Vagner and her administrative team agreed with some of IPA's recommendations, outlined in a memorandum distributed at Tuesday's meeting, such as establishing incident reports to document harassment.
IPA maintains that Indian students often experience harassment to the point where they physically retaliate, which then results in disciplinary action against them. Students then form the perception that school officials remain unsympathetic to allegations of discrimination.
However, another of IPA's major concerns is the district's policy, meant as punishment, of not allowing students on out-of-school suspension to make up missed assignments.
Robideau says some students see a few days without homework assignments as a vacation rather than a punishment, but the larger problem is how behind they are when they return to school. This, IPA says, directly contributes to the drop-out rate.
Vagner's memo detailed how the school district is not prepared to make any changes in out-of-school suspension at this time, adding that it would require extensive study by a committee made up of staff members, administrators, students and parents.
"The tools available to staff and administration are very limited in terms of actual consequences," the district's memo reads, "and denial of credit for academic work while suspended does seem to have an impact on a student."
The district also agreed to add the phrase "to understand and appreciate ethnic and cultural diversity" to its already existing eight "dimensions" to basic quality education. As far as recruiting minority teachers goes, administrators asked IPA to provide the personnel department with information regarding higher learning institutions "that prepare teachers of Indian origin," though Robideau pointed out Native Americans aren't the only minority IPA had in mind.
While IPA is pleased that some of their concerns have been addressed, overall they feel more can be done.
"It's pretty loose," IPA's Nina Cramer says of the district administrator's response as a whole. "We hoped for more concrete answers. They haven't been very specific."
Vagner's response will be distributed to school board members, who will vote on it this Tuesday, Oct. 26.

