Where There's Hope, There's a New Sweater
One of the issues I grappled with early after diagnosis was: what the heck do I knit now? Sweaters and lace shawls are wonderful to make and wear, but they take a while to complete. An added consideration is how much wear they will get now that I'm retired. I could certainly wear that gorgeous lace-bottomed cardigan around the house, but will I? Does this mean that I had best restrict myself to small projects and gifts for other people to wear?
Gifts are another issue all by themselves. It's surprisingly difficult to knit a gift that the recipient likes, or uses. Socks are the best bet, but even they are problematic.
I have resolved this issue by deciding to knit what I feel like knitting. This means that I now have a new sweater. I finished it in time to wear on a recent trip to Cape Cod (although not in time to wear to my retirement dinner).
Here I am in Wood's Hole, Massachusetts, by a memorial to Rachel Carson. Wood's Hole is a fascinating spot, as scientific work provides a lot of jobs in the area though NOAA and the Marine Biological Laboratory. I found out that Rachel Carson worked for NOAA. She is an important person in my life, because her book Silent Spring was my introduction to ecology.
Other views of the sweater:
The pattern is Damariscotta, designed by Marnie MacLean and available at the Twist Collective. I knit it in a Canadian yarn, Specialty Designer Yarns 50% Bamboo 50% Merino. It's soft and cushy, warm and breathable. The sweater has shaping, is knit from the top down in the round, and was designed to have cap sleeves. When I got the body done, I had a lot of yarn left, enough to make 3/4 length sleeves. They seem more appropriate to the weight of the yarn and the tone of my arms than the original sleeve would have been.
The pictures above are a good demonstration of how hard it is to photograph yarn colors accurately. Three photographs, three shades of purple. The actual sweater is very close to Radiant Orchid, Pantone's Color of the Year for 2014.
As for hope, blood tests indicate that the targeted chemotherapy I'm taking is working, and I am feeling remarkably well. I have cast on a lace shawl to celebrate.

I am not a rock. I am not an island.
After a busy couple of months, I have retired, and I am under treatment.
The treatment is a pill taken first thing in the morning. The medicine is very expensive, to all of us in the aggregate although not to me as an individual. Thank goodness for good health insurance. I do have a genetic mutation in the cancer and am able to take targeted treatment. I'm dealing with some side effects, but they aren't as uncomfortable as full-bore chemo.
I've been taking care of business. New wills and powers of attorney are executed, my passwords are in a sealed envelope in the lawyer's safe, beneficiaries are updated, and expenses have been dialed back. I finished my job as neatly and completely as possible, and left matters in good shape for my successor. All of this is liberating. As each task gets done, there is more time to simply enjoy living.
I am an oldest child, and I've spent much of my life being a responsible person. Now I am pulling back from that role. At the moment, I have very few responsibilities and I am loathe to add any beyond care of friends and family, and paying the bills on time.
I've been the rock, the person you can count on. Not any more. It's time for a new role, and a life lived more lightly.
At the same time, I have never felt less isolated in my life. The abundance of love I have been shown by family and friends is overwhelming. I never realized before how many people care. All I can do in return is love back. There is a lot of peace in loving.
I have a new way of living to explore, and I am surprisingly happy to be in this place.

