We've had a few days of rain here in San Diego recently which means we end up doing alot of indoor stuff. You know what I mean -> hot chocolate, warm meals, watching endless reams of movies (Redbox deals of course! At $1.20 per movie they simply can't be beat!). I don't mind these types of days as long as they don't last too long, which is why wintering here in the SW is sooooo nice. But all this did get me thinking about indoor tips and making your inside RV experience warm and cozy. In Danish we actually have a specific term for this called hygge -> the art of making your environment fluffy-sock-comfy-warm-inviting even on long, dark winter nights (we're experts, don't you know). Over the past few years we've infused hygge to the RV and picked up a couple of ideas which I thought might be kinda fun to share with others.
1/Add Mood Lighting
I'm a very light-sensitive person (in my cubicle days I always felt like the office florescents were sucking the living soul out of me), so I'm always looking for ways to make the lighting warm and cozy. Here's my tips:
- Get LEDs in the right color & brightness - I spent alot of time finding exactly the right color and light when we converted our overhead G4′s and reading lights to LEDs. We've been incredibly happy with the results with the added bonus that these super-saving lights use ~1/10 of the power of our old halogens.
- Use Candles – Being Danish I love real candles and we have several spots with candles and tea-lights around the RV. In a closed containers the tea-lights are safe and cozy, and will burn out on their own when done. I buy tea-light candles in bulk at IKEA, sometimes with scent too.
- OR, Try LED Candles - If you're worried about using real candles in your RV check out some of the new flameless LED candles which are on the market. They're battery-operated (perfect for boondocking) and the more advanced versions even have timers for the perfect mood-time. You can often find outstanding deals on these babies on eBay or in discount home furnishing stores.
2/ Decorate Your Space
Alot of RV's have the same kind of "dullish" feel to them (what is it about RV decorators that makes them think everyone wants everything in a shade of brown?), so adding little accents of color and splash can make a huge difference to indoor feel. Here's some ideas:
- Rugs, Pillows & Covers - In our rig the first change we did was get rid of our brown carpet and replace it with a burgundy red in the living room and a sky blue in the bedroom. I accented those colors with gold & red pillows on the couches and finished off the color-splash with teal Sure-Fit washable cloth covers on our (very brown) dinette chairs. Even if you don't change our your carpet, throw rugs can be an bright, easy and cheap addition to your floor. Walmart, Target and IKEA are get spots to buy these at a reasonable price.
- Pictures & Decor - As everyone who's ever rented a house knows, adding personal touches to decor and pictures can make your space feel more like home. We've put several pics up around the rig (using the 3M Command Strips), added several decor pieces (using QuakeHold Museum Putty), and hung some bigger pieces (with 3M Wire Hooks). None of these things have budged in 2 years of travel.
- Green Living Plants – I feel plants give a vibrant feel to just about any space. We have several pots around the house including a small one in the kitchen and a larger plant in the bedroom. Quakehold will keep these in place while travelling.
3/ Use Real China & Glass
This is a kinda personal thing, but I feel having real china and glass in the RV adds alot to the sense of home I have here. If you package these properly they'll travel over any terrain, and using these tips we've not had a single break (due to travel) in 2 years:
- Glasses – We use a wine-box lined with foam to create a custom wine, champagne & cognac glass holder. Fits any type of glass!
- Plates – For our plates we've lined the cupboards with a non-slip liner (the best stuff I've found is the thick IKEA shelf liner) and put non-slip plate separators between each item. They sell pre-packaged & cut versions at Camping World, or you can buy a whole roll of the stuff at Walmart for much cheaper and just cut it yourself.
4/ Add Some Scents
Of the 5 senses, I think smell is one of the most inviting and there's some super-easy ways to add that dimension into your RV
- Incense - We have several simple incense burners that we use from time to time. Lots of places sell relaxing & attractive incense sticks or cones.
- Flowers – Who doesn't love the smell of fresh flowers in the RV? We don't buy them often, but when we do I use my handy-dandy collapsable WonderVase to show them off. Love that thing!
- Scent Spots – There are all kinds of scented cones, crystals and plug-ins you can buy out there, but my absolute favorite is the Febreeze Set and Refresh -> it uses no power, gives decent longer-term scent and you can place it anywhere. We always have one open in the bathroom.
And that's the whole enchillada for our little family here in the rain. Time to snuggle-up and watch a movie, methinks. Got any good tips of your own?
45 Responses to 4 Tips For Creating Instant Indoor RV Coziness
Steve & Gari says:
Nice space you all have created. Thanks to the link to your LED reference material; you had posted that before I arrived here When I read the title to item #2, I saw the picture of Paul sitting at the table and (mis)read, Decorate your Spouse; now there's an idea! I had to re-read the title Here's one thing you didn't mention this time, but you have before, park so great scenery is out your window. We hope the weather clears up for you all real soon so you can get back out there and enjoy the great out of doors.
libertatemamo says:
Decorate your spouse…haha…I LOVE it! And yes, scenery can make ALL the difference, even on a gray day.
Dan and Pat says:
Pat and I totally agree with you on real dinnerware/glassware. We have carried wineglasses, set of four, for nearly two years without a break. That compares very well to the numerous ones I managed to break at home when not on the road. We did find the answer for dinnerware. We found many patterns of Corelle Ware and although they no longer are promoted as "breakproof" as they did when brought to the market some 40 years ago, they are labeled break "resistant". I have dropped them from a height of 5′ without damage and think you will find them pretty close to breakproof with the feel of glass plate. Open cupboards carefully as these will create a much larger bump on the forehead than paper!
Dan and Pat
libertatemamo says:
I've looked at the Corian dishware a few times, but have ended up keeping the old china. I think that if/when our dishes eventually get too old we'll probably go back and re-look at the Corelle Ware. They're getting better and better (with nicer patterns). Thanks for the tip!
Paint Your Landscape says:
Did I say how much I enjoy your blog? You have given me some great ideas to personalize our rig. We have only been in it since August but I need to step it up a little and add a few touches. I find that I get restless when I have to stay inside too long and I think you have just given me the ideas I need to change that. Thanks!
libertatemamo says:
So happy you like it
Looking forward to meeting you guys once you get settled into San Elijo.