Part # HP50TA
The Ideal Heat Pump for Maintaining the Perfect Water Temperature. Don't let cool water temperatures limit your pool or spa use.
High-performance, energy efficient Hayward® HeatPro® heat pumps quietly and economically maintain your ideal water temperature at all times. They even let you start your swim season earlier and end it later — all while consuming less energy than natural gas heaters and lowering your operating costs by up to 80 percent.
The Hayward HeatPro Series of heat pumps offers an alternative to your pool heating options. With its unique Titanium Heat Exchanger, HeatPro heat pumps heat pool water more efficiently for a fraction of the cost of gas. Depending upon individual use and application of your pool, a heat pump may be right for you.
Hayward HeatPro heat pumps incorporate titanium counterflow heat exchangers for unrivaled and uncompromising performance – even under the harshest conditions. Other key features include: An Ultra Gold corrosion-resistant evaporator fin for increased durability in coastal environments; heavyduty super-quiet scroll compressors; durable injection-molded UV-resistant body panels that are impervious to rust and deterioration; stainless steel hardware; and a polyethylene screen to protect the evaporator coil from damage. Plus Hayward HeatPro heat pumps are lightweight, compact and easy to install or service, making them ideal for both new pools and spas and existing system upgrades.
I got extra solar panels installed on my home. Now I debate getting an electric heater vs a solar pool system. My pool is 45 ft by 15 ft - not sure of the gallons. It has 40% 3 ft and 60% 6 to 8 ft. What is the right system for me.
I have a 10,000 gal aboveground pool. I set the heat pump on 82 degrees and the next morning the pool had reached that temperature. I have not seen it come on since but I know it has. My electric bill has not hardly changed in the last two months. Hope this was beneficial.
Depends on your geography, but you should go with the larger unit. I'm in the NorthEast with an 18ft (8500gal.) round in partial sun and the 50k unit keeps my pool heated well when temps are above 80, but takes awhile to heat a few degrees when its less than that.
will this heat pump heat a pool 27x52 above ground ?
Hi Jackie, I would suggest the Hayward 95,000 BTU heat pump for a 27' round pool.
Hi, I see in some configurations that there are Check Valves installed. Are they required? If so, what is the purpose. Thank you
Hi Vincent, If you have an pool chlorinator then we suggest a check valve, as when your pump turns off that highly concentrated chlorine from the chlorinator has a tendancy to back flow and sit on the Heat Pumps heat exchanger. The check valve prevents this from occuring and prolongs the heat exchanger.
using no. 8 wire does it take two hots and a ground or 2 hots and neutral from the panel box.
Hi, Little. This unit requires two hot and a ground. The electrical has to be done by a licensed electrician in order to maintain the manufacturer warranty.
I keep getting the flo error... it's new filter and plenty of water flowing... could the pump possibly just not be powerful enough for the amount of water flow that's needed. It's an intex 12x24 above ground..
Hello, depending on what type of pump you have would really show if you have enough flow on it. How old is your unit? It would also depend on your feet of head on getting enough flow in your heat pump.
Hi, I am getting a 9K Gal fiberglass in-ground pool that includes a small built in spa with spill over. My two options for Heat pumps are this model and the bigger HP21404T. I want to know if for this size pool and my area is it worth spending the extra money to get the bigger pump or will this one do fine?Also can this heat pump be set up to work the spa independently of the pool? Meaning can I have the spa at 100 deg and the pool at 85 with this one pump? I will have an aqua plus T9 salt too
I would not recommend one smaller than the 95,000 BTU model, HP21004T.
current and voltage requirements
Hi, A 20-30 Amp 230 volt breaker is required.
How long will this take to heat my 10k in ground pool 8 degrees?
Good morning Abby, One of are customers wrote.Great product. Works the first time turn it on. Heat the 12x24 pool in 8 hours from 60F to 85F in combination with solar heater. Recommnend for small swimming pool less than 13,000 gallons. The price is lower compare to other brands. Easy set up and installation. Very quiet. I would say it would take 4-6hours
will this heater heat my 17000 gal. in ground pool
Hello, you might want to use a Hayward Heat Pro Heat Pump 95,000 BTU - HP21004T for 17k pool.
I usually take my filter and pump inside for the winter, would it damage the heat pump to leave it outside during the winter? If not, should I drain the water? Is there a cover for the Heat Pump?
Hi Sam, Yes, you can leave the heat pump outside during the winter, you will have to winterize it which will require draining the water out of the unit. You can also use a Pool Heat Pump Cover.
I see that your model HP50HA must be installed above the level of the pool water. Does this unit have the same requirement? I have a 15 Ft Dia above ground pool (5,280 gallons) in Allentown PA. The pump and filter are at the same level as the bottom of the pool. I need to decide between the two units, please advise
That unit will work with all above grove pools.
Can this be used with Intex hard sided above ground pools?
Yes, that'll work with all above ground pools.
How many electric amps to run 50'000 heat pump
Recommended Breaker Size for this unit is a 30 amp.
Does it have 1 1/2 in. fittings for hookup?
This unit comes with 2" plumbing connections and you would need to purchase a standard 1-1/2" x 2" reducer bushing at your local hardware store for 1-1/2" plumbing.
What size of electrics heat pump would I need for a 28ft above ground pool
Hi Pam, This 50K Heat Pump is sufficient for a 28ft above ground pool. If you want to heat your pool faster you can go with the HP21004T unit
Is there a minimum flow rate GPH/GPM required for using this heat pump? My flow rate is about 37GPH. Thanks!
Hello Jason, A flow rate of 30-75 gpm is the optimal flow rate needed in order for this unit to operate efficiently.
Can I plug this into a 220 line
Hi Lucia. The HP50TA is designed to run on 220V.
is a 20 amp breaker sufficient ?
Yes a 20 amp breaker will be sufficient.
What is the optimal gpm through this heat pump for it to operate efficiently? I know the range is 30 to 75 gpm.
Hi Lou, A flow rate of 30-75 gpm is the optimal flow rate needed in order for this unit to operate efficiently.
Darrell- There is not cord that comes with this unit. You would get an electrical whip to connect from your 20 amp breaker to this unit.
Is there a security lock on the control panel so that my kids wont massing with it? If no, do you have a model that has that feature?
Hi Tony, This unit does not have a screen lock feature, the HP50HA does have a screen lock feature.
hi, i have a 11000 gallon above ground pool. i am in new jersey. would this work for me?
Hi Tony, This unit will work to heat your 11,000 gallon pool.
Would this heater work on a 15x30 above ground pool or do we need higher btu's? Thanks for your feedback.
Hi, This unit can be used to heat a 15'x30' above ground pool, however you can choose a unit with a higher BTU which will heat the pool faster.
We have an above ground pool. It is a round 18'X54" deep. We live in central Iowa. I am wondering if this heat pump would be big enough to warm our water up to 85 degrees in early June and again for the month of September?
Any size heat will get the water to a desired temp. It just matters what the ambient temperature is, the humidity and what kind of heat retention you have in place. The higher the BTU's , the faster it gets to where you want. The warmer and more humid , the better these work. Also, a solar blanket, either a rolled out blanket or liquid blanket would fight the evaporation which is where your heat loss would occur.
What does PC mean when flashing
Water temperature probe is short circuited or may be defective., this will need a service tech to be called to fix it.
Other than the orientation of the unit, what is the difference between this one and the HP50HA? I see they both are 50k BTU, but does one have more or different features than the other?
Hi,Other than the orientation on the unit the HP50HA model has a cooling mode to lower pool temperature and has 1-1/2" port for plumbing connections and the HP50TA does not have a cooling mode but has 2" port for plumbing connections. Other than the orientation on the unit
Can this unit be used on a small in-ground pool?
Hello Melissa, Yes this Heat Pump Pool Size:Up to 13,000 gal. and only requires a breaker Circuit Amps20
I have a 21 Ft round above ground pool, I live about 50 Miles north of NYC, would this Hayward 50K Heat Pro suffice?
During the warmer months out of the year I woud say yes but you would be using this unit basically at it's maximum capacity. I woud recommend using model HP21004T that you can view here, giving you more play room.
Would this product be good for just heating an in ground spa? Not really interested in heating the inground pool. Current Jandy went "toes up".
You can use the Hayward Heat Pro Heat Pump 50k BTU Digital Display Above Ground Pool on an in ground spa. Depending on the outside temperature and the water temperature you will have to turn on the heater a few hours before you want to use the spa versus a gas heater.
I live on long island. Is this heat pump good enough for a 12'x24'?
Daryll - Depends on how long a season you want. If you want to extend into April and Octorber, you will need a larger heat pump like Raypak's 3350ti [68K BTUs] or their 4350ti [85K BTUs]. The Hayward 50K BTU heat pump would only maintain heat through part of May and September.
is recommended to use pvc piping when installing plumbing or can a thick hose be used
Hi Kelly, PVC piping would be recommended over flex hose, the hose gets to soft when applied directly after the heater.
Is it okay to have a timer on your pool filter/pump, and have the heater on with the flo message shown or does that mess with the heater?
No this can cause damanged to the heater. Possible causes: - The filter is in backwash position. - The filter pump is stopped. - The fi lter is dirty. - Shortage of water to pool pump. - Water pressure switch must be adjusted or it is broken
would this heater heat a 24 round above ground pool thanks
Hi Mark, Since you are in a warmer climate like Georgia then this heat pump would be good for a 24' round pool. If you were up in the northeast I would suggest going up to a larger unit like the Hayward 95,000 BTU Heat Pump.
Does your pool filter have to be ON, at the time your heater is working?
Yes, your pump has to be circulation the water through the Heat Pump in order for the Heat Pump to be able to Heat the pool.
Does this need a 30 amp breaker or a 20 amp?
We would recommend a 30 amp breaker for this heat pump.
We just purchased the Hayward HP50TA Heat Pump, along with a 1/2 lb. check valve, as we use an in-line chlorine distributor. In reading the literature that came with the heater, it specifies a 1/3 lb. check valve. Is it going to be a problem if I use the 1/2 lb., or do I need to exchange it for the 1/3 lb.?
Joe, Using the 1/2lb check valve should not be an issue as long as your pump can generate the proper GPM to open that check valve.
i have a 30 ft x 15 ft. above ground pool. what size heat pump would be effective for my pool.? the pool is 56 inches deep.
We would recommend the Hayward HP21004T. This is the 95K BTU heat pump.
Is this heat pump compatible with salt water pool? Are there any service providers in the Philadelphia area for warranty work?
Tom, This unit has a Titanium Heat Exchanger which will make it great to use on a salt water pool. You'll have to contact Hayward Pool Products to find out who they have in your area.
How much current does this heat pump generate?
Hello Doug, The circuit amps for the HP50TA is 20 A.
Do the heat pumps have to be filled with any type of refrigerant before use?
Hello, you will not need to fill the heat pump with any refrigerant before use. You will simply need to plumb the unit in and connect the electric.
Can this heat pump be used on a in-ground pool as well?
Stan, The HP50TA can be used on small in ground pools.
When this heater is installed, is there a required distance it needs to away from the pool?
A minimum clearance of 72 inches should be allowed above the unit for unrestricted air discharge. The unit must not be installed under a porch. Any side of the unit should be located at least 24 inches from a wall or from any other obstruction for unrestricted air intake and service access.
The photo of the pool pump located at the top of the page is different than the photo in the Description tab below it. Which is the correct photo? Do you have the exact dimensions for this heater (length, width, height)?
The HP50TA is listed as a square heat pump. The dimensions are as follows: Width x Depth: 30¼" x 34"Height: 29".
Is the refrigerant in Hayward heat pumps environmentally safe?
Yes. Hayward uses R-410A refrigerant in all their heat pumps.
Can a heat pump be installed under a deck?
No. Any installation that causes the air being discharged from the top of the heat pump to be recirculated back into the heat pump will cause a loss of capacity and efficiency in the heat pump. Installation of a heat pump under a deck, or a low over hang will allow the air being discharged to be drawn back in by the heat pump.
Can a heat pump be installed indoors?
Generally no. Heat Pumps work by transferring heat from the surrounding air to the pool water. If a heat pump is installed indoors there must be a continuous supply of warm air from which the heat pump can extract heat. If you must heat the air in the room before the heat pump can extract that heat to heat the pool, there would be no benefit to the heat pump.
If I have a large pool pump will I need to have a flow meter for the heat pump?
According to Hayward their heat pumps have a flow rate range of 30 to 70 GPM, with an optimum flow rate of 45 GPM. If your pump is capable of significantly more flow than this, a flow meter is recommended to insure the flow rate is within the prescribed range.
Can this Hayward heat pump run on 115/120 volt?
Unfortunately no. The HP50TA runs on 220/240V and requires a 30 amp breaker.

