This article will outline and present the details of our research and current knowledge of the Benjamin and Sarah (Hutchison) Hull family of New Jersey and Lincoln County, North Carolina.
It is probable that Benjamin Hull Sr. and his family had migrated to Lincoln County, North Carolina, by June of 1792, moving possibly from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Virginia. Benjamin, born August 27, 1740, was already over fifty years old, when he acquired his first piece of land in Lincoln County in 1792. Family tradition states that “He came to North Carolina with only a sack of grain on his back.” That may have been his only possession, but we presume that his family was with him or followed soon thereafter.
According to family records, Benjamin’s wife was Sarah Hutchison, who was born in 1749, and at age forty-three, was a bit younger than her spouse when they came to North Carolina. Also accompanying them were their children. The oldest was a son named Abner who was about nineteen at the time. Mary, a daughter, was about eighteen years of age. Two other sons, Benjamin and Richard, were both about seventeen years of age. A younger son, William, about seven, and Sarah, about eight years of age, also accompanied the family. Their last child, Major Hull, was born June 11, 1790 at the time of this migration..
There are several unproven stories surrounding this Benjamin Hull. One was that he was a bodyguard to General George Washington during the Revolutionary War. During the 1920s two individuals wrote to their Congressmen requesting information on Benjamin and his position as bodyguard to General Washington. A confirmation was not forthcoming, but the fact that two different people had this notion lends some credibility to the fact. An article in the Confederate Veteran, Volume 37, 1929, also purports this idea. In other words, it was a very strong family tradition. 2
To this date there has been no positive information to verify this. Another family story is that Benjamin Hull was a bodyguard to Washington, but deserted and fled to North Carolina. There is no proof of this story either, but some older Hulls in North Carolina related that account.
The first verified official record of Benjamin Hull in North Carolina occurred on June 20, 1792, when he was granted 200 acres of land on the fork of Indian Creek on the head of Long Bridge, westerly of the widow Ramsour. Benjamin also obtained other property around Abner Hull, when his first-born was granted land in this location in 1793 and 1794. All of the sons, with the exception of Richard, secured land near their father when they came of age
Another incident regarding Benjamin Hull occurred on January 22, 1798. In the Civil Action papers of Lincoln County, North Carolina, there was a complaint by Henry Ramer against Benjamin Hull Sr., Benjamin Hull Jr., and Abner Hull. It appeared that the Hulls and two other gentlemen, “with force and arms came into the woods near Ramer’s house and did there steal, carry away and kill a certain Barrow hog on the property of Ramer.” Fortunately, they were found not guilty.
By reviewing census records of the state, it appeared that Benjamin and his sons were farmers. Perhaps they were hunters also and mistook Mr. Ramer’s hog for one in the wild.
In 1805 Bangmon [sic] Hull, appeared in Captain Davis’ Company and was listed as owning 1000 acres of land.3 Two Stockstill men—Ezekiel and Warnel and Charles Parker—appeared on this same list [see sons Abner and Richard Hull, below].
In January of 1814, Sally Tucker, five years, six months old, illegitimate daughter of Polly Tucker, was order by the court to be bound to Benjamin Hull, until of lawful age, “to learn the art and mystery of a spinster.” 4
Benjamin Hull Sr. died October 11, 1832 and was buried in Hull’s Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in western Lincoln County. His wife, Sarah, who preceded him in death, had died 20 August 1829, age about 80 years, and was buried in the same cemetery. Before Benjamin Hull died, he gave to his beloved daughter Sally his goods and chattels “for taking care of me in my declining years.” Sally, who apparently never married, was also buried in Hull’s Grove Baptist Church cemetery. The Hull graves are believed to be among the oldest in this cemetery.
The Second Generation
Children of Benjamin Hull Sr.1 and Sarah (Hutchison) Hull
Abner Hull was born in September of 1772, possibly in Pennsylvania, according to the 1850 Lincoln County, North Carolina census. On September 2, 1795, Abner, age twenty-three, married Elizabeth Parker in Lincoln County, North Carolina. She was born about 1780, and was fifteen years old at the time of the marriage. Elizabeth’s birthplace is not known.
On September 14, 1849, Abner Hull, age 77, testified in writing that he was acquainted with a Capt. Moses Moore in Middlesex, New Jersey some fifty-two years before. This places Abner Hull in Middlesex County, New Jersey circa 1797, which is several years after Benjamin Hull purchased land and removed to North Carolina, so there is a date discrepancy here.
Abner died April 4, 1852 and is buried the Abner Hull Cemetery in western Lincoln County, North Carolina. His wife, Elizabeth, who died December 15, 1840, is buried in the same cemetery.
Children of Abner and Elizabeth (Parker) Hull:

2. Mary Hull (Benjamin1)
The elder Benjamin Hull had two daughters. The first was Mary, who was born about 1773 and died after 1870. She married Henry Mull, son of John Mull and Catherine (Whitener) Mull, on February 9, 1807 in Lincoln County, North Carolina [MB].
Children of Mary Hull and Henry Mul
i. Sarah Mull3 married Peter Mosteler
ii. John M. Mull3, born 1812, died 1849 married cousin Margaret Mull
iii. John Harrison Mull3, married Anna Mosteller
iv. William Mull3, married Margaret Peeler
v. Female3, born 1815-1820
vi. Female3, born 1815-1820
vii. Alfred Mull3
viii. Ezra Mull3
ix. David Franklin Mull3
Benjamin Jr., born ca. 1775, married (1) Amy Williams on May 8, 1812, Lincoln County, North Carolina [MB]. Amy was the daughter of Joel and Peggy Williams.
