Because Londonist was riddled with gremlins over the last couple of days we're going to catch up with a little weekend posting. Londonist: hiding from the fiery disc in the sky so you don't have to.
There seem a few less planes dotted about over the Londonist HQ this morning. Must be because London City Airport is going ga-ga over a more grounded form of transport:
London City Airport will be closed to air traffic on Saturday as it hosts a speed challenge attempt. Some of the fastest cars on the road will battle it out on the runway to set London's land speed record.
London has a land speed record? Still, the only way to get our attention when it comes to this kind of thing was if the airport was still open as usual. Drivers dodging the wheels of Flight OI812 from Luxemburg would be interesting.
Topping the bill are a Ford GT, a Mercedes SLR MacLaren, a Porsche 911 and a Corvette Z06.
Car enthusiasts will probably find that groin-stirring, but we grew up playing Spy Hunter in dark Northern arcades - if a car can't turn into a speedboat and fire missiles we're not interested. Autocar mag reckons that "it's as much a test of braking performance, not least because the runway ends in a dock.".
If anything explodes we'll let you know.

The truth is that I've been working like a dog for the past couple of years and today I realized that the capitalist side of my personality was initially formed by multiple viewings of movies about work. Here's my cinema MBA.
1. Secret of My Success
During the 80's I had a fantasy every guy at my future office would look like Michael J. Fox. I also learned the importance of doing market research from this movie and how not to behave at a corporate retreat.
2. Working Girl
I learned that great ideas can come from tabloids and that MBA's don't use tabloids to generate new ideas and therefore, reading gossip can be a great way to get ahead in business. I also learned that shorter hair makes you look more professional.
3. Swimming with Sharks. This taught me how to deal with a bad boss. I won't reveal my secrets here.
4. 9-5. Align with the ladies to beat the boys.
5. The Devil Wears Prada. I always side with Miranda Priestly in the movie. It's okay to be a decisive powerful and influential woman. Anna Wintour is really my real-life role model.

GlerAkur is the moniker Icelandic composer and sound designer Elvar Geir Sævarsson has chosen to represent the unique cinematic music he creates apart from his engagement as a sound engineer at the National Theater of Iceland. Icelandic for 'Glass Field', GlerAkur draws inspiration from post rock, drone and ambient music, as well as black and doom metal, blending and bending sound into hypnotic waves of dreamlike atmosphere that Rolling Stone hailed as 'brutally irresistible', calling for comparison to 'Metallica covering the live half of Pink Floyd's 1969 album Ummagumma.'
"The Mountains Are Beautiful Now" is the debut full-length from GlerAkur, following the release of 2016's introductory EP, "Can't You Wait", which was nominated for an Icelandic Kraumur Award, chosen by the country's top journalists and radio hosts and bestowed annually to the best albums released in Iceland (see Björk, Sigur Rós). Written for and inspired by The National Theatre of Iceland's 2015 production of the play "Fjalla-Eyvindur & Halla" by Jóhann Sigurjónsson, "The Mountains Are Beautiful Now" was recorded with four guitarists, two drummers and a bassist in the basement bar at the Theatre.
"Fjalla-Eyvindur & Halla" made its debut in 1911. It was one of the first Icelandic plays ever written and the first piece of Icelandic literature since the medieval Icelandic Sagas to gain significant recognition abroad. Moreover, it was the first play in the country's history to be translated into other languages, among them German and English. Being a play of so many firsts, it is no wonder that Sigurjónsson's work so strongly contributed to the formation of Iceland's unique cultural and national identity. At its very heart, "Fjalla-Eyvindur & Halla" tells the ever-repeating story of how human beings are destroyed by the grinding forces of society, nature and love. The play's Herculean storyline is the perfect partner to the thunderous, skyscraping sound of GlerAkur.
Perhaps Rolling Stone said it best when describing GlerAkur, saying "What seemed at first to be huge, gray slabs of unrelenting distortion proved, over a full set's exposure, to be four guitarists issuing multiple, weaving strands of sustain and harmonic feedback, resolving into slow-motion melodies hammered into the air by two drummers."

How to select and cook with carrots.
Carrots are available year-round in North America. The carrot has a sweet flavor and is one of the most popular versatile root vegetables. Carrots may range in length from 2 inches to 2 or 3 feet but are generally 8 to 9 inches in length when harvested to sell as fresh market carrots. Carrots are also a good source of other nutrients, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin A, and folic acid.
Carrots: They're not just orange anymore. Look for golden, white, and red carrots at farmers markets and specialty grocery stores. Carrots are second only to beets in sugar content for vegetables. A good rule of thumb for both: the darker the color, the sweeter the flavor.
How to Buy & Store Carrots
Look for firm, stiff, unbending carrots. Any give shows a sign of age and "wilting." If you buy carrots with the greens attached, look for fresh, bright green tops. Once home, however, remove the greens and store the carrots loosely wrapped in plastic in the fridge. Fresh carrots will last up to a month if properly stored.
How to Use Carrots
Carrots are great scrubbed clean and eaten raw (no need to peel young, fresh carrots - their peel is thin and tender.) They can be cooked using many different methods, such as boiling, steaming, sautéing, roasting or grilling. When cooked, carrots are eaten as a side dish on their own or cooked with other vegetables. They are also often added to other dishes, such as stir-fries, casseroles, quiches, omelets, soups, and stews. The sweet flavor of carrots also makes them a popular ingredient in baking cakes, muffins, breads, and cookies.
Classic Carrot Flavor Buddies
Carrots go will with many flavors and ingredients in particular:
Citrus (Lemon, oranges, grapefruit)

