The Granite School Board unanimously approved a 2.54 percent property tax increase Thursday night.
A resident with a home valued at just over $222,000 — the district average — will pay $22.24 more per year.

|Post a Comment
Four residents spoke in favor of the increase during the meeting, and no one spoke against, district spokesman Ben Horsley said on Friday.
The tax hike won't fund new initiatives, but will enable the district to continue supporting the district's 68,100 students.
The majority of the new revenue, $3.7 million, will pay for three teacher training days, which were cut from the district during the recession that began in 2008, Horsley said.
"This is a priority for our board to increase teacher quality," he said. "It's clear that improved instruction on the part of our teachers goes to enhanced academic outcomes."
The district previously had five paid teacher training days.
The budget calls for continued closure of the Mill Hollow Outdoor Education Center program, but Horsely said the district is looking into additional revenue sources to open it again next summer.
Utah lawmakers no longer allow school districts to impose property tax levies for recreation, and funding for the center dried up, said Horsley.
The closure saves the district about $350,000 a year, Horsley said, although it will still pay about $150,000 a year to maintain the facilities under an agreement with the U.S. Forest Service.

30 Premium WordPress Blog Themes
Blogging has been transformed into a whole new level. Because of the advent of newer ways to optimize the blogging experience, the art of blogging is now becoming a great way to share what you know, feel and experience.
Of course, one of the things that attract regular subscribers to a blog is its visual appeal. With content being the pinnacle of must-haves in a blog, visuals come in second. Without a very visually appealing design, a blog would just be, as WordPress says, Just Another WordPress Site.
That being said, we collected 30 of the best and premium WordPress blog themes. I assure you that these themes are the most trendy and savvy themes you would see. Here they are!Read More
What is the Best WordPress Framework to Use?
Designing a WordPress theme can be very time-consuming, not to mention difficult and stressful. But there are some that use a Theme Framework. Before having ideas on what the best WordPress Framework, let's begin by understanding what a Framework is.
Over the years, WordPress theme developers have created schemes and processes to make their work faster and easier. Some start by creating an HTML template and then build the WordPress code around it. This can prove to be very stressful, noting that you have to re-write codes from HTML to PHP, but others just find that easier.
On the other side of the moon, designers start with the rudimentary WordPress codes and build their design around that. For them, this increases the speed of the coding process because they just type in a language that WordPress automatically understands.
And finally, there are those who, in the most efficient way possible, start with a Theme Framework.Read More
Officiating an Office: Tweaking Your Workplace Productivity
Workplace \work●place\ noun : a place where work is done.
The Merriam Webster definition says it all: A workplace is basically the spot where you do your 'thing'. This only means that a workplace is the magical place where you do your stuff. In this area, you enter into the zone, be productive, creative, technical and well, uh… a little less distracted. Of course, a workplace won't be a workplace if you will play around and be lazy (might as well call it laze-place). How can you improve workplace productivity?Read More

Cherry on Top: Cherry Framework Review
WordPress theme frameworks are overwhelmingly available and famous nowadays because most designers find them easy to use, functional yet fully customizable. Using child themes that are supported by the parent framework, 'personalized' themes have become more attainable. There is a new framework in town- the Cherry Framework. This article is basically a Cherry Framework review.
Now, most theme frameworks come in premium versions, meaning, you have to pay some bucks just to get your WordPress site personalized. However, the spending doesn't end there. After buying your framework, you would still be troubled by the child themes that you are going to install. Most of these child themes are not free.
TemplateMonster unleashed a new product called Cherry Framework, a theme framework that would suit all your personalization needs. The best part of this particular framework is it is free, along with some child themes!Read More
11 Minimalist Office Setups
Less is more
This quote is becoming more sensible, especially for designers who have adapted the minimalist design approach. Over the years, minimalism, or the act of putting away irrelevant things to make space for the relevant ones, has become a regular part of every modern design principle. As web designers, we too, practice the same maxim. In fact, we even want to make this philosophy for living our lives. We strive to achieve such state that we even want our office setups or work space to reflect what we believe in.
For one, having a minimalist design in your office setup has its advantages:
- It makes us focus more on 'work' than goofing around
- It lessens the distraction and makes you think that you have fewer tasks to accomplish
- It is beautiful to the eyes
- You can actually make a small room bigger

UPDATE: A man who has Ebola went bowling in Williamsburg last night
285 Kent booker/manager on Vice Media and the closing of Williamsburg's clubs
It's no secret that Vice Media is expanding and soon will take over every part of South Williamsburg not owned by or J Crew or Two Trees. Still, the owners of the clubs that have been displaced by Vice (Death By Audio, Glasslands, 285 Kent) have been very tight-lipped about why they are shuttering. We reached out to Glasslands yesterday and haven't heard a peep. What's with all the secrecy?
Gawker tracked down Ric Leichtung, the guy who ran the now defunct 285 Kent and got an answer:
The landlord's been waiting for a pay day like this for years. The landlord's made little headway on bringing the building up to code to host legitimate businesses, opting for these really short term 2 or 3-year commercial leases to illegal loft spaces and quasi-legal establishments like 285 Kent so that the landlord could easily kick them out or wait for their leases to expire and cash in when they found a buyer.

