VIDEO: A re-imagining of Spring's world-view.
How does one know a place? Or express a place? Or get beneath the surface of what's abstracted from everyday life?
What follows is a brief glimpse into Larry Spring's Fort Bragg world. Here the influence of 'place' and how it may have informed Spring's thinking and cultural output can be imagined. Spring's experience of place was lived through both abstract spaces — Northern California as a source of esoteric energies — and material ones — the land, the town, the industry, and his building.
While the role and significance of rural Northern California's peculiarities is unquestionably essential to understanding Larry Spring, it would be easy to overstate its importance. In relation to Spring's personal biography and cultural production, however, the logic of time, place and changing social processes should not be overlooked.

Northern California has long been held in the American imagination as a place of limitless possibility. Its hardscrabble history is dramatized as what Larry Spring's long time friend Bob Kirtland called the "pioneering American spirit," (2015). This myth has origins in the Spanish colonial era when land originally settled by Coast Yukis, — and later the Pomo people — was exploited by successive waves of outsiders for economic opportunity.

After California entered into the Union, lumber barons moved north to forcibly claim Pomo tribal land.

After lumber interests suppressed the Pomo uprising, one hundred years of industrial colonialism followed. Infrastructure — camps, railroads, and sawmill sites — was hastily built on tribal land and the Pomo were forced into indentured servitude.
The 1906 earthquake was a boon for Fort Bragg. Lumber companies sold redwood to builders seeking to profit from the disaster.

After timber resources were stripped, the lumber companies sold cheap sections coined 'stump ranches' to economic migrants like Larry Spring's family.

Farming a stump ranch was a labourious. To maintain an arable plot, farmers had to constantly remove the redwood trees' sprouts from their roots
Larry Spring's family turned to mink farming as a way to bolster their ranch's yield.

The timber industry monopolized Fort Bragg's political and cultural economy. The town's first mayor was Union Lumber founder C.R. Johnson. While Johnson was not directly implicated, there was a struggle around the founding of Fort Bragg's first high school. The mill's manager took the battle to California's Supreme Court where he argued that Union Lumber's holdings would be unfairly taxed if a district high school were established.

The domination of a single resource industry had a lasting impact on Fort Bragg's fragile economy.

Prior to the mill's closure, more than half of Mendocino county's population had post-secondary education or training. However, the 2009 census determined that this figure had dropped to only 16% in Fort Bragg. As recently as 2014, Fort Bragg's College of the Redwoods had only one full-time employee — the custodian.

Logging culture was a mainstay of leisure time in Fort Bragg. In 1939, Union Lumber established the Paul Bunyan Days festival starring the 6'8" Charlie Buck.

Paul Bunyan Days continues to be celebrated despite the logging industry's legacy of economic and environmental devastation. In the struggle to recover, Fort Bragg trades in nostalgia to attract tourism and to buoy community spirit.

The myth of gigantism was taken from the Pacific northern redwood stands and became tied to northern California's identity. Despite the near demise of the giant redwood from over logging, single log houses and other gigantic timber-themed amusements became part of the leisure economy.

Postcards from Mendocino also played with nature's gigantism on land and sea. Mendocino's rough waters have been known to cause towering 'sneaker waves' that both deposit and remove life from the shoreline.

Visual jokes combined with hand-written commentary were popular in 1920's-era vernacular photography. Here, a group of friends juxtapose their diminutive bodies with the trunk of a giant redwood tree.

Larry Spring integrated the popular appeal of the oversized into his storefront window. This six-foot chainsaw has been on display since the 1950's and has been cited by a number of visitors as the reason they entered the building.

Union Lumber's 1753-year-old redwood round can be seen as a stand-in for the area's waves of colonization. Noted is the human chronology that features prominent moments in European history — 'Leif Ericson Lands on American Coast' and 'Signing of the Magna Carta' — yet omits regional narratives and any trace of indigenous peoples.
McKeating AM. Redwood slice timeline. 2013. Jpeg. Fort Bragg, California.
Fort Bragg's culture is distinctively self-sufficient. Mayor Dave Turner ascribes this to the confluence of outliers, isolation, and the town's flagging economy. "People here have to think for themselves and that means that unique things happen," (2015).
McKeating, AM. Lawn ornament. 2014. Jpeg. Fort Bragg, California.
Isolation and hard labour sometimes took its toll in unconventional ways. After his family 'back east' died in a fire, Union Lumber engineer William Bennet, carved a stand-in family out of redwood. According to the Fort Bragg Advocate-News, Bennet could be seen fanning his wooden wife on hot days.

Isolation could also foster positive social change. Lured to Fort Bragg by Union Lumber's recruitment ads, Finnish immigrants introduced an alternative value system through their collective approach to resource sharing.
Larry Spring's storefront was the original Finnish cooperative store.

In the late 1950's many artists who were attracted to the areas' rough coastline and roiling fog moved north to make creative works in relative isolation. Like Larry Spring's craft explorations, much of what was produced was specifically rooted in the area's natural environment.

Activist Norman de Vall related that many counter-culture migrants came to the north to escape the Cuban missile crisis' militaristic effect on Bay area politics.
By 1978, there were 23 communes in the area including messianic preacher Jim Jones' apocalyptic cult.
Bartley, Sylvia. Redwood Summer. 1990. Gelatin silver print. Fort Bragg, California.
Today, communes develop around the production of organic food, music, spirituality, and marijuana. Anecdotal evidence suggests that close to 70% of Fort Bragg's economy is sustained by cannabis.

Artists who were looking for alternatives to the middle-class lifestyle came to live in so-called 'Dada' houses where "full-sized adults could have a very simple time swinging in a living room sandbox," (de Vall 2015).
In the mid-sixties, artist Larry Fuente came north to make works obsessively concerned with surface ornamentation.

