Back at it!
Earlier this year we were moving forward quickly on a lot purchase and new home build. We've moved quite a few times over the past 15 years, so my wife wasn't thrilled about even a local move and new home build. She ultimately agreed to move forward, but it was clear we weren't on the same page. We put money down on a lot and started the design process... after a week or so, she told me that the timing just wasn't right and we needed to tap the brakes. It was actually a relief because she clearly wasn't ready and we were at odds in every step of the process.
Fast forward 6-7 months and we have both agreed that we'll build in 3-4 years. That will allow us to ferret away more funds, hopefully paying for most/all of the house in cash. It feels great to be on the same page and I think we'll really enjoy taking our time on the architecture/design process.
Couple of questions:
1. Does Houzz or other tools have a shared "clipboard" function? We'd love to be able to share ideas and design inspirations... might even print those ideas and post them in the house on a bulletin board. 3-4 years gives us a lot of time to get it right.
2. How early is too early to engage an architect? Two years out seems reasonable, but 3-4 feels like our needs/wants might change a bit.
3. Thinking about buying land sooner than later if we found the perfect dream location. We're looking in the Afton, MN area and very few 3-5 acre lots are available in close enough proximity. We should be able to buy with cash, but if we found the perfect lot and needed to finance part of it are there decent rates/terms available on land loans?
Final random question... I'm noticing a lot of homes going up in the area with a design that I haven't seen a lot of in the past. Typically exterior cedar shakes and stone with very long sweeping gables that curve out at the bottom. I kind of butchered the explanation, but is this a specific architectural style? I've seen it on small craftsman-ish houses and larger lodge style houses... I'll try to find a picture and post it as an example.
Great to be back and excited to move forward on our journey!
We have found Olioboard very useful. See the link. Below is a jpg of a board we made of our big furniture pieces, radius corners and soft trowel wall, what we like for basic indoor look and how we envision the back yard to be. We are still working on the front look. We lean toward what I believe is modern craftsman for the interior. Have fun with your design and build!\\
Here is a link that might be useful: Olioboard
It's not too soon to at least start looking into architects to make sure you find a good one for you. You could work with an architect now to explore and refine your requirements, or you could just wait. You can pay an architect by the hour to offer insights on feasibility of certain lots for building what you want, before you decide to buy. If you buy the lot early and still have a few years before building, you could start slowly with an architect to work on a concept and test it against your budget. The advantage of doing a little bit at a time is that it gives you a chance to mull things over--you don't have to make all decisions within a short time.
I just advise against developing a specific design before you've bought the land (diagrams, ok--floor plans dimensioned to the inch, not).
Happy new year!
Houzz lets you create "ideabooks" that are basically like collections of bookmarks to photos on their site with your own notes about what you liked in the picture. You can easily share these ideabooks with your design and construction team by email.
Start building your ideabook(s) now. It's never too early to start thinking about design. Since you are a few years out, you have a lot of opportunity with your property. Is natural light important to you? Visit the site at various times of the day. See where the sun comes, what obstacles (trees, etc) there are, where the views are etc. Your home should be designed with the properties of your land in mind.
If you've not bought the site yet be sure to check in the various restrictions on development in the area. In our town you are only allowed to build 6000sqft per acre total, including porches with 3 walls, and only 15000sqft of impervious covered hardscape/house per acre. There are also limits on septic, engineering, etc. Be sure to check out if there are any existing easements. How will this impact/limit your house or landscape plans? You can't build over a utility easement for example. What are the setback rules? Are there height limits? Is there a process by which neighbors can slow/block your development? If they're available, take a look online at your town planning committee minutes to see what obstacles past projects ran into!
A good architect will work with you to help refine and implement your vision for your life on your land. They should listen to you and your desires and bring their experience/wisdom to the table about what works and what doesn't in home design in general and for your specific area. There are too many people around that either don't have local knowledge, don't have enough of an opinion about details, or have too much of an opinion (e.g. they have a "vision" that supercedes yours). Spend the time talking to a few different architects and figure out which one you would be most comfortable working with. For me I was able to find one who shared my love of the type of house we were remodeling, and who was super responsive via email, and so the interaction has gone really well.
In broad strokes, the process for us went something like this - we considered the types of space we wanted, figured out what spaces could be multipurpose, came up with rough dimensions for the spaces etc. then (since we are a remodel) drew the perimeter of the house and arranged them inside the perimeter using colored bubbles in a computer program. From there both the architect and I took several steps at arranging the bubbles into a layout my wife and I liked. You have much more freedom when you are working with 100% new construction, though if you are shooting for a specific historical style you may have more limitations (e.g. a colonial will limit you to a rectangular shape). From there, we proceeded to modeling the space in three dimensions, understanding the elevation, ceiling heights, etc. Plans followed and now we're in early construction and material selections.

