An exhibit chronicling and highlighting the Little Magazine Movement, a landmark in American letters, will preview at Sarah Lawrence College during the month of November. An expanded exhibit will be on view at the Cervantes Institute in Manhattan in late spring. Acclaimed writer Barbara Probst Solomon and her graduate writing class at Sarah Lawrence College created the exhibit, which will tour the country next year. For further information and exhibit hours please call (914) 395-2470.
The Little Magazine Movement is as significant a literary landmark as the 1913 Armory Show is to the art world. "America -- Meet Modernism! Women of the Little Magazine Movement," is a comprehensive view of the impact little magazines, and the women writers who founded some of the most important ones, had on modernist literature in the first half of the twentieth century.
The Dial, Poetry, The Little Review, Story, Twice A Year and Sur in Buenos Aires introduced to this continent Cubism, Surrealism, Futurism, and feminist and Freudian theory. Among the poets and writers first published in these pioneering magazines were Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, Zora Neale Hurston, Carson McCullers, Mina Loy, William Faulkner, Franz Kafka, James Joyce, Kay Boyle, Sherwood Anderson, Mary Butts, Anton Chekhov, Marianne Moore, Amy Lowell, Ernest Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, John Cheever, Norman Mailer, Tennessee Williams and Virginia Woolf.
The exhibit includes a rare display of these "little" magazines, including The Dial from1842 as well as a collection of over forty photographs of the magazines' legendary editors and authors (some taken by Berenice Abbott, Man Ray, Alfred Stieglitz, and Dorothy Norman), vintage posters advertising the magazines and a detailed literary timeline of the women of the little magazine movement spanning the mid 19th to the mid 20th century. Five short films will be shown continuously during the exhibit hours. These include the rarely seen "A Propos de Nice" by the great innovative French director of the 1920s and early 30s' Jean Vigo; "Viaje a la Luna" by the Barcelona artist from an original screen play by Frederico Garcia Lorca; "Meshes in the Afternoon" (1943-59); "A Marriage: Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz" (1991) by Edwin Sherin and "Paris was a Woman" (1997), by Greta Schiller. The expanded version of this exhibit will include some Modernist art.
"To date there has been no overall evaluation of the tremendous role that women played during the Modernist period; their accomplishments remain a lost part of our literary history, an unknown part of our heritage," said Solomon, who with her students wrote the catalogue and collected the materials. "In assembling this exhibit and time-line my students at Sarah Lawrence College and I have focused on these women editors and writers in the context of the times they lived in, rather than as gender outsiders," she said. "Interestingly, when viewed from this perspective, their contribution to Modernism and American literature, rather than diminishing, hugely expands."
Barbara Probst Solomon is a professor in the MFA program at Sarah Lawrence, writer, editor and filmmaker. Among her books is her classic prize-winning memoir Arriving Where We Started and the novel Smart Hearts in the City. Her essays have appeared in Harper's Magazine, The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, Vogue, L'Infini, Cambio16, and The New York Review of Books. Her documentaries include the prize winning "When the War was Over." She is the El Pais American cultural correspondent and the editor of the literary journal The Reading Room. While a student in Paris in the 1950s she helped establish the historic Spanish dissident magazine Peninsula, which evolved into the legendary Paris-based Spanish publishing house Ruedo Iberico.
"The little magazine course is an excellent example of what we do best at Sarah Lawrence--provide our students with a rigorous educational experience that is at the same time innovative, even unprecedented," said Vijay Seshadri, director of Sarah Lawrence's graduate program in creative non-fiction. "Through this course our students not only studied literary history and wrote about it but also had a chance to touch it, and in fact, in important ways, make it."
The museum catalogue for "America -- Meet Modernism!" will be available at the Sarah Lawrence College bookstore and at booksellers, Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For further information: contact Great Marsh Press 212-946-4522 or visit http://www.greatmarshpress.com/. The exhibit is sponsored by Sarah Lawrence College, Great Marsh Press and the Cervantes Institute.
Notes on America – Meet Modernism! Women of the Little Magazine Movement
Statement from the Curator:
For many years I had mulled over in my mind the possibility of making an exhibit that would recover the lost history of these extraordinary women and their legendary magazines. As a writer, as an editor of a literary magazine, and as a teacher of writing students, I felt it important for students to realize that mainstream publishing is not identical to the history of great twentieth century literature. This past year I was able to organize the exhibit. I had eight highly motivated students in the Sarah Lawrence College graduate writing course I teach who were eager to make a museum catalogue and gather materials for the exhibit. I tossed out the ball; Nicole Davis, Leslie Hoffman, Ann Fine, Pamela Johnson, Martha Mortenson, Lynn Pitts, Tamuira Reid, and Donna Zucker, working as an ensemble team, energetically returned the volley. Each student wrote an essay on one of the magazines for our 152 page museum catalogue. What they liked best about the project was the experience of making something that turned into a published work. BPS
Historical Notes:
The precursor to all the little magazines was the 1840 transcendentalist Dial, which Ralph Waldo Emerson started, choosing Margaret Fuller as its editor. In addition to her writings and translations, Fuller wrote first-hand accounts of prison and mental asylum conditions, and became the first American woman foreign newspaper correspondent, covering the 1848 Italian revolution for the American press.
No one agrees on the exact moment when Modernism arrived on these shores. Alfred Stieglitz opened Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession (later known as "291") in New York in 1905, but it was the 1913 Armory Show that created the cultural storm. Yet one year before Marcel Duchamp and Picasso were shocking the American public with their art, literary modernism had crossed the ocean and was firmly on the train to Chicago. Harriet Monroe, inspired in her visit to London by the poetry of Ezra Pound, had founded Poetry magazine. Two years later, also in Chicago, Margaret Anderson founded The Little Review; she was soon joined by Jane Heap, an artist from Kansas. In l918 they published the first installment of James Joyce's Ulysses; by 1920 obscenity charges were filed against the magazine for publishing the thirteenth episode of Ulysses. Anderson and Heap lost the court case and even were threatened with prison. The post office destroyed all the copies of the magazine. It was `burn Ulysses burn' time. In the 20s Anderson and Heap moved The Little Review to Paris; during the same period Marianne Moore became the chief editor of the reincarnated version of The Dial.
The women connected to the Little Magazine movement wanted to be at the epicenter of the literary endeavor, at the heart of Modernism. They insisted on being essential players in their time, not an easy accomplishment for women in the first half of the twentieth century. They were plucky, determined, and combined a keen sense of literary and artistic judgment with innate felicitous practical know-how. Though their emphasis was on Modernism, they were alert to social issues. Martha Foley was jailed three days in Boston for championing women's rights; Victoria Ocampo was jailed for one month for her opposition to the dictator Juan Peron, and was unable to leave Argentina until the mid 1950s. Dorothy Norman was a close friend of Indira Ghandi and helped to set up the American Emergency Food Committee to feed the hungry in India.

