Poufs are
a big hit surge
Portable
Right at Home
this season
helter magazines, catalogs, stores — everywhere we look this season, there’s some sort of
pouf. While ottomans tend to be more structured, with a solid form and usually some legs,
poufs or hassocks are actually just big upholstered
cushions, and aren’t usually used as tables the way
ottomans often are.
But poufs are the perfect
squishy footrest, and thus
suit family rooms or relaxed living rooms. Easily
moved about, they make
great extra seating.
With a versatile, portable
accessory like this, you
can afford to play a little.
Look for unusual designs,
colorful hues and interesting shapes; poufs add a
KIM COOK
nice punch to a space for
not a lot of money, unless you choose something by a
designer.
If you want the genuine Moroccan-made article,
check out Tazi Designs and Living Morocco. Tazi has an
array of colorful leather poufs with a Moorish motif. A
black leather one features white silk stitching; a bronze
leather one is equally dramatic. Living Morocco has
several striking models in black and red, or green and
white. From Morocco With Love has several affordable
versions in supple rainbow hues; check out its website
for an interesting film showing Fez artisans at work.
Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola has created a
beautiful, albeit pricey collection of sprawl-worthy giant poufs covered in her popular Mangas pattern; the
word means “sweater,” and with their nubby knitted
wool texture, the pieces do look cozy.
Janet Shea, an interior designer in Hanover, Mass.,
likes the versatility and user-friendliness of poufs. She
likes them in a living room, but loves putting them in
kids’ spaces.
“I’ve used them in a couple of preteen girls’ rooms
I’ve worked on. They’re great for lounging, watching
TV and playing video games,” Shea said. “So much better than sitting on the bed or floor.”
Design firm FiveTimesOne has a cool group of felted
Merino wool poufs that look like polished travertine,
marble, and stone pebbles and boulders; in a contemporary space, they’d be standout pieces.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP)
— Alex Iwashyna didn’t
realize how many of her
neighbors in Richmond,
Va., had backup generators
until her own family bought
one in the dark days after
Hurricane Irene. As she endured the drone of a combustion engine in her backyard, she noticed the same
steady noise from neighbors’ homes.
“I mean we joke about
preparing for the apocalypse and stuff,” Iwashyna
said. “We’ve had an earthquake, a hurricane and a
wildfire in Virginia ... it
would have never occurred
to me to get one until we
lost power for that amount
of time.”
Homeowners around the
nation have endured a nasty
run of power-disrupting

storms, and sales of
portable power generators
have been brisk, industry
officials say. The “big box”
stores such as Lowes and
Wal-Mart did not release
sales information, but according to one manufacturer, Briggs & Stratton Corp.,
Irene led to a spike in sales.
While things have slowed
since then, “we are continuing to see an uptick in demand,”
said
Briggs
spokeswoman Laura Timm.
In some places, the drone
of generators is becoming
as common during blackouts as lawnmowers are on
summer Saturdays.
“I think we’ve gotten into
a pattern of more severe
weather events, whether it’s
snow or ice or rain or wind,
you’re just losing power,”
said Kris Kiser, who heads
the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, a trade
group. “And I think people
are more comfortable now
with, ‘Hey, my neighbor
has this generator and
maybe I should try it next
year.’”
In this year alone, a snowstorm crippled Washington,
D.C.; Joplin, Mo., was devastated by a tornado;
record-high water levels
created havoc along the
lower Mississippi from
Missouri to Louisiana; and
Texas was ravaged by wildfires. The insurance company Munich Re counted 98
natural disasters in the United States in the first six
months of 2011, about double the average of the
1990s.
A lot of this extreme
weather snaps power lines.
Irene knocked out power to
more than 9 million customers along the East
Coast. A big snowstorm in
the bustling Northeast corridor can easily cut power to
more than 100,000. The recent wildfires interrupted
power to several thousand.
And it’s not just storms that
cause blackouts; investigators are looking into
whether a utility worker doing a minor repair job led to
roughly 6 million customers in Arizona, California and Mexico losing power this month.
As the U.S. electrical grid
ages, the number of power
outages affecting more than
50,000 customers more
than doubled between 2005
and 2009 when compared