We have always had the problem of our pool water being cold, we had tried the solar panels but tired of leaks pipes everywhere and having to take them down every fall. This year we made the decision to get a heat pump and what a difference, we can use our pool every day, just preset the desired temp and you're done. We love it!

Reviewed By: Joe E. from Amherst, Ohio ()
Pros: Energy Efficient with the heat pump
Cons: None
i was not sure about the type of heater should I purchase and I settled on the heat pump. The unit came super fast and was able to hookup easily with the enclosed parts with minimal additional parts required to finish hookup. After the start up the pool water was at 74 degrees and in a day and a half it had raised it to 83. Since then the unit seams to barely run and maintains the temp for our swimming comfort.

James, just cut through the BS and buy an Smith & Wesson M&P9 or 40. If you do so by the 15th of July you can send off for a free range bag and 2 extra magazines. Thats an extra $100 value. The M&P has adjustable grip sizes and I have both the 9 and 40. They work great. If for some reason you don't like it you should be able to recover most of the cost in a trade for what you do like.
Just get one and start enjoying life. :mrgreen:

Search RNA-Seq data by expression profile
The forms below can be used to query FlyBase records using the modENCODE high-throughput RNA-seq data published in Graveley et al., 2010. Results show genes for which the RNA-seq data match a user-selected expression profile.
A video tutorial for this tool can be viewed here.
search using several modENCODE expression datasets in conjunction
Join selections in the following forms for the search:
- 1 Peak expression across a group
NB: The group check box selectors are interpreted differently depending on whether you are making selections from the 'Expression ON' or 'Expression OFF' sections.
'Expression ON' selectors: Selecting multiple stages using one of the grouping check boxes acts as an 'OR'. This means that if a gene is expressed at or above the chosen expression level in any one or more of the selected stages it will be returned in the result list. To get 'AND' behavior (i.e., return only those genes which are expressed at the chosen level in each one of the selected stages) you must select each of the stages individually.
'Expression OFF' selectors: Selecting multiple stages using one of the grouping check boxes acts as an 'AND'. This means that for a gene to be returned in the result list, the observed level of expression must be at or below the selected level in all of the selected group stages. Therefore, for the 'expression OFF' selectors, checking a group check box is functionally identical to selecting each individual sub-category.

Like all good muffins, these came together super fast. All you need is a bowl (do yourself favor and use a bigger one than I did, it'll make your life much easier) and a wooden spoon, along with a bit of gold old fashioned elbow grease. You simply whisk together all the dry ingredients, make a well, and pour in the wet ingredients, along with the sugar, followed by a quick stirring of the chopped cranberries and chocolate chips. The crumb topping comes together really quickly as well, and all you have to do is mix the ingredients together in a bowl with your fingers- no spoon required! As with any muffin recipe, make sure you do NOT overmix. Lumps in your batter are perfectly ok, and are a sign that you haven't mixed your muffins to death- doing so would result in tough, rather than fluffy muffins, and no one wants that, right?
I really enjoyed the way these muffins came out, and actually thought they tasted even better the next day. The muffin has a mild, sweet flavor, and then, depending on where you bite, you'll get a bit of tart cranberry or sweet chocolate chip, and if you manage to get both into a single bite, then that's even better! The crumb topping adds a nice hint of extra buttery sweetness at the top, and is really just the perfect way to finish off the muffin (or any muffin, for that matter). The muffins are soft and fluffy, sweet and tart, and are the perfect excuse to have cake for breakfast, because, after all, isn't that why we eat muffins anyway? Enjoy!
Cranberry Chocolate Chip Crumb Muffins
muffin recipe adapted from Ina Garten; crumb topping recipe from Food & Wine
For the Muffins
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/4 cups milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped fresh cranberries
1 cup chocolate chips
For the Crumb Topping
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Begin by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F and positioning an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line muffin tins with paper liners.
In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Whisk to combine. Form a well in the dry ingredients, and add the milk, vanilla extract, eggs, melted butter, and both sugars, stirring to combine. Take care not to overmix, it's ok if there are lumps! Gently fold in the chopped cranberries and chocolate chips.
Divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin tins. To prepare the crumb topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and both sugars. Mix in the melted butter, and stir until it forms a crumble mixture. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the tops of the muffins.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Set the muffin tins on a wire rack, and let the muffins cool in the muffin tins for a few minutes before removing them from the tins and letting them cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy!
Makes just over 2 dozen muffins

Australia's answer to American Idol's William Hung has plans to release an album.
The singer known only as Flynn made his debut television performance on Australian Idol this week when the Ten Network showed him auditioning for the program.
"I have had a very busy day today," Flynn, who appears to have struck a chord with the public, said.
"I have had 17 interviews. They are asking me why I like singing and what do I feel now."
Despite failing to make it past Idol judges Marcia Hines, Mark Holden and Ian "Dicko" Dickson, the Chinese-born 18-year-old has been on the media trail since appearing on the show and is already talking about releasing an album.
"I didn't expect to get a recording deal before I went to the audition," he said.
"I just wanted to perform. My biggest wish is to be on the stage and to be honest."
He hasn't had any firm offers yet but said it was an option he was interested in pursuing.
And a Flynn album would feature songs such as Every Breath You Take and I Will Always Love You.
"I just hope people would enjoy it," he said.
Auditioning for Idol, Flynn chose to sing a cover of Michael Jackson's 80s hit Beat It.
His amusing performance led the judges to say he had plenty of energy but his voice wasn't strong enough.
"It is an easy song to express your feelings along with dance and I believed people would like it and now it has turned out they have so I am very happy," he said.
"When people see my performance and dance, they really see a strong show so people feel my feelings."
Flynn said he didn't mind being compared to William Hung who failed to make the cut on American Idol but went on to record an album along with video clips and has become a big celebrity.
"I think he is a very funny, very confident, brave guy," Flynn said.
"People feel happy when they see him so that is the point."
When not chasing his pop star ambitions, Flynn works part-time in a pizza restaurant in Melbourne and enjoys playing sports and swimming.
"I sing every day actually," he said.
Australian Idol auditions will air on Ten over the coming weeks with the finals to be held in November.

