THE INSTITUTE OF TEXAN CULTURES ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM FOLKLIFE FESTIVAL INTERVIEW WITH: Donald Ross DATE: August 5, 1989 PLACE: INTERVIEWER: Oral History Office, ITC Esther MacMillan M: [State District Judge Donald Ross] The subject today is Sacred Harp Singing. [There follows a brief recording of Sacred Harp singing taped at the meeting in MacMahan on April 29, 1989.] Sacred Harp music is a form of music that is of late becoming very ... I wouldn't say popular but known, at least, and people are showing a great interest in it. I had the wonderful experience of going to MacMahan in April of this year at the Primitive Baptist Church. They were having a singing there and it was one of the most interesting experiences I have ever had in my life. One of the important things to me was "dinner on the ground" which we will talk about later. The thing is, that I want to get on this tape, in depth, about this. There are so many conflicting things told to me. When I ask questions, I get ..• now for instance the name .•. Sacred Harp Singing. I asked somebody over at MacMahan and he looked up heavenward and said something about the angels. Well then, I've heard that it's ROSS 2 M: a four string harp. What's the real answer to why it's called Sacred Harp singing? R: Because that is the name of the book from which we sing The Sacred Harp Song Book. And it was just one of many shaped-note tune books that were published back during the first half of the last century. There were a number of song books published during that period of time that had the name harp to it. There was a thespian harp; there was the harp of Columbia; there was the sacred harp; and a number of others. Harp was a word that was used synonomously with the voice. It also the closest thing that we have to the use of that word today is when we talk about harping on something. M: Oh yeah. That's interesting. R: It gives an emphasis or accent to something. And that's the same use that it had when it was first used in connection with shaped-note song books back in the first half of the last century. M: It's got nothing to do with harps of angels or four stringed harp? R: No. Nothing whatsoever. M: I tried to think 'What's a four string harp?' R: No, it has nothing to do with an instrument of any kind. M: This perhaps is not apropos right now, but when Mary and I came in, we sat in the very back row and we reached for a song book. There were no song books. You take them all home, don't you? ROSS R: That's right. Each Sacred Harp singer has his own book. But usually you can purchase a book at any Sacred Harp sing ... they're usually for sale. 3 M: But they're not there for the public to use, there in the pews, like most churches. R: No. M: While I'm on this subject •.. this is something that interested me. This was the Primitive Baptist Church. In Henderson, you are the Methodist Church over there. R: We sing in the Community Center. There's not a church big enough for our singing in Henderson so we sing in the Community Center. We happen to belong to the Methodist Church. That's correct. M: Somewhere it said, some article, said Methodist church. So it is not a particular denomination. R: No, it never has belonged to any particular denomination. It's entirely ecuminical. It's never belonged to anyone denomination; it's interfaith. M: Is it just Protestant? Mostly? R: Yes, I would have to say so. We would not exclude Catholics if they wanted to sing. M: If they wanted to come. R: Yes. M: The thing that interested me was I didn't know ... here we came along this lovely country road and all of a sudden we're at the Primitive Baptist Church, MacMahan. I was so inte rested; the church is a simple little wooden church, no stained glass windows in that church, curtains at the 4 ROSS 4 M: windows. No altar, no organ, no piano, no adornments, nothing. Just the pews. So apparently the Primitive Baptists exclude any trimmings, anything, just plain church. Is that right? R: I can't speak for them. I suspect that that's correct; that's true but I'd rather not ••. I don't know for sure. M: But anyway, you chose that particular church because it was a good gathering point? R: No. That particular church has a history of Sacred Harp Singing. It's the home base for the Southwest Texas Sacred Harp Singing Convention. M: And you're the other one in Henderson . R: The East Texas Sacred Harp Singing Convention. M: We had planned to come to Henderson in the first place and then found it was such a long drive from here, a friend of mine was going to drive, and it meant we'd have to stay overnight. And then we found out about MacMahan. That was much simpler and it worked out just fine and I wouldn't have missed that experience for anything on this earth. R: That singing meets twice a year: once in the spring .•. M: Oh, they do? R: And once in the fall. The fall session alternates between the Primitive Baptist Church here in San Antonio and one in Austin. This year, the fifth weekend in October, it will meet in Austin. Then next year it will be in San Antonio. ROSS M: I wonder where the Primitive Baptist Church is? R: At the corner of DeSoto and Walton Streets. 5 M: That's a new one on me. But then you learn something every day, don't you? R: Yes. M: One of the things that I read ... your father-in-law was quoted as saying, and this is interesting to me, 'you don't sing to entertain the audience, you sing for yourselves.' And he said that it is a spiritual experience. Is that right? R: That is correct. It's not a performance. M: No. R: To get full enjoyment, you have to join in the singing. It's very close to congregational type singing that you have in church. It's spiritually uplifting and Sacred Harp Singers sing for praise and adoration to the Creator. And to each other and for our own enjoyment. Of course, a lot of people do like to come and listen. I won't say it is exclusively a participant's activity but you do get the full benefit and enjoyment by participating rather than just listening. M: One of the things that has tickled me was while we were in MacMahan, a little tiny kid got up in the middle and led the singing. I couldn't believe it. How old was that little child? She wasn't more than six, was she? R: Well, I don't remember. MRS. R: Many of our children start leading by the age of three or four. ROSS 6 MRS. R: That's one way we carryon the tradition within our families, is to teach our children. M: Were you a teacher? Are your kids taught? MRS. R: Our children are singing with us downstairs; they are 16 and 18 and they have been leading since they were three or four. M: How could they do it at three? MRS. R: You teach them at home. You work with your children to teach them. We're on the fifth generation, approximately, that I know of, in my family. I've been taught since I was old enough to start participating. M: Isn't that interesting! Let's get this settled: it says true these various sources ... I want to know which is The first thing I read about this was that it was purely southern .