Larry Spring was fondly recalled as one of Fort Bragg's few 'old-timers' who was open to the counter culture's new ideas. "He was a draw, and people wanted to be around him. He wasn't the only one looking for a different understanding of the unknown," (de Vall 2015).
Photographer unknown. Larry Spring on a dune buggy. 1970. Colour transparency. Estate of Larry Spring. Fort Bragg, California.
Larry Fuente first encountered Larry Spring in 1968, "To me, the world needed to be more decorative, which is why I was attracted to Larry Spring's window. He was cool and had all sorts of weird things scattered around. I went to one of his lectures where he shared the secret of the universe," (2015).
McKeating, AM. Fuente re-enacting Spring's friction demonstration. 2015. Jpeg. Fort Bragg, California.
Artist Madame Chinchilla called Fort Bragg a "magnetic vortex" that influenced culture and identity. "When I arrived here 45 years ago, I was given permission to be who I am," (2015).
Spring, Larry. UFO in the Paul Bunyan Days Parade. 1978. Colour transparency. Estate of Larry Spring. Fort Bragg, California.
Larry Spring was an early adopter of solar energy and built miniature motors to harness its power. Spring demonstrated his Larry Spring Magnetic Levitation Mendocino Brushless Solar Motor at schools and selected solar energy events.
McKeating, AM. Motors and Map. 2015. Jpeg. Fort Bragg, California.
Nuclear technician Bill Roach described Larry Spring's inventive thinking as "a practical application of consciousness" that came from living on a foggy coastal range. "Water, trees, and isolation created an environment where you had to confront yourself. This resulted in a kind of mental activity that stimulated creativity," (2015).
McKeating AM. Beach Shelter. 2013. Jpeg. Fort Bragg, California.
Larry Spring's storefront eventully became wholly dedicated to the dissemination of his research. The path of Spring's inquiry that began with TV and antennae repair, was fully integrated into his experimental enterprise.
Brown, Heather. Larry in front of the school. 2004. Jpeg. Courtesy of Heather Brown. Fort Bragg, California.
Larry Spring was considered by community members to be integral to Fort Bragg's character. They continue to be very protective of his image and work.
Larry Spring's school — now a museum — exists namely because Fort Bragg's disparate economic and socio-cultural make up has made the town resistant to gentrification. After Union Lumber's closing, the town has struggled to find an identity.
McKeating, AM. Private Barking. 2013. Jpeg. Fort Bragg, California.
Historically, Fort Bragg has been a site of property and resource speculation, a cycle that continues into the 21st century. Today, big box stores and chain restaurants look at Fort Bragg as a place of utility. Their presence threatens to neutralize the town's idiosyncratic beauty.
McKeating AM. Spring Realty maps. 2014. Jpeg. Fort Bragg, California.
Fort Bragg's isolation and unique cultural mix allowed Larry Spring to creatively produce without the pressure of social or academic consensus. However, these same factors make the work of maintaining his legacy precarious.

Just a quick blog, I have nothing much to say, I'm in the middle of my latest book, and I am putting my Hilary Long series together into one paperback novel.
It's cold and damp here.
I am off my tablets waiting for a blood test, so I'm scared to eat, again.
Every bit of post I get is either medical or something to sort out.
The Automobile Association rang me 15 times over the holidays to ask if I want to re-join them. NO. Yet they don't stop ringing!
My bank makes mistakes after mistakes and then charges me for putting them right. When I phone to complain I am patronised as if I'm an idiot - it's them who are the idiots.
Downsizing was a mistake. Don't do it!

Screwing Up the Game
by: Schvach Yid
I don't like sports; never have, never will. But the recent hubbub about former
As a kid, I summered with my family in a
I hated it. I couldn't have given a hoot about winning some lousy game. My concern was captivated exclusively by the bees the plagued my head as I spent each morning, under the beating sun, in left field waiting for the kid playing shortstop to screw up. Thank Gd for rainy days.
We Jews have played no small role in baseball. I don't mean among the players. Who among them was Jewish? Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg. I can't name any others; I don't know the sport, and I don't care.
I don't mean Jews in the game. I'm referring to Jews in the organized labor movement – labor unions - to which professional baseball players belong.
The names of Samuel Gompers (kavod) and Jimmy Hoffa (shander) spring to mind, of course, but so do our labor players of not quite a century ago – the laborers and factory workers who participated in the creation of labor unions.
Thanks to the labor unions we have paid vacations, paid sick leave, and other employment benefits. The establishment of OSHA can be attributed to the labor movement. Union members or not, the American worker owes a great deal to the unions.
According to the 'Mitchell Report', the baseball players' union wasn't so hot to cooperate with the investigation. I don't have the details. I really don't care about the details. It's the betrayal that counts.
I have a sneaking suspicion that baseball – or at least softball – played a major role in creating and training the generation of Americans who won the Second World War. I don't think that's a far fetched assumption.
Baseball is part of 'American know how'. Despite my dislike for sports, I fully understand the important lessons provided to kids playing team sports, especially baseball, and so I don't like to see the grownups screw it up.