Steve Jobs Mega Yacht Venus
January 5, 2015 by Beth Colt
Is is fitting that I captured images of the late Steve Jobs yacht Venus with my iPhone? Yes. Would he have been amused that posting them to Instagram later that day would cause an international stir? I am thinking not.
I took a vacation last week, sailing around the British Virgin Islands with my family and a few friends on a small rental sailboat from a great outfit called the Moorings in Tortola. On our last night out at sea, we anchored in the Norman Island Bight, famous as an ancient hideaway for pirates and rum runners. Captain Kidd hung out there, or so they say at the pub onshore.
In any case, I was snorkeling and enjoying the trade winds on our last day out when this extraordinary mega yacht anchored at the mouth of the harbor. It looked like something suitable for a villain in a Bond movie. Not really even like a ship — boxy, clear, highly structured. From a distance it appeared that the bow was square, like the whole thing was a floating Bauhaus inspired cube. More like something you would see in the Malibu hills than on the ocean. More like an Apple store.
When we got closer, we saw the huge bow deck littered with teak furniture and red cushions. The illusion of a box from afar was created by a polished chrome bowline that reflected the water. The whole boat was like a mirror, mirroring images that passed (like our tiny sailboat that looked positively trailer trash in comparison). The stern was open like a tin can, with a ziggurat of steps cascading down to the water. We circled peeking into what was clearly an exercise room with a huge shiny X that reminded me of the Mondrian Hotel in LA. Several crew members were in there, polishing the chrome, scrubbing the deck and rearranging the bicycle collection. There were paddle boards, a small umbrella, room for the launch which appeared to be elsewhere.
I posted these photos to Instagram right after I saw the ship. I could not resist, even though I try to keep my photo stream focused on fun things to do here in Woods Hole. Little did I imagine that these images would go viral the next day. First on Gizmodo, then Business Insider, Time Magazine, Cult of Mac, you name it.
So what does Steve Jobs' mega yacht have to do with the Woods Hole Inn? Challenging question. I am a big fan of the iPhone, especially for photos, and I teach a seminar called "ten tips for great photos with your smart phone" with a session coming up next week. Not nothing, but not likely to get me the TED talk that might earn me an invite on this ship. Of course, there is always Captain Kidd. He hid out around here too, in amazing harbors like Tarpaulin Cove and Quicks Hole — equally beautiful places in summertime. (There is even a Captain Kidd restaurant right here in Woods Hole!) And we share the beautiful Atlantic waters as Cape Cod is the last stop on the East Coast for the Gulf Stream.
OK, maybe you are right — the connections between the Woods Hole Inn and Steve Jobs' mega yacht Venus are tenuous at best. I doubt publishing these photos will help get me my dream invite on board, but I'll keep you posted. I can only imagine the stir true inside shots might make. All rights reserved.

Tonight's feature:
The Winding Stream
The Winding Stream tells the story of the American roots music dynasty, the Carters and the Cashes. Starting with the Original Carter Family, the film traces the ebb and flow of their influence, the transformation of that act into the Carter Sisters, June Carter's marital alliance with legend Johnny Cash, and the efforts of present-day family to keep this long musical legacy alive. The Carters didn't just play the music of the hill country. They helped invent it. A.P. was both composer and song collector, arranging snippets of ancient, musty melodies into commercial American popular music. Maybelle took the then-underutilized guitar and made it into the cornerstone of country instrumentation, in no small part by developing innovative ways of playing it that are now commonplace. And Sara became the first well-known woman's voice in country music, stamping it with the eerie Gothic quality we find in so much of that genre's canon now. The stream these three created has turned into a rushing river and has moved through several generations of musicians. Arguably, there would be no Folk Revival of the '60s without them, no country-rock bands of the 70s, and no alt-country hipsters of our present era. Will the Circle Be Unbroken? Keep on the Sunny Side. Worried Man Blues. Are You Lonesome Tonight? These are just some of the hundreds of songs the Original Carter Family presented to the world. It's hard to overstate their influence on American music.

