A magnificent barn-style house in Bridgehampton built by Christopher Tufo Design & Build served as the setting for the 2015 showhouse benefiting the Southampton Hospital. Contemporary lanterns from Hinkley Lighting illuminate the exterior. The estate, complete with pool house and tennis pavilion, also features an alfresco dining area with outdoor fireplace. Twenty-six designers transformed more than two dozen spaces into their ideal summer escapes. Let's take a tour.

Great Room by Patricia Fisher
For the spacious great room, designer Patricia Fisher selected a metallic gray wallcovering to counter the fireplace's dark stone surround. A variety of seating, such as sculptural midcentury armchairs and ottomans, surrounds the coffee table, creating an optimal gathering spot. A patterned rug, striped linen draperies, and a drum pendant with hand-painted shade serve as finishing touches.

The foyer by Elissa Grayer greets guests with visual vibrancy. A blue-gray grass-cloth wallcovering by Thibaut and coordinating area rug from Stanton Carpet offset the entry's white wainscoting. A custom settee upholstered in navy chenille beckons while a round pedestal table with faux-shagreen inset displays nautical mementos. Troy Lighting's wrought-iron chandelier with rope detailing caps the expansive ceiling.

Family Room by Brian Brady & Franco Biscardi
Brian Brady and Franco Biscardi ensured the family room exudes comfort. An L-shape sectional and oversize coffee table encourage guests to kick back and relax. A two-tone gray grass-cloth wallcovering and similarly colored rug wrap the room in luxurious texture. Eight art pieces with a provocative slant crown the back console. The vintage Hermès leather chairs are the designers' favorite.

Library by Robert Brown
"I wanted the room to be masculine but appropriate for coastal living," says Robert Brown of the art-filled library. Pratt & Lambert's "China White" paint provides the perfect backdrop for a gallery wall. All the seating—including the leather chair and custom daybed with waterfall skirt—is by Wesley Hall. Simple casegoods with clean lines keep the space from becoming too busy.

Kitchen by Marlaina Teich
Pops of vivid blue contrast the white cabinetry in the lavish kitchen by Marlaina Teich. Crossville's frosted-mirror backsplash tiles give the illusion of beach glass.

Covered Terrace by John Loecke & Jason Oliver Nixon
Just outside the kitchen, the covered terrace by John Loecke and Jason Oliver Nixon is utter bliss. "It's a small slice of heaven in Sag Harbor," Nixon exclaims. "Note the tassels, the fringe-kissed throw pillows, the pagoda-shape lanterns, and terrific table settings."

Mudroom by Scot Meacham Wood
Inside, the mudroom by Scot Meacham Wood is awash in color and pattern. The space, dubbed "Camp Citron," is "a classic Adirondack-style room seen through a pop-art point of view," explains Wood. Debuting the designer's tartan textiles—note the acid-yellow draperies and coordinating pillows—the sporty sitting area also includes aquatic art and a pair of black lacquer chairs. In lieu of overhead lighting, a suspended kayak injects whimsy above.

Dining Room by Barbara Page
According to Barbara Page, the dining room, clad in blue jute wallpaper, is "elegant yet approachable." The vintage Milo Baughman table jump-started her design. A playful bench with acrylic legs teams with tufted linen chairs for seating. Silk awning-stripe draperies garnish the window while a bar cart tempts guests to pour their own cocktails. Circa Lighting's gilded orb ceiling fixture enhances the glamour.

Pool House Terrace by Jack Ovadia
Back outdoors, the pool house terrace by Jack Ovadia blends contemporary design with classic American architecture. To bring a bit of glitz to the exterior, Ovadia painted the trellis surround metallic gold and dressed it with white draperies. The furnishings, including rattan chairs, a gold cocktail table, and faceted "head" stools, are from Frontgate. Tiki torches and a copper fire pit encourage late-night lingering.

