Writers: Saving Money and Making It (Part 1)

This week we’re going to talk about writers and money.

Mostly, we’ll talk about not having any because that’s reality for most of us.

Forget the clichés about how writing in a garret or a ditch lined with beer-vomit fuels us creatively. Poverty sucks. Worrying about income and outgo all the time drains us creatively. As a guy who’s basically been unemployed for two years, I have a lot to say on this subject, but let’s start by saving you $1,200 a year or more with one phone call.

You use the Internet for research (I hope). Call whoever supplies you with TV, Internet and your phone. I did this last week. I started the conversation with, “When I leave Bell, do you guys come get the satellite dish and leave holes in my shingles or how does that work exactly?”

“Why would you want to leave Bell, sir?”

“Because I just found out a buddy of mine in the same neighborhood with roughly the same services is paying $100 less a month than I am!”

This is true, by the way. This isn’t about scamming any company. It’s about solving the problem of being overcharged.

The guy I spoke to in Billing was befuddled as to what to do with me so I took the direct approach and said, “You want to transfer me to the Retention Department now.” That’s where the magic happens. The people in Retention are authorized to massage your bill and squeeze out money and happiness for you. The communications market is becoming more competitive and they don’t want to lose a customer.

Next I spoke with a helpful fellow who went through my communications package with me. I was paying for ten features on my landline. I don’t even know what those ten features could be. I dumped all but voicemail and caller ID.

If it were up to me, I’d dump the landline altogether, but we have to keep it so obnoxious telemarketers can harass us about buying gold and cleaning our air ducts. I also dropped my long distance plan. Use Skype for long distance. Skype is free.

We’re on the net constantly so there were no services to reduce. However, Retention guy “put a promo on it”. That means he knocked $6/month off the price because I bothered to call. That’s $72 a year on one component of the monthly bill, just because I said my bill was too high (which it was.) We also edited down the satellite package. Everybody gets a lot of channels they don’t watch. Kill them.

We haven’t noticed any loss of services or channels, but that one phone call (which took about half an hour) knocked those bills down precipitously. I haven’t got the first bill yet, but I will save about $1,600 in the next 12 months. Your mileage will vary, depending on how much you’re getting screwed to the wall by your service providers already.

In Canada, we no longer have pennies. Sure, a penny saved is a penny earned, but I’m talking about a significant amount of dough. I “earned” $1,600 in half an hour. Make the call.

Part 2 of this week’s series for writers will be about Writing and The Day Job. Stay tuned.

Photo on 12-05-23 at 4.39 PM~ I’m Robert Chazz Chute. I wrote a couple of books about an autistic kid versus the zombie apocalypse. Sure, that sounds ridiculous, until you understand that it’s also an international thriller and a Latin primer. This Plague of Days, Seasons One and Two have both achieved bestseller status. I’m still broke, but that will change.

    I have no landline and no cable. I use ATT Uverse for internet and stream the TV shows I want to watch via my Roku. So I pay about 50$ a month on that and another 25$ a month for a prepaid cell phone.

14.11: Organic Sulfur Compounds

  • Page ID
  • Learning Objectives

    • Identify thiols (mercaptans) by the presence of an SH group.
    • The mild oxidation of thiols gives disulfides.

    Because sulfur is in the same group (6A) of the periodic table as oxygen, the two elements have some similar properties. We might expect sulfur to form organic compounds related to those of oxygen, and indeed it does. Thiols (also called mercaptans), which are sulfur analogs of alcohols, have the general formula RSH. Methanethiol (also called methyl mercaptan), has the formula CH3SH. Ethanethiol (ethyl mercaptan) is the most common odorant for liquid propane (LP) gas.

    The mild oxidation of thiols gives compounds called disulfides.

    \[\mathrm{2 RSH \xrightarrow{\,[O]\,} RSSR} \]

    The amino acids cysteine [HSCH2CH(NH2)COOH] and methionine [CH3SCH2CH2CH(NH2)COOH] contain sulfur atoms, as do all proteins that contain these amino acids. Disulfide linkages (–S–S–) between protein chains are extremely important in protein structure.

    Thioethers, which are sulfur analogs of ethers, have the form general formula RSR′. An example is dimethylsulfide (CH3SCH3), which is responsible for the sometimes unpleasant odor of cooking cabbage and related vegetables. Note that methionine has a thioether functional group.

    Career Focus: Paramedic

    Paramedics are highly trained experts at providing emergency medical treatment. Their critical duties often include rescue work and emergency medical procedures in a wide variety of settings, sometimes under extremely harsh and difficult conditions. Like other science-based professions, their work requires knowledge, ingenuity, and complex thinking, as well as a great deal of technical skill. The recommended courses for preparation in this field include anatomy, physiology, medical terminology, and—not surprisingly—chemistry. An understanding of basic principles of organic chemistry, for example, is useful when paramedics have to deal with such traumas as burns from fuel (hydrocarbons) or solvent (alcohols, ethers, esters, and so on) fires and alcohol and drug overdoses.

    To become a paramedic requires 2–4 y of training and usually includes a stint as an emergency medical technician (EMT). An EMT provides basic care, can administer certain medications and treatments, such as oxygen for respiratory problems and epinephrine (adrenalin) for allergic reactions, and has some knowledge of common medical conditions. A paramedic, in contrast, must have extensive knowledge of common medical problems and be trained to administer a wide variety of emergency drugs.

    Paramedics usually work under the direction of a medical doctor with a title such as “medical director.” Some paramedics are employed by fire departments and may work from a fire engine that carries medical equipment as well as fire-fighting gear. Some work from hospital-sponsored ambulances and continue to care for their patients after reaching the hospital emergency room. Still other paramedics work for a government department responsible for emergency health care in a specific geographical area. Finally, some work for private companies that contract to provide service for a government body.

