July 7-8, 2018
Dayton, Tennessee
Price: $350
Instructor: Randy Harris
This revolutionary class focuses on integrating the pistol into the fight at zero to five feet. This is what some trainers call "The Hole" and their entire perspective is to "Get Out Of The Hole". We don't worry about "getting out of the hole" because the reality of it is that you won't. Instead, we get comfortable in there...we set up a nice cozy camp there and learn to thrive where other men fear to walk. We make the other guy want to get out of the hole he finds himself in as we start to rip his head right off his shoulders. This will be a very thorough study on how to prevail and not get killed at this distance interval. We will do a great deal of technical work to ingrain the correct skills and then work them extensively via force on force exercises. You have never sen training and information like this before.
While I do want to make sure guys are in reasonable condition to handle this, you don't need to be a hard core athlete to do this. We will play hard. . . . but within reason for the attendees we normally have in class.
- Dealing against the drawn gun. What are all the options? We will look at everything from running away, to drawing and killing him, stabbing him with a knife, to disarming him and shooting him with his own gun.
- Dealing against the drawn knife. Both from "hold up" type situations to actual attacks. You will deal with them with the gun in hand (this one is really cool), and with empty hands, leading into a draw and shots as part of the fight.
- Dealing with a fight in hallways, elevators, phone booths and cars. All empty handed, and with one leading to the other.
- Dealing with more than one bad guy. How to position and maneuver to deny them the advantage, as well as how to immediately escalate and take them out. The combined use of various tools such as knife and gun, knife and light, light and gun, gun and stick. Not only the how, but the why as well.
These and other topics will make this one of the hottest classes available to civilian operators. This course requires prior attendance at an intermediate level Suarez International Pistol class.
CLASS AND RANGE DETAILS DURATION: 2 days TIME: 9:00AM to 5:00PM AMMUNITION: Approximately 250 rounds (Minimum) and 400 (Minimum) good quality biodegradable pellets. NO STEEL PELLETS. RANGE & GEAR REQUIREMENTS: Pistol, holster, at least two magazines, and the usual range safety gear (ear and eye protection). Bring an airsoft pistol with the necessary gear (pellets, facemask, etc. - all of it is available at http://www.onesourcetactical.com
Also Helpful
Bring spare clothing appropriate for the weather, including a hat, sunscreen, and bug repellent. Plan to bring lunch, snacks, and water (min 1 gallon per person) for the entire day unless driving to lunch is a viable option from the range location. Bring allergy medication (if needed), a chair (if you prefer), note taking supplies, and a boo boo kit (band aids, gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment and tape). You may wish to bring pads such as knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves if the class lends itself to that.

Foie Gras Toasts with Candied Hazelnuts
This canape has all the bases covered - rich, creamy, salty, crunchy, sweet - and it's a cinch to throw together.
- 1 small Mousse of Foie Gras
- 1 loaf raisin bread
- 1 cup of whole hazelnuts
- ½ cup honey
- Coarse sea salt
- Allow mousse to sit at room temperature for ½ hour to soften.
- Preheat a non-stick pan, over medium heat. Pan toast the nuts, gently moving them in the pan for even heat distribution. When hazelnuts are lightly browned, add honey. Evenly coat the nuts with the honey and continue to cook. The honey will bubble slightly and reduce, forming a nice caramel coating.
- Remove the nuts from the heat and season with salt. Pour onto a plate and allow hazelnuts to cool thoroughly. Coarsely chop or slightly crush the nuts.
- Thinly slice the bread on a slight bias, and toast if desired.
- Spread mousse of foie gras on bread slices. Sprinkle the top with the candied hazelnuts. Slice bread into smaller points, or to desired size. Garnish lightly with coarse salt to taste and serve.

Beginning in March 2012, MacArthur, in collaboration with the International Development Program and the Bernard Schwartz Forum on Constructive Capitalism at Johns Hopkins, hosted three roundtables on themes and trends in international development. Much of the Foundation's work abroad is impacted by development policies and challenges, including its efforts in conservation and sustainable development, population and reproductive health, and girls' secondary education in the developing world. The roundtables sought to explore the latest ideas about development and appropriate development strategies, with a focus on the causes of poverty, aid effectiveness in addressing poverty, and the politics of economic growth, among others.

By self contained I mean the ones that you have to put by the window. I'm wondering how long the pipe is, e.g. can the outlet get all the way out of the exterior window of an apartment, also, are they anywhere near as effective as the installed units with the external refrigeration units? I've been to two second hand stores in my town and just got quoted 480,000 all inclusive for a second hand 4 pyong installed type air conditioner! What a rip off! Any suggestions on where to buy an installed on self contained one welcome. If I can get something installed including an external cage for 3-350,000 that would be good.

