La Femme at Bowery Ballroom in March (more by Amanda Hatfield)
France's La Femme have an addictive sound pulling from psychedelic pop, surf rock, ye-ye and more, and as good as their recorded music is, their live shows are crazy on another level. So lucky for us, they've announced that they'll be returning to the US this fall where they have three shows announced so far -- NYC's Le Poisson Rouge on October 16, LA's Echoplex on October 23, and San Francisco's Beach Goth Party on 10/25 with The Growlers, The Drums, DIIV, GZA, Cherry Glazerr, Andrew Jackson Jihad, Chelsea Wolfe, The Spits, Atlas Sound and more. CMJ is right in the middle of that gap, so it doesn't seem impossible that they'll play some shows during that as well. Tickets for LPR go on sale today (8/15) at noon.
All dates are listed, with a couple videos, below...

still from Kevin Drew's "Good Sex" video
It's been a while since we've done one of our video roundups, but there were just too many good videos this week to pass up the opportunity. (Plus, in honor of Valentine's Day, there's some v-day-themed ones worked in here.) We already posted a bunch this week, like Little Dragon, Thurston Moore, Metronomy, The Notwist, Thundercat, OFF!, Marissa Nadler, Arctic Monkeys covering The Beatles, Mission of Burma covering The Beatles, Polica, DTCV, La Femme, The Marked Men's return to NYC, and more, yet there were still plenty of cool ones we didn't get to. Check out recent videos from Kevin Drew, The National, Ariel Pink & Jorge Elbrecht, Phantogram, La Dispute, The Front Bottoms, Guided by Voices, Blouse, Chelsea Wolfe, S. Carey, Death Grips, Quilt, Shellshag and Twin Shadow & Samantha Urbani covering The Smiths, below.

Chelsea Wolfe at FYF Fest 2013 (more by Wei Shi)
Chicago post-rock/post-metal band Russian Circles are set to release their fifth studio album, Memorial, on October 29 via Sargent House, and they've just revealed the album's title track. For this song, the instrumental band have tapped goth entrancer (and Sargent House labelmate) Chelsea Wolfe to provide lead vocals. It's a swirling, atmospheric cut that's more similar to Chelsea Wolfe's first two albums than most of Russian Circles' prior output. You can stream it (via Rolling Stone), along with another album track, "Deficit," below.
Chelsea Wolfe's own new album Pain Is Beauty is out now, and she's currently supporting it on a tour with the equally dark slowcore trio True Widow, whose new album Circumambulation is out now via metal label Relapse Records. Their tour hits NYC TONIGHT (9/13) at Bowery Ballroom, and Tickets for tonight's show are still available.
Speaking of Sargent House and Bowery Ballroom, three of the label's bands, Tera Melos, Fang Island, and Zorch are touring together this fall, and will play Bowery Ballroom on October 30. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

MGMT / Beach House / giant cat
Before My Bloody Valentine performed, screens on the sides of the stage encouraged fans to pick up complimentary pairs of earplugs. It was not an idle warning: My Bloody Valentine was the loudest band I heard perform at the main stage all weekend, though a friend insists that The Melvins were louder.LA's two-day FYF Fest wrapped up on Sunday (8/25) with one of the few US appearances of 2013 from shoegaze legends My Bloody Valentine (who unfortunately didn't allow photographers), the continuously more psychedelic MGMT, and a mix of metal (Baroness, The Melvins), hardcore (Touche Amore), dream pop (Beach House, Washed Out), garage rock (The Orwells, Mikal Cronin) and more. In this post, we've got shots of MGMT, Beach House, Baroness, and Washed Out, plus Solange, Kurt Vile, Yo La Tengo, Chelsea Wolfe (who is currently streaming her new album), and more.Shortly after the band's eagerly awaited m b v was released this year, I recall reading that after blowing out a few amps and multiple bouts of tinnitus, My Bloody Valentine was never quite able to fully re-create the Loveless tones in concert. Most of last night's songs sounded a little different, notably "Only Shallow," but the variances in guitar tones kept things interesting. Bilinda Butcher's voice still sounds the same and Kevin Shields still creates the swirling guitar sounds by using countless effects pedals.
The band performed quite a few Loveless tracks, with "When You Sleep" being an early stand out track. m b v's "New You" followed, once again showing off the band's digital effect skills. Even though m b v was released over two decades after Loveless, the band's old and new material meshed together seamlessly. [Phoenix New Times]

Fans of slowcore, keep your eye out for True Widow. The Texas band, who we've written about before, shows glimmers of Low and Codeine amongst their stoner-y darkness, a comparison that rings true on the band's latest LP Circumambulation. Stream some tracks from the band below including the new one "Creeper", and look for it via Relapse on July 23rd (order yours).

Chelsea Wolfe in Chicago in January (more by Zach Pollack)
Chelsea Wolfe returns this year with a new album, Pain Is Beauty, due out on September 3 via Sargent House. We've already heard some clips of it in an album trailer, and now she's finally revealed its first full song, "The Warden," a characteristically dark tune, but with electronics and beats running through it that are new ground for her. Check out the song below.
Chelsea's tour in support of the album hits NYC on September 13 at Bowery Ballroom. Tickets are still not on sale yet, but you can keep checking Ticketmaster.

