Peak District Climbs - #6 Sir William Hill Road
The two roads I like riding most leaving Hathersage are Abney and this one, Sir William Road. A single lane back-wack that leads up and snakes around Leam farm. Once you've taken the B6001 out of Hathersage and dropped under the bridge you pass the David Mellor Museum and the football pitch to your left. You'll then pass the road to Abney on your right, the next road, the one before you reach Fallcliff Wood is the severe Sir William Hill Road and one that boasts ace views and interesting architecture. It does have it's moments of intense unpleasant gradient...

A Letter from David Hibell
Hi Thom A friend of mine has just forwarded me a link to the shoe on your site. Ian was my uncle & we always used to look forward to him visiting us from his trips with more great stories about his adventures. I have to say that looking at what's on show on your website, it looks exactly as I remember the shoes he used to wear, both on and off the bike. It's really touching to see something like this named after him, he had very exacting standards on his equipment, always Campagnolo Nuovo or super record for...

Local Riders Q&A - Kit Gilham
Kit Gilham has been a racing cyclist for 10 years. His previous teams include Clifton CC, Kinesis UK, Sigmasport Specialized, Herbalife, Metaltek Knights of Old and is currently riding for KTM road-and-trail.com Kit is now living in York with his wife and two children but by his own admission is "still missing living in Sheffield!". As a racing cyclist, which results are you most proud of and why? Winning the mountains jersey in the 2008 Irish Ras. It made me realise I could be competitive at a reasonable level. I spent the whole race constantly checking where the nearest...

Fitness is Specific
Fitness is specific. Someone who is fit for 100m sprinting won't be fit for marathon running. Less obviously, a top classics rider won't be fit for GC contention in a grand tour. Unless they are Eddy Merckx. I thought I understood this concept well enough but I had a rude reminder as to how specific fitness is this weekend when I turned out on the teacake ride for the first time in months. The teacake is Rutland CC's Saturday morning road ride into the Peak District. It's a fast ride by my standards and almost always includes a tear up...

Local Riders Q&A - Simon Keeton
I'm lucky in that I get to ride by bike with Simon Keeton most weekends as part of the Rutland club runs. He was one of the first people I sent these questions to and although it's taken him nearly eight months to complete them, I always knew his answers and photos would be well worth wait. Simon once told me he was like a 'stick-of-rock', in that if you cut him in half he'd be 'Rutland through and through'. He's not ridden for any other club and followed in his father Colin's footsteps by being a stalwart of the...

On Cycling Clubs...
It's hard to find something original to write about in relation to cycling without repeating or re-wording things that have already been said on other blogs and journals. Perhaps paradoxically, I think there is something new to be found in something old; traditional cycling clubs. The reason nobody (or at least nobody I can see) is writing about club cycling is that, despite the current boom in cycling, traditional cycling club membership is said to be down. More people choose to participate instead in the ever growing number of sportifs on offer. With the caveat that I've never done one,...

Local Riders - Mark Walsham

Finally he finished his career with the Linda McCartney Racing Team. During his career Mark won over 200 races including many stages in the classic and now defunct Milk Race. As a racing cyclist, which results are you most proud of and why? Grand Prix of Wales 1987 – 138miles, won alone by almost 3 minutes. Manx International 1984. Around 200 race wins;...

"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone" - Joni Mitchell Cycling used to be the most beautiful sport. Beauty in both its purest sense, the aesthetic, and in the broader sense of the combination of all the qualities of a thing that delight the senses and mind. Think of Gino Bartali, Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil or Eddy Merckx in their knitted jerseys, mid-thigh length shorts, perforated leather shoes with white ankle socks and cotton caps. Racing elegant Italian steel framed bikes equipped with exquisite, well engineered components that epitomised good...

Australians used to pride themselves on having the best cricket governance. Not anymore, now that the board seems bent on casting itself as a marketing organisation that dabbles in the game on the side

Australian cricket under review
Andrew Hilditch
| James Sutherland
England tour of Australia
Cricket boards are like wicketkeepers, most effective when least conspicuous. By this measure Cricket Australia is having a summer every bit as bad as its cricket team. It's one thing to fail during the Ashes, another to fail so abjectly that the whole surrounding structure is called into question. But such has been the riot of arse-covering and buck-passing since the end of the Sydney Test that it almost seems the cricketers themselves will get off the hook.