Zagat says Paulie has New York's best pies
I love Paulie's so I was happy to see this – even though Totonno's and Roberta's have a slight edge in my opinion. Hopefully, the foot traffic the rating is sure to inspire won't be as annoying as what we see outside of that overrated tourist trap Grimaldi's. From Gothamist:
The 30,592 diners who participated in this year's Google-owned Zagat Survey have spoken and declared that Greenpoint pie purveyor Paulie Gee's fires up the city's top pizza. In the 2015 guide, which was released today, the eaters lauded the "destination-worthy"—that's called "borough-shaming," Zagat!—pizzeria's "one-of-a-kind" toppings and Paulie's hands-on service as their favorite pick of the city's dense pizza population. Following closely behind Paulie's funky pies were the offerings at Lucali in Carroll Gardens, Juliana's in Dumbo, Totonno's of Coney Island and then Bushwick's Roberta's.
If the Brooklyn theme was apparent in the pizza category, it's with good reason. The borough saw a 28% increase in the number of eateries reviewed, with 340 establishments making this year's list. Of those, Williamsburg's St. Anselm was ranked best of the borough, calling the steakhouse "cool" but "unpretentious" and saying that it has some of "the city's best" beef. Other top borough picks included SriPraPhai, a Thai eatery in Queens; Roberto's Italian in the Bronx; and Denino's Pizzeria, taking home top honors for Staten Island.
More information about Paulie Gees here. Oh and nice URL, Gothamist: burnt_ashy_pizza_ftw.
Radio Bushwick cancels all CMJ shows and closes (hopefully) temporarily
Yesterday, Radio Bushwick announced that it would be temporarily closing due to "landlordly legal-biz." Their scheduled CMJ shows have been moved to Lot 45 in Bushwick. Brooklyn Mag speculates that the abrupt closure is a result of building violations and thinks the club's future looks grim:
We took a peek at the building's DOB records and found four violations from the past year that might have something to do with the venue's closure.
The first two were issued back in July for an illegal conversion of a manufacturing building "to commercial bar and cabaret with music." The DOB lists two more violations issued in September, both for "illegal occupancy."
The latest one was dished out on September 24th by an emergency response team in conjunction with the super scary sounding NYPD-organized, M.A.R.C.H (Multi-Agency Response to Community Hotspots), AKA the Dance Police, Party Poopers, Dangler Death Dealers, et al.
Yeesh. Sounds like the party might be over.
Fingers crossed that they reopen soon!
TOKiMONSTA's CMJ Show is Tomorrow, 10/22
In case you missed TOKiMONSTA's show at LPR earlier this month, you've got a second chance to see the West Coast glitchhop turned trap artist tomorrow, 10/22. The amazingly talented Jennifer Lee will headline MeanRed's AM Only CMJ Showcase at Williamsburg's Output along with Ben Pearce, LXURY, Saint Pepsi and SPAZZKID. Hot off the release of her newest album Desiderium, TOKi is taking a break from her headlining tour with Skrillex to show a little love in the city. Her performance is energetic, fun and delivers all of the bass drops you need on a Wednesday night.
If you're looking to get down with some of the best up and coming electronic artists, this is the CMJ showcase to hit. You can still snag tickets at the second GA release price of only $20!
New slasher just in time for Halloween
Leaves are turning, apples are ripening, Starbucks is making tons off pumpkin-ish flavored lattes and endless amounts of retro horror films fills my Saturdays. The bountiful number of Halloween and Friday the 13th sequels make it easy to not repeat a gore-filled film lineup, but I have almost run out of classics. Now, a new old-school style horror film just might make my October rotation.
LAKE NOWHERE premieres this Saturday, October 25th, at Cinema Village at 11:15 p.m. The 80s style slasher showcases the ever-so predictable plot of a group of friends spending some time out in the seemingly desolate woods when they get *surprise!* massacred by a "Masked Maniac".

I ordered by phone, 2 of the winter editions. How long does it take to get them?
I ordered a couple of the Winter 2013-2014 copies of your magazine. How long does it take to get them?
My co-worker has the subscription for the stained glass quarterly but she now needs 5 more copies of the magazine for Winter 2013. Apparently it would be quite unnecessary to have five more annual subscriptions. Is there any link for buying individual copies of stained glass quarterly? Thank you!

I'm looking for an article on Grisaille glass, a particular style of stained glass, written by Robin Neely.
Didn't see it in last issue. Could I have a heads up? (Or down) if such an article is unknown to you? Thank you. Henry Null, lover of most stained glass I've seen.
I recently purchased a beautiful contemporary stained glass panel and I am trying to identify the artist. It is from the late 70's or early 80's and is of museum quality. I am a novice to the world of stained glass and wondering if there is a forum for posting a photograph to see if your readers may know who designed and produced it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I just subscribed to your magazine. The other day I was on a site that showed contents of a number of back issues. The articles I was interested in were something like "Stained Glasss for Dummies, Parts 1 & 2? I would like to get the appropriate issues. Could you let me know which ones they are. Thank you.

I would like to give a gift subscription, but would like to pay by check.
Is this possible?

Large park sites, clean grounds, has 5% old trailers that need to go soon. Lots of no see ums, they are spraying to try and control them. Major problem is with DOGS- people seem to use extremely long leashes on their dogs, dogs are walked under your RV- Urinate on your car wheels - even saw a park employee let her dog go on a classic car wheels several times. We love dogs but people need to see the others side- I do not appreciate the constant flow of dogs all day long being led by my site - using the restroom while we eat at our patio and the downwind smell from the light post and trees is terrible. They do have a nice dog walk area but dogs go where the owners take them. This is becoming a problem at most parks . people are inconsiderate - especially here and management is no better as they allow the long leases to continue without enforcement- One lady in the office even has her husband bring the dog in there for treats which she keeps in the office -it says no dogs in any building. If you read this and have dogs please think what it looks like from someone else's side at any park you visit.

Older park located at Exit 1 on the GA/FL state line. Most guests were snowbirds for the winter. Our main comment on this park is that most residents have dogs and several were running lose which is against their rules but no one stopped them and also the excessive barking. Sites are close and most have overhanging tree limbs which makes it difficult maneuvering in and out of the sites and roads. The city of St. Marys is not far from the campground. We visited the downtown area and it was very pleasant. We visited for one night as a stopover.

Lots are sold and most owners are on their lots for the winter months. Park is extremely clean, well kept and nice manicured sites. Rest rooms and laundry room very clean. Park has nice swimming pool, hot tub and tiki bar. Planned activies and Tuesday nights dinners were for $6 or $7 and very good. There is a sewage treatment plant just outside the park and when the wind blows in the right direction, that smell is carried over to the park. Another comment is the park is only 3 1/2 miles from the beaches but can take up to 90 minutes to get there. Also when you do get there, parking is very limited and expensive. The beaches are not public friendly. You have to be in a condo or apt on the beaches to be able to fully enjoy them. A river also dumps into the Gulf which made it very murky in January but started to clear by Feb. We will not return even though it is a nice park. We were there for January and February, 2006.