Bigger, Stronger Bulls Begin Spring Practice
By USF

By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA, FEB. 26, 2014 – What a difference a year makes.
Spring practice for USF football started in the fog early Wednesday morning at the Morsani Football Complex but it didn't take long to see significant changes in the Bulls beginning their second season under head coach Willie Taggart.
"You see a difference in our football team," Taggart said. "I see a difference in our size, our speed and I see guys running around faster. I think a big part of it is everyone knows what they're doing now. They're comfortable with each other."
Players are more familiar with the coaching staff and how they are expected to practice and the overall process of adjusting to a new way of doing things is pretty much complete for a team that wants to get back to winning as soon as possible.
"Day 1 last year no one knew anything, even coaches, trying to know where to go and where to be," Taggart said. "Players and coaches, ever since we came back from Christmas break you could sense everything was going so much smoother and crisper than in the past."
One very noticeable change in the Bulls has been their overall appearance thanks to a grueling offseason conditioning program under strength coach Hans Straub, especially on the offensive line. The average weight gain of the five returning starters up front has gone from 297 pounds to 310 since the start of last season.
"We're putting in a lot more time after our workouts. I know me and about five guys are doing an hour after every workout every day," said senior center Austin Reiter, who gained 13 pounds in offseason conditioning to get up to 286.
Other big gainers on the line have been sophomore Dominique Threatt (310 to 326), senior Darrell Williams (297 to 310) and junior Brynjar Gudmundsson (305 to 315) just to name a few.
"We want big guys," Taggart said. "We need people movers out there, big strong guys to move people out of the way so we can run the football and we can protect."
USF's progress under the watchful eye of Straub was no shock to Taggart, but fans will be pleasantly surprised at just how much stronger the Bulls are now after sticking to the plan once the 2013 season came to a close. More than 52 players set new personal records in the weight room prior to spring practice, including Reiter, who added 40-50 pounds to each of his lifts.
"It was good to see that our guys did that. It's been a different attitude with our guys and watching them," Taggart said. "Out of 79 guys we had go through workouts and our winter conditioning we had 66 guys make every last one of them. It's huge, big-time, and it says a lot about our football team."
Another big difference in the Bulls in the spring practice opener was the pace of the offense as it zipped down the field during team work. New offensive coordinator Paul Wulff hinted earlier in the offseason about the Bulls increasing their tempo at times and it was apparent during 2-minute drills on Wednesday when quarterback Mike White rushed up to the line, took a snap and found Andre Davis for an over-the-shoulder touchdown connection.
"The first day is definitely night and day from last year," White said.
"You've got guys flying around and the offense is moving like I've never seen before," senior defensive tackle Todd Chandler said. "It's amazing everyone is finally gelling with Coach Taggart's plan, it's amazing just seeing it all come together."
Taggart said USF's up-tempo approach will be used at times during the season and speeding things up will allow the Bulls to keep more defenses scrambling to identify what's headed their way.
"We need to be able to change it up when we want to," Taggart said. "There will be times when we want to slow it down, but there are other times when we want to speed it up a little bit and go a little faster. I think that helps you, especially nowadays in college football. Not necessarily that the defense is getting tired, but I think it puts a lot of pressure on a defensive coordinator to make the right call and make the call fast."
Bulked-up Bulls moving at a quicker pace on Day 1 of spring practice is important because of the fact that Taggart it sticking to the approach he presented to the team last season when it comes to competition.
"Nobody on this football team has a job, not even (Groza Award finalist) Marvin Kloss. Nobody has a job, it's highly competitive," he said. "We can't do this to our football program and we can't do this to our university just to give guys anything. Everybody is going to earn it and that's how we're going to get better as a football team.
"Everybody is going to be highly competitive and they can't take a day off because that guy behind me is good enough to take my job, and Coach is going to allow him to do that if I allow him to do that," Taggart added. "That's at every position, and I think that's what's going to be fun about this spring is having a little more competition at positions, even up front."
USF Fans Welcome to Attend Six Spring Practices
Fans won't have to wait for the spring game on March 29 at Raymond James Stadium to see the new and improved Bulls. Taggart will open six practices to the public this spring on Friday and Saturdays through the first four weeks.
"When USF started football here, and we had a lot of success when we started football here, that just didn't happen by the coaches and the players. That happened with our entire community," Taggart said. "This entire football community was behind this football team and we got rolling. I kind of see that's where we're at with this football team, we need everybody behind us to get this thing right and make it how we want it to be."
The first open practice of the spring is this Friday from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at the Frank Morsani Football Complex. Other dates open to the public are Saturday, March 1 (3 p.m.), Friday, March 7 (8:30 a.m.), Saturday, March 9 (3 p.m.), Friday, March 21 (8:30 a.m.) and Saturday, March 22 (3 p.m.).
"We have to get our community behind us and I think that's one way of doing it, allowing them to come out and see the team we want them all to get behind," Taggart said. "It's their team, too, and hopefully our community takes it as a challenge."
Blame No One! Do Something! Make No Excuses!
The team trotted out from the locker room through the fog early Wednesday morning and was greeted with a nice surprise on the fences surrounding the Frank Morsani Football Practice Complex.
USF had added logos and some of Coach Taggart's favorite motivational slogans on large signage along the complex's fences for every player to see at practice. Signs proclaiming "Blame No One!" "Do Something!" and "Make No Excuses!" joined USF Football banners to make the complex feel more like the Bulls home.
"I told them whenever they want to make an excuse or blame someone else just look at the signs as a reminder," Taggart said. "We don't do that around here, we've got to do something."
White said his favorite saying on the fences is "Make No Excuse!," after the team saw the signage for the first time Wednesday.
"When we finally got out here we saw it, it actually got us a little excited," he said. "We have no more excuses now, it's go time."
There's a New No. 7
Fans have grown accustomed to seeing senior receiver Andre Davis making highlight-reel catches wearing No. 81, but they'll have to get used to No. 7 from now on.
"I kind of wanted to go back to my old ways and my favorite number, so I just wanted to go back and get it," Davis said.
Davis wore No. 7 before becoming a Bull at Jefferson High School in Tampa while putting up some huge numbers on the stat sheet. The All-America honorable mention and three-time all-state selection posted 164 receptions for 3,158 yards and 40 touchdowns during his three-year career.
Davis enters his senior season with 1,542 yards and 117 catches on his career, needing just 107 yards and 15 receptions to become the Bulls' all-time leader in both categories.
Injury Update
Senior linebacker Reshard Cliett (Thomasville, Ga.) had shoulder surgery during the break and is expected to miss spring practice, but Taggart isn't so sure yet at this point.
"He's way ahead of rehab right now with the way he's been running with our football team and doing things," Taggart said. "We really don't anticipate him being out there, but the way he's been working, we heal differently, he might surprise us."
Other Bulls expected to be out this spring are freshman cornerback Devin Abraham (shoulder), sophomore tight end Guito Ervilus (knee), senior offensive lineman Jake Kaufman (knee) and senior linebacker Hans Louis (knee). Sophomore fullback Tye Turner is out with a neck injury and his status remains uncertain at this point.
Quote of the Day
"We're all coming out here with a positive mindset and a positive attitude like I've never seen before going on my fifth season. Everyone is coming out smiling, running round and flying around talking. There is no negative energy out here." – defensive tackle Todd Chandler.