‘System-built’ Wright house for sale
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Frank
Lloyd Wright house has been put on the
market in Milwaukee.
Jillayne Arena and her husband,
Dave, bought the house, built in around
1916, about 30 years ago as a duplex.
They spent hundreds of thousands of
dollars making it a one-family home
and preserving it after it had been a
rental property, Jillayne Arena said.
This year, they spent $36,000 fixing
the foundation and making other repairs, she said. The three-bedroom
house is listed at just under $200,000.
Arena said she and her husband
priced the house low because of the
market and location. The house is one
in a row of six similar houses on Milwaukee’s south side known as the
American System-Built Homes, which
Wright designed as part of his drive to
provide affordable housing. The homes
were produced from factory-cut materials assembled onsite.
“Not only do you get a Frank Lloyd
Wright house, but you get to look out at
Frank Lloyd Wright houses, which is
truly a remarkable experience as well,”
Arena said.
The couple doesn’t expect to get their
money back, she said, but they hope
someone else enjoys the house as much
as they have.
“It’s been a process of letting go and
detachment, and that’s difficult,” said
Arena, who moved to Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, because her husband took a new
job. “But it’s part of our own life experience: to reevaluate where we are in
our lives. So this has been a great experience, but it was time to move on.”
Listing agent Jack Smith with
Shorewest said it’s too early to predict
demand.
Mike Lilek, curator for three of the
houses on the block, which is owned by
Frank Lloyd Wright Wisconsin, said
it’s not rare for Wright houses to go on
the market; there are an estimated 400
of them in the nation. But they are coveted, he said.
“They come on the market from time
to time because people’s lives change,”
he said.
Frank Lloyd Wright Wisconsin has
restored one of the single-family homes
on the block and opened it as a museum, he said. The group will start restoring one of the duplexes next year, and
has plans to restore another.
It has no plans to buy the Arena
house, Lilek said, because it already has
a similar one. Also, the group wants the
row of houses to be lived in. It was important to Wright to have people live in
architect-designed homes, Lilek said.

poufs from 1D
Poufs are great if you’ve
got toddlers — they’re
cruising-friendly and fun
to flop over. John Derian
offers Moroccan poufs in
bright hues such as
turquoise, sunshine and
violet. Homegoods offers
a big comfy marshmallow
pouf that’s covered in soft
candy pink loops — perfect for a girl’s room. It
has some snazzy embellished Indian-sari-style
poufs, too, that any college girl would love.
Restoration Hardware
has a Union Jack upholstered cube pouf that
packs a mod graphic
punch, but would also be
at home in a traditional
setting.
Some poufs come filled,
but you can use just
about anything to fill the
cover — old clothing,
sheets, newspaper or purchased foam trimmed to
size.
If you’re at all crafty,
consider sewing your
own. Better Homes &
Gardens’ website offers
Generator from 1D
to the previous five-year period, according to Massoud
Amin, director of the Technological Leadership Institute at the University of
Minnesota.
Enter the generator.
In Trumbull, Conn., Debi
Norton was without power
for a day and waiting in line
at Home Depot to buy ice
when she overheard a town
official say that Irene had hit
her neighborhood so hard
that electricity would not
be restored until that weekend.
“I said, ‘Four more days
without power?’ And I saw
the generators lined up on
pallets, and I said, ‘You
know what? I can do this.’”
Norton spent around $600
on one of the last portable
generators left in the store.
That’s a typical price,
though portable generators
can run to more than $1,000
depending on power and
features. Larger “standby”
generators that run on
propane or natural gas can
cost much more.
A generator with enough
juice can handle a refrigerator, a furnace, lights and
more. Norton not only kept
her food from spoiling but
plugged in her computer to
play DVDs for her son.