Pool House Kitchen by Tyler Pankratz
The pool house kitchen is "the perfect spot to grab a towel, refill your glass, and get back to enjoying summer poolside," says designer Tyler Pankratz. Because the space is not climate-controlled, it was furnished to withstand humidity and extreme temperatures—note the vinyl wallcovering and concrete faux-bois table. Pottery by Ballard Designs lines the cabinets while Crossville's tile backsplash and Grohe's chrome faucet accessorize the sink. The acrylic stemware is from Gracious Home.

Pool House Cabana by Cricket Burns
Summer colors radiate in the pool house cabana by Cricket Burns. "I used every inch of the small space to showcase my vision of a happy, chic changing room," says the designer. The closet door was coated in a high-gloss chartreuse paint from Pratt & Lambert to complement the ikat shower curtain and coordinating window trim. Overhead, a crystal boat chandelier reiterates the oceanside aura.

Powder room by Meredith Ostrom
Meredith Ostrom decided to go bold when designing the small powder room. Painted teal-and-white stripes team with a navy border embellished with starfish. The water-inspired wallcovering "has exciting movement, reminiscent of the roaring sea after a storm," Ostrom says. A custom paddle mirror, whale watercolor art, and a shell-encrusted box complete the coastal scene.

Master Bedroom by Diane Guariglia

Master Bath by Keith Baltimore
In designing the master bath, Keith Baltimore says, "Its vastness presented itself to me as a challenge in spatial planning, primarily in the center of the room." So he incorporated Corbett Lighting's extravagant crystal chandelier and placed a nearly transparent glass-and-acrylic table and a pair of wooden "plank" chairs atop Stanton Carpet's shag rug. The cork wallcovering with philodendron-leaf motif adds exotic flair.

