Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center announced plans Monday to meet the area's growing need for specialized wound treatment by implementing a comprehensive wound care program on its downtown campus.
The centerpiece of the program will be a new wound care center with two hyperbaric chambers that will allow patients to receive 100 percent oxygen to speed the healing of their wounds, thereby providing a more advanced treatment option for those who qualify for the procedure.
A certificate of need application for the program has been filed with the state health department. The center is scheduled to open in October, pending regulatory approval.
The Niagara Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center will offer advanced healing therapies, proven clinical protocols, individual patient treatment plans and a disease-management approach to wound healing.
"This new center is another example of our commitment to providing our patients with the highest quality care," said Memorial President and CEO Joseph A. Ruffolo. "We see a tremendous need that is not being met and we're excited about providing this comprehensive care."
The center is being developed in conjunction with The Center for Wound Healing Inc., one of the country's leaders in comprehensive wound management programs.
"Our physicians identified a significant need and our research verified there is a considerable population of patients not being served who would benefit from this care," Ruffolo said. "This advanced treatment is the most cost-effective approach available for providing wound care to diabetics and the elderly. Its use prevents hospital admissions and readmissions and reduces emergency room visits by those patients."
Wound care programs specialize in treating chronic or problem wounds, typically those that fail to respond to conventional treatment within 30 days. Such wounds are typically associated with medical conditions such as diabetes, poor circulation and immobility.
When those wounds persist, specialized care is required for healing to allow patients to resume their normal lifestyle activities.
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers work by surrounding the patient with 100 percent oxygen at higher-than-normal atmospheric pressure. This increase in the amount of oxygen stimulates the tissues and helps the wounds heal more quickly.
Under the direction of Michael Mitchell, M.D., a vascular surgeon and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the Niagara Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center will offer a multidisciplinary approach to chronic wound issues with board-certified physicians specializing in general surgery, plastic surgery and vascular surgery.
"Besides having the only diabetes and endocrinology center in the area, Memorial has the skilled medical specialists necessary to support a robust, comprehensive wound care program," Ruffolo said. "In addition to our surgeons, those specialties will include endocrinology, podiatry, primary care, infectious disease prevention and, of course, hyperbaric medicine."
"People with slow-healing wounds that have not gotten better with other treatments no longer have to suffer," Mitchell said. "Using leading-edge technologies, the team at Niagara Falls Memorial is completely devoted to healing problem wounds and to helping restore overall health."
Niagara Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine Center will be located in Memorial's medical office complex on the seventh floor at 620 10th St., across the street from the hospital. A $700,000 investment will be made to renovate and equip the center, which will create five jobs.

Mayor pro tem Verna Rollinger raised more than $9,000 at a June 16 fundraiser, according to a press release.
The event, held at the home of Debbie Lewis, helped raise money to support her reelection to the Laguna Beach City Council. A light supper and silent auction was held.
"What makes Laguna Beach such a special place? Why did we decide to come here or stay here to live?" Rollinger asked supporters.
"Our Laguna is about taking care of each other, acting as responsible stewards of the beautiful environment we share, solving problems by working together, and respecting the diverse expressions and aspirations of each member of our community," Rollinger said at the event.
Guests included Bonnie and Arnold Hano, Councilwoman Toni Iseman, former Councilman Bobbie Minkin, and more than 90 others.
"I love what we're doing to keep the dream alive," Rollinger told supporters, "and I want to continue working on the City Council to keep Laguna Beach the special place that it is, because there is more work to be done."
Laguna Beach Legal hosts Dicterow fundraiser
Laguna Beach Legal held a fundraiser June 15 for Steve Dicterow, who also is running for City Council, according to a press release. Dicterow previously served on the council for 12 years and was a three-time mayor of the city.
The event was held at the home of Paula Lingelbach, and appetizers and champagne were served, courtesy of French 75, the release said.
World-class concert pianist Giovanni, accompanied by singer/songwriter Gustavo Alarco, entertained guests.
The committee for this event included Ellie Tipton Ortiz, president of Laguna Beach Legal Inc., Connie Burlin, Sande St. John, Wendy Potter, and Roland Ortiz..
Whalen event raises $5,200
City Council candidate Bob Whalen held a campaign event June 14 at The Rooftop Deck, according to a news release.
"I am guided by a desire to make Laguna Beach a better place to live, to work and to visit," Whalen said at the event. "That doesn't happen by accident. It takes vision, leadership and hard work and I am willing to work hard to improve the city."
Hosts of the event included Chris Keller, Amy Amaradio, Gregg and Kathy Abel, Ketta and Jeb Brown, Laurie Kraus, Donnie Crevier, Mark Christy, El and Lori Hathaway, Mary Kate, Kirk Saunder, Morris and Stephany Skenderian, Laura and Lou Rohl, and Peggy and Josh Wolff.

The event raised $5,200 for Whalen's campaign fund.
Addressing the gathering, Whalen highlighted some key issues for the city.
"The first priority for the city is to maintain a strong fiscal position," Whalen said. "Without a healthy financial base we can't accomplish anything significant."

Karger ends presidential bid
In other news, gay Republican presidential candidate Fred Karger announced June 28 that he is ending his run for the White House.
"We are folding up our big tent and ending our historic campaign for president," he said in an email. "Thanks to all who supported this undertaking. I am forever grateful."
Karger, 62, said this will not be the last that Lagunans see of him in politics. He plans to be involved in politics and civil rights during his retirement, drawing on his years of experience as a political consultant for the Dolphin Group.
The Laguna Beach resident remarked that he ran the longest campaign story of the election cycle, beginning in December 2009 and wrapping up at this week's Utah primary.
He discussed his goals as the first gay candidate for president in a previous Coastline Pilot article.
Karger, who acknowledged Mitt Romney had the GOP nomination, said he continued to campaign in California and Utah "where it was an honor to be on both state Republican ballots."
Karger said he will not be endorsing Romney, due to his signature on the National Organization for Marriage's Marriage Pledge. He called NOM a "known hate group."
In the previous story, he said he helped spur an investigation in Maine of the organization, which is accused of money laundering. He said he also received notice that it is being investigated in California as well.
After a busy year of campaigning, he said he plans to spend the summer relaxing in Laguna.
He said he's anxious to "do all the things that were put on hold the last couple of years," such as riding his Vespa and spending time with friends.

America's first female firefighter (and she was black!)
Molly Williams was the cook for a member of one of New York City's volunteer fire companies in the early 1800s, and became famous when she pitched in, helping the men battle fires.
Dianne Ochiltree's book compresses time and history to tell the dramatic story for which Williams is best known: A house fire erupted during a blizzard, and she joined the other volunteer firefighters, helping drag a pumper engine through the heavy snow. Strictly speaking, that wasn't her baptism by fire (sorry) — one historical record has Williams responding to a blaze in 1815, three years before the blizzard that inspired "Molly, By Golly!" But she did indeed go on to help fight fires for years.