The Northside Festival kicked off last night (June 14) with a number of performances across north Brooklyn, including Swans and Chelsea Wolfe at the Warsaw. Wolfe played her haunting, mellow set better suited to a quieter, smaller venue, but it provided a pleasant contrast for the aural onslaught of Swans.
"Fun" is not a word you usually hear used to describe the infamous New York band Swans. They formed in the early 80s when much of New York City -- and famously Alphabet City, where they practiced -- was a horrifying shit-hole. Their early material embodies the stress, the pain, the aggression, the terror of living in the city at that time. They play painfully loud live shows. Enigmatic front man Michael Gira is known for throwing fits on stage. The first time I saw them play, he stopped a performance mid-song to yell at multi-instrumentalist Thor Harris.
But during last night's performance, the band was visibly enjoying themselves.
I saw band members actually smile at one another. Craggy pedal steel player Christoph Hahn pulled faces at Thor. Michael Gira cracked jokes. When taking their bows, Gira even called Thor Harris "the hairiest nipples in the west." (... Accurate)
Yet their music was still as punishing as ever. Those foolish enough not to bring earplugs most certainly regret it today. Early in the set Gira sneered through the menacing "Coward." The band hammered out a fifty-minute version of "the Seer," the title track off their last album.
Tonight Torche, KEN mode, Lo-Pan, and Inter Arma play the Invisible Oranges showcase at 285 Kent. Greg Ginn's Black Flag plays Warsaw with The Men, among others (not to be confused with FLAG, even though you probably wish you could forget both bands ever "reformed") . Check out our guide to this year's Northside Festival for other awesome stuff that's happening, including the free McCarren Park shows.

The artfully gothy Chelsea Wolfe already has two great albums and an acoustic LP under her belt, and she's set to release a new album, Pain Is Beauty, on September 3 via Sargent House. Chelsea hasn't revealed any full tracks from it, but you can hear some snippets in an album trailer below. It's short, but from the sound of those clips, there's plenty to be excited about.
As mentioned, Chelsea Wolfe will open for Swans at Warsaw on June 13 as part of the Northside Festival, which is a great (and terrifying) pairing. Tickets for that show are still available, or you can try to get in with your Northside Badge.
After that show, Chelsea will take a couple months off, and then kick off a full North American tour beginning with her slot at LA's FYF Fest. That tour brings her back to NYC for a headlining show at Bowery Ballroom on September 13. Tickets for that show are not on sale yet, but you can check Ticketmaster for updates.
All dates are listed, along with the album trailer and tracklist, below...

Hope everyone had a great Record Store Day yesterday. As always, many of the previously unreleased tracks that came out yesterday have wound up on the internet. Check out streams of MGMT's new single, "Alien Days," Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds' Push the Sky Away b-side, "Animal X," Chelsea Wolfe's "Fight Like Gods" from her split with King Dude, Nicolas Jaar's remix of Grizzly Bear's "Sleeping Ute," and the video for Garbage and Screaming Females' Patti Smith cover below.
As mentioned, Pharrell was promising something "extra special" for his House of Vans show on Friday (4/19), and though Daft Punk didn't show up, he did play his new collaborative single with the duo, "Get Lucky." Three times. Check out a video of that below (via CoS).

Ex Cops DJing at Other Music, RSD 2012 (more)
We're about a week out from Record Store Day 2013. When it began in 2008, RSD was a celebration of brick-and-mortar stores in the face of digital downloads, offering up exclusive releases to get people out to stores. It's blown up considerably since then, with hundreds of RSD-only releases. (Many of which fall into the hands of folks who turn it around on Ebay that same day, but what can you do?) While it is a mob scene these days, there is no doubt it helps what record stores there are left -- though not enough, as Record Store Day will be the last day for Williamsburg's Sound Fix. Participating stores around the country are listed here.
There are always some pretty cool exclusives too, items that may have never seen the light of day without RSD. With that in mind we've gone through the list of North American RSD exclusives to highlight a few things to keep an eye out. This isn't comprehensive, just stuff we wanna get. What records are you trying to get this year?
We've written about the Sacred Bones comp, the Astralwerks comp, Old 97s, Frightened Rabbit, Austra, Sonny & the Sunsets, and Titus Andronicus Check out our new list below...
White Fence
As mentioned, White Fence's new album, Cyclops Reap, is out this week on John Dwyer's Castle Face label. Tim Presley doesn't seem to be running out of songs and this is another quality batch of paisley-scented psychedelia. You can stream "To The Boy I Jumped In The Hemlock Alley" below and hear the whole record over at Pitchfork.
White Fence will be in Brooklyn for the Northside Festival in June, playing two shows: the Panache showcase at Brooklyn Bowl on June 13 and then a late show at Knitting Factory on June 14. Tickets to the Knitting Factory show are on sale now; no word on Brooklyn Bowl tickets just yet.
The whole Panache showcase line-up is still forthcoming but we do know its being headlined by Mac DeMarco and we have updated dates for him below as well.
These are just a couple of the additions to the 2013 Northside line-up that includes that free Walkmen show in McCarren Park. Other new additions, Kylesa, Torche, Sonny & the Sunsets, Nü Sensae, Kisses, The Luyas and more. Northside line-up as it stands now is below.

