This is a nice old black mammy & chef salt & pepper set. Mammy is holding a gold rolling pin with a stylized "S" on the front and the chef has a gold spoon with a matching "P". They have bold facial features and their white outfits are trimmed in red. On the bottom of the salt shaker it says: Hand Painted, in gold letters. She has three holes on the top of her head and he has four. These are large enough to be considered the range set rather the just a table set. I would guess them to be from the late 1940's or early 1950's.
They are a nice size measuring about 5 ¾" high and are in good condition showing minimal wear and no damage. The gold on the spoon and rolling pin is worn. They do not have their corks in the bottom.
The pictures are not shown at actual size. Please refer to the description for actual measurements.

Public Pressure Compels CJP to Charge Contra Costa County Repeat Offender Judge Bruce Mills with New State Law Violations
Judge Bruce Mills is facing two new charges of misconduct by the Commission on Judicial Performance.
The CJP is the controversial state agency responsible for investigating complaints of judicial misconduct and for disciplining judges.
From the East Bay Times report:
The CJP is the controversial state agency responsible for investigating complaints of judicial misconduct and for disciplining judges.
From the East Bay Times report:
MARTINEZ — A Contra Costa judge with a history of ethics violations was charged with judicial misconduct that could warrant his removal from the bench, records obtained Tuesday show.
The two counts of misconduct include allegations that Judge Bruce C. Mills illegally doubled the sentence of a judicial rights advocate who Mills had found to be in contempt of court. Mills jailed the man for discussing his divorce online, a decision that First Amendment experts called, "outrageous" and a free speech violation.

Mandated Reporter Series: Judge Duty to Report Attorney Misconduct for Failure to Disclose Adverse Law
Under state law, California judges are mandated reporters of attorney misconduct. Judicial Ethics Code § 3D(2), Business and Professions Code §§ 6086.7 and 6086.8, and California Rules of Court rules 10.609 and 10.1017 each require judges to report specific types of lawyer misconduct. The reporting duty is mandated by law, and is not discretionary.
One type of common attorney misconduct is the failure to disclose adverse law in presenting a matter in court. The failure to identify law adverse to an attorneys position in court filings and during oral argument violates the California Rules of Professional Conduct, Business and Professions Code, ABA Model Rules, and decisional law. The document set embedded at the bottom of this post includes these authorities.

So today Blizard Physiotherapy put on a turbo session with Kev Dawson for the members of Doncaster Triathlon Club.
With a slight sense of trepidation I signed up for the session. I mean this was Kev Dawson the World Record holding RAAM rider, the 11 time Best British All Rounder, fastest rider at Outlaw for 2012 and 2013. The man is a living legend. When it comes to cycling there are few who know more about the sport in my opinion.
I had no idea how much Kev would hurt us.
I can however safely say I have never sweated so much in my life.
The session was held at Hatfield Marina and started at 10:30.
Everyone was nicely warmed up on their turbos by then. Kev then explained the session to us.
The first portion would be a warm up consisting of four minutes of pedalling at around 100rpm.
Then we would start the spin ups to ensure an adequate warm up before commencing on the lactate threshold work and then rounding out the hour with some spin ups to act as a cool down and clear out our legs.
The spin ups consisted of 10 reps of 10 seconds of high cadence pedalling with 20 second of easy pedalling. After the 10th rep, I thought to myself. "And this is still the warm up" as I had sweat leaking from every pore on my body.
But Kev wasn't finished with us just yet. We then proceeded with 5 reps of 20 secs high cadence pedalling with 40 seconds of normal pedalling.
Well and truly warmed up. Well truth be known I was actually blowing out my a*se at this point. We were to start the main session. Oh the joys.
The main session was 40 seconds pedalling at 7/10 effort or just above lactate threshold HR (LTHR) which meant just above 159BPM for me. Then 80 seconds pedalling at just under lactate threshold HR repeated 4 times.
Then 2 minutes of easy pedalling.
Then another 3 reps of the above 40 above LTHR 80 below LTHR but this time working at 8/10 effort.
Another 2 minutes of easy pedalling.
The towel I had taken to mop up the sweat was dripping by this point. I don't know if it was drying me off or spreading the sweat around my body.
Kev finished the main set with another 2 reps of 40 above LTHR and 80 below LTHR but with an effort of 9/10.
By this point I was feeling absolutely horrific. Maybe I shouldn't have run that 5km after my open water swim.
Finally the main set finished. All that was left was the cool down. This consisted of 2 reps of 10sec fast 20 seconds normal, 2 reps of 20 seconds high cadence 20 seconds normal and one rep of 30 seconds high cadence pedalling 30 secs normal pedalling.
I peeled myself from my sweat drenched saddle to stand on incredibly wobbly legs a dripping, shaking mess.
I have never worked as hard on a turbo before and I felt bloody fantastic when my legs started working again.
After rehydrating I listened to Kev who was sharing some of his vast knowledge with the rest of my triathlon club.
Many thanks to Kev Dawson and Blizard Physiotherpay for putting on the session which is the hardest I have ever worked in under one hour.
And who said that cycling on a turbo wasn't hard work.
Thats all from me,

