Kiwanis Club of Longboat Key 2008 Citizen of the Year Claudia Fuller died Wednesday. She was 79.
Born Dec. 30, 1929, in Chicago, she met her first husband, Dick Vennell, at Northern Illinois State University in DeKalb, Ill., where both were education majors. She taught elementary school for about a year before Jeanette, the oldest of her three daughters, was born, and then became a stay-at-home mom to her three daughters.
Fuller was active in her Park Ridge, Ill. community, where she raised money with her women's group to build a playground, participated in the local Republican club and chamber of commerce and was known for throwing parties.
In 1970, Fuller's mother settled on Longboat Key after driving across the entire state of Florida looking for the perfect retirement spot. In 1990, Fuller followed her to Longboat Key, where she quickly became involved in local issues.
Her community involvement continued after the death of her husband, Dick, in 1993. In 1994, she accepted an invitation to join the board of the Longboat Key Public Interest Committee.
In 1999, Fuller married her husband, Chuck, who was her neighbor at Buttonwood Harbour.
Fuller served as president of the Republican Club of Longboat Key, secretary of the Code Enforcement Board and chair of the Longboat Key Garden Club's Butterfly Garden.
Fuller is survived by her husband, Chuck, and daughters Jeanette Caproon, Polly Johns and Meg Carlson.

Blocked at every turn
The charity gang that were taking away all our surplus furniture finally came today. Either they're a very popular charity or their lorries break down a lot.* Or both, I suppose. But the situation was made unnecessarily exciting by my penchant for living on cul de sacs. I'd asked the lorry guys to ring me fifteen minutes before they arrived to give me time to get down to the mews and let them in. They rang. Fifteen minutes, they said. I stuffed the hellhounds in their harnesses, shoved the hellterror's breakfast, ready made against this moment, into her crate and her after it, not that the shoving of a hellterror toward foooooood is required, and the hellhounds and I bolted up to Third House to fetch Wolfgang . . . and found the end of the cul de sac comprehensively full of large flatbed lorry delivering pallet after pallet after pallet of . . . I don't know, buildery stuff, with reference to the fact that the row of Tiny But Desirable Cottages that abut the churchyard seem to be in a state of permanent renovation. The one on the end had barely swept up its last skip's worth of brick and cement dust when one of the ones in the middle ripped out all its insides and started over. Arrrgh.
So I spun round the footpath corner toward my driveway and AAAAAAAUGH. I rushed up to the bloke overseeing the latest pallet swaying earthwards on its giant hoist and said in a frantic voice, I HAVE TO GET MY CAR OUT!!!! And he looked at me and said, We'll move, ma'am—perhaps there are advantages to being a little old lady: blokes don't like to see us cry—and they did. Mind you, getting something that carries 1,000,000,000 pallets and a giant hoist doesn't move very fast, and I was a few minutes late . . . but so was the charity lorry. And we were all somewhat bemused by the labyrinth of scaffolding we had to make our way through because they're painting the Big Pink Blot again**.
While the two guys from the charity were wrestling furniture that must come out since it certainly went in I prepared to load up Wolfgang, around the hellhounds, for a quick sprint to the dump, since empty houses extrude junk and a corner you perfectly well know was empty the last time you had a sweep (so to speak) through has six boxes and a broken lamp in it this time. The charity guys eventually solved their problems of practical geometry and went their way two double beds and some miscellaneous doodads the better and the hellhounds and I went ours to the dump . . . where the way was BLOCKED by an even MORE gigantic lorry with an even MORE gigantic hoist, lifting in one of those massive small-country-sized skips that town dumps use. ARRRRRRRRRGH. I hadn't packed Wolfgang at all carefully—for one thing I'm a little cross about the empty-house-extrusion thing—and I didn't think it was going to matter for long that when I opened the passenger door there would be an avalanche . . . or that the hellterror's travelling crate is full of superfluous kitchen gear for the dump shop.
So in this cranky and unalleviated state we went back to the cottage long enough to . . . NO WE DIDN'T. BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER FRELLING LORRY UNLOADING MORE BUILDERY STUFF FOR ANOTHER RENOVATION PROJECT THAT IS GOING ON FOREVER ON THE COTTAGE CUL DE SAC AND SAID LORRY AND ITS LOAD WERE ENTIRELY BLOCKING THE WAY.
Some days you should just stay in bed with a few good books and some knitting.***