The sites are grassy with a concrete pad for the picnic table. The restrooms and laundry rooms are extremely clean. Most sites can handle a 38 ft rig. The sites are very spacious. The grounds are very well kept. They do have some full time residents. Our only complaint to this park is they do not have cable tv. We will most definitely return.

Extremely nice state park. The sites are concrete with blacktop drive way and very large, we have a 40 ft 5th wheel with 4 slide outs. We had no problem backing into our site and had plenty of room on both sides for the slides. They have nice pull thru sites also. The rest rooms and laundry rooms are very clean. The staff keep the grounds well manicured. We stayed here the last 2 weeks of November and will definitely return.
St Charles, Missouri
Sundermeier RV Park
[ 9/10 ]
The campground is extremely clean and well kept including the laundry and rest rooms. They do have Wi-Fi but did not use since we have our own wireless internet service. We are in the process of becoming full time RV'ers and used this park for 8 weeks while moving from our house to the fifth wheel. The sites are very spacious. We parked a truck and a car in the same site with the fifth wheel. The restaurant, Beefeaters, is extremely good. The prices range from $6.95 for an oversized hamburger and fries to $36.95 for Surf and Turf. We have tried numerous items on the menu and have nothing but good things to say about the food. Their speciality is prime rib and it is delicious. It is close to downtown historic St. Charles and 25 minutes to downtown St. Louis. The owners are very friendly and the staff at the restaurant are very personable and friendly. Families with small childen will find no playground equipment but a large playground is less than a quarter mile from the park. The campground is also very near the Katy Trail for bike riding and walking. We will be be back to this park in the spring, 2006.

but my
hands still
and my voice
isn't quite
|Michelle K., Earning Your Roar. (via notnai)
Stages of Deterioration in the Human Body
The Moment Of Death:
1. The heart stops.
2. The skin gets tight and ashen in color.
3. All the muscles relax.
4. The bladder and bowels empty.
5. The body temperature begins to drop 1 1/2 degrees Fahrenheit per hour.
After 30 minutes:
6. The skin gets purple and waxy.
7. The lips, fingernails, and toenails fade to a pale color.
8. Blood pools at the bottom of the body.
9. The hands and feet turn blue.
10. The eyes sink into the skull.
After 4 hours:
11. Rigor mortis has set in.
12. The purpling of the skin and the pooling of the blood continue.
13. Rigor continues to tighten muscles for another 24 hours or so.
After 12 hours:
14. The body is in full rigor mortis.
After 24 hours:
15. The body is now the temperature of the surrounding environment.
16. In males, the semen dies.
17. The head and neck are now a greenish-blue color.
18. The greenish-blue color spreads to the rest of the body.
19. There is a pervasive smell of rotting meat.
After 3 days:
20. The gas in the body tissues forms large blisters on the skin.
21. The whole body begins to bloat and swell grotesquely.
22. Fluids leak from the mouth, nose, vagina, and rectum.
After 3 weeks:
23. The skin, hair, and nails are so loose they can easily be pulled off the corpse.
24. The skin bursts open on many places on the body.
25. Decomposition will continue until the body is nothing but skelital remains, a process that can take a month or so in hot climates, and two months or more in cold climates.
This is actually pretty interesting.
Important for writers…helps avoid either walking in and knowing someone died moments ago "from the smell" (unless that smell is piss and shit), or finding someone dead for a week that "looks like they're sleeping."
Reblogging for reference.

Hiba Ammar writes: When my father proposed to my mother… He dedicated Surah Al-Imran, which he memorized off heart, as her "Mahr" (dowry) And when my husband proposed to me, my father told him that he would have to memorize a surah of the Quran as my mahr.. The wedding will not go on unless i'v received my mahr :) I was asked to pick one of the surahs… I chose Surah Al-Noor… For all the laws that Surah contained within it and for the fact that it seemed hard to memorize on my behalf. And before our wedding day; aside of being busy preparing for our "Newly wedded Nest"… The Quran wouldn't leave my husband's hand an entire month as he was memorizing the surah… A few day before our wedding day, my husband came to recite to my father the surah which he had completed. My father told him every time u make a mistake, u would have to start from the beginning all over again :)) My husband began reciting surah Al-Noor with his calm/gentle voice in such a "beautiful" scene which I will never forget. My mother and I would look at one another and would smile awaiting my husband to make a mistake so he would have to start all over again and by that increase my "Reward"… But my husband - May Allah bless him - had memorized the surah off heart and didn't even forget one single verse of it. Once he finished my father hugged him and said to him: "Today I shall marry my daughter to u for u have fulfilled her mahr.. and your pledge to me.." He didn't pay me a financial mahr… And we didn't buy gold worth tens of thousands… He sufficed me with Allah's words as an oath/contract between us… And the Question is…. I wonder what Surah my daughter will chose as her mahr in the future?

Police search for link in robberies
WINCHESTER -- Police are still searching for clues in two weekend robberies that they say may be linked.
At 3:47 a.m. Monday, a man entered the Bo's Express at 3612 Valley Pike, grabbed the clerk's throat and demanded that the clerk open the register, according to Capt. John Heflin with the Frederick County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect took an undisclosed amount of cash and cigarettes and fled the scene on foot. The clerk was taken to Winchester Medical Center with injuries that were not life threatening, Heflin said.
The suspect was described as white, 23-24 years old, about 6 feet, 3 inches tall with a slim build and cleanly shaven. He was wearing a gray hoodie with a blue and white striped shirt underneath, blue jeans and blue tennis shoes.
A man with a similar description committed a similar crime at 6:38 a.m. at the Handy Mart at 2605 Valley Ave. in the city.
The man was not wearing a hoodie and had tattoos on both arms, according to the Sheriff's Office.

