This can become a problem if you ever decide to sell your house in the future. By contacting a team of timber home builders Mandurah from a great building service, you can make sure that renovations and additions happen in a way that increases the value of your whole property.

Presonus this year seem focused on building upon their popular range of studio live desks, with a number of new I/O expansion options to help flesh out your setup.
Designed to work seamlessly with the Presonus StudioLive Series 3 mixers, these two stage boxes allow for easy routing of your audio over standard cat5 or cat6 cable, allowing for less signal degradation over long runs and eliminating large heavy snake runs around the venue.
When setup alongside a Series 3 console, the stage boxes also allow you to remote control them straight from the desk or even from the dedicated touch control app. Featuring locking combo mic/line inputs, XMAX preamps and a pair of AVB connections to allow you daisy chain more units as required, meaning these boxes offer you the flexibility to route and patch your stage to accommodate pretty much any show.
Taking it up a level, the 24R and 32R are more stage box offerings that also function as sub-mixers as well, making ideal for doing secondary monitoring mixes on stage too. Once again you have the full remote mixing capability when hooked up to a series 3 studio live desk allowing you to fully control and customize your scenes and making it just as suitable for long-term shows and installs, as it is for going on tour.
Lastly, we have the EarMix 16M which does away with the stage box functions, making it a hands-on and easy to control 16-way headphone submixer and amplifier.
Each EarMix 16M accepts 16 mono channels of input via AVB networking and can network multiple units with a StudioLive Series III mixer. This allows you to setup up your own custom onstage mix in the headphones, and the line out options also allows you to feed this through to your foldback setup, for a fully custom monitoring arrangement.
NAMM 18 – UA let the Arrow fly.
UA's big announcement came a week before NAMM this year and is small, possibly one of their smallest yet perhaps, but all the better for it.
The Arrow is a Thunderbolt 3 ready audio interface with an included core for handling UA plugins onboard. Fitted out with a conversion section derived from UA's flagship Apollo interface range, as well as a headphone amp with a clean punchy output, makes this diminutive audio interface an astounding portable recording solution to go alongside any laptop.
For the I/O we see an instrument input and headphone output on the front of the interface along with 2 more inputs and the main outputs around the rear.
The interface ships with the UA "Realtime Analog Classics" bundle, which offers a number of classic EQ's, Compressors and guitar amp models and because the plugins are run on the UA, this allows for near-zero latency tracking through the interface with the effects applied and makes it just as ideal for live performances as it does for capturing your session.
This looks to be the cheapest entry point into the UA ecosystem so far and the perfect device for leveraging your plugs when out of !the studio and on the road. If you're already a user of those plugins and want to take them on a mobile adventure or perhaps just want to dip your knee into the pool, this could be the interface for you.

Q: OpenGL ES Framebuffer size format is invalid After I upgraded my Embedded Qt 5.9.8 Application to Qt version 5.12.8 I got the warning "Setting framebuffer size is only available with DRM atomic API".
The application run on a i.MX6 Solo System On Module (OS Yocto Warrior Linux, Kernel 4.19).
I fixed this warning by setting the environment variable QT_QPA_EGLFS_KMS_ATOMIC.
Then I got "Framebuffer size format is invalid".
How can I set the Framebuffer size format?
I tried to solve it with QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_WIDTH and QT_QPA_EGLFS_PHYSICAL_HEIGHT.
But I still get the warning.

