Inland fishing season starts
Conditions very different from last year
CABLE, Wis. — The conditions for the start of Wisconsin's inland fishing season are polar opposite of last year in some areas.
There is still up to 20 inches of ice on some northern lakes, with better conditions in southern Wisconsin.
Some events associated with the annual Governor's Fishing Opener still went on Saturday in Bayfield County on Lake Namekagon. Gov. Scott Walker delayed his fishing outing there to wait for safer conditions.
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources spokesman Kevin Harter said some anglers still fished Lake Namekagon's open water near shore and the thawed river outlet. He said some even chose to ice fish.
He said conditions were much different last year, with the ice melting by March.
Then-Gov. Warren Knowles started the event in 1965.

United Airlines showed off the first of its new Dreamliner fleet on Tuesday, rolling the plane out of a hangar at Boeing's Everett, Washington facility.
United will be the first US-based airline to fly the new-generation Boeing-made plane, with take-off loosely scheduled for later this year.
The passenger plane has been highly praised for its revolutionary design and technical innovations, with airlines around the world having placed just over 850 orders to date.
United posted pictures of its new aircraft – which features a nose-to-tail gold stripe along each side – on its Facebook page, with many visitors to the site responding with mostly positive messages.
Bruce Gustin was certainly impressed. "Wow! I would have given a bunch of my miles for an invite to this rollout! I cannot wait to board this aircraft!" he wrote with obvious glee.
Maggie Lamorte, on the other hand, seemed a little less certain. "Looks good….but how much is it going to cost to experience the dream…." she asked.
Jeannette Longeuay Ziegler, however, was thinking in more practical terms. "I hope you put more legroom in the coach seats because your planes have the worst coach seats in the business," she wrote.
The fuel-efficient Dreamliner differs from the majority of passenger jets in that its frame is constructed not with aluminum but instead with ultra-light but extremely strong carbon fiber.
The added strength has allowed for 65 percent bigger windows, giving fliers a better view of the world when they're 38,000 feet up. The windows also utilize electric dimmers to block out the light instead of pull-down shades.
Overhead baggage compartments have also been designed to offer more space, which should mean less trouble in finding somewhere to throw your hand luggage if you're late to your seat when you board.
The Dreamliner completed its first commercial flight in October last year, flying from Japan to Hong Kong for All Nippon Airways (ANA).
The Japanese airline had to wait three years longer than expected for the delivery of its new 787 aircraft, with design and production issues causing the delay. Hopefully United Airlines won't have to wait that long for the delivery of the rest of its order, which comprises a total of 50 Dreamliners. It's not yet known which routes the new planes will fly.

It's graduation night for Kevin Cobbs as he steps up for his first six-round bout Thursday night, and it couldn't come fast enough as far as Cobbs is concerned.
It's graduation night for Kevin Cobbs as he steps up for his first six-round bout Thursday night, and it couldn't come fast enough as far as Cobbs is concerned.
"I'm really happy to be moving up to six-rounders," he said the other night before winding down his training at the Heart gym in New Bedford. "If I had those two extra rounds in some of the fights I've had, I think I could have knocked the guy out.
"I've been getting stronger as the rounds go by. Now I can study my opponent a little more, especially in this fight because I don't know much about my opponent."
The New Bedford light heavyweight takes on Tylone Burris of Hartford in a six-round battle of unbeatens on the undercard of the Peter Manfredo Jr.-Rayco Saunders main event at the Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I. Cobbs is 6-0 with two knockouts, while Burris is 3-0 with two knockouts.
"I've heard that (Burris) was a pretty good amateur and has fought some pretty good fighters, and that he's a slick boxer, but that's about it," said Cobbs, who still gets a little nervous before a fight.
"I didn't have the biggest amateur career, so I haven't been at this for very long," he noted. "I was just starting to feel comfortable in my last two amateur fights. Then I turned pro and the nerves came up again."
That's not to say he lacks confidence.
"I'm ready," he said. "I'm ready for whoever they put in front of me. This is my job; this is what I do. I have to be ready. The one thing I do know is that I'll come out of this fight with a win."
He passed his first real test in his last bout last month when he scored an impressive fourth-round knockout over a more experienced Alexander Mancera of Queens, N.Y. (8-5), also at the Twin River arena.
Working Cobbs' corner Thursday night as usual will be Fall River trainer Libby Medeiros and former world class contender "Sucra" Ray Oliveira.
In the main event, Peter "The Pride of Providence" Manfredo Jr. launches a comeback after a short-lived retirement against Pittsburgh veteran Saunders (22-18-2).
Manfredo's last fight was last November when he was stopped by then WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez in the fifth round in a second bid for a world title. His other title shot was in 2007 when he was stopped by super middleweight champion Joey Calzaghe.
Also on the card Thursday night will be Vladine Biosse (14-1-1), making his first ring appearance since last July, in a six-round super middleweight co-feature.
Doors open at 6 p.m., with the first bout scheduled for 7.

When it comes to the Clemson-South Carolina rivalry, there's little love lost between the two football programs. Hell, even the coaches get in on the action as both Steve Spurrier and Dabo Swinney lobbed verbal jabs at their respective rivals earlier this year after bowl games in which they didn't even face each other.
One high school coach went so far as to suggest a rasslin' match between the coaches.
In that vein, one side of the rivalry took to social media Thursday afternoon to suplex the other. In a tweet posted to the Clemson football team's official Twitter account, the folks in charge of the account decided to remind folks of the fact that the Tigers were the only team in the state of South Carolina to win a BCS bowl this past season.
That post is 100-percent accurate. There's no doubt about it.
Clemson beat Ohio State 40-35 in the Orange Bowl while South Carolina didn't even qualify for a BCS bowl, having to settle instead for a ten-point win over Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl. And, yep, the Gamecocks went without a BCS bid in the 16-year history of the old system.
What was left unsaid, unlike the clock in the Tigers' football facilities, is the fact that the Tigers have lost five straight to the Gamecocks and haven't beaten their bitter rivals since way back in 2008.
(Writer's note: to be fair, Clemson leads the all-time series 65-42-4)
It was a nice attempt at a backhanded shot, but Clemson should worry more about beating South Carolina on the field than tweaking them off of it.

