dining area

Can you see the turquoise wall? Do you like it?

I do think its  a bit plain... as in... could have done with some stencil work or some motifs? What do you think?

Saying that.. I like round dining areas...

The two glass candle holders on the dining table broke during the wedding week... *sobs*... so for now there isn't anything on the table... But I'll sort that soon...

my living room

The reason I love this room is the ample light it has coming through the sheer curtains all day long. And you must know that Dubai has light all round the year…

Showing you some corners today....

and the play of light in this room...

I can spend hours seated on one of these sofas… and with a friend over for some chai… it makes the space even more comfy… and cozy…

needs some colour

And before I change the colours here, I thought I'll show you how my living room looks...

I sure think it needs more colour... the beauty of the blues & purples aren't enough to bring out the excitement in this space... *giggles*

Saying that, I love the decal on the wall...

But I think I've truly had enough of the colours...

The lotus here is my new find... from Home Center in India I think... *smiles*

a bare corner

I'm not sure if I should call it bare or not... you tell me.. Does the wall look too bare??

Doesn't it look like it needs more stuff.... But then it would look too crowded...

Saying that... all our guests love this corner of the house... *smiles*

Leaving you today... with a few random corners of my home...

Foyer decor

Decorating the foyer is always so much of a hassle... These is space... some space... and so many ideas of things you'd like to do with this space. Does that happen to you??

A few simple ways to decorate the foyer :

Paint always works, find a bold colour that suits your personality. Red is warm and welcoming.

Create a focal point : a table, a mirror are simple ways of doing this

If you aren’t great at putting frames together, even a single piece of artwork can make the foyer look wow. If you have a large frame, try placing it on the floor.

A mirror also works to create an illusion of extra space.

If you have the space of overhead lights, suspend a chandelier or Moroccan lamp. Alternatively use a table lamp to bring in some light into the foyer.

No matter what you keep here, the key is to de-clutter and keep a constant check of things that can easily get accumulated. Have a key holder, place for bags, shoes or anything else you might bring in.

And if you are feeling slightly more adventurous :

Declutter the foyer area. Place a small rug or runner to welcome people into your home. This creates the feeling of openness.

Create an eye-catching display on the wall. Used frames, photos, unused wallpaper, letters, maps, poems, children’s artwork and place them on the wall.

If you have a dark walk or a red wall, a group of ornamental mirrors, or a group of candle holders on the wall creates a beautiful feel to the entrance way.

If you have extra space in the foyer, create a little nook, with a table and a chair or even just a chair (with a pile of suitcases or a pile of books) to give it a cozier feel.

Use colourful fabric on the chair, for the instant electric feel.

Using a ladder to display fabrics or a large artwork on the floor or even a large lamp, creates the oomph and makes your foyer area stand out from anywhere else.

And finally tell me, what you think of my foyer area ...

the right mood

So, how was your weekend?? Mine was awesome... was quiet after a long long time!!

Weekends are when all the candles get used up... *smiles*

I love creating a relaxed atmosphere and using all the candle-stands at home...

The 'madhushala' lamp is by far my favourite *smiles*... We got this one made!!

Like I said... Im going to focus on lighting for the month of march... so send me some images of gorgeous lamps, lights & candles...

a night view

Hello my lovelies, its been a while... and I have so much to say, but simply no time to pen my thoughts. There's a wedding I have to tell you about, a few DIYs and so much more...

Anyway, for now its the weekend.. and here is how the home looked last night.. I love creating an ambiance with light. Colours, Lights & Ambiance are interchangeable words *wink*

Honestly!! Don’t take the choice of lighting too lightly. Colours create the ambience required, but lighting plays a very important role. Lights have its own effects on the colours used and vice-versa. Bringing in more light saves your home from looking gloomy and dark. But positioning of lights make a huge impact on how a space appears.

Here are some quick tips to help you :

Light colours reflect light and dark colours absorb light. Therefore, if your wall colours are dark then you require more light in that room.

A space always looks bigger & brighter when lamps shine upwards or along the walls.

Light bulbs and candles create a warm glow, halogen lamps and fluorescent lights create a soft ambience.

White light is beneficial for your study area where you don’t need any ambient lighting.

Using types of lamps, different shapes of lamps can also create the warmth and desired tone in a room.

We do have lights on the ceiling but only ever use them at dinner time.

I love fairy lights, twinkling lights and random lights hanging around the house. Do you?

So what do you think? Do you have images of lights in your home? Share these with me on

Many humans like to add humor to their daily business in this life, the Universe, and everything. Here are some examples:
  • There is a cool trailer called the Snack Shack near the ferry terminal in Islesboro, Maine (and yes this princess enjoys the food too!). In addition to fun 1950s art posters and other sundry amusements, the owners have this cute, little, professionally painted sign as a reminder to parents: Unattended children will be given espresso and a free puppy.
  • In a coed bathroom at a state government office building in Maine, a woman placed a notice above a toilet in the bathroom. It read, "WOMEN USE THIS BATHROOM TOO GENTLEMAN PLEASE, PUT THE SEAT DOWN AFTER YOU HAVE FINISHED" It seems a man felt the need to share his perspective as well. His sign read, "MEN USE THIS BATHROOM TOO LADIES PLEASE, PUT THE SEAT UP WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED"
  • Churches can have funny sayings posted on their outdoor signs. One such saying, "Lead me not into temptation I can find it myself."

So there are varied ways to keep it interesting and blow off some steam when it involves the human condition. Even though no one gets out alive, we can have fun doing it while we're here.

