Thank You!
To whom it may concern,
Over the August Bank holiday weekend last, I had the pleasure of being a guest at a wedding held at your hotel. My husband and I stayed the night of the wedding (August 1st) at your hotel.
I was positively blown away by the friendliness and helpfulness of your staff – they were terrific in every possible way and I felt that it was worthy of an email to let you know how impressed we were. It was my first time at your hotel and it was lovely in every way – decor and ambience and the food we were served at the reception was fantastic. But, by far, our lasting impression was of your staff. They could not have been more helpful.
I had the rather unusual perspective of seeing them through completely sober eyes throughout the night (being three months pregnant!) and they remained super for the entire event.
So, a huge thank you to all your super staff who worked on the August BH Sunday – please let them know that they were appreciated and made a great wedding even more wonderful.
Deirdre & Sean O'Dwyer

Sean Lynch was a friend of mine. Not a close friend, but still, a friend. He dated the girl across the hall from me freshman year of college, and although the relationship didn't last, when he and I would run into each other at parties or in bars, we'd hang around and drink beer. We had a lot in common: big Irish-Catholic families, sports, the sense of being just a tiny bit uncomfortable in the halls of Ivy. Later, after we graduated, we'd run into each other at social events or Rangers games, and I'd always be struck by how affable Lynch was, even after all that time.
Sean and his brother Farrel worked at Cantor Fitzgerald. They died in the September 11 attacks. I went to Sean's funeral and the wake afterward at the Dublin Pub in Morristown, where Sean lived with his wife and little kids. I did my best to offer condolences to his parents, who grieved for two sons in one week but buried empty coffins.
Sean was the only person I knew who died on September 11, and in the ensuing weeks, as we faced the inevitable invasion of Afghanistan, it was his face I saw when I had my thoughts of vengeance. Every time I saw footage on television of B-52s dropping bombs on the Taliban I wished I could be with the Navy SEALs who were guiding the bombs onto the heads of the flat-earthers who had allowed Osama bin Laden to train in their country. As our soldiers chased Osama and the other bad guys into Tora Bora, I followed every move I could, wondering why they didn't just close the loop and get the bastard and bring him back to New York for a trial.
But they never got him. And we decided to forget about Afghanistan and fight the wrong war. We could have caught the guy who killed Sean and his brother and almost 3,000 other people, but we didn't. And with each mocking tape he sends, bin Laden seems to confirm that we never will.
But the slog through Iraq, rather than harden my desire for revenge, seems to have eased it. Rather than wanting to drop bombs on the Taliban and send mocking letters to John Walker Lind, I just wanted the whole thing to be over. Killing someone who isn't bin Laden isn't going to solve anything, or bring back Sean.
So when a colonel at NATO emailed to ask if I wanted to deliver some bikes to an orphanage in Afghanistan as well as some to the Afghan Cycling Federation, I was taken aback. Oh yeah, I thought. Afghanistan. There's still a war there.
Today my team and I built 57 bikes, most of them donated by Specialized, an American bike company. The bikes are called Globes, and they're hybrids, designed to ride comfortably but not terribly fast, over pavement and packed dirt, and a middling mechanic such as myself can put one together in about 15 minutes.
Our day started early, with the sound of a muezzin waking us around sunrise. We built the bikes with the help of American soldiers who seemed eager to have a positive interaction with Afghanis. Troops from other NATO nations stopped by to ask what we were doing, and many thanked us for our efforts, which seemed crazy to me, given that many were away from home for months at a time and lived under a constant threat of war. We should be thanking them, not forgetting them.

Sanford, Fla. • Trayvon Martin's mother and George Zimmerman's mother clashed on the witness stand Friday over whether the screams for help that can be heard in the background on a 911 call came from the teenager or the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot him.
"I heard my son screaming," Sybrina Fulton, Martin's mother, answered firmly after listening to a recording in which high-pitched wails could be heard. Moments later on the call, there was a gunshot and the crying stopped.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Later in the day Friday, Gladys Zimmerman listened to the same recording and answered, "My son" when asked whose voice it was. Asked how she could be certain, she said, "Because it's my son."
The conflicting testimony over the potentially critical piece of evidence came on a dramatic, action-packed day in which the prosecution rested its case and the judge rejected a defense request to acquit Zimmerman on the second-degree murder charge.
The question of whose voice is on the recording could be crucial to the jury in deciding who was the aggressor in the confrontation that ended with Zimmerman killing the 17-year-old.