Sao Paulo GRAND SLAM | 8 - 13 October 2013
São Paulo, Brazil, October 12, 2013 – With pool play and single elimination rounds all completed, Saturday's men's semifinal winners Brazil's second-seeded Pedro Salgado/Bruno Schmidt and USA's 18th-seeded Phil Dalhausser/Casey Jennings will now meet Sunday for the gold medal during the final day of the $440,000 FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam double-gender tournament as the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour is back in Brazil for the 27th consecutive year.
With the 2013 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Tour resuming in South America, the gold medal matches in each gender of the ninth 2013 FIVB Grand Slam event will be played Sunday morning. The event is being held for the first time in São Paulo in the purpose-built site that is located on the expansive grounds of Parque Villa Lobos on the west side of the massive city.
While it was very anticipated that Brazil's Salgado/ Schmidt would be in the gold medal match on their home country sand, USA's 18th-seeded Phil Dalhausser/Casey Jennings are easily the surprise team of the tournament. Although pushed to three sets in two of their matches in the tournament, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt enter Sunday's gold medal finale with an unblemished 6-0 record. USA's improbable Dalhausser/Jennings have earned a 6-1 record heading into the final.
USA's Dalhausser/Jennings suffered their only loss in pool play, a three-set loss to Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt, 12-21, 21-19, 12-15 in 58 minutes on Thursday. Sunday's rematch should ignite the large pro-Brazilian crowd expected to enjoy the gold medal match of the FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam.
When Dalhausser's regular teammate this year-Sean Rosenthal-withdrew from the tournament last Saturday with an injury, journeyman Jennings gladly accepted the opportunity to not only play but to watch in person his wife Kerri Walsh Jennings earned a spot in the women's gold medal match as well here in the FIVB São Paulo Grand Slam. Now they will both be taking turns cheering for each other in the finales of this event as the first-ever couple in the 27-year history of the FIVB World Tour to both be playing in their respective gold medal matches in the same event.
Both FIVB veterans, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt are playing in their 11 FIVB World Tour event together and playing consistently to lead the FIVB World Tour/FIVB Open point standings, this is their sixth FIVB final four appearance as a team with one gold medal, two silvers, one bronze and one fourth place finish. Individually, this is the 108th career FIVB World Tour event for Salgado, his 36th FIVB final four with 12 gold medals and seven silvers. Schmidt is playing in his 74th FIVB career event, his 12th FIVB final four with one gold and four silver medals. Earlier in their careers, Salgado/Schmidt team to win the gold medal at the 2006 FIVB U-21 World Championships in Myslowice, Poland.
Also both FIVB veterans, USA's Dalhausser/Jennings are playing in just their first FIVB World Tour event. Individually, this is Dalhausser's 70th career FIVB World Tour event, his 48th FIVB final four with 26 gold and seven silver medals. For Jennings, this is his 62nd career FIVB World Tour event, his fifth FIVB final four with one gold and one silver medal.
Latvia's third-seeded Aleksandrs Samoilovs/Janis Smedins overpowered Spain's fifth-seeded Pablo Herrera/Adrian Gavira, 21-14, 21-12 in just 29 minutes. Neither set was close as the Latvians seemed to take out their disappointment on losing their semifinal match to Brazil's Schmidt/Salgado.
After their bronze medal victory, Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedins will leave São Paulo with a 6-1 record in the tournament, a third place finish and $16,500 in prize money. As a team, this was their 11th FIVB World Tour event, their fifth final four placement and first bronze medal. They have also won two gold medals and two silvers. Individually, this was the 105th career FIVB World Tour event for Samoilovs, his sixth FIVB final four finish and first bronze medal. For Smedins, this was his 73rd career FIVB World Tour event, his ninth FIVB final four finish and second bronze medal.
After their loss in the bronze medal match, Spain's Herrerra/Gavira will leave São Paulo with a 4-4 record in the tournament, an official fourth-place finish and $12,900 in prize money. A veteran team, who finished ninth in the 2012 London Olympic Games, this was their 48th FIVB World Tour event as a team, 15th FIVB final four and fifth fourth-place finish. Individually, Herrera, who won the silver medal at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, this was his 114th career FIVB World Tour event, his 20th career FIVB final four and his sixth fourth-place finish. Gavira now has played in 75 career FIVB World Tour events, earning 16 FIVB final four finishes including five fourth place finishes.
In Saturday afternoon's first men's semifinals, the home country got a major victory when Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt held off the heroic effort by Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedins, 21-15, 20-22, 15-12 in 53 minutes.
In the final semifinal of the day, USA's Dalhausser/Jennings pulled off a huge upset in defeating Spain's Herrera/Gavira in straight sets, 21-18, 21-19 in 43 minutes.
The first semifinal pitted Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt and Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedins who are locked in a tight battle in not only the FIVB World Rankings but also the 2013 FIVB World Tour/FIVB Open point standings. This was the third meeting this year on the FIVB World Tour between the two teams and Salgado/Schmidt increased their series edge this year to 3-1 series edge. Their last meeting On June 6 in Hague, Netherlands, was the gold medal match won by the Brazilians. In April in the FIVB World Tour event in Corrientes, Argentina, the Latvians defeated the Brazilians in the semifinals on their way to winning the gold medal.
With an enthusiastic near-capacity crowd cheering loudly and consistently, Brazil's Salgado/Schmidt controlled the first set gradually pulling away at the finish. The second set was just opposite as Latvia's Samoilovs/Smedins tuned out the crowd, made some adjustments and squeaked out the overtime win. In the third and deciding set, Brazil looked like they would swamp the Latvians, quickly jumping out to a 3-0 only to see it evaporate as Samoilovs/Smedins scored three straight of their own. From there, the Latvians took a brief 8-7 lead but Salgado/Schmidt re-focused, regained the lead at 11-10 and with the crowd lifting them even higher with their continuous chants and cheers, Salgado closed with two kills and a block for points and Schmidt scored on a poke shot down the line.
Reviewing the second semifinal, ironically, not only was it the biggest upset of either the men or women's semifinals in this event, it was the only semi that didn't go into three sets to be decided. While USA's Dalhausser and Spain's Herrera/Gavira are both Olympians, the Dalhausser/Jennings team is a huge surprise here in Brazil.
Spain's Herrera/Gavira never quiet seemed in sink in this match which isn't uncommon when you are playing against a new team. The first set was close throughout with the team's exchanging points and ties as late as 16, 17 and 18 until USA's Dalhausser/Rogers put together a little run at the end to win it on a Jennings poke shot.
In the second set, USA scored early and often hold a three-point edge much of the set. Dalhausser/Jennings stretched the lead with Dalhausser blocks and Jennings' hits to increase their lead from 5-2 to 19-13 when Herrera/Gavira mounted a last-ditch attempt to get back in the set and match. The Spaniards whittled away with great kills and blocks, closing to within one point at 20-19 when Jennings ended the second set as he did the first, with another creative poke shot that landed just inside the sideline.