Paul Weaver says:
Sounds like time for a date nite…..
libertatemamo says:
Yup….candles and wine a-coming!
Ann Cabezas says:
Great information!!! Thanks a million.
gumo says:
I sure enjoyed and appreciated your links and information about replacing the G4 bulbs with LED. I will be following suit on my camper soon and your blog today has given me the confidence to do it. Thanks!
libertatemamo says:
The LEDs have gotten ALOT better over the past few years. Just take your time and buy one at a time so you can check the light/color before you commit to changing out the whole rig. It's a big investment, but the power savings are simply wonderful and with a little research you can end up getting exactly the kind of inside feel you like.
Denise says:
Here's an idea I read recently on another Blog – although it would probably go better under 'battery conservation' rather than 'decorating'….
Use solar patio lights – no battery power needed. Put them back outside during the day to recharge.
It was a major DUH ! and smacking my head kinda moment when I read that. Now why didn't I think of that !!!
You could even place them under a table or behind something to create 'mood' lighting.
libertatemamo says:
What a great tip! I've seen those solar patio lights before, but didn't think about putting them on the rig. Thanks for sharing!
Linda Sand says:
I'm into soft. My lap rug right now. Velvet pillows in the past which I may do again. Velvet wears much better than I expected it to do and I tie-bleached the pillow covers; velvet almost always bleaches to gold. There's nothing like snuggling down into a soft nest on a cool evening with a book or movie.
Plus, we have two small pictures our mothers painted and a clock we inherited from Dave's Dad that we hung using 3M Command strips to help make the place ours.
BTW, I like our brown decor. So easy to add whatever color accent I'm wanting at the moment. We used to have dark blue; now we have mostly sage green. Almost feels like being out in the woods even when we are indoors.
libertatemamo says:
Lovely tip on the velvet! We have quite a few velvet-like covers (from Costco) that we use to snuggle in the rig when it's chilly outside. I do love the feel of a soft blanket!
Debby says:
I so LOVE your blogs! I can't believe how much time I spend, sometimes on a daily basis, taking out stuff & packing it away every time we move. I have some of the elmers glue putty for some small things around the rig but never even thought about using some stronger stuff for candles & such. Do you use it for appliances on the kitchen counter while you roll,also? The only issue I can see would be that it's a bit harder to clean the kitchen & bathroom counters on a regular basis if you have to constantly "unstick" everything. How do you deal with this?
libertatemamo says:
I use the museum putty everywhere! Simply love that stuff. It's under our potted plants, decor, bathroom fixtures, candles, kitchen stuff etc. It does make cleaning a tad more work, but it's not too bad. The items where I use the stuff come off really easy with a twist and then I just push and wiggle them down again when I'm done cleaning.
Marsha says:
I love our computer frame. It makes me feel like our family and friends are right here with us. I always take a ton of pictures of them and add them each time to the slideshow. Cute idea for a blog. Hope the weather is better now.
libertatemamo says:
Digital picture frames are a great idea!! We don't have one yet, but it's on our wish-list.
ayo says:
I love these suggestions! Thanks for taking the time to write this post.
libertatemamo says:
Glad you like em!
Agreed, Agreed, Agreed. Candles check. Splashes of color, check (orange & burgundy for us!) Real glasses, check. Oil paintings, check. We've skipped the green plants since our cats have always liked to snack on them however. I needed the RV to feel as much like home as possible & all these things help for sure. Great post (as always…).
libertatemamo says:
Sounds like you guys have got the rig nice and cozy! Nina
Amy says:
Did you know that you can paint the walls in your RV? We couldn't stand the hideous wallpaper, so it plus the wood trim around the slideouts, and even the window treatments got painted. We also remade the front window curtain to match the interior paint, plus we replaced the dining table with a real table that was repainted to match our theme. The seats that were with the original MoHo table are bench seats with storage, so we replaced one of our couches with those and made them our cat area. The litter box and a sleeping area (which we call the Cat Cave) fit nicely in there. To top it off, we made a custom cushion that is big enough for a person to sleep on if they want. We purchased chairs from Pier 1 to go with our repainted table. And the last thing we did (that I can think of) is replace the hideous mirror doors of the bedroom closet with a curtain. You wouldn't believe how much easier it is to make the bed now that we're not bending over and bumping into those ugly doors. Of course we use half the closet for a cat nest (they need multiple places to sleep), but who needs a giant wardrobe anyway?! We'll be starting a blog soon to highlight all the changes we made to make our MoHo more Home than Motor!
libertatemamo says:
Oh fabulous! I would most definitely love to see pics of all those changes. Do let me know when you post the blog.
Amy says:
Hopefully I will get the blog going in the next couple days. I am enjoying myself too much near Mt. Shasta right now to want to work much!
Amy says:
Well, I have a start on the blog: http://2011paperstreet.wordpress.com
There's a lot of work to get these things going! I had no idea. Kudos to you for doing it!
libertatemamo says:
Very nice-looking blog! I'll be sure to sign up and follow you.
Dan says:
Absolutely on all 4 tips…we do all of them, live plants, candles, lighting, decor, pillows, etc. even an artificial plant and stones in the shower.
We use lots of sticky stuff and leave most everything in place, even off road boondocking 95% of the time.
libertatemamo says:
Yup, the quake-hold (sticky putty) is good stuff. Most of our decor stays in-place when we move.
nimarda says:
We were in Tombstone in February of this year, 2013. I got a laugh out of seeing the Doc Holiday Actor's picture. I too thought he was the best of the bunch. Unfortunately we were snowed on a couple of days but then the Sun came out again. I love the South West. Nice Blog.
Cheryl Smith says:
We enjoy using wood bowls, plates, serving platter. Need to clean as soon as you are done eating, not let soak, but definitely travel well. Stainless wine goblets for me! Just upgraded from our Class C toyhauler to a Winnebago Tour with a trailer for the Goldwing. Feel like we moved into the penthouse suite!!
libertatemamo says:
What neat ideas! And very homey too. Cheers for sharing!
