charges against more executives, all the way up to Haslam himself.
Haslam has denied knowledge of any fraudulent activity.
If prosecutors have indeed put Haslam in the middle of their radar screen, it won't be hard to get him indicted. The one-sided presentation of evidence, orchestrated by prosecutors, needs only one witness who tells the grand jury that Haslam knew — without the witness being subjected to cross-examination or any other scrutiny.
So at this point it'll be an upset if Haslam isn't indicted. Sort of like if the team Haslam now owns would beat the team Haslam used to own a piece of.

Last Monday Apple announced that they were enlisting the Fair Labor Association to do independent audits of their manufacturing facilities in China at the Foxconn factory in Shenzhen where human rights issues have been a hot topic recently. Over the weekend Foxconn announced they'd be raising workers' wages by 16%-25% to about $400 per month before overtime as well as cutting overtime hours. In January 2010 eighteen workers jumped to their deaths off of the roof of the Foxconn factory where Apple products are manufactured and the company has been accused of forcing workers to endure extensive overtime and poor living and working conditions.
Over the past few years, international scorn has descended not only on Foxconn — and other Chinese factories — but also on Apple for enlisting factories with poor conditions to manufacture their products. The world's most successful company has been accused of sins like polluting the environment and child labor among other things. Foxconn, who has been involved in most of Apple's manufacturing hiccups, employs 1.2 million workers and creates an estimated 40% of smartphones, computers and other electronics sold worldwide. A pleasant working environment isn't made through better wages and less overtime, though this move is surely a step in the right direction.
The international concern over working conditions at these Chinese factories seems to have finally sunken in but the raising of wages and cutting overtime will have distinct effects on the markets in the rest of the world that consumers must learn to get used to. Higher wages mean more expensive products — Foxconn manufactures devices for Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Apple — and less overtime means a slower delivery of products to our shelves and doorsteps. Raising wages means price hikes which could initiate an even greater change, the move to bring those manufacturing jobs back to the United States. If Chinese-made products become more expensive, it may become less cost effective to make things overseas which could bring that manufacturing work back to America's once-humming factories. Domestic-made products have less of a carbon footprint thanks to the elimination of that oily, emissions heavy steamship ride from China.

If there was ever a week to go 1-0, this is it.
Wisconsin is 10-1 and just needs a win this Saturday against 7-4 Northwestern to assure itself a share of its first Big Ten title since 1999. And depending on how two other conference games shake out, the Badgers could feel quite flowery by game's end.
UW's game starts at 2:30 CT, with co-Big Ten leaders Ohio State and Michigan State playing at 11. If the Badgers win, a Spartans loss gives the Badgers the conference's automatic BCS berth to the Rose Bowl, while a Buckeye upset at the hands of Michigan sends MSU to Pasadena. If all three teams win out and finish 11-1, 6-1 in conference play, the highest-ranked squad in the BCS — almost certainly Wisconsin — gets the bid.
The results of the other two games will be featured on the Camp Randall scoreboard, so there's no keeping the Badgers from knowing exactly what could be on the line during their game.
"We're not going to ask the scoreboard people to keep it off the board, so it just kind of comes as it is," UW head coach Bret Bielema said. "I think the part that's nice for us all going into this week is we're already in a situation where if we just handle our business, take care of what we're supposed to, whatever happens on Saturday outside of Camp Randall is in other people's hands. We'll just handle our own."
A Rose Bowl bid for the Badgers would be awesome. GO BUCKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DENVER—Gun control and violence is up for its first debate of the year in the Colorado Legislature.
A Senate committee is scheduled Monday to consider the first gun-related bill of the legislative term.
The measure would permit school officials to allow employees to carry concealed weapons. Under current law, an individual with a valid permit may not carry a concealed handgun at any public K-12 school.
Groups opposed to the measure plan to hold a rally outside the Capitol to talk about gun violence and measures to prevent it.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Erik Etherly scored a season-high 25 points and senior guard Robert Olson posted his first career double-double to lead Loyola (Md.) to a 63-51 win over Siena on Friday night.
Olson had 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Greyhounds (17-8, 9-4 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference), who held an opponent under 60 points for the 12th time this season.
Both teams got off to slow starts, with the score 8-8 after nearly 6 minutes. Although Loyola built a nine-point lead, the Saints got within one and trailed 30-27 at halftime.
With Siena holding a 37-36 lead with 11:14 left, a jumper by Julius Brooks sparked a 19-5 run putting the Greyhounds comfortably ahead.
Dylon Cormier added 11 points and four steals for Loyola, which made 19 of 30 free throws compared to 10 of 13 for the Saints.
O.D. Anosike led Siena (6-18, 4-9) with 16 points and 16 rebounds.

