Beck Esquire
Nabbed this from a google cache of the JEFF BECK BULLETIN ISSUE #3, Fall 1994, because the site was down, and didn't want to lose it.
From The Desk Of: Seymour Duncan
Jeff has always been my favorite guitarist and I have many great stories about him. I want to share some of the stories with you and my envolvement with Jeff throughout the years. I want to thank Dick Wyzanski for being the focal point of the Jeff Beck fan club.
The Man: Jeff Beck
The first time I heard of Jeff Beck was the summer of 1965 when I was playing in Bridgeton, New Jersey during a talent show with a local band. The local radio station had been broadcasting live during the performances of the talent show. During intermission from the live music they played a recording by a group that previously had good air play with a recording "For Your Love" and their second hit had a guitar sound I'd never heard before. The song was "Heart Full Of Soul" and was performed by a group from England called "The Yardbirds" and was released July 1965. Their unique sound and incredible guitar work was from a new guitarist named Jeff Beck. He had previously been in a group called the Tridents and joined the Yardbirds by the suggestion of Jimmy Page who had other obligations with sessions and was unable to join the band to fill Eric Clapton's spot. Eric wanted to play more blues and develope his title of "Slow Hand". During the mid sixties I hunted record shops to find and often nag the store owner to order the 45's and LP's. I remember playing in Lima, Ohio and taking along my records to learn all the riffs I could. I was playing every night during the summer and traveling from club to club. I learned "I'm A Man", "The Nazz Are Blue", "Steeled Blues" and one of my favorites, "I'm Not Talking". The greatist thing was seeing the Yardbirds perform on many of the early music shows like Hullaballoo, Shindig, Ready Steay Go and more.
The Guitar:
I noticed Jeff was playing a Fender Telecaster minus the rhythm pickup making it an Esquire. Jeff's Fender Esquire originally had a white single layer pickguard which Jeff later changed to a black phenolic one. He bought the guitar from John Maus, a guitarist with a recording group called the "Walker Brothers" and they had a hit recording "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore". Several years ago John visited my shop in Santa Barbara and he said he contoured the front (forearm) and back of the body to make it feel more like a Fender Stratocaster. He carefully shaped the wood leaving the original paint and exposed Swamp Ash body.
During the early 60's, Jeff Beck was on tour and bought a 1954 Fender Esquire from the guitarist in the group "Walker Brothers". The Walker Brothers consisted of John Maus (guitar), Scott Engle (bass) and Gary Leeds (drums). In the mid 60's the group went to London for a tour. While touring England, Jeff bought it from John for $60. When on some of the very early Yardbirds' videos recorded during a television show, you can see the guitar first had a white Esquire (no slot for a rhythm pickup) pickguard. A short time later on Yardbirds' videos you can see the black pickguard Jeff put on. Jeff liked the contrast and it looked like the Tele's made just a year earlier. You can see the chips in the pickguard and the neck was the third or fourth according to Ralph Baker, Jeff's long time assistant. During the days of youth watching Jeff Beck, Yardbirds and the British Invasion and famouse television shows like Lloyd Thaxton, Shindig and Hullabaloo, I totally became hooked on Fender Esquires. While working in England during the mid-70's, I worked with a technician named Ron Roka, who worked at the newly opened Fender Soundhouse that was originally located on Tottenham Court Road in London. Ron had a custom shop in the Soundhouse and had advertised for a guitar repairman to assist him with guitar repairs and custom work. I was recording during the evenings at Polydor Records with an artist named Chris Rainbow and had days off. My manager Norman Vandenberg read an advertisement in a local paper that Ron Roka (Roka's Repair) was looking for a guitar repairman. The next day I interviewed and got the job. It was a great time working with Ron and meeting all the players that came to visit and have their instruments worked on. I remember working for The Stones, The Who, Robin Trower, Vinegar Joe, Gerry Rafferty, Roy Wood and Wizzard, Sutherland Brother and Quiver, Suzi Quatro, Super Tramp and Beck, Bogert and Appice. During the time at the Soundhouse, I did the first article on Guitar Pickups for Guitarist Magazine in 1974. Jeff was recording the second (unreleased as of yet) album with Beck, Bogert and Appice at the CBS Studios that was a block from the Fender Soundhouse. While at the Fender Soundhouse I put together the first "Tele-Gib" guitar and gave it to Jeff. It was a Telecaster with two Humbuckers. The bridge on the Telecaster was cut to fit the Humbuckers and to keep the 3 piece brass early 50's bridge saddles. The two Humbuckers came out of an old broken Gibson Flying V that once belonged to Lonnie Mack in Cincinnati, Ohio. Somebody messed with the coils and I rewound them as prototypes for Jeff. The neck pickup was Zebra (cream bobbin facing the bridge) and bridge pickup was Double Cream and both were originally '59 Patent Applied For Humbuckers. I made a pickguard for the Tele-Gib out of dark chocolate vinyl plastic. The lever switch knob was from a handfull that I got from an old telephone switchboard during the mid 60's. The same knob was given to Roy Buchanan and can be seen on the cover of his "Loading Zone" album (Atlantic SD 18219). I gave them to Roy about 1966 when he was playing in Wildwood, New Jersey, a shore resort town near the Atlantic Ocean. Jeff started playing and recording with the "Tele-Gib" in 1974 and recorded tracks on the "Blow By Blow" album. One song you can hear him using the volume controls in on "Cause We've Ended As Lovers". The main reason I made and gave Jeff the Tele-Gib was because I loved the tone he had on the "Truth" album. His tech had taken his sunburst Les Paul into a repair shop for volume control problems and when they got to the next gig Jeff rehearsed and he noticed someone put covers on his "Patent Applied For" pickups. He told his guitar tech to remove the covers because the guitar was feeding back too much. When the covers were removed Jeff noticed that his "Patent Applied For" Humbuckers had been replaced with new Gibson Humbuckers. I felt bad when I heard this and I wanted Jeff to have an instrument that had the tone of a Les Paul. I couldn't afford a Les Paul so I made the Tele-Gib instead and gave it to him. Several days after giving Jeff the guitar while BBA was recording the unreleased second album at the CBS Studios, Ralph Baker came to the Fender Soundhouse with a cloth bag with three guitars in it. Ralph said "Jeff wanted you to take your pick." In the bag was a 51 Telecaster, a mid 50's Stratocaster and my favorite guitar, Jeff's 54' Fender Esquire guitar he used with "The Yardbirds". I picked the Esquire because Jeff used it! I remembered the songs like "Heart Full Of Soul", "I'm A Man", "Train Kept A Rollin'" and "Mister You're A Better Man Than I".
During the early touring years, a British singer by the name of Terry Reid was touring with a joint Rolling Stone, Yardbirds, Reid tour. Terry recalls while he was standing by the equipment loading dock, as the back door was opened he remembers catching the guitar (caseless) as it fell from the back of the truck. Terry remembers Jeff doing all kinds of wild things with the guitar.
Jeff could manipulate the volume and tone controls giving it a Wah Wah effect as in "Train Kept A Rollin'" or "Still I'm Sad". The lever switch would give full treble in the bridge position, variable tone control in the center and full bass in the front position. (See schematic) The bridge pickup has slightly staggered poles. The body was made in 1954 and the neck (the original was broken) was replaced with one made in 1955. During the mid sixties, the Yardbirds were touring the midwest and I had a chance to meet the band and see Jeff play and do his tricks. He would lean on the amp, causing feedback and always looking down at his guitar. During another tour, Jimmy Page was in the band and I asked where Jeff was and Jimmy said he left the band. When I asked Keith (Keith Relf was the singer and front man in the Yardbirds) to play "Nazz Are Blue" I heard Jimmy yell out "The Nazz isn't here". So I figured they wouldn't do the song as long as Jeff wasn't there. During that time Jimmy had Jeff's Esquire on tour with them and their roadie named Brian Conliffe let me play the Esquire and I took photos of it. I photographed it at a concert hall in Lima, Ohio called Springbrook Gardens. While there I saw Jimmy playing another guitar and written on the back of it was "Jeffman" and you can see it in some of my photos. I don't know if it was Jeff's guitar as I never asked Jimmy about it. It may be the one that later was used in Led Zeppelin and later painted psychedelic.
Throughout the years i have had much enjoyment building custom guitars and pickups for Jeff and enjoyed keeping his 32 Ford roadster. I have many great stories and info for later fan club articles. Below is a rundown on the 1954 Fender Esquire used by Jeff Beck in the "Yardbirds".