•. there were so many uneducated people that couldn't read music so they had the shaped-notes. Then I hear - in something recently - it says it started with •.. it says here, Sacred Harp Singing came to this country with the immigrants as it moved west over the mountains. When it says immigrants, does it mean Germans and Czechs and coming from other countries? R: No. He doesn't mean that. The Sacred Harp songbook was published in 1844 in Hamilton, Georgia. But the shaped-note tradition, the shaped-note style of singing, originated in upstate New York. M: Oh, it did? R: By two singing school teachers, itinerant singing school teachers, who devised the shaped-note system as a ROSS 7 R: method for teaching music to the masses, who were, by and large, illiterate. Who were uneducated. And that wasn't just the rural people •.. there were not very many well educated people during that day at all, considering the total population. M: Time and opportunity were missing. R: That's right. So they devised this system for teaching music. Now they appropriated the English fa sol la system and applied it, adapted it, to the shaped-notes. They combined the two. And I think this is where the confusion comes in the fa sol la did come from England ... we know that during the Elizabethan period. And that was taken by these two upstate New York music teachers and applied to shaped-notes to t each music. So they came up with the geometrical shapes for notes and gave them names, using old English syllables: fa, sol, la, mi. M: Those are old English? R: Yes, those are old English syllables. And so that was a very simple way to teach music. And it's still a valid way to teach music. Although it's not used any more, it's still a very valid and simple way to teach a person how to read music. That fell into disfavor somewhat in the Northeast as it became more educated and more prone to adopting the European musical methods. And as more and more musical instruments were imported into this country, the Sacred Harp, or the shaped-note tradition, moved south and died out in the Northeast. And there it took, primarily among the rural ROSS 8 R: people of the South. And the Sacred Harp was published in the South and has stayed there and it has been the southern singers who have maintained it all these years. But now we see a reverse trend. It seems to be declining in the South •.. in some areas extinct. But it's gaining popularity, being rediscovered outside the South. And we now have a very large group of Sacred Harp Singers in Chicago as well as in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Colorado, and one of the largest gatherings now is back in New England, where it started. M: Where it started. In every case, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, is it still spiritual? R: Yes. I have only seen video tapes of those gatherings, I've never attended One. But they're using the same books and singing the same songs. M: They are. I don't know how I came by this but I went through this particular piece of music. Somebody asked me the question Somebody asked me, "Is this all religious?" And I said, "I don't know, I'll find out." Well, now here is one we know: "All Hail the Power of Jesus Name." R: Yes. M: I'm an Episcopalean. Here's another one "Amazing Grace," I know that one. When Mary and I were sitting in the back and listening to the music and most of it was all strange to us and they started singing something we knew and we looked at each other and grinned ... "Hey, this is one we know." "Amazing Grace" and "Wondrous Love" .,. those we ROSS M: know. So those must come out of somebody else's hymnal. Protestant hymnal? R: You'll find a lot of the Sacred Harp songs in practically every hymnal; Protestant hymnal. 9 M: But you've got some of your very own , haven't you? R: Oh yes. Yes. There are some that you'll only find in the Sacred Harp. M: That's what I mean. R: Are out of that shaped-note period. In some shaped-no te song book. M: I want you to explain something to me. the tape. The triangle is fa, ... R: Yes. I want this on M: ... and the circle is sol, and the square is la, and the diamond is mi. R: Yes. M: OK. I wanted that on the tape. Now this is supposed to be just four notes and anybody can read this. And how, if you don't know do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do? It has to be that sound always? R: No. The sacred harp scale will sound exactly the same, tho we only use four syllables to sound the very same tone so that instead of do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do, it's fa, sol, la, fa, sol, la, mi, fa. M: Oh, now the light is coming on! Ah. I thought it had to be four notes and four sounds only. R: No. That is a very common misconception about Sacred Harp. ROSS 10 M: I'm glad we got that cleared. That has been bothering me to pieces. I tried to think how do these people know if they can't read music? How do they know? R: Yes. You have the full scale in Sacred Harp; the same as in any other music. M: Sing it again. R: Fa, sol, la, fa, sol, la, mi, fa. (singing) M: Now the shaped notes we've got on. [ the tape Now this convention meets only twice a year? What about the one in Henderson? You're the biggest one. R: In Texas. And, I might add, we are the second oldest in continuous existence in the United States. M: What's the oldest? R: The oldest is probably the Chatahoochee Sacred Harp Singing Convention. The East Texas Convention was organized by the East Texas Sacred Harp Singing Society in 1855. That was only eleven years after the Sacred Harp song book was first published. So that what that means is that the immigrants, or the migrants, rather, from the Southern states who settled East Texas brought their Sacred Harp song books with them. And that partiular organization disbanded during the Civil War and we have no records ••• it's all oral tradition that it was organized in 1855. I take that back; there is one printed reference: Benjamin Franklin White, who is one of the first co-authors of the first Sacred Harp, also published a newspaper in Hamilton, Georgia, called THE ORGAN. And a reference is made in that newspaper to the East Texas Sacred Harp Singing Society ROSS 11 R: as having begun in 1855. So we do have that documentary. But then it disbanded during the Civil War and reorganized in 1868. M: Oh! Reorganized. R: Yes. And has met annually since that date. And we have records that go back to 1868.. I could go to those records and tell you where that singing was held every year from 1868 to 1989. M: You've got those records? R: Yes. And I could tell you the names of the singers and the songs that they sang; that they led. As you noticed at MacMahan, the secretary calls the name of the leaders and the leaders get up and announce their songs ..• one or two that each one sings. Well, a record is kept of that and has since 1868. And so we can go to those records and could tell you what song a particular person led of any given year and what place they were. M: Marvelous. Are they being taken care of? R: They are preserved; the original records are at the State Archives in Austin. M: Let me see if I've got anything here that we've not covered. I've underlined ..• Now you see, in this Woodville clipping it says "four strings notes based on the four strings of a harp." One error gets picked up way back there and it carries forward. R: I think misconceptions are self-perpetuating, too. M: They sure are and sometimes they want them perpetuated Now you and your father-in-law apparently are sort of ROSS 12 M: the ring leaders, aren't you? R: Well. My father-in-law, Curtis Owen, has been very active in promoting Sacred Harp in Southwest Texas. Of course he's been singing much longer than I. I've pretty well confined my efforts to the East Texas area. But we help each other out. Of course our families were brought together by Sacred Harp. Diane and I met at the 99th Session of the East Texas Sacred Harp Singing. M: Did you really? How many kids have you got? R: Two boys. M: And they were started real young to sing. can't get over these little children doing that. that's amazing. I still I think Everybody I met over at MacMahan was so nice and so friendly. Do you think this has something to do .. , for instance, your children with this family support and this family cooperation ..