Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk: Detailing the issues
There's been a lot of heat today about Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx Talk. And in the spirit of radical openness, I'd like to bring the community into our process.
While TED does not vet speakers at independent TEDx events, a TEDx talk can be removed from the TEDx archive if the ideas contained in it are wrong to the point of being unscientific, and that includes misrepresenting the scientific process itself.
Sheldrake is on that line, to some commenters around Twitter and the web. His talk describes a vision of science made up of hard, unexamined constants. It's a philosophical talk that raises general questions about how we view science, and what role we expect it to play.
When my team and I debate whether to take action on a TEDx talk, we think deeply about the implications of our decision -- and aim to provide the TEDx host with as clear-cut and unbiased a view as possible.
You are invited, if you like, to weigh in today and tomorrow with your thoughts on this talk. We'll be gathering the commentary into a couple of categories for discussion:
1. Philosophy. Is the basis of his argument sound -- does science really operate the way Sheldrake suggests it does? Are his conclusions drawn from factual premises?
2. Factual error. (As an example, Sheldrake says that governments do not fund research into complementary medicine. Here are the US figures on NIH investment in complementary and alternative medicine 2009-2010: http://nccam.nih.gov/about/budget/institute-center.htm )
As a note: Please know that whether or not you have time or energy to contribute here, the talk is also under review by the TED team. We're not requiring your volunteer labor -- but we truly welcome your input. And we're grateful to those who've written about this talk in other forums, including but not limited to Jerry Coyne, PZ Myers, Kylie Sturgess and some thoughtful Redditors.

Mar 8 2013: Craig, I am well aware of reputable scientific journals and the workings of peer review. Unfortunately the Journal of Parapsychology is not a qualified journal to offer legitimacy, insight or adjudication for the issues Sheldrake raises.It isn't a science journal at all. However, the fact that you see it as reputable explains why you don't understand the scientific issues that are involved here. Of course a journal is only as good as the editors and scientists who contribute and no journal has a perfect record.
Troy TiceMar 8 2013: The Journal of Parapyschology is published by The Parapsychological Association, which has been an affiliated organization of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 1969. It most definitely is a rigorous science journal. The fact that you think it offers no "legitimacy, insight or abjudication for the issues Sheldrake raises" strikes me as prejudicial.
Craig Weiler 10+Mar 8 2013: Barry,
The Journal of Parapsychology is a good example of where real science and the irrationality of skepticism meet. Besides what Troy said, which is true, the studies that are published are about 85% double blind, which is far and away more than any other branch of science. They publish more opposing views than most journals and act in every way as one of the most reputable journals in all of science.
But you dismiss this with a wave of the hand. You are doing what so many skeptics do: walling off evidence that you find inconvenient to your world view.
sandy stone 30+Mar 8 2013: Parapsychology is slowly working it's way into mainstream journals. There are articles in Nature, Science and IEEE, to name a few. That being said, most of the science literature I read is in smaller more specialized journals (ie. The Journal of Paleolimnology) that concentrate on specific areas of study. The Journal of Parapsychology also concentrates on a particular area of study and it's peer-review process is no less stringent than that of other peer-reviewed publications.
Mar 8 2013: Troy, Craig and sandy, affiliation of the Journal of Parapsychology to AAAS confers zero status on the organization at all. Claiming it to be a rigorous Journal is pure assertion. The key question is whether, through the work of parapsychologists they have been able to define.articulate, test and repeat an overarching scientific theory of psi/esp/ghosts/ghouls and goblins? Please point me to this because this is where serious science starts.
To the credit of the Parapsychology Association, they are now doing a much better job of policing the field and have made more effective strides at filtering the complete nonsense and fiction that caused the most egregious methodological errors or years past. But they have produced zero by way of evidence or theory that stands rigorous scientific scrutiny.
But this is all really irrelevant. This is not the organization that gets to adjudicate and decide on Sheldrake's claims on, for example, consciousness or the speed of light. I am sure Sheldrake will find many supporters in that organization...but it isn't science when they talk about it.
Jon FreemanMar 8 2013: One of the challenges here for someone who sees himself as a scientist (in terms of thought process and evidence base) but has actually had psychic experiences (too many and too far outside conventional explanation to ignore) is that there is nowhere that I could possibly find legitimisation for my experience that would be accepted by scientific skeptics. The very nature of the phenomenon is placed outside of the domain that their views of what constitute "science" will allow. They define the rules of evidence such that even a thousand people having a thousand experiences like mine, would not be acceptable. Oh dear - I have just categorised myself as "woo". Must be time for me to leave this debate.
Mar 8 2013: Jon, science doesn't advance on the basis of personal anecdotes, however frequently they have occurred to you and however real you thought they were. However, if there are "a thousand" people out there claiming the exact same experiences as you this is definitely a testable phenomenon, assuming it is something that has impact on the natural world. Being skeptical about your claims isn't an extreme position that nasty scientists take because they disagree with you, it's because that every time these claims have been studied they have been found wanting. Some of the claims have been incapable of study because they are not scientifically verifiable. So your belief of those rests on faith. You might see yourself as a scientist, but you don't reason like one.
Mar 8 2013: Yes that is exactly my point Barry. Would you please show me how, within the ways that science is currently set up and funded, it would be possible for me to take my repeated "anecdotal" experiences, and those of the many others I know who are much more skilled in these areas than I am, and turn them into something that you would accept as proof. Better still, how would it be if you and those like you were to review material like that from the Princeton PEAR unit which provides substantial hard evidence of such phenomena? The problem that I have is not that there is a demand for ecidence, it is that when evidence exists, it is ignored, or treated as "this must be wrong because it doesn't fit our theoretical framework. When will science do the genuinely scientific thing and accpet that if the evidence contradicts the theory, there must be a flaw in the theory? My "belief" does not rest on faith. It rests on evidence. It is not belief it is knowledge. The PEAR studies are evidence. My experience may not have bveen gathered under laboratory conditions but it does meet the scientific criteria of being repeatable - not in exact terms but in generic ones. We treat meteorology as a science even though it never works with exactly the same conditions twice. We treat evolution as a science even though it is not carried out in a laboratory and relies on forming patterns from relatively limited evidence trails. All I am asking is for the same standards to be applied, but when it comes to a claim like "psychism" the bar is raised to the absolute highest. There is no justification for this and I do not accept your statement that I do not reason like a scientist. You have no right to have made it. Your choice to dismiss what I know as "acecdotal" is exactly the kind of cheap dismissal that Sheldrake complains of. It is coled-minded and based on assumptions about me, what I know, what I have studeid and how I think that are unjustified and basically insulting.
Mar 9 2013: Jon, there is nothing in my post that treats your views unkindly or insults you. The term "anecdote" is a legitimate descriptive term to describe a single experience. That is exactly how you described your experience - as something that happened to you. There is a broader discussion to be had about what constitutes evidence. You personal experience is exactly that - experiential. It is certainly a form of evidence that has huge significance to you, but it counts very little in science. When I observed that you "do not reason like a scientist" it was because you were using the term without making that distinction clear. It isn't "insulting" to point this out, merely factual. Had you corrected yourself in your reply i would have credited the error, but you simply proceeded to argue from authority by referencing the PEAR data. What you fail to point out with the PEAR studies is that the effect size, while statistically significant, was extremely small and almost certainly caused by publication bias (Radin, D.; Nelson, R.; Dobyns, Y.; Houtkooper, J. (2006). "Reexamining psychokinesis: comment on Bösch, Steinkamp, and Boller". Psychological Bulletin 132 (4): 529–32; discussion 533–37. doi:10.1037/0033-2909.132.4.529. PMID 16822164.).
You appeal for a level playing field but what you fail to appreciate is that you are actually making special pleading for psi. The simple matter is that when all psi studies are put to the same rigorous evaluation as studies in natural sciences, they fail. That doesn't diminish what you feel about your experiences, but it does show that the psi field has a long way to go before it even gets to the starting line in scientific terms. This isn't natural science bullying psi or being unreasonable to it, but requiring standards of evidence that they have so far failed to meet. The fact that you fail to account for this is another reason my comment that "you don't reason like a scientist" is justified. I respect your view, but it's not scientific