A seminar in Dundee yesterday (30/05/12) heard that it might not be such a good idea to import freedom of information (FOI) developments direct from London.
While this included the Scottish Government's proposed 'forelock-tugging' adoption of the UK's exemption of communications with a 'quasi-feudal, privileged class, it wasn't the only threat identified in the contributions to the Centre for Freedom of Information's seminar. Two speakers from London warned of dangers to FOI being discussed as part of the (Westminster) Justice Committee's review of the UK FOI Act.
Dr Ben Worthy, of the University College, London said that the review had allowed senior politicians to start speculation that FOI was leading to a 'chilling effect' on government decision-making, restricting free discussion of ideas in policy making, and that they were also peddling the idea that the 'wrong' people were using the Act. A wholly wrong concept, but one that was now gaining ground.
Ibrahim Hasan, of 'Act Now Training' and 'Save FOI' campaign agreed, and also warned that the review was being used to lobby for changes to restrict FOI access - he predicted increased fees and more exemptions.
|Rosemary Agnew
- New Scottish Information
The seminar was also important as the first public outing for the new Scottish Information Commissioner, Rosemary Agnew. In what must have been a nerve-wracking presentation in front of a roomful of FOI practitioners and campaigners - not to mention her predecessor! - she delivered a creditable performance. In particular she warned government and others that her office was not going to stop pushing the boundaries of legislation, and in particular the need to address the democratic deficit caused by the failure to extend the coverage of the Act to follow both the public pound, and as importantly, public services.
It will be important for supporters of extending the Act's coverage to continue to point to the 'elephant in the room' (As Brodie LLP's Christine O'Neill put it) of the Scottish Government's Freedom of Information (Amendment) (Scotland) Bill. A missed opportunity to address the real problem in the legislation, and ensure that all public service deliverers need be transparent in their work for us - whatever sector they come from.
And that absolute exemption for communications with the monarch or their heir? And indeed communications about those communications? Was that lifted from the UK Act to create a glaring anomaly in the transparency agenda just to shield the Scottish Government from embarrassing requests about Brian Souter's knighthood? The seminar remained silent.

The Slow Drift Continues !
It seems that there is no buying interest as such in the market due to the current economic situation of slowing growth, rising costs and interest rates and above all, the new worries on the Euro sovereign debt front. Market is slowly drifting due to the lack of buying interest than by any heavy selling. May be, lower prices are required to elicit the buyers' interest. As such the downtrend may continue with occasional technical bounces.

The house works out great for folks who don't want to rent several hotel rooms and prefer the option to have family and friend under one roof, like to cook or BBQ with family or friends privately. I've hosted guests who have come to Opelousas for local weddings, bridal groups who need a space to get ready or honeymoon suite, overseas tourists, private parities or used venue rental (priced separately). The home has several miniature ponies on the property, which are a hit with children. At time ponies are removed for breeding. The west side of the property that is fenced can support ample parking for large events (about 2 acres). The photos describe which bedrooms are upstairs and downstairs. If you wish to learn more on the history of Bellevue Manor & it's builder you internet search the builder: Rudolph Adelbert Sebastian Mayor or google his name.

We work with any custom package deal pricing, so try us. Please inquire via email if you have questions. Keep in mind, website does no show your phone numbers or personal email address on booking inquiries, so unfortunately initial inquiries have to me discussed via email.

The grey curtains in living room and downstairs guest bedroom (grey rooms), the curtains are ornamental and do not close. Sheers/shades can be used in the rooms. Closet doors are locked for private storage. Armoires and dressers are free came for you clothing.
We encourage quest to read, study and enjoy the antique artifacts, but please avoid handling them as we've had a few accidents. (i.e. photo collection, statuettes, figurines, etc.) It's common sense to treat this as if it were your own home. We still use this as a private family home. Thank you for understanding.

I had a difficult time locating this museum. Why must there be two Precinct 15s in Putrajaya?
After driving around in circles in the wrong part of Precinct 15 and a few frantic calls to the museum to ask for directions, I finally made it there.
Parking was easy enough. 4 vacant lots awaited us beside the building. The exterior of the museum was made up of lovely exposed red bricks . Looked promising from the outside.
The Mystery of the Crocodiles exhibit was on the 1st floor. It was rather disappointing with a few stuffed crocodiles. The boys were more interested in the BBC documentary being shown on hippopotamuses
The kids went Wow! when they saw the Bryde's whale skeleton
This elephant skull was interesting. If you peek at its lower and upper jaw, you can see its huge teeth.

In a recent Op-Ed piece for the New York Times she wrote:
Six years ago, I went to listen to a man, whom I will not name, in a café in Paris.
He said it had been 24 years since he had been back to Iran, that he had to leave right after the revolution of 1979 for political reasons.
He talked of many things, and he ended by saying: "Once you leave your homeland, you can live anywhere, but I refuse to die anywhere other than Iran — or else my life will have had no meaning."
His statement touched me very deeply. I've thought about what he said, not just understanding him intellectually but feeling his meaning with all my heart. I, too, was convinced that I must die nowhere other than in my country, Iran, or else my life will also be meaningless.
At the time I heard this man speak, it had already been four years since I had been home.
Yes, I call Iran home because no matter how long I live in France, and despite the fact that I feel also French after all these years, to me the word "home" has only one meaning: Iran.
I suppose it's that way for everyone: Home is the place where one is born and raised.
No matter how much I am in love with Paris and its indescribable beauty, Tehran with all its ugliness will in my eyes forever be the "bride" of all cities around the world.
Although the location of our "homes" are different, she couldn't have put it better. No matter how long I live in Montreal, the west coast will always be "home." And while we are expats for very different reasons, I still identify with the sentiments she expresses. Although it's still the same country, it's a different culture and the ocean, mountains, trees, even the rain, are all home to me. I can find a million beautiful things in this city, or in another, and yet home will always be, ironically, Nanaimo, BC. Loathe it though I may for many reasons, the river, the lagoon, the ocean, the BC Ferries, Arbutus trees are all things that I associate with home. Even in our debates about moving out of the city, I find that many of criteria I claim to need in terms of creating a space/location called home, echo back to these things. Montreal, with all of the things I love so much, will never offer me the fresh bodies of water that I crave swimming in, nor oceans that I can sail on, or mountains I can hike and climb. And I guess, even after 9 years, home remains the place I grew up in.
Of course the rest of her article goes on to talk about the current Iranian political situation and is well worth a read...
Death, torture and prison are part of daily life for the youth of Iran. They are not like us, my friends and I at their age; they are not scared. They are not what we were.
They hold hands and scream: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! We are together!"
They understand that no one will give them their rights; they must go get them.
They understand that unlike the generation before them — my generation, for whom the dream was to leave Iran — the real dream is not to leave Iran but to fight for it, to free it, to love it and to reconstruct it.
Given that I just wrote a couple of days ago about feeling ashamed of my country, for all of its little and big hypocrisies, her words "shame" me. They make me realize that we, who have so much, bitch about so little and never bother to fight for the things that matter most to us. The fact that 85% of the Iranian population came out to vote when less than 60% of the Canadian population could be bothered... particularly my generation. I know that our options weren't attractive and that many of the issues seem contrived to screw us over, but how do we expect politicians to ever listen to us if we don't stand up to make our voices heard? How do we expect to get detailed, accurate, and reliable media coverage of the issues that are pertinent to us if we don't even pay attention in the first place. Our apathy, in the face of all the things we have and take for granted, is disconcerting (and dare I say it: disgusting) when we look at the challenges that other nations and groups face.