Plane Crash Claims 18 Lives In Nepal
December 9, 2020 February 19, 2014 by Kraig Becker
A plane crash in Nepal on Monday claimed the lives of the 18 people on board. The flight crashed into the side of a hill after taking off from the town of Pokhara. Most of the passengers were Nepali, although there was one Dane aboard the flight as well.
Air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane just minutes after takeoff. It was en route to Kathmandu with 15 passengers and three crew members. The Twin Otter aircraft, a staple in the mountainous landscapes of Nepal, went down on a hill known as Masinelek. The official cause of the crash is bad weather.
This is the third crash in as many years in Nepal, bringing into question the safety of flying there. According to the BBC article linked to above, since 1949, there have been more than 70 aircraft crashes in Nepal, with over 700 people dying in those crashes. For the size of the country, that is a pretty astounding number, but when you factor in the High Himalaya, and the unpredictable weather, it becomes a bit more understandable.
Despite the remote and difficult terrain that this plane went down in, the bodies have already been recovered and returned to Kathmandu. My condolences go out to the friends and family of those who died in this accident.

AGCO Updates North American Brand Strategy, says it's Committed to Gleaner Brand
January 14, 2010 | Posted in Best Practices
AGCO Corp. says it has officially announced details of the company's North American brand strategy for 2010 and beyond.
The company says this is a "major step in an aggressive business approach which focuses on bringing new products and improved services to professional growers and advancing AGCO's position as a leading player in the North American agricultural machinery marketplace.
"Our North American strategy is based on two simple ideas that will improve our overall competitiveness," says Robert Crain, senior vice president and general manager, North America, AGCO Corp. in a statement.
"First, by focusing our resources behind fewer brands we can bring more innovation and technology to our customers in key areas, resulting in market-leading products that meet the needs of today's farmers. In addition, fewer brands allow us to achieve greater brand impact and help our full-line dealers better support our valued customers. To this end, Challenger and Massey Ferguson will become our foundation brands within North America.
"Brands such as Hesston, Sunflower, Gleaner, White Planters, SpraCoupe, Fendt and others offer unique customer benefits within the marketplace and are not going away. These will be leveraged via co-branding strategies as appropriate. Hesston by Massey Ferguson is one example."
The company confirm that the plan does include phasing out the AGCO brand of equipment, including its line of orange tractors, which are expected to be marketed into 2011. "As AGCO has demonstrated throughout its history, the company will continue to provide quality parts and service support well into the future," the company says.
Crain adds, "There have been questions in the marketplace about the future of the Gleaner brand, as it is so often linked to the orange tractors. AGCO is committed to the Gleaner brand moving forward. The innovative transverse technology in our silver combines sets us apart, and we anticipate market share growth in this segment. In fact, there are exciting new enhancements for Gleaner in the not-too-distant future."
Strengthening the Dealer Network
AGCO says it is expensive to support multiple brands and "a strong dealer network representing full-line brands" is a key component of the AGCO strategy to increase market share in North America.
"We are committed to serving our customers through a quality dealer network that will support existing and future products, help us provide innovative customer service and deliver the new technologies resulting from AGCO's expanded product development efforts," Crain says.
"We understand the heritage and tradition surrounding the AGCO tractor brand. To make certain we preserve our customers' access to exceptional product support, we will work with all AGCO tractor dealers on an individual basis to seek the best ongoing solution in their market. Options may include them continuing as a dealer for Massey Ferguson products. We are confident all our customers will continue to receive the level of support they've come to expect throughout the years."

Huddersfield have been relegated from the Premier League. Now what? Jan Siewert has a few ideas
Jan Siewert is different from most managers who experience relegation. For a start, he's looking forward to starting over with Huddersfield.
Jan Siewert could easily feel like he has been handed an impossible job. He took over as Huddersfield Town manager in January, with the club already firmly rooted to the bottom of the Premier League and sinking without a trace, their relegation a formality. David Wagner did an extraordinary job in taking Huddersfield to the Premier League and keeping them there, but his spirit was eroded by the inability to keep the West Yorkshire club punching above its weight.
Enter Siewert, a manager whose only club experience had come with Rot-Weiss Essen in the German fourth tier, as an assistant manager for second-tier Bochum and as head coach of Borussia Dortmund's reserve team. He became the third consecutive manager of that side to move to England.
It has been a baptism of fire. Huddersfield beat Wolves in late February but have lost every other game that Siewert has managed. With four games of the league season remaining, they have three more points than Derby County's record-low total of 11. The somewhat mythical "new manager bounce," whereby teams have a winning reaction to a change of coaches, didn't come to fruition.
"It hurts. It hurts after every game that you lose," Siewert says. We meet in his office at Huddersfield's training complex ahead of a trip to Tottenham, which most pundits and even plenty of Town supporters expect the team to lose comfortably. (It ended 4-0, with Lucas Moura scoring a hat trick.) This is Siewert's first extended interview in England, and he has some things to say. Although you might expect seemingly constant defeats to destroy a new manager's positivity, he has a different perspective.