Nisemonogatari (Fake story)
Nisemonogatari is a very understanding series. It understands the difference between pornography and eroticism is a fine line and gyrates provocatively on the latter side. It understands that by emasculating the protagonist and slavishly worshipping the otherwise entirely female cast it champions misandry over feminism. It understands family members transcend the commonly held notions of love and hate and that often reason and logic don't apply. It also understands, and this is crucial, that as a phenomenon, the Monogatari franchise (including Bakemonogatari before and the upcoming Kizumonogatari film) are fleeting. And damned if it isn't going to burn magnesium bright while it can.

A 25-year-old woman who tried to liven the place up with a little naked dancing was arrested for indecent exposure after a recent cemetery jig.
According to an article by my breaking news brethren in the Arizona Republic, Kara Mitchell was completely naked in Mesa Cemetery Friday morning.
Mesa police there said she removed her top and danced for a while before dropping her pants. She twirled around cemetery employees and visitors "paying their respects to the deceased.
After the dance, perhaps some sort of ancient ritual we've never heard of, she went to the cemetery office and was observed talking to herself. Police found her in a golf cart.
Fortunately for her, no children were present, else she would be facing serious charges.

fortunately for her?

Because heaven knows, the body God gave us must be totally covered at all times. And children should not know what naked people look like. I call ahead when visiting the High museum and have them cover all the naked ladies in the paints whenever we go visit. Let's call the S.W.A.T. teams out on all the nudists camps. Pst. there's one in N. GA that has families…including kids! All running around naked! OMG!
This girl needs help. But so does this up tight hyper moral society. American society needs to rethink some of the crap that came down from the Dark Ages. It was called the Dark Ages for a reason.
Well, I have to go an put some clothes on my dog. He's running around naked again. Sigh.

Has anyone thought that this woman simply did some wild drugs and got a little too rowdy? I mean, maybe she had no idea she was in a cemetary and got hot, then felt like doing a jig. Sounds pretty possible to me.

Geeze, we are all born naked! whats the big deal? I mean lets turn everyone into a sex offender.
I have heard it said by many who really know, that if nudity were common place sex crimes would be all but gone. it is that it would be no big deal. for a free country we sure are backward thinking when it comes to sex. there is not one of us here today that is not here without a sex act. We all want to think
it was all procreation on our folks part but in truth it was likley because its' fun. Have fun, get naked.