• so you think it makes a difference. It sounds to me that it might. R: Well, I hope so. I tend to think that it does. Now our teenage boys had some reluctance about coming to the Texas Folklife Festival and participating because they have their activities, of course, as teenagers, any teenagers would have .. . but they have enjoyed and they haven't complained since they've been here. And I think they are having a big time. MRS. R: I think it makes them feel very special to be participating. M: They should, with papa up there leading the singing. ROSS 13 M: wasn't it interesting yesterday that this mob of people ..• so many people, "What's Sacred Harp?" Every now and then Patrick puts on his tape of the Hungarian national anthem and blasts it out and then I put the Sacred Harp music on ... (laughter) R: We appreciate your efforts. M: The girl that took me over to MacMahan took those photos. One of the things I did while I was there, I went up and down all the rows of the cemetery because what we are really about here is ethnicity and I wanted to see what kind of folk had settled over in that part of Texas and it's almost all Anglo. Which is terribly interesting. Some places it's solid German. Around this place they were mostly Anglo Saxon. I said to somebody where do all of you live? There's not a sign of house around here. And they said, nOh, we're around here." Where do people live around MacMahan? MRS. R: My family lives about half a mile from the church. You can see to the back the tops of the houses where my family settled. M: I couldn't see a thing. I thought - are they all secreted away? MRS. R: Sacred Harp singers, once they get it in their blood and enjoy the music will travel for miles. At our East Texas Convention, we'll have 40 to 70 singers from Alabama and Georgia. Last year we had 3 to 500 in attendance , with 8 or 9 states and one foreign country represented. ROSS 14 M: What foreign country? MRS. R: I can't remember. But we had one from Illinois, several from Florida, a large number from Alabama and Georgia, that traveled over to sing with us. M: They do? R: They come every year. M: There's something else I want to know. When I went up during the break, you were gone because Mr. Owen said, "Oh, you need my son-in-law." and looked around .•. "He 's not here yet." I said, "What does it mean when you say 'dinner on the ground'?" And he said, "Just exactly that. They had no benches, they had no tables. They put a bedspread or quilt on the ground and that's where the food was." This fascinates me. I'm a food person. I never had so much fun in my life as I had lunch time at MacMaha~. That food! That long table of vegetables, the meat. And then over here all those desserts. I suppose the women in the congregation would it have been just the Primitive Church people that did that? Who provided the food? R: The host community usually provides the food. So the church ladies of that church provided that food. M: What a feast that was . MRS. R: We do that at most of our singings. And that's partly still out of tradition because used to they would go to ... it would be in the middle of the country and you wouldn't have a place that you could go to get food. So as a courtesy the people that lived around there would bring food to feed their guests. And that's something that has ROSS MRS. R: continued on through today. Even though our singing will be in the middle of Henderson and very convenient to restaurants, we will still, as the host community, provide food for our visitors. That's a 15 tradition we're trying to hang on to. It's getting a little harder since we don't have as many people helping us. But in most places they still that's part of the tradition of Sacred Harp that we do help provide food for our guests that come to sing with us. M: Make them feel welcome. To me, this is just a slice of America, this lovely part of the country that we love so much. This family business, this caring, .•. There is so much ugly going on these days, I just think it is so important to keep these things going. And you wonder, in this over-materialistic, sophisticated world how long you're going to be able to keep it going. MRS. R: They used to, back when I was younger, when we would travel to different things, they always provided homes for you to stay in. It was unheard of for a Sacred Harp singer to stay in a motel ... of course, there weren't many at that time, but we would always be provided a home to stay in. And that's a tradition that we're no longer able to keep up. There's lots of motels now. But there's a very close knit feeling among many of the Sacred Harp singers who attend regularly, all the singing, we become very much of an extended family. We keep up with each other. Travel distances to attend funerals. ROSS 16 M: Now are there Sacred Harp singings at weddings and funerals? R: I'v never founD Sacred Harp at a wedding. This past December there was a wedding in San Francisco of two Sacred Harp singers and they sang Sacred all day on the wedding day. I've never attended that but I have found Sacred Harp at many funerals here. M: Have you? In the church or ... ? R: Yes. In the church and at graveside. M: At graveside? R: Yes. M: You know this gets fascinatinger and fascinatinger! R: There's a very interesting picture in the book, the history of Rusk County, which is where we're from, of Sacred Harp singers at a funeral. They're standing by the grave side someone took a picture of them singing at this funeral. It's very fascinating. M: One thing we didn't mention that we should have on this tape is the formation. Tell about the hollow square and who faces who. R: All right. This kind of goes back to something that we did talk about earlier, the fact that it is not a performance. You'll never have any quartets or duets or soloists at a Sacred Harp Sing. Everyone participates. But the singers sit facing each other in a hollow square. The four voice parts, that is, the soprano, alto, tenor and bass parts, sit facing each other. The sopranos sit opposite the ROSS M: altos; the tenors sit opposite the basses. And the leader stands in the middle. 17 There's some confusion about that, too, because there's a little bit of difference in terminology when we refer to voice parts. Because in some Sacred Harp circles, the soprano is referred to as the tenor and so you may find some reference to the tenors sitting opposite to the altos. Well, that means the sopranos sitting opposite the altos. M: Why did they do that? Quite a difference between a tenor and a soprano. R: Well, I think it has to do between male and female voices. That's another distinguishing characteristic of Sacred Harp because both sexes can sing any of the four parts. However, it's rare to find a male singing alto and a female singing bass. It is very common for both sexes to sing soprano and when it's a male sing ing soprano, he's referred to as a tenor. And when a female sings tenor, she is refe rred to as a trible .•• M: As a what? R: Trible. M: Trible? R: That's the way it's pro nounced but it's actually treble; treble singer. M: Another thing ..