"We all knew how special the Premier League was to Huddersfield Town and [to the town of] Huddersfield. Losing that can be hard to take, but what keeps me positive is that the club has always held a long-term view of my appointment. I signed a contract for two-and-a-half years. I wouldn't have come here if they weren't on board with the long-term view. There would be difficult times ahead, and there still might be. Many things that could have gone our way haven't. But keep working toward your vision, and that momentum will change. I firmly believe that."
Relegation can be a punch to the stomach, with the effects of the drop lasting well beyond the one season. Last year's relegated trio currently sit fourth, 13th and 15th in the second tier. Supporters of Championship clubs usually view the parachute payments -- relegated teams are given structured payments over three years to help offset the loss of revenue from exiting the Premier League -- as an artificial leg-up that those relegated from the top tier barely deserve, given that the financial gap between the Premier League and Championship has never been greater, but fewer teams are going straight back up than 20 years ago.
The trend suggests two things for relegated teams: They tend to have an overhaul of players and managers following a drop, provoking a full reset and loss of identity, as well as the psychological damage that levels the financial playing field. Does Siewert believe he can change the mentality of players who have grown so accustomed to losing when they try again next year? How does a manager offset the psychological impact of relegation?
"We must have a good preseason," he says. "We must take some time to look at everything that has happened during this season. The club is willing to learn from its mistakes, but there's also no point ever trying to shy away from them. We have to analyse them in detail. That's the only way to turn them into positives.
"Obviously, each manager needs the best players for his style, and in the recruitment, we now look at players who will fit my ethos. This is absolutely key. When I look at all the teams that are toward the top of the Championship now, each manager has created a team that mirrors them but also has a club determined to get players to fit that style.
"The other thing to note about [transfers] is that you want to bring in players with fresh minds and fresh ideas. The players that got this club promoted and kept them in the Premier League deserve huge credit. But they are hurting now, which is totally normal. Fresh faces can help them change their mood."
Hudderfield's season barely betters the record-low points total of Derby more than a decade ago, but Siewert is relishing the chance to reinspire this struggling squad.
Siewert insists that preparation, both physical and mental, is key. Since relegation was confirmed, he has been watching matches involving the teams Huddersfield will play next season. Although he points out that teams are punished less for any individual mistakes outside the Premier League, he then points to clubs with big budgets that continue to struggle as proof that going into next season with any ego would be a monumental error.
"I think the biggest mistake would be to say 'We will bounce straight back up,'" Siewert says. "The only thing we can do is to focus our work and stay true to what we believe in. Through that, results will come. If you stick with it, find the right players for it, it will come.
"Maybe it takes one season, maybe two, but more important than when is the how. Have we got an identity as a club? Do we play in a way that we believe in? Have we developed the facilities that allow us to attract players? Have we improved the academy? These are component parts that make the bigger picture work. It's a long-term view, but that's what a club like Huddersfield need if they are to be a real Premier League club again."
Given Huddersfield's Premier League form, I ask Siewert what he considers to be a perfect "Jan Siewert" performance. Pride in performance, counter-pressing, defensive anticipation, aggression to win back the ball immediately and overlapping runs are all mentioned, but Siewert is at his most emphatic when discussing how highly he values the will and fight of his players.
"When I managed Dortmund's second team, the players who made it, like [Dan-Axel] Zagadou and [Jadon] Sancho? They had a built-in identity to fight," he says. "Fighting is separate from skill. It's about mindset. When people talk about [Cristiano] Ronaldo and [Lionel] Messi, of course they have incredible talent. But they are hardworking, more than we could imagine.
"If you have a talent at playing piano, you won't become a maestro without fight. You have to be ugly to yourself every day. It's the attitude of working. Everything comes through that.
"Even if you delay by one or two seconds, which allows an opponent more space, you have a problem. I need players who don't stop, who will catch you and beat you because they are committed to the spirit of this club. Look at the emblem of [Huddersfield]. We are terriers. If a terrier bites your leg, he isn't going to let go."
Of course Siewert is right. Nothing worth having comes easily, and nothing has come easily to Huddersfield this season. Relegation will improve their and his chances of winning matches, but it can also leave psychological wounds that only months of hard work can heal. Huddersfield have no urgent financial need to go straight back up, but the longer you stay away from the top, the harder it can be to retake your seat.
"In a year's time, I want to be sat here saying that I can see my face in this team," he says. "That is the most important thing. If I see myself in the team that represents this club on the pitch, then I know that results will be coming and Huddersfield will be on the right path. If I see myself in the team, the rest will take care of itself. That's always what I've experienced in my career, and that's what I want to experience here.
"This club was taken to an amazing, unthinkable place by Wagner, his staff and the players. Now we will no longer be in the Premier League. So the next step is to develop a club that can get into the Premier League and stay there. I'm the person to take this club through that process."