    An experienced paramedic has a broad range of employment options, including training for mountain or ocean rescue, working with police department special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams, or working in isolated settings such as on oil rigs. With their expertise at treating and stabilizing patients before quickly moving them to a hospital, paramedics often provide the first critical steps in saving an endangered life. The following quotation, inscribed on the Arlington National Cemetery headstone of Army Lieutenant R. Adams Cowley, who is often called the “father” of shock trauma medicine, serves as the motto for many paramedic units: “Next to creating a life the finest thing a man can do is save one.” —Abraham Lincoln

    Thiols, thioethers, and disulfides are common in biological compounds.

    Concept Review Exercises

    1. What is the functional group of a thiol? Write the condensed structural formula for ethanethiol (ethyl mercaptan).

    2. What is the functional group of a disulfide? Write the condensed structural formula for dipropyl disulfide.

    1. SH; CH3CH2SH

    2. –S–S–; CH3CH2CH2SSCH2CH2CH3

    1. A common natural gas odorant is tert-butyl mercaptan. What is its condensed structural formula?

    2. Write the equation for the oxidation of ethanethiol to diethyl disulfide.

    1. (CH3)3CSH

#CHICATravel To Cuba With Neo Radise

My trip to Cuba was a 28 hour flight from SA, with only two flights coming in and leaving Cuba. I took an 8 hour flight to Madrid and had a 10-hour layover there, which I used to see a bit of the city. I then took another 10 hour flight directly to Cuba. I flew Iberia Airlines and it was safe and basic.

My visa application cost me about R280 and I had to go to the embassy in Hatfield to apply.

Cuba Cash

The Money
Their currency is the Cuban Peso. Cuba is a closed economy and locals have a different currency to tourists however the conversion is the same (1cuc = 1usd). You need to change your money at the airport because that will make your life easier because locating a bank or money exchange place is tricky.

Accommodation is relatively affordable and Airbnb has extended its services to Cuba. Getting there is a bit more expensive than what you’ll spend when you are there though. I don't think I spent more than $10 per day, excluding the odd souvenir.

I went in February and suffered a bit because I don’t do heat very well. Think of the Durban kind of weather, that’s Cuba. Sunscreen and water are your besties here and 1litre of water costs 1cuc.

I decided not to stay at a hotel, only because I wanted to have an authentic Cuban feel so I booked a room at one of the Casa’s (family owned homes that rent out their rooms).

It was probably my best and most emotionally fulfilling experience. I stayed there for 6 nights and had my own room and en-suite shower. I also had a hearty breakfast every single morning.

There is still telecommunications infrastructure development in Cuba so they sell “internet cards” for 1Cuban Peso (=1usd) that grants you 1 hour of internet access. You’ll have to ask the hotel or B&B to first give you their WiFi code (you need access to the WiFi line to use the internet prepaid card), optionally while walking around you can find your nearest WiFi Park where the WiFi line is free, but you still need an internet card.

To be honest the lack of access to the digital world was the best part of my trip. Knowing I could be present in the moment with no need to check social media or whatsapp was enlightening.

You need to locate one of these small kiosks to buy internet. They do run out of cards at times and in such cases, some nearby hotels sell them, even though it’s at double the price.

Cuba horse ride

To fully enjoy Cuba you need to leave all your baggage and preconditioned ideas at the airport. It’s a place like no other. You will either LOVE or hate it, there's no middle ground. The people are content with the status quo. You will be exposed to the slumps and the “touristy” areas.

Try to visit one of the buildings and immerse yourself in the culture, the food and people. The random art displays and music. The dancing was better than how I had imagined it!  Spanish people are passionate, carefree and the men will catcall you with no shame.

Broken Place

I am easily drawn to people and things that are broken because that’s where I find beauty and love. That’s what I loved about Cuba. I left my heart there. I’m not an extrovert and I don’t think I’ve ever done something that is all about me. Cuba defined and helped me rediscover things I love and hate about me, but I found myself in Cuba.

Cuba cars

Vintage Cars
The vintage cars are REAL!!! The owners take so much pride in them. All of them are super clean...
Some are taxis but for the most part they use their cars for tourists to book for a drive around Cuba (1 hour, half day, full day). Most tourists just take pictures next to the cars and do not ride because those rides cost a small penny. Anything from R500 per hour, depending on the driver. It's all part of the experience though.

Visit a place called Restaurant Jibaro, it has a modern menu and great drinks, a gem I found in Old Havana

Cuba villages

Vinalès is a two hour drive outside of main Havana. I spent the whole day there mixing with the locals and learning about the farming. I rode a horse for the first time, smoked my first cigar and had a taste of their rum.

A memory nestled in my heart!

The End.

Home Mortgage Tips You Should Know About

Mortgages are what people need to get a new home financed sometimes. Some people even take out second mortgages on homes they already own. Depending on the kind of mortgage you seek, the following information here is useful towards making the process seem much less complicated.

Communicate openly with your lender, even if your financial situation is not good. Don’t give up just because your finances are dire – your lender will want to work with you, if you talk to them about the situation. Instead, be honest with your lender to see if there are any options available.

Determine your terms before you apply for your mortgage, not only to demonstrate to the lender you are responsible, but also to maintain a reasonable monthly budget. Buy a house that fits into your budget. Stay out of trouble by only getting a mortgage you can afford.

Before attempting to secure a loan, you should take the time to look over your credit report, as well as making sure that your financial situation is in perfect order. The ringing in of 2013 meant even stricter credit standards than in the past, so you need to clean up your credit rating as much as possible in order to qualify for the best mortgage terms.

If your application for a loan happens to be denied, don’t lose hope. Instead, go seek out the services of another lender. Every lender is going to have a certain barrier you must pass through to get your loan. This means that it can make sense to apply at several places to get optimal results.