* This may be part of their training programme. They offer apprenticeships to street people to learn money-earning skills. I think mechanics is one of the choices. So maybe the trainers sneak into the lorry-fleet garage in dark of night and yank a few wires and drill a few holes and put antifreeze in the petrol tanks to make sure their course will be popular.
** Since it was a four-hour slot I would not have made her wait that long if they'd come at the end instead of the beginning. But the domestic fauna are not having a good time right now because Pav is in bloody [sic] season so she's locked up more than usual and the hellhounds . . . have stopped eating again.^ She's in her second week which is usually when the hellhounds start moaning. I had PLANNED that when the moaning became tedious^^ I'd stash hellhounds in the sitting room or the attic at Third House and leave her to emit hormonal fug in her crate in the dining room, and probably leave her there overnight since they're all in the kitchen at the cottage.^^^ But we are also having the absolute worst season for fleas I've seen in a quarter century so while I'm frantically trying to get it under control there's not as much wandering about the house(s) as normal as a kind of despairing attempt at damage control. I won't use the standard chemicals, they're frelling poisonous, they make some dogs sick—ask me how I know this—and they don't even always frelling work. If I'm going to fail to eradicate fleas I'd rather do it without toxic side-effects. Meanwhile the list of 'natural' flea extermination methods, thanks to in depth on line research, gets longer and longer and longer and longer and more and more time-consuming and expensive# . . . and we still have fleas. So the ways in which the indoor wildlife and their hellgoddess are currently not having a good time are many-splendored. Remind me why I have dogs?##
^ Fifty percent is a good average. I try not to complain if they eat one and a half of their three meals. I start losing the will to live (again) when they stop altogether.
^^ This takes about seven minutes.
^^^ If the hellhounds' sexual appetite rates with their interest level in food this probably explains why I'm getting away with having three entire creatures of two genders in a relatively small space at all.+ But simply putting them in separate rooms stops the moaning++ and while I'm very grateful I'm also surprised since, you know, dogs have a tediously discerning sense of smell and can nail the precise location of that dead hedgehog/rat/squirrel while you're only just registering 'ew—dead thing somewhere in the vicinity.' I'd've thought hormonal fug would be fairly penetrating, if you'll forgive the term.
+ Although Pav is not noticeably more besotted with the hellhounds than she ever is—which is extremely, just by the way—and her interest in FOOOOOOOOD is in no doubt whatsoever.
# The only thing that slows them down from chewing holes in themselves is a neem-oil based salve that costs £20 for a tiny little pot.
## And the NOISE the hellterror makes while she is Slurping Her Inflamed Parts is enough to . . . enough to . . . ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH.
** What's it going to be this go? Maroon? Mint green? Why don't they just leave it pink? I think the co-op admin doesn't have enough to do with its time or its AGMs.
*** KNITTING. ARRRRRRGH. No, I'll tell you about it some other post. . . . ^
^ But Fiona and I did have a lovely yarn adventure yesterday. And I haven't told her this yet but if you count the yarn I bought last night off the internet I did spend more money than she did. The thing is, there's this line . . . never mind which line . . . that I'm quite fond of for reasons of EXTREME AND LURID COLOUR, and this shop had a lot of it, so I fondled a great deal of it and bought some, but was Juiced Up with Desire for More by this tactile experience+ and, while we were sitting around knitting over supper, my mind would keep reverting to the knowledge that several of the more intense colourways were on sale on one of my deplorably regular yarn sites . . . colourways that were in fact not available in the shop we'd been to. I hope you can follow my thought (?) processes here. BECAUSE I had SUPPORTED MY LYS++ I therefore deserved to buy some of what they hadn't had that was on sale. You get that, right? Yes.
++ Local Yarn Shop/Store, for those of you unafflicated by the knitting mania
Backlist, addendum
'Pavlova, drag these boxes of books up the stairs for Mommy, please.'
::falls down laughing:: Now why didn't I think of that? She's got both the legs sprung of extra-supreme-alloy and the jaws of death.* We could have done it together. It could have been a bonding experience.**
However. It wasn't. And at least this means there are no teeth marks on the books. And yes, I finished carrying the last monster boxes upstairs yesterday although I admit I unpacked the three heaviest*** and took them up in armfuls.
ME is a weird disease. I have no idea why I was allowed to heave a hundred book boxes† around without serious repercussions. Because—so far anyway—there have been no repercussions.†† I am inevitably reasonably fit because of all the frelling hurtling I do although on bad days it tends to be more like dawdling but the ME means that I have to assume I have No Stamina Whatsoever because I frequently don't, often with diabolical suddenness, especially when we're a couple of miles from where we left Wolfgang. You live like this for fourteen years and you start thinking of yourself as rather flimsy. I feel a bit like I've had an unexpected body transplant†††. No doubt the old familiar rickety one will be returned soon. And then I'll fall over.
This isn't the first time the ME has let me cope with something that I REALLY NEED TO COPE WITH‡—moving day itself, for example, when I was a lot thinner on the ground generally than I appear to be at the moment—but it seems to me unlikely that I'm really going to get away with this. Presumably one day soon, when I'm planting autumn pansies, say, or putting endless dog bedding into the washing machine or taking endless dog bedding out of the washing machine . . . I will suddenly need to sit down for thirty-six hours. Never mind. The backlist is in the attic. ‡‡
* * *
* Someone in the forum said, after I posted the photos of Pav on her birthday, that she found the Jaws of Death photo a little anxious-making. I HAD TO WORK REALLY HARD TO GET A JAWS OF DEATH PHOTO AT ALL. Pav is not naturally a Jaws of Death kind of dog. She just happens to be a bull terrier and the mythology around them is very jaws-of-death-y. If you push the lips of any dog back you get pretty much the same view: short front teeth framed with fangs. Pav is mouthy—if you play with her you'll probably find yourself with your hand in her mouth at some point^—but she hasn't bitten me since she was an infant and hadn't quite got it that you can't chew on humans the way you can your littermates. She was actually easier to get this point across to than the hellhounds had been because she'd been socialised very very very well before she came to me. She may yet grow out of being mouthy. Chaos, the eternal puppy, was mouthy for years.
^ I think I've also told you she's a licker and a nibbler. The licking is fine, she's not at all drooly+, but the nibbling is a little exciting since she favours places where the skin is thin, like necks and the insides of elbows.
+ Except in her water bowl. Ew. Which I have to change about four times a day. She has the most extraordinary drinking style. She'll stand there going SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP for, like, minutes, and when she comes away the water level hasn't gone down at all, there's just this—ew—churned up FOAM on the top. Good thing she gets a lot of wet food or she might die of not actually swallowing any of the water that passes through her mouth.
** The hellhounds would have opened one eye, gone, Eh?, and closed the eye again.^ The hellhounds had originally been Rather Interested in the new Alp in the garden . . . PEE ON THAT, GUYS, AND YOU WILL NOT LIVE TO PEE AGAIN. One of the things about having a proper garden is having your hellmob in it but things can get a little out of control when you're also in the centre of town. When we got back from the second and FINAL book box run on Monday I let Pav out of Wolfgang because that's what you do, you turn off the engine and let the critter(s) out but because of the size of Atlas' trailer the gate was still open. Which Pav shot through and disappeared . . . while I was letting the hellhounds out of the house and discouraging their interest in the Alp. I heard Atlas calling her, thought OH GHASTLY AWFUL END OF THE UNIVERSE TYPE THINGS, ran out into the street and called her . . . and she came. Noble Pav.
*** One of encyclopaedias, and no I haven't found the missing box yet^, one of MERLIN DREAMS and one of the illustrated ROSE DAUGHTER. Any one of these three weighed nearly as much as rather-large-box-shaped Wolfgang.
^ It would be encyclopaedias, you know? If it were one of my gazillion boxes of out of print editions of books I've forgotten writing I would never have noticed. In fact, I may be missing a few boxes of my gazillions of out of print editions of books I've forgotten writing and haven't noticed.
† And I did break a hundred. I'd forgotten about the half dozen I left in Peter's office, two of which because they were labelled 'files' and 'mss', and the others because he still has some empty bookshelves in there. But I didn't carry these upstairs.
Also if you count the twenty or so boxes of his backlist from Peter's office and bedroom at the mews that Nina and Ignatius packed and brought over THAT'S EVEN MORE BOXES OF BACKLIST TOWARD A TERRIFYING TOTAL.^
^ I notice that Peter has more copies of his recent books. This may just be the exigencies of publishing but I suspect there may be some malign influence from his second wife. THEY'RE OFFERING YOU MORE COPIES? TAKE THEM. SOMETHING IS GOING OUT OF PRINT AND THEY'LL LET YOU HAVE 1,000,000,000 COPIES FOR 7P PER? TAKE THEM. Let it be recorded that I have suffered for my sins.
†† Although the arnica will have helped. Arnica the Wonder Drug.
††† I wish they'd given me more hair and fewer wrinkles. Ah well, if they had, it would be harder giving this body back.
‡ I wonder a bit about late-onset ME. I don't know that many other people who have had it long-term^ but my vague unreliable impression is that the younger you are the bigger and more unpredictable a rat bastard it is. My first eighteen months of it were entirely horrible but it mostly only knocks me over badly any more when I haven't been behaving like a person who knows very well she has ME and had better stop with the shot-putting and the mixed martial arts. And it will usually let me pull myself together if it's urgent, although it may make me pay and pay and pay and pay and pay for it afterward.
^ I'm also not convinced that people who get over it really had ME, although since I also believe it's a continuum or a syndrome and not a single disease, they may just be at the far end of the range. That or it'll be back when they least expect it. LIE DOWN NOW. BECAUSE I SAID SO.

