When I first started writing, I made books out of construction paper folded in half, and set my stories on them in crayon.
I remember the first was a rather dramatic family saga. The baby's name was Mark, after my dad, and he was quite pleased until I informed him that the cat ate the baby. It's true what they say: you shouldn't upset the writer, though I couldn't tell you now what my dad had done for his namesake to warrant such a fate. Anyway, the family rescued the baby Little Red Riding Hood style – I suppose my dad had redeemed himself, or maybe I just felt bad – and they all lived happily ever after.
I don't remember the other stories, just that there were others, and I shared them with everybody, even people from church.
One day I came to my desk in our family's dining/school room and discovered my work in progress all cut up, courtesy of my younger brother. He swore up and down that it was an accident, and he didn't know it was my book, but I'm pretty sure he did it because he was mad at me about something, because how could he not have known it was my book? Anyway, my mom gave me a notebook to start writing my stories in, so there would be no doubt in the future what was my book and what was just paper with my writing on it.
It was blue, and I still have it, although there is a story missing, because I ripped it out and gave it to someone as a present. I continued on writing in the notebooks for some time. After the blue one, there was a red one (which I no longer have), and after the red one, a green notebook (which is safely kept with the blue now). Judging by the quality of the stories remaining in the blue and green notebooks, the missing story and the stories in the red volume were probably not any good, and that's how I can live with the fact that I don't have them anymore.
I went back to my book-making ways, however, when my family got this extra long paper that was perfect for folding in half and writing stories on. I was working on a historical fiction piece about my great-grandma, Evelyn, for whom I was named, and how she met my great-grandpa, whose name was actually Gilbert, but in the story his name was Ernest, because one of my brothers told me that was his name. (And if you're seeing the Bert and Ernie connection there, that's exactly what he was going for.) I was quite smitten with my little romance, but one day, I came to my desk and couldn't find my story. I looked everywhere, interrogated everyone, and while describing what it looked like, my oldest sister confessed to throwing it away while cleaning a few days prior. It was gone, and I was devastated.
My mom reprimanded me for not writing in the notebooks, and I came to accept my own responsibility in the matter. Besides, the story wasn't that good anyway, and this was a good opportunity to improve upon it.
So I did. I gave most of the drafts of that story away, and I only have one left. I was still into dramatic family sagas, but I replaced man-eating cats with rabid squirrels, town murderers, and Adolf Hitler. Again, the draft I have is not good by any sense of the imagination, and I tell myself the other drafts probably weren't either.
I kept writing. I can't tell you what, because I don't have any of my childhood and teen writings except what exist in the blue and green notebooks, and one other that I had the good sense to keep.
This time, it wasn't one of my siblings. It was me. And this is why.
My younger siblings and I were part of a homeschooling acting group. Trust me, it's not as glamorous as it sounds: at our largest, there might have been ten of us, and we put on a grand total of two plays before things fell apart. Anyway, we wrote our own scripts. I say "we," but both plays we performed were written by my friend, and my contributions were perpetually shot down. (Which is not to say I didn't make them anyway). When I finally wrote a play, it had to go through my friend's mom for approval, and it was rejected on the basis of "no offense, but it doesn't have a point."
I accepted that.
My older sister (who knew I had written the play) asked me when we'd be performing it. I explained that we wouldn't be performing it, and why. So she read the play, and she didn't see the problem: it was the story of a Depression-era family whose father was away looking for work, and they took on boarders so he could come home for Thanksgiving. She thought it was good, but she was my sister, and you know, she's supposed to say that, so I was still not buying it.
Then, my sister got my mom involved.
My mom told me I would not be doing any more plays with this acting group. In my thirteen-year-old mind, that didn't make any sense: I felt like I was being punished. After all, my play wasn't that good, and it didn't need to be that big of a deal. For her, though, it was the principle of the matter: she'd never vetted my friend's scripts, and I was every bit the writer my friend was. (According to her. I did not have this opinion of myself.)
After that, I couldn't leave it alone – the disparity between the responses to my script. The advice I got at every turn was to let it go. But I was thirteen, and I didn't know what that meant.
One day, I got so tired of thinking about it – got so tired of seeing the stacks of notebooks full of stories and wondering if they were any good, if I was any good – that I piled them all up and hauled them out to the trashcan all by myself, and deleted dozens of stories off of my computer. I kept the blue notebook, because it was my very first, and I kept the green notebook, which is surprising to me now, because the stories in it aren't very good.
And that's how I let it go. Out of sight, out of mind.
I wrote a little bit after that. I wrote a short story called The Little Glass Slippers, which truly isn't any good, but I kept it because my dad edited it, and he liked it enough when it was finished. I started several dramatic family sagas during this time, but never finished them, and all but one ended up in the trash. I even wrote a few mysteries, also trashed.
My dad wanted me to pursue an English major in college, but I refused, because I wasn't really even writing at the time, and I couldn't imagine wasting the money or energy on something I'd come to loathe.
I blogged sporadically throughout college (first on Xanga, then I came to WordPress). It was therapeutic, not because I had a lot of followers, but because I didn't. I could write what I needed and not have to worry (too much) about response.
Until I did.
I ended up deleting those blogs, too.
Well, I've been writing again for three years, I still struggle with this habit of throwing things out. (Usually not literally, anymore, since most of my work has been on the computer).
I've thrown away and deleted papers and stories and poems and ideas.
And I've told myself that it doesn't matter, because they weren't any good anyway.
And if they weren't any good, I'm not actually missing anything.
I went through my writing box again this summer, perusing the blue and green notebooks and laughing at my younger self. I know I'll always keep those around. Being in the middle of edits on The Field, and somewhat sick of looking of looking at it, I bypassed the folders of old drafts. I'll get rid of those later.
Then, I came across a story I started writing when I was fifteen, The Sisters Woods. Another family saga – so I say I started writing it when I was fifteen, but really, I've been writing this story since I've been writing stories. As I flipped through the pages, even of the earliest drafts, I saw something promising, and dare I say it, good. I saw things that made me glad I kept it these eleven years, when I've rid myself of so much else.
It made me think, ever so briefly, What have I trashed that may have held promise?
Then, my laptop breathed its last. Nothing was backed up. I lost my 90,000 word WIP, A Year with the Baptists. I lost 3,000 words of a science fiction concept, Update, that I'd been playing with. I lost numerous short stories and poems.
And I tried, guys. I tried telling myself that my writing wasn't that good anyway, that it was a good opportunity to start fresh with A Year with the Baptists. I tried telling myself it was my fault and I deserved it for being a klutz and not backing anything up ever.
But I couldn't get around it: It didn't matter that my meant nothing to anybody else, because it meant something to me. Suddenly, the distance I'd worked so hard to keep between myself and my writing closed.
I felt empty, empty, empty because I am missing a lot. I felt angry at myself for how I handled my teenage problems (in what universe did I think destroying my writing would solve anything?), and how other people handled me. I felt sad because I spent so much time trying to forget this part of myself.
Some days, I'm still dealing with these things because I've only just now given myself permission to feel these things and grieve my losses.
It's your writing. There is real hurt in the world. I'm going to hear that dozens of times this week, I know. To me, this has really hurt. Dealing with my pain is not intended to deny or lessen pain anywhere else.
And while this post specifically addresses my journey as a writer, you've got to know it stands for the story of every relationship I've ever been in. It stands for the story of never believing I'm good at anything, not just writing. It stands for the story of me learning how to grieve and cope in healthy, non-destructive ways.
This summer, I had a dream. I was in my family's old house, where I started the nasty habit of throwing my work out. The house was empty, except for a box in the closet. I opened the box, and inside were the notebooks and papers containing all of the stories and poems and ideas I'd thrown away over the years. I just sat and cried happy tears.
Then I woke up, saddened with the knowledge that such a box doesn't actually exist. Not here and now, anyway. Perhaps God has it somewhere tucked away for me in eternity, outside of time and space. Or maybe I just need to grieve it – really, grieve it – and it will no longer haunt me.
I don't know.
But I am hopeful that where I am at in this story is not the end, it's a turning point.