May I use this fish as the background of my Twitter page? I'll make sure the address shows up at the bottom. I'm @bookwyrm73 there.
Great stuff, inspiring, I think I will try this art form, thank you.
This is beautiful. What type of glue do you use? And how do you intersect the paper of the fins so well?
The fish is beautiful. I would love to make it but I am not a talented quiller and I am low on patience.
Wow! You must have the patience of a saint to create something so delicate and precise. I particularly love the overlapping fins.
This is so beautiful!! I've made a few attempts at quilling and knowing the amount of time it took me to make a snowflake, I can't imagine how difficult it was to create something like that. You're amazing!
This is so pretty. Do you have any issues with it being blogged about or Twittered, with a link back to your page here on deviant? I like to advocate for artists who create unique things and I blog about them. Links are on my deviant page. Let me know!
fabulously gorgeous
Someone saved this as their profile picture on facebook just because they loved it...I had to track it down because I loved it so much. So glad I found your page through a few google searches!!!! Yayyyy I love this and definitely want to keep track of your work -Megan

The variety of shapes and colors you used work together well to make this piece beautiful! I love the texture the paper gives to the fish!
another question, do you use special quilling paper? or do you cut from regular colored A4 paper?

Very nice, modern and comfortable hotel, good location, only 10 to 15 mins walk to city centre. rooms a good size and quiet. managed to park in the street very close to the hotel, a plus. reception staff helpful and friendly.
Everything was perfect.
Raphael at the front desk was immensely helpful. Despite being a one-man show, he was very helpful and accommodating. Location of the hotel was fantastic as well. Even though the front desk was not staffed 24/7, frankly, there isn't so much to do in Granada that will keep you out of your hotel after 11pm.
There is an additional door hiding the door to our room. Feels a bit creepy.
The receptionist was very friendly and wifi was for free.
Excellent hotel in good location, 20 minute walk into town centre or short bus ride on regular service.Staff extremely helpful at all times, can't fault it.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and the rooms are very comfortable.
Our room was facing the inner couryard and it was hard to get light into the room without compromising our privacy. We requested a room with a view but we were told it would cost more. For the price we paid we should of had a room with a nice view. This hotel is a little overpriced.
staff very pleasant,very good breakfast, central location,
our room was too dark and airconditioning too noisy.
Nice hotel, great room. Enjoyed the hotel.
There is no parking at this hotel. The description said there was. Street parking was available, but when we followed the instructions from the front desk and parked where he circled on the map, the spot was not legal. I narrowly avoided a tow and got a ticket.
The hotel was easily reachable by car and within easy distance of the Alhambra. The design of the rooms is nice.
As in almost all of these kind of hotels it is impossible to control your own room temperature. The airconditioning didn't work, therefore I complained about our room being too hot too sleep to the reception and the receptionist said she would turn down our heating in her computer system and advised us to open a window. Even after that, it was so hot in the room that we had to sleep without sheets. Opening the window helped a little but brought in the sounds of the very busy conjunction of streets on which the hotel is located. The second night the room seemed even hotter and in the middle of the night i called the reception to complain, but both phones in the room didnt work! It was impossible to sleep in this hotel. Would never go back.
Room was very nosiy and we were charged more than three time the price for staying Saturday night from the price for staying on Friday. Thiis is outrageous and will be reported if no refund is given.
lovely, large and comfy beds. and a full sized bath.
Came to visit some friends that were already familiar with the area.
-cleaniess of the room
-staff members were great
-close to all the cafes, tapas, restaurants and shops
-next to the bus stop to see the Alhambra