All By Myself...
by, 07-12-2015 at 06:24 PM (1578 Views)
Thunder was rolling when I got out to the farm today. To be fair, it was rolling when I'd left the house an hour earlier. With an hour drive between home and farm, I figured the weather could be completely different there so I headed out anyways. It was definitely brighter than it had been at home, but it was clear that weather was moving in.
The first thing I did when I got there was to walk out into the field and fly spray Gossip and give her a grooming. It included picking out her feet. She isn't relaxed enough for me to go slowly and take my time, but I can get them done now. I noticed that one of the mares was not with the group and I could hear her whinnying. It's not like that mare to go off on her own, so after Gossip was groomed and fly sprayed I went to investigate.
The turnout they're in right now has two distinct areas that are connected by a gate. There's a dry lot area, where the shelter and the waterer are, and there's the pasture. The gate between them is generally tied open. Well today it had somehow come untied, and swung closed. Poor Avi was in the dry lot alone, feeling sorry for herself. I have no idea how long she'd been there, but she was very happy when I opened the gate and tied it back again for her.
Once she was sorted I turned my attention back to Gossip. One thing I can't stand is a herd-bound horse, so I know I need to be pro-active to prevent it. So far in her life every time I've haltered her and taken her out of the pasture there's been another horse with her. Today that changed. I grabbed a small scoop of her ration balancer, and set the feed tub down outside of the gate, but in a spot where she'd still be able to see the herd. Then I went and haltered Gossip. She was hesitant when she realized that I was taking her out of the field on her own, but with some verbal reassurance she followed me easily enough. After I had latched the gate behind us and she realized there was food, she relaxed and ate happily. Then I had to get her back in....
Her best friend can be a pain, and he was crowding the gate. He's kind of a big goofball, and I'm sure he wanted to know why she'd gotten fed and he hadn't. I wound up having to chase him off a couple of times, because he was crowding us and not letting Gossip come all the way through the gate. The last thing I needed was him going out instead of her coming in, and having to chase him around the property! My getting after him made Gossip hesitate a bit to come towards me/through the gate, but once she figured out what was going on she came back in easily.
My plan for the next while is to keep taking her out, for a bit longer each time, and gradually farther away from the others. She'll get fed a bit each time, so there's something in it for her. And in the process she'll get used to going off alone with me. Hey, it worked with Squeaker.

As your excitement mounts in anticipation of this joyous event, so does mine.
I am very excited to be able to share such an exciting day with two people who are passionately in love.
My job allows me the privilege of observing those last giddy moments the bride shares with her best friends before she pledges herself to the cute guy in the next room. Through the camera I capture the groom, who's on pins and needles, joking with his favorite people but secretly picturing his soon-to-be wife walking
toward him in her wedding dress. Connecting with my clients & getting to know them is important to me. I understand that everyone has a specific budget they need to stick to and incorporating a wedding photographer investment is very important. With that being said, if you love my work and would love to have me document your special wedding day, I would love to work with you. Send me a message and we can chat.
I am based out of Florida, but I am mobile to travel throughout the USA and International.

The spirit of orientalism is alive in the latest masculine from Caron. Yuzu takes its inspiration from the East Asian (predominantly Japanese) fruit of the same name, and as you'd expect, it is a refreshing cocktail of citrus notes. Sadly, it's also quite unremarkable, combining all the usual cliches of barbershop cleanliness (soapy notes, synthetic musks etc) with a pink, syrupy pomegranate note and - as has become common in recent months - a watery lychee accord. It's predictable, it lacks depth and it is quite unworthy of the house that has given us three distinctive, original scents for men: Pour Un Homme, Yatagan and Le 3e Homme.
Yuzu pops up again in a far more interesting guise in Hiroshima Mon Amour. Named after the culture-crossing French movie of the late 50s, it's a curious blend of hesperidic notes, the camphoraceous transparency of juniper berries, a boozy plum, gentle, ambery vanilla and, most importantly, a dry, elegant beeswax base. The harmony between these disparate elements is hard to unpick - a testament to the skill of perfumer Stéphane Humbert-Lucas - but the overriding impression is of an impenetrable conflict. True, such thoughts are encouraged by its name, but I don't think it's too fanciful to suggest that the perfume depicts a battle of wills between individuals from different backgrounds. Their passions run deep, but they never let down their guard: the need for decorum is paramount. An intriguing piece of work.
[Review of Yuzu Man based on a sample of eau de toilette provided by Caron in 2011; review of Hiroshima Mon Amour based on a sample of eau de parfum provided by Nez À Nez in 2011; fragrances tested on skin.]

text: Lighter Side: Office CCTV shows ghostly goings-on Unsettling CCTV footage from one UK office appears to show the actions of a workplace poltergeist as chairs fly across the room and computer screens suddenly come to life in the dead of night. The video also captures the rattling of door handles, shadows passing over walls and filing cabinet draws being flung open before having their contents thrown out. The disturbing video, which has garnered widespread attention on social media, can be seen below: However, one expert ghost hunter says the video – which was taken at Castlefield House in the city of Manchester, may not be quite what it seems. "I did some digging into it and there are a number of ways that you can tell it isn't real," says Scott Machinnon, who runs Phoenix Paranormal Investigation. "Some of the scenes have clearly been edited and there's a few different signifiers of it that wouldn't stand out to the untrained eye," he added. "But it is really well done." The ghost guru has been working in the field for 20 years – he leads a team of psychics that, he says, focus more on the scientific aspects of the paranormal to try and discover the reason behind any unexplained occurrences or activity.