Mortgage Credit Certificates
(a.k.a. How to send the IRS thousands of dollars less)
The Industrial Development Authorities throughout the states of Arizona, Colorado, and Nevada are at it again. These same agencies that frequently offer lost cost "Bond" loans are sponsoring a single family Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program. These certificates entitle borrowers to an annual dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal income tax liability.
Mortgage Credit Certificates aren't new; in fact, they have been around since the 1980's. Even though they offer a tremendous savings for homebuyers, they aren't well understood.
The Mortgage Credit Certificate gives you a tax credit of 20 to 30%* of the interest paid on your home loan. This credit can amount to thousands of dollars each year for the life of your mortgage loan. If your tax liability is less than the amount of the credit, the unused portion may be carried forward in the next three years. What's more, you can retain the remaining 70 to 80% of the standard mortgage deduction.
For example: If the year's mortgage interest payments totaled $10,000, you'd subtract $2,000 (20 of $10,000) from the federal income tax amount that you owe. If necessary, you can also use this savings as additional income to qualify for the loan! In addition, you would still be entitled to a home mortgage interest deduction of $8,000.
There are income restrictions based on family size and these vary depending on the location of the home. The program is generally limited to first-time homebuyers (those who haven't owned a home in the past 3 years) – unless you are purchasing a home in an identified "target" area. There are sales price restrictions that vary by location as well. Your Nova loan officer can help you identify your market's particular guidelines.
The Mortgage Credit Certificate program is available for FHA, VA, and conventional financing programs.
Being able to take advantage of a higher tax write off may give you the ability to drop your monthly tax withholding and put more cash in your pocket every month. This gives you more money to spend on a mortgage payment without stressing your wallet.
Some down payment assistance programs allow us to add the Mortgage Credit Certificate for extra savings. Imagine, getting the down payment provided to you and saving extra money on your income taxes!
If you are a real estate professional, you can use the Mortgage Credit Certificate as a tool to attract and qualify more buyers or to increase the interest in your listings. Just imagine the impact you can have by saying "Buy this home and you may qualify for special tax incentive program". If your lender doesn't know about the MCC program, you should be talking with us at Nova Home Loans.
As with any loan product or feature, you should seek the guidance of your tax professional for specifics on individual tax savings or benefits.
*$2000 monetary limit applies if benefit is greater than 20%