For some reason I cannot stop thinking about my use of the word 'vibe' in class today. Perhaps it is because it was a central part of the role I played in class discussion, or maybe it is because I truly do wonder about the word 'vibe,' but I do want to way that I am going to start this discussion right here with the definition (however weak that may be) with the word 'vibe.'
Oh questions, that they lead to knowledge - and thusly their importance. Who created you question? To where does your legacy point?

More pleasing stereo discovery
Very nice stereo echo reverb sound on Coltrane's
A Love Supreme
in the right channel on Part 3 'Pursuance' into (my favorite) Part 4 'Psalm.' You can hear the reverb-y ring of the saxophone in the distance, almost as if you were in the next room and the saxophone came through muffled. It is also amazing because it brings out different passages of notes strings which are not heard when listening to both tracks. The microphone pick up in the right channel is not directly on the sax part. So 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 becomes 3-44-5-7, and while this might not be the way the sound was intended to be heard, and you are in fact losing sound. It is an very nice experience because it allows you to hear aspects of room and the performance in a more focused way. It gives Coltrane's musical expression almost ghost like presence in the side of your time-head. I recommend it. Also because
A Love Supreme
should probably be listened to in so many, unending ways.
I can hear you over here,

After buying your first firearm, you need to carefully consider where it should be stored. For many people, the answer is a handgun safe. But when you start shopping around, you'll realize there are many different kinds to consider. Where do you start?
The Essentials of Firearm Safes
All safes are different, but many include similar features. When shopping around for a safe that fits your needs, make sure you consider the following:
- Size. There's nothing worse than investing in a safe that's too small. However, buying one that's too large can be a waste of money and space. Take your time when determining the appropriate size and keep important factors in mind. You'll need to determine how many firearms you own, whether you plan to buy more in the future, and where the safe will be stored.
- Protection. A safe is worthless if it can't protect what's inside. When buying a safe, consider the steel thickness and level of fire protection. For more information on these factors, check the steel gauge and fire rating in the owner's manual.
- Lock. What type of locking bolt does the safe have? One thing to consider is how many locking bolts there are. Conventional wisdom advises consumers to purchase a safe with at least four bolts. Another important factor is whether the bolts are on the interior or exterior, what level of thickness they are, and how tight of a seal they create.
- Ease of entry. While you want a safe that's hard for children or intruders to access, it shouldn't prohibit you from using it. Look for a safe that allows easy entry for the owner, while still providing excellent security. This usually means investing in a combination lock.
- Warranty. A high quality safe will come with a warranty. However, just because a warranty is advertised it doesn't mean the safe is fully covered. Many warranties only cover portions of the safe. Review the fine print and try to find a lifetime guarantee if possible.
- Gimmicks. Be wary of falling for marketing or sales gimmicks. The firearm industry is very competitive and companies will use any tactic necessary to increase sales. This often includes "selling" consumers on extra features that don't provide any real value. Look at the top-rated safes to determine which features are necessary and which are superfluous.
How to Buy a Safe
Once you determine what you're looking for, it's time to actually buy the safe. Once again, you'll have plenty of selections to choose from. You can choose to purchase in a firearm specific retail store, at a major sporting goods store, or online. Prices vary greatly— anywhere from a few hundred dollars to more than $10,000—depending on what size you're looking for and which features you want.
When shopping for the safe, it's important to actually see and inspect the safe to determine whether it will satisfy your needs and demands. For that reason, it's best to look at the safe in person before purchasing online. However, it can be helpful to check out online reviews and connect with experts in the field before deciding on which brand or model to go with.
At Springfield Armory®, we are committed to firearm safety and continuing education. When buying a firearm from us, feel free to ask us for more information on purchasing a high quality safe.