Knitting Blog: A Most Successful Sweater
Knitting a sweater to completion becomes more daunting as the years go by. The reason: My standards for success keep becoming more refined. There are so very many ways to screw up a sweater, all of which may result in an unflattering, poorly fitting, or uncomfortable item of clothing on which you have spent a long time, and probably a substantial amount of money. Yarn does not come cheap. I think many knitters have thought, while wandering through racks of sweaters in a clothing store, "I could knit that for twice the price!"
I started this project with one strike against it: I could not make gauge in my trial swatches. The yarn I wanted to use was Reynolds Coco, a discontinued yarn purchased at a bargain price years ago from a yarn store that has been long closed. The yarn was just a wee bit finer than the yarn used to create the original sample for the pattern, so the fabric that felt and looked right had slightly more stitches and rows per 4 inches than the specified gauge. I did some figuring, and decided to cast on a size larger than I would have knit if the yarn could match the pattern gauge. The yarn was worth the attempt - a luscious blend of wool and rayon with lovely sheen and drape and a rich, glowing emerald color.
The pattern: "Lorelei", designed by Tonia Barry and published by the Twist Collective. I cast on my first stitches on November 17, 2012. Emerald was Pantone's Color of the Year for 2013, and I was excited by the idea of finishing a sweater in 2013 in that year's color. I then proceeded to be diverted by a number of smaller , less risky projects. As 2013 drew to a close, I realized that I needed to actually spend time knitting this sweater if I ever wanted to actually wear it. I finally finished it on April 14, 2014, just as it became too warm to wear wool sweaters. Oh well, I am ready to face this coming winter in style.
This might be the nicest sweater I have ever knit for myself.
A detail of the lace pattern at the bottom of a sleeve:
I read the pattern carefully when I started the sweater, and I realized that I couldn't knit it as-is and be completely happy with the end result. I wanted a cast-on edge that would blend into the lace texture. The pattern needed one extra stitch (a selvedge stitch) at the sides, where the sweater would be sewn together. It also needed a better buttonhole. Here are my notes on my project page on Ravelry:
- Use of a selvedge stitch is highly recommended! I don't understand why one wasn't designed in to make the lace match perfectly when the sweater is sewn up.
- If you use a selvedge stitch, you will need to reverse the moss rib pattern on the sleeve bottom for the rib to flow into the lace pattern.
- I used Techknitter's Tulips buttonhole. A sweater like this deserves the best buttonhole you can give it.
- I used the Rib Cable Cast-on described at http://www.keep-on-knitting.com/rib-cable-cast-on.html. It produced a beautiful edge to the sweater that works perfectly with the moss rib specified for the first few rows.
- I'm happy with the result of my gauge substitution on my body. Warning to another knitter considering a similar gauge substitution: you may find the fit at the armscye to be too tight. This sweater fits me more like a blouse than a cardigan in the underarm.

Another entry in the crowded Nordic noir field—but this one actually has some humor (black humor, anyway). Detective Carl Morck is in charge of the cold case department in Copenhagen. In the midst of coping with various bureaucratic office crises, he receives a years-old message in a bottle (written in blood)—passed along by Scottish colleagues after being found along their coastline—that appears to be from a boy in life-threatening danger somewhere on the Danish coast. As Morck and his staff gradually decode the message, they find themselves in a search for a still-active serial killer whose next victims are already at death's door. Check Our Catalog

Power Big Meet
Power Big Meet (sometimes shortened "Power Meet") is the world's largest classic car show held in Västerås, Sweden, for American cars (especially those from the 1950s and 1960s). It is held each summer during the first weekend of July (from Thursday to Saturday) and is a major event for people who hold an interest for old American cars from all over the world.
The Power Big Meet begins on Friday, when the cars drive around in the city. The main attraction is to wander around a local airfield in Västerås, called Johannisbergs airfield, and look at cars and converse with the people who own them.
Power Big Meet is one of the biggest car events in the world. Every year between 55 to 75 thousand people visit Power Big Meet to look at other and show their own cars at Västerås' Johannisberg airfield.
The Power Big Meet began in 1978, and celebrated its largest crowd on record ever in 2007 during its 30th gathering.
During the Power Big Meet 2004 the police reported that an estimated 12,000 cars had participated in the festivities, breaking all previous records. During 2014 17,000 cars participated and 200,000 visitors showed up.

