Mark: In a sense, I agree; it is about "The People", but just who are "The People"? You are, but so am I. Barber is, but no more than any non- Bible-believing conservative Christian. And therein lies the problem. By all means, I call for each of us to vote as we think is best. In addition, we should work to influence the party for what we conceive to be its betterment. Barber however, has gone beyond that. Therefore, I say go, knowing full well that he will marginalize himself.
I clearly don't agree with Barber's vision for America; but if I accept his sincerity, I must acknowledge the current situation in the GOP. Folks who feel as strongly as Barber must leave the GOP and form a new party. There was a time when the GOP was a new party yet grew in strength quite rapidly. I have my doubts in this case; but on the whole, I think it will be good for the GOP and the country at large if those who desire a theocracy break off on their own.
Mud, that may be true, but I am using only what he has written here and in the past to evaluate his ideology and address the point of this column. Otherwise, it is through free will that someone may decide to drive their car in complete disregard for all rules of the road; and I for one am glad that government endeavors to restrict expression of that free will either through coercion or force
Mud: Actually, Barber is not specifically calling for elections, but I believe he thinks he speaks for the majority and will be able to rely on elections; thus the delusion I spoke of earlier. Rather, he calls for the replacement of personnel and total, mark that word, total repentance and widespread revival to ward off inevitable downfall. In short, a form of government in which official policy is governed by officials regarded as divinely guided, or is pursuant to the doctrine of a particular religion or religious group.
Mud: here's an example of where your lack of reasoning skills causes you to lose grip on reality. I am in favor of letting people vote and respecting their choices while tempering any tyranny of the majority with the courts. Barber and Anthony are saying all things must go their way no matter what people vote. Please refer to a dictionary if you don't know the meaning of the terms we are using.
Mud: Just the opposite since I never voted for Obama yet don't see him as "palpably evil". You see, I believe in compromise and I accept the possibility that my isn't the only right way. This has remained consistent in all my comments but as you rarely have any argument against me, such is your only resort. Your next line is a good example. If I am wrong, then there must be another way in which such changes can be wrought. Describe one. Otherwise, history bears me out. Every strike against freedom has come from people who proclaimed all things must be their way; and that is exactly what Barber has done.
Mud: Apparently Barber is. He calls for "replacing them (Executive Branch) with Bible-believing conservative Christians. Every single one" and "total national repentance and widespread Christian revival"
Anthony: No, it is Barber's opinion that we are doomed unless his rather specific list is met. Not just for a season, but forever. And as his list will never be met short of a hostile takeover of the government, people like you have to conjure up a horrific disaster to kid yourself that you're not fascists.
Max: in a way yes, but actually no. These people are sincere in their beliefs and more the pity. Their self-righteousness is unmovable and has blinded them into thinking they represent more than just a small minority. I say let them go and good riddance. They will marginalize themselves. The rest is irony because it is true. For Barber and his ilk to succeed will require the destruction of freedom because deep down inside, they actually represent all they decry.
Sir: By all means, you and those that think like you are bound by honor to abandon the GOP and never support it again unless it does exactly as you dictate. You should for your own party and field your own candidates. But first and foremost, you must get the word out and don't hold back. Comments like "America's first cultural Marxist, anti-American, palpably evil president" are far too mild considering you fine the President so intensely evil. Remember, the future of not just this nation, but the whole world is at stake so even the smallest compromise is out of the question. Of course, many people will not share your "vision" so something will have to be done about them. Forced re-education may work, but I suspect that only some type of disenfranchisement will work in the end. It has to be done. Otherwise, by your own assessment, we are all doomed.
In response to:
Mud: No, it was not a violation of constitutional rights and it is nowhere near as bad as what the Adams and Jefferson campaigns did to each other. And for a fact, none of it has stopped anyone from doing anything, which was the point in the first place. No, wrong again. In Fast and Furious, a few gun dealers were no more set up than johns are when the cops pose as prostitutes. Fast and Furious, another conservative rallying cry, was a flawed operation, but nothing new and certainly not a liberal plot to deprive citizens of religious or political freedom. Once again you have manufactured your victimization. As an added irony, Fast and Furious was motivated by the same sentiments that many conservative express through the desire to act now despite some risks, before a problem they believe in gets worse You mention demonstrable harm but that too is a generalization. Were any groups closed or people arrested? Was money or property confiscated? And no, you shouldn't wait until people are actually being "disappeared"; but you should not call the fire department just because you think a problem in your house may cause a fire. That you think it would come to such an extreme is an example of how far from reality your concerns really are. Finally, I believe in constant vigilance ever the government. The reason it doesn't sound like it to you is that you are deaf to all but "shouting" and live by the credo that if someone doesn't hate a thing, they must love it.

Beam or ballast, If you can't hold up to the wind you're not going to make to windward. Personally ,I go for the beam.but any extreme has its pros and cons.Most boats around here are all ready motoring as I go to yankee and staysail and drive her.The spray and leeway is just part of the ambiance. ..15 ft on 40 ft deck. but self steering and not trying to race.

larvae on brugmansia
tntransplant_IA(z6TN)September 23, 2005
maybe this will work-here are a couple of photos of the larvae on my brugmansia.
Image link:
i'im sure it's a butterfly larva (as opposed to a moth or other insect) but i can't find it in some 10 internet ID larvae sites nor is it in my 2 printed references. as of yesterday the larvae (2 of them) have disappeared since the rain so i'm not sure i'll ever know what they are/were. i was hoping they'd pupate on the plant (realizing they usually don't tho) so i could ID the butterfly at hatch. hopefully i'll locate the pupae and still learn.