When I'm learning a new programming language or framework its important for me to have a project to build. Abstract test cases are nice, but for me it needs to be something that is real. Something that I can and would use.
For rails I've deiced to make a todo list / reminder application. And for a twist I've also thought it would be fun to build this application out in the open.
I've purchased a domain name robsremiders.com, and have also setup a public repository at http://code.google.com/p/robsreminders/. Please feel free to run your own copy, and submit patches back.
Everything I put on my production website will be via the public repository. And I will blog about every application change I make.

I didn't know how things would change with age. I suppose no one really does. It's like becoming a parent. No matter how much you try to imagine what it's like, you just can't. And here are some things I didn't know.

1. I didn't know what thin skin was. I had always seen the veins on some older women's hands but I didn't know it wasn't that the veins grew, it was that the skin thinned. And wrinkled. And dried out. And stretched. And hurt and itched and........
2. I didn't know my hair would get more fine. Not thinner, but more fine. Either way my hair looks thin. Dammit.
3. I didn't know how much I'd want to take daily naps. And how guilty I would feel after a nap.
4. I didn't know how low my boobs would hang after the bra comes off. And I wish I still didn't know.
5. I didn't know how little I enjoy a good walk.
6. I didn't know that everything hurts. Getting out of bed in the morning has become a monologue of "Ohs, Uhs, profanity, and 5 minutes of trying to stand without the knees giving out.
7. I didn't know I would no longer be able to run.........even to the bathroom.
8. I didn't know I would still love cold weather except for the knees and back and skin and etc.
I'm sure there are more things I didn't know. Now I understand why older people consider themselves wiser. Look at how much they have learned that they didn't know.

My 71st birthday was the 7th of July. I have decided I'm a little bit boho. But, sometimes the choices are hard to make. Carol(Melissa) is one of my favorites and her look here is fabulous. But There are so many choices. Part of the meaning of Bohemian is that societal norms are not as important as being an individual who is content with themselves. So more choices.

Do you get up sometimes and want to be classy, fancy, romantic, cute, fashionable, etc? I do. I've always admired a woman who has a "look". But I can't decide what look I could do every day. Also, some of the looks I admire wouldn't be as attractive on an overweight body. I'm not saying that being overweight is unattractive but that some things just don't work as well. For instance, I have a big bust. Always have. And a relatively short neck. So when I look down at scarf or jewelry on my front, large things seem to stand out. Like a neon sign. Maybe viewed from the front they don't look bad, but from up here(eye level) they look too big.

 Then there is the lovely white-haired woman who does a great job with makeup. And with hair style. Things might look entirely different on me, no makeup, short graying brown hair. Love the look, just not on me.

 There is also sort of a problem with me wanting things to wear that are budget killers. Like this simply wonderful pink ensemble with a vaguely Asian flair. I'd give anything to have an outfit like this. I might not look so good in it. But I wouldn't care.

And there is the natural woman. She knows herself well and is able to play to her strengths. I totally envy her.

I'm stuck here making choices and my choices have a lot to do with how I feel about myself every day. My best option I think is to get dressed and look in a mirror. If I smile when I see myself I have a good day. Good choice.

Now that I am 70 years old, I have discovered me. My childhood was not one of those happy healthy experiences. My mother suffered from some personality or emotional difficulties. And then I married a man who had his own set. I thought I was the one who was not healthy and, indeed, that was true to an extent. But the problems I have had all of my life are based on a set of assumptions that make no sense when examined. I thought I was basically flawed. Not so. I am basically good and have a few flaws.

And I thought I couldn't take care of myself and needed the spouse to take care of me. Again, not so. I ended up with a very young man who had problems every bit as troubling as mine. And for a long time I took care of us both. I thought I wasn't likeable or loveable. Don't you know, another falsehood. My young man has grown to love me . We have been together 27 years and we are still strong. I thought love must be temporary. Nope. It can endure. I thought I was stuck with my faults and personality problems. Amazingly, I have found they can be dealt with.

And now I am happy. But I have learned to be happy. Happiness doesn't just drop in one's lap. It has a lot to do with one's view of life. I've been through a lot. And I survived. And flourished. I thought I could go back to situations and change them. Nope. But I don't choose to forget the past. But rather than feeling sorry for myself about difficult times, I choose to look at my survival, growth, learning, and victory as what has made me grateful, happy, and comfortable with me. Boy have I been lucky!

During the holiday period I always look back. Sadly. In grade school I was just hangin in. Just doing what I was told. Some of it was fun, some interesting, and some boring. I was the tallest student in the school. And the most developed. Bummer. I used to head to the woods and try to build little villages with roads and bridges and houses out of sticks. But never any people. And my play inside didn't include people doing things. Only settings.

Junior High was a strange time. I met older boys and there were bigger boys and there were cuter boys and for some reason I thought I had to have one, of my very own. Boy/girl parties happened and they were both nerve wracking and fun. Not particularly comfortable.

High School was worse. I wanted to wear some guy's class ring and go steady so everyone could see that I was special. I didn't know how to attract a boy who wanted something besides an easy time. So I continued to be confused and sort of sad.

In college I found him. The boy who wanted me for something other than an easy time. He was fun, cute, and he liked me. We got lavaliered and pinned and then engaged and married. I thought I had finally won the grand prize. Sort of like the ring on the merry-go-round at the fair. And 23 years, 3 children, and some total breakdowns later I learned the ring wasn't even brass. It was the end of dreams. Where I had once been part of a family, I was alone. Due to my unstable emotions he took the children, the house, and everything else I had. My father and mother were both gone and I had no siblings. All of this happened between Sept 1 and Nov 29, different years. So the season that I loved the most was the season of loss for me.