new.txt, where they are similar but different. You run:
gvim -d old.txt new.txt
You should see the two files side-by-side. Groups of lines that
are identical are folded. Differences are highlighted. Each
vertical split has a fold column (grey by default) down the
left side.
Does the above work? When you follow Tony's advice, do you see
the same fold column in each split? If not, you need to switch
to the split missing the fold column and type ':diffthis'.

two file is better because Vim folds lines that are the same.

We all would love to have a little extra cash on hand for emergencies. Saving up that cash can be a challenge – but with a little effort, that challenge can be met.
Some debts are worth assuming, but others exert a drag on retirement saving.

As you approach your "third act," does it need to be adjusted?

For rookie detective constable Fiona Griffiths, her first major investigation promises to be a tough initiation. A young woman and her six-year-old daughter have been found brutally murdered in a squalid flat, the single clue a platinum credit card belonging to a millionaire businessman who died in a plane crash six months before. Fiona, however, has secrets of her own. She is still recovering from a crushing psychological breakdown, and the feelings that haunt her are constantly threatening to undermine the mask of normality she has learned to wear.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
The second novel featuring recovering psychotic DC Fiona Griffiths opens with as intriguing a pair of murders as you could imagine. Firstly, part of a human leg is discovered in a woman's freezer, bagged up like a joint of pork. Other similarly gruesome discoveries follow throughout a cosy Cardiff suburb, with body parts turning up in kitchens, garages and potting sheds. And while the police are still literally putting the pieces together, concluding that they all belong to a teenage girl killed some ten years earlier, parts of another body suddenly start appearing.
When DC Fiona Griffiths says 'yes' to her policeman boyfriend, it's an affirmation that she wants finally to put her psychological breakdown behind her, and become a resident of 'Planet Normal' like everybody else. But she still can't resist the challenge of an undercover policing course, and finding it remarkably easy to assume a new identity, she comes top of the class. So when an ingenious payroll fraud starts to look like the tip of a huge criminal iceberg, Fiona is selected to infiltrate the fraudsters' operation.
A marine engineer who tumbles off a cliff path on a windy night. A burglary where everything taken was returned by the thief. The suicide of a man in love with life. An accident, a mystery, an unexplained tragedy. And nothing at all to connect them. Until, that is, Detective Constable Fiona Griffiths, searching for something - anything - to take her mind off the tedious job of evidence cataloguing she's been assigned to, starts to wonder if all three incidents are not quite what they seem.
When the body of a young woman is found in an old 'dead house' - the annexe where the dead were stored before burial in medieval times - of a tiny Welsh church, it seems that past and present have come together in a bizarre and horrifying way. For DC Fiona Griffiths, the girl - a murder victim whose corpse was laid out with obvious tenderness - represents an irresistibly intriguing puzzle, given Fiona's unusual empathy with the dead.