CCFC's Guide to Commercial-Free Book Fairs

Hold a book fair at your school without corporate marketing or media tie ins! Are you tired of all the items for sale at your book fair that aren't books--such as toys, video games, posters, and fashion accessories? Do you think that school book fairs should promote reading without promoting TV shows and movies?

A Commercial-Free Book Fair is the perfect way to:

  •  Raise funds for a school in a manner consistent with its educational mission.
  •  Promote literacy.
  •  Provide an alternative for children who are already inundated with marketing for media-linked products.
  •  Enrich classroom and library book collections.
  •  Provide books to students-including the opportunity to purchase books for_those who may not have the funds to buy them.
  •  Support a local business.

CCFC's Guide to Commercial-Free Book Fairs includes a directory of independent booksellers who support book fairs.  (Booksellers who would like to be included in future editions of the guide should email ccfc(at)

Plenty of Laborin' on Labor Day

I had a great weekend.

It started on Saturday. My mountain goat group got together for a special adventure trip. Fifteen of us drove up the coast to Ventura, and took the one hour boat ride across the Santa Barbara Channel to Santa Cruz island.

The island is uninhabited. It is all national park or reserve, with a small campground and a visitor's center, and lots of trails. The fog cleared as we arrived, and it was a beautiful sunny day to enjoy the natural beauty.

DW came along for the ride, and rested on the beach as the rest of us started our 2 1/2 hour tour of the island. We would cover 11.5 miles of ups and downs and cruising along cliffs. Plenty of stops for pictures and re-grouping and re-hydrating. It was a leisurely pace, but there was plenty of work to do climbing a few of those hills. And there was no shade the entire day.

Eventually we made it back to the harbor, and I headed directly for a dip in the ocean. The cold water felt so good! Then we all had a potluck picnic lunch and just enjoyed the rest of the afternoon before our boat came back for us at 4:00. It was great to get away from cell service and the city and enjoy nature and running.

Sunday I rested because I had 18 to do on Monday. It would be warm again - like all my recent long runs, but I got up earlier this time and got out the door just after 7AM. My legs were still heavy from Saturday, but I just needed to get the miles in, and having tired legs was just a bonus!

My last few long runs ended with some bonking in the heat. But not this one! The early start, plus two GUs and frequent extended hydration stops helped. I was tired, but slipped into marathon pace anyway, and was able to maintain it all the way to the last mile! 8:04 pace for the last 12. Kind of surprised myself. It did wonders for my confidence, and now I feel much better about tackling 26.2 in 9 weeks.

Looking to do 19 next weekend before a short taper for the Erie Half the following week.

More good news; My weight dropped below 150 for the first time in two years. Optimal weight! And I am ready to declare that the Plantar Fasciitis is officially gone after almost a year. All systems are go! Let's see how long this can last.

27 Ways to Respond When Someone Asks Why You're Still Single

27 Ways to Respond When Someone Asks Why You're Still Single

I cannot tell you how many times I have been called upon to explain my utter and complete lack of boyfriend. Typically, I alternate between two main responses, which are 1) shrugging and 2) making noncommittal mouth sounds. It almost always happens at family parties, and the question usually comes after "How's school?" but before "How is [friend I haven’t spoken to in about ten years and who may as well be dead to me]?"

You’ve been there. I can tell. But hey, since we’re going to be parrying these questions at every family gathering and holiday party from now until the day we die, we might as well be ready. So when they ask "When are you ever going to bring a boy around for us to meet?", you simply say…

1. Tis neither here nor there.

2. The more I know of the world, the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.

3. I am too blunt and saucy.

4. I am pigeon-liver'd and lack gall.

5. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever.

6. I have never been in love; it is not my way, or my nature.

7. I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me.

8. They're a rotten crowd.

9. Cows are my passion. What I have ever sighed for, has been to retreat to a Swiss farm, and live entirely surrounded by cows.

10. [Exeunt, pursued by a bear.]

11. I am so foolishly shy, that I often seem negligent, when I am only kept back by my natural awkwardness.

12. Ask me not.

13. What have I done that thou dar'st wag thy tongue in noise so rude against me?

14. Darkness and devils!

15. Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.

16. I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.

17. I am becoming more and more attracted by the gay side of life.

18. Not all those who wander are lost.

19. I could not be happy with a man whose taste did not in every point coincide with my own.

20. That little word "why" has run through all universe from the first day of creation...and for seven thousand years it has had no answer.

21. I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other.

22. Anybody between fifteen and thirty may have me for asking.

23. Oft expectation fails, and most oft there where most it promises.

24. Men don't interest me. No—women neither.

25. The worst of having a romance of any kind is that it leaves one so unromantic.

26. I am unlike other people, I dare say.

27. Let me be boiled to death with melancholy.

Ducktails – Wish Hotel EP

on October 21, 2013, 12:00am
Release Date

With the release of The Flower Lane just less than nine months ago, Real Estate guitarist Matt Mondanile took his Ducktails project in a surprising, new direction. That album, his first with Domino, was wrapped in sophisticated production values, and played around with jazz, funk, and other genres. The Flower Lane’s experiments were largely successful, indulging Mondanile’s endearingly laid-back personality while dropping the lo-fi aesthetic of his previous offerings. On Wish Hotel, his latest EP, Mondanile scraps the lush, expansive sound and goes back to his simpler, home-recorded basics.