Pictures? I would love to see pictures of the books. Even books in boxes. I'm just so curious to see what 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 books looks like. You know, in a house, or rather, an attic.
Hmm. I was looking the attic with this request in mind today. I'm not sure it's really all that obviously impressive. I've done my BEST to wedge things around the edges—and there's a chimney in the way—and it's a long thin attic with peculiar corners, see previous blog on the subject of the ceiling.^ I'll have a go at photographing the chief ramparts and see if I can make them look amusing.
^ I only hit my head ONCE. Of course now that the dramatic bit is over with I'll forget to be careful again. Ow.
The horror, the horror
The attic. Moan. The attic. At Third House. Moooooan. The attic . . . moan. August is almost gone and some time in September I have to bring the frelling backlist home from the last storage unit. All forty-seven gazillion boxes of it. And you can already hardly edge around* all the boxes of files** and of books*** that won't fit† either downstairs or at the cottage†† Moan.
A few years ago I needed a plumber for my small bathroom. I warned the man at the other end of the phone line, "It's a very small space." He answered cheerfully, "I'll send a very small plumber." She was. And she fixed it. But she's the only one I've ever seen.
For some reason, probably because I am still suffering post-house-move brain-blastedness†††, the reference to size makes me think of the stalwart young men who moved my piano, only one of the three of whom looked at all as if he might lift heavy things for a living. I was also thinking of Plumbers I Have Known folding themselves up into spaces much too small for them . . . and the tendency among folded-up plumbers to demonstrate builder's crack to an extreme degree.
All three of my piano movers were wearing the kind of low-slung trouserage prone to builder's-crackage. And as they all three bent down the first time to examine the basis of the situation I was treated to . . . a vast triple frontage‡ of LURID COLOURED BOXER SHORTS. I was delighted. I also nearly burst out laughing.
These blogs are sooooo making me not want to renovate our house, even though it's desperately needed…
Oh come on. It's romantic having to put buckets out for the drips, and to lie snuggled up in bed listening to the mice playing polo in the walls, and to have tadpoles coming in through the kitchen tap (it's only for a month or two in the spring, after all), and floorboards so aggressively wavy and unpredictable that if you've had a beer in the last twenty-four hours you'd better sleep in the barn (under a tarpaulin). Where's your sense of ADVENTURE?