-there are a few signs for the hotel but it could use some more as there are no major streets to it. That's about it.
Really small room. I've requested for a non smoking room and they gave me a smoking one. Window view poor, just in front of a wall. I would have given this hotel 4 stars category. I would have given 2 or 3 stars no more.
Food for brekfast
Very good hotel
They cancelled the key room 1 h before our departure considering all the
Greeted with a smile when i came in. Very friendly.
Nice room, very clean. Free wireless and it was reliable - i was able to skype with family back home.
Great breakfast - and healthy too!
no negative comments. it was a great stay.
We booked this hotel because of location.
When we entered to the rooms we booked there were windows opened so the room was very cold. The airconditioning was not sufficient to warm it in a while. Heating was there but was not good enough so we vere cold the first night. After second night when we finally were happy we had to change both rooms due to technical problems. We got better rooms but close to the place where was a party with music until 11pm. Was very noisy even if the windows vere closed. On top of it we don't think that the room are cleaned every day. By mistake we spil a bit of cereales on the floor and it stayed there for two days. We were really dissappointed with this hotel.
Looked after by good staff who cared about guests.
Its location and traffic niose even on the 5th floor.
Breakfast was extensive if perhaps lacking in 5* quality, which I could expect of a 4* to be fair. The room was of a good size and was well decorated and clean. It had a pool, although not terribly enticing to get in to, it helped with the 40+ degree heat. The curtains allowed for total sun exposure black-out, great for siestas in July!
The pool area was severeley lacking an upgrade to bring it in line with the other good hotel facilities.
Convenient to leave the car outside. Rooms were large.
The hotel was on the edge of town and so it was a 15 min walk to get into the centre of Granada. Not ideal for the Alhambra, Albaicin or city centre sites. Decor was a little tired and in need of a lick of paint in the rooms and corridor carpet was pretty stained and grim. The hotel was also quite noisy as you could hear chairs dragged across floors from rooms below, above and either side. Though full when we stayed in October, it was a souless place - no-one in any public rooms or bar.
We have been twice before and wanted to return as we knew how good it was.
The best thing about staying at the hotel was free internet acces, the courtyard, easy acces to the centre of the city. Free mini bar was good
There was no music channel availabe through the tv. No cd player or radio to listen too. The safey deposit box should be in the room with a coded box. The sauna facilites were good but a swimming pool would have bene better. No tea and coffe facilites availabe in the room.
The reason I selected Santa Paula was because the Hotel is in a 14 th century house , convent., medieval courtyard and the location.Unfortunately I did not receive the rooms I requested (courtyard view). I was not told the "type" of rooms I reserved were not located on the courtyard. Very frustrating. We revived every day in the Turkish Bath and sauna. The staff were helpful .
Your descriptions and prices are extremely misleading.The reason I selected The ac Santa Paula was because the Hotel is in a historic building with a medieval courtyard + location.I Specifically requested a court yard room .I specifically requested 2 rooms on the court yard. We received 2 tiny new rooms in a new wing I did not know existed.The staff informed me the rooms I reserved were not on the court yard! Why did not some one inform me upon my reservation.The next morning the gracious staff moved our belongings to rooms facing the courtyard. They did not inform us that the court yard (not on the court yard level but facing the court yard) rooms were not the same rate I had been quoted substantially $$. Very frustrating experience.
Staff: very kind and helpful, spoke many languages. The room: very nice, big and silent. Well located for city walks, the cathedral, the Alhambra and Albayzin.
Difficult to access by car. Parking rather expensive.
Great location, lovely interior and reasonable price!
Close to city of Granada - staff were so helpful - will definitely use again
Cozy, Comfortable, helpful staff...everything was just excellent