Lordy lordy, A human dances naked, Lucky the children did not see…or she would have been "facing serious charges"! Where is this scary place with such punitive laws? China? North Korea? The sooner we all dance naked the better the world would be as it would cure those with unhealthy fascination brought on by having been denied to see what is natural…

Spring yard waste collection in Dubuque includes food scraps
April 03, 2013
Collection of yard waste and food scraps began Monday in Dubuque, and other cities in eastern Iowa and northwestern Illinois. Each year, Dubuque's weekly curbside pickup program runs from April through November.
Paul Schultz, the city's Resource Management Coordinator, prefers to call grass clippings, leaves and branches "yard debris." He says, "It's not waste until it's wasted. It can be used for a beneficial use."
In 2006, Dubuque began picking up food scraps from homes, schools and businesses, taking them to the city's compost site. But Schultz says it can only accept a maximum of two tons per week.
He hopes Dubuque will finalize a contract soon with a Minnesota-based company called Full Circle Organics. It could accept up to 39 tons of food scraps per week. "The private company can keep food out of the waste stream and create a product for gardeners," according to Schultz.
Full Circle Organics may also collect methane produced by the breakdown of the food scraps. That would keep the gas from polluting the air, and allow it to be sold for commercial use.

SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. -- A burglar startled a homeowner Sunday who happened to be sleeping.
It happened near the 19000 block of North Dunn Road.
The 38-year-old victim thought she heard the Christmas tree fall over. When she went to investigate, she noticed a person coming up the stairs toward her.
When she screamed, the burglar ran back down the stairs, according to police. The suspect tried to exit at the patio door but was unable to open the door. The victim yelled at the suspect to remove the stick from the runner in order to open the door.
The victim could not see the suspect's entire face because he was wearing a stocking cap and face mask, said authorities. She said she could tell he was a white male and that he had an average build. A K9 search ended on the side of a road in a wooded area where the suspect possibly left in a vehicle.
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for anyone providing information leading to an arrest in this incident. Persons with information should call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 1-800-222-TIPS, or should forward the tip via the Internet website

MADISON (WKOW) -- Both the candidates for U.S. Senate cast their ballots in Madison this morning.
Republican Tommy Thompson is hoping to beat Democrat Tammy Baldwin to take the U.S. Senate seat from the Democrats, who have held it since 1957.
The former governor has never lost a statewide election, but he's on the ballot for the first time since 1998.
After voting in Madison on Tuesday, Thompson said he is confident in his chances now that the election is in the voters hands.
He said his hope now is for Wisconsin legislators to come together to bridge the partisan differences and work together at both the state and federal levels.
"Now is the time to forget about the bitterness and go on and pick up the pieces, solve the problems for America and move forward," Thompson said. "And lets build this country the old fashioned way, with hard work, and with honesty and integrity, and high ethics."
Thompson will join other Republican Tuesday night in Pewaukee for an election night party at the Milwaukee Marriott West. The doors open at 8 p.m.
27 News' Tony Galli will have more on 27 News at 5, 6 and 10.

2003 Domaine Henri Gouges Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru Les Chênes Carteaux[/url] - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits St. Georges 1er Cru (3/20/2013)
At Dorks of York. My bottle. Biggest wine on the table. Ripe red fruits, minerality, fennel and some extract that confused the other tasters--Burg or not? Still very primary. Backed by masculine/rustic tannins that should smooth at least somewhat wit time, but what it lacks in elegance it makes up in soul. 2nd oldest wine on the table chronologically but the youngest in terms of where it's at within its own lifespan. Needs 3-5 years more cellaring. My WOTN. (90+ pts.)
[*]2010 Mongeard-Mugneret Vosne-Romanée - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée (3/20/2013)
At Dorks of York. Cherry, rhubarb, celery root, tobacco and light spice hinting at more to come. Lighter bodied; very cut, precise and obviously Burgundy while remaining tight throughout even though it was decanted early on and the last wine served. Very nice! (90+ pts.)
[*]2005 Craggy Range Pinot Noir Te Muna Road Vineyard - New Zealand, North Island, Wairarapa, Martinborough (3/20/2013)
At Dorks of York. Maturing pinot nose of musty raspberry fruit with dried thyme, tomato skin, and notes of lavender soap and Eureka lemon rind that came and went over the course of the evening. At peak and best bottle yet of the six I bought originally--a real nice showing for a wine I wasn't sure would age well. (89 pts.)
[*]2006 Mount Baker Pinot Noir Estate Puget Sound - USA, Washington, Puget Sound (3/20/2013)
At Dorks of York. Cherries and lavender on the nose. Maturing well, and very similar to the Craggy Range in this flight but just a tad simpler. Still, impressive for local juice (no one guessed) and holding up very well. (87 pts.)
[*]2009 MacRostie Pinot Noir - USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros (3/20/2013)
At Dorks of York. Sweet CA fruit with cherry-spice of Smith Bros cough drops and cola--(I guessed it be a Carneros). Very agreeable with ample fruit, smooth acids and tannins--but more a sipper than a fascinator. (87 pts.)
[*]2001 Marchesi Pancrazi Pinot Nero Villa di Bagnolo Toscana IGT - Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT (3/20/2013)
At Dorks of York. Obviously older (I wondered at first if too old). Necrotic nose dominated by fungal notes and in time joined on the palate by orange rind, fig, kalamata olive and dried French basil (some thought mint or eucalyptus, but they're not experienced cooks, so that might have been a convenient reflex). A crazy wine lacking any typicity or pinot character (hence the lower score) but what a fun ride. (86 pts.)