On September 23, 1823, Benjamin Jr. married (2) Selina (Stacia?) ? . No children have been found of this marriage. Benjamin Jr. died sometime after the 1850 census was taken.
Children of Benjamin Jr. and Amy (Williams) Hull:
+i. Mary Hull3, born ca. 1815; married __?__ McFalls.
ii. Benjamin Hull III3, born 03 March 1821; married Anna/Anne Houser. Benjamin Hull’s will: 19 September 1863; proved October 1864. Seven possible children.
iii. Possibly Elizabeth3. born ca. 1821: died after 1880; married 02 January 1849, Lincoln County, North Carolina, Peter C. Hoyle[MB]
iv. Possibly Joel3. born ca. 1821. Lincoln County, North Carolina, married 28 March 1843, Rowan County, North Carolina. Nancy Agner. At least three children.
Richard Hull, also born ca. 1775, probably in New Jersey, according to his descendants and information found in the 1880 census for his sons. He was an adventurous son—the only one to migrate to lands further west. His first wife was Catherine Jeams, whom he married November 2, 1805 [MB] in Lincoln County, North Carolina. His second wife was Nancy Ann Stockstill (various spellings), whom he married April 1, 1807 in Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky.5 Nancy Stockstill was born ca. 1787, in Maryland, perhaps in Baltimore. The Stockstills had migrated to Kentucky ca. 1806.
The History of Perry County, Illinois, Volume 1, 1988 states that Richard and Nancy Ann met in Madisoon County, Kentucky when Richard stopped to supply himself with salt. Nancy Ann’s uncle signed the marriage bond for her. Considering that this is a very recent history, and perhaps not based on verified evidence, it survives as a family story, but may be incorrect.
It has been proven that the Stockstill family and the Hull family lived near each other in North Carolina. Elisha and Zebedee Stockstill were listed in an 1805 Lincoln County, North Carolina court suit involving Benjamin Hull Jr. vs. David Biles, and Ezekiel and Warnel Stockstill appeard on the 1805 list of Captain Davis, as mentioned above. It’s possible that the Hull and Stockstill parents might have known each other, but the children supposedly had never met.
Richard and Nancy Hull lived in Warren County, Tennessee for some time before traveling over 300 miles to live in Perry County, Illinois. Other Stockstill families lived near them in Tennessee at the time. Sarah (Hull) Hammack, the eldest daughter of Richard and Nancy Ann (Stockstill) Hull, and her husband, Benjamin Hammack, had already moved to Perry County, Illinois in about 1829—perhaps her Hull parents wished to join them there.
Richard served as a private in Capt. W. Chism’s company of the Tennessee Militia during the War of 1812. He enlisted September 28, 1814 and was discharged April 1, 1815. Richard was awarded 160 acres of bounty land for his service.
Richard Hull died December 30, 1838. Nancy lived until 1879, and received a pension for her husband’s service in the War of 1812.
Children of Richard and Nancy (Stockstill) Hull:
i. Sarah “Sally,” Hull3 born ca. 1808, Kentucky; died 1890; married Benjamin Hammack.
ii. Rebecca Hull3, born 07 May 1809, Tennessee; died 04 September 1877, Perry County, Illinois; married Samuel Tasker Etherton.
+iii. Zebedee Hull3, born 10 July 1810, Tennessee; died ca. 1854, Dade County, Missouri; married 02 February 1837, Pinckneyville, Perry County, Illinois, Fannie Pyle. At least four children. Served in the Black Hawk War, 1831–32.
iv. Lucinda Hull3, born 09 March 1812, Tennessee; died 2 November 1881; married Abner Rice.
v. Elizabeth Hull3 born 31 August 1813, Tennessee; married 28 May 1833, Perry County, Illinois, William Keeling.
vi. Delpha Hull3, born 23 January 1816, Tennessee; married 06 February 1834, Perry County, Illinois, Samuel H. Eaton.

xi. Nancy Minerva Ann Hull3, born 08 June 1822, Warren County, Tennessee; died 14 February 1911; married Henry Foster Hampleman.
xii. Richard A. Hull3, born 30 June 1825; died 24 December 1850.
xiii. Rachael Hull3, born 31 July 1827, ?Missouri; married, 25 December 1845, Perry County, Illinois, Thomas G. W. Murphy.
5. Sarah Hull (Benjamin1)
Benjamin’s second daughter was Sarah or “Sally.” She was born about 1784 and died in 1869. She is buried in the Hull’s Grove Baptist Church Cemetery, Lincoln County, North Carolina. Sarah apparently never married.
William Hull was the sixth child of Benjamin and Sarah Hull. He was born about 1785. In the 1880 Lincoln County, North Carolina census one of his sons, Benjamin, claims that his father was born in Virginia. In the 1850 Lincoln County, North Carolina census, William claims to have been born in North Carolina, which would have been before Benjamin Hull Sr. purchased land in Lincoln County, so this location is probably incorrect.
William married Catherine Cline on November 8, 1814, Lincoln County, North Carolina [MB]. He died before 1870 in Cleveland County, North Carolina, and is possibly buried in the Mt. Vernon Baptist Church Cemetery there.
Children of William and Catherine (Cline) Hull:
+i. David M. Hull3, born ca. 1815, North Carolina; married Nancy Hoyle.