Also: three stumpings in an ODI, winning by an innings after scoring 153, and more
September 11, 2012
Hashim Amla has top-scored for South Africa in his last six one-day internationals. Is this a record? asked Ahmed Kharva from South Africa
I was wondering how to find the answer to this interesting query (Statsguru isn't very good at consecutives), when Aslam Siddiqui, a frequent contributor to my Facebook page, came up with the answer. And it turns out that Hashim Amla's feat of top-scoring in six successive ODIs - the last two in New Zealand earlier this year, then all four against England - is indeed a record. The previous best was five, first achieved by Zaheer Abbas for Pakistan in the 1981-82 Australian tri-series, and matched since by Martin Crowe (1990-91), Brian Lara (1993-94), Mark Waugh (1998-99), Salman Butt (in 2008, all against Bangladesh), and Scotland's Fraser Watts (2010).
Both sides had a partnership of 99 in the second Test between India and New Zealand. How rare is this? asked Sivasakthivel from India
That's a good spot, because it turns out that none of the previous 2054 Test matches contained two partnerships of 99, as last week's one in Bangalore did (by Doug Bracewell and Kruger van Wyk in New Zealand's first innings, and Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina in India's second). In all, there have now been 96 stands of exactly 99 in Tests, four of them unbroken. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Stephen Fleming, Graeme Smith and Gundappa Viswanath appear to be the only men to feature in three apiece.
I noticed that all 11 West Indian batsmen reached double figures against Australia earlier this year, yet the total was 449. Is this the lowest in which everyone reached 10? asked Manesh Pandya from Hyderabad
All 11 West Indian batsmen reached double figures against Australia in Bridgetown earlier this year, and that was the 12th time in Test history that this has happened. Rather surprisingly perhaps, there are four lower totals than West Indies' 449 for 9 declared in the list, the lowest of all being South Africa's 358 against Australia in Melbourne in 1932, when one player made 10 not out and two managed 11. That just edges out India's 359 against New Zealand in Dunedin in 1967-68. The highest total in which everyone reached double figures is India's 664 against England at The Oval in 2007. For the full list, click here.
Has anyone ever scored a triple-century in the second innings of a Test match? asked Jeremy James from Scotland
There have now been 26 triple-centuries in Test cricket - and only one of them has come in the second innings of a match. That was Hanif Mohammad's 337 - it lasted 970 minutes, the longest individual innings in Test history - in Bridgetown in 1957-58. Hanif's epic rearguard enabled his side to escape with a draw after West Indies had taken a first-innings lead of 473; Pakistan made 657 for 8 (in 319 overs) in the follow-on. There was an agonising near-miss in New Zealand's second innings against Sri Lanka in Wellington in 1990-91, when Martin Crowe was caught behind for 299. There have been 27 further double-centuries in the second innings of Tests, only five of them in the fourth innings of the match.
What is the lowest score for a team that resulted in an innings win for them? asked Sidharth Jain from India
The lowest Test total that proved enough for an innings victory is 153, by Australia in Melbourne in 1931-32, when they bowled South Africa out on a rain-affected pitch for 36 and 45 to win by an innings and 72 runs. The left-arm spinner Bert "Dainty" Ironmonger, who was nearly 50 at the time, finished with the remarkable bowling figures of 5 for 6 and 6 for 18. The Wisden report says of the second innings: "The wicket was very difficult and Ironmonger once more proved practically unplayable... The third wicket fell at 25 and then, with the sun coming out, the wicket became terribly treacherous, the last seven batsmen being dismissed for another 20 runs." The lowest total by any side which ended up winning the Test is 45, by England against Australia in Sydney in January 1887 - they made 184 in their second innings, and bowled Australia out for 119 and 97.
The commentary said that Craig Kieswetter's three stumpings in the ODI against South Africa was a record - is this for England or overall? asked Hemant Kher from the United States
Craig Kieswetter's three stumpings in last week's one-day international at Lord's was the 14th instance of a wicketkeeper making three stumpings in the same ODI, but the first for England. Ian Healy, Romesh Kaluwitharana, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Moin Khan and Kumar Sangakkara have all done it twice. Kieswetter's all came from the bowling of James Tredwell, the sixth instance of all three stumpings being off the same bowler, following Saleem Yousuf off Saleem Malik (1990-91), Healy off Shane Warne (1994-95), Kaluwitharana off Sanath Jayasuriya (1999-2000), Sangakkara off Muttiah Muralitharan (2000), and Dhoni off Piyush Chawla (2008).