. . . As it's a good and very efficient furnace, replacing it never came up: a good thing, as a new furnace would have been even spendier. I feel your pain.
Yes. One of the—or rather the—clinching argument of Shiny New Plumber about replacing my current boiler is that by the time I bought the parts for the old one I'd be halfway to the new one . . . AND the old one is a piece of crap. Since I only have Shiny New Plumber at all kind of far out on a limb of semi-unknown recommendations—one would rather hire a new plumber because one's best friend has used him for twenty years and her entire family loves him including the goldfish, whom he replumbed on an emergency basis one Sunday afternoon when the fishtank exploded—I did look up the boiler he's recommending and it's number one by about twenty points in the WHICH? rating which is a good sign. An even better sign will be if he knows how to put it in. Mind you according to his web site he's about third generation in a large family of plumbers . . . although he told me he is failing to interest his thirteen-year-old daughter in carrying on the family tradition.
And, speaking of small, and the state of the cottage‡‡, I hope the extra body he brings to assist him is svelte and bendy. A thirteen-year-old daughter would be perfect.
But I really want my hot water.
Me too, big time, and so I NEVER TALK ABOUT IT because I don't want to give the hot water heater any ideas, like thinking it's reached retirement age. And I don't know where that sentence came from; I never wrote it.
No, no, of course not, if your hot water heater comes round for confirmation I will stoutly deny everything. My current object has only to last two more baths. Please God and St Mermaid-of-the-Flowing-Waters. I've had the uneasy sensation that it's been getting a little whimsical since Shiny New Plumber condemned it.
Hot water is one of the critical components of civilisation, in my opinion.
Oof. At least you got a very nice individual plumber?
Well he's certainly very jolly‡‡‡. He also underwrites a seven-year guarantee on the new diamond-encrusted family member, which is popular.
Wait, stuck on the lavender comment. Was the lady referring to her houseplant as her pet, is there really a dog breed nicknamed lavender, or was she referring to the unmentionably enthusiastic "L" word dogs?
Not exactly. She was having a little trouble with the English language and maybe Labradors are called lavenders in her mother tongue. I'm not sure if she was doing that thing of using the word that almost sounds right and assuming it would do, or whether her accent was so strong that 'Labrador' was coming out 'lavender'. Whatever.
Speaking of which, I may have been losing respect for them before reading the blog because everyone around here has them (or chihuahuas or pit bulls, or mixes of all three), but your anecdotes certainly haven't helped their case.
Labradors are slime. Except, occasionally, when they aren't. There are two entirely different strains of them any more, at least in England: the proper old working dog style, and there's a young bitch of this variety who lives around the corner who is a complete sweetie and I'm happy to see her coming, and the modern SUV-shaped ugly stupid monster, owned by ugly stupid people who let it wreck your temper as well as your gentle, bewildered hellhounds', and to crap all over the churchyard and possibly your driveway. I FRELLING WELL HATE LABRADORS. Except, occasionally, when I don't. As above.
Chihuahuas are not a plague around here. Pit bulls are, but pit bulls, or their ilk, are a plague pretty much everywhere. It's what gets popular, you know? Popular is the death knell for anything nice.
And on that cheerful note . . .

* Especially not without hitting your head on one of those where-did-that-come-from interesting ceiling angles.
** Including things like the original manuscript of BEAUTY. Eeeeeep. Which I rediscover every few years. I think it gets more startling every time. Also the original, equally smudgy, cut-and-pasted, liberally white-outed^ SWORD and HERO. As I recall OUTLAWS is the worst in this regard. I still have grisly flashbacks of kneeling on the floor in my little house in Maine, cutting up chapters and paragraphs and trying to tape them together again before I forget what I'm doing, and feverishly scrawling cryptic bridges in the margins, hoping I'll be able to smooth them out later. Or possibly OUTLAWS was the worst. I used to burn a lot of mss in my early typewriter days. Not so much now: everything becomes second sheets for the printer.^^ Except occasionally when I revert and do my cutting and pasting in hard copy. Occasionally this is therapeutic.
And then I burn them. Sometimes. Sometimes I just scream and tear them up. And stomp on them.
^ Have you seen that there are typewriter aps for your iPad? WHYYYYYYY?
^^ It's surprisingly confusing having your own words on the back of your freshly printed out draft pages. Even when you know that's an old story and you're working on a new story.
*** Books? Books? Never say. I amaze myself.
† My thirty-six million horse books, fiction and nonfiction. My nineteen million nonfiction critters of the world books, excluding horses, including a lot of guidebooks and wild critter rescue and management books, the majority being North American, including dozens of standard Audubon and Peterson field guides and so on, but by no means exclusively these—the NA collection expanded exponentially when I was figuring out DRAGONHAVEN and some of these are very small press/audience and peculiar. The Australian critter books go with the general Australian collection—which considering I've only ever spent about five weeks there total is pretty impressive. But Australia is, you know, mad, as well as instantly irresistible. There's nothing else anything like it.^ Including all that let's-evolve-in-interesting-off-the-wall-ways on a huge freaky water-bound continent fauna, and flora to go with 'em. WHEEEEEEE. Also the Aboriginal mythology—that is, what the white invaders managed to write down about it—is fascinating. And then there's my British guidebook collection. Siiiiiigh. I adore guidebooks. I buy them everywhere I go.^^ And I have the impassable attic to prove it. AND PETER'S AND MY BACKLIST STILL HAS TO GO UP THERE.
^ Except maybe New Zealand or Tasmania in a distant-cousin way but I haven't been to either of these.
^^ Sometimes I buy the same one several times. Mottisfont, for example. I must have three or four. Every time the National Trust trots out a new edition—which is to say there are three more paragraphs of the foreword to the foreword to the foreword about what they've been doing since the last edition—I buy it again. Hey, sometimes there are new rose photos.
†† I was hacking through the between-covers verbiage at the cottage today and thinking gloomily of the 1,000,000,000 fresh, new books I have on various wish lists at various on line emporia, and I know I will eventually add far more of these to my shopping basket(s) than I will delete, which does not address the books bought by opening a three-dimensional door, with or without three-dimensional bell, crossing a three-dimensional threshold, and browsing three-dimensional books on 3D shelves and tables, overseen by a very realistic-ly dimensional clerk who may or may not have a clue about books^ but can run a credit card machine.
^ It fascinates me that in the increasingly, or do I mean decreasingly, tiny beleaguered cult world of the high street bookstore, you do get clerks who seem to be there only because the gift shop didn't have a grunt-level staff opening.