When you go to see the mortgage lender, bring along all your financial records. The lender is going to need income proof, banking statements, and other documentation of assets. Having these organized and on-hand ahead of time will prepare you in providing these pieces of information and will make the application process go faster.

Educate yourself on the home’s history when it comes to property tax. It will be helpful to know exactly how much you will be required to pay each year. You might find the tax assessor values your property higher than you expected and you don’t want to have any unpleasant surprises.

Make sure you have a steady work history before applying for a mortgage loan. Most lenders require at least two years of steady work history to approve a loan. Switching jobs often may cause your application to get denied. Do not quit your job while you are involved in the mortgage loan process.

Use this information to get a mortgage that will fit into your lifestyle. Use the tips you learned here. This will help you get the best rate possible.

The Bible is a today book

Open bible 01 01 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
"The Bible says little to us about what to do tomorrow. It is a today book.
‘now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.’

Strength To Serve

  Does the idea of “self care” make you feel guilty? I don’t mean “self care” as in pampering yourself, buying new shoes, getting your nails done, etc. as it is often attributed to. I mean taking care of yourself and making sure your needs for sleep, rest, nourishment, and movement are met. Sometimes I still struggle with feeling guilty when I take time to rest, prioritize sleep, say “no” to things that over crowd my schedule, take breaks, make space for my soul, stop to write, etc. I used to think serving others meant hustling 24/7, keeping everyone happy, and [...]

Creative Time: Living as Form (New York City)

Living as Form is an unprecedented, international project exploring over twenty years of cultural works that blur the forms of art and everyday life, emphasizing participation, dialogue, and community engagement.

Living as Form provides a broad look at a vast array of socially engaged practices that appear with increasing regularity in fields ranging from theater to activism, and urban planning to visual art. The project brings together twenty-five curators, documents over 100 artists’ projects in a large-scale survey exhibition inside the historic Essex Street Market building, features nine new commissions in the surrounding neighborhood, and provides a dynamic online archive of over 350 socially engaged projects.

Living as Form will culminate with a book, co-published by Creative Time Books and MIT Press, that will highlight projects from the exhibition archive, as well as commissioned essays from noted critics and theorists in the field, including Carol Becker, Claire Bishop, Teddy Cruz, Brian Holmes, Maria Lind, and Shannon Jackson. Detailing some of the most important socially engaged projects from the last twenty years, this unique archive will provide key examples, allow insights into methodologies, contextualize the conditions of site, and broaden the range of what constitutes this form. Living as Form: Socially Engaged Art from 1991-2011 will be out in January 2012.

How Can We Sing the Song of the Lord in an Alien Land?

8 October 2010 – 2 January 2011

“The images of Potosí are a shimmering reflection of an extremely violent settlement policy, whose primary purpose was the reproduction and monopolization of labor. We make the claim that there are parallels between the ideological function of colonial-era painting and the modern-day function assumed by art—that of legitimizing the elite of globalization.”

Potosí, the famous silver-mining city, synonymous with immense wealth and unbridled exploitation, was the capital of the mining industry in Latin America from the 16th to the 18th century and played a crucial role in the development of European capitalism and the migrations associated with it. Even today, the expression vale un Potosí—worth a fortune—is commonly used in Spanish.

With this exhibition the Haus der Kulturen der Welt is marking a critical approach and another way of looking at the Bicentenario—the 200th anniversary of the independence movement in Latin America. It addresses the relationships between trade and art transfers and economic structures and ways of thinking in Latin America and Europe and their social effects on both continents, both before and after the citizens’ revolutions of the 19th century.

The “Andean Baroque” works presented in “The Potosí Principle” prove that cultural hegemony is a reflection not of cultural greatness, but of violence. The exhibition uses this form of painting to investigate structural similarities between the colonialism that brought forth Modernism and the current global regime of Neoliberalism. Contemporary artists respond to the baroque images with their own works. In this way, they create a link to issues still current today, such as the role of women in colonial society or the effects of the transnational soy bean monoculture on modern-day South America. A ‘Singspiel’ conducts a satirical examination of the energy oligarchy in St. Petersburg, while another project accompanies Chinese people as they seek to exercise their right to legal recourse. A traveling exhibition by the “Migrant Worker Museum” at the headquarters of the IG Metall trade union shows objects from the every-day life and culture of migrant workers and traces the ties between the modern-day exploitation of labor and resources and its roots in the 18th century, when it was already widespread from Bolivia to China.

The exhibition, which was previously shown at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid and will subsequently travel to the Museo Nacional de Arte and the Museo Nacional de Etnografía y Folklore in La Paz, draws its energy from continuously changing artistic dialogues, redesigned for each of its hosts in Spain, Germany and Bolivia. The Berlin focus is on the concept of “Kulturnation” (“nation of culture”).

Workshops on 8 and 9 October will give artists, correspondents and the curators the chance to discuss the Potosí principle in greater detail with academics and theoreticians, addressing the question of how to describe the Marxist principle of “so-called primitive accumulation” along with colonial and contemporary global interrelationships. (Admission free, prior registration required: www.hkw.de/potosi/arbeitstage)

The exhibition is accompanied by an eponymous catalog published by the Buchhandlung Walther König in German, English and Spanish. Edited by Alice Creischer, Max Jorge Hinderer & Andreas Siekmann, 304 pages with articles and a large illustrated section. ISBN (German) 978-3-86560-897-0.

Artists, curators, theorists, and “correspondents” will come together during the workshops which are part of the Potosí Principle exhibition to discuss and elaborate the following topics: How can we describe colonial as well as contemporary global contexts with Marx’s principle of “primitive accumulation”? How and where is cultural hegemony being produced? Which artistic interventions or practices and which dissenting voices can undermine the standards of a “universal museum” within an internationalised world?