Change has always been part of the social landscape: predictable, rhythmic, and generational change. But today another kind of change upsets all our predictions and securities: chaotic and unpredictable change. We don't know what shape the future will take – but it will not be anything like what we are used to.

Hi All
I hope that you've not given up on me! I've been terrifically busy in my new job and trying to work at the lottie on my days off and keep the level of dirt at home down to non plague proportions.... :0)
Anyway it was with great relief that I went into my mums yesterday as we were babysitting for littley, and my brother dolefully said he has had a call from the allotment committee who said they are taking half of the allotment back and are going to give it to someone else! "YIPEE" says I! "What!" Says he...
YIP bloody PEEEEEE... I've lost sleep over the state of the bloomin' (literally) place! Never mind the veg, the weeds are as high as an elephants eye! I shall be sad as I have planted some Jerusalem Artichoke in that area but that was all - I shall hope that the new person will agree to share! I will move a few strawberry plants down to my end but I think that's all! I may even take the hedgetrimmer down and have a little tidy round for them! So brother dear You can be as sad as you like but no work means no lottie!
The bottom half is nearly all in use (nearly!) and in production but it really is all I can manage by myself and I've said so for AGES! In fact every time I go I'm embarrassed so YAY someone else will now benefit from having an allotment which is always good!
I went for a quick look yesterday to see if there were any courgettes worth picking (not really but did anyway) - So impatient I was to pick my first courgette! I also picked a little gem, peas, some oregano and TWO sticks of rhubarb!... I had to balance it all in a pouch made in the front of my Tshirt by folding it up as I hadn't taken a bag! LOL I must have made a sight.
Anyway the home garden is coming along - nearly some courgettes here, squash are growing apace (inches daily) with some fruit showing... we will hope they are fertilized. I have a "proper" cuke growing at last! AND a red tomato! I may ACTUALLY get a whole salad! Chilli's are coming along well too and seem to have decided to fruit all at once.
So all is going well at the moment...
No Not a bit ashamed at being evicted WOOO HOOOOOO :o)

Hi Jelliebabe,ReplyDelete
I just read some of your blogposts with interest. I am working on a documentary about allotment life in the UK. I am keen to talk to people about their experiences in the world of allotment-holding and thought it was really interesting that you gave half of your plot back. They've always seemed a really daunting time commitment to me and something that many people must struggle to deal with.
It would be great if you had a few minutes to chat about your experiences. You can contact me on 02074285620 or alternatively if you email me at email@example.com I will happily give you a call at a time convenient for you.
Many thanks,

Hi! Just an update on some things I'll be working on in the next few months:
Plans are in the works for another King's Harbor Church concert in the Hidden Door Cafe with my friend Mike V on October 10th. This was originally scheduled for earlier in September, but now we're adding drums and bass, so stay tuned. You can follow both Mike and myself on Twitter for up-to-the-minute details.
Also, the group I've always fondly refered to as the Rockin (k)nights are soon to be formerly known as the Knights of Columbus House Band. Yes, we will be announcing our new name soon, as well as a probable appearance at a certain church fair in October. Again, stay tuned…
And for all of you FX'ers: be sure to mark your calendars for September 12 – you are not going to want to miss this one. Details will be posted soon on the blog.
Okay, enough teasers…now get back to work!!

