Welcome to the first officially supported ClockworkMod for the Epic 4G since cwm 220.127.116.11, I think it's been over a year now...
Changes since 188.8.131.52:
* Backups are tar files by default, with the filesystem type noted in the filename. Backups automatically reformat to the backup filesystem before restore. This will work to restore rfs and ext4 setups. So, for example, if you're currently on rfs, but your backup was done while on the ext4 filesystem, the restore will reformat back to ext4 before restoring. Older backups done by cwm 3.x and ACS Recovery can be restored by this ClockworkMod version, and will not reformat before restoring older backups.
* This cwm is not meant for mtd partition layout / yaffs2 filesystem, that is another matter entirely, and mtd will require it's own cwm build and kernel, that will most likely be in the official CM repo when it's done.
* One "No" in confirmations, for all but factory wipe: Make a blank file called .one_confirm (that is a period in the beginning of the name), and place it in /sdcard/clockworkmod directory. This works right now with 3 finger boot from power off, but will be added to the next Clockwork Recovery update in ROM Manager. When that happens, then it will also work from the option Reboot into Recovery, when called from ROM Manager. This is now official, so that in the future, anyone with ClockworkMod 5.0.27+ will be able to benefit from this. Thanks to chris41g for this edit and push to the official source.
* Keycodes were fixed to work with the gingerbread kernel... and menu was fixed up a bit.
up = vol up, keypad up, keypad left
down = vol down, keypad down, keypad right
back = back cap key, power button, keypad backspace key
select = home cap key, keypad enter key, camera button
toggle display = keypad d key
reboot = power button 5 times, no matter where you are in the cwm menu
If your current kernel is a froyo kernel, then the cap keys will be reversed... We will have some growing pains, until everyone is on board with gingerbread, and the kernel devs start implementing the kernel mod described below, to change the mode of reboot recovery to go to bml8 recovery partition. If you are running gingerbread, then you can flash this prerelease:
This isn't exactly finished yet, but it's stable, and has voodoo sound, root, busybox, etc.
* DO NOT REPARTITION YOUR SDCARD WITH CLOCKWORKMOD. There are problems associated with this that I will detail later.
* I highly recommend flashing both the new recovery kernel and the ROM Manager update... pretty soon, ROM Manager will be able to flash our favorite ROMs, by downloading and flashing from ROM Manager.
At this time, I recommend flashing the new cwm over ACS Recovery. Testing has shown that backups done when the ROM Manager fakeflash is called through ACS Recovery, is that the backups won't be in the proper format... they will probably work, but not in the way the CWM 5 intends it too, with fs saved tar backups.
I know that some of you are avid fans of ACS Recovery, and I have nothing against that. In fact, it should be pretty easy for chris41g to make a new version if he so desires... and, he did contribute to the official source, which is something I truly appreciate In fact, I have been working with koush, to get some other of the most requested features, into the official cwm sources, so they can benefit everyone in android. One of the first new features to be put into the next cwm update in ROM Manager, is the ability to have only one "No" in the confirmations, if the file /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm is present. chris41g authored this for the cwm sources. Also, we have been given the go ahead to implement the inclusion of reboot into download mode from the main cwm menu in the official sources as well
Firstly, flash the new recovery with odin/clockworkmod.
Also, I'd recommend a known working kernel for the new recovery:
md5: 389f5b1745352326c9357c1252cd37b9
This isn't exactly finished yet, but it's stable, and has voodoo sound, root, busybox, etc.
Nubernel by nubecoder for gingerbread
other kernel devs feel free to link me to your posts!
Get ROM Manager from the market, and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
Choose the Samsung Epic4G.
It should then download, and you should see ClockworkMod version: 126.96.36.199
Now, whenever you use ROM Manager for anything, it will automatically load the latest supported ClockworkMod for the Epic.
DEVELOPERS: Please visit this forum thread, and learn all you need to know about getting your zips listed in ROM Manager, and the features available for you to use.
KERNEL DEVELOPERS: It is highly recommended at this time to use this commit, to change boot mode for reboot recovery to boot from bml8 recovery partition:
OK, here are the links:
cwm-184.108.40.206-epic4g.tar tar flash for odin
cwm-18.104.22.168-epic4g.tar mirror
md5: edd321a3aa2ba4c73f1d3612e9b19c05
cwm-22.214.171.124-epic4g.zip zip flash for cwm
md5: 869baf2d6a52b5604764f70556c9482e
Flashing ClockworkMod Recovery Kernel:
Setting up ROM Manager for the Epic 4G:
Thanks goes to:
koush - Creator of ClockworkMod, and very good guy for his patience and willingness to listen to the needs of the Epic community, and the android community at large.
mkasick - help with C code to support rfs formatting in the official cwm sources.
chris41g - inclusion of code in official sources to permit one "no" in confirmations, if file /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm is present