Newspaper shooting
Five people are dead and many more injured after a lone shooter opened fire with a long gun inside Maryland's Capital Gazette newsroom.I note that Q warned that there would be more attacks in the coming weeks. This thing stinks of chicanery.
Police responded within 60 seconds to reports of an active shooter at the newsroom in the 800 block of Bestgate Road, Annapolis, at around 2.40pm. Acting police chief William Kamph confirmed that five people died and at least three others were gravely injured in the attack.
The suspect has been taken into custody but is refusing to identify himself to authorities. He is a white male believed to aged in his 20s. NBC reported that the shooter had a ponytail and was wearing a black t-shirt, olive pants at the time.
Police say the shooter is still being interrogated and they don't have a motive for the shooting. CBS is reporting that the gunman purposely damaged his fingertips so investigators couldn't fingerprint him.
UPDATE: And they're blaming Milo? WTF is that all about?
Faizal Khamisa@SNFaizalKhamisaHow many times do we need to go through this routine? If it's not another left-wing whacko, it's most likely a live-action version of the fake Pizzagate shooter. Milo likely has it right:
Two days ago the President called the media the enemy. Two days ago Milo Yiannopoulos told people to start gunning down journalists. Today an active shooter fires inside the Capital Gazette leaving journalists and others dead. How can any of you support these people?
I wouldn't be at all surprised if this shooter - just like the last one at YouTube - is another demented left-winger.
UPDATE: Q is on it. The newspaper shooting appears to have been a stage-managed affair.
Why are Freemasons on the scene of most shooting locations?Which is to say, the only correct response is, of course, #wompwomp.
Openly giving interviews or in background shots?
Symbolism will be their downfall.

Unless you're a graphic designer or a typographer, you probably don't stop to think about seemingly tiny details such as typeface on a page. Completely understandable but would you, if you knew it could make a tangible difference in the success of your business? Or how about if you knew that most often it's the seemingly unimportant, micro decisions about things like fonts (or waiting room chairs, colors, signage, menu items, etc.) that when strung together add up to long-term business success?
Buying decisions are driven in large part by feelings:
According to experts, 90% of purchasing decisions are made at an unconscious level by a brain that's on autopilot most of the time. Big brands know this and have been capitalizing on these facts for a long (long) time. That's why most Gen Xers born in the United States have instant recall and sudden happy feelings when hearing the Oscar Meyer Bologna commercial jingle. It's also why the experience of hearing it (or even the mention of it) makes us want to break out singing. Right?
Typography creates feelings:
Think about the appeal of Apple. They're firmly rooted in a consistent font (Myriad) along with colors, use of white space, and other design elements. When you see something of theirs, or walk into an Apple store, you know where you are and what to expect. They're also highly focused on creating feelings and work hard to ensure their products (including their typefaces) conjure up the "I'm a cool kid" feeling that most of us crave.
Typography goes unnoticed by our conscious minds:
You see a document fresh off the printer at work. It's in Microsoft Word's default font, Cambria. When this happens repeatedly, your brain unconsciously begins associating that typeface with "typical" work documents. The same thing happens when you're at a fine dining establishment where fancy script fonts are associated with an expensive steak, or how bubbly balloon style typeface makes us think "retro" or "vintage."
The impact of typography – what we need to know:
Typography impacts us in the same way movie editing and camera angles do. As an audience we don't think about those things, we simply enjoy the show and never stop to think about how tweaking this or that changes the outcome. It's akin to the "you don't know what you don't know until you know it" conundrum. But film directors understand what pleases their audience and that's exactly what you also have to know about typefaces in order to differentiate your business.
Typography goes unnoticed until…
When everything looks (feels, smells, tastes, and sounds) the same we go "blind" to the impact and unfortunately we're inundated with typography constantly so we walk around font-blind most of the time. To evoke a conscious experience with typeface, it has to disrupt so we take notice. This happens when unusual, uncommon, or custom fonts are used. To tap into unconscious feelings that lead to buying decisions, chosen typefaces have to be associated with good feelings rather than neutral experiences such as work documents. Being aware of these considerations will help you choose the right look for your audience.
Find the typeface that propels your business forward:
A skilled graphic designer knows how to choose typefaces that will resonate; with your audience, the message you want to convey, and the personality of your business. We're happy to help if you need it. In the meantime, here are a few important things to consider when planning your next design project:
- Match the typeface with the way you want your customers to feel
- Ensure text is easy to read especially in long copy blocks and presentations
Mix and match font sizes to increase readability
- Try different letter and line spacing too
- If you're pairing two typefaces on one document go with high contrast fonts
- When combining fonts with visuals to tell a story, fewer words are better
The net-net: What you say matters and how it looks is equally important!

Destiny 2 Patch 1.1.0 Notes
As the Curse of Osiris DLC drops so do a multitude of changes and balances for D2 as a whole. Grenades see a list of changes bringing them inline with each other and all the classes have been addressed to even them out against each other. Recommended light levels receive an increase for many activities and the drop rate for level 20+ players lessens the grind for all. Most of all though is the multitude of lists of 'fixes' ranging from equipment to activities and even the way the game functions. Many of these can be easily considered Quality of Life improvements.
The only thing that worries me is the lack of "Known Issues" present in previous patch/hotfix updates. It can not be possible that ALL issues or bugs have been resolved and I think it is more of a courtesy to let us know what to avoid or may be wrong going into it. All in all though I like the changes and we'll just have to play and find out what's still broken and what is newly broken.

