Two for two: Off to good start at Burnley Station
ADDRESS: 3968 Burnley Station Road
SIZE: 1348 fin. sq. ft./ 340 unfin. sq. ft.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Barboursville
CURB APPEAL: 7 out of a possible 10
LISTED BY: Barbara Seidler of Colonnade Realty 973-4242
Driving up 29 North in the last five years has gone from moderately irritating to catastrophically lousy. No longer, it seems, do hours exist in which downtown shopping chores can be accomplished with ease. The only distraction comes from reading bumper stickers or deciphering license plate credos. Following a "Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?" bumper sticker can add a little humor to the stop-and-start drudgery, but the relentless development is quickly turning the 29 "corridor" into a hellish progression of consumer crack houses.
So once one passes the megalithic structures of Lowe's and Sam's Club, the green starts to stretch out again (but as backhoes perch precariously atop new dirt mountains, that green soon will become more of the paper variety).
Taking a right turn onto Burnley Station Road then, it's pleasant to see that the only construction has been of modestly built homes sitting on large lots with plenty of trees.
After winding and driving for several miles through forests and pastures, coming upon this house definitely eases the recent driving tedium. Since these places were built long enough ago to have an established landscape, one merely sees a hint of the house from the road. With only one level, this is not surprising.
Several different parking slots as well as entrances give the place a sort of office-y feel. But that does not distract once one realizes the appeal of such a subtle home. A winter carport that doubles as a summer patio brought us to the most convenient door. To the right, laundry facilities reside in an inconspicuous alcove, and to the left, built-in identical desks sit back to back. It doesn't appear unusual until the realtor mentions that the house was originally designed for two sisters. Which means that this intentional duplication probably saved a lot of squabbling as the sisters decorated and arranged their personal spaces.
The two bedrooms signal a similar mode of behavior as they're laid out exactly the same– identical shape, with windows and closets in exactly the same place. A shower room with inlaid tile, skylights– and a little extra room for sisterly maneuvers– divides twin bathrooms.
The large living room, though, truly has a communal feel. With its wall of windows, brick fireplace, bookshelves, and French doors opening onto a patio, it provides enough space for several sets of sisters. A long kitchen off this room has all the essentials without any of the fluff. A separate refrigerator and freezer flank the opening off the living/ dining area; a Halogen Plus Counterange commands the center space.
Because the house is built on a square grid, its layout is fairly obvious, with no odd corners or dead space. The front door has the only formal attribute, which is why the realtor had to point it out. It would probably only ever be used by Jehovah's Witnesses or the UPS man.
From the back door, concrete steps lead into a basement. Nothing fancy here except for a newly installed soft water system. Extensive decking off the multi-use carport circumnavigates the back of the house, allowing for more entertainment possibilities. Steps away, a very inviting pool and pool house promise more than respite from the heat, as towering oaks block all signs of neighbors.
All in all, this house with its unpretentious 1970s flair has a lot of bang for the buck. Easily a great starter home for a thriving young family, or a retreat for a retired couple, it clearly could even accommodate two curmudgeonly sisters who can't live with or without each other.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (Monday, February 25, 2013) – Colorado Rapids captain Pablo Mastroeni previewed the new #RapidsJersey on Monday afternoon during 9News at 4 O'Clock, giving fans a first look at the Colorado flag-themed alternate shirt that will be worn during this Saturday's Season Opener at FC Dallas.
The #RapidsJersey celebration, which will feature players in the full primary and alternate uniforms, takes place on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. MT at Lodo's Bar and Grill in downtown Denver.
"The Rapids' alternate jersey that Pablo previewed today was inspired by the passion for Colorado displayed by the supporters in Centennial 38," said Rapids President Tim Hinchey. "With our new alternate jerseys featuring the Colorado state flag, and our primary kits including the names of our season ticket holders, we're showing the pride we have for our fans and our state, and thank them for their passion and support over the last 18 years. We hope to thank many fans in person tomorrow night at the celebration at Lodo's."
The Rapids' alternate jersey comes in the distinctive colors of the iconic Colorado state flag, and includes design elements from the flag imprinted directly into the shirt. The Colorado "C" is embossed directly into the front of the shirt, while the Rapids logo on the jersey will be bright red and the three stripes on the sleeve are yellow. The full image of the Colorado state flag will also be included in the lower left front corner of the jersey, and all trim will come in the red and yellow of the flag.
The full alternate uniform will be seen first during tomorrow's event at Lodo's, and will be worn for most of the Rapids' road matches, including Saturday's match at FC Dallas. The game kicks off at 6:30 p.m. MT and will be broadcast live on Altitude.
Fans can now purchase the authentic alternate jersey by visiting www.AltitudeAuthentics.com, and can also pick one up at Lodo's on Tuesday or during the Rapids home opener on March 9 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
The Rapids will also have a new primary jersey in 2013, which comes in the club's distinctive burgundy color. Darker stripes on that jersey are made up of the names of the club's season ticket holders, making Colorado the first MLS club to include fans' in the actual fabric of their jerseys, as part of the #ONELUB campaign. The new primary shirts also include white sleeves, the number "5280" printed onto the back of the neck, as well as a Colorado flag placed on the lower left corner of the front of the jersey.
Colorado Rapids players will display both uniforms in full for the first time at the #RapidsJersey Party on Tuesday night, with fans joining players and staff at Lodo's Bar and Grill for a celebration beginning at 6 p.m. MT. As part of Major League Soccer's "Jersey Week," the new Rapids jerseys will caravan to Colorado landmarks earlier in the day on Feb. 26, visiting locations such as Breckenridge Ski Resort, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Elk Meadow/Bergen Peak, Confluence Park, and culminating in the public party at Lodo's in downtown Denver.
More information can be found at www.ColoradoRapids.com/MarchtoSoccer, and tickets to the Rapids 2013 season can be purchased by calling 303-825-GOAL or CLICKING HERE.