Joe Torre Is Not An Un-Person
"You remember some of those despotic leaders in World War II, primarily in Russia and Germany, where they used to take those pictures that they had taken of former generals who were no longer alive, they had shot 'em. They would airbrush the pictures, and airbrushed the generals out of the pictures. In a sense, that's what the Yankees have done with Joe Torre. They have airbrushed his legacy. I mean, there's no sign of Joe Torre at the Stadium. And that's ridiculous. I don't understand it."
McCarver has apologized for the imagery (you hate the Yankees? Fine. The "rooting for the Yankees was like rooting for U.S. Steel" is stern enough, we don't have to bring Hitler and Stalin into this). But he sticks to the contention that the Yankees have "airbrushed" Torre from their history and should have retired his number by now.
Let's address the number first. Torre has been gone for only two-and-a-half seasons. Nobody else has been assigned his old uniform number 6. In examining the retirements, the Yankees have shelved fifteen numbers representing sixteen players (both Yogi Berra and Bill Dickey wore number 8). Mariano Rivera's 42 will be automatically retired upon his departure from the Bronx, in keeping with the baseball-wide retirement of the number to honor Jackie Robinson in 1997 (and doubtless Rivera will get his own ceremony since he's clearly earned it).
Fourteen of the sixteen honorees were, at the time of their uniform retirements, either still working for the Yankees, out of baseball, or deceased. When Casey Stengel's number 37 was put away for good in 1970, it had been a decade since he had last managed the Yankees and half of one since he had last managed the Mets. He still had a largely ceremonial vice presidency with the Mets and still suited up for short stints during spring training. Berra was managing the Mets when the number he and Dickey was retired in 1972. By then Yogi, too, had been away from the Yankees for a long time – eight years.
There is some logic in delaying, especially for individuals still living. I found what is in retrospect a hilarious blog post from September, 2007, declaring that the Yankees would "surely" be one of three teams to retire the number of a veteran player: Roger Clemens. Yeah, and don't call me Surely.
Clearly the Yankees are honoring Torre by not handing his old number to anybody else. But has he been under-represented in terms of imagery at the new Stadium? McCarver acknowledged he saw some photos of his old friend in the park and did had not meant for the "airbrushed" imagery to be taken literally.
Turns out there are 21 photos of Torre on display at the new Stadium. One of them is just Joe and Steinbrenner, giant-sized, at one of the park's street entrances. I saw a couple of others of note tonight in the Bronx, in my first visit since McCarver's remarks. This would be the entrance to Suite Number 6 down the first base line. The motif is pretty straight forward for each suite – a series of photos of the Yankees who wore each number, even a list of them in the alcove just outside the door. And the pride of place in terms of photography goes to the odd image you see at the left. In fact, let's get a little closer and see just who that particular Number 6 happens to be:
I'm not sure who that is with him, but that would be Joe Torre on the left. And the idea that he is somehow being dissed by being shown back-to-the-camera denies the purpose of the photograph: each suite emphasizes the Yankees who have worn that number.
Off point, no, I do not believe there is a Suite 91 featuring nothing but photos of Alfredo Aceves.
Now, the image above is a small, untitled photo, correct? Doesn't emphasize Torre's vast contributions to the remarkable streak of four titles in five years? Try this, from the main concourse of the stadium, behind the ground level seats, down the left field line.
Prime location? Two beer stands and a men's room?
Each Yankee championship team is remembered with a three-photo display. It starts with 1923 in the farthest corner of Right Field and then moves chronologically back towards the plate and out to Left. And who are the guys in the farthest right panel?
That's right: the late George Steinbrenner, Rudolf Giuliani, and dressed for a very cold parade day from 2000, Joe Torre.
I'll repeat myself here. I'm a fan and friend of Tim McCarver's, and Joe Torre is my oldest baseball friend. I've even worked with them both. And I know the Yankees could have done better by Joe, and his exit was unceremonious and poorly-handled by the club. I would also argue that the Yankees are the most self-important, overly-serious franchise in overtly pro sports (I can think of about 27 college programs that would at least give them a run for their money).
But Timmy was just wrong, in style and in substance. Neither literally nor figuratively have the Yankees excised, erased, airbrushed nor Memory-Hole'd Joe Torre. Doubtless the day will come soon, perhaps even while he's still managing elsewhere, that they will formally retire the number and give him the big ceremony he deserves. To see a conspiracy in the fact that the day has yet to come is, at best, to overreact.
11 Comments
I still can't wrap my head around the portion of the article that reads, in part, "in the park and did not meant the "airbrushed" imagery to be taken literally.". Shouldn't "meant" be "mean"? 🙂
I really hesitated commenting on this post because I thought my comments might get me into trouble. However, never one to withhold an opinion . . .
Thank God McCarver apologized for his irresponsible, disrespectful remarks. It's wearing very thin on me that we have Americans comparing our American President to Hitler. And now the All-American past-time and specifically the Yankees' treatment of Joe Torre's legacy has invoked the memory of Hitler and Stalin. Really now, is that the best McCarver could come up with? This is nothing that a sharp kick to the groin wouldn't fix.
". . . there's no sign of Joe Torre at the Stadium." Seriously? Twenty-one photos isn't enough? My own mother doesn?t have 21 photos of me hanging in her house. I really must speak to her about that.
And that giant picture of Torre with Steinbrenner and Giuliani may not seem to be in a prime location, until you consider the amount of foot traffic the men?s room and those two beer stands generate. Doesn?t seem so bad a location.
Keith, will the recent passing of George Steinbrenner and Bob Sheppard have any bearing on Ken Burns' upcoming ?The Tenth Inning?? Surely, these events would warrant Burns adding a section on the contributions of these two gentlemen, to give them their due.
Joe Torre was an un-manager last night. It sounds like the Dodgers had a free-for all with the Giants. What's next a bar room brawl?
I liked Tim McCarver when he played for the Cardinals. Now he just annoys me. Apparently he has added foot in mouth disease to his repetoire.
Good entry, I have one point to make:
I feel the bulk of this sentiment, this 'The Yankee Organization has shunned Torre' sentiment, stems from the final game at the Old Stadium. That beautiful night was indeed scared by the pitiful omission of any image of Joe Torre. All the video montages, the recognition to pretty much everyone who was important to the history of that building, and not one image or mention of Torre. If you erase that from the history books, it appears as though the organization has done nothing wrong or out of the ordinary, and indeed gone beyond by not giving anyone else #6.
RIP Ralph Houk.
How many photos of him are on display at Yankee Stadium, I wonder?
Thanks for setting the record straight Keith. Personally, I can't stand Tim McCarver. His know-it-all drawling for three plus hours is more than I can take. Has anyone ever made the word "perhaps" sound so much like some great statement on a tablet handed down to Moses? McCarver is part of the whole lousiness of Fox in its coverage of baseball. They've become lazy and act like covering baseball is a chore. He and Kenny Albert once had a half hour discussion about rock bands during a tied game between Seattle and Tampa Bay. He has basically ruined nationally televised games for me. I watched a lot of the 2009 World Series with the mute button on. As far as Joe Torre, I think it's clear that the Yankees are still seeking closure with him. The split was mostly classy on a public level (I'm sure behind the scenes there was more tension) but the day is coming when he will be honored at Yankee Stadium and he will be everywhere– including between DiMaggio and Mantle.
Keith, you are very polite but the fact is McCarver is an idiot. He fills in every space with inane talk and as usual doesn't know what he's talking about.
Where have you gone Bernie Allen?
OK, I'm straying from the topic, but there is something in this entry that just got me all excited – the prospect of my all-time favorite Yankee having his name adorning a suite at the new stadium. So the question is, is there a Suite #11, and if so, is Bernie Allen's name emblazoned somewhere in the alcove? Even better, is there a photograph that goes along with it? Even beterer, could there possibly be multiple pictures of my childhood hero littered throughout the stadium?
One time with the Senators, Ted Williams was going to fine all of them for playing golf during the baseball season. As the player Rep, Bernie Allen went to Ted and told him that it didn't hurt his swing because he batted left-handed and played golf right-handed. Ted told him that was stupid and asked why he'd do something like that and Bernie replied, "So it wouldn't mess up my golf swing."
This story aside, I could never understand why so many baseball fans dislike Tim McCarver. I love his analysis. He's one of the few that I do like, along with Joe Buck. I have always thought them to be a terrific team. I guess having a team in NYC means that every negative story out there about the home team will get a pretty quick reaction. This article is measured and professionally written with concise facts. How I wish every rebuttal in sports was written like this.
I work with a NYY fan, and I mentioned Joe Torre to him the day George S. died. I was telling him about your interview with Joe. Well, this die hard "the NYYankees can do no wrong" fan bad mouthed Joe Torre because he felt that Joe somehow dishonored himself because he wrote a book that said not very nice things about some Yankees players. When Joe was the NYY manager, this co-worker thought Torre a saint (exaggeration on my part). I would argue with him that Torre always got great press because he was the manager of the Yankees and won 3 out of 4 WS, but that I could recall many many instances where I didn't think he was that great of a manager at times. Of course I would get the evil eye. But I would continue with my reasons whether he liked hearing them or not. But now that Joe is gone, it's Jeter, Rivera and Posada who are the true Yankees, according to him. It's kind of strange to hear a grown man talk like that. It's weird.
This is the same guy who said during the NBA Finals this year that he didn't appreciate the Celtics "buying" a possible Championship team this year. Can you imagine? A NYY fan had the audacity to say that. I didn't let that get by without a comment of my own.
Sorry to see Tim McCarver anger people over this story. When Joe T. left, most people thought it was time. His playoff record in the years preceding his leaving wasn't too good. Did his leaving end on a positive note? It's rare that endings are dealt with positively anywhere in life, but in NYC it's especially difficult to leave on a high note because of all the publicity, all the different camps with their own opinions, as well as all the ego's involved. But Joe's contributions should not be diminished and it doesn't appear the Yankees organization have done that. We have always liked him up here in MA.
Just listening to Yankee Hater Bruce Jacobs of (Surprise) FOX Sports radio, he is condemning the Yankees for not having anything in the stadium about Joe Torre, choosing to believe the words of Tim (Glen beck) McCarver, Of course Fox has no E Mail inks to their lesser (talent) and I am not going to waste my time to call them all I am going to do is shut them off and put on hte 4 letter network or maybe 60's on 6

PEMA offers storm prep tips
Residents should have 72-hours-worth of supplies
The Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency issued an advisory to residents on Friday due to the threat posed by Hurricane Sandy.
PEMA officials offered the following storm preparedness advice:
Families should prepare for two scenarios in the event of severe weather: to remain in their homes during the duration of a storm, or to evacuate if it is recommended or ordered by local authorities.
Residents should always have enough provisions in their homes to last at least 72 hours because help from emergency responders may not be immediately available when severe weather strikes.
Other disaster preparedness supplies to have at the ready include:
- Flashlights and extra batteries;
- Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries;
- First aid kit and manual;
- Emergency food and water;
- Non-electric can opener;
- Essential medicines/prescriptions;
- Cash, credit cards and important legal documents; and
- Sturdy shoes.
A News 8 viewer offered the following tips if stores are out of items like water, flashlights or batteries.
Consider that large office supply stores sell bottled water and electric supply retailers and auto part stores often have flashlights.
Need a generator? Then try wedding planners. They often have them available for rental.
If residents are ordered by local officials to evacuate, they should do so without hesitating and should take important documents with them, including:
- Checkbooks;
- Driver's license
- Credit card information
- Birth certificates
- Social Security cards
- Other forms and documents proving ownership/identity.
For more information on how to make a disaster supply kit and how to prepare for all kinds of emergencies, visit www.readypa.org or call 1-888-9-READYPA (1-888-973-2397).
Cannon reminded drivers they should never drive into low-lying areas or over roads and bridges that are already under water. Just a few inches of moving water can sweep away the average car. Remember – Turn around, don't drown.
"Personal preparedness is an essential part of emergency response and recovery," Cannon said. "The fact that we know about the potential threat we're facing several days in advance is a gift that we can all take advantage of, so we can make sure we are ready for whatever comes our way."

