Rockstar Comments on Allegedly Poor Working Conditions in San Diego
If nothing else, Rockstar promises Red Dead Redemption is still coming in April.
Rockstar has stayed mostly silent since allegations of "degrading" work conditions at Rockstar San Diego were made public. A letter from an individual claiming to represent the spouses of staff members at the Red Dead Redemption developer claimed "the working conditions persist to deteriorate as employees are manipulated by certain hands that wield the reigns of power in Rockstar San Diego." It also suggested that management was lying about deadlines among other transgressions and yet, with the exception of an Eye of Sauron-looking image that essentially mocked the whole situation, there had been no official response from Rockstar. Whether that was out of a desire to not lend any credibility to the claims or a hope that this would all just go away, Rockstar has finally addressed the situation in a mailbag feature on their website.
Citing two Twitter messages that requested they respond to the San Diego studio situation, Rockstar offered up reassurances that Red Dead Redemption will be released on time in April. About the allegations, they had the following to say:
As for the stories spreading around the internet, yes we have noticed them. Unfortunately, this is a case of people taking the opinions of a few anonymous posters on message boards as fact. No business is ever perfect, but Rockstar Games is a tight knit team made up of around 900 supremely talented and motivated professionals, many of whom have worked here for a very long time. We're saddened if any former members of any studio did not find their time here enjoyable or creatively fulfilling and wish them well with finding an environment more suitable to their temperaments and needs, but the vast majority of our company are focused solely on delivering cutting edge interactive entertainment. Weâ??ve always cared passionately about the people working here, and have always tried to maintain a supportive creative environment. There is simply no way Rockstar could continue to produce such large scale, high quality games without this. That being said, making great games is very challenging, which is why we have and will continue to try to keep hold of some of the best talent in the industry and support them in every way we can.Anyone who was completely convinced about the situation isn't likely to be satisfied by this alone. But the letter promised legal action would be taken if the situation was not rectified, so unless the working conditions were poor and have since been fixed, it looks like the letter might not turn out to be true -- at least not 100% true. It's entirely possible that litigation will still be forthcoming, but for the time being, we have to continue to treat this story as a rumor at best.

Some of you are jerks!Posted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by Lancaster
The blind assumption that it's so easy to go out and get another job just because you're talented is ridiculous. Another job could mean picking up your family and entire lives and moving not just to another city but to another state or country (your spouse may have a good job they're happy with!). You act like there are 10 different studios in a reasonable vicinity of their homes and they're ALL hiring (if anything they're probably downsizing).
A lot of people in various industries are stuck in job conditions right now that suck but are putting up with it because they have to. Anyone who just says "shut up or quit" clearly has had a VERY sheltered life and needs a good kick in the balls. I can't believe Rockstar is making this sound like it's just some chronic whiner. 60-70 hour work weeks should be "special occasions". Not a normal work week!
*I was fortunate to find a new job in my area back in September after being laid off (I'm in Graphic Design, not games). Still, there are the months in between jobs and the stress of finding your place and comfort zone within a new company after having been at the same company for 8 years. Some of you need to grow up and get out of your diapers. Job changes lead you into uncertainty where you previously could count on things to go a certain way.
I'm tough and hate butt hurters! Boo yah brosepths!Posted: Jan 22, 2010 12:00AM PST by BrokenH
Y'know I really hate the "So long as I get games I don't care who suffers!" or the "It's easy to get another job!" arguments. Most people on that bandwagon don't even know what the industry is like or how hard it can be to find work after handing in a resignation.
Workers will not always simply quit when conditions go bad. There are families to feed and bills to pay. Even if someone is lucky enough to land another job it's normally not until many weeks later. Few things are instantaneous. On top of that the first paycheck from a new employer is usually held back 2 weeks.
Bottom line is if we haven't been working directly under RockStar we shouldn't judge because we're ignorant.
Sure this could be a big publicity joke for hype but if it is legit why is demanding fairer treatment of workers and better management strategies being a "weak brother?". If noone ever questioned the system we wouldn't have gotten civil rights and better benefits. Should we let corruption happily steam roll our asses? For all the "hardcore anti butt hurt coalitioners" say what you will about these people now but when all of YOU face the same harsh treatment in your futures I bet you'll be crying the loudest.
That's what I cannot stand about apathetic spoiled pricks. They laugh and try acting all tough when someone else gets dragged through the mud but when it's their time to be roughed up suddenly they flinch and cry for mom & dad.

Any major software project has crunch time. It's normal and not a big deal, even given good planning. A month or so before release, you put in lots of extra hours to make sure your product has all the polish you can possibly add. If the planning and management was poor, then you rush to make sure the damn thing works :) When there is no planning and management is a joke, then the long hours never end, and that's where the problems occur. The complaint featured all of the red flags of incompetent management -- no milestones, little direction, no big plan, no discussion of critical parts, teams ricocheting from project to project at the behest of top-level managers, and a total lack of focus. You want your teams to be focused. The Red Dead guys should only work on Red Dead. If you want them to fix a GTA scrap of code, then you're simply making fundamentally unsound management decisions. They don't know the full picture of GTA, so any fixes they make could lead to further bugs down the road as they may break an undocumented assumption that they wouldn't if they understood the GTA code base. If you want a team to work on a given project, you must incorporate them into it. Incorporating a team into a proejct takes time and money, as they have to get up to speed with the full set of operating assumptions. This isn't some ivory tower academic argument, this is real world engineering. If you as manager fail to do this, the team will fail, unless you are incredibly lucky, or they are incredibly talented, or you force them to work extra hours, whereupon you now have poor morale and exhaustion, which will make jelling a team nearly impossible and will likely rip apart a previously strong team.
The rules of software engineering are as serious and solid as the theories and laws of physics, and you ignore both at your peril.

yeah thats what i was trying to say in the original article on here which caused me to get strung up by some of our defenders of the weak type brothers on this site. if the conditions were that bad, they would no longer be in business. they would have never made it this far anyways.