Residents from around Bay County had the chance to learn a few new skills Saturday in a high tech conference held at FSU-PC.
Most people may not necessarily think of northwest Florida when they think of high tech locations, but organizers of the RailsBridge workshop are hoping to change that.
About 60 men and women showed up to participate in the free workshop where they learned everything from how to customize websites with HTML and CSS to creating web applications with Ruby on Rails.
"It's something I'd kinda heard a lot about and I wanted to know the basics, just to have somebody come and show you," said participant Dannielle Anderson. "You can look at tutorials online, but it's nice when you actually have somebody to help you when you mess up, you have an error and you have no idea what it means. You have somebody to get you through the basics, then you can go home and practice it and get better at it."
The program was primarily geared towards women and high school students in hopes of encouraging them to pursue careers in the field.
"I'm on a team of 6 developers and I'm the only female and that's about average," said Beverly Nelson, one of the event organizers. "I mean, there's not gonna be that many so our goal is to just increase diversity and to encourage students to try something new and encourage women to step out there even though it's a very male dominated field
Nelson says they plan to do more workshops like this in the future.

As reported by Tommy Dee, on Thursday the Knicks will workout 5 prospects
Keith Benson, 6-11, 230, Oakland, senior
Mike Davis, F, 6-9, 225, Illinois, senior
Charles Jenkins, F, 6-3, 220, Hofstra, senior
Iman Shumpert, G, 6-5, 212, Georgia Tech, junior
Chris Singleton, F, 6-9, 225, Florida State, junior
Keith Benson is an intriguing prospect, he's got a 7-4 wingspan and is a very good athlete. He's a good shooter and good rebounder. The problem is that he's not a great defender which is bad for the Knicks. If you can improve his defense, I think he could be a very good NBA player. He will be a 2nd round selection. Mike Davis is a power forward but he's too finesse for my taste. He is a bit soft inside and he's not a shot blocker. He plays hard and he's a good rebounder and he can shoot but overall he needs work. He's got late second round value. Charles Jenkins is a really interesting prospect. Tommy Dee has him listed as a forward but I think that's a typo. Jenkins is a point guard and a very good one. I like him more at the 2 actually as he isn't a great passer. He wasn't asked to pass much at Hofstra but if you're gonna play point for the Knicks, you gotta be able to deliver the rock to the big 2. He's a great scorer and has a really nice jump shot. He's not an elite athlete and needs to improve his passing but overall he's a solid player, should be a first round pick. Iman Shumpert is another intriguing prospect. He's got great size for a point guard at 6'6 and he's real long. He may not be a pure point, maybe a shooting guard but he's a great defender and he's a great finisher at the rim. His 3 point shooting could use some work and he isn't a great jump shooter but overall I think he'd be a great 2nd round purchase for the Knicks. Chris Singleton is going to be a lottery selection. He's an unbelievable defender and he's can shoot the hell out of the ball from 3. He's incredibly athletic and finishes nicely at the rim. He'd be a great fit for the Knicks coming off the bench, he's got versatility to guard the 3 and 4 on defense. I like him alot but I don't know if he's gonna be there at 17 for the Knicks to pick.Follow @tarmosino