For more than a hundred years, breeds of all shapes and sizes have vied to be named top dog at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.This year, 185 breeds and varieties competed for the title Best in Show. Some breeds have grabbed the coveted title more times than others.
Here, we look at the breeds that have won the most Best in Show awards and how much it would cost to purchase a puppy in that group. Since several factors affect the price of a potentially award-winning pup, each breed has a price range. Those factors include pedigree, location of the breeder, age of the puppy and whether it was bred to be a pet or a potential show dog. To purchase an older show dog, especially one that has won awards, expect to dig even deeper into your wallet.

I created the original Revels Website in November, 1997, and was Revels Webmaster for 5 years.
Since Revels, Inc. no longer wishes to host the pages devoted to some of the older shows, I've placed the retrospective pages on shows from 1995 to 2001 on one of my own sites, for the benefit of cast members and nostalgic fans.
Spring Revels 2001
- The Spring Revels made its annual return to Boston with four performances, May 4 - 6, 2001, at the historic Emerson Majestic Theatre in Boston's Theatre District.
The 2001 Spring Revels focussed on the great waves of immigration in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries from Europe to the United States, and particularly, to Boston. Immigration brought together people who knew little about each other's heritage and customs but who were determined to make a life side by side in the New World.
We met some of these Italian, Irish and Eastern European Jewish families as they got to know each other, sing songs, tell tales, dance and celebrate both their differences and their shared experiences and ambitions.
Spring Revels' many highlights included Irish stepdancing, a Purimshpil Mummers Play, Italian folk tales, audience participation and a meshugina Klezmer Band! Additional performers included The Revels chorus of adults and children and David Coffin, Revels' master of ceremonies.
Christmas Revels 2000
- The Christmas Revels celebrated its 30th Anniversary by quilting a tapestry of rich American folk traditions ranging from Appalachian to Gospel, and expanding to 18 performances at historic Sanders Theater.
For thirty years, Revels has been celebrating the winter solstice at historic Sanders Theatre. Revels audiences have traveled to many unfamiliar lands and times through music, dance and drama. This year's production found Revels back home - in the mountains of Appalachia - as we celebrated the courage of the African Americans who traveled the "Gospel Train," and rejoiced in the simplicity and warmth of an Appalachian Christmas.
We hope you joined us on our big front porch and enjoyed the moving harmonies of The Silver Leaf Gospel Singers, a 6-voice a capella gospel choir that's been together for more than fifty years (and who've vowed to keep singing together "until the angels get happy"). And while you're there, stayed a while and listened to the quiet beauty of a Tennessee lullaby sung by 7th generation Appalachian singer and storyteller, Sheila Kay Adams, another of our many featured performers. Also appearing was a wonderful string band, the 40-member Revels Chorus, The Rocky River Children, The Smoky Mountain Dancers, The Cambridge Symphonic Brass Ensemble, and frequent Revels performers Janice Allen and David Coffin. We danced through the grand lobby of Memorial Hall as David led the audience in Revels' signature piece, "Lord of the Dance," a true ritual of our own.
Spring Revels 2000
- Spring Revels 2000 took us on a waterways journey with its start in Acadia, an area of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick first settled by French colonists in the 1600s. When the British took control of Canada in 1713 these early pioneers chose exile over answering to a foreign authority. Many took the long river route to the south, down the Mississippi to the Louisiana territories where eventually they became known as "Cajuns."
Directed by Patrick Swanson, Spring Revels followed the fortunes of these early pioneers in a musical journey suggested by Longfellow's epic poem Evangeline. It was an exuberant celebration of Spring in typical Revels style: from the distinctive fiddling and dancing of a Cape Breton barn raising to the noisy street celebration and spicy melodies of a Cajun Mardi Gras. Spring Revels boasted an outstanding ensemble including Acadian recording artists, Barachois, exhilarating musicians from Prince Edward Island that kept the audience's toes tapping! Other performers included acclaimed actress Paula Plum, and musician Tom Pixton.
The Mysteries 2000
- Revels, Inc., in collaboration with Tina Packer's Lenox-based Shakespeare & Company, produced a special millennium production of The Mysteries, two weekends in March at the Boston Center for the Arts Cyclorama Building in the South End.
Originally produced to great international acclaim by the Royal National Theatre of Britain in 1985, The Mysteries is contemporary British playwright Tony Harrison's adaptation of plays from the York, Chester, Wakefield and Coventry traditions originally written and performed by working men, craftsmen and members of the Guilds.
Sea Revels 1999
- Directed by Patrick Swanson, Sea Revels explored the cultural effects of the trade cycle which brought rum and sugar from the Carribean to Boston, timber to England and slaves from Africa to the Georgia Sea Islands.
The cultural influences were many. A true tradition bearer, Janice Allen learned her extraordinary repertoire from the late Bessie Jones, to whom the Smithsonian awarded the title of "national treasure" for her many decades of teaching, performing, and keeping alive the vibrant music, dance and folk tales of the Georgia Sea Islands.
Christmas Revels 1999
- The 1999 Christmas Revels was set in the Italian Renaissance, an age when Science, Art and Music experienced a magnificent rebirth. This astounding burst of creative energy led to a tremendous flowering of the arts (including painting, architecture, music, sculpture and dance) and prolific invention in the world of science.
Revels favorite David Coffin led an extraordinary company of singers and musicians including the Renaissance dance band Renaissonics, led by John Tyson on recorder, pipes and fiddle, and the a cappella early music trio, Tapestry, with mezzo-soprano Laurie Monahan, alto Daniela Tosic and Cristi Catt, soprano.
Sea Revels 1998
- The performance began at the turn-of-the-century, dockside in Boston Harbor.Peddlers and newsboys spilled about the bustling streets, filling the air with a cacaphony ofstreet cries. Before it's over, our theatrical voyage took us from the docks to the sea, withthe fishermen and whalers, to the Carribean with its pounding island rhythms and Carnival-like festival of Junkanu and, eventually, back home to safe harbor.
Featured performers included British balladeer and chanteyman Lou Killen, Bahamian musician and storyteller Derek Burrows and, making a rare Boston appearance, Revels' founder John Langstaff. In addition, Paula Plum, named Outstanding Actress by Boston Theatre Critics in 1995, narrated the tale of Lieutenant Cockatoo, written by the late English stage direcror, Ronald Eyre and performed by cast members with assistance from the magical puppets of local artist Sara Peattie.
Christmas Revels 1998
- The 1998 Christmas Revels took us on a Dickensian journey through Victorian England and the wonderful music, songs, dances and carols of that lively and colorful era. Featured performers includedBritish folk singer/tradition bearer David Jones; pianist Jacqueline Schwab, a frequent musiccollaborator of documentary film maker Ken Bums and a member of "Bare Necessities;" actors PatrickEnglish, Sarah deLima and Richard Snee; the 40-member Revels Chorus; a merry company of Music Hall "artistes;" the Pudding Lane Waits; the Dingley Dell Dancers; a magnificent parlour orchestra; theCambridge Symphonic Brass Ensemble; a double-dose of Morris dancers from The Pinewoods Morris Men and the Rose Galliard Northwest Morris; and even British "royalty" in the guise of the(aptly-named) "Pearly" King and Queen!
Midsummer Revels 1997
- The1997 Midsummer Revels traveled North, into Eastern Canada and the Maritimes for a special French Canadian program featuring lively and traditional music, rituals, step dancing and folk tales. Largely influenced by French and British territorial settlers, French Canadian culture is enormously rich and vital. Sharing their music, songs and stories will be a pair of exceptional Qu�becois musicians, Beno�t Bourque and Gaston Bernard who were joined onstage by Cape Breton fiddler and local favorite Joe Cormier.
Christmas Revels 1997
- The 1997 Christmas Revels explored the mysterious and fascinating culture of the Romany Gypsies, following these nomadic people from their origins in Northern India to their travels through Eastern Europe to England and France and ultimately, to Andalusia in Spain.
The scope of the 1997 Christmas Revels was broad and included spectacular stories, music and dance from a variety of sources. Heading a cast of more than 80 performers was master storyteller Jay O'Callahan as "Old Rom", a mysterious but respected elder who knows the old tales which link Travelers from all times and places. Other performing artists included The New England Romanian Ensemble. Neena Gulati and members of the traditional Indian dance company Triveni Dance, Roberto Rios and El Arte Flamenco.
Midsummer Revels 1996
- This show, at Lincoln's De Cordova museum, was focussed on the "Tinkers" or "Travelling People of Ireland and the British Isles.
Christmas Revels 1996
- The 1996 program took us on a journey to 19th-century Brittany, in Northern France.
Set in a region rich in ancient stone circles and soaring cathedrals, this Breton Revels transported us, via the magic of storytelling, to an age of chivalry and romance, of bombardes and bagpipes, and the time of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
Master troubadour John Fleagle, formerly of Project Ars Nova and a frequent Boston Camerata soloist, rejoined the Revels in a featured role. The ultra-versatile singer and instrumentalist was joined onstage by David Coffin and the 50-member Revels Chorus of adults and children, the Cambridge Symphonic Brass Ensemble, The Pinewoods Morris Men and some of the finest early instrumentalists in New England playing pipes, shawms, pennywhistles and Celtic harp.
Christmas Revels 1995
- To celebrate is to pay attention to something special, and to mark this 25th year we have come home.
Imagine (as did the first Revels audience) that we are in England, in the Banqueting Hall of a medi�val castle, awaiting the arrival of a great King and the commencement of the annual festivities. Our companion-in-waiting is the Fool (who has the least comfortable seat in the house, and is ready to represent the grievances of those of you in partial-view seats).