• it says here: "Sacred Harp music is distinguished by its considerable use of the minor key." Is that true? R: That is true . M: And now that I listen to these t apes . • . some kind ROSS 18 M: person sent me two more tapes. I did two ... I was so grateful. I wrote to Mr. Owen. So I got those - I keep one here (on this recorder) all the time because I talk about this to everybody and they say what does it sound like and I push a button and there it is. Did you have a good crowd tOday? R: Oh , very good and a lot of interest today. The best session was this morning. M: You sing in the morning? R: I'm sorry. No. it wasn't, it was noon. It seemed like morning; we slept late this morning. M: Now do you sing again this evening? R: Yes, we sing at 5:15 and at 8:15. That's our last performance. M: Is it? And then you're going home. Isn't this a wonderful thing? MRS. R: It is. M: Honest to goodness this Folklife Festival! I ask one question always: How do you feel about the Folklife Festival? These ethnic interviews. And everyone of them says that is such a wonderful thing to bring them in to the main stream. These people who are lost a little bit (conversation .•. noise on tape) M: Curtis Owen of the Southwest Texas Convention says many are old songs. Some are 3 and 400 years old. Is that true? R: Yes, that's true. M: But they have had to come from Europe then. ROSS 19 R: Yes. And many of those were secular tunes. M: Oh, they were? R: Yes, they were secular tunes to which a sacred verse was applied. As Sacred Harp developed, the shaped-notes singing style developed and they adopted a lot of the secular ••. For example: You menti,oned Wondrous Love. ~Iell, that was originally a secular tune, Captain Kidd. M: You don't mean it. R: That's right ... Some of them were dancing tunes; drinking songs. M: And they adapted them to •.. I suppose there wasn't a great big battery of music to draw from ••. R: That's correct. That's exactly right and that's why ... M: You made do with what you had. R: That's right. M: Pioneer spirit . ... quoting Donald Ross [reading] ... spoke of the itinerant singing masters ..• "today's singing schools are extinct and the singing sessions they inspired are waning ..• but Donald Ross and the East Texas Sacred Harp Singing Convention in Henderson are working to keep the tradition alive." You really are, aren't you? R: Well, doing what we can. M: Have you ever been here before? R: No. M: I didn't think so. You said you had raised enough ROSS 20 M: money to get over here for only two days .•. didn't you tell me that? R: About the only time that we could spare; wasn't so much the money. M: Oh, I see. Now Henderson will have its next convention when? R: Next week-end. M: Now this is August and then you'll have another one six months from now? MRS. R: Ours is once a year. R: East Texas is once a year. Southwest Texas is twice a year. M: You say they corne one time to San Antonio; one time to Austin. What were they doing in ~jcMahan then? R: That's the Spring Session of the Southwest Texas Singing Convention. It is always at ~Mahan. Not necessarily in April. Whatever weekend of the month that has Sunday in the Spring. M: When you are making arrangements to have a singing at the Baptist church, do you have to deal with the preacher? R: Not generally; no. M: I wondered if he'd object to ... R: The local people take care of that. That's never been a problem. MRS. R: Part of the tradition ••. the Primitive Baptist church in the past depended pretty much on itinerant preacher's schedule. In the earlier churches. So when a ROSS 21 MRS. R: fifth weekend came around, there was never church scheduled. In my earlier days there, the Southwest Texas Singing Convention met every fifth weekend in a community through out the South. It is through the decline of singers and various community, the convention now only meets twice a year ... on fifth weekends. But that's why traditionally it's been fifth weekends because the Primitve Baptists had been the pioneering host of the convention throughout the Southwest. And it hasn't been as much in East Texas but through the Southwest Convention, those are the primary hosts of the Convention. M: Thank you, thank you, for coming.

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
B.11.4. Apache::Request (libapreq)—Generic Apache Request Library |
This package contains modules for manipulating client request data via the Apache API with Perl and C. Functionality includes:
Parsing application/x-www-form-urlencoded data
Parsing multipart/form data
Parsing HTTP cookies
The Perl modules are simply a thin XS layer on top of libapreq, making them a lighter and faster alternative to CGI.pm and CGI::Cookie. See the Apache::Request and Apache::Cookie documentation for more details and eg/perl/ for examples.
Apache::Request and libapreq are tied tightly to the Apache API, to which there is no access in a process running under mod_cgi.
This module is mentioned in Chapter 6 and Chapter 13.
Available from CPAN. See the module manpage for more information.

Next week, students at North Baltimore High Schools will be given permission to use their personal electronic devices in school.
Students will be allowed to use their smart phones, tablets or e-readers for two weeks, with restrictions. The catch is: they can only be used for educational purposes.
Like many schools across the country, North Baltimore is looking into adding digital technology into their curriculum.
"We want to be contenders in the world of education, and we feel like we need to move ahead and make sure our students are equipped with the things that we need," said Superintendent Marlene North. "And we're hopefully allowing them to use their own devices so that we don't have to provide the hardware for that to happen."
No social media use will be allowed on the devices, and areas within the school will be color-coded for use: green for free use, yellow for use with permission, and red for no use at all.
"We're truly counting on our students to make those good educational choices, so that they can utilize that equipment that they're so familiar with," North said.
Students said they are excited with the news.
"I think it's a good idea, because it kind of gives you access to other options when computers and everything aren't available," said Senior Alison Flores.
At the end of the test period, teacher will debrief with administration on how the program went, what they feel worked, and what needs improved. They will then begin developing their digital curriculum that could be integrated as early as next school year.

Nodding, Victor says that Victoria speaks very highly of the head writer. Neil tells Victor that his name is Gary Dawson. Neil agrees that Gary has done a great job. Then Neil asks if that is the only reason Victor wanted to see him. Vic says no, that he wanted to discuss Brad Carlton. Neil asks if Brad is still "gainfully unemployed." Vic smirks and says yes. He says that Neil should keep his eyes open for anyone calling for a reference. He says that he wants everyone to know exactly why Brad is no longer at Newman Enterprises. Neil says that Brad deserves everything he gets.
Brad and Nikki are clinking glasses as Jack Abbott walks up. Nikki acts as though she knew that he was coming. Brad gets a little testy and gets up to leave. Jack tells Brad that Nikki prefers her men employed. The two of them stare daggers at each other as Brad makes his exit.

Tricia wonders if people will believe Sharon's story.
Tomas and Nina are dining together. Tomas asks why she hasn't answered his many phone calls lately. She says that the volume was turned down on her answering machine.

He says, "just let me say that if you run into my sister, try to be cordial." Jack asks why Brad was there and she tells him that they just ran into each other. Jack tells her about Ashley wanting to hire Brad back. Nikki says that maybe if Jack can put up with Brad being around Jabot, maybe Ashley would allow her to work there as well. Jack tells Nikki that trusting Brad Carlton is too high a price to pay.