We checked in very late (midnight) and the room was a mess (towels on the floor, bed undone). When we requested a different room, the staff wasn't very helpful. Still we got a different room on the 9th floor which also was upside down. The lobby looks great and is very clean but the same cannot be said of the hallways.

Decent hotel, but lousy shuttle service!Posted Mar 23, 2015
Pros: Nice bar, Decent food
Cons: Shuttle service, and room painting / renos.
It started off very bad as we had to wait 45 minutes for the shuttle bus to arrive. We tried to use courtesy phone in airport to call, but they kept hanging up because they knew that people were getting upset at waiting for the shuttle. The hotel claims to be at the airport, but its about a 10 minutes ride with all the crazy loops in the area. Once there, it was a decent place. Rooms were decent, but a bit dated in some areas (bathroom) and the quality of the renos isnt very good. The painters were either beginners or drunk. Not very professional in some areas. Overall 7 out of 10

I just didn't get what I asked for and when I asked why I was told one thing when it wasn't the truth they took their time about trying to help me but they did allow me to check out without charging me extra and they allowed me to take my time getting my things out of the room but the food there is very good

Nice, except for hotel barPosted Mar 20, 2015
Pros: location
Cons: Please prep bar staff on proper etiquette. That said, the staff at the front desk were excellent: friendly, efficient, and informative.
This hotel was just fine--close to the airport and a decent place. We had only one major complaint: two rude bartenders who ignored us when we wandered into the bar after arriving late at the hotel following a long flight--then officiously informed us that we'd missed last call (which we hadn't).

Breakfast was okay and shuttle only goes to the airport. Reasonable prices at the restaurant and 24 hour store inside hotel.

Overall very good for the pricePosted Mar 15, 2015
Pros: Location, happy hour, cost
Cons: Make the parking free for guests, fix the gym t.v.s
Location: Lots of good Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian restaurants.
I booked through Expedia and got a good deal. The hotel could probably use a little updating, but it was clean and in a convenient location. The bar/restaurant is convenient and has good wings and $3.00 beers during happy hour (3:00 p. - 6:00 p. every day). The gym is decent, but the t.v.s didn't work. Parking is not free, but probably should be for guests. It was around $15/night. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Run Down But WorksPosted Mar 15, 2015
Pros: Price, Restaurant & Bar, Beautiful Lobby
Cons: Repairs and updates.
Location: Good location and shuttle to airport.
Outdated, broken drain plug, scratches and dents galore BUT the staff was pleasant, restaurant and bar was good. Beds comfy, working TV and shower. We have tried several Newark Airport hotels and this one is about the best so far.

Good...eventuallyPosted Mar 11, 2015
Pros: Restaurant and the close proximity to the airport.
Location: There are places to eat nearby and has a shuttle to the airport
The hotel is convenient to the airport and has a good restaurant. Our first room didn't have working heat and that led to a very cld night. Once we made the problem known to the front desk they switched us and the next room was good.

You forgot to mention somethingPosted Mar 10, 2015
Pros: It was ok to stay in. Had I been warned of the parking fee.
Cons: Warn customers of the parking fee.
They forgot to mention that you have to pay 16 dollars for parking. And there is no way out of it. Just beware.