and for the marking of
ancient landmarks in human life,
which lies very deep in all of us.

Ed Sheeran Gear Guide: Featuring 'THE' Loop Pedal and Pawed Guitar
Ed Sheeran Gear Guide (LAST UPDATE: FEB. 2015)
After having his debut album reach No.1, performing at over 300 gigs in 2009, being nominated for multiple awards since his debut and being generally one of the most talked about artists since his introduction in 2011, we think it's probably time to give you The Ed Sheeran Gear Guide. Here's all the info you need about guitars and gear he's used, and how to get a similar sound!
Most of us first heard of this genius performer upon the release of his first commercial single, The A-Team in June 2011. But before hitting the charts last year Ed Sheeran already had a huge fan base. He performed as much as he could on the come-up, playing gigs every chance he got and making himself known through collaborations and a number of candid video's on YouTube, Ed Sheeran pretty much paved his own way to the top of the charts.
In addition to delivering a ridiculous 300+ gigs 2009, Sheeran made a name for himself releasing independent collaborations with the likes of Wiley, Sway and JME.
Sheeran featured on the EP No.5 Collaboration Project (2011), which soared its way to No.2 in the iTunes Charts and sold over 7000 copies in its first week, all with no major promotions and no record label backing.
With a shocking 11 EPs, a multi-platinum selling debut album and a fan-base that could probably rival the population of China... times 10, Ed Sheeran is most definitely setting a new bar for the acoustic singer songwriter. His double win at the BRIT Awards 2015 (Best Male Solo Artist & Album of The Year) coupled with headlining gigs at Wembley Arena confirms him as a major musical force for the years to come.
No wonder then, that so many people feel inspired and are influenced by him, so the aim of this Ed Sheeran Gear Guide is to answer many questions people have regarding his setup, and also to give a few suggestions to help you get a similar sound, without needing a millionaire budget!
This guitar, as said before, is a replica of one of his main instruments as of 2015, and which could be seen recently at the BRIT Awards 2015 ceremony.
Possibly Eddie's most notable piece of equipment ever was his Boss RC-30 Looping Pedal. Sheeran used the RC-30 in most of his live performances and he's probably the most recognised looper in the UK right now. Roland themselves believe that Mr. Sheeran is in fact "A master of looping on the cusp of greatness."
Sheeran has now moved into more complex looping realms, with a massive custom pedalboard called "The Chewie Monsta".
"We needed to source a pedal that had separate outputs for the guitar, percussion, and vocal elements of the loop, allowing for separate treatments (reverb, echo, harmonizer etc.) at the front of the house, Chris and I spent about 6 months contacting every pedal manufacture worldwide that we could think of to get someone to help us come up with a pedal that would be future proof and sonically superior to the RC. Although a couple of manufacturers were interested, no one had an existing product that really came close to what we wanted to do in terms of numbers of outputs and attainable loop lengths."
The "Chewie Monsta" is not an FX pedal, it's a sophisticated, unique pedalboard controller that Ed uses to manipulate a Roland FC300 MIDI Controller which is placed off-stage, described by his tech as the "brain behind the looping system." The pedal controls Ed's new looper: a Mobius 2 VST plug-in, hosted on Ableton Live. (For more info on Mobius, which is a FREE software, visit circularlabs.com)
"The pedal allows Ed to record, overdub, and play back on any one of four synchronized loops, each of which has its own output, allowing us to now have the guitars, percussion and vocals separately, which is invaluable in a live situation. Ed can also now mute the loops individually, allowing him to alternate between different sections, such as a verse/chorus scenario. We also have an undo function, which allows Ed to clear the last overdub on the selected channel, should he need to."
Live, besides his guitar, Sheeran also plugs a Sennheiser e945 to the controller, which is used to loop his vocals. At gigs, Ed uses two mics. The second one is not for looping, it's used just for a clear signal.
Boss RC-30 LoopStation - Sheeran's Crème de la Crème
Sheeran using the Boss RC-20XL pedal (replaced by the Boss RC-30)
In addition to his concerts, Sheeran has used the Boss RC-30 in a number of videos, for the likes of SBTV, such as his "remix" of 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You', which currently has over 5.5m hits on YouTube. The RC-30 has made an appearance in many other videos including 'Wayfaring Stranger' and 'Small Bump'.
This pedal is a fantastic tool for any singer-songwriter who want to enrich their solo performance, so it's no wonder it's become Ed Sheeran's essential on stage tool, only replaced more recently.
Featuring two synchronised stereo tracks, each independently controllable with volume faders and track select buttons and an auto-recording feature that starts recording the moment you begin playing/singing there's no wonder why countless artists are climbing on board this loop train.
The RC-30 comes with a great line-up of creative looping effects built-in, including pitch bend, step phaser, sweep filter and tempo delay. Plug in your microphone through the XLR connection with an option of Phantom Power for condenser mics; with the RC-30 you're options are always open.
If you feel inspired by Ed Sheeran and want to experiment with a looping pedal, there are also other good options available, so check them out:
- Boss RC-1 Loop Station (only £79)
- TC Electronic Ditto Looper (only £79)
- Electro-Harmonix Nano Looper 360 (£100)
- Vox Lil' Looper (£129.99)
- Boss RC-3 Loop Station (£135)
But if you want something closer to the "Chewie Monsta" in terms of functionality, the best option is the TC Helicon VoiceLive 3, which allows you to plug your microphone and guitar, and choose between looping either or both:
Another pedal used by Ed Sheeran is the Boss TU-3 Guitar Tuner, a very practical and easy to use tuner that's a favourite among many top performers. This white pedal can be seen on many live videos:
It was Little Martin who got Pawed
There has been a lot of interest on this front recently, everybody wants to know what guitar Ed Sheeran Plays. Well we've done our research and we're pretty sure we can answer that question, so you can all stop wrecking your brains trying to catch a glimpse of his headstock.
Mr. Sheeran has found the guitar that works for him, and stuck with it. Although many of us might say that once we'd hit the big time we'd go splash out on a top of the range guitar that costs more that we'd make in a year, Sheeran pushed aside that 'gotta buy big' mentality and settled down with the incredible LX1E Little Martin.
Now that's... a guitar with character!
MARTIN LX1 LITTLE MARTIN - only £345!
The LX1 Little Martin is a popular and affordable acoustic, also very suitable for beginners. This is a great guitar and the perfect model for Ed Sheeran fans!
MARTIN LXME LITTLE MARTIN - only £385
The LXME Little Martin is another great guitar for Ed Sheeran fans who perform live, because it's an electro-acoustic model with a great sounding pickup.
The Little Martin is in extremely high demand at the moment!
Ed Sheeran's Little Martin guitar, although constructed to a smaller scale than your regular acoustic, is in fact a superb quality and highly praised instrument. This Martin & Co LX1E travel guitar is recognised for its quality sound and playability. It is comfortable to hold and easy to lug around with you on the fly, so we can understand why it was Sheeran's instrument of choice, I mean, he played over 300 gigs in one year for goodness sake!
Despite its downsized 23" scale neck and small, modified 0-14 (uncovered) fret design, the LX1E Little Martin produces a full, broad sound with a surprisingly good bass tone. It has equally good high end and low end response, with a pretty impressive ability to sustain and project. It's got everything you need in an acoustic.