It started with a disastrous press conference in the immediate aftermath of the fifth Test in which chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch announced himself satisfied that he and his three colleagues had "done a very good job as a selection panel". Worse, his response when criticised for unwarranted self-satisfaction took him to new heights of unintelligibility: "To the extent that someone thinks that we're not disappointed with the result, I'm disappointed those comments were taken that way. The reality is nobody could be more disappointed than the national selection panel. We picked what we thought was a squad capable of winning the Ashes and it wasn't capable of winning the Ashes, so that is disappointing." Hilditch is a lawyer. You have to wonder what his advices read like.
That same day Australian coach Tim Nielsen gave a press conference little less odd. Asked whether any members of his team had improved over the last year, he responded: "It depends on how you measure improvement." Well, Tim, it's not rocket surgery: wickets and runs might be a start. "If we sit back and look at the series results," he added, "it would be easy to say none of us have." But it's far from obvious that the view would vary according to the posture from which it was made. Were Nielsen a coach in any other sport, he would only have avoided the sack by resigning. In fact, thanks to a fortuitous extension of his contract last August, he will be around for the next Ashes.
Chief executive James Sutherland has promised a thoroughgoing review of the season. So far, however, the only parties he has criticised have been Phil Hughes and Michael Clarke for the heinous crime of briefly attending a charity breakfast of the Shane Warne Foundation on Boxing Day. "That was a supreme error of judgement on their part," Sutherland said last week. "The players decided that of their own will. I would be surprised if we see that happening again."
Players attending a breakfast is a "supreme error of judgement"? Come again? It's not like they launched a line of lingerie or read the weather on Sunrise wearing a tutu. Was Sutherland seriously contending that the performances of either Clarke or Hughes were compromised by attending a function raising money for charity? If so, if their games are so sensitive that they can be derailed by having their vegemite in the wrong place, then arguably neither player should be in the side. Sutherland is normally supremely circumspect in his public utterances: three weeks ago, for example, he shrank from criticising Ricky Ponting's obnoxious harangue of Aleem Dar. One would have thought that Clarke's and Hughes' hardly compared as a breach of protocol.
If we're going to start talking judgements, in fact, it's best not to look too closely at Cricket Australia's. Test match watchers this summer would have been forgiven for drawing the impression that CA is now a marketing organisation that dabbles in cricket on the side. The barrage of idiotic distractions, the desperate attempts to look hip and youthful, the overexposure of the fading Doug Bollinger, the involvement of players in customer-friendly rigmarole - hitting balls into the crowd, shaking babies, kissing hands etc - all of them have added up to a sense of a cart so far ahead of the horse that no one has noticed the horse turning into a three-legged, one-eyed camel. Players can just get away with being advertising billboards when they are winning. When they are losing, so are the products. To paraphrase Bjorge Lillelien: "Commonwealth Bank! Vodafone! Betfair! Colonel Sanders! Can you hear me Colonel Sanders? Your boys took one hell of a beating!"
It's CA's marketing services department and its general manager Mike McKenna who have been responsible for the summer's bamboozling cycle of stunts, from projecting Ricky Ponting's face onto Big Ben to the 17-man squad shemozzle at Sydney Harbour Bridge. It's McKenna, too, who whenever he spruiks the Twenty20 Big Bash League suggests that he has spent most of his five years in cricket caressing his BlackBerry rather than absorbing anything about the game. McKenna recently suggested that the objective of the Big Bash League was to "enable us to make a hero out of Shaun Tait or David Warner, two great cricketers currently not playing for Australia [in Test cricket]." If a "supreme error of judgement" has been perpetrated in Australian circles lately, it's been the promotion of such permanently stunted mediocrities as Shaun Tait and David Warner as "great cricketers".
Why is it that when Australian cricket administrators talk these days, they sound like that they have no confidence in their game's enduring fascination or charm, and as though they really wish they were selling something else? | |||
In fact, CA has chosen an unfortunate time to become infatuated with Twenty20, the game's bitch goddess. It will be striving to regenerate its team in the most complex, challenging and longest form of the game, an effort requiring a sense of common purpose and shared mission, even as it carves domestic cricket into a city-based competition involving cricket's shortest and crudest variant. Not the time to be dividing one's energies, one might have thought; not the time to be pandering to parochialism, populism and short-term greed either.