April 6, 1925 - December 3, 2013 Dr. Gerald Leonard Stovall M.D. passed away peacefully at home December 3, 2013. The patriarch of the pioneer Stovall family, he was attended to by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren in his last days and his children were at his side when he transitioned. Gerald was born in Los Angeles in 1925. His father Dr. Leonard Stovall, who arrived in Los Angeles from Atlanta around 1895, was the first African-American graduate of USC Medical School and the first African-American physician on staff at General Hospital. His mother Yolande moved to Los Angeles from Denver around the turn of the century and became a
and erudite world traveller. Gerald graduated from Los Angeles High School and took a degree at
. He served in India during
, then returned to marry his high school sweetheart, the lovely Pauline Jones. Gerald and Pauline had first a daughter Pamela, then a son Steven. After the latter was born, Gerald went to Washington D.C. to attend Howard University Medical School. He was soon joined by his family, and Pauline worked as the secretary of the Dean of Howard University while Gerald pursued his studies. He took his M.D. at Howard in 1957 and returned to Los Angeles with his family. He had a general practice out of two offices in South Los Angeles for many years, and was on staff at County General and later the Hubert Humphrey Clinic. Gerald was preceded in death by his younger sister Yolande, who was also a physician. His heart was broken by the passing in 2002 of his beloved wife of 55 years Pauline, herself a schoolteacher and principal. Gerald is survived by children Pamela and Steven, grandchildren Khalief, Amorette, Kenji, Isa, Amran, and Ashley, and a host of great-grandchildren. He was a gregarious, generous man known for his kindness, charity, and good humor. He had many friends, including the large contingent of fellow Howard alumni that formed the core of the South Los Angeles professional community during the 1960's. He was a 40-year member emeritus of the Xi Boule of Sigma Pi Phi and belonged to the Guardsmen. He grew up with jazz legends Eric Dolphy, Dexter Gordon, and Charles Mingus, and always loved the music, compiling an archive of recordings that spanned the history of jazz. Gerald ran track at L.A. High and always regarded track and field as the purest of all sports, and would travel to track meets all over the west, but he also loved basketball and was an avid follower of the Lakers and UCLA Bruins. He was a great fan of motion pictures, particularly films with African-American themes and casts, and continued to collect VHS tapes and DVDs until the end of his life. He was also a great lover of art, and had an extensive collection of paintings, drawings, and lithographs. Gerald lived a long, full, virtuous life and was loved by many. His memory will be with us always. Services will be held at 1:00 P.M. on Saturday, December 14 at Angelus Funeral Home.