Photo of the Year, Pick Your Favorite from the 2014 Season
December 20, 2014 by Beth Colt
Call me shutterbug. All year long, I wander around Woods Hole and snap photos with my iPhone. I post these photos daily on the Woods Hole Inn's Facebook page under the moniker "Woods Hole Colors." Maybe some of you already follow me there.
As we hurtle towards the New Year, I decided to review 365 days of my photo library and share my favorites. There are so many breathtaking vistas in and around Woods Hole, but I am always hunting for new light, a new angle, a new take. Somehow, the scenery manages to change and familiar spots continue to look new to me.
My photo of the year essay starts in the winter, perhaps my favorite season because it is new to me. As a wash-ashore aka former summer person (the lowliest form of life to a real Cape Codder:), the landscape I know so well never ceases to amaze me when bathed in snow.
A close second to snow scenes are winter sunsets. I am not sure if they are more beautiful because we need them to be to keep our spirits up in the cold, or perhaps we are more likely to appreciate them because they come so much earlier in the day. In any case, the light across the water with storm clouds hovering also captures my imagination.
When spring comes, I wait for these three cherry trees to blossom. You can see them from Woods Hole Road as you drive into town, and their high bloom only lasts a day or so, less if the wind blows hard. Perched as they are atop a hill in the golf course, these three sisters epitomize late spring for me.
Come summer, I like to visit Menemsha on Martha's Vineyard. You can get there via the ferry to Vineyard Haven, then hire a taxi or hop the public bus system. This spring, I held an iPhoneography workshop at the Inn and on Sunday we visited this tiny fishing village. Don't get me wrong, it's a commitment to get all the way out to Menemsha. Off the grid. Rustic. Old school.
In late June, the Corwith Cramer comes back to her home port. This metal hulled clipper ship sails the seven seas with college kids aboard as part of the "Sea Education Association" (aka S.E.A.). Her slip in Woods Hole is right across the street from the Woods Hole Inn. All of a sudden, Woods Hole feels a bit more like the whaling village it once was.
High summer, the days are so long it does not get totally dark until after 9 pm. The view from the Eel Pond drawbridge is beautiful every day, but some days, with the stillness of evening settling the water to glass, a ferry perched on the horizon and the sky tingling with hues of pink and baby blue? Thank goodness for that iPhone in my pocket! Poems should be written about this channel, children named after it, world leaders brought here to fill their hearts with tranquility before global negotiations. I share the immeasurable healing power of a single vista.
Summer is a blur of guests from far and near with the streets of Woods Hole packed like Manhattan, the buzz of late night revelers walking in the warm air, buskers, beach days, sailing trips, outdoor showers, sand on the floor, piles of salty towels on the porch, little sleep and lots of fun.
Friends visit: we enjoy restaurant meals, ferry rides, books on the beach and long walks home under the bright stars.
The kids love these long days filled with cousins, trips to Cuttyhunk for ice cream, climbing the copper beach in front of Pie in the Sky, trying every item at the penny candy store.
Summer is all about parties and invitations. This was a memorial gathering in the forest outside the house of my friend Jill (a wicked talented architect) who lost her daughter earlier this year. It was an understandably muted festivity in honor of Lizzie, but there was plenty of square dancing after the pot luck meal.
Of course there are also spectacular summer sunsets, and many people have roof decks. Sweet huh.
Not every day is perfect. Sometimes the fog rolls in and you can hear the ferries talking to each other with their horns as they pass in pea soup of Vineyard Sound. A hush seems to fall over the village, even the street conversations are quieter. OK, you're right – it's perfect in a different way.
Then with a headlong rush comes fall. It's later here because the Gulf Stream keeps temps high until the end of October. As my kids carved pumpkins on the front porch at Halloween this year, a gaggle of eighth graders came by in towels from a swim at the beach. (I think they were showing off, but whatever.)
For the final best photos of the year, I will take you home to a recent autumn picture of the Woods Hole Inn, where a warm welcome awaits you should you decide to come experience the Cape Cod seasons for yourself. If you have a favorite from my collection, let me know in the comments below.
Or follow me on Facebook, where I post seasonal images every day, all year long. #WoodsHoleColors

Stormy Cape Cod in November

Fall comes slowly to Cape Cod, with the height of our foliage season happening now in early November. As the nights begin to cool, winter storms start to head our way. We had our first nor'easter of the season last weekend, felt a little early for it especially when the snow began to flurry, but the old timers nodded like this was normal — Cape Cod can be wicked this tima yehr.
My Sunday started especially early as power was out. Here is the pole I discovered down in front of our neighbors at the Sands of Time.
With the generator humming early, Charlene put out breakfast and hot coffee as the winds howled outside at 50 MPH. We were able to warm up quiches, cakes and bread puddings and we added a platter of Dunkin Donuts because stormy days require extra fortification (and God forbid that generator did not work — I'm always thinking about the contingency plan:) Most of our weekend guests headed home as it was a Sunday, but the wind kept blowing all day long. By nightfall, the Woods Hole Inn filled back up again with islanders stranded in Woods Hole as the ferries stopped running. There was a really dramatic sunset, all purple and red with only the horizon glimmering with light. This photo barely captures it's extreme beauty, but you can see the gusts of wind still moving across the puddles.
The next few days were the most stunning clear weather, and the north wind from the storm gave the trees a major wake up call – time to lose those leaves! This magical period with bright colors before the leaves tumble are some of my favorite days on Cape Cod.
Later in the week, I headed over to Martha's Vineyard for a cocktail party, boarding the ferry at about 3.45 pm as the gloaming was setting in, and the weather looked extremely ominous once again. Another storm…already?, I thought.
I must admit, I was happy to be on a vessel this size, and am always confident in the judgement of the Steamship Authority captains who would never head out in unsafe weather. My thirteen foot Boston Whaler has been dry docked for the season, but I would not venture out with that mean looking cloud hanging over me in a smaller boat. As it played out, it looked worse than it was, and we had an uneventful passage culminating in this extraordinary view as we entered Vineyard Haven:
This bejeweled vision really gave me pause. Like, take a deep breath and relax. Count your blessings. Revel in the splendor of nature. Enjoy getting off the beaten path. Visit the Vineyard more often. Get your nose out of the camera phone and just look, take it in, appreciate the gift of this view.
Add this moment to the sunset that came two nights later, and I pinched myself for being lucky enough to live in as magical place as sometimes stormy Cape Cod. The winter winds will come, the leaves will fall, but each sunrise and sunset is it's own small miracle here on the sand spit we call home.
Our 500th TripAdvisor Cape Cod Review
October 9, 2014 by Beth Colt
As of today, we have received our 500th review on TripAdvisor Cape Cod. Six years in business, 500 reviews, 96% of which are four or five stars. Wow, I am grateful for all those guests who shared their experiences with the world. Sometimes I feel like Sally Fields at the 1984 Academy Awards: You like me, you really like me. But the online review system is not just an echo chamber of positives for us.
We use TripAdvisor as a way to listen to our customers, and most of the time they tell us they are happy. But every once in a while, well ergh, four times since we opened six years ago (but who is counting), they really let us have it. A "terrible" review can leave me sleepless for more than a few nights, brainstorming about the details and trying to fix every single one of the highlighted issues. I read a book once called "Every Complaint is A Gift" and the title really says it all (now you don't have to read the book:) By studying the meta message in each negative, I know we can consistently improve.
As the old saying goes, the customer is always right. In this day and age of online transparency, the customer is more than that: our guests are a lifeline to growth and continued business. So we listen very carefully.
Thank you to each and every customer who took the time to write us a review on TripAdvisor Cape Cod — good, mixed or bad. We truly appreciate it. We know that your vacation days are precious, your business travel important. We care about the details of making your journey special.
One of the most gratifying thing about this zen-like focus on customer satisfaction is that we have a robust list of repeat guests, people who cherish us as much as we cherish them. They come back, time and again, and bring their friends. So we thank you all, and we hope to see you soon at the Woods Hole Inn, located in the small fishing village of Woods Hole, part of the town of Falmouth on Cape Cod.