|The cabinet door latches were too heavily rusted to be salvageable...
What a mug! I forgot to get a photo before I started working on it. It is truly a classic piece of Western Australian 1930's construction. So here is a description: the cabinet was clearly made on site by a carpenter from materials used in the construction of the house. It was part of the role of the carpenter.
The cabinet is nearly 6 foot long, 18 inches wide, and about 40 inches tall. Pretty tall! The shelves were made from jarrah tongue and groove floorboards. The frame was made from 3"x 1 1/2" jarrah. The two doors on the front, the end panels, and the cabinet face were made from 4 1/2" x 5/8" thick jarrah V-joint lining board - the same stuff which was used for the old "ledge and brace" dunny doors. The doors have two cleats on the back which the lining boards are nailed onto - and the nails are clinched over behind the cleats. The doors are hanging on T-hinges. The colour was Battleship Grey, though it seems an earlier colour may have been white or whitewash. An undercoat? It seems there was no other coat of paint ever applied to it. The backing of the cabinet was rough sawn boards of Yellow Pine, about 7" wide, edge butted together. The whole thing was held together with a variety of nails. The cabinet top was one of those old wooden ones. These were usually made from Kauri Pine or Hoop Pine. The enamel bowl would have been suspended underneath the hole in the sink top, and draining grooves were planed in the sink top radiating towards the bowl. Interesting to remember that once these wooden benchtops were normal. The cabinet was in a bad way, with most of the nails loose so the whole thing wobbled around. There was some rot in the shelving, in the base of the backing and the base of the cabinet ends. The top itself was very badly split from being in the weather for years. Most of the original top would not be re-useable for the benchtop.
|Face down on a set of saw horses, the back has been removed.
|The Yellow Pine backing boards, lined up in order. Plenty of rot at their bases.
|The other wooden sink top, the spare one.
|The rear of one of the doors. Note the clinched nails on the cleats.
In addition to breathing new life into the cabinet, it would also be modified so that it would fit into a recess behind the new cabinet position in the kitchen.
Steps to a new life for the cabinet.
1. The backing boards were removed. This enabled me to remove the rotten boards in the shelving, and replace them. The shelving was screwed down onto the cabinet frame.
2. I squeezed up the lining boards on the cabinet ends with sash cramps, at the same time as squaring up the ends. The lining boards were then re-nailed onto the end frames.
3. A new horizontal support was added under the rear base of the bottom shelf, to counteract the hammock shape of the bottom.
4. Additional stiles were added at the rear to accommodate the frame extension at the rear required to fit in the new kitchen location.
5. The cabinet was turned onto it's back, and the face firmed up. Too fragile to nail, I opted to screw the lining boards onto the face. Slotted screws were used, consistent with the era.
6. Using a big square and my 6 foot straightedge, a new top and bottom level was drawn onto the frame all round, and the I cut to these lines. By removing about 1/2" from the top and about 1" from the bottom, much of the rotten damaged ends of the lining boards were removed and the frame straightened up.
7. The new rear frame extension was completed, and the backing boards were shortened and re-fitted. Additional lining boards were used, from my stocks. These had come from a very old house in West Perth. Sometimes it is an advantage to be a wood bowerbird!
8. My customer wanted the old paintwork to be partly removed. So I removed the doors and used my belt sander, random orbital sander, and hand sanding to chew off the bulk of the paint. The result is very pleasing, and will eventually receive a clear coat of something -with echoes of the old colours coming through subtlely. Nice.
|Removing the doors ready to clean off the bulk of the old paint.
|The chosen level of paint removal. Mostly jarrah showing, but with echoes of the old paint coming through...
9. Time to put the cabinet into position. Using the old fashioned method, I placed the cabinet in position, packed it up so that it was level, and scribed the based to follow the contour of the kitchen floor where it would now live.
10. The holes were cut in the back of the rear frame extension to take the waste pipe, water pipes and power point. With this done, it was time to fix the cabinet in its new position.
11. The frame was bolted to the brickwork behind. The doors were still to be re-hung, after new catches could be found, and probably after the plumber has been - to make access easier. Time to measure up for the top which needs to be made to replace the old one and extend into the recess behind.
|The rejuvenated cabinet, with its new rear extension into the recess. Beautifully level.
The original top was just too damaged to be usable in making up a suitable top - except for a strip along the front. My customer had another wooden top to toss into the mix, but it was not alot better. These tops were traditionally made from either Hoop Pine or Kauri Pine - though I do not claim to be able to tell the difference at this stage. My hunch is that the original top was made from Kauri Pine. With the new top to be bigger (extending into the recess behind) and the timber in the old tops being to badly split and rotten, we decided to create a whole new top. I was able to obtain a new 3.0m (10ft) length of kauri pine which was 250 x 75mm (10" x 3"). After ripping it down the middle, I was able to create two 10inch wide boards which were just over 30mm thick. From this I glued up the material for a whole new benchtop.
|The oversized new top glued up, with epoxy resin this time.
|My trusty Record No.0110 was used to clean off squeeze-out from the joints.
|The "bowl hole" cut out of the benchtop, but the top not sized yet.
|Router jig used for cutting the drainage grooves.
|Drainage grooves completed, and top cut to size. Now for a test fit!
|Top now made, and first coat of Orange Oil applied. Looking good!
|Top now fixed down to the cabinet frame.
|Detail shot of the bowl edge and the drainage grooves.
|That nicely re-enamelled bowl looks pretty good under the new sink top.
|Job done. A new top like those which were common in the 1920's and 30's.
It's been a very interesting and enjoyable job to re-vitalise the old kitchen cabinet, and install it in it's new home. Although the top is new, the original cabinet from the 1930's has been given a new lease of life, extended to fit into the recess behind, and has pride of place in it's new home as the kitchen sink cabinet. The new top will soon look more aged through use, and down the track people will be amazed that such an old cabinet can be in such good condition! It also fits into it's new home very pleasingly. Once the plumber has come to hook it all up install the taps, we'll re-hang the doors. Might be worth an updated photo then, of the completed whole. Stay tuned for that one...
|After the plumber, the doors will go back on. What a glorious renewal...

The storm of violence between Georgia, Russia and Southern Ossetia is a big depressing mess with ridiculous posturing all around (that the US couldn't seem to resist getting involved in) while hundreds of people die as civilian apartments are bombed and ethnic cleansing of Georgians in Southern Ossetia has begun, according Human Rights Watch.
As I've been following the various streams of palaver about oil, geopolitics, and nationalism in the mainstream media and the blogosphere, my thoughts, in their little-mindedness, keep returning to worries about people I've actually met—Georgians in Moscow—and how the war will affect their lives, from migration crack-downs to vigilante violence.
I well remember the feeling I had in late 2001—after the 11 September attacks—that I should only leave my house to go to work. For months, it seemed like my entire life was a small circuit between my apartment, the high school where I taught and the grocery store. When I did break the pattern to go out for drinks with some other teachers one Friday evening, some racist blowhard called me "Osama" and told me I better leave the bar, or else.
And this was
So I was somewhat reassured by early reports that Russian officials were warning the media not to air material that would be likely to stir ethnic tensions within the Federation.
Then yesterday, SOVA started releasing reports of anti-Georgian threats and violence across
To state the obvious: things don't look good.