Q: Machine ID for Mac OS? I need to calculate a machine id for computers running MacOS, but I don't know where to retrieve the informations -  stuff like HDD serial numbers etc.  The main requirement for my particular application is that the user mustn't be able to spoof it. Before you start laughing, I know that's far fetched, but at the very least, the spoofing method must require a reboot.
The best solution would be one in C/C++, but I'll take Objective-C if there's no other way. The über-best solution would not need root privileges.
Any ideas? Thanks.

A: The tool /usr/sbin/system_profiler can provide you with a list of serial numbers for various hardware components.  You might consider using those values as text to generate an md5 hash or something similar.

A: Erik's suggestion of system_profiler (and its underlying, but undocumented SystemProfiler.framework) is your best hope. Your underlying requirement is not possible, and any solution without hardware support will be pretty quickly hackable. But you can build a reasonable level of obfuscation using system_profiler and/or SystemProfiler.framework.
I'm not sure your actual requirements here, but these posts may be useful:

*

*Store an encryption key in Keychain while application installation process (this was related to network authentication, which sounds like your issue)

*Obfuscating Cocoa (this was more around copy-protection, which may not be your issue)

I'll repeat here what I said in the first posting: It is not possible, period, not possible, to securely ensure that only your client can talk to your server. If that is your underlying requirement, it is not a solvable problem. I will expand that by saying it's not possible to construct your program such that people can't take out any check you put in, so if the goal is licensing, that also is not a completely solvable problem. The second post above discusses how to think about that problem, though, from a business rather than engineering point of view.
EDIT: Regarding your request to require a reboot, remember that Mac OS X has kernel extensions. By loading a kernel extension, it is always possible to modify how the system sees itself at runtime without a reboot. In principle, this would be a Mac rootkit, which is not fundamentally any more complex than a Linux rootkit. You need to carefully consider who your attacker is, but if your attackers include Mac kernel hackers (which is not an insignificant group), then even a reboot requirement is not plausible. This isn't to say that you can't make spoofing annoying for the majority of users. It's just always possible by a reasonably competent attacker. This is true on all modern OSes; there's nothing special here about Mac.

A: How about getting the MAC ID of a network card attached to a computer using ifconfig?