The question sharply divided the two families: Martin's half brother, 22-year-old Jahvaris Fulton, testified that the cries came from the 17-year-old. And Zimmerman's uncle, Jose Meza, said he knew it was Zimmerman's voice from "the moment I heard it. ... I thought, that is George."
In asking that the judge acquit Zimmerman, defense attorney Mark O'Mara argued that the prosecution had failed to prove its case.
He said an "enormous" amount of evidence showed that Zimmerman acted in self-defense, and he argued that Zimmerman had reasonable grounds to believe he was in danger, and acted without the "ill will, hatred and spite" necessary to prove second-degree murder.
But prosecutor Richard Mantei countered: "There are two people involved here. One of them is dead, and one of them is a liar."
Mantei told the judge that Zimmerman had changed his story, that his account of how he shot Martin was "a physical impossibility," and that he exaggerated his wounds.
After listening to an hour and a half of arguments from both sides, Judge Debra Nelson refused to throw out the murder charge, saying the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence for the case to go on.
The prosecution rested late in the afternoon after calling 38 witnesses over two weeks.
Among them, earlier in the day, was Sybrina Fulton, who sat expressionless on the witness stand while prosecutors played the 911 recording of a Zimmerman neighbor urging a dispatcher to send police quickly.
"Who do you recognize that to be?" prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda asked her.
"Trayvon Benjamin Martin," she replied.
When introducing herself to jurors, Fulton described having two sons, one of whom "is in heaven."
During cross-examination, O'Mara suggested — haltingly, in apparent recognition of the sensitivity of the questioning — that Fulton may have been influenced by others who listened to the 911 call, including relatives and her former husband.
O'Mara asked Fulton hypothetically whether she would have to accept that it was Zimmerman yelling for help if the screams did not come from her son. The defense attorney also asked Fulton whether she hoped Martin didn't do anything that led to his death.
"I would hope for this to never have happened and he would still be here," she said.
O'Mara asked Jahvaris Fulton why he told a reporter last year that he wasn't sure if the voice belonged to Martin. Jahvaris Fulton explained that he was "shocked" when he heard it.
"I didn't want to believe it was him," he said.Next Page >

As a farm machinery mechanic and writer, Dan brings a hands-on approach that only a pro can muster. Along with his In the Shop blog, Dan writes a column by the same name as well as the Shop Series for Farm Journal magazine. Always providing practical information, he is a master at tackling technical topics and making them easy for all of our readers to understand. He and his wife, Becky, live near Bouton, Iowa.
There's no need to use a torque wrench to tighten 99 percent of the nuts and bolts on farm equipment. But if you work on engines, transmissions, final drives or other assemblies that require or benefit from fasteners being torqued precisely, here are a couple tips;
-Always grip a torque wrench in the middle of its handgrip when pushing or pulling to tighten a fastener. Torque is calculated based on the distance from the pivot point of a torque wrench to the center of the handgrip. Pulling or pushing from anywhere on the handle except for the handgrip gives a distorted torque value.
-Don't jerk or lunge against the handle of a torque wrench during a "pull." Torque wrenches give their most accurate readings if the wrench is pulled smoothly and steadily.
-Try to arrange so the torque wrench clicks or beeps (indicating desired torque value has been reached) in the middle or toward the end of a slow, steady pull of the handle. It takes more torque to start a bolt turning than it does to keep that bolt turning. So if you have limited room in which to swing the torque wrench handle, and have to reset the wrench, be suspicious if the wrench clicks or beeps in the first few inches of the fresh pull. In that case, the wrench is probably signaling the "breakaway torque" of the bolt rather than it's actual turning torque. Most common bolts can be safely loosened then re-snugged, with the goal of getting the wrench to click in mid- or late-pull. The exception is when tightening "torque to yield" bolts, which are special, one-time-use bolts that should never be loosened and re-used after they've been tightened to full torque value.

A new study led by Dr. Robin Yabroff of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences indicates that the practice of cervical cancer screening using Pap tests varies by physician specialty. Published today in the Annals of Internal Medicine, the study involved a survey of more than 1,200 clinicians. While the large majority of physicians offered Pap tests to their eligible patients, the frequency of Pap tests recommended by physicians was often inconsistent with recommended national guidelines.