Chivas USA's 2013 SuperDraft pick Carlos Alvarez gave his first television interview on Sunday, Jan. 20th to Spanish language channel Univision. In the interview, Alvarez spoke about his short, but overall, great experience with the club, his winning mentality and his desire to win with Chivas USA. Watch the interview below.
El seleccionado de Chivas USA en el SuperDraft de 2013 Carlos Álvarez dio su primera entrevista a la cadena de televisión Univisión el domingo, 20 de enero. En la entrevista, Álvarez hablo de su corto, pero especial experiencia con el equipo, su mentalidad ganadora y su deseo de ganar con Chivas USA. Vea la entrevista:
With a little over a month until the first MLS match of the season, Chivas USA hit The Home Depot Center's Field 6 for Day 10 of preseason.
Coach Jose Luis 'Chelis' Sanchez Solá spoke with the team prior to starting practice and explained what the objective was for that training: improve fitness and passes. Since the start of preseason, Chivas USA President Jose David has enjoyed the team's training, watching the team work together to improve on a daily basis. And so far, he likes what he sees.
"I'm very happy with the way the team has been coming together," said David. "Chelis has brought this unique way of training and the players have embraced it very well. We can't wait to get the 2013 season started."
Chivas USA will return to training on Tuesday to continue preparing for their upcoming scrimmage, scheduled for Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 11 a.m. against the Santa Clarita Storm at The Home Depot Center Field 6. Fans are welcome to come out and support the Red-and-White; entry and parking are at no cost.

We're less than one month away until Chivas USA face the Colorado Rapids in the first preseason match against an MLS team. The match is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 15 at Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas and will kick-off the Las Vegas ProSoccer Challenge.
The last time Chivas USA faced Colorado was at The Home Depot Center when the Rapids defeated the Red-and-White 2-0 on October 20. In the first of three encounters in 2012, the Rapids took a 4-0 win in Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Juan Pablo Angel scored in the second encounter for the final 1-1 draw with the Rapids.

Chivas USA selected Paul Islas from Fresno Pacific University in the MLS Supplemental Draft on Tuesday morning as the only forward selected in the draft.
"I was watching the live feed and the draft tracker on the website and it was having trouble loading up," said Islas to FPUathletics.com. "I started getting all these texts saying congratulations and I had no idea what they were talking about until someone finally said I got drafted by Chivas USA."
In 2012, Islas played in 19 games (18 starts), scoring 22 goals and adding 12 assists, a collegiate personal best. In his four years at Fresno Pacific, the Fresno native disputed a total of 69 games (64 starts), scored a total of 55 goals, and sums 33 assists.
In the match below, Islas scored two goals for Fresno, helping the team earn a spot in the NCCAA West Finals:
Chivas USA announced today the acquisition of midfielder Eric Avila in exchange for Nick LaBrocca. Avila joined the Goats for the start of training camp last Friday and has since been training with the club.
Although young, Avila brings vast experience to Chivas USA, spending four seasons with FC Dallas (2008-2011) and two with Toronto FC (2011-2012), playing a total of 96 games (33 starts), notching five goals and adding 11 assists to his career. With Ryan Smith no longer with the club, Avila will be fighting for a spot in the midfield against Frenchman Laurent Courtois.
Avila is not a stranger to The Home Depot Center; he joined Chivas USA's U19 squad back in 2005 before he enrolled in UC Santa Barbara. In his first year with the Gauchos, Avila helped UCSB win their first national after scoring the game-winning goal in the Division I National Championship match.
With Chivas USA, fans can expect Avila to score at least one goal; the San Diego native has scored one goal every year since 2009. How many goals will he score with the Red-and-White in 2013?
First up in the MLS Supplemental Draft, Chivas USA selected Jose Diaz as the second overall pick of Tuesday's draft. The University of California at Riverside defender played a total of 62 games (58 starts) in his collegiate career with the Highlanders. In 2012, he scored three goals, a personal best for Diaz.
Check out a few highlights from Diaz at UCR:
-From Corona, Calif.
-Major: Mechanical Engineering
-Lists favorite Kobe Bryant, Manny Ramirez, and Mikah Richards as his favorite athletes
-Enjoys eating Mexican food
-Hobbies include playing video games
-Most memorable sporting achievement was connecting on a game-winning goal at the last minute
Chivas USA selected defender Joe Franco from California State University, Northridge in the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft on Tuesday morning.
Check out a few match highlights from Franco in his time with CSUN:
Here are few facts about Franco:
-Played in all 21 games (all starts) in the 21 matches of 2012
-Was named Big West Defender of the Year
-Franco is from Monrovia, Calif.
-Favorite European team is Manchester United
-Lists "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" as his favorite television show
-Follow him on Twitter: @Jo3Franco
After last week's MLS SuperDraft on Thursday, Chivas USA now turns to the Supplemental Draft scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 21st starting at 11 a.m. PT. The Red-and-White currently have the second, 19th, 21st, 40th and 59th overall selection in the Draft.
Chivas USA's most notable Supplemental Draft pick was back in 2005, when goalkeeper Dan Kennedy was selected by the Red-and-White in the fourth round. Just last year, the Red-and-White 'keeper had over 109 saves in 32 games and has had two consecutive seasons of over 100 saves.

Federal money is drying up for meth lab cleanups, making it more difficult for local law enforcement agencies to dispose of toxic leftovers from meth labs. ABC News reports that at the same time that methamphetamine labs are on the rise, federal budget cuts mean local law enforcement agencies are losing millions of dollars they once had to get rid of hazardous chemicals such as battery acid, starting fluid and anhydrous ammonia.
A Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) grant that provided $19.2 million to states and local agencies for disposing of meth labs ran out in February. The grant came from the U.S. Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Services and was used to dispose of toxic chemicals from more than 10,000 labs, ABC News reports. The proposed federal budget does not include any new funding for meth lab cleanup. Local law officers say they don't know where they will find more money in a time of budget cuts at every level.
According to the DEA the average cost of a meth lab cleanup is $2,000 to $3,000. An estimated 12,500 or more meth lab cleanups are expected nationwide in 2011.