Little things, before I sleep
That is all. Going to bed now.
Wednesday, September 23, 2015
Another good day.
As I worked on yesterday's special project, I realized that the most satisfying part of it was drawing a line through each case as I worked my way down the list. So I took a roundabout way to Knit Night: instead of driving down I-67 to I-20 and exiting in Grand Prairie, I continued southwest on I-67 to Cedar Hill to one of the many Michaels stores I patronized when getting ready for my wedding. There was a display of adult coloring books just inside the front door, right where I couldn't miss it. It took me a few minutes to find the colored pencils, because I was distracted by another white pumpkin.
There are now four white ones and a tiny silver one on the shelf above my wing chair in the living room. Last week I bought a big rough-hewn one at JoAnn's (when I got the buttons to rescue my brown T-shirt). It and the newest one are perched on the nesting tables by my front door; this new one is all lumpy bumpy and blazoned with green stripes. I tried it up on the shelf with the others but brought it right back down again. Rounding out that display is a framed printable I found on Pinterest and popped into the red frame I bought at my friend's estate sale when I got the herringbone covered armchairs for the dining room table. I need a little something to prop up the printable, because the last line or so is obscured by the lumpy bumpy pumpkin.
I bribed myself before bedtime. Picked up the last dab of junk from in front of the closet in my bedroom and ran the vacuum. I colored for maybe ten minutes and shoehorned the coloring book and box of colored pencils into the bookcase by my bed. I bought "The Time Garden" by Daria Song, an English translation; she's a Korean artist. It's very detailed ~ like my medallion quilt ~ so maybe too fiddly for some people's taste.
The plan for tonight is to pre-wash the fabric for the medallion quilt, if I don't have time to do it after my shower and before leaving for work. If I do, then I'll start cutting out fabric. In this step I will assemble the border which is composed of 1" finished squares. I think all the squares are sewn together into two-patch blocks. If not, there aren't many left to put together, and then I'll take over the dining room table to arrange each of the four strips.
In knitting news, I worked the heel flap, turned the heel, and began the gusset on the current pink baby sock. The ball of yarn does not seem to be getting any smaller! I wonder how many socks I will end up with? This is the yarn that doesn't end, And it goes on and on, my friend. Somebody started knitting it, not knowing what it was, And she'll continue knitting it forever, just because...

I also closed two cases yesterday. And wrangled all of my To-Do's. Today I will catch up the mail. I have another project that the office manager gave two of us, that will fill in the rest of the time. One of our new hires has been attached to a bunch of cases in our office. We have no idea how that happened. But another secretary and I have been meticulously detaching her and making sure that the proper attorney is attached for notification purposes. I love fiddly projects like these. I am very, very good at what one of my coworkers calls "minushka" (minutiae).
I dropped off two of the new library books after work, picked up the moldy raspberries to return them, got that done (exchanged them for a cheese spreader with a handle that looks like three stacked candy corns, so the store and I both came out winners on that transaction), and hit Costco for much needed staples and to top off the Tardis' tank. The numbers are all entered on my spreadsheet, and the receipts are shredded.
Today is recycling day. The bin with papers was ridiculously heavy, so I decanted some of its contents into the other bin. We do single-stream recycling here, but I like to keep paper separate from everything else while I'm gathering it, as everything lies more neatly in its bin that way.
I remembered to order my new glasses yesterday. Not much of a change from the pair I've worn for the past three years. These have held up very well, and they will go into my drawer with the last pair, for emergencies.
Lawn dudes come today. I'll get home from Knit Night to a yard free of random sprouts that are approaching knee high. I will probably get a nasty-gram from the city anyway. And my next installment of the medallion quilt should arrive at the office today or tomorrow, because there was a pending charge on my bank account this morning.
That's it for now. I need to take stuff out to the curb, figure out lunch, shred a couple more items, and hit the road.

More overtime.
I do know what I'm going to do with the overtime. It is earmarked for my bicycle.
Notwithstanding my general absence from the homestead, a few things have gotten done. I bought another white fake pumpkin to amp up the fall decor. And a package of brown and cream buttons to rescue my brown T-shirt, which had two spots that did not come out in the wash. In the wee hours of this morning, I sewed them all on and posted the result to Facebook. (Because if it's not on FB, it didn't happen, right?)
I mostly-cooked dinner for the elders and did a drive-by fooding yesterday. And then I came home for a nap that went somewhat longer than expected. I awoke at 12:30 this morning. So, no grocery shopping and no jog through the pool at the gym. Went back to sleep at 4:30 with the alarm set for 7:30 and barely made it to church on time.
The raspberries which I bought at Central Market yesterday were moldy when I opened them this morning. So I will take them back after work tomorrow and make a desperately needed Costco run. I am about out of a whole bunch of things.
I got a nice nap after church. I did not set my alarm, and I kinda hoped that I would not wake in time for choir practice, because I just wasn't feeling it. But I did, and I went, and as usual I was blessed. I am turning into the class clown of choir (OK, one of several). My children will not be entirely surprised, because I'm known in the family for my wacky sense of humor. But I was always the pleaser when I was in school. The idea of acting out, even a little, to get a laugh was light years beyond me at that time. I was firmly in please don't look at me, don't call on me, don't call attention to me mode for twelve solid years.
It wasn't until I was in college for the third and possibly final time, when I was getting my associates' degree in interpreting for the deaf, that I discovered a love of performance.
OK, I think I'm done for now. I have an intermittently interesting home organization book to plow through. I did get one good take-away before choir practice: keep a first aid kit in my toolbox. Most of the rest of what I've read so far is mildly interesting and not particularly useful. I'm making myself finish this book before tackling the Katie Couric book of quotations from sundry famous people, and the book of Folkwear designs. I've bought and made various items from the pattern line over the past 30 years. My favorite was the Afghani Nomad Dress. And I did a couple of smocks for the girls but burned out before I got one made for all of them. (I figure the Katie Couric book will be entertaining, given the range of people she got quotes from, and my belief that even a stopped clock is right twice a day.)

Being a girl.
Cue the soundtrack. One of the fun things about being female, is accessorizing. This shirt. That scarf. Those earrings. Back in the day, before multiple surgeries for ingrown toenails, the cute shoes to go with. (Now it's just: brown clogs or black?)
I bought four new layering tees last night. On sale, of course. And this morning I will wear the pumpkin shirt with the scarf my sister gave me and the shell flower earrings in a slightly darker shade of rust. Hair up in a bun, the better to show off those earrings.
Here's hoping the workday is not so busy that I forget to put on lipstick after finishing my breakfast! I've put in nearly five hours of OT this week and am anticipating more before the special, rush project is over.
Love it. OT is rare in our office. In the spirit of tomorrow's Talk Like A Pirate Day, yarrrrn money!