Pam says:
I love your decorating tips. I do have another type of question regarding crystal glassware. We have cupboards with hanging wine glasses. They tend to 'chime' and rub together when the bus is in motion. Any tips for covering them (astetically) to keep them from making noise? We have strips of non skid woven between them, which looks really 'lovely' through the glass doors
Thanks, Pam
Else ireland says:
I can not wait to meet you two, in Bandon. My hubby Kim, and myself will be hosting in Bandon for aug. and sept. Our 5th year full timing, and loving it. As I am a full blood Norwegian, I feel I have so much in commen with you, specially decorating. Colors, candles, good glass of wine. How sweet it is. Enjoy! Else.
libertatemamo says:
How very exciting! Looking forward to meeting you too. We'll have a whole month together here.
kathy says:
Love all these ideas, I love the smell of candels, just took a class in using essential oils, you can get all diffrent kinds of deffusers, then add the oils to your inviroment, lavendar at night , peppermint daytime, there are other oils that help prevent flu and colds, clove , tea tree or a blend called shield, these are much better for you and contain no harsh chemicals.
libertatemamo says:
Essential oils are a fabulous idea! We can't use them (sadly) because of our cats, but for those who are feline-free they add wonderful aromas to your home. Thanks for sharing the tip!
Bill Leathers says:
Denise in Jan of 2012 mentioned the solar patio lights… we had found a string of solar-powered rope lights that can easily hang from the awning or be stretched behind the outdoor sitting area.
Thanks for the great site!
libertatemamo says:
Nice idea! We also nabbed ourselves some outdoor solar lights recently, but these are the stick-in-the-ground type. $25 from Walmart and we love them! Outdoor coziness is nice too.
Rosanne says:
I could not agree more on all counts! I have said the same thing about our RV upholstery… So boring! Although our class C is brand new, I started making changes right away. Nothing permanent, but I chose dark red as my "pop of color"… kitchen rug, Keurig coffee maker, kitchen towels, placemats, small blender, etc. I also made some small scale toss pillows out of arm covers from furniture I have in our home with different patterns including dark red and gold. I love soft lighting and candlelight as well. The flickering, timer LED candles work great for us. They are also lightly scented. I keep one in the bathroom which works great as a nightlight too. The others I place strategically as soon as we park. I do all the interior setup while my husband hooks us up. We do occasionally use paper plates, but for dinner, the table is set with red placemats and a lovely red patterned Corelle. I hated the cheesy faux brick patterned wallpaper in the kitchen so we looked into SmartTiles. In about three hours, for a little over $100, I hung the SmartTiles myself. They are vinyl, but look SO much like glass tiles that you would never know they aren't! It is imperative to me that the camper, both inside and out, is homey and comfortable. Personalizing our hotel room on wheels has been as much fun as using it and I suspect it will be a work in progress for quite some time! I've got tons of ideas, but I'm keeping them to myself so my husband doesn't think I've totally lost my mind!
libertatemamo says:
Very, very nice set of tips. The idea for the smart tile is fabulous and I imagine gives the kitchen a really nice, personal touch.
Since I wrote this post we've gotten even more into LED candles. I especially like the Inglow series of LEDs. We bought THESE ONES in both red and honey-colored. I also bought THESE larger LED Candles for some more dramatic light. All are very natural-looking and we have them set to automatically turn-on at night.
Jane says:
Enjoyed article. I don't have a lot of
Counter space but can add pretty colorful rugs, pillows and some
Pictures!! I like photos of my kids
And grand kids to put up also. Thanks
For blog.
Janet says:
Hi Nina! Thanks for such helpful tips and ideas! We're buying our first toy hauler next week and I'm so excited! Starting my list of necessities and a list of what not to bring. Just bought a nice elk pillow pattern to make a few throw pillows. Maybe make a small travel quilt for a homey touch. Love the led candle idea and the stuff that holds things in place. Never knew it existed! Sounds like silly putty for adults.
I have a question for anyone that has a toy hauler. When traveling with an atv and pulling it into the trailer does anyone put some type of covering or tarp on the floor to protect it? Seems like rocks or pebbles and dirt stuck in tires would tear up the flooring without protection. Any ideas on this? I'd appreciated any advice I can muster up.
I'll certainly follow your blog Nina and again, thanks for the good tips!
Diane Pulsipher says:
This is the first RV website that actually seems to have some class. I love the ideas. We have a Montana 5th wheel and am just getting started. I had my husband drill out eight circles in some thick foam and my crystal wineglasses travel great! I also have my regular glasses in cut out wood holders. We are converting the small storage unit inside the front door (which was used for hanging caps, jackets, etc. to a multiple canned storage unit, which will free up several of the upper cabinets. Still have lots to do, but immediately replaced the couch and chairs with something a little more expensive and classy. Who chooses the fabrics for RV's. Mostly, they are awful!! Anyway, thanks for all the good info!

Check out my blog at rickypackard3.blogspot.com
Follow me on twitter @rickypackard3 for all your sports news and scores!
With one exciting Summer League down, another one starts up this afternoon in Las Vegas. With 22 teams participating, here are some players from team to team that I will have my eyes on.