Sunrise to sunset, the day becomes night, a constant of the Earth,
When the moon's spectacle is over a brand new day is given birth.
An ever the same process it is, from light to dark, and back to light once more,
A cycle of shimmering beauty to gloomy shadows, a cycle no one can ignore.
Two celestial powers, circling us and giving us their absolute best
For an eternity this is what happens, neither one will stop to rest.
For without them we'd have nothing in the world, a truly cruel fate.
And yet, the process of light to dark is one that any soul can relate.
There's dark and light in all our lives, much like dusk to dawn
Like with slumber at night, we attempt to avoid the dark until it's gone.
Darkness is inevitable in our process, though we avoid it with all our might
But staying strong and continuing on, you will once again witness a light,
We all have darkness in our lives, it's sadly true, but it is nothing to fear,

Some days you just need a break. And you know what, that's okay! Breaks help with writing block or just crabby moods.
I'm already took my second break for July in my 2k a day half year sprint. I didn't expect to take the second one so early this month, but I just needed it.
And that's perfectly fine. It just means I'll write better when I get back into the WIP and am feeling better.
How often do you need break? Do you take too many/not enough? When I don't take breaks I look like this...

NYC Subway Strike
TWU disses its own future members
Published on December 19, 2005 By
I am not exactly all for the strik, quite frankly.l The 33,000 to 35,000 people who work for Transit get paid pretty well actually. There is nothing wrong with a base pay of 30,000.
When I took the test for Conducter, i was amonst almost 1000 people trying to get in. Trust me, those people aren't trying to get those jobs because they don't pay well.
Then there is over time.
The MTA wants them to pay 1% of their medical... so what? 1%? Give me a break here!
The TWU doesn't like the 1%, or that new hires get less options than current members. Personally I find no problem with getting less benefits mostly because the benefits being given is still pretty good.
haning the Queens bus lines out to ry is sucha cop out its not even funny. Those 'members' will end up paying for it not only now, but inthe future when they join the MTA is employees (from what I heard, many of those Queens line employees will be starting over once they become part of the MTA)
I wonder why they made them strike, but left the rest of NY out? Maybe because they union leaders would have went to jail once the strike started? Or maybe the million dollar fines?
I supposse that the rest of the union will go on strike Tuesday at 12:01AM right? I'll believe it when i see it. The TWU is willing to let 'almost' union members to loose money and hurt them and their families finacially for the next so many days while the rest of the real union won't be striking until who knows when.
What a way to treat your own members. How exactly does this help getting a better deal for the REST of the union is seemingly lost in my mind. Will they strike at 12:00 Tuesday? Not likely I bet. I'm sure they will pick another date after some 'progress' in the talks.
Very good TWU. If you don't go on strike, I know that if I do join the ranks of the MTA that they are willing to sacifice a few instead of having what is called a union that includes everyone.

Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: Jerry Treiman)
Thanks all,
The advice is invaluable and it now looks like I am on the hunt --long term--for a fork and escape wheel for my 1892 Vanguard 23j. I understand that these are now very difficult parts to obtain.
I take it that I will experience the same difficulty if I am to try to restore the 1892, 17j Riverside movement I have just acquired which is missing its fork and escape wheel. Or with this model will I have a wider choice of available replacement parts than the 23j Vanguard? That is any of the other 17 or 19 j versions of this model.
I bought the riverside movement along with another 19j Vanguard movement, which is also missing its fork and escape wheel, as I wanted the Regulator arm off the Vanguard to finish another project. The Riverside was a bonus and if not restorable (which would be a pitty) I am more than content to have it as a "gap" filler in my 1892 display box.
Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: AllanB)
Glad to see you're looking on the positive side Allan The movements aren't complete but they are quite nice and I've known a few people over the years who collected movements not for parts, but for their collection as you intend to do with those movements.
My parts arrived today and I've got the regulator arm on the bridge.
I was a bit frustrated with myself as I couldn't get the hairspring stud back onto the bridge. It took about an hour before I realized I didn't have the screw out far enough for the stud to pass it. After moving the screw out a bit more the stud went home correctly and everything worked out.
The index pins were a bit close together so I opened them slightly and they appear to be about 1 1/2 spring thickness apart and all looks good.
I'm always worried about doing anything around the hairspring so I'm happy this went well. The arm isn't the right colour but it is the correct size and it works so I'm very pleased
The case was heavily brassed so I used silver polish to clean it up. Since I don't plan to carry this watch I'm going to leave it in the original case. It's a nice swing out dustproof case with a threaded nut holding washers underneath.
It's wound set and running now and I'm going to see how the time keeping is.
A big thank you to everyone who helped me with this project
Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892!
Looking at my pictures I just noticed the meantime screws are screwed out about half way. Will this effect time keeping?
I'm going to let the movement run for 24 hours dial up and see how the time keeping is.

Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: Paul Raposo)
The meantime screws are part of the "adjusted" procedure the watch went through at the factory. Do not alter them unless you know exactly what your doing.
You say the regulator arm is the wrong colour, I've only seen ones the same colour as yours.
As I understand it the "index pins" as you call them should be parallel. As it is it may bind when adjusted.
Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: rolandantrobus)
Hi rolandantrobus, thanks for your post
From what I've seen online the Vanguard watches had gold washed arms rather than nickle. Some even had gold washed screws.
Doing some research here on the forum I found the meantime screws at each end of the balance arms can be adjusted for rate, so I decided to screw both in all the way.
Before I did, the movement was losing 13 seconds per hour dial up with the regulator centered. After moving the screws in, over the last 10 hours the movement has gained 30 seconds in total.
I think because the regulator arm was lost whoever serviced the watch last opened up the screws to try and get some kind of regulation on the balance wheel. With the index pins now controlling the spring it was running far too slow.
A further option would be to open the screws one half turn which is suppose to take off 2.5 seconds per hour, but that's not something I'd want to do before having the movement serviced, since I don't know the service history.
I'm going to check it after 24 hours, then leave it dial down and then pendant up and see how the time keeping is.
Here's a pic of the gold arm from the fantastic Model 92 website:

By the way, great close up photos.
Good luck dialing it in.

Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: Paul Raposo)
I think the gold-washing of regulator/screws etc probably came and went during different periods of manufacture so I wouldn't worry too much about your regulator just yet, wait until you can compare your Vanguard with other similar spec ones from the same batch... even then I don't think you could be 100% sure.

Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: Paul Raposo)
It may have been the hairspring is set just a little high on the balance staff, or a slight worn balance staff pivot, or the hairspring stud was slightly high on the balance cock, all of these could cause the hairspring to rub on the underside of the balance cock when dial up. You have fitted the regulator and likely moved the hairspring stud so this might not be so obvious now but worth checking that you have good clearance. A service should identify other issues such as dirty/damaged pivots/jewels etc.
Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892!
Thought I'd post an update regarding the timing on this one.
Over 24 hours each position:
DU +54 secs
DD +72 secs
But over 12 hours:
PU -178 secs
That last one concerned me. I checked the spring and wheel and they weren't rubbing on the bridge or plate, the spring was inside the index pins and moving between the two equally and the balance motion was very good. I don't have a timing machine so I can't give specific amplitudes or errors.
I was worried about a bent pivot so I removed the balance and took the wheel off the bridge and fortunately both pivots are straight. The jewels are good too and not cracked. I also made sure the width between the index pins was two spring coils and they are parallel.
I took a few pictures to show the spring and wheel. I noticed one of the screws on the wheel is screwed in further than it's mate on the other side. That screw is on the bottom of the wheel in the PU position. I haven't touched them and posted the pics here for some opinions.
By the way, all of this is just to make there is nothing terribly wrong with the movement. I don't know the service history and don't plan to carry the watch, but I would like to have it serviced later this year.
Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: Paul Raposo)
The exaggerated error in the pendant up position suggests to me a problem with the poise. It looks like the second and third timing screws away from balance arm may not be matched which could cause such a problem.Jerry Treiman, NAWCC member since 1971

Re: Picked up a Waltham Vanguard 1892! (By: Jerry Treiman)
Thank you Jerry. I don't have a posing stand or frankly the knowledge of how to use one correctly. I will have to save this for my watchmaker. Hopefully it's something he can sort out, but that will have to be later this year.

GPs and Practice Managers in North West London are invited to register now for a series of workshops focused on improving the mental health of people living with diabetes.
A third of North West London's residents with long term conditions have a common mental health problem such as depression or anxiety. Most of them may not receive support for their emotional health. Adopting new approaches to identifying mental illness could help improve quality of life, health outcomes and generate savings.
The workshops will identify better ways to coordinate the delivery of care across individual practices, networks, federations and other health and social care providers, resulting in improved outcomes for patients.
The workshops will:
- Reduce patient attendance in urgent care centres and A&E for diabetes or mental health problems;
- Improve the use of resources and practice time, resulting in better outcomes;
- Simplify referral pathways for local community, mental health or diabetic services;
- Identify and prioritise complex patients, avoiding unnecessary admissions.
Taking place during December and January, the workshops are grouped into three areas:
- Brent, Harrow, Hillingdon;
- Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster;
- Hounslow, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham.
GPs or Practice Managers interested in joining the workshops should:

LOVE the gilded flicker! handsome!
I am glad the owls are safe! Great shots! Have a happy summer and happy birding!ReplyDelete
Don't know what all of your campus birds will do without you this summer!!! I know you will miss the owls --and they will miss you.
BUT--you have a wonderful summer planned.. Can't wait to hear more about your adventures.
Have fun and be careful.
I wish you success for your birding/cleanup project for the students. It's a wonderful thing to awaken these interests in kids. Have a great summer, and I look forward to reading about all your travels.
Full time birding sounds just great Chris. Of course you are dead right about the relationship of the owls and ravens. They have lived together as species for millions of years and I guess they know how to handle each other by now. Don't miss work too much - enjoy.ReplyDelete
Enjoy your summer! I love having the summer off as well! Hope you have some great birding experiences:)ReplyDelete
Love your idea of getting the teens to take an interest in the birds and environment. All they need is a nudge to stop being stupid.
Happy travels. I will be looking forward to pictures from central America
It's wonderful to know the owls found a way to stay in their territory but cut down on the distractions!
Happy Summer and that sounds like a great idea for the students next year.
You are the best!!!!! Enjoy your summer!!!ReplyDelete
Great idea for next school year to get the kids involved in birding and cleaning up the campus.
I look forward to what your summer travels bring, and to seeing you in the fall at the canyon.
Lookng forward to the adventures you about to have Chris, now that what must be a really taxing job is over for a short while. I don't know where you teachers get the stamina, or the patience! The idea to get youngsters involved is a good one, I do hope things go well in that department. Have a good break.ReplyDelete
There are some lovely species on your campus Chris. So glad the owlets are safe.
What a great idea to form a group of teenagers on campus next year to clean up and go birding. So important to get young people interested in wildlife.
Ciesz się wakacjami, a dzieci w nowym roku zainteresuj ptakami. Śliczne zdjęcia z pożegnania roku szkolnego. Pozdrawiam.
Enjoy your vacation, and the kids in the new year Attract birds. Cute photos of farewell school year. Yours.
Oh, I hope you DO form a birding club! What a great idea! Hope you enjoy the summer of full-time birding. :)ReplyDelete
The campus seems an interesting place, a good idea with the group. I wish you success.ReplyDelete
Go well, revel in the foreign birds. And I wish you every success with your own birds once you return.ReplyDelete
Thank you all!! It's a thrilling thing to discover new species for the first time and I can't wait to do my first real birding and reports from these areas. It might be a little overwhelming at first:) But I'm sure I'll manage.ReplyDelete
Thank you very for sharing .. Very beautiful images of these great birds .. Different to Spain nature ..
I send you a great regard from Madrid.. :-)))
You've got a great way with words, Chris, and they add life to your super photos, which just get better and better!
I hope that you are able to enjoy a really rewarding vacation, and look forward to your next posts.
Hahaha, don't ALL students think their teachers are a little bit weird?? Love your improvement idea - I bet you'll find some takers!! Have a great break!!ReplyDelete
Enjoy your birding trip Chris. Your plans for the next few months sound so exciting.
You have some clever birds on your patch, the ravens ofcourse but the owls were super smart to move to a quieter place! Your photos of the Gilded Flicker are great:=)
Glad to hear the owls are well. Your student birding group sounds like a great idea. Amazing that you have all of that on the campus. So many adventures ahead for your. Can't wait to see the posts.ReplyDelete
I love your "teenagers challenge" for next school year!
Just enjoy Guatemala, Mexico, the Grand Canyon and everything you are up too. Your agenda seems more than full!
I am with you on Team Raven! I think it's a wonderful idea you have to set up a birding group for kids - passing the torch - your enthusiasm for birds will surely be contagious :)ReplyDelete
Am I too old to be in your class? You know, you could start the year off by having the interested students watch the movie "The Big Year"...ReplyDelete
A bittersweet post....and gorgeous images tough. I know you you have seen many birds in the wash near the school that you will miss, and miss the desert too and all the spectacular birding while gone (but not the heat!):-) Can't wait to hear from you in July some time.ReplyDelete

IIUC (please correct me if I'm wrong), every time we need to emit a tie, we must ensure that it references all the base regs that were used before to restore regs from the frame (to prevent the sp adjustment past the tie from moving prior to any of these accesses) Since we have several possible uses of different registers ahead, controlled by intricate conditions, I would have thought we'd need to maintain a list of these registers, to which we add every time we use a new one to access, and which we'd use to feed the tie references. If we don't do that, I still find it difficult to see that the ties alway do reference the proper set of regs (all those used to access the frame earlier). It might just be that there's part of the logic I still haven't grasped, so ... >> FWIW, I had made an experiment at trying to extract subfunctions, >> which might help such reasoning. > I think this is worthwhile doing, but more important to try to make > the logic simpler. [...] Entirely agreed! The exercise was just aimed at helping me understand some of the logic :-) Thanks a lot for your feedback, much appreciated, Olivier