What Exactly is Sterling Silver?
Since pure silver, also known as "fine silver", is much too soft to be used in rings and other jewelry, an alloy is mixed with the metal to harden it. Usually this is copper. The result is a beautiful and sturdy metal that has the beauty of Fine Silver, but is now Sterling Silver. By law, a piece that is sold as Sterling Silver will be 92.5% pure silver plus 7.5% copper, and will then be stamped ".925" or "S925" or "Sterling Silver". Only actual Sterling Silver will bear the ".925" Sterling stamp. It is illegal under title 15, chapter 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations to in any way represent an item as sterling if it is not.
Other metals can be used in place of copper as an alloy. These other alloys are used to help eliminate tarnish. These metals include zinc, platinum and germaium (known as "Argentium Sterling Silver"), and even silicon and boron.
Is there a difference between Sterling Silver from Tiffany's and Other Stores?
No. All Sterling Silver is 92.5% fine silver plus 7.5% alloy. The metal is the same, 92.5% fine silver plus an alloy. The difference is only in the design of the piece.
Does Sterling Silver Tarnish? What about Fine Silver?
Chemically, pure silver is not very reactive—it does not react with oxygen or water at ordinary temperatures, so does not easily form a silver oxide, which we see as tarnish. However, it is attacked by common components of atmospheric pollution---silver sulfide forms as a black tarnish while exposed to airborne compounds of sulfur (byproducts of the burning of fossil fuels and some industrial processes), and low-level ozone reacts to form silver oxide. With Sterling Silver, the problem of corrosion or tarnishing increases because other metals in the alloy, usually copper, may react with oxygen in the air.
Sources of sulphur, which cause tarnishing, include sweat, wool, carpeting, felt, eggs, leather, latex, and various other sources, so limiting exposure to them can help. Avoid bleach or chlorine---even the fumes will cause tarnishing. Storing your silver in an airtight container with activated charcoal or commercial anti-tarnish strips is a good way to prevent tarnish when storing your jewelry.
Tarnish begins as a yellow tinge to the metal, and becomes darker until it eventually is black.
To clean tarnish off of Sterling jewelry, a swipe with a treated jewelry cloth for Sterling Silver will remove most tarnish. Sometimes a quick dip in jewelry cleaner liquid will remove tarnish from intricate silver work, but always immediately wash the piece off in warm water with a little dish soap, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not use the liquid cleaner on jewelry with pearls, coral, or other gemstones!
Why is Sterling Silver sometimes Rhodium Plated?
Rhodium, which is a very hard (and brittle) metal in the Platinum group of precious metals, is electroplated onto Sterling Silver for a few reasons: it helps prevent tarnishing, it helps prevent corrosion, it protects the silver from scratching or marring; it gives a very bright and shiny finish; and gives the sterling the look of white gold. Why? Because white gold is gold mixed with alloys, but is still slightly yellow. Plating white gold with Rhodium gives the bright, shiny, platinum look that is desired in white gold jewelry.
Rhodium is plated onto sterling silver rings for durability as well as beauty.
Sometimes the layer of Rhodium on jewelry is quite thick, but often the Rhodium layer is an extremely thin layer of metal that is electroplated over the silver or gold. It will eventually wear off. Rhodium plated rings especially will need to be replated after several years of wear.
Certainly, it CAN be resized, but should it be? The short answer is NO, I don't recommend that. There are several reasons why. First, in order to plate Rhodium over Sterling Silver, another metal or two must be plated onto the Sterling so the Rhodium adheres, and without contaminating the Rhodium solution. There are three methods to plate silver:
1. First Copper, then Nickel, then Rhodium. (This is most common)
2. First Palladium, then Rhodium.
3. Rhodium straight onto Sterling Silver.
The first two are done in that order because the Rhodium solution is sensitive to copper and will loose its bright plating ability if it is contaminated by base metals, especially copper.
If one plates straight onto Sterling Silver, then copper in the silver alloy will, after a short time, degrade the solution and the plating will be dark.
Additionally, the Rhodium layer is very hard and brittle, and cutting the band will possibly result in the shattering of the Rhodium layer, revealing the nickel or copper layer underneath. A skilled silversmith (NOT the jeweler at the mall) can successfully cut through the band and adjust the size and replate the ring---but this can be costly and can also undermine the integrity of the original ring.
A skilled jeweler or preferably a silversmith might be able to "stretch" the ring slightly using a mandrel, but that depends on the thickness of the band and the setting itself, and would need to be discussed with your jeweler first.
Why can't a jeweler use a laser or heat the band?
Different metals melt at different temperatures. Rhodium, on the outside of a ring band, is an incredibly hard metal, with one of the highest melting points of all metals. Copper or nickel, plated between the Rhodium and the Sterling Silver, is much softer, although harder than Sterling. Sterling Silver is an alloy of soft silver and copper. The melting points of these metals are:
Rhodium...................3571 °F
Copper.....................1981 °F
Nickel...................... 2651 °F
Sterling Silver............1651 °F
If Rhodium were heated to the point where it would melt or even soften to cut, the underlying metals would all liquify. If done by an inexperienced person, this would create a mess, and probably ruin the ring.
Is there a way to test metal to see if it's Sterling Silver?
(1) First, does it have the "925" or "Sterling" marks somewhere? If it does, then it is sterling silver. Sometimes Sterling Silver isn't marked, or the markings have worn off. Often, vintage pieces and Native American jewelry is also not marked. Clean your piece to remove any tarnish or dirt and inspect it carefully for any hallmarks or maker's marks.
(2) Then check: Is it magnetic? Sterling Silver contains no metals that would be attracted to a magnet, so if it is, it's probably Stainless Steel or some other metal. Use a strong Neodymium magnet.
(3) Next, if it's not Rhodium plated, you can try purchasing a test kit. A small scratch can be made in an inconspicuous spot and a drop of Nitric Acid applied. This will ruin the ring, so often the metal is rubbed onto a "touchstone" and the Nitric Acid is applied to that touchstone rubbing. You will have to analyze the color that appears as the acid sinks into the piece. Be sure to follow the instructions and color scale of your specific silver test. In general, the color scale is as follows:
- Bright Red: Fine Silver
- Darker Red: 925 Silver
- Brown : 800 Silver
- Green : 500 Silver
- Yellow: Lead or Tin
- Dark brown: Brass
- Blue: Nickel
(5) Take it to a professional--a reputable jeweler, a silversmith, an appraiser--who can determine if it's sterling silver, and maybe give more information about any maker's marks or hallmarks on the piece, and its value.
I would recommend that if you are buying a ring, such as a vintage ring, that is Rhodium plated, buy the ring in the proper size! Don't expect to take any ring that has been Rhodium plated to a jeweler to size it. The results will most likely not be good, or even disastrous.