My wife let me go to India on a cultural exchange program on one condition: Bring back plenty of presents.
True to my word, I arrived home in California after a month in Delhi feeling like Santa — my giant duffel bag full of sparkly bangle bracelets and bindis, colorful bags, patchwork quilts, woven shirts, flowing skirts, ethnic shoes, original artwork, funky pillow covers, vibrant tablecloths, handmade stationery and much more.
Best of all, these one-of-a-kind treasures cost less than $400. Although Italy and France may have great markets, the U.S. dollar goes further in India than it does in Europe. (The current exchange rate is 46 Indian rupees to $1 U.S.)
In Delhi, you can find incredible shopping in markets, from clean and orderly to dirty and chaotic. Highlights include Dilli Haat, Janpath and Chandni Chowk.
New Delhi, India's capital, is full of rich culture, historic sites and flavorful food. The city is also a jumping-off point for visiting Jaipur, where you'll find painted elephants, snake charmers and camel rides, and Agra, home of the must-see Taj Mahal.
To get around, visitors can hire a car and driver for a full or half-day; a basic car within Delhi will cost about $20 a day. (All drivers should know how to find the markets mentioned in this article.)
A motorized rickshaw, which seats two people, costs about half of what a taxi ride does. Although they are supposed to have running meters, they often don't work or aren't turned on, so agree on a price with the driver beforehand.
When planning your shopping spree, be mindful of Delhi's notorious traffic. Even a short distance can often turn into a time-consuming drive.
Of all Delhi's eclectic markets, Dilli Haat is arguably the most popular among tourists. It's also a well-known hangout for young locals.
Expect to pay 15 rupees (about 33 cents) to enter this government-run market. After buying your ticket, you'll walk through a quick security check before entering the fenced shopping complex.
Inside, craftspeople from throughout India set up shop for about two weeks at a time before moving on. Other merchants, in established shops, are there permanently.
Shoppers can stroll among the stalls to view the handicrafts, some of which are being worked on by the artisans themselves. Each of India's states has a specialty craft, such as the hand-painted king and queen puppets of Rajasthan, and they are featured alongside textiles, jewelry, sandalwood carvings and brassware.
At these shops, you can purchase Western clothing with an Indian flair, along with traditional saris for women and kurtas for men. You can even pick up pointed, elf-like shoes to go with them.
Tourist-friendly amenities at Dilli Haat include toilets and a large food court that serves fried vegetable samosas and shots of sweet chai. Another bonus is a booth where women can get temporary henna tattoos.
Bargaining here depends on the vendor. Some will sell an item for a fraction of what they first quote; others will barely budge. You're more likely to get a better deal toward the end of a merchant's two-week stint as they then are trying to shed their inventory.
As for my bargaining strategy, I typically walked away until the seller shouted out a price I was happy to pay. My best find at Dilli Haat was an oversized patchwork elephant quilt, for which I paid 1,500 rupees, about $33, half its original price.
After shopping and eating at Dilli Haat, take a short drive up Aurobindo Marg to Lodi Road and wander around the serene Lodi Gardens.
Farther north and more central in the city is Janpath, which translates to the "Path of the People" in Hindi. Shopping here includes street-side stores with a great selection, all within easy access of several large hotels. My purchases included scarves embellished with Sanskrit characters and canvas bags with prints of tigers and Hindu gods.
Not far from these stores is the Janpath street market, where shoppers walk through a security gate to enter the block-long market.
One-of-a-kind treasures in New Delhi's markets
The capital city's markets are a colorful cornucopia of all things Indian: sparkly bangle bracelets and bindis, colorful bags, patchwork quilts, woven shirts, flowing skirts, ethnic shoes, original artwork, funky pillow covers, vibrant tablecloths, handmade stationery and much more. And all at bargain prices.

Annan Waters Lyrics - Kate Rusby
Oh Annan Water's wondrous deep
And my love Ann is wondrous bonnie
I'm loathe that she should wet her feet
Because I love her best of any.
Go saddle for me the bonny grey mare
Go saddle her and make her ready.
For I must cross the stream tonight,
Or never more I'll see my lady.
He's ridden over field and fen.
O'er moor and moss and many's the mire,
But the spurs of steel were sore to bite.
Sparks from the mare's hoofs flew like fire.
The mare flew over moor and moss,
And when she's reached the Annan Water
She couldn't have ridden a furlong more
Had a thousand whips been laid upon her.
sponsored linksChorus
And woe betide you Annan Waters
By night you are a gloomy river,
And over you I'll build a bridge
That never more true love can sever.
Oh Boatman put off your boat,
Put off your boat for gold and money.
For I must cross the stream tonight,
Or never more I'll see my lady
Oh the sides are steep, the waters deep.
From bank to brae the water's pouring
And the bonny grey mare she sweats for fear.
She stands to hear the water roaring
And he has tried to swim the stream,
And he swam on both strong and steady,
But the river was deep and strength did fail,
And never more he'll see his lady.
Oh woe betide the willow wand,
And woe betide the bush and briar,
For you broke beneath my true love's hand
When strength did fail and limbs did tire

Our mission is to invest time and resources in young people in Cambodia, working with them to connect them to the skills, systems, and inspiration necessary to achieve their goals, raise standards of living, and improve the quality of education in their communities.
Our vision is a future where all young Cambodians are empowered to achieve their dreams. We believe that the changes we want to see in the world are only possible if we invest time in people and in the power of individuals to make positive changes in their communities.
Through our Education Programs, which collaborate with government-funded schools, and our Community Development Programs, working directly with children and families, PEPY strives to enable access to quality education, with a focus on leadership, creative learning and critical thinking.
We believe that sharing our activities, the challenges we face and being honest about the failures we've experienced as well as the successes will help improve the work of the industry. Stay up to date with everything that is going on in the PEPY world!
At PEPY we believe you have to learn before you can help, and that a wider understanding of Cambodian contexts and related development issues is essential before trying to support change. We are always looking to learn from new partners, projects and resources as we grow and develop.
We'd love you to be part of the team! There are many ways you can become involved with our work, whether through connecting us with people and opportunities, offering your skills to support our team in Cambodia, or donating and fundraising on our behalf to sustain our projects.

There can be too much going on in a sandwich. I picked up something called a Swiss chicken today expecting some emental and chicken and lettuce in it. On opening it there was some cheeky ham and a raw onion hiding between the bread as well. Far too many different flavours and sensations. A bit of a shock to the system when the additional flavours exerted themselves. The ham and the onion had to go.

And it feels like winter hit us in the face. Yesterday there were bare legs and sandals. Today the clouds in the lower atmosphere race across a higher atmosphere whose still clouds are tinged a threatenly dark slate. Dead leaves blow down the streets. Birds fight against the windy current. Coats, tights, closed toed shoes. Toes cramped inside complaining and painful.