Chin is fluent in Chinese.
(Looking at the crime scene at the Wilson's home)
Danny: Love and hate, two sides of the same coin. That's why they call it a crime of passion. You know a martial spat escalades; just like that he snaps. He goes from heads to tails. First he just wants to make her suffer a little bit. Wife ends up dead.
Chin: How long were you married?
Danny: It's just a theory.
Steve: You don't swim.
Danny: I don't- I don't swim… I swim very well, actually. I just choose not to.
Steve: Yeah, yeah, yeah…
Ed: You, talking to your wife?
Steve: I'm talking to my partner.
Steve: You okay?
Ed: Getting shot hurts.
Steve: What were you thinking?
Ed: Well, leave no man behind.
Steve: Is that right. Well you're crazier than I thought.
Ed: I figured you'd want your things back.
Steve: How'd you get past Graham without him seeing you?
Ed: Well, I know things about this ship that aren't on your map.
Steve: I thought I told you to stay put.
Ed: I'm an old man. I don't always hear so good.
Danny: Graham's psychiatrist said that he's been experiencing blackouts, which means he may have killed his wife without realizing it.
Steve: No, it doesn't make sense.
Danny: How does that not make sense? How does that not make sense to you? I mean the guy fled the crime scene with the murder weapon in his hand. I mean I'm no detective, wait a minute! Where am I? Oh, I'm a detective! He's still our prime suspect!
Kono: I'm gonna go see the kid, see if she knows anything. Because, you know, I'm the woman on the team and you'd probably ask me to do it anyway.
Danny: No no, it's not because you're a woman. It's because you're a rookie, which is way worse.
Steve: Listen I'm gonna have my phone on me, but don't call me, I'll call you.
Kono: Bet you've used that line before. (Leaves)
Steve; I'll initiate contact once I'm in a secure location.
Chin: That one too.
Danny: (To Steve as he walks away) Good luck, Aquaman.
Danny: Okay, um, let's say I am you, and you are the bad guy here. I would know that all the ways onto the ship are visible somehow, so how would you outsmart yourself and get yourself onto that ship, without yourself seeing... yourself?
Steve: Okay, was that an actual attempt at a question, or are you just kinda throwing words at each other and hoping they make sense?
Danny: How you gonna get to the ship without Graham seeing you?
Steve: Graham's expecting a threat from land, not from the water. I'm going to go for a swim.
Danny: You're just gonna for a swim. You're serious? (Steve takes his shirt off) And now you're shirtless. That's great.
Steve: Believe it or not, I've done this before.
Danny: You've done this before? You've - you've snuck onto a floating museum to rescue a bunch of tourists being held captive by a man who is accused of killing his wife?