A Completed Painting...
24 x 24 - Number 19
I started this canvas in Flora Bowley's Blooming True workshop and put it aside for awhile. Of all places, I hung it up in our weight room. I looked at it regularly and it never "spoke" to me. Each time I looked at it I was reminded that I didn't like it and had no clue what to do with it. Last month, I took Tracy Verdugo's Paint Mojo workshop and when I got home I decided it was time to take a look at this canvas again.
Is it finished? I am not completely sure and might add more to it later but at least I made enough progress to say that I am happy with where it is now. I like that I can revisit it later if I choose.
Have a blessed day!

TPWD Looking to Sell Part of Palo Duro Canyon's Fortress Cliff Ranch
AUSTIN — The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department got the go-ahead today from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Commission to provide public notice of the pending sale of 2,014 acres of the state-owned Fortress Cliff Ranch overlooking Palo Duro Canyon.
A key part of the purchase agreement for the property is the inclusion of a conservation easement to be held in perpetuity by TPWD that prevents any development near the rim and limits subdividing the property in the future into only two tracts. The property to be sold includes a modern ranch house, roughly 1,000 acres of grassland and mixed brush, a side canyon and a quarter mile of the canyon rim.
TPWD, working with the Trust for Public Land, acquired the valuable ranchland overlooking the renowned 29,000-acre park in a dual transaction straddling 2008-2009. The acquisition was made primarily to protect the views from the park of seven miles of cliffs targeted for possible development that would have allowed small, canyon-front home lots.
"With the sale of much of the Fortress Cliff property, the agency is staying true to its original stated intent and plan to protect the cliffs and the park's view shed, and make the best use of our limited funds by selling the ranch house and uplands at some future date," said Carter Smith, TPWD executive director. "A perpetual conservation easement will ensure the land's important wildlife conservation values are permanently protected. We will use the proceeds from this sale to acquire state park property elsewhere in Texas, where we have many high-priority needs."
TPWD staff told the commission that a purchase offer has been presented with terms and conditions believed to be in the best interest of TPWD.
TPWD used computer modeling and site visits to map views from the park, evaluate recreational access and outline public use options to come up with the December 2010 property listing. After the sale, TPWD will retain ownership of roughly 850 acres of the original 2,912-acre Fortress Cliff Ranch lands as part of Palo Duro Canyon State Park that will be integrated into existing resource management and public use plans.
"A plan for public use has not been developed yet, but it is anticipated that the Fortress Cliffs property we retain will allow park visitors to be able some day to access the rim via a hiking trail to enjoy the spectacular views of the canyon below," Smith said.
The Fortress Cliffs property, formerly Tub Springs Ranch, is located about 15 miles southeast of Amarillo in Randall and Armstrong counties. Palo Duro Canyon State Park is located about 12 miles east of Canyon on State Highway 217. For more information, contact the park at (806) 488-2227.