Ashley's Office:
Ashley is talking to Dr. Thompson about her morning sickness. Brad comes in and tells her about his run-in with Jack. She tells him that Jack shot down the idea of his working at Jabot.

Ryan says he doesn't want to jinx things, but he thinks the nightmare is over.
The Dennisons':
Tricia asks Meg if she thinks people will believe Sharon. Meg says she can't understand how Sharon could be so cruel.

She says that for Sharon to say the Tricia conspired with Grace Turner is sick.
Legal Aide:
Baldwin asks if Chris has discussed the offer with Paul. She says that there is no point in upsetting him unless there is something to be discussed. She asks why it is so important to him. He tells her that he has never been the same since what happened between them. He feels that he won't really have made amends until he has her trust. Chris says there is more to consider than just business advancement. Michael tells her that he only wants to be her colleague and perhaps her friend.
Ashley tells Brad that she did talk to Jill, but when Jack walked into the room, she forced her hand to tell Jack about it. Then Ashley leans on the desk and Brad asks if she is ok. She says she's fine. Then Brad reminds her that if he and Jack could join forces, it would be hard for Victor to come down on them. She says that the last time they joined forced it wasn't a match made in heaven. He pushes it and she tells him to back off. She holds her hands to her head and says that he is not the only priority she has. He looks concerned and asks again if she is ok. She says that she has been feeling ill and he tells her that she should call it a day. She agrees and gets her coat and leaves.
Dinner is over and Nina asks Tomas what is on the agenda for the evening. They talk about what to do and then Nina's cell phone rings. It is Christine. She wants to talk. Nina looks at Tomas and he nods that it is ok. Nina tells Christine to meet her at Gina's. Tomas says that they will have lots of time together and gets up to leave.
Newman Enterprises:

The Abbott House:
John is in the living room when Ashley comes home. Ashley asks how Billy is and John tells her that he is up in bed. They comment on what a miracle it is that Billy got well. She starts looking through the mail and sits down at the desk in a wave of nausea. John asks if she had a rough day. She tells him that she's been feeling nauseous today, but that she is sure it will pass.
Paul's Office:
Paul comes in commenting that it smells like a German restaurant in there. Mary tells him that he and Lynn have been working too hard and that they need a treat as she hands him a plate of ribs and sauerkraut. He picks up a file and Mary tells him that he cannot do work while he is eating ... it will give him indigestion. Then she asks him about his big case ...
Ryan and Tricia's:
Victoria looks around at the display of candles and says that Tricia is a lucky lady. Ryan asks her why she came by. They talk about the stalker. She tells him that Victor wanted to fire the ad agency but she talked him into keeping Gary. Ryan asks her what is going on between her and Gary. She tells him that no matter what she feels for Gary, she's not sure he's her type. She says he's a good guy but she's not too sure about their future.
Christine arrives and sits down at Nina's table. She wants to talk about Michael's offer. Nina can't believe that Chris would even consider working with Michael Baldwin. Chris tells her that she told Michael that she needed more time, but he needs and answer tomorrow. Nina reminds her of what a sleezebag Michael is. Chris tells Nina she thinks he has changed. Nina tells Chris that she can't imagine what Paul will say about this. Chris wants to know if being her husband gives Paul the right to tell her what job she can take.
Ryan and Tricia's:
Victoria gets ready to leave and tells Ryan that she enjoyed the "dress rehearsal" before and that if Ryan needs any more practice for his night with his wife, that he can kiss her goodnight! He smiles and tells her that he and Tricia are really on the right track now. Victoria leaves and Ryan starts to have flashbacks about his life with Tricia. (The background music is the song that the mermaid sirens sing to make sailors turn their ships ashore to smash on the rocks ... hmmmm)
The Dennison's:
Meg tells Tricia that everything will be all right. She says that to think Tricia teamed up with Grace to destroy her and Tony is insane. Tricia reminds Meg that she loves her. Meg says that Tricia was so supportive when Tony died. She says that she couldn't have done it on her own. Meg tells Tricia that Sharon had the audacity to say that Tricia hit Tony on purpose. She says that nobody can turn them against each other ... can they? Tricia, looking a little spacier than usual, says she has to go. They hug and she leaves. When she is outside, she leans up against the door and looks out over the driveway and remembers the night of Tony's death. She wonders to herself if maybe it could be true that she hit him on purpose.
Newman Enterprises:
Neil tells Victor that it might not be easy to gain control of the last 15% of Jabot's debt. Victor says that he will "buy the damned company" if he has to. He says that when it comes to Jack Abbott, he will leave nothing to chance. He says both Jack and Brad thought that they could take him on and they will soon find out what fools they were.
The Abbott House:
Jack comes home and, overhearing Ashley say "it will pass", wants to know what she's talking about. She ignores him and leaves the room telling John she is going to get a glass of water. Jack asks John if he said something wrong. John tells Jack that Ashley is not feeling well and that maybe he is part of her problem. Ashley returns with the water and goes to her purse to get a vial of pills. She takes one and puts the vial back in her purse. Jack grabs her purse and she shouts at him to leave it alone. Jack demands to know what's up with the pills and what Ashley is keeping from him and John ... as the credits roll.