If you are outside of Seoul, they may charge a bit more delivery. That is a price comparison site. It costs more if the tubing running outside of the window is a very long distance more than say 3 meters. They usually say how much per meter it will cost.Last edited by Swampfox10mm on Sat Apr 27, 2013 9:50 pm; edited 1 time in total Back to top Swampfox10mmJoined: 24 Mar 2011 Posted: Mon May 21, 2012 6:09 am Post subject: http://mw.auction.co.kr/MW/item/ViewItem.jsp?ItemID=A614811787&pc=589 There's just one example I found. Remember, you will be charged for a bracket if they need one to hang the fan outside of your apartment window. Also, if they need to cut a hole you'd better get approval from the landlord. They can snake pipes out of the window, but make sure you have a plan to cover that area with tape/plastic. Also, keep in mind any possible issues you might have with crime if you are low enough someone could get in there if the window remains slightly ajar due to the hose.

So that carrier you linked to...did it include any of the installation fee? I'm guessing the external cage I'm going to buy will cost, what, 50,000? Bloody expensive, when I camne here last time I managed to get one for 150,000 installed from a second hand place (unit was a bit dodgy and old though).

If the used one is acceptable to you in looks, then go for it. Make sure they don't arrive and try to tack more on to the price cuz then it's not a good deal. Yeah, many long time posters have left or been banned or moved on, I think. Times change. I also think people have to work more jobs just to live here and save money. Korea costs far more than it used to and it is hard to save. Less time for leisure.

Back to top LazioJoined: 15 Dec 2010 Posted: Wed May 30, 2012 4:39 am Post subject: Setting up an A/C is expensive. Usually they charge a basic fee + pipes by the meter + gas refill. The pipes are usually running for 15,000/meter and the gas refill is up to 50,000 and the basic fee can vary widely. Wife managed to find the cheapest guys who charged 20,000 basic fee and 10,000 for a meter of pipes and free gas refill as long as the tank is not completely empty. We needed 5 meters of pipe so it was 70,000. I bought the A/C from an expat for 40,000. It's a 6 pyeong LG and was just a little over a year old when I bought it. Second hand stores are ripping off people. Try to get a used one from a private seller. Check korean sites. Delivery shouldn't cost much as it fits in a taxi so 20,000 will get you very far. Those window units (if we are talking about the same ones) are pretty good too. http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=242115361&pos_shop_cd=EN&pos_class_cd=90000003&pos_class_kind=T A 4-5 pyeong unit is plenty enough to a studio apartment or one bedroom. They cool twice that big area easily. They are cheap to run and you don't need to pay for setting it up. Only downside is that they are a bit noisy.

From election reform to tougher ethics laws to retooling the campaign finance system, the Florida Legislature will spend much of this legislative session undoing many of the problems it has helped cause in recent years.
Almost no piece of legislation epitomizes that sentiment more than HB 7059, the hurried push to repeal a 2012 law that forced foreign tourists to obtain an International Driver's Permit.
On Tuesday, the Florida House moved forward on repealing the law — which has caused near-pandemonium among Canadian tourists — in an attempt to fast-track it to Gov. Rick Scott's desk before any further damage.
"Oftentimes when we pass legislation, we don't really understand how we could have some unintended consequences, with it," said Rep. Daniel Davis, a Jacksonville Republican who is behind the repeal effort. "In this case we need to repeal some legislation because it, in effect, has hurt our tourism industry."

Gov. Rick Scott indicated he was ready to sign the repeal at once, stating that the original law he signed last year "made no sense."
Canadian tourists mobilized in opposition when they learned of the 2012 law, which required them to get a new license before they could drive in Florida. Traditionally, drivers from Canada and other countries could use their licenses from their home country when visiting the Sunshine State. Lawmakers toughened the statutes in 2012 after concern that some of those licenses were not written in English, but didn't foresee all the problems that would ensue when the law went into effect on Jan. 1.
After Canadian journalists wrote about the new requirement, frustrated snowbirds from Toronto and Quebec began calling lawmakers and scrambling to get the new permit, which costs $25 and is valid for a maximum of one year.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said in February it would not enforce the law because it likely violated an international treaty of the Geneva Convention. And even as state officials asked law enforcement officials to ignore the new law, some agencies did not get the message.
"Just this past weekend we received word that a tourist was stopped, a Canadian tourist, in Sarasota," said Karen MacFarland, who lobbies for the American Auto Association. "He didn't have an IDP. He received a fine for $268 and was not allowed to leave until he paid that fine."
The number of Canadian tourists visiting Florida each year has increased from 1.2 million in 2002 to 3.6 million in 2012, making Canada far and away the top market for Florida's international tourism efforts.
The 14 million vacationers who visit Florida from Canada and other countries spend billions of dollars each year — much of it in South Florida — and lawmakers realized quickly that upsetting them with a new driver's license law probably wasn't a good idea.
It's one of several measures that lawmakers are seeking to overturn or walk back since 2010 when the Republican supermajority took the helms of the Legislature in a conservative wave election.
"No body of politic is perfect," said Davis. "Whenever we do have unintended consequences or even do make mistakes, we need to make sure we own up to it and address it and make it right."