+ii. Benjamin Hull3, born 4 April 1818, North Carolina; died 22 April 1903; married Mary White.
iii. an unknown female3, born 1810 to 1820.
+iv. Major Hull3, born 5 May 1820, North Carolina; died 1895 Fallsville, Newton County, Arkansas; married Sarah Fanny Pruitt.
v. John Hull3, born 4 May 1825, North Carolina; died 19 July 1885, Moulton, Lavaca County, Texas; married Elizabeth Cline.
vi. William H. Hull3, born ca. 1830, North Carolina; married Sarah Ramsey.
+vii. Jacob Hull3, born 1 January 1831, North Carolina; died 12 February 1915, Moulton, Lavaca County, Texas; married Ruth Jane Thornton.
7. Major Hull (Benjamin1)
The youngest of Benjamin’s children was Major Hull. He was born June 11, 1790 as stated above. In the 1850 census of Lincoln County, North Carolina, he does not give a place of birth.
Major Hull’s wife was Margaret “Peggy” Gross, whom he married 9 February 1824, in Lincoln County. Margaret, the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Gross, was born about 1800 in Pennsylvania and died 28 April 1870 in Lincoln City, North Carolina.
Major Hull left an undated will in Lincoln County and died on 14 January 1856, age 66 years, 3 days. He is buried in Hull’s Grove Baptist Church Cemetery in Lincoln County.
Children of Major and Margaret (Gross) Hull:7
i. Eliza Hull3, born 19 July 1823, North Carolina; died 25 June 1911, North Carolina; married Frank Goode, 07 December 1859, Lincoln County, North Carolina [MB].
ii. George Washington Hull3, born 15 June 1828, North Carolina; died 01 September 1902, Blount County, Tennessee. He married (1) Amanda _?_. He married 15 September 1872, Cades Cove, Blount County, Tennessee, to Mrs. Lucrecia Eveline (Whitehead) Potter. [George Washington Hull later took the name of Alexander Wilson.]
iii. William H. Hull3, born ca. 1828. May have married, 17 June 1858, Cleveland County, North Carolina, Harrill M. Jinks.

+vii. Major Frank Hull3, born 27 October 1834; died 19 January 1929; married 18 February 1858, Cleveland County, North Carolina, Mary Ann Grigg, daughter of Col. P. T. Grigg. He served as a private for the Confederacy in the Civil War. Had eleven children.
+viii. Margaret “Peggy” Levina “Vinnie,” Hull3 born 11 October 1836; died 5 May 1926; married John C. King, 14 May 1866, Lincoln County, North Carolina [MB].
x. Rebecca E. Adaline Hull3, born ca, 1839; married __?__ Rudisill.
2: Editors Note: It is quite common for many families-not just Hull families-to state that they had an ancestor who served as an aide to Gen. George Washington during the Revolutionary War.
3: This amount of land has not been verified by research in the official land records.
4: This Benjamin Hull may possibly be Benjamin Jr., son of Benjamin Hull Sr.
5: While the marriage of Richard Hull and Nancy Stockstill is found in Madison County, Kentucky, the War of 1812 pension record states that they were married in Howard [Hart?] Coun, Kentucky. [Editor’s Note: there is no Howard County, Kentucky]
6: Readers may take note that the unusual given name of “Major” is repeated throughout this Hull branch; other military titles, such as Commodore/Comadore [sic} and Commander were also given to the males in this particular line.
7: Apparently Major Hull also was the father of a child of Barbara Williams, as determined by the Lincoln Co., NC Bastardly Bonds and Records; David William [sic] agreed to support the child.

Physicist turned filmmaker explores hidden histories
Alejandro Yoshizawa explains how oral storytelling drove him to become a filmmaker
- Alejandro Yoshizawa
Alejandro Yoshizawa (BSc’09) is a Vancouver filmmaker and UBC adjunct professor in Theatre and Film, and Asian Canadian and Asian Migration studies. His latest film, the award winning All Our Father’s Relations (2016), will premiere on CBC on September 30. The film chronicles the little-known connection between Chinese immigrants and the Musqueam people, following four siblings – whose mother was Musqueam and father Chinese – as they make their first trip to China in order to retrace their father’s footsteps.
You studied physics at UBC but you’re a filmmaker now. How did that happen?
I always had an interest in history. While my friends did minors in chemistry or math, I minored in history. I took a class called Asian Migrant Communities and instead of writing a paper I made a film about my Japanese grandfather: how he came to Canada, his life during and after the war. That was my first experience making a film and telling a story. After graduating from UBC I ended up getting a Masters in History from Concordia in Montreal, studying under oral historian Steven High at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling.
However, the science skills I learned are very applicable to my career. Having a sense of how optics work, how sound works, being able to follow very detailed technical information, it’s all important.
A lot of your work revolves around family and oral history. Why is that?
You can learn a lot talking to people that you can’t learn through textbooks. You look at primary sources and you read books and they tell you what happened, but not how it felt. Sometimes when you talk to people you get completely different interpretations of events. That’s not a weakness of oral history, but a strength; those differences allow you to discover more, or ask questions you may not have previously thought of. I also grew up respecting elderly people and their stories.
Much of your work also centers on minority communities.