Deschampsia (Hair Grass)
In looking for some early blooming grass, I am considering adding some Deschampsia. Does it bloom before Calamagrostis Karl Foerster? Does anyone have experience with Deschampsia Cespitosa 'Fairy Wand' who can describe it's performance and form? And finally of the Deschampsia varieties available, which varieties do you grow and what are your opinions of them?
I grow species Deschampsia caespitosa, and I love it. I have one clump coming into it's 3rd year, and have another 16 clumps starting this year.
I know you're looking at the cultivars, so I won't dwell on the species, other than to say it's a beautiful well-contained bunch grass. It's evergreen for me, and bloomed from late spring to mid-summer.
As I've mentioned before, I grow D. caespitosa Schottland and Bronzelscheir and both bloom before Karl Foerster in my yard. I like both just fine, perhaps the blooms of Schottland a little more. The blooms of both are held way above the foliage, and the blooms can be cut back once you want the warm season grasses to take the spotlight - foliage on the Deschampsias remains low and tidy.
"Fairy Wand"* is a common name for the species, Deschampsia caespitosa. It flowers early and is attractive but the least favorite of those that I grow.
In my zone 5a garden, D.c. ÂSchottland flowers alongside its companions of Calamagrostis ÂKarl Foerster; ÂGoldenhaenge a bit later and 'Bronzeschleier' after that (in partial shade) when its companion, Ligularia p. 'The Rocket,' blooms.
I like them all; theyÂre very similar in habit, flower and form, and they stay looking good throughout the summer. I usually cut them back in late fall, as they donÂt stand up through snow cover. They donÂt self-seed for me in 5a and are only somewhat evergreen.
*[This is not to be confused with a viviparous cultivar, D.c.ÂFairyÂs Joke, which, according to Darke, produces "tiny young plants in place of seeds" that weigh the flowers to the ground where the plantlets take root.]

Metal Dragonfly
This is just down the road from me. Not sure if you can tell from the picture but this is HUGE. Probably a 10=12 ft wing span. Very neat art!
Something like that would look great on a fence post over by the pond.
I've got 10,000 cotton bale ties about 8" long that would work for the wings. I've got 2 welding tables 10" long I could fabricate the wings on. Problem is both tables are covered with good junk for those projects I haven't started yet and I think there is an 8 year backlog if I don"t pick any more of that "I might need this someday" junk.
But I have saved the picture and it"s now in my "Roundtoit" file.
Tinfoil! I have a "Craft" room that is now called the crap room cuz of just the same reason!!! Thank You! I'm not alone!!!! Oh ya... I LOVE dragonflies...this one is great!!!

Fashion Friday: Spring into spring with 9 Tri-State boutiques to discover or rediscover in 2014

I just might. I've been dying to actually talk about beer with someone other than my extremely patient (but uninterested) SWMBO.
I buy all my ingredients at Flying Barrel, so I certainly know the way!
I'll be there (dunno if that helps or hurts your decision to go, LOL).
I've only been once before but everyone there was super nice.
I'm a member of WooTown - meeting is the 16th up at the Thirsty Brewer in Baldwin.
It's a very social club - lots of drinking.
Plus, there's our HBT group - we'll meet up and try beers and talk about beers any time, we just don't have any set schedule or formal meeting agenda.

electrolux vs asko (both gas and stacked)
We narrrowed it down to electrolux vs Asko stacked units. Asko (27in). I like Asko because it has a rinse only option and can heat the water to 95 C. Any owners of Asko? How is there gas dryer?
I love elctrolux capacity but worried that it cannot do rinse and spin only option.
Also how is there gas dryer? Any owners could comment?
Thank you
As with Miele, ASKO can be problematic when you are not situated close to its service centers or cannot find the proper third-party (and I believe all ASKO service is third-party) to support your purchases. There are complaints of ASKO taking too long to get parts. We have an ASKO dishwasher that is going on well over a decade of service, but I have contacted ASKO in the past (good luck) and it is a veritable PITA. Personally, I do not like Electrolux products as I have seen how they are constructed, but you will be able to get them serviced much easier. Esoteric brands like Miele and ASKO are highly dependent on the service availability, competency level of the service technicians, and parts availability.