If you've ever wanted to take the plunge into Windows Phone 7 (and you should!) Microsoft is selling the HTC Trophy, HTC Arrive and HTC HD7 for only $0.01 (with new 2-year contract). That's right, one penny.
It's a little bit interesting that Microsoft is pulling this deal (Amazon does these sorta penny deals occasionally) and how they're leaving out AT&T from the mix. The Trophy is Verizon, Arrive is Sprint and HD7 is T-Mobile. With Mango coming along, this is pretty much a steal. [Microsoft via BGR]

NL Capsules
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Andrew Cashner carried a perfect game into the seventh inning and faced the minimum 27 batters in a one-hitter that sent San Diego Padres past the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 on Monday.
Cashner (10-8) retired his first 18 batters before Jose Tabata grounded a clean single into right field leading off the seventh. Tabata was erased when Andrew McCutchen grounded into an inning-ending double play, and the right-hander cruised the rest of the way for his first complete game in 31 career starts.
Cashner struck out seven and did not walk a batter.
The Pirates lost for the second time in eight games but remained tied for first place in the NL Central with the St. Louis Cardinals, who lost at Colorado.PHILLIES 12, MARLINS 2
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Cliff Lee had three hits, knocked in a career-high four runs and struck out a season-high 14 to lead the Phillies to a win over the Marlins.
Lee (14-6) stroked a two-run, bases-loaded single to cap off a six-run third inning and also hit his first career triple in the fifth. Chase Utley, who also drove in four runs, hit a long three-run homer in the third.
On the mound, Lee allowed two runs while scattering eight hits and walking none, at one point retiring 11 straight en route to winning his fourth consecutive decision. He is 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA in his last six starts and 5-1 with a 2.29 lifetime ERA against Miami.
Philadelphia has won six in a row over Miami.
In his first major-league start, Sam Dyson (0-1) allowed seven runs.
DENVER (AP) — Todd Helton started his final homestand with a key single in the eighth inning as the Rockies beat the Cardinals.
Charlie Blackmon had three hits and drove in three runs for the Rockies, who prevented the Cardinals from taking over sole possession of first place in the NL Central. They remained tied with the Pittsburgh Pirates, who lost 2-0 to San Diego.
Matt Carpenter and Matt Adams had two hits each for the Cardinals.
Helton was playing in front of Colorado fans for the first time since he announced his plans to retire at the end of the season, his 17th. He received a standing ovation when he came to the plate in the first, and Cardinals starter Lance Lynn stood behind the mound and waited as the crowd saluted Helton.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Caleb Gindl had three hits, including a two-run home run, as Wily Peralta pitched six strong innings to lead the Brewers to a win over the Cubs.
The Brewers' fourth win in five games moved them 3½ games above Chicago at the bottom of the NL Central.
Peralta (10-15) gave up an unearned run on five hits. He struck out seven while walking two.
Edwin Jackson (8-16) lasted only four innings for the Cubs, giving up two runs on two hits and three walks. Jackson has the most losses of any pitcher in the NL. Peralta is second with 15.
PHOENIX (AP) — Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run home run in the first inning and Trevor Cahill and three relievers made it stand up in Arizona's win over Los Angeles.
Goldschmidt raised his NL-leading RBI total to 116 with his 33rd home run off Dodgers starter Ryu Hyun-jin (13-7). Goldschmidt has homered in each of his last two games after an 83 at-bat drought.
With Los Angeles' fourth loss in a row and the Diamondbacks third straight win, the Dodgers' magic number to clinch the NL West remains four.
Ryu (13-7) went the distance for his second complete game, allowing only the two runs on two hits in eight innings. He walked one, struck out four and retired 23 of the final 24 batters he faced.
Cahill (7-10) won for the fourth straight decision, holding Los Angeles to one run on two hits over 5 2-3 innings.