The most recent Little Martin Ed Sheeran Signature Models are structured using a Sapele top with HPL back and sides, a Richlite fretboard and bridge. Features Ed's signature "+" sign on the headstock and album logo laser-etched on the solid sapele top.
Ed has made the LX1E Little Martin his own with this signature edition, taking a lesser known but sweet sounding Martin and making it a great busking and gigging all rounder. Plus for every one sold a donation is made to East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
For the more budget conscious player, you can't go wrong with the Washburn WDM8SNS Mini. This model looks almost identical to Ed's, but it's much cheaper:
Washburn WDM8SNS Mini - only £199
The Washburn WDM8SNS Mini Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar is a hard wearing mini guitar perfect for any guitarist on the go. This mini acoustic guitar features a solid spruce top which delivers the warm rich tones you would expect from a dreadnought acoustic. Also available, the Washburn WDM8SENS model - an electro-acoustic version.
Washburn WDM18SNS Mini - All Mahogany - only £209
The Washburn WDM18SNS Mini Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar ALL Mahogany is an excellent choice for those who missed out on the now discontinued Ed Sheeran signature model. The all-mahogany body gives it a darker, warmer tone, and looks simply stunning! Also available, the electro-acoustic version, ideal for live performers - the Washburn WDM18SENS Mini.
Eastcoast Mini Acoustic Guitar Bundle - £225
This Mini Auditorium acoustic bundle is a great value buy, with everything you'll need. It's tailor-made for any singer songwriters out there. Ever since Ed Sheeran made the compact guitar cool again we've seen loads more people getting into the tight, focused tone of these little beauties. Makes a handy travel guitar too, with a free gig bag, clip on tuner and strap. There's even a few packs of medium strings to stash in your bag, for when the inevitable happens! Electro-Acoustic Bundle also available, ideal for performers.
OK, it's not quite as shocking as Bob Dylan going electric in the sixties, but it is still surprisnig to see Ed Sheeran playing an electric guitar! At the recent MTV EMA 2014 Awards, Ed was seen playing a "Crashocaster" guitar. This is simply an Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster, given a custom "street-art" paintjob by New York artist John Crash Matos. The first Crashocaster was made for Eric Clapton in 1997.
A good alternative - but in beautiful gold finish - is the Squier 60th Anniversary Classic Vibe Strat.
Focusrite ISA430 MkII
The Grammy award winning engineer and producer Guy Massey, recorded two tracks on Sheeran's album +.
Guy Massey
"One track was guitar and vocal and the other was piano and vocal - it was all live." Massey used a ribbon mic and the Focusrite ISA430 MkII and says, "both songs are just very pure recordings really, and when we came to tracking we had a few preamps to choose from, but I just chose the ISA430 MkII because you can just dial things in so quickly. It's very intuitive in its layout and I always find it very easy to get a great sound, whether it be a clean and pure vocal or slamming drum destruction."
The Focusrite ISA430MkII represents the pinnacle of Focusrite's analog channel strip technology.
Combining all of the classic designs into one comprehensive production tool. The 430 features an optional 192kHz/24-bit A-D conversion with soft limiter , Phase-cancellation de-esser for more natural processing and a VCA-based expander/gate with "hysteresis" setting to avoid chattering.
With such impeccable specifications we can see why Massey and Sheeran fell in love with this sweet bit of kit. Focusrite, always aiming to please were sure to include these four main elements into the ISA430 MkII. The classic Focusrite transformer-based mic pre with variable input impedance, EQ with two dual-range parametrics HPF and LPF, and of course a dual mode compressor with both VCA and optical circuitry. These can each be accessed individually and can be used as separate processors.
The possibilities are pretty lengthy with the ISA430 MkII, there's simply nothing quite like it.
Sheeran says "Jake and Guy captured everything I wanted to capture. The album sounds exactly how I wanted it, so thanks Focusrite!"
First up: ES & sE
Jake Gosling
Ed Sheeran's producer, Jake Gosling is a big fan of sE electronics microphones and uses then frequently with a lot of his artists, from Lady Gaga to Timbaland.
Sheeran used an sE4400a microphone for recording acoustic guitars, live pianos and percussion in both the No.5 Collaboration Project and in his debut album +, which also features some vocal recordings from the sE Z3300a condenser microphone. The sE Z3300a seems to pop up in many of Sheeran's live YouTube performances, including the 'You Need Me l Don't Need You' video.
Sheeran also used an sE4400a microphone for recording acoustic guitars, live pianos and percussion on this same album, and with the sound quality of this guy's tracks, we have no reason to doubt its performance ability.
Here's what Jake Gosling had to say about sE Microphones:
"I use the sE4400a pair all the time now! I record a lot of guitars and live piano with them, and they're a fantastic vocal mic too. They're incredibly versatile… a brilliant set of mics, and nowadays I can't live without them. They build quality, performance and sound, are totally reliable and very true."
sE Electronics Z3300a
The Z3300A microphone is in fact the most versatile class A FET microphone in the SE Electronics range, utilizing a large 1.07" twin diaphragm, giving the engineer a choice of the three most widely used polar patterns, omni, cardioid and figure of eight.
Couple this with a 100Hz low cut filter and new ultra clean, ultra quiet Z range electronics and the Z3300A is the ultimate solid state microphone for almost all recording applications, from vocals, to pianos and acoustic instruments, as Jake and Ed have proved.
sE Electronics 4400a
sE Electronics 4400a condenser microphone is often compared to the incredibly popular AKG C414 (now discontinued) as it is a true all-rounder, versatile and does a great job in every recording situation you give it.
The sE Electronics 4400a inherits its dual capsule design from the highly successful sE2200a II, with four polar patterns (Cardioid, Hypercardioid, Figure of 8 and Omni), 2 bass cuts at 60Hz and 120Hz, and 2 pads at 10 and 20dB.
Ed Sheeran and the Beautiful, Tall & Sleek Neumann U87
The Neumann U87 is one of the most prestige microphones available on the market, and is practically a piece of permanent furniture in... well, too many studios to mention.
The U87 can be seen in Ed Sheeran's live YouTube recording of 'Wayfaring Stranger', famous for its warm sound and well balanced characteristics, the U87 really brings out the best in every performance.
The current U87A yields a 6dB improvement in signal-to-noise over its predecessor. A 10 dB attenuation switch is located on the rear. It enables the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 127 dB without distortion and the low frequency response can be reduced to compensate for proximity effect.
... But let's be honest, talking about all of the technicalities is pretty much useless until you actually hear this mic's quality for yourself, so check out Ed Sheeran performing 'Wayfaring Stranger' with the Neumann U87 here.
Sheeran Gives his Paw Printed Acoustic the AKG Treatment
The AKG C 425 B pencil mic was spotted playing the role of Sheeran's guitar mic in his live performance video for the song 'Small Bump'. This mic is an excellent tool for accurately capturing signals rich in transients like those with a percussive sound.
Using an extremely light diaphragm, the AKG C 451 B is almost totally insensitive to handling noise. Other features include an all-metal body for excellent protection from RF interference and high reliability for excellent results under almost all conditions. Plus, it's just beautiful! With its sleek and slim body; nothing could look that cool and not sound great.
Recently, Ed Sheeran was spotted using a pair of Beyer-Dynamic DT770 headphones, a superb choice for anyone who want professional monitoring at a quite reasonable price...