Atlanta Hawks
John Jenkins, SG (6'4, 215), Hawks – A good scorer off the bench who averaged 6 points per game in 61 appearances this past season for the Hawks
Shelvin Mack, G (6'3, 210), Hawks – Played with the Wizards, 76ers, and Hawks for a total of 31 games in his second NBA season in '12
Dennis Schröder, G (6'1, 168), Phantoms Braunschweig (Germany) – A good scorer who can also play defense. The question is whether or not he is NBA ready and his summer league play should show us
Charlotte Bobcats
Bismack Biyombo, F-C (6'9, 245), Bobcats – FG% and PPG dropped off in 2nd NBA season but he can still rebound and block shots
Jerome Dyson, G (6'9, 180) – Hapoel Holon (Israel) – Played in 9 games with the Hornets in 2012 averaging over 7 points per. Was a big time scorer in college at Uconn, now looking for another shot at the NBA after finishing last season overseas
Patrick Ewing Jr, F (6'8, 235), CB Valladolid (Spain) – Yes, the son of NBA legend Patrick Ewing Sr. Unlike his father, he's struggled to find a home in the NBA. Only NBA experience is when he played in 7 games for the Hornets in 2011. At 29 years old, this summer could be Ewing Jr's last shot at an NBA career
Abdul Gaddy, G (6'3, 195), Washington – Averaged 11 points and 5 assists as a senior at UW
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, F (6'7, 232), Bobcats – The 2nd overall pick of 2012's draft averaged just 9 points per game through 77 starts
Rodney McGruder, G/F (6'4, 205), Kansas State – Solid player at Kansas State during his 4 years there. Finished #2 in career offensive rebounds in the Big 12 with 254. Looking forward to what this kid can do because I believe he has future in the NBA
Jeff Taylor, F (6'7, 225), Bobcats – 2nd round pick from 2012 who played significant minutes for the Bobcats his rookie season
Brandon Triche, G (6'4, 210), Syracuse – Undrafted in this past draft but has tremendous upside. A 4-year starter at 'Cuse averaged over 10 points per game for his career. I think he can make this Bobcats final roster
Deron Washington, F (6'8, 210), Berak Netanya (Israel) – Fantastic defensive player throughout his 4 years at Virginia Tech. Was the 59th overall pick to the Pistons of the 2008 NBA draft. That didn't pan out and he ended up in the D-League for a few seasons before ending up in Israel last year
Cody Zeller, F/C (7'0, 240), Indiana – Good shooter who averaged 16 points and 8 rebounds as a senior on a good Indiana team. The Bobcats drafted him with the #4 pick of the '13 draft
Chicago Bulls
Charles Boozer, G (6'3, 205), Iowa State – The brother of Bulls F Carlos Boozer doesn't have nearly the talent Carlos does, but could impress some international scouts with a good showing
Matthew Bryan-Amaning, PF (6'9, 240), KK Radnički Kragujevas (Serbia) – Great rebounder at Washington but shooting skills weren't sharp enough to land an NBA spot
Andy Rautins, G (6'4, 190), Tulsa 66ers (D-League) – Had a brief stint with the Knicks. 3 point shapshooter at Syracuse
Tony Snell, G/F (6'7, 230), New Mexico – The 20th pick of the 2013 NBA draft was a good all-around player at NM
Cleveland Cavaliers
Justin Harper, F (6'10, 225), Idaho Stampede (D-League) – 14 appearances for the Magic in 2012. Not many guys with his size that shoot the 3 as good as he can
Cory Higgins, G (6'1, 181), Erie Bayhawks (D-League) – Versatile guard who played in 44 games over the past 2 seasons with the Bobcats. Ended last year in the D-League
Kevin Jones, F (6'8, 250), Cavaliers – Appeared in 32 games this past season. Decent size, and good kid who can provide quality minutes
Kenny Kadji, F/C (6'10, 242), Miami (Fl) – Can rebound, shoot the 3, and play defense. Would be surprised if he doesn't at least play 2013 in the D-League
Jermaine Taylor, SG (6'5, 205), Maine Red Claws (D-League) – Former Rocket and King has bounced around the globe the past few years. At 26, attempting comeback to the NBA
Dion Waiters, G/F (6'4, 215), Cavaliers – Terrific rookie season last year averaging nearly 15 points a game
Tyler Zeller, C (7'0, 250), North Carolina – 6 boards and 8 point per game in 77 games last year as a rookie
Dallas Mavericks
Jae Crowder, SF (6'6, 235), Mavericks – Provided high-energy and athleticism off the bench for Dallas as a rookie last year
Shane Larkin, G (5'11, 176), Miami (Fl) – Mavericks 18th overall pick averaged 15 points per game as just a sophomore last year at Miami. Anything near those numbers and Mark Cuban will be happy
Ricky Ledo, G/F (6'7, 195), Providence – Never actually played an NCAA game at Providence due to eligiblity issues but from what I've heard, kid has some real talent. Curious to see how he performs in Las Vegas
Hamady N'Diaye, C (7'0, 235), Tianjin Ronggang (China) – 19 games over 2 seasons with the Wizards a few years back. Has the size to still be a big man to come off the bench and rebound
Christian Watford, F (6'9, 232), Indiana – Big man who could see time in the NBA eventually, but not this season
Denver Nuggets
Joel Barkers, SF (6'6, 225), London Lions (United Kingdom) – Got to see this kid play at the University of Hartford. Big kid who can rebound. At 26, the NBA is a long shot at this point but with a good summer, could end up in the D-League
Luke Harangody, F (6'8, 240), Fort Wayne Mad Ants (D-League) – 70 career games with the Celtics and Cavaliers. Recently in the D-League. I think he still has a place in the NBA
Jordan Hamilton, F (6'7, 220), Nuggets – Spent the past 2 seasons in Denver. Can shoot the 3 ball fairly well
Darius Johnson-Odom, SG (6'2, 215), Spartak St. Petersburg (Russia) – 4 Career NBA appearances with the Lakers this past season. Averaged 10 points per game for the Boston Celtics in the Orlando summer league where he looked sharp
Quincy Miller, F (6'9, 210), Nuggets – I was a huge fan of Miller in High School and at Baylor. Still needs some work before he's an everyday NBA man
Ben Uzoh, PG (6'3, 205), Springfield Armor (D-League) – Played for the Nets, Cavaliers, and Raptors over a short NBA career. I see him back in the D-League or overseas in 2013
Golden State Warriors
DJ Cooper, SG (6'0, 176), Ohio – Was exciting player who was heart and sole of an Ohio team. Long shot to make team but possible D-League player. Played for Philly 76ers summer league team in Orlando
Draymond Green, F (6'7, 230), Warriors – Played in 79 games as rookie. Didn't provide much
Scott Machado, G (6'1, 205), Warriors – Only played in 5 games as a rookie. Was a brilliant scorer in college at Iona
Gary McGhee, C (6'11, 250), Medi Bayreuth (Germany) – Wasn't a scorer but was a rebounder in college at Pittsburgh. Not sure if the skills are there for him to see NBA action in 2013
James Southerland, F (6'8, 210), Syracuse – Good player in college at Syracuse. Averaged 7 points per game playing for the 76ers summer league team in Orlando
Mouphtaou Yarou, PF (6'10, 255), Villanova – Played significant time over his 4 years at Villanova. Averaged nearly 10 points and 8 rebounds as a senior last year. I think he has the talent to play in the NBA eventually, but as for now, a D-League player
Los Angeles Clippers
Brandon Davies, F (6'9, 235), BYU – 18 points 8 rebounds per game as a senior. Certainly has the physical capabilities of a being an NBA star
Jonny Flynn, PG (6'0 185), Melbourne Tigers (Australia) – Started 81 games as a rookie for Minnesota in 2009. Would play for 3 teams in the next 3 years before ending up in Australia this past year. Underperformed for the Pacers summer league team in Orlando
JaMychal Green, PF (6'8, 228), Austin Toros (D-League) – Was on the 2013 NBA D-League All-Rookie Second Team
JaJuan Johnson, PF (6'10, 221), Idaho Stampede (D-League) – Played for the Celtics for a while before bouncing around throughout the D-League. Big kid who can rebound and block shots
Derrick Low, PG (6'2, 186), Azovmash (Ukraine) – Former Cougar of Washington St knows hot to run an offense. At 27, could be past his prime

Terrence Jennings, PF (6'10, 230), Erie Bayhawks (D-League) – Highly touted recruit out of highschool entering Louisville where he was a dynamic athlete. There's a spot for him somewhere in the NBA
Eloy Vargas, F/C (6'11, 244), Caneros LR (Dominican Republic) – Stood out at the University of Florida before transferring to Kentucky which I think hurt his draft stock
Iman Shumpert, G/F (6'5, 220), Knicks – Looking for Shump to make that next step to becoming an All-Star caliber player. He's primarily on this list because of his well-crafted high-top fade
Phoenix Suns

The North Carolina Museum of Art has acquired its first work by impressionist painter Mary Cassatt, courtesy of a Winston-Salem woman and some anonymous donors.