McKenna justifies this by appeal to other sports: "Every other sport makes its money from their league format, whether they are rugby or football, from a club-versus-club competition. That's where the passion is." Hmm. So cricket has had it wrong all these years. That passion we felt for our country, our state, or even just for the game… well, it felt like passion, but it must have been something else - indigestion, perhaps. Where cricket's administrative circles were once a bastion of the idea of their game's difference, specialness, uniqueness, now the obsession is with making cricket look the same as every other sport. Why is it that when Australian cricket administrators talk these days, they sound like that they have no confidence in their game's enduring fascination or charm, and as though they really wish they were selling something else?
So crummy a summer has CA had that some are even questioning its future. Two of the most influential voices in the Australian cricket media, Peter Roebuck in the Age and Malcolm Conn in the Australian, have argued for a total governance makeover, replacing the existing system of a board composed of representatives from the six state associations sitting in long-fixed ratios with something more like the commission that runs the Australian Football League.
The chief executive of the Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA), Paul Marsh, added his voice to that clamour at the weekend, by calling the current model "fundamentally flawed" and demanding a group composed of "captains of industry and other highly qualified people": "You've got a situation where directors of the Cricket Australia board also have to be directors of their respective state boards. This produces an unavoidable conflict of interest, where directors have responsibilities to CA and their state associations."
It's pretty hard to disagree with the proposition that a system basically devised in 1905 is ripe for renewal; that South Australia's votes, for instance, are hopelessly out of proportion with its net contribution to Australian cricket when set against Queensland's two and Tasmania's one; that the Buggins' Turn principle of the chairmanship is a recipe for mediocrity; that a distribution system in which Cricket Australia simply disgorges its profits to the state associations militates against long-term planning; that an organisation with no say over who sits on its board is a weird archaism; that an organisation claiming to reach out to non-Anglo communities and women but without non-Anglo or female members among its directors is a nonsense.
On the other hand, it's not so long since Australians flattered themselves that they had the best cricket governance in the world. CA's board may not be a dream team of commercial and cultural nobs and nabobs, as fantasised of by Conn, Roebuck and Marsh, but the direct connection between it and Australia's under-performance in the Ashes is pretty hard to establish. It's not like Shane Watson can't run between wickets because South Australia has three votes on the CA board, or that Tait is an overhyped non-entity because he's confused by CA's financial distribution model.
Australian cricket has a federal structure because Australia has a federal structure, and because nation and game arrived at their modes of governance at roughly the same time. It is arguable that a key virtue often claimed for it, that it is representative of and in touch with cricket at its lowest levels, has weakened, that market research, onto which CA holds like a drunk to a lamp post, has been substituted for actual direct bottom-up input into the formation of national will. But any substitute for the existing model, even if the personnel were more talented, would almost certainly be less representative. At least with football, members can go to their clubs, vote for whomever and feel as though their view counts. Where is that mechanism in cricket? The best represented constituency in Australian cricket at the moment is the players, as evinced by the loud voice in all matters of Paul Marsh. Mind you, based on current performance, it's far from clear that the players deserve such eminence; it's even arguable that the ACA is part of the problem. Twelve years since the first memorandum of understanding between CA and the ACA, which placed first-class cricket on a full-time professional footing, players have never been wealthier, more cosseted, more protected. Yet over that same period, partly because you can earn a tidy living these days being not very good, standards in the domestic scene are widely regarded as having fallen. Thanks to the IPL, meanwhile, perversely discrepant pay and incentives are turning the Australian playing community into an every-man-for-himself society of haves and have-nots, with neither rhyme nor reason: one hopes, for instance, that the next time Daniel Christian and Steve O'Keefe run into one another during the Aussie summer, $900,000 Christian at least shouts $20,000 O'Keefe a drink. What sort of trade union is it that condones rewards bestowed so unevenly?
As for the rest of us in Australian cricket, a contagious and debilitating cynicism is spreading: there is a feeling that something is amiss, that something is being lost, that the players are overpaid numpties and/or B-list celebrity haircuts, that the administrators are beige bureaucrats and/or shonky spivs, and that those who care about cricket, who have it in their blood, who think it a fine thing and worth fighting for, are being marginalised and excluded, because they are at odds with the fast-buck mentality, because they object to being slotted into demographics of "cricket consumers'".