‡‡ You are reading the footnotes in order, aren't you?
‡‡‡ He also, in the grand British working-man tradition, calls me 'luv'. I know I'm supposed to object to this, but it always makes me fall down laughing. Increasingly so as they get younger and younger as I get older and older. I know I'm twice his age because he mentioned being thirty-two.^
^ Which means, to have a thirteen-year-old daughter, he started young.
Oh hi blog
The last three days I've said TONIGHT I AM GOING TO BLOG. And then by evening all my atoms have rolled over to the other side of the room again. This house move business is not just a bear, it's a large herd of hairy mammoths on the rampage. Arrrgh. And then of course, ducking tusks and coughing in the churned up dust and deafened by all the trumpeting, I get distracted by details like I NEED A WASTEBASKET FOR MY UPSTAIRS LOO. Third House is significantly smaller than the mews so even having unloaded an entire lorry convoy of STUFF* we're still kind of wedged in, and while technically the attic is my domain, in practise it's full of STUUUUUUUUUFFFF** so I've got a little obsessive about . . . my half-loo, that is an entire toilet but nothing else but a sink, which is MINE, since no sane person is going to climb those stairs and risk permanent head injury from all the low ceiling angles*** when there's a perfectly good whole bath which, furthermore, you can stand up in ALL of, downstairs.
But there is a problem. Long-time blog readers may remember that I had Fun with Tiles when I put in the attic—which involved ripping the doodah out of a lot of the one full bathroom due to structural irregularities, so while I was at it I replaced the bath and put in some fancy tiles. The fancy tiles I chose for the brand-new upstairs loo, while I adore them, happen to be cream, grey, gold and red. The wastebasket from the half loo at the mews is pink. Hot pink. This clearly will not do. At the moment there's a blue and lavender wastebasket because one MUST have somewhere to throw used tissues and dental floss† but it gives me the fantods every time I go in there. Of such things are obsessions made, at least if you're at the extreme end of the standard human vision bias with lashings of OCD.
You'd think, in three, even small, houses full of rooms with wastebaskets, there would be one, somewhere, that I could swap out. You'd be wrong.†† They're all pink (!), rust or green. And one blue and lavender. Arrrgh. You can find anything on line, right? Again wrong. You can't find a non-boring, preferably floral-ish††† red based wastebasket . . . at least not if you don't want to pay hundreds of pounds. Did you know you could pay hundreds of pounds on a wastebasket? Are you going to throw used tissues and dental floss‡ in something you paid HUNDREDS OF POUNDS FOR? Not me. But then I'm not going to spend the hundreds of pounds on a functionless wastebasket-shaped objet d'art either. Where was a frelling Redoute-print plastic bin when I wanted one?‡‡
I was in DESPAIR. I was wondering if I was going to be forced to buy one of those little basketry bins, which are fine, I guess, but not if what you want is red and decorative and worthy of those tiles. ‡‡‡
And then as a final throw I googled William Morris. Sigh. I have an awful lot of cheap knock-off William Morris because for those of us florally-fixated that's often all there frelling is.§ AND LO. One of the chief miscreants . . . I mean purveyors of housewares targeted at the people who want the have-nothing-in-your-house-you-do-not-know-to-be-useful-or-believe-to-be-beautiful§§ look without having to work at it or stray out of their comfort zone . . . have brought out a new line: Morris' strawberry thief . . . IN RED.§§§ INCLUDING WASTEBASKETS.
It's on its way. Maybe now I'll get some sleep.#
* * *
* Including more books than I can bear to estimate. Estate-wagon-full after estate-wagon-full after estate-wagon-full I can tell you because most of them got hauled away during those weeks the ME was stopping me driving, and whose silent uncomplaining removal is yet another star in the heavenly crowns of Nina and Ignatius, who are the ones with the estate wagon.
My poor cottage is nonetheless pretty well impassable with stuff . . . including dangerously towering piles of books.^ Sigh. The kitchen, being the hellpack's domain, only has books on shelves. It's the only room in the house that does.^^ One of these days there's going to be an almighty roar as all the piles on the stairs domino themselves to the foot . . . and/or one morning [sic] I'm not going to be able to get out of bed when all the piles in the bedroom and the upstairs hall—and the bathroom and the ladder-stair to the attic—get caught in a crosswind, which till the weather turns cold and I start closing windows is unpleasantly likely.
^ Despite all the estate-wagon-fulls. Nina did tell me that two of the (I think) four Oxfam book shops they were frequenting began to blanch when they saw them coming.
^^ Yes. Including the bathroom. And they can't stay for long since between laundry drying on the overhead airer and a HOT bath in which to fall asleep+ every night it's pretty steamy in there kind of a lot of the time.
+ Which means I'm getting at least a little sleep.
** And some time before the end of September I have to have it forced back into corners, against walls, in the under-eaves crawl spaces, under the gigantic but conveniently long thin table from the old house's kitchen^ and my old small-double bed from Maine . . .so I can bring the frelling backlist home^^ after which influx I will probably only be able to get to the top of the attic stairs and stop, and the wastebasket in the then-unapproachable loo will become irrelevant.
^ Which is worth about £2.57 in real-world terms BUT I AM NOT GIVING IT UP.+
+ Hey. It's useful in the circs. Which are of a long low wall. And if you're sleeping in the bed, shoved up against one narrow attic end, try not to sit up suddenly.
^^ We cleared out the big storage unit on Moving Day. But I kept the little unit with the BOXES OF BOOKS in it to give us breathing and manoeuvring space.
*** The one dormer window, while I'm glad to have it, also confuses the issue. If you're in a simple triangular attic where the ceiling is a long narrow steeply pitched tunnel you know where you are. I had to go and get fancy with a nice dormer window. And a half loo. Which means you never know when the ceiling is going to leap out and whack you.
† And possibly bloody bandages. I don't deal with STRESSSSSSS all that well and at the moment one of the manifestations is that I keep nicking myself when I'm cutting up chicken for the hellhounds possibly due to the prospect, hanging gibbering fantasmagorically in front of me, of their not eating it anyway. I took a tiny—TINY—slip of skin off the top of my thumb a few nights ago and it bled and bled and bled and BLED AND BLED AND BLED and I thought the cops would probably arrest me because I had clearly murdered someone even if they couldn't find the body. I finally ended up with this giant egg-sized lump of every clean, absorbent, discardable bandage-like substance in the house first-aid-taped on the end of my thumb—what Penelope calls a Tom and Jerry bandage, and yes, I looked like a cartoon character who'd just hit her thumb with a hammer. Fortunately it was my left thumb so I could still type.