Cancer Research Highlights
Even With Very Small Breast Tumors, Studies Find HER2 Status Matters
Two retrospective studies have found that women with HER2-positive breast tumors (that is, tumors that produce too much of the HER2 protein) that are 1 centimeter or smaller had a higher risk of their disease returning within 5 years than women with similarly small HER2-negative tumors. The findings, published online November 2 in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, may shed some light on an area of clinical uncertainty: Whether women with small, HER2-positive tumors should receive post-surgical, or adjuvant, treatment with the targeted agent trastuzumab (Herceptin). Few patients with these small tumors took part in the large clinical trials that established adjuvant trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy as a standard treatment for women with HER2-positive, early stage breast cancer.
The studies included women treated at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and the European Institute of Oncology in Milan, respectively. In each study, the researchers reviewed the medical records of women with these small tumors treated at their respective institutions. Although the researchers excluded patients who had received adjuvant trastuzumab, some patients included in the analyses had received other adjuvant treatments, particularly those in the Milan group. Both studies found an approximately 2.5-fold higher risk of recurrence in women with small, HER2-positive tumors than in women with small, HER2-negative tumors, and the M.D. Anderson study showed a more than 5-fold increase in risk of developing metastatic disease.
The findings echo those of two earlier studies, noted Drs. Harold Burstein and Eric Winer of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, in an accompanying editorial. And the findings add to the mounting evidence that, while women with small HER2-positive breast tumors still have a good prognosis, they may benefit from adjuvant treatment with chemotherapy and trastuzumab.
Given the lack of data from randomized clinical trials on the effect of trastuzumab on outcomes in women with small, HER2-positive tumors, Drs. Burstein and Winer caution that "treatment options should still be tailored to the underlying risk of recurrence." This is particularly true for women with the smallest of these tumors, 5 mm or less, for whom the recurrence risk is "still uncharacterized." In these patients "it seems hard to justify the rare but potentially serious risks of adjuvant chemotherapy and trastuzumab," they wrote. In women for whom adjuvant treatment is being considered, they concluded, "Given the potency of trastuzumab-chemotherapy combinations, it seems likely that abbreviated courses of treatment might suffice."
Risk of Contralateral Breast Cancer Estimated for BRCA Families
Women with inherited forms of breast cancer are at an increased risk of developing a second cancer later in life, often in the opposite (contralateral) breast. German researchers have now estimated the risk of contralateral breast cancer for these women and identified two factors that are associated with risk: a woman's age when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, and whether she has inherited a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. The findings were reported online in the October 26 Journal of Clinical Oncology.
In a retrospective analysis of 2,020 German women with known or suspected BRCA1/2 mutations, the risk of contralateral breast cancer was highest among women with mutations in the BRCA1 gene who were initially diagnosed before the age of 40. For this group, the cumulative contralateral breast cancer risk after 25 years was nearly 63 percent, the researchers found.
Older age at the diagnosis of first breast cancer was associated with a smaller increase in risk. For those with BRCA1 mutations whose first cancer was diagnosed after age 50, the cumulative contralateral breast cancer risk after 25 years was 19.6 percent, and for their BRCA2 mutation-carrying counterparts, it was 16.7 percent, approximately the same as the risk among women from the general population.
For all women in the study, however, the overall risk of contralateral breast cancer at 25 years after a breast cancer diagnosis was nearly 50 percent and continued to rise thereafter. Though the risk estimates are lower than reported previously for this group, the findings suggest that "contralateral breast cancer risk is relevant even a long time after diagnosis of first breast cancer," the researchers wrote.
Many high-risk women are seeking genetic counseling and BRCA1/2 mutation testing prior to diagnosis or at the time of diagnosis, in the hope that knowledge of their mutation status will improve their medical care. Although the findings need to be confirmed, they could potentially inform decisions about treatment, the authors said. This study may be the first to show that patients from families with BRCA1 mutations face a significantly higher risk of contralateral breast cancer than patients with BRCA2 mutations.
In an accompanying editorial, Drs. Judy Garber and Mehra Golshan of Brigham and Women's Hospital said that for high-risk women diagnosed at a young age, the estimates "provide powerful figures that should compel the breast cancer care team to consider the issue of management of the opposite breast." Equally important, the risk of contralateral breast cancer is "less compelling" for BRCA1/2 carriers who are older (i.e., over age 50) at diagnosis, they wrote.
Lower Total Blood Cholesterol Levels Are Not Linked to Higher Cancer Risk
A study published November 2 in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention has yielded new insight into the relationship between cholesterol and cancer. Previous studies have suggested that lower total blood cholesterol levels are associated with increased cancer incidence and mortality, but it has been unclear whether these studies observed a cause-and-effect association or if lower cholesterol can in some cases be a product of metabolic changes caused by very early cancer.