Can you give me feedback on kitchen choices?
I talked to our contractor and he likes the plan (really likes that Summerfield made it so easy to read!) and now I'm trying to finalize finishes for the kitchen.
So, here's the plan and some of the finishes I'm thinking of using. Big change is the idea of a baby grand piano in the sunroom. (LOL) Long story, but after thinking I might get a great deal on one...even if that doesn't materialize, it would be wonderful to have the space for a piano. So, I designed it for one...and maybe one will show up :)
With the soft turquoise walls in the sunroom, I decided to go with a shiny black finish on the woodstove (and possible black piano) so I'm thinking of adding black to the kitchen. Maybe a honed (not shiny) black granite on the perimeter, with marble on the work table. I was planning to have an island, but for various reasons, I think the work table will be a better choice.
Anyway, here's some pictures and I hope you'll let me know if you think it works. The brick (vinyl) floors pick up the living room fireplace and I'm planning to use wrought iron for the two stools at the work table and maybe some other accents. Also want to include antique brass and copper accents, with lighting, hardware, etc. Thanks in advance :)
Picture from a magazine with the black countertops...love the sunflowers!
Work table (original idea) and the second one should be easy to modify a work table, making it a little taller with the base and add a marble top. I think the oak (?) looks more rustic, too.
Floor and backsplash idea...like the birds, still thinking about the bunnies (LOL)
Copper accents...need to find some cool copper pans, at some point.
Still want to have french accents, like sunflowers, lavender, lots of herbs and some french style chairs...plus these cannisters!
lavender, everything looks great--I love the pics with the dark counter. And those tables! I have to say that I still love our converted marble table, and I'm just about through the stage where I worry about etching--I've rolled out pie crusts and biscuits on it, with no staining. We've covered it with cooky sheets waiting their turn in the oven, and the end nearer the sink is our drinks-station for large gatherings. It's one of the best and most useful features of the kitchen, and I still run my hand across it as I walk by!
Lavender - your plans are lovely. I particularly like the 1st marble table. The layout of your rooms is great & I'm a big fan of french country. The dark counters are beautiful, but my heart still loves the palatte of lighter & soft colors. However, you should go with what your heart says. Either way, I think you're going to love your choices. Am so excited for you!
Shades- Thank you...I'm so glad you like it! A big table like that would be great in your studio :)
Mama goose- It is wonderful to know that you still love you marble top and that it's worked out so well for you. I'm trying to decide if I want to get it honed or not...did you have a lot of etching?
Krayers- I thought about lighter countertops, but with the wrought iron stools I have planned (and a few other accents) I think these countertops might work very well. The funny thing is...I was so concerned about using black, and then realized...I have it all over my garden with arches, arbors, etc. (LOL)
I like the B&W idea. If you need some curtains any place, the black/white toile pattern would look neat too.
My idea for the table is, I like the oak table, the one with the horizontal flat brace beneath it. That one would be very easy to add an additional shelf below the table in the future. I know your house will have a big pantry area for storing huge objects, but having lovely baskets beneath the table is always a nice feature. I think Mama Goose's table has storage beneath and it looks great. Never refuse to take advantage of storage space when it presents itself. That's my motto.
And I like the wrought iron look myself. And cast iron pots, I have several by Lodge, including a cast iron wok by them, which is patiently waiting for me to get a gas stove so I can stir fry. :)
Lav, I hope you keep a nice big print of your floor plan by Summerfield, and frame it for your sunroom. Perhaps Summerfield will autograph it for you. It is a true work of art. I love it. Print it out as such a scale that you can always cut out little paper furniture and play with new arrangements when you get the urge to move furniture.
One thing I've discovered about my before/after pictures of the house and garden, it jogs my memory when I forget exactly when we did some work on the house. So such an archive will be useful to you as well, you have so much about to change.
The cottage-look is great, but unless you have actually lived with--and truly do not mind it--I would advise against the two-handle faucet. The awkward juggling... always needing a third hand... your forearm crossing the too-hot or too-cold stream to make adjustments... meh.
The single-control faucet is one of the great inventions of the 20th Century, don't deny yourself. The same general style/look and high-neck spout is available in single-handle, sometimes with the control off to the side of the spout. Be careful how "rustic" you get. ;')
ML- Great idea about Summerfield's plan. I'll do that :)
I've thought about adding a shelf to the bottom of the work table. It would be a great place to store my grandmother's big mixing bowl...which she used for making all her bread. Do you think the shelf would get in the way of the stools?
Fixizin- Thanks for the warning, but I have the two faucet now and I really like it. Yes, it can be a little more work, but when the nieces and nephews visit, it's much easier for them to have separate controls...and much safer. My mom has the single lever (and loves it) but I like the two faucet.
I have not been following your house plans very closely, Lavender Lass, just skimming. I do really like the plans you posted here in this thread. It looks cozy and spacious and a comfortable house to live in. I like your kitchen choices very much, especially if you hone the granite. Momma Goose's counters with honed marble have me sold on honed. The french accents are very nice, I love the yellows and blues of that look. The chickadees are a favorite of mine, I have chickadee earrings and some black metal chickadee wall decorations. One is cute - a chickadee perched on a musical staff, holding a note in his beak that he is going to put in place on the staff. So I do like the chickadees on the backsplash. I worry that the bunnies will get old, though. Are they all across the backsplash or in one smaller area? In one area, I could see them as working, but popping up to peer at you all along a long counter feels too busy to me.
When I saw the baby grand in the sunroom, the first thing I thought was, "looks good, but I hope they don't plan to play it." I went to Google to research and confirmed my hunch. Here is info on piano care from pianos1st.com.au:
"Care Tips
It is important to look after your piano and maintain it regularly. Although it may appear sturdy because of its solid construction, the piano has thousands of moving parts and is therefore quite a sensitive instrument.
Where should I place the piano?