We recently announced the introduction of a content rating and content filtering system to the BlackBerry App World™ storefront. Due to the complexity with introducing this system, we're approaching the roll out in two phases. In the initial phase, we will be rolling out Mature & Adult rated apps that were submitted to BlackBerry App World prior to the availability of the content rating and content filtering system. All other Mature & Adult applications will be approved (pending review) by early February in our second phase.
We apologize for the delay in approving your Mature & Adult rated applications. Thank you for your dedication and support in creating amazing content for our BlackBerry users.
We're very excited to bring a new feature to the BlackBerry App World™ storefront that is designed to make publishing and discovering amazing apps on the BlackBerry® platform much safer for everyone involved. On Wednesday November 30th, 2011 we will be performing a server upgrade that will bring content rating to the storefront. Our content rating system has been planned out based on input from our carrier, consumer, and developer partners to make sure we've implemented a content rating system that helps parents control what types of content their children have access to.
After the upgrade is complete, all applications and themes in the BlackBerry App World storefront will receive a default rating. The majority of apps will be rated G (General). If your app or theme is in one of the categories listed below, it'll receive a rating of T (Teen).
In addition to these categories, apps and themes with descriptions that contain the terms "BBM™", "Facebook®", "Twitter®", "chat", "dating", "social networking" and "message" will also receive a default rating of T (Teen).
On the BlackBerry smartphone side, we'll be launching a client update on December 15th, 2011 that will enable consumers to set a rating filter. Once the filter is set, only content of the specified ratings will be displayed to the consumer when they browse or search the BlackBerry App World catalog.
The default rating filter in BlackBerry App World is set to "Adult" – which is all content in the BlackBerry App World storefront. This means that when consumers upgrade, they'll still see your apps and themes – nothing to worry about.
When consumers upgrade to BlackBerry App World 3.1, they'll be able to change their rating filter. Starting on November 30th, 2011 developers will have 15 days to log into the Vendor Portal and update your Content Rating questions if you believe your app or theme should have a different rating. All new apps being submitted that day will require that the Content Rating questions be answered.
As you answer the Content Rating questions, your content rating will be presented to you. Any app that includes "Social networking, community or other User Generated Content" will automatically be given a "Teen" rating. Once done, your content rating is updated in the system.
Got any questions about the new Content Rating system? Let us know in the comments!