To better understand the associations between blood cholesterol and cancer risk, researchers from NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics examined prospective data from 29,093 male smokers who participated in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study. Total blood cholesterol levels and HDL (so-called good cholesterol) levels were measured at the beginning of the study and 3 years later. The participants were followed for 18 years, during which time 7,545 cases of cancer occurred.
The researchers observed an overall association between higher blood cholesterol and decreased overall cancer incidence; however, when cancer cases diagnosed during the first 9 years of the study were excluded, this association disappeared, indicating that the association is not causative and was more likely due to existing early cancers in many cases. "Our data come down very strongly in support of low cholesterol not being a risk factor for cancer," said Dr. Demetrius Albanes, senior author of the study.
The researchers also saw an association between higher levels of HDL and a lower risk of cancer overall. Unlike for total cholesterol, this association was slightly stronger when cases diagnosed through the first 9 years of follow-up were excluded. "We saw an 11 percent lower risk for all cancers over the entire observation period for the highest HDL levels," said Dr. Albanes. "That became a 15 percent lower risk after excluding cases diagnosed during the first 9 and even 12 years of follow-up. If these new findings are confirmed by other researchers, higher HDL levels may be beneficial not only for preventing cardiovascular disease but also for inhibiting cancer," he concluded.
Tests for Catching Cervical Precancers Show Equivalent Accuracy
The two most common methods for identifying cervical cancer precursors are equally accurate, according to the results of the largest randomized study ever comparing the two tests. The study found that liquid-based cytology, now the most commonly used approach for cervical cancer screening in the United States, was not superior to the conventional Pap test for the detection of abnormal cells that can precede cancer development. The results were published in the October 28 Journal of the American Medical Association.
The trial included approximately 90,000 women aged 30 to 60 who were screened at nearly 250 medical practices in the Netherlands that participate in the Dutch cervical cancer screening program. The medical practices were randomly assigned to use one of the two tests; physicians who followed up on women with positive test results were blinded to the type of test used and the test result. Both tests had nearly equivalent rates of detecting precancerous lesions—called cervical intraepithelial neoplasia—and had equivalent positive predictive value, which is the likelihood of precancerous cells being present following a positive test.
The liquid-based test is more expensive than a conventional Pap test, wrote the study's lead author, Dr. Albertus G. Siebers, and colleagues. "But in equivocal cases it has the possibility of concomitant testing on the residual material for the presence of [HPV DNA] or other molecular cell cycle-related biomarkers," the authors noted.
The trial results "are unlikely to have a major effect on cytology screening in the United States," wrote Dr. Mark Schiffman of NCI's Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics and Dr. Diane Solomon of NCI's Division of Cancer Prevention in an accompanying editorial. Liquid-based cytology is preferred by most laboratories because the specimen is easier and quicker to scan under the microscope. And, as the study found, there are fewer unsatisfactory specimens with liquid-based cytology.
"Cytology is now competing against primary and other secondary cervical cancer preventive strategies," they wrote, including the HPV vaccine and HPV DNA testing. "Even though an increasingly powerful set of prevention tools is available, no combination of vaccination, cytology, HPV testing, colposcopy, and novel methods will be suitable for all settings."
Nicotine Patch and Lozenge Combination Helps Smokers Quit for Longer
In a comparative effectiveness study testing five different smoking-cessation aids, researchers found that a combination of the nicotine patch plus the nicotine lozenge was most effective at increasing smoking abstinence. The results appeared yesterday in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
Clinical trials have shown that a variety of smoking cessation aids, including nicotine replacement products (such as the nicotine patch) and non-nicotine medications (such as bupropion), can help people quit smoking. However, the lack of research directly comparing the efficacy of these products has made it difficult for smokers to choose and doctors to recommend one aid over another.
The trial, led by Dr. Megan Piper of the Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention at the University of Wisconsin, enrolled 1,504 smokers and randomly assigned them to one of 10 treatment groups: the nicotine lozenge, nicotine patch, a combination of the nicotine lozenge and patch, bupropion, bupropion plus the lozenge, or a placebo for one of the five active treatments. All patients, including those in the placebo groups, received intensive smoking-cessation counseling.
Although all five active regimens helped people immediately quit smoking compared with their placebo controls, only three—the nicotine patch and the two combination regimens—increased abstinence at 1 week after quitting, and only the patch plus the lozenge was effective relative to its placebo 6 months after quitting. People who used this combination during the trial were more than twice as likely to remain abstinent at 6 months than those who received the placebo.