†† Or you may be normal and not overly preoccupied with the colour-coding of wastebaskets.
††† Yes, all right, I have roses on the brain, but the tiles are stylised flower-ish.
‡ And hundreds of bloody bandages after you murder that really annoying neighbour.
‡‡ These would be perfect, for example, on the side of a nice small sturdy bathroom-sized bin.
The Royal Horticultural Society has occasional spasms into home decoration. You can usually get tea towels but everything else is subject to the whim of . . . I don't know who, but whoever they are, they need counselling. They were offering (pink) Redoute print 'teabag tidies' as they're generally called a few years ago—which I use to put my large strainer of loose tea in after it's steeped my morning cuppa to an opaque black—these lasted a season and then ran away and have never been seen again.^ On the very off chance the RHS was currently having a bin spasm I typed 'wastebasket' in the search box on the gift shop site. I promptly received the information that there were no results for 'wastebasket' but maybe I'd be interested in 'russetbarked'? Snork.^^
^ Fortunately I bought three.
^^ in 'Broadleaved Evergreens for Temperate Climates'. Not today, thanks.
§ Don't speak to me of Cath Kidston. My everyday knapsack is one of hers—with roses all over it—and I have the denim-blue pullover from a year or two ago with the roses on the front that sold out first go in about TWO SECONDS^ and I got one on reorder fast.
^ Because there are a lot of us pathetic retro types around, which is why Cath Kidston is now worth £1,000,000,000,000 and as multi-gazillion dollar/pound success stories go I like this one better than most, especially the part about how she was repeatedly laughed out of town when she was first trying to sell this girlie vintage-style stuff.
But she doesn't have wastebaskets. Of course I checked.
§§ I've always liked that believe. You're still out there in the cold making up your own minds, guys.
§§§ Totally inauthentic, as well as a total retread, although not recently that I've seen. Never mind.
# Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Oh well.
Wolfgang my hero
One of the nasty little surprises awaiting me at Third House* was the FRELLING BOXES OF OLD PAPER FILES. Crushed frelling boxes, just by the way, since they'd got mixed up with the backlist. But when Atlas was loading up his trailer to take backlist to the storage unit last autumn I asked him to set anything that wasn't book boxes aside. And then life happened and the last few months Atlas has seen more of Third House than I have.**
It's quite amazing how much STUFF is left after you've emptied a house. Curtains. Rolled up rugs. Bits of china you never liked and hadn't decided what to do with. BOOKS THAT MUST BE SORTED. It's also quite amazing how many old files I seem to have. Speaking of things that need sorting.
Twenty or thirty years ago when I was buying filing cabinets in Maine you could get black ones. Or grey ones. Or black. Or grey. Or . . . I bought black. But I did not love them, and I left them behind because standard British paper is longer than standard American paper and it wasn't going to fit in standard American filing cabinets. I had a gorgeous old wooden filing cabinet at the old house, its only drawbacks being that it took ten strong men and a team of eight Shire horses to move it and that the drawers kept falling off their rails. It then declined to fit through the door at Third House. MORE ARRRGH. So I sold it, and put the files in cardboard boxes. Which I was going to deal with. Later.
Well. It's later. And I have to WEDGE everything I had sprawled all over Third House into the attic because the ground floor is now Peter's.***
I went on line. I searched for two-drawer filing cabinets, because they have to fit under the eaves that make the attic a living space for people who like crawling around on their hands and knees. COLOURED FILING CABINETS. COLOURED FILING CABINETS. Be still my heart. So I bought a PINK one. Of course I bought a pink one. Two pink ones is so obvious however so I bought a yellow one.† Yaaay.
Except that the on line description says 'self assembly'. Golly, I thought, nuts and bolts. But I have my secret weapon, Atlas, so, fine. I ordered. And I had them delivered to the cottage because of the whole WHAT DO YOU MEAN DELIVER TO AN ADDRESS NOT ATTACHED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD AND OF COURSE WE AREN'T GOING TO TELL YOU WHEN WE'RE ARRIVING SO YOU CAN GET UP THERE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY. WHICH WE WON'T LET YOU HAVE ANYWAY BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE ADDRESS ATTACHED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD thing.
I don't know what the self-assembly part is but two filing cabinets arrived today. I looked at them and my heart sank. I wasn't at all sure even one of them lying on its side would fit in Wolfgang's boot.
Wolfgang, my hero.
* * *
* That's aside from the fact that we're going to have to RIP OUT BOOKSHELVES to get Peter's desk into his office. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE. What is wrong with it is that the second, smaller bedroom is now a staircase with a little angular wodge of semi-usable space around it. Arrrgh. Building regs^ ARRRRRRRGH. And Peter is so inconvenient as to have a LARGE desk. Why can't he just balance his laptop on his knee? Feh. Half a wall of bookshelves has to go. Misery.
^ For anyone who wasn't reading the blog then: I wanted to put a WEIGHT BEARING FLOOR in the attic for all the BACKLIST. As soon as you put in a weight-bearing floor the Building Regulation Goons are all over you. A weight-bearing floor means living space, never mind you can't stand up in it. Or that it's going to be full of boxes of books. Living space means you have to have a proper staircase. Good bye, second bedroom.
** Mowing the grass, propping up the frelling FRELLING boundary fence so next door's evil little ratbag terrier doesn't keep getting through and crapping all over my garden,^ taking over the garden shed with boy tools.
^ Evil little spiky-haired ratbag terriers are an entirely different, monumentally inferior order of being from, you know, bull coughcoughcough terriers.
*** This happens to involve carrying all 1,098 crushed boxes of files up the stairs to the attic again.
† I probably need three or four. I'll worry about that LATER.