Where The Flower Lane employed a full band and featured collaborations with Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point Never and Madeline Follin of Cults, amongst others, Mondanile stands alone on Wish Hotel. Recorded in his Ridgewood, New Jersey home, Mondanile returns to the lackadaisical lo-fi sentimentality of Ducktails III: Arcade Dynamicswhile furthering his pop songwriting chops. A perfect example of this is the standout opener “Tie-Dye”, which features warm guitar tones, a squealing lead synthesizer, and a prominent bass line.

Phased-out guitars drive the EP’s lead single, “Honey Tiger Eyes”, though while it’s a well composed tune, it’s not entirely memorable. On the highlight title track, Mondanile wistfully sings that “you could be mine” over hazy, moody atmospherics. Occasionally on Wish Hotel, the jam-minded tracks veer into pure noodling, like the instrumental closer “Naïve Music”, though the majority of the EP is composed of highly-listenable songs.

In interviews, Mondanile has explained that Ducktails acts as a means to pursue ideas he couldn’t while working with his Real Estate bandmates. His independence has proven to be necessary, with each release showcasing his growth as an individual songwriter. Though these five songs trend closer to his earlier material, Wish Hotel makes it clear that Mondanile has become more adept at writing fully-formed, accessible songs.

Essential Tracks: “Tie-Dye”, “Wish Hotel”

Street Naming and Numbering

Speaker iconQuestion icon

Printer-friendly versionPDF version

Copeland Borough Council is responsible for street naming and numbering within the Borough and provides this function under the provisions of Section 64 of the Town Improvements Clauses Act with the extension of the Public Health Acts Amendment Act 1907.

Why is Street Naming and Numbering Important?

The addressing of new properties is becoming increasingly important within the Borough, particularly with the rise in new housing developments. It is imperative that the emergency services and Royal Mail are able to locate properties quickly and efficiently. Therefore the overall objective when undertaking street naming and numbering is to allocate unique and logical addresses whilst complying with the recommendations and guidelines provided in the guidance from the Information House.

Properties in the Borough are found in both urban and rural locations. Postal numbering exists in the urban areas, whereas any rural areas consisting of small settlements may not have postal numbering schemes and properties may be identified by property name only.

Who Should Apply?

  • Individuals or developers creating new streets, building new houses, commercial or industrial units
  • Individuals or developers undertaking conversions of residential, commercial properties, holiday cottages or industrial premises which will give rise to a new address
  • People wishing to re-name a property

When To Apply?

For any new build or conversion of a property you should apply to the Council for address allocation once you have received planning approval. We will then contact the Royal Mail who will allocate the postcode to the approved address. Utility companies are reluctant to install services without an official address and postcode.

How To Apply?

  • To apply you can complete the attached form Street Naming and Numbering Application Form and email it to or post it to FAO Planning Policy, The Copeland Centre, Catherine Street, Whitehaven, Cumbria, CA28 7SJ
  • Alternatively you can collect an application form from the Copeland Centre or you can request us to post one to you by calling 01946 598436

Guidance Notes

For full information of what is acceptable for street naming and numbering applications please see:
the Guidance for Street Naming and Numbering

Hello everyone, Åsa here today with some coloring inspiration.

Many of my favorite color combinations are quite soft and dimmed.
But sometimes a like to add a little bit more color, and what is more colorful than yellow?!

Although I really like the way the yellow colour 'pop' in the image I find it quite hard to colour.
The hard thing is to get depth and still make it feel as poppy and yellow as I want.

How do you think I have succeed with this one?

The image is from Sureya/Deviant Art.

I have used the following colors:
Skin: E11-21-00-000-R11
Hair: E79-77-74-71-70
Purple: V09-0-05-04
Yellow: Y00-02-06-15-23
Jeans: W5-3-1-0

Have a wonderful week!

Fabulous image and Awesome card. Love the yellow.

Wow the colours go so well together and your colouring is stunning your card is amazing x

Indie Film Spotlight: Films from Tribeca Film Festival Available On Demand and Online

Today, we launched a new On Demand offering called Tribeca Film that brings nearly 20 million Xfinity digital customers front-row seats to one of the most prominent film festivals in the world, the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, along with other indie movies, which will be available in most markets throughout the year On Demand.

After a successful partnership with Tribeca Film last year, we wanted to again give our customers, especially the ones that can't travel to New York to the Tribeca Film Festival, a way to watch indie films the same day they premiere at the festival, and, in other cases, before a film debuts in theaters. With notable names like Ryan Phillippe, Keira Knightley, Zach Braff, Dax Shepard, Sam Worthington and Eva Mendes, this year's lineup is not to be missed. We'll have six feature films available on Tribeca Film On Demand and online at XfinityTV.com: "The Bang Bang Club, "Last Night," "NEDS," "The Bleeding House," "The High Cost of Living" and "Brother's Justice." We'll also have special extras such as interviews, deleted scenes and behind the scenes looks.

The launch of Tribeca Film On Demand and the availability of these films on XfinityTV.com builds on our commitment to broaden the reach of indie films, so our customers have access to them, anytime, anywhere. This offering also complements our Indie Film Club On Demand and online, the hundreds of indie films available on XfinityTV.com and the 2,000 indie films we are currently rolling out to our customers On Demand.

The 2011 Tribeca Film Festival runs through May 1, so if you can't make it to the festival to watch in person, be sure to check out these films On Demand and on XfinityTV.com.