Hannity falsely referred to Republican resolution as the "Murtha amendment"
Research ››› ››› JOSH KALVEN
On both his television and radio show, Fox News host Sean Hannity referred to a congressional resolution calling for the immediate termination of U.S. troop deployment in Iraq as the "Murtha amendment." But the resolution in question was not sponsored by Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA). While Murtha had introduced a detailed measure that called for the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq "at the earliest practicable date," his resolution bore little resemblance to the Republican-sponsored measure Hannity was discussing. This one-sentence resolution -- described in news reports as a "political trap" and "aimed at embarrassing war critics" -- simply ordered "that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."
Further, Wall Street Journal OpinionJournal.com editor James Taranto falsely wrote that the House of Representatives had voted "on Rep. John Murtha's proposal for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq." In fact, only the GOP measure, sponsored by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA), reached a vote in the House.
On November 17, Murtha announced House Joint Resolution 73, a measure that, if approved, would force the president to withdraw American troops from Iraq "at the earliest practicable date." He explained the measure at a press conference that day:
MURTHA: My plan calls for immediate redeployment of U.S. troops consistent with the safety of U.S. forces to create a quick reaction force in the region, to create an over-the-horizon presence of Marines, and to diplomatically pursue security and stability in Iraq.
Murtha's resolution also set out facts on the cost of the war, the number of American casualties and polling data regarding Iraqi sentiment toward the U.S. military presence in Iraq.
Murtha's proposal immediately triggered heated responses from the White House and Republican lawmakers. On November 18, Hunter responded with the introduction of House Resolution 571, which simply read:
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately.
An Associated Press article published November 18 described the difference between the two measures:
Murtha offered a resolution that would force the president to withdraw the nearly 160,000 troops in Iraq "at the earliest practicable date." It would establish a quick-reaction force and a nearby presence of Marines in the region. It also said the U.S. must pursue stability in Iraq through diplomacy.
But House Republicans planned to put to a vote -- and reject -- their own symbolic alternative resolution that simply said: "It is the sense of the House of Representatives that the deployment of United States forces in Iraq be terminated immediately."
With stinging rhetoric, Democrats criticized the GOP alternative. They said House Republican leaders killed Murtha's thoughtful approach.
On the November 18 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Rep. Bob Filner (D-CA) criticized the Republican resolution as a departure from Murtha's "thoughtful approach":
FILNER: But, you know, Alan [Colmes, co-host], I think you know and you have called for a real debate in Congress on what is going on in Iraq on this failed policy, on the lies that got us into Iraq, on what has been going on since. And, you know, has this all this thing been worth the 2,000 American lives, the very best and bravest of us? We need this debate.
But what the Republicans have done is a phony debate, a cynical debate, a divisive debate. They had the chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Duncan Hunter, draw up a one-line resolution, saying we want the immediate deployment -- immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops, a resolution by the way, [Rep.] J.D. [Hayworth (R-AZ)], that went all over the world on the Internet that probably did more harms to our troops than anything else.
They prostituted Mr. Murtha's very thoughtful approach to the end of the deployment of American troops. So this debate is needed. But on the terms that the Republicans did it, is a disgrace to the American troops. It is a disgrace to this Congress.
In a floor statement prior to the vote, Murtha said of Hunter's proposal, "This resolution is not what I envisioned, not what I introduced."
Nonetheless, Hannity proceeded to refer to the measure as "Murtha's amendment":
HANNITY: And we are awaiting momentarily now, a vote in Congress over the latest battle in Iraq and whether or not Democrats support the Murtha amendment, which is to bring the troops home.
Earlier that day, during an interview with Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) on ABC Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show, Hannity also described the resolution as the "Murtha amendment":
HANNITY: The Iranian President, Congressman Rangel, said he wanted to wipe Israel from the face of the earth and defeat Anglo-Saxons. Will he perceive a vote, if the Murtha amendment passes, as weakness? As surrender? The House ultimately defeated Hunter's resolution 403-3.
Taranto similarly obscured the differences between Murtha and Hunter's separate proposals. His November 21 "Best of the Web" column included the headline: "Murtha balks at his own proposal." In the section that followed, Taranto made no distinction between Murtha's resolution, which never reached a vote in the House, and Hunter's measure, which did:
Late Friday night the House took a vote on Rep. John Murtha's proposal for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. The vote was 403-3 against, with Murtha among the 403. The only congressmen favoring Murtha's idea were three far-left Democrats: Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, Jose Serrano of New York and Robert Wexler of Florida. Six Dems voted "present": Michael Capuano (Mass.), William Clay (Mo.), Maurice Hinchey (N.Y.), Jim McDermott (Wash.), Jerrold Nadler (N.Y.) and Major Owens (N.Y.).
Some Republicans have labeled Murtha a "coward," which strikes us as unduly personal. But he does seem to lack the courage of his convictions.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
With the Olympic Break setting in, and Ryan Miller having looked pretty good against Switzerland (Go USA! Boo Federer!), plenty of NHL players are getting a much needed rest before play resumes, while others are getting a chance to test their mettle in the international arena. Even with a shortened week, we've seen plenty of action in the NHL.
The Capitals, after a 14-game winning streak, have a three-game losing streak. The Blackhawks have won four to make up much ground between themselves, San Jose, and Washington. After sweeping a four-game road trip, the Bruins have moved back into 7th place, with plenty of time to move up the rankings and possibly even re-challenge for the division, provided Tuukka Rask stays in goal.
The playoff picture is trying to stabilize, but at this point, both #11 teams are one win away from tying the #8s. Even the West's #13 (Wild) would be #8 in the East; just something I've noticed (the NBA's the same way). With three of six divisions currently decided by one point or less, let's look at what would happen if the playoffs started as of Tuesday, February 16:
Both teams are balanced at home and away, and on defense, but the thing is the Sharks have been able to score a lot more goals, and convert that into a lot more wins. The Sharks still have the Blackhawks and Captials to contend with for the President's Trophy, but have a clear hold on their division. The Flames still have to hold off the Stars and Red Wings. And Ducks. And Blues. And Wild. The Blue Jackets are probably too far gone.
This one is even more of a mismatch. Both teams are still balanced, but Nashville not only scores less, but gives up more. Tied for an NHL-best 23 home wins and 41 overall wins, and having won their last four, Chicago should take out Nashville rather easily.
Both teams are tied after 61 games, but Vancouver has two more wins while Colorado has four more overtime losses. Vancouver has done slightly better in the scoring/defending category, and each team is much better at home. All things together point to Vancouver winning a lengthy series.
Los Angeles trails by one point, but has played two less games. They've also got a scoring edge, and have given up only slightly more than Phoenix. Still, each team should do a little better at home. But over four games, that advantage probably won't hold perfectly. As a result, Phoenix is favored, but only slightly. Basically, it'll be the NHL's version of last year's Hawks/Heat NBA match-up.
If Montreal is to have any hope, they'll have to force Washington's troubles into continuing. In fact, Montreal was the team that broke the Capitals' win streak, 6-5 in OT. But Washington still has better home and away records, and has scored many, many more goals. Washington should snap back on track, especially since opponents can't keep up the high scoring affairs like the Capitals can.
Even the great Brodeur is 3-5-2 in his last 10. Meanwhile, the Bruins are 4-3-3, including their four-game road trip winning streak. They'll need that in New Jersey. Their 11 overtime losses show they can at least hang in there, and both teams have been playing well enough defense to be able to hold each other off well enough. We'll see if Brodeur can pick himself up with Team Canada, and if Thomas can re-wrestle away Rask's rightful stating job while with Team U.S.A.
On the surface, this one looks worse than it is. The Senators have a nine-point lead, but have played three more games. Philadelphia has won their last four, and has a 19 to -1 goal differential. Ottawa is 8-2-0 in their last 10, but those two losses have come to Toronto and Detroit, two teams not even in the brackets. Ottawa is favored, but the Flyers have the tools to make a run of it.
Buffalo has been a little better at home, while the Penguins have been good in or out of Pittsburgh. Both teams are similar in goal differential, but Pittsburgh has done it by sacrificing defense for offense. If Buffalo can keep up the defense, they could pull this off. Of course, with both teams one point away from their division leaders, they'll both be a little distracted trying to picking up the #2 and #3 spots.

Occupy wallstreet can be a bitch sometimes. I've been to few places that were super organized & a few that were really shitty & have terrible people in them.
Gracias capo!
There's a movie 'Whiffs' where a similar trick is featured, using an airplane to blow nerve gas back on the people who set it off. The movie's great comedy…

The OP of this thread: http://www.*****************/showthr...t=68721&page=2 seems to believe it possible to set up infrastructure instead of adhoc wireless hotspots from a 3GS. I currently use pdanet but they do not support infrastructure on 3GS. So far as I can tell no one has done anything to allow infrastructure mode on the 3GS. I own various devices (kindle) that I would love to tether to my phone but can't because they don't support adhoc. Can anyone find a way to get pdanet infrastructure to win on iPhone 3GS? Preferably pdanet because tethering is harder for your carrier to detect.
As URL was sensored I will post the OPs posts:
I have been fiddling around with the Personal Hotspot feature on the iPhone 3GS. First i ran a comparison of the 4.3 firmwares contents for the iPhone 4 vs. iPhone 3GS.
I noted one difference in the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hostapd and the daemon itself /usr/libexec/hostapd. The files only exist on iPhone 4.
Hostapd is the daemon responsible for making the iphone into an wifi accesspoint/router, together with misd(mobile internet sharing daemon). And i even see misd reporting that 5 wireless clients may connect(on the 3GS with the files copied in)
What i also noticed is the WLAN firmware itself. I took the default.bin(this is the wlan firmware which you can find in /usr/share/firmware/wifi/43xxxx) from 4.0GM and also 4.1GM which enables AP mode on the 3GS. By using the WLAN firmware from the older iphone firmwares i get a virtual interface called ap0 on 4.3.
The firmware seems to enable AP mode but im not sure if it is fully supported still, but i'm going to continue working on this but wanted to let other people interested in this know that it might be possible to get the WiFi Personal Hotspot on a 3GS.
I'm going to post more on this, but hopefully there will be others interested in getting this feature to the 3GS. So if you find anything of interest please do inform me.
Sorry for not updating, i got myself a Android phone. However you do not need a iPhone 4, you can just download the IPSW and vfdecrypt/extract it to get hold of the files for any device that has the vfdecrypt keys available. Anyway i didn't make any further progress because i couldn't find a STA/AP firmware for the iPhone with the bcm4325 chipset. The AP firmware is loaded when WiFi tethering is enabled and the STA firmware is loaded when the phone should act as a client. So even though the bcm4325 chipset supports infrastructure mode i most likely wouldn't get this working unless there is a firmware with support on some other iDevice.
The reason i'm here in this iPhone forum is because i was looking for a iPhone 4S IPSW dump or vfdecrypt keys. I wanted to go ahead and port SIRI to the 3GS. It's probably not that hard after i get a full dump of the 4S or vfdecrypt key to extract the IPSW myself.