Such impressions are visceral rather than fair or reasoned - at all levels of the game in this country can be found able, well-motivated people who care a great deal about what they do. But they are impressions too widely felt to be ignored. Relations between Cricket Australia and its players might be tense at the moment, but they face parallel challenges, both having a lot of work to do to restore their respective credibilities.

Font file issue might be caused by a corrupt file set. please see my answer here: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/after-update-in-firefox-26-font-face-broken/
Replacing the font files again seems to have solved the problem
I replaced the font folder with my current font folder and it seems that its working just fine now. So my guess was probably right and your font files were somehow corrupted.
Everyone else experiencing the problem: I would just recommend to go to http://themeforest.net/downloads and re download the theme file and upload them manually via ftp. (or at least the config-templatebuilder folder)
That should fix the issue. You can also wait for the next theme update which should arrive during the next 48 hours
KriesiHey Guys!
Since we did not change any of the font face files, the only explanation I can think of is that they got corrupted somehow. Mind dropping me your ftp credentials in a a reply marked as "private reply" so I can try to upload different set of font files and see if any of them are working?
Did take a little but I was able to find the issue. next theme update will fix it ;)Cheers!
thanks for the notice, I was able to find the problem and fix it ;)
KriesiMarch 7, 2014 at 8:58 am in reply to: Hex field in ColorPicker for Color Secrtion, not showing correctly #233649Hi!
Unfortunately we can do longer support safari 5.1, its the equivalent in market share to ie6 :)
In all other browsers the video seems to run fine. Fallback images will be possible for mobile devices only since they behave completely different than desktop browsersRegards,
KriesiHey Richard!
An update for mobile fallback solutions is coming out soon. other than that I cannot reproduce your issues. Youtube videos work fine for me everywhere else. So if you are having issues please drop as a link so we can check why it may be working for you :)
Also please note that this "fundamental" part of the theme was included with our last major update and although it is true that I usually wait until everything works perfectly fine, due to the complex nature of video I needed users "beta testing" the feature and report problems in order to get this done right :)
So if you are still experiencing the problems after updating to the latest version please open a new thread with a link to your instllation. Thanks and best regards,
KriesiHey guys!
The parallax is deactivated on mobile devices. when you scroll on a mobile device the page stops rendering (you can try that during a slideshow animation for example) therefore the parallax effect would not be smooth at all. there are ways to accomplish the effect but it requires a library like scrollability ( https://github.com/joehewitt/scrollability/blob/master/scrollability.js ) which is basically an 800 line big js file which we would need to include, just for that effect.
Currently I don really think its worth it to include it…
I will however take a look at the image proportions on ipads :)Best regards,
Kriesi- This reply was modified 1 week, 2 days ago by Kriesi.
Hey Mark!
It somehow seems as there is a file missing in the woocommerce installation. maybe something went wrong with your last upgrade. I would recommend to manually download the plugin again from wordpress.org and install the fresh version :)
Best regards,
Your site throws a bunch of javascript errors that are not theme related so one many plugins are causing problems here…
Are you running the latest version of all your plugins?
KriesiFebruary 25, 2014 at 3:55 am in reply to: Full-width Easy Slider – Will not display embedded Youtube VD – but plays Vimeo? #228810Hey!
Please update to the latest theme version, it should solve all problems with youtube :)
I think I found a fix for the problem. it will be included in the next major version (2.6)Cheers!
KriesiFebruary 24, 2014 at 4:27 pm in reply to: Color section video background not working after 2.5.3 update #228531February 24, 2014 at 6:05 am in reply to: Color section video background not working after 2.5.3 update #228348Hey!
I just checked your page source code and it seems your webserver still serves the old js/shortcode.js file, so either you got a caching problem or the update did not replace your javascript files. How exactly did you update?
Would recommend the 2 following steps: first try to delete all cache files generated by your performance plugins or for testing purpose even disable it. if that doesnt help re-download the theme from themeforest and make sure to replace the whole enfold/js/ folder…
Best regards,
KriesiFebruary 24, 2014 at 4:46 am in reply to: Color section video background not working after 2.5.3 update #228336Hey @zahedi !
Just checked the site and it works fine for me, video is playing nicely. which browser and OS are you using?
KriesiSmall Update!
We have just released a bugfix update to the theme which should improve the behavior of the slideshow in firefox. min dgiving it a try?