The name Rose Tarlow evokes an image of quality, impeccable taste, uniqueness, patina. Hugely influential, Tarlow sets the bar very, very high; the furniture she designs for the eponymous Rose Tarlow/Melrose House is unquestionably the best on the market today. Many of her designs are based on antiques she once owned, or perhaps glimpsed in an old book. The craftsmanship is beyond compare. Her fabric line was one of the first that featured textiles that looked old and soft, with muted colors and patterns that disappeared as if the sun had faded this one spot and that. Tarlow, the woman behind the name, is a mystery, an enigma even to those personally familiar with her. She is not a well known interior designer, though there are probably only two or three designers in her league. She calls herself an antique seller, but mostly she now sells reproductions. Antiques are her heart, yet some of her better known commissions have been contemporary. She started her career in the antiques business over 30 years ago with a small shop on Melrose in Los Angeles. She says she was embarrassed to admit to her colleagues that she was taking up design. She could have had the biggest career in that business - had she wanted it or sought it out. Instead she hid from it, refusing to play the games that go with the job. A solitary person who prefers to shop alone, the client just gets in her way. She is a perfectionist who obsesses over every detail of a project until it is right in her mind alone - a trait the client must be aware of to give her the space she needs. A job may take five years, perfection never comes easy. In contrast, building her own house went by quickly. Of course there were no indecisive clients to slow down the process. "I hate dealing with clients, so when I do work, I prefer to work with friends." Oh, the few she has agreed to work with are the lucky ones.
Miss Tarlow: very, very few in the world of interior design are her equal.
In 15 years, Tarlow says, she had 5 clients, such is the level of her involvement and commitment to the work. Not many can claim her, which only adds to the mystique. She is more famous for the jobs she has turned down: "I never take a job unless it intrigues me." And there is this: "I need to buy furniture and I only ever take on a design project if it's one that's going to allow me to buy furniture that I'm interested in buying." There are no flashy spreads year after year in design magazines. Most of her work has never been seen by the public. Her own house is her biggest advertisement, but one could never expect her to repeat such uniqueness.
Her discerning eye is what sets her apart. She doesn't see like the average person. She drinks in beauty as if her body craves it for nourishment. "I try to hide from things that are not good for my eye, I only see what pleases me." A friend of Tarlow's said "I admire her enormously, though, because she has one of the most incredible eyes for beauty that I've ever seen." The friend recalls a trip to a Mississippi casino where Tarlow refused to stay, "it's just so ugly and the lighting is so hideous. I just can't be in an environment like that." She finds beauty and inspiration in nature, in dusty antique shops, at a dump site. Objects speak to her, furniture especially, and more specifically - furniture made of wood. "Wood is my favorite thing. Someone said I must have been a tree in another life," she told Mitchell Owens.
Her book, The Private House, was written without a ghostwriter and took eight years to finish. Filled with fascinating stories of her youth, these tales are surprising revelations, clues into what shaped Tarlow into the force she is today. Still, it's hard to imagine her as an innocent child, she is so focused and knowledgeable, her aesthetic is so unique. Working with her, under her, for her, must be more rewarding than an Oxford education. Her opinions are laced throughout the book becoming edicts to follow. One story she retells illustrates her steely determination:
"I have always had a passion for 18th century wallpapers which are difficult to find. Many years ago, based on my research into rare Chinese papers, I commissioned an artist to hand paint wallpaper panels for my dining room. When the work was finally finished, the room was breathtaking.
The first evening after it was completed, we all sat for hours admiring the walls, but I could not wait to be alone there. Later than night, when the family was asleep, I went back down, took fine sandpaper, fine steel wool, a stepladder and all of my nerve and proceeded to soften the newness of the paper by removing some of the design. I worked slowly and carefully for hours and succeeded in completing only a small section. I was pleased with the results. In the morning, my husband came downstairs and was horrified. I explained that the work had just begun, that it needed to be done, the newness of the walls was intruding on the room."
Years later, that same wallpaper appeared again in her life. It had been removed from her long-since sold house and a panel was taken to an auction house who were convinced the paper was terribly old and valuable. Her opinion was sought out on its provenance.
The new Rose Tarlow/Melrose House is a delight. Its architect, Mark Appleton, designed the building in partnership with Tarlow.
Everyone who reads The Private House takes something different from it; advice that Tarlow casually mentions will become ingrained in their own design process. My personal nugget is Tarlow's view on overhead ceiling lights:
"Having too many recessed lights overhead can destroy a perfectly good ceiling and give any room a disturbingly commercial appearance. While we have rather successfully combated the cottage cheese ceiling, be aware of the Swiss cheese ceiling. An abundance of ceiling lights should be limited to kitchens, laundry room, and shoe shops."
I had just installed a house full of recessed lights a few years before her book came out and her words stung, my ceilings became my enemy. I never turned on those recessed lights again, instead I use an assortment of sconces and lamps, and now lanterns. The Private House is filled with ideas and strong opinions like this. And rarely, will you disagree with Tarlow. When she tells you to mix plain dirt in your plaster, you know you can trust her. She doesn't advise or lecture you to do things she hasn't personally done herself.
The new Rose Tarlow/Melrose House, designed by Mark Appleton. Tarlow started her career on Melrose and has never let the street – she just moves down a few doors every decade or so.
Tarlow's style, if you could define her taste level so simply, is more like her essence, her creed, her heart. She IS her aesthetic. She surrounds herself with what she loves, what she finds beautiful. Nothing in her life mars her vision. "Quality is crucial, right down to the paper towels. Everything you live with should be wonderful, not expensive, just good." She finds beauty in odd places – construction sites hold appeal. The lesson though is not to emulate her, but instead find your own simple, interesting object to love. "My only rule is that nothing adorn my life that is not precious to me. I must respect its shape, color, meaning, and quality. An object added for effect instead of affection will always look like an affectation." She prefers to use many shades of one color throughout a house, while accents of brighter colors comes from objects like antique fabric, a rug, a box. She advises using a neutral canvas – "use color like jewelry, provocatively." In her book, written so many years ago, she was obsessed with the color green, a lasting effect from a trip to Ireland. Bright pops of green are found throughout the images. It would be interesting to know if she is still as connected to that color, or is there one that has replaced it now?
Tarlow is the consummate perfectionist. "Don't try to be different, just be excellent." This attitude, the striving for perfection, is seen on each page, in each story she shares with her readers, many of which are quite humorous. She is surprisingly quite funny in her book – her stories are told with a dry wit. Much of The Private House recounts the story of her own house, one of her greatest creations. It was imagined as "an Old Californian with strong European influences." Most elements are ancient, wood used inside is so old, it is almost petrified. The house has oak beams from an 11th century church in England, there is 18th century boiserie from France. The floors in her study are from the 17th century. A set of four 18th century French oak doors distinguish the main living area. The hardware,, of course is all old. Obviously, the house is a masterpiece. It was designed by Tarlow at a time when she was single and able to do with it exactly as she wanted. Soon after, she became involved in a relationship which she acknowledges would have produced a different house. It is said another book is in the works about a house she is working on in Provence, I wait for it anxiously.
Last year, Melrose House moved to a new location designed by Tarlow and Mark Appleton. These days, she mostly designs furniture for her company, freed from the daily grind of running the company after selling a large portion of it. Tarlow is now the Creative Director and not surprisingly, the sole designer. Melrose House is her lasting legacy to design.
Inside the new Rose Tarlow/Melrose House. Immediately, the library stairs catch my eye.
Recently I was approached by Tarlow's PR agent, who lured me with the promise of high resolution images from The Private House, bait that only the strongest blogger could resist! These images aren't new, but the thought of having these quality photographs in my computer, and yours, forever, was too good of a dream to pass up. I've added more images taken from Melrose House's web site, where there is a great collection of press clippings all in PDF form. Naturally, her web site is perfection. Few in the business even realize the importance of good, high quality PDF copies of past magazines articles – saved for eternity on the world wide web. If Rose Tarlow is a new name to you, I highly suggest The Private House. It's a short and easy read, yet the priceless information contained within its pages is worth more than four years at a design school, unless you are lucky enough to have Rose Tarlow as your professor.
Rose Tarlow's London Residence.
My first awareness of Rose Tarlow came from a 1989 Architectural Digest article that featured her London townhouse, above. I became an immediate and slightly obsessed fan. The residence has not changed since that time. I'm sure things have been updated, like upholstery, but the main design and furniture remains. Why tinker with perfection? That tea table (notice its knees), that screen (notice the patina!)
Another image from London. Notice the wonderful book table and antique chair. Tarlow loves quirky or unusual pieces – where either the proportions are exaggerated, or the wood has a beautiful patina.
Los Angeles
Los Angeles: The house that Rose built. Notice the beauty in the simplicity: plaster walls have unreinforced corners which crumble easily creating a rustic ruin effect. The walls she says "look like they were carved from butter with a knife." Tarlow allows her look is "masculine" and yes, there are few frilly elements here.
A close up of the plaster, iron and wood staircase.
The view from the living room into the staircase room. A bamboo ladder holds newspapers.
A picture taken from the pages of Architectural Digest, 1991: Notice the beautiful antique beamed ceiling and the pair of oak doors. This room has two fireplaces, one at each end, and two sets of bookcases on each side. The vines are encouraged to crawl up through the 18th century French doors. Originally the house was three rooms only, all one after another – her bedroom, the great room, the kitchen. Later, she turned her kitchen into a dining room and built a large kitchen/eating area beyond the dining room. Above this, two guest rooms were also added.
Of her house, she told Architectural Digest: "I was trying to prove to myself that you can create an ageless house just as I try to design furniture that has a period flavor but with its own unique personality. Every attempt I have seen to make new houses look old has failed, so I considered remodeling the existing house on the site. But after a week the contractor told me that it made no sense to try, and I tore it down."
Looking towards the other side of the great room – with its own fireplace. Above the fireplace is a Jean Cocteau.
And again, the same view from 1991, Architectural Digest. The fireplace is 17th century, the art work is Jean Cocteau.
Looking the opposite way at the other fireplace. There are four sets of matching antique doors that lead off this room. There are two large bookcases built in between the French doors on each side of the room.
From Architectural Digest, 1991, a view of the desk that divides the room into two seating areas.
Across the room is another bookcase. Library stairs stand in front. Pictured on the right is an antique Knole sofa.
Close up of another bookcase. In front is a second original 1880 velvet Knole sofa.
This sofa is now for sale at Obsolete on 1st Dibs HERE. Interestingly, it was once used as a prop in a Helmut Newton photograph. Notice the gorgeous silk appliques.
Looking through the doors into the bedroom with its French boiserie. Beautiful vellum books are everywhere.
And, a close-up of the wood cart pictured above. Notice the reeding on the legs. Just beautiful.
This glorious 1780 dugout chair is typical of the type of antique that Tarlow is drawn to.
Another unusual and unique antique chair that epitomizes Tarlow's style.
The dining room is off the main living room. Antique leather Spanish chairs surround the table. The large 18th century Welsh dresser holds a collection of treen and pewter. The large wood mortar is filled with tole leaves.
A close up of Tarlow's amazing collection of treen and pewter plates and 1920s French porcelain square plates.
Past the dining room is the large eat in kitchen. The wing chair is 18th century while the wood chair is 17th century French.
Close-up of the rare and beautiful Louis XIII armoire in the kitchen.
In her study upstairs, a wooden staircase found in a Paris flea market reaches the sleeping loft.
Tarlow paints watercolors in her upstairs study. I love all her bookstands and lecterns. In a shameless act of copying her, for years I searched for one for my own house.
The powder room features a 17th century needlepoint mirror and a wooden sink! Amazing!!
The second guest room features a charming pull out canopy bed.
The sitting area of the guest room.
Rose Tarlow's bedroom is wall to wall antique French boiserie. The only piece of furniture in the house designed by Tarlow is her canopy bed. This room is so authentic, it defies belief that it is in the middle of Los Angeles rather than in a 18th century mas in France. Notice the floor – so gorgeous. I love how low she has hung the chandelier in the alcove – perfect – as is everything she does. This room is the most feminine area in the house as it should be! Even the sofa's arms are sensuously curved.
A close-up of the fireplace and paneling in the master bedroom.
The pool was placed as it might have been found in nature. The pool house's old slate roof was brought over from England.
Rose Tarlow/Melrose House:
For those on the design blogosphere, one of Rose Tarlow/Melrose House's most well known pieces of furniture is the Nantucket side table. I'm sure you will recognize it from the bedroom in Something's Gotta Give. Over the years, so many people have asked either Linda Merrill or myself – where can I buy that table? It is slightly gorgeous, no? Things That Inspire wrote a wonderful piece on this table HERE.
The famous Something's Gotta Give bedroom with the Melrose House table.
Cote de Texas and Rose Tarlow/Melrose House:
Many years ago, on one of my first big jobs, I designed a bedroom for a client using this Rose Tarlow fabric. On the walls, I placed the matching wallpaper, and most of furniture wore this fabric, save for the skirted table which was a Rose Tarlow plaid. Recently I discovered a few pictures of that room filed away in a drawer:
The headboard was tufted and upholstered in the Calais fabric as was the duvet and dust ruffle. The walls were papered in the matching pattern. The skirted table is a Rose Tarlow plaid. The carpet was a cream colored flat weave with a small dot of the darker ming blue.
The bedroom is located in a high rise apartment overlooking Uptown Park in Houston. The sun is treacherous up there, so the windows were covered in blackout lined curtains, made of course in the Rose Tarlow Calais fabric.
In another client's house – I used this Rose Tarlow/Melrose House tea table. But I believe this table may now be discontinued – it isn't on the web site.
The Rose Tarlow/Melrose House Sophia Chair is another much beloved and copied piece in the collection. The lines and proportions are beyond beautiful.
Imitation - the sincerest form of flattery? For this client, I used the Sophia chair as an inspiration – in order to save time, I had it made in Houston. Although the chair looks very similar, you can see that Tarlow's exaggerated proportions were out of the abilities of the upholsterer – the copy is not quite as tall, the arms not quite as gracefully thin. To do it over again, I would have ordered the Tarlow chair instead of trying to copy it, although I do think the chair is beautiful as is.
Last December, The Peak of Chic asked Rose Tarlow what are her favorite books – to read her list, go HERE.