Radiation from mobile phones and towers poses serious health risks, including memory loss, lack of concentration, disturbance in the digestive system and sleep disturbances, according to an inter-ministerial committee formed by the ministry of communications and information technology to study the hazards posed by mobile phones
The committee has also attributed disappearance of butterflies, bees, insects and sparrows from big cities to mobile phone-related radiation.
The eight member committee, which included representatives from the health ministry, department of biotechnology and member secretary, DoT, has recommended that mobile phones not adhering to standard levels of specific absorption rate [SAR]—a measure of the amount of radiofrequency energy absorbed by the body while using a phone—should be barred.
Mobile towers should not be installed near high-density residential areas, schools, playgrounds and hospitals. The localized SAR value as per Indian guidelines standard is 2 watt per kg, av over a 6-minute period and using a 10 gm av mass. Recommended SAR value is 1.6 watt/kg AS prescribed by Federal communications commission of U S, said a member. SAR value must be observed by Mobile companies at all cost otherwise, outbreak of health hazards could not be ruled out in near future.

Its funny that I have lived in this house for 5 years, and not really liked it. Now we are moving we have the house looking great. Its also amazing what a lick of paint can do to a room.
Anyhoo, I promised I would show you one of my improvements to a cabinet.
Below is the finished project. Love it
And here is the same area before. Hate it...
There are literally a thousand tutorials on how to paint furniture, so I am not going to show you that. However, this cabinet was goint to be painted white.
The only problem was, the drawers had chunks out of the bottom corners, not so noticable when brown, (definately noticable in person). But if painted white, the missing chunks would have stood out.
Wandering the aisles of my local hardware store, I was thinking that wood putty or some sort of filler would do the job. But then I came across this little beauty...
It is really easy to use (make sure you use rubber gloves) basically you cut off the amount you need, knead it until the colour is uniform and then mould it to shape. I found it attached really easily and I was able to shape it in place. And then it was dry in about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes I was able to sand it smooth and shape it into a better corner shape
Apparently you can nail into it and drill it etc. I didn't need to do anything further, other than paint the cabinet. We then installed the tv, attatching the tie down strap from the tv to the cabinet. I was paranoid the kids will pull the tv onto themselves, but that baby is not going anywhere.
Somehow, I got lucky and there is a solid piece of wood that I screwed the tie down strap into, not just the plywood backing :-)
Here is the finished project. And a gold star goes out to the person who can spot the patched up drawers. Heres a tip - I don't even know unless I look at the back unpainted side.

It is another Favourites sort of thing. I can't believe that it is August, I'm nearly back to school! We won't talk about this now. Here is what I have loved in June and July.
Central Intelligence
Harry Potter Books
Rosy Cheeks Face Mask
Philip DeFranco
Trip To London
Sleek Matte Me Birthday Suit
It lasts long for a lipstick on me, the only time I have to reapply is when I have eaten or drank something. I love the colour and I want to try out more from this range when I have finished my Project Pan.
Style Book

Thanks for being awesome,

We don't go through pain for the sake of just being in pain. We experience pain for God's glory. Our pain has a purpose but during that gut wrenching redefining process we can't see far enough down the road to see the reason for that pain nor the beauty and comfort that awaits us.
I'd rather experience pain with a purpose and that is why I lay all my troubles---all of my hurts at His feet. For when I do He takes my mess and restores me in such a way that my box-like thinking can't comprehend.
Jeremiah 30 says "Restoration is Promised". No where does it say that restoration is possible---but that it's promised. If God cared enough for the people of Israel how much more do you think He cares for you.
Further, we are under a covenant called prevenient grace which means that before a man could seek God, God must of first sought out man. God knew this before drawing Himself to us with a specific purpose in mind. Surely, if God cared enough to seek man, He cares enough to restore the man He has created.
This road is narrow which also means the pursuit of God is as intense as a narrow, steep path rounding the most challenging mountain. It is dangerous with a lot of risks but once you reach the end of the road you will see why it had to be so.

Wellness CORE Grain Free Kitten Formula
Best Kitten Food
See it at:
Expert Review
Wellness CORE dry kitten food is widely available, moderately priced, and packed with the nutrients a growing cat needs. Their grain free recipe contains a minimum of 45 percent protein and 18 percent fat, and DHA to aid visual and cognitive development. It contains no GMOs, meat byproducts, wheat, corn, soy, artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and is formulated to meet the nutrition levels set by the AAFCO for growth. Many kibbles of comparable cost have far less nutrients. Wellness CORE dry kitten food tops my list for being available at most pet stores and rivaling the health content of scantily available, all natural pet foods.