The Potosí Principle (Madrid)

How can we sing the song of the Lord in an alien land? / The Potosí Principle

May 12 – September 6, 2010

Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid

The Potosí Principle (Principio Potosí in Spanish) can have two meanings. The first of these is temporal in the sense of an origin or beginning. On the other hand, the “Potosí Principle” can describe in a rather technical way a mechanical function that follows the principle of repetition.

But the Potosí Principle is also the name of a contemporary art project that will be presented in an exhibition and a series of talks in and around the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid.

In the beginning of the 17th century Potosí was one of the largest cities in the world – comparable to London or Paris. It is said that all the the silver mined there would be enough to build a bridge from the Andes over the Atlantic Ocean that reached Cadiz – the harbour in Spain where the silver arrived. The work in the mines, the treasures of gold and silver which were shipped to Europe initiated such a tremendous increase of accumulation that it can be seen as the birth of the modern capitalist system. Marx analyzed the principle of “primitive accumulation” in England which took place at the same time: the “disposal” of human beings from a feudal system, just to liberate and at once eliminate them in the process of exploitation. We think that this “primitive accumulation” is not a historical case. It happens virtually everywhere in the globalized world, now, at the same time and in all historical shapes. So one of the main questions of the project is to reflect on the fact that the roots of modernity and its art production do not lie in Enlightenment and rationalism, but in the process of colonialization, which has not yet come to an end.

The colonialization and proselytization of South America was a laboratory of the tremendous ideological function which – under the Counter-Reformation’s compulsion to act – was imposed on images after the Council of Trent. We claim that there are quite obvious parallels and interrelations between this ideological function of colonial painting and the function that art now takes on to vest the new elites of globalization with legitimacy. These connections form no linear, historical narrative. One can perhaps retrace a straight line drawn from the Conquista to the dominance of Euro-American corporations in South America and the persisting subordination of colonial/ex-colonial culture. But there is also a simultaneity and an unfinished aspect of history, allowing one to raise questions as to present artistic production using this painting. If parallels exist between the wealth and magnificence, as surplus value of meaning, in the 17th-century boomtown of Potosí and the current hotspots of accumulation of totalitarian capitalism and its biennales, then this also affects our own involvement in them.

The Exhibition: About 20 paintings of the Potosí painting school from the 17th–18th century have been answered by contemporary artists from La Paz, Beijing, Moscow, Madrid, Berlin, Huelva, Sevilla and London, taking into account the different political conditions in the surroundings their day-to-day, labour, and productions are located.

The Curators and the Correspondents: A team of curating artists-researchers, relying on an informal network of friendships, collaborations, correspondents, and travels. So-called correspondents were invited to transfuse the “Potosí Principle” into their local context and own political experience.

The Project is an ongoing process, which is not finished with the first exhibition in Madrid. After Madrid, the show will be presented at Haus der Kulturen der Welt / Berlin (October 2010), and Museo Nacional de Arte and MUSEF / La Paz (April 2011).

Artists and collaborators: Sonia Abian (Barcelona); Anna Artaker (Vienna); Christian von Borries/Alice Creischer/Andreas Siekmann (Berlin); Matthijs de Bruijne (Amsterdam/Beijing); Chto Delat (Moscow/St Petersburg); Stefan Dillemuth/Konstanze Schmitt/Territorio Doméstico (Munich/Berlin/Madrid); Ines Doujak (Vienna); Elvira Espejo (La Paz); Marcelo Esposito (Barcelona/Buenos Aires); Harun Farocki (Berlin); León Ferrari (Buenos Aires); Maria Galindo/Mujeres Creando (La Paz); Isaias Griñolo (Huelva); Dmitry Gutov/David Riff (Moscow); Rogélio Lopez Cuenca (Barcelona); Eduardo Molinari (Buenos Aires); Migrant Workers Museum Beijing (Beijing); PRPC Plataforma de Reflexión sobre Políticas Culturales (Seville); TIPPA (London); Zhao Liang (Beijing) + guests (Monika Baer, Quirin Bäumler, Luis Guaraní, Sally Gutierez Dewar).

Marx describes primitive accumulation as the destruction of solidarity and power structures in traditional society as a consequence of the dynamics of exploitation triggered by capitalism. As Immanuel Wallerstein emphasizes, this does not entail a historical fact at the origins of capitalism, but persists in global society today in the same way it occurs at the origins of modernity. This condition defines a cyclical, traumatic process of expropriation and social disarticulation, which at the same time involves the mobilization of new, vital flows and complex processes of subjectification.

Principio Potosí, an exhibition curated by Alice Creischer, Max Jorge Hinderer and Andreas Siekmann (Museo Reina Sofía; Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin and Museo Nacional de Arte and Museo de Etnografía y Folklore in La Paz), contends that modernity does not have it origins or foundation in rationalism and the Enlightenment’s promises of liberty, but in the process of expansion and exploitation initiated in the sixteenth century with the discovery of primordial wealth in colonial territory. The process instigated a mechanism of instrumentalizing the Other that in many ways is far from having ended. Even greater than Paris during the French Revolution or London during the industrial revolution, Potosí in the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries marks a paradigm of globalized modernity in its concentration of capital and machinery to produce hegemony. It constitutes a principle that has operated with continuous reterritorialization throughout history. This seminar, the first public presentation of Principio Potosí, will debate the foundations, transformations and continuity of the accumulation principle as key to understanding the relationships of domination and resistance, moving beyond arguments that have led debates on anti-globalization in the previous decade.