"Portrait of Madame X Dressed for the Matinee" will go on view in the museum's impressionist gallery later this month and be part of its permanent collection, museum officials said Tuesday.
Charlotte Hanes and other donors gave the painting to the museum in memory of her husband, Philip Hanes. The Hanes family had owned the portrait, which Cassatt painted at a pivotal time in her career.
"We are very excited and fortunate to acquire this beautiful portrait by Mary Cassatt — the Museum's first major work by an American female artist before Georgia O'Keeffe," said John Coffey, the museum's deputy director for art and curator of American and modern art. "That Madame X addresses the evolving role of women in modern society is equally important. In my opinion, it is not only the Museum's most important 19th-century painting by a female artist — it is our finest 19th-century portrait."
Cassatt, an American artist who painted the portrait of a fashionably dressed woman in 1877 and 1878, was rejected by the Paris Salon in 1877. Her friend, Edgar Degas, then invited her to exhibit with a group of artists known as impressionists, Coffey said. She was the first American, and one of only two women, invited into this circle.
The painting has been exhibited in galleries and museums in Paris, Zürich, New York, Tokyo, Chicago, San Francisco and Washington.

Public Abstract:
The ability of cells to continue to divide in prolonged culture allows researchers an unprecedented opportunity to introduce genes into the genome and select clones with the appropriate genetic modification. The development of a variety of vectors and strategies has allowed perhaps the most dramatic examples of this in non-human stem cell populations – the use of mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) to obtain truly remarkable modifications of the mouse genome. In principle, these various strategies could be adapted to human stem cells. The human stem cell field gained momentum when human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were successfully isolated in 19981. hESCs present an unparalleled opportunity to fully benefit from the advantages of genetic manipulations in a controlled manner, in particular, gene targeting via homologous recombination. In theory, by developing techniques for gene targeting in hESCs, it is possible to analyze the function of any gene and to develop in vitro models for developmental studies or for the purification of cells of specific somatic lineages. However, the techniques that have been successfully used in targeting mESCs have met unexpected challenges when adapted to hESCs, and to date, only three genes have been targeted in hESCs. One major difficulty in targeting hESCs is the complex DNA constructions required for homologous recombination. We believe that elaborate targeting vector construction is a prerequisite for successful gene targeting in hESCs. To generate such targeting vectors rapidly, more efficient cloning techniques are required. For example, instead of the traditional strategy of restriction digestion and ligation, which is often laborious and ineffective for cloning large DNA fragments required for homologous recombination, ET cloning approach via homologous recombination allows for direct isolation of human genomic DNA from BACs or yeast artificial chromosomes, thereby eliminating the step of prior isolation of large DNA fragments. In this proposal, we will develop novel targeting vectors utilizing ET cloning directly from human BACs for homologous recombination in hESCs. In particular, we will develop a GFP knock-in approach to target key genes involved in dopaminergic differentiation for which we have a well-defined system for characterization. We plan to target three transcription factors that are essential for specification and maturation of dopaminergic neurons in mice.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The ability to target a specific gene in mouse embryonic stem cells via homologous recombination has revolutionized the study of mammalian gene function. Our proposed research will develop novel tool/technique for targeting human embryonic stem cells via homologous recombination. In particular, we will target genes that are know to play an important role in the development of dopaminergic neurons, neurons that are selectively and progressively degenerated in patients with Parkinson's disease. Such targeted cells will be very useful for studying the roles of these genes in dopaminergic differentiation of hESCs which may provide insights into pathology and treatment of Parkinson's disease as well as new therapy development. Therefore, the proposed research will also benefit California residents suffering from PD.