Locklyn or Lachlyn
I'm having a baby girl and we want to name her Locklyn or Lachlyn. Which spelling do you prefer?
July 24th, 2013 10:30 AM #3
I personally prefer the original spelling Lachlan on a boy. If you live in an area that has heavy Irish influence, there will be a lot of gender confusion no matter what spelling you use. If you do love Lachlan on a girl, I'd stick with the original spelling, as the others look made up and youneek (which is not a good thing).~lucy reine~~ celestine eira ~ mary simona ~ elizabeth echo "ellie" ~ eleanor maeve "lena" ~ vivienne isla ~ celia matilda "cici" ~ catherine aiko "rin" ~ elsa verity ~~ jasper red ~ evander lachlan 'evan'~ kai nicholas ~ ezra link ~ avery thomas ~ michael satoshi "mischa" ~ finn jeremias ~ ezekiel hayden ~ alexander rowan "sacha" ~

I was wondering if anyone would happen to have some specs/drawings of the internal dimensions of corny kegs. I have searched exhaustively for this info to no avail. I could take some measurements on mine once I get home, but I was hoping to avoid the hassle if possible. So, does anyone out there have this info? I would greatly appreciate it if you could pass it on.
Greg, Did you ever receive a response or what were your findings once you arrived home. Funny, this is exactly the scenario I am in.
Thanks, Brian

"We, Portuguese, set sail for years from our beloved homeland; risked our precious lives against the dread of the endless ocean. However, by the love and kindness of Almighty Lord, we were miraculously destined to find this new world where none of us ever set foot on before. We were told by natives for its name. Suvannabhumi, the name they called; the name in our tongue meant for the land of gold.
In the name of Mighty Lord and Jesus Christ, our Christianity seemed to be destined for spreading in this Far-East land. With the blessing of Lord that bestowed the courage upon our handful troop, we were able to capture Malacca from the Muslim during the era of Dom Afonso de Albuquerque. However, those infidels still did not give up yet.
AlauddinRiayat Shah II of Johor, a throneless king of Malacca formed the army of Muslim and made alliance with the rulers of neighbor Islamic states in order to drive us out of this land someday.
Far into the mainland, amongst the chain of heaven-piecing high mountains; the dark forest, and wide torrential rivers which flew from further north; here two ancient kingdoms stood for hundred years, Lanna and Lan Xang Kingdom. For centuries, they maintained their glory and peace from the old day; especially the Lan Xang under the rule of King Setthathirath the Wise. King Setthathirath eventually forged his kingdom to be mightier than ever. However for Lanna Kingdom, everything seemed to be shrouded in the darkness of abyss.
After the death of King Tilokara the Great, Lanna Kingdom was no more being as great as she used to be in the past. Due to the throne usurpation of Royalties and Nobles, Queen Jiraprapa had to bravely bear the burden of ruling the Kingdom despite facing the threat from internal corrupted nobles; and fearful external invaders who came from every direction, especially the mighty kingdom from the central plain; the Kingdom of Ayutthaya.
Ayutthaya Kingdom was the wealthiest and most prosperous state in the mainland. Now the newly clowned monarch, King Chairacha, the warrior king intended to march out his military force to all Suvannabhumi states. This king wisely accepted our military service for the dreadful firepower of our invincible arquebuses and cannons.
Still, not only Ayotthaya who wanted to be the single power in mainland...
There was a mountainous kingdom located in the southwestern part of this golden land. A young king named Tabinshwehti, or well known as Black-tongue Mentra, clowned himself to reign the throne of Toungoo; despite being only fifteen years old. He claimed that he had his rights because of being the member of the lost ancient dynasty. He announced the rightful rule over Burmese, Mon, Arakan, and Tai states. Furthermore, he also intended to crush Ayutthaya under his iron fist.
Khmer Kingdom, a state once being an ancient empire whom used to rule over all Suvannabhumi minor states in the past, was now ripped of her ancient power by Ayutthaya Kingdom. The once mighty kingdom was now nothing but only a minor province. Under the depression and disgrace that the Khmer King endured, he himself dreamed of the vengeance and long- lost power reclaiming.
Far into the eastern land, a dragon kingdom named Dai Viet; the great kingdom who ever beat down the Ming army for many times in the past, was now divided into twin kingdoms by the civil war between Lê and Mạc dynasty. Both dynasties thirsted for being the only mandate of heaven in Dai Viet realm.
We travelled to the edge of world in hope to avoid the war of Europe, and sought out for the prosperity and fame in this far away land. We would see whether this land suited the name Suvannabhumi, the land of gold; or not.
May the Mighty Lord bestow us the strength and bravery for the war we fought in the name of thou...
And may all things go under Lord's desire..."