YES, I gotta get in on the action and do a Mock and get my picks on the Webzone. Can't believe the draft is here already!!!!! I'm FIRED UP!
The Niners have a philosophy on players and systematic styles (west coast and 3-4 defense) which leads them in a curtain direction.
3-4 defense – Looking for DT in college that can play end, stuff the line first and rush second. We are looking for DE that can be turned into OLB's. We probably won't draft an OLB from college unless they are very big and set the edge. Primarily they want to rush the passer. Niners have played an elephant backer for years (1 primary rush guy like Aldon or fred dean or Haley.) This limits who we will draft, but we also probably don't overpay for a lot of guys. We have one of the best front sevens in the nfl.
West coast offense with a run first slant– We like big receivers that can pick up YAC. They don't have to be burners but I think that has hurt us in the past because of our lack of speed. That being said we probably won't take a Kendall Wright (or Desean Jackson) because we like bigger receivers that can block, and who won't wear down in the season. Also Harbaugh loves to use the TE because it creates such a match up problem for teams.
Player Profiles niners are looking for
1) SMART OR FOOTBALL SMART– The west coast Offense is a timing offense that gives the team a lot of options. We only had 1 year in the O so the offense should open up more this year. A lot of the WR's have reads to make on the defense and that can offer 5 options from a regular post pattern depending on the defense. I think that this has hurt Crabtree a lot because of timing with Alex and also him missing so much time, he's behind the other players. I feel Alex needs to have tremendous trust with the players if he's going to make a tight throw. VD is the only one that he consistently trusts because he's got the speed and the knowledge which goes to the next point.
2) LOVE FOOTBALL – Baalke wants football first guys who truly love the game. F DIVAS and so no to Rashan Woods players or Glen Coffee types who aren't into the game.
3) CHARACTER GUYS – Say what you want but Nolan, Singletary and McCloughan have their stamp on the team with character guys. You want "SELFLESS" blue collar type guys who are TEAM FIRST guys. DIVAS are not welcome. You can have a couple of question marks (moss, cox, crabtree) but you can't have too many or they will cause some problems. So guys like Jenoris Jenkins aren't going to be drafted by the Niners with their first round pick or maybe not at all. Too much of a risk.
I have my main choices and then some alternates if those choices aren't there.
1) TE Coby Fleener - Best TE in the draft, but one of the best "match up" problem guys in the draft. He gives some options at TE, you can split him or Vernon wide (we split VD wide a lot in the last six games and playoffs). He has a huge catching radius and gives us a BIG RECEIVER….it's something that we haven't had probably since Russ Francis. He knows the offense, he's smart, he's a Stanford guy……really do I have to say more?
1B) OG Kevin Zeitler – I think if Fleener is gone they trade down to a high second and pick up another pick, if not. They will take a Guard. This guy is a freaking mauler, he pulls well and had something like 44 knockdowns.
2) OG Brandon Brooks – If they go TE in the first, they probably go guard here if they stay put. If they move up, it could be best corner available but they would have to trade up to get up. This guy is a monster though. 6 5 340 and he ran a 5.0 flat in the 40. That is pretty crazy for a big guy. Had some weight issues in college.
2b) Josh Robinson – 4.33 at the combine which was the fastest time. Two time all American 10 intereceptions. The Niners face 5 of the top QB's in the league. It doesn't hurt to have another corner, but they are going to have to trade up to get him.
2b) WR Brian Quick - If they take fleener first, they won't take a WR here. But if they go guard. This player is really rising. He is a tall physical receiver who is the kind of player they like. 6 3 ½ 220 pounds.
3) CB Trumaine Johnson – big physical cornerback (6 2)…..if he doesn't work out there, you make him a safety. He had some character concerns in college but the 3rd round is good value for him. Not sure if he lasts until late 3rd so you may have to trade up to get him.
3b) TE Ladarius Green – Big TE if they didn't get fleener. 6 6 235 some notes about Green - Tremendous body control and concentration to pull the ball down in traffic. Closely covered on many receptions but had few drops. Good body control, focus and large 10-inch mitts. Has quick feet and lateral agility to uncover over the middle. Reliable jump-ball target with 82-inch wingspan
3c) DE Derek Wolfe – This is a 3-4 type of player the niners like…..I like the notes about him…..Has very good awareness, keeping his head on a swivel with a good feel to quickly locate and react to the play. Tough as nails with a physical attitude and often attracts double-teams. An extremely hard worker in the weight room and doesn't let up in practice. Versatile in college, lining up in several different spots, including moving to nose tackle over the center on third downs
4)WR Tommy Streeter – 6 5 220 4.33…..Stephen Hill is getting all of the hype, but Streeter has the same physical skills and not as big of a bust potential here. He can work in slowly .
5) FS Brandin Hardin – 6 3 220 played corner in college, but is a physical freak 24 reps on bench with 4.43 speed. He drops in value because of injuries.
5b) WR / KR / PR Devon Wylie - 5 10 4.36 speed. He had some injuries…..a nice special teams pick with Slot receiver potential.
6) C David Molk – Center from Michigan. Not dominating but won the nations Dave Rimington award for best center. Has some injuiries in the past.
7) OLB Braylon Broughton - TCU – Didn't have a lot of production in college but he has the size and the speed 6 4 257 and he ran a 4.55, 26 reps on the bench and 36 inch vertical. This would be a pracice squad guy.

Jacky and Roger, Yogi and Coconut
"A cosy, comfortable retreat In a corner of Pembrokshire, ideal f"
We arrived a little hesitant owing to the unusually freezing temperatures at Easter. The owner, Josey, had very kindly allowed us to travel up the day before our rental was due to start to allow us to avoid the bank holiday traffic with our Old English Sheepdogs, Yogi aNd Coconut. We arrived very late to a lovely cosy though fairly large farmhouse, all heated up for us!! This was just the start of a wonderful week. The nearby beaches and scenery were wonderful, and the kitchen large enough to have some lovely family meals together, as my daughter and grand daughter had come with us. The local Tescos was only ten minutes which meant we could stock up for the week as the farmhouse has a large freezer. There is also a really useful utility room with a washing machine and ample room to dry clothes, so next time I won't need to overpack as I always do!! The outside space was perfect for Yogi and Coconut who ran themselves silly every day, it was also very relaxing to sit in the conservatory watching them and relaxing with book and a cup of tea. We have never been to this part of Wales before and think it absolutely lovely, the people are also very friendly and Yogi and Coconut are now in lots of holiday photos!
This is an idyllic place to holiday if you are looking to get away from it all and de stress. Josey was very helpful and quick to answer any queries we had and made the whole booking process very easy. We have already booked for September, and may well return sooner if we can !! We feel very lucky to have found somewhere so lovely, and very reasonably priced. Thankyou, Josey.