Oh, how I hate this stupid question:
Many popular scientists are atheist, so why are they so happy to use the misty-eyed language of religion?
Check your assumptions, journalist. Why do you associate feelings of wonder and awe with fucking religion? Look at the stuff she quotes from prominent scientists: it has nothing to do with religion, except that religion has spent millennia appropriating these ideas.
It's ironic that the public engagement with the science crowd is so pro-wonder, because they're so anti-religion. "All the great religions have a place for awe, for ecstatic transport at the wonder and beauty of creation," writes Richard Dawkins. "And it's exactly this feeling of spine-shivering, breath-catching awe – almost worship – this flooding of the chest with ecstatic wonder, that modern science can provide."
"I'm an atheist," said maths professor Marcus du Sautoy when he took up the Charles Simonyi chair in the public understanding of science at Oxford. "But for me the important thing is the wonder of science." Advocates for science can't seem to give up on religion's selling points: the awe, transcendence, and worship.
Notice what the godbots have managed to do: they have taken a child's delight in the natural world, stolen it, and said, "Awe belongs to god; you aren't thrilled with dandelion fluff, stars in the sky, or the leap of an antelope, you're really feeling ecstasy at gods and the supernatural."
That's a lie. The scientists are taking back a stolen joy and placing it where it belongs: in our universe, in our natural world, in us. The journalists should be asking instead how we got so duped that we take it for granted that we're worshipping an invisible man when we find happiness in a clear warm sky and the scent of grass on the wind and a calm sense of our place on Earth.
That isn't the language of religion. The language of religion is dominion, tribalism, ignorance, and fear.

Whatever doesn't kill Goldman Sachs makes it stronger.
Goldman Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein said on CNBC that the Wall Street powerhouse was "probably going to be a better firm" after conducting a "tremendous deep dive" internal investigation into accusations by former Goldman employee Greg Smith that the firm's culture had been corrupted and clients were mistreated.
(Read more: Goldman CEO Says Tougher Regulation Needed)
"I'll tell you the truth, I have anxiety about these things. I don't know always what we don't know," Blankfein said.
If you haven't already guessed, Goldman says that it emerged from its self-investigation completely exonerated from any wrongdoing.

The adventures of ICARUS continue! And they're more DANGEROUS than ever!
We all know the legend of Icarus and Daedalus. Imprisoned by King Minos to prevent the secrets of the Labyrinth (which Daedalus built to hold the dreaded Minotaur) being revealed, they manufactured wings from bird feathers and wax in order to escape the island of Crete. Many years were spent on this endeavour, and when the day - and moment of truth - finally arrived whereupon they put their plan into action, the Gods smiled on them and the wings worked as they were meant to. As the duo fled Crete and made their way across the seas, however, reckless Icarus got carried away with his success and the elation of flying and grew over-confident of his abilities. Ignoring his father's words of warning as mere fatherly over-protectiveness, he allowed himself to fly higher into the mid-day sky, drawing so close to the sun that its heat melted the wax holding his feathers together. His wings came apart and he plummetted into the sea far below, where his story came to an abrupt and watery end. Or did it?
In "Icarus Dangerous", it's not quite where the adventure ends. In fact, it's just the beginning of a wild ride that will take Icarus closer to the sun - and beyond - than he ever imagined! Strange beings, out-of-this-world situations and a whole host of legendary foes await him on his journey. Before long, he's going to curse the reckless, danger-prone nature which caused him to ignore his father's words. And he's going to have to fly like he's never flown before if he wants to live to regret it!
"Icarus Dangerous" chapter 1 appears in Issue 7 of Eagle-Award nominated comic "PARAGON", with art by Stephen Prestwood and letters by JIM CAMPBELL.
You can buy a print copy of the comic (FOR €3.00) here or download a digital copy (FOR €1.00) here