Q: WPF Themes and TemplateSelectors So I'm going through a style (in this case, WhistlerBlue.xaml) and I'd like to be able to use TemplateSelectors with my data.
However, this seems a fallacy because it just doesnt seem to work! How can I (Aside from carte-blanch commenting out the offending style, the ListBoxItem style) use a DataTemplateSelector with it?

A: Try adding a binding for the ListBoxItem.ContentTemplateSelector property:

*

*Inside the theme XAML, find the ListBoxItem control template (it's set into the "Template" property inside teh ListBoxItem style).

*Find the ContentPresenter element inside the template.

*Add the missing binding:
<ContentPresenter
    x:Name="contentPresenter"
    Content="{TemplateBinding Content}"
    ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplate}"
    ContentTemplateSelector="{TemplateBinding ContentTemplateSelector}" <-- ADD THIS LINE
    HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}"
    Margin="{TemplateBinding Padding}"/>

I'm not big on collecting things. Clutter doesn't fit my personality, and living lean makes moving regularly a heck of a lot easier. Mostly, I collect experiences, and along with them, I sometimes collect mugs.
Mugs work for me because they have utility. They don't just line a shelf turning dusty—because, uh, I do collect dust—you can use them. And we do.
Between my mint green tea habit, The Engineer's weakness for java, and our morning oatmeal routine, we go through a lot of mugs in our house.
Some of my favorites are those we've picked up on our travels. There's nothing better than a cup of hot tea—okay, really, really warm tea, is lukehot a word?—and a tactile reminder of a fun adventure.
The mugs are a daily reminder of some of our best trips. Here are a few of my favorites.
Thanks, Wendy! My mugs always bring a little smile to my face and a good memory to mind. That's what a souvenir is supposed to do, right?
I've got two Scrivener mugs, one for my day job and one for the home office. Waiting for one with the new icon, I'll probably get two of those as well.
Love the Monticello mug! And I love Dave's, too. I'll be on the lookout for something similar. I have a teacup with a Mary Engelbreit design on it that says "Nothing is worth more than this day" that I like to use. I'm also attracted to mugs and teacups with pretty floral patterns.
I like the quote on your Mary Engelbreit mug!
Uh oh, that's going to be a very dangerous site for me! LOL!
I know what you mean, Maura. I love the Not Daydreaming Mug. That one is totally me. 🙂 You have a good weekend too!
I collect pens from our travels, useful and vacation reminders–like your mugs. I've always been a fan of Jefferson. Now I now why!
Pens are a good idea, Jolyse. Also useful. I have some from various events and places, but they were usually freebies.

The Venus Freeze is a revolutionary treatment which is highly effective for skin tightening and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Venus Freeze uses pulsed magnetic fields, which provide you with the added benefits of increased oxygen, nutrients and blood to the skin – giving it an immediate and long lasting glow. Our Promise is to provide you with a safe, pleasant, and pain-free experience in treatments for the face and body.
As someone who is not a fan of invasive treatment, I was pleased to learn at a trial at Scruples for the VenusFreeze that this was exactly what I was looking for. As a person who concentrates hard on a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise, there was still a missing ingredient to tackle the wrinkles and lines on my neck and face area. The treatment is the exact opposite from it's name - it is warming, very relaxing and sleep inducing! After the first session I saw instant results and, following the full recommended course, I started to receive lots of comments from friends about how fresh and healthy I was looking. Even better is that months on the effects have remained and I have no hesitation in recommending the treatment to anyone!