But enough about me, let's talk about my knitting.
Seriously, that was a lot of fun to make. You can see a bit of the back of the thumb, which I striped rather than work in pattern, just because.
Now, the large and mindless:
These sleeves of my Anise are also done, they just need to be attached. Then I knit the collar, and, PRESTO!, new warm sweater for the Boston Winter that Will Not Give It Up Already. By the way, the buttons are just for show; this is actually a pullover, not a cardigan. I thought about making mine a cardigan, but I envisioned how the front would drape when open, that is, poorly, like a ripped-open box top, and realized I would always wear it closed anyway. I purchased the buttons, which are made of nut, at Yarns in the Farms just a few hours ago; Jill and Tyler, two of the knitters who work there, suggested the color, which is a bit more pink than in this photo. I never would have thought of this, but I love it.
On that note, I also love the feedback I get on my blog. So, in honor of the fact that I've had the blog for about 1 year and two weeks now, I'm having a contest of sorts. Please comment on this post, and I will randomly choose a name from among those who commented and send this:
AMONG OTHER THINGS from the Yarn Room that I did not have a chance to photograph today. Indeed, I will send a package of desirable yarn to a random commenter in celebration. To encourage the comments, because when you comment I go read your blog, because we must have some similar tastes and interests. And so the virtual version of that yarn store input I got today continues.

Love that mitten! The stripe-y thumb is a nice little surprise. The buttons are a great choice as well. Interesting they're made of nut!
Happy blogiversary! I have been reading your blog for about six months now, and I have to say that I really enjoy your take on knitting - colorful and fresh, often playful and surprising, always inspiring.

I'm normally a very matchy-matchy type person when it comes to button shapes, but those are just lovely! I can't wait to see the finished pullover, arms and all!
Endless Boston winter,eh? My knitting soul envies you. I just had to hurry up to finish my mittens because it's light jacket/no jacket weather in Atlanta already.

I'm glad you like the feedback from blogging because I do enjoy reading your blog! Your projects always inspire me to push myself into more complex or comprehensive knits. I'm always looking forward to more from you!

Love the mittens the colorwork looks great.

Loving the fair-isle mitten. Great bright colour combo, as always. Also can't wait to see Anise done. The buttons are the best.
I never replied your comment about my snowshoeing. You were wondering where I go. Well, I live in Ottawa, which is a fantastic city if you love living in an urban area, but also doing lots of stuff in nature. I basically live downtown, yet I can be in the middle of the forest in about 20 minutes. Mind you, the winters here are absolutely crazy. Luckily, I love playing in the snow (around here, it's a survival mechanism.)
Congrats on your blogaversary. You're definitely one of my favourite bloggers, and I always look forward to reading your posts and comments. Not to mention your killer guns (I wouldn't want to mess with you!) and fantastic sense of style. Plus, you give the best libation tips. Rusty nail, here I come!

Hi, I've commented before but for the record I found you originally from Neiman at Knitty.
I almost never knit sweaters (short sleeve is better), I almost never do someone else's designs, but your design will not leave my mind. Might end up doing it, I hope. In my spare time.
The mittens are totally up my alley, great job. Colorwork is the most soothing experience I know, and thinner yarns are so satisfying in a finished item. Wonderful.
Thanks for the blog. I'm loving it.
(The hair color change was very interesting to me, a 49 yr old who has never dyed her hair, period. Not even temporarily. Wore a wig in a play once, though.)

What kind of nut are those buttons made of?
I've been lurking around your blog since Neiman came up on Knitty.
Your comment about the endless Boston winter tickled me. I've barely worn a jacket at all because I thought it was so unseasonably warm!

Hello Weaver!
I love your blog - quirky to the enth degree, queen of the unexpected (a librarian in a previous life? - compliment!!) Can't wait to see Anise's arms all sewn in.
- February 10, 2008 at 5:20 AM
I love adding non-functional buttons to anything and everything. About a year ago, I was on a buttoned up handwarmers kick. I just sewed on some fake ones because I couldn't get it to actually look attractive.
I've read your blog since I saw your design in knitty. I'm still patiently awaiting the day I can order yarn for that one. eff you, budget imposed yarn diets!

I've been reading your blog almost since you started it, but I don't think I've ever commented. Your knitting is always so inspiring, and I love hearing about your adventures. I've also been struggling with job searchiness throughout the past year, so it's good to not feel alone in that. Anyway, beautiful knitting, and happy blogiversary!

I covet your buttons.
And I fancy your knitting.
I, too, have been reading your blog regularly since stumbling upon it from Knitty.