how can i downloud this game?
Hay guys , are you guy still working on the mod or Is it dead ? It been 1 year long from the release of last version . I appreciated your work and wish you guys still working on it but I would like added some suggestions if you plan to continue developed for further version . In this mod the worst historical huge mistake is the culture of Kingdom of Arakan(Rakhine ) . Arakan civilization was started form since 3000 BC and they are true believer of Buddhism , their civilization and their culture which concern with Buddhism was very early and older than the Burmese and Mon . While I play your mod , it make me very up set because it is non sense when I see Arakan Troop and Lords in name with Emir , Sultan and outfit of Surranie . As a Burmese , I think I have responsible to tell you about that fact . I think everyone in your team might be Thai people , because it can be easily noticed that in this mod too much high light on Ayuthaya faction . If your audience is just only for local it still okay but if you aimed everyone to play for your mod i think you guys should really care about the historical facts coz history is really sensitive matter . And some of the outfits , troops and weapons and even Banner of Burmese factions are still not correct within the Taungoo era espically less unit than the other factions but this one is still not so serious than the mistake of Arakan culture . Please fix those mistakes if you have plan to advanced next version . And if you have some questions with these contact me friendly . I will help you gladly . 555 Kha Pone Kha .
Dang this mod is cool But it doesn't run on version 1.158.
Can you please add Freelancer?And it would be great if you add China (i know there are Ming deserters but not a faction) :D very great mod
Thank you so much , if i can be the one of the warrior of The King Tabinshwehti . :D
thanks for the mod is funnt :D
thx of the mod this mod is funny:D

Very well made. This is definitely one of M&B's obscure gems.

Intern Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Discovery Communications.
I applied online through their website after seeing a posting of an internship opportunity on my university's career services site. I got an email request for an interview after a week or so. The interview was a screening interview through video recording. I'd done something like it before so it wasn't too strange for me. There were 5 questions, with two minutes to answer each one, one for preparation, and the other for recording, all really general questions.

Deutsche Telekom AG (abbreviated DTAG, English: German Telecom) is a German telecommunications company headquartered in Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is the largest telecommunications company in Europe. Deutsche Telekom was formed in 1996 as the former state-owned monopoly Deutsche Bundespost was privatized. As of June 2008, the German government still holds a 15% stake in company stock directly, and another 17% through the government bank KfW.
The former CEO Kai-Uwe Ricke was ousted by the board of the company because of slumping sales and the flight of customers to cheaper competitors. More than 1.5 million customers changed to rival companies during 2005 and 2006 and as a result, Deutsche Telekom laid off more than 30,000 workers. The new CEO was announced on November 12, 2006 after a long-night board session: René Obermann, the former CEO of T-Mobile International.
The predecessor of Ricke, Ron Sommer, chairman of Deutsche Telekom between 1995 and 2002, was ousted because of the drop in the share price of the company in 2002. At the height of the dot-com bubble, the share was valued at over €100 but fell significantly to about €12/share during a couple of months. Sommer said that "he had some opinion-based difficulties between him and board of the Telekom".