The Dread Pirate (Desk) Roberts
I have done enough shredding this morning to qualify as runner-up for the Rosemary Woods Memorial Document Destruction Award. I've worked through half of the contents of the front third of one drawer. There are five more drawers. I might get the top of the big section of the desk cleared off tonight before bedtime. I'd already made a pass through some of the drawers at one time or another in the past two and a half years. So it's not as bad as it could be. But between Beloved and his mother, I am probably set with office supplies for the rest of my natural life.
It would be ever so much worse if Beloved had been a hoarder like the children's father. Thankfully, he was not. But there is still a whale of a lot to sort through. I entertain myself with the vision of how pretty that corner is going to look with the desk gone and my rocking chair or the chair-and-a-half of my friend installed in that corner.
I'm about half done with the gusset on the second pink baby sock.
And now if you will all excuse me, I'm going to tuck those $2 bills into my purse, knit one and only one round on the sock, and get myself ready for work. This is ward temple night, but there's a distinct possibility that I will be working overtime, instead. I put in an hour and 45 minutes last night on a somewhat urgent special project.
Yarn money.

After the trial of my faith/patience/whatever...
So: church was good yesterday. (We are not surprised.) I was a supportive friend in the afternoon and went to choir practice, even though I didn't want to, because the choir director is my dear friend and my visiting teacher, and I had raised my hand to sustain her when she was called as choir director. We worked on some glorious stuff. Mack Wilberg arrangements of two old hymns. My personal reward for choosing the right? I hit the A below middle C which was only marginally possible earlier this year. I do those Nee-ee-ee-ee-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah scales when I'm driving home and having difficulty staying awake. First I go up. Then I work my way down, exploring the chest voice I've only discovered this year.
After church I took a nap, which helped immensely with the overwhelm. When I lay down, I told Heavenly Father that my body needed to rest, and my spirit wanted to go to choir practice, and that I was not setting the alarm, and to please be in charge. Because I'm bossy like that. I awoke half an hour before I needed to leave for choir practice, feeling a little more put-together, and choir practice did the rest.
During that half hour, I moved my Mormon Bar Cart (bought at a ward member's pre-moving estate sale) into the dining room after moving two chairs away from the wall and relocating them to the dining room table. Which I could do because a couple of weeks ago I had wrangled the underbed wrapping paper holder out into the living room, reorganized it, and put it (for now) under the coffee table in front of the dining room window. It will eventually go under my worktable in my studio, but I can't get to that space, yet.
And I transferred my French laundry basket, which holds my book of remembrance and the two packets of copies of family group sheets from my brother-in-law, from the square yard or so of floor space in the living room where it has been sitting for the past couple of weeks, to a corner of my bed temporarily. I bent the Sabbath slightly and ran the vacuum.
After choir practice, my home teacher / visiting teacher couple came over and settled in for a good visit. I love it that they do not do the obligatory fly-by twenty minute visit. They come. We talk. I get listened to. We trouble-shoot. We talk about our families. We bond. It wouldn't work for everyone, but this is the best of three very good fits that I have enjoyed since marrying Beloved and moving into this ward. They are both creative types, so it is all very simpatico.
I had two family issues that I wanted to discuss with them. One of them is definitely my monkey and my circus, and I have two fresh perspectives to ponder and take to the Lord. The other is definitely neither my monkey nor my circus, and I have lovingly handed it back to its proper ringmaster, which felt wonderful!!! (I'm not sure that three exclamation marks are sufficient.)
In sock news, I finished the heel flap on the second pink Jitterbug baby sock before I went to bed. The case with my crochet hooks is in my bag to take to work, along with the sock and an only slightly diminished ball of yarn. I have a feeling that I will be knitting little pink socks for weeks to come.
One of my last rational acts before bedtime, was to hoist the to-the-brim French laundry basket atop my pseudo-semainier, where it rests like a crown. So all my dead people are hanging out in my closet, but I won't be tripping over them as I navigate the living room.
I posted a picture on Facebook last night. The living room is about 95% decluttered. Mel and Squishy came by and picked up the three bags that I had set aside for them. The floor in front of that bookcase is officially clear. And the morass in front of my closet is about 90% decluttered. My focus for this week will be the top of Beloved's desk, which is littered with some of his stuff, and a whole lot of my stuff. I'm not sure that one week will be sufficient, but I can at least continue where I left off.
As I write, I am uploading my Book of Mormon CD's to iTunes. I'm on disc 11 of 22. I think that's a good stopping point for now.
Andrea, thank you for your kind words yesterday. I had a blessing a couple of weeks ago. The visit with my friends, and the tweaking of this weekend's decluttering, seem to have done the trick.
Sunday, September 13, 2015
I remember when Sarah was working on my body, and she asked if I ever felt as if I were drowning, and I had to answer yes. I feel frustrated because the house is progressing so slowly. I feel ungrateful, because there is so much stuff to wrangle, even after two and a half years of reasonably steady chipping away, and I don't want to make a mistake and throw out something valuable. I feel determined to have a home that works for me, and which is easy for our kids to deal with when my time on Earth is done. I feel tired. I haven't been to the gym in weeks, and I feel guilty because it's a lot of money down the drain in that time, and I feel confused as to whether I should cancel my membership and buy a bike now rather than later.
I feel undernourished. I've been doing so much reading of late that there hasn't been much time for cooking. I felt better when I was eating more vegetables. I feel broke. And a little broken. And scattered, very scattered. I am trying very hard not to be so busy that I cannot feel my feelings, but to be busy enough that there is forward progress around here. I wish I could talk to Beloved, to ask him Where does this stuff need to go? Who could use it? And I wish that I could feel his arms around me.
On the other hand, when I look around at what I have accomplished, either on my own or with Fourthborn's help, I feel pleasure and pride and artistic satisfaction. There are oases of order and calm amid all the unfinished business. There is a smidgen less overwhelm at the end of most weeks. I think part of what I am feeling today is because I wrangled the contents of a small plastic grocery bag that has been kicking around my room for two and a half years. Expired tubes of hydrocortisone cream. A cheapie compass that will go into one of the cars, because it makes me grin. Notepads and index cards he might have taken along when he was having chemo. (There is yet another briefcase which needs going through. I'm not sure that today is the day for it.)
Choir practice resumes this afternoon, after a summer hiatus. And my home teacher and visiting teacher will be coming over today or next week. I'm looking forward to their visit. I wish I could say that I'm looking forward to choir practice. I know that once I get there, I'll enjoy myself, but right now it feels like just one more thing.
I woke up at Weekday Standard Time. I wish there were time for a nap before church. Thankfully, I am not depressed. I think this might be a very subtle wave of grief, and I am just going to roll with it, knowing that it will pass and I will go back to feeling productive and capable and a whole bunch of other Girl Scout virtues.