* Choose a room with relatively constant temperature and humidity (ie. not too close to the kitchen, laundry, hallway, sunroom). The most suitable place is against an inside wall, away from drafty windows, heaters, air conditioning, doors and exposure to direct sunlight. If you live in a recently built house with insulation in the walls and you decide to place your piano on an outside wall, please leave at least a 10cm gap between the piano and the wall for air to circulate.
* In addition to affecting humidity, direct sunlight will also cause the piano finish to age and fade.
* Choose a room with few distractions for practicing students, or perhaps make rules about television and computer use during practice times.
* Acoustically, make sure that shelves and furniture do not block the sound. The placement of a piano will affect its tone, ie. carpet and soft furnishings will soften the tone and hard surfaces will brighten the tone.
* Think about ease of access for piano tuners.
* Try to keep the top of the piano free of framed photos and other items that may vibrate and rattle when it is played. Water leakage or spillage from plants can also be hazardous. Any liquid spill will damage the finish and possibly the inside. Cups and glasses will also leave marks on most finishes.
* Consider the use of caster cups to protect your floor from caster wheel marks."
Two things here.
One, okay with the birds, agree that the bunnies if all around might be a bit busy. In one spot, like where you trim your carrots and cabbage, would be appropriate. :)
And your stools at the table might be a bit of a problem with a shelf down low. I forgot that was serving as your bar area.
It can be added at a later time though, if after long usage you discover there is room for it as a narrow shelf out of the way of little boots kicking things under there. Don't want to break that precious bowl. I wish I had the carved wooden treenware bowl that my grandma used to make biscuits because it was never washed and always sitting behind the rollfront of the Hoosier cabinet. And her churn too....I made many a pound of butter churning away with that when I was a wee kid. :) The thing is, I can also remember the smells in her kitchen, of the flour in that wooden bowl, of the milk in the churn, of her hot cornbread coming out of the oven of the woodstove, and I can still hear the slap of the old screen door to the back porch where the bucket was to go get some more wellwater.
Living in a farm house is a wonderful thing. What great memories it stirs up in my mind and heart. Build as much of that into your farmhouse as you can, Lav, it will be gravy on your mashed potatos!!!!
You are all so great to stick with me on this project. The backsplash is the chickadees, not the bunnies...although one small one might make an appearance. I like ML's idea about putting it where I trim the carrots and cabbage! LOL
The piano was inspired by the idea that a friend might have to find a home for hers...which didn't happen, so I'm starting to have second thoughts about that. It looks wonderrful in the plan, but as Nancy points out...may not work well in real life, especially in the sunroom.
Also found out the idea of taking the wall down between the kitchen/dining room and making it one big space may not work, either. Some concern that changing the dining room into the kitchen will alter memories too much...and I can understand that. While it is our house, when you're dealing with family homes, I believe some consideration of everyone's input is important. In the end, we'll build what we want and what suits our lifestyles, but this is a relevant point. As I've mentioned earlier, a bit of local history in that dining room...so not unrealistic that maybe I should leave that as the dining room and put the kitchen behind it (as it is now).
So, this has trashed my overall plan a bit, but growth is all about taking the best of what you have and letting go of what isn't/doesn't work, right? So, I've been trying to make lemonade out of lemons (love that phrase) and gone back to an earlier layout.
I changed the kitchen just a bit, to reflect my growing admiration for Laura Calder's kitchen (French Cooking at Home). I adore her prep area...seriously, it's my favorite kitchen and I really need more space. Somehow, I didn't make that a big priority before, but after watching a bit of a marathon over the weekend, I really want to have a huge prep space. As ML keeps reminding me, there needs to be plenty of space to do the projects and recipes that one needs to do on a farm :)
While I love the big sunroom, I really have always wanted the wood stove in the kitchen (very farm like) so I thought this would be the time to make that change. It leaves me a much smaller sunroom, but stil big enough for a few wicker chairs and an ottoman, space for a star jasmine or two, maybe a small orange tree...and doors to keep the kitties out, so they don't chew on my plants! LOL
Also, I really want two bathrooms downstairs. Being on a farm, when there's a plumbing problem, you really need a back up. Since we may not finish the upstairs right away, I put the master bath back into the the plan. I think this made my husband very happy, so I should have done this before.
So, here's the plan, with a window seat in the dining room, with shelves on both sides...for dishes, books, etc. Also has more bookshelves in the living room and a nice long one in the kitchen, against the stair wall. The fridge and double ovens are on one wall (very Laura Calder) witht the microwave on the shelf, in between. The sink is under five feet of windows (with the farm sink on the other side, in the laundry room) and there are upper cabinets above the rest of that counterspace. The cooktop is in the island, with a vent and maybe pot rack above (need a few copper pots) and all that lovely prep space.
I want to have the prep space be wood, with the other countertops (including on both sides of the cooktop) be the honed granite. The storage area under the prep area (sink side) will be 18" deep, with plenty of room for stools on the other side. I wanted something a big shallower, than the standard 24" deep base cabinets, so it's easier to reach smaller items, like mixing bowls, cake pans, the hand mixer, etc. The wood stove is in the corner with a small table and chairs in the other corner.
So, there you have it, my "Plan B" with a few modifications. Don't know if I've posted this before, but I think it will work well and keep the dining room intact. Also, let me get a much better kitchen (IMHO) than the one in the other plan. All the same finishes in the kitchen, including the vinyl 'brick' floors, which will also be in the sunroom, laundry and mud room.
Thanks for all your help and please let me know what you really think. I don't want to bother Summerfield, again, until I know this plan will work :)
Sorry, I hit the wrong button and deleted my picutre! Here it is and again, thanks for sticking with my through all this :)
Oh, and although the sunroom is smaller, I have 'tea space' in the dining room, the sink close to the sunroom for plants...and hopes for a small greenhouse, which may come about before the farmhouse remodel! Then, I could have my 'garden plants' outside in the greenhouse and a few 'tropical plants' in the sunroom, off the tea room/dining room...and no kitties eating my plants! LOL