U-joint question
Hey yall I have a 2010 regular cab 4 banger 4x4 and it only has 51,000 miles on it and I replaced a u-joint about 6 months ago on it and last friday another one went out and I was just wondering if anybody else was having problems with u-joints going out like that it just seems a little early to have two u-joints go out like that. I dont drive it hard or anything like that it has had an easy life only off road 3 or 4 times in a grassy field after some rain. Just wanted to see if anybody else was having this problem. Thanks yall
Did you ever grease them?
I have beat the piss out of my 08 for 80k and mine are just now getting a 'little' slop. I over-grease mine regularly to keep them clean.
Replace them all with these. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MOG-270/ Rock auto has them for $15. Take care of them and you'll never have an issue again. |
42k on my 2010 never had an issue grease them every 5k miles or before.

A plane crash Friday near the village of Red Devil killed two men landing on a private airstrip, Alaska State Troopers said.
The red and white Piper Super Cub, registered to pilot Richard Wilmarth, was landing close to the Holitna River when it crashed for reasons so far unknown, according to troopers. Wilmarth, 42, and passenger Kenneth Mellick, 45, both died, troopers said.
Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board were said to be looking into the cause of the crash.
Mellick, a resident of Sleetmute, was the village's tribal administrator and an Alaska Power Association board member.
The bodies of Wilmarth and Mellick will be flown to Anchorage for an autopsy, troopers said.

We had two cake recipes that were bases for ten different cake flavors. My wife did all the recipe R&D and baking, I just find it's easier to use "we" as a convention instead of explaining the division of labor every time I post.
Most of the differentiation was in the combinations of cake with frosting flavors, which also followed the same formula (a few frosting bases that could be easily modified to create a variety of flavors).

Nazmi Ziya Güran
This article may be expanded with text translated from the corresponding article in the Turkish Wikipedia. (August 2011)
Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
Nazmi Ziya Güran (1881–1937) was a Turkish impressionist painter.
He was born in Horhor district in Aksaray, Istanbul, Ottoman Empire. He graduated in 1901 from the School of Political Science, where he had enrolled due to his father's opposition to his ambition to be an artist. With the death of his father in that same year, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts Istanbul, where he studied with Warnia and Valeri.
Preferring to paint from nature, Nazmi Ziya Güran rebelled against the rules of academic art. The visit of the French post-Impressionist painter Paul Signac to Istanbul in 1905 provided him with fresh inspiration. His teacher Warnia disapproved of the direction his painting was taking, and Güran was denied a diploma in 1907, although he received it the following year.
He went to Paris, studying briefly at the Académie Julian and also with Fernand Cormon, with whom Toulouse-Lautrec had studied years earlier. Güran had a successful exhibition in 1912, before traveling to Germany and Austria in 1913. On his return to Turkey he served as both administrator and teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts, in addition to running a private studio. In a manner similar to Claude Monet, he was known to paint the same subject at different times of day in order to study the changing light.
Güran died in Istanbul.

ASBI - Sidney Lanier Bridge page summer 99'
Project News
Bridge focus is on cables - Hidden work is now showing up 9-2-02
September 18, 1999 News Story
PROJECT OVERVIEW The Sidney Lanier Bridge is a cable-stayed cast in place place project in the port city of Brunswick, Georgia. The main span of the Sidney Lanier Bridge is now under construction by Recchi-GLF, a joint venture. They are building this part of the bridge for $65,475,130. It was designed by DRC Consultants in New York City (later merged with T.Y. Lin of San Francisco). The main span contract includes part of the approach spans. The towers are 486 feet tall from the top of the footing to the top of the tower. The uprights are joined in two places by crossties, one below the cables and the other below the roadway. The tower is hollow and an elevator will be installed to go up to the upper crosstie. Ladders will take inspectors above the crosstie for access to the anchorages for the cable stays. Ladders will also extend from the roadway down to the bottom of the towers. The deck is continuous from one anchor pier to the other. The anchor pier holds the deck in place. The anchor pier must be strong enough to support the deck, but also flexible enough to accommodate the large deflections that arise as the length of the deck changes due to temperature shifts. The deck is supported by the cables but must be strong enough to carry traffic loads across the width of the bridge to the cables. It must also carry the enormous compression force that results from the angle of the cable stays The form travelers, originally fabricated in Europe, were assembled on the island below, one on the south side and one on the north side (shown here). When they begin operations each traveler will move out from the tower one segment at a time.The primary purpose of the form traveler is to hold the wet concrete until it hardens into the proper shape. The form must then be stripped from the hardened concrete. To achieve this all of the surfaces of the form are able to move. PROJECT UPDATE The bridge is near completion. It should be opened by the end of 2002. To learn lots about this bridge click below for any subject about the bridge (GDOT)

Durban University of Technology
Durban University of Technology | |
Motto | A preferred university for developing leadership in technology and productive citizenship. |
Established | 2002 |
Type | Public University of Technology |
Students | 23000 |
Location | Durban & Pietermaritzburg, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa |
Website | http://www.dut.ac.za/ |
The Durban University of Technology (DUT) is a University of Technology in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It was formed in 2002 by the merger of Technikon Natal and ML Sultan Technikon and was previously known as the Durban Institute of Technology. It has four campuses in Durban, and two in Pietermaritzburg. In 2005, around 20 000 students were enrolled.
The Durban University of Technology is a result of the merger in April 2002 of two technikons, ML Sultan and Technikon Natal. It was named the Durban Institute of Technology and later became the Durban University of Technology in late 2007.[1]
KwaZulu-Natal's Indian population began arriving in the 1860s to work on the sugar plantations. In 1927, those with no educational qualifications were threatened with repatriation. This threat stimulated adult classes in literacy, as well as a range of commercial subjects, held in a mission school and a Hindu institute, but it was not until after the war, and thanks to substantial financial support from the public, that M L Sultan College came into being. It would be another decade, however, before the city council, now preoccupied with the strictures of the first Group Areas Act of 1950, allocated suitable land for a permanent campus.[1]
The Natal Technical College was founded in 1907 and immediately began providing tuition to more than 350 part-time students. The strictures of apartheid as it was codified through legislation weighed heavily on this institution as well. In 1955 the college was taken over by national education authorities; and in 1967 it became an exclusively white institution.[1]

In 2007, the university employed 566 academic staff, 46 percent of them female and 12 percent holding masters and doctoral degrees.[1]