Words to live by.
Because I am not always kind and forbearing.
Significant progress here at home, last night and this morning. I set the timer for half an hour both times and worked on the morass outside my closet. When I went to bed I was able to hang up the clean clothes that have been on hangers since I washed them, were laid in a neat stack on the bed while I was in the shower, and hung up on the shower curtain rod when it was time for bed. A grocery bag of stuff is ready to go out to the trash bin. The non-recyclable plastic boxes that held the rolls of window film are out in the trash bin. The recycling bin which holds paper is significantly more full. It was thirsty work, so there are more empties in the bin which holds plastic and metal. (We don't have to separate the recycling, but I do so because I can fit more into each bin that way.) There has been some shredding.
I slept in until 6:30 this morning. Bliss! I picked up Fourthborn for Bittiest's birthday party, dropped her off at home again, and hit the flea market. Thankfully, I found nothing that wanted to come home with me, but I had a great conversation with the owners of the booth where I bought the corner chair and the table which has become my computer desk. They are very much interested in the church pew that is in my garage. I can't get to it to measure it, although I tried last night, but I've estimated it to be 9-10 feet long. There is only one wall in the house where it truly fits, and I have other plans for that wall. Finding another home for the church pew would open up a corridor in the garage and greatly simplify cleaning and decluttering it.
I really really really want a nap. But I think I will make a dash to Hobby Lobby first. I need a small to medium piece of foamcore board so I may work on a handful of small projects.
I got the toe bound off for the first of what are likely to be an unending supply of pink Jitterbug baby socks. And maybe a dozen rounds worked on the cuff of its mate.

Shame and vulnerability and shopping
I took my sweet time coming home last night, first by way of Pier One, where I bought candy corn votive candles and a beaded placemat. From there to Trader Joe's for some chocolate covered ginger. Then to Bueno for a black bean burrito, and Michaels for faux pumpkins to put on the shelf above my wing chair. The pumpkins are up on the shelf and utterly charming. The candles, which I'd thought I would be using somewhat differently, are lined up on the other end of the shelf. I returned the beaded placemat after work tonight, as it was the wrong size for the place I'd had in mind for it.
I realized, amid the reading and the pondering, that I went shopping in order to reestablish some sense of control over my life. I might not have been able to keep that car from pulling out in front of me, but I can decorate a shelf. I might have wanted to eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's, or a slice of cheesecake, but I can choose a more sensible comfort food. I might be shaken at how quickly I could have been gone had Heaven not chosen to protect the other driver and me. I thought I would probably wake up this morning stiff as a board, but I have moved with relative ease all day. I am grateful for the protection we received, and that we did not cause a multi-car pileup, but I am also still a bit rattled.
What I think happened, is that a car pulled out from a side street to my left and cut in, in front of me. There is a side street in the right place, and a cutout, shortly before where it happened. But I don't have a clear picture in my mind, because it happened so quickly. Swerve, skid, curb, TAP, oh bleep.
And everybody in front of us and behind us just kept on going.
I know what didn't happen. I know that I did not black out, that I was not distracted, that I was not speeding or zipping from one lane to another. Thankfully, we were a little bit south of a light which had just changed, and we were not going very fast.
I've prayed to see what happened, but so far no dice. Maybe in my dreams tonight.
In other news, the crickets are going nuts outside. Ick. And I ordered my Christmas present from the corporation yesterday. I'm getting a white noise machine. And the first pink baby sock is on the home stretch. I am going to grab some ginger and take my meds and read for maybe two and a half minutes, and then go to bed.
Tired. Grateful. Amazed. Tired. Did I mention tired?

Good news and ... more good news.
Eye checkup: my eyes are happy. Optomap reveals no signs of diabetes or cataracts. I've picked out new frames. And they will cost less than the current pair, which has lasted three years. My eyes are slightly less astigmatic than they were five years ago. My left eye, which has always been the worst eye, is slightly less near-sighted than it was five years ago. (I was curious. He had time to show me.)
In the most recent bout of tidying, I found four more music CDs. They are uploaded to iTunes, and I'm about to go file them with the others in the boxes in my studio.
My visiting teaching letters and handouts are done for this month. And might even go out in the mail today. Just need to create more mailing labels, put them on the envelopes, and slap on the stamps.
I finished putting together the final block in the 2014-2015 First Saturday quilt. And I've found the manuals for my Electric Quilt 5 program. Now all I need are the blocks from Firstborn and Fourthborn, and the actual CD so I may upload it to this computer. The finishing kit is waiting for my attention in the hall, but since I am making a king size quilt and not a twin or full, I don't need six inch sashing between the blocks. Once I have the software in place, I can truly make this quilt my own.
I also found a printout of a quilt I designed about twelve years ago that begs to be made up. Alternating nine patch and solid blocks set on point, creating a medallion quilt with shifting colors, and the fabric requirements neatly calculated and color coded on the second page.
Had a good day at work yesterday, in the four hours I was there before leaving for our dental appointments and my eye appointment. Only 25 emails waiting for me, as opposed to the 177 that greeted me when I came back from vacation in July. I got my email wrangled, my To-Do's to-did, and the mail for last Thursday calendared. (Scheduling orders: the bane of a legal secretary's existence.) I'll need to polish the drafts for the letters to our clients and claims and get one of the attorneys to sign them. SemperFi is still out of the country on his mother's bucket list trip.
I'm hoping for another good day at work today. At the very least I should be able to get through Friday's and yesterday's mail, blow through my To-Do's (which at this point are tasks related to cases which are in the process of closing), and keep up with my email.
Last good thing: I have a huge ball of pink semisolid Jitterbug that has tried to be one thing or another. I am turning it into baby socks, to be set aside for future giving occasions. It's perfect church knitting. Yesterday I finished the cuff, worked the heel flap, turned the heel, and completed the gusset at Knit Night. Loving the new venue. I did not need to take Fourthborn home afterward, so I was home in about 40 minutes, as opposed to the hour and a half it used to take from the prior venue. And even when I brought her with me last week, I was home in a little over an hour. If she and her roommate move to an apartment on the east side of town, that will shave off even more time.
Life is good, and I have stuff to put away, and I want to tank the Tardis before work, so I'd better get moving.
Monday, September 07, 2015
It was a Plan B weekend.
I've printed off the Relief Society newsletter and the message for this month, and I created a letter and printed it onto the back of the handout I brought home from RS yesterday.
Ward picnic was a blast. So glad I went, and glad that Fourthborn was willing to go with me. She got some good pictures of my participation in the pie eating contest, even if both of us were laughing so hard it's a miracle they were not all blurry.
I made killer brownies and quite happily left them at the picnic when we were ready to leave.
We did not get anything done on the house this weekend. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
It's time for my Rx and bedtime. If there's any justice in the world, I will sleep like a rock tonight.
Sunday, September 06, 2015
On the one hand.
We met at the quilt shop, picked up the final blocks for this year's quilt, and signed up for next year's. Fourthborn gets all twelve blocks. It's in navy and green, and the sample block they showed was luscious.
I finished sewing the last of the flying geese blocks and laid them out to stitch into strips for the next border on the medallion quilt. If Fourthborn were not asleep in the living room, and if the light and noise would not disturb her, I'd be seeing how much more that I could get done before church. I got distracted by family history after my friend's wedding and a much needed nap, so only two pieces from each of the four strips got sewn together before I went to bed for good. Those four bits look really good.
I need to figure out breakfast and get ready for church, which starts in an hour. So I wouldn't get all that much done, even if Fourthborn were awake on her own and not because I'd been inconsiderate. And I need to figure out my church knitting.
Remind me to wax contemplative on strapless wedding gowns.