The festival will take place across venues in and around North Brooklyn, with free concerts in McCarren Park, portions of Williamsburg streets shut down and Pitchfork taking over Saint Vitus for three nights of shows. More details are on the way.

There is admirable depth and careful perspective in Stephen Sizer's comprehensive survey of the political, exegetical and moral implications of Christian Zionism. If the apocalyptic ones, darkly suggested by the cover design, remain the hidden future, the logic for them is well clarified. Basic terms are clearly defined and the 18th-century origins of 'premillennial Restorationism' in Britain, taken as further in the 19th by speculative dispensationlism, caught up as these were in their idiosyncratic perceptions of the nature of mission and the place of Jewry in its sights. This shape of biblical handling coincided with broader evangelical sympathies in the political realm, symbolised by the eminent Lord Shaftsbury. The tangled negotiations behind the issue of the Balfour Declaration, in the form of a letter to Lord Rothschild, a prominent British Jew, late in 1917, are assessed against this background.
The analysis then shifts to the emergence of Christian Zionism in the USA and the confluence of sundry factors as to 'restoration', covenantal faith and—Arno Gaebelein—an inverted suspicion of 'anti-Semitism' in the strictures he had for 'secular Jews' whose reprehensible behaviour queried his predilection for 'worthy Zionist' Jews.
If the British factors, all the way from Irving and Darby to Shaftsbury and Spurgeon, facilitated the Balfour Declaration in its Zionist intent, the American narrative paved the way for still more defining consequence in the Partition Vote of thirty years later (1917-1947). The Biblicists are all diligently reviewed with references textual, and graphs, before Sizer moves to examine the organisational activity by which, in and away from Israel, objectives were pursued. Those hundred or so pages are followed by another equally meticulous hundred on the theologies at stake, in respect of futurism, covenant, chosen-ness and its bearing on non-Jewish relation, and the concept of 'return'. How these concepts were translated on the ground in Eretz Israel leads to the vexed issues of borders, of the status of Jerusalem, the Temple and anticipations of the future as the bias in eschatology might discern of distort it. It remains for the author to assess the current political situation, the elusiveness of peace and the immediate crisis to which the long narrative has led. Readers who can match the author's capacity for incisive documentation and his rigorous way with complexity are rewarded with a masterly presentation with which to wrestle.
Doing so suggests to any reviewer two responsive reflections which belong together. The one is the tragic misnomer that talks of 'Christian Zionism'. The other is the triple irony that hangs over it—over its story and its cast of mind. Doubtless the term is now so far current that there is no avoiding it. Yet it remains a contradiction in terms and so obscures how 'a Christian Zionism' could be of a very different order. Review might well conclude in pondering what it might be—and why.Meanwhile, anticipating that, there is the triple irony in the conventional sense of 'Christian Zionism'. It has better be thought 'the Zionism of some Christians', or 'Christians and Zionist—issues between', or, with that ever elusive conjunction: 'Christians and Zionism'. The three ironies will show why the phrasing matters. They are inter-related as (1) the primacy of 'God in Christ' in Biblical exegesis, (2) the integrity at stake, and (3) neglect of the supreme moralism of the great Hebrew prophets.
The duties of Biblical exegesis are taxing and easy literalism eludes them. It fails to set all under the priority of 'the Word made flesh' and the 'redemptive work of Christ' in its inclusive meaning in 'whosoever will may come', and its 'authority' to make all 'the children of God' on the sole, sufficient ground of faith. This does not cancel the historical precedence of 'the chosen people', or mean 'supersession', inasmuch as their inclusion perpetuates their standing inside the New Testament denominator of 'whosoever will' and the consequent vocation of all human ethnic and cultural identities to learn themselves 'chosen' instruments of the divine employ, of which original Israel had been a 'pilot scheme', a world exemplar in its given destiny—a destiny splendidly realised in the universalling of that 'people-of-God'-calling accessible, by personal faith, to the acceptance of all and sundry. Hence that ringing Ephesians word of '… no more Gentiles', and the insistent tautology of 'all peoples, tongues, kindred and nations' in the mind of John of Patmos.
This New Testament event, the mutual emergence of 'things historical believed' and the Church ensuing from believing them, deserves to control and discipline all Biblical exegesis lest its priority be forfeit. The 'two covenant theory', often adopted by 'Christian Zionists, does violence to the entire New Testament, ignores the initiatives of a wholly Jewish apostolate in opening 'a door of faith to Gentiles', and implies, or insists, that the Christian Church is where Jews are neither expected nor wanted—a most heinous form of anti-Semitism, as if to argue a faith-world without Jews. Inter-testamental relations now plead to be on far more solid theology than this facile one which 'heals all hurts slightly' and does justice to neither faith.
There was a healthy reproof in the teaching of Jesus himself for over-much subtlety about 'times and seasons'. It is well to have them stay in the keeping of the Lord we can trust on the 'event-told' trustworthiness of 'God in Christ'. 'Why stand ye gazing?' is a call we need to heed when trapped in over-much 'intuiting'.