While Christine and Nina discuss her career plans over dinner, Christine tells her friend that she is fascinated by Michael's job offer, but worries about Paul's reaction. Nina tells her to be prepared because there is no way he is going to take it lightly. She tells Christine that she is shocked that Michael got her to even consider his offer and that she really can't blame Paul if he does get upset. Later, Chris breaks the news to an irate Paul who won't even discuss the matter. At the same time, Michael goes to visit Christine in her office only to find Paul's mother, Mary there. She tells him to leave, but he assures her that he means no harm towards her son or daughter-in-law. He asks her to turn to her strong faith in God and find it in her heart to give him a second chance. Back at the restaurant, Nina runs into Megan on her way out. Sensing that she is upset, Nina asks Megan what is wrong. Megan tells her about Sharon's accusations about Tricia. When Nina suggests that Tricia seek psychiatric counseling, Megan snaps back that it's Sharon who needs the help, not her sister. Meanwhile, Tricia arrives home to find a romantic evening set up by Ryan. When she tells her husband that she's not in the mood because she is worried about Megan, Ryan decides to go get Megan and bring her back to their place. Desperate to keep him from leaving, Tricia seduces him. Afterwards, as Ryan showers, Tricia has more visions of the car crash. Over at the Abbott's, Jack continues to question Ashley about the pills he found. Ashley finally gives in and reveals to her brother and father that she is pregnant. She tells them that she and Christian have talked about it and have agreed that she will raise the child by herself. Once she assures him that this is what she wants, John offers his daughter his support. When he leaves, Jack tells Ashley that it's not right and that Christian should take responsibility for his child. Ashley warns her brother that this is what she wants and that he'd better stay out of it. Alone, Jack calls Christian in Paris. At Neil's, Olivia joins him for dinner. They discuss Lily and how Neil is frustrated that he can't see her because of her chicken pox. He is worried that as soon as she is better, Dru will take her out of the country again for another modeling job. When Olivia questions him about his feelings for Dru, Neil says it's in the past but finds himself caught up in a flashback to a romantic evening he had spent with his ex-wife. Over at Malcolm's, Dru thanks him for his hospitality but warns him to stop asking her about Neil or else she will take Lily and leave. Later, Dru calls Sid and tells him that she won't be able to be in Paris on time for the photo shoot because Lily is still infectious. He warns his client that if she doesn't go, she'll be jeopardizing her career. When Dru explains her dilemma to Malcolm, he offers to watch his niece while she's gone.
THE PENTHOUSE / Abbott HOME / PARIS / JABOT
Victor is remembering his conversation with Neal regarding buying Sun River Bank. He now owns all of the company's that Jack owes when he bought back Jabot. He assures Neal that he knows that Jack will try to get out of repaying his first installment in May and when he does, he'll be right there to snatch the rug right out from under him. Jack and Ashley are in the living room having coffee. Ashley explains to Jack that she wasn't ready to tell the family about her pregnancy. They then discuss their recent discussion concerning hiring Brad and Nikki to work for Jabot. Jack suggests they drop the subject since she shot down Nikki and he shot down Brad. Billy comes downstairs prepared to go off to school. Jack tells him to come home right after school and to not go to the coffeehouse or anywhere else. He shouldn't rush back into all his activities until he's 100%. Jack teases him about being so excited to return to school and asks if it involves a female. Billy leaves and Jack tells Ashley that he's sure Billy anxious to get to school because of Mackenzie. Ashley thanks Jack for not making any snide remarks about her pregnancy and jokingly comments that now that Billy's back at school Jack now has someone else's life he can meddle in. After Ashley leaves for work, Jack calls Christian in Paris. He congratulates him on the baby and asks what his role will be. Christian tells Jack that he and Ashley have discussed it and she wants to raise the baby alone. Jack wonders what the baby's life will be like without its father. Christian tells Jack to respect his sisters wishes about raising the baby alone, but mentions that he is there for Ashley and the baby if they ever need him. After his conversation with Christian, Jack books a flight to Paris to speak with Christian in person.
Later, Victor stops by Ashley's office on the pretense of saying hello. He is really there to find out how much John is involved in the day to day activities at Jabot. He tells her that he has never seen her look more beautiful and radiant. She says its due to being the first day of spring and new beginnings. Ashley tells Victor that she heard about Victoria's stalker and is glad that everything is okay. Victor inquires about Billy and Ash tells him that he's fine and went back to school today. Victor comments that when all is well with ones family, everything else is not important. Victor asks how John is and if he misses New York. Ashley tells him that she thinks when the family regained ownership of Jabot, it literally saved his life and she's very grateful to Victor for allowing them to buy back Jabot and allowing Jack his victory. Victor tells her that he doesn't want to talk about Jack. He tells her the only reason he did what he did was because of his respect for her father and his love for her but his issues with Jack are not closed. He kisses her on the cheek and leaves. Later, Christian calls Ashley and tells her about Jack calling. Ashley thanks Christian for sticking to their story. He tells her that he doesn't mind and they say goodbye.
Neal stops by Olivia's to check on her. She tells him that she has another biopsy today to find out if the medication is working. He agrees to drive her to her appointment and bring her home. He then tells her that he wants to convince Drucilla to allow him to spend some more time with Lily. After all Dru has been responsible for Lily for some time and she may need a break for a little while. Olivia asks if he wants Lily and Dru to move in with him. He says he was thinking of Lily but if Dru wanted to she could move in too, there is more than enough room. He questions if Olivia thinks they couldn't do it. She tells him she's sure they could if only for Lily's sake.
Meanwhile, at Malcolm's, Dru and Malcolm are discussing her trip. Mal wonders if she's avoiding Neal. She tells him that she's not avoiding Neal but she wishes he would stop hounding her about Neal because her feelings for Neal are a dead issue. Mal asks her if she had a man in her life back in Europe. She tells him that the only things she's been involved in are her work, her daughter and her privacy and tells him her private life is none of his business. He tells her that she has an opportunity to reconnect with Neal staring her right in the face. He also wonders if she questions her divorce from Neal. She reminds him that Neal divorced her. She doesn't want to start reminiscing with him or arguing with him about Neal and goes upstairs. Olivia and Neal are still discussing Lily when someone knocks on the door; it's Dru. She tells Neal that she's glad he's there. She tells him that she's leaving town today to go back to Europe for a photo shoot. He tells her she can't take Lily because she's still contagious. She tells him that she's not taking Lily, she's leaving her with Malcolm. She encourages Neal to go see Lily and after she's well to spend more time with her. Neal makes a comment about Dru's modeling career and her leaving Lily and they begin to argue but Olivia stops them. Dru apologizes and says a tender goodbye to Olivia and tells her to take care of herself. Dru leaves. The camera pans back to Neal as he's shaking his head. Neal comments that it's just like old times. Dru is here one day...gone the next.
Malcolm is giving Lily breakfast as Dru comes downstairs from packing. She tells Lily that she has to leave and Lily begs her not to leave her because she's sick.