Stories told by Naomi Hill Stanley
I beleive that only the oldest left on the mountains know
the the what fors and the real reasons why.And there is
only a handful that God has given the talent to know this..
I have been lucky enough to get a few hints to why's and
how's from Naomi Hill Stanley.There is very little she
does not know about anything on that mountain.
I think she is meant to be the Appalacians Last Storyteller.
From religion to the ghosts of the mountain,I have listened and taken in all she had to say.
I have heard when to plant a crop and why not to plant,
when a season is going to be good and the reason
why it is not.
She has told of the misty Indian ghost that walks the
crooked roads at night.
I have heard of the murders in the tunnels that the lonley trains pass through and the people that dissappear never to be heard from again.
She has told of life stories that she has heard or lived.
With this womans storytelling she can make you smile,let
you know what true love is,Or scare you to where you can not
close your eyes at night.
She is able to put her stories to a beautiful rhythm of poetry that entrances those who read or hear it from the lips of this
The whispers of endless stories of wisdom--tears of joy and pain
--and the laughs of happiness are
just as captivating as the whispers through the
trees of the Appalacian Mountains.
Written with love, Jewel M Butts
Queen of the Hills
I had an aunt who lived deep in the hills of Virginia.The place was called Caney Ridge.It seemed to me as a child that it was at the top of the world. My mother always called this her safe place.
We would go often to this safe place.It was filled with laughter and
happiness.There were always sweet smells coming from the kitchen at the back of the house.
One day we had came to visit a while.When I entered the house the first thing that I noticed were those sweet smells of good home cooking.I ran to the kitchen wanting one of the best homemade biscuits
I had ever tasted.And there at the stove stood the most beautiful
little old ladie with a fresh crisp apron tied at her waist.She turned and gave
the most gracefull smile.It was a smile of hard times and good times
It was a smile of beleif and a smile of knowledge.I stood for a moment seeing a soft yellow glow surrouding her and I realized There before me stood The Queen of the Hills.
She never raised her voice above a slight whisper but when she said
something was to be done, all jumped to do her bidding.She had full
control of her home and hers.
My aunt who to me had the power to melt the ice or freeze the sun
whose same blood ran through me had also touched my life.
She was treated as royalty by all.
Be it family or the many strangers that left her life better off than
they entered.
I beleive she was God,s right hand. For never has any one made such a
difference in every life she touched.
When it was time for this lady to go,The mountain cried for
for The Queen of the Hills.
Dedicated To My Aunt Lily Mae Rose Hill
Stone Soup
Today I received an email from a man He was searching in the same area I was for the people of his past.We both knew the place and a lot of the same names. It seemed odd but we both grew up there in
Wise Co Va.
As i read his mail he phrased a term I had not yet heard.
Some people were now calling us Appalaian Americans.
This made me very proud.After all the derogatory slurs, And all
the people looking down their noses at us as outcast.
It seems that most in this vast area of the Appalacian Mtns.
were a mixture of the best the world has to offer.
Not only were there Indians,Whites,Turkish.Irish,Scottish and
only god knows what else he put in this pot of Vegetable Soup.
we have be call Hillbillies and Tax invaders,moonshine makers
and runners.
But have you ever been to this area called Wise and Russell Cos
of VA.Did you notice the smell as you started up the mountain
THE SMELL OF HOME.There is a peace there you cannot find anywhere
else on earth.A reality of honest,genuine,freindly people.A place
you can tell a neighbor you are hungry and hell will open his door
and keep you warm and fed well until you can take care of yourself.
These people deserve the title of Appalacian Americans.They deserve recognition,for they are a breed apart.
My mother told all children growing up that she knew how ro make stone soup.The ingrediants she said a small amount came from everyone on the mountain so there was plenty of soup for everyone. There is nothing like my mother's Stone Soup. This is what this mountain is
a huge pot of Stone Soup with just the right touch of all seasonings
Next time you began the rise up the Mountain : slow down,Take a deep breath.You will have taken you first breath of HEAVEN.
Jewel Butts remember we are now Appalacian Americans
Searching for ancestors of Joseph Harvey Mutter
Joseph was born 1938 in Coeburn Wise Co Va.His parents were Arthur Mutter and Flossie Elzina Comer.Some family names include Hart-Sizemore-Blevins I beleive that Joseph has an Indian lineage I can trace it back with almost certainty.I am looking for any information to help set this as a fact.Someone who is related and has traced this family would be a great find.I can traced Joseph's line back to
Ned Sizemore and Cheif Bear Hart aka William Jackson.
Still Looking for that Wise Co Va Connection
I have only been searching for my family connections for about
two years now. And a couple of hundred names later,I am still
searching for the strings to tie things up.
The more information I find the more there is to find.
I am finding skeletons in every closet, stories that no one
wants told or remembered.
At one time these skeletons may have had to been hidden,
but in today's time I think most are even called common place.
I have found hard, cold and hungry times for people in all our
pasts. Women who had to marry a man just to take care of her.
Or had to trade one child for a cow just to be able to feed her
other children.And then there are those who had to sell their
souls after the father of their children was killed in the
coal mines, whether from a mine shaft collapsing or their lungs
from breathing all the deadly black dust.
Who are we today to look back on anyone in these times and
say we would have done anything different.Would we not have looked
for arms to hold us when there was no one there,or given a child to someone to take care of, or drug that fatherless child from door to
door,state to state with a love so strong that nothing could part
this mother from this child.
Hart of Virginia
In my search of family history, the surname of Hart came into light.
Thomas Hart was the first to come into the family b 1679 d.1755.
Thomas and his wife Susannah Rice b.1692 had two children.
Benjimen Hart b.Oct 1731 d 02,Jan 1802 and Nathaniel Hart b.May 8
1734. It is line of Benjamin and Nancy Ann Morga that I descend.
James Hart and Catherine Sizemore are my ggggrandparents. I would
like to find anything on this family that is possible.Maybe someone
out there knows a story or two.
Old Ned Sizemore
In my search for family ties,I recently ran across an article
on the Sizemore Family. I have found this name in my work with
my family line of Mutter & Blevins.I can tie us back to James Hart
born abt 1760 married to Catherine Sizemore abt 1770 Ashe Co NC
Their son Washington Hart m Elizabeth Blevins and a couple
of generations later here I am trying to peice it all together.
This article was by the actvist Jason Adams.The article was named
"The Metis Heritage of the Sizemore Family."This led me to look further than I had gone with the Sizemore line.I am in search of any dates,family ties and stories and any fact anyone can provide
Geneva Alifare Jane Gilliam:A woman without a past?
I am looking for my maternal
great-grandmother Geneva Alifare
Jane Gilliam.She was named this
story has after her 3 aunts.
There is basicly nothing in
records that are searchable.
She was born abt 1879-1884
in West Va.She was said to be
the daughter of Isacc &
Lucinda Gilliam.I can not put
these 2 togetheer as parents
of Geneva.
The main area I am researching
is Wise Co Va.
For what ever reason,the family
members who may know something
are also passed or will not shed
any light.It is like the whole
of WV,VA and NC have tightened
their mouths to keep this big
dark secret.
I have heard a few stories(most
with no basis).I have yet to hear
one that makes me ashamed she
is mine.
What I do know:
In 1905 she married John H Rose
in Dickenson Co Va.
Before 1905 she gave birth to 2
of Johns Children in Dickenson Co.
This would be Bessie Rose and
Lilly Mae Rose.
John died in 1917 due to greif.
He had taken his only son Leonard
(abt 10 years old) to the saw mill
in St Paul Va. While John was working
Leonard some how got the sleeve of
his shirt caught in the saw blade.
This pulled leonard in the saw an cut
off one arm.
John blamed hisself so much,he came
home to Geneva, laid upon their bed
and within 10 days John H Rose was dead.
John was born in Wise Co Va 1859.He was
30 yers her senoir.
I have found only one federal cesus with
her on it 1910 Dickenson Va She is listed
as Neva Rael 26 wife of John Rael 56 and
several of their children.
SS Death Index Geneva Rhoton d:1967.
Geneva married a second time to
Charlie Rhoton.
Their is a Geneva Gilliam listed in 1880
in Wise Co Va. I am sure without a doubt
this is not the same person.
Family story also has that as a young teen
A huge tree fell on her during a storm.
for several days she laid there. Finally
she was found, After finally being seen by Dr.
It was estimated 36 broken bones and 2 head
fractures.She had surgery at which time she
needed a metal plate in the front and in
the back of her head.At that time a silver
Dollar was placed in each area.This accident
did leave her with a noticable limp and alot
of pain throughout her life.
I am hoping in putting this for all to read,
someone out there can help me to give
Geneva Alifare Jane Gilliam her deserved
resting place in history.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors interfere with the effect of male hormones (androgens)
on the
prostate gland, which cause the prostate to become
larger. This stops the growth of the prostate and can even cause it to become
smaller. Stopping the growth of the prostate or reducing its size may help
relieve pain or urination problems caused by
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may be prescribed for men who have prostatitis (especially
chronic prostatitis/pelvic pain syndrome, inflammatory) and who also have moderate
symptoms of prostate enlargement.
Some studies have shown that finasteride can help with symptoms of
prostatitis. But in other studies, finasteride didn't improve symptoms any more
than placebo.1
Dutasteride has also been shown to improve symptoms of prostatitis.2
Side effects may include:
It is possible that 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are linked to an increased risk for high-grade prostate cancers. But more research is needed.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference
is not available in all systems.)
This medicine should not be used by men who plan to father a child, because there is a small chance that the medicine could cause a birth defect. Women who are pregnant or might become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed tablets of finasteride or dutasteride.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Because
PSA levels are used to detect early-stage prostate cancer, men interested in
taking 5-alpha reductase inhibitors might consider the following:

Dr. Powell introduced his discussion on adverse events covering four areas:
1) Organizational framework; 2) Risk-benefit approach; 3) Going from inactive to
active and 4) How much is too much?
Adverse events can cover a diverse spectrum such as an elderly woman walking
for exercise and tripping on an uneven sidewalk or an overweight high school
student joining the football team to get in shape and suffering a heat stroke
during practice. An organizational framework needs to be devised to consolidate
these disparate events while at the same time not getting bogged down in too
many details.
Thought needs to be given to risk-benefit as there are no benefits with
adverse events. A possible approach is to use indirect evidence; for example, if
inactive individuals have higher death rates than active individuals, an
assumption can be made that the deaths, which would be adverse events from being
active, do not outweigh the benefits, at least in terms of death. Global
assessments could also be used in areas such as functional health, and quality
of life measures enabling us to make some kind of risk-benefit analysis. Another
approach is to look at dose-related injury rates in a few specific activities.
Anther issue is going from inactive to active and it may be a subject that is
very important but we are likely to find relatively little information that
deals with it specifically. Preventive recommendations so far have generally
recommended a minimum level that people are to achieve; however, not much has
been said about how people are supposed to get there, other than maybe unhelpful
advice about seeing a doctor if they're old or sick. It is likely the case that
unaccustomed activity poses the highest risk for many of the adverse events that
we are addressing. It is important that this be addressed properly in order to
make safer recommendations.
Finally, how much is too much? In general, our recommendations have dealt
with what's the minimum level, with some suggestion that if you do a little bit
more, you'll gain a little more benefit. There may be some particular groups or
situations where it becomes clear that doing too much is a risk as well.
Comments from the committee included the following:
The idea that everything with adverse events is bad should not be absolute
and it needs to be put in context relative the alternative.
How much is too much? Reiterate that dose for active people versus
inactive people will be relative. Should address how to recommend getting
inactive people active in a safe manner.
Women with eating disorders should be included in this group.
Over-activity has been known to be one manifestation of eating disorders.
Concern was expressed at how comprehensive this Group might be and should
there be delimitations to the scope. One suggestion included not addressing
the top end of the spectrum – high endurance athletes.
History of adverse events in guidelines was summarized, first from Heart
Association in 1975 as a mechanism promoting prevention of adverse events, not
physical activity. Also later on with move from clinical model to public
health model moving away from intensity as primary recommendation.
It was suggested this group might look at studies that focused on
increasing activity in sedentary people; however, in many instances adverse
events is not reported in detail if at all. An additional suggestion was to
refer to Tim Church's study on older adults.

Not only should you make sure your cot is safe for your little one, you should make sure the mattress follows British standards too. I like to spend very little money but appear like I've spent a lot.
Law and order A cot that a coroner issued a safety warning about following the death of a seven-week-old baby is still on sale in Britain, an inquest has been told. She said she had just had a bath on the morning of April 9 when she discovered the baby lying lifeless at their home in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. Every day since this happened I question why I didn't see how unsafe it was Esther Roseman The report stated that Grace was found with her head over the edge of the cot, but because she could not lift her head back up this restricted her air supply which led to her death from asphyxia.
The inquest has heard that the Roseman family received the cot second-hand, but without instructions or straps to attach it to an adult bed.
The inquest was told the cot had one side that could be lowered, but the instructions state the baby should not be left alone in this position.
The Regulation 28 report also stated that the crib was in a tilted position of 8cm 3in while the instructions state it should not be above 5cm 2in. It seemed the cot was designed with the half fold to stop the baby rolling out of it.
SWNS Mr Roseman, who had been home at the time because he had been ill the previous day, told the inquest that he heard his wife screaming from Grace's bedroom. I jumped out of bed as quickly as I could, I did see Esther holding Grace and in my mind she was gone. Robert Norman, company secretary of Bednest, told the inquest that the three-sided cot was designed to allow parents to provide comfort to their baby without the "dangers of co-sleeping ".
He explained that the two sides are designed to come down like a drawbridge to prevent gaps between the cot and the adult bed. He said the product was designed and tested to Furniture Industry Research Association safety standards.
Esther and Gideon Roseman leave the inquest into their daughter's death hand in hand Credit: Christopher Pledger for The Telegraph Mr Norman said that the instructions stated that the cot should have its sides up if the child was left unsupervised, but said there was not a label on the product to reinforce this advice. He said that Bednest teamed up with the National Childbirth Trust to promote the cot because the charity had been keen to promote the benefits of bedside cots.
Mr Norman said the company had been "completely shocked" to hear that a baby had got its head over the side. We say when they start to push up and crawl not to use the product. Gideon Roseman with his daughter Grace Credit: PA Mrs Roseman told the hearing in Horsham of the moment she screamed for help from her husband, Gideon.
He came into the room and shouted at me to put a dressing gown on and get in the car. I was going for my phone and calling She was never going to be saved, it was obvious, the doctors said 'You knew before you brought her in she was gone'.
I couldn't afford to be fussy. I ended up buying another two.

How To: Thrifted Table to a Modern Upholstered Bench
This low slung modern coffee table from Goodwill was stacked up in my garage for over a year — the fake wood laminate top kept throwing me for a loop. To upholster the laminate top by wrapping fabric around the solid wood edges seemed like a waste of the natural surface. Then I remembered I had a remnant of a yellow leather hide in my studio. The mellow yellow did absolutely nothing for the wood tones, but when I flipped it over to the suede side, it had the zingy contrast, texture and modern dash I was looking for.
Project: Modern Leather Bench/Table Combo
Time: 4-5 Hours
Cost: Thrifted table $29.00
1/4" double strength glass $12.00
Leather hide remnant or modern fabric
Black spray paint $3.99
Loc-Tite construction glue $7.50
Tools and Resources
- bench style coffee table with a laminate top
- remnant of a leather hide (or other mod fabric)
- large piece of 2" foam (Joann Fabrics carries foam)
- piece of 1/2" plywood or MDF cut to fit 2/3 of the table (Lowes will cut wood to your specifications)
- piece of 1/4" double strength glass cut to fit 1/3 of the table top (hardware stores will cut glass)
- spray adhesive (Elmer's spray adhesive works very well)
- black spray paint, satin finish
- Loc-Tite construction adhesive
- drill and small drill bit
- 1 1/2" wood screws
- electric knife to cut foam
- staple gun and staples
- straight edge and a marker
Step by Step Instructions:
- Get wood and glass cut to fit the table top
- Place glass on a clean flat surface and spray paint one side black
- Place wood on top of foam and trace around the wood, adding 1/2" all around
- Place the electric knife perpendicular to the foam and cut around the traced line
- Spray adhesive on one side of the foam and one side of the wood, center the foam on the wood and press together
- Center the leather (suede side up) on top of the foam
- Begin stapling the leather in the center of one long side on the bottom of the wood, stopping 5 inches short of the corner
- On the opposite side, repeat the above step, but use your hand to smooth and pull the leather firmly, not tight, and staple that side in place
- Repeat this method for the two short sides
- To make a crisp corner, pull the leather on the long side of the seat down and under the corner about 1/2" beyond the corner point and staple on the bottom of the wood
- Now, on the short side of the seat, fold the leather over like you're doing hospital corners with a sheet and secure the corner under the wood. Repeat for all corners
- Flip the table over and drill 6 pilot holes on the 2/3 section where the seat will be attached
- Center the upholstered seat under the table and attach the seat to the table using 1 1/2" wood screws
- Flip the table right side up. Squirt construction adhesive on the end of the table where the glass will be. Be careful NOT to get adhesive too close to the edges of the table and don't get it on the suede!
- Carefully place the painted glass, paint side down on top of the glued area, press evenly and firmly to make sure the glass covers the remaining 1/3 of the table top
- Now place your vintage modern upholstered bench/table combo somewhere where everyone will see what clever DIY skills you possess.

