With an English grandmother and governesses hired from London, the noble if faded clan of the Brandiforti of Catania know a bit about those other islanders who, just like Sicilians, refer to European mainlanders as "continentals". And what they learn is that the proud English imagine themselves free if, like horses in a paddock, you secure them with a long enough tether. That image, from Goliarda Sapienza's newly-translated masterwork The Art of Joy, came back to me when I looked up the – so far – sniffy, blasé and even frightened responses over here to this quite extraordinary novel.
Get money off this title at the Independent bookshop
Sapienza was born in 1924 to a family of rule-busting Sicilian revolutionaries. She became an actress on stage and screen and a stalwart of the Neo-Realist movement in Rome before turning to fiction. And she sacrificed almost everything for The Art of Joy: comfort, reputation, respectability. Written between 1967 and 1976, her close-focus epic of 20th-century Sicily, as viewed through the liberated life of her protagonist Modesta, not only failed to find a publisher. Its sexual frankness brought career-ending accusations of obscenity and immorality. These curses, remember, struck her in the Italy not of the Fascist 1930s but the supposedly anything-goes 1970s. Anything did not go for women: "always part of the opposition", as Modesta says.
Sapienza died in 1996. Two years later, her husband Angelo Pellegrino published The Art of Joy at his own expense. Shocked silence greeted it. A few years after, however, a French edition won warm praise. Now, thanks to translator Anne Milano Appel and Penguin Classics (£25 for the hefty hardback; £14.99 for the holiday-friendly e-book), Mody's transgressive adventures have reached this other island. Forget the Cuckoo and its over-amplified Calling. For me, this is the publishing event of the summer.
Born in 1900 (you might even see the book as a distaff-side counterpart to Bernardo Bertolucci's film chronicle Novecento), Modesta escapes poverty, ignorance and a stifling convent's walls via marriage into the enervated Brandiforti. Now a princess, but always a passionate lover of women and men alike, a free spirit and "heretic", she exploits rank and role to pursue rebellion on every front. A parade of intensely dramatic scenes (Sapienza's background never feels far away) show us Modesta at successive stages of her, and Sicily's, life: from the Great War and the breakdown of a feudal order to Fascist rule and Communist resistance to it, Hitler's war, the American invasion, postwar affluence.
It's not always the easiest plot to follow. Lovers, children, step- and half-siblings proliferate and intertwine. A family tree or cast-list would have helped as well as the translator's notes. For all her mystical invocations of Sicily and its "powerful, secret physical body", Sapienza sets scenes and sketches background very sparingly. High-voltage encounters, erotic and intellectual (often both), command her stage; several chapters are set as dialogue alone. Even if readers now will have few problems with her pan-sexual voraciousness, Mody's taboo-smashing chutzpah can still make jaws drop. She is a feminist, anarchist, bisexual Scarlett O'Hara in Catania (Gone With the Wind does spring to mind) and Lady Chatterley in the sun-caressed Med (a convent gardener has a big part). Sapienza may root for the headstrong heroine, but she refuses to airbrush her faults. Mody can be (in every sense) a total mare. Meanwhile, read the novel as a radical riposte to the nostalgia of Lampedusa's Sicilian elegy, The Leopard.
As errant, excessive and irresistible as the woman at its heart, The Art of Joy more than lives up to the title. Modesta's "intense feeling for life" overcomes whatever obstacles the ideologies of "sorrow, humiliation and fear" can throw at her as she embraces "life's fluidity". Don't be that fettered horse, but join her as she gallops through all the passions of history.
Lost keys, red faces: one for the No 10 Nanny?
Let no one say that literature has no effect on real life. According to David Brown of the London Fire Brigade, handcuff-related call-outs have soared since frisky readers shackled EL James's SM-lite trilogy to the bestseller charts. Mr Brown, who clearly knows how to lob a headline to the hacks, noted that the tied-up callers would turn 50 shades of red when his crews arrived. Given this proof of grave social harm by EL James, Nanny Cameron should surely make a speech with plans to block her e-books from the net.
After Shaw: a Wagnerite economist
Blissed out as ever by Tristan and Isolde, I came back from the Proms last Saturday and searched for instant reactions to conductor Semyon Bychkov's concert version (with Robert Dean Smith and Violeta Urmana as Wagner's ecstatically expiring lovers). Via his tweets, I discovered that none other than Paul Mason – Newsnight's economics guru – agreed with me about a highlight of the night: the terrific singing of Japanese mezzo-soprano Mihoko Fujimura as Isolde's maid, Brangäne. A radical economist as dedicated Wagner buff? In fact, there's a distinguished pedigree behind Mason. In 1898, George Bernard Shaw published The Perfect Wagnerite: his virtuoso anti-capitalist reading of the Ring cycle. I shall look forward to Mason's Newsnight analysis of Tristan as an allegory of early-medieval trade wars between Cornwall and Ireland.

Los Angeles, CA (PressExposure) August 31, 2011 -- With her book "Intimate Wisdom: The Sacred Art of Love", Karinna Kittles-Karsten explores the deeper dynamics and dimensions of passionate, intimate and meaningful relationships. "The quality of our intimate relationships is determined by what we bring of ourselves to our relationships, who we choose as our partner, how we connect with our loved one, and how we demonstrate our love time and time again," Karinna Kittles-Karsten said in her book.