Wyclef Jean's very public effort to raise money for Haiti earthquake victims has brought his charity, the Yele Haiti Foundation, under fire.
A report by The Smoking Gun, and a subsequent article in The Washington Post, brought the foundation's financial history, and its effectiveness as an NGO, under scrutiny.
"The group has a lackluster history of accounting for its finances, and that the organization has paid the performer and his business partner at least $410,000 for rent, production services, and Jean's appearance at a benefit concert," according to The Smoking Gun.
U.S. & World
TSG also pointed out that in August 2009, Jean's charity filed its tax returns for the first time in its twelve year history, but even then returns were only filed for 2005, 2006, and 2007.
"It's questionable. There's no way to get around that," Art Taylor, president and chief executive of the Better Business Bureau's Wise Giving Alliance, based in Arlington, Va., told The Associated Press about Yele Haiti's financial history.
"Here's the bottom line: for an earthquake of catastrophic proportions, do people really believe that this organization is in a position to do anything right now?" he said.
The Yele Haiti Foundation has already revealed that it was not prepared for the overwhelming response to Jean's text-messaging campaign, which launched Tuesday. By Wednesday, the influx in texts had crashed the server.
People were asked to donate $5 by texting "YELE" to 501501. Yele Haiti and Jean managed to raise more than $2 million in just two days.
Jean posted a six-and-a-half minute video on YouTube in response to the allegations on Saturday evening.
"Coming back here, after digging kids up ... this is what I come back to, an attack on my integrity and my foundation," he began.
He went on to say that he has video footage to serve as proof of his dedication, and that he is disgusted by those attacking Yele Haiti.

Docter recorded a double-double with 15 kills and 16 digs to help the Crimson close out the regular season with a 3-1 victory over Brown (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's volleyball team defeated Brown in four sets Saturday night at the Malkin Athletic Center. The Crimson closed out its 2011 campaign with a 12-12 overall record and 5-9 Ivy League mark.
Brown (6-19, 2-12 Ivy League) took the first set, 25-19, after leading from beginning to end. The second set was a tightly contested affair as no more than three points separated the two squads through its entirety. Brown appeared to have gained the advantage late, taking a 20-17 lead after a Taylor Bantle kill. Harvard scored five of the next seven points, however, to even the score at 22. The teams continued to swap points to put the score at 24-24, but the Crimson scored three of the next four points to close out the set at 27-25 and even match at one.
It was Harvard, not brown, that gained the early advantage in the third set as back-to-back kills from Taylor Docter and Sandra Lynne Fryhofer gave the Crimson a 9-6 lead. Harvard kept the pressure on with a 9-4 run to extend the lead to 19-10. The closest the Bears got to evening the score was five points as the Crimson put away its second set of the contest, 25-16, to go up 2-1.
The Crimson turned up the intensity with the score tied at 13 in the fourth set, going on a 12-6 run to secure the victory, 25-19. Docter scored five points during the stretch, aiding Harvard in its 12th victory of the year.
Docter was the most impressive player on the court, reeling in a double-double with 15 kills and 16 digs. Natalie Doyle led Harvard in digs with 24 while Teresa Skelly and Kristen Casey recorded 10 kills and nine kills, respectively. Christine Wu notched 24 digs to bring her season total to 523, putting her at the top spot on Harvard's single-season digs list.
For two Harvard student-athletes, tonight marked the last time they would dawn the Crimson as seniors Wu and Fryhofer were honored on Senior Night. Wu finishes her career as one of the Crimson's most decorated players, setting a new program record for career digs while pulling into the number two spot in Ivy League history. Wu was named to the 2009 All-Ivy League second team and is a two-time honorable mention selection. Fryhofer, a second team All-Ivy pick in 2010, will graduate having recorded over 700 kills and 250 blocks.