It's not that difficult to get a job if you're a highly skilled individual. What used to take 2-3 weeks between contracts now takes 4-6 weeks, but we are not talking months and months of food stamps and welfare checks.
It's entirely dependent on your skills, your references, your resume, etc. If you worked on something that was profitable for a large software company (games or otherwise), that alone almost writes a ticket to another job pretty easily. The work conditions may currently suck at Rockstar, but if the release date is April, then yeah, it's going to continue that way. I've heard of "crunch times" going 6-9 months, and if a game has taken 2+ years to develop, that's entirely possible.
I don't mean this to sound facetious or otherwise rude, but the spouse of someone that is high up on the food chain in software development has to know that the conditions will literally suck for a while towards the end of development. No telling how long "a while" may be (varies from place to place), but if it's the spouses complaining and not the employees, that may be a family issue rather than a company issue.
Not saying I'm right, but think about it a little bit. I've been in similar situations and it's no fun. Until after the gold master goes out, that is.

Of course they won't quit, they wouldn't be able to get another job if they did. Stupid. It's like people that work at walmart for 39 hours so that they're not full time and don't get benefits. Why don't they just quit? Because there's no other fucking job for them. Just because this is the job they have, doesn't mean it's good for them. It's not that easy to get employed these days.
Rockstar is doing PR, but lyingPosted: Jan 21, 2010 12:00AM PST by RySean
I personally know someone who works at Rockstar and asked him/her about the working conditions when the original article surfaced. He/she told me that the allegations were true, and it stemmed from micromanagement of employees and ridiculous deadlines for constant changes being applied. He/she told me that they often have employees working 12 hour days, 6 days a week, with their project managers being constantly swapped out and being given different directions from multiple bosses.
Rockstar of course wants to protect their reputation, and are releasing that statement for that purpose. I personally have nothing against Rockstar, but they need to get their act together if they want to put out a quality game. My contact at Rockstar told me that Red Dead Redemption has the possibility of being a great game, but only if the staff is allowed to do the work that needs to be done, rather than working on changes that are made up at the whim of higher ups on a daily basis.
Rockstar employees might be appeased with a big bonus after the game is up, but I predict you'll see a lot of employees leaving, especially if they don't get the bonus they're expecting.
EhhPosted: Jan 21, 2010 12:00AM PST by ShadowbladerXT
see...it's callecd costs. If the conditions are that bad then the workers will quit. Apparently it isn't bad or else we would have heard a former emplyee testify. So far it has only been spouses. Plus if the job was that bad, I'm sure these employees can find another job. However, if they can't then ><

The play of the Jaguars is pretty consistent with the play of their quarterback David Garrard. Garrard has tantalizing physical skills, as he has a perfect release, one of the strongest arms in the league, and the ability to at times turn a mistake into a highlight reel play. Thursday's 31-24 loss to Indianapolis was a perfect microcosm of the seductive killer that David Garrard is to the Jaguars.
Garrard began the game with pinpoint accuracy, as he completed 10 of his first 11 pass attempts for 103 yards, with the only incompletion stemming from a Marcedes Lewis drop. Garrard led the team to two methodical touchdown drives, and he looked more than deserving of his six-year, $60 million contract that the team quickly presented him after just one year as a starting quarterback.
"We did a great job," Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew said of the Jaguars offense early on. "I think we moved the ball and scored points."
Garrard helped lead the Jaguars to a 17-7 halftime lead, but there were a few fortunate plays in which Colts defensive backs dropped would-be interceptions. Still, Garrard looked effective and nearly matched the great Peyton Manning throw for throw.
Then, the other Garrard showed up. The biggest issues with the Jaguars quarterback that has many believing that the team was certainly hasty to give Garrard a new deal was his decision making, need for a great running game to be effective, and deep ball accuracy. That once again reared its ugly head in the fourth period, when the Jaguars were outscored 17-0.
With the game tied at 24 with just under five minutes remaining, crunch time ensued. What occurred was a perfectly thrown David Garrard pass to Keiwan Ratliff that he turned into six points. Great news, right? Not for the Jaguars as Ratliff plays for Indianapolis. Garrard had another implosion that cost his team another game.
"You don't want to put your team in that situation where you let the guy pick it off and run it back for a touchdown," Garrard said. "They made a good play. It was actually man coverage and he made a smart play by dropping off Dennis (Northcutt). You never see that in man coverage so that was a smart play by him. They know we like the slant game on that down and distance and they watched tape. He just made a good play."
Jaguars.com editor Vic Ketchman, one of the most respected writers in the NFL and staunch defender of David Garrard had this to say in his game-time blog—
"The game is in Garrard's hands. This is crunch time. This is when you measure a quarterback."
Following the pick-six, Ketchman's comments turned to what most Jaguars fans should have been thinking.
"That bothers me greatly. Crunch time is crunch time. There's no way to minimize it's importance. It means everything."
Garrard's questionable decision-making struck yet again on the ensuing possession as he took a 15-yard sack on a 3rd and 4 play near midfield instead of throwing the ball away. This has been a troubling theme for the Jaguars all year long as Garrard has taken 41 sacks this season, certainly not all of which have been the offensive line's fault.
On the Jaguars final drive of the game, Garrard drove the team down the field from their own 10 yard line and put the team in position for a score as he took them to the Indianapolis six yard line. Garrard missed a wide-open Reggie Williams in the back of the end zone and then with 12 seconds remaining did the unthinkable. Garrard took a sack which ended the game.
"You can't take a sack on the last play. It's got to be thrown into end zone," Del Rio said. "He made some great plays tonight. You'd like it to come out of his hand and it either be incomplete or score a touchdown. It just didn't happen."
Garrard did it to the Jaguars again. He played lights out for three quarters and then gave the game away. Although the Jaguars are financially committed to Garrard, he hasn't proven that he can take the team on his back when opponents are selling out to stop the run and win a game with his arm. Garrard was handed the starting job this season without any competition and he was handed a truckload of money after being a solid game manager last season with the league's second-ranked running game. It certainly appears that the Jaguars have made a $60 million mistake.
In the NFL, the only thing worse than making a mistake of that magnitude is refusing to admit that you made the mistake. We'll see if the Jaguars are still in denial when free agency and the draft roll around in the next few months.