I hadn't expected to hear from Lily again, I'm not sure why, maybe because I had figured that I had made her uncomfortable during our meeting and who would want to go through that twice, so it was a surprise when she called me early Saturday afternoon. I was still a bit unnerved about Ethan's somewhat secretive phone call although I told myself that this reunion with Lily was what had me on edge and that I was overreacting where no reaction was needed. While nibbling on the homemade blueberry pancakes Ethan had made and served me in bed my cell phone began chirping at me. It caught me by surprise because hardly anyone ever called me. This is, after all, the age of texting and as little human interaction as possible.
Glancing at my screen I didn't recognize the number which would usually warrant a silence of the ringer on my end but for some reason I chose to answer it instead.
"This better be as good as the amazing blueberry pancakes my husband has just served me."
"Oh, uh, hi. It's, um, me."
I rolled my eyes at the introduction. Telemarketers were getting creative with their recorded messages these days and I had had more than my share of the junk calls. Just as I pulled my phone away from my ear to disconnect the call the voice came again.
"This is Lily."
My finger hovered over the disconnect button while my other hand froze in mid bite, syrup slowly dripping off my fork. The words froze in my throat all I could do was sit with my mouth open, eyes wide. Just then, Ethan entered the room.
"Ready for mo-"
He stopped mid sentence, a cup of orange juice in one hand, a small basket of fruit in the other. His eyes slowly widened and I wondered what kind of look I had on my face.
"Lily," I mouthed the words, laying my fork down on my plate and sliding the whole thing onto the bedside table. The words were stuck in my throat so I sat there, gaping, like a washed up fish trying to pull air into its lungs.
"I'm sure you don't want to talk to me after the way our meeting went, but I just called to apologize."
Instead of reassuring her that she hadn't done anything wrong and instead of apologizing on my own behalf for having shocked her and probably hurting her with the truth, I said, "For?"
She laughed nervously.
"Honestly, I'm not sure? For disappointing you, for not knowing the right things to say? For missed time? For, well for everything."
I didn't know what to say to this, I certainly hadn't expected this. I hadn't expected to hear from Lily again at all.
"Well, I'm sure you had your reasons. Besides, there's not much use in crying over the past. Anyways, let's agree to accept each other's apologies and just let it be."
Lily sniffles a bit on the other end.
"Are, are you… crying?"
Here was yet another thing I hadn't expected. I wasn't really sure what I had expected but it wasn't a woman I didn't know blubbering on the phone with me for something as trivial as giving her child up for adoption. Or maybe she was crying because our meeting hadn't gone as planned. Or maybe it was the stress from the whole situation.
"I'm just, I just, you know…"
I waited a moment for her to finish her sentence and wondered if she had disconnected the call. Beside me, Ethan had started snacking on breakfast, half watching the morning news which he had turned down low. I chewed on my bottom lip while I waited for Lily to finish her sentence.
The morning sun shown through the window and onto the carpet, making patterns, circles and lines that I had never noticed the sun did before. It was mesmerizing to watch the slivers and bubbles of light slowly twist and dance on the carpet. The colors were brilliant, purples and pinks and golds and even a green somehow. It seemed as though everything else faded away except for these colors. It was almost as though I had tunnel vision, everything else around me save for these beautiful colors faded away, the noises, the room, the furniture. All I was aware of was the colors and of my own breath coming in slowly, going out slowly, the gentle beat of my heart.
I blinked and suddenly Ethan was shaking me, trying to get my attention.
"Christ! You scared the hell outta me! Where'd you go?"
I looked around the room, everything looked the same, maybe a bit dimmer outside than it had been a moment ago.
I tried to control the feeling of panic inside while I tried to comprehend what had just happened. The phone lay in my lap, the screen dark.
"You've been sitting there like that, staring off into space, at the ground actually, for close to four hours. At first I thought you were just daydreaming but even when i snapped my fingers, shook you gently, clapped my hands, nothing."
Ethan had at some point knelt on the bed in front of me, his hands on either side of my face, his own face very close to mine, worry laced in his eyes. I looked to the spot on the carpet where the brilliant light had been shining but now there was only darkness. The darkness had swallowed the brilliant, beautiful light.

Stranraer lifeboat assists fishing boat with dragging anchor
On Sunday 29th January, Belfast coastguard requested the assistance of Stranraer RNLI Lifeboat to go to the aid of fishing boat AMPS which had lost all power and was dragging its anchor heading towards the rocks.
After launching from Ardwell slip, the lifeboat was soon along side the vessel where the crew were well, and relieved to see the lifeboat. The volunteer lifeboat crew rigged up a tow and passed it to the fishing boat. With Drummore harbour a no-go because of the low tide Stranraer lifeboat headed towards port William where they met up with Port William inshore rescue boat (IRB) and swapped over the tow of FV Amps. Port William IRB headed towards Port William harbour. Stranraer lifeboat then recovered at Ardwell slip and headed back to the lifeboat station by road.