Congo warlord Bosco Ntaganda remains at US Embassy
KIGALI, Rwanda (AP) -- Wanted on an international warrant for alleged war crimes, Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda lived openly in Congo for years, playing tennis at exclusive clubs and dining at lakeside restaurants in full view of foreign diplomats and U.N. peacekeepers.
That all ended when the 39-year-old known as "The Terminator" suddenly turned himself in Monday to the U.S. Embassy in Rwanda and asked to be handed over to the International Criminal Court -- a surprise move that followed a split in Ntaganda's rebel group and apparent loss of support from his backers in the Rwandan government.
"My best guess is that his options came down to go to The Hague or be killed," Tony Gambino, the former director of USAID in Congo, said of the about-face by Ntaganda, one of Africa's most-wanted men.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday that Ntaganda would remain at the U.S. Embassy in Kigali while U.S. officials worked to "facilitate his transfer to The Hague at his own request."
Noting that Rwanda's Justice Ministry had promised safe passage, she said, "now it's a matter of working out the modalities, and that's going to take a little time."
Ntaganda, an ethnic Tutsi, was first indicted in 2006 by the ICC for allegedly building an army of child soldiers during a 2002-2003 conflict in Congo's eastern Ituri province. A second arrest warrant issued last July accused him of a range of crimes, including murder, rape, sexual slavery and pillaging.
Those who until recently fought alongside him say that Ntaganda fled Congo over the weekend after his men lost a key battle against fighters who split off last month from his M23 rebel movement.
Ntaganda was long believed to have been backed by Rwanda, which provided financial and logistical support to the ethnic Tutsi rebels he commanded in Congo's mineral-rich east.
After the rebels seized the Congolese city of Goma in November, U.N. investigators issued a day-by-day outline of the invasion, detailing how Rwanda equipped, trained, advised, reinforced and directly commanded the rebellion, including sending four companies from Rwanda's 305th brigade across the border to conduct operations.
Rwanda has fiercely denied the accusations, but several countries including the United States and Britain cut off aid to Congo's smaller, but more developed neighbor as a result.
Ntaganda became more vulnerable last month when the M23 split into two camps over the decision to bow to international pressure and withdraw from Goma late last year.
Ntaganda and another rebel leader, Jean-Marie Runiga, had opposed any pullout, but a rebel general, Sultani Makenga, ordered a retreat and initiated peace talks with the Congo government.
After entering Rwanda in the pre-dawn hours Saturday, Ntaganda tried to reach out to his backers in the Rwandan army, said Stanislas Baleke, a political official in the M23 movement who has links to Ntaganda. "But once he was in Rwanda they told him they could not guarantee his security," Baleke said.
Ntaganda was then told by his Rwandan contacts to go to the U.S. Embassy, he said, noting that the United States is not a member of the International Criminal Court and has no obligation to hand Ntaganda over to the court.
Nuland said the U.S. had no prior contact with Ntaganda or advance notice that he would turn up at the embassy. "It was a walk-in in the truest sense of the word," she said.
She declined to say why he chose the U.S. Embassy or whether he may have feared for his safety.
"I'm going to let him speak to his motives," she said. "He has now asked to go The Hague. That's a good thing we're trying to facilitate."
Gouby reported from Goma, Congo. Associated Press writers Rukmini Callimachi in Dakar, Michelle Faul in Johannesburg and Bradley Klapper in Washington contributed to this report.