Memoires 12
Didi Allen (center) when father Simon was governor
THE AMAZING MRS. CHARLES "Didi" ALLEN:
A college education is usually considered that which is learned in textbooks, labs, and lectures. But most of what I learned in college came outside the classroom. There was the Mormon culture of Utah which was so different from the ethnic, melting pot culture in which I'd grown up. There were the trips back and forth between Pennsylvania and Utah during which I met so many Americans. I traveled using all manner of transport from driving to Greyhound to train to plane to hitch-hiking. The trips were usually leisurely and I often stopped along the way to meet locals. On one driving trip during the early morning hours in Kansas my eye caught sight of a vehicle driving erratically through mud bogs. I stopped and the car pulled up. Well it was less of a car and more of a chassis and motor; the forerunner of a dune buggy. A couple of boys about my age were just driving through mud puddles having fun. They let me take a few spins and we chatted probably for the better part of an hour. Then one looked at the sun high in the sky and said, "Well, we gotta get hayin' now." I looked confused and he added, "Gotta make hay while the sun shines." And off they went to do work the fields of their farm.
Another component of my education came courtesy of my roommate Sandy. He came to BYU on a full tennis scholarship as the result of his resume that boasted his having been the national junior tennis champion of Peru two years running. However, although Sandy excelled in the game itself, he was not what might call a gung-ho athlete. Not the kind who relished practice and followed the strict regimen required of all BYU athletes including tennis players. He could not understand why, since he was the best individual player on the team, he was not ranked #1 on the team. He could not grasp the concept of seniority and work ethic, mandatory team study hall, etc. as he had the natural ability – which he proved in practice, to defeat any other player on the team. The coach did not appreciate the analysis from a foreign, non-LDS, freshman and they had words with one another. Those words led to his either quitting or being dismissed from the team. In either event he had lots of free time after that to visit his family friend, Mrs. Allen.
Sandy and I spent lots of time together and I was fascinated at his knowledge of world history and politics. He was even better versed in American history and geography than was I and he was a FOREIGNER! Our conversations about life, politics, cultures, and so many other topics were much more fascinating and educational than most courses I took.
On weekends Sandy would often visit the home of Mrs. Allen, the wealthy Jewish woman in Salt Lake City who had helped arrange his admission into BYU. Now elderly (at least she seemed elderly to a lad of 17. She was in fact probably in her 60s at the time) and a widow, she lived on a 30+ acre estate called "Green Acres" on the outskirts of the city. As a member of the idle rich she had an onsite butler-chauffer-gardener-handyman who lived with his wife and young son in a separate house on the grounds. The family was from Mexico and although his given name was Jesus (Hay-sus), Mrs. Allen called him "Joey."
In addition to Jesus and his family, Mrs. Allen, affectionately referred to by her friends as Didi, employed two fulltime maids, both named Ann. They were referred to as Ann and Ann2. Her staff further included a full time cook, Mrs. Leather, and Arnold, an on-call butler and bartender who looked and acted the part of the proper British butler. Mrs. Allen was an interesting looking woman, barely five feet in height and less than 100 lbs., long red hair and ice blue eyes, and a cigarette either in her fingers or in her heavily lipsticked mouth during her every waking moment or so it seemed to me. The years of smoking had apparently not affected her lungs, as she lived well into her 90s and never had respiratory issues, but cigarettes had taken their toll on her skin. When we first met though she was barely sixty but her wrinkled skin and prune lines on her face created the countenance of an eighty-year old.
Didi was also nearly deaf but refused to wear a haring device of any kind. She had a special speaker constructed and wired from the television to her favorite TV-watching chair. It resembled a lamp with a flexible goose neck but instead of a bulb there was a speaker, much like one from a drive-in movie, in which the volume could be adjusted. Whenever she spoke she shouted and in response one needed to shout back at her lest she not hear.
One week Sandy invited me to accompany him on his regular weekend soiree to Green Acres. I was overwhelmed when we approached the property. I'd never been on an estate before. The grounds were like some of the smaller college campuses I'd seen in Pennsylvania and included a guest cottage, an Olympic-size swimming pool complete with men's and women's changing areas and rest rooms, a guest house, and a gigantic cat pen in which she kept dozens of stray cats, properly fed and medicated as dictated by their personal veterinarian who made regular visits to the house. Inside the main house, which was the closest thing to a Southern plantation mansion I'd ever seen, lived another half dozen or so cats and at least three dogs. Mrs. Allen might have been a tiny woman but she had a huge heart, especially when it came to helpless animals.
Also part the "Green Acres" estate was a seven-car garage; a converted barn, to accommodate her seven cars – two Cadillacs, a station wagon, a Jaguar, and three others. In addition there was a smaller shed that housed two pickup trucks and a tractor. "Joey" Kept all the vehicles washed and in good running order. A smaller, newer barn was home for three horses available for her and guests to ride the trails that weaved through the property.
Sandy and I spent most of our weekend in "his room," which was a guest suite off the kitchen in the main house. It was amazing! The suite consisted of a bedroom with two double beds, a parlor, a bathroom, and a living room complete with the first color TV I'd ever seen. Each table had fresh flowers changed daily and, as in all other rooms, a solid silver container that accommodated probably a half carton of cigarettes. We were served breakfast in the suite and took our noon meal at the pool or in the suite or in the kitchen, or anywhere we chose. I felt like some sort of aristocrat. This life was 2,000 miles and a world away from the one I grew up in the steel mill town of Clairton, Pennsylvania.
On Sunday many of the non-Mormon movers and shakers in Salt Lake City and noted visitors, as well as some open-minded Mormons, would gather for a weekly evening of mirth, food, and drink. It was, I am sure, Mrs. Allen's best replication of Colonial Hong Kong. Dinner would be served then the men would gather in small groups to smoke fine cigars and sip after dinner Brandy and other drinks while discussing issues of the world. The women would sit in small groups, drinking and playing cards. Mrs. Allen was clearly on the international "A" list and when people of celebrity came to Salt Lake to ski or for any other purpose, an evening at one of her famous parties was a must do. Her guest list during my era of visits included boxer Jack Dempsey, actors Hugh O'Brian and Gene Tierney, The Duke and Duchess of Windsor and countless other celebrities from stage, screen, athletics, the political world and Captains of Industry whose names have faded from my memory over the years.
Mrs. Allen was a collector. She collected fine things, of course, but also collected stray animals and people. Several characters came to her home to visit and never left. One such character was Colonel Charles Sweeny; founding member of the WW1 American led Eagle Squadron that was modeled after the Lafayette Escadrille of volunteers and based in Europe. Born in the late 1800s Col. Sweeny had been named a General in the Polish army and was a close friend of Ernest Hemmingway, Winston Churchill, and Major Charles Allen. Because he was a friend of Major Allen (Didi's husband) Colonel Sweeny came to the funeral of Major Allen and stayed on until he passed away some 25 years later!
Colonel Sweeny was extremely well read, especially in the area philosophy; Kant, Hegel and others. The Colonel was also a bit of a curmudgeon with a bad temper and did not suffer fools easily. His definition of fools included nearly everyone but himself. Col. Charles Sweeny was a World War I Army veteran and his passion was to assist with the Lafayette Escadrille, a rag tag group of excellent fliers whom, many believed, were the primary reason the air superiority of Germany was overcome.
A Time Magazine article describes Col. Sweeny and the Eagle Squadron, modeled after the Lafayette Escadrille as follows: "Correspondents last week discovered the beginnings of this war's equivalent of the Lafayette Escadrille, which in 1916-18 accounted for the high (then) total of 199 German planes. World War II's escadrille is the American Eagle Squadron, quietly recruited and energized by Colonel Charles Sweeney, a U. S. soldier of fortune who fought in the Foreign Legion last time. Both coasts of the U. S. and Canadian-border immigration men had inklings of Colonel Sweeney's missionary work months ago. Last week U. S. newshawks "somewhere in west England" saw two score of his protégés training in yellow-bodied Miles Master planes, almost ready to fly at the throats of the Luftwaffe. They will be ready to do so in a few weeks, when they have graduated. Then they will fly Spitfires and Hurricanes.
"The British made Colonel Sweeny a reserve captain in R. A. F. to make it all pukka. They segregated the reckless Americans, rather than salt them into the conservative R. A. F. Among them are barnstormers, crop-dusters, stunt fliers, sportsmen. Youngest is Gregory ("Gus") Daymond, 19, of California, who used to fly an ice-cream king around South America. Oldest is Paul Joseph Haaren, 48, also of California, a movie flier. Most celebrated Eagle is Colonel Sweeney's nephew, wavy-haired Robert ("Bob") Sweeney, who won the British amateur golf championship in 1937 and lately squired Barbara Hutton Haugwitz-Reventlow. Active commander is Squadron Leader William Erwin Gibson Taylor, 35, formerly of the 5th Fighting Squadron, U. S. Naval Air Corps (aboard the carrier Lexington). He joined Britain's Fleet Air Arm last year, served on the carriers Argus, Furious, and Glorious (sunk at Narvik). Most piquant Eagle name: Harry La Guardia of Hartford, Conn. (no kin to New York City's Mayor).
"Correspondents who interviewed the Eagles at their training field were curious to find out what caused them to join up. Most of the Eagles began their replies by saying, "Well, what the hell?"
Col. Sweeny continued to recruit American pilots through the early Hitler years. He was threatened with the loss of his U.S. Citizenship for his recruiting of pilots because it was in violation of American Neutrality Laws. But Col. Sweeny had a strong conviction that Hitler must be stopped so he continued to recruit even with the FBI hot on his trail. He was a remarkable and brave man!
Charles Sweeny, nephew of Col. Charles Sweeny has been described as, "...a well-heeled socialite and businessman living in London." He and his rich society contacts, most likely including Mrs. Allen, bore the cost (over $100,000) of processing and bringing the US trainees to the UK for training.