Key facts about the RNLI
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is the charity that saves lives at sea. Our volunteers provide a 24-hour search and rescue service in the United Kingdom and Ireland from 238 lifeboat stations, including four along the River Thames and inland lifeboat stations at Loch Ness, Lough Derg, Enniskillen, Carrybridge and Lough Ree. Additionally the RNLI has more than 1,000 lifeguards on over 240 beaches around the UK and operates a specialist flood rescue team, which can respond anywhere across the UK and Ireland when inland flooding puts lives at risk.
The RNLI relies on public donations and legacies to maintain its rescue service. As a charity it is separate from, but works alongside, government-controlled and funded coastguard services. Since the RNLI was founded in 1824 our lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved at least 140,000 lives. Volunteers make up 95% of the charity, including 4,600 volunteer lifeboat crew members and 3,000 volunteer shore crew. Additionally, tens of thousands of other dedicated volunteers raise funds and awareness, give safety advice, and help in our museums, shops and offices.

Olivia Waite is a romance author, practicing feminist, and wide-ranging dilettante.
I have a soft spot for Susanna Fraser's Spanish-set historicals -- as someone who writes things closer to the parlor-ballroom-bedroom romp side of the spectrum, I find it refreshing to watch romances bloom amid the ordered chaos of a Peninsular War army unit on the march. So when I heard she was coming out with a historical novella with a black corporal hero, I preordered so fast the button smoked a little bit.
The book turned out to be a lovely, breezy read: not too angsty, which fit my mood just perfectly. Elijah's race is an issue, but it's not the issue -- or at least, it's the issue for some secondary assholes but it's not the issue between him and Rose, our heroine. Which is rather a sleek illustration of the way bigotry erases the humanity of its victims: bigots object to the hero and heroine's marriage solely on account of his skin color, even though, without being too spoilerish, there are possible objections that do not take Elijah's race into account.
Truth be told, at the book's end, I kind of wanted more. (The sentence that shall be written on every novella author's tombstone: I wanted more.) I liked Elijah, especially when he was feeling hopeless and lovelorn. I liked Rose, especially when she got to cook things. I wanted to spend more time with them (and watching them suffer -- they suffered so beautifully!). I have a suspicion as to the hero of her next book (she said, steepling her fingers) and I can't wait.
Recommended if you're looking for something pleasant, sweet, and 50% less white than most historical romances.
Full disclosure: the author and I have shared many lovely meals and are what may be referred to as 'chums.'

In a bid to combat and deter car thieves, Peugeot is introducing a new security system called 'mighty dot' to help the Police to track stolen vehicles. Mighty dot can be applied to any new or used Peugeot vehicle and is available at Peugeot dealerships around the UK – giving customers added peace of mind.
Mighty dot is a system where a vehicle's identity is discretely sprayed onto a car's bodywork with the car's identification features stored in a pin number in each dot. The pin number is recorded with the International Security Register which can be accessed at any time.
The dots which are the size of a grain of sand, are laser etched with a code and are invisible to the naked eye. The dots are only visible under ultra violet light and can be read when placed under a microscope.
Developed in Australia by the National Motor Vehicle Theft Reduction Council, the mighty dot system has virtually eliminated the theft of treated vehicles.
Peter Williams, commercial director of parts & service at Peugeot says: "Car theft worldwide is big business. A car is stolen somewhere every 10 seconds costing over £12 billion per year. The microdots allow tracking of cars broken up for parts as well as cars stolen for selling on. The microdot system only has to be applied once using an environmentally friendly water based adhesive, and it will last the life of the vehicle – offering our customers complete peace of mind."
Mighty dot has been Thatcham approved, and is now available through Peugeot's dealer network at a cost of £220 (inclusive of VAT) per vehicle.Published 15 March 2003

This topic was surprising to me when I first read about it in the New York Times blog, Well (a longer article is in The Guardian). We wrote about it in our article 読書と長生き.
When I thought more about reading and longevity, it made more sense. When you read a novel or non-fiction book, you have to follow the story and pay attention to details for several hours for a week or more while you read the book. For fiction, you have to understand how characters are related and remember their actions so you can make connections later on in the book. For non-fiction, the author makes a claim, or tries to explain a point, and you have to keep all of the details in your head to understand the main points.
It is interesting that the study does not show the same benefits for short writings, like newspaper and magazine articles. Perhaps that is because these are short and the brain does not have to make connections between lots of information for a long time.
Some of my favorite books to read are classics like To Kill a Mockingbird and history books like Rubicon.

While there are tons of organizations and individuals that trade daily, about trading but I know it's the way to make money and lots of it. It offers the investors a quick and accessible in a system or communication network rather than on an actual physical trading floor. However many large financial institutions around the world, and indeed individual traders, make consistent profits from trading forex markets, work experience, clerks, and professional card player. Even though the market was set up for a trade, the safe play was to wait for bad decision making, terrible luck and most of all, simply lacking the knowledge and training needed in order to become a successful Foreign Exchange trader. Forex trading is a game of odds and having the sentiment behind the chart movements is it, repeating it over and over again until you got good enough to pass the stage?