text: LIRR Cuomo urged to stop LIRR strike By Charles Lane • Jul 2, 2014 AP Photo/Richard Drew Worried time is running out, several Long Island State Senators are urging New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to intercede in the stalled contract negotiations between the MTA and Long Island Rail Road workers. Technically there is no deadline. LIRR workers are legally allowed to strike beginning Sunday, July 20th. However, they previously offered to push that date back to the end of summer where a strike would have more impact. There would be fewer people on vacation, college students would be back on the train, and it's the eve of November's gubernatorial election. LIRR commuters prepare for strike By Gabrielle Fonrouge • Jun 29, 2014 AP Photo/Richard Drew The Metropolitan Transportation Authority and Long Island Rail Road workers failed to reach a deal last week over a four-year contract standoff. Union representatives can begin a strike in three weeks which has commuters on edge. LIRR injuries up 30%, blamed on winter weather By Charles Lane • May 19, 2014 AP/Mary Altaffer So far this year injures of workers on the Long Island Rail Road have increased more than 30% while passenger injuries have increased about 20%. Third track could bring $68B to LI By Charles Lane • May 6, 2014 AP/Mary Altaffer A coalition of Long Island business leaders, developers, educators, and commuter advocates announced a report Tuesday that tallied the economic benefits of building a third track on the Long Island Rail Road. But despite what many say is a win for Long Island, a third track is still not on the planning boards. MTA seeks buses for looming LIRR Strike By Charles Lane • Apr 28, 2014 AP/Luc Novovitch The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is in the beginning stages of planning bus service in the event of a strike on the Long Island Rail Road this summer. Some, however, see this as a provocation to get the unions to settle their contract dispute. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next › last »

Boswell and Miss Gregg
On Wednesday the 2nd of March, 1791, James Boswell set down in his diary news of his evening's entertainment:
"… I dined today at Mr. Gregg's in the City,… In the evening Miss Gregg played both on the harpsichord and harp and sung admirable well. But I felt none of the fondness for her which made me once rave [fn: This is the sole reference to Boswell's earlier fondness for Miss Gregg.], and it seemed awkward to me. I stole away in time to be at the Essex Head Club, and not be obliged to act also at supper."
Miss Gregg – the future Caroline Carr (Mrs. Ralph Carr of Stannington) – was a friend to Miss Augusta Smith (aka "Mamma") and her sisters, staying at Erle Stoke Park (in Wiltshire), before her marriage.
In the near future, Caroline Carr would become the sister-in-law of Maria Gosling, my diarist Mary's "Aunt Gregg". Caroline Gregg and Ralph Carr married in 1793, while Maria Gosling and Henry Gregg married in 1794. Mr. Carr was brother to Harriet Cheney (née Carr), whose watercolor portraits were auctioned at Christie's in 2005. Harriet painted this little portrait of Lady Compton (née Margaret Douglas Maclean Clephane), which was among those sold:
The little girl is Lady Marianne Compton, her eldest daughter.
I've an interest in the Gregg-Gosling-Smith-Carr connection, for there are several letters that tell about the ladies of this generation, interacting with each other. The Boswell sighting has long been known, but was just a little vignette. A moment, all its own.
After last evening, I can add a little "history" to the young Caroline Gregg. She shows up in the book The History of the Family of Carr of Dunston Hill, Co. Durham (1893), the first volume of three in an exhaustive family history. What a FIND!
The young couple lived at 7 Charlotte Street, Bloomsbury; they moved in 1800 to No. 18 Bloomsbury Street (in a house that remained in family possession until 1871). Vacations were spent with the in-laws at Dunston Hill, "travelling in two post-chaises, servants riding. The great cost of travelling at that time is shewn by the fact that the journey each way cost over £50." (A not-insignificant sum, when some households lived on 350 pounds – or less – a year.)
The country estate the Carrs called home, from circa 1806, was Barrow Point Hill, in Pinner.
The book's author offers this summation of Caroline (Gregg) Carr:
"This gentle and talented lady was especially distinguished as a musician, both in singing and as a pianist and harpist. She had had the advantage of the best masters, and her fame as an amateur pianist was such that the great Haydn paid a visit to her father's house in London to hear her play. She was the composer of several musical pieces, one March being written at the express request of the Marquis of Northampton [ie, Emma Smith's uncle], for the use of his regiment, and has since been highly approved by more than one military band." Caroline also had an interest in the works of Handel, possessing in score (over several volumes) "all his works".
Caroline had been born in 1770, and was therefore about 21 years old when her singing and playing entertained James Boswell. How young she might have been when first attracting his eye can be guessed at from mentions of her brother Francis Gregg in 1788, and more especially time spent at "Mrs. Gregg's" (either Caroline's sister-in-law, or mother) in 1790.
She died in 1823, aged only 53. She was buried at Pinner Church.
What the book does not touch upon is the strife Caroline and Ralph endured from their respective families, especially Mr. Gregg. Letters in the Northumberland Archives speak of the "cruel treatment meted out to himself [Ralph Carr] and Caroline by her father". Ralph Carr seems to have had as variable a temper as Mr. Gregg, for Eliza Gosling (Maria Gregg's sister-in-law) writes of him keeping his wife away from "her own relations … even her Mother."
As far as Boswell is concerned, however, Mrs. Carr doesn't yet exist – only Miss Gregg, at her piano or harp, existed to cause him unease.
From the book comes this "charming" signature – oh! for the letters…