So much history that plays a huge role in our lives isn’t reflected in the mainstream. I remember in school how they’d teach us all about Eastern Canada, Confederation, etc. That really has little connection with us here in Vancouver. I tend to seek out lesser-told stories. It’s also a major theme in the courses I teach here at UBC as well, such as FIPR 469A and ACAM 350.
What do you want to work on next?
My mother is Japanese Canadian, born during internment in Lillooet. My father is from Chile. But I’ve never made a Latino film, a film about Chile, even though my grandmother, Carmen Lazo, was a famous politician in Chile. When she died, I saw all the news stories about her. I’d like to look at her life. I’d also interested in doing more work on Japanese Canadian history. My uncle’s uncle was physicist Shuichi Kusaka, who graduated from UBC and later worked with Oppenheimer. That could be an interesting story!
UBC alumni, do you have an interesting career path, story or hobby you’d like to tell us about? E-mail us and we could feature you on our website.

How good is your eyesight?
Even with 20-20 vision it’s tough to make out the words of the three most important documents in
American gov ernmental history at the National Archives (7th Street and Constitutional Avenue Nw on the Mall; 202-357-5450; archives.gov).
That’s because they were written more than two centuries ago!
We’re talking about the Decla ration of Independence, the US Constitution, and the Bill of Rights-the original documents that set up the US government as a democracy in 1774. If you are visiting on July 4, check out the Patriots in colonial costumes reading the Declaration on the steps.
If you were a member of the Second Continental Con gress in 1776, you were a rebel and considered a traitor by the king of England. You knew that a reward had been posted for the capture of certain prominent rebel leaders and signing your name to the Declaration meant that you pledged your life, your fortune, and your sacred honor to the cause of freedom.
Have you seen the movie National Treasure? It suggests that something is written on the back of the Declaration of Independence.
You can’t see the back but it says “Original Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776” in reverse. Experts say it is actually ink from the top of the front side that has seeped through the parchment to the back.
A lot of people come to the National Archives to do re search. There are tours you can reserve to see how research ers preserve historic documents. You’ll fi nd records here of our country’s civil, military, and diplomatic activities.
Admission is free, but there can be a long wait. To make an advance reservation, visit recreation.gov.

From the Washington Post:
“This stunning debut novel weaves the stories of three lonely people into a lyrical tale of hope and spiritual redemption. The setting, 1950s New Orleans, is vividly evoked, from the sinister streets to the lush gardens. Karen Palmer brilliantly captures the dual nature — repressive and libertine — of this singular city; she subtly anticipates the racial and social changes brought by the ’60s. Palmer has a keen ear for dialogue; she uses the lovely cadences and haunting images of Cajun speech … to great effect.
Much happens — beatings, baptisms, burnings — but the book’s climax comes in a long journey to Cajun country by the threesome, now linked together by the strange workings of fate. Helping each other, they refresh their weary souls. Palmer has written an amazing, inspiring book.”
From the New York Times:
“Harlan Dessonier has just served eight years in prison for accidentally killing his wife in a fit of jealous passion. Bedeviled by the past and afraid to return to what’s left of his family, he haunts the outskirts of other people’s lives. Glory Wiltz is a nurse, a single mother living with her her small son after fleeing a biracial marriage. Father Frank Doyle is a Roman Catholic priest on the lam from his diocese in search of spiritual rejuvenation. Stir them all together in the cauldron of 1950s New Orleans and you’ve got Karen Palmer’s powerful first novel All Saints — a gumbo of sex and blues, religion and death, racism and revenge.”
“Richly atmospheric, tenderly imagined, beautifully told.” — Boston Globe
“All Saints has its roots in New Orleans, its heart in the theology of the Roman Catholic Church, and its soul frequently in the clutch of demons.”
— Portsmouth Herald
“Taut, vivid.” — Entertainment Weekly
“Impressive.” — Baton Rouge Advocate
“Palmer masterfully plots a tale of love, passion, suspense, forgiveness and self-discovery.” — Denver Post
“Beautiful.” — Rocky Mountain News
“Highly recommended.” — Library Journal


The Adventures of Jack & Dobbie
The Adventures of Jack and Dobbie is a series of six children's books from author Shirley A. Scott. The tale focuses on two Chihuahuas.
Jack's real name is Hijacker, and Dobbie's real name is Diablo. Somehow, the names Jack and Dobbie just seemed like a better fit for the canine companions whom Shirley and her husband Ray have adopted.
With the passage of time, the two Chihuahuas form a bond and embark on a set of adventures that readers both young and old are sure to enjoy.
Jack the Chihuahua
Jack has papers that say his real name is Hijacker. He does not really look much like a hijacker, so everyone just called him Jack.
Shirley and Ray's son was all grown up and they were lonely, so they brought Jack home to live with them.
Jack liked the weekends because they stayed home with him, but during the week, the grownups had to go to work. Shirley was the last one to leave every day, and Jack would always follow her to the door with big, sad eyes.
What if Shirley & Ray could find a friend and playmate to keep Jack company?
Dobbie the Chihuahua
Dobbie was treated badly by his former owners, who finally locked him out of his house in the cold of winter.
He had to live outside on his own for five months, so he hid under trees and ate whatever he could find. Dobbie learned to fear everything, especially wind and thunder.
When Shirley & Ray brought Dobbie home from animal rescue, he was confused by his new surroundings and would not eat. Would he adjust to his new home and his new family?
Shirley A. Scott, Author
Jack came to live with the Scotts because his former owners were moving and could not take him along. Jack followed Shirley constantly and seemed very lonely, so they adopted Dobbie from a pet rescue organization.