I now know that the emptiness I felt then is a permanent part of me. I have had 26 years to remember Thanksgivings and Christmases with children, husband, extended family, etc. My holidays now consist of a mean with my partner's mom on Thanksgiving, and a meal with my partner on Christmas. I am aware I could go out and maybe do some volunteer work. But my physical health is prohibitive.

I also know that I am not alone in these feelings. Most, if not all, of the people my age have experienced loses. Some have lost many. Sadness at this time of year is not the least bit unusual. I haven't figured out a way to avoid it. At the same time I haven't let it completely sink me. I just wanted to let a few of you know that there are others out there who are sad at this time of year. And this too shall pass.

I am amazed. I'm 70 now and I don't feel any different. At all. Oh, the back hurts more and the knees hurt more but that happened before 70. If anything, I'm relieved to have reached this advanced age. And I've learned so many things along the way. Such as the fact that thin skin happens. No matter what you do to stop it. Tanning went out for me a long time ago. My dad died of melanoma so no tanning for me. I have lost weight, not due to my own devices. And skin now waves around like eddies in a stream. It's sort of cute, if you like that sort of thing. And some things are harder. I spend a little more time staring at the open fridge or pantry trying to remember what I opened it for. What I wanted to eat. Did I eat already? What time is it anyway? Should I be hungry? Oh, well, I'll come back when I remember.

In some ways I'm more organized. I write things down. Several times. And sometimes I remember where I laid the list. I've tried to keep it near my bag so it goes to the store with me. And sometimes it works.

Little things don't bother me much anymore. My son has gone his own way with wife and kids and doesn't have time for me any more. My response? Their loss. I'm sending gifts to the kids but I'm not in touch with him much. I texted him to text me back Happy Birthday. Finally he did. Some day he'll get his act together maybe. Till then the two girls and my fabulous boyfriend are so good to me.

I've added one fantastic thing to my life. When I was married I had a sis in law and bro in law that I rarely saw. Not my doing. Anyway, 25 years later we have finally gotten together and become family. It seems that my husband was the barrier and we just overcame it. Knocked it down, kicked it aside, and joyfully started getting to really know each other. It has been earth shattering for me. I'm a true introvert and have a lot of trouble socially so having family come back into my life is the best thing ever.

Getting old is not what I thought it would be. I don't have different interests. I still like rock music, and classical, and big band, etc. I still love art. And craft, and reading, and color, and light, and fashion, and anything new I can learn. I still love to go to the mountains, and the lake, and sit by a fire, and smiles and gratitude. My dogs are my kids now. Sometimes they even mind.

I've heard that you grow old because you quit playing. I don't think I'll quit any time soon.

Time passes even when you aren't paying attention. I noticed

 that my face has dents and wrinkles where there used to be none.

I thought I'd hate it. But if Dame Judi Dench can make aging look

this good why should I worry? I had weight loss surgery and after

a 60 pound loss the wrinkles showed up quickly. But I am

valuing them as a symbol of my continued ability to learn

new tricks.

We know that the aging process causes sagging, wrinkles, loss of strength, sometimes forgetfulness and a host of other things that creep in with the years. But, I have found that since my mind still sees me as young, and I have learned a lot, I'm now better than I ever was. No, I don't think smooth skin is a big loss. Yes, I do love looking at young beautiful women and men. But beauty isn't just smooth skin. It's self confidence, a thing a lot of young people don't have. It's wisdom, another thing a lot of young people don't have. And it's freedom. Freedom from being a slave to opinion, fashion, expectation, the need to fit in, etc. And boy am I glad I'm there.

Those of you who have lived a lot of years have probably been through a lot too. I know I have. And somewhere along the way I lost my sense of fun. I had some really bad times during the period of my divorce and I lost a lot. Especially my sense of self. I remember that my then boyfriend/fiance was into having a lot of fun. Fraternity things, trips to the mountains to play, a few parties, etc. But after marriage, things were increasingly getting serious. We had good friends, and did a lot. More of the he and his buddies went out and we wives were supposed to get together and have fun. Right. The one I wanted to have fun with was out with the boys. Anyway, over the years, there were fewer good times and fewer fun times. I suppose you'll say that that is the way it is supposed to be. But I beg to differ. I just don't understand why fun can't be a part of every day life. I have heard that laughter is good for health. Luckily I'm fairly healthy without it. But I have found that fun doesn't just drop on the doorstep. You have to look for it, maybe even work at it. My life is as different now as it's possible to be. Instead of depending on my honey for fun, I'm on a mission to find it and embrace it myself.

 I am 69, almost 70. I definitely qualify for the senior citizen discount. But there is a problem. I can't seem to get my mind to catch up with my years. I don't feel any older than I did 20 years ago. I use that limit because I can't remember back much farther than that. I've heard the statement that it would be nice to know what I know now and be 20. I can't imagine it. I think I'd be crazy.

 There is one thing that has changed about me since I've grown up(old). I don't want to wear the things I wore, think the things I thought, do the things I did, etc. I want to still be new.

The stress comes in when I try to do the new things and think the new thoughts, and dress a new way. But my (old) body won't do those things. Maybe that's why I am still alive. If I figure it all out, I won't need to hang around. If anyone has figured out why they still feel young, please let me know.

I am amazed by how little stupidity I'm willing to stomach. I've heard sayings like-Pick Your Battles-You Only Live Once. But day to day living turns out to be much more than a saying. I've felt as if I don't fit into whatever group I'm around all my life. Now I feel like I'm a group by myself. I've lived in a cliquish society here in the South. Debutantes and women's clubs and sororities and charitable organizations. When in high school we listed the activities in the yearbook. I don't know if there is a resume for those clubs but I suspect there is. Meanwhile I'm still reading and looking and watching to see

where I fit. And I've made a couple of discoveries.