A face lift (rhytidectomy) is a surgical procedure designed to make the face appear more youthful by lifting up the facial skin and tissues and/or the underlying muscle, to make the face tauter and smoother. With age or excessive sun exposure, wrinkled creased skin can develop on the face, neck or forehead along with fat deposits and folds around the jaws and jowls. Face lift surgery cannot stop the aging process, but can improve the appearance, making patients look younger. The aim of a face lift is to provide you with a natural, more youthful appearance and should not produce a tight "windblown" looking face. The results of a facelift procedure will be good if you have good skin tone, your skin has not lost its elasticity and moves and stretches easily. The majority of patients that undergo face lift surgery do so in their early 50's and over, though patients in their 70's and 80's have had successful surgeries. A face lift procedure will normally not be necessary for people under 40 years of age, though occasionally patients with premature facial aging or who have had significant weight loss may undergo an earlier surgical face lift.

Jamie Lidell Announces New Self-Titled Album, Shares New Track "What a Shame"
By Carrie Battan on November 15, 2012 at 4:27 p.m. EST
Soul experimentalist Jamie Lidell will follow up 2010's Compass with a new self-titled full-length, scheduled for release on February 19 (February 18 in the UK) through Warp. (That's the cover art, above.) Above, have a listen to a new track called "What a Shame", and watch a trailer for the album after the tracklist.
Listen: Beck Remixes Jamie Lidell
By Larry Fitzmaurice on May 10, 2011 at 1:00 p.m. EDT
"Completely Exposed" is a disjointed piece of funk pop from R&B abstractionist Jamie Lidell's most recent solo album, last year's Compass. Now, that album's co-producer, Beck, has reworked the song into something more booming and spacious; the remix is for the taking below (e-mail address required).

Jamie Lidell: "Compass" (tUnE-yArDs Remix):
Jamie Lidell: Compass (tUnE-yArDs Remix)
Jamie Lidell and tUnE-yArDs are both art-poppers with R&B influences, but each pushes those influences in very, very different directions. So it's interesting to hear what tUnE-yArDs does with the title track to Lidell's album Compass. It pretty much sounds like an exact combination of both artists' styles.
Jamie Lidell Reveals Tour Dates, Video
By Ryan Dombal on June 7, 2010 at 12:40 p.m. EDT
Photo by Kathryn Yu
Ecstatic and nerdy soul man Jamie Lidell is a tremendously endearing live performer, and he's taking his show on the road this summer in the U.S., Canada, and Europe in support of his new LP, Compass. All dates are below.
And he's got a new video for the mutant funk track "I Wanna Be Your Telephone". Directed by Lindsey Rome, the clip finds the singer goofily perving out while filming a 50s-style pin-up. Plus, Lidell and his three-man band took to the streets and parks of Paris for a recent "Take Away Show". Watch both videos after the jump:
Jamie Lidell Talks Beck and Feist-Assisted New Album Compass
By Ryan Dombal on May 11, 2010 at 9:25 a.m. EDT
Front page photo by Lindsay Rome
On the title track from his new album Compass (listen here), soul singer Jamie Lidell sounds worn. His voice is noticeably scratchier than on anything from his two previous solo albums, 2005's future-funk expo Multiply or 2008's polished throwback Jim. The rough and raw vibe runs straight through Compass, which is out May 18 via Warp. It's still a R&B record at heart, but it has Lidell stretching himself like never before, going from desert balladry to oddball Tom Waits-ian mouth-box funk to baby-making slow jams. "This is my most full-frontal work lyrically and sonically," he told me, sitting in the Standard Hotel in Manhattan's Meatpacking District. "It's all in there."
Lidell also worked with several luminaries on the album, including Beck, Feist, Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, and legendary studio drummer James Gadson, whose work with Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, and other soul legends has made him one of R&B's unsung heroes. Lidell talked of all his collaborators in awed tones, and he's got a lot to thank them for. But Lidell himself is an in-demand, in-studio phenom; he helped out with Feist's The Reminder, credited as "energy arranger." The title makes a lot more sense once you see his spontaneous, fearless presence pop out in the recording session videos for Beck's recent Skip Spence Record Club project. Meeting Lidell, it's easy to see why so many are attracted to his creative energy; he's warm, funny, candid.
In our chat, we discussed the making of Compass, Beck's "real super power", and the inescapability of Michael Jackson:
Video Premiere: Jamie Lidell: "The Ring"
By Tom Breihan on March 25, 2010 at 3:00 p.m. EDT
The retro-soul howler and IDM beat-freak Jamie Lidell now has a video for "The Ring", a junkyard-blues jam from his guest-heavy Compass album, du May 18 on Warp. The clip pretty much consists entirely of lo-res vintage camera footage of Lidell freaking out at the beach. He runs around! He digs in sand! He makes ridiculous faces!

Beck, Feist Guest on Jamie Lidell LP
By Ryan Dombal on February 8, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. EST
If you've ever seen electro-soul whiz Jamie Lidell live, you know the guy can deliver ample amounts of ecstatic joy. It just feels good to be in the same room as him. So it makes a lot of sense that talented people including Beck, Feist, Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, Daniel Rossen, and Chris Bear, Wilco's Pat Sansone, legendary R&B drummer James Gadson, soul belter Nikka Costa, Beck keyboardist Brian LeBarton, and producer/songwriter Gonzales would want to help out on Lidell's new album. That album is titled Compass and due out May 18 courtesy of Warp.
Premiere: New Jamie Lidell Song: "Compass"
By Ryan Dombal on February 5, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. EST
Gleefully bizarre soul crooner Jamie Lidell is just about ready to unleash his follow-up to 2008's Jim. To celebrate, we're premiering the shape-shifting mini epic "Compass", a brand new track that sounds like nothing Lidell has done before.
Stream it above and check back here on Monday for more news on the genre-bender's forthcoming album, which features some very special guest stars. Consider yourselves teased.
Watch Jamie Lidell and Feist Sing Skip Spence for Beck's Record Club

After Feist sang lead on last week's episode of Beck's ongoing Record Club mission to cover Skip Spence's 1969 LP Oar, it's soul crooner Jamie Lidell's turn to take the spotlight on the hazy "War in Peace". The pretty faithful version also features Feist on backup vocals, and Wilco guitarist Nels Cline basically steals the whole thing with a couple of remarkable solos. Watch the in-studio video below:
Beck, Wilco, Feist, Jamie Lidell Team Up to Cover Skip Spence's Album Oar
By Amy Phillips on November 12, 2009 at 9:20 p.m. EST
Beck's Record Club: Can it get any more awesome? Yes it can. And it just did.
As you know, Record Club works like this: Beck rounds up a revolving cast of guests to cover an entire album's worth of songs in a day. The results are then posted in weekly installments on Beck's website.
The latest entry in the series? Beck, Wilco, Feist, and Jamie Lidell teaming up to cover the 1969 cult fave Oar by onetime Moby Grape/Jefferson Airplane member turned acid casualty Skip Spence. The album's leadoff track, "Little Hands", is up on Beck's site right now.