Men's Lacrosse Prevails at Southern Maine, 9-8

Men's Lacrosse Prevails at Southern Maine, 9-8

GORHAM, ME—Sophomore midfielder Dennis Healy (Hanover, MA/Hanover HS) and junior attackman Adam Niden (Walpole, MA/Walpole HS) scored consecutive goals in the third period to break a 6-6 tie and the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's men's lacrosse team went on to defeat host Southern Maine, 9-8,  n a Little East Conference match at Hannaford Field Saturday.

Healy scored with 7:45 left in the third quarter to break a 6-6 tie, and Niden's goal three minutes later gave UMD a two-goal advantage. Mark White scored for the Huskies with 1:33 left in the third quarter to cut the Corsairs' lead to 8-7. Junior midfielder Jordan McPherson (Westwood, MA/Westwood HS) scored early in the fourth quarter to restore UMD's two-goal lead. Kyle Baker scored for USM with 3:11 left to make it 9-8, but USM was unable to tie the score before time expired.

Southern Maine took a 5-3 lead after the first quarter, but junior midfielder Justin Lawless (Quincy, MA/Archbishop Williams HS) and freshman midfielder Alex Lucas (Brookfield, MA/Tantasqua HS) scored in the second quarter, and the teams were tied at halftime. White and McPherson exchanged goals in the third quarter before the Corsairs took the lead for good. McPherson and White led their teams with three goals each.

"We played well enough to win," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Kevin Mahoney. "We didn't have a good first quarter, but we adjusted and played well in the second and third quarters, and it was good to come out with a win. We're still a young team, and Southern Maine is much improved. It's good to be 7-1 and 2-0 in the conference."

Southern Maine out shot UMD, 37-36.  Junior goalkeeper Nick Thayer (Chelmsford, MA/Chelmsford HS) made 15 saves for UMD, while Ryan Hatch made eight stops for USM.

UMD improved to 7-1 and 2-0 in the Little East Conference with the victory, while Southern Maine dropped to 4-4 and 0-2 in LEC play with the defeat. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they host Massachusetts Maritime Wednesday evening. Southern Maine will visit Colby Wednesday.

Designating Roles: Leading, Supporting, and Advertising

This past week, the four of us at Mary Washington got together to try and divvy up the responsibilities for the site, both for our own project and for the creation of the overall site for this Century America project.  It was an interesting process just because I have never worked on a group endeavor in such extensive terms before, and planning a website is a lot different than simply proposing a paper!  I think we did a decent job of trying to assess what each of our roles within the project are going to be, and how we will work together to create an overarching site that everyone involved will be proud of.

For my part, I will be collecting and publishing the narrative about Josiah P. Rowe (which will be found in the Fredericksburg section of the site) and compiling the information from President Russell’s papers into a section on Administration at the State Normal School (to be found in the SNS section of the site).  This will entail digitizing whatever sources that I think will best contribute to these narratives, as well as writing about what we’ve discovered and what the two sections that I am in charge of will entail.  With Leah, I will also be responsible for creating the page for the State Normal School, from which the viewer will be able to see the different sections about the school during that time.

Lastly, Candice and I will be making a map using Maps Alive in order to show which states have schools participating in the Century America project that is sponsored by COPLAC and the Teagle Foundation.  This map will live on the site home page for the entire Century America project and will hopefully be able to engage the reader and excite them about the diversity of the project.  I might just be a little bitter (just a bit) that we won’t be using GIS and this software isn’t spatial, but I know that for the purpose of this project this will be much easier and user-friendly than trying to incorporate elements from ArcMap.

As for advertising, we have considered going to the Bullet to get an article published on the school website either for our ADH class or the Century America project, which would then hopefully provide links to each of the participating websites so that we can get viewers from there.  On a more realistic scale, we will try to reach out to those students already at our school, and proceed by word of mouth and via social media to get our friends and their acquaintances to view our website.  Because the project is about our school, it should be interesting to those of us who attend the university to see what life was like here during the Great War.  Alumni would also be a potential audience since again they are invested in the university and are likely interested in its history.  Finally, another outlet that would be useful in cultivating an audience would be those who participate in reenacting – these individuals are already interested in military history and would most likely be interested in what was happening on the home front of this war as well.

All in all, I think our group is making headway and great progress!  Jack, Candice, Leah, and I can’t wait for what the semester holds for us in this project.  Now to see what bumps we might encounter along the way…

Meet Lois

After my post about the Look of Suits from 1955, Facebook fan Bonnie sent me these pictures and the story of her mom and dad. She has kindly given permission for me to share them with you here.

Lois Marie Cashell and Charles Berkeley Randall were married in November 1957. Lois was working as a hairdresser at Hochschild-Kohn, one of Baltimore's famous department stores at the time.

Because the wedding was small, with only immediate family in attendance for the service at St. James Lutheran Church, Lois chose to wear a suit instead of a wedding gown. She purchased the Glenhaven suit at Hochschild-Kohn, and remembers it was quite expensive, even with her employee discount!

I found this ad for a very similar Glenhaven suit from 1957. Glenhaven suits were of very high quality and made of the best fabrics. Lois's suit was made of Forstmann wool, one of the premier wool mills of the time.

Sadly, Charles passed away just months shy of the couple's 50th wedding anniversary, but their children took Lois out to celebrate the date despite that fact. Amazingly, she was still able to fit into her wedding suit, and wore it along with the original hat, jewelry, and slip that she wore on her wedding day for the celebration. Isn't she beautiful?

Bonnie was kind enough to take some detailed photos of the suit for us.