Meanwhile vast moral issues wait for us here and now. One is our own integrity. There has often been a wry humour for the Menahem Begins of the Golda Meirs who have welcomed American 'Christian Zionists' to the Holy Land, accepted their ample dollars and taken them to visit the shrine of Yad-va-Shem. The wry-ness belongs with the vision, via help to Zion, of a duly mass entry of Jews into Christian faith. The one 'ingathering' will be prelude to the other. Was it well—the mixed motive apart—to read Paul's yearning for his people in quite those literal terms, terms that override his own constant insistence that the faith 'saved' was the faith of the private heart? Was it not truly 'evangelical' both to love and give disinterestedly and to have 'the kingdom of heaven' increase by gentle persuasion of its invitation, all other motives out? But that integrity issue deepens far in the third irony we noted, namely the way in which 'Christian Zionism' ignores the ethicism of an Amos, a Hosea, an Isaiah or a Micah. It has been well said that these are the surest, deepest mentors of Eretz Israel today, its most rigorous monitors of its destiny. What of steady settlement creation, at great Palestinian cost, in the light of Isaiah's cry: 'Woe to them that join house to house and field to field, until there is no room, that they may dwell alone in the midst of the earth' (5.8)? How would Micah's 'do justly …' square with bulldozed dwellings and uprooted olive groves and demolished houses under the exigencies of military sequestration or illegal confiscation?
Or how might Jeremiah's famous sermon at the Temple gate (7.1-7) rings in the ears of would-be invasive Israeli elements bent on enflaming highly inflammable emotions of religious enmity (here grimly analysed by Stephen Sizer, pp. 234-39)? Or could these bitter 'lamentations' attributed to Jeremiah not somehow echo in the souls of Palestinians, grieving at the forfeiture of their patrimony in the slow, sometimes cunning, always sinister, process of Israeli self-creation? To be sure, there was the compassionate reminder (Exodus 23.9) about 'loving the stranger' in recollection of the like Jewish experience in the land of Egypt. But what when 'the stranger' had been made such, where they believed that they authentically belonged, where they had never been fugitive guests as Israel had been, thanks to the Pharaonic reception of a Jewish Joseph? One nationalism, the Zionist, had contrived to threaten another, the Palestinian, and could even hint that the other had only discovered itself thanks to the Israeli presence, as though it were a pseudo thing. That implied negation of another's legitimacy came to be symbolised in the construction of 'the wall', ironically truncating a single land allegedly loved above all by those who built it. Could it be that Zionism could assert itself and make itself good territorially only at the price if the effective de-legitimising of another people no less married to the same territory and with no less lengthy emotional tenancy and a more continuous practical one?
It is not difficult on moral ground to realise how a Hosea or an Isaiah would now passionately interrogate and accuse the patterns of Israeli story since Balfour. 'On moral grounds' we must say. For the contexts do not correspond. Those great accusatory figures addressed the courts of political power but never occupied the thrones. They were within the Judaic power equation (hence their moral relevance now) but that power focus was itself under Assyrian or Chaldean threat—the threat from which some Amos drew his judgement as to guilt. How would he or his kindred spirit address the ruling, power-girt Jewish reality now?
At least Hosea leaves us in doubt. Things ethical are prior to things political, whatever the fashion of the latter. In Hosea 1.9 he is bold to cancel—by direct quotation the first 'God peopling' mandate in Exodus 3.14. 'I am not the "I am" you think I am' and (in those terms) 'you are not my people.' Surely in his anguish of heart he is using the utmost negation only in order to tell the supreme condition of its ever being positive.
'Chosen' status is not a perquisite but a vocation, not a prize but a privilege. It is here surely that any ministry of a truly 'Christian Zionism' to Zion in Israel should find its ministry of heart and hand. Only so would it be in obedience to the perspective of the New Testament and the divine intent of grace that, thanks to the first mentor in the 'the Old', all peoples should have individual access to 'the people of God' and then aspire to read their own nationhood as servant as newly and essentially also 'His people'.
That perception has one final pointer to reflection which readers of Sizer's excellent study may ponder with his help. It has to do with any Christian relation to the current crisis in the meaning of Judaism itself, as between a 'secular' diaspora and a re-asserted Zion. All religion today is caught in something of the same issue—as Islam certainly is. 'How—and who—is the Jew?' Initially Zionism was always a minority answer. During its course it has oddly—at times—used anti-Semitic rhetoric, castigating what it saw as supine, anonymous Jews, languishing among incorrigibly hostile 'Gentiles'. But were not these, or some of them, nobly striving to be 'enlanded' anywhere, finding a morally Jewish destiny in working out in moral contribution their happy compatibility with the tensions and the challenge of a shared, if ever bewildering, modernity? Marc Chagall was glad to salute the generous welcome he had found in the USA and to make his abiding in his beloved Saint-Paul-de-Vence (France) while ever cherishing the memory of his Vitebsk (Russia). Such will to be diligently cosmopolitan in today's exacting world-scene has better Jewish realism than David Ben Gurion's notion that all Jewry should repair to Israel, or that—by the sixties—we should be talking of 'post-Zionism', all things being now de facto done. Both diaspora and Israel have to know that all things are still indeterminate, whether the honest, viable, justly defined size of Israel, or the shape and spirit of a dispersed Jewry among the nations in translation of their 'chosen-ness'. Stephen Sizer's thoughts on these ultimate themes are summarised on pp. 261-64. His commendable labours will well equip his readers to address them. Meanwhile, perhaps we have to say that Armageddon also is sub judice.