While the patch-plus-lozenge combination was the most effective therapy compared with its placebo, the authors caution that when compared head-to-head (instead of against their placebo controls), the five active cessation treatments all provided a relatively similar benefit for sustaining abstinence 6 months after quitting. In addition, the placebo groups all achieved an unusually high rate of success in quitting, perhaps due to the intensive counseling provided.
Personalized Phone Counseling Helps Teens Quit Smoking
In the largest clinical trial of its kind, researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center have shown that telephone-based counseling that includes motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral approaches helps older teens quit smoking. The trial is the first to demonstrate a prolonged effect—defined in the trial as lasting at least 6 months—on smoking cessation among adolescent smokers. This finding is consistent with the recommendation in the U.S. Public Health Service's 2008 Clinical Practice Guidelines, which indicate that counseling can be an effective treatment to help youth quit smoking.
"These results are critically important for supporting and stimulating our nation's search to find successful ways to help reduce smoking by teens and young adults," said the study's lead investigator, Dr. Arthur V. Peterson, Jr., in a press release. The study was published online October 12 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute (JNCI).
The NCI-funded trial enrolled 2,151 older teenage smokers (identified through surveys) from 50 high schools in Washington State. Half of the schools were randomly assigned to receive confidential counseling, while student participants in the remaining 25 schools received no counseling. A large group of nonsmokers was also enrolled in the trial to mask participants' smoking status.
Nearly two-thirds of the participants in the counseling group took part in at least one counseling call. The counseling, the research team explained, centered on two techniques: motivational interviewing, which helps give participants the motivation and confidence to quit, and cognitive behavioral skills training, which provides the tools for learning how to quit.
Among all smokers, 6-month quit rates were higher in participants who received the counseling compared with those who did not (21.8 percent versus 17.7 percent). Daily smokers who received the counseling were nearly twice as likely to report 6-month abstinence rates compared with daily smokers who did not receive counseling (10.1 percent versus 5.9 percent). The counseling intervention effects differed for male and female daily smokers. Male daily smokers who received counseling were more likely than male daily smokers who did not receive the intervention to sustain 6-month abstinence rates. However, this was not true for female adolescent smokers.
In an accompanying editorial in JNCI, Dr. Scott Leischow and Eva Matthews of the Arizona Cancer Center praised the trial and called for "encouraging in the strongest possible way" state tobacco quitlines "to implement the intervention…to the extent feasible."

Gov. Jan Brewer used her State of the State address Monday to announce she was abolishing Child Protection Services and creating a new, stand-alone cabinet agency to oversee child welfare.
That agency will be called the Division of Child and Family Services and will be headed up by Charles Flanagan who has been her juvenile corrections director. Flanagan will report directly to Brewer.
CBS 5 News sat down with Flanagan on Tuesday to ask him how he was going to change the broken system that has failed thousands of Arizona's kids and families in the past.
CBS 5 News asked Flanagan if the new agency will be the complete overhaul that many have been calling for for years.
"It in and of itself will not equal a complete overhaul. There are many things that have to happen to meet that definition. It does a number of things. One, it puts it under the direct supervision of the governor through the director of the entity. That raises the level of the scrutiny the agency gets. And number two it allows CPS and DCYF, in this new format, to focus on their work and not be confused all of the other aspects of DES, a much larger agency," Flanagan said.
Flanagan talked with CBS 5 News about the operational changes that he hopes to make.
"The focus has to be on having the resources, the employees, that are trained and that are capable of doing this job in the numbers sufficient to do the job so that they're not nearly doing twice what is expected of everybody else in the United States, when it comes to caseloads. Secondly, you have to have supervisors that can supervise and support them and mentor them, rather than having supervisors that have to do caseloads because there's such an atrocious turnover rate with people leaving. There also has to be a database that's functional where you can get information out of it. And then the people working in the field need efficiencies. They need a laptop or a tablet or something that they can enter information into that then reduces the amount of administrative work that they have to do. The structural changes to the organization are myriad. There are so many things that are going to have to happen that it's not just one thing."
Flanagan also talked a lot about the new agency being much more transparent than the old.
"The governor said she expects transparency. So we're going to be approaching that in a very different way than has happened in the past. We intend to protect the identities of the children that we serve, the families, but to provide outcomes, to provide what it is we're doing and how we're doing it in a much clearer way so that people know exactly what it is we're doing, similar to the care team publishing the numbers of the work that we're doing and explaining what that means. You'll hear about things like removals. You'll hear about closed cases. You'll hear about the cases that did repeat."