Pit firing weekend in Norfolk
Invited on a pottery jolly, back in August, to visit Fran and Georg's new straw build house in Norfolk to camp, and do a pit firing in their garden. Unlike our previous jolly we didn't make anything in advance, so it was also green firing of pots that we made and dried on the day we got there. There was a high likelihood that nothing would survive the firing.
We made pinch pots out of grogged stoneware clay. Ate lunch and homemade bread. Went for a walk while everything dried. Tents were pitched. A pit was dug and filled with sawdust. The dry green pots were placed carefully (being extremely fragile at this point) and covered with more sawdust. Rolls of paper and kindling wood were placed over the top and then it was lit. Love a big fire. We sat round. Until we were tired and retired to a variety of beds in tents or in the house. A gale started - blowing in from a tail end of hurricane across the atlantic, and it rained. Never that keen on tent sleeping at the best of times but with howling wind and pumelling rain it was both cold and difficult to sleep.
The following day we extracted the pots, its a bit like an archeological dig. Most had survived. They were fired but not to anywhere near the temperature that they would be properly cured at. But - its the process that is exciting and the company that makes it always worth the trip, even when the pots are nothing to write home about in the long run.
And the scenery was beautiful and I swam in the sea with grey seals.

Passing, in the morning, along the main street of the neighbourhood in which I reside. Most of the shops are not open, the bookmakers are shut but the gaggle of drunks are collecting outside waiting.
A young man, could be handsome, walks down the road talking to himself, with a beer in one hand and holding up his jeans with the other. On the brink of losing his looks and all hope.

Hanging out
Initially we were hanging out in Spitalfields Market while Paul and Simon went to Murdocks in Hackett for some beard grooming. I'm guessing the rise of the Hoxton beard has led to a need for services to the beard. These services include massaging with oils, and moisturisers, hot towels to the face which enliven the nerves of the face (apparently), trimming and shaping of the beard, including scissors to trim length and cut throat razor to create a neater line around the neck and down the sides, topped off with some further conditioning oils and a bit of combing. And some mustache twizzling. Who knew growing a beard involved more than just standing as far away from the razor as possible.
After that we ate some lunch and then hung out at the Southbank Centre were bails was reminding me of incidents we have had on holidays where we drive. Bails and I have been on a few road trips together. She doesn't drive. I'm always in charge of the car.
There was a trip in France where we flew to Toulouse and then drive a couple of hours to a cottage we had rented in the middle of nowhere. There was one village we passed with cars parked down the whole length of the main street, and I clipped the wing mirrors of every single car. Perhaps 20 cars. Later that trip we were in our local town on a roundabout and I spotted a couple who I knew by sight from home - we would often wait for the same train at Haringay Station. I didn't know their names but felt compelled to shout out the window as we circled the roundabout "Haringey Folks" without ever stopping to say hi or see if they were freaked out or not. And when I got home I didn't pluck up courage to ask them if they heard me.
Before that was our big drive from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth and back. First getting stopped for speeding by two cops with a speedometer. To be fair I didn't know we were in a town which is why I hadn't slowed down. On stopping us one asked me, did I know how fast I was driving? And I told him the speed I was driving. Which he informed me was 20 mph over the speed limit. At which I apologised profusely and got my wallet out asking how much I owed him. And he sternly told me not to let him catch me doing it again. No officer, I won't. Thank you very much. And sped off again. We visited Addo Elephant Park. Amazing to see these huge beasts in the wild. Taking lots of pictures while not getting out of the car. Pulled up near a watering hole with quite a few other vehicles I somehow leaned on the horn that was basically the entire centre of the steering wheel. Much evil eyeing from those around us. Embarrassed, I managed to do that at least two more times. It started to rain after that and the track we were driving on turned to a mud slick. A very nice man ahead of us got out of his four wheel drive and came back to tell me how to safely drive in mud - slow acceleration, no brake if at all possible. Concentrating so hard on these instructions to get back to the car park I totally forgot about the brake and drove straight into the fence while parking.
How we laughed. And still do.

Meet me in the slug and lettuce
So I'm meeting my dad in the slug and lettuce. We commonly call it the slag and lettuce due to the old rep it had of being a bit of a meat market. So I'm chatting to my sister and she's saying, so you going somewhere with a knowing glint. Yes say I, meeting pops in the slag and lettuce. Yes she says I know I was just on the phone to him. So are you the slag and he's the lettuce? Astute my sister I think. Bitch!

Hand to arse
Outside the office a man pulls up in his Range Rover. He's meeting a woman in Mercedes Subaru. She's opening her boot. He puts his hand firmly on her arse with his fingers lining the mid seam of her shorts. Uh uh she says to him in a deep throaty sound that makes her displeasure known. He removes his hand. The boot of this flashy car opens and she gets out an old lady shopping trolley filled with cheap-arse blue plastic bags tied at the tops to keep the contents in. Under the trolley are a heap more plastic bags. Someone in Lolaks distracts the man. He jogs off over the street telling the woman he'll be back. She says after him - don't be long now, we have things to do.

Towie has a BBQ
Two very good friends of mine had a BBQ jointly for one of their birthdays and a friends birthday. They live in Essex. When I arrived I felt like I had walked onto the set of The Only Way Is Essex. All Essex accents, permanent tan, collagen lips, boys who pump iron at the gym. One of the women was footballer Frank Lampard's ex. Gradually I figured out there were sort of two halfs to the party. The women of independent means with the Essex boys and the london, northern crowd amassed from various works, and classes and old clubbing days of my friends. The women of independent means were extremely helpful - bringing out food, clearing up. The gay contingent were hilarious recounting outrageous stories of the past. And then some time after dark it felt like it was time to leave before the last train left.