The Caldey Swim 2016
In 2015 the annual Caldey Swim – from Priory Beach, Caldey, to Tenby harbour – was cancelled because of unfavourable conditions – an easterly wind and choppy water, so there was even more expectation attached to this year's swim.
Come the morning of Sunday 14th August 2016, the conditions were nigh on perfect – a southerly wind of only 4mph to follow the swimmers along the largest section of the swim, parallel to Tenby's South Beach, and warm, but cloudy skies, so not too hot.
The swimmers left on the boats taking them across to the island from the town's Castle Beach just after 9.45,
most looking happy, some concerned – nerves were playing a part and quite rightly: this is no ordinary swim, it is across the straits running between Caldey Island and Tenby, where the rip can take a person to Pendine instead if you start in the wrong direction and the tides haven't been carefully considered. It is never a straight line swim!
No local triathlete Oli Simon to lead the swimmers home this year – he was being a Dublin Ironman – so the normal 42-ish minutes to complete the challenge was only a guide. Indeed, the first finisher, Andrew Wallace, came home in 53 minutes, shortly followed by two others. So no record here.
However, the two hours cut off has previously been a tight call for the last to finish, but not this year: all 94 completed the course within 90 minutes. And after some recovery time with a banana and a bottle of water, all were smiling cheerfully, with their newly won medals, amongst the large throng of family and friends gathered at the finishing line.
The organisers, Tenby Sea Swimming Association, breathed a joint sigh of relief; the swim had taken place; all the swimmers had returned safely; there had been no hitches in the safety systems set up to protect the swimmers and myriad craft operators involved. Everyone was now smiling, a job well done.
Now to collect the monies, pay the bills and hand over the balance to Tenby RNLI, the beneficiary of the Swim.
2016 – A Special Swim
Four years ago Val Coates Rees, one of the 70s swimmers, asked if the Tenby Sea Swimming Association (organisers of the annual Boxing Day Swim) would consider resurrecting the swim and turning it into a regular annual event within Tenby's burgeoning Summer Festival of Sport. The Caldey Swim was reborn.
In 2013, 50 swimmers made the crossing and in 2014 100 took part.
Last year, a summer of changing weather produced a windy, choppy water offer for the day of the Swim. Always acting with safety foremost, the event had to be cancelled. And in the midst of an ever burgeoning Tenby summer festival of sport – think Long Course Weekend, Tenby 10K, Ironman Wales et al – that was it. There was no alternative Sunday when the tides matched the organisers' criteria of conditions.
So, this year's Caldey Swim, on Sunday 14th August, has an extra, rarity value. And when the three Caldey boats take the 100 swimmers from Castle Beach at 9.45 over to Priory Beach, Caldey, ready for their 10.45 start, many of them, frustrated by last year's disappointment, will be thinking they are, indeed, special.
A special event it is: an open sea swim of about 2.4 miles from Caldey Island to Tenby harbour is a real challenge. So important are the tides, the rip, the wind that the conditions have to be almost perfect for the event to take place. And you have to do it in a long dogleg direction; if you went straight you'd end up on Pendine beach!
Eight power craft (ribs & jet skis), nearly 20 kayaks, three motor vessels, a tall masted sailing ship as a marker, a dedicated team of coastguards, specialist medical teams at both ends of the swim, maybe even a lifeboat or two if there are no 'shouts' coinciding, Tenby Mayor and Chair of Pembrokeshire County Council to share handing out the medals, athletes' bottles of water for before and after the swim, bananas for an energy grab on completion, there's a lot that contributes to a simple, but actually rather complicated event.
And let's not forget the sponsors who kindly help with the costs – Princes Gate Springwater, Big Brum's Carpet & Furniture, The Port of Milford Haven – who also enable the Swim to raise loads of money for Tenby RNLI.
So at 7am on Sunday 14th August, please keep your fingers crossed that the conditions are sufficiently favourable for the organisers to 'wave the green flag' and keep them crossed until 10.45 when the swim is due to start. If you'd like to catch the finish, on the far side of Tenby Harbour quay, the first swimmer should arrive at about 11.30, the last by 12.45. You could go out on the spectator boats, leaving from Castle Beach at about 10.25, or simply watch from The Esplanade, Castle Hill, Tenby Harbour or on the beach where they land. You could even join in the congratulatory clapping – the exhausted swimmers will truly deserve your applause.
Some of the intrepid local swimmers have started their training campaign, preparing for The Long Course Weekend, Ironman Wales &, in between those two events, THE CALDEY SWIM.
Now with a full entry of 100 swimmers, additional names are being added to a reserve list. The sponsors (Milford Haven Port Authority, Big Brums Carpet & Furniture, Princes Gate Water) have all signed up again. The water & land safety teams & their support craft have been sorted.
So, roll on 14th August ….. is this your #FindYourEpic time?
2015 Swim
This year's swim takes place on Sunday 2nd August, with the swim starting from Caldey at 13.30. Swimmers, please look out the rest of your information from the Swimmers section on this website. Anyone wanting to follow the swim on one of our supporters boats, they will be leaving Tenby's Castle Beach between 12.40 and 13.00. The swimmers should arrive back at Tenby's North Beach between about 14.10 and the 'cut off' at 15.30.
So, 100 swimmers will take part in the third TSSA Caldey Swim: will you be one of them? Or will you be one of the enthusiastic spectators around Castle Hill or on North Beach welcoming them in? Either way, it's a very special day for Tenby's Festival of Summer Sport, which features the Long Course Weekend on 3rd / 5th July and finishes with Ironman Wales on 13th September. The Festival also includes the Tour of Pembrokeshire cycling sportive on 24th April, the Carten 100 cycling event from Cardiff to Tenby on 9th May and the Tenby 10k run on 27th July. A busy summer indeed.
The Caldey Swim raises funds for Tenby's RNLI and, after the first year with £3,000, last year we contributed £7,000 to the Lifeboat's financial support. How much this year?
2014 Swim
A break in the weather, the sun came out, the winds died down … the swim was ON!
97 swimmers left Priory Beach, Caldey, at 3pm on Sunday 31st August and, well inside the two hour cut off, 95 swimmers (two needed to be taken out of the water) had finished on Tenby's North Beach. Congratulations all round, to all the smiley swimmers and all those who contributed to organising, sponsoring and supporting the second TSSA organised Caldey Swim. Photos to come ….
This year prizes are going to be awarded to the best swimmers' fund raising efforts, with first prize a night's B&B at Fourcroft Hotel, together with a tour of the Tenby Lifeboat House; second prize is Sunday lunch for two at Plantagenet Restaurant; third prize is a voucher to spend at Jago's. The funds raised are handed over to Tenby's RNLI and, after last year's total of £3K, with twice the number of swimmers the target is considerably higher.
2014 Swim – date announced
This year's swim is on Sunday 31st August. So, if you think you're a competent swimmer – and you can prove it – and you'd like to enter the two miles open sea swim from Caldey Island to Tenby, download your entry application form here. Applications are open until 30th April.