#18 - ChrisToronto Winter Antidote
(Today is the last day for submissions!)
Name: ChrisToronto
Location: Toronto, Canada
Type: Rental house, approx. 1,000 sq. ft.
Why I use color:
Color--especially warm shades and tones--is my antidote to Canada's long, dark winters. When the sun don't shine, I make my own!
2 Good color tips:
1. Color doesn't have to be on the walls to make a statement; area rugs and window coverings can do most of the talking, then just accessorize to pull the scheme together.
2. I use flowers to help pull ajoining rooms together, so for instance, I'll use orange flowers in the diningroom to pull in some of the orange from my livingroom. Also, the ceilings in both rooms are painted the same ultra-pale sky blue.
Favorite type and brand of paint:
Favorite brand of paint: Hands down, Farrow & Ball. I've used it in every room of my house. In these shots the living room is Dauphin, the dining room is Biscuit and both ceilings are Skylight.

Lovely. This makes me want to have tea - right now! Your color tips are spot on, and you've managed to make your home look completely pulled together even with such variety of pieces. Well done!
i must say, this is lovely.
This is perfect! I love how eclectic and stylish everything is...when you want to consider the alternative to minimalism, this is what it looks like for me. It's a great space.
This is really inspiring - I love the trunk in the fireplace.
Holy crap! I have that same poster of the Mikado! Good taste, my friend.
incredibly funky, unique, and sophisticated. wow!
i think i actually have the same ceramic hand as the one you have on your mantle in the 2nd photo. i think it's from an old department store display...
oh, and the live plants, too, add a lot of life, freshness, and color to the space. great job!
I love the porcelain lamp with the orange shade.
Wow. There is so much interesting pattern and texture going on.
from looking at these pictures I would have never guessed that a) this is a rental and that b) you live in canada! bravo, this is awesome!
Wow, looks great. Really like the proportions of the pieces and the way you set up the wall decor to the place looks complete. That first photo of couch with orange drapes behind looks like a great contrast!
I figure you must work in the industry somehow (or be gay). Please tell me your profession? It it related to design?
Each piece is not exactly my style, but the way you pulled it together and arranged furniture so well, and chose correctly proportioned sizes and mixed up colors, it looks great. I am really into different materials, i see you used fabric, glass, chrome, etc....not all wood.
Also, can't say that this entry is really about COLOR though, it is more about good design, than color. :( sorry.
This is so not my style, but I rate it an insta-finalist because when the photo popped up on my screen it gave me an immediate WOW between the bright orange rug, the spiky green plants, and the white sofa. Great color work!
I've been hoping to be wowed. Now I am.
i'm not sure if this is my style, but what you've done here really appeals to me on some level. maybe on a retro level that reminds me of a 70's vibe.
LOVE the plants! It's so nice to see someone who obviously loves plants as much as I do AND uses them as decor elements. I vote insta-finalist!
P.S. I LOVE your ceramic spaniel collection under the yellow lamp shade in the dining room. I have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels a Tri-color and a Blenheim) and I really want to start collecting the figures too!
I voted Insta-Finalist before even looking at the third picture. WOW!!!
This looks great - what are the two plants in the first photo? The tall one on the left and the one in the top right?
Even a modernist like myself can appreciate this GEORGEOUS home. WOW! I love it all day.
Wow, thanks everyone for the encouraging comments! I'm really "chuffed," as Colin & Justin might say.
First, let me sing a mea culpa and apologize to my partner Mike for taking all the credit for OUR rooms; Mike and I decorated the space together and hunted long and hard for flea market finds and Craigslist bargains to fill our home.
In answer to a few of the questions here:
The trunk in the fireplace holds all the dog toys. We have two Scotties, a brother and sister act named Punch and Judy.
The orange flokati rug is machine washable (if you can find a machine big enough) and is THE most amazing thing for any dog owner. Highly recommended.
The Mikado poster is a souvenir of Mike's; he worked on that production at the Stratford Festival.
Industry or gay? Both, sort of. I'm a sometime graphic designer and Mike is a chef--we both LOVE home decor.
And finally, the Staffordshire dog collection is Mike's but we try very hard to keep a lid on this particular folly. Our latest thing is Chinese Foo dogs and we just bought a beautiful pair of 19th century ones at auction.
Thank you Apartment Therapy for this terrific and fun site!
I love this place! The beautiful couch make me want to have a nice hot cup of English Breakfast tea and a scone, while that orange shag rug reminds me of a Sesame Street character (and oddly Mrs Roper). It's hard to pull of a sense of style while still having a sense of humor. Well done.
BTW, I commend you on your guts for using orange. Orange is often a scary colour. I stayed safe and went with blue and green in my house, but would love to step it up with something bold.
not my taste in the last but I still loved it, so that's really saying something.
love it love lit love it love it!
i adore the wall hanging behind the orange lamp and the wallpaper on the fireplace wall...
well done, guys!
Finally someone on this site that is not mid-century. Inmy humble pedestrian opinion, this is gorgeous!!
I was getting quite over-loaded with the eames, wanna-be-eames stuff. It was becoming cookie cutter, everyone had the same stuff albeit in different colours, settings or somewhat diluted. When I first joined this site I enquired whether or not mid-century was the only taste here. I got a no but looking in the archives and reading the comments regarding this posting I am more convinced that Apartment Therapy is only for the mid-c's.
Bravo to Chris and family.
P.S. can we see rest of the flat? i.e. bedroom, bathroom and kitchen.