Drawing from her own life experiences, global studies and exploration, Ms. Kittles-Karsten wrote a guide that aims to help its readers along a sacred love adventure. Every great relationship has to cultivate an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual connection. This book reveals all the secrets one needs in order to create a rich and fulfilling relationship. This booked is packed with Eastern and Western love and relationship secrets. After years of studying the art of intimacy from ancient cultures and western psychology, Ms. Kittles-Karsten wrote about the journey of finding true love within oneself and boosting one's positive energy to attract right alignment in love. She believes that it takes real courage to create a positive, healthy, thriving relationship.
Intimate Wisdom includes three parts: The Sacred Lover, The Talent of Loving Another and The Art of Sacred Love-Making. Each of these parts offers step by step intimacy wisdom and love inspiration as well as specific exercises designed to help readers create better intimacy and a better love life. The books is intended for people seeking to find true love as well as couples wanting to build an even more romantic and happy relationship. The exercises in Part One of the book can be practiced alone or with their partners while the rest of the exercises in the latter parts of the book are intended to be practiced with a partner.
In the latter parts, partners will learn secrets and develop talents that will help them build a stronger relationship. Readers will learn how to claim the courage to love, build a trustworthy relationship, commit to great love, become a great lover, cultivate sexual respect and enjoy a deeper relationship with sexual pleasure. "Intimate Wisdom is uplifting, sensual, and inspiring," said Christiane Northrup, MD, author of The Wisdom of Menopause and Mother-Daughter Wisdom.
Karinna Kittles-Karsten is an internationally recognized speaker, author, and the founder of Sacred Love, Inc., an innovative Los Angeles-based love lifestyle company. Karinna has spent her life exploring ancient and contemporary philosophies on love and intimacy.

Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said the $3 trillion-plus budget President Obama unveiled today is unacceptable to middle-class families and small businesses that are cutting back and looking for the nation's capital to do the same.
"We cannot tax and spend our way out of this economic crisis," Hatch said. "Washington needs to tighten its fiscal belt, rein in the runaway federal deficit and bring real relief to Americans struggling to make ends meet, pay their mortgages and keep their jobs. Unfortunately, this reckless budget will swamp Americans in a morass of debt and mortgage the future of our children and grandchildren."
Hatch noted the debt Americans must repay for the Democrats' spending during the last month alone is equal to the debt the nation tallied from 1789 to 1978. He further took exception to the massive proposed tax increases in the budget on U.S. businesses, which would be passed on to consumers and workers - the very people the president is claiming to want to help most with this budget.
"Raising taxes during a serious recession makes about as much sense as giving a diabetic a box of chocolates." Hatch said. "Herbert Hoover raised taxes during a serious recession and it led to record unemployment and the Great Depression. History need not repeat itself if we pay heed to history."
The budget deficit for fiscal year 2009 is now estimated at $1.7 trillion. The president's spending proposals would double nation's total debt over the next five years. While the president projects to cut the one-year deficit in 2013 to $533 billion, Hatch noted, that still amounts to the worst deficit in our nation's history before this year.
Hatch also took aim at the administration's proposal to hike taxes on American businesses, the very entities that save and create permanent jobs, by a whopping $1.63 trillion over 10 years.
"This budget declares war on American jobs and on the ability of American businesses to save and create them," Hatch warned.
For example, the senator pointed out the administration's plans to levy a $646 billion tax on American business over a decade - the largest single tax increase in world history. Listed as "Climate Revenues" in the president's plan, Hatch pointed out, this job-killing idea boosters are calling "cap-and-trade auction" could put a chill on any hope of economic recovery.
"For the first time ever, we are poised on the precipice of taxing the industrial output of the United States," the senator continued. "Democrats say that is fine because the proceeds from this tax will go to compensate the public.' How are we going to compensate the hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of workers employed by these industries when they lose their jobs because their companies can no longer compete as a result of this new tax?"
Equally egregious, Hatch added, is the provision in the plan to create a 10-year, $634 billion "reserve fund" to be used as a down payment on the Europeanization of U.S. health care - an overhaul that could cost as much as $1 trillion over 10 years and would be financed, in part, by reducing payments to insurers, hospitals and physicians and reductions to Medicare Advantage plans.
"We have already spent more than $200 billion on health care in the Children Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and stimulus bills combined, and there's another $200 billion for health care in the Omnibus spending bill," Hatch said. "We need to ask ourselves a simple question: How big is this down payment and what will be the final cost? And we need a straight answer to those questions.
"Words matter, especially when they are from the leader of the free world" the senator added. "Despite the president's incessant promises of bipartisanship and fiscal responsibility, he is proposing to spend still more taxpayer dollars at an astounding rate. That is unacceptable. I look forward to joining with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to craft meaningful and fiscally responsible reform legislation."

Homeopathy is a natural and effective scientific system of mind-body-spirit integrative healing. It is the second largest form of medicine in the world and suitable for everyone, including babies. Treatment is tailored to the individual and can be used alongside conventional medicine when necessary to give an integrated approach to healthcare.