Combine Jane Austen, Eliza Chute, and "Sense and Sensibility" with a true-life courtship and abandonment. Mrs. Wheeler, a woman taken in by the Chutes of The Vyne, left an orphan daughter, Hester, who left deep impressions on both Caroline Wiggett and Caroline Austen.
The flower painter Margaret Meen also taught painting: pupils included Queen Charlotte and the Royal Princesses; the four Smith sisters of Erle Stoke Park: Maria, Eliza, Augusta and Emma. Little about Meen's life has been uncovered — until now. Four letters lead to some surprisingly-full biographical details of the life of a woman artist in Georgian England.
{NB: "Miss Meen" appeared in the July/August 2014 issue No. 70 of Jane Austen's Regency World magazine as "Flowering in Four Letters". The link, above, is the original article submitted to JARW. To purchase the magazine, please go to BACK ISSUES on the JARW website}
Links to ACADEMIA articles can always be found in the navigation at right.
And, soon, these two articles will be joined by a new treatise!
Early in the history of this blog, I dangled the idea that JAMES BOSWELL was one of the "famous" names connected with the Smiths & Goslings. So watch my Academia page for the upload (coming shortly) of "Boswell's 'Miss Cunliffe': Augmenting James Boswell's missing Chester Journal".
Academia.edu will ask you to sign in to view articles (Google and Facebook are two alternatives to creating an Academia account); articles are PDF.
History's Eyes on Soo
On Broadway, she's played, sung, "lived and breathed," Eliza Schuyler Hamilton, now Phillipa Soo puts pen to paper – writing the foreword to a new book about the wife & widow of Alexander Hamilton.
Woo-HOO! Right?
Alas, the projected bio is to be a children's picture book: "Eliza: The Story of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton", by Margaret McNamara (Schwartz & Wade, fall 2017).
Great for youthful readers (for whom, I guess, the "clean" Broadway cast album has been produced – since the play has become a hit with school teachers), but what about the rest of us?! _I_ cannot be the only reader interested in hearing more about "The Schuyler Sisters": Angelica, Eliza – and Peggy.
Their history is particularly relevant to those of us in the north-east U.S., so close to the action of Albany, New York, where Philip J. Schuyler (a "Revolutionary War general, U.S. Senator, and business entrepreneur") lived in a lovely mansion that still exists — and can be visited.
Described on the website as, "The Georgian structure, reflecting Schuyler's English tastes – was built on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River," the house is open from May through October. Cost (in 2016 dollars) is a very reasonable $5.00 ($4 Seniors & Students; free for children under 12) [for groups, see their rate sheet]
- NB: Combined tickets can be had for Crailo, the Van Rensselaer mansion, across the river.
Of course the main topic targeted is the life of Philip and Catharine (Van Rensselaer) Schuyler. ALTHOUGH there is a *special* tour offered this year (on selected days), "When Alexander Hamilton called Albany Home". Surely, among the moments recounted will be Alexander's marriage to Elizabeth – which took place here in 1780. [NOTE: THIS focus-tour is by reservation only]
Maybe next year the Schuyler mansion will highlight Eliza Schuyler instead of Alexander Hamilton. One news story, about Phillipa Soo, highlights one reason I find Hamilton such a compelling listen:
"As Eliza, she's got a trip through the ringer as the shy middle child of the wealthy, covetable Schuyler sisters; by falling for Hamilton in the first place, her fate is already sealed for a whole spectrum of heartbreak, including infidelity and, of course, death. She emerged as a key reason for the show's emotional resonance, most especially delivered in her final-scene solo, in which she recounts Eliza's accomplishments after her husband's death, redeeming a somewhat lost historical figure through tears. It was the most notable part of Hamilton, for me—that Lin-Manuel Miranda would end the show by righting the essential erasure of a woman who was key to the creation of America"
— Julianne Escobado Shepherd
History finally has its eyes on you, Eliza! The lyrics to "Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story" is an astonishing move for a play about Alexander Hamilton, bringing Elizabeth Hamilton fully into the spotlight. It would be nice to page through 800-pages of Ron Chernow's Hamilton biography in order to pluck out of it Eliza's story – but here's hoping some one takes the baton from Margaret McNamara and delves deeper into the lives of the Hamilton women. As Shepherd quotes Soo saying upon first working on Hamilton, "'Oh, I don't really know that much about Alexander Hamilton, and who is this Eliza person that I've never heard about?'"
"History waiting to be unlocked," is Soo's understated summation of her involvement in the play. "I think it just reminds us that women have such a huge place in history but their voices weren't necessarily as loud."
Anyone following Hamilton will know that three leads ended their performances last night (July 9th). The New York Theater website has a concise history for the trio on the occasion of the "original cast" breaking up, including a link to Facebook footage of the "final curtain call" – which already has well over a MILLION views.
Soo moves on to another new musical – based on the de-light-ful French film, Amelie!! (If you've never watched the movie, run to get a copy; you'll be ready to book a flight to Paris soon afterwards…)
* * *
Two personal notes: _I_ just love how a history-slash-biography BOOK can make a name (and money) for its author a decade after its publication. Writers dream of film and/or TV – few would dream of their work being the basis for a stage musical. Still, Hamilton shows what FRESH ideas can do for any industry.
Also, I have my father to thank for a LOT of my interest in Hamilton. Last summer (June, 2015) I dragged him down to New York City. A three-month, temporary job had just ended and I had LONGED to visit two archives, which, indeed, have given me SO MUCH Smith & Gosling material.
Everything fell so perfectly into place – I got a seat in the archive for the entire week; and found a place to live, a new Air B&B listing in Weehawken, New Jersey – just a bus ride through the Lincoln Tunnel, which offered parking (for we drove down from Vermont).
Although not affecting me (except when walking from/to the subway stop), the rain was so bad that parts of nearby New Jersey sustained flood damage. Yet, the rain kept my father – who wasn't inclined to visit Manhattan on his own – close to "home".
It was he who discovered, just around the corner, near THIS FABULOUS view of Manhattan, this historic marker:
July 11, 1804
The most famous duel in American History took place on this date at the dueling grounds in Weehawken, between political rivals, General Alexander Hamilton and sitting Vice-President of the United States, Colonel Aaron Burr. Hamilton fell mortally wounded, and died the next day in New York City.
Tragically, Hamilton's son Philip had also met his death here in a duel in 1801.
Dedicated on July 11, 2004, the 200th Anniversary of the Duel.