This css output is basically the fallback solution if the theme is not allowed to read/write the folder and file that Dude mentioned before. Since the backend needs to save the color and styling rules somewhere it tries to create the file: wp-content/uploads/dynamic_avia/enfold.css
If this file is not located on your server then the theme is probably not allowed to read or write. if it is available make sure to set the file permission of both, folder and css file to 755 or 777
Thats pretty much the only advice I can offer without having access to your server…
KriesiHey Guys!
First for the easy one:
@HappyBeagle: please use the youtube.com link format instead of youtu.be links, since the slider currently doesn't support the later. I have already added it to the next version but for now you need to use the link like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvO9ZYgrN_E instead of this http://youtu.be/VvO9ZYgrN_E
Now the tricky one:
@solljul It seems I am able to reproduce the issue so I will see if I can get that to work :)Best regards,
KriesiFebruary 18, 2014 at 9:43 pm in reply to: After updating, images in columns are no longer responsive? #225754Hi!
To be honest I don't see the problem when I try to reproduce your issue and since you are currently running the older version I cant check it on your page either. I was able to reproduce the footer problems which I could fix. Do you see any of the problems you encountered on our live demo page?
All themes are now updated for woocommers 2.1 – if there are any additional issues please let us know :)
Best regards,
I think I found the cause of the problem. should be fixed with version 2.5.2 ;)
KriesiHey Butsie!
I was able to reproduce your problem in safari. mind posting the access data to your ftp server in a private reply here so I can try to upload a working patch. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the issue in the same way on my local installation, so not sure what is happening here…
KriesiHey Richard!
Unfortunately I cant reproduce the issue on my iMac or MBA as well. Works fine in Safari 7.1 for me as well as in Chrome and Firefox on both devices…
iOS is a different beast unfortunately which I am investigating but since it does no longer allow to autoplay videos without user interaction I will probably need to offer a backend option for what exactly should happen with videos there…
Best regards,
2.5.1 was not approved yet but it should be within the next few hours. this should fix the problem. currently there needs to be a slideshow anywhere on the page to make sure the parallax effect gets activated.A dependency I did overlook when creating the demo, since I always had a fullscreen slider at the top of the page :P
Sorry for the confusion :)
Best regards,
KriesiFebruary 12, 2014 at 1:27 am in reply to: After updating, images in columns are no longer responsive? #222449Hey!
thanks for noticing. next update will also include this css snippet as bugfix ;)
Best regards,
mind posting wordpress access data and ftp data in a post that is set as private reply so I can take a look at the backend myself?Best regards,

Toro Co. extended by 2 years the deadline for its goal to elect a new chief executive, according to the company's proxy filed Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Current CEO Kendrick Melrose isn't ready to retire, said a spokesman for Toro, which sells landscaping and outdoor maintenance equipment. "He wants to continue to work and the board is more than satisfied," Stephen Keating, director of investor relations, told Dow Jones Newswires. The deadline extension to Oct. 31, 2005, marks the second extension to the succession plan Toro announced nearly 8 years ago. The company originally planned to name a new CEO in 2000 and had extended the date to this year. In 1995, Toro approved a plan to encourage Mr. Melrose to remain as chairman and CEO until he turned 60 years old, while assuring the timely development and election of his successor as CEO. Mr. Melrose, 62 years old, has been a Toro employee since 1970, a board member since 1981, and chairman and CEO since 1987. Mr. Keating said the company has had some great candidates as the succession plan progressed and promoted two of them to senior positions. Timothy Ford and Michael Hoffman, group vice presidents, are "viable candidates" for CEO, Mr. Keating said. He added that aside from extending the vesting date, the extension of the succession deadline didn't change Mr. Melrose's incentives under the plan. As part of the plan, Toro asked shareholders to approve a one-time grant to Melrose of U.S. $500,000 of restricted stock - but no more than 23,960 shares - and $500,000 of stock performance units. The awards vest based on progress made in achieving the succession plan and are fully vested when he retires. Toro's board approved the extension near the close of fiscal 2002, which ended Oct. 31, Mr. Keating said.

Moving Is Murder : A Mom Zone Mystery
Air Force wife Ellie Avery is an ace at moving. A professional organizer, she plans ahead, packs efficiently, and even color-codes the boxes. But nothing in her bag of tricks could prepare her for the secrets that shadow her new neighborhood...secrets that drive one of her neighbors to murder...