I've read your blog since pre-Nieman days, of course - in fact, I recall the very moment when I realised that the delightful Nieman design was by a blogger I actually 'knew'! Brought a tear of pride to my eye, that did... anyway, happy about-a-year blogging and here's to many more!

I really like the shade of green you picked for that sweater! And I totally agree with you about the never-ending cold and wind...did you notice the thundersnow on Sunday? Or did that only hit Cambridge and not the other side of the Charles?
Happy blogiversary! I enjoy both the knitting and the non-knitting content of your blog. Nice hair, btw.

April 2005
The Woolly Mammoth at the Royal BC Museum, Victoria, British Columbia. Source: Wikimedia Commons.
Approximately 11,000 years ago 76 percent of North American megafauna (those animals weighing more than 100 pounds) became extinct, though the causes of the extinction are still unknown. Perhaps the most readily recognizable member of that group is the mammoth.
Mammoths are members of the family Elephantidae. Their closest living relatives are the African elephants (Loxodonta africana and Loxodonta cyclotis) and the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). Elephantidae appeared in North Africa nearly 3.5 million years ago and migrated to Europe, Asia, and ultimately to North America.
There were several species of mammoths in North America: pygmy forms (Mammuthus exilis) inhabiting islands off the coast of California; large, temperate grassland forms (Mammuthus columbi); and sub-Arctic denizens (Mammuthus primigenius), known as woolly mammoths. Woolly mammoths have been preserved in the permafrost zones of the Arctic regions—especially Siberia and Alaska—presenting the possibility of creating a living reproduction of an extinct animal through cloning.
The cloning question
The recovery of the Jarkov Mammoth from the permafrost of the Taimyr Peninsula, Siberia, was featured in the Discovery Channel's television documentary "Raising the Mammoth." A portion of the program was devoted to the possibility of cloning a woolly mammoth, if high-quality DNA could be recovered from the carcass. That concept caught the imagination of people of all ages worldwide. The response was a large number of questions and comments, both pro and con, on the possibility, feasibility, and consequences of such an endeavor.
The DNA recovered from the Jarkov Mammoth was of insufficient quantity and quality to allow any further experiments with that individual. Another mammoth, known as the Fishhook Mammoth , also from the Taimyr Peninsula, provided better DNA but was still unsuitable for a cloning process. Many researchers feel there will never be a good enough DNA sample preserved in animals frozen under natural conditions because of the degrading effects of freeze-thaw cycles and microbes in the soil. On the other hand, there are many frozen specimens within the permafrost regions of the northern hemisphere, and one of them may produce satisfactory DNA.1,2
The controversy
Almost instantaneously, opposition to a possible cloning project began. The arguments fell into several categories: (1) legality of cloning, (2) morality, (3) feasibility, and (4) potential of success. These will be addressed briefly here.
One of the first items to surface on the Internet was a legal brief from the Stanford University Law School, San Jose, California.3 This treatise covers many aspects of potentially cloning a mammoth, but it basically concludes there is no legal barrier, nationally or internationally, to prevent such an experiment.
The question of the morality of such a project was addressed in the legal brief mentioned above, but it was encountered most commonly in emails, letters, articles, and verbal exchanges. These reactions fell into several general groupings (and miscellaneous others):
(a) These animals are extinct. Are we playing God by trying to resurrect them?
(b) Cloning will create monsters that will destroy life as we know it.
(c) There are no modern environments suitable for these creatures.
(d) It would be inhumane.
(e) Such an endeavor would release a plague of unknown diseases on Earth.
The counterpoints to these arguments are as follows:
(a) Mammoths are extinct, yet some remnant populations survived to at least 3700 years ago on a small island in the Arctic Ocean.4 There is also evidence that mammoths were extant on St. Paul Island, in the Alaskan Pribolofs, until as late as 7980 years ago.5 How did two populations of insular mammoths survive the extinction of continental mammoths? There is compelling evidence that humans had a role in mammoth extinction, at least in North America. If humans were instrumental in mammoth extinction, perhaps human technology would compensate by allowing them to once again walk the Earth.
(b) If such a project, however conceived, were successful, the result would not be some monster out of Jurassic Park. It would be similar to an elephant, although hairier. Initially, it would look and act like a juvenile elephant, needing to be nurtured, guided, and taught by the surrogate elephant mother that carried it in the womb.