Wowza! Love it. It's a bit much for me to be able to live in, but I admire the layering of textures & colors. Really love that ceramic white & orange lamp. I was a bit distracted by that very large, spiky plant in the first picture.
This is one of my favorite AT apartments ever. I love your Dr. Seuss-looking plant, the paint colors, all the orange, the combination of ornate, Asian, and modern stuff. Very very nice!
what fun!
Super-gorgeous. I can't wait to see more pics in the finals!
The plant to the left is a Dracaena marginata. They are extremely forgiving with a forgetful waterer. We have two that we really love.
that chandelier is sooo sexy!
siiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Beautiful.
I can't believe you haven't been profiled in Canadian House & Home yet guys. You have superb taste.
very cool.
wow, i have very similar dining chairs (your black ones). i got mine via craigslist- where did you guys get yours?
go orange!!!
mar- of mar and bry.
Love it all, I could really live in a place like this, it would be so great to hang out in this space drinking wine with friends on a freezing February night. As a fellow Canadian, I have to say that having large plants in the house really makes the winters that much easier.
This is what my place wants to look like when it grows up and gets it's act together. All together splendid!
Chris, if you stop by again, would you share information about the wallpaper above the fireplace? Anyone else recognize it?
Woohoo, fellow Torontonian! There really should be an apartment therapy: toronto, huh?
Anyway, it's already a given that this place is awesome, so really, I don't think I can add anymore to that :)
My questions about the plants in the first picture. In the back two corners, there's the tall 'tree', with the spikes, and the other one with giant fat leaves in the other corner. I love 'em both, and have been looking for them for a while, but don't know what they are called. Anyone?
And ChrisToronto, if you're out there, where did you get them (in Toronto)?
in the words of Steve Carrell in "Anchorman"
"I Love Lamp". :)
I didn't expect to like this one so much. It's just so well balanced and still makes a clear statement. Though I am worried about that one striped vase on the edge of the mantle!
Dear Chris and Mike,
Kudos to you both for the wonderful job! Your place looks great! Please invite me over the next time I'm home in T.O.; I would love to see it in real life!
Woo, represent T.O.!
And a gorgeous place to boot. Bravo!
My Mum had that "woven" wallpaper in the 70s!
Thanks again for all the encouragement. Mike and I are flattered and a little embarrassed. Our décor is constantly evolving to incorporate our latest finds, so things look different today (better we think) than when those pics were taken.
Anyway, about the pattern on the chimney breast—it's paint! Since the photos were taken we switched out the drapes in the dining room to a black and gold basket weave. We wanted to incorporate the pattern into the living room so I scanned a swatch of the drape fabric and printed it out on a transparency, which we then projected onto the wall with an overhead projector. Then we just filled in the pattern like paint-by-numbers. We used the paint color from the dining room as the background and the living room color for the pattern; that way it cost us nothing but our time (the better part of a Sunday) and the projector rental ($40).
We had our eye on a gorgeous gold chinoiserie wallpaper from Thibault but there was a three roll minimum, which would have put the order at around $400. For a chimney breast??? The paint option was a lot cheaper. Why do paper manufacturers and retailers insist on the three roll minimum, anyway? We think they'd sell a lot more paper and fuel more interest in their products if they relaxed this silly rule.
Thanks again everyone!
PS--Wig3000 is right about the large spiky tree, which is a Dracena marginata. The plant on the right is a common "split-leaf," don't know the Latin name, sorry.
I have been a little disappointed with the entries so far, nothing really stood out other than maybe 2 others (one was a historic home somewhere southern? With a fab dining room) But this is FANTASTIC, it really looks professionally done. Insta-finalist, no question.
By the way, love the Colin and Justin reference! They are the best!
Heather Cooper did the illustration for The Mikado poster. She is an artist, illlustrator and designer working out of Toronto.
An interview from the Canadian Centre for Comtemporary Art
Nice room composition. As I'm looking at this, I'm realizing that there is indeed a "Toronto look". I think you've captured it.
2 Dark 2 80s.
I agree with Tiffany... I liked some of the entries but nothing was out of the ordinary... and this one is simply beautiful...
May I ask where you get the chandelier?
So unexpected and not what I would choose at all, but just lovely. It has just a tinge of the seventies, but with such taste and panache. Well done.
Love your couch, chairs and that chandelier.
I dunno, I think this looks nice but I am also glad I don't live in such an environment. It is far too full and too 70's for me... Call me European ;-)
PS: lol @ "I figure you must work in the industry somehow (or be gay). Please tell me your profession? It it related to design?"
Can I move in or at least come over for dinner to bask in the great design and enjoy Mike's cooking?
This is delightful! I love the mix of textures and the courageous use of orange! The tones in the chandelier pull the whole thing together beautifully. Well done!
this is a beauty! love the organic green with the yummy orange and that chandelier!
Where did you get that golden mirror in the 2nd photo??
I've been looking for something like that!!!
I don't care for most chandeliers, but I love this one!
Kudos Chris and Mike! This is the first entry I've gotten really excited about. Love your style and your use of color. I especially love the dining room with that beautiful Chinese cabinet and the Staffordshire dogs. The dining chairs are great as well.
Lovely use of dead animal skins.
I adore the use of orange in your living room! I am looking for a similar orange curtain. Were they purchased at a retail store, or were they custom made?
Really not my style, yet I love it!
Living Etc. feature worthy in my mind.
"Lovely use of dead animal skins." - yeah, yucky!
not getting a good color vibe here. i see orange, much of it in shag form.