39 PB GSD's in DURHAM NY
WNYT.com - German Shepherds seized in Greene County available for adoption
The Columbia-Greene Humane Society and the Greene County Sheriff's Office removed 39 German Shepherd dogs and one cat from homes at 596 Morrison Road and 221 Hervey-Sunside Road.
The dogs were found living in such horrible conditions that investigators say the smell made their eyes water.
If you are interested in adopting the dogs, call the shelter at (518) 828-6044.
Dawn Verdeschi, 44, has been charged with animal cruelty.
A second suspect, Christopher Cella, 55, of Durham is wanted for questioning.
Anyone who knows of Cellas whereabouts is asked to call Greene County Sheriffs Department at (518) 943-3300.
The shelter should verify OWNERSHIP! before placing any of those dogs. There may be some co-ownerships/dogs there on breeding contracts...they are not checking microchip information either, after several requests to do so. I don't understand why they are adopting them out so quickly....most shelters will at least have a screening process with a wait period before selling dogs.
There is one person in the Netherlands that has a male stud dog in this mess....she cannot even get anyone to help her get her dog back!
This is really weird because _I don't know a lot about situations like this but I thought usually they had to wait until the court case was done before placing the dogs
I agree. Why are they adopting them out so soon? Has any testing or vet care been provided? How would they know if these dogs are even suitable for adoption?
The person running the shelter is also a gsd breeder......interesting.
How can it be that the stud dog's owner can't get her dog back?! What BS is that?!
I believe that is in the process- however... This post is not to stir the pot.... if there are animals to be placed- folks that (might ) be interested need to be fully prepared to act fast- There is only so much ANY shelter can handle- be the ACO a GSD breeder or not. The conditions were deplorable- once ownership/ contract issues are settled, these dogs (bottom line) need to move to foster/ adoption fast- There is pony so much space that ANY shelter can afford.
People need to KNOW about it in order to ACT upon it.
Crazy!! Ugh E-mails should be screened to find out if owners are trying to get their dogs back. I watched the news footage on this. Deplorable!!!
Not all shelters have the resources to vet and test dogs. I would assume they had a quick look over, no obvious temperament issues, and ok'd to adopt out.
ok that makes sense

Well - since I shipped the family off to out-of-town locales and stuck around town - I spend the day BONDO'ing the crap out of this fiberglass bucket's numerous flaws and the primary dent (sorry - my custom isn't going to be dented) I picked up on e-bay to use as my lid until I get my metal one... and I think it's finally ready for primer'ing.
Wish me luck all... because once the bucket gets primered sucessfully - the primary armor is right behind it. And Monday I'm picking up a sheet of Sintra so I can start on my leg armor, extra armor pieces, gauntlets, and jet pack.
Today marked my offical date I consider my clock to begin icking for getting the costume done.
I've got approximately 5 months... so its time to start kicking ass.

Romesco Sauce
For an especially silky version of this classic Spanish sauce, use salted, fried marcona almonds, which are generally available at cheese shops and specialty food stores, in place of the roasted, blanched almonds.
Plus: Ultimate Holiday Guide
Slideshow: Great Condiment Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: makes about 4 cups
- 4 ancho chiles (1 1/2 ounces), stems discarded
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- One 1-inch-thick slice country bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 1 cup)
- 8 garlic cloves, smashed
- 1 cup roasted, blanched, unsalted almonds
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 large plum tomatoes—halved, seeded and very coarsely chopped
- One 7-ounce jar piquillo peppers, drained, or 1 cup drained roasted red bell peppers from a jar, tossed with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
How to make this recipe
Put the ancho chiles in a small heatproof bowl. Add the boiling water and let stand until the chiles are softened, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a small skillet. Add the bread cubes and cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the toasted bread cubes to a plate and let cool.
Drain the ancho chiles, reserving 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid. Using a sharp paring knife, slit the chiles and remove the seeds. Transfer the chiles to a food processor. Add the reserved chile-soaking liquid and process until pureed. Strain the chile puree through a fine sieve set over a bowl.
In the food processor, combine the garlic with the almonds, coriander and cumin. Add the bread cubes and process until finely chopped. Add the ancho chile puree, tomatoes and piquillo peppers and process until smooth. With the machine on, slowly add the remaining 1 cup of extra-virgin olive oil and process until smooth. Season the romesco sauce with salt and scrape into a bowl.
Make Ahead
The romesco sauce can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Romesco is a classic garlicky tomato and red pepper sauce from Catalonia region of Spain that can be used much like a pesto: brushed on grilled meats and vegetables, tossed with pasta and stirred into stews. It also makes a lovely sandwich spread.