Sporting events are one of the television events that networks and advertisers can still count on Americans to watch live. According to a Burst Media survey 54.2% of men will watch the Super Bowl as will 42.3% of women. Most of those viewers (79.7%) will watch the game live. Just 7.4% overall will watch it recorded-however more than one-quarter (27.0%) of 18-34 year-old men will watch it recorded. But in 2014, the Super Bowl isn't the only sporting event. The Winter Olympics are approaching fast. These are two seemingly very different events with potentially huge audiences-and digital marketers may need to adjust their approaches accordingly.
"While the Olympics and Super Bowl are very different events, brands will be looking for ways to engage audiences and boost brand awareness at both events," says Charles White, chief revenue officer of Mirror Image. "Still, the strategies will be different, in part because of the different lengths of each event, as well as the audiences they are targeting."
So much of the Super Bowl is about the ads-those big, splashy commercials that get seen across the country (and don't get fast-forwarded through). But your strategy can't end there. "The Super Bowl is just one night, so brands will be looking to make a splash and drive users to their websites or social media platforms for instant engagement," says White. "Driving users to their websites in real-time will be the best way to build relationships and create a positive experience for their target audience, all in just one night. This will open the door for future interactions now that the audience associates the brand with the Super Bowl engagement experience. Since the Super Bowl has such a large viewing audience in such a short period of time, brands need their mobile websites to be prepared for heavy traffic spikes."
But the Olympics are much different. The coverage stretches out over weeks and across multiple channels. Your strategy will have to change accordingly.
"The Super Bowl is different from the Olympics, which spans across two weeks. The strategy for brands marketing in the Olympics will have to focus on creating engagement over a longer period of time, such as prompting users to continually check the brand website for athlete updates, medals won per country, event updates, etc. The goal for brands who are marketing during the Olympic Games is to have users continuously engaging throughout the two weeks, solidifying brand loyalty."
And there is another difference you have to take into consideration. "The other key difference is in audience. The Olympics will bring a much more international audience to the table, so brands will have to be prepared for users visiting their websites and mobile applications from all over the world," White advises. "If brands aren't prepared, this can cause site delays, slow loading times, and improperly displayed content for international visitors. If you are a brand looking to advertise throughout the Olympics, make sure your website can handle the global traffic and delivery of content to various locations, all with varying connection speeds and content requirements."
Very few brands can afford to advertise around these huge events, but there are still lessons to be learned. White says, "Anytime a brand launches a new campaign that features TV advertisements, there will be a challenge of handling the influx of viewers...Brands need to worry about website lag and slow loading times, and can prepare for such issues by making sure their website is prepared to handle the increased attention... Even just a few seconds of delay in load time can cause the audience to lose its attention and head elsewhere."
And don't forget, just because you can't afford a television spot during one of the biggest sporting events of the year, doesn't mean you can't market to the fans. Social media has once again democratized marketing. "With the rise of second screen viewing, users more than ever are watching the commercials while being active on their smart phone or tablet," says White. "In fact, this year it is projected that 36% of viewers will supplement their viewing experience with another device (via Century 21)."
He continues, "Brands looking to take advantage of social campaigns, much like Oreo's timely 'blackout' Twitter post last year, still need to prepare for heavy traffic to their website. Part of creating a successful social campaign is having the audience talk about the campaign and interacting with the brand socially. That will include people searching for your brand and may ultimately lead them to visit the website to see if there is any more content, or to learn more about the brand."
So no matter whom you are-and whether or not your marketing budget allows for a splashy Super Bowl ad, or for a spot as an Olympic sponsor-you would be wise to take advantage of these audiences with a well thought out campaign. And remember that old Boy Scout motto: Be Prepared!

I'm testing V2 RC1 but not getting very far.
I set up a server and viewer (2 PC's both on the same LAN)
The viewer sees the server in the left hand panel but the icon is yellow (or maybe orange?). I assume it should be green.
I dropped the firewalls on both machines (both Win 7 using Windows Firewall).
I right clicked on the server icon and selected "Setup P2P". Two icons flashed for a bit but then went back to the single yellow icon?
The viewer and server are in the same group with the same password.
What am I missing? Anything else I need to look at? Does V2 work with Win 7?
Thanks for your help!

Bradford's Worm Stand
Bradford, as a summer fundraising project, wanted to make and sell cookies in his town. He made chocolate chip cookies on his own, with only his moms help with the oven. He then set up a stand in town with lots of signage and got lots of traffic. To continue his efforts and raise more to send to Jax, Bradford also created a "worm stand" He collected worms from the yard, put three in each baby food jar with dirt and sold them as "pets" in his neighborhood. He sold out in 30 minutes!
He earned a total of $25.56 all on his own which he has sent into the Dolphin Research Center. Bradford would like to raise more in order to earn a commemorative brick on DRC's walkway of donors, so he will continue his efforts in the fall.
Great job Bradford! From Jax, and the rest of the DRC pod, thank you so much for your support.