First. I don't need to fit. It's something I thought I must do. Wear the right clothes, go to some nice places, indulge myself in activities. But no! I can wear the clothes I like. I do like going to a nice place once in a while. And I'm in control of activities. I watch Downton Abbey, BBC and other shows on TV that show me how the other half live. I find that when I get up in the morning, I want to dress in a way that makes me feel like I look good-----to me. I want to lose some more weight-----for me.

Bette Davis said that old age is not for sissies. I think I am no longer a sissy.

I'll turn 70 this year. I've had some huge changes in the last year and I'm still going to have to deal with them. But I've also been able to let my thoughts wander some.

Skinny jeans can't be called skinny jeans if the person wearing them isn't skinny. Then they are just tight jeans.

I have had a large bust all of my adult life. I can't imaging putting a big thick bulky scarf around my neck. I'd never see the floor.

I'm going to get a hair cut today. I've been debating about what to do with my mop. I've seen some fashion sites where the models' hair actually looks like a mop. I suppose that, in an effort to look as if there has been no effort, there really has been no effort. I'd feel awful going out without combing my hair and I don't know why it's a good thing.

I've heard that leggings aren't pants. Works for me but why do a lot of young women not get that?

If you wear your jeans/pants below the waist, it makes you look as if you have a big waist. And if your belly, hips, or rear pooches out, you need to get a mirror.

There are uniforms. Tight jeans, boots, scarves, tops, big hair, statement necklace, and a MK bag. It seems everyone's gotta do it up to the age of 50. Sadly I think they should stop at 30.

What sort of statement is a statement necklace supposed to make?

I read fashion books and magazines. I read about a signature look or a signature scent. I've discovered that having ADD is counter to the signature thing. I like change. If I'm in a bad mood I'll wear his cologne.

I have always been a fan of flats. I look like Frankenstein trying to walk in heels. And I have big feet. So the big clunky shoes shown by some of the designers turn me off. Remind me of KISS in the early days.

OK. For years I've been told and have heard that socks with sandals are something old people wear and that they look awful. I still believe it.

I'll be back soon with more on the older person's perspective on fashion.

I am recovering nicely from the bariatric surgery and my weight has dropped nicely. I'm tired of liquid. I'm ready for a steak. At least I thought I was. So I tried some soup with some pieces in it and I have found out that I'm not ready for steak. Or even crackers. I go back to the Doctor a week from Tuesday and I get the dreaded pureed food. One of my friends had a broken jaw many years ago. He's not in love with pureed food. Especially pureed pizza. So how am I to handle the next phase? I'm hoping spices will help. I can imagine pureed chicken in broth with a little curry or some chicken spice. Maybe a puree of crab meat with lemon. Scaring you yet? It does me. I've read that nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. I understand in a way. But right now, I want both.

I have forgotten her name. She lives in California and is a jewelry designer with her own shop. I'm impressed with her because she looks very comfortable in her own skin. She is obviously a beautiful woman and has a style all her own. I've always aspired to that and to exude confidence. I'm not good at it. Even when I seem confident I'm not. I had hoped that by the time I hit 60 I'd be there. Does it ever happen? I'm still waiting.

I'm OK with how things are going on the path to the weight loss surgery. But I have discovered that some of the high protein supplements I'm taking actually taste worse than baby food. I'm taking powdered vitamins that are mixed with water. They are supposed to be orange flavor. They are really cardboard box flavor. I'm really glad there are squirt bottles of crystal light. Also some of the shake mixes are nasty. I've been forced to add flavors there too. But you know, that's actually a good thing. I'll be learning to plan stuff and to take something that tastes nasty and make it taste better. For the first 4 weeks after the surgery I'll be on liquids. So innovation will have to be the order of the day. I've never been good at that. Except when backed up against a wall. I'm glad to announce that I have hit the wall. If anyone has ideas for making any of the supplements taste better, I'd welcome them.

I think there are some ways that we age that are the same in all of us. For example, sometimes we lose people we care about and we must adjust to living without them. Sometimes there are new aches and pains in our bodies that cause our favorite activities to be a little less fun. If our hearing is less robust, the TV gets louder. If we were low energy folks, we don't change into athletes and if we were athletes we don't usually become couch potatoes.

One thing about aging that is universal is that it brings changes. I've been a couch potato for the last couple of years. My overweight body told me that if I don't do something soon to get up and move, I'll be moving into a wheel chair. That may be OK eventually and I do enjoy a good ride. But not now. I spent the morning doing the surgery prep things at the hospital. I've never been poked more, stuck more, or paid out more money before any other surgery.Maybe the insurance companies believe in erring on the side of safety. In other words, covering their asses. If so, I'll admit that it makes me feel much more secure in my choices of late. And I'm looking forward to a new day.

One other thing that has changed for me is that I have a new sister. She is the sister of my former husband. He and she weren't close and when we divorced he told me she didn't want to hear from me and to leave his family alone. Since I'm an only child with no other family I felt the loss of his family terribly. Well, brave girl that she is, she contacted me recently with the idea that we could meet and talk. It's been about 8 months and I can't get over how much her friendship has changed my life. I'm no longer without family. She and her husband are my family and I'm in love with the idea that I can phone her and she is glad to hear from me. It's a little thing but what a great change.

I finally got approved for the sleeve surgery which will occur on Feb. 24. I'm trying to get emotionally ready for it. It only took 6 weeks for the insurance company to realize they are carrying my insurance next year and give the go ahead. So in the meantime, it took 6 weeks for the flooring I ordered to be located and sent to town. It comes tomorrow and is supposed to be installed next week. And I lost a crown and have an appt with the dentist Wed. I hope he'll pull the danged thing. And my honey's grandmother died. And our computer broke down and the repair person doesn't seem to be able to fix it. So my honey, who is a big gamer, has been out of sorts in a major way. So he works in a building with no heat and holes and is on the river and Tues of last week it was six degrees inside and he came home early. No computer. Geesh. It's only Jan 13 and I may be tired of 2014 already.