Dobbie had been abused by his former owners, and had many behavior problems and insecurities. Shirley & Ray knew it would take a great deal of patience and love for Dobbie to adjust to proper care.
Shirley and Ray were also faced with not knowing if Jack and Dobbie would be compatible with each other in the long term. As it turned out, Dobbie was the perfect playmate for Jack, and the Chihuahuas have brought the Scotts much joy.
The author is writing this book series to share with others the natural interaction and often amusing antics of the two newest “members” of her family.
Scott and her husband, Ray, share ten acres with their two Chihuahuas, Jack and Dobbie.


Gruppo Alle Fonti
Istituto di Psicosintesi
Giovedì 14 Settembre 2017 - Domenica 17 Settembre 2017
We invite you to Casa Assagioli. to participate in the unique experience we will create together during the International Meeting.
This experience is unique because it combines different opportunities:
Through the years, we have witnessed the International Meetings at Casa Assagioli providing a strong boost for participants to develop their own activities, projects, and paths. The experience of past meetings shows the many ways Assagioli’s work inspires individuals, existing groups and new initiatives around the world.
You are invited to come and co-create the meeting, bringing all your curiosity, openness and will to Firenze, to the wellspring of Psychosynthesis. You will leave being more at home with yourself (and your Self) and inspired to offer your own gifts to a hungry community back home!
About Gruppo Alle Fonti and the Assagioli Archive
Late in his life Roberto Assagioli organized, with the help of different collaborators, an archive holding articles, lectures, and lessons on a wide range of subjects, now calledArchivio Synthesis (the Synthesis Archive).After Assagioli’s death, many of his small notes on Psychosynthesis were sorted, compiled and organized by Piero Ferrucci into subject areas, placed into folders in 84 boxes: this is the Archivio Studio (the Study Archive).
In 2006, during a structural renovation of the building, a great amount of material previously uncatalogued was found in the attic of the building. This treasure corroborates Assagioli’s wide range of interests and initiatives. This inspired us to create a group that would work to preserve and promote the material.
Thus a new group was founded: Gruppo Alle Fonti della Psicosintesi (literally, Group at the Wellspring of Psychosynthesis). Since its creation, our group has worked on the cataloguing and archival work; it organizes visits to the house and holds national and international meetings. More recently we also launched the Online Archive (www.archivioassagioli.org).
In addition, because Assagioli was a keen reader, his library holds a large collection of volumes of great historical and academic value. Using the Dewey Decimal System, Gruppo Alle Fonti has reorganized the Library into language and subject sections, making the books easy to browse and check online.
Members of Gruppo Alle Fonti are trained members of the Istituto di Psicosintesi founded by Roberto Assagioli. We meet in Casa Assagioli every month for a whole weekend. We come from different backgrounds, cities, countries and paths of life, but we serve on this project with the same purpose and dedication.


Books can provide great inspiration when decorating your home. I wanted to share with you a list of the books that I own which I use most frequently. I love them all but some more than others as I've mentioned below. I've bought them all off Amazon so hopefully you can also find them on there (if you are not in the UK). The books are listed in no particular order.
by Serge Gleizes
This is the most recent book that I bought. It was recommended in a magazine. It is absolutely beautiful. Laduree's brand and books are highly successful around the world. The unique ribbon-tied packaging and 3-sided pop-up make this a special gift.
Laduree's style is distinctive and recognisable.
by Ben Pentreath
I love this book. London-based architectural and interior designer Ben Pentreath presents a major new survey of the best of the English style.
Eighteen homes, many of which have never been previously photographed, provide the source material for his wide-ranging investigation of this classic look.
The houses include Ben's own homes in London and West Dorset, alongside those of Earls and artists, writers and architects, book designers and gardeners.
The book is arranged room by room and Entrance Halls, Living Rooms, Kitchens and Dining Rooms, Bedrooms and Bathrooms are considered in turn, together with simple Rooms of Utility and spectacular Rooms of Display. The book begins with an essay on the English style in decoration and ends with a style directory.
by Barbara and Rene Stoeltie
Interiors specialists Barbara and René Stoel tie chart the evolution of interior design from the 17th century to the present day.
They introduce 34 significant designers from the last 400 years along with the elements of their legacy that remain relevant in interior design today .. The photographs provide a visually evocative overview of the designers key works, illustrating the overall impact of the room and the details that make each space memorable.
Favourite Farrow & Ball books
The following three books feature Farrow & Ball the iconic brand of paint that began in the 1940s as a small firm based in Dorset specialising in paints made in the traditional way with traditional ingredients. I find all three of these books to be very useful and have even designed a fitted wardrobe based on a picture in one of the books. The use of colour in the photos is superb and you will find plenty of ideas for your own home.
by Brian D Coleman
Farrow and Ball is a leader in the luxury paint and wallpaper market. Offering a unique historical colour palette, stunning depth of colour, great coverage and a wide choice of finishes, Farrow and Ball products are found in many of the world's most exclusive properties. In this book, Brian Coleman hosts a tour of cottages, castles, lofts and beyond, that illustrate how paint and wallpaper are paramount to a room's overall design and feel.