Not only did the suit last all those years, it still looks stylish today! Thanks for sharing your story and pictures, Bonnie and Lois!

Hobo magazine archives, Coventry music features, other alternative Coventry mags and much more. (In development). Although this is a main part of the Hobo blogs, it's one that still requires a lot more input. Slowly getting it all put on!

Coventry Arts Umbrella Club
That's this blog!!

Coventry Music Articles by Pete ClemonsHouses Peter Clemon's Rock of Ages columns and Coventry music articles for the Coventry Telegraph which charts gigs in Coventry (local bands and famous bands) from 1960 onwards. In addition I'm adding, Coventry Hits, Pete Waterman archives to this section and my 1971 diary of Coventry gigs as a resource.

More to be added when the A to Z of  Coventry bands and artists has been completed.Meanwhile if you should be on the list of the info is wrong or incomplete and if your friends are not on here and should be - let use know at

IT (International Times) had a section of Arts labs and Centres and in 1969, the Umbrella Club got a mention -

'Umbrella' Coventry's Literary Magazine  1959
Coventry Arts Umbrella (or the Umbrella Club) as we all knew it, played an important role in that development, so much so it deserves it's own focus - this blog.

Opened in Little Park Street, Coventry in 1955 by some of the Goons (who were performing at Coventry's Belgrade Theatre), it had associations with Phillip Larkin, Two Tone and housed Coventry's first folk club.

More of The Umbrella's seminal role in the Coventry music and arts scene will be revealed in these pages, which I shall start uploading very soon. Bookmark and revisit and watch it grow.

Note also, that although the Umbrella is not the force it once was in 50's, 60's and 70's, the club has survived in some form and small group of early members still meet at members houses and recently published a pamphlet of poetry, (Visit their site Here )
and we shall mention their activities on here as well celebrating the work of the Umbrella in its primary years. Actually this link is not working now - will check if that's permanent!

'Umbrella', the clubs respected literary journal from 1959 - 61 gets a mention in Phillip Larkin's biography (albeit a footnote). The journal might be 'obscure' as it says in the Larkin bio, but we bring it back to life on this blog with two pdf versions and Larkin's essay on his poem about Coventry - Not the Place's Fault.

Special mention must be made of Terry Watson, an English teacher at King Henry V111 school, poet, editor of Umbrella magazine and whose unstinting dedication to the Umbrella ensured it's continuation through the decades.

The Umbrella's story begins in 1955 with the opening of the premises in Little Park Street (next post), through the publication of Umbrella Literary magazine, through the move to premises at Queen Victoria road in 1961 - hosting Coventry's first folk club, through to the hippy era with the Transcendental Cauldron - a Underground arts fest in 1969 (which was my first experience of the Umbrella) through their explusion from Queen Victoria Road owing to a redevelopment programme and a new base in the Charterhouse. (Umbrella was on the corner where the white dot is - now British Chamber of Commerce.)

Interview and Giveaway with Sherry Ficklin and Tyler Jolley authors of EXTRACTED

Welcome to Cover2CoverBlog!
Could you tell us a little about yourselves?

Sherry- Sure. I’m a full time author, internet radio show host, and book addict. I prefer Star Trek to Star Wars, but only because I think George Lucas sold his soul to Satan (that can be the only explanation for episodes1-3), I question the validity of Batman's membership in the JLA, I wish they would let the cast of Firefly and the cast of Glee battle it out Hunger Games style for a spot on FOX, and I believe anyone who refers to Link as Zelda should be neck slapped.
Basically, I'm over caffeinated and over opinionated. (Read: Uber Nerd)
Tyler- I’m a Gemini.  I’m an orthodontist by day and a writer by night.  I have outfit changes for those jobs in my life.  So I do kind of feel like I’m a super hero.  I’m not a fulltime writer like Sherry, but I’m very jealous of that.  I found that writing for me helps me find balance between teeth and other aspects of my life.  I love to mountain bike, I own a tractor and I’m a fake farmer but I have a real farmer tan.

What was your inspiration for Extracted?

Sherry- I love the story of the Romanovs, the mystery around it. I was watching a special on TV when the idea of making them time travelers hit me.
Tyler – Sherry was the one who came up with the initial story line for Extracted.  It has changed many times since then to what it is now, during that process my research about steampunk inspired me quite a bit.

Which came first – the story or the characters?

Sherry- Ember spoke to me first. In my head, while I was working on other books, she was nudging me. For a while all I had was her name. The story came much later.
Tyler – For me it was a little opposite, Sherry had already mentioned some very preliminary ideas about the story.  Immediately my mind went into world creation mode.  Steampunk was a new genre for me, and I found it so intriguing that I started imaging locations that characters could be in, and hideouts they could hide in.  Character development came later, I always new some of the main character names and genders, but they weren’t fully developed until the world was created.

What is your favorite part about the writing process?

Sherry- My favorite part is hearing from readers. I feel like a book isn’t real until people read it. And I love the feedback, it’s a great feeling when you’ve created something people love.
Tyler – My favorite part about the writing process is being able to get lost in a vivid and fantastical world that I’m trying to create.  I love the brainstorming process and if I can find anybody who will listen.  I like to talk about my stories.

 Do you have a special writing spot?

Sherry- My office pretty much. I go other places when the chaos levels get too high, but my office is decked out to be perfect for all my needs.
Tyler –On a boat, on a train, on an airplane or in the rain.  It’s not a structured thing, I basically write wherever I can.  I make the most of every minute of the day.

Is there anything about you that would surprise your readers?