Review Summary:
This proposal focuses on the development of novel targeting vectors for efficient homologous recombination (HR) in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) utilizing novel cloning technologies. The applicants propose to use bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) based cloning and HR techniques to improve the efficiency of gene targeting in hESCs. Specifically they plan to create hESC reporter lines with GFP inserted into the pro-dopaminergic transcription factors Lmx1a, Nurr1 and Pitx3. They then propose to demonstrate the utility of these knock-in reporter lines by selecting dopaminergic neurons from hESC cultures by fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and functional testing of these neurons in vivo in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. Overall reviewers found the potential impact of this proposal to be modest. They believed the project to be feasible, although some concerns were expressed in terms of achieving the proposed milestones on time. In terms of the research team, reviewers found the technical expertise appropriate, although the publication track record was considered weak. Reviewers agreed that the stated goals of the proposal are important ones, however, they questioned the novelty and impact of the approach. They recognized the need for methods that improve the efficiency of HR in hESCs but noted that the use of longer recombination arms allowed by BACs is one of several reasonable approaches to optimization, and is not particularly novel. Reviewers appreciated the potential value of dopaminergic reporter hESC lines for Parkinson's disease research. On the other hand, they commented that the three transcription factors mentioned in the proposal, Lmx1x, Nurr1 and Pitx3, likely contribute to fate determination for other cell types and therefore questioned the lack of inclusion of a marker of more terminally differentiated dopaminergic neurons, such as tyrosine hydroxylase. Finally, a reviewer noted that the applicants only propose to use one starting hESC line and felt that, given the variability in these lines, the impact would be greater if knock-ins were made in multiple lines. Reviewers agreed that the proposal is feasible mostly based on the preliminary data presented. One reviewer commented that the milestones are clearly described but may be difficult to reach in the two-year timeframe. The reviewer noted that the use of an ET cloning approach should help by eliminating an essential step of large DNA fragment isolation. Another reviewer was not sure that the chosen cell line, BG01, was a good choice. The karyotype of BG01 is not clearly stated in the preliminary data and the reviewer believes that this line has a propensity to develop an abnormal karyotype. Finally, a reviewer noted that it was unclear how the relative numbers of differentiated and undifferentiated cells would be determined following transplantation. Overall, reviewers found the research team to be qualified to carry out the proposed research. One reviewer would have liked to see a greater than 10% effort by the principal investigator, but noted that s/he is already is funded by 2 CIRM initiatives and other projects. Two reviewers commented that the requested budget of ~$500,000 per year seems excessive, particularly for a project with a linear workflow and downstream experiments dependent on successful gene targeting. Overall, while the reviewers felt this proposal was feasible and came from a strong research team, they questioned the impact and novelty of the approach.

A Kentucky man is now facing manslaughter charges five months after a fatal crash.
Jonathan Keeton, 29, of Salyersville, Ky., is in the Boone County Jail on charges of manslaughter, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and driving on a suspended license.
Police say Keeton was drunk when he caused a crash on Interstate 71/75 in July that killed Connie Sutherland, 31, also of Salyersville.
The crash happened on the northbound side, near the Walton exit, at 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
Police say the car was speeding and veered to both sides before sliding sideways off the road. The car struck a culvert, causing it to go airborne. It then rolled and threw both Keeton and Sutherland out of the car.

A respected mentor of mine, Steven Northcutt of SANS, once told me, "Eat the watermelon and spit out the seeds." It's an appropriate metaphor: There is often truth buried in statements and concepts we disagree with.
The concepts of trusted computing and DRM (digital rights management) often require a watermelon approach. Trusted computing is the idea that integrity and authentication -- and at times encryption -- are built into all parts of a computing system. It's built into the hardware, into the CPU, and into supporting motherboard chips. It's supported by the OS and implemented all the way into the software application layers. Even the network and all the related network devices have authentication and trust built in. Default authentication and encryption are built in to every process, every computing cycle bit to terabyte.
Great discussions on trusted computing goals are covered by the Trusted Computing Group. If you really want to be a serious computer security professional, take the time to read and understand TCG's Trusted Platform Module, Trusted Network Connect, and PC Client specifications.
Trusted computing, if implemented correctly, is a beautiful thing. But can we trust our trusted vendors to be trustworthy? If the applications we install to our trusted platforms contain untrustworthy code, the whole exercise is for naught.
As for DRM, I support its overall objectives. Content providers and copyright holders should be able to charge for their content if they so choose -- as long as they are following commonly accepted laws and traditions. It's the American way.
But DRM is often swung as a sword by a drunken warrior blithely unaware of the damage he is causing. What's got my dander up this week is Sony's incredibly bad DRM decision making.
Two weeks ago, Sysinternal's Mark Russinovich discovered that many of Sony's music CDs are protected by a DRM mechanism that mimics a malicious rootkit program (see sysinternals.com/Blog for his excellent details on the issue). Sony's handling of the issue has gone from bad to worse. First, they basically said most people don't care about the issue and released flawed removal instructions. Then several worms and viruses started appearing that used Sony's rootkit hiding mechanisms.
Today, I read that Sony's new removal software leaves any computer it has been executed on in a very insecure state. Namely, the browser on any affected machine will allow any Web site to execute any program on the computer -- malicious or otherwise.
The removal process apparently leaves an insecure ActiveX control installed that can be remotely scripted by any Web site to do anything. Lest you think this is a joke, the post on the vulnerability was created (partially) by Ed Felten, one of the world's most respected computer security experts. Add to that fact the many insane statements -- such as people filing bankruptcy have to delete the music and that you cannot play the music on a work computer -- Sony made in its EULA agreement, and the issue of DRM's reach and who to trust becomes a lot seedier.

New York's dizzying landscape of coffeeshops, baristas and cafés may make you want to give up and settle for a bodega-sourced buzz. Thankfully, we've cut through the noise to bring you this list of the best coffeeshops and espresso bars in New York City. Did we miss your favorite place to caffeinate? Join the conversation in the comments.
- Price band: 1/4
This international coffeeshop and espresso bar draws on Spanish, Italian and Middle Eastern traditions. Snacks like olive-oil cake, cured-olive cookies and pain perdu with sweet ricotta are offered alongside espresso drinks made from Counter Culture Coffee beans.
- 86 E 7th St , (between First and Second Aves)
Cafe Pedlar
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
This Cobble Hill café—a partnership between Frank Falcinelli and Frank Castronovo of Prime Meats fame and Stumptown Coffee—serves espresso drinks and homemade German and Austrian desserts, including a pretzel knot with Brie and Vermont butter.
- 210 Court St, (at Warren St)
Café Grumpy
- Price band: 1/4
Husband-and-wife-owned Cafe Grumpy might have an extensive drink menu, but the baristas' utter dedication to the almighty bean is no less intense. Clover coffee machines hum nonstop, brewing fresh individual cups off the ever-changing bean menu-the baristas will talk up a storm about the coffees if you let them-and pastries are available from Blue Sky, Balthazar and other bakeries.
- 13 Essex St, (between Canal and Hester Sts)
Joe the Art of Coffee
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
Coffee devotee Jonathan Rubenstein now serves grade-A espresso at five locations of his boutique-coffee chain. In addition to espresso-based drinks, a single-cup, drip-coffee bar dispenses a rotating selection of brews, while baked goods from companies like Ceci-Cela and Donut Plant provide just the kind of snacks a coffee drinker needs. And for real bean aficionados, Joe offers classes at the Waverly Place, 13th Street and 23rd Street locations.