Fall Colors 2014 in Woods Hole
October 6, 2014 by Beth Colt
Fall into autumn with a visit to Cape Cod, the perfect time to explore Woods Hole. There are so many exciting things to do in fall, looking at the fall colors is just one of them. Here, my TOP TEN reasons to visit Woods Hole this autumn.
#10: Ride the Shining Sea Bike Path
Before moving here, I had no idea of the splendor of riding a dedicated bike path, past beaches, lagoons, bird sanctuaries.. all without a car in sight. Falmouth's Shining Sea Bike Path is a national treasure, especially as the fall colors bloom. Add the cool air, and it is the perfect time to explore Falmouth by bike. The bike path is 11 miles long, starting in Woods Hole and ending in North Falmouth.
#9: Sit a Spell
The ferry horn blows in the distance. The blue heron explores the shoreline, leaves tumble in the wind, a water bug sends ripples over the perfect reflection. You slow down, listen, and true relaxation sets in.
#8. Walk to the Light House Nobska Light is know as one of the most beautiful lighthouses in America, and it's a short walk from the center of Woods Hole. Wander up here on a clear day and you can see Menemsha, Martha's Vineyard, Falmouth Heights, even Tarpaulin Cove if you know where to look. Ferry boats pass in the distance, white clouds race overhead. Lie on the cool grass and imagine you're in your own personal "Christina's World."
#7. Go Antiquing
I live for antique shops filled with clutter — old wooden boats, glass balls, ships anchors, crooked oars and wicker chairs. Here, treasures unknown await — a racy deck of playing cards, old letters, signs for businesses that no longer exist. Upper Cape Cod has a nice collection of these hideaways, plus an excellent yard sale scene. When you come to the Woods Hole Inn, I will share my secret sources with you, crafting an itinerary that includes a scenic drive and plenty of Cape Cod memorabilia.
#6. See the Sunrise over the HarborSure, anyone can walk around our charming marina any old time of day, but if you really want to see it at it's VERY best? Sunrise! Every day this amazing show goes on and most people are still in bed. Not you! I tipped you off, now just get up and see it:) You can thank me later.
#5. Walk an Empty Beach
Fall colors bloom on the beach with the deep blue of the ocean setting off the autumn leaf peepers display. Long walks searching for seaglass and shells are in your future. I recommend Nobska Beach, Stoney Beach, Wood Neck Beach, Surf Drive or Chappaquoit but there are many others within an easy drive of here. You will not run out of beaches to explore while staying in Falmouth — there are over 70 of them!
#4. Eat a Romantic Meal on the waterfront
In the fall, the waterfront places fire up the wood stoves and these summer porches become the most delightful and romantic dining destinations. Try the Landfall, the Captain Kidd, Fishmonger, Phusion or the new Quicks Hole Tavern. There is a waterfront table with an incredible sunset view of the fall colors waiting for you in Woods Hole. Yum!
#3. Paint a Picture
Bundle up, grab your paints and find the perfect vista to paint. Oh that Cape Cod light! Just sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the time roll away. Add the fall colors? Perfect.
#2. Enjoy a Hearty BreakfastGuests of the Woods Hole Inn enjoy a great spread of all you can eat treats like mini quiches, bread puddings, croissants, fresh cut fruit, Greek yoghurt, home made granola and lots of piping hot coffee. Who doesn't want to start the day with a great breakfast? You will need it with all the activities we have planned for you.
#1. Daytrip to Martha's Vineyard
From the Woods Hole Inn, you just walk across the street to hop on the ferry to visit Martha's Vineyard. As the ferry pulls away from the slip, look back over the village of Woods Hole for the view above. The 45 minute ferry ride is part of the fun, with a great outdoor deck plus hot cocoa and beer inside.
Passenger tickets are $16 per person round trip. You arrive in Vineyard Haven where there are shops, bookstores and great restaurants to explore. Parking is tricky in Woods Hole, but as a guest of the inn we will take care of all that for you. It makes day tripping to the Vineyard delightfully easy.
That's it, my TOP TEN. Hope to see you soon in Woods Hole! The fall colors await.
Saying Goodbye to Summer in Woods Hole
September 14, 2014 by Beth Colt
Girls just want to have fun or so my father likes to remind me. Although I am a serious college student during the rest of the year, I am an unabashed pleasure-seeker in the summer. And this summer at the Woods Hole Inn, my work and my play mingled most affably.
One might think that having grown up in Woods Hole, I'd be tired of the tourist scene. But for me, the bustling street life, the teeming beaches, and even the long lines for my double iced soy latte are all part of summer, and, seeing it all from the perspective of a Woods Hole Inn guest and blogger, I totally understand why our guests keep coming back.
Thanks to the Woods Hole Inn, I explored (and savored!) the restaurants, historic tours, and local museums and events through the eyes of a visitor and couldn't have been more delighted. Early morning donuts at the Black Dog in Vineyard Haven, an afternoon lesson on Walsh roses at the Woods Hole Historical Museum, and one of the best sunsets over Eel Pond "on assignment"; who wouldn't want to be a tourist or a guest blogger!
As my summer comes to an end, I would like to thank the pleasant and helpful staff at the Woods Hole Inn for giving me the chance to simultaneously work hard, learn tons, and play local traveler. It was a fantastic summer in Woods Hole!