Notting Hill Carnival in the Rain
Standing on the side of the road at Notting hill carnival in the rain. Waiting for the friends who invited me down to get reception and text me back. A man in orange asks me if he could stand with me under my umbrella. I spread it towards him and he takes hold of it. I don't let go. There's a silent tussel. I say I can hold it - it's my umbrella - smiling. He says I'm a man I've never had a woman hold an umbrella for me in my life, it'll feel odd if you do that. I let him have it. You won't run off with my favourite umbrella will you? I'm joking. No I have plenty of nice umbrellas at home. We stand silently for a bit. Then he introduces himself. And I introduce myself. Some youths ask if they can borrow some shade in the umbrella to make a call. I say I guess that's ok. They are giggling and excitable. They blow a kiss back as they leave. We stand together under the umbrella again. Watching floats go past with their associated dancers. Some are trailed by huge crowds of excited young people, grinding, moshing, singing, hands up, running. The DJs winding the crowd up as they go. People are wet through, rain running down their glistening skin. Ignoring the persistence of the rain. Despite all this jubilation he thinks the atmosphere is subdued in comparison to last year. Eventually I ask the man how is the best way out of here. He being local knows that Holland Park is the best bet. We stroll up the hill from Ladbrook Grove, chatting. He is still firmly in charge of the umbrella. I hook my hand in the crook of his arm. He saves me a couple of times when I slide on something wet. And then I do the same for him. Safely delivering me to the station - I thank him. I wouldn't have found it this easily without your help. He hands back the umbrella. I go home. Gentleman.

Drunk love
It's 5 in the afternoon. She's got a big boxer dog, she's thin, wearing jeans, smiling. The dog is leading her. She turns her head and shouts back at someone, in a slightly uncouth manner.
Coming up behind is a tall man looking like Saturday but not scruffy carrying a sainsburies orange bag which he has slung over his shoulder. His legs quiver as he is standing staring after her confused. He cautiously turns around on distinctly wobbly legs and staggers off.

Who's in control?
So a friend was relaying a story about telling a workman that her brother-in-law liked to be in control. The workman said oh yes I know. Since the workman had barely spoken to her brother-in-law she wondered how? The workman said that when he went to shake hands he had reached out his hand palm down and covered his hand when they grasped. As opposed to meeting as equals with thumb up or friendly with palm slightly raised.
As a woman I don't have as much experience of handshakes as I expect a man has, and frequently I think people temper their shake when they grip a woman's hand, so I'm fascinated by learning this new body-language... It's like secret coding.

Jahovah bashing
Don't know where the Jahovah stands first appeared from or even when they arrived exactly but they are there at stations handing out pamphlets if a person approaches them for one. This is not hard sell like chuggers or traditional Standard distributors. Just a lot of meek ladies and men in badly fitting suits.
On London Bridge today a man, quite possibly slightly irritated from a day in the bank bereted one of them standing quite close to her face - get off the street you are taking up space on the pavement with your pathetic pieces of paper. A man who had been waiting for the bus came over to tell the man he shouldn't be so abusive to her. The first man grabbed his hand and shook it vigorously while dragging the man towards himself. A bit of too-ing and fro-ing to the tune of there is no need to speak to her that way, with the first man saying nice to meet you in a passive aggressive manner. Finally the first man released the hand of the second man and stormed off down the street. The second man retuned to his travelling companion declaring his shock at such behaviour.
The Jahovah woman was shaking and tears formed in her eyes. Her colleague hugged her and told her, I'm guessing, about the evil that the devil bestows in people and we have to feel sorry for them for they know not what waits for them. And how she needs to develop thick skin because there's a lot like that around.

Grey seal
Sunny evening after the heavy rain and wind of the tail end of Hurricane Bertha passing over the UK. Walking on the beach near Waxham in Norfolk. Beautiful clean golden sand. Head of a seal popped out of the sea having a look around. As we walked down the beach saw another one - grey seal with silvery head. Took a peek. Went back under. Popped up later on down the beach. Standing at the place where the waves reached up to on the beach, watching the seal float along the length of the waves, nostrils breathing. Sometimes it's head turned towards me on the beach to have a look. Followed us up the beach for a couple of kilometres and then back again while the tide came in. Total of five seals seen at one time.

Other than work
A colleague sitting across the aisle from me in the vast open plannism that is our central office is having a discussion with a men's outfitters about when he can bring the morning suit in that he bought from them to have the jacket taken in, and a couple of waistcoats. He has to wait for a time when Monty can come. I think these sorts of things should be arranged in home time. And not in a loud authoritarian voice in the middle of the working day. I'm reminded of the wedding that took an entire year to plan where I used to work. Lots of deliveries recieved and considered in the office. Cakes, menus, kilts, invitations... It went on and on! And when we eventually went to the wedding it was ever so slightly blended polyester, as opposed to 100% silk.

Over hung
Long afternoon drinking on Saturday - watching the world go past in Brick Lane, chatting, lubricating with sambucca. Jolly fun time.
Woke up this morning. Head unwilling to get off the pillow. Body craving eggs. Preferably with hollandaise sauce. Struggle ensued between the head and the body. Bathed. Full submersion helps the head. Prepares the body. Still not working very fast or coherently. Get dressed. Put on sunglasses while still indoors. This helps. Until I step out the house. Bright outside. Feels early and it's midday. Self inflicted - what gave pleasure yesterday gives pain today!

Working day - generally walking purposefully, fast even, everyone in the tube corridors know where they are going. Bankers and office workers at London Bridge and Moorgate. Pace set by the urgent need to be making money. This pace helps to shave important minutes off a journey to enable better timekeeping.
Meeting in Kensington. All the people in the tube, on the platforms and all over the pavement appear to be tourists. Crazy holiday outfits. Massive suitcases. No idea where they are going. Travelling from London Bridge to here I'm caught in that weird thing where you start off at one pace and on coming out the other end you are persistently tripping over people - like catching the tube on the weekend and forgetting it will be full of shoppers strolling rather than the work commuters that are usually down there. Don't know that I could cope with always working in a tourist area.

At the bus stop at Finsbury Square there is a man waiting. He is wearing black jeans - very slim fitting (not skinny jeans stretched over stick thin legs like gothic punks) so you are aware of the muscles in his legs and an asexual bulge a la Ken (as in barbie and ken). And a faded denim shirt - this is worn slim fitting also. Tucked into his jeans there is no blousing from excess fabric - the buttons lie flat over his stomach which doesn't have obvious abs and flat over his chest which doesn't have obvious pecs. I'm looking at him because I can't figure out why this slim fitted look is so odd. It's old fashioned somehow. None descript in its nothingness. Perhaps this is normcore. Just ordinary in a totally non-styled none-descript manner.