Hi Jacky,
Thank you for such a great review and it's so good that you and your family (including Coconut and Yogi of course) had such a brilliant time. Ann I think contacted you to thank you for leaving Hafod Villa, so beautifully tidy and hair free - no mean feat with 2 Old English Sheepdogs!
Anyway we hope that you are looking forward to your week at the cottage at the end of September and it's always easier when you return to a place and know what to expect. There are lots of new places that you are looking forward to exploring I am sure.
Best Wishes and Many Thanks,
Josy (and Ann of course)

"Ny in a remote cottage"
From the start to finish, our trip to the cottage was a pleasure. Josy, the owner, was honest, accommodating and even offered to let us delay our stay by a day as one of our party was ill the day we were supposed to arrive.
The cottage is very remote, which for us was perfect. Miles of rolling countryside and just a short walk to the coast made for some beautiful scenery. The villa is attached to a larger building, but they are totally individually accessed. Inside it is a cosy, pleasant place with a nice wood burner in the living room and joining on to a large kitchen diner. The rooms have everything you need, and were comfortable.
We had an amazing NY week in the cottage, I would definitely return and recommend to my friends.
Cheers Josy!

Hi Brett,
Happy New Year to you all! Ann and I are so pleased that you had such a good New Year in Hafod Villa. Your initial concerns that you may be too noisy for the neighbours - with only a few sheep or cows to worry about I don't think that was a problem after all. It seems you thoroughly enjoyed our beautiful scenery too. Hopefully we shall see you again in the not too distant future as each season has it's own secrets and delights.

"Lovely cottage in stunning location"
A superb find. The cottage is in a stunning location and has everything you could want. A huge eat in kitchen and a lovely wood burning stove in the sitting room. There was plenty of hot water and a useful boot room / conservatory that was useful for the dogs and childrens wellies. I would imagine the garden is lovely in the summer too and a great place to relax. The owner is extremely nice band very accommodating I am hoping to book Haford Grove next for my 40th Birthday.

"Great Break"
Two humans and three Golden Retrievers had a lovely relaxing stay at Hafod Villa. The weather forecast was terrible, each evening we listened and thought tomorrow we will just batton down the hatches and relax with a good book in front of the cosy log burner. As it turned out all the rotten weather was overnight, with lots of day time sun and breeze along the coast to enjoy our days walking on Poppit and Newport Beaches as well as exploring the coast line and a little inland. Disappointing no seal pups to be found.
Our first stay in a holiday cottage and from this experience will definitely do again. I've just read (again) the first three previous reviews and can only write I agree with all that was said and feel no need to rewrite in my own words. Laziness on my part and also down to time restraints as normal life takes over from the peace and tranquility that was Moylegrove, Ceibwyr Bay and Hafod Villa.

"A Little Peace of Heaven !"
We recently stayed at Hafod Villa for a week with our three dogs in tow. Although the weather was a little mixed, the charming place, peaceful suroundings and lovely comfortable accommodation more than made up for it. The house was spotlessly clean and exactly as described. A huge kitchen which was a delight to be in, every possible thing you could need in cutlery and china, a chest freezer too which was great to be able to stock up on foods to last through the week. We were greeted by the lady from next door who looks after the property and treated to one of her delicious home made cakes, a warm welcome of the very best. There are huge lawned areas for the dogs to enjoy and its perfectly safe for them to run free. Children would also enjoy playing in the garden too.
The roads to reach the property are very narrow and need careful naviagtion but you will soon get used to them. There are many places of interest nearby, one in particular we enjoyed was the Hill Fort. Aberporth has a lovely little beach,and the town of Cardigan is great to mooch around and do food shopping. All is all we had a very enjoyable time and would recommend the property to others who want a secluded break in the countryside, but are not too far from both the sea and towns. Mobile phone signals are a bit patchy, as was the internet but there is life without a computer !!! We are looking forward to staying there again in the not too distant future.

"wonderful relaxing holiday - Great for Dogs"
This is a lovely clean spacious cottage, with a large dog friendly garden that our two dogs adored; with walks from the doorstep and dog friendly beaches a short drive away. Loved the cosy sitting room and the large bright kitchen/diner. The sun room was a real bonus, great for sitting in and excellent for wet doggies! It was very peaceful. Although my two sons (aged 21 and 19)were a bit disappointed with the internet (kept dropping out or running very, very slowly and you couldn't do anything about it because the main internet box is situated in the house next door). Because of this I wouldn't recommend it as a holiday for people who feel that they can't survive without the internet for a week! Having said that, my two boys say they would go again. In total there were six adults in our party, aged between 81 (mother-in-law) and 18 and everyone of them enjoyed
their holiday. Would definately go again

"Great place to stay with your dogs"
This was our second visit to Hafod Villa with our three dogs, we arrived in the rain but that didn't stop the dogs racing around the huge garden as soon as they arrived. The conservatory is great for muddy and sandy paws, lino'd floor, perfect, can just be mopped clean. The rest of the house was as we remembered, large kitchen and dining room and useful utility room for all the doggy stuff.Comfy sitting room, and the four poster bed is a real treat. The local beaches are a short drive, dog friendly all year and masses of room for walking the dogs. Ours loved it. Lots of dog friendly pubs too, so definately ticks the boxes if you are looking for a location that is truly dog friendly.