My refresh button is going to be bariatric surgery. I am waiting for the approval by the insurance company and then it will be scheduled. I hate the fact that I need to have the surgery because I always have a problem with anesthetic. But I hate continuing down the path I'm on even more. I have had a weight problem most of my life. When I was younger I had some control. But now, not so much. And I learned that after you pass a certain body mass index, there is a shift in the hormone balances and it is twice as hard to lose weight and almost impossible to keep it off. So because of the other health issues I have which are aggravated by the excess weight, I'm going to do the surgery.

I am thinking that all of the things I've learned so far say that I need to communicate with others when post surgery. I've joined a bariatric support site on the computer. But I thought I might do well to take my readers on this journey with me. A person can always use support. And maybe someone has been thinking about the surgery and would like to read my experiences. So as I wait for the insurance company to approve me, I'll start sharing my feelings and my activities. I hope for good luck with this step.

I'm having the most confusing time I've had in a long time. I've signed up for bariatric surgery and I'm waiting for the insurance company to let the doctor know they will pay for it and then they will call me and set up a time for the surgery. I've already had a conference with the doctor about the type of surgery and that is set. I've had lots of fluids taken and tested. I've had testing with a psychologist and I'm taking iron and had a vitamin D shot.

I was told to go on a 1200 calorie diet. That's really funny because if I could stick to that I wouldn't have needed to have the surgery. Meanwhile I'm wondering where I should be on the diabetes. And I've been told that I won't be able to take pills after the surgery for quite a while. And I'm supposed to find other ways to take the meds I need. And I'm supposed to be exercising. And that is part of why I need the surgery. Bad back and bad knees limit exercise. I went on a cpap and I'm not needing naps as much during the day. But I'd love to have more of the energy that some folks talk about.

Now for the fun. Iron stops me up so I take something to fix that. It works too well often. The cpap helps with breathing at night so I don't snore but does nothing for the stopped up nose due to allergies. And none of the things I've been doing are helping my memory. I still can't think of words sometimes. I suppose I was expecting too much too soon. I guess I need to be more patient. But I'm 68 and sometimes I become impatient.

Isn't it fun to get old?

I have had to make a lot of decisions in the last few months. I'm 68 now and I don't want the next 10 years to be like the last ten. I've been aware of the lost memory, slowed reflexes, weight gain, decreased mobility and many more things that have happened to me. I am also aware that much of the problems stems from poor behavior on my part.(too sedentary, too much and the wrong foods, etc) But now I am faced with decision time. I'm in the beginning of an upcoming weight loss surgery. There are tons of things to learn and to do. I know there are big changes coming in all parts of my life and I'm going to chronicle these changes on this blog in case anyone is faced with the same things and in case anyone has a health care decision to make. I'm usually not afraid of change but I am always afraid that I can't do something that is difficult. I'm going to reach out for support and I'd appreciate any information anyone has on this surgery.

So much has happened in the last couple of months. I've gotten a reverse mortgage, had a colonoscopy, had a sleep study, and begun the process of signing up for bariatric or weight loss surgery. I am trying to get some painting done, have new wood floors installed, clean out a huge hoarded mess, sell some stuff on ebay, and lose weight I've gained. I feel overwhelmed and I'm noticing that I don't keep up with stuff like I did when younger. So I'm using a program that was put on my computer. It's post its for the computer. And they are great. Since I'm on the computer every day I can list the things I need to do and when they need to be done. And it's right there when I turn the computer on in the morning. This is a case of an old dog using a new trip. Ain't it fun?

I can't count the times I have screwed up in my life. At the time I thought I had screwed up my life but that is actually not the way it worked. I have less contact with some people than I might have but that's OK too. I had a friend I worked with. I felt a lot of love for her and she said she did for me. However, since I'm no longer working with her it has gone. I called a few times. But she never called me. I've learned from that to not count on the things people say but on the things they do.

God knows I've opened my mouth and stuck both feet in up to the knees. I still remember something I said in 1967 that hurt a girl's feelings. It was a dumb thing to do. I've learned never to make fun of something someone has or does.

I've made promises I intended to keep. I worked hard to be a sort of person. I tried every way to remodel myself like I thought I was expected to be. But it doesn't work. Being my true self is the only way. And my true self would sometimes rather be silent than to hurt someone.

I dragged my baggage around after me for almost 25 years after my marriage ended. I find now, after learning the truth about my past from a good source, I can let it go. Things I based my beliefs on were just not true. Things I thought about myself were just not true. Stuff happened then. This is now.

I'm not an outwardly religious person and I have come to believe that the world works just as it should anyway. I must be lucky because often when something was needed to help me survive it has appeared. Things in my life are better now that I've gotten older. I didn't expect that.

 I'm getting older every day. I just had a birthday. And you know what? I don't feel any different. I loved to rock as a young mother and I still do.

I have discovered one of the best things about getting older. My give a ____ factor has dropped considerably. I have a lot of physical complaints but I'm so excited to still be alive that I don't care. As long as I'm able to smile about the ridiculous things that happen with aging, I'll be OK. For instance, I used to drink prune juice just because I like it. See, it's fun to look at things that way. I used to take a nap because I needed it. Now I like it. I used to make the bed to make the bedroom look nicer. Now I do it so the covers don't fall off in the floor. Bending over and picking them up is a pain in the back, literally.

 I wanted to be a hippie. I wasn't sharing a marriage with someone who could get with that program. And this is where the factor comes in. I am no longer married to that person and in fact, am happily with someone else. Rather than throwing away all those dreams, I just put them off and now that I'm not so young, I'm following that road less traveled. It's such an interesting change. Like a breath of fresh air. I cleaned all of the woulda, coulda, shoulda things out of my mental closet and I'm trying for the wanta things.
If I mess up, too bad. I've done it many times before so I know I can get up and fix what's broken. My kids are adults now. They are able to make up their minds about things and I don't have to like it. Well, turn about is fair play. I can make up my mind and not worry either.