One of the biggest concerns over the years with CPS has been a lack of accountability. Flanagan said he has a plan for that.
"There needs to be an inspections bureau, which is one of the things I will be working on, that is independent of anyone else in the organization but the director, that conducts both daily, weekly, monthly fields audits and reviews of what's being done and then does quarterly and annual inspections to assure compliance with law, policy and procedure."
Flanagan said the success of the new agency will require a cultural change that can be achieved if given the resources to do the job. Flanagan said much will depend on the Legislature and their allocation of money.

- Not Typical Sizing For Carhartt Review by Mike Jacobs
Price Value Quality
The B480 Jeans are not the typical fit compared to other Carhartt jeans. Such as the B17. The run way long and sit lower on the waist so I exchanged them for the same but a size smaller in inseam. They are not really straight leg either. More like boot cut. The size smaller inseam fits ok standing, but when I sit they are too short. Go figure. I noticed that Rural King is no longer stocking the better lines of Carhartt jeans which is big disappointment. Buyer beware, if you are used to Carhartt jeans and their typical fit, these are no where close.

Tapa or ngatu can be found occasionally in smaller pieces, but to find such large pieces as we have is rare. Though not the full length size that is reserved for weddings or other special occasions, these Tapa pieces are quite large, enough to cover walls from top to bottom.
The process for making such a valuable and useful handicraft is a labor intensive process. It starts with the growing, cultivating and harvesting of the inner bark of the paper mulberry tree (hiapo). Once cleaned, the strips of inner bark are pounded with a wooden mallet (ike) on a long wooden anvil (tutua).
From there, the strips are glued together using a paste made from tapioca root or arrow root. Two or more layers of the cloth are pasted together crosswise to strengthen the material.
Full Tapa cloth may be purchased. These pieces are one of a kind. Available for purchase as a whole or in sections. Tapa is double layered. Tapa has small minor imperfections. Tapa may be cut or be made of at least 2 smaller pieces.

Sybylla's Fashion-Forward Reno
House Tour
Names: J. Sybylla Smith and Eric Luden
Occupations: Owner, Go To Design Studio; Owner, Digital Silver Imaging and The Griffin Museum @ Digital Silver Imaging
Location: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Size: 2,900 square feet
Years lived in: 4 years
Some say the best things in life are worth waiting for. That was certainly the case for Sybylla Smith, who first saw the 19th century Queen Anne she now calls home nearly a decade ago. At that time, not only was the house beyond her reach — it wasn't even on the market. Most people would have moved on. But Smith isn't most people. During a recent tour, we discovered that the sought-after stylist is as warm, colorful, and charismatic as her decor.
In a neighborhood full of stately homes, the designer made a few bold choices that give her historic house a fun, fresh, and urbane feel. Instead of polishing the wood floors to their former glory, Smith painted them a rich brown-black that completely obscures the grain. Instead of limiting her palate to heritage colors, she forged unconventional alliances between chartreuse, royal purple, festive orange, and sky blue. Instead of restoring the original kitchen, she swapped it out for a functional white IKEA suite that perfectly complements her most enviable find: a vintage, working 1930s stove.
Neither did she strip the home of its character, choosing to preserve a host of original details like the terrazzo floors in the bathrooms, the coffered ceiling in the living room, and the quirky fold-down ironing board she carefully relocated to the new laundry room. To these she added modern touches like the Duravit sink in the master bath, the mid-century stools in the kitchen, and a mix of sleek, contemporary light fixtures.
As a stylist, Smith knows that good design isn't about having a lot of things; It's about having the right things. To that end, she's content to build her personal collection of furniture and objects over time. Given her track record, we're pretty sure the end result will be worth the wait.
Apartment Therapy Survey
My style: Idiosyncratic
Inspiration: Blending family heirlooms with pieces of mid-century design and the occasional outrageous piece we love.
Favorite Element: The coffered ceiling, hefty moldings, large scale windows and glass doorknobs.
Biggest Challenge: Bringing modern sensibility to an antique structure. Dealing with the change is scale form our previous loft.
What Friends Say: "Great house", "Beautiful", "Gracious and sunny"
Biggest Embarrassment: Lack of window treatments
Biggest Indulgence: The house! Radiant heat on first floor, dual shower system, 4 Velux cube-shaped skylights for studio.