50 Colorful, Cozy Spaces
Take comfort with these easy decorating tips to stay beach-weather warm even as the temperature begins to drop.
An earthy orange gives just the right color boost to charcoal gray, sky-blue stripes, and sheer curtains. The tree bark pattern on the walls brings the outdoors inside while adding subtle dimension.
A white modular sofa against neutral walls keeps this vintage-style room warm and inviting. A blend of midcentury-inspired art, fabrics, and furnishings provides the ultimate laid-back atmosphere.
Floor-to-ceiling built-in shelves let the nesting process reach new heights. Nautical fishing floats in emerald hues pop when placed next to antique-finished basins and pottery.
Natural tones and a muted color palette create a peaceful sanctuary, allowing a breathtaking view to take center stage. An exposed wooden ceiling adds rustic warmth.
Details such as a metal washbasin and straw hat lend sunny country appeal to a room decked in sleek, modern lines. Eclectic finds such as hanging lights and a vintage postcard collection keep the space inviting and inspiring.
A cushy Ultrasuede sectional and piles of pillows next to low, built-in shelves make this a perfect spot for curling up with a good read. Add vintage charm by displaying a favorite collection, such as antique globes and maps.
A monochromatic color scheme makes a bold statement. Keep walls white and incorporate your color through furniture, lighting, and accessories. A bold focal point, such as a piece of abstract art, adds interest.
Easy-to-clean linen slipcovers in sandy tones keep this room casual and inviting. Oranges and natural wood make it the perfect spot to put your feet up at the end of a chilly day.
This designer used a classic print on window treatments to create traditional coziness. Gentle blues are warmed by natural light from wraparound windows, making this nook the ideal daydreaming spot.
As if this electric-hued couch weren't enough to do the trick, homeowners installed a radiant heat system under the floors to keep their space warm while cutting energy costs.
A blend of nautical knickknacks, patriotic colors, and classic plaid provide a relaxing atmosphere for good conversation in this spirited twist on a traditional colonial living room on the coast.
A painted antique bed with a sawtooth canopy in red-and-white gingham sets the wildlife tone for this bedroom. The bold color, graphic print, and geometric shape contrast with the bed's sweetness, and shiplap walls and ceilings add to the room's charm.
Use timeless patterns against modern bold ones for classic cottage charm with an updated spin. Jump from bright blues to snappy oranges by anchoring them with black and white.
Increase the charm by veering away from the traditional color wheel. Welcoming corals and golds pair nicely with calming blues and teals. Cover walls with burlap for added warmth and texture.
Nothing says sea-inspired quite like sandy hues paired with ocean blues. A natural-colored couch and linen-covered poufs provide a calming influence when matched with a vibrant rug and throw pillows.
A beachy glow permeates this living space. White denim slipcovers and bohemian-print pillows are casually inviting, while woven blinds, textured wallpaper, and driftwood and coral accents add coastal charisma.
Pair a calming, crisp color scheme with geometric antiques, such as these iron lamps and Mandarin-style coffee table. A slipcovered sofa and a sea grass rug make it a laid-back living space.
Hardwoods and distressed furniture maintain the cozy feel of this coastal cottage, while a loud throw pillow adds a smidge of modern appeal. Generous seating invites onlookers to sit and soak up the view.
Wooden armoires and an ocean-inspired color palette prove this home office is anything but boring. Waves of turquoise and lots of natural light provide a relaxing environment in which to work.
Let a room radiate originality with bold artwork and whimsical touches. These homeowners enlivened an old sofa by making it a guestbook for family and friends to sign.
Simple accessories, such as a metallic mirror, add subtle elegance to golden, grasscloth walls. An extra-wide headboard makes a glamorous statement in bright white with tailored details.
Bring country charm to your coastal look with soft blues and cool accents against classic white cabinetry.
Nothing warms a space like wall-to-wall wood paneling. A classic blue-and-while color scheme softens this dining space and keeps the wood from being overwhelming.
Add a jolt of color to a calming palette with accents and accessories. Pops of yellow on throw pillows and flowers help bring this soothing living room to life.
Neutral colors provide a relaxed backdrop for hints of color on modern furniture and fabric in this master bedroom. Light draperies allow for privacy without blocking natural light, while soft elements, such as a silk rug, beg for bare feet.
A bed swing piled with blankets and pillows issues an invitation to get comfortable and enjoy the views when there's a chill in the air. Layering fabrics and textures adds warmth that you can both see and feel.
Nothing warms up a neutral room like a quick dose of color. Introduce chairs in several different hues, then take the look a step further by adding striped or patterned fabric on throw pillows or seat cushions.
Use white to balance warmth in an all-wood space. Layers of mosquito netting add a touch of romance while still letting a room breathe. Simple throw rugs also help to soften the look.
The honeyed glow of hard and soft woods can transform a blah kitchen into a warm gathering place. Touches of a rough-hewn material such as a wooden pantry door or pine island complement the industrial look of this warehouse light fixture and stainless steel refrigerator.
Mixing elements such as pine, wicker, silver, stone, bamboo, and painted surfaces adds layers of comfort and texture to this light-filled space. Roomy slipcovered seating enhances the lived-in look.
This sunny kitchen is sunny without feeling overwhelming. "My decorating sense was influenced more by Crayola than anything else," says homeowner Sue Hoffman.
The owners of this Maine cottage used locally milled beaded board, Douglas fir beams, and richly colored Vermont slate tiles to pull together a look that's warm and welcoming.
A mix of casual upholstered furniture and antiques make this room inviting without looking overly rustic. Cypress wood walls, rocking chairs, and muted colors enhance the homey feel.
Original wood floors dressed up with a coat of paint add elegance to this cozy cottage kitchen. A refurbished English dresser-turned-island plays up the historic character; open shelving displays a mix of pottery for a punch of color.
Stick with a neutral palette of tans and whites, with an occasional punch of blue, to keep the mood serene and emphasize the views. Natural textures such as sisal rugs, hemp throws, and petrified-wood tables add interest and warmth.
Midcentury chairs freshen up the look of this antique table, and bookcases lend a library feel to this dining room, while glass French doors let the light shine in.
Fall means layers, and the designer behind this master bedroom placed an antique rug over a sea-grass one. He also kept the look interesting using subtle variations in texture while sticking with a restrained palette.
Perfect for naps or sleepovers, this loft sports a mattress made to fit around the zero-clearance chimney from the wood-burning stove below. Tiny windows allow light in and keep the space from feeling claustrophobic.
Opening shelving seems to float on a wall covered in to-die-for green tile running all the way up to the ceiling. Nautical sconces provide task lighting for the sink and counter area.
Daybeds under windows provide the perfect spot for cozying up with a book―or a mag!―or accommodating extra guests. Interior shingle-style walls add a vintage feel and suggest timeless New England life.
A built-in daybed tucked into a window niche provides a comfortable spot to relax in this inviting living room. With an ideal location by the fireplace and plenty of fluffy pillows, you might not mind the colder temperatures that keep you inside.
Wood and brick add warmth to any room, lending a relaxed, rustic feel. This tight bedroom makes the most of a small space with built-in shelves and wall hooks.
In places where the sun always shines and "fall color" is a foreign term, use throws and blankets to warm up indoor lounging. The springlike blue-and-white upholstery of this wicker chaise transforms for the fall with a matching quilt, proving that seasonal decorating doesn't have to be difficult.
A seating area by a crackling fire becomes even more inviting with the use of rich, saturated colors and heavy textures. Replace white slipcovers with reds and blues for an autumnal look, swap the sisal area rug for a stately Oriental, or try heavier patterns, such as the wooly tartan on this room's ottoman.
No one likes bare floors in the winter. Add thick, soft throw rugs to cozy up your space. Simple braided rugs not only warm cold feet, but also incorporate rich colors and complement the cheery farmhouse style of this cottage.
Wall color is the primary way to set the mood of a space. Pick a bold fall shade, such as this room's deep orange, and play it up with harvest-inspired accents. The natural lighting through the bay window enhances this kitchen's sunny atmosphere.
A room with a neutral palette provides a blank canvas for hot-colored accessories. The bright-orange throw pillows add a sense of warmth and a burst of energy to this functional space. Built-in bunk beds are always a cozy addition, and the overstuffed sectional sofa makes a lazy afternoon even better.
Trade in bare walls for a built-in library. The rich colors and textures in a collection of timeworn volumes bring instant warmth to a room—and you're guaranteed to have a good read at your fingertips.
The rosy hue of cedar walls instantly warms up a room. Used in a small space such as this bath, the effect is cozy and nautical―as though you've just stepped below deck. The horizontal panels keep the look clean and modern rather than rustic.