Well, it sucks.
The patio builder decided to drive all over the lawn instead of wheel barreling everying. I have tire marks (too many to count) .. some up to 4 inch deep. What is the best way to repair? I know I will make them repair but I want to make sure they are doing it right. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had the same thing. The grass recovered after a good watering and a few days. If they left ruts in the you may be able to roll them out |
4 inches deep! OMG, your lawn is ruined..! I would insist on rotavating and complete reseeding if it were me. Your soil is heavily compacted and will take a long time to recover. He will probably take the fast route and fill the ruts with top soil and seed them. DONT LET HIM DO IT, your lawn will be patchy and horrible. I had horses run through my lawn 2 years ago. The owner apologised and offered to repair the damage. He simply filled in the divets with soil and reseeded. To this day, i can still see every divet in the lawn, the grass is a different texture and colour. Get him to make good the whole lot, you want it back to the way it was before the jerk drove all over it. |
Make him pay for the same seed you used for your current lawn (if you seeded it) or give him your seed if you have any left, smooth out the ruts, fill in the low spots and seed. Presto!! |
That sucks. If he would have let you know, you could have made a plywood path and probably saved the lawn. If you know what seed was used, repair is pretty simple. Fill in the ruts, seed, roll lightly and water. If you don't know/can't find the original seed, it gets trickier. If the grass is just pushed down and not torn up, you can "lift" the existing grass and put some topsoil underneath to level. You can basically cut up the grass like it was sod, but you have to treat it like sod afterward. If the grass is torn up, you'll have to reseed even if you don't know what seed was used. The best way to do that would be to cut all the grass low, aerate everything, fill the ruts with topsoil, over seed the whole lawn with extra on the bare spots, fertilize, roll everything in and water. By overseeding everything, you get a little of the new grass everywhere and the patches will blend much better. |
If you have a garden fork you may be able to ease some of the compaction and bring the grass up by working the fork along the tracks from both sides. This worked surprisingly well for me once. |

I have a 4 year old Kenmore front loader tumble Action Washer. Recently I have seen stains on my cottons that look as if some wrote on the clothes with a brown marker (strait lines). Other stains are just blotches of discoloration. These stains do not come out with further washings although they do fade. Not all clothes in the same load come out with stains. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I can think of 2 things that may be a cause....well water, or the machine is dispensing the detergent and/or fabric softener directly onto dry clothes. |

L O V E !!! **many kisses and thanks to bairn*** And our LINDA...my bulk supplier! This satisfies my current wintery lust for incense, cedar and sandalwood while not being too bitter nor too sweet. The drydown is reminiscent of Opium but less floral foody all the way through. I don't get an over-dose of cedar, but simply a lot of nice incense notes. Peppery top..and not too strong at any point. **Spray** instead of *dab* this one.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is too manly for me. I smell nothing but wood and leather, and only bought it because it reminds me of the 'cigar room' in my godfathers house when I was growing up. It was off limits, so when I'd sneak in I'd get a hit of that leather/ wood/ smoke and the adrenaline would kick in! I get the same thing with Nu, but I'd never actually put it on my skin.
im not wearing this right now, so im having to rely on memory with this one. i recall it not being particularly original, sweet, yet very well blended like rive gauche in that discerning individual notes can be a challenge. very soft and in a very kinky sort of way, reminding me of the smell of womens panty hose. it must be intentional as tom ford was still with YSL when this came out.
I like this one. I swapped for it and it's like Kingdom but less brash and assertive. Sophisticated and mysterious. It's different than most of the other stuff - not floral or sweet - but there but not alarming or weird. The drydown is very natural.
Elegant, sexy and bold! this is not for shy girls! This smells like a take charge, extremely confident woman. I had forgotten all about it..but it's been mentioned a few times in board lately. I specially like the dry down when the Vanilla emerges. fbw for sure, so why don't I own a bottle?? oh yeah I must have swapped it away...don't you hate when that happens? LOL
very deep and mysterious, for fans of woody, oriental scents. this is a scent to wear in late autumn. when it doesn't make me nauseous, which it does, sometimes.
Love this. I have bought it twice - when it was brand new at Holt Renfrew in EDP at the regular price. I usually waffle about new scents, but knew this was for me immediately. I like oriental scents and liked the woodsiness of this and the initial burst of pepper. This is my winter perfume - I wear lighter scents in the summer. Last fall I was lucky enough to get a bottle at a perfume discount store in Niagara Falls - 100 ml EDP for $40 Cdn. This is what I am wearing for this winter as well - I keep trying on other scents but haven't found anything I like better!
This scent is all about sophistication and confidence. Sandalwood, cedar, incense and spice tamed by brilliant floral and vanilla notes. I love that the vanilla here is a pure, high-toned one rather than the murky, if classic, vanilla of the Guerlains-esp Shalimar. Fabulous, lingering effect on sweaters and cashmere jackets.
Love it Love it Love it!
I love the spice and the woodyness of this one. It's so good, I only wear it on special occassions to "treat" myself=P

Who says you can't choose your relatives. We were visiting close by in Simsbury. We found this mavilous little B&B tucked away just down the street, so indiscreet, so comfortable. No detail was left unattended. We even had a live, full size, beautifully decorated and lightened Christmas tree in our room. We were made to feel at home. We entertained guest by the fireplace in the living room after a night out and diner. The bedding is top shelf, they even thought if a sound machine, we slept to the sound of the rain forest. breakfast was great, nicely prepaired. We invited a guest to join us, it was truly a wonderful visit! Our hosts treated us like favorite relatives. They will definitely see us again.... and our family.