Best advice: Renovating zaps your decorating budget. My dream of dining on ghost chairs is bumped by updating all the systems you don't see. Patience, decisiveness, flexibility, and a sense of humor are as necessary as a budget. Mistakes and limitations make for serendipitous design decisions. My favorite line that got me through this and previous renovations came from our friend, architect Tim Techler: "You'd be crazy to do it and crazy not to."
Dream source: We live in walking distance of fantastic home stores including Didrick's, Abodeon, and Reside for furniture, accessories, and lighting. Love Zimman's for fabric and interesting furnishings. Wolfer's lighting for recessed heads, sconces, table lamps, and chandeliers.
Resources of Note:
- • Cabinets from IKEA
• Saarinen Stools from Abodeon
• Spice containers from Abodeon
• Satin nickel and milk glass ceiling lamp from School House Electric
- • Art deco cabinet and dictionary stand are antiques
• Glass candlesticks from Didriks
• French metal and crystal chandelier and round dining table (expands to seat 12) from Mohr and McPhearson

That kitchen is to die for!
I have been searching online for one of those magnetic plates that is hanging (with spices) above the pots and pans. Where might one find one of these? My online searches have proven fruitless! I must be using the wrong terms..
I love your home. It makes me want to paint mine white. I have kitchen envy. Thank you for sharing.
The entryway is amazing and I'd kill for that kitchen sink.
fancyfinbar, Abodeon, in Cambridge, sells them. Here's the link:
The kitchen is awesome.... but I'm excited about the painted floors. Can any AT readers suggest resources for floor painting that lasts and looks good?
I love this house. Great mix of modern and vintage. Especially love the pebble bathroom floor.
I think this house is delightful for many reasons--the mix of old and new, the color palette, the interesting details. Would love to see the exterior.
Beautiful! May I ask what the blue paint in the bedroom is? I am looking for a non-cliche blue for my living room.
You have a beautiful home. But tonight I'm going to dream about your laundry room......
I love how simple the bed is. Silky wood, heavily textured tucked-in white cover, and simple pillows – it looks very French.
Sybylla, where is your couch from? It's absolutely stunning. That colour, the delicate rolled arms, the feet. I love so many details of your house!
What's up with the bathroom, though? Is one picture before a renovation, and one after? If so, I much prefer the before (the photo where the toilet's next to the sink). Or are there 2 different sinks in different bathrooms with identical mirrors and shelves above them?
Such a cool place! Can I ask where you got the duvet cover in the bedroom - i've been searching high and low for one just like it. Thanks!
What an amazing home, it's has a nice balance between old and new. Cheers!!
One of my favorite tours. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!
finally, a house tour that is inspirational for smaller spaces. all of the nooks and crannies are well used...shelves, picture ledges...together with a very laid back and cutesy vibe. the use of color and tasteful furnishings...all understated and well planned. especially liked the higher-end appliances that didn't scream 'cuttie cutter design!' and the banister is a statement unto itself. only thing i didn't dig is the twigs above your bed... i would replace it with something more cheerful as in found in the rest of the house. lovely home, thanks for sharing.
I love the stove, the schoolhouse light, the staircase is to die for! What an amazing canvas to work with! I think that I would have been just as passionate in my pursuit of this house as the owner is!
While my own personal aesthetic is very different, this is definitely a home I would love to visit.
Lovely home. I especially love the built in shelves around the doorway. I've got a room where that just might work. I adore your stove! The bones of the house are to die for. I love the duvet cover in linen. The bath fixtures are wonderful. That entry table and mirror are without parallel. The green cabinet with spoke curved doors is amazing. And the baths are marvelous. Great job.
I really like the corner sink. Ingenious. I'd never seen one before.
I dig this entire place - very calming but fun design!
That stove...how I covet.
the entry way is gorgeously calming to me. and i love the framed photo over the piano.
Pretty house. Bed is made, dishes are washed, bathroom is scrubbed and everything is in it's place for the photo shoot--
----but who forgot to clean the PILE OF ASHES from the fireplace?!!!
Love it!! Love that green cabinet! Love that old secretary! Love the built-in ironing board!! Love it all.
We have bought the same Happy D sink for a pre-war apartment in Brooklyn but are struggling w a light fixture. Would love to know what you did...
Merci for the positive feedback!
To answer in order:
Magnetic spice containers form Abodeon are on Ikea metal board.
Floors were an experiment of mixing Miniwax Dark Walnut stain with a dash of C2 Black paint.