Beaches of Woods Hole
July 27, 2014 by Beth Colt
Where is the best beach in town? This is a question I hear regularly around town and especially at the Inn. Since our village is peninsular, you can't walk 5 minutes in any direction without seeing the ocean and waterfront property is not exactly hard to come by. And although much of the ocean front real estate is private, the public beaches in Woods Hole each have something different to offer to both visitors and locals.
Confusing because of its name, "Stoney Beach" or "Stoney" (by the locals) is actually the sandiest beach in Woods Hole. Sheltered from the prevailing southeast sea breeze, Stoney is the perfect place to spend a day at the beach without getting sand in your sandwich, and by the middle of summer, the water is warm and welcoming for even the most novice ocean swimmers. Nestled between weathered cottages, Stoney is setback from the road, and, because it is an official town beach, a Life Guard is on duty during the day.
Venture a little bit farther in the opposite direction, and find the most scenic beach around just below Nobska Lighthouse with gorgeous views of the Lighthouse, Martha's Vineyard, and the entrance to Woods Hole Harbor. The consistent southwest breeze makes Nobska Beach the perfect balmy day hang out spot and if you need some extra cooling-off, take a dip in the crisp water. Make sure to take a quick walk up to the Lighthouse to snap some pictures of the ferryboats going by.
Want to bring your dog to the beach? Or watch the sun set over the water from your car on a chilly evening? Then the "Town Landing" opposite Park Street is for you. It is somewhat hidden from the road, down a lengthy stone road, and, although the beach looks unappealingly rocky from first glance, swimming is actually a breeze because of its lack of sand bars and quick drop-off. You can venture out on the jetty too and slide into the cool, refreshing water.
No matter what you are looking for, the beaches of Woods Hole are sure to please. So grab a beach towel from the front desk and make your way to any one of these walkable beaches from the Woods Hole Inn. You can grab on iced coffee from Coffee Obsession (or an iced soy latte, my personal favorite) and the locally inspired "Bourne Farm" sandwich from Woods Hole Market on your way. — from guest blogger Gwen Martin
Historic Highfield Hall & Gardens (Falmouth MA lodging)
July 17, 2014 by Beth Colt
Woods Hole is a village of the town of Falmouth, MA on Cape Cod, and Historic Highfield Hall and Gardens is three miles up the road. Highfield Hall is a restored house surrounded by gardens and now used for art exhibits, cultural gatherings and events. The Woods Hole Inn is a perfect jumping off point for your Falmouth, MA lodging to explore Highfield Hall and the arts on Cape Cod.
This season at Highfield Hall, don't miss the exhibit called "Portals and Passageways." As you drive up Highfield Drive, you will see trees that have been "yarn bombed" with brightly colored knitting. This fabulous burst of color turns an everyday forest into a gaggle of well-dressed statues, anthropomorphizing trees into stately ladies on a stroll from the Hall. What a perfect welcome, a cheeky hello if you like, to this unusual exhibit.
The guided walk starts with "Fragment House," a glass sculpture by Danielle Krcmar made with sea-glass suspended from wire and steel. Stepping in this little cubicle, you look back up at the main house and reflect on the nature of habitats, the joy of windows, and the wonder of scale. Poetry is carved on glass panels, the light glints on the fragments, and the summer wind breezes past you for a magical effect. You know what they say about people in glass houses…
As you wander the paths around the gardens, you will find other wonders from local artists — a series of mirrors installed in thin strips like trees in the woods (Andrea Thompson), a mossy path leading to a beautiful copper beech tree (Wendy Bagley), a geodesic peat moss hut called "Pan's Portico" (Ben Silva), a felt covered sign inviting you to explore "Hither and Yon" (Salley Mavor) and much more. These sculptures and installations remind us of our relationship to the wild, of the nature of man's need to build shelter, of the beauty of the dappled sunlight in the forest, of how lucky we are to have such skilled artists and craftsmen living on Cape Cod.
Great credit for the very existence of this resource in town goes to a group of dedicated preservationists who reclaimed Highfield Hall from the jaws of the wrecking ball and turned it into one of the best arts resources on Cape Cod. Special thanks to Jim and Ruth Clark, and others, for leading the charge. Our town is a better place for their generosity. One visit to Historic Highfield Hall will convince you, and if you are looking for the perfect lodging Falmouth, MA, please check out the rooms at the Woods Hole Inn, just three miles down Woods Hole Road from this cool spot.
Cape Cod Roses, or How Woods Hole grew this famous Cape Cod Rose
July 15, 2014 by Beth Colt
From Guest Blogger Gwen Martin: Ever wondered what a New England seaside village looked like in the early 1900s? A walking tour of Woods Hole opened my eyes to what life was like here over a hundred years ago. Although the village is now home to four major scientific institutions with their laboratories and offices, back then only the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) and National Marine Fisheries were in operation and only in the summer months, and they had fewer than 5 year-round employees each. And people think that Woods Hole is quiet during the winter now, ha!
During those early years, however, there was a thriving industry in Woods Hole that I would never have imagined. Its products were totally trendy and shipped worldwide. Any guesses? Roses. Walsh Roses to be specific. After years of experimenting while a gardener at the Fay Estate, Michael Walsh developed several strands of low-maintenance, beautiful, and unique Cape Cod roses. The Fays even hired an additional gardener, so Walsh could concentrate solely on developing his roses. The Fays wagered wisely, the Walsh rose did become world-renowned.
The Woods Hole Historical Museum's tour guide noted that Walsh was an astute horticulturist. He repeatedly sent roses across the Atlantic to Paris flower shows, and, without fail, the roses were in full bloom upon their arrival two weeks later. And his Woods Hole rose grew to be one of the most famous exports of Cape Cod, known to travelers around the world for it's distinctive color and simple bloom.
Although the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution now owns the land where Walsh's roses grew, his Cape Cod roses also grow throughout the village alongside shuttered 18th century cottages, quaint churches, and treasures like the exquisite stone Bell Tower and the gorgeous stone building which is home to the Woods Hole Public Library, adjacent to Walsh Cottage at the Museum.
The Woods Hole Historical Museum has created a map of the main rose locations, and they hope that visitors and locals will take the time to walk around and see this remarkable living history, a wonderful activity while staying at the Woods Hole Inn.