My husband and I were overjoyed to find a b&b that allowed dogs, and was close to Hartford. Cathy and Jim exceeded all of our expectations. Not only were they friendly and very nice, but also, super accommodating. They allowed us to use space in their fridge, they made delicious vegetarian breakfast for us, at 4 am, they let us hang out after check-out, and they made our dog feel very welcome. On top of this, the room and the whole b&b, were absolutely immaculate. I am notoriously hard to please, but Green Acres was absolutely perfect; clean, cozy, and very welcoming. We hope we can visit this lovely home, and wonderful innkeepers again, soon.

Jim and Cathy are amazing hosts, and their 1700's B&B home is absolutely magnificent. Every amenity is of top quality, the furnishings are gorgeous, the bed was exquisitely comfortable, the grounds are beautiful, and the chickens are the perfect added touch. Jim and Cathy really care about their guests and are such kind people to have opened their home to three elderly shelter dogs as well as the free-roaming chickens which provide eggs for the most delicious omelets one will ever taste. We LOVED our time at Green Acres and recommend it with the highest accolades! Jane & Art, NY

My husband and I just got home from Green Acres B&B, and we cannot wait to return. We chose to stay here based on the reviews below, so I had pretty high expectations. Even still, Jim and Cathy managed to go above and beyond what I ever would have expected from hosts. Pros: 1. The bed was very comfortable. The room was cozy, and there was no noise to disturb us. We stayed in the Trade Room which had a private door leading to the backyard patio and pool. 2. There were complimentary snacks, soft drinks, sherry, and AMAZING homemade cookies in the room. 3. You get to choose your own breakfast from a menu. Do yourself a favor and choose the skillet - sausage, onions, peppers, cheese, and a freshly laid egg by one of his chickens. 4. You also get to choose what time you want to eat and where. We ate outside on the patio and enjoyed the company of the chickens and Champion the dog. 5. The grounds are beautiful to walk around. You can relax by the pool, go for a swim, relax on the hammock, and hang out with the chickens who walk around on their own. If you ask, Jim will also take you in the barn to see the baby chicks he is raising. 6. After an absolutely amazing evening and delicious breakfast in the morning, we couldn't ask for anything more, but then Jim and Cathy gave us even more cookies for the drive home. They are super thoughtful and just the best hosts! Cons: NOTHING. The only sad part was leaving so soon. We can't wait to return. Thanks again Jim and Cathy!

Jim and Cathy are super hosts who really care about their guests. Elegant luxury in a 270 year old carefully rehabbed historic farmhouse! Food was delicious and attractively presented. Watching their delight upon arrival of new baby chicks was priceless. (Future source of breakfast eggs - doesn't get any fresher than growing your own!).

Our hosts at the Green Acres B&B, Jim and Cathy, both made us feel very welcome throughout our recent stay at the Green Acres B&B. We really enjoyed our stay, and have already booked our return visit! Green Acres is a beautifully restored 18th century farmhouse, and is very conveniently located for anyone visiting the Hartford area (20 minutes from the city center). We stayed in the Trade Room, which is charmingly decorated (I really loved the huge wardrobe). Most importantly the Queen sized bed was very comfortable, and we both got a good night's sleep. I particularly enjoyed exploring the gardens the next day, which were full of spring flowers, and then relaxing by the pool. Looking forward to our return.

I was hoping for a nice stay and received so much more. My room was lovely and comfortable and appointed with fresh flowers, complimentary refreshments, and chocolates! Jim and Cathy the hosts were friendly and welcoming. And the breakfasts delicious - farm fresh eggs are the best! I'm happy that I had a moment to walk the grounds with their chickens for company. I would not only stay here again, but want to find time to go back.

Charming doesn't begin to describe this place. I've stayed at a lot of B&Bs, and don't usually feel compelled to review them, but Green Acres deserves the effort. We stayed for two very comfortable nights while we explored the Hartford area. I would like to return during high season, as the pool and grounds looked like they would be gorgeous in the summer. Still, we got to enjoy the house's fireplaces and cozy interior. The house retains all the best parts of 18th century architecture/embellishments while adding luxury bathrooms, memory foam mattresses, well-stocked mini-fridges, and sherry. The grounds host a brood of free-range hens, which the proprietor will let you visit (when the weather's good, the chickens can also accompany you on the patio for breakfast if you want). The house is also home to several adorable derpy dogs, so prepare your best "aww"s. The proprietor is very warm and a great cook. I often find that breakfasts at B&Bs can be a little awkward if the host hovers etc., but the atmosphere at Green Acres was very relaxed and laissez-faire. The house is right on a main road (a charming, smallish main road, but a main road nonetheless). We didn't have any trouble with the noise, but the rooms come with white noise machines, so it's clearly something that the proprietor has thought of. The other minor issue was that the upstairs bedrooms were both pretty warm at night (but better too hot than too cold in March?). We ended up using fans (conveniently located in the closets) for the second night. To be fair, it didn't occur to us to ask the proprietor about the temperature—there was probably a way to adjust it. In short: I would highly recommend Green Acres; in fact we're looking for excuses to return to Hartford just to stay there again.