Scraps of progress
So what did get done? Wrote checks for all the bills. Ran the dishwasher. Took all but one of the library books back to the library and did the grocery shopping. Mailed the other video about China Lake (they were not two identical videos, but parts one and two) to my sister-in-law. Bought the birthday gift card for Bittiest and a wedding gift for my friend. Took my Isiah stitchery out of its frame, smoothed it more firmly to the adhesive backing, and put it in a frame that had been holding a generic architectural print which I bought after the divorce. It's now hung on the wall by the front door next to the other prints about the Savior.
LittleBit came for dinner after she got off work. I made bread cheese pudding, salads, and my Fage/Nutella jollop for dessert. We talked and laughed, almost like old times. I showed her the results of my BYU Relative Finder search. The Spirit was with us, sweet and strong.
I read a (very) little after she left, and I slept like a rock. When I went out to the kitchen this morning to make breakfast, I discovered that I'd left the last dab of cream cheese out overnight.
I'm still vaguely hungry. I want to work on the quilt, and I need to make a card for the wedding and wrap the gift properly. I guess I will set the timer for an hour and see how much sewing I can get done in that time. Because right now I need to Make Stuff more than I need to be logical, or organized, or a host of other virtues. I'm feeling a bit more scattered than usual.

55 years ago today, I made my debut. I was born at 12:55 AM in Conway, South Carolina. Notice those double fives. I've always considered five a lucky number. I arrived on the 5th of August in 1979, a birth, of sorts. I would have come in May 1979 if I wasn't still in school.
I look forward to the next 55 years! I have seen a lot in my lifetime, especially over the past 37 years.
At 55,I have enough wisdom to claim experience without thinking I know it all.
I am "senior" without feeling like a senior citizen. I can get discounts at some movie theaters depending on how honest I are about my age.
I was born on a Saturday to Richard Hampton
The US president was John F. Kennedy (Democratic). In that special week of February people in US were listening to Will You Love Me Tomorrow? by The Shirelles. In UK Are You Lonesome Tonight? by Elvis Presley was in the top 5 hits. Gold of the Seven Saints, directed by Gordon Douglas, was one of the most viewed movies released in 1961 while Advise And Consent by Allen Drury was one of the best selling books.
Happy Birthday to Carey Lowell February 11th 1961 as well! She has been a credited actor since the 1989 film Licence to Kill.
Most Baby Boomers who have already reached the benchmark of 55 years of age are not yet aware of the myriad of age 55 perks we can take advantage of. Asking for our "senior" discount doesn't mean we are on our last legs. It means that we have experienced a rite of passage that allows us to meet our daily needs and enjoy many cultural and recreational activities at great lower prices!

Leslie Nielsen would've turned 90 On This Day.
February 11 is the 42nd day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. There are 324 days remaining until the end of the year.
With some ingenuity and a power-house marketer, a plastic that was originally made for the military became a kitchen staple. Earl Tupper was the creator of Tupperware but a young divorced mother from Detroit, Michigan came up with the marketing plan that made Tupperware legendary.
Max Baer was born on this date in 1909. Same year, 1909 – Joseph L. Mankiewicz, director, producer, and screenwriter (d. 1993). Mankiewicz has a distinction that MIGHT be matched this year. If Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu Oscar this year, he will become the first back-to-back Oscar winner in the best director category since Joseph L. Mankiewicz in 1950, and only third filmmaker to turn the trick overall. (John Ford was the other back-to-back winner.)
On this date in 1904, Matt Dennis, American singer-songwriter and pianist (d. 2002)
Eva Gabor was born on this date! Hungarian-American actress (d. 1995). She was widely known for her role on the 1965-71 television sitcom Green Acres as Lisa Douglas, the wife of Eddie Albert's character, Oliver Wendell Douglas. She voiced "Duchess" in the 1970 Disney film The Aristocats, and Miss Bianca in Disney's The Rescuers and The Rescuers Down Under. Gabor was successful as an actress in film, on Broadway and on television. She was also a successful businessperson, marketing wigs, clothing and beauty products. Her elder sisters, Zsa Zsa and Magda Gabor, were also actresses and socialites.
Kim Stanley was also born on this day in 1925.
Well, I'm off for a day full of celebrations! Thanks for your support and here's to the next 55!
Thank you to all of the artists mentioned in this blog for the gifts you have given to the world and continue to give!
Laughter is much more important than applause. Applause is almost a duty. Laughter is a reward.