I'm waiting at Peckham Rye Station for a train to Victoria on my way to a meeting in Kensington. I'm at a different platform than my usual one and at an odd time of day for me. Two long long trains pass each other - trundling along carrying train track replacement materials, load after load after load. No paint on the containers just rust. An engine with a number plate that the trainspotters will probably be drooling over. A workman all dressed in high vis orange opens a room on the platform. Goes in. Comes out and locks up again. Goes away. Comes back five minutes later with a toilet roll. Staff loo.

An old lover passes in the street. A year has passed since I saw him last. He looks happier than the last chance meeting we had. He is strolling with a woman. Talking. It takes me a moment to recognise him such are the changes in his appearance. But OMG it is him. I wave slowly and persistently with my hand at chest height until he notices me. Oh my god he says in absolute shock. And then we've passed.

Scream if you want to go faster
OMG Thorpe Park. Family day out with my sister, her husband and my niece and nephew. Mostly there was queuing. Between 50 and 85 minutes per ride. All the queues were cleverly hidden from view so you couldn't see how far you would be queuing until you got past the first corner. Lots of chatting and shuffling along. Lots of teenagers and young people. Most popular fashion choice for girls was cut-off-jeans hot pants and bare midriff.
So then there were rides - big rollercoasters. Feet dangling, upside down, loops, corkscrews, really high drops, g-force 4.2 like a rocket. Those of us aged over 25 were probably not the demographic they were aiming at (as pointed out to me earlier today). Dizzy. Slightly nauseous. Bit shaky. Actually glad to be back on firm ground.

Go Cats
I got cats a couple of years ago because I first had a rat problem and then when I'd gotten rid of them I got mice. Fairly persistently. All food stuffs had to be in tin or glass containers. And then there was the incident of the mouse falling out of my shopping bag at the checkout in the supermarket. Anyway. The cats were cute. And then they grew up. They love me because I feed them. And we haven't had mice since they arrived. Yesterday evening they caught and killed a mouse. And lay around in the kitchen with the remains until someone came to congratulate them. Well pleased with themselves they were. So GO Cats! Keep at it.

Bus stop compliments
Waiting in Dalston for a bus. Stop crowded with after work shoppers. A thin old man with the blackest skin and false teeth too big for his gums that clattered as he spoke, passed by pointing at me - you, yeah you girl, you have one built body, nice. And because I didn't respond he pointed harder and repeated himself. Everyone at the bus stop started tittering to themselves. Before I got embarrassed, I thanked him. He nodded his approval and slinked off round the corner. Compliments are good. From any source. The bus came. We all got on.

Girl in the city - old draft post from 2009
Girl in the City
There's a building site next to my office that I pass everyday. Yesterday the foreman ran over wanting to exchange numbers with me. Which is flatterning but has to be met with the negative. In the evening as I walked back to the station an elderly gentleman called out asking after me, "hey, how are you?"
"I'm fine," I replied, "how are you?" (gotta be polite after all).
"Not as fine as you," he retorted.
Arriving at London Bridge this morning a man with large feet and 60s style slim legged suit trousers engaged me in conversation on the escalator - he was very taken with my matching hair and glasses and coat (I'm very coordinated sometimes).
I'm feeling a little bashful with all the attention.

Two glasses of wine
He arrived at the same time as me, ordered 2 glasses of wine and a portion of chips and told the barstaff he'd be over in the corner. He settled in. I imagined he would be joined by a chic woman. When the woman arrived she was wearing a very short skirt, rather more suited to a teenager. They greeted and proceeded to snog passionately until the wine and chips were gone (I didn't quite notice how they were eaten) and then they left.

World Cup 2014
Germany supporters in Shorditch celebrating their World Cup Win - road blockage, impromptu motorbike wheelspins display in the road. Disgruntled teacher on the bus wanted to pour orange juice on them to make them get out of the way. I didn't think it would work - the juice bottle being tiny and there being a lot of supporters.

Ordering the whole menu
It started off with a trip to a secret gig at No Show Space in which the artist, Giorgio Sadotti, sang songs he had written to accompany his exhibition in a closing event with his band (including his daughter on vocals). His texts and lyrics make use of repetition and plays on words. It was a fun gig, slightly hippy rock with a girl on guitar and another one on drums.
Afterwards, six of us went to a little Indian restaurant on Redchurch street and decided since there were six starters and six mains that we should just order the entire menu (including the five chutneys and accompaniments). Which is what we did. And great delight was had making the order. And plans were made to make this 'ordering the whole menu' into a regular thing - could review restaurants like that (albeit that for most menus a good number more dining companions may be needed to sample the whole menu in one sitting - but that could be big fun if slightly nightmarey logistics), or make it into a programme of some sort...

Lunchtime tennis
More London big screen in the scoop showing tennis. Workers flocking to watch in their stolen lunchtimes. Not even sure it's because it is great - maybe just to be in the crowd, outside, in a heat trap.
And then the Murray match is starting. So perhaps they are actually fans.

Still trying to sort out the house après le film crew. Painting. All Sunday. Two coats so far. It's nice to get rid of the sort of dingy grey/blue colour they painted. Difficult to cover it being as it was a. quite dark, b. kitchen paint with a sort of wipe clean surface. Glad it's started to look back to normal and matt. In the day light the blue is still impacting through making a colder feel to the paint than the two walls they didn't paint.
And then paint gets everywhere. My girl cat Philomena somehow got a swipe on her tail even though I didn't see her in the room at all. And I am still picking paint flakes off my arms and out of my hair.