- Leslie Odom, Jr's Got Milk? parody, featuring BURR, of course
At Home – with Jane & Lucy
2017 – the bicentennial of Jane Austen's death – will see a *new* biography published by none other than Lucy Worsley.
We all know Worsley's work from her many TV specials – "Tales from the Royal Wardrobe", "Tales from the Royal Bedchamber", "The First Georgians", "A Very British Murder", "Harlots, Housewives & Heroines", etc. etc. I have certainly enjoyed her book The Courtiers: Splendour and Intrigue in the Georgian Court at Kensington Palace, which brought some refreshing storytelling.
In its early stage provisionally entitled AT HOME WITH JANE AUSTEN (which already exists among the "Jane Austen" series of books by Kim Wilson), the biography tell Jane Austen's "story through the rooms, spaces, possessions and places which mattered to her". Says Worsley's editor: "Lucy's knowledge of the period makes her the perfect biographer and her wonderful writing style will truly bring Jane Austen and her world to life."
Worsley used a Kensington Palace painting to open the oft-told history of the first Hanoverian King George. What will she use for Jane Austen? Will it look at Steventon, which is no longer existing, as well as Chawton and Bath? Chawton is a source for many items that belonged to Austen – for instance, her jewelry. Her writing slope is also on public display.
- Jane Austen's Writing Habits
- The History of Jane Austen's Writing Desk (PDF)
- Jane Austen @ The British Library
"… an everyday object that had been
important to her writing life."
Paula Byrne's book, The Real Jane Austen: A Life in Small Things, sought a similar approach away from the typical cradle-to-grave biography. It will be *fun* to see how Worsley works out the lack of any new discoveries. Will she recreate some of the homes, spaces, and places that Austen knew? Perhaps readers of If Walls Could Talk will have advance knowledge of the Worsley's approach. Worsley has already been caught rubbing elbows with Regency dandies. And she's even got a work of fiction, as well as her TV-tie-ins, on bookstore shelves. Lucy Worsley is one of four writers who back in April (2016) discussed Lizzy & Darcy and themselves.
The Hodder & Stoughton website gives the following information:
- title (revised from above): Jane Austen at Home
- projected pagination (nicely hefty): 352 pages
- release date (it'll be here before we know it): 18 May 2017
Founding Father in London
A perfect "4th of July" read for anyone interested in the "founding fathers" and the ties that continue to bind the U.S. to the U.K. : George Goodwin's Benjamin Franklin in London.
I have acquired and enjoyed books on Franklin's sister – Jill Lepore's 2014 Book of Ages and Carl Van Doren's 1950 Jane Mecom – so Franklin in London seemed a good off-shoot (as Jane's life is typically told through the remnants that exist, and they pretty much deal with her famous brother).
Also, not too long ago, I saw a FASCINATING PBS show, part of the series SECRETS OF THE DEAD, entitled Ben Franklin's Bones – which uncovered the 'secret' behind skeletal remains unearthed in Franklin's Craven Street House (now a Franklin Museum, which offers architectural tours and also "historical experience" tours).
There is a 'bridge' section in Goodwin's book between the voyage to England Franklin took as a young man and the long stay later in life. So readers do get a rounded idea of Franklin throughout life, not just the years lived abroad.
One source for Goodwin is the 3-volumes of biography by J.A. Leo Lemay; the full "life of Franklin," in twice as many volumes, was cut short by Lemay's death in 2008.
Franklin's stay in Craven Street gives a slice of life in London not often gleaned – he was an important personage who was sought after by many. For those of us with an affinity to the European years (ie, Abigail Adams in France & England), Goodwin's Benjamin Franklin in London is an excellent addition to any bibliophile's library.
Ann Lewis fecit
Hopefully you can read the artist's signature: Ann Lewis facit, in this 1802 drawing. Alas! although the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (or LACMA) owns these DELIGHTFUL fashion plate paintings by Ann Frankland Lewis, they are, sadly, NOT ON DISPLAY!
So the next best thing is a cyber visit to Dames a la Mode – where the many works of Miss Lewis can be enjoyed over two pages.
Surely based on existing fashion plates, Ann Lewis' drawings are colorful and wonderful, and have (obviously) given costumers some great ideas.
LACMA has only one image, and woefully LITTLE information on the artist, or their holdings. If anyone reading this knows more – please say! Two Nerdy History Girls has a lovely little write-up.
As a group they evidently date from 1774 to 1807. The BLUE dress (above) dates from 1803. And this 'head' from 1806.
Now, if only the museum would put these items on display – or in a special exhibit!
How to LOCK a Letter
A fascinating find: 2,600 letters were uncovered, kept inside a postmaster's trunk. Astounding!
"The trunk contains 2,600 letters sent from France, Spain and the Spanish Netherlands between 1689 and 1706 but never delivered – including 600 letters never opened," says the press release for the project that is now called SIGNED, SEALED & UNDELIVERED.
Stored at the Hague's Museum voor Communicatie since 1926, only now (thanks to technology) will the letters be "read," unopened.
I hate to say it, but I was VERY grateful for the early dates of the letters! If I had thought ANY Smith & Gosling letters were among them, it would have driven me CRAZY!
Even more astounding are the YouTube videos featuring ways writers "locked" old letters – more than a simple wax seal over a seam, to keep prying eyes at bay.
I found this "pleated letter" of 1691, very interesting:
It's "lock" is the piece you see with the very tapered end, closest to the "letter writer's" arm.
What's really interesting is the "writer," after closing up the letter, then shows HOW TO OPEN it!
This "diamond" shaped letter was also one above the usual, since it actually is a piece of HATE mail!
Step-by-step How To for EACH of the letters is shown (there's no voice). The completed letter is briefly on view, then the letter is opened.
In a Lady's Reticule
When a Facebook query was made about what a Lady might have in her reticule, I simply had to reply:
"An Ivory Note Pad!"
Wonderful photo, as you still see some writing on it! This particular specimen is a 2007 "sale", but the write-up still proves interesting: Described as "3 inches long and 1.5 inches wide" you get an impression of how "DARLING" these items could be.
And who would want to be caught short when a fabulous thought, or Mr. Darcy's address, was in need of being written down?!?
Have found one "reproduction" (complies with certain laws…) notebook, $135, in 'brass' with the intention of hanging from a chatelaine. Rather a neat idea.
Desperately Seeking "addressed to Lady Seymour"
An internet search brought up the following for a former eBay auction – trouble is I have NO CLUE as to the date of the auction — recent? really old? The date of the letter is less in question, 1861 – though no day or month.
The original description read:
"Addressed to Lady Seymour. Stamp has been cut out leaving part Southampton cancel with Botley & part Berkhamsted CDS's on back. 4 page partly cross hatched letter."
Would LOVE images of the letter (so I can transcribe the contents) – in exchange for information on the recipient and/or writer. The "Lady Seymour" in question undoubtedly is Maria Culme Seymour (née Smith), Emma Austen's youngest sister.
Sotheby's Silver Secret
Click on the photo to read the history behind this pair of Candelabra, dating from the era of George IV – They once belonged to Denis and Eliza Le Marchant! Oh, the parties this pair must have witnessed…
Sold at auction in December 2007, the price as the hammer dropped was £94,100. Do not hesitate to take a closer look with the "zoom" feature.