Walk around the Port
Lazy stroll today around to the old Roman port of Formia.
Again, testament to the building skills of the Romans, the port still remains today and would have been a lovely spot to head out for your fishing trips. It is now in a protected zone but as with most of Italy's ancient remains, is fully accessible to all.
The port is on a walk that loops around the headland and also goes up to an old water storage tank, again in a good state of preservation with views out to sea.

Tax question
We itemize our tax return. Normally it is simple - interest on mortgage, savings interest, etc. However, this year my husband had major dental surgery ( think $50,000)and I had eye surgery so we are going to itemize medical expenses. Hypothetically, if our joint income was $100,000 what kind of tax break/refund would we get - ball park figure, not including any other itemized items.
I'm not a professional, (just someone who enjoys figuring things out!) This was fun...sort of like trying to figure out a puzzle! And I'm sure someone out there probably has a much clearer answer..and please correct me if I'm going about my "computations" completely wrong!
But the nearest I can figure.........(and keep in mind, I dont think you've given near enough information to even ballpark guess the answer)....but to give you a start...medical expenses are deductible after you meet that 7.50 % threshold. So, using the $100,000.00 income figure and just the $50,000.00 expense figure (that's some EXPENSIVE dental surgery!!) there would be no deduction for the first $7500.00 worth of expenses, but the balance of $42,500.00 would be deductible. So, it seems like that would take your taxable income down from the $100,000 to $57,500.00. Not including any other deductions or exemptions. Tax liability on $57,500.00 is $7819.00. Aside from that, it would be easier to guesstimate your tax LIABILITY as opposed to a refund, since you didn't say how much you paid in taxes throughout the year, nor your filing status, which I'm assuming to be married/joint. (As for taxes paid in.....I'm guesstimating maybe $17,000.00 based on $100,000.00 income using the tax computation worksheet. Of course, that doesn't take into account the number of exemptions you might have claimed on your w-4)
thanks jiggreen
What you have said is what i kind of thought would be the scenario. Yes, my husbands dental work was expensive - but he now has a wonderful smile and no dental problems anymore - it was worth every penny! The refund will come in handy as we have been laid off from work. Now I have been motivated to get our taxes done within the next couple of weeks. My guess is that this will prompt an audit from the IRS, which is fine - we have never had anything to hide - but still it makes me nervous!