Red Glass Sky Entertainment
Recent review: I am leaving 1 star because at least they showed up in costume at some point. Nye corporate event they had been booked for 2 dance slots specifically (2 dancers per slot 8.30 and 10.30) and a meet and greet as stated in contract. In the run up to the event i kept checking in with Sandrine the organiser to make sure everything was okay and to confirm the time of arrival. On the day of NYE she said the dancers for the first slot had been booked somewhere else and shes looking for dancers to replace but couldnt find any? This was booked and paid for in advance by me already! She told the client 1 dancer will arrive for meet and greet (8.30) and 2 dancers will do a dance slot at 10.30pm only. This wasnt what was booked at all. Disappointing and unprofessional, and I now have to deal with a very unhappy client.

My regular every two month check-up with my dermatologist went as usual: I encountered a ton of traffic and wondered why I live in Los Angeles; my blood labs are all normal except for a slightly elevated triglyceride reading and no major changes in treatment. In June I will have completed three straight years on cyclosporine but the doctor doesn't seem too concerned about it. There is a small chance that with normal creatinine (kidney function) levels and blood pressure that my kidneys could still be harmed. So we could have a kidney biopsy at year four or five (if they are like liver biopsies I'm not too excited about the possibility).
Then he asked me a question I hadn't heard from him before: "Have you tried Tazorac?" I told him the gel gave me problems with redness and burning. He suggested I try the cream instead. Why might Tazorac be a good option? For one it is non-steroidal. Taking topical steroids for long durations of time can thin the skin among other side effects. And, secondly, we might be able to "fool the psoriasis."
Fooling psoriasis? The idea is that psoriasis treatments become ineffective over time as the disease adapts to them. By changing, or rotating, therapies, the psoriasis may respond better to treatment. Since I have used steroid ointments of various strengths for years this may be an advantageous time to switch and "pull a fast one" on the psoriasis.
In general I agree with rotational therapy, but too often I feel like the fool agreeing to it. It's easy for the doctor to prescribe a medication then let me loose for a number of weeks with it. But most every time I switch medications I experience some rebound of psoriasis and have to live with the consequences. If I could stay on the same treatment for the rest of my life I would. Unfortunately, all good treatments usually do come to an end for me. For example, I spent almost eight years on Soriatane before switching to a number of treatments that seemed to only exacerbate my psoriasis. That's why every time I see my doctor I dread he's going to say, "Let's try (insert treatment I've tried before but hated for one reason or another here)."
I suppose this time I might just be only a "little foolish" for changing a medium strength steroid for Tazorac cream. But if I can fool the psoriasis into improving with it, then I'm willing to try. Change is inevitable; it's just that I want to avoid that dark tunnel called psoriasis rebound at all costs. If I didn't at least try I definitely would be the fool.

There are numerous benefits to owning your own home. Not only does it provide a place to live, where you can decorate as you want, but it also provides a source of wealth. Over time, most homes increase in value, and many homeowners use their gains for a whole host of purposes. Using your home's equity can be a money-smart decision, but it is also a serious one that can have negative consequences if not done carefully. This course can help you make an informed choice. It will cover:
Chapter 1: What is Home Equity?
Home equity is the part of your home's value that you own outright. If you have a mortgage, you do not own the whole home – your mortgage lender has an interest in it as well. For example, if you sold your home for $600,000 and had a $400,000 mortgage, the lender would get $400,000, and you would get $200,000 – your equity in the home. You can calculate your home's equity using a simple equation:
Short of selling your home, how can you determine what the current market value is? To get the number, you can either do a comparative market analysis or have your home professionally appraised. A comparative market analysis is an informal estimate of your home's market value. By plugging your data into a home value calculator, available on many real estate websites, you can obtain a ballpark figure of what your home is worth. Another option is to ask a local real estate agent to give you an estimate of the price your home could sell for. For a more precise estimate, you may hire a certified appraiser, which typically costs a few hundred dollars. This appraisal takes many variables into consideration, including your home's:
You can build equity through making a down payment when you purchase your home, paying down your mortgage balance by making the monthly payments, and experiencing appreciation. Appreciation occurs when market demand rises. For example, if you bought your home for $200,000 a few years ago, it may sell today for $250,000 because prices in your neighborhood have increased. Your property may also appreciate if you made repairs or home improvements. While home values tend to appreciate over time, they do not have to. When the value depreciates, your equity decreases. If it depreciates enough, you could have negative equity, where the value of your house is less the amount you owe on your mortgage.