Over breakfast, they again discuss Michael's offer to Chris. Paul comments that he's not surprised this conversation isn't over even after the conversation they had the night before. He comments that he knows she's thought about it a lot. Chris admits that she has and really wants his advice and opinion. She wants him to look at it in the present and not look at what happened seven years ago. He tells Chris that he'll listen to what she has to say. Chris then explains the benefits of having her own practice. She won't be limited to one type of law, she'll be able to influence the system and she'll still be able to work pro bono like she does for Legal Aid. Paul tells her that her own law practice might have many benefits but she'll still be working with a man she doesn't trust. She tells Paul that she did have some reservations about working with Michael. Paul asks her what changed her mind. Chris tells him about Desmond fronting all the money to start the firm. Paul tells her that if it were anyone but Baldwin he'd be okay with it. Chris reassures him that she would have an ironclad contract stating everything she wants and expects. Paul still doesn't understand and tells her he still has many questions regarding Michael's motives and the promises that he's made to Chris. Chris tells him that his concerns are valid and she wants him to let all his feelings out regarding this situation. Paul tells Chris that if she takes the job with Michael that she'll be letting every judge, lawyer, and client know that she's forgiven Michael and that she trusts him. He wants to know if this opportunity means so much to her that she's willing to "prostitute" her reputation for it.
Brock asks Mac if she would like to talk. He would really like to help because he knows that she was upset last night. Mac insists that she can't talk about it. Brock tells her that the best thing she can do is to go to the source and talk it out and be honest. She's not sure she can do that. As Mac leaves to go to school, Kay walks in. He tells her about Mac being upset last night but asks her not to mention anything to Mac about it. Kay says she's concerned too, after all, Mac is her granddaughter. Kay wonders if it's about a boy. Brock admits that he thinks Mac is confused over her feelings for Billy Abbott. Kay questions this and wonders if he's sure. She knows that Mac can barely stand Billy. Brock comments that "it's a thin line between love and hate." Kay can't believe it especially since she spends so much time with Raul. Later at school, Billy approaches Mac as she's walking away from her locker. He wants to know why she didn't call him last night. She tells him that she got home late from work and figured he was asleep. He wants to know if they can talk. He's still amazed that it was Raul who saved his life. He knows that this complicates things between them and wonders what they should do now. They both express their concern about hurting Raul, especially since he saved Billy's life. Mac admits to Billy that this is why she's been so confused. They both admit their feelings for each other and wonder if they should just tell Raul. She's about to tell Billy something when Raul walks in. Billy thanks Raul for saving his life. Raul admits that it was nothing because he knows that Billy would have done the same for him. The bell rings and Mac leaves. Billy is also about to leave but Raul stops him and tells him that he wants to talk to him about Mac.
Katherine pays Nikki a visit at the ranch and Nikki tells her about Jack's offer to hire her as a fashion consultant at Jabot. She says that even though Ashley is against it, she thinks it could still be worked out and she is seriously considering accepting the job. Thinking that Nikki is doing it just to get back at Victor, Katherine offers her a job at Chancellor Industries. Nikki admits that the thought of getting under Victor's skin has occurred to her, but she honestly wants to take the job at Jabot for herself and no one else. After Katherine leaves, Nikki is confused by a call from the sperm bank saying that they have Victor's sperm there. A furious Nikki figures Diane has something to do with. At the same time, Diane continues her attempt to get her hooks back into Victor. After she watches him working out, she brings up the past and reminds him of how she used to bring him water after he worked out when they were married. As Victor grows uncomfortable with the conversation, Diane assures him that she still has no false hopes of getting him back. As he heads to the shower, Diane answers a phone call from the sperm bank. She tries to take a message, but Victor overhears and grabs the phone and is surprised to find out that his sperm is still there. Elsewhere, Raul confides in Billy and tells him that he told Mac that he loves her. Trying not to let on his own feelings for Mac, Billy asks if she responded and Raul says no. After asking Billy to talk to her and find out how she feels, Billy tells Mac that maybe it's better that they not pursue their feelings and risk hurting Raul. Mac says that she's not in love with Raul, but sadly agrees with Billy. Over at Malcolm's, Lily begs Dru to stay with her. Dru assures her that she will be fine and that she'll be back in a few days. As she expresses her mixed emotions on leaving, Malcolm assures his sister-in-law that she is a wonderful mother and that she isn't doing anything wrong by leaving for a few days for work. Guilt ridden, Dru stops herself at the door and says she can't leave her daughter. In the meantime, Reese visits Olivia and tells her and Neil that her current treatment doesn't seem to be working and that she should consider asking Dru to get tested as a possible bone marrow donor. Olivia says she's not ready for Dru to find out yet. When Reese leaves, Neil pushes her to tell her sister about her condition. Olivia fights him and says she doesn't want Dru to give up her career for her unless it become absolutely necessary. At home, Chris and Paul continue to argue over her job offer from Michael. Paul tells his wife that if she takes the job, she'll be setting herself up for her own self-destruction. Christine is upset that he has so little faith in her. She reminds Paul that what happened 7 years ago happened to her, not him. She has gotten over her past with Michael and there's no reason that he shouldn't do the same. Unwilling to change his mind, Paul goes to his office and fills a shocked Lynne and Mary in on Christine's plans while Christine goes to Michael and tells him she has reached a decision.
Diane eavesdrops on Victor as he talks to the lab about the return of his sperm sample and asks the technician not to destroy it. Diane then advises Marissa that she doesn't want the sample to fall into Nikki's hands. Asking Jack to the ranch, Nikki leaks to him about the sperm. Guessing that Diane has her hands on the sample, Jack offers her a friend's name who "plays by his own rules" to get things done. Raul argues with Mac that Billy should be told what Brittany really did the night of the party. Meanwhile, Brittany confides to Billy that she was confused and did not call 911 after discovering him and felt that everything was out of control. Later, Billy lets Mac know that if he is going to spend more time with her and Raul, he can't do it alone. Ross hears from a boastful Larry that he is as free as a bird. Worried, Ross tells his lawyer he has to get out tonight. Paul advises Victor that he is getting a warrant to search Ross' apartment. Chris listens to Michael confess that he is afraid to fail if he does this new law practice alone. Chris tells Michael what she wants in the partnership contract and he types it up.

Michael Grecco/Contributed photoSinger Terri Nunn (in red) appears gleeful over the idea that her band Berlin has a new album coming out Tuesday, titled "Animal." Pictured with her (from left) are Berlin bandmates Chris Olivas (drums), Dave Schulz (keyboards) and Carlton Bost (guitars).
To hear Terri Nunn tell it, her stint spinning electronic dance records at a small campus radio station just over the hills from her Ventura County home inspired her to put out a new album with her longtime band Berlin.