When the Lingerie Football League's new Toronto team participates in its first league draft, their top pick should be a new PR person. Here's how the Toronto Triumph franchise was unveiled in a news story in the Toronto Sun tabloid last week:
"Toronto is well on its way to putting the "umph" in Triumph." Ewwww.
Yes, the redoubtable LFL has crossed the border into Canada, billing itself as "true fantasy football" for men who like to watch big-screen sports in strip clubs.
As appalling as this sounds, it gets worse: Canada is being prepped for a major expansion of lingerie football, with six Canadian teams slated for the 2012-13 season of the new Canadian Lingerie Football League and the first-ever Canadian Lingerie Bowl slated for Grey Cup weekend.
The Toronto Triumph — which appears to be the only LFL team actually named after a major lingerie brand — will be followed by teams in a bunch of cities where exposed skin freezes in 30 seconds during winter: Winnipeg, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Calgary and more. No word on whether there will be a team in balmy Victoria, B.C., but we hope so just because of the obvious naming opportunity: Victoria's Secrets?
And some people are taking all this seriously. There's already a league website, and an exhibition match slated for Winnipeg in July — taking place in a golf dome (in case it snows?).
And the new league's slogan? "Canada, Prepare To Be Unlaced". (See what I mean about needing a PR person?)
The announcement of the Toronto franchise generated loads of publicity last week, and if you've ever seen most sportswriters you'd understand why. There was a lot of earnest scribbling about athleticism and competition and even some handicapping of next season's schedule (the league will field 12 teams in its third full season, each of whom will play three 34-minute games in an action-packed five-month season).
What's not clear yet is how well this will go over in my home and native land. Canadian fans are fanatically proud of this country's very unique style of football, and it remains to be seen whether they'll appreciate the LFL's attempts to piggyback on that heritage. Or what the WAGs might say about their lads rooting for a bunch of underdressed and underemployed models playing grab-ass in the snow.
But those concerns didn't dampen enthusiasm around this weekend's first tryouts for the new Toronto team: more than 100 women (including the mayor's niece, shown above) tried out for one of 14 spots on the roster.
If you want to learn more about the Lingerie Football League, check out our definitive LFL guide from last year.
And, to get a sense of the kind of marketing behind this, here's Playboy's recent SFW video showing the world's sexiest locker room. Listen carefully for this bit of insider insight: "In order to have a great team, you need players who can go both ways."

We've had a couple of days now to gush over royal wedding fashions and, in particular, The Dress: the beautiful lace-trimmed gown created for the new Duchess of Cambridge by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.
But there was an even more closely guarded royal wedding secret, the truth of which will likely never be revealed: what Kate was wearing underneath.
While the House of McQueen (and various hat designers) will enjoy an almost immeasurable boost from their association with the royal wedding, couture lingerie labels favored by Kate and company will know no such bounty. The nature of the business, after all, is private and the contents of Kate's trousseau will, quite appropriately, remain a secret known only to the royal couple and their closest helpers.
One UK lingerie boutique, however, will enjoy a lot of attention and new business thanks to their brush with royalty.
According to Britain's Daily Mail, part of Kate's wedding prep included a trip to Angela Knight Lingerie in the Berkshire town of Hungerford along with her mother Carole and sister Pippa.
According to the paper's report: "The trio had a private fitting in Angela Knight Lingerie on April 16, while two protection officers waited outside. Miss Knight, who owns the business, refused to disclose the exact items bought by the bride, but revealed she, Carole and Pippa bought 'sets of lingerie.'
"When asked if their purchases may have been part of the trousseau — the set of clothes a bride-to-be buys for her wedding day and married life — Miss Knight laughed coyly. But last week, a package labeled with the shop's name was delivered to the Middletons' home 16 miles away in Bucklebury."
Carole Middleton has been a customer of Knight's for several years, and the shop was closed for privacy when the Middleton girls arrived.
Although Knight herself isn't providing any details about what was purchased, it's possible to make some educated guesses based on the store's inventory.
Angela Knight Lingerie carries luxury lines like Australian labels Pleasure State and Sally Jones, British superbrands Panache and Freya, and sexy UK indies like Ell & Cee and Myla (see below). There's even a "naughty corner" in the shop, where one can stock up on feather boas, riding crops, tasseled pasties and the like. Lots to choose from for any bride-to-be!
Given the style of Kate's wedding gown, a premium Velda Lauder corset may well have been part of the lingerie shopping trip and, given Pippa's sleek silhouette on the wedding day, some shaping undergarments were almost certainly part of the package — not that the Middleton girls have much need for control tops and the like.
While Kate Middleton wowed the world in two haute couture McQueens for her wedding day, she departed from Buckingham Palace the next morning, hand in hand with her new husband, wearing a very designer-looking blue dress from Zara. And maybe, just maybe, some Angela Knight lingerie underneath.
Knight, meanwhile, isn't completely staying out of the spotlight. She launched a new website on the weekend and this morning was interviewed on BBC Radio.
Otherwise, for someone with a privileged glimpse into the private life of the world's most famous bride, Knight's discretion will likely earn her as many new fans as her boutique and its many covetable brands.
Here are some photos of her shop and some of its wares:

Studying wine grapes in their natural habitat is much more enjoyable than exploring the dank, melancholy caverns of root beer's namesake. Stroll through blissful vineyards with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
$24 for a wine-tasting package for 2 (a $48 total value)
- Proprietor tasting for two, including two souvenir glasses (a $20 value)
- One bottle of chardonnay (a $28 value)

$245 for a wine-tasting package for 10 (a $490 total value)
- Legacy tasting for 10 (a $50 value)
- Five bottles of chardonnay (a $140 value)
- Transportation to and from the winery in a luxury bus (a $300 value)

Duos sample five wines from Missouri, California, Oregon, or Washington next to the fireplace in a spacious tasting room. They also take home glasses etched with the Chandler Hill Vineyards logo. Groups of 10 ride in style to the winery and can share five bottles of riesling or chardonnay after their tastings. The shuttle is only available Monday–Friday during normal business hours.

Chandler Hill Vineyards
Chandler Hill Vineyards' rolling, verdant rows of Norton, Chambourcin and Vignoles grapes and placid lakeside views offer visitors a quiet place to get away from it all. Built on land once owned by freed slave Joseph Chandler, the winery still retains the essence of the past. The 5,000-square-foot, lodge-like tasting room stands on the site of Chandler's modest cabin. Century-old artifacts discovered during the excavation, including a shotgun and a Hoveround, remain on display, and stones from the original foundation have been carefully repurposed. As candles in a wrought-iron fixture flicker overhead, guests here sip wines from Missouri and the West Coast and chat by a glowing fire in a large stone fireplace.
In its A-List 2010 feature, St. Louis Magazine said, "We're fans of many regional wineries, but there's something about Chandler Hill that feels a little more sophisticated, a little extra tucked-away." Thanks to its picturesque vineyards, 5,000-square-foot deck for warm-weather relaxation, and events such as live music performances, the secluded spot was named the Most Fun Winery on Ladue News's 2012 Platinum List.

Blogs Liberty and Power Democracy and Saudi ArabiaApr 25, 2005 3:10 pm
Democracy and Saudi Arabia
I've had a lot to say about Saudi Arabia, and about the Bush administration's Adventures in Mideast Democracy.
Well, in Episode #2,345 of this Quixotic Political Saga, the Saudi royal family, which has been a trusted US"ally,""has been under pressure from Washington to engage in political reform at a time of social tension and a two-year campaign against the state by militants associated with al-Qaeda." Today, the news tells us:
Candidates on an alleged"golden list" backed by religious clerics have swept the final round of Saudi Arabia's first nationwide municipal elections. Islamist candidates won all the municipal council seats contested in the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. They also fared well in northern towns as well as the comparatively liberal port of Jeddah, according to results released on Saturday. Women were barred from the polls, which were presented as a step towards more popular participation in public life.
Of course, the regime itself will pick"roughly half" of 1,200 councillors, which might"dilute" the power of Islamicists. Not that the Saudi regime is all that liberal by comparison. After all, this election news comes on the heels of another news story that the Saudis had detained 40 Pakistani Christians who were caught"attending a service in Riyadh" in a private home. The police also found (horrors!!)"Christian tapes and books." Since one cannot practice any religion other than Islam in Saudi Arabia, this is a crime, in case you were wondering.
I get exhausted pointing out the obvious. This is a regime that is allegedly a"friend" of the United States government. Let's put aside the prospects for democracy among"unfriendly" regimes. Of what use is procedural"democracy" when a"friendly" regime schools its citizens in a fanatical ideology of intolerance, when it marginalizes and criminalizes women, non-Muslims, and freedom itself? Of what use is"democracy" when the dominant culture would bring about a political condition that might make the current Saudi regime appear"moderate" by comparison?