Another Sovereignty Dispute Stand-Off

File:Patrullero "Centinela" (2).JPGAdd another to the list of places where national interests clash over claims to offshore areas. Spain and Britain have had a long running dispute over Gibraltar and the surrounding waters. Despite progress toward “European Unity,” they don’t  seem to be getting along very well. File:HMS Sabre - P285.jpg

May 3, a Spanish patrol vessel, the Atalaya (just a bit larger than a 210, photo of a sistership top left), entered waters claimed by Britain and ordered all anchored merchant shipping to leave. The authorities in Gibraltar sent out HMS Scimitar (illustrated to the right by her sister ship) to enforce their position.

None of the merchant ships weighed anchor and after about an hour and a half the Atalaya left. “Strongly worded note to follow.”

Rather sad to see “HMS Scimitar” as a 52 foot boat when in a previous generation it was one of a class of 67 destroyers.

La Rica Churchill

I remember smoking this cigar early in my cigar life and liking it, then I remember smoking it years later and not liking it anymore. Let’s see if this tubed Churchill makes the first category or the latter one. I tried to find some information online and only saw the cigar mentioned on Belgian and U.K. based websites, nowhere else, so I’m guessing these cigars aren’t available in the USA.

The cigars are made in Nicaragua, that I know, because it says so on the tube, Hecho a mano Nicaragua natural. And the tax ring around the cigar tells me I bought this in Belgium, most likely at Huis Verloo in Antwerp for the price of € 7,50.

The milk chocolate colored wrapper isn’t the best looking wrapper I have ever seen, to put it mildly. It has a few medium thick, unflattened veins and a color that looks just a bit off. The ring is simple, yellow and black with a abstract sun and black letters La Rica.  The construction has an even feel but the cap could look better. The aroma is quite pungent, acidic with some milk chocolate.

After cutting the cigar I taste a little sweetness and pepper with a great draw. After lighting I taste coffee, but a bit harsh. The cigar doesn’t improve, no the contrary, the cigar gets meaner. After a third I taste a harsh, mean wood with vinegar. The vinegar fades away. I still taste a mean woody flavor, but bid with some straw and a mild pepper. The flavors are getting meaner and more harsh in the last third, yet there is also a bit sweetness.

The draw is fine, the ash is dark though. The ash is medium in volume and thin. The color is gray. The burn is straight as an arrow. The cigar is medium full bodied and unfortunately medium flavored. It lasts two horrible hours.

Would I buy this cigar again? If it wasn’t for a review I would not have finished the cigar.

Score: 78

Sultan Churchill

In 1990 a certain Mr. Yan decided he would create a cigar for diplomatic use of the Sultan’s Palace in Jogjakarta, a place that I visited on the same trip that started my cigar passion back in 2005. I didn’t see this cigar though. The cigar is an Indonesian puro and the tobacco comes from within the walls of the Java kingdom, is aged for five years and being rolled at the oldest factory of Java that was established a century ago. And I decided to publish this review on the day that the Dutch government declared defeat in the Indonesian independence war back in 1949 after a bloody 4 year war, a part of the Dutch history that we cannot and should not be proud of since the Dutch behaved like animals.

Tobacco cultivation and cigar manufacturing is staple in Indonesia, but most of the tobacco is ment for short fillers, dry cured cigars that are still very popular in western European countries like Germany, The Netherlands and Belgium. Only a little of the tobacco is used for longfillers but one of the strains of tobacco made its way to Latin America and is being grown locally and used in premium longfillers after all, that tobacco is named after the Indonesian island it came from: Sumatra.

The cigar is 7×50 but for some reason it looks a bit thicker. The wrapper is smooth and soft and has a bit of a green glow to it, but its smooth, the one visible vein has been rolled flat. The construction feels good and the cigar has a nice look to it. The ring is nice, its not a glossy ring but matte and starts with a black ring on the bottom with green letters saying ‘hand made long filler aged tobacco’, then a golden ring with black letters saying ‘original’ and then a white square on a green background with green wings and a black crest with golden letter Sultan. On the green there are some figures in a language I don’t recognize in a golden print. On the side the ring says “Cigar van Java” which means ‘cigar from Java’ in golden letters. The mild aroma reminds me of a walk through the forrest.

I punched the cigar. The cold draw is great and i taste a spicy herbal flavor. I lit the cigar with a jet flame. I taste herbs and cinnamon. After an inch I taste dry soil, herbs, pepper and lemon. After a third the cigar gets a little harsh with a strong pepper flavor but a different flavored pepper than for example a Nicaraguan cigar. Halfway I taste a nasty tar flavor so I cut a piece of. The tar is gone but the cigar remains harsh and unpleasant.

The draw is flawless and the light colored ash is beautiful and firm. The smoke is too thin and too low in volume for my liking. The burn is alright. The cigar is medium bodied and medium flavored. The smoke time is about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Would I buy this cigar again? Not for the $13 msrp. This cigar doesn’t fit my profile but it’s nice to try it and taste the difference in tobaccos between Asia and Latin America.

708 Connecticut Junior

708 Cigars is the brand of two Chicago brothers that run a shop and are, at least from what I learn on the internet, involved with Drew Estate in some Arab countries as distributers but I don’t know exactly what that deal is. I know I got these cigars as a sampler from a company that is thinking about bringing them to the Dutch market. And there is the Drew Estate connection again, the owner of that company is a close personal friend of Jonathan Drew.

I only have the 4×44 Junior in this Connecticut Shade blend, I smoked the same vitola and a Churchill in the barberpole version once before though. The website of 708 cigars doesn’t tell me anything except for the size and that they come in 20 count boxes but the description for the filler, binder and wrapper is proprietary according to the website.

The wrapper is pale, its got veins, it’s wrinkly at the head and the cap is placed by, what it appears to be, a novice roller. The cigar feels evenly filled though. The ring is nice colored, in bathroom or kitchen colors, gray with beige and the logo looks like a hand written 708. The print quality is good. The cigar has a full aroma and all that comes to mind is poop, poop and manure, which is poop too.