by Ros Byam Shaw
This book is very useful and informative. It features a fabulous range of homes from all over the world e.g. an Italian palazzo, a converted factory in Paris, the attic of an Amsterdam canal house, or a family home in Southern Germany. The book is divided into three main chapters: Classical, Country, and Contemporary. Under these headings, each of the 18 locations is presented as a case study. In addition, spread throughout the three chapters are ten informative Decorating Principles, containing discussion and analysis of a decorating concept that one or more of the locations illustrates particularly well. Highlighting the different effects that can be achieved with colour and pattern, the focus of the Decorating Principles is on enabling the reader to adopt and adapt these concepts and put them into practice in their own home. At the end of the book there is a glossary of Farrow & Ball's versatile neutral colour palettes and information on how to choose the right type of paint.
by Ros Byam Shaw
Despite its success, Farrow & Ball has stayed true to these origins. It is the quality of the paint, with its exceptional depth and subtlety of colour, that has made the company famous worldwide. Divided into chapters according to style, including Classical, City, Modern Country, Cottage and Country House, the first part of the book shows Farrow & Ball paints and wallpapers in a wide range of unusual and beautiful interiors. Part Two of the book is devoted to colour. Each chapter explores a particular palette and shows how colour can be used to create atmosphere, character and charm.
Two further books books by Ros Byam Shaw that I have recently purchased are:
by Ros Byam Shaw (2005)
In this book, Ros Byam Shaw looks at the many different ways we can furnish and arrange an old building to suit today's needs, whether it be a terraced townhouse or a converted factory.
Exploring properties as diverse as a small Victorian townhouse and a former country dairy, she reveals how the design of each home has been reinvented for the 21st century.
I like the way that the book is divided into a series of key styles: 'Period Piece', 'Urban Chic', 'Rustic', 'Recycled Spaces' and 'Country House'. Each section includes ideas for furniture, lighting, fabrics, colours and finishing touches appropriate for the particular style of interior.
by Ros Byam Shaw (2014)
This is Ros's latest book, published in April 2014. It is a book about interiors that will amuse and inspire in equal measure, and about people whose creativity, rather than wealth, informs their take on interior design.
This book visits the homes of artists, designers, antiques dealers, furniture makers, florists, writers, gallery owners — people with a strong sense of the visual and the courage and flair to be original. She looks at 18 different homes in a wide variety of styles, from a tiny cottage packed with circus memorabilia to an elegant country house full of stuffed animals.
None of the interiors featured are at the extreme end of eccentricity but all of them provide a multiplicity of inspiring ideas, whether through their vibrant mix of colour and pattern, their imaginative use of space, their witty juxtapositions of old, new, upcycled and homemade, or their novel and eye-catching ideas for display.
by Sally Coulthard
Character comes from a variety of sources, some from the property itself and others from the people who live there, while the act of bringing character into a home is a layering process, one that starts with the bones of the building and finishes with the decor the human element.
In this new book, interiors expert Sally Coulthard explains just what it takes to turn an uninspiring space into a personality-packed home, whether it be cottage, an apartment or a modern family house.
The layout of the book is excellent - each chapter focuses on a particular element for example, the importance of family and loved ones, and making an interior feel like a social space and explains why this element matters and how to bring it into your home.
by Ronda Rice Carmen
I love this book as I am fascinated to know what sort of houses the well-known designers live in! This book is a guided tour through the houses of renowned designers, who share their thoughts on gracious living and how they bring their professional philosophies home.
The dwellings range from chic apartments and luxurious estates to charming country homes all over the world.
The book's conversational tone and practical tips from these experts provide a referential approach to creating a highly personal place, from favourite sheets and pillows, how to create impromptu dinner parties, to the decorative details that bring a room to life.
by Abigail Ahern
This book is one I reach for most frequently. Forget perfection - Decorating with Style gives you the confidence to take risks with interior design, embrace what you love and fill your home with infectiously fabulous stuff: comforting, inviting and imbued with personality. According to Abigail, the most successful homes always have an element of the unexpected. This is a good thing to remember when designing your interior. Good taste is wonderful, but without a touch of eccentricity - some tension between spontaneity and rigour, refinement and rebellion - beautifully co-ordinated rooms can leave you cold.
by Annie Sloan and Kate Gynne
I love all the books that Annie Sloan has published, especially those that teach you how to use her fantastic chalk paint.
This book promotes an understanding of colour principles and describing how colours work and is a source of practical advice and positive ideas for creating floor-to-ceiling decorative success. The book teaches you how to use colour effectively.
by Judith and Martin Miller
This book shows how best to capture a sense of the past by using a combination of imaginative flair, historical knowledge and practical expertise. It includes ideas for every period of interior decoration and for every style. It also includes a directory of suppliers.
by Kelly Hoppen
This book is a source of inspiration and advice for anyone undertaking home design or redecoration, whatever the scale or budget. Kelly explains how she works and offers creative solutions for every aspect of design and decoration - from evaluating and reconfiguring space and layout, to planning the lighting, choosing materials and furniture and adding individual touches. She considers every element of a home – from walls to windows, floors to doors, stairs, lighting and more — giving you the know-how to make informed decorating decisions and think beyond the obvious solutions.
by Michele Lalande
I absolutely love this book. It contains 29 all-new homes, decorated in the modernised, eclectic version of Pompadour décor that has become so popular in this young century. The resulting blend of ostentatious luxury and repurposed treasures, the natural and the manufactured, is a warm, lived-in style that perfectly embodies the comforts of home.