A serious problem which the Indian Government has not been able to tackle are the cases against NRI husbands who have abandoned their brides. Many NRI men run a racket of coming to India in order to get married and extort dowry from the bride and her relatives on the pretext of being a NRI. These NRI husbands desert their wives post marriage and the new brides have to face a lot of problems on account of their marital status including financial difficulties.
There is no law in India which deals with this specific problem. A case can be registered against the NRI husband under Section 498A of IPC which provide for punishment for cruelty towards a woman or under the Dowry Prohibition Act. But, since the NRI husbands who desert their wives usually flee the country after coercing the bride or her family to meet their unlawful dowry demands, prosecuting them is usually near to impossible.
In order to take care of this issue of absconding NRI husbands, a Bill on Registration of Marriage of non-Resident of India was introduced by the government. The objective of the Bill is to create more accountability and offer more protection against exploitation of Indian women by their NRI spouses. It envisages (i) Registration of Marriages by Non-Resident Indians; (ii) Amendment of the Passports Act 1967 and (iii) Amendment to the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973.
According to the provisions of the Bill, the compulsory registration of marriage within thirty days of marriage in India or abroad would provide better enforcement of rights of the deserted spouse under various family laws. Similarly, the Amendment to the Passport Act would empower the Passport Authority to impound or revoke the passport of NRI, if it is brought to his notice that the NRI has not registered his marriage within 30 days from the date of marriage. The Amendments to CrPC, 1973 would empower the Courts for issuance of summons, warrants through the specially designated website of the Ministry of External Affairs. It also provides provisions for attachment of properties belonging to the NRI, if he does not appear before the Court and is declared as Proclaimed Offender by the Court.
Once this Bill is enacted, it would act as a catalyst in nabbing absconding NRI husbands. It would also act as a deterrent and discourage NRIs from committing this crime.
Another issue which is faced by brides married to NRI husbands is Dowry Demands and Domestic Violence by husband after the couple has moved abroad. In such cases, the court of the country in which the couple resides has jurisdiction. The aggrieved woman can approach the nearest Indian Embassy/ Consulate for help or file a complaint with the local police. The aggrieved woman can also contact the Indian mission who can help her file a case against her husband in the foreign country.
An alternate recourse available is to come back to India and a file a case here. By virtue of Section 188 of the CrPc, offences committed outside India would be deemed to be committed within India. Therefore, a complaint can be filed in India for atrocities committed against her by her NRI husband.
With the increase in offences by NRI men against Indian women, it is always advisable to do a thorough background check before falling in the trap and marrying a deserter NRI husband. Further, with the enactment of the Registration of Marriage of non-Resident Indian bill, it would be easier to catch the NRI husbands who coerce and abandon their wives.


The Wickersham CALM site was established as part of a major fire-effects study conducted by the Institute of Northern Forestry following the 1971 Wickersham Fire.
As part of these studies a series of thaw probe lines were established to follow the changes in the active layer as a result of the fire and fireline construction. Details of the fire and related studies were presented by Viereck and Dyrness (1979). The data for the Wickersham CALM site comes from an undisturbed black spruce stand that was established as a "control" for the studies of active layer changes in the burned and fireline areas.
The Wickersham site is approximately 50 km northwest of Fairbanks and adjacent to the Elliot Highway. (65 o 10'N: 147 o 54'W) The probe line is at an elevation of 335 m near the foot of a long west-facing slope. The vegetation along the probe line is an open black spruce forest type (Open Picea mariana/Ledum groenlandicum/Sphagnum spp-Cladonia spp community) (Viereck et al 1993). The black spruce have a density of 1240 trees/ha and 45% canopy cover. Average diameter of the trees in 1971 was only 5.2 cm. A detailed description of the vegetation at the site can be found in Viereck, 1982.
A probe line 20 meters long was established parallel to the slope: 10 probing sites at 2-meter intervals were permanently marked along the line. A trail was established below the line to avoid disturbance of the vegetation at each of the probe sites. For the first four years of the study the active layer was measured at two-week intervals. Starting in 1975 soil temperatures were also taken at two-week intervals at depths of 5, 10, 20, and 50 cm with a steel probe with a thermistors at the tip. In 1978 a set of thermistors was installed near one end of the probe line at depths of 5, 10, 20, 50, and 90 cm and were read weekly or biweekly. In addition, in October of 1978 a thermograph and weather station were installed at the site to record air temperatures. Snow depth was measured throughout the winter using two permanent snow poles. These weekly observations were continued through October of 1983. After that the active layer was measured at the ten points along the probe line once a year, usually in mid September.
Lithology: The soil at the site is a Saulicch silt loam (a Histic Cryaquept (USDA 1975). These are poorly drained soils formed of a silty loam more than 75 cm in depth with a shallow active layer. There is a moss-litter layer (01 and 02) of 25 to 30 cm underlain by approximately 10 cm of a dark grayish-brown silty loam A horizon over a frozen C horizon of olive-gray silty loam.