I cut the cigar on a Sunday morning, since it’s a Connecticut Shade I think this could be a morning smoke. When I wet the tip I notice a sweetened tip, that’s a downer. The cold draw is loose and I taste chemical sweetness. After lighting I taste coffee with that chemical sweetness. After a quarter of an inch the cigar turns spicy too. But that chemical sweetness destroys it all. Halfway the sweetness disappears, I taste spicy cedar now, a little on the harsh side. The harshness grows and I have to toss the cigar.

The draw is loose, but the thick, white and voluminous smoke makes up for it. The ash is black and white with thick layers. This mild to medium bodied and medium flavored cigar has a smoke time of thirty minutes.

Would I buy this cigar again? Hell no!

Boveda 69 % Humidity Pack 60 gram packet.

Boveda 69 % are two-way humidity pack guaranteed to take the guesswork out of maintaining proper humidity levels inside your cigar humidor. Lasts 2-3 months.

Boveda 69%

Individually Over Wrapped, 60 gram, Single Pack Boveda 69 %

Boveda 69 Humidity Packs are a revolutionary 2-way humidity control product that will maintain your humidor within +/- 2.5% RH. Boveda guarantees a constant level of humidity that never fluctuates or cycles. It also eliminates bacteria, mold and mildew. You will never have to use distilled water or PG solution again.

The humidity level you desire is a personal preference for your cigars. Some people enjoy their cigars a little dryer and some enjoy them a bit more moist. Boveda Humidity Packs now come in different humidity levels. It is up to you which one you prefer.

Remember, Boveda Humidity Packs are bi-directional… They will actually remove moisture from a humidor that is too moist, release humidity into a humidor that is too dry and then maintain the relative humidity based on the percentage you use. Each Boveda packet consists of a specially prepared saturated solution of pure water and natural salt. This saturated solution is contained within a water-vapor permeable “reverse osmosis” membrane. Within a closed desktop humidor Boveda maintains a predetermined level of (RH) by releasing or absorbing purified water-vapor—as needed—through the membrane. They also work great in Travel Humidors…

There is a simple formula to determine how many Boveda Packs you require. You will need one Pack for the Humidor itself and one pack for every 25 cigars of CAPACITY. So if you have a humidor that holds 40 cigars, use 3 packs. If your box holds 75 cigars, use 4 packs. 100 cigars, 5 packs.

The life of any Boveda Pack is based on how hard it has to work. When using the recommended 1 Boveda per 25 cigars the humidor holds (even if it isn’t full of cigars), they’ll last 2-3 months. Since Boveda will never humidify beyond the RH you’re using, there’s no such thing as “too much” Boveda. More Boveda will work more efficiently and last longer, meaning you can never buy more than you need. Stored in plastic containers or the Humidor Bag, Boveda will last 6+ months.

Apply for a Marriage License

What will I need for the marriage license application for my wedding?

Prior to the wedding date, the bride and groom will need to fill out the marriage license or wedding permit application. The typical items asked for on a marriage license application for the bride and groom are: the bride's and groom's name, where the bride and groom were born and when, the bride's and groom's personal contact information, information on any previous marriages, the bride's and groom's education and occupations, and each of their father and mother's names. You will also have to pay a small fee in order to have a license for the wedding.  Some states require the couple to appear in person (and bring proof of identification), and some even require a blood test for the bride and groom.  Apply for a marriage license now by finding your state using the map below.

Why do I need a marriage license for my wedding?

As part of the wedding ceremony the married couples are given certain rights and obligations under the federal and state laws of the United States, so it is necessary to ensure that the man and woman have entered into a binding contract that will be legally recognized and recorded on the government’s books and records. In order for the wedding to result in a binding marriage under law the man and woman must have the capacity to consent to and consummate the marriage, meaning they must be of the appropriate age and have the mental capacity to make the decision and understand the commitment they are making during the wedding ceremony when they make their wedding vows. The wedding ceremony must also be conducted by an individual with the authority to solemnize the marriage by law. The marriage license application process is meant to ensure that these criteria are met for the wedding.

California Alaska Oregon Washington Hawaii Idaho Utah Arizona New Mexico Colorado Wyoming Montana North Dakota South Dakota Nebraska Kansas Oklahoma Texas Louisiana Arkansas Missouri Iowa Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan Illinois Indiana Ohio Mississippi Alabama Florida Georgia South Carolina North Carolina West Virginia Maryland New Jersey New York Vermont Maine New Hampshire Massachusetts

What do I need to do to validate the license for the wedding?

A marriage license is usually only valid for a wedding ceremony during a specific period of time and then it expires (between 30 days and 1 year depending on the state). Additionally, some states require a short waiting period (usually 3 days) before the license becomes valid to ensure that the couple is not rushing into marriage and to avoid annulments or divorce. You must solemnize the marriage in a wedding ceremony within the prescribed time period and have the marriage license signed by the wedding officiator and usually one or two witnesses. After the wedding, the marriage license must then be returned to the designated government office to be finalized and placed on the official records. A marriage certificate will be sent to you within a few weeks. If the bride wishes to change her name, the marriage certificate must be taken to the social security office and have her name legally changed. She would also have to change her name on her driver’s license and car registration at the department of motor vehicles, on her passport and any other memberships, credit cards, bank accounts, etc. The name change for the spouse is not automatic.

Who can perform the wedding ceremony?