our second sneak peek features a 1930's residence at the historic grasmoor in cincinnati, ohio. the goal of rebekah sigfrids and her design team of aubrie hensler, mike dereix, mom – donna sigfrids (as favorite antiquing partner) – was "to create an earthy femininity by balancing soft modern furnishings with time worn primitive finds." you can click here for more images of rebekah's condo, and as always, all the sneak peeks can be found here for inspiration (and if you still need help, call on rebekah sigfrid's studio). [thanks to rebekah for showing off her latest project! ] -anne
[above: I love the contrast of the classically modern black marble Saarinen table against the raw wood chairs. The chairs pull out the color of the very old and clearly adored buffet. I love the feminine modernity of the silk screened canvas by Jenny Sauethat is paired with a photograph by Lightleaks.]
I am not ashamed of my love of watching a little television (mostly Barefoot Contessa) after a long day. We composed the television with a clouds canvas, a photograph by Lightleaks (purchased on Etsy) and rustic antique finds on top of IKEA media storage units.
The last time my sister was in town we spent an entire day on this B&B Italia sofa: reading, napping, chatting, watching Darjeeling Limited and drinking coffee that later shifted to cocktails. The photo above the sofa is by Madelaine (purchased on Etsy).
We wanted the bedroom to have a barefooted sense of elegance. The long primitive church pew is where I sit to put my shoes on… and, I'll be honest—it is also a great collector of all the clothes I considered wearing but then decided against.
Light filters beautifully through the big old trees outside the windows of this room, so the space required little more than a beautiful modern bed (Elemento) with a billowed duvet (anthropologie) and an old trunk that holds lots of books.
I was originally attracted to this 1930's residence at the historic Grasmoor in Cincinnati, Ohio because of the elegance of its formal layout and its' petite but gracious size. We sanded down the original parquet floors to reveal their natural color and protected them with a custom white tinted sealer. Throughout the residence this washed effect on the floors is paired with foggy shades of white.
The bath combines modern plumbing with herringboned white carrara marble and gold accessories. The bird painting in the foreground was created by my Mom; the bird sketches in the pair of gold frames are by the very talented Mike Dereix.
I am without words- this is so beautiful…
Love–love!–the marble tile.
I am seriously in love with the marble bathroom wall. I like the use of warm gold frames against the coolness of the marble too.
This is lovely; not contrived and so very well balanced.
It looks awesome!!
What an amazing house. You have my dream sofa! I've been wanting the B&B Charles sofa for some time.
i am totally in awe! the images are as beautiful and charming as your place actually is!
I LOVE the light over the table. Where is it from? Thanks!!
I am curious. What is the picture/print on the cabinet in the sixth picture down (2nd to last)? I'm an artist and the basic visual of it inspired me and I'd love to know what it was called and possibly get a closer look at it.
This is just lovely. The simplicity and earth tones are so soothing. I want to vacation here.
oops! Sorry…I just noticed that it was in the first picture as well and that you did mention what it was. My apologies!
wow. wow. wow.
i love it. the modern furniture integrates so gracefully and naturally. it's spare, clean, and minimalistic – not overcrowded, and full of texture. i adore the pairing of the wall mounted tolomeo lamp and trunk. siiigh.
This is probably the most beautiful home I've seen so far. I love the contrast of old and new, and how it blends so well. I'm going to save this one and hope to make my house this beautiful one day.
I think this is my favourite sneak peak of all time…. wow.
the herringbone tile is my favorite.
This took my breath away, so understated and classy, it's gORegous.
There's a comfort there-like everything has a story to tell. I love that your mom offered some touches, and that you welcomed it!
I live in Cincinnati. Great to see this. I'd love to tour grasmoor.
I really like the Ikea storage unit. Which one is it? Is it still available?
Lovely, lovely, lovely! It' s not this style vs. that style, but a beautiful and sentitive personal vision. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Everyone has said it so well — I just wanted to add my voice to the others, and thank you for this set of beautiful images which really made my day. Absolutely gorgeous. Loved this home.
What a lovely home. Where is the bedroom rug from? I've been looking for a stripe like that for some time.
pleeeaaaase respond about the dining room light! i am drooling!
Such an inspirational feature # thanks
Would love to know that paint color in the dining area.
where is the light fixture over the dining table from? beautiful, elegant home.
The dining room pendant looks like a Foscarini Caboche.
Oh, wow!!! Not only am I pleased as punch that Cincinnati is getting some much-deserved D*S love, but it's great to see the work of a local studio that's new to me! Kudos, everyone! I love the seemingly effortless eclecticism of the space, and that you really used widely varied sources for the furnishings and accessories. The parquet floor is a lovely surprise, too! I'm blown away by how beautiful and inspiring these photos are! Thanks for sharing!
my favorite sneak peek yet. this home is just beautiful. thanks for posting.
the bedroom is perfection! jealous of your light&space!
beautiful house! i would love to know where you get all of your rugs. they are all so beautiful and simple.
I also live in Cincinnati, but I have no idea what Grasmoor is… Guess I'll have to look it up!
I'm loving the 2nd photo.
Beautiful Space. It has a great light and airy feel! I also love Barefoot Contessa. She's such a snob; and someone to aspire to…lol
What a fresh & crisp space! I love the cool colors & contrast of strict lines and softer touches!
Absolutely gorgeous and soothing. I can't believe this is the same condo I saw only months ago shortly before you moved in. It is definetely REBEKAH!
Would love to know where that lighting fixture over the dining table is from. I have been searching for over a year for the perfect one for my home…I think that one is it!!!
GREAT peak! Very inspirational.
I would love to see a live link for Madelaine's shop. Her photographs are amazing and she is amazing too.
Here is a link to her shop.
I love all of the great photography in your home!
Becka, it is beautiful – you have inherited to joy and love for the "old" but pair it so beautifully with the new! It is so simple & clean – a great job!
Bee-u-ti-ful! I have a commode with similar black marble top and a wooden chair identical to the one near the tv. I love combining old and new and especially appreciated seeing the artwork collected from etsy! I've started my own collection and find wonderful things there.
thank you so much for the lovely comments… here is some info on a few of the pieces/finishes:
The dining room paint color is Benjamin Moore, Brushed Aluminum, 1485
The bedroom rug is from Ralph Lauren Home (it is a few years old however– unfortunately I'm not sure if it is available anymore.)
The dining room pendant is from Foscarini– called the "Caboche". it was purchased at Voltage http://www.voltagefurniture.com
The IKEA storage units are still available– they are from the BONDE collection.
The photography is from Madelaine and Lightleaks (etsy). Their links are:
The Grasmoor is located in Hyde Park in Cincinnati. (beautiful old building with amazing landscaping)
thanks again!
Love the buffet piece in the dining room! Great sneak peek!
What a talent to combine the old with the new. I've always loved antiques. This is using them in a way I would never have thought of, but definitely appreciate. Your home is beautiful!
i would love to wake up in that bed on a crisp winter morning, next to christopher gorham preferably!
fabulous and chic. tres chic.
I love the cloud canvas next to the flatscreen t.v. I didn't see it on either photo website, is it available elsewhere? Thanks!
beautiful! the church pew is perfect!
so beautiful.
Digging the Carrara herringbone in the bathroom. Nice!
That Ikea Storage Unit is amazing. Is it still available? Lovely home, it really is beautiful. :)
This home is so elegant!
Like Susan above, I would also love to know where the cloud canvas is from. Thanks for sharing your condo!
Oh wow! It's so great to see my art displayed in such a beautiful home. Your such a talented designer. This is really wonderful. I'm so honoued. Thank you very much, Rebekah and Design*Sponge.
Truly gorgeous and so so chic. I love to see modern furniture mixed with a rustic vibe.
SO beautiful. Rarely do I find a home I love ALL elements and aspects of. But yours I do. How much? J/k :)
love the billowed duvet ;)
Hello… in response to the questions about the canvas (by the tv)… it is a digitally printed canvas from modern-digital canvas:
thanks! :-)
Love it! so simple and homey, plus, hello, Barefoot Contessa rocks! My little guilty pleasure, now I like your living room even more…
I love my daughter and I love her designs! She is talented as she is beautiful!
Everything blend so well. Its like i can smell the rawness of the wood, and so comfy & simple. And i love the Color too so natural. Plus the church pew is brillant. Adds a diff touch. Beautiful~
What a lovely place to call home! Rebekah, you have amazing talent and make it look effortless. The herringbone carrara is to die for! The church pew in the bedroom is brilliant in so many ways :)
I am SO pining over the light fixture hanging over the dinette table and the herringbone tile pattern! This home mixes old and new beautifully — it looks like a comfortable retreat of a home.
This is sooo beautiful.
This is full of inspiration everywhere, I love it! Thanks for sharing with us!
PS where did you find the dining room chairs? I love them!
We just randomly ran into this during trend sensing and are as inspired by your home as we are by all of your sketching that you have done for us! and Brian is really excited that you love barefoot contessa too, yes she is a snob.
Where/what kind of mattress is this?
Where is the church pew from?
beautiful home! What paint color did you use in the bedroom?
Gorgeous and inspirational!
What color is the hallway painted (in the Flickr set – it looks like dark charcoal)?
love the cowhide chair and the trunk nightstand. beautifully decorated home. so creative and inspiring.
The shade of white in the bedroom and living room is Sherwin Williams "Pure White" (our very favorite shade of white)
The foyer/hallway is Sherwin Williams "Rock Bottom"
The church pew was found at Miller's Antiques in Lebanon, OH. The dining chairs were found in Waynesville, OH. (Lebanon and Waynesville, Ohio are great antiquing towns)
Where did you find the rug in the bedroom? I love it. So soft yet geometric.
everything turned out absolutely beautifully! i can't wait to see it!
This is my favorite sneak peek of all time, too. I was lucky enough to inherit some fantastic antiques, but I find it challenging to bring them into the present. I've linked to AT's post on my bedroom, which is the only room where I feel like I got the mix right so far. Your home should inspire me to keep it up!
I find this incredibly inspiring. Warm, cozy, simple but not sterile, pretty neutrals, Swedish-esque….I could go on. I'm going to include a link to this house tour on my blog. It's amazing!
Hurray! I was just gathering my daily inspiration at work today and stumbled across your HOUSE!!! who would have guessed! Thanks for the rendering class!
Funny, we have the same couch and the same bed in our flat. It´s nice to see how you decorate it, in particular the bed.
I love the pillows on the bed. Where did you get them?
Nevermind my previous question – I see the bed pillows/bolsters are from DWR.
…beautiful balance. So personal and timeless. Can I move in?……..
This is absolutely stunning and inspiring. I am just waiting to have my Cabouche installed. Thank you for the many inspirations.
Where is the cow hide lounge chair? Thanks so much.
mm i love neutral places like this, it is so lovely and calming! i could never pull it off!
Gosh – this is stunning. Love those herringbone marble tiles.
Where did you get the Carrara Herringbone from? So very pretty.
love it.
I love that canvas print beside the t.v. looks like an md-canvas print, they have some pretty nice designs. I came across another site that also has some really nice modern art prints. http://www.pixel-prints.com