Sherry-I don’t know. I’m a pretty open book. I do have a deep and abiding love of classic muscle cars and football. That tends to surprise people.
Tyler – I think it would surprise reader to know I didn’t read my first book, start-to-finish, until I was 21.  My ADD made it impossible to stay focused on a book until the end.

What is your favorite random fact? (We all have them, mine is: did you know that the plastic end pieces of your shoelaces are called aglets? I had no idea they had a name)

Sherry: Did you know the term ‘whipping boy’ comes from the middle ages when royal children weren’t allowed to be punished so they kept other children around to take the punishments for them?
Tyler – Banging your head against the wall burns 150 calories an hour, so there’s that.

If you could meet anyone, any time or place; who would it be and why?

Sherry-I’d go with Nikola Tesla because after writing him for so long, I kind of feel like I know him and I’d be curious to see how close I really am.
Tyler - I would want to meet George Lucas during a brainstorming session about Star Wars before it was created.

What are you reading right now? Do you have any book recommendations for us?

Sherry- I just read The White Princess by Phillipa Gregory. Stunning and beautiful. I recommend the whole series.
Tyler – I’m reading Black and Gold Empire Andrian Tchaikovsky.  It’s very creative and intriguing with some undertones of race and government.
About the Book:
Welcome to the war. The Tesla Institute is a premier academy that trains young time travelers called Rifters. Created by Nicola Tesla, the Institute seeks special individuals who can help preserve the time stream against those who try to alter it. The Hollows is a rogue band of Rifters who tear through time with little care for the consequences. Armed with their own group of lost teens--their only desire to find Tesla and put an end to his corruption of the time stream. Torn between them are Lex and Ember, two Rifters with no memories of their life before joining the time war. When Lex's girlfriend dies during a mission, the only way he can save her is to retrieve the Dox, a piece of tech which allows Rifters to re-enter their own timeline without collapsing the time stream. But the Dox is hidden deep within the Telsa Institute, which means Lex must go into the enemy camp. It's there he meets Ember, and the past that was stolen from them both comes flooding back. Now armed with the truth of who they are, Lex and Ember must work together to save the future before the battle for time destroys them both again.

More about the Authors:
Tyler H. Jolley is a sci-fi/fantasy author and full-time orthodontist, periodontist (see: Overachiever). He divides his spare time between writing, reading, mountain biking, and camping with his family.

Sherry D. Ficklin is a full-time writer and internet radio show host with more mouth then good sense. She has a serious book addiction, but continually refuses treatment, much to her husband’s chagrin.

Tyler and Sherry met one fateful day and bonded over their love for books, science fiction, and donuts. Their first co-written novel came shortly after. Now, they still do all those other things, but also go to various steampunk conventions and events under the guise of ‘research’. They can often be found lurking on the Lost Imperials Facebook page or over on the official website, www.thelostimperials.com.

So, as I was saying...

So anyway, then I says to him, I says.... how long?!?

Apparently I fell off the edge of the world. But now I'm back! Oh, yes. Fur sure.

Only, I'm out of the habit, now. What do I say? Let's start with what's on my needles.

I'm knitting a BSJ (baby surprise jacket, for those not in the know) out of yarn that is quite pink. It's going a bit slow, since it's my first time knitting it, and while it is mindless in some ways, it is complex enough that I need to keep my eye on the ball. So to speak. I think I'm close though. I've stepped that one up, since the intended recipient will be ready for in in under a month, and I was hoping to ad a pair of booties or some other charming token to the mix.

I'm knitting another Cobblestone for my dearest papa, since the last onewas a tad snug. It's a good thing this is mindless enough for me to do without knowing that I'm even knitting, practically, since otherwise it might jus drive me MENTAL. (lord knows it's not a long trip). I'm about 5 inches away from the armpits.

It's slowed down, though, since I started on my Central Park Hoodie. This is what joy feels like, people. Every time I pick it up, I think 'well, I'll just knit until teh next cable row.' Then I get there and think 'hmmm... I can't really see that - I'll knit a few rows until I can see it emerge.' So I do. And THEN I think 'well, I'm, only four rows away from the end of the repeat. I'll knit to that.' And then I think 'in two more rows it's another cable row! I'll just knit to that...'

You can see where I'm going with this, can't you. I cast on exactly a week ago, and I'm about two inches away from the back armpit shaping.

Since I am most certainly not in the mood to wrangle with blogger, here is a link to my flickr stream. Annoying, I know, but there are some photos in there under the 'knits' set, and if you are of a mind, you can also check out all the different kinds of funny faces my sister can make. That ought to brighten your day. Or, if you're on ravelry, you can see me here. While you're there, you can also search for 'jo sharp wrap jacket' and a picture of my sister pops up. Gave me a shock the other day, I can tell you.

I have been reprimanded a couple times recently for my rabid queueing habits on ravelry. It got a bit obsessive, I'll grant you. I'd hunt for new exciting patterns, and queue with abandon. It gave me a rush. It filled in for knitting, which is frowned on during work hours. I got cranky when I couldn't find new patterns to queue. I would angrily scan people's queues, wailing and gnashing my teeth when I had ALREADY QUEUED every single pattern that they had. My friends got sick of waking up to a long list of 'kaviare has queued.... kaviare has queued...' They staged an intervention. I'm feeling better now.

In all seriousness, though. I think I've run out. I have five pages of queue. That's 186 items. Every one of which I am burning to knit. You don't believe me? I've had several purges. It's a refined list. When do I think I have time to knit that, or money to buy the yarn? Clearly I'm delusional.