Went to the rugby on Saturday night. A generous vendor supplied me with a ticket. It turned out to be the match between Matt Giteau and South Africa although it was supposed to be the Wallabies (Australia) vs the Springboks (South Africa). Giteau did all the scoring himself apart of the dying minutes try by Lachie Turner.
Match report.
I'd known about the game for weeks and was looking forward to it although I'm not a rugby fan and have never attended a match before. So what do you think happened? Take the boy to his sport, come home and rake the back lawn, cut some grass that was overgrowing and vacuum out the cars. Just as I'm finishing I realised that I was supposed to be somewhere. Looked at my watch and thought that I was supposed to be somewhere 10 minutes ago and it's going to take me about three quarters of an hour to get there. I rang a workmate who was also going but no response. Had a gander at the phone book and found the mobile number of the guys supplying the tickets. Called him to say I would be a bit late and that he could leave the ticket at the gate for me so that I didn't disturb him. Turned out that the place we were supposed to meet had shut the doors to non-members just before he arrived as he'd just missed a train and was slightly late also.
Actually didn't miss anything apart from the national anthems. As we were taking our seats the kickoff took place. The game of rugby union is quite fast. The Springboks completely outplayed the Wallabies and deserved their win. I was a little disappointed that the crowd didn't get into too much but the Aussies were too far behind to threaten really. And Subiaco Oval isn't conducive to large groups of people to get singing together. Well played to the Boks but our boys kept trying hard and made the scoreline look respectable in the end at 32-25. Gee, the game goes so quickly without time-on and only 40 minutes each half.
Afterwards we wandered down to the Subiaco Hotel for drinks and a chat session. So busy. Saw one guy who was a group member of "blokes punching above their weight". But he successfully pulled a bird. Got on quite well with the other match attendees. It was a great night. My clothes sure stank of cigarette smoke afterwards though.
Photos on Facebook.
I'm known as a Frugal Bastard as I'm careful with my money and don't like wastage. I travel a bit, take lots of photos, make videos and like sharing my own silly opinions on stupid things and spelling mistakes that I discover in the media. Political comment and satire have a place close to my heart. I also major in sarcasm.

Using Peoples' Skills
When it comes to project team members, it is quite normal that some will be better at certain things than others. Some will be very competent at what they do and others less so. Some will be more dedicated and some less so. I always have to smile when people raise things like Belbin roles as a pre-requisite when selecting project teams. "We must have a completer/finisher" is the usual cry but in my experience you are lucky to get people with the technical skills you need, let alone team skills.
The Way
The wise project manager learns to work with the people he gets given and thanks them for their efforts. The light of awareness shines equally on what is good and what is bad. One person is as worthy as the next. Knowing this the wise project manager does not pretend to be special. Silence is a great source of strength.
The Tao
Lao Tzu tells us:
The sage is not humane,
Considering all as grass dogs.
The space between Heaven and Earth,
Is like a flute or sack.
It is emptied but not lessened.
Move it and more comes out.
Many words add up to nothing.
Nothing equals holding to the center.
Note: The Tao uses the term 'grass dogs' to indicate that things might be good or evil. So the sage does not take sides but considers all equal regardless of their virtue.

Here's a picture of my first room-box. All the other boxes will be this size with the basement and attic being a couple of centimetres lower.
I've been spending a while (weeks in fact) working out how I want this room to look. The lines on the floor show some of my thoughts. I initially wanted a small parlour with a little morning room off to the side. But, and there's a lot of "buts" in the mini world (goodness! I'm beginning to wonder if this Post should be X-Rated!!) I have bought a pair of pretty Bespaq sofas in different but matching fabric and they haven't arrived yet. My concern was how to fit the two sofas (and all the other furniture) into a relatively small room. After a week of worrying I realised that I could eradicate all this stress by simply opening the whole room up and using the whole box for the one room!! Believe it or not this was quite a radical realisation! After all, it did seam silly to be limiting myself at this early planning stage - heaven knows what I would have done once it was complete and I didn't have any room for other things!
As you know I sold off almost all my mini collection in a fit of madness but I did keep all my little bits and bobs - you know, the left-over but potentially gold mine things like excess cornice and banisters. In this pile was a couple of ancient Sue Cook pillars that I bought about ten years ago and have used in various guises since. I think the parlour will be a bit plain as one whole space so where the line on the floor shows where a wall going to be I am inserting a pillared break into the room with book shelves underneath and a shelf on top (at about 2.5 inches high) for useful objets d'art. I've always loved the library in Queen Mary's Dolls House so I thought I could cut down the pillars I have and make them fit. I'm not not yet but I like the idea of giving them a wood finish.
Incidentally, the window is one from a Laurels dolls house I kept "just in case"! I really like the Georgian look it has and I'd like to try my hand at making some fancy curtains for it.
OK, I'm off to cut a hole for the window and do some more worrying…
Thanks for all your super welcoming comments on my last post. You are all so talented and generous. I really did feel welcomed back into the fold.
Have a great day.

So what can you do to make a guy chase after you instead of running away? Others are no larger than an average table.
Bare in mind that this is the count returned by google when a searcher enters a search phrase without quotes.
What if you found a football betting system which includes a confirmed account of results which was highly profitable, boasting lots of years of established results as a consequence enjoyed a win rate in excess of 90%.