Mortgage rates hit all-time lows
By DEREK KRAVITZ
AP Real Estate Writer
WASHINGTON
—
Fixed mortgage rates have
fallen to historic lows for a
fourth straight week and are
likely to fall further.
The average on a 30-year
fixed mortgage fell to 4.01
percent last week, Freddie
Mac said. That’s the lowest
rate since the mortgage
buyer
began
keeping
records in 1971. The last
time long-term rates were
lower was in 1951, when
most long-term home loans
lasted just 20 or 25 years.
The average on a 15-year
fixed mortgage, a popular

with material costs of
about $50. It used burlap
to make the example,
which gives the pouf a
great textured look. It’s
not a complex project, so
pactor.
Though unsuitable for
apartment dwellers because
of the exhaust, today’s compact units are more familyfriendly than the rumbling
machines of yesteryear.
Some start with a key rather
than a pull cord. Honda
claims its quieter generators
are “no louder than normal
speech.”
Of course, many generators are louder than that.
“The noise is mind-numbing ... in the whole neighborhood, you can hear them,”
Norton said. “It seemed like
every third house pretty
much had a generator, or got
one.”
In one extreme case of
generator stress during the
Southwest’s recent blackout,
a 45-year-old Orange County, Calif., man was arrested
after the noise from a neighbor’s generator allegedly
prompted him to beat the
neighbor with a flashlight.
Other neighbors complain
of the smell of burning fuel.
In Richmond, Iwashyna, a
mother of two who blogs at
lateenough.com, worried
about whether the noise
would bug her neighbors.
“That was one of my Facebook and Twitter questions
to my friends: What is the
etiquette?” Iwashyna said.
“We’re in the city but we
have a yard and we’re pretty
close to our neighbors.”
you could have some fun
with a few yards of interesting material. Just be
sure to use something
fairly hard-wearing if
your poufs are going to be
played with.
She and her husband
turned off their generator at
night. Norton turned her machine off periodically so she
and her neighbors could get
a break. Norton also performed one other act of gracious generator etiquette
when she allowed her neighbor to run a cord to his refrigerator.
Despite the noise, Norton
is happy with the generator.
It gave her peace of mind
caring for her son and she
was able to enjoy hot coffee.
Some climate scientists
say that extreme storms are
increasingly likely, partly
because of global warming.
And forecasters say the Pacific Ocean climate phenomenon La Nina, which
contributed to extreme
weather around the globe
during the first half of this
year, has re-emerged and is
expected to gradually
strengthen and continue into
winter.
“I’m sure I’m going to use
it again,” Norton said of her
generator. “It’s not a matter
of if. It’s a matter of when.”

Hopefully you have weatherstripped your windows and
doors, and have no drafts. But
if you find that you missed
one gap at the bottom of a
door or window, try making
our handy “draft dodger.” Just
grab a couple of socks that
you no longer want — ones
without holes, preferably.
Place the top ends together so
that the toes point away from
each other, and stuff them full
of aquarium gravel or rice.
Then attach them together using glue, sewing or staples.
Lay this down in front of your
drafty windowsill or threshold, and block that air from
getting inside.
Dear Carrells: My home
office is a lot better since I
cleaned it out. I’d had years’
worth of stuff in it that I didn’t need. I saved a file cabinet
for my shop. It has a lock on
it, so it’s great for storing
some of my valuable tools,
and I can use some of the file
folders to collect plans, receipts and other things in. I
even keep my sandpaper inside one of the folders. It
keeps the paper flat, and I can
easily go through it to find the
grit I am looking for. — S.E.