"Looking at the South through the eyes of the North" Top 5 Page for this destination P'anmunjom-ni by Willettsworld
P'anmunjom-ni Travel Guide: 43 reviews and 148 photos
Panmunjom is the general name for the area where buildings are located on both sides of the 38th parallel or DMZ which splits the Korean peninsula into two following World War 2. In fact, Panmunjom was actually a small village on the northern side of the border but nothing of it remains today except for a few buildings where the Korean War ceasefire Armistice agreement was signed on 27th July 1953. You'll get to see the Korean and UN copies of the agreement in one of the buildings before visiting the JSA (Joint Security Area) and the MAC (Military Armistice Commission) building, where talks now take place. This area is full of tension between the two sides and you can still sense the stand-off between the North Korea soldiers and the South Korean soldiers who stand in a provocative taekwondo stance. Throughout your trip here, you'll be accompanied by a member of the Korean People's Army (we had a lieutenant colonel, no less!).
It's best not to step out of line or say anything that can undermine yourself or anyone else within your tour group as things are taken very seriously here and there's good reasons why as there's been many conflicts and shootings within this area between the two sides over the years. For me, it was another highlight of my time in North Korea. In fact I actually came back here one week later as part of a South Korean tour which was very different to the North Korean one. For example, on the South Korean tour we had to sign agreements so that the UN will take no responsibility in any actions that may arise whilst visiting. We didn't sign anything or were told nothing as part of our North Korean tour. We were told not to take any bags, point, run and to walk in single file as part of the South Korean tour. We could take bags and virtually 'fool' around on the North Korean tour. So, the differences are even there to be seen on the tours yet alone the places themselves.

Is it good to end life after a person as we have seen in the case of YS Reddy?

No doubt the accident that killed him was a sad event, but committing suicide on such occassions is not right. YSR was a good CM, but he was just another polirtical leader. Remember the sad deaths of the former Lok sabha Speaker Balyogi, Madhav Rao Scindia, Rajesh Pilot and the way Rajiv Gandhi was blown into smithereens by the suicide bomberAnswered by mohanbirsingh ghura, 05 Sep '09 07:00 pm
It depends upon the sentiments of the personAnswered by SANDEEP JAIN, 05 Sep '09 06:53 pm

Bad Cop/Bad Cop recording first full-length
Contributed by DesertBurst92. Posted by johng on Friday, November 28, 2014 at 12:00 PM (EST)
Bad Cop/Bad Cop have started to record their first full-length album. The band expects to release it in April 2015. The release will be out via Fat Wreck Chords.
The band previously released Boss Lady and Punknews spoke to the band's own Stacey Dee not too long ago.
The economics of touring as explained by Pomplamoose
Like many independent touring bands, indie duo Pomplamoose lost money on a recent one month tour. Unlike many of those bands, they have decided to go the "full transparency" route, with member Jack Conte posting a lengthy essay on the Medium website. To sum it up briefly, the band lost nearly $12,000 over the 28-day trip. Conte says:
But this isn't a sob story. We knew it would be an expensive endeavor, and we still chose to make the investment. We could have played a duo show instead of hiring six people to tour with us. That would have saved us over $50,000, but it was important at this stage in Pomplamoose's career to put on a wild and crazy rock show. We wanted to be invited back to every venue, and we wanted our fans to bring their friends next time. The loss was an investment in future tours.
Conte details the expenses including money spent on food and hotel ($17,589), insurance ($5,445), as well as salaries and per diems ($48,094). You can read the full article here.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Posted by johng on Thursday, November 27, 2014 at 8:30 AM (EST)
Happy Thanksgiving! Or, if you live outside the USA... happy Thursday? Anyways, because we're all eating pumpkin pie over here at the Punknews Hovercraft office, things will be slow today. We'll be back tomorrow. In the meantime, check out some of Punknews' recent original content, including an absolutely fantastic interview with Edward Colver, a "We'll Do It Live" with CJ Ramone, a pair of exclusive tunes by punk rock heroes Really Red, and as always, our witty, whimsical, and frequently off-topic podcast..
We'll see you tomorrow.
Interviews: Edward Colver
Contributed by DesertBurst92. Posted by kira on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 at 8:00 PM (EST)
If you don't know who Edward Colver is, chances are you've seen his pictures of the LA hardcore scene, some of the iconic punk album covers that he took the pictures for, or maybe you even saw him in the documentary American Hardcore.
Edward Colver is a self-taught photographer who documented punk rock history. Between 1978-1984 he went to shows five nights a week to take pictures of the LA hardcore scene. What he documented is absolutely fascinating and is an essential part of punk rock and even American music history.
But don't take my word for it. Here's what Jello Biafra said about his photography in Edward Colver's book Blight at the End of the Funnel: "Anyone even slightly interested in LA's underground has seen it through an Edward Colver photo. Edward shined a light on the underlying darkness in a way that would make Weegee proud. The menace, the alienated kids, they're on again off again camaraderie, and the fright behind macho eyes. The threads of disturbance in Edward's work stitches together live fast die young no hope suburbia with hardcore homeless of dying downtown Los Angeles; before their ranks mushroomed as Reagan-Clinton America abandoned its misfits and disadvantaged. Edward brings out the Fellini in almost anything that steps into his lens."
Punknews staffer Ricky Frankel met Edward at his gallery showing in Los Angeles, which you can read a review of here, and interviewed him about a week after first meeting him.
His exhibit ran from September 20, 2014 to November 21, 2014 in downtown Los Angeles. There's more information about it here. And you can check out some of Edward Colver's work here, or you can buy his awesome book Blight at the End of the Funnel.