Money, fame, pressure and expectation: The forces of his professional future are coming together with an intensity no other 17-year-old surfer has ever experienced.
He sleeps like an angel: curled up on his side, dark eyebrows slightly raised, hugging his pillow to his chin. His adult-looking face, with its startling jade eyes, retired for the day; transformed into child-like repose, numb and divine. A face at peace with a world that is treating him so kindly.
Or, so it would seem…
Leaning against a bare wall in his room, I listened to the sounds of the night: Kelly's measured breathing, the hissing of the nearby Atlantic—and, strangely, the low snorting of two manatees lumbering by in the lagoon system that laces itself through the backyards of sea-level Cocoa Beach.
I glanced at the alarm clock. It was 3:00 AM on a January school night. Kelly and I had been up slumber-party talking, and the conversation had just drifted off. He was gone in a matter of seconds. I was alone with my thoughts.
Now and then the night wind would lift the tattered sheet that was nailed up over his open window, and spirit its way around his room. In one corner were a few split packing boxes, overflowing with trophies. In another was a single chest of drawers. Across the room was a closet with its doors off the hinges, and hanging inside was what looked like a salesman's ultimate sample rack of every surf apparel manufacturer in the business: wetsuits, T-shirts, sweats, the works—most with their tags still dangling. And to my left, on the otherwise naked walls, was the single poster Kelly had tacked up, depicting a cartoon character with its head up its own ass. The slogan read: YOUR PROBLEM IS OBVIOUS.
On the tile floor, Kelly was lying on a mattress with a blanket pulled up to his chin.
The look and feel of this household I'd become a part of a few days earlier had been a surprise to me. Considering Kelly Slater's Golden Child public image, already seasoned by years of advertising, I'd expected something a bit more…well, silver spoon. I found myself oddly pleased it wasn't. There were no pretenses here—this was Salt-of-the-Earth stuff.
From the moment I walked in the house—a white stucco tract unit—I'd been treated like family. Furthermore, the Slater clan was one of the most easygoing and loving I'd ever come across: mother Judy a one-time firefighter, bartender, waitress and currently unemployed; stepfather Walker a marine engine mechanic; older brother Sean and younger brother Steven. The family had been nomadic for three years now, since Judy's divorce from the children's natural father; moving from house to house, keeping a lot of things in boxes. They'd been renting this house for the last six months, but it too, was up for sale, and rumor had it the realtor had found a buyer. They'd be moving again soon. No one was quite sure when.
I looked at the clock: 3:05 AM. Again, the sheet over the window moved. Beyond was what Kelly had referred to as "the whole world out there." Funny how he'd put it that way. As if it were a separate entity, laying in wait; a presence expecting such big things from him
My impressions of the last five days were coming like still-life photos now; a mosaic of random moments that shed some light on the inner workings of this 17-year-old prodigy sleeping before me.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag for the United States of America, and to the country for which it stands…." I was in trouble, struggling to remember the words, a little off cadence. After all, it had been about 20 years since I'd recited the Pledge. And to make matters worse, my voice—which is about 10 times as deep as anyone's in the room—was throwing the whole class off. A little girl, in what looked like her mother's glasses, was already rolling her best, "oh, brother!" eyes at me.
We finished up, and I squeezed into a chair. I was spending the day with Kelly Slater at Cocoa Beach High School, in his social studies class; sort of a Day-in-the-Life exercise with the world's most famous amateur surfer.
Teacher took the podium. "Now, class, yesterday we left off talking about what life would be like in the Soviet Union. Does anyone have any ideas on what…oh, say, Kelly's life would be like in the USSR?" The question seemed a little odd, but I felt a surge of high school flashback, and my hand almost shot up. Someone beat me to it.
A wiseguy: "I think he'd freeze to death without a wetsuit…." That really busted the room up. Took a while for us to settle down.
Teacher continued: "I think we can do better than that. How about a show of hands?" She scanned the room like a master, waiting just long enough for a few kids to start wiggling their fingers before making her choice. "Okay…John?"