- 405 W 23rd St, (between Ninth and Tenth Aves)
La Colombe Torrefaction
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
This Philadelphia-based coffee company roasts all of its beans—which are often sourced through direct trade—and sells pastries from Ceci-Cela and homemade ones from pastry chef Kate Jones.
- 319 Church St, (at Lispenard St)
- Price band: 1/4
This downtown java spot features an $18,000 Slayer espresso machine.
- 71 Worth St, (between Broadway and Church St)
Ninth Street Espresso
- Critics choice
This bright café—an offshoot of the East Village original—is
inside the Classic Stage Company building. Baristas prepare artisanal espresso, alongside a selection of pastry from Balthazar.
- 700 E 9th St, (between Aves C and D)
Blue Bottle Coffee
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
Before this Williamsburg coffee bar and roastery came along, the only place in New York where you could find San Francisco's famed Blue Bottle Coffee was at Gramercy Tavern. Now caffeine fanatics can sample the company's shots of espresso and cups of joe—made to order from freshly roasted, mostly organic beans—without dropping a wad of cash on a dinner. Iced-coffee fans in particular should take note: Five contraptions from Japan slowly cold-drip Kyoto-style brew, while those who like to add milk should consider the stronger New Orleans-style preparation, fortified with chicory.
- 160 Berry St, (between North 5th and 6th Sts)
Toby's Estate Coffee
- Price band: 1/4
In Australia, coffee snobbery is a national pastime, and this boutique brand—call it Sydney's Stumptown—is the bean of choice in many of the country's serious cafés. Founder Toby Smith put in time at plantations in Brazil and Guatemala, boosting his cupping and business skills, before breaking out on his own in 1998. From an 11-pound roaster in his mother's garage, Smith grew the company to include seven locations across Australia and Singapore, a barista training school, and more than 600 accounts at other restaurants and cafés. Toby's Estate Coffee joined Williamsburg café-roasteries like Oslo and Blue Bottle with its own 3,000-square-foot shop, boasting a shiny custom-made Probat Burns P25 roaster from Germany and a dedicated cupping room. For the New York location, Smith brought on fellow Aussie Deaton Pigot, an Intelligentsia alum who holds a coveted position as one of the judges of the Cup of Excellence, a renowned competition that awards the best coffees from select countries each year. Here, Pigot will roast the high-grade, shade-grown beans—coffee raised slowly and sustainably under a tree canopy—that Smith and his team source from small farms in Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Central and South America.
- 125 North 6th St, (between Bedford Ave and Berry Sts)
Stumptown Coffee Roasters
- Price band: 1/4
- Critics choice
Portland, Oregon's artisan coffee company's first café in New York offers espresso-based drinks as well as French-press and cold-brew coffees. Pastries are supplied by Ceci-Cela and the folks at Frankies, Prime Meats and the Breslin.
- Ace Hotel, 18 W 29th St, (between Fifth Ave and Broadway)

Former stockbroker to take reigns at controversial Burnley High School
Updated 12:20pm Friday 28th February 2014 in News By Emma Cruces, Education reporter
A CONTROVERSIAL new school has revealed the headteacher who will take the helm if the school goes ahead.
The proposed Burnley High School will be managed by former Wellfield School headteacher Dawn Forshaw, if it gets approval to open this September.
Mrs Forshaw, 54, a former high school teacher and stockbroker, said the aim of the school was to provide project-based learning over traditional methods.
She added that the church-ethos school, which would have 90 Year 7 places available but ultimately see 700 pupils including 200 sixth formers, was also welcome to those of all faiths and those of no faith.
The school has attracted opposition with faith groups, teachers and also representatives of major teaching unions joining with Burnley Council to oppose the free school scheme.
However the married mum-of-one, who has 20 years' teaching experience, said she was undaunted.
Speaking to the Lancashire Teleg-raph, she said: "Everyone who has opposed the scheme appears not to have school age children in the area. Where you have parents who are looking for more options, they are welcoming us with open arms."
Originally from Maghull, near Liverpool, she read economics at Hull University before taking a PGCE in the subject, along with PE. She has worked as a secondary teacher in Hull and Berkshire before working as a stockbroker in Manchester and Liverpool for 15 years.
When she started a family she became a primary school teacher in East Lancashire and has worked at St Paul's in Nelson and St Leonard's in Padiham where she undertook deputy and acting head roles before becoming headteacher at Wellfield.
Concern over the effect on school places is something she says the Department for Education will take into account.
She hopes to focus on project- based learning, which uses real-world examples to teach skills.
She said: "This school will be very different but not weird, as some think. Project-based learning is backed up by the research and motivates the children."
The news comes after the 'preferred' site for the scheme was revealed as the former Habergham High School, in Byron Street. The proposal from the Life Church Burnley, Community Solutions Lancash-ire and the Chapel Street Schools Trust is now under a statutory process between Lancashire County Council and the Department for Education.

Really? it 'appears' the above statement has no foundation in truth since why would respondants reply if the survey wasn't relevant to them?
Ironically, Ms Forshaw avoids answering the subject of the effect on school places this additional school may have by diverting the subject to the Department for Education.
Seemingly a poor communicator, Ms Forshaw, apparently promotes something (project -based learning) that nobody has ever heard of?
to answer DaveBurnley' s question: Education nowadays is big business and pays very well, as anyone who knows the market understands.
the main factor here is Burnley has half empty schools (such as sir john thursbys that cost £21m to build). Yet here we are again throwing money at a ludicrous idea of a new way of learning (that has no evidence base) to prop up a derelict school on kiddrow lane that should have been demolished years ago...

- Youkilis just trying to settle in with new club
- Floyd looks for answers against nemesis
- Third to first
MINNEAPOLIS -- White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn has recently slipped into a slump, but manager Robin Ventura is confident he'll snap it soon.
After an 0-for-4 showing in Tuesday's 3-2 win, Dunn has only two hits in his last 33 at-bats, spanning nine games. The 32-year-old struck out in 20 of those at-bats, including all four of his at-bats in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Twins. He has struck out in seven of last 10 at-bats.