not you?
Your account
Remember your very first car? Bit of a tatty wreck, probably, but you loved it because it was yours. Now, a generation later, you're buying a car for the newest-qualified driver in your house. Here's what to expect… and what you'll only know once they're on the road…
Your kids probably envisages a shiny new ride like all the stars in the movies. But even if you're happy to splash out on a brand-spanking new car, it's likely that even the most proficient of new drivers might get a little prang in them. In fact, one in five newly qualified drivers will have an accident in the first six months after passing their test. So it might be worth considering a slighter less-new car just in case of any minor scrapes it'll be dealing with.
Parents in the UK spend £2 billion a year to cover their children's motoring costs, with around 10% of UK parents contributing in excess of £1,000 a year.
You think your car insurance is pricey? Just you wait. There's a very good reason why you shouldn't spend a fortune on those new wheels: newly-qualified drivers, especially teenage ones spend over £2,000 a year running a car and tend to have higher insurance premiums – the average cost to insure a 17-22 year-old taking to the road for the first time is a wallet-busting £1,325.
Don't despair, however. Telematics insurance – also called "black box insurance" could be the answer to your young driver insurance prayers. Our data shows, when comparing policies, where telematics policies were the cheapest policy available, the average saving was a whopping £1054.45**.
A mobile app, or software installed inside the car will send detailed data back to the insurer about the driver's behaviour and driving ability which is used to determine whether the premium is reduced. (Of course, the reverse is also true…).
***All average price amounts based on Compare the Market data from 1st October to 1st December 2018. These averages are based on all our customer quotes, from people with different age ranges, addresses and driving histories. You may find a cheaper or more expensive quote based on your circumstances.
15% of parents lend a helping hand to cover high insurance premiums. Want to get a competitive quote for young drivers? We've got you covered with our car insurance comparison service
There are two ways of approaching this. You can either buy the car in secret - tie it up in one of those giant bows, and lead your delighted offspring outside to see it on the morning of their birthday.
Or, you can think these things through together, so your budding star in a reasonably priced car gets a little taste of the admin that comes with adulthood. After all, they've just leapt over the hurdle of passing their driving test, now's the time for rigorous organisation! Just as you can compare different car types online through sites such as AutoTrader, you can compare car insurance using our car insurance calculator. You can even show your teenager how a bigger engine, insurance group or a snazzy modification could increase their insurance quote. As a starter for ten here's our list of the cheapest cars to insure for 17-24 year olds:
One in five parents either fully purchase or contribute to the purchase of the child's first car.
Saturday nights in with the family used to spell comfort food, primetime TV in your pyjamas and a decent night's rest.
But now? They've got a car! And suddenly they're the most popular person in town. People they once sat next to in maths back in Year 9 will become their best pal, and your front door might start revolving with teenagers exploiting his or hers designated driver status. And given that the gang can't leave until the most disorganised member has shown up, that's a good two hours of your Saturday evening taken up with dealing with them all. And you thought paying for the car was the main cost!
More than 40% of parents chip in to cover the costs of driving with offspring aged 26-30, and a third of parents support children past the age of 31.
Do you remember The Fear? The first time they went to the corner shop on their own. The first time they walked to school alone. Their first night away without you.
None of these are anything compared to the first time they go out in the car alone. You've paid for lessons. You've told them over and over again how loud music can distract them. But once they pull out of the drive that first time (and second, and third, fourth, twelfth, twenty-second…) you'll still do nothing but worry. Until you cannily learn that there are ways of keeping them safer- and your wallet – safer; as we mentioned earlier some insurance providers offer a telematics policy which means the installation of a 'black box' in the new car. This responds to the car's movements provides feedback on how the driver drives and rewards drivers with a lower premium if they drive safely. Pass Plus courses give the driver more experience, and therefore can sometimes drive premiums down. But better yet these might give you the peace of mind you need to be confident about your child's safety.
35% of parents who contribute to the cost of their kids' motoring costs said it is to ensure their children are driving a safer car.
On the other hand… need a few bits for Sunday lunch? Need an elderly relative ferried home? Fancy a glass of wine tonight? Or need someone to drive you to the airport? They could be helping you out and sharing the driving.
However, car of their own or not, you might still be picking them up from parties and clubs for years to come… and, of course, those windswept lay-bys if they run out of petrol or the car breaks down. But then that's what being a parent is all about, right?
Breakdown cover could be included with your insurance policy, so check if you've got the right cover and call your insurance provider if you would like it included.
41% of drivers aged 18-24 said they would call their dads first in the event of a breakdown – and only 30% would call their breakdown provider first.

Check out this SICK, pre-Vulcan, Conqueroo poster from the Club Il (Pronounced: Club ILL) in Austin. Only about three to four of these are known to exist! Club I.L. was a small club in east Austin owned by a cool old black guy named Ira Little. Like Kenneth Threadgill it was a place where early Austin hipsters could go and listen to music, socialize and hang out. Remember no Vulcan Gas Co. existed yet. Club Il is known to have hosted psychedelic music at least through 1969.
Club Il was short for Ira Little. It was an African American club on the East side of Austin and Ira ran the place. In the mid-60s, the Conqueroo and a few other psychedelic bands played over there before the Vulcan opened. No place else would have them. Most of the locals would clear out and the white hippies would be a majority in the club. There is known to be a little business card from the club that is featured in some publications. It promotes Shiva's as played there on certain nights and says it beats Shock Theatre on TV.
Here's a recollection of Club Il:
Hey, about the IL club in Austin. It was actually named after Ira Littlefield. Heres the deal. I played in a band called Rockin Horse and we used Ira Littlefield as our drummer when our regular guy couldn't make it. He told me he was about the 5th Ira Littlefield. He told me the following story. His father owned the club, but worked a day gig as a custodian in the "Littlefield" building in downtown Austin. Ira said that after the civil war, his great, great, something grandfather had been freed by the Littlefield family. since that time members of Ira's family had always worked for the white Littlefield Family. I don't know if this is really true, but its what he told me. One thing I do know for sure, he was one poppin' drummer. Maybe the best blues drummer I ever worked with. Peace Johnny C
Another East Side location was the Afro. When the Vulcan opened, the whites stopped going over there. Also, there was an ugly incident at the IL club (or perhaps Charlie's Playhouse--a very famous East Side Club) that pretty much ended the scene for psychedelic music over there. Some white guy made a racial slur or what was interpreted as such and there were some problems.