I'm hoping that i coule get some help with fixing up the place i just moved into. I'm looking at doing a complete reno on it, all new flooring, paint, and furniture. now the place seems like its from the 70's beacuse of the bar, roof and fireplace but for some reason i like the bar the way it is and want to keep it like that much as i can. I want to decide on paint colors asap so that i paint it before i get new flooring in (i'm thinking of wood flooring in here, i was thinking darker like walnut or something) then i'm looking at new drappery and then the furniture. i've attached pictures of the bar the roof and the fireplace i mentioned above. i would appreciate any suggestions as they would be a great help. (i'm very bad with color cordination)
p.s. don't mind the mess i've just moved in and i havn't really put anything where it goes.... its sorta just been left where i happened to find room.
Attachment | Size |
For colours suggestions from SICO, fireplace Charcoal Lines, walls Crosshatch
and for the ceiling maybe a shade lighter than the walls Sketch. You could paint the ceiling and walls the same colour and add crown moulding to make a nice visual impact.
From BM, fireplace Stampede, walls Brandon Beige. The dark floors would look beautiful and an area rug to anchor the space will tie it all in.
Leather or micro suede fabric is very durable. As for the drapes until you pick your sofa it is hard to suggest colours. Tone on tone stripes or a nice linen can work.
Keep us posted on your progess.
and yes I would keep that great bar (the base) and paint out all the rest so that it actually jumps out and becomes the focus piece. I think you need to update it, and personally I would forget the 70's thing. But that bar could look great.
Does that fireplace actually work?
TLC did a great basement reno show and the guy's basement reminds me a bit of yours. Your television is probably a focal point for this room so I would suggest investing in a great L-shaped sofa (sectional), with perhaps another great comfy chair.
I would also get rid of the mirror behind the bar. Are you into the 70's look? If not I would also get rid of the coloured panes above the bar. I would leave the actual bar but rip out everything else around it so that it opens up a lot more. I am assuming that you have a sink back there as well as a small bar fridge, am I right?
if you are not wanting to rip down the ceiling, you could tone down the texture by painting it either a darker color than the walls, which is suppose to actually make basement ceilings appear higher or you could do it a couple shades lighter than the wall color.....i also think your bar is rather cool, has that retro look
This is what I mean about trends. Someone actually thought that was a good idea way back when. I suppose it orginally came about to hide cracked and uneven plastered ceilings. Are you planning on keeping that or hiding it?
What is on your ceiling right now, is that a popcorn ceiling?
As much as I love dark floors they don't really work for me as they show the dust more and I don't really want to be mopping every day. I think they will also date a home since dark floors are a popular trend right now in the newer homes. As boring as it sounds I think the medium toned stains are more practical and if an area rug is put on top then they aren't as noticeable anyway. It's a big and expensive decision picking flooring so think long and hard and look at all the options.
Welcome. Depending on when you are timing that new floor, you may want to wait and paint after the new floor.The reason is it takes paint about a month to fully cure. New floor means oodles and oodles of dust as well as some dings in the walls. That dust on fresh paint is a total pain as it can stick for good. On old paint it pretty much falls off, so a good cleaning and then paint and you have nice fresh walls, no extra texture or dullness from stuck dust.
Meanwhile walnut floors are great, I love dark floors. To keep things from getting too heavy you might want to think of something lighter than black though for a sofa or plan on getting an area rug to break things up a bit.
What struck me with the bar and mention of black stools and such was diner style or 60's modern with black, red, white.
I was also thinking gray would look good. The walls could be a mid tone and the fireplace might be painted out charcoal.
The bar is interesting and can prove to be quite a focal point in your space. For paint colour you need to decide on furniture/sofa first than you can decide on what colour to go on your walls.
Have you decided on a sofa yet? What colours do you like, neutrals, bold colours. Gray is really a hot colour right now and can work as great neutral in your space. Charcoal gray or browns can both work in your room.
HAHA...the packing and the HUGE TV!!!!!!!!
:biglol: Mel
Please don't take offence...we're just having fun with ya!
I was wondering the exact same thing Mel. The packing looks like it could be the work of a male LOL
No offense, we are just wondering. :)
No suggestions for you yet...but I wanna say welcome...and am curious to know if you are a guy or a girl? Is it wrong to wonder that??? LOL

Judy Reyes, left, and Ana Ortiz star in the Lifetime drama "Devious Maids." ( Lifetime ) |
Lifetime doesn't want the dust to settle just yet. The network has ordered a second season of its soap drama "Devious Maids."
The Mexican import centers on five Latina maids — played by Ana Ortiz, Roselyn Sanchez, Judy Reyes, Dania Ramirez and Edy Ganem — who work for the well-heeled elite in Beverly Hills and find themselves bonded when a fellow housemaid is murdered. The Marc Cherry series drew much criticism ahead of its premiere from within the Latino community and beyond questioning whether the show perpetuates negative stereotypes.
Accusations surrounding the series, an adaptation of Televisa's telenovela "Ellas son la Alegria del Hogar" (They Are the Joy of Home") had executive producer Eva Longoria on the offense.
"What I didn't expect was that much criticism from our own community having not even seen it," she told The Times in a May interview. "It doesn't define our culture, if we're playing these types of roles."
That didn't stop the more than 2 million viewers who tuned in to its June 23 premiere — and the numbers have steadily grown since then. While still hardly the type of numbers Cherry's ABC soap "Desperate Housewives" drew with its Sunday airings in its heyday, the sudser has at least done well in positioning Lifetime as cable's No. 1 network in the 10 p.m. ET/PT slot among women.
"One of the most daring series on television, "Devious Maids" has quickly become a hit. We are very proud of the show and are delighted to continue our partnership with Marc Cherry, Eva Longoria, Sabrina Wind, ABC Studios and Televisa USA. I am thrilled we are bringing "Devious Maids" back for a second season to lead our scripted slate in 2014," said Rob Sharenow, executive vice president and general manager of Lifetime, in a statement.

Tyler, our little fireman!! He has been wearing his costume for weeks now! He was kind of disappointed that his costume didn't come with a air-pack. So being a smart little almost 4 year old, he took the silo off his farm and tied a rope to it. Now he wears that on his back as a air pack. He went to a Halloween party this weekend and worked very hard on putting out his hungry at the decorate your own cookie table.