Susan Yeates – Crochet Designer, Author and Artist
Yes, it's true – I do a lot! But underpinning everything is a love of creating things. Over the past few years it is crochet that I have been creating and it truly has me hooked (pun intended).
Finding Crochet…
I was introduced to crochet at a sewing bee that I go to with a few of my closest friends. We gather together once a month, have a bite to eat, a good gossip, and we then get on with our creative projects.
I began by practicing simple stitches in little square blocks and then working through small easy patterns and granny squares. I taught myself from books, magazines and YouTube videos and after an initial period where I was crocheting backwards (oops!), I finally got the hang of it and actually started to love it. More and more yarn was bought and more and more projects came to fruition!
I just totally fell in love with crochet and got really carried away. I would see a design on Pinterest or in a book and think "I can make this!" I would even read patterns and start to think of ways to change them, or correct them. I started a little sketchbook of project ideas and pattern elements and kept building on it month by month. Not to mention the stash of crochet magazines building up!
After about a year into my crochet journey, I discovered Amigurumi patterns and started making little creatures firstly from other books and then of my own design. They began as gifts and presents for friends and family and progressed into a fully-fledged book. I have written two other craft books under the banner of my main craft website www.magenta-sky.com in the past and so it felt natural to create one for my new love of crochet. Amigurumi Animals is now available on amazon.co.uk and includes 21 original patterns of my own design.
Where Does iSAYcrochet Come From?
Simple, my name is Susan Anne Yeates, therefore my initials are SAY. And I, S.A.Y crochet as well as I, say crochet! It sounds better when I say it but you get the gist!
What Else Do I Do?
As I said at the start I do a lot. I run a full time marketing agency, Practice Growth Agency, teach printmaking courses and classes via www.magenta-sky.com and also love teaching and practicing yoga www.yogathelove.co.uk. Not one to sit still for long, I am a creative person, always coming up with a new project or business, so just watch this space!
for more information about my crochet please visit: www.iSAYcrochet.com
Every Christmas, as part of a regular 'sewing bee' that I go to, we make each other a secret santa present out of a bag of scraps including fabric, ribbon, buttons and thread. Last year I was handed some gold thread, 2 small scraps of silk, a piece of wide ribbon and a large button... I was inspired!
So here's what I made: a funky, sparkly patchwork star perfect to hang on your Christmas tree or around the home. They are also great for using up those scraps that linger in your sewing box!
This pattern comes from the book Make Your Own Christmas Tree Decorations by Susan Yeates. Available now on:

I have made a quick version of these in the past, but I wanted to try a more authentic version this time. I'm leaving no stars right now because they won't be officially ready to use for another couple of weeks, but they were really simple to toss together. I used Meyer lemons, so I didn't feel that the 3 day soaking part was needed, because the Meyer lemon skin is already pretty soft. I added all the optional spices, and I added an extra two lemons to the jar to fill it. The wait is killing me, LOL! I will come back and put stars once they are ready to be used. Thanks for posting! Made for The Hot Pink Panthers for ZWT9<br/>Original review 8/26/13, EDITED 1/4/14: I've been working my way through my jar of lemons, tossing them into all sorts of things to give them some Moroccan flair (soups, chicken dishes, etc). These are definitely worth the wait if you are a fan of preserved lemons, as I am. I was too chicken to keep these at room temp once I dipped into them, so I've been keeping the jar in the fridge. I think I might finish off the rest of the jar by making some lemony crockpot lamb (I can't remember the actual recipe number right now, but I've made and reviewed it once before and it was fabulous). Thanks for posting, Sharon (and being so patient waiting for my actual review, too). I definitely recommend this recipe!

Everything was amazing.
Continental breakfast.
Location was great. Close to many scenic routes in the area and walk across the road to Stratton Mtn village.
No screens on room window. Some areas (Hallways and stairwells ,ceiling in shower ) needs repainting. First glance made the place look shabby and rundown but once inside the room everything looked bright and clean.
every thing was fine, had every thing we needed right in the room. staff was very friendly.
Pleasant large , clean room
great place, 5 mins away from straton and bromley, good breakfast
no coffee maker in room
The ambience was charming and the gas-log fireplace was a definite plus.
There was nothing not to like.
Location is beautiful. Food was delicious! And service was excellent.
the owner, makes an excellent European breakfast in the mornings, and is a responsive and entertaining host! We felt very at home and had a very enjoyable stay. He helped us choose a great hike in the area. Would definitely stay again.
The owners Bill and Denise were fabulous hosts. Inn was meticulous. Breakfast was incredible. Cannot say enough about how great Silver Service Inn!!
Our room was very clean and absolutely lovely. The public spaces throughout were nicely appointed and very welcoming. The setting and views were beautiful. We will definitely stay here again.
Inexpensive place to stay on the way to go ski.nothing fancy. I arrived late and left early.
Slightly chilly in room. Did not see a working thermostat
Cleanliness and location. Note this is an adult only hotel. They have par 3 on their property, shuffle board, tennis courts and two pools. I believe there is a small gym but we didn't see it. Very quiet motel but there is a restaurant/bar that is a 3 minute walk from the hotel which is super convenient.
Everything, from the beautiful architecture, the warm reception from the welcoming, friendly staff, down to the unique views, is beyond exceptional. Each room has a different design with unique quirks. My stay was in the Cloud room, a wondetful personal balcony overlooking the pool and gardens with the jacuzzi was such a treat. Delicious breakfast every morning and the friendliest little dog Henry made it feel more like home. Bob and Steve run an amazing inn and I know that I'll definitely be back.
My stay wasn't longer.
Nice location in the mountains with decent views. Breakfast was very good. They had a nice selection of movies to entertain our son since the pool was closed.
Both the pool and restaurant were closed during our stay (pool due to rain and didn't realize that the restaturant would be closed mid week). The heater baseboard covering was loose and every time the bed moved it would rattle the heater.
Was a really friendly place. Owners were great and having a cooked breakfast in the morning sealed the deal. Didn't expect that.
Room was not fancy, but very clean. Staff was very personable and helpful. Breakfast was made to order from a short list of options. Relaxed New England charm.
Very close to downtown and Stratton Ski resort. Comfy bed, clean room.
Parking lot super icy. Free breakfast but your better of going to Ms Murphys in town.
$90 a night for us two double beds and a quiet place to sleep! Set off the road, this hotel was so very quiet ! The owners were super nice and offered me tea or coffee as we were leaving. Definitely will be back!
No air conditioning and it was a warm night. There were a few dead bugs in the bathtub.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

I've got both, but I prefer the 2-post for album pages and the 3-ring for stock pages.