Hope Is Near
That cold touch, cold to the core
The touch that makes your bones go numb, heart as cold as ice
Sends shivers down my stony spine
Glancing out in the blur, venturing on the lonely path
Abandonment drains my life away, wasting away gradually
Lost in the journey unknown, where my eyes go blind
I reach for the light, but my arms give out
Like stones trampling heavily over my might
I must reach the light, oh, so bright,
Tears running down my cold stoned face, no hope, what's left?
Should my sorrows drain my one hope left in me?
That's it! Oh, how could one's eyes be so blind!
It was my future, luring me in eager for joy and treasury!
I must live as if yesterday never ceased to exist

1. Lack of Fitness - any gains made during last summer's touch rugby have slowly but surely ebbed away during the autumn and winter. I have all the strength of a malnourished gnat, all the stamina of an asthmatic mayfly and all the muscle definition of strawberry jelly. Frankly I wouldn't last 5 minutes on a rugby pitch at the moment.
2. Illness - November in particular was a disaster health-wise. Head cold, sinus problems, labarynthitis, vomiting bug, back spasms. Not good. December was marginally better but the festive season wasn't exactly illness-free either. Bah humbug.
3. Weekend distractions - my 8 year old boy's footballing commitments mean that Saturday and Sunday mornings are largely both taken up driving him to various parts of Watford and Hemel and giving vociferous non-expert "advice" from the touchline, leaving precious little time for much else.
4. No Vets - my club hasn't been putting out a Vets team this season so the incentive to get myself fit and make myself available just hasn't been there. Running around with a bunch of teens in the 3rd XV doesn't have the same appeal somehow. Feeble excuse I know but I'm grasping at straws now.
5. Reality - much like my orange-skinned role model from the Valleys, I really do need to keep my weekends free for offers to take part in reality telly programmes such as Strictly Celebrity Big Brother Get Me Out of Here On Ice.
6. Laziness - the painful truth of it all is that, deep down, I'm a lazy bar steward.
All is not, however, lost. I do have a plan of sorts:
- Lose weight - yes, that old chestnut. Fact is, however, that I shed more than a few pounds between August and December last year simply by cutting down on alcohol and not eating crap like crisps, cakes and biscuits. It wasn't that difficult and I keep telling myself that the fact that I spent most of November feeling dreadful was purely coincidental. So, here it is, as from today I'm off the booze until further notice. Blimey, did I really just say that?
- Get Fit - the plan is to get down to the gym and out on the road for the next couple of months and recover a semblance of fitness so that I can approach the Touch Rugby "season" again in May with a degree of confidence. Who knows, it may even lead to a bit of proper pre-season training over the summer.
- Make myself available for World Cup selection, a plan that is only marginally more ludicrous than that of a certain uber-tanned former ballroom dancer from Bridgend.

Barn Style Coop w/Storage
I used graph paper for my plans, so 1 square = 6". I don't think the squares come through too well in the photos below, but they translate a little better in the PDF Coop Plans.
Before construction of the coop and run could begin we had to decide on a location for our birds. I had considered having them in a spot in our yard that had nice grass and a gentle slope so rain water would drain off. (Actually most of our yard is on a gentle - and sometimes not so gentle- slope.) My dad recommended that we not put them in the grassy spot, because they'd have that spot picked clean in no time. So we opted instead to put them in a shadier part of our yard to help protect them from the East Texas heat, and that had no nice grass to speak of. But we had to remove a few trees first, so hubby got to play lumberjack. We needed some firewood for this winter anyway, and we both dislike sweetgum trees. It's very painful to be walking barefoot through the yard and step on one of those things or to be minding one's own business and have one fired at you by the lawnmower.
July 5, 2010
We thinned out three trees to make room for the coop. We got two of the trees cut up into wood and moved to the wood stack, but hubby used his tractor to push the big sweetgum out of the way. We didn't want to cut it up and put it away because we were both tired and ready to get inside and out of the heat!
July 8, 2010
That stack of lumber is for the coop. The yellow marks the outline of the coop. You can see the big sweetgum in the background.
After we thinned a few trees hubby had to level the area where the chicken coop would sit. It gave him an excuse to play on his tractor, and that always makes him happy. Unfortunately, I had to work, so I couldn't take any snapshots of him doing what he so loves to do.
July 9, 2010
The chickies arrived! I spent the majority o the morning getting them settled in their coop. They were sooo adorable. I really wanted to take off work and spend the day with them, but duty called...
July 10, 2010
Hubby and one of his employees get the foundation of the coop put down.
Even though it doesn't look like it in this picture (because I can't take a straight photo) hubby put the coop a little out of level sloping toward the back so when we clean out the coop water would drain out the back door.July 11, 2010
Hubby starts laying out the gambrel roof joists. Once he got his angles layed out it was time to cut them and nail them together. And I helped!
Getting the roof layed out so he knows what angles to cut the 2X4's on.
Cutting the pieces that hold the rafter joints together
Our rafters - all cut up, assembled and ready to be put on the roofOnce the rafters were assembled we called it a day. It was hot, and I was ready to go play with my chicks!
July 26, 2010
After weeks of sitting around waiting for some work to turn up, hubby (who is a contractor and residential framer) gets a call about a job, so the coop sits idle for a couple of weeks while he's off earning a living. (Darn it!) But once he finishes he and the crew get back on the coop. Despite some rain in the morning which caused a late start, the guys get all the studs up.July 27, 2010
Hubby got a call about another job, so he left two of his guys to work on the coop while he went and looked at the job. Kelly and Sam got the rafters and metal roof put on in by lunch time!
July 29, 2010
Another day of coop working for hubs and crew. They got lots done today!
And the OSB for the lot storage area got put in too.
Interior view of the vent fan. It is temperature sensitive, so I can set it to come on when the temps get above X degrees. Pretty stoked about that, and the fact that it cost me ZERO dineros! Hubby saved it from a remodel he did for his mom's B&B. She converted her attic into a 4th bedroom, and the fan was in the attic when it was an attic.