The source of the funk may lie in Dunn's approach, Ventura said before Tuesday's game.
"Right now, just pulling too many pitches," Ventura said. "Early in the year he was hitting a lot of balls to center field. You can get into that thing where you try to hit home runs every time you go up instead of just play and hit."
Dunn is hitting .208 with 23 home runs -- third most in the American League. He is a year removed from hitting a career-low .159 with 11 homers.
"I don't think it's anything like last year," Ventura said. "It's just one of those you just have to work through. I'm not worried about him falling back into what he had last year. It's just a little funk like everybody else goes through during the course of the year."
Youkilis just trying to settle in with new club
MINNEAPOLIS -- After a whirlwind few days, life is finally slowing down a little bit for Kevin Youkilis.
Chicago's new third baseman said he woke up tired on Tuesday, but it was nothing a nap didn't fix. The past 24 hours provided Youkilis with a sense of stability.
"I think being here and just going to the hotel and coming to the field -- having a normal 24 hours -- I think it's a lot easier to just concentrate on playing," he said.
Youkilis went 1-for-4 with a single on Monday in his White Sox debut. He saw a total of 23 pitches in his four at-bats. Manager Robin Ventura started him at third base and slotted him second in the batting order again on Tuesday.
"Youk battled," Ventura said. "He sees a lot of pitches and fouls stuff off. That stuff will carry over to the rest of the lineup."
After playing with the Red Sox since 2004, distancing himself from his old club isn't exactly easy. It's a work in progress that Youkilis takes seriously.
"I'm kind of trying each day to push it away because this is my new team," Youkilis said. "My old team -- I can still keep in contact with those guys and stay friends with them. But it's not my team anymore. It's good to be in first place, rather than at the bottom."
Youkilis is already on the good side of his new club's most prominent fan -- President Barack Obama. Obama thanked a Boston crowd for Youkilis during a campaign speech on Monday.
"It's probably a better way to get mentioned by the President than other ways," Youkilis said. "So it's a good thing."
Floyd looks for answers against nemesis
MINNEAPOLIS -- No American League team has victimized Gavin Floyd more than the Minnesota Twins.
Going into Floyd's start Tuesday night, Minnesota was hitting a combined .314 (124-for-395) against the right-hander, the highest mark among AL squads. Floyd had a 4-11 mark with a 6.29 ERA in 16 starts against the Twins.
"I think it's for him to spot better and have better control more than it is to have that mindset that 'They have my number and I have to try and do something,'" White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He just needs to be sharper."
Floyd didn't fare well in his previous start against Minnesota this season. He was shelled for nine runs on eight hits in only 3 2/3 innings on May 22 in Chicago.
But going into Tuesday's start, Ventura was more concerned with his team's run production. The White Sox had been held to one run or less in three of their last four games.
"We need to play some better defense," Ventura said. "And we need to score some runs before we worry about what [Floyd's] doing."Floyd eased any concerns with seven shutout innings in a 3-2 victory to end an eight-start losing streak against the Twins. He tied a season high with nine strikeouts and allowed just five hits while not issuing a walk.

You might want to fix the "typo?" in your headline...
Editor's note: Thanks.
on Jun 19, 2012 at 1:15 pm
might also want to fix the part about prior salary "freezes" - teachers receive something called step and column automatically EVERY YEAR. about 2-3%/year. This is IN ADDITION to any "cola" increases.
on Jun 19, 2012 at 2:00 pm
To "Another"........don't make assumptions.....the "freeze" mentioned could very well apply to step and column increases; in fact that's what it usually means. And, BTW, not all teachers benefit from the annual step and column; only the younger and mid-career teachers do. Just FYI.

It seems audacious to say the least that the school administration, after turning decidedly anti-teacher after Anne Campbell's departure, would cut students and teachers from 10 days of learning and teaching to remedy a situation that it created through its own hubris!
According to the administrations own budget documents, teacher salaries are about 50% of the total budget. I understand that everyone in the community should play a part- but cutting so deeply from the actual purpose of the education system?
With 50% of the budget not involving the actual teacher in the classroom with students learning, I would say there is plenty of pork to cut...
Strange priorities when the school cuts learning to save money.

A motorist was killed and his passenger injured when a car left the road and crashed into a north suburban lake early Friday in Lake Villa.
A Pontiac Aztek traveling east on Eagle Drive crashed into Lake Miltmore near Nathan Hale Drive in Lake Villa about 1:50 a.m., according to a release from the Lake County Sheriff's office.
The car had driven about 200 feet through a yard and struck a boatlift before landing upside down about 50 feet into the lake, the sheriff's office said.
Responding officers pulled a passenger out of the car but were unable to rescue the driver, the sheriff's office said. The Lake Villa Dive Team was called and eventually removed the driver, 18-year-old Angel B. Flores of Lindenhurst.
Paramedics took Flores to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville, where he was declared dead, the sheriff's office said. The passenger was also taken to Condell Medical Center.
Four sheriff's police deputies who entered the water to make the rescue were treated on the scene, the sheriff's office said.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Drexel University's College of Engineering has selected James F. Albaugh, the president and chief executive officer of Boeing Commercial Airplanes and executive vice president of The Boeing Company, as Drexel's 2012 Engineering Leader of the Year. Albaugh, who joins a prestigious group of engineering luminaries who have received the honor, will be presented with the award at a luncheon ceremony on Wednesday, June 27.
Drexel University researchers have found that the climate conditions at a major leatherback turtle nesting beach affects the early survival of turtle eggs and hatchlings. They predict, based on projections from multiple models, that egg and hatchling survival will drop by half in the next 100 years as a result of global climate change.
For most students getting a quick overview of all events taking place around campus in one single place at a tap of their smartphone, seems almost impossible. Involvio, a new website and app developed by a group of Drexel students led by Ari Winkleman, a senior graduating in June from Drexel's LeBow College of Business, not only makes it possible for students to view all events on campus at any particular time, but—as an added bonus—enables students to link Involvio directly with their Facebook accounts to see how many of their friends are attending each event.
The Albert Schweitzer Fellowship recently selected three Drexel University College of Medicine students as Greater Philadelphia Schweitzer Fellows for 2012-13.