Visit the Woods Hole Historical Museum in summertime Cape Cod
July 11, 2014 by Beth Colt
There are so many fun things to do in summertime on Cape Cod, but one of my favorites is a visit to the Woods Hole Historical Museum in Woods Hole, MA. This small gem of a collection is housed in an adorable 18th century farmhouse draped with rambling roses and accompanied by an equally charming barn filled with old sailboats, models and memorabilia.
This season, there are two exhibits at the Woods Hole Museum — one on the history of businesses in the village and the other a series of life-like drawings of fish and sea creatures by James Prosek, a noted artist, author and naturalist. His paintings are incredible, and made me think of a modernist Audubon. See more on his work here.
I took a special interest in the "Businesses of Old Woods Hole" exhibit, as I recently gave a talk on being an entrepreneur in the village of Woods Hole so I am aware of some of the incredible leaders that have made this little village what it is today. Lining the walls are biographical material and photos of small-town luminaries such as Elijah Swift, Walter Luscombe, Prince Crowell and others who built whaling ships, created the guano factory that once operated here, started the first banks and more. It's really interesting (and inspiring!) to think about the challenges they faced, especially as so much has changed since then.
There are a few exhibits that never change at the Woods Hole Historical Museum — the small boat museum is essentially an old barn lined with the hulls, models and detritus of small wooden sailboats. There is a retired mirror dinghy (this class of boat developed in the 1930's is still sailed on Saturday mornings at the Woods Hole Yacht Club), a Hereshoff or two and more. Best of all is a moment in the cool shade of this quaint barn, looking out at the sunny Cape Cod weather just thinking about all the happy hours sailors spent on these vessels before they were retired to this perfect spot.
There is also a model of the village of Woods Hole, a brilliant creation of miniature houses, docks, ships capturing Woods Hole in the 1890's. It was made one winter by a crew of enterprising villagers, and it offers a birds eye perspective on the village that is well worth seeing.
When you come to Cape Cod in summer, don't miss a visit to the Woods Hole Historical Museum located at 579 Woods Hole Road. Check their website for access and hours which are significantly greater in the summertime.
Win a Free Night at the Woods Hole Inn, and other stories of our photo contest Cape Cod
June 30, 2014 by Beth Colt
Each year, the Woods Hole Inn holds a very special contest where we ask guests to wear our distinctive t-shirt to a far flung or unique spot, take a photo and submit it to our Cape Cod photo contest. We are pleased to share the 2014 winners of this wonderful tradition, who will receive free nights at the Woods Hole Inn and other treats for their efforts.
The 2014 contest wrapped up in April of this year with submissions from far and wide — amazing locations as far away as Machu Picchu (two submissions actually!), the Great Wall of China, and Istanbul. Others managed to wow us with images from closer to home — up in the rigging of a 126 foot Schooner and aerial yoga were some of the most unique we've ever received. But the winning submission was the one that touched our hearts.
Jeanette is a professional dancer with the Miami City ballet, one of the largest ballet companies in the nation. After visiting the Woods Hole Inn in July 2013, Jeanette experienced every dancer's nightmare: a torn tendon in her ankle which required major surgery. Her first submission pictures Jeanette in her hospital bed in a Woods Hole Inn tee. And miraculously, just a few short months later, she is back out on the stage performing a grand mattement again wearing her comphy tee. We are thrilled that our simple shirt was useful to her, and came along for the tough ride. I want to take this opportunity to thank Jeannette, once again, for sharing her special story with all of us and we look forward to welcoming her to the inn for her free nights stay plus lobster tacos in our farm-to-table restaurant Quicks Hole Taqueria.
The 2015 photo contest is just getting off the ground with the first entries in this week and posted on our Facebook page! We look forward to viewing your entries, wild and blustery or beautiful and serene from places as close as Boston to as distant as Timbuktu. Submissions can be made by e-mail or on our Facebook page, and come with your permission to use your image here. To vote for the audience favorite and see the newest entries to the 2015 contest, please visit this tab at WoodsHoleVacation.com.
Thank you to all who wear our tee to all corners of the world. Here are the other 2014 winners, with special thanks to all for joining in the fun:

Canada's poor record on end-of-life pain relief
England best place to die, global survey finds
Woody Allen once joked, "I'm not afraid of death. I just don't want to be there when it happens." A global survey by the Lien Foundation in Singapore recently reported the primary worry of the elderly is dying in pain. It listed England as the best place to die. Canada and the U.S. tied for 9th place.
As a physician I've always known that pain is the overwhelming fear, particularly for cancer patients. I've also known that heroin has been available in Britain for 90 years to ease the final agony of death. This knowledge triggered a visit to England to witness its use and to question why it wasn't used for this purpose in Canada. I didn't realize my probe would engender so much controversy.
British pain specialists shot down the myths of heroin held by critics in North America. The most asinine is that terminal cancer patients become addicted to heroin. They don't, because it's used for pain relief, not pleasure. But even if it did, who gives a tinker's damn about addiction when patients have only days or hours to live?
Cancer specialists at Thomas's Hospital in London told me some terminal patients were receiving 1,500 milligrams (mg) every four hours for pain, when 5 mg is the normal dose for post-operative cases. If patients experience a remission in their cancer they can be weaned off heroin in three weeks.
North Americans continue to claim morphine is as good as heroin. But it's a pharmacological fact that heroin is stronger, passes through the blood brain barrier faster and provides a sense of euphoria. I do not see anything wrong with giving dying patients a feeling of euphoria. Moreover, Scotland Yard told me that fears in Canada that hospital pharmacies might be broken into was nonsense, as it had not happened in Britain.
I reported these facts in my column and received thousands of letters of support. Then the unexpected happened. I was severely criticized by the Canadian Cancer Society, RCMP, the Pharmacy Association and some cancer specialists. I was uninformed, they insisted.
This began a five-year battle with critics during which time I formed the W. Gifford-Jones Foundation for Pain and received financial support from readers. On December 20, 1984, the government responded to public pressure and legalized heroin for terminal cancer patients.
But inane restrictions were imposed. Heroin had to be kept in guarded unknown locations in Canada and transferred to hospitals under police escort. Some hospitals required doctors to appear before a committee to present their case for heroin. These obstacles resulted in such small amounts of heroin being used by doctors that heroin is no longer imported into Canada.
My Foundation collected $500,000 that was donated to the University of Toronto Medical School to establish the W. Gifford-Jones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative Care. This does an excellent job teaching the care of terminal patients.
The Lien Foundation must be congratulated for creating a "Quality of Death Index." It considers the quality of death as important as the quality of life. But it should not depend on what country you live in, or what part of that country, that determines how well you will be cared for in your final days. It will take a mammoth effort for Canada and the U.S to overtake England and other countries in this field. In Canada, only 10 to 30 per cent of those who need it receive end-of-life care. Today we spend huge amounts of money on the battle with death that cannot be won. All too often I see terminal patients cruelly subjected to painful and useless diagnostic and so-called therapeutic procedures when what they need is pain-free hospice care.
Unfortunately, Woody Allen cannot escape being there when death arrives. But there would be less fear for all of us if we knew that painkillers and palliative help would be available. Being ninth is not good enough for Canada or the U.S.
The fight to legalize heroin is documented in my memoir, You're Going to Do What?

Kansas City, MO - Kansas coach Bill Self's fence-mending trip worked: Xavier and C.J. Henry are still coming to Lawrence to play for the Jayhawks.
A day after traveling to Oklahoma City to clear the air with two of his prized recruits, Self said Wednesday that Xavier and C.J. will play for Kansas next season.
The two brothers originally planned to play together at Memphis, but left in April when coach John Calipari bolted for Kentucky. After briefly considering following Calipari, they signed at Kansas, where three family members played.