"A clean, cosy and inviting cottage."
Our only concern when renting Hafod Villa was that it was attached to another property (Hafod Grove) but despite this it still felt very private and secluded, having wooden fencing, trees and shrubs dividing the properties. The garden was a joy as we took our 3 dogs with us, and we were happy to see that other dog owners who had used the cottage had kept the garden clean.
Having been to several other dog-friendly cottages in Pembrokeshire we found this to be the best maintained inside and out.
Most of our days were spent out in the beautiful countryside and our evenings by the warm fire. There's lots of information at the cottage about days out and also the owner sends out a comprehensive information sheet at booking.
Josy (the cottage owner) is really approachable and helpful as was Mrs Evans whom we only met briefly.
I would certainly recommend a stay here.

"Isolated, dog friendly retreat."
Lovely peaceful location, plenty of space, certainly dog friendly.
There's a fantastic little bay nearby and plenty of places to walk to in the area.
There's nothing too fancy about the house in terms of decoration, so it's just right if you want a fuss-free place to take the family where you won't need to worry about.
We'd certainly recommend it.

"Fabulous Dog Friendly Place to Stay"
We have just returned from a relaxing week at Hafod Villa with our three English Pointers. The huge garden was fabulous for them to run around in, and the conservatory perfect for making sure paws were clean before going inside. Great spacious house, and the four poster bed a real treat. Massive beaches ten minutes away, and both dog friendly all year. We all loved it.

"Comfortable getaway"
As we have 2 dogs we were trying to find a place with a big enough garden close to some sandy beaches.Hafod Villa is a cosy getaway from it all.You will need to have a car as the local shop are either Cardigan (big tescos) or a small spar shop in Newport. However anne who manages the place lives just down on the farm and was there if we needed anything.
The house is an old house but comfortably furnished and we liked nothing more than the woodburning fire after a long walk on the beach.
The kitchen is well furnished and I loved the 4 poster bed!
There are plenty of beaches nearby one is only a mile away but this is mostly shingle. We drove to Newport or Poppitt Sands which was massive beach.
We felt really relaxed at the end of our stay and will be going back again next year!

"A great 'getaway from it all' cottage."
A nice cottage, surrounded by farmland. Barely a car passes the road,so very safe. and in a beautiful part of the UK.
This cottage is spacious, comfy, and has a lovely large garden, great for dogs and children to run around in.
There are so many lovely places to visit in this part of Wales. Nice beaches, old churches, beautiful scenery,and good walks for the doggie owners among us.
I would recommend for couples, families and dog owners alike.

"Great family fun"
We hire Hafod house and cottage for a week every June. Our extended family of brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles and cousins all come along and we range in age from toddlers to pensioners (not that the 60 plus team regards themselves as such!). The house is perfect for our needs as it has plenty of indoor and out door space, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. We have such happy memories of 'our Wales house' and the week is never long enough to do, see and say everything we want to. We always leave planning, and looking forward to, the next visit.

Between 1674 and 1680 the central figure in New York was Governor Edmund Andros. During these years he ruled with an autocratic manner. His recall to England in 1680, surrounded by charges of malfeasance, corruption, and favoritism, was the central drama of this period. His downfall illuminates many aspects of his administration. In particular it reveals the intrusion of powerful external agents of change. The entry of London merchants into the closed market created by the New York merchants was an economic and political event. Until the new merchants arrived the only external figure of major political importance was the duke. With the entry of this new group the colonists were made aware of powerful forces at work within the empire. In addition the Stuart government was now intent on exerting more control over the colonies. Colonial charters were challenged and investigators sent to the colonies to examine economic and political trends. An era of intense reexamination was underway that would reach a climax with the creation of the Dominion of New England in 1685.
After 1675 New York's economy underwent dramatic changes. The familiar patterns of New York trade were explained by Andros in a report he submitted to the Lords of Trade and Plantations in 1678. 1 He described New York City as the center of all trade with ten to fifteen ships of about one hundred tons entering the harbor annually; Albany and Southampton were the only other places of consequence. The chief exports were wheat, peas, beef, pork, fish, whale oil, tobacco, beaver pelts, wood products, and horses. Most of these items