- Ela Gandhi, granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi is the Chancellor of Durban University of Technology.[2]
Student enrollment[edit]
The Durban University of Technology offers contact learning only. In 2007, there were 22,702 contact students, 19,007 of whom were full-time and 3,695 part-time. Of these, 22,381 were South African citizens, 243 from other SADC countries, and 78 from non-SADC countries (actual data, 2007). The table below summarizes student enrolment per Faculty in 2007.[1]

Margo says," that this is her 4th year for Ladies of Faith, my best friend Charlene Phillips started this together, it has always been in my heart to minister to women. when I lived in Dallas I served on the board of Womens Aglow for a couple of years.
So when I moved to Eureka Springs I met a friend and her and I (Terry) we were in ministry for a couple of years we held conferences and meetings, the ministry was very powerful, we saw so many miracles in our ministry together. I still wanted a ladies ministr, so years later the Lord spoke to me in my home here and said, NOW IS THE TIME FOR YOUR LADIES MINISTRY! So I told Charlene the Lord gave us 2 wks to do this we had over 50 ladies at our first meeting. W when the Lord says Now is the time! It will work just do it!. So its going to be this next year."
In the course of this broadcast I will be reading a message God gave Margo..This is her heart- hope you listen.

The only effect is a message during shutdown, along the lines of: /bin/fuser: no such file (shutdown continues normally and successfully) From this we can conclude that not all netfs users actually need to invoke fuser all the time, but having it working will do no harm.

Can a 70's model troybilt horse with a standard transmission be converted to a PTO model? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Maybe someone else knows for sure, but I doubt it. The tine shaft housing attaches to the transmission housing differently. Mike |
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 13, 11 at 21:36
I have a 1981 (the year before PTO). The shaft runs from the drive pulley to tine worm drive. I don't think the gear box on mine would even mate up to a PTO. I would like a PTO also, but I don't see it happening. Larry |
Do you think if I changed the transmission. I'm just not sure what else is involved or if they are entirely different. I may have to do work or replace the transmission on the horse but If possible i would like to put a pto tranny on it instead of the original one. Thanks, Vic |
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Fri, Oct 14, 11 at 15:07
If I had an old PTO horse that had a good tranny and a shot engine I would just switch engines. Some of the guts might work, maybe all of them. For me it is not worth the trouble. AT the moment mine slings dirt like crazy and I will leave it like it is. I have no Idea how many parts are interchangeable. If you had a parts list you could check the numbers and see if they match. I have seen info on the web but don't remember where. I hope if you tackle this project you will let the rest of us know what is involved. I bet we all would like a PTO Horse. Larry |
The PTO horse has an unboltable rear end, so other attachments could be bolted up. So, I would say NO. Mine is PTO, but I never took it off. Other than safety reasons, I don't know of anything special about it that would make me convert to it. |
Mine is a PTO also,but unless you have the attachments it's of no use other than you can take it loose to work on the tine end. Mike |
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Sat, Oct 15, 11 at 20:07
My complaint is that the tines turn all the time. I would like the option of disengaging the tines. I have a Poulan Pro that is not near the tiller that the Horse is but it is much easier to use because I can shift the tines in and out of gear. Larry |
When not tilling, just transporting, drop the depth control all the way down and just let it slide on it. Mike |
It would be easier to fabricate a skid plate to attach to the depth control, like mla2 says, than to replace the whole rear end. |
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Sun, Oct 16, 11 at 10:22
I do OK on transporting. Its tilling in tight places that causes me problems with the horse. I often back into a tight place and till my way out. But this most often happens after the garden has been tilled and I have good size plants. The Poulan and the Mantis does the toy work, the horse does the MAN'S work. Larry |
It's all history now, but it makes me wonder why troybilt didn't put in a sprag clutch on the tine drive shaft so when it was turning backwards while in reverse there'd be no power to the tines. Of course when some poor soul wrapped 50' of wire, garden hose, etc around the tines shafts the sprag wouldn't be much apprecited,LOL!! Mike |
I seriously doubt that anybody goes through the trouble of unswitching the PTO when they back into a corner. I've never done it, for sure. I relaxed alot of the tension in the spring that you use when backing, so I can stand to the side and with very light pressure, back it up. |
I don't switch mine off either, Baymee. I figure my Mantis is just right for those tight jobs. The only time the horse is in the garden is tilling in fall leaves and getting it ready for spring planting. Mike |
- Posted by slowpoke_gardener 6/7 (My Page) on Mon, Oct 17, 11 at 17:39
I only use my Horse for the tough stuff. The finish work is always by hand or with one of the smaller tillers. Larry |

Cazenovia, NY – The Cazenovia women's lacrosse team defeated the Wildcats of SUNYIT by a score of 16-8 on Tuesday in the teams' first round NEAC tournament matchup. Cazenovia defeated SUNYIT just eleven days prior, escaping with a 13-12 victory. With the win the Wildcats advance to this weekend's quarterfinals as they take on the host and top seeded Storm of Keuka College at 11:30 am this Saturday May 3.
It was a tale of two halves as Cazenovia held just a 4-2 lead at the conclusion of the first 30 minutes of play. Senior Kim Vrigian scored twice to lead all Wildcats while junior Daejah Werntz and sophomore Abby Webster each added a goal of their own in the first half.
Cazenovia came out on fire to begin the second half. Vrigian netted two of Cazenovia's first three goals to start the second period, and went on to score a whopping 6 in the second half alone, leading all scorers with 8 goals in the game. Caz went on a 7-2 run to begin the final thirty minutes of play, effectively putting the game out of reach for the visiting Wildcats en route to the 16-8 victory.
Vrigian's eight goals scored were a season high for the senior from Clifton Park, NY. Webster, Werntz, and senior Jessica Cramer each added two goals apiece. Werntz also led the Wildcats in groundballs collecting 12 for the game, also a season high.
Best of luck to the women's lacrosse team this weekend as coach Pacelli and the Wildcats travel to Keuka College this Saturday, May 3 for an 11:30 am matchup.