Mystery Book Club: 'The Holy Thief'
Published on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - 9:54am
On Thursday, Aug. 2, the Cleveland Park Mystery Book Club will discuss William Ryan's The Holy Thief.
The first in a series featuring Captain Alexei Dmitriyevich Korolev of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Moscow Militia takes place in Moscow in 1936. Especially strong in sense of time and place, the Revolution is still young and Stalin's Great Terror is beginning. Old habits, difficult to unlearn, and guilt by association with purged authority figures can bring harsh punishment. The sense of place is especially harrowing as Korolev investigates a murder that crosses into the political crimes purview of the NKVD.
Visit Korolev's World at the author's website.
Readers intrigued by the interplay between "regular" and political crime investigation will be interested in J. Robert Janes's St.-Cyr/Kohler series set in Vichy France, featuring a French homicide detective and his German supervisor.
The Cleveland Park Mystery Book Club meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month, at Barnes & Noble, 12th and E streets, NW.

Two men, one woman, one momentous dare.
A Red Hot Winter story.
Serious and determined, Joseph Hudson isn't Australia's businessman of the year for nothing. So now he's asking himself, how did he get lost on the side of a mountain in the Colorado Rockies—in the middle of winter—with night fast approaching? Three simple words. I dare you.
Fear isn't in Rob Thorton's vocabulary. Life is for the taking, and Rob uses both hands. Challenging his best mate to take an impromptu snowboarding trip to the U.S. is just the latest in a lifetime of dares. Besides, he has an ulterior motive for the trip. And a plan…
Park Ranger Anna McCarthy knows what trouble looks like, and it's written all over the two Aussies she first encounters in the ski lodge. Instinct has her following them onto the mountain, and sure enough, they end up needing her winter survival expertise. But not even her skills can stop her body from responding to the sexy muscles she finds beneath their ski suits.
Stuck in a remote cabin until the storm passes, the temperatures rise until all bets are off. And a double dare turns into a triple threat—to their hearts.

Press Release
February 18, 2010
Janet Bass
301-502-5222 (Cell)
Statement by Randi Weingarten,
President, American Federation of Teachers,
On Health Insurers' Efforts To Raise Rates
(The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a report today showing numerous health insurance companies are attempting to raise their rates significantly.)
WASHINGTON—As Americans are doing everything possible to keep their jobs and their homes, health insurers again are proving they are tone-deaf and profit-hungry. Today's report, which shows numerous efforts by health insurers to hike rates by double-digit percentages, reinforces the urgent need for healthcare reform. All Americans need accessible, affordable, high-quality healthcare, and we need reform to stop health insurance companies from being part of the problem. The AFT, including its more than 70,000 healthcare professionals, will continue to fight for healthcare reform legislation that holds down costs but keeps quality and access high.
# # # #
The AFT represents more than 1.4 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

@ Betty: That would be amazing! I put it on my dropbox, I can give you access to that, am I allowed to share links via PM? It's two terrible quality webcam videos about two hours long each, that I'd like compressed into one 10 minute or so video, however fast it can be but still having the brushstrokes visible (like, not so fast that my hands just jump about).
@ Bonita: Were they complains of 'this has gotten too violent!' or were they complaining from the start, since there were Daleks in the, what, second episode? What's the point of Doctor Who if you don't feel like hiding behind the sofa occasionally! Kids are tougher than some people give them credit for, a little scifi violence doesn't twist them. How boring would it be if there was never any actual danger or consequence to anything? Good triumphs over evil, but it's hard, if it wasn't, what sort of message would that be? Worthwhile fights are rarely easy ones.
@ Dirk the Mod: 'Lo! First time I've seen a mod about. Are you the only one or is there a whole team that uses the mod account? Out of curiosity, are you paid staff, if you don't mind me asking? Are you (all) Tom Baker fans too?
Sorry about including links initially. Did I remove all of them or have I missed any, or put another one up somewhere without noticing? Is the way I've put pictures up now ok?
Latest three paintings. Do let me know if I should remove the one not DW related, or if there's a better place for me to put these! I couldn't see a fan art section.
I feel like I'm getting better at these with each one. I'm really proud of the latest two particularly.

A dolphin that appeared to be stuck in the Gowanus Canal in Brooklyn has died, authorities said.
The NYPD and marine mammal experts from the Riverhead Foundation responded to the scene.
Earlier in the evening, Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said that the mammal experts recommended waiting for the next high tide at 7:10 p.m. to see if the dolphin could free itself.
But by around 6 p.m. the dolphin appeared to beach itself on some rocks and lay motionless. Police put up yellow tape and asked crowds and reporters to move back.
Riverhead Foundation personnel soon confirmed that the animal had died.
It is not clear how long the dolphin had been in the canal, which is heavily polluted and has been designated a Superfund site by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The Gowanus Canal was originally built in 1869 as a transportation route for manufactured gas plants, mills, tanneries, and chemical plants in the Brooklyn neighborhoods of Gowanus, Park Slope, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, and Red Hook.
After more than a century of storm water runoff, sewer discharges, and industrial waste, the canal has become one of the most polluted bodies of water in the United States, the EPA said.
"Contaminants include PCBs, coal tar wastes, heavy metals and volatile organics," according to the EPA website.