(c) Many people, including some of the Siberian expedition team, claim it would be impossible to replicate the environment of the woolly mammoth, and therefore cloning would be a disservice to the restored mammoth. We do not actually know what the environmental conditions were where the woolly mammoth lived; in fact, finding out is one of the research goals of restoring the extinct animal. Most experts agree that the woolly mammoth lived in a cold, dry grassland called the Mammoth Steppe.6 Many of the plants found in the digestive tract of the frozen mammoths still grow in Siberia today. Even if there is no remnant of the mammoth's environment, we have expert nutritionists on hand who could create "mammoth chow" (in very large bags, of course). In Sahka (or Yakutia) land has been set aside for a Pleistocene Park where muskoxen, bison, and Przewalski's horses have been reintroduced alongside the native animals such as bears, wolves, and reindeer. The only missing megafauna are woolly mammoths, woolly rhinos, and cave lions. Russian scientists have stated they would welcome clones to the park.
(d) We have been besieged by people who say, "it is not humane to clone a mammoth," "it will be treated just like a laboratory rat," "why don't you use the research expertise for projects that benefit humans, like the recent cloning of five piglets to supply heart valves?" But is it humane to clone creatures that will be butchered for their body parts, to be used as spares for humans?
(e) As for loosing plagues on the Earth, there are hundreds of frozen, extinct animals that are defrosted by natural means each year. To our knowledge there have been no recorded maladies or plagues from such natural events.
Experts in the cloning field have claimed that if DNA of suitable quality and quantity is recovered, there will be little difficulty in producing a clone. The cloning potential lies in two differing methodologies:
(1) Sex cells. A Japanese team of researchers headed by Drs. K. Goto and A. Iritani has attempted several expeditions to collect sex cells (eggs or sperm) from frozen mammoths in Siberia. To date, these attempts have failed. (Note: Even if successful, this method would produce a hybrid offspring, 50 percent Mammuthus and 50 percent Elephas.)
(2) Body cells. As with Dolly, the cloned sheep, it is not necessary to have sexual reproduction to obtain a clone. In this technique, the egg of an Asian elephant would have the nucleus destroyed and replaced with the nucleus of a mammoth specimen. If successful, the resulting clone would be genetically all mammoth.
Possibilities of success
The technology of cloning is new and its potential mostly unrealized, but there are reasons to be optimistic:
There have been many recent cloning successes: sheep, calves, kittens, monkeys, guars, mouflon sheep, the Arabian oryx, the African quagga, and others.
Successful cloning of an extinct species may lead to techniques and procedures to save currently endangered species. Examples include the Japanese ibis, the Chinese giant panda, the Australian hairy nosed wombat, and others.
There may even be successes with recently extinct animals such as the New Zealand moa and the Tasmanian thylacine, or marsupial wolf.
There is also the possibility of creating a frozen zoo for sperm, eggs, and cells of endangered species.
I'll conclude with a statement by Salsberg: "With these procedural and ethical standards and safeguards in place, it is my belief that the benefits of resurrecting the mammoth can be fully realized, while minimizing or completely avoiding most, if not all, of the project's harms and questionable applications."3
A different perspective
A very different perspective, at least from the view of a North American, is shown by the following analogy: It can be demonstrated that humans had a hand in the North American extinction of the mammoths (and possibly other Pleistocene megafauna). There are numerous mammoth kill sites as evidence (although too few in the view of Grayson and Meltzer,7,8 who were rebutted by Fiedel and Haynes9).
Leaving that argument to stand, consider the following: In prehistoric and protohistoric North America there were many wolves (Canis lupis) and grizzly bears (Ursus horribilis). With the expansion of European settlers as farmers and ranchers, these carnivores were exterminated, or at least removed from large regions of western North America, often with the aid of national governments. Now, in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, wolves and grizzly bears are being reintroduced to former ranges, in spite of the opposition of farmers and ranchers, with the support and protection of national governments.
Conclusion: If two carnivores were exterminated from areas of western North America by humans and are now being reintroduced to old ranges, is there a moral, legal, ethical, or environmental difference from the proposed reintroduction (albeit by cloning) of an extinct herbivore (mammoth), which can be demonstrated to have been driven to extinction (at least in part) by humans?