The design was great but the material is super thin and doesn't look like it will survive very many washes. The design looks like it will fade or come off quickly. I bought this for my 17 y/o son.

Game Day Weather
Low pressure in Canada to the north of Michigan (cold front passed to the south overnight) causing some cool fall weather - highs in the low 50s are what's normal for November in West Lafayette! Clear skies overnight let morning lows get into the 30s, and we may see some frost. Starting off the day with a lot of sunshine, and then seeing more clouds build in on the backside of the low as it pushes east. Winds out of the NW all day.
If you're in West Lafayette...
If you're up early you may see some frost! We'll start off the day with sunny skies, but don't expect it to feel like summer- temps are in the low 30s! Plenty of sunshine throughout the morning, and reaching the mid 40s for lunch, low 50s in the afternoon. Winds will pick up throughout the morning, out of the WNW at 10mph (leaves blow about) by mid-morning and as we head into the afternoon they'll be up in the mid-teens with gusts possible in the upper teens (small branches move).
Partly cloudy by the time we reach kick-off, and hitting the high temperature of 55 degrees. Winds will start to drop, and although they will remain out of the NW, we'll mainly get rid of the gusts and steady winds are around 13mph.
Dropping a couple degrees by the end of the first half, and still seeing some sun lingering between those clouds. Winds are down to 10mph, out of the NW.
Both winds and temps continue to drop throughout the evening, while cloud cover stays up. Winds stay out of the NW, becoming light by the time you're done with dinner. Keep that extra layer handy because we're down to 43 degrees by the time we hit 10pm! Sky cover is partly to mostly cloudy and we'll stay that way overnight... but the clouds don't really help us stay warm - upper 30s if you're headed home after last call! There is a slight chance for an isolated rain shower later at night - but most, if not everyone, will stay dry.
If you're in Ann Arbor...
Starting off the day with some fog and temps in the mid 30s. Some sun and some clouds throughout the day, hitting a high of 54 degrees. What you'll notice most is the wind-much breezier here than Indiana. Winds out of the west at 10-20mph with gusts around 30mph possible (you can hear the wind whistle, small trees sway). For your dinner-time hours, winds die down to 10mph and temps are in the low 40s. If you're headed out afterward to celebrate the win, by closing time we're in the mid 30s-starting to talk winter coat weather!

Microsoft will pay Novell USD 348 million up front, but Novell will return USD 200 million of that amount over five years. The specific numbers came in an a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission made by Novell late Tuesday. "The financial commitments Microsoft is making as part of this agreement are significant," company CEO Ron Hovsepian said in a statement. In related news, Microsoft has denied that its patent deal with Novell is in breach of the GPL or will automatically spread Microsoft's patent protection to other Linux distributions.

RE[7]: Why so hard on Novell?
by twenex on Wed 8th Nov 2006 16:35 in reply to "RE[6]: Why so hard on Novell?"
In particular, please note the followqing extract:
Microsoft promised not to sue Novell for patent infringement stemming from code currently in Suse Linux, or future technology codeveloped by the companies or contributed by third-party developers.
The deal is designed to alleviate business concerns that Microsoft could one day claim Linux contains patent-violating technology. But the "patent covenant" doesn't protect all Linux users, only Suse users. "Novell is acting as a proxy for its customers, and only its customers," Ballmer said. "If they [businesses] want patent peace and interoperability, then they'll have to look to Suse Linux."

A game of two players, a ball, preferably a round ball (e.g. football) and a road with to curbs on either side. One pler stands on one side of the road and the other stands on the other, the person with the ball throws it aiming to hit the curb on the other side for it to bounce back at them. If this occurs this player recieves a certain amount to points (e.g. 20) then this player moves into the center of the road and aims for the curb again, points are reieved for this again if the player hits the curb from this postition. If the player with the ball misses the curb and the ball goes to the other player, that player must throw the ball his/her oponent before he/she gets back to their side of the road. If the oponent is hit by the ball, the other player recieves all their points, but if that player decides he/she cannot hit his/her openent they then keeps the ball and they have to then throw the ball at the curb across the road. The winner is whoever gets to the target point mark.

A name used to describe a group of people that paints address numbers on curbs. This is typically a fund-raising function for various beneficial organizations designed to teach young people rudimentary business skills while raising money for their group. Curbies rely on the good nature of the American resident for their success. "This is an important service as Police, Fire and Emergency Services look first to the resident's curb for their homes."
There were many curbies in California at one time, sadly,their numbers are decreasing along with the corresponding loss of civil liberties in America.

Carolina G Brian Boucher to miss 4-6 months with shoulder injuryNHL.com @NHL
RALEIGH, N.C. - Carolina Hurricanes backup goalie Brian Boucher is expected to miss 4-6 months with an unspecified shoulder injury.
General manager Jim Rutherford said Thursday that Boucher was injured within the past week and is scheduled to have surgery to repair it, but did not say which shoulder was injured.
The injury clouds Carolina's goaltending situation with free agency starting Sunday. The 35-year-old Boucher is entering the second year of a two-year, $1.9 million contract he signed last summer to back up Cam Ward.
"We're going to have to go out and find a guy that can fill that spot," coach Kirk Muller said following Day 2 of the team's four-day rookie conditioning camp. "In a perfect world, if we get Cam playing 60-plus games, we need a guy that can step in and feel confident that we can win hockey games."
One option could be Justin Peters, Ward's top backup in 2010-11 who spent most of last season getting regular playing time with the Hurricanes' AHL affiliate in Charlotte. He is due to become an unrestricted free agent. Carolina also could try to acquire a veteran from another club.
A groin injury suffered midway through last season cost Boucher 43 games and limited him to just eight starts and 10 total appearances. He finished 1-7 with a 3.41 goals-against average.