For a cartel to function, at least one of the entities has to be willing to give up a competitive market share. The Saudis have been willing to do this since the early 1970s. 'Nuff said!
Brian Radzinsky - 4/26/2005
The Saudi regime is no friend of the US in on-face terms. Rather it's more of a crony, a regime established and protected by the US to gain access to its plentiful deposits of black gold. The House of Saud is right to insist that without US protection its regime will fall to regimes more extremist then they. It's no democracy in any sense of the word. In fact it can be said to be the opposite, demanding nothing of its citzens in exchange for nothing but oppression.
The sad truth is that the US has no use for Saudi Arabia other than to use them as a spigot to keep up our state-sponsored economy of the gas pump. The moment oil ceases to be Saudi Arabia's dominant export is the moment when then Saudi government loses its lifeblood. It's at that moment that true civic stability can begin to emerge.

Rustic Rag Wreath
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Use up your old fabric scraps and create a Rustic Rag Wreath for your home. Country craft ideas can transform any space into a relaxing hideout. Use old rags and a cotton clothesline to construct your own handmade wreath. Wrap the "boa" around a square picture frame to create an square wreath that's unlike anything you've ever seen. Break out of the mold and try something different - you'll love the look of this amazing country craft.
- Assorted fabric scraps
- Scissors
- Measuring tape
- Picture frame
- Cotton clothesline
- Masking tape
- Craft wire
- Wire cutters
- Cut several 1/4 inch to 1 inch wide strips from a variety of fabric scraps. I used cutter quilt scraps and chenille bedspread scraps left over from previous projects. I cut enough strips to firmly fill a shoebox.
Note: The amount of strips needed and the length of the boa will be determined by the thickness of the fabrics used, the size of the frame and the circumference around one of the frame rails. A good rule of thumb is to cut more strips than you think you will need.
For Reference: The frame I used in this project had a 9-inch-wide by 12-inch-long inside opening and an 11-inch-wide by 14-inch-long outside edge. The circumference of the rails was 5 inches.
- Measure around the outside edges of the frame and multiply by two. Cut a length of cotton clothesline using this measurement. This should be plenty of clothesline for this project, but if it isn't, more clothesline can be tied to the end to extend it.
- Tie a knot 5 inches from one end of the clothesline. This will prevent your rag strips from sliding off.
- Make the boa. Mix the strips to separate and distribute the different fabrics. Starting at the knot, tie one strip at a time around the clothesline until the strips are approximately 24 inches from the other end.
- Wrap the beginning end of the rag boa around one rail of the frame. Tape the end on the back to hold in place. Continue to wind the boa around the rails until the end of the boa meets the beginning. If they don't meet, add more strips to the extra clothesline until the ends do meet. Tie the ends together in a knot on the back of the frame to secure. Cut off the excess clothesline.
- Rip a 3 inch wide by 24 inch long strip of cotton fabric that coordinates with your fabric scrap colors. I used tea-dyed muslin for my wreath. Tie the wreath into a large bow and trim the ends as desired.
- Cut a 12 inch length of craft wire using wire cutters. Thread the wire through the back of the bow's knot. Position the bow on the wreath where desired. Wrap the wire ends to the back of the wreath and twist them together to secure. Clip off the excess craft wire.
- Hang the wreath from the frame itself, or add a loop of fabric for a hanger.