Hope College students and faculty are adding an out-of-this-world touch to a unique exhibition in Grand Rapids that is involving more than 200 artists from seven area colleges and art institutions.
They are among the contributors to "Michigan - Land of Riches: Re-Examining the Old Grand Rapids Public Museum," a one-of-a-kind exhibition opening in the old Grand Rapids Public Museum building - and featuring installations specific to the location and its history--on Friday, April 16.
"This is a really unique opportunity," said Bill Mayer, professor of art and coordinator of Hope's participation. "It's an unusual faculty-student collaboration, and it's going to be seen by thousands of people. This will be a major event."
The art deco building, which opened in 1939, housed the museum until replaced by the current Van Andel Museum Center in 1994. The exhibition, which will present work by student and faculty collaborative groups, will occupy two floors of the building, including 13 gallery and exhibition spaces, the laboratory and offices. The projects will incorporate museum specimens, artifacts, interactive displays and dioramas from the museum's collections. The exhibition is curated and the project directed by Paul Amenta, who is an assistant professor of sculpture and functional art at Kendall College of Art & Design of Ferris State University.
Mayer noted that Hope's installation is responding to the tradition of UFO sightings in the state.
"There are reported sightings as far back as the 1800s," he said. "There's a rich history, and we're having a lot of fun with this."
The Old Grand Rapids Public Museum is located at 54 Jefferson Ave. in Grand Rapids.
The exhibition will open with a reception on Friday, April 16, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and there will be an open house with family activities on Saturday, April 17, from noon to 5 p.m. Additional opportunities to tour the exhibition will include a "Brown Bag Lunch Series" on Thursdays, April 22, April 29, May 6 and May 13 from noon to 2 p.m.; and a community open house on Saturday, May 15, from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free, but donations will be accepted.
In addition to Hope, the participating institutions are Aquinas College, Calvin College, Grand Valley State University, Kendall College of Art & Design, the University of Michigan and the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts' ArtWorks program.

This Friday and Saturday the San Antonio Symphony will be led by guest conductor Julian Kuerti. Kuerti comes from Toronto and a musical family. His father is the distinguished pianist Anton Kuerti and his mother and brother play cello. When he is not guest conducting, he is the assistant conductor of the Boston Symphony. His background as a conductor is a bit unusual. He studied violin as a child, but has a degree with honors from the University of Toronto in engineering and physics. After college, he took a year off from school. That year included a tour of Brazil with a world music band! He then returned to Toronto and began studying conducting.
This afternoon I spoke with him about his upcoming program. At the end of this almost 6-minute conversation, he compared the compositional techniques of Bartók to broccoli! The scary part is I think I know exactly what he meant…

November 4, 2012
Sources in Tehran put out word Sunday, Nov, 4, that Iran had suddenly suspended 20-percent enrichment of uranium, stopping a short step from building a nuclear device. The sources were not official. However, an Iranian lawmaker on the majlis foreign affairs and national security committee, Mohammad Hossein Asfari, was quoted as saying that the move was a "goodwill" gesture, ahead of a new round of talks with the US scheduled to take place after the presidential elections in two days. He said if sanctions were not lifted in response for the "softening" in Iran's position, enrichment would be resumed.
Other sources report that enrichment continued uninterrupted. Tehran is therefore poised to jump either way. DEBKAfile sources note that on Oct. 20, US media reported that President Barack Obama and Iran had agreed on one-on-one talks to resolve the nuclear issue directly after the elections if Obama was returned for a second term as president. The White House then denied those reports. However, two days before the election, Tehran is transparently throwing its weight behind Obama's campaign by suggesting to the American voter that he is the best candidate to solve the nuclear crisis without resorting to the war option.
Obama's staff has been building up to this critical moment, step by step. In late September, DEBKAfile's intelligence sources report, they met secretly with Iranian emissaries and agreed that direct negotiations would be launched after the election. A team in the White House went to work on position papers for the talks. It is headed by Gary Samore, coordinator for arms control and weapons of mass destruction, and Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman who led the US delegation to the failed six-power negotiations with Iran.
This team was presented to Israel as the authors of an "endgame paper" that was to be put before Tehran as an ultimatum. But no such paper was ever shown to Jerusalem.

NY's Bloomberg: I didn't make risqué bottom remark
Mayor Michael Bloomberg isn't amused by journalists' efforts to get to the bottom of a report that he made a crass remark about a woman's posterior at a holiday party.
The New York City mayor tersely said Thursday he never made the comment described in a New York magazine article last week. The writer, Jonathan Van Meter, said he was introduced to Bloomberg at a recent party, and the mayor abruptly blurted out a vulgarity about a nearby woman's backside.
The magazine said it stands by Van Meter's reporting and wouldn't comment further.
Asked about the reported comment after an unrelated news conference Thursday, Bloomberg said he "never said it."
"I don't know where it came from. Next question," he said - and then got irritated when the next question was whether the alleged aside might be seen as part of a pattern of sexist remarks he's made.
"You can write anything you want. Don't be ridiculous. That's an outrage, for you to say that," he retorted.
The 70-year-old billionaire's outlook on women came under scrutiny before he was mayor, when a female sales executive at the financial information services company he founded filed a sexual harassment lawsuit.
It accused him and other male managers at Bloomberg L.P. of making repeated, unwelcome sexual comments and fostering a locker-room culture. The suit also claimed the founder and company displayed discriminatory attitudes toward pregnant women and new mothers.
Bloomberg, who has two daughters, adamantly denied the allegations. The suit was settled in 2000.
He has been known to use some salty language about other matters during his 11 years in office, including during a chuckled comment on what he evidently considered an overload of puns in his prepared remarks for an event before this summer's Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest.

Fox Sports's Alex Marves tweeted this morning that two members of the Cincinnati media had asked for—and received—Tim Tebow's autograph after last night's Bengals-Broncos preseason tilt. Who are the unprofessional sycophants causing such a media uproar/circle jerk?
Tebow's NFL debut was bound to lead to some heavy breathing on the part of certain media folk who are oddly invested in Tim Tebow becoming a successful NFL QB, but this is preposterous. PFT's report on the incident says that Broncos PR kicked out the autograph seekers—described as a photographer and a reporter—but only after Tebow had obliged the request.
So who in the Cincinnati media might stoop to this level of silliness in the presence of the Mighty Tebow? Chick Ludwick is the Bengals blogger for the Cincinnati Enquirer. He's a sportswriting vet—12 years at the Dayton Daily News—but admits in a post with his reactions to the game:
Prior to the draft, when all the experts were down on Florida QB Tim Tebow, I praised him to the point where I encouraged the Bengals to draft him. After his 7-yard scramble for a TD on the Broncos' final offensive play of the game, I'd say "The Chickster is vindicated!"
We're not accusing The Chickster of anything (yet!); we're merely pointing out the fanboy gushing Tebow can aspire in even the steeliest of journalism veterans. If someone like The Chickster is swooning over a 7-yard scramble in a preseason game, well, the culprit could be anyone. We turn to you, I-Team: Who is the reporter who groveled before the Quarterback of Quarterbacks? Go!
UPDATE: The Enquirer's Bengals reporter Joe Reedy has this to say concerning his colleague Chick Ludwig:
So, the Chickster is off the hook. Widen those nets, people.