This place was a great find and a good value. They pay attention to a lot of the 'little things' and details. The staff was very nice and helpful, they have free kayak rentals, bbq usage, clean rooms, a pool table, nice casual outdoor seating by a fire, and the list goes on. We went without our kids this time, but I think we have found a nice little getaway in the future!

Fabulous Hotel. Staff extremely helpful. Rooms spotless. In an excellent location 5 minutes walk from the Opera House, 5 minutes to main shopping area. We got excellent value as we were staying for more than 4 nights. We would highly recommend this hotel to anyone going for a break to the beautiful city of Budapest. - Colette
The flat is really nice and we enjoyed our time! The location is perfect
for sightseeing, shopping, go to the restaurant etc Close to the Nyugati
train station and tram/metro lines. Nearby the opera and Szimpla

3. Useful facilities, such as washing machine, mic-oven
4. Shopping mall nearby - Anonymous
The hotel is fabulous. So comfortable, clean and has a really luxurious feel. The staff are so friendly, especially in the bar and restaurant. In fact I would say that the friendliness of the staff was one of the main highlights of our stay at the Meridien. The location is also fantastic, so central and within easy walking distance of all the main tourist attractions. Try their cakes in the bar!! - Diane
It's the second time we've stayed there in a short while. As we went to Croatia by car, we stopped in Budapest going and coming back. After the first experience in the hotel, we wanted to return. We booked a larger suite (silver) and when we got there they upgraded us to a gold suite free of charge. That's an upgrade from a 200 euro room to a 500 euro room. I give it an A+ on all counts. Excellent - Mihai
Everything. The room was very clean and nice. The staff was excellent and spoke English. The restaraunt was very nice with great view. - Gregory

Ripped pad off when removing battery, iPod still good?
So I was trying to desolder the battery terminals and on the very last one, it pulled the pad off the board. Is the board still good? Can I just take the pad off the battery end and reapply it?
I have one that is missing in the middle and the other on the left. I was reading those links and it says something about scraping the green off. Do i scrape the dot off too? Would I just apply solder in the empty spot and tin the down side of the battery connections?
Edited by: mayer ( ) , Cody ( )
Accepted Answer
Cody, you are not the first person that this happens to. Here is my answer from a very similar question:" If the pad has been completely ripped off the board, the only options would be:
1) Find the trace the pad normally connects to, scrape off some lacquer and re-attach to a new point. or 2) Replace the whole board. You should be okay with attaching the cable to the race or the next point where the trace leads to. You need a good magnifying lamp, a steady hand and good equipment. You should also check on here http://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/61241... " This is from here. Check this link for all the questions/answe
Attached an image to show where you can bridge the contact. Solder wicks are braided copper, so you are runing risk of unbraiding and shortcircuiting your contacts. Take a few copper strands of that and solder those to each other to thicken the strands, 4 to 5 strands would be plenty.
Edited by: oldturkey03 ( )
I updated it with a picture. What do you mean attach to a new point? Also some of the links said something about scraping off the green. Do i scrape off the dot too? It also mentioned a copper wire. Do i have to use it? Will desoldering braid do? Can I just retin bottom of the battery connections? Could I use the 3m electric condusive tape?
No, do not scrape of the green. In your case just connect it to the copper point just below to where the original pad used to be.
On one of them I ripped of the dot. What do I do for that one?
Which one and how far did you rip it. It looked okay in the original picture you posted :-)
it took the whole dot off. i have 2 that I messed up. This one i'm talking about is the other one.
YoloRepair ca
Do you have a picture of the damage? The pad is gone so you're gonna need to bypass it somehow. If you post a pic I can probably help you.
YoloRepair ca
Hi Cody,
looks like you're lucky You still have the golden circle. All you need to do is solder the battery to the +/- Pads.
As for the broken pad.. Looking at your picture looks like it's the middle one.
There's a golden circle right underneath the missing pad. All you need to do is add some solder preferably fluxed, and attach a wire which you will be jumping to the middle pad on the battery (Basically connect the golden dot to the middle pad of the battery)
After that just cover it up with some tape and you'll be set.
can i use copper wire from the desoldering braid? how thick a wire?
That should be fine. Just have to connect the golden dot to the pad on the battery. Doesn't matter if it's thick or small just has to connect.

Happy Hour: Mimosa
The other day, a friend asked me what were the standard proportions for making a mimosa. While I pour mine with 3/4 Champagne and 1/4 orange juice, I wasn't sure if that was the normal ratio. I asked her to wait a second while I checked YumSugar.com. I went looking for our mimosa recipe and was shocked to see that we've never written about a mimosa before! How this classic brunch cocktail slipped through the cracks is beyond me — I enjoy mimosas on a weekly basis! For the best mimosas, use fresh squeezed orange juice and a cheap but good sparkling wine.
To look at the recipe, read more.
Modified from Williams-Sonoma
2 Tbs. fresh orange juice
4 fl. oz. plus a splash of Champagne or sparkling wine
1 orange wheel for garnish (optional)
According to Wikipedia the ratio is three parts Champagne/sparkling wine to two parts orange juice.
Pour the orange juice and Champagne into a Champagne flute. Stir briefly. Add the orange wheel.