Heinz Rosenberg
Born: September 15, 1921
Goettingen, Germany
Heinz was the youngest of three children born to a Jewish family in the German university city of Goettingen. His father owned a linen factory that had been in the family since it was founded by Heinz's grandfather. Goettingen had a small Jewish population, and only one synagogue. Heinz went to public school in the city.
1933-39: In 1933 the Nazis took power in Germany. A year later our factory was seized. Three SA men came to our house. An officer set a gun on the table and calmly informed my father that if we did not leave in a week, "You and your furniture will be thrown out the window." Within a month we moved to Hamburg. Nazi edicts prohibited me from going to school, so I worked several jobs. I was also recruited by the Nazis as a forced laborer.
1940-44: In 1941 I was forced with my family to sign a paper stating that, as a Jew, I was being deported as an enemy of the state. We were told we'd be going to work in the east. Many felt that it wouldn't be so bad, and we'd return home soon. We boarded a train and after four days arrived in Minsk, Soviet Union. Leaving the train, I saw guards throwing loaves of bread into open cattle cars full of Soviet POWs. As the starving men fought over the food, German guards shot at them. I then realized we were never going to return.
Heinz was in the Minsk ghetto until 1943. Over the next two years he was sent to 11 Nazi camps. He was one of the few survivors of the tens of thousands in the Minsk ghetto.