Hubby and crew had another productive day today.
They got the trim put up and the door hung.
They also got the spot where my nest boxes will be hung framed.
And built a back door.I must say I am pretty impressed with my junk barn treasures. I got the door and my nest boxes there. Both cost me $30 apiece. Not too shabby for a solid wood door that's in decent condition and just needs to be stripped and repainted. The nest boxes look pretty dingy, but they're structurally sound.August 5, 2010
Another break in the work process because of paying gigs. But we got back on the project and primed the coop. We taped up the windows because we had originally thought about just spraying the coop (we even bought the sprayer). But after reading some advice over on the forum we decided to roll on the paint. Per the wise sages on the boards, spraying the coop would merely form a layer of paint on the top of the OSB and wouldn't get the paint into all the nooks and crannies. That would result in us probably having to repaint in a few years. No thanks!! So roll the coop we did!August 6, 2010
Hubby and the guys got our fence put up! We bought 7 6' X 10' chain link panels out of The Peddler, which is like the East Texas version of Craigslist - but with a print edition.
Good thing this project was getting close to done. The chicks were quickly outgrowing their pens! And I was tired of carrying them out to their temporary play yard every day, then toting them back in at night!
Hardware cloth on bottom of fence to keep snakes out. It needs to be turned on a 90 degree to protude and impale snakes.August 7, 2010
After we went to Sherwin Williams and spent a small fortune on paint, I read on the message boards about oops paint. Oops paint from the big box stores is miscolored paint that customers have returned. The stores sell it really cheap. Wish I'd known that before I went to SW. I can't return colored paint. But they sell good quality paint that should last a long time. And on the plus side we were able to use exterior paint that we already had on hand. We bought it a couple of years ago when we repainted our A-frame guest house. Rustic red - it's perfect for the coop!!
Looks awesome after one coat of Sherwin Williams 25 year super paint.
We sanded our recycled door and started repainting it with an oil based paint. Even though this oil based paint is supposed to be longer lasting I wish I'd just used latex. It's so much easier to work with, and it is so much more forgiving to bad painters like me!
Hubby and crew got the netting put up on the run area.
And my newly painted recycled nest boxes got installed in the coop. In hindsight I should have used a flat spray paint rather than a glossy one, but they look a million times better than before so I'm not going to nitpick!
Back of nest boxes. See the paint on the interior of the coop. I think it looks bueno!August 8, 2010
We were on a roll with the coop! Getting lots done, but still plenty to be done.
Window screens hubby built to critter proof windows - to be installed soon.
Screen door to separate chicken and storage area. Hubby built it using his pocket screw jig. Behind the screen door is the rear access panel for the nest boxes. Also built with pocket screws.
Screen door is hung!
Screen door hardware on!
Window screens on and fastened
Window screen open.We decided to put the window screens on the inside o the coop because our weather here in East Texas is very humid. I was concerned if I hung them on the outside on the trim moisture trapped between the trim and screen would cause the wood to rot. We didn't screw hardware cloth directly to the exterior of the coop because the windows came with screens which I want to leave on to keep bugs out and yet still have easy access to. Having to unscrew hardware cloth to clean out the screens didn't sound like much fun.I realize it would have been cheaper to use chicken wire to separate the storage and chicken area, but chicken wire is a pain in the butt to work with, and hubby's patience was running thin, so we used hardware cloth. Expensive, yes, but cheaper than a divorce or my husband's nervous break down. I'm pretty sure we would have experienced one had I insisted on chicken wire.
Hanging the hardware cloth.
Brother-in-law and sister-in-law helping hubby while I snap pictures.
The back of the nest boxes is put on.
Showing my niece how to access the nest boxes. Gotta get her broken in before the girls start laying.
She's got the hang of it!After we got the hardware cloth installed and my niece thoroughly schooled on egg collecting, we put the first coat of porch paint on the floor. I wish I'd read the boards a little more closely. I think we would have opted for a vinyl floor rather than painting. I think vinyl would have been a lot quicker, but not necessarily cheaper.
One coat down. One more to go.
August 9, 2010A busy day for my hubs. He got the pop door put in. I'm so proud of him (and he's proud of himsel). He's not 'crafty', but I explained to him how I wanted the pop door to work, and he figured it all out on his own. And the pop door works marvelously!!
He also got the exterior ramp built, and we put the 2nd (and last) coat of porch paint on the coop floor. We probably should have done 3 coats, but I'm impatient, and those chicks really needed the extra space!