I use neither. Instead, my Scott Specialty pages are in slightly oversized 3-ring D-ring binders from Subway. I got rid of my 2-post binders some years ago, as it was too hard to insert new pages and the Scott 3-ring binders where O-ring style, which I also dislike.
The O-ring binders were too deep (from spine to front edge, which left them sticking out from my bookshelf and the front and back pages had a tendency to drop down toward the spin,curving around the rings, unless I was very careful.
I note that the Supersafe mint sheet binders are very similar to those that I have from Subway and would work just as well.

I personally despise 2 post binders and the demons in whatever level of hell that invented them. They're awesome when you open the book to the middle. But try mounting a stamp on page 3.

Did you ever think to open up the binder, remove the first couple of pages to have a easily accessible album page? A little more work than a three ring binder but I think worth it!

I actually split up the pages, from a single volume specialty album, into 2 specialty binders. Lot easier to work on when there are fewer pages per album.

I use Frank Godden 2 post binders and Stanley Gibbons 22 ring Windsor binders. I find it best with both binders to remove a page to work on it flat on a desktop. Pretty much essential if doing any writing up on the page.

I know I'm in the minority here but I like those old 2 post binders, I like the "bound" look you get.
If I was going to go with ring binders I would go the Lindner, SAFE, Lighthouse, etc route.
I'm in the process of rebuilding an old Scott 2 post binder from scratch, I do a little bit of bookbinding so I figure I'd see what I can come up with. I'll post up a new thread when I'm done.

Hi NeoRev,
I too like the 2 post type binder. I too have renovated six Frank Godden hand made 2 post binders. New with pages these would cost somewhere around �220 ($331) each from Stanley Gibbons, a total of about $2000 . Total cost to buy the six used binders and materials and pages about �300 ($451). I use the SG Graduate 150 lb pages, which have a crease line a wee bit in from the holes. Fold sharply along this frontward and backward before putting the leaves (with separate punched interleaving) in the albums and the leaves lie pretty much flat wherever you open the album. And, as you say, you have the nice 'bound' look. Well worth the effort.

Hey Terence,
Yeah those Frank Godden binders are nice! Having a little know how is always a good way to save some money.
How big are those binders and what is the size of the workable area on the pages you mentioned?

Hi NeoRev,
The best Frank Godden binders are "The Popular" and "The Warwick" types. Only the last is made now, but the first is quarter bound green Moroccan leather and worth looking out for on the bay. The binders are 10.75" high x 10.5" wide x 2" thick and can take 50 to 60+ leaves easy allowing for thicknessing caused by adding the stamps (and mounts if used).
Stanley Gibbons' "Graduate" leaves are about 10.5" high x 9.75" wide with 2 holes. The crease line is 0.75" in from the left hand edge. The leaves have a faint grey quadrille area 7" wide x 8.75" high.
Stanley Gibbons "Devon" glassine interleaving fits perfectly and is better (and cheaper) than buying the leaves with it attached, and can easily be replaced if it gets creased. I will try to take some snaps of a before and after of an album I am doing up this weekend and post them on here.
All best
PS. I don't bother with the double linen hinged leaves as they are hellish expensive and the "Graduate" leaves work just fine, are way cheaper and are top quality acid free 150 lb paper. TC.

I've managed to pick up some old (but new) Godden DeLuxe albums for under $100 each (with slipcases and pages). They are beautiful. As Terry says, the double linen pages are astoundingly expensive, so try not to get hooked on them. I've found enough 2nd hand pages to keep my for a while.
Here is the template I made up for my layouts. The numbers are the distances right and left of the center of the page where I have the guides set in Powerpoint (which I use for layouts). The grid size is the sum of the two numbers left and right - 7.15" and top and bottom - 8.73"
When I print the pages, I drop out the grid and the images and just print the boxes and other additions.
Here are a couple of pages I've done to give you an idea of what you can put on a page:

Thanks for all the info on the binders and pages. I'll be sticking with the blank Scott specialty pages for now, although I may get some of the quadrille ones as well.
Looking forward to seeing some pics of what you've done.
Thanks for the images, those pages look just about perfect (I'm a sucker for borders
You have a beautiful and informative layout, I hope to have a similar arrangement with my Philadelphia related Revenue material.

I'm sure you'll do great with whatever you pick. My only advice would be to keep it simple. When I plotted how I would attack these albums, I decided that I wanted to match the look of a mid 50s-60s typewriter style of page. My inspiration was actually the the Phillips collections in the British Postal Museum.(
Here's a link to a sample page:
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Thanks for the links, some great examples there. I too like the old school typewriter look. Simple is definitely the way I'm gonna go, let the stamps be the focal point.
A question on printing, do you print at home or at an office supply store like Staples?

Cold Start Death Noise
I'm in the Midwest and when it drops below 10 degrees I'm getting a really loud cranking noise as it turns over. It still starts but sounds horrible.
Jeep is 05 4.7L
Any help appreciated.