Moving four times in five years has honed Ellie's considerable skills. But unpacking with a newborn daughter, record-breaking heat wave, and the realization that their dream neighborhood is known as Base Housing East is enough to make her turn to chocolate for comfort. She and her husband, Mitch, moved off-base for privacy and peace of mind. Now half of their neighbors are with the 52nd Air Refueling Squadron. Forget privacy.
Forget peace of mind, too. Driving home from her first squadron barbecue, Ellie finds neighborhood environmental activist Cass Vincent dead on the side of the road. The police call it an accident--Cass, fatally allergic, was stung by wasps--but Ellie's not so sure. Cass's husband said she always had an EpiPen in the car. Unfortunately, all Ellie found was a cup with sugary gunk and bits of bees at the bottom. She saw Cass argue violently at the barbecue with Mitch's buddy Jeff about something mysterious...and it just so happens Jeff knows a lot about bee-keeping.
Hoping to clear Drew before the police get around to suspecting him, Ellie starts snooping in earnest. What she finds shocks her--alcoholism, blackmail, betrayal, secret debt....even illicit medical treatment the Air Force would never tolerate. But what's the connection to Cass? When suspicious "accidents" start happening in her own backyard, Ellie realizes she's getting closer to the killer...maybe too close!
Filled with Ellie Avery's Great Tips for an Organized Move!

Excerpt from Moving Is Murder by Sara Rosett
Light bled across the horizon, but it was still night below the towering pines where the figure in black slipped up the driveway toward the slumbering house and slithered under the parked minivan. A small flashlight beam illuminated the engine and its hoses. The beam found the right hose and followed it until it was within reach. Metal glinted in the light. A small prick, not a slash, produced a drop of brake fluid that bubbled out and dripped to the ground. The figure twisted around and repeated the procedure on the other hoses. The person allowed a small smile as tiny puddles formed.
With a backward push, the dark form emerged from under the van, grabbed the knife, and shoved it into a deep pocket before joining the early morning joggers trotting through the still neighborhood.
Nothing had gone wrong--yet. It made me nervous. Something always went wrong when we moved. There was the time our mattress became a sponge in the mover's leaky storage unit and another time our handmade silk rug vanished from our shipment but, so far, our move to Vernon in Eastern Washington State had been uneventful.
I set down a box brimming with crumpled packing paper that threatened to spill over its edge like froth on a cappuccino and watched the moving van lumber away. Its top grazed the leaves of the maple trees that arched over Nineteenth Street, making the street into a leafy tunnel. Sweat trickled down between my shoulder blades.
My fingers itched to get back inside our new house, rip open the butterscotch-colored tape on the boxes, and bring order out of chaos, but inside the heat magnified the smells of fresh paint, floor wax, and dusty cardboard from the boxes that were stacked almost to the coved ceiling.
The heat wasn't as bad outside because there was a breeze, but it was still ninety-nine degrees. Since we didn't have air-conditioning, stepping outside was like moving from inside a heated oven to the fringe of a campfire.
I pushed my damp bangs off my face as a black pickup slowed in front of our house. The driver draped his arm over the open window and called to my husband, "Mitch Avery, is that you?" A bright shoulder patch contrasted with the olive drab of the driver's flight suit. "I didn't know you were moving into Base Housing-East," he continued.
"Steven?" Mitch trotted down the sidewalk. I followed slowly. I'd probably heard him wrong. We were miles from base housing.
Mitch's friend parked his truck on the curb beside a pile of wardrobe boxes that needed to go to the shed since our bedroom closet was roughly the size of a matchbox. Patches on our visitor's chest and upper arms identified him as Captain Steven Givens, a member of the 52nd ARS, or in real language without the acronyms, the 52nd Air Refueling Squadron, Mitch's new squadron. They did the guy equivalent of air kisses: a handshake and a half-hug with slaps on the back.
Mitch introduced Steven.
"This is my wife, Ellie," he said. "And this is my daughter, Olivia." He patted Livvy's head, barely visible in the Baby Bj�rn carrier I had strapped on my chest.
Steven smiled and shook my hand in a firm, eager grip. "This is great that you're moving in. We live on Twentieth." He had thick burnt almond-colored hair cut neatly to regulation above sincere hazel eyes. His smooth complexion made him look young, even though I knew he had to be older than Mitch.
I glanced at Mitch. His smile was relaxed, so apparently he didn't mind that Steven lived one block away.