When LizAnn Shimamoto was 12, her mother forced her to take an etiquette class, where Shimamoto learned all the things a "good girl" should be, how to be "ladylike" and "mild-mannered" and above all, quiet.
Now, at 39, Shimamoto yells.
She yells while playing the odaiko, a drum roughly the size of a refrigerator. She yells as if she's sending a message across the Grand Canyon. She yells because it gives her a sense of power, because it's fun and because it encourages her fellow drummers--including daughters Amy, 14, and Grace, 11--to keep the beat.
Of the 18 performers in Shimamoto's group, Satori Daiko, 13 are women. It's a breakdown reflected in Japanese drumming, or taiko, groups across North America: About two-thirds of the roughly 150 taiko groups are composed of women, especially Asian American women. Many of these women have snatched up bachi, or wooden drumming sticks, to rediscover their roots--and to redefine their roles as women.
"What we're doing is contradictory to what a Japanese female has traditionally been taught to do," said Shimamoto of Monterey Park. "It's a mirror of what's happening culturally."

Couple: Trapper & Clare – 4.19.16
For these beautiful adventurers, Trapper and Clare, getting married in the outdoors was a no brainer. They chose to get married in the desert outside of Las Vegas. They had the best time not only exchanging their vows, but also exploring a bit around the Nelson Ghost Town area before arriving at the Eldorado Dry Lake Bed for a sunset ceremony.

Urbania, Majiwada, Thane (West) hosted the first ever open air screening of a children's movie in Thane. The event was held at the Rustomjee Cambridge International School, in conjunction with 'Leon's World Centre for Holistic Learning and Development' which is located in the Urbania township, on Saturday, 18th November 2017.
With over 600 people attending the screening, there was a carnival like atmosphere at the school on the evening of 18thNovember. Rustomjee Urbania, in its typical thoughtful manner, had made provisions not only for screening the movie but also ensured that everyone who came there had an enjoyable time even prior to the show. Kids were thrilled to get to meet one of their favourite characters, Mickey Mouse! Volkswagen, who was the partner for the event, was also showcasing their latest models which attracted a lot of attention from those who had gathered there. Stalls for candy floss, drinks and of course, pop corn created the right mood for the screening.
The movie chosen for the screening was Pappu Ki Pugdandi, a critically acclaimed film and has been appreciated at international film festivals worldwide including the TIFF Kids Film Festival and the Cairo International Film Festival. The story is of a young boy, Pappu, who belongs to a lower middle-class family. He faces adjustment issues in his new school as his rich classmates make fun of his humble background. When young Pappu meets a genie, he thinks all his problems will be taken care of but the genie had had other plans for him which make Pappu realize that there are no shortcuts to happiness and he identifies his own strength.
The movie got a tremendous response from all those who had gathered for the open air screening. While the kids had a great time, one elderly lady reminisced, "I remember we used to go to Bandra, what is now BKC, to see the open air screening of movies in the drive in theatre there in the 1970's. I am really amazed to see such a well organised open air screening in Thane. Also, while we had to battle the mosquitoes in Bandra, here the weather was so pleasant and no mosquitoes at all. My family and I really had a good time; it was a lovely way to spend the evening."
Percy S Chowdhry, director, Rustomjee group, said while speaking about this latest initiative said, "The Open Air Movie screening is a novel experience not just for the children but for adults as well. At Rustomjee, we believe that children deserve a wholesome childhood. So across the city, our buildings have specially planned spaces for kids of all ages. Each square inch has been designed in partnership with renowned child experts, child psychologists, and of course, moms. According to research, childhood is the phase during which children express maximum curiosity and learn the most. It is the zest to explore, discover and interact with the world around them that defines their growing up years from toddler-hood to adolescence. Though a part of this learning process is instinctive, the other half depends on stimulation, motivation and the right environment provided by parents. And we as parents are forever anxious about our ability to ensure the best for our children, be it in education, performing arts or sports and games. This is where a concept like Leon's World assumes importance, where children are given the opportunity to learn while having fun and being exposed to new experiences."

rain today? must ride forest
for three 'easy' hours
today drew and i rode mtb's. we both wanted to go pretty easy - TNR apparently worked him a bit and well, he's debuting a new bike sunday at the dragon's tale. i on the other hand, just wanted to go slow but his slow and my slow are well, somewhat different. thankfully we left out climbing woodruff.
we cruised some gravel, some more gravel, some trail, some classic trail (nearly cleanly -one darn wet root- riding the wet rooty rhodo-tunnel that can't be done (clearly)), crossing a road, dropping leaf covered steep, MORE gravel road, and ripping back to a tree farm. a quick pavement spin and we discuss our plans for the afternoon after three hours of 'easy' riding.
drew agreed to help install a super rad custom pot rack in the kitchen and so up globe rd we went back to the house. a few recovery drinks later and a couple extra holes in the ceiling and voila:
drop drew back to rocky creek - head to stickboy and meet my lovely wife. we pick up some foccacia (late lunch for me), some dirty hot chocolate (hot chocolate + espresso shot) and naan for our homemade pizza dinner:
now i'm reading pro bike racer diaries on velonews.com since proorbust.com still just has one post.... just finished ben king's about classica sarda and i'm on to the next one. banff film festival tomorrow - plenty of great friends headed to town, and tsali bike racing on sunday. i hope my knee holds up. ::finger's crossed:: jg

Ligne Roset Facett Sofa
With a portfolio that ranges from objects and jewelry to architecture, videos, spatial arrangements, and photography, the Paris-based Bouroullec brothers have brought an impressive selection of unique furnishings to the market since they've been working together for the last 15 years. Their Facett seating collection for Ligne Roset is no exception. Consisting of two settee sizes, an armchair—with a swiveling option—and two accompanying ottomans, the range celebrates purity and perfection of design. Ronan and Erwan created a minimalist and graphic silhouette that seems to grow out of the floor—and boasts a removable cover with complex stitching that recalls origami or cut stones. The makeup of the pieces (the Medium Sofa is shown here) consists of three layers of criss-cross panels and thermoformed polystyrene that's overlaid with polyether foam. The suspended seat is supported by elastic webbing while the integral seat cushion is formed with resilient polyurethane Bultex foam.