Very kind, attentive innkeepers. Loved the home. Very charming. The wide plank pine floors are my favorite. Excellent breakfasts both mornings.

My husband and I stayed at Green Acres for one night before Thanksgiving. Cathy and Jim were so kind and welcoming and we had a very restful stay. Their home is clean and very comfortable and we had everything we could ever want, including homemade cookies (YUM!) and coffee anytime. Breakfast was fantastic and generous! I wish we could have stayed longer, but we will definitely be back to stay the next time we visit Hartford. Thank you so much!

The best of all possible arrangements was set up; we didn't rely on any one person to do it all; there was a volunteer(s) for all the different times and major chores. Gail Bond did virtually all the organizing - countless hours of email and phone time. Friday afternoon and evening bode to be a wicked experience with Sierrans arriving anywhere from 4 until past midnight and needing help and golf cart transportation by the Scouts - Jenny Jacobs, Gail Bagley and Al Greulich were gracious and efficient. On Saturday Bob Taylor, Paul Anderson and Frances Coleman were there before breakfast to set up the meeting area and handle problems - Gail Bagley reappeared to finish registration. Bob, Paul and Frances stayed for all the meetings and meals; new talents were revealed as the Drs Bob and Paul washed dishes, swept and mopped! With a little luck we won't have to host again for several years but we can do it - and well - if we have to! ....Frances H. Coleman ANCIENT ISLANDSAt our January meeting redesigning the newsletter ignited lively discussion. Out of left field a loose consensus formed around the ancient island concept. Our area is unique as the "oldest land" in Florida with flora and fauna (developing over milllennia in isolation) found nowhere else in the world. We would be really missing a golden opportunity if we failed to capitalize on what makes us special and failed to develop appropriate educational symbols. Is there an artist out there who would like to help? ...Frances H. Coleman FAIR REPRESENTATION, FAIR ELECTIONSDoes that title sound like 'pie in the sky'? With the gerrymandering of election districts, it is the norm for every incumbent running for re-election to win. No one who lives in the real world will ever say that's because they're all doing a good job. Realists know it is a result of the legislators redrawing their own district lines. The districts, many of contorted shape, contain overwhelmingly high concentrations of voters registered to one party. The result: no real competition between the parties and government becomes increasingly lop-sided. Traditionally and constitutionally, every ten years, the Florida Legislature is required to reapportion the Congressional and legislative seats. If the Legislature is controlled by the Democrats, the districts are drawn to maximize the number of 'safe' seats for the Democrats. If the Republicans control the State House, they work the districts to their advantage. This is not just a Florida problem. In California the Republican governor is working to change the manner of redistricting and is being resisted by the Democratically controlled legislature. Remember the truism: Absolute power corrupts. How can this subversion of democracy be made right? The Campaign for Florida's Future has an ambitious goal of getting three amendments to the state constitution passed in the 2006 election:
Getting this done will be hard because incumbent legislators will bring all their power to bear against it. But, if we who care about fair elections mobilize to get petitions signed, we can do it. Call me to get a petition or pick one up at the February meeting. ....Frances H. Coleman

Morning all!
Made it through the first week of school which is pretty much non-stop meetings. Can't wait for Tuesday when our kiddoes come back! When I arrived home yesterday, there was a hawk in our yard-very cool. I am hoping he (or she)will help me with my chipmunk issues! :) Unfortunately, I suspect it will be the song birds who get the worst of it. I always know when the hawks are around because my bird seed doesn't disappear as quickly as usual. Good for me, bad for them! So, how about a little bird trivia today? Are you familiar with the Arctic Tern? Can you tell me what is unique about this little bird? Cynthia |

Ohh, my tom-cat Nicademus says he'll come down and help you with your 'edible art' - he loves chipmunks!!! Hmmm!! Arctic terns. Probably something to do to with the 'arctic' part, lol, but I have no idea!! Must go to work and think on this!! Have a great day all - Nancy. |

Hello all! It is Labor Day weekend, the unofficial end of summer. Many Americans will be doing bbq and indulging in quantities of great food. I might do hamburgers with my Weber kettle grill, maybe...we shall see. There is a clue in my prattling. Regards, Lorna |
Hmmm, Lorna, now I am trying to figure out your clue! I am not sure we are thinking along the same lines, but I will wait to see. If summer is your clue, that could be a good one. Otherwise, I am lost. Nancy, would welcome Nicademus. I suspect he would not leave three foot deep holes when going after those critters like Annabelle does! Cynthia |