The Whole Person Centered Approach
Since homeopathy is used to treat people rather than illnesses, anyone, whatever their diagnosis, can benefit from homeopathic treatment. Homeopathy can be used to support conventional treatments for a wide variety of acute and chronic problems including emotional mental conditions, infectious disease, allergies, gynecological difficulties, digestive problems, and so on. It also helps to prevent future trouble by increasing the individual's strength and resistance.
The Consultation Process
The consultation involves an interview in which the data of physical, mental and emotional symptoms along with medical history is collected. Important indicators of general health, like the level of vitality a person experiences, stress factors, and his or her emotional well-being, along with specific physical symptoms, demand close attention
The approach recognizes the unique way each person reacts to illness as an expression of disharmony at the vital force level (energy level). Physical as well as mental and emotional signs and symptoms of disease, specific to each person, are recognized as attempts on the part of the body to heal itself. These signs and symptoms manifest themselves because the body has been unable to restore balance from its inner resources and needs help
The data is then analyzed and evaluated to understand the essence of the imbalanced state of the individual. This process leads the homeopath to finding a specific remedy which best corresponds to that person's total state.
Homeopathy works by enhancing the body's natural ability to heal itself. A single, carefully chosen homeopathic remedy offers the help needed to restore a state of balance and wellbeing.

There are over 2500 homeopathic remedies and they come from a wide variety of sources such as plants, minerals and animals and other naturally-occurring substances. They are prepared via a unique, highly controlled process of dilution, which renders them non-toxic yet, paradoxically, more effective
Homeopathy does have its limitations: advanced organic pathology, like severe heart disease or crippling arthritis, involves changes in the structure of the body that can rarely be reversed. Those who suffer from such conditions however, are often helped to become stronger and more comfortable with homeopathy. Surgery may be required for conditions like appendicitis, hernias, or ectopic pregnancies; acupuncture or manipulative therapies may be recommended for certain musculoskeletal conditions; psychotherapy for emotional stress and so on.
Finally, homeopathy must not be seen as a substitute for good health habits. In the long run health depends in good measure on eating well and exercising adequately, getting enough rest, dealing effectively with stress, and living creatively and compassionately.

You have great taste in names! Annabelle is beautiful, first off, and I like your whole list.
For you I'm feeling Evangeline Faith. I think it goes well with Annabelle, and there are lots of beautiful nicknames if that's something you're looking for (Eva, Angie, Angelina, Lina, etc.). I like the other names on your list too, but this seems to complement Annabelle the best, while still keeping IMO some of what you and DH like about Olivia and Lydia.
good luck, I can't wait to hear what you decide!

As the holidays approach and you scramble for that last-minute holiday gift, take a look at us, LSTN Sound Co. - the gift that gives back. For the music lover, LSTN headphones and speakers are made of real wood creating a unique and authentic look while delivering your favorite music in full spectrum sound.
"The sustainable wood exterior not only makes these headphones eye catching, but it also improves the sound quality" - Jeff Catel, Greatist
But we don't stop there! Apart from the outstanding sound and design, your purchase is giving back to the world. By partnering with Starkey Hearing Foundation, every purchase helps restore hearing to a person in need. To date, we have helped over 20,000 people and we are just getting started!
With "great sound, a sophisticated look, and the support of a great cause," go beyond giving to your family and friends, and give someone the gift of hearing this holiday season with LSTN.
In the past we have been highly recognized as a great holiday gift and the 2015 holiday season will be no different. We have recently introduced several new products for the holiday season.
LSTN's Satellite speaker is small enough to take to the office on a daily basis, and with its 10 hours of battery life the party never stops. It also has a built-in microphone so you can take calls anytime and never miss a beat. This is the perfect portable Bluetooth speaker for those on the go.
Our smallest earbuds designed for the fitness-minded individual. The biggest difference between these and our fan favorite Bowery earbuds is that these come with a rubber cable with microphone vs the nylon cable of Bowery fame. Combined with the attractive $29.99 price and signature LSTN sound quality, these might just become your new best friend.
We have reissued and revamped our glorious amplifier necklace to now be fully functional as a 1/4" adaptor. We also recently teamed up with Woodchuck USA on wood journals and flasks. Head to the merch store now to see all the new LSTN apparel from t-shirts to beanies and more.

"We should stay here for another night than I'll take you to my fathers." I smile at James like he is a friend I haven't seen in years. He nods and smiles back.
"What's up with the whole family thing? You are distant when you talk about them." As soon as he says that my smile fades. "My family just don't get on with anyone. Not even ourselves. We prefer to be left alone. The less contact with others, the better." I say, my voice weak.
James looks at me. "You prefer to be left alone too?" I smile slightly.
"I don't know. I've been bourght up thinking work is all that matters, nothing else, no one else, matters but I used to know someone who changed that." My smile streches as I think of John.
I shake my head, banishing my memories. "That was then. This is now. This is my new start. No more living in the past." I say, more to myself then to James.
I smile at him. "I would like you to come with me, to your fathers I mean." I shake my head slightly and sigh. "Okay, I will. But if I'm not there one morning don't be surprised. Oh, by the way, the house is kind of my fathers lab. So don't touch anything and don't ask about it." I inform him.
He looks a little confused and I laugh.
"Don't worry, I'll remind you when we get there tomorrow."
My phone starts ringing, making me and James jump. I look at it confused, withheld number. "Sorry 'bout this." I mutter and press the green button.
"Hello?" I ask down the phone.