What browser runs on Android? It is Chrome or a modified version of it? Also, as a side-note, how can I open site shortcuts saved from Internet Explorer on Windows to the SD Card with the browser?
There's a similar question here: Which is the Android's default browser?.
The web browser utilizes WebKit for rendering. WebKit was originally forked by Apple from the KHTML rendering engine, which powers the Konqueror web browser/file manager. The WebKit engine has been open source from the beginning and is used in many browsers including Apple Safari, Google Chrome and a few other smaller browsers.
However, I disagree with the previous two answers above. Chromium is the open-sourced code base from which Google Chrome is derived, but I believe the Android browser has it's own codebase. I do not think the Android browser derives from Chromium, which contains code for integrating with window management, tabbing, extensions and many other features that are well-suited for a desktop experience.
Browsing on a mobile phone is a different experience and I believe that Google Android Browser application is NOT derived from the Chromium code base directly, though it does implement components that are built into Chromium as well.
Every version of Android has a "android browser" that is basically a cut of the open source Chromium browser. For example, the Android Browser that lives in the AOSP v4.4 (kitkat) is based on the same code as Chrome v30.0.0. Applications that use WebViews use this Android Browser (not the user's default browser).
https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/webview/overview http://decadecity.net/blog/2013/11/21/android-browser-versions
It is an Android version of Chromium, which is what Google built on top of Webkit. The browser we call Chrome is built on top of Chromium with separate versions for Windows, OS X and Linux.
Some functionality was removed or slimmed down for the Android version.
It's similar to Safari and Mobile Safari in the sense that much of those apps code are Webkit, and on top of Webkit there's similar/identical code between the two, but they also have many parts of the code that are completely different.
Google was just up for Open Sourcing Chromium
You have Opera Mini. You have Firefox 4 Beta version (the newest). You have Skyfire (great one, and fast) And Dolphin Browser.
All of them with pros and cons.
You have them in the Android Market
1Thanks Lordinario, however, I what I meant was default browser. – Francisc Jan 2 '11 at 0:36

News From Saturn
Lakes, wind-swept dunes and plateaus. All this and more on Saturn's moon Titan.
Transcript:Greetings and Happy new year from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. My name is Douglas Equils, one of the Cassini science system engineers here with the latest news from Saturn. But first, imagine yourself standing on the shore of an alien world looking out across a lake filled with methane and ethane.
This is one of the latest discoveries that Cassini has made as it attempts to piece together the clues of Saturn's mysterious world, Titan. Since our last update, Cassini flew past Titan on December 28th of last year in an attempt to determine if Titan had a subsurface ocean. Analysis is still underway, but we can't wait for the results. As you can see from this false color image that recently appeared in the journal of Nature, the radar team has unveiled nearly a hundred lakes near Titan's north pole.
During another recent flyby of Titan, Cassini also uncovered what appeared to be wind swept dunes and dissected plateaus near Titan's equator. While chemically very different, these dunes appeared very similar to the dunes we see in the deserts here on Earth. Looking to the future, Cassini will sail past Titan on January 13th of this year, attempting to capture images that have never been seen before from Titan's northern latitudes.
Cassini will also image another area on the Titan surface called" Ganesa Macula", that was believed to be an icy volcanic dome created by water and ammonia that seeped up from the surface and formed a pancake like structure. Exciting things are on Saturn's horizon, so stay tuned.
This is the news from Cassini. I'm Douglas Equils from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

Hip-hop symposium joins academics and activists, Oct. 6
Princeton theologian and activist Cornel West will share a stage with rapper Talib Kweli, U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters of California, and some of the country's leading thinkers in the field of hip-hop music for the "Princeton Hip-Hop Symposium" on Friday, Oct. 6, at Princeton University.
The Princeton student group "Hip-Hop: Art & Life," in cooperation with the national Center for American Progress, will present a panel discussion at 2 p.m. in McCosh 50 focusing on the role of hip-hop in post-9/11 America. The event, which is free and open to the public, is intended to explore the role of the hip-hop generation as today's dominant youth culture in initiating social change.
Any members of the news media wishing to attend should contact Mike Rudoy at email@example.com or (312) 286-5651 NO LATER THAN noon Tuesday, Oct. 3.
"This event truly contrasts the four original elemental figures in hip-hop culture -- the emcee, the DJ, the graffiti artist and the B-boy -- with the four fundamental figures in social change -- the politician, the intellectual, the artist and the student," said Princeton senior Michael Rudoy, a principal organizer for the event as a member of Hip-Hop: Art & Life. "Since hip-hop culture has established itself as both dominant in youth and pop culture in America today -- and we're seeing the solidification of hip-hop as a legitimate and worthwhile academic pursuit -- these counterparts are being forced to interact in new and complex ways."
Television personality Jeffery Johnson of Black Entertainment Television (BET) will moderate a panel discussion that explores this new interaction. Johnson is popularly known as "Cousin Jeff" for his role hosting the BET show "The Cousin Jeff Chronicles," and he was previously the national youth director for the NAACP and vice president for the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network.
The panelists will include:
- West, the Class of 1943 University Professor of Religion and one of the nation's most widely known and quoted intellectuals on topics of race, politics and class issues;
- Congresswoman Waters, the Democratic representative of California's 35th District who has been vocal on issues related to minority representation in the media and social services for minorities;
- Kweli, the hip-hop artist commonly dubbed "the thinking-man's rapper" by entertainment industry insiders, including hip-hop publication The Source Magazine;
- Bakari Kitwana, an author, freelance journalist, former editor-in-chief of The Source Magazine and co-founder of the first National Hip-Hop Political Convention;
- Rosa Clemente, a hip-hop journalist, activist and community organizer recently featured on CNN, NPR and C-SPAN; and
- Maria McMath, a Princeton University doctoral candidate in anthropology who organized a similar hip-hop roundtable with West and TV host Tavis Smiley in Paris last year.
The symposium's rare gathering of political activists and social commentators on the hip-hop culture was timed to coincide with a critical period in the country's history, Rudoy said.
"We're hosting this symposium as our nation commemorates three major events that have changed our society," he said. "We're commemorating the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11 and the 219th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution on Sept. 17. As a leader in progressive higher education, it is important that Princeton recognizes the hip-hop generation's role on the American political stage. This event has been fully initiated and developed by the torchbearers of the hip-hop generation -- the students."
The symposium is being held in partnership with the Campus Progress division of the Center for American Progress, a nonpartisan research and educational institute that engages students in social activism.
Sponsors include the Frist Campus Center, Fields Center, Coca-Cola Company, Princeton University Dining Services, Center for African American Studies, the departments of politics, English, anthropology, history and music, and the programs in African studies and American studies.
The event does not require tickets and will be simulcast live at the Frist Campus Center. It will also be carried on University Channel 7. Revisit this announcement on the Princeton Web site for updates.