The Annual Val Hugo Memorial Mele
So I spent Saturday playing pétanque on a triangle of ground with an appropriately gravelled surface down Narrow Street in Docklands near The Grape pub. There are trees with broad leaves providing dappled sunlight when it shone and some relief from the rain when it fell. Quite like France in fact. Reminded me of the Tuilleries. It's an annual event in memorial of Val Hugo, a keen player, with a core membership of people who she played with. Serious, good players. It's a tournament. Players span several generations and a wild mixture of abilities. Teams are drawn out of a bag and matches are held between teams of 2 or 3. Then players are ranked by scores and numbers of wins and put into quarter final playoffs. Complex. Long.
But along the way I was in teams which won and teams which lost. I learned something of how to play, managed to not totally embarass myself and made it into a semi final for runners up. Lots of looking at the boules nestling up to the coche (short for cochonet) to figure out which team's boule was 'on'. Inbetween matches there were sandwiches, biscuits, coffee and some pastis. And a lot of chat about the game, the tactics and the players. It was fun.
And the final was a serious affair for the best players through the ranks and gave them a properly decent match.

Grass (2)
The last time I came to this cafe to eat there was a man with his feet in the grass. Today sitting looking out of the window of the cafe I saw his saunter up the hillock of the park, kick off his shoes and plant his feet on the grass again. Shortly after he threw himself onto the grass and lolled on one elbow while talking on the phone. Here is a man who needs to feel the earth through the soles of his feet. And does so as often as he can.

World Cup 2014
It started off pretty exciting - lots of good feeling and summer joy, Brazilian carnival taking over London. Pretty quickly depressed by England's shocking, although not really suprising, performances. Decision on who to support next is pretty key - brazil perhaps, probably not Holland, or perhaps Ghana.
We have connections to Ghana. We went to watch their match against Germany in a local Ghanian joint. Expecting not much. Got an extremely exciting performance celebrated wildly by a packed bar - drumming and singing whenever the ball went vaguely near the goal. Half time singing, dancing and flag waving in the street.
And in the middle of the second half some argument got a bit heated and a small scuff broke out. The lady who owned the joint shut it down, everyone piled into the street and dispersed as the police showed up. We went next door for the nail-biting last quarter. Winning for a bit only for Germany to come back. And despite rallying Ghana couldn't get another goal. Probably one of the most exciting games I've ever watched.

Lunchtime queuing in tescos
Tooley street tesco, down some escalators into the basement. Pick up a quick sarnie and some fruit. Well, that was the idea anyway. The queue snaked round the checkouts, back past the fruit, up the side of the salad bar, round the back of the store all the way to the frozen food section. Pretty much it seemed like all lunchtime would be spent queuing. In actual fact it was quicker than expected. And then was chucked back out off the up escalator to the street.

Gossip from the green room and other parts of the filming
One of the actors flew in from LA to do his part. He had one line. He does a lot of street performance making like a silver statue. And once auditioned to strip for Peter Stringfellow. Without wearing Velcro whip-off trousers, getting caught up at the bottom trying to get out of the trouser legs. One of the others was a bit insecure and liked to talk to other professional actors about how often she was recognised in Romford from her time in Eastenders. My neighbour's bath was used in a scene and the dressers were instructed to dirty it up. In the morning, after a finish at 3am, my neighbour threw a wobbly about it not having been cleaned up afterwards. They diligently cleaned up what they messed up and left behind any dirt that my neighbour had originally had on it (taking the leave-it-as-you-found-it to the extreme).

Making a film
Never had any idea what kind of chaos making a film is. Lent my house for a set. It's doubling as set and base for the film. Kitchen is full of canteen for actors and crew - the fridge is overflowing, milk spilling, counters full of biscuits, endless cups of tea and coffee. A "green room" upstairs where the actors are hanging out watching football. The crew, half of whom are Italian, are watching football downstairs when they get a moment.
Took about 7 takes to make a couple of minutes intro outside in the street - closing the road, directing a van and some kids playing, elderly man crossing the street and a character crossing their path. After several rehearsals. Close to pissing off some of my neighbours as they are asked not to drive down the road or indeed at times walk down the road to the shop.
Stuff is all over the house in an organised chaos of moved furniture and house stuff mixed with equipment. Don't know where half my stuff is but am relying in the runners knowing where they put it.
Sort of interesting but displaced. Roll on the end. Cut. That's a wrap.

Regrets, I've had a few
Lovely evening spent with pops, bails and heather spaffing on about a number of things while pops fed us delicious dinner and plied us with wine and Cachaça (it being two days until the World Cup starts in Brazil). With Bails and me being only 10 days apart in age (I'm younger believe it or not, and so much more concerned about it than she) there is always a moment when she despairs at me. This evening I was thinking back over turning points in time when I've chosen the wrong path. Regrets, I've had a few, and I'm just going to mention them.
When I was 18 we spent a lot of time in the Spice of Life pub where I would chat with a particular barman - I was just about to go to art college, he was a film student. He would give me free drinks. On the evening when I met my first serious boyfriend the barman gave me his number. I should have rung him. He would have been creative, he was slightly older, I could have learned a lot from him. Instead I went for a pretend part time punk who came from a small town and never quite shook the small town from himself. 6 years that lasted. Unfortunately.
A very sexy blond Australian with dreadlocks once made a play for me rubbing his foot up and down my leg under the table of the coal hole pub. We kissed deeply on the stoop of the pub until the doorman moved us on for making the place look undesirable. One night of passion ensued. And I stupidly left in the morning without taking a number (pre-everyone with a mobile phone). Never to be able to find him again.
There used to be a private members bar in Crouch End that my friend Alex belonged to. We went a couple of times. One time I struck up a chat with a girl and a cute man who turn out to be actor Don Gilet. Late in the evening he came back and unexpectedly kissed me full on the mouth. Do you come here often, he asked me breathlessly. I don't, I said, do you? No, says he, but I will now. A big missed cue - he was on the brink of doing some big tv and film. I should have picked up his cue and run with it. But I failed to. C'est la vie.
I guess you can't spend all your time mulling over regrets. Need to keep on experiencing life and attempting to make better choices!

New phone
I've never dropped a phone before. Had it splashed by salt water when a wave swept up unexpectedly behind me and soaked me (it corroded inside and stopped working). Dropped it in the bath before (tried drying it out to no avail). But not dropped it on the corner so the screen broke. But that's what I did. Luckily I was due an upgrade so ordered a new one - asked for the silver version. Forgot to ask what colour the front was. It turns out to be white. I'm trying really hard to love this phone despite its blatent Essex girl looks. I'm struggling... I feel like I should be driving round in a white rhino jeep and getting long straight extensions and a deep orange tan.