Create beautiful infant’s room on a budget
Nursery time
By Family Features
Nursery decor isn’t what it
used to be. And that is great
news for those who love interior design and decor!
Many parents-to-be are
moving away from character
themes and the expected pinks
and blues and are instead
opening their minds to design
possibilities. In fact, a survey
by Baby Shop magazine
found that nearly half (47 percent) of current and future parents want nurseries that are an
extension of their stylish home
decor.
To help you find the right
style for your baby’s nursery,
here are some tips from the
team behind the Inspired
Nursery blog at www.inspirednursery.com:
Get Temporarily Trendy
There are certain nursery
items that you will be able to
change out easily as trends
evolve and as your child
grows and expresses him or
herself.
Keep up with the latest color trends? Add a pillow and
throw to your glider or buy
some homemade or purchased
wall art as a way to infuse a
trendy color without committing to it forever.
Love today’s trends of owls,
or find yourself drawn to colorful knit dolls designed overseas? These are easy items to
bring into the room, sit on a
online:

com
n www.LaJobi.com
n www.Etsy.com
shelf or display in a bookcase,
but can be changed out when
the next trend comes along.
Obsessed with the latest
celebrity nursery designs?
Take some inspiration from
your favorites but know you
don’t have to try to match a
room item by item. Choose a
color scheme or theme and
then find a way to incorporate
parts of it within your budget.
Invest in Rest
The smart move is to invest
in a few pieces of high-quality
furniture that will grow with
your child. These are pieces
that will remain in the nursery
as it evolves into a toddler’s
and then big kid’s room:
Select furniture that complements the look of the rest
of your home. Love traditional style? Seek out nursery collections that fit right in. Focused on a transitional look?
Seek out cribs and furniture
with clean lines and solid construction.
Do you love the look of rich
brown furniture or are you ea-
ger to see white wood furniture against pops of paint color and bedding? Nursery furniture comes in a wide variety
of beautiful finishes.
Look for Lifestyle cribs that
easily convert from crib to
toddler-, day-, and eventually
a full-sized bed, which means
they will grow with your
child.
Consider other adaptable
furniture pieces. This includes
armoires that can convert into
media centers, and dressers
that can serve as changing tables.
Get Personal
Give the nursery its own
special look with accessories
that are not only attractive,
but have special meaning,
too.
Celebrate your family’s heritage with treasures from
scrapbooks, old family photo
albums, textiles and art pieces
from your family’s native
country.
Wall decals are a great way
to transform a room. You can
find everything from sophisticated small border decals
and medium sized murals to
large trees and fun circus animals – and you can apply
them yourself.
You don’t need to be a designer to create a beautiful
nursery – you just need a little patience and the right inspiration.
LEE REICH
For The Associated Press
With more forethought,
Adam might not have bitten
the apple and I might not
have planted apple trees. But
he did, and I did, and we
each must deal with the consequences.
For my part, I hadn’t realized that apple trees had so
many pest and disease problems until I planted 25
dwarfs.
Sure, those problems can
be fought with repeated
sprays of pesticides. But with
a little research and planning,
an acceptable crop of high
quality apples can be harvested using little or no pesticide.
INSECT THUGS
The three major insect
pests for apples are the apple
maggot, plum curculio and
codling moth. Apple maggots are the worst of the lot,
dimpling fruits and riddling
them with brown trails of
burrowing larvae. Given free
rein, they make almost every
fruit too damaged to eat.
Thankfully, the apple maggot has an Achilles heel.
When this insect emerges as
a fly about six weeks after
the trees have bloomed, the
females search around for
the biggest, reddest apples in
which to lay eggs.
Ms. Maggot can be hoodwinked with fake apples: red
spheres coated with a sticky
material called Tangletrap.
Or with sacrificial real apples: Buy the firmest, reddest
Red Delicious you can find,
force a stiff wire through the
core to hang the apple, and
coat the fruit with Tangletrap. (Traps of real apples
eventually rot, so usually
need to be replaced once or