"So what do you think of Base Housing-East?" Steven asked, gesturing to the empty street.
Mitch and I looked at each other blankly.
"You didn't know half the squadron lives up here?" Steven asked.
"Here? In Vernon?" I asked.
"Right here, on Black Rock Hill. Most everyone lives within a few blocks," Steven said.
So much for our flawless moving day. Mitch and I exchanged glances. This was much worse than damage to our household goods.
"Well, it won't be like living on-base. We're not next door to each other, right?" Mitch asked.
"No, but Joe, our 'C' Flight Commander, and his wife live across the street from you. The McCarters are on Twentieth with us. There're too many to count, probably ten or fifteen couples, now that you're moving in." Steven beamed like this was the best news he could give us. Why hadn't my friend Abby, who had also just moved here, mentioned this?
"At least the squadron commander is still on-base," Mitch joked.
"No, with the remodeling going on in base housing they don't have many houses open. Colonel Briman lives down your street." Mitch looked like he'd been punched in the stomach.
Steven thumped him on the shoulder. "Welcome to the neighborhood." Steven hoisted up a box, spoke around it. "Where do you want this? I can help you out for a few hours. I was coming home to meet Gwen," he glanced at me and explained, "that's my wife, for lunch. But she's tied up at work. She's the manager at Tate's and has a heck of a time getting away from there."
"So the old bachelor finally got hitched?" Mitch seemed to have recovered from Steven's bombshell. A smile tilted up the corners of his mouth as he kidded with Steven.
"Yeah. I gave in." Steven shrugged.
Mitch's smile widened as he transferred his gaze to me, but spoke to Steven. "It's great, isn't it?"
"Sure is. Now, where do you want this box?"
Mitch pointed to the shed. "Over there. Anywhere inside."
I touched Mitch's shoulder to hold him back from following Steven. I kept my voice low. "I can't believe we bought a house in the wrong neighborhood," I said. "I mean, we've moved how many times? Four?"
"In five years," Mitch confirmed. I felt a sigh bubble up inside me. I squashed it. When I married Mitch I knew we'd have to move. After all, he was a pilot in the Air Force. Moves came with the job. We'd talked about our next assignment and I'd pictured somewhere exotic and foreign, Europe or Asia, Germany or Japan. Not Washington State. And certainly not Vernon, Washington, during a heat wave. And my vision of our next assignment definitely hadn't included living next door to everyone else in the squad.
I needed chocolate. I dug into my shorts pocket and pulled out a Hershey Kiss. Chocolate makes even the worst situation look better. It was mushy from the heat, but I managed to peel the foil away and pop it in my mouth. I felt as weak as a wet paper towel.
I lifted Livvy out of the Baby Bj�rn and transferred her to the bouncy chair in the shade of the pines beside Mitch's makeshift table, a wardrobe box, where he'd checked off each box or piece of furniture on our inventory as the movers unloaded it.
I surveyed the quiet street and came back to what was really bothering me. "Four moves and we make a mistake like this."
We'd researched everything. At least, we thought we had. To avoid living with Mitch's coworkers twenty-four hours a day, we'd decided to live off-base. We wanted privacy and Vernon, Washington, the major city thirty miles from Mitch's new assignment, Greenly Air Force Base, seemed like the perfect place to buy our first home.
We picked an arts-and-crafts-style bungalow on Black Rock Hill, a "regeneration area," our realtor, Elsa, had called it. As the original owners retired and moved to sunnier climates, young professionals moved in and updated. Apparently, everyone else from Greenly AFB had picked Black Rock Hill, too.
"This is one of the best neighborhoods in town." Mitch wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his arm. "Great schools, there's a park one block down the road, and it's only thirty minutes from the base."
"I know. I know. You're right," I said. "But it's not our property values I'm worried about. Well," I amended, "I certainly don't want them to go down." My stomach flip-flopped every time I thought of the money we'd plunked down on the house. Buying a house was kind of risky for us. Unlike corporate America, there weren't any moving packages for military folks. Either we sold our house when our three years at Greenly were up or we took the financial hit.
"Buyer's remorse?" Mitch asked. "You look a little sick."
"No. It's the thought of people from the squadron dropping in at any moment or watching us."
Mitch stepped on the paper in a box to flatten it. "At least they can't make us shovel our sidewalk or mow the lawn."