The John Lewis Partnership is noticeably different to other successful retailers. The 76,500 people who work for us are called Partners and their happiness is at the centre of everything we do. They – we – own the John Lewis Partnership.
The John Lewis Partnership is noticeably different to other successful retailers. The 76,500 people who work for us are called Partners and their happiness is at the centre of everything we do. They – we – own the John Lewis Partnership. And it's a big partnership: 32 John Lewis shops (28 department stores and four John Lewis at home outlets), 255 Waitrose supermarkets, an online and catalogue business, a production unit and a farm that last year turned over a staggering £38.2 billion.
Our founder, John Spedan Lewis, set up the Partnership in 1928. A year later we – the Partners – starting sharing the profits. In 1950 John completed the move towards employee-ownership by transferring control of the business to us. We have owned it ever since, all 76,500 of us.
Our culture is therefore uniquely empowering, driven by a strong sense of fairness and business purpose. A special governance system is laid out in our Constitution. It's commercial: we stay ahead in terms of price and quality in a very competitive industry. It's democratic: we all have a voice in the business we co-own. And it's flexible: we all enjoy the right to request flexible working.
Our unique combination of commercial acumen and corporate conscience, so ahead of its time, won us 'Retailer of the Year' at the Oracle Retail Week Awards 2011. The judges were particularly impressed with our multi-channel operations and at home format, as well as with our Waitrose convenience stores and the new partnerships we've formed with retailers like Boots.
In the Working Mums Awards 2010, we won the Employee Engagement category for the way we constantly consult one another regarding the business, and for everything we do to make working parents' lives easier.
Employing working mothers who fully support our Partnership's Principles, we base our relationships on mutual respect and courtesy, and encourage as much equality as differences of responsibility will allow. We'll recognise your contribution and reward it fairly, whatever your working hours, location or job level.
Because your ambitions change as you do, we let you drive your own career progress. The development tools and support are here when we want them. Our Horizons programme is multi-channelled because everyone learns in different ways – the more flexible it is, the more you'll want to use it.
Regarding flexibility, there are plenty of Partners who have joined us in one role, then used our development tools to change direction, ascend the career ladder, take a break and return to a more flexible role that lets them balance their lifestyle. Increasing your hours or securing that next promotion can then be done at a pace that feels right for you.
Our annual bonus is famous: we distribute a proportion of our profits equally among us as a percentage of salary. It was 18% in 2011.
But this is only part of it. We have always believed that there should be more to a job than just work and play so we have the large company benefits you'd expect: paid holidays, pension, childcare vouchers, life assurance and discounts on goods and so on. But there are others that make us really stand out from the crowd:
Partnership holiday centres – We own an exclusive selection of hotels, lodges and caravans. Some are set in the most beautiful places and all are subsidised, making them amazing value. Gorge walking, archery, whitewater rafting, seaside fun in your own castle, relaxed country club breaks, self-catering, exploring national parks or just doing whatever takes your fancy, there's something for you and for loved ones.
Leisure events – We subsidise special events that bring Partners together. These include:
So whether you want to thrill the family at Thorpe Park, enjoy a VIP weekend in a 4 star hotel or join in the fun at a country fair, there's something for you.
Partner choice – A whole book of specially negotiated discounts and offers for Partners and their families – everything from discounts on gym membership to hotel stays, cinema tickets and health plans.
Corporate membership – We're corporate members of organisations such as The National Trust, English Heritage and Eden Project, so you and up to three others can enjoy free entry.
Leisure learning – Thinking of signing up for some aerobics sessions, spending a term brushing up on your Spanish or taking windsurfing lessons in Greece? You can claim half the cost of your chosen leisure course, up to £250 a year.
The John Lewis Partnership have a wide range of vacancies available in both head office functions and within our stores throughout the UK, with many options for working hours. Please see the following link to search our current opportunities: www.jlpjobs.com.
Louisa Hazlehurst is a mother of three and a Recruitment Co-ordinator at John Lewis Sheffield, where she works part time on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays.
I was lucky to become an 'acquired' Partner when Waitrose bought Safeway in 2004, and I stayed on as a part timer. In 2007, I went on maternity leave to have my third child and when I returned nine months later, I started a new role at John Lewis Sheffield. I worked weekends in Gift List and now I work three full days in Personnel. I know, from speaking to friends with young children, that finding a fulfilling part-time job – especially one that develops your career – is rare. I'm lucky to have been offered hours that give me a perfect work/life balance. Even if I'm asked to work late, I'll be given plenty of notice. What has become apparent in my role as a Recruitment Co-ordinator is just how important part-time workers are to the business. When we recruited our Christmas temps we had a lot of part-time applicants who wanted to work weekends and late nights – which can be difficult to cover – so they're very valuable.
Kay Lane is an accountant when she's not a Food Service Partner at Waitrose Witney. She works part time for the Partnership on alternate Saturdays and Sundays.
I originally started at Waitrose as a trainee straight from school and worked my way up the ladder. After having my two children I returned to Waitrose part time in the evening. When I decided to study for an Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) qualification, Waitrose was very flexible, allowing me to change my hours to suit my course. I then got offered a full-time job in accountancy but told them I didn't want to leave Waitrose! So the firm took me on four days a week, meaning I could work alternate weekends at Waitrose and still have a day off in the week. I really love the flexibility of my various roles: the accuracy of accountancy and my lovely customers at Waitrose who tell me I can't possibly leave! The discount card and all the other benefits make it worthwhile and I pay all my Waitrose wages into my pension fund. It's the perfect work/work balance and I'm doing all the things that make me happy.

I'm building a personal movie database - this plugin is working awesomely for me and I'm having a lot of fun playing around with it.
Here's my question:
I've set it up so that I can assign a "strength of performance" indicator to a particular actor in a particular movie (using 'fields' where I've defined the movies-to-actors relationship in functions.php). I want to be able to see that Michael Caine was really good in Batman Begins, but not so great in Jaws 4, or whatever.
I initially set it up to have two values: "great", and "same-old". However, in a movie like "Harry Potter" where there are a gazillion actors, it gets tedious setting most of them to "same-old". Is there a way to make a custom field default to a certain value unless I specify otherwise?
I'm not super-strong on PHP, and I've played around a little trying to get it to work, but with no luck.
Any ideas?