"May, remember me?"
I open my mouth to reply but nothing comes out. Saying I'm shocked is an understatment.
"Say the word and I'll be wherever you are in seconds, I want to take you to the ball..." Before he could carry on I finally find my voice.
"The ball?"
He chuckles and then the phone goes dead.
I stare at it for a while.
"Mayen are you okay? Who was it?" James asks bringing me back to the present.
"An old friend." I mutter, a confused look on my face. What did he mean by 'I want to take you to the ball' ?
I look down at my baggy T-shirt and short shorts. I shake my head, no way am I going to any ball.
I sit down on the bed next to James and rest my head on his shoulder. I close my eyes while I think. No way he could of been serious, I mean, I haven't talked to him in ages. Why would he take me to a ball?
"If I was you, I would get away from May!" I jump and open my eyes to see John, who I was just on the phone to.
"John? What are you..?" I start but James cuts in.
"And what makes you think I'll do what you say?"
John smiles a little, he always liked to get under peoples skin.
"Do you know who you are talking to?" John takes a step forward and James gets to his feet.
"Do you?"
I jump inbetween both of them. "Oi! You two back off! James, you shouldn't even be looking for a fight in the condition you're in! And John how the hell did you get in here?" I'm not yelling but I'm close too.
James sits back on the bed, scowling at John. John just smiles and looks at me. "I got in with this baby." He lifted up a key and I roll my eyes. I'm having enough of all these keys that open doors thingys!
"Anyway, you are coming with me to the ball. Put on that dress blue dress you wore last time we went dancing." He leans up against the bed post. I scowl at him, fists balled.
I open my mouth to tell him where he can fucking stuff it when someone knocks at the door. No one moves. Someone knocks again, this time more fiercly.
"Mayen Blue open this door now!" My blood runs cold as I hear her voice. I swallow deeply, my sapphire eyes widening. "No." I mutter and shake my head. "No. I thought I got away from her."
"Mayen!" The threat is strong in my step mothers voice. I shake my head, tears coming to my eyes.

I couldn't see anything in the rain and wind; I simply had to hope for the best along the way. As Phineas, and a few moments later Baxter, entered, we waited. It was the longest 60 seconds of my life, staring at the door, expecting her to come through. When that minute was up, I pulled open the door, only to be stopped by the newest addition to our group.
"Let me get her," he yelled over the roar of the storm. "I'm sturdier than you!"
I shook my head and jerked out of his hold, running outside. I almost tripped over her; she was curled up on the sidewalk, her body keeping that damn cat safe while the wind and rain tore at her and froze her. I lifted her up and she tensed, keeping her body as still and solid as she could so I wouldn't drop her. I made it halfway there when I met Phineas. He had come out anyway, and I was beyond grateful as he put his hands on my back, helping push us into the building before the wind could tear us away. We collapsed in the doorway and Baxter helped pull us all the way in and untangle us, Genevieve still curled around her mewling cat. I didn't have the strength, so Baxter carried her while I led them all to the basement and then ran back up to grab our supplies. Thankfully, the only thing that had blown away was Kai's water dish he'd been holding.
"That was exciting," Genevieve said, shivering, as she used some old janitor's cloths off a cart to dry off Mav. "I'm so glad everyone's ok!"
"What happened?" Phineas asked. "Was the wind just too strong for you?"
She nodded while I wrapped a blanket around her. "I thought about just turning back and staying in the gym once it started pushing me back, but I was afraid you guys might come looking for me. Before I could decide, something hit me hard in the shoulder and I fell. I tried but I couldn't get back up, so I just curled up around Mav and hoped for the best. You idiots could have died!" she barked at us. "Next time just leave me! It's called natural selection!"
I shushed her and held her close, trying to warm her. Everything we had was soaked, even the blanket around her. I didn't know what we could do to get warm.
"We need to get out of our wet clothes," Phineas said, shivering. He peeled off his shirt and rung it out into Kai's empty surviving food dish. My poor dog whimpered and went to see what was in his bowl. "Waste not, want not," Phin said with a shrug. He started on his pants.
"Whoa, I think we need some ground rules," I said, standing up. "We can't just sit around here naked."
"Why not?" Baxter asked, following Phin's lead and pulling his shirt over his head. That guy was way too tan and muscular for someone from cold Toronto. I glanced at Genevieve, irritated to see her eyes were wide and looking them both over.
"Because. Because we should at least keep something on," I insisted, nudging her with my foot.
"We can keep our underpants on, but I'm ringing them out first," she said through chattering teeth. "Hold up this blanket."
I held up the blanket as ordered, and she stripped, piling her clothes in a dripping mass. "Could you ring out a spare pair and a sports bra for me?" she asked.
"I can't do that and hold the blanket," I said.
"I got it," Baxter said, holding them over the mop bucket and squeezing as much water out as possible. Then he shook them out and folded them neatly before handing them to her.
"Was that really necessary?" I demanded, glaring at him.
He just grinned and dropped his boxers, both him and Phineas wringing them out over the bucket.
Once she was as dry and dressed as possible for the moment, I stripped and wrung all my things out, stepping back into my boxers while she whistled.
"I think the tornado was worth it, since I get to see you lot almost naked," she said, grinning. "And totally naked," she added, raising her eyebrows at me. It would've been more amusing, perhaps, if she wasnt saying all this through chattering teeth.