REVOLUTION is Live!!
5 comments:
Girl, you are amazing and my hero! I can't thank you enough for the inspiration that you've brought to me and for the absolutely wonderful and original stories that you've created. Thank you so very much! I can't wait to read this and close the last chapter on this incredible series :)ReplyDelete
I just finished reading revolution and it was AMAZING. It ended perfectly. Thank you so much for releasing it early! I usually feel like Authors don't put enough into a conclusion but yours was perfect. I'm so happy.ReplyDelete

(Am I the only person that always follows up that sentence with "there must be some Toros in the atmosphere" ala 'Bring it On' circa 2000?)
Anyway before I digress and rave about my love of cheerleader movies or Kirsten Dunst... my point is:
Winter is here.
If you've planned for a Winter wedding (or in fact even if you've planned a Spring, Autumn or even Summer wedding!), there's every chance your wedding day could be cold.
If there's one thing we know that you can't control about your wedding, it's the weather. But what you can control, is how much it bothers you... or your bridesmaids... or your guests.
Below are some of our favourite winter warmer ideas to keep your wedding day comfy for all involved:
Keep yourself and your bridesmaids warm in cardigans.So often you see bridemaids in strapless dresses with blue-tinged skin, trying to pretend like it's not cold!
It's winter, so rather than try to hide it, go with it!
It's quite surprising how this can look elegant or glamorous or quirky or casual, depending on how you rock it.
And what a fun way to add some colour, if that's your thing.
If your ceremony is somewhere a little drafty, why not provide some blankets for your guests?
In fact even at a reception, some well placed blankets hanging over the backs of chairs could provide some welcome warmth once the night's chill sets in. Make it a feature while also being functional.
Pod & Pea has blankets for hire.
Real Warmth
What could be better than a bonfire? It would add the warmth, the atmosphere, the romance.. and also the opportunity to serve toasted marshmallows or create your own s'mores bar (yes very American, we know.. but how cute?!).
OK, so we know a bonfire isn't the most practical option. Not many venues would allow it.
But at least try for some gas heaters or a chiminea or two.
And if all else fails, don't underestimate the 'perceived' warmth that a load of candles or lanterns brings to a room.
Now I'm off to put my ugg boots on!
Would love to hear how you're keeping warm this Winter!

Today I attended another news conference. This time to announce new dynamic advocacy group. The new group is called Autism Resolution Ontario (ARO). I had luck to participate a little and witness great organizational and intellectual talents of core members of ARO. I have a lot of faith in its future. It also promises to be quite exiting experience.
After the conference we have met with staff members from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services and Minister Deb Matthews dropped in for few minutes to hear our concerns, and assure us that the ministry is working very hard and has done a lot of progress in helping autistic children. She said that they tripled the amount of money spent on autism. After she left the staff members told us that number of children receiving autism treatment tripled also from 400 to 1200.
On my way home I have made some thinking about of what I have heard and seen. So... if the number of children receiving therapy tripled and so did the funding. The waiting time for average child should stay the same, but it doubled from two to four years, in spite of children being discharged like Sebastian and Delanie after just few months of treatment. Where did the money go?
And I have another "simple math" thought. If our elected officials were personally responsible for outcome of their actions.... just the thought.... and there are 1600 children waiting on therapy in Ontario (conservatively)
and 50% of them could be saved from mental retardation* by timely and intensive treatment. They are loosing that opportunity thanks to government inactions or even worse; actions like benchmarking. Half of 1600 makes 800. Eight hundred lives that could be very productive, and other 800 lives that could be much happier more independent and less costly. And every individual has a family, and effects at least 4 more people lives directly, parents siblings grandparents.
So thousands of destroyed lives is going to be your legacy Minister Matthews, Mr McGunity... unless you will do something very brave now. Will you?
*yes I am using the harsh R word not to offend anyone but for impact value and because it is still used as scientific term. If you are not comfortable wit it read "mental handicap", "developmental delay" or "institutional dependency"

Tonight, the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Los Angeles Master Chorale are performing Carmina Burana at the Hollywood Bowl. While it isn't done with the frequency of, say, Beethoven's 9th, I can't think of a full-blown choral work that sees the Hollywood Bowl stage more often. So even though I couldn't make it to the Bowl this evening, I'm doing okay.
The conductor tonight is Gustavo Dudamel, though three summers ago, Rafael Fruhbeck de Burgos took on the Carl Orff warhorse. The video of the finale, featuring the well-known "O Fortuna," is above.
- Misheard lyrics: "O Fortuna" edition
- Wafna! LA Master Chorale's fortunes remain high with grand renditions of Carmina Burana, Verdi's Te Deum

On The Road Again
It´s a very hot day in july 2007. Sun is burning down on the car which my husband drives valiantly along the bumpy roads. I sit next to him trying the best not to move too much, hoping for an early end of this journey through Hungarian villages. But I ought to have known better. While I am talking to a film distributor on the phone, a difficult person to deal with, the car suddenly stops. After the phone call I find myself alone in the car parked next to a ditch at the roadside. 300 feets away my husband is talking to the former servant and driver of Count Schwarzenberg, a busy man who cares for houses being up for sale. This would turn out to be the start of a big new adventure!