We still had some things to do in the coop, but the chicken side was ready for business, so the peeps got to move into their coop!!! I know I was more excited about it than they were. Here's what the coop looked like right before I added the chickens:
I put a baby roost in the coop for them, because at 4 weeks they wouldn't use a real roost.
Here are my 4 week old chicks enjoying their 1st moments in the new coop. Let the pooping commence!!I ended up moving the food and water under the nest boxes, because I didn't like where it was. The chicks all huddled up in the far right hand corner of the coop for the night. And as of 8 weeks old they're still sleeping there.
August 12, 2010
My yard looked like like a puzzle piece today because my hubby rented a trencher to dig the lines for my water and electricity hook ups. The water lines all got run, but I'm still waiting for my master electrician brother to come and pull the wire for the chicken house. No water in the coop yet, but having an outdoor spigot on the backside of the coop is awesome!!August 18, 2010
My little brother got the lights hooked up in the chicken house. Now I can see after dusk without having to lug a flashlight out to the coop with me!! Still waiting on him to get the electrical outlets hooked up.August 28, 2010
My brother finished hooking up the electrical outlets and the exhaust fan. Now I have enough plugs to run an air conditioner, a couple of heat lamps, and just about anything else I'll need to plug in out in the coop!
Woo hoo! Working plugs!
Plug behind the storage cans will be used in the summer to run a small a/c unit when necessary
The plug on the back wall will be used to power heat lamps for a brooder.September 1, 2010
Hubby got the exhaust fan cover put on the front of the coop!September 2, 2010
Hubby got the water hooked up in the coop AND got my countertop and shelves installed!! He used left over materials from old jobs. The U joint under the sink is leaking a tad (he's a carpenter not a plumber), but witha small trash can placed strategically under the U joint we are good to go. I am ecstatic beyond belief!
View from outside the coop
Yep, folks, that's running water. Check out the light switch and electrical outlet too!
My shelves - already starting to get filled

Hubby got the roosts built today! They look great, and a few of the peeps were checking them out the first night.
A few of the peepers slept on them the first night.September 14, 2010
I was a little worried that some of the chickens (especially the Silkies) weren't big enough to fly up to sit on the roosts, so my wonderful husband built a little ladder for them to climb up.
We left the baby roost in for a few days until the peeps figured out where they were supposed to sleep. Now it's out in the chicken yard.September 16, 2010
Today I finally got into the coop and put sand in the roosting pans. I had originally bought some cat litter to put in the pans, but when I got it home I realized that the litter I picked up was full of chemicals, and I didn't want my chicks to eat that. So I went to Lowe's and bought some contractor's sand. I put about 1/2 an inch of sand in the pans, then I sprinkled a liberal amount of diatomaceous earth in them to help prevent odors. I also poured a good bit of Sweet PDZ in the pans. Trying to keep the stink down!
Sure didn't take them long to get the roosts all poopy.September 29, 2010
My awesome hubby built me a great feeder based on the design of a fellow BYCer. Many thanks to turbokev for sharing his design! We built our feeder 8" deep rather than kev's 6" deep. I wish now I'd kept the depth at 6" and made it wider to fit across the whole interior of the coop clean out door. It would have taken up less room in the coop, and more chicks could feed at one time. I was worried that because of the narrowness of the feeder and the number of birds we have (23 at this posting) some of our peeps wouldn't be able to get in to eat, but they seem to be sharing pretty well.
We initially put the feeder in the coop without putting a lip on the front of it. Boy was that a mistake! My chicks billed through 50 pounds of feed in just a little over a week! Typically it takes us 2-3 weeks for us to go through that much food, so hubby put a small piece of 1X4 across the front of the feeder to keep them from wasting much food. It's working great now! And it's so nice not to have to go out every morning and refill the feeders. Additionally my peeps were starting to get too big to fit their beaks through the chick feeder holes. cle
The chicks are roosting on top of the feeder, so we had to put a little piece of lumber at an angle to keep them from pooping in their food.

Well, we (and this time by we I actually mean we not just my hubby) got the broody hen pen and the brooder finished up this weekend. We bought a roll of 100' roll of 24" X 1" X 2" rabbit wire and built two cages out of that wire. The brooder is 20" deep X 55" long by 24" tall. It is suspended from the ceiling so I can raise and lower it. (There is a window to the right of the brooder, and I want to be able to open and close that window, so I'll need a way to get the brooder out of the way when I need to do so.) There is a 4" tall wooden tray in the bottom of the cage, so when the peeps move on to bigger and better digs, I can easily remove the pan and haul its contents out to the compost pile. The broody hen pen is 24" deep X 55" long X 24" tall. It also has a removable tray in the bottom. Eventually we'll (and this we means hubby) put access to the outside of the coop from the pen, but since none of our girls are laying, we don't have to worry about that just yet.
To reinforce the strength of the wire hubby stapled a 1" X 4" inside the cages across the front directly above the tray pull out, and he stapled a piece of plywood to the bottom of the cage. We have 8 chicks due to arrive on the 15th, so I'm anxious to see how this setup works out.

Close up of brooder. I ended up cutting a hole in the top right side of cage so I could easily lower the light closer to the chicks.The peeps have only been in the coop about two months, and so far things are working out pretty well. I think eventually though I'll wish for a little more room. (Don't we all!) Good thing I'm married to a carpenter who has the skills required to make coop additions. The question is now, will I be able to talk him into making those additions...