I ignored her words and sat beside her on one of the floors few dry spots, wrapping her up in my arms. It didn't have much effect- we were both freezing. Phineas and Baxter were shivering, too, trying to wring out the blankets as much as possible.
"You know, we'd all be much warmer if we could get in on that group hug you're having," Phineas said, rubbing his arms pathetically.
"Sorry, couldn't hear you through the morse code from your teeth," I said coldly. "Why don't you and Baxter snuggle or something."
Genevieve ignored me and held out her arm, which was all the invitation they needed. Baxter was over in a flash, ducking under her arm and snaking one around her. Phineas was one step behind him. He threw his heavy arm over my shoulders and sighed. "What a nice way to get to know someone," he joked in my ear. Even Kai thought he was invited and sprawled out over my lap and hers.
We stayed like that for hours, dozing in and out, until we finally heard the wind die down. I elbowed Phineas off me and peeled away from Genevieve. She was passed out, Mav curled up beside her, Baxter keeping her warm. I decided not to murder him for now and headed up stairs to check.
The sky had almost cleared up completely, all the darkness was on the horizon, heading away. The town was another matter.
The damage I could see from here was astounding. The school buildings were mostly standing, along with a few houses around here and there, but the line of damage extended in a direction I did not want it to. Houses flattened, trees torn out of the ground, a Toyota sticking out of a church. I ran back to the basement to tell the others.
"I think our street was destroyed. The worst damage is done in a wide path heading that direction," I said, waking them all from their stupor.
"My gardens," Baxter moaned, his arms still around Genevieve.
"Our trip- all my clothes!" she gasped. "Oh, oh! The instruments!" She started crying and Baxter squeezed her.
'Knock it off!' I mouthed at him, walking toward them to take over. He just huffed and shrugged, but got up and let me take her.
"It's alright, everything is replaceable," I said, stroking her hair.
"But not the violins- there are only so many left! Thank goodness we only had two!"
"Come on, let's go check on the animals," I said, helping her up. We left Kai and Mav for the moment and walked back to the gym. There was debris everywhere; we had to be extra careful about broken glass.
We removed the broom from the door handles and looked in. There were feathers and excrement everywhere, but they all seemed fine. We left them and headed back outside to hunt down a working car.

This is the second time we have stayed here. It makes a perfect base for us while in New York visiting family and friends. The accommodation is ideal for a young family and the location is superb. Much more comfortable than a hotel, especially for an extended stay. A real find!
While we arrived on time but late in the evening (after 9pm) we were greeted with a very brief showing of the property and fresh flowers decorating the tables. Our first experience with the neighborhood was very positive, as the vegans in our party surfed and found a nearby place (Bar Bruno) which was perfect for our arrival dinner. Open late, a warm evening so we could sit outside, really tasty Mezcal margaritas and both vegan and meat dishes! After dinner we found that the beds were totally clean and comfortable, and the next morning found bagels nearby to go with the coffee machine and tea kettle output. Before we had arrived we were concerned about nearby food stores and shops, but found they were nearby and every type; a great wine shop (Scottos Wine Cellar), several bakeries (Monteleones warranted several visits), a fantastic sandwich shop (Court Street Grocers) and lots more. Kids, dogs, strollers, it was a really comfortable neighborhood. And when we were 'home' it was a very comfortable apartment. We would definitely stay again if we returned to Brooklyn.
Marion's apartment was better even than the pictures led us to expect. She herself met us at the top of the steps and let us in and gave us a tour, including instructions and local restaurant recommendations. Our week in Carroll Gardens couldn't have gone better with the possible exception of the heat and humidity-- but even that inconvenience was allayed each day by the welcome blast of AC when we'd return to our apartment! The location was perfect-- plenty of cafes, bars, markets and restaurants within walking distance. Add to that the nearby subway stops to get into Manhattan, making it the perfect place to stay. Thank you, Marion!
My sisters and I were awed by the loveliness and thoughtfulness of every aspect of Marion and Scott's beautiful home. It far surpassed our expectations in every way. We were in Brooklyn for a week to celebrate my son's wedding. There were four of us ladies and we found total ease and comfort in the beautiful living room, airy, bright kitchen and cozy, well-appointed bedrooms. Everything we needed--extra linens and towels, kitchen equipment and Fresh Flowers gracing the living spaces! Marion's niece gave us a warm welcome and made sure we understood keys and such. The information packet provided lots of detail on the home and surroundings. We whiled away the lazy afternoons with wine in the back garden. Every morning we switched on Pandora's French Cafe Radio station on the kitchen Bluetooth speaker--heaven! Being so close to Court and Smith streets mean that we had every option for shopping and dining. Marion was very congenial and responsive in all of our communications, making the entire process a pleasure. This is a supremely comfortable, sophisticated setting for anyone wanting to be "at home" on a beautiful residential street in Brooklyn. We are so grateful to have found it. Thank you!