Thankyou, Jess and Casey. You are the best enablers EVER.

Jessica said...

Reprimanded? Nooooooooo never.

Just begged to slow down a little so the rest of us can catch up a little:P

Please tell me I am not the only one who gets a chuckle from your obsessive queing habits.

I am so glad you are feeling the CPH love. The cables really suck you in and somehow they look even better the more twists you add.

I added an extra cable to the length, even on Bianca's, so you may want to check the length and decide how you want it to fit.

I also grafted the hood closed cause I couldn't stand the way the hood looked with that huge seam.

Andrea said...

I moved most of my "I really want to make this NOW!!!" patterns into my favourites list, and my queue is now made up of only the patterns I actually have yarn for - I'm trying to scale back my stash before we move overseas in September.

My best friends has 150 queued up, and refuses to cull, so don't stress too much.

How's this for a Back-From-Holiday Post?

And by holiday, I mean hanging out in my living room playing computer games and dancing like MJ on the Wii.

It was probably way scarier than this movie.
So last night at around 1AM, I decided that I should probably go to bed like normal people. So I started to go through my whole go to bed routine; check the doors to make sure that Andrew locked them, check to make sure that Andrew fed the cats, wash face, brush teeth, pass out. After the face washing and before the teeth brushing, I realized that Lucy wasn't following me around like she usually does at night. I called her, nothing. So I go to check what was going on. The night of terror started there.

I found Lucy in the living room, staring under our piano. (Yes, we have a piano. Cause we're awesome. I'm just proud of owning a piano.) Both of the cats we're staring under the piano too. I'm thinking they probably just lost one of their toys, so I grab a flashlight and look with them. I find their toy mouse, which is extremely realistic. I then distinctly remember thinking "Wow, I don't remember it having shiny eyes." As I stand up, I see that their mouse toy is on the couch.

Reasoning quickly helps me figure out that oh my God, it's a real mouse under the piano.

I ran to the bedroom and woke Andrew up with "There's a mouse under the piano." His sleepy response is ""

Me: Did you hear me? THERE'S A MOUSE IN OUR HOUSE!
Andrew: It's one in the morning, what do you want me to do about it?
Me: I want you to get it and take it outside!
(I would like to point out that the panic is setting in and my replies become successively higher-pitched.)
Andrew: Just come to bed Christine.
Me: How can I sleep when THERE'S A MOUSE UNDER THE PIANO!?!?
After a few minutes of my frantic shrieking, he got up, grabbed a broom stick and a box, and heroically set out to capture the mouse. As I stood at our bedroom door frame, ready to bolt Lord-knows-where and occasionally calling out "Andrew? Do you have it?"

I also called my mother to let her know that we had a mouse in our house. She was unhelpful.

I just want to point out here that I am not scared of mice. They are cute and they make pretty dresses for future-princesses (I wonder if Kate Middleton had seamstress mice?). I also like to visit them in pet stores when I'm feeling sad. However, I now know that I am scared of mice in my house. Terrified is a better word actually.

Apparently Sako had it in her mouth at one point, but then it escaped to under the couch, to under the lazyboy, to behind the washer and dryer, which are right next to the bedroom. It is at this point that Lucy somehow managed to catch it and proceeded to run up to me with it in her mouth.

I screamed as I have never screamed before in my life. Then slammed the door shut and jumped up on the bed. (As if that would help.)

Half an hour after it all began, Andrew admitted defeat when the mouse somehow hid under our kitchen cupboards. I then proceeded to panic even more and cry. Andrew, being a horrible man, laughed everytime I said "there's a mouse in our house" because it "sounded cute". His sleep-fogged brain clearly wasn't comprehending the calamity of the situation.

So there I was, standing on the bed and crying, when Andrew said he was giving up, and that I should just go to bed. After a few minutes of talking me down off the ledge (of the bed) I agreed to brush my teeth (with him  escorting me, in case the mouse came back) and go to bed (but not before I stuffed the bottom of the door with clothes, so the mouse couldn't come in). For over an hour, I laid in bed wide awake, scared that the mouse would come back and chew off chunks of my hair like what happened to Pa in the Little House on the Prairie series. Everytime the wall creaked from the wind, I imagined a horde (horde? What do you call a group of mice?) of mice crawling in our attic.

The adrelaline eventually left my body and I passed out cold.

Having finally mustered the courage to leave the fortress I call my bedroom, I am now typing this on my couch, making sure my feet don't touch the ground and keeping an eye on the pets in case they spot it again (since I don't have my glasses on and I'm too scared to look around for them).

I have no idea what I'll do if I actually see it.

Yes, I realize that I am treating this itty bitty mouse as if it was a zombie, but I have never suggested that my brain is rational.

What it actually looked like.

What it looked like to me last night.

  1. 1. I love you.
    2. I love the Little House on the Prairie reference. Seriously. Gold.
    3. A group of mice is commonly referred to as a family, and also as a horde, a mischief, or simply, and most frequently, a nest of mice.

    Other collective nouns describing mice include a colony and a harvest. The former is self-explanatory; the latter from the fact mice and other rodents nest in the dry stubble of wheat and other cereal plants following the harvest.

    Read more:

    So you were right ^_^
    I hope it didn't eat your hair!

  2. I just did a silent Fist Pump of Triumph. I felel like a won Jepoardy. Although I wish I would have used the term mischief instead, as it seems more fitting.