twice a season.) One trap per
dwarf tree, hung at head
height in clear view, or four
traps per full-size apple tree,
should provide an irresistible
enticement to the egg-laying
apple maggot.
Plum curculio, which is active during the six weeks immediately following bloom,
can cause fruit to drop early.
The traditional way to thwart
it, effective if done diligently, is to spread an old sheet or
dropcloth beneath each tree
each morning, then give the
tree or branches a sharp
whack with a padded mallet.
Curculios drop from the tree
and play dead, at which point
they can be gathered up and
destroyed. Letting chickens
forage beneath apple trees also offers some control.
Spraying is another way to
control curculio, but instead
of the usual chemical pesticide sprays, use a spray derived from nothing more
than kaolin clay. The material, marketed under the name
Surround, leaves a white
coating on the fruit. Build up
a good, powdery base with
three sprays just before trees
bloom, then spray every seven to 10 days, or after heavy
rains.
The clay spray also thwarts
codling moth, with its signature big, fat worm. This pest
is active for much of the season, but even unchecked, af-
fects only 25 percent of
fruits.
DISEASE
The three worst diseases
afflicting apple trees are fire
blight, cedar-apple rust and
scab. A combination of
strategies keeps damage
within reasonable bounds.
Fire blight disease blackens leaves as if they had been

Cedar-apple rust defaces
leaves, and sometimes fruits,

Certain pesticides control
cedar apple rust, but spraying
must begin before blossoms
open. For myself, I choose to
accept a certain amount of
damage rather than suit up
for an additional spray session.
Apple scab results in corky
brown lesions on fruits and
leaves. Defense against scab

Blocking heat loss
can save energy, cash
By Family Features
A cost effective and easyto-install energy savings
project could pay back
homeowners with significant savings on their home
energy bills, according to a
study commissioned by The
Dow Chemical Company.
The study found that
homeowners save an average of $50 annually on
their energy bills by air
sealing gaps, cracks and
other exposed areas of the
home with an insulating
foam sealant. Participants
of the study showed a return on investment of their
product purchase in as little
as four months after application.
The study findings indicate that the expected average one-year return on investment for homes using
Great Stuff Pro and Great
Stuff Insulating Foam
Sealants ranged from 145
percent to 2,374 percent,
with savings ranging from
$26 to $163 depending on
application area, cost and
quantity of materials.
Project leader Doug
Bibee, a 36-year veteran of
Dow and member of the
company’s building solutions group, said the project’s genesis came from a
commonly accepted but undocumented belief regarding energy loss.
“There was this generally
recognized notion in our industry that air leakage
played a big part in energy
losses for a typical home.
What we couldn’t find any
information on was quantifying the energy savings
across certain products
dealing with air leakage,”
Bibee said. “We wanted to
know how much air leakage
was reduced in certain parts
of home using a product
like Great Stuff Insulating
Foam Sealant. It was equally important, however, that
products could be used by
the average homeowner
over the course of a few
hours or weekend.”

good yield of reasonably
clean fruit using a combination of cleanup, limited
spraying and traps. This is especially true in Western
states, where some of these
pest problems are less severe.
Cosmetically, my fruits put
on a poor show compared
with the perfect apples you
see in markets. But mine are
pesticide-free, and the Macouns, Jonagolds, Spitzenbergs and other select varieties that I grow are simply
scrumptious picked at their
peaks of perfection.
I hope Adam’s apple was
as good.
Some sources for traps and
sprays are Gardener’s Supply
Co. (www.gardeners.com),
GardensAlive! (www.gardensalive.com) and Gemplers (www.gemplers.com).
apple leaves — the source of
next year’s infections — beneath a thick mulch of wood
chips. You can also defuse
leaves that fall on nearby
grass by mowing thoroughly.
Chopped, the leaves decompose quickly and are rendered harmless.
Although apple insects
have cosmopolitan tastes,
disease
organisms
are
finicky. So another way to
control diseases is to plant
one of the many disease-resistant varieties. One that I
grow, Liberty, is resistant to
all the major apple diseases.
Even without paying particular attention to planting
disease-resistant varieties,
you can harvest a reasonably