Stop looking! You found the place to stay! The owners are helpful and accommodating. The house is breathtaking. The location is fantastic. Brooklyn is hip, Carroll Gardens has amazing restaurants and shops. This brownstone is close to the subway and NYC attractions. We stayed with another family and had plenty of room for everyone. The house is immaculate. Nearby is a CVS, Trader Joes and more Italian bakeries, groceries and restaurants than you can count on your fingers and toes. This is convenient and much more affordable than Manhattan. After a long day of being a tourist it was a godsend to return to this gem of a home in Carrol Gardens. My daughter fell ill while vacationing and Marion ( who was on her own get-away) took the time to help me navigate Urgent Care. ( only a block a way and fantastic doctors). Bonus is the lovely back yard and BBQ .So much fun watching New Yorkers head to work in the morning and walking everywhere within minutes. Great Bagels nearby for AM stroll to return home and breakfast with the family. THIS HOUSE IS A FOUR STAR....great bathrooms, fantastic kitchen, upstairs/downstairs ( kids can escape) and conveniently located as a gateway to NYC or Brooklyn Bridge. We will stay here again and again! BONUS- it was easy to get from La Guardia to this house via car service ( not expensive) and to Grand Central by Taxi.
We visited Brooklyn to cheer on a family member in the NY Marathon. This home could not have been more perfect for our family. We have two small children and Marion ensured that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay: books, toys, highchairs, crib, etc. The house was spotless, beds and linens were cozy, kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the backyard was the perfect place to relax and let the kids play.
We stayed local to Brooklyn for most of the trip, but getting to Manhattan was super easy with the train just a few blocks away. We would definitely stay here again on any future visits to the city.
Carroll Gardens ist ein charmantes, angesagten Viertel Brooklyn mit Boutiquen, ausgezeichneten Restaurants, lokalen italienischen Bäckereien und Feinkostläden gefüllt. Familienfreundlichen Umgebung mit Spielplätzen, Straßencafés und ruhige Straßen mit Bäumen. Nur 15 Minuten von Manhattan entfernt mit dem Taxi oder der U-Bahn.

Amazing Cinnamon Chip Scones {Best Basic Scone Recipe}
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know why I made these scones four times before being willing to post them.
Not that I have anything against blobby, spreading scones (they were terribly delicious), because I don't, but I wanted a foolproof and pretty recipe to give you, and it took a few tries to get the measurements just right.
Can we pause for a quick lecture about why a kitchen scale is so tremendously useful in the kitchen? It truly marks the line between experimental baking and no-fail recipes. I used to think only professional chefs, big baking nerds, or people with too much time on their hands had use for a kitchen scale.
Boy was I wrong.
Several years ago my frustration over inconsistent baking recipes mounted high enough that after screaming in my pillow too many times to count over failed cookies, a kitchen scale ended up in my kitchen, and it's definitely one of my most prized kitchen tools. Inexpensive, useful and essential – if you don't have a kitchen scale, get one! (This is the one I have and highly recommend it.)
I include weight measures for most of my baking recipes and rarely use a recipe online or in cookbooks that doesn't include weights, because, call me crazy, I kind of like it when recipes turn out perfectly the first time, don't you? If you are morally opposed to using a kitchen scale, please, please, please read this post on how to measure flour accurately.
Ok, phew! Rant over (for now).
Today's scone recipe (that I should be talking about instead of lecturing about scales) is infinitely adaptable. If you don't have cinnamon chips, use mini chocolate chips! Or play around with other flavors – maybe lemon or orange zest with an accompanying glaze?
The base buttermilk recipe is so fantastic, it deserves to be put to work. But I will say that the cinnamon version is absolutely magical. The little cinnamon morsels soften just a bit while baking, leaving behind pockets of sweet, cinnamon flavor with every bite. I love the mini cinnamon chips from King Arthur Flour but I think regular cinnamon chips from the grocery store baking aisle will work just fine, too, and probably leave you with even more cinnamony goodness.
I included a few step-by-step photos below the recipe; sometimes a quick visual helps, especially if you haven't made or perfected the almighty scone method, which is similar to a biscuit with the cardinal rule: DON'T OVERWORK THE DOUGH! Sorry to shout, but in the interest of avoiding tough, dry scones, it seemed necessary.
Having made these scones about a bajillion times over the last month, I can honestly say as a very proud and vocal scone lover that these are some of the best scones I've ever had.
I'll be using this base recipe for just about every scone event from here on out (and encouraging my family to strongly think about making these for Mother's Day; although just between you and me, I'm not above making my own food on Mother's Day as a means to a very happy end for everyone).
One Year Ago: Mexican Chopped Salad with Simple Honey Vinaigrette
Two Years Ago: Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
Three Years Ago: Outrageous Eskimo Bars
I have subbed half of the all-purpose flour with white whole wheat flour with pretty good results. The scones are a bit more dense but still delicious. If doing so, it's important not to overflour (using a scale to weigh the flour can help as well as not packing the flour into the cup when measuring).
The base scone recipe is very lightly sweet (meaning, not very sweet at all) which is perfect when paired with the sweet cinnamon chips and the light sprinkling of sugar, but if you are tempted to change up the add-in(s) or omit the sugar on top, you might want to increase the sugar in the dough just a bit. Speaking of cinnamon chips, the variety I use are on the miniature spectrum (similar to a mini chocolate chip) which means they easily find their way into all the nooks and crannies of the scone dough. If you use the cinnamon chips from your every day grocery store (similar to regular-sized chocolate chips), you might want to increase the amount and add 1 1/2 cups since they won't distribute as evenly as the mini ones.