One of the things I finally understand is that my mom was also out there a bit. She in no way was the run of the mill mother. Nor did she change when the grandkids came along. Well, this ride I'm on will take me outside of the norm. But then I've never been comfortable trying to be in the norm so that works out. If it hadn't been for several things that have occurred in my life, I would not feel free enough to go with the flow. Better late than never.

Judy Chttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955657476386521012.post-90674342099750394362013-06-26T06:27:00.002-07:002013-06-26T06:27:31.056-07:00Oh the joys

There are times when I think I'm all together. I've discovered the crutches I can use to get by. I've grown up in the ways I can. I've refused to grow up in other ways. I saw a saying that ways getting old is not for sissies. Well guess what! I'm not a sissy. However, I'm a procrastinator in a major way. And I've found that isn't working for me any more. I'm getting old. I thought it was a dirty word. It's not.

I don't fear death any more. When I had my almost 14 year old standard poodle(best friend) put to sleep I saw life cease. End. Stop. And I was devastated. But she had stopped doing anything but sleeping. She lost half her body weight and didn't eat. It's really hard to decided to end another life but I had to do it. In the meantime my life has become more painful and I refer to physical pain. I have diabetes, a bad back and bad knees. I have diabetic neuropathy. I have a lot of fat and I'm tired all the time. That is enough to make me ease off on the fear of the end. But I have a wonderful man who adores me, a dog that thinks I am wonderful, another dog who licks me and loves me, 3 children, 4 grandchildren, and 2 inlaws, and some friends who make me feel needed and wanted.

I also have a sense of humor. And an interest in learning and creating. And a need to caretake and to love others. So I'm still in the plus column in a big way. I also have learned a lot. I try to use the things I've learned and to share when asked. I try to live in a way that is kind to all living things(except ants) and to care for the planet. In short, there are a lot of things left to do. And a lot of giggles to be had.

I've been collecting funny things and I send them to my kids. And I reread them often. Laughter is a fabulous thing. So cleansing.

So there are drawbacks to growing old. But Oh the joys.

So listen, I'm a salesperson. I love to drink wine and cook and eat. I don't have an inside voice and to make it worse I never shut up. This is me holding up a rambutan that I picked up at the public market in Seattle. I like trying new things that don't involve white flour and refined sugar. Is that cool?
I'm from New Liskeard, Ontario and I hated it there so now I live in Edmonton, Alberta. (These are Canadian places if you're already lost.) I started creating paleo messes in 2013 and it has organically turned into this rubbish.
I do the yoga thang, and the living-near-the-mountains snowboarding thang, the trap music thang, and definitely the bone broth thang.
Whyyyy, paleo? I was hella sick and my naturopath told me this would fix me. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, some inflammation issues and the metabolism of a small army. I need good whole healthy food, and lots of it. I mostly use Instagram as a hub for interactions but you can always shoot me an e-mail.
Cool cool cool.

Editor: I am so delighted I can find information as to the meeting times and locations (after the fact) of the varied authorities, boards and commissions of our county in a newspaper article.
The Citizens' Voice ran on Feb. 9: "The county planning commission meets at 2 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month, in the council meeting room of the Luzerne County Courthouse on North River Street in Wilkes-Barre."
It's a shame the county website doesn't have a page dedicated to events and meetings so any event taking place in our courthouse in addition to public meetings of any agency associated with our county could be prominently displayed in chronological order for the current and coming months.
Oh wait, it does. The problem is the people responsible for maintaining that page and keeping it current don't. A division head in our county government, one of the top paid employees, is responsible for scheduling any use of the courthouse yet he fails to assure that information is made public. But beware of confronting the Bureau of Elections as to not posting meetings, they respond (retaliate) by having the entire year's schedule posted, in advance.
The employees involved in this work product recently received merit raises as high as 6 percent. If this is an example of their job performance I certainly do not consider it to be meritorious.
We have been told for nearly two years that all will be corrected when the new website is up and running. A website is not self-sustaining. It requires input and updates from the employees assigned to its maintenance. If the current inadequacies continue they will carry over to the new site all but guaranteeing its eventual demise. But don't worry, that won't be on the event schedule either.