This makes me think of a certain sport. Annette |
Wow. I am so lost and it is my question! Ha. Anyway, the hawk is not around today. At least not that I've seen, but it is too soon for him to be moving on-he usually stays a few weeks. Yes, sad to see summer leave. Wouldn't it be nice to have a second home where it is still summer? I have lots of plants to put it this weekend. It is a little early, but I have a hard time saying no when things are on sale. I will be traveling to Maryland again this weekend (at least I hope I will) to check out the camellias that have recently arrived at my favorite nursery. I need some to hide the neighbor's new spite fence! Chuck just doesn't understand why I travel so far (about an hour drive), but they do have the best selection! Unfortunately, it will have to be tomorrow since the grandpuppy just arrived. John is up in Baltimore at some huge BMW thing (he took Chuck's M5 and will try to find someone who might want to buy it-fingers crossed) and Kelly has a party. Labor Day weekend here means people travelling! Back soon. It is trying to rain a little, but not so bad that I can't dig some little holes. Cynthia |
I don't know this one at all, but I'm sifting for clues in your posts, Cynthia, and I think you are aiming us toward traveling. Maybe the tern has to fly really far for something, like mating or nesting. Just a guess. TM |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sat, Sep 3, 11 at 14:23
I'm thinking along the same lines TM. Annette |
Ooooh, Annette, maybe I do get your sport clue now. TM, you are close, but don't sweat the details! Cynthia |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sat, Sep 3, 11 at 18:33
Eeeeee - not sure - maybe the furthest migration? I was thinking maybe it never stopped moving, else it froze, but of course, it is in the arctic in the summer. Too many ideas swimming in my head!!! Nancy. |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sat, Sep 3, 11 at 22:32
The Arctic Tern migrates from the Arctic to Antarctica, that's one heck of a distance to travel. I don't know of another bird that travels that far. Annette |
As a birder I know the artic tern for its long migration that allows it to summer in both the Arctic and Antarctica. I have no idea what sport to which Annette is referring. |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sun, Sep 4, 11 at 4:46
LOL, pole vaulting. Annette |
Such a bunch of smarties! **** for Annette (plus an extra for the clever clue! *), Bobbie (also an extra star for knowing they enjoy two summers by migrating from the north to south hemisphere! *), and Nancy. *** for TM since he did know that it had something to do with a long flight. Lorna, tell me if you deserve stars. I am not sure and couldn't get your clues! :) Yes, the Arctic Tern migrates farther than any other known animal. Flying from pole to pole, it travels approximately 44,000 miles each year! Terns live for about 20 years, although many live as long as 30 years. They are very social birds and live in colonies of about 50 birds. Their feet are webbed, but they don't spend time in the water; they avoid it, prefering to swoop down, but keep on flying once they skim the prey out of the water. Here is one example of this bird's amazing long-distance flying abilities: an unfledged chick ringed on the Farne Islands, Northumberland, UK in the summer of 1982,arrived in Melbourne, Australia, in October 1982. That was a sea journey of over 22,000 km (14,000 mi) in only a few months from fledging! The Arctic Tern almost never lands and spends more time in sunlight than dark due to its migration. It spends it summers at the poles, enjoying two summers every year, not unlike some people we know who head to warmer climes for a break from winter! ;) Thanks for playing everyone. Cynthia |
- Posted by midnightsmum 4b ON (My Page) on Sun, Sep 4, 11 at 9:50
omg Annette - too funny!!! Never would have guessed that one!!! And what the heck were you doing online at that hour??!! Nancy. |
Thanks for the stars, Cynthia. I totally missed the second summer clue - good one! And Annette - pole vaulting - ha ha! If the Arctic Tern almost never lands, which now sounds familiar to me, do we know how or when it sleeps? Interesting stuff! TM |
- Posted by aftermidnight Z8 V. Island B.C. (My Page) on Sun, Sep 4, 11 at 10:33
Nancy, what was I doing up at that hour? I've been a night owl most of my life. Oh course that little nap taken earlier might have had something to do with it. Annette |
- Posted by lorna-organic (My Page) on Sun, Sep 4, 11 at 10:55
Cyn, I thought the answer was webbed feet, because terns aren't considered swimmers as are the other birds which have webbed feet. No stars for me! Regards, Lorna |
TM, apparently birds that migrate long distances can put half their brain to sleep (unihemispheric sleep) while the other half is awake and alert. How cool is that?! Cynthia |
Interesting!! So their body doesn't need the sleep, just their brain, half at a time. Pretty cool alright. TM |

I read the responses about 'dog-germs', but I want to know if I should prevent the dog from licking the baby. The baby is learning to crawl and g-d help her, she will catch the poor dog!
Yes, dogs have germs in their mouths but so do humans. So, if you Are worried about it, this means you should NOT kiss your baby on the mouth either! I would not worry too much about it. I am a believer in exposing kids to germs to build up their immune systems. We spend so much time trying to prevent germs these days! Kids and dogs have been co-existing for millenia.

Adair's research interests are studying representations of women on welfare, and analyzing the impact of welfare reform, education, and public policy. Adair was the founder and director of the ACCESS Project, a pilot program that assists disadvantaged parents in their efforts to earn college degrees.
She is the author of From Good Ma to Welfare Queen, A Genealogy of the Poor Woman in American Literature, Photography and Culture (Garland 2000) and the co-editor of Women, Poverty and the Promise of Education in America (Temple University Press, 2003). She has also written articles that have appeared in Harvard Educational Review; Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society; Feminist Studies; Labor: Studies in Working Class History of the Americas; Pedagogy; Public Voices; Radical Teacher; On Campus with Women: Journal of the Association of American Colleges and Universities, and as numerous book chapters.
In 2000 Adair received the John L. Hatch Teaching Award, awarded each year to a Hamilton faculty member "who demonstrates extraordinary commitment to teaching." In 2002 she was appointed as the Elihu Root Peace Fund Professor in Women's Studies, and in 2004 she was named the CASE/Carnegie New York State Professor of the Year, the first women's studies professor in the nation to receive this honor.