Singer Rita Ora has apologized to fans after accidentally flashing her breast during a performance in London on Wednesday night.
The star raced between two shows in the British capital on the back of a motorcycle to perform as part of the Red Bull Culture Clash event.
She took to the stage at Wembley Arena in white biker leathers with the zip pulled down to expose her cleavage, but her energetic dance routine resulted in an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, and she exposed her breast to the audience.
The star has now told fans she feels mortified over the nipple slip, writing in a post on Twitter.com, "Yes. It's true. I got straight off a moterbike (sic) from O2 to Wembley I didn't have time to change and then all of a sudden the zip got lower… And lower. I rushed on stage and pop! It happened, f—! Sorry guys. (How embarrassing) apologized! Dispite (sic) that, amazing show!"

Today I finished resourcing the family of Isaac C BOVARD. That made 24 new source citations and 24 organized digital images. I have 2 more families to resource and 44 images (either from those families or ones that I missed). I also finished 1890 in my Vevay Newspaper Index and posted it online.
Here are my standings in the Winter 2010 GeneaBlogger Games:
1. Go Back and Cite Your Sources - adding 24 to my total of 34 gives me 58 citatons and a Platinum Medal! (I think I'm going to go for Double Platinum in this event.)
2. Back Up Your Data - still have a Gold Medal.
3. Organize Your Research - 19 digital files plus the 24 today gives me 43. That gives me a Silver Medal for 2 tasks complete (B and E). I wonder if I can count doing the same task twice? Then I could have a gold medal.
4. Expand Your Knowledge - Did not compete yet
5. Write, Write, Write! - Did not compete yet
6. Reach Out and Perform Genealogical Acts of Kindness - did more indexing, but no new task today, still have Silver Medal. I need the snow to melt so that I can take a gravestone photo, but more is in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Might just need to wear some boots and suck it up!
Medal totals:
2 Silver Medals
1 Gold Medal