Blue bedroom paint is Linus by C2(my fav!!). Pearl matte by C2 with Dove White semi by BM is carried throughout house.
Couch is the Pierre Collection from Crate and Barrel in lapis ultrasuede.
There are two baths on 2nd floor with identical original fixtures.
Duvet cover is actually a blanket from Didrik's.
Poppy rug from TJMaxx.
King Richard the 3rd, with whom we are most intimate, has graced one bathroom or another for years.
Aghastly, it was me who forgot the ashes in the f/p - but the s'mores we made in it the night before where heavenly!
I spy your Silvia in the corner... love that machine! Very interesting house tour, thanks for sharing.
That stove!
love it
Love the purple chair! Everything does look so nicely edited. I had Richard III ("stained glass") in the kitchen in my last apartment.
I want that cat cushion!!! I love your place. It's got a lot of personality and charm and that makes it a home versus a designer showcase.
The only thing I would have done differently is have the granite table top in the kitchen cut round or oval. This would be better feng shui balance (adding curved yin energy) but also more practical for working in the kitchen so that one doesn't keep bumping into the hard corners. A round table is also more in line with the Saarinen-style chairs. We had a piece of marble cut to order in both a rectangle and a round and so much love the round piece better.
Such a fun tour. I love your kids' rooms. Unexpected treasures throughout. Thank you for sharing.
I want the stove, I love how the kitchen is this perfect combination of old and new. Well done.
Lovely home! I live in a teeny tiny barely affordable apartment in the same area...someday maybe I'll be able to afford a home here as well...*sigh*
Beautiful! I bought my bathroom lighting at Wolfer, as well. Pics are on my blog Happy Renovations
Please let me know what you guys think!

Hotel Boccaccio
Via Del Boccaccio 25, Rome, Italy

Reviewed by EuroCheapo.com Editors
Tucked on a quiet lane in the heart of Rome's action, the Hotel Boccaccio is nothing fancy. Rather, this affordable hotel is the sort of place that makes you feel right at home.
Pros: Enviable location. Homey atmosphere. Excellent value.
Cons: Can pick up street noise. No air conditioning.
The one-star Hotel Boccaccio is situated on a small cobblestoned street near the Trevi Fountain, the Spanish Steps, and many restaurants and cafés. The quiet hotel has been owned by the same family since 1937 and is currently run by the friendly Patrizia.
The Boccaccio is crammed with paintings, rugs, antiques and plants, all which lend it a homey feel. The eight guest rooms are done up in bright colors, and the decorator certainly wasn't afraid of mixing patterns when choosing wallpaper and bedspreads. Note that the rooms do not have a TV, telephone or air conditioning, but they are equipped with a fan and mini-fridge.
The bathrooms, private or shared, are modern and clean, and a hair dryer and toiletries are available in all guest rooms.
The Hotel Boccaccio's small, plant-festooned communal balcony is a great place to enjoy some sunshine (smoking is permitted). The hotel also has a cozy seating area with a TV.
Green-minded travelers will appreciate that the Hotel Boccaccio is a member of the Eco WorldHotel Group and has won the group's "Environment Quality EcoWorldHotel" prize for its use of eco-friendly cleaning products.
The Boccaccio does not offer breakfast, but there are plenty of cafés nearby. Wi-Fi is free throughout.

Via Del Boccaccio 25
Piazza di Spagna, Rome, Italy
About the Hotel Boccaccio neighborhood
Located just south of the Villa Borghese, the Piazza di Spagna is home to the famous Spanish Steps, where hundreds gather to relax in the afternoon sun before strolling along the boutique- and café-lined Via dei Condotti. The area is home to the Trevi Fountain, the lovely Villa Borghese Park, and loads of stylish (and pricey) shops. Hotels in this area tend to be quite expensive.

This most needed and minimally glamorous task is one that Christine Miller and Gary Glaser have done on behalf of San Francisco Opera for more than 30 years. They have picked up countless artists from San Francisco International Airport over the years, and it is one of the many reasons why they are the recipients of the 2013 Spirit of the Opera Award, the highest honor the Opera bestows upon members of our community.
Are you getting anxious for this year's Opera at the Ballpark? We presented our first free simulcast at AT&T Park in 2007, and in the years since it has easily become one of the most beloved Bay Area traditions. Last year's simulcast of Aida attracted an unprecedented crowd of 32,000 people—and that doesn't count the nearly 3,000 more who were watching back at the Opera House!