CHATTANOOGA, TN (WRCB) -- Chattanooga Police are investigating the latest shooting in the city, this one a mid-morning drive-by in the 1800 block of Citico Avenue.
The victim, 21-year-old Jeremiah Hicks, was shot multiple times. He was transported to a local hospital, where he is listed in critical condition.
Police spokesman Nathan Hartwig said Hicks was standing on the sidewalk in front of 1813 Citico Avenue about 11:15 a.m. when a black car, possibly a Hyundai or Honda, pulled up and someone inside opened fire.
There were at least two people in car, however there is no other description from witnesses and neighbors.
Officers recovered at least ten casings but don't believe he was shot that many times.
Hartwig confirmed the victim does not live at 1813 Citico, and there is no indication why he was there.
The motive for the shooting is unclear at this time; officers are continuing to investigate.
Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call the Chattanooga Police Department at (423) 698-2525.
Bigom's sentence for the murder is life in prison; the additional four years is the abuse of a corpse.

The deep blue waters 20 miles off Islamorada looked more like Lake Atlantic than the ocean on a recent Saturday morning — perfect conditions for free-diving and spearing dolphin, wahoo, or tuna.
But the five-member crew on Santiago Alvarez's 35-foot Contender open-fisherman took measures to tilt the odds even more in their favor. They brought along several stout conventional fishing rods with trolling lures, along with chunks of chum and a well full of live pinfish.
"You can strike out very easily doing bluewater," said free diver Manny Menendez of South Miami, citing the necessity for angling precautions.
But far from striking out, the party — all members of South Florida Freedivers, a loosely organized club for breath-hold divers, spearfishers, and underwater photographers — managed to load the boat with 20 mahis up to 35 pounds.
Arriving at a patio-sized sargassum patch in about 1,200 feet of water, Raul Boesel deployed a couple of trolling rods with lures and hooked a small schoolie dolphin. As the fish thrashed around next to the boat, a legion of its aqua/green/yellow compatriots swarmed in.
Boesel tossed some chum in the water and dangled a flashy metallic teaser to keep the fish around while Alvarez, Menendez, and Eddie Coloma, Jr. jumped into the water with their spearguns — large Riffe models with up to three thick rubber bands loading the stainless steel spear shaft. The spears had 'slip tips', which when fired, turn on a right angle in the fish's body to hold it secure. Attached to the guns were reels holding 150 feet of line — except for one gun with no reel and a float line with a life-guard buoy attached to the spear shaft. The buoy creates drag so that a large speared fish can't free itself or dive to the bottom and the diver can simply pull it in hand over hand.
The spearfishermen gave most of the schoolies a pass because they were too small.
"Just midgets," Menendez called to Ed Coloma Sr., who was driving the boat.
However, about 50 feet away, 17-year-old Eddie Jr. spied a 'heavy-lifter' dolphin hanging back from the rest of the school. He shot it, and swam with it back to the boat — his first speared mahi.
He was roundly congratulated by the rest of the group.
"Santiago gave me a couple of pointers," he said. "When I watch, I learn."
With only sub-legal schoolies still in the vicinity, the divers decided to continue running and gunning offshore to look for more weed lines, along with floating debris and telltale frigate birds and sooty terns circling and diving.
A few miles away, they came upon a half-dozen terns hovering over patchy weeds. But instead of jumping into the water, the divers held back while Boesel cast a line baited with a live pinfish beneath the birds. He was rewarded with a mahi more than 25 pounds.
As he struggled with the fleeing fish, Alvarez, Menendez and Eddie Jr. dropped into the water to look for more targets. After a few minutes of searching with no luck, they swam back to the boat. Boesel was still fighting his fish.
Shrugging, Alvarez kicked over to the fish and shot it, shortening the battle considerably.
The rest of the expedition followed a similar pattern — motoring around looking for signs of fish, spearing large schoolies, but catching the largest fish of the day — nearly 35 pounds — on Boesel's rod and reel.
"Everywhere we jumped, we saw them," Menendez said. "The dolphin are spookier the bigger they are. The little ones will go all around you."
Spearguns, even large blue water models like the men were using, have their limitations. Their range is only about 10-15 feet.
Alvarez, 45, a skilled blue water hunter since childhood, can hold his breath for up to two minutes and hunts comfortably in waters 80 feet deep. His best catch is a 240-pound yellowfin tuna speared last March off Panama.
"The bigger the fish is, the closer you have to get because you have to penetrate more and they are going to pull quite hard," he said. "You gotta be super calm, super comfortable in the water. Try not to make a lot of bubbles when you dive. Keep your gear tucked in — not pointed at them and charging. It looks like a big billfish chasing them down."
Alvarez is so-so about wearing a camouflage wetsuit when spear hunting. But he's sold on super-long and light carbon-fiber fins and a low-volume mask.
By the middle of the afternoon, the crew had racked up 20 dolphin and headed back to Islamorada. They had taken the two largest fish on rod-and-reel while the smaller ones were speared. No one had any problem with the mixed strategy; they just didn't want to go home with an empty cooler.
"Today we had a combination," Menendez said. "We used the rods part of the time to hold the mahi and try to keep them around. We'd have one flopping around on the spear and his buddies hanging out, so in that way, it's like angling."
Boesel and Menendez documented the adventure with plenty of underwater video and stills — sure to be a big hit at the next South Florida Freedivers meeting.