About Patrick & Sara Whisler
Family purchased property in 1898, Historic Ranch
Patrick & Sara Whisler purchased this house in 1898
Why Patrick & Sara Whisler chose Carmel
Family property purchased in 1898
Guestbook comments from the owner
To Mark, Patrick & Sara, Diane and Carolyn,
We've just returned to Boston from our family gathering at The Acorn Ranch and I wanted to let you know how much we treasured everything about it and how thankful we are that you're willing to share your special Carmel/Pt. Lobos home. I feel so fortunate to have fond it on VRBO.
For those of us from 1 to 71, it was perfect. The huge grand dining table was the focal point of our days (for meals and for puzzles and games with grandchildren), and epitomized the quality, history, traditions of The Acorn where so many have gathered, grateful for the foresight of Alexander Allan, the Riley family, and the immense talents of the Whislers in bringing the old and the new together to create such a wonderful home.
We were surrounded by history, beautiful furnishing, interesting collections, beautiful Oriental rugs... and then there were the comfortable touches in a beautiful, FULLY-equipped, contemporary kitchen, the George Nelson lights, wood ceilings, expansive glass, Frank Lloyd Wright inspired lanterns/lights, beautiful landscaping and trellises!!
We adults appreciated the quality linens and towels (even beach towels!), the washer/dryer, and so many thoughtful details you provided. The ranch setting delighted our young grandchildren who were entertained endlessly by "Jesse" "Goldie" "Tom" and "Mikey" (the horses), the miniature horses, the deer and turkeys. The expansive house, older and newer, gave everyone space and so many options: a cabinet of games; a library of books, even for the 4 year olds; 2 grassy areas for soccer games; bike riding on the dirt road; adventures to the basketball court, and the back garden with its "quiet time" reading swing and the lemon tree and raspberries.
We grandparents had a quiet get away in the guest house, far from the (too) early a.m. wakings in the house.
We hardly needed to leave the property at all as we enjoyed the spectacular beauty of Pt. Lobos, high above Carmel and our view of the water, but we had 3 great beach days. Pt. Lobos was almost a walk away and we took advantage of that special landscape and CA treasure that your family saved. We had Gibson Beach to ourselves one day - so gentle for the grandchildren who didn't seem to mind the cold water. The Carmel River Beach was great for kite flying, and the Monterey Aquarium was a nice day trip.