Yesterday, in an effort to go places spontaneously more often, my boyfriend and I drove down to Woodstock. It was a nice mild day, although a few of my favorite shops have closed since we were there last, like Chez Grand'mere, and made my mood droop just the tiniest bit. Next time I want to take a trip to another nearby town and inspect an antique store I've heard rave review about, but this time we ate giant cheeseburgers and loads of tea, a few bars of soap that I have a very hard time not licking (it smells soo good!), and a My Little Pony Seahorse.
I grabbed this skirt on Friday from my favorite antique/vintage store on my weekly visit. I almost didn't see it--the pile of dresses I tried on over my clothes were all a bust--and I was ready to leave with just a sweet little blouse before I saw a crumpled pile of keys on navy blue sitting by the register. I ran to the back, slid it on over my jeans to make sure it fit my waist, and it was mine! All mine!
It is exactly the kind of thing I always hope to find. Something not too twee, but with a certain silhouette and something silly about it, like little keys. I ironed her right up and tossed her in the dryer for a quick fluff with lavender oil so I could wear it the next day without smelling musty.
Next week, even though we are going to NYC for a concert and to visit a lovely friend, I think I might grab the floor-length floral dress from that shop. I've been staring at it for years, it would require almost no mending, and is generally a dream. Hopefully no one else will fall in love with it before I get there, or it would be the most tragic of love stories for me.
Also, thank you to everyone who left me their links, and thank you to all of you lovely darlings who have linked to me! I'm so excited to read some new blogs <3 I think I've gotten everyone who left one, but I'll be checking still through the next week or so to make sure.

Küntzi, Hans and Kleinhans (16th century)
Hans Küntzi and his son Kleinhans (or Junghans) were both wool weavers of Oberglatt, canton of Zurich, Switzerland. They were natives of Klingnau in the canton of Aargau, and in 1526 were among the Anabaptists there. Kleinhans Küntzi was active in the canton of Zurich, from which he was banished between 1526 and 1529. He baptized many Anabaptist converts. He was executed at Liechtenstein before 26 December 1529. A Paul (Pauli) Kuntzi from Stalden in the canton of Bern was named as Anabaptist in 1535.