Well behaved pets welcome, but please keep them off the beds and couches. We prefer our guests don't smoke in the house.
From start to finish dealing with Simon was first class, The house is incredible, warm, well stocked, very inviting, and the location is unbeatable, you cannot find anything better in Connemara. I know the area quite well and this house is by far the best!. I'll be booking this place for any future stay in Connemara.
If you've ever fantasized about being on a rocky ocean coast and completely away from it all - but, with all the modern amenities and a short drive to the city - this is a dream come true. The house itself was spotless, is architecturally beautiful and it has everything - dishwasher, fireplace, heated floors, wifi, laundry, satellite TV...the list goes on. Our only real neighbours were the ponies that came by the house every morning and let us feed them carrots.
The property is equally awesome. The house is just a few feet from an essentially private, huge beach. We went to bed every night with the sounds of crashing waves and a sky so full of stars you'd think you were in a planetarium - how can you beat that. It's only an hour and a half drive from Galway and about 20 minutes from Clifden which has a couple big grocery stores and lots of shops. Connemara might not be the most touristy part of Ireland but from our experience, it's definitely the most beautiful.
Also thanks to Simon and Nora for their detailed guide on the area with lots of suggestions of things to do and see (and, surprisingly, there is a lot).
If you're flipping through airbnb listings and thinking about this place, do it!
Adam and Eva
We had a fantastic, relaxing time in Folan's cottage and it was extremely difficult for us to leave this amazing house and beautiful location after the end of our vacation. The booking, communication and the check-in were great, Nora is a fantastic housekeeper and always reachable in case you have any questions.
It is nice to cosy up at the fireplace during a rainy day, swim, hike and explore the surrounding area. Nearby Roundstone is a nice place to buy fresh fish or to explore the restaurants and pubs. All rooms are nicely & stylish furnished and decorated and extremely clean and bright. Every day, rabbits, ponies and sheeps came by for a visit and we really hope to be back there soon!
Just back from a wonderful week. The cottage was everything we hoped for and more. The most amazing location I think for any cottage anywhere, 30 seconds from the sea and with spectacular views. We marvelled at the creative vision of the people who created this unique place from two old stone buildings and made it into an architectural masterpiece with beautiful design touches throughout. For peace and quiet, scenery, nature, walking, swimming it can't be beaten. The cottage is also warm, easy to cook in and the bathrooms and kitchen were first class. I can't recommend it enough. Simon was a helpful and pleasant host and was very easy to work with prior to our stay.
We just spend an amazing week at Folan's Cottage. The cottage really is fantastic, well furnished and beautifully situated next to the beach. Connemara in general is a great area! The contact with Simon was also very easy with lots of helpful tips what activities we could do during our stay. And the housekeeper was great, too. So we really can recommend a stay at this place!
The Cottage was lovely and set in stunning surrounds. We spent Christmas week here, cooked up lots of feasts, went on walks and had the open fire on most of the time. Simon and his housekeeper were both great. I recommend to stay here in any season.
Dublin, Ireland.

"This house is wonderful! We take a vacation every year with some friends from out of state. Between the two families there are 10 of us total. The pictures on the site do not do the house justice. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out, and also plenty of space for the gathering together. We put our boat in when we got there and didn't have need to take it out of the water until the day we left. The boat dock was definitely nice to have. The location is perfect, close to everything. We did some fishing, kayaking (we took our own), took in a movie, went shopping, but most of all just relaxed. The staff at the office was very friendly and super helpful. We had one problem when we got there that was taken care of very quickly (thanks Rayna!) We will definitely be back next year!!!"Guest: Loved it!!!

screen door shield
new storm door in back...main doors is all glass so wanted the same in the storm door. BUT with the screen in there's no place to shove open except at the handle. I would like a "shield" that's attractive. The usual at big box stores are plain and ugly. ideas please
My wooden screen insert has two crossbars about 1/3-1/2 the way up...I've also seen metal grilles you can buy from some places made of various metals.
Vintage advertising push sign that spans the glass?
Here is a link that might be useful: Holsum door push
I have seen beautiful metalwork screens that span the middle of the door - they are usually heavy bands of brass or bronze and are "woven" in a diamond or square pattern with small loops top and bottom, They are sturdy but open like screens - there is an antique shop in Louisiville, Joe Ley's, that has them in the damp, scary, filthy, cob-web infested basement - wear a filter mask if you go, theres crud everywhere...