A Guide for Introducing the all-important details into your home from one of the world's most respected and influential interior designers
by Nina Campbell
This is a recent purchase and I really love this book. It focuses on introducing all-important detail into the home, whether in the form of texture, colour, lighting, art, flowers or other finishing touches. This book features the private homes of Nina's clients, ranging from a city pied-a-terre to a large family home, from a chic apartment to a country bolt-hole, all designed and decorated to suit a range of lifestyles, but all reflecting Nina's infallible eye for detail.
by Christina Strutt
I bought this book a few days ago (May 14) and it was a great buy. It tells the story of how Christina founded the fabric company Cabbages & Roses and grew it into a lifestyle brand.
Christina talks about her inspirations and influences, and how she works these into her products. We see her London apartment and behind the scenes at her family home in the Bath countryside.
This 600-year-old cottage is the backdrop for constantly changing interiors — it is where Christina designs her fabrics, experiments with her new wallpapers and gathers all her favourite antiques, inherited gems and newly sourced vintage acquisitions.
In addition, Christina shows us a selection of other homes and lifestyles she finds truly inspirational, including those of Brigette Buchanan, of interiors company Odd Limited and Maureen Doherty of Egg interiors store. In fact I know Brigette Buchanan as I bought three vintage Peruvian rugs from her (Odd Limited) — see the posts on my blog relating to my stairs revamp.
by Andrew Hollingsworth
I am trying to learn more about mid-century furniture and I bought this book to learn about Danish furniture.. Twentieth century Danish furniture design is simple and clean, mixes well with other design styles, and has an inherent value and history beyond its beauty. In this book, the author explores the history of Danish design, from the earliest cabinetmakers' guilds in the 1770s through the impact of two world wars, and its evolution into the twentieth century. Through beautiful photos, the book emphasises how well Danish Modern furniture works in contemporary and traditional homes. It includes a market guide with tips, facts and resources that discusses veneer vs. solid wood, places to find Danish Modern furniture, and how to care for it; and an extensive resource section.
my favourite books: flowers and plants
by Shane Connolly
This book is an absolute must-have; it is so inspirational and the photos are superb. It shows how to bring the outside in and how to make even the simplest arrangement.
Everyone should have a copy! The book is split by the four seasons. Flowers in urban and country settings are shown, with useful information on growing techniques and recycling, preparation tools and containers. Shane Connolly has many high-profile and international clients and works by Appointment to HRH The Prince of Wales. He designed all the flowers for the Royal wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in April 2011.
Given that I only have three square feet of outdoor space and window ledges, the following two books are particularly useful!
The Balcony Gardener: creative ideas for small spaces
by Isabelle Palmer
I really like this book. Discover how to make the most of your gardening plot, however confined, with Isabelle's creative and inspiring projects, including creating a cocktail window box from which you can make your own delicious fruity drinks, recycling containers such as wine and fruit crates, and creating a country garden in the smallest urban space. You can also turn your balcony, roof terrace or patio into an attractive space to dine and entertain with stylish lighting and furnishing ideas.
The Edible Balcony: growing fresh produce in the heart of the city
by Alex Mitchell
I used this book last year to grow some herbs and salad leaves in my tiny three-square feet of outdoor space. The book mixes inspirational ideas with practical advice on how to achieve beautiful, flourishing outdoor areas however many floors up you maybe and however small your space. Here are some creative ideas in the book - create a salad cascade using guttering and grow beans and tomatoes on a hatstand !!
by HRH The Prince of Wales and Bunny Guinness
I can only aspire to have a garden like this!!! However I can still enjoy the book and it's a must for anyone to buy who loves English gardens. It is a commemoration of the beautiful, mature gardens planned and planted by The Prince of Wales over 30 years ago.
The gardens at Highgrove evoke intense emotion. In January, the dramatic light and early snowdrops of the Stumpery are exquisite; the glistening emerald lawns and tree blossoms in Spring lift the spirits with a promise of what is to come; in Summer, the longed-for delphiniums in the Sundial Garden stand proudly to attention and dramatic leaf colours welcome Autumn to the Arboretum as the harvesting in the Kitchen Garden begins. In Winter the structural elements of the garden have their moment of glory as the year comes to a close and the cycle of the seasons continues.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs that capture both the light and detail of this magisterial space, this beautiful book will delight and inspire gardeners of every level. It is an exquisite celebration of garden design, passion and inspiration.


You can play Alan Wake 2 on the Steam Deck in a couple of ways, one includes the Heroic Games launcher and a few driver tweaks and the other is via GeForce NOW.
Running it locally on the Steam Deck leaves a lot to be desired though.
1 - Change the Steam Deck UMA Buffer to 256M. To access the Steam Deck bios settings you need to power off the Steam Deck, then power the Steam Deck on while holding the Volume up button. When you hear the Deck boot sound, keep holding the volume up button but let get of the power button and you should see a screen like below.
2 - Go into the Setup Utility Option
3 - Select Advanced
4 - Set the UMA buffer to 256M
5 - Save and exit using the button on the left of the Steam Deck next to the D-Pad
6 - Start the deck and enter Desktop Mode
7 - Search and Install Heroic Game Launcher in the Discovery Store
8 - Login to your Epic Games Account in the Heroic Games Launcher or log out and back in if your library doesn't update
9 - Install Alan Wake 2 from the library in the Heroic Games Launcher
10 - From the Settings menu on the Alan Wake 2 Game page access WineTricks
11 - Select the Default Winprefix and select ok.