A wedding ceremony can be performed by any officiator who has the legal authority as designated by state law. Who can perform the wedding ceremony and what the processes are for obtaining certification to perform a ceremony differ by state. Normally, an ordained minister can perform a wedding ceremony at any location, whether a chapel or outdoors, or a judge can perform the wedding, often called a civil ceremony, at the courthouse. Civil ceremonies will require an additional fee. Some states allow for individuals to be deputized to perform wedding ceremonies for the day of the wedding, allowing you to have a close friend or relative perform your ceremony.

How old do you have to be to be married?

In most states, the man and woman must be of the legal age of 18 years old in order to be married; however, some states allow for persons under the age of 18 to be married with the consent of the parents and the agreement of a judge. Even without the consent of the parents, minors may be able to marry with a court order. The legal requirement is usually that even if they are under 18 years old, the man and woman must have the required mental capacity to enter into a binding marriage.

Francis Marion Dally

Company A, 83rd Illinois Volunteer Infantry

Submitted by Matt Newman

These two letters were written by Francis Marion Dally who went by the name of Frank Dally. He was in Company A of the 83rd Illinois Infantry during the Civil War. He enlisted at Monmouth, Illinois in August of 1862 at the age of 19. He was 5 Feet 6 inches high, light complexion, hazel eyes, brown hair, and his occupation when enlisted was a farmer. He died in Central Hospital in Paducah, Kentucky of Typhoid Pneumonia on December 17, 1862, which was 2 weeks after the second letter was written. In the first letter he mentions several from his regiment. George W. Cox was from Ellison, Illinois and died in battle on Oct. 23rd 1862. The Dan he refers to is Daniel Arter who is a brother of Francis Marion Dally&Mac226;s brother-in-law. He also mentions Merritt and Joel Clark who were from the same town as Francis (Roseville, Illinois), and David Godfrey who was from Ellison, Illinois. In the second letter the ŒHan&Mac226; he mentions is his sister Hannah, Jane is his sister-in-law, ŒWash&Mac226; is his brother George Washington Dally, and John is his brother-in-law John Arter.

Oct the 25 1862 Donelson

Well folks I received your letter and was glad to heare that you was all well. I am well and have been. I just got hom last night after martching a distance of about 38 miles and back over these darned hills that are covered with stones so that you cant hardly walk for them, but we made it pay for we had the funn of knocking about 18 or 20 of them Darnation yelow bitches so far that they never will see the road back again nor no outher road that is shure. We lost one man kill and seven or eight wounded one mostly I expect that he will die. We only had about 225 men and they had some 1300 but they was not engaged, the first engagement was after night and they were scaterd all throug the woods. That night we camped about a mile from the battle ground I stood gard that night. I was not in the fight the next morning oure oficers thought it prudent to retreat so we started for Fort Donelson the next morning.

That man that was killed was out oure mess his name was George W. Cox he lived on Ellison the man that you and was got them apples of he was a good felow I helped caryed his corpse to the buggy and out of the buggy to the grave, there was about 5 or six hundred men at the burian and just as good order as ever was observed six men were called and fired three shots apiece over his then we martched back to camp keeping time to roll of the stiring drum.

When we are on a martch we eate every thing and any thing that we can get, the last time that is this trip we martched ten miles farther and camped for the rest of the night witch was from one oclock till morning. The next day we stoped at noon an killed an ox and took three behives and one barrel of molasses we emtyed of the very best kind we all filled oure canteens, and so you can have an idea how it is sometimes we have plenty and sometimes not so mutch althoug we have had all we wanted to eate while we was in camp.

We started just at daylight a traviled about five miles when oure rear company was attacked by 250 of them Darned Devils and just about that time oure company was ordered back on the Doubled quick they were about a 1/4 of mile behind when we came up, oure boys were giving them the deale they fought about 15 minits when they saw a good many of there saddles emty they concluded that they would take the back track, they made the bulets whistle over oure heads rite brisk for a little while but they cant scare the 83 boys if they want to fight let them pich in. I never have been the least bit homesick yet nor the least bit scart nor never expect to. I am well and feel perfectly contented, it snowing now but yesterday it was warm. Dan is well. Merit Clark and Joel and David Godfry are all sick but none of them are very bad they all sit up in the daytime. I have herd I was in the hospital at Mound City but I never saw that place yet for I was asleep when we passed there it was at night.

You said that you had sown 10 acres of wheat and had got your plowing very near done. I like to know Nig looks by this time and wheather he is a going to make a smashing horse or not. When I back there I want to drive a team don't kill him but get his mate if he is worth anything if not trade and get a good one. Tell mother not to be scart before anybody is hurt, we are a going to give the sesesh the dickens before we come back. I am now in the hous where our boy stay that are sick, setting just as close to the fire as posible. The boys hafto pay 3 dolers a week for board that is rather steep but they think that they would rather pay that then to go to the hospital, but I believe that I would go to the hospital now because it is cool now. I boarded here when I was sick but it was warm then.

Nomore at present.
But am nothing els but

Frank Dally

Central Hospital Paducah December 2 1862

Well pap and mother I thought I would take the preasent oportunity to inform that I am better to day and these few lines will find you enjoying good health. I am in good spirits we have more to eate than we did when you was here, the sun shines bright to day although it is rather cool. There have three men died since you left, that one that made sutch fus all the time his name was Mitchel and another that laid right beside of him they died the same night and then another felow I don't know wheather you took notice to him or not he laid right by the door his name was Andeson he was a young man. I have not heard from Donelson since you left. I don't know how the boys got along with that fight. I want you to get Nig fat as he can can (?) against I come back, for I am going to ride him to death nearly. I want to try to get a match for him and have a good team but I expect that you spent so mutch money coming down here that I will hafto wait till I get it. Well there is one thing I have not got home yet and don't know how soon I will be but I have an idea that I will between now and next spring sometime. I am getting cold and will to the fire for a little bit.