2 Americans, 1 Swede share Crafoord science prize for arthritis research

STOCKHOLM – Two Americans and a Swede have won this year's Crafoord Prize, a 4 million kronor ($600,000) scientific award given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to honor achievements not always covered by its more famous Nobel Prizes.
Peter Gregersen of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research near New York, Robert Winchester of Columbia University and Lars Klareskog of Stockholm's Karolinska institute were cited for discoveries related to rheumatoid arthritis.
The academy said Thursday that the three scientists, who will share the award, "contributed to a basic understanding of how the most common and serious form of rheumatoid arthritis develops."
Named after Holger Crafoord, the Swede who designed the first artificial kidney, the award has been given annually since 1982.

Confidence in dating is good. However, when it comes to online dating, being overly confident can be deadly. As a NYC matchmaker, I discourage my clients from believing that people have to accept them as they are. That is just plain cocky. If you have a face and body like Angelina Joie or Brad Pitt, you can probably prove me wrong. But everyone else, those of us who are mere mortals, can probably do a few things to bring out our inner "hotties." After all, why should a perfect stranger be expected to accept you as you are if you are not presenting yourself at your best? The fact is, in the world of online matchmaking you' re not giving anyone the benefit of getting to know you or accepting you unless they can first be attracted or intrigued by you.
Many Hollywood celebrities are basically just "us" with a bit of polish added. Without mentioning names, there are those that would go unnoticed without a bit of hair, makeup, clothes, and lighting. Lighting is especially important for mere mortals. It brings out charms that we never thought we had. In New York City you can find photographers who do headshots for about $100. If you want to know where they are, ask any struggling actor or actress. OK, so here is where being confident is important in online dating. One has to go for it. If you are looking for a prince or princess, then have the courage to dress like one. Take a risk, stand out. Find a stylish look and bring it with you to your photo shoot. The law of attraction basically says that like attracts like. That is, tasteful will usually attract tasteful, sporty will attract sporty and so on.
Trust me, the "you" with a bit of polish is still you. It is the you that is shrewd. We all have flaws and insecurities, but they don't fully tell our whole story. Some may want to broadcast them upfront so that they might not be rejected later. That idea sounds good on paper, but in real life, "it isn't necessarily so!" The same singles who send me pictures of themselves with comb-overs and dumpy outfits are the ones who chose attractive singles who took the time to present themselves in the best light. They seldom pick their dumpy unkempt counterpart. When I email their photos to these well-put-together singles, some politely decline while others emphatically refuse as if insulted. So take a solemn vow to never present anyone with less than you desire for yourself when online dating. Overconfidence without true merit! Yikes.

Missouri ranks No. 30 among bicycle-friendly states, according to the latest rankings released by the League of American Bicyclists.
Missouri ranks No. 30 among bicycle-friendly states, according to the latest rankings released by the League of American Bicyclists.
The league released its sixth annual assessment this month, which marks National Bike Month.
While Missouri was ranked 30th overall, it ranked No. 6 in the Midwest.
Missouri's rankings were based on a number of key indicators, including infrastructure and funding that provide on-the-ground bicycle facilities, education and encouragement programs that promote cycling, and passage and enforcement of bicycle-friendly laws that make it safe and comfortable for people of all ages to ride.
The year's ranking of 30th is the lowest ranking Missouri has received in the six years of the assessment.
In 2008, the first year of rankings by the league, the state ranked 28th overall. In 2009, it rose to 17th place, but in 2010, it went back down to 28th place again. In 2011, Missouri ranked 26th and last year, the state ranked 28th.
Each state was ranked in the five evaluation categories. Below is how Missouri fared in each category, with five being the highest and one being the lowest:
• Legislation and enforcement — 2
• Policies and programs — 2
• Infrastructure and funding — 2
• Education and encouragement — 3
• Evaluation and planning — 1
The assessment also includes recommendations for Missouri. Among them are the following:
• Remove current restrictions on state transportation funds that disallow funding of bicycle facilities,
• Adopt and implement Complete Streets policies,
• Adopt a statewide bicycle plan, and
• Adopt statewide and local laws making it unlawful to harass, taunt or throw objects at bicyclists.
"Most of the recommendations in the report can easily be adopted by cities, metro planning organizations, or statewide — and these are things that really improve our cities and neighborhoods for bicycling," said Brent Hugh, Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation executive director.
Throughout the year, league staff will work actively with state officials and advocacy leaders to help Missouri identify and implement the programs, policies and campaigns that will improve conditions for bicyclists.
"We're seeing more people bicycling in Missouri than ever before," said Hugh, "and both cities and state agencies like MoDOT are gradually working to improve conditions for bicycling. But frankly, we've got to step up our game. Other states are improving faster than we are."