"You're right." I removed the Bj�rn carrier and pulled my sweaty T-shirt away from my back.
"Come on," Mitch said. "It won't be so bad. Everybody's so busy that most people won't even notice us."
"I don't know. Ten or fifteen couples. And the squadron commander," I said, thinking of nosy neighbors checking our driveway for Mitch's car to see if he knocked off work early. "You can park in the empty side of the garage," I offered. "But only until it starts to snow. Then I get it."
"Deal," Mitch said. "You'll have the boxes on the other side of the garage sorted out in a few weeks. How's it going inside?"
"Great, if I want to do some baking. So far I've found the place- mats, cake pans, and measuring spoons and cups, but no plates or silverware. Or glasses."
I'd made sure the boxes we needed with our essential things were the last items loaded on the truck, so they'd be the first off. I hadn't counted on the movers unloading our stuff, storing it for two weeks, and then reloading it on another truck in random order.
Mitch considered the seven empty boxes stacked by the curb. "You know, it's not too late to move again. Almost everything is still in boxes."
I was tempted for a moment, but then I looked at the neighborhood and our house. Bungalows with broad porches and sturdy pillars rested in the shade of towering maple and pine trees. A few houses, like ours, had an English influence. Its steep A-line roof sloped down to honey-colored bricks, leaded-glass windows, and an arched front door. It was a gingerbread cottage out of a fairy tale and I loved it. A warm breeze stirred the trees and lifted the strands of hair off my sweaty neck. "No way. We'll just have to be mildly friendly and keep our distance."
Three hours later, I plodded along, gritty with dried sweat, mentally running down my Day One Moving Checklist while I pushed Livvy's stroller. We'd found sheets, but towels were still a no-show. No sign of plates, silverware, and glasses either.
Livvy let out a half-cry, more a squawk, then fell silent to study the dappled sunlight and shade as it flicked over her stroller canopy. She'd been content most of the day to watch the parade of movers, but half an hour ago her patience ran out. I'd fed, burped, and changed her, but she still squeezed her eyes shut and shrieked. She didn't like walking, humming, or singing either. I used to rely on a quick car ride to soothe her, but her enchantment with the car seat evaporated during our road trip from Southern California to Washington State. That meant I had to resort to the big guns, a walk.
Where else could the towels be? We definitely needed showers tonight. We'd unpacked all the boxes labeled BATHROOM. Maybe LINEN CLOSET?
"Ellie, did you hear me?"
"Sorry. I was wondering where the towels might be packed," I said to my friend Abby, the one person I didn't mind dropping in on me. She was such a good friend I put her to work as soon as she had showed up this afternoon even though her style was a shotgun approach compared with my more methodical way. She tore open the boxes and pulled everything out.
Her curly black hair, pulled back in a ponytail, bounced in time with her steady stride as she motored down the sidewalk. "I'll bring over some of our towels for you. I'm so glad you're finally moving in," she said. "You can run with me. I go every morning." Her white sleeveless shirt and jean cutoffs showed off her tanned, toned arms and legs. She claimed her figure tended toward stockiness, but with her energy and huge smile she looked great to me. I couldn't get into last summer's shorts because of pregnancy weight still hanging around, especially on my tummy and thighs.
"Yeah, right. I can't stand running, remember?" Before my pregnancy I ran a few times with Abby, but it reminded me of how much I hated it. Abby and I met two years ago in one of those prefabricated friendship opportunities that arise in military life. Mitch and Abby's husband, Jeff, were friends at the Air Force Academy. More than once, I had found myself straining to carry on a conversation with another wife over dinner while Mitch and his friend caught up. But Abby and I hit it off right away, except for her love of jogging.
"Why didn't you tell me there were so many people from the squadron in this neighborhood?" I asked.
"I didn't realize until we moved in and started unpacking." Abby bounced along beside me. "It'll be great--just like base housing, only better because these houses are newer."
Before I could argue with this overly optimistic view she pointed to a gray stucco house with black shutters. Blooms of roses, hollyhocks, and mums layered color and texture around the base of the trees and house. "That's Cass and Joe Vincent's house," Abby said. A spade and pruning shears had been tossed on the ground beside a bucket sprouting uprooted weeds and grass. "He's Jeff's flight commander, 'C' Flight. She's into gardening and ecology--the environment and all that. She writes about it." Abby's voice had an edge to it.