What caused the blackout? That's what everyone who watched Revolution's record-breaking premiere last week wants to know — even the series' own stars! Elizabeth Mitchell (Rachel) and Giancarlo Esposito (Capt. Neville) talked to TVGuide.com about their theories on what turned off the lights.
Check out other must-see new fall shows
After the pilot ended with twist — Grace (Maria Howell) pulling out a flash drive that restarted her computer — we had to start rethinking our theories (and the rules of physics). Mitchell's suggestion: "I am very intrigued by the fact that if you do have a device near it, like they show at the end of the episode, that the electricity is again okay. That to me would say that there is some sort of a shield."
Esposito took Mitchell's theory one step further. "I know that there's a device now that if it's within 100 miles offshore — and by the way, we only monitor 100 miles offshore — if it's 105 miles offshore, a magnetic pull could pull all the energy in this city of Willmington [N.C.] and put us in a blackout. In New York or in California it could do the same thing," the actor told TVGuide.com.
20 burning questions from the Revolution premiere
So is Esposito right? Could the answer be as simple as magnets? It would support Eric Kripke's claim that whatever turned off the power is theoretically possible (they even ran the secret by an actual physicist to check). Not to mention, Revolution producer J.J. Abrams does have a history with electromagnestism.
But whatever the cause, the show's world, filled with a violent militia and corrupt government, has made Mitchell a little nervous about the big reveal. "I almost don't want them to say the answer because I don't want someone to test it," she laughed.
What do you think caused the blackout?

Country house lifestyle by design
Nora Murphy goes for a look that's laid-back, comfortable, clean and beautiful
It started with a blog called Connecticut Country House. Nora Murphy, of Newtown, filled her it with posts about the activities of her country lifestyle -- gardening, antiquing, cooking and entertaining, but most of all, with design.
That's not surprising; design is what Murphy's career has been steeped in, first as an interior designer trained at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, then as the design project manager of furniture at Polo Ralph Lauren and, finally, as executive vice president of style and advertising at Ethan Allen in Danbury. Since leaving Ethan Allen, she has focused on sharing her lifestyle perspective with other like-minded people.
Launching the Connecticut Country House blog in 2011 was Murphy's first step in creating what has evolved into a lifestyle brand. It encompasses an online magazine called Nora Murphy Country House Style and space at the Fairfield County Antique and Design Center in Norwalk for her Nora Murphy Country House -- The Hunt Club Shop. There she sells unique pieces, such as a 19th-century tartanware chest of drawers, a wooden chest with a blue-and-green tartan pattern applied directly to the wood.
Murphy's inspiration is her own antique saltbox in Newtown, where she lives with her husband, Rick, and son, Conor, 17, as well as their dog, Fiona, and cat, Martin Luther King. The house, built in 1767, consistently caught her eye as she passed it on her commute from Newtown to Danbury. When a Realtor's for sale sign appeared on the property, she knew she had to at least discuss the possibility with her husband. She was thrilled when he also fell in love with the house, and they were able to buy it.
"The online magazine is for lovers of country houses, their comfort, beauty and laid-back attitude," Murphy said. "We've had a wonderful response.
"The idea of a country house is pretty universal. A country house can be in California or Connecticut, but also in the English countryside, or a Tuscan villa is a country house. It's not just an American country vibe."
She remembers first being attracted to the idea of a country house lifestyle as a young girl accompanying her mother to work. "My mom was a housekeeper for a wealthy woman, Mrs. Gilman, in Southport," Murphy said. "Mrs. Gilman had an apartment in New York City and an 18th-century manse on Sasco Hill Road with a small building -- a Cape Cod house -- as an artist's studio. I was just a little kid hanging around in the little house while my mom helped Mrs. Gilman, but I loved the casual vibe. It was fun and relaxed. It was so positive; it put a smile on my face."
Although Murphy's home has a primitive country aesthetic, she is comfortable working with different kinds of architecture and interior styles.
The essence of her country house lifestyle is "laid-back, comfortable, clean, beautiful -- and it speaks to the five senses," she said.
"I think she's bringing back classic America," said Victoria Greer, a reader of Murphy's blog and magazine. "There's nothing out there like what she's doing."
Greer, an interior designer residing in Greer, S.C., has never met Murphy, but was drawn to her online publications because of her own love of Connecticut; she lived in New Milford from 1980 to 1981, and fell in love with the state's history, stone walls, interior decor and architecture. She found Murphy's blog and from there, the magazine.
While Greer's clients skew toward a more traditional home decor, Greer said she finds Murphy's way of working with something traditional in an unexpected way to be "fresh and classic and friendly, just like Nora."
"Everything I approach, I come from a design perspective," Murphy said.
Her son Conor, who has been surrounded by this philosophy his whole life, joked that he has "the curse" -- an eye for design.
"He told me he saw something in school he wanted to rearrange," Murphy said about a comment her son made when he was 14. "That's my boy!"

Site Update
Submitted by pete on May 14, 2005 - 15:00
For thise few brave souls who have stumbled onto this site and are wondering what the status of our blog is... As of right now we are tentatively aiming for a full site launch in the Fall. It was our original intention to launch in December/January with the full content package to coincide with what we hoped would be the end of the NHL labor dispute. Unfortunately, thanks to Messers Bettman and Goodenow that didn't happen. Now we are guessing (hoping) both sides can conclude their squabbles by August or so and that we can get back to goals and assists as opposed to salary caps. In the meantime we are going to move with some deliberation towards updating and revamping the site software (with much love to resident cyber guru and fellow Tech grad and Boltprospects founder Tim) before we start to fill in the content for the site which will include new organizational rankings, draft coverage, game threads etc etc. Until then, I will be adding some of my own content from time to time (as I have been) to remark on some of the important happenings in Europe as well as sharing some of my own rankings and recaps of the season that was(n't) in the Lightning organization. So stay tuned... you never know. Bettman and Goodenow may join hands and sing songs about a new CBA and the June draft could be back on at any time, and we'll be here to cover it for you. Thanks for your patience.