Poudding Chomeur loosely translates into Poor man's Pudding. It originated in Quebec, when a politician's wife wanted to make dessert and developed this recipe from what she had on hand, in her pantry. The original recipe consists of a cake batter that cooks in a brown sugar syrup. As many families have made this recipe, it has morphed into many different versions. Today I will share the blueberry version. We grew up on this dessert. It was a special treat when my grand parents would come for dinner. I especially loved when my Mom would make this in the summer, using fresh berries and even rhubarb. There is just something comforting about nice warm cake with a thick syrupy mixture of berries. I also love that this recipe is so versatile and quite easy to make, since it utilises everyday pantry items. One of these never last long in this house and it makes me proud to share some of my family's heritage with my children.
Poudding Chomeur aux Bleuets
3 C fresh or frozen blueberries (if using frozen, thaw to room temp)
1 C sugar
1/3 C butter, melted
3/4 C sugar
1/2 C milk (more if needed)
11/2 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
In a 8x8-inch baking dish, mix blueberries with 1 C of sugar. Set aside. In a mixing bowl combine melted butter, 1 C sugar and vanilla. Add in flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk, until a smooth batter forms. Add more milk, if batter is too thick. Pour batter over berry mixture and smooth out as much as possible. Bake in a 350 degree oven, for 45 minutes to an hour, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake, comes out clean (make sure to insert the toothpick quite deep, to make sure the bottom of the cake is cooked through as well). If top begins to get too dark, cover with foil, for remainder of bake time. Serve warm, as is, or with fresh cream or vanilla ice cream.
For original recipe: replace berries and sugar with 1 1/2 C brown sugar, 2 C hot water and 2 tbs butter.
Raspberry version: replace 3 C of blueberries with 3 C raspberries.
Strawberry Rhubarb version: replace blueberries with 2 C fresh strawberries, chopped and 1 C rhubarb, chopped.