Renovated Lee Circle Hotel's Restaurant and Lounge Open This Weekend
WAREHOUSE DISTRICT - If you're planning a stay at the Hotel Modern, be sure to pack your fancy pants. The newly renovated and rechristened hotel brings boutique luxury to the old Lee Circle YMCA. With the opening of the adjacent restaurant, Tamarind, and lounge Bellocq, Saturday, Dec. 16, the new digs also add to the already booming upscale dining scene of the Warehouse District.
The hotel, which remained open during renovations, boasts an aesthetic that combines Old World charm with New World style and that same juxtaposition also fits in the restaurant and lounge. NoDef got a sneak peek of the space this morning, as crews worked to put on the finishing touches.
Purchased earlier this year by a group of New York investors, the building's current transformation s being overseen by European hotelier Klaus Ortlieb, known for developing other swank spots like the Cooper Square Hotel in New York and the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. The 10-story spot originally went up in 1959 as a 186-room YMCA dormitory. The property was opened as Hotel Le Cirque in 2001, known by many for the lavish light displays along the streetcar line at Lee Circle. Like the YMCA before it, the frantic light show is history. According to Da Paper, Ortlieb called the display "too Las Vegas," opting instead to illuminate the grey building with a gentle orange glow.
At a reported renovation cost of about $50,000 per room, Ortlieb took out the heavy furniture and thick drapes and furnished the room in a lighter, more minimalist style, giving even the smaller rooms a more spacious and airy quality. Ortlieb also insisted that each room be decorated with pictures, books, and knick knacks collected from antique shops and thrift stores, which adds a familiarity akin to staying over at a friend's house. And because houseguests don't "check in," the Hotel Modern has replaced the front desk with a library nook where guests are greeted without the usual transactions associated with hotel stays.
While the hotel is sure to attract out-of-towners looking to avoid the chaos of the Quarter, the restaurant and bar hope to lure locals from both sides of Canal Street.
At Tamarind, the hotel's restaurant, the dining room is classic contemporary, outfitted with white table clothes and black hardwood chairs. The kitchen at Tamarind will be overseen by Chef Dominique Maquet, in collaboration with Chef Quan Tran. The two will combine their styles and influences to present a menu inspired by French and Vietnamese flavors and techniques. Maquet has generated a lot of buzz this year with the opening and closing of Dominique's on Magazine, an upscale spot that got rave reviews from Esquire magazine and the food-savvy Saveur right around the time they shut the doors. That restaurant has since reopened as Apolline, and Maquet has taken his talents to Tamarind as he works on nailing down a new Magazine Street location.
The Hotel Modern secured the services of another high-profile pair when they tapped Cure founders Neal Bodenheimer and Kirk Estopinal. The pair will hope to expand the success one of New Orleans' most notable cocktail bars and the anchor of the recent renewal on Freret Street. The focus at Bellocq will be on cocktails per se. Instead, the prime elixir will be c the cobbler, an icy concoction made with aperitifs like vermouth and madeira or digestifs like French absinthe. The result is an intimate speakeasy vibe, flush with bright red walls, plush chairs and sofas. Photographs by the bar's namesake, the 19th century photographer known for his portraits of Storyville working girls in various states of undress, dot the walls.
With the help of established locals like Maquet, Tran, Bodenheimer, and Estopinal, the new Hotel Modern has all of the luxuries associated with an international hotelier like Ortlieb. But the space still retains a character that's uniquely New Orleans, even if the bright lights are gone.