The following chapters, which form Part III of this book, are concerned with the broad possibilities for and the directions of change in the suburban land conversion process. They present neither a detailed plan nor a program for legislation or other action, public or private. A basic assumption is that substantial improvement in suburban land conversion is both urgently necessary and possible. The major problem is to agree on policy issues and directions for change. If agreement can be reached on these points, then specific steps can be taken, though they may be farreaching and difficult.
As noted in the opening pages of this book and many times since, the primary focus here is on land use at the expanding edge of the city -- its suburbs -- the process, actors, and results of the process. Of necessity some attention is given to the problems of the city as well as its suburbs. But the suburbs are an important part of the city, land use is an important part of suburban growth and change, and the process of suburban land conversion is significant in its own right.
The primary concern in Part III is to outline ways in which the process of land conversion at the suburban growing edge of the city might be different in the future in order to remedy or to reduce some of the shortcomings of the process and to produce results which seem more desirable for society. Consideration of this central topic involves getting into problems of urban renewal in the older city, for what is done there -- or not done -- greatly affects the demand for land in the suburbs. Likewise there is some discussion of poverty, for a great deal of suburban land conversion has rested, directly or indirectly, on the inability of the poor to afford new housing or good housing in good neighborhoods. And the possibilities for reorganization of local government are considered, since efforts to reshape suburban land conversion will quickly come up against the deficiencies of local government as an enabling mechanism. All of these forces, and others discussed in these chapters, will help to shape the future of the suburbs which are now so important a part of American life.

In this Episode of the Complete Picture I demonstrate some basic compositing techniques in Photoshop, used to illustrate the feeling and mood of Iceland.

The video below provides a more detailed Photoshop tutorial demonstrating how "Twilight" was created.
For more complete training on how I use Photoshop to create these composites, you can watch either of my two training series on Lynda.com:
Introduction to Compositing
The Art of Photoshop Compositing
When drawing with the default gradient in a mask, if the mask isn't quite right, it's easy to draw another gradient to replace the first one.
If, however, you want to draw a secondary gradient that will add to or subtract from the mask (instead of replacing it), change the blend mode for the Gradient tool to Multiply (to add black) or Screen (to add white) and then drag the second gradient.
Note: in the example above, I selected Edit > Undo to undo the gradient that drew in the second illustration before changing the blend mode to Screen and redrawing the gradient.
Of course there are other ways to draw masks, but I find this to be straightforward. Plus if you use the radial gradient you can create a cool looking "bubble mask" by drawing multiple black to white radial gradients with the Gradient tool's blend mode set to Darken – although I've never actually used a bubble mask like this for anything useful – but I'm sure that someone has!
When selecting Live Shape layers, the Properties panel now displays the Live Shape properties by default (instead of the mask properties). Use the icons at the top of the Properties panel to toggle between the Live Shape and Masks properties.
Option -click (Mac) | Alt -click (Win) on the Quick Mask icon to invert the selection when entering Quick Mask mode.
There are a number of different techniques for displaying a photograph within type or other graphics. In this quick tip, you'll learn how to apply a clipping mask to a layer group enabling you to mask multiple layers at once while keeping the type, the graphics and the photograph re-editable.
If a section of a mask isn't quite correct, try using the Dodge or Burn tool in the mask to subtly adjust the edge (by lightening or darkening the grayscale values within the transitional area). In this example, the original mask is too soft and as a result, we can see a green halo around the edge of the leaf.
Looking at the original mask, we can see that the edge of the mask needs to be reduced in width as well as shifted towards the edge of the leaf. Note: This is also known as "choking" the mask. Moving in the other direction would be "spreading" the mask.
Using the Burn tool on the mask's edge, darkens the values in the transitional areas of the mask, narrowing the transitional area and moving the mask in towards the leaf. (I realize that the change is subtle in this illustration, but notice how the edge of the mask in the illustration below appears sharper than in the illustration above.)
As a result of choking the mask, the green halo is removed from around the edge of the leaf.
Lex and Bryan asked me to do a guest appearance on the Photoshop Playbook series, so here's How to Mask Video to Create Special Effects.
Now let's go make something fun! : )
I'm really excited to announce that my new class: The Art of Photoshop Compositing is now live on www.lynda.com!
"Join Julieanne Kost as she walks you through her creative thought process and explains how she transforms concepts and raw images into entirely new works of art using Adobe Photoshop. Discover how to select the images you need to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Master the tools used in compositing, including adjustment layers, masking, blending, and Smart Objects, so that the technology doesn't get in the way of expressing your creative vision. Learn how to adjust scale and perspective and manipulate texture and focus to help viewers temporarily suspend their disbelief long enough to enter your world."
Topics include:
I look forward to hearing your feedback!
When painting with the Adjustment Brush in the Develop Module in Lightroom, tap the "O" key to Show/Hide Mask Overlay. Add the Shift key to cycle the mask overlay colors (red, green and white). Displaying the mask overlay can make it much easier to see areas the areas that are included/excluded from the adjustment in order to make refinements to the mask.

Focus Stacking Panoramas
I've combined two techniques: focus stacking and stitching panoramas using Photoshop CS6. The original attempt, for a 50-image panorama, took 50 minutes to run. Along the way found a shortcut that cut the time down to 10 minutes.
My camera has a touch screen that can be used to focus and take pictures. This was utilized for focus stacking. I just touched the places I wanted to be in focus, then repositioned the camera to the next place in the panorama. Painting with light!