12 - Select Install a Windows DLL or component and click ok
13 - Select d3dcompiler_43, d3dcompiler_47 and vcrun2022, then click OK - There may be some warning pop ups during the install, just click ok to dismiss them. Once the installation is complete. The winetricks window will appear again, you can cancel out of all of the screens.
14 - Add Alan Wake 2 to Steam using the 3 dots in the top right of the game page and select Add to Steam
15 - Now you can return to Game Mode and launch Alan Wake 2 from your Non-Steam section of your library and you are good to go.

The View From Lookout Mountain
– ABOUT THE PROJECT
Canadian abstract artist Carla Tak has extraordinary vision for seeing how paint, colour, line, form and (most key to the rest) emotion can all come together to create compelling works of art. In her series of prints called The View From Lookout Mountain, Tak is referencing a wild spirit but also presenting her own vision of how she sees, and feels, her place in the order of things. Carla’s work is a web of intrigue that draws you in,
“Tak’s intriguing collection of rough and raw monochromatic prints in Lookout Mountain are an epic journey into self exploration. The work is a window into Tak’s wondrous private world, an engrossing cosmology of shapes and markings and rhythmic passages that ripple and roam through each piece. The contrast between Tak’s rich black web of markings and the purity of the surrounding paper lends the images an air of zen spiritualism, as if a centering device to allow some deeper sense of presence. The series draws on Tak’s impressively coloured Mulholland canvases but the limited edition prints – purposefully stripped of colour – have a more intimate and meditative aspect. The work merits close attention and slow reading.
– Barry Dumka
The View From Lookout Mountain
“Ask anyone where the craziest people live and they’ll tell you California. Ask anyone in California where the craziest people live and they’ll say Los Angeles. Ask anyone in Los Angeles where the craziest people live and they’ll tell you Hollywood. Ask anyone in Hollywood where the craziest people live and they’ll say Laurel Canyon. And ask anyone in Laurel Canyon where the craziest people live and they’ll say Lookout Mountain. So I bought a house on Lookout Mountain.”
- Joni Mitchell
In 1969, Carla Tak, then 15, left Vancouver for Los Angeles, opting to live with a sculptor boyfriend 20 years her senior. The relationship, a tangle of precocious intelligence and competing wills, didn’t last. But Tak adopted LA and its 1970s-flavoured grit and glamour, its restless spirit, as her own. For the next 20 years plus, she lived in the city and while her art practice didn’t begin until she returned to Vancouver, LA got under her skin and stuck to her senses. Her memories of that period are a storehouse of her early psychological growth, the journey of self awareness that eventually led her to embrace abstract art as a tool for self reflection and personal growth.
For her new collection of limited edition prints titled The View From Lookout Mountain, Tak makes a deft metaphorical association to the geographical source of so much of the 1970s rebellious creative spirit. Joni Mitchell’s home on Lookout Mountain, and the whole of Laurel Canyon, was a creative arcadia of independent artists determined to break free of commercial expectations and tell a more personally expressive story. The art that emerged was strong-willed, moody and psychologically fraught. The thrilling emotional spirit of that place and period still resonates.

Predicting the Influence of Digital Leadership on Performance of Private Higher Education Institutions: Evidence from Malaysia
This paper aims to investigate the impact of digital leadership on the institutional performance of private higher education institutions (PHEIs) in the digital era. Supported by the Resource-Based View Theory and the digital leadership dimensions based on the International Society for Technology in Education-Administrators (ISTE-A) standards, the study examined the roles of visionary leadership, digital-age learning culture, professional excellence, systemic improvement, and digital citizenship influencing the performance of PHEIs in Malaysia. An online questionnaire survey was adopted, and a non-probability sampling method utilizing purposive sampling was applied. A total of 121 usable responses were collected from leaders in Malaysia PHEIs and analyzed based on structural equation modelling via the SmartPLS 3.3. The results showed that digital-age learning culture, professional excellence, and digital citizenship positively affect the PHEIs performance. However, visionary leadership and systemic improvement do not have a significant positive relationship with performance. The findings provide information to future researchers and leaders in PHEIs on the vital roles of a digital-age learning culture, professional excellence and digital citizenship in today’s institutions. The novelty of this study contributed to the body of knowledge in digital leadership and performance in the context of PHEIs in an emerging market.
Keywords: Digital Leadership; Learning Culture; Professional Excellence; Digital Citizenship; Higher Education Institutions; Performance

(from Church of the Customer) Of all those who have waded into the waters of understanding, theorizing and explaining the nature of business, Peter Drucker was the greatest. The Mt. Rushmore of management theory.
My two favorite Drucker aphorisms:
* "The purpose of a business is to create a customer."
* "Business has only two basic functions: marketing and innovation."
I've read a half dozen books by Drucker throughout my career. Usually fascinated by his assertive style of writing borne of a career as an executive in one difficult business after another. Drucker was an odd sort of humanist who believed that everyone needed a goal in life. His writings were maligned in the 70s, revered in the 80s, and forgotten in the 90s.
As so many of the great minds of the last century pass, you have to wonder who will take their places?

|Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks|
This book is about a young lady who finds a message washed up on the beach in a bottle. She tries to track down the author of the letter because of how moved she was reading the letter. It is about their story. Of course I cried and was touched on how the book ended. You just never know what path life will send you down and you should always grasp on to the people you love...always.
I was very pleased with this book. Now on to the next book....A House of Night Novel "Marked" by PC Cast and Kristin Cast