You know, before I got back from vacation (a reader asked me to never say "vacay," so I will not), I made a vow I was not going to fill up my week with something to do every damn night, and yet it's happened again. Yesterday Ned and I spent our lunch hour looking at yet another house (nope) (too close to a really, REALLY busy street), after work I had my student, then tonight we look at another house. Wait. Lemme get you a picture.
Right? It's 99 years old! Ninety-nine. I've been waiiiitin' so long. Oh, niiiine-ty-nine. Where'd we go wrong? Oh, ninety-nine. I love youuuu.
I wonder how much I could do with the area of my brain that managed to memorize all the top 40 AM radio songs from 1975 to 1980. The piano player looks like everyone my mother dated before she met my stepfather, who marched in looking like a normal person, and I thought, "THIS one will never last." I really did.
OH MY GOD, this is how my life gets out of control. I have no focus. I have a friend whose family is from...somewhere. Somewhere south of here. Colombia? Whenever I can't remember I go with Colombia. The point is, her gramma used to tell her, "You must fukkus, Cat. You have no fukkus." My friend's name is Cat, which is super cool and I wish I was from possibly Colombia so my name would be Cat. It's probably some long pretty name like Cataralainalarininla and she goes with Cat. I've never asked.
FUKKUS! So, we have that on Tuesday, then on Wednesday we have a little bungalow to look at, and then my friend Charlie asked if I'd visit so I will this week and boom it's the weekend. What I wouldn't give for a nice week where I just get to come home after work and do nothing. I blame Ned.
So ANYWAY. I was gonna finish up about my trip so here we go.
I took Mr. Sparkling Personality, here (it's like once the camera is on him, he turns dour) (you'd think the camera was on him every day or something, to entertain thousands of people he doesn't know), to my college town to show him just everything, and what's sad is how much of that involved bars. "And here's where my friend barfed in the back." "This bar is the one where they'd call me at home if I didn't show up."
It's true, there was a bar like that, and we decided to go to that at the end of the day, the big piece of resistance. I have to stop saying that like it's funny. I'm turning into someone's grandpa. The point is, we ate and shopped and walked all over yonder on campus and went to the museum where I worked for years and finally, FINALLY, we went to that bar. We walked in the front, walked straight through to the back door, and left.
"Oh my GOD, was it always so LOUD in there?" Ned asked, horrified.
"No! No, I....wow. Maybe it was. Wow."
You can't go home again.
So my hair and I took Ned to the Peanut Barrel, which used to let you throw shells on the ground and which now in our clean, politically correct world we can no longer do. I like how peanut throwing has become political. We sat next to four computer geeks, who talked about physics and languages and it was like sitting next to the cast of Theory of Relativity of whatever that show is that I've seen like twice with that guy named Sheldon.
The point is, I would like to listen to MY deep talks that I had at the Peanut Barrel in 1985 and see what pith I came up with.
Eventually we returned to my home town, and on one of the days I took Ned to this old barn place, where they serve only local food, and the menu is quite limited to just what they have that day. It was one of those walk up and look at the board and order right there situations, which Ned is not good with, but he did it.
He got duck tacos, which is fine if you don't mind someone throwing tacos at you over and over.
Someone's grandpa.
We also managed to see Hulk, pictured here in a sporting shirt, with sports on in the background. Hulk is on the cover of...wait for it...Sports Illustrated currently and he was beside his own self.
Sports Illustrated told everyone to send in a photo of them doing something athletic, (I could not pick just one), and they made a big picture of everyone's small picture. Hulk found exactly where his tiny picture is and showed us. He's below the U in Illustrated or something. Am certain he will write in and correct me angrily.
The good news is, he and Ned got to talk about....sports.
"Hey, Ned, sporty sport sports sport sporting!"
"Yeah, ha ha! SPORTS Sporty sport ball sport!"
"Ha ha ha! Yeah. And sport..."
Oh my god I was in a COMA.
At the end of the trip, we returned to our hotel in West Virginia that we always stay at, and it just happened to be homecoming weekend. So while we ate outside, we saw a whole fireworks show. It was an excellent way to end our vacay. Aaaaand now I've lost a reader.