All day long I heard it. Calling to me, out of the dark, from beyond the frost. From behind a closed door, I heard a faint, velvety, sweet and delicious voice…calling my name. Where was it coming from? What was it? What could it want? Why did it torment me so?
Why did its dessert, dulcet tones appeal to me today, out of all days? Was it the 3-day old tofu salad I had for lunch, which left me unsatisfied and disgusted? Was it the handful of BBQ soy crisps which left me bitter and resentful? When I came home – hungry, tired, cold – knowing I had nothing to look forward to other than exercise and a 'healthy' dinner: is that when the cries became irresistable?
It was then that I knew: from the winter of my freezer, came the call of the one thing that could ease my winter of discontent: a two-month old chunk of frozen dark chocolate. It was time for its digestive destiny to be fulfilled.
And now, I hear its cries no more. It's as Oscar Wilde said: "The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it."

Cricket West Indies president, Dave Cameron, has made it clear that left-hander Darren Bravo will remain sidelined from selection until he removes the offensive tweet which resulted in his sending home ahead of the Tri-Nations Series in Zimbabwe last November.
Speaking in a candid interview with Massy Insurances Line and Length Network, Cameron said the tweet – labelling him 'a big idiot' – was the kind of behaviour CWI was not prepared to accept, noting that Bravo needed to face up to this reality.
"Let me make it very clear: what Darren Bravo has to do first and foremost is take down the tweet. Every day that tweet stays up, it is an infraction," Cameron reiterated.
"Secondly he needs to accept that he's done something wrong and then we can move forward from there."
He added: "But we've decided as an organisation – it came up at the board meeting – [that] we'll put it to the disciplinary committee, let them have a look at it and determine if there is further action to be taken and how that will go. We'll move it from there."
Controversy erupted last November after CWI announced the 28-year-old Bravo had declined a central contract for the period up to September 30, 2017.
It emerged subsequently that Bravo, one of the most experienced members of the Test squad, had rejected the offer of a Grade C contract, a downgrade from his previous contract. CARIBBEAN NEWS SERVICE

The Wandering History of vagary
In the 16th century, if you "made a vagary" you took a wandering journey, or you figuratively wandered from a correct path by committing some minor offense. If you spoke or wrote vagaries, you wandered from a main subject. These senses hadn't strayed far from their origin, as vagary is probably based on Latin vagari, meaning "to wander." Indeed, in the 16th and 17th centuries there was even an English verb vagary that meant "to wander." Nowadays, the noun vagary is mostly used in its plural form, and vagaries have more to do with unpredictability than with wandering.
Origin and Etymology of vagary
perhaps borrowed from Latin vagārī "to wander, roam" — more at 2vagabond

White House Says Obama Still Wants To Close Guantanamo Bay Prison
WASHINGTON — President Obama still wants to close the controversial prison at Guantanamo Bay Cuba despite a lack of support in Congress or efforts by military officials to actually expand the facility, deputy White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Wednesday.
Obama made closing GITMO one of the signature policy priorities of his first run for office, promising to shutter the facility that has become a symbol of the nation's fight against terrorism.
"I can tell you that the administration remains committed to closing the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay," Earnest said at the White House briefing. "Progress has been made under this and the previous administration, but given the legislation that Congress has put in place it's going to take some time to full close the facility."
Obama did try to close the detention facility for terrorist suspects early in his first term, but his efforts were met with stiff resistance in Congress. The most recent news about GITMO has been about Defense Dept. calls to expand the prison there.
The reiteration of Obama's commitment to closing GITMO came amid a discussion of hunger strikes at the detention facility that have drawn new international scrutiny to the prison. Earnest said the administration is keeping an eye on the situation.
"The White House is closely monitoring the hunger strikers at Guantanamo Bay," he said.

Businessworld magazine has announced the elevation of Gurbir Singh to Executive Editor. Prior to taking over this role, Singh was Senior Associate Editor at Businessworld for seven years.
From 2005 to 2007, Singh was Media Editor at Hindustan Times. From 1988 to 2005, Singh was Assistant Corporate Editor at The Economic Times.
Annurag Batra, Chairman of Businessworld said, "Gurbir fills in rather iconic and big shoes. After all driving BW editorial is a great role. Having spent 7 strong years at BW, Gurbir knows the system and the edit function well. Like is with anyone who steps into a new role, Gurbir will grow well, strong and sure in his new assignment. He has led the last two issues with aplomb and they both have been so well received...near sold out. It doesn't need stressing that he will lead perhaps a great editorial unit and team. And a team that is growing by leaps and bounds as each day goes."

Geoengineering: Frequency Transmissions And Weather Warfare…(Must Read!)
Dane Wigington
May 9, 2017
Frequencies play a profound part in the unimaginably miraculous and complex web of life. The impacts or frequencies (and the effects they can create) are truly beyond comprehension as the very profound 3 minute video below clearly reveals.
What happens to the web of life when the human race chooses to relentlessly bombard it with massively powerful and varied radio frequency / microwave transmissions? What happens to the human body that is mostly made of water? How can very high powered RF / microwave transmissions be used by the climate engineers to manipulate cloud cover, climate, and precipitation? Though many mainstream power structure controlled "science" institutions are paid to pacify populations in regard to the dangers posed by radio frequency / microwave transmissions, what conclusions would logic and deductive reasoning dictate in regard to the dangers of such transmissions? Whatever one chooses to believe (or not), the impacts to the biosphere from radio frequency / microwave transmissions is shocking and undeniable as the NASA satellite images below reveal.