New book honors life, style of Bunny Mellon, the heiress who designed the White House Rose Garden
By Russell Craver 9 months ago
The protect of "Bunny Mellon Style" characteristics a watercolor portray of the late heiress' Paris condominium, decorated in the late 1970s or early 1980s. With spare French country furniture, a painted ground and an orange and yellow Mark Rothko painting hanging on a wall, it is photograph-best, even these days, stated her good friend Bryan Huffman — co-creator of the e-book with Mellon's grandson, prosperity supervisor Thomas Lloyd, and back garden professional Linda Jane Holden.
The reserve is a person far more tribute to Mellon, a horticulturist, artwork collector and philanthropist who lived a extensive and unusual everyday living. She was 103 when she died in 2014.
Her paternal grandfather was the chemist who invented Listerine her father marketed it and was president of the Gillette Protection Razor Company. She wasn't authorized to go to higher education — "What male needs an educated girl?" her father requested — and rather was handed a list of 6 suitable prospective husbands and instructed by her father that she would marry one of them.
Her boarding university roommate was the renowned designer Sister Parish, and which is the similar direction Bunny desired to go. She referred to as it "stage design" and although she in no way studied it, she practiced it through her everyday living, creating households and evening meal get-togethers, helping her friend Jackie Kennedy restore sophisticated history in the White Household and just about solitary-handedly designing the Rose Yard, which she afterwards returned to spruce up all through the Reagan administration.
Mellon hated the spotlight, shunning publicity and interviews in the course of her life, even as she taken care of a track record for hosting amazing activities in Washington, D.C., and in other places.