In this day and age of instant gratification, where the newest pop culture water cooler sensations appear across streaming platforms only to get swiftly replaced by the newest en vogue series or film, it's nice to step back and appreciate something that's been a part of the popular lexicon for so damn long. 96 years long, to be precise. F. W. Murnau's German "adaptation" of Bram Stoker's "Dracula," Nosferatu, was released this week, in the year 1922. Upon its initial release, Nosferatu was a raging success. That is, until the Stoker estate caught wind of the flagrant plagiarism. Despite their best efforts, it was too little, too late. Nosferatu was already deeply buried in filmgoers' consciousness, and the haunting visage of Max Schreck as the title bloodsucker has long stood as one of the most terrifying incarnations of the OG vamp, Count Dracula…um, I mean, "Count Orlok."
The film was the first for a newly founded company, Prana Film. Prana was started by Enrico Dieckmann and Albin Grau. Grau was an occult practitioner, and as part of the Fraternitas Saturni ("Brotherhood of Saturn"), Grua took on the name Master Pacitius. The Brotherhood's focus was "the study of esotericism, mysticism, and magic in the cosmic sense." Though they adhered to Aleister Crowley's "The Book of the Law," they did not align themselves under Crowley's leadership. Fraternitas Saturni still practice today and exist as Germany's longest standing magical order. Given Grau's occultist leanings, it was important for him that his films help spread his particular brand of gospel. Prana (the sanskrit word for "vital principle") was set up with that sole purpose, geared solely at producing tales of the occult and supernatural. Basically, it was like the 1920's German answer to Blumhouse. While Nosferatu was a special film that garnered a great deal of success, the road to get there wasn't the easiest. Ultimately, it would be the nail in the coffin of fledgling Prana and cut short their loftier goals of propagating the occult via their cinematic endeavors.
Dieckmann and Grau had a great idea for Prana's inaugural film. The duo just may have gone about it the wrong way, however. They specifically hired a writer to adapt Bram Stoker's "Dracula" without any intent on obtaining the legal rights to do so. Written by Henrik Galeen, who was no stranger to the genre having written 1920's The Golem, Nosferatu quickly went into production. The script was littered with technical directions regarding lighting, camera placement, and acting styles. All of which were followed closely by Murnau. Except for the ending, that is. For whatever reason, Murnau's shooting script was missing the last several pages, so he created his own climax using intricate drawings to relay his vision. In fact, the well-established myth that vampires can't stand a little bit of UV can be traced back to this very film. Murnau used Dracula's aversion to sunlight and made it lethal for Orlok in an attempt to further separate his work from that of Stoker's. Ultimately, the dumb luck of missing script pages helped give birth to one of the most integral pieces of vampiric lore.
That said, if one watches the film today, it's quite clear most of Count Orlok's scenes were filmed in broad daylight. The "fix" was to tint these moments in a dark blue hue upon the initial release. The music was performed live and composed by Hans Erdmann. While a recording was made of the score during a later screening, most of the original recordings have been lost. Nosferatu went on to garner mostly favorable reviews, though some took umbrage with the expressionistic style. And, despite Murnau's best efforts to try and differentiate the film from "Dracula," the marketing department must not have gotten the memo. One of the advertisements proudly proclaimed "Dracula" as the films inspiration.
This faux pas brought about swift and severe legal action from Bram Stoker's widow, Florence. The Stoker Estate sued Prana films. The company declared bankruptcy to avoid the lawsuit as best they could. The judge, however, took a ruthless approach to the case, ruling in the Stoker's favor and ordering every copy of Nosferatu to be destroyed! Yep, all of the original prints were burned, or so it seemed. One copy survived the celluloid witch hunt and managed to make it all the way to US shores. Of course, in the US, "Dracula" was already in the public domain. There was nothing that could be done as screenings of the German import began popping up across the country, terrifying audiences. Nosferatu would not soon be forgotten.
In a somewhat ironic fate, Nosferatu now exists in the public domain where any and everyone is free to use it how they see fit. There have been countless re-editions, including 1930's The Twelfth Hour: A Night of Horror that used deleted scenes and newly shot footage. There have been releases using heavy metal scores, colorizations, an amazing 79′ remake by Werner Herzog, and even a making-of docudrama, Shadow of the Vampire, that sees Willem Dafoe take on the role of Max Shreck…except in that version, the mysterious actor is actually a real-life vampire. In spite of the dealings of an undead Count, Nosferatu has proven its legacy to be quite evergreen. The monster's shadowy tendrils, always reemerging in the darkness of pop culture, are soon to be reimagined yet again with The Witch's Robert Eggers behind the camera.

The NFL's official Twitter account, which has 19.2 million followers, was hacked Tuesday afternoon - and the person who took control tweeted that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell died at the age of 57.
The tweets were quicky deleted, and the NFL confirmed that Goodell was in fact alive and well. Hours afterward, Goodell cracked a joke about the incident on his own personal Twitter account.

Using Instruction:
1. Place the knife sharpener on a stable surface when using. Complete one or both of the following steps depending on how blunt the blades is.
Step 1: Tungsten Carbide
Use this only if your knife is very blunt. Using slight downward pressure, run the blade from its heel to its point through the slot. Repeat three times. Once every six months or as required.
Step 2: Ceramic
Always finish off with this step to remove any burrs that result from the re-edging and rough honing process. Without using pressure, run the blade through the ceramic rods five times. You can also use this step on its own to maintain a sharp blade. It is recommended to do it approximately once a week.
1. Do not use the knife sharpener to sharpen serrated blades or scissors.
2. To avoid damaging the knife, please sharpen the knife slightly and don't sharpen back and forth.
3. The ceramic wheel may discolor. This is normal.
4. Do not put the sharpener in the dishwasher or submerge in water.

Howard coach Kevin Broadus stood at midcourt before last night's tip-off with host Mount Hebron wondering which one of his Lions' basketball teams would show up. Would it be the one that upset Howard County's upstart Glenelg earlier this month or the squad that lost winnable games to Wilde Lake and Atholton last week.
Broadus' answer came in the second half when Howard's hustling seniors took over and led the team to a 48-45 victory over Mount Hebron (8-5, 2-3).
"We lost two tough games in the last week and the seniors knew we needed this one," Howard point guard Mike Brown said. "I think our performance in the second half told you how much we wanted it."

Crime and Historical Novelist
The Judgement of Strangers
The second novel of the trilogy is the story of David Byfield, a widowed parish priest with a dark past and a darker future. Set in 1970 in a commuter village near London, the novel explores the consequences of Byfield's second marriage.
Roth is not so much a village as a suburban state of mind. But the past clings and still has the power to affect the present. The menopausal Audrey Oliphant, churchwarden and spinster, nurses a hopeless passion for her parish priest. Lady Youlgreave slides towards death in the company of her equally senile dogs, Beauty and Beast.
The big house, now a wreck of its former grandeur, has been sold to a pair of hippies, brother and sister, who have their own secrets and their own power to disturb. The vicar's new wife is fascinated by a Victorian poet-priest with local connections - Francis Youlgreave, author of The Judgement of Strangers, opium addict and suicide. And there are the children at the Vicarage: Michael Appleyard, a watchful boy with a taste for Sherlock Holmes, and Rosemary, Byfield's teenage daughter, as beautiful - and as strange - as an angel.
Then the murders begin, and the mutilations, and the echoes of past crimes and blasphemies.