- When you work with DNG images, Aperture adjusts the RAW data, so most of the adjustments offered with natively supported RAW formats are available. However, because the decoding offered with directly supported cameras is tailored for each camera's RAW format, the basic decode for natively supported images may be better than with DNG images.
- The Auto Noise Compensation adjustment under Raw Fine Tuning is not available with DNG images. Auto Noise Compensation requires specific knowledge of the camera's sensor characteristics in combination with the ISO value of the image. DNG images do not provide the needed sensor information.
- The Baseline DNG support in Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 does not include Linear DNG images. Only RAW DNG is supported.
- DNG images created by cameras with Foveon sensors are not supported. The image data format with Foveon sensors is very different from that of the Bayer sensors used by most cameras.
Aperture 2 and 3: Tips on Baseline DNG support
Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 can decode digital negative (DNG) images from almost any camera, whether or not the camera's RAW format is directly supported. Read on for tips for working with DNG images.

Currently watching the London Forum show from 25th April 2013, such a fucking great show and the lost evening shows need to be captured in one form or another in my humble opinion.
A set of live recordings for all four nights would be amazing as a box set or individual recordings for those attending single nights!?
Lost Evenings
If you have a specific question you want me to get back to, put it here and I'll think about it

Re: Lost Evenings
We are working on show 2000. There actually isn't much market for live shows like that, as it goes (certainly not next to how much it costs to document), so we'll do the one from Notts and probably leave it at that.
Shows? All of em.

Re: Lost Evenings
Hello Frank, While getting ready for this weekend, any song(s) from the back catalogue you and The Sleeping Souls were especially surprised you've missed playing? Or anything prove to be particularly challenging after being on the shelf for a while?
Wish I could be there!

Father of man killed by Kenosha police asks for FBI investigation
A Kenosha father who claims police have covered up his son's death for nearly a decade is asking the FBI to look into the incident.
Michael E. Bell was shot and killed by a Kenosha police officer in 2004. Officers said 21-year-old Bell struggled with them and then grabbed for an officer's gun.
"The original investigation showed that the police department did their investigation and produced information to the district attorney and said it was justifiable," said Ronald Frederick, president of the Kenosha Police and Fire Commission.
Bell's father, Michael M. Bell, has been working for eight years to prove that the officers' account of what happened was not accurate.
Tuesday Bell presented the Commission with the findings of an independent investigator.
"I'm standing tall and saying there's a problem," Bell told the commission.
Bell hired investigator Ira Robins to look into the incident, and the two men are now urging the FBI to open an investigation.
Bell said his evidence shows that officers changed their stories multiple times, and that an officer's gun holster became caught on the squad car, which may have led police to think Bell was reaching for the gun.
"There's not one shred of evidence that my son had a hand on anybody's gun," Bell told the commission. He also said he has "loads of evidence that the police in this town were lying and this was a cover-up."
Police Chief John Morrissey said an FBI agent came to Kenosha last week for what was called a "meet and greet." He said his officers and the commission are prepared to cooperate fully should the FBI launch an investigation.
"I don't think anybody can push the FBI," Frederick said. "If the FBI feels they have enough evidence to do something, they probably will."
While an internal police investigation cleared the officers of any wrongdoing, the Bell family did receive a civil settlement from the city.
Bell has used funds from that settlement to launch the independent investigation, as well as for purchasing billboards questioning why police are allowed to investigate their own incidents.
The commission is scheduled to meet in January, and Frederick said he hoped that all of Bell's information would be reviewed by that time.