We will be reading "Out of My Mind" by Sharon Draper
About the Book:
Amazon.com Review
Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school—but no one knows it. Most people--her teachers and doctors included--don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again and again. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows . . . but she can't, because Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write.
Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind--that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice . . . but not everyone around her is ready to hear it.
The Wonder of "Wonder"
Hello Book Club!
Thank you for some very creative discussions today! Now that we have officially finished the book, I enjoyed hearing all of your points of view about the ending, how you felt about the different characters, who you connected with, who you didn't, and who you recognized in your own lives. It was wonderful to see that so many of you not only identified with Auggie, but felt the urge to stand by him. I too was very impressed by his characters strength. I look forward to the continuation of our "project" after the break, and sharing our passion with the school!
Have a "Wonder"ful Thanksgiving & Happy Hannukkah!

Thank you for your patience!!
The Deadline to sign up for Book Club has been extended!!!
I have officially returned to school and am ready to get our club meetings started! Unfortunately we don't have enough students yet to run the club!! I understand that many of you who are interested were unable to attend due to other club conflicts so we have adjusted the start time to allow for those of you with Music conflicts to attend at 4:00.
The rest of you who can still make it at 3:30, please come then and we will work on some other things together while we wait for the others.
I'm hoping this change will allow more of you to participate which will allow us to start our meetings next week!
Welcome Back Everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful summer and read lots of exciting books!
This year is going to be another exciting year in the Library.
Book Club will begin Wednesday September 25th.
It will take place in the Library from 3:20-5:00 and Grades 5th-12th are all welcome to attend!
Our first book of the year will be "Wonder" By R.J. Palacio. This is a wonderful story for all ages about a 5th grade boy "Augie", who starts in a new school with a facial deformity. It is about the struggles and the triumphs that he experiences. This book has been rated a New York Times Best Seller and is said to be one of the greatest books for children this year! I am excited to begin exploring Augie's story with you.

I look forward to hearing about all of your adventures.