    Also, as an update, the mouse is still MIA. Because it's dead and rotting somewhere, the cats ate it or it waived its white flag and ran off, I have no idea. Which makes it so much more suspenseful. I hate suspense.

OMG, you can comment!

You should totally comment.

Doona cover for Sofie.

Way back in September 2011 Sofie and I made a bedhead for her bed.  This was to be the first part of the decoration to be soon followed by a doona cover and other soft furnishings.  I can now say more than a year later the task has been completed!  Where does time go?

We made the cover out of vintage sheets I had inherited when my mother in law died back in 2000.  We used an embroidered double sheet on one side and other the other side we joined single sheets with a strip of headboard fabric at the join.

Back when we purchased the fabric (quilting cottons) we purchase coordinating pinks and greens.  Sofie is now a bit less keen on the pink and green so we concentrated on the green with white.  We used a coordinating green and white piece for a runner on her dressers.
I feel better now!

NC for Hire

The best part about running a community on the Ning platform is the endless possibilities for changing and tweaking just about ever aspect of the platform.  This is what has always kept me interested.  This is what is exciting about cultivating a community. You can always make the platform adapt more and more to the culture of your members.  This is what your member expect, after all.  They want to see something new everytime they log in.  It is up to you to provide that.

Tips left for other Ning Creators get buried with time, so I developed a method to resurface those good ones for another round of help. A while back I showed you over 200 Ning tips that I had scraped out of my own profile discussions dating back to 2007.  There was quite a bit of garbage in there so  I have gone through those and picked out around 110 tips which are still relevant and have compiled them into a collection for you.  You can simply learn something new every day from these tips alone.  So, if you think you have done all you can do to make your network the best it can be, i am here to show you that you still have much to do.  Here is the PDF of the link collection for download as well.

If you need help with some aspect of your Ning community or would simply like to redesign or build your network, reach out to me and let's discuss it.  It may be much simpler than you think.   I also have a form that you can fill out for private help here.  Good luck and by all means, be creative!

    Thanks Jamie for your comments. The posts themselves took years. The assembly of this collect took around 30 minutes honestly. I used the tool inside this post to achieve it..

    I too hope it gets back to the way it was..thank you brother
  • What a legend! Thanks Justin. I'm not using Ning these days but check back here a lot to follow the potential revival under new ownership. I hope to return soon once 3.0 development gets going again.

    I remember when creators was blessed with posts like this all the time, be great to see a return to the good old days. Nowhere else have I ever witnessed such a fantastic community of people that are genuinely looking to help others, I can't imagine how many hours all this took you! Be proud sir :-)

New Episodes of "Twin Peaks" coming 2016!

Umbrello October 8, 2014 User blog:Umbrello

I'm sure some people here will be excited to hear that they are planning 9 new episodes of Twin Peaks to air in 2016! I really hope it continues right where the final episode left off. So many awful things happened in that last episode that still bother me. I mean, it was just a disaster. Everyone's lives were ruined except for like 2 or 3 characters. And don't get me started on agent Cooper! I guess I shouldn't have expected a happy ending, but it was like tragedy upon tragedy. I hope they can fix some of my horrible memories, lol.

Paladin Tier 13 and Visual Retrospective

Battleplate of Radiant Glory

Design requested a set to ‘key off the Guardian of Ancient Kings summon,’ and I though the concept of ‘feathered’ plate mail, rendered in silver and gold, would create an aggressive, yet sweeping and powerful silhouette. The previous paladin raid set had a good deal of cloth, but we wanted this set to be entirely platemail.

The key to a strong paladin tier is hitting a balance between martial prowess and elegant grace -- tapping into that classic Arthurian knight archetype.

This is the blue post stating that the quest is broken and will be Hot fixed soon, if you have done the quest in prior years it doesn't show up anymore after the quest Now This Is Ram Racing... Almost

The quest text is particularly amusing this year regarding the repeat of green for 2010. Apparently, the suppliers were twilight cultists and hadn't bothered to update their supply because they were a year too early for their intended end of the world. After all, why change the color if they weren't going to be around anyway? Ha!

Rumor: Senior Titan designer laid off

Blizzard logo
The recent spate of MMO industry layoffs isn't discriminating in terms of company size if the latest rumors are true. We've just been informed that one of Blizzard's golden boys has been served his walking papers, joining hundreds of devs from the likes of NCsoft, GamersFirst, GameForge, and CCP in recent weeks.

John Staats, the senior level designer on Blizzard's secretive Titan project, has been let go, according to our tipster. Staats has been with the company for over a decade and is responsible for some of World of Warcraft's most celebrated content including all the raid dungeons, Blackrock Mountain and Booty Bay, and numerous other instanced dungeons.

Staats was also described by Jeff Kaplan as the "hero of the WoW dev team."

Blizzard's Response: Hey guys, out of respect for their privacy, we don’t discuss individual employees, but the speculation circulating about ‘massive layoffs at Blizzard’ is just a rumor.

Bahska's response: Do you guys know what comes out in about 2 months? I wouldn't believe anything until Blizzard or the guy who according to a "Tipster" (which could have bean anyone) that got fired gives a statement.
If your game was about to go up against a 11 million player, 7 year old game, wouldn't you try to dig some dirt up true or false to try an make the company look bad?
I have nothing against Joystiq or the people from Massively but the above article just sounds fishy to me.
Is it false? I'm not saying that, but the timing of this story is a little odd to say the least.
Like i said i wouldn't believe it until someone who isn't a "Tipster" says something.