I almost always use a food processor to mix up scone or biscuit dough. It's an awesome tool to avoid overmixing the dough. If you don't have a food processor, cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two butter knives. If doing so, you'll want to get the butter/flour mixture incorporated together until the butter is in pea-sized or slightly smaller pieces before stirring in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon or large spatula. It's definitely doable to make these without a food processor so don't let that be a deal breaker.
- 3 1/2 cups (17.5 ounces) all-purpose flour (see note above about whole wheat flour)
- 1/3 cup (2.75 ounces) sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks, 6 ounces) cold butter, cut into tablespoon-sized chunks
- 1 cup cold buttermilk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup (5 ounces) cinnamon chips (see note above)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Granulated sugar for sprinkling
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a food processor (see note above if you don't have one), combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is cut into smaller pieces - don't overprocess here; the butter should be no smaller than pea-sized pieces.
- Add the buttermilk and vanilla and pulse a couple of times until the dough starts to come together; don't overmix - it's ok if there are dry, crumbly spots here and there. Remove the blade and add the chips, using your hands to knead them in a bit. Turn the dough out onto a surface dusted with 1-2 tablespoons flour and combine the dough and chips together with your hands, kneading briefly, just 2-3 times, until it comes together. Pat and lightly press the dough into a long rectangle, about 15X3-inches.
- Cut the length of dough into triangular wedges, about 12-14 and place on the baking sheet, about an inch apart. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes until just lightly golden brown and no longer doughy in the center.

SEATTLE – The Columbus Crew came into Saturday's match riding the first 2-0 start in franchise history. But a road game against the Seattle Sounders promised to provide a much stiffer test than the Philadelphia Union at home or D.C. United on the road.
Test passed.
With the match tied 1-1 in the 94th and final minute of stoppage time, 89th-minute substitute Justin Meram stepped into a Federico Higuain corner kick and buried a 17-yard shot into the far corner of the net for the 2-1 win.
"This is my coaching tip," quipped Crew head coach Gregg Berhalter after the match. "Before he was going in, I told him to score a goal."
The goal stunned the CenturyLink crowd of 38,469 and gave a rejuvenated franchise a 3-0 start to the 2014 season.
The Sounders played the final 36 minutes with 10 men.
Higuain tied the match on a 58th minute penalty kick that followed the ejection of defender Djimi Traore. Referee Allen Chapman awarded the penalty and issued Traore the straight red card after the defender took down Dominic Oduro in the penalty area.
Higuain buried the ensuing penalty kick into the top-right corner for his third goal of the season.
The Sounders (2-2-0) opened the scoring in a wide-open first half that saw the Crew frequently on their heels and fortunate not to be down more than 1-0 at the break.
In the 22nd minute, Obafemi Martins collected a bad midfield turnover and flicked Kenny Cooper into acres of space. Cooper charged into the penalty area and buried a shot into the far netting for the 1-0 lead and his first goal as a Sounder.
"We did what we thought we'd be able to do," said Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid. "We knew that they like to spread the field and they spread their players on the field. When you can intercept passes you can get at them pretty quickly and the flank areas are open because their outside backs are up so high, and obviously we got the goal off that kind of play."
Lamar Neagle tested Steve Clark repeatedly in the first half, but the goalkeeper kept his team in the match with save after save. At one point Clark denied Neagle three times between the 19th and 21st minutes.
But Clark's biggest save of all probably came in the 39th minute, when he charged to the top of the 6-yard box and dove to deflect a left-footed Neagle shot from 12 yards out.
"I was just trying to make myself big, see the ball," Clark said. "I'm quite a good shot-stopper, so that played to my strengths. It was nice to make the save."
"He's a fighter," said Berhalter about his goalkeeper. "He's a guy that relishes these chances. He came up big."
Berhalter also suggested a difficult first half wasn't necessarily a surprise.
"We wanted to try to play," said the first-year head coach. "We wanted to play our game, and we knew it was going to be tough."
The Crew were much more balanced in the second half, controlling possession, nearly finding the back of the net on multiple occasions, and putting a stop to a seemingly endless stream of first-half Seattle counters.
Neagle, for his part, was left lamenting missed opportunities.
"If I put some of those chances away, (and) I had plenty, then it's a completely different story," Neagle said. "The game is deflated, they're out of it, they're away from home, and we're up two, three goals."
For the Crew, the win offers hope that Berhalter and new owner Anthony Precourt have put one of the league's flagship franchises thoroughly back in the mix.
"We just want to play our game," said Clark, "and we don't really care who we're playing."
Looking forward, both teams are back in action on Saturday. The Crew host Toronto FC, while the Sounders head to Portland to face the Timbers.
Here are the match highlights:
The Crew looked anemic until the red card. Truly a game changer.
Nupur LaLa
meh…legit card…Seattle had their chances…one play doesn't = 90 min. Things happens, not one thing determines the outcome of the game. 90 min is the sum of the outcomes of each second. Not one play or one person. If Seattle creates that many chances (w/10 men) they will win their share.
What was the card for? Mlssoccer.com reads "professional foul.". It was not dangerous play, it was not dogso (he got a shot off). A foul and pk were warranted, but straight red? Very questionable.
Also, Higuain was find for simulation for last week, Jiminez was carded for diving this week and Oduro went down like he was shot after minimal contact from Traore. There's clearly a trend of embellishment in the Crew's game plan.