At just about every property Mellon experienced during the entire world she had a backyard garden and put in hrs tending to it herself. Her closet was stuffed with grand jewels and haute couture, night gowns to the clothing she wore for gardening. The famed French designer Hubert de Givenchy even created a gardening hat that she wore regularly.
In 2020, Holden, Huffman and Lloyd released "Garden Strategies of Bunny Mellon" as nicely as the "Bunny Mellon Garden Journal," focusing on her devotion to gardening. The new reserve broadens the scope, from childhood to her afterwards a long time, examining her relationships, residences and gardens.
Huffman and Lloyd will be in Houston April 26 for Texas Style and design 7 days, when they'll chat about and indicator copies of the guide.
Q: Why was it time to produce another ebook on Bunny Mellon?
Lloyd: In my youthful a long time, we would stop by my grandparents for Thanksgiving and Xmas, the holidays, and see them at their Cape Cod home in the summers. But she was a private individual, so there was often a length. As soon as I experienced children, I could see a various side of her prior to she died. I didn't get to genuinely know her until the end of her lifestyle.
As a younger little one, it was scary to go to (her) Oak Spring Farm estate in Virginia. We would arrive and be greeted by a butler, then sit in the residing place waiting around for her to appear down. It was a formal procedure. As an grownup with small children, I introduced my daughter in excess of and she bolted in the property and ran upstairs. I did the signal of the cross and considered, "This will be the very last time we arrive below." Soon after about 20 minutes I asked if I could go upstairs, and I observed my daughter sitting down on the mattress with my grandmother and laughing.
My grandmother wrote 3 to four letters a day and was a pack rat, preserving all of her letters. I begun studying that correspondence, and it was remarkable to see her globe by the letters and to see the affect of her grandfather, who released her to the outdoor and inspired her to benefit from her expertise, creativity and creativity. It encouraged me to compose the ebook.
Q: For as very well regarded as your grandmother's identify was, isn't it weird that most persons actually know extremely tiny about her?
Lloyd: My grandmother — I called her Granbunny — under no circumstances sought out attention, and that practically created her far more well-known. People noticed the items she would do, but she did not discuss about them a lot, so when she did speak, people listened.
She was incredibly privileged but there weren't a large amount of choices for her. She needed to analyze phase structure and her father claimed "no." She couldn't do that but was supplied the chance to use her wealth to build areas, gardens and homes, she could derive a sense of function by generating issues on her personal.
It was all self-taught. She collected publications on gardening and landscape and was close good friends with designers these types of as Jean Schlumberger and Billy Baldwin. Her fashion was matters she appreciated — she didn't need to have a specified appear.
Q: Can you imagine what she could have achieved if she'd been educated?
Lloyd: She'd be a CEO of a extremely effective architecture and structure company. That is eventually what she would have finished. On a serviette, she could attract out a area and how large the home furniture should really be. She could make, in her brain, a little something from nothing at all.
Huffman: She felt like she was deprived of what she preferred, an schooling in design and style, phase design, but if you glimpse at the pics, she was always setting a phase. The National Gallery of Artwork became her stage, and she would do all of the dinners there, the tables and bouquets. With her, absolutely nothing could be normal. She was born less than that star.
Q: How did Bunny's model change from household to dwelling?
Huffman: You could, truly, irrespective of whether or not it was in the place or the town, see an overlapping style. You knew you were in a Bunny surroundings. The farm at Oak Springs was relaxed but official. There could possibly have been slipcovers on the furniture but there was a uniformed butler answering the doorway and the silver was polished.
In Washington, D.C., and New York, her properties had been far more formal and a small grander in scale but she usually had to have a garden. They all experienced painted floors and contemporary flowers and the artwork was staggering. At Oak Springs there's a Van Gogh above the fire, tucked up on the wall like "here's a minor one thing I have." By no means was nearly anything manufactured to come to feel also cherished.
Lloyd: She made just about every dwelling for the atmosphere it was in. And she was the greatest hostess — unparalleled. On every single mattress for each individual you are greeted with fresh new bouquets and a basket of little gifts.
Q: Bunny's lifetime would seem like a thing out of "Downton Abbey" or "The Gilded Age," intertwined with American record. She experienced her have quiet effect on American lifestyle, didn't she?
Huffman: I have normally been fascinated by the Kennedys, so to meet Bunny was fascinating. Bunny was a lover of gentlemen, not females, but Jackie was Numero Uno. To hear all that Bunny did to make the fashionable White Dwelling what it is today, placing historic pieces back again in. She and Jackie expended so considerably time acquiring people to donate points. Bunny was behind the scenes individual but also was a genuine powerhouse at making and undertaking factors and not seeking awareness for it. Bunny totally designed the White Dwelling Rose Backyard garden but pushed Jackie out and retreated. She thought Jackie essential to acquire credit. Jackie was clever plenty of to enjoy that.
Every little thing she did at the White Property was accomplished for historical significance. She wanted people to take pleasure in the record and what was there when being in a position to adapt to a modern day way of everyday living.
Q: Thomas, you mentioned that you examine your grandmother's correspondence to find out additional about her. So what did you glean from all of that?
Lloyd: I acquired that she was a human currently being like all of us, with flaws and abilities. For yrs, men and women assumed she was a sure sort of individual, seriously stern and aloof, and I would right them.
She was not the most loved kid in her spouse and children. Her sister Lily was more beautiful and she was the unpleasant duckling … so she manufactured her individual route. When she finished the White Household Rose Garden there were adult males in landscape architecture who could not consider she could style this yard on her have. She satisfied with men and women at White Home and described her qualifications. She had to make each little bit of their regard.