Well I can just tell you that my Dierea still continues faithful but not quite so bad. I don't think there are no very sick boys in now. Tell Han and Jane that I want them to have something good to eate against I get for I don't intend to do any but eate.

Wash you need not be in a huray about joining the Army for when you are joined once you are there.
John you stay to home and cary that black colt and it fat and maby I will go indebt and buy it to match Nig.

Grist for Locke’s Mill

By Wendy Gooditis

At our dinner table, it has always been a favorite pastime to go around the table and share memories. On an average day, the question is about recent memories: “What was your favorite part of the day?” All answers are permitted, and often there are more than one happy memory being shared and stored away in the vault of family history.

On holidays, with more chairs filled and more generations conversing, the questions are often “What was Thanksgiving like when you were little?” These memories set us all on the inviting path into the past, down which we travel together, exploring many side trails along the way.

With my own parents, I still ask many questions about their own histories; fun ones like, “What kind of car did you learn to drive in?” And serious ones like, “What do you remember about the Great Depression?” The answers are often educational, sometimes surprising, and always fascinating.

A favorite memory of my father’s is one he has told me often and vividly enough that I feel I have lived it, too. He describes how, as a very young child in small-town Alabama, he used to be allowed to visit his father at the grist-mill the family owned for some years. My father describes the all-consuming sensory experience: the flour dust hanging in the air and giving every object an otherworldly pallor, the warm smell of grain against grinding stone, and most enthralling, all the sounds which made up the deep thrumming of a grinding mill, a noise almost more felt than heard, rising from feet through belly up spine to vibrate rhythmically in the ears. The tireless splash of the sluice driving the rattling wood-against-wood of the gears, turning the weighty, whirring grindstones.

I love to think of my father as that little boy, perched on a sack of corn meal, watching his father tend his mill through the flour-dust fog.

So when I got the chance to go see/smell/hear the wonderfully restored Locke’s Mill on a grinding day, I accepted with alacrity. For me, an antique mill gathers the several threads of history of locale, human ingenuity, and lifestyle in one irresistible spot. Who were the people who searched for the right spot on the right stream and decided that enough people needed a mill to make it worth the huge undertaking of building one? How on earth did those people know to order millstones from somewhere in Europe where the hardest stone could be had, and just how long did it take those stones to arrive, and by what conveyance? And stepping forward through the decades, at what point did the job as miller originally embarked upon from necessity or inheritance change to career choice and gradually to lifestyle?

The patient and wonderful owners of Locke’s Mill and the recently rebuilt miller’s house answered my many questions with enthusiasm and justifiable pride. I was charmed to be permitted to explore the entire, beautifully restored building – new siding, restored windows, some new plank floors. Most of the old timber structure is original, but a major huge beam and a couple of stout supports are new, though they are as gorgeously rustic as their aged neighbors.

The flume and sluice (which divert part of the mill stream to turn the mill wheel), the mill wheel itself, the fantastic wooden gears are all sturdy, meticulously restored, and functioning as they should. I stood and watched the rye grain pouring in and the rye flour pouring out and thought about the life of a modern-day miller in a small, antique mill.

The good news is that there is a living to be made still, thanks in part to the modern sensibilities which draw people to organic and locally produced consumable products of all sorts. The current millers entered mill ownership sideways. They thought they were buying a beautifully-sited spot on the river, from which to base their passion for kayaking with groups of friends. How heavenly to end the day on the banks of the river which had provided the day’s enjoyment! The property happened to have a run-down old cabin — oh, and an abandoned mill.

Over time, the lure of restoration led the owners to rebuild the old cabin into a modern, comfortable house, and then on to the revitalizing of the mill itself. It has been a labor of love, with the fascination for the highest and best use of a mill — namely, milling — gradually becoming a part of their lives, however unintended. Without seeking actual business, the millers found themselves with two good contracts for the regular production of organic flours. Because these contracts arrived on their doorstep of their own volition, it is the millers’ strong feeling that, on top of this existing income, there is plenty more demand out there for someone who wishes to make a living as a miller.

It occurs to me to reflect on a lifestyle trend which — as evidenced by the interest in organics and local production — is attracting people across generations. I know a couple from Bethesda coming up on retirement who want to invest in some land with which to give young organic farmers a place to start out. I know a young couple with two small children who are saving to buy a small farm and live off the grid. Will I get to meet a budding miller with an interest in living a simpler, rural life and contributing to the organic and local movement? I sure hope so.
NPR did a story about young people reviving the back-to-the-land and off-the-grid lifestyle. The story wound up with the statement, “This new generation of farmers have made farming cool again.”

And a paragraph from another story on living the simple life: “A central and exciting task for our times is consciously designing ourselves into a sustainable and meaningful future, from the personal level outwards. In envisioning what this future could look like, it is important to not be bound by old stereotypes and to instead see the realism and the beauty of simpler ways of living.” (HuffPost)

When I stood on the cushiony spring grass, gazing over the sparkling Shenandoah, hearing the splash and creak of the mill wheel behind me, I found it easy to imagine pursuing this endeavor. And so many people have work they do at home these days, and those hours of staring at a computer screen could be beautifully balanced by rewarding work in the mill across the driveway. Some enterprising someone is going to have the best of several worlds!

As you have probably gathered, Locke’s Mill is for sale, along with the modern miller’s house. It stands on 2.5 acres of beautiful riverbank with spectacular views of river and mountains. The house has three spacious bedrooms, three full bathrooms, huge windows, a stone fireplace, 6-burner gas stove, and on and on. Remember what I said about the best of several worlds? As if to satisfy that particular statement, the house has a simple modern sleekness that balances the mill’s rustic antiquity to perfection.

If you decide to be the next Locke’s Mill miller, I hope very much that you’ll allow me to bring my aged father to sit on a sack of grain in contemplation, once in a while on a grinding day.