Because he was the last defender and it was a clear goal scoring opportunity. One on one with the keeper to beat.
It sucks for Seattle that it results in a red card and a PK, but until FIFA changes the rule, it's the right call.
Contrary to popular belief, I think there is actually no rule saying a red is given for being the last defender on a goal scoring opportunity.
A foul is a foul is a foul. Red card, yellow card, or no card. The only difference is that any foul in the box is given a penalty kick.
You're right it's not for "Last Man" it's for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity. Usually that means if you've beaten the last man and he tackles you to stop you from having that opportunity to score.
divers suck
Dustin and MJ, both of your logic(s) are flawed (or maybe FIFA?). What if Stefan Frei's face wasn't in the way and Oduro scores?. That eliminates the DOGSO theory. Not only that, Traore certainly doesn't get sent off and likely doesn't get carded at all…
Getting your shot off doesn't matter when it's effected by the foul that happens before the shot get's off.
"The Crew looked anemic until the red card"
Did you watch the first half? It's been a while since I've seen that much action! They didn't create as many chances on goal as I'd like, but come on, it was far from anemic.
This is going to be a fun season!!!!!
It was a fairly even game according to the stats.
Beautiful job by the crew forward to place his body between the ball and the defender to force the defender to go through him to get the ball. And the crew corner at the end was also a thing of beauty
Win on the road, on the turf, to Seattle? Yeah, I'll have some of that.
So where is that clown who disagreed with me about berhalter being coach of the year….
Unfortunate result for Seattle, they created far more chances but wasted the majority of them. Were extremely dangerous going forward even after going down to 10 men. Sometimes you are going to lose games when you were the better team on the field and that is what happened to Seattle yesterday. Higuain almost scored a really nice chip goal in this game though.
Anyone know what was up with all the booing at the final whistle? Trying to find any other reason than just "sore losers", but coming up well short.
your mom
Watch the replay as the ref was addressing the Seattle players. He was still in the 6 yd box and did not signal for the kick. Refs are usually past the 18 for a corner. No one thought it was a legit kick. Shame on the Sounders for not being ready. Like a boxing match, always protect yourself. Poor coaching really…
Really? Poor coaching? Maybe if you're blaming their youth coach from 20 years ago. We can blame Sigi for plenty, and do. But it's on the players here.
I was watching the game from that end of the field and no one in the stands or on the field (other than the corner taker) had any idea that the ball was being played. All the players in the box for both teams were milling about and as stated above the ref was on the end line dealing with the scuffle that caused the corner.
I have never seen a short corner like this allowed at the end of the game when you know its going to be the last play.
This is awful. The league has to do something to prevent games like this. The attendance might drop for Seattle and it'd be the end of MLS

WIMBLEDON, England Eight days of downright un-Wimbledon weather have left the courts at the All-England Club playing hard and fast.
On Centre Court on Monday, the mercury exceeded 80 degrees, extending a hot, rain-free trend that has prevailed at the tournament.
Roger Federer, seeking a record-tying seventh title here, said that when "it's nice and warm like this" the ball travels through the air faster and "maybe glides through the grass a bit more."
But top-seeded Federer, who beat No. 16 seed Jurgen Melzer of Austria on Monday 6-3, 6-2, 6-3 to reach the quarterfinals, said the biggest difference is underfoot.
PHOTO GALLERY: Best images from Wimbledon
"You can move better, I have the feeling, because it's not as slippery because the grass almost is gone," the 16-time major winner from Switzerland explained. "It becomes a bit more of a hardcourt kind of a feel under your shoes. You get more grip, in my opinion. I think that's a bigger change than actually the weather."
American Sam Querrey said it "feels like a dry grass court" following his 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 loss to No. 4 seed Andy Murray of Scotland. "You get rewarded for your wide serve," the No. 18 seed said. "The slice stays low. If you pound the ball through the court, it really takes off."
The changing conditions could be an advantage to big servers, explosive hitters and those who struggle with movement on the slick grass at Wimbledon.
American Paul Annacone, who coached Pete Sampras for most of his record seven Wimbledon crowns, said there are big differences during the fortnight if it stays dry.
"When it's green at the beginning it's tough," said Annacone, the head men's coach for the British Lawn Tennis Association. "You always slip and slide more. When it gets brown you tend to be a little bit more stabilized."
Doubles player Mike Bryan, however, disagreed. He said the dearth of turf is "more slippery."
"You look at some of these courts and there's a lot of dirt out there with a little bit of grass," said Mike, seeded second in doubles with twin brother Bob. "It's tough to return on that."
Tim Henman of Britain, a four-time Wimbledon semifinalist now doing TV commentary, said it's more about the air than the court.
"I think it affects the ball more," said Henman of the heat. "The live air makes the ball a little bit livelier, bouncier."
Whether it played a role Monday is unclear, but a number of power players advanced, including Robin Soderling of Sweden, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France, Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic and both Williams sisters.
"The big hitters are going to enjoy it a little bit more," Annacone said.
Henman joked that either way "it's a nice conversation to have in this country."

Have you ever wondered secretly in the back of your mind if you could be completely forgiven of all your sins? I mean the really bad ones that most or nearly all people don't know about?