Using LibraryThing for Genealogy
11 comments:
I started using Shelfari a couple of years ago -- it's been a very useful tool for me. My Shelfari widget is on my Relatively Fiction blog (mostly mysteries, though, with a few history books too).ReplyDelete
Really interesting post. Thanks. I've started adding my books to LibraryThing in the past, but gave up due to the scale of the task (I need a new house for books - ha!. Also many of mine don't have ISBN numbers. Being able to search the NLS catalogue helps, but I was having to enter a lot of details manually. Your experience is quite inspiring though. I may give it another go.ReplyDelete
In the meantime I use Goodreads to manage my recreational reading. It keeps track of books I have to read (physically piled up, or waiting on my Kindle, or on my Amazon Kindle wishlist), and those I've read. I like being able to produce a list of books read at the end of the year/month/whenever.
Love the opening line about buying old books and not reading them - ditto! I have a fair few here which I suspect will finally be read when I reach retirement, which at the current rate will be when I am 93.ReplyDelete
Library Thing sounds interesting - can it be used to catalogue magazine articles? And does it have an application to help you find the book you know you have but which you haven't seen in three and half years?!
Reading this made me revisit my own Library Thing account, which I see was set up in September 2007. I don't think I've used it since! I can totally identify with your first two paragraphs - as a haunter of second hand bookshops I have more than once bought a book I already owned.ReplyDelete
As an early adopter of LibraryThing I find it a useful resource for genealogy and am following a number of genies in my Private Watch List, perhaps I should follow in a more public way. I have now added your name to this list and look forward to perusing your library.ReplyDelete
I am wrestling with whether I should have a second account just for genealogy related books as my bibliaugrapher account lists all the books I have read or own. For the moment my small genealogy collection is just tagged "Genealogy" in the bibliaugrapher account.
I put in a proposal to present on Librarything at a forthcoming genealogy conference - if I am successful I would appreciate being able to talk further with you on this topic.
Buying books then never reading them is obviously a common trait amongst genealogists!ReplyDelete
I see we've a lot of books in common (including ('The Scottish hosiery and knitwear industry, 1680-1980'!) but I think it'll take more than a few hours to enter my collection :)
Sounds interesting - I'll need to give it a try & it might be useful to keep track of the various old books I've downloaded from the internet archive which I keep loosing. These might be the final spur to prod me into buying a Kindle.
Thanks to everyone for the comments. Interesting to read about other similar services people are using. I perhaps should have explored the various options before entering my books into LibraryThing as I don't think I could go through it all again!ReplyDelete
Chris - I think you could add information on the location of your books to keep track of them in the future but that probably won't help with ones that are currently missing!
Geniaus - I'm still a newbie when it comes to LibraryThing but would be happy to share my thoughts so please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Sheena - You'll have to tell me if 'The Scottish hosiery and knitwear industry' is worth a read! I also thought of adding books I've downloaded from the internet archive as apart from a few I use regularly I tend to forget what I have, but I ran out of energy after entering the others. It could definitely be a useful way of keeping track of them.
Interesting blog I too have books I have not read mainly about photography and photoshop. Now following your tweetsReplyDelete
Not sure that would help Kirsty - they are supposed to be on my shelves! I would just write "shelf" down, and still be disappointed.ReplyDelete
Damn this eternal war to keep organised...! :) lol
- Anonymous6 August 2011 at 11:44
Is there anyone in Scotland who buys or sells unwanted Genealogy books? Someone asked me this the other day.ReplyDelete
Re: previous commentReplyDelete
I don't know of anyone that specialises in secondhand genealogy books. I would imagine that many secondhand booksellers would take genealogy books. I've certainly bought a lot of mine secondhand, mostly from charity shops but also from commercial booksellers including on a trip to Wigtown where you can find just about every type of book - see http://www.wigtown-booktown.co.uk/

Associate Professor of Psychology
Please visit my lab : The West Interpersonal Perception Lab
Broadly speaking, my research focuses on understanding the nature and dynamics of social perception. Nearly all of my work examines basic processes in person perception at the level of the dyad and group, addressing both theoretical and methodological issues in the study of interpersonal and intergroup relations.
My general line of research examines how the processes of social perception operate in same- and cross-group interactions, with a specific focus on relations between Whites and racial and ethnic minorities. I use a multi-method approach to studying dyadic- and group-level interactions. In this line of work, I am focusing on methods of improving communication between Whites and ethnic minorities in laboratory interactions and in daily interactions between college roommates.
I also have a general theoretical interest in accuracy and bias in person perception, and I am currently developing new analytical methods for examining these two related perceptual processes.

Look Out! Not My Job Guest Sen. Mark Warner Gets Quizzed On Warnings
And now the game where we ask significant people about insignificant things.
SAGAL: This is a surprise?
SENATOR MARK WARNER: Are you talking about my day job?
SAGAL: Mark Warner says that he got off to a good start, making it to Harvard Law School, but then promptly failed at everything he tried. No wonder, then, that he had to settle for a career in the U.S. Senate.
SAGAL: He's a current Democratic Senator from Virginia, and he is the former Governor of that great commonwealth. We are delighted to have him here in Chicago. Senator Mark Warner welcome to WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
SAGAL: Now you, although being well-known for your association with Virginia, are not from there originally, right?
WARNER: Shh.
SAGAL: Oh really?
WARNER: No, I'm actually originally from Indiana and then moved to Virginia after college and law school.
SAGAL: Really, and they don't hold that against you? I thought they were very, what's the word, hateful toward outsiders.
SAGAL: So you had gone to Virginia in business, right, you were a...
WARNER: Yeah, I got out of law school and tried to become a business guy, first time took my life savings, invested in a little energy startup company, went to work that company, helped the company go broke in six weeks.
SAGAL: Six weeks?
WARNER: Went into real estate and failed at that in six months. And I was literally flat broke living out of my car, and this is back 1982, and there was this new technology coming around called cell phones. And I went to all my law school classmates, who were at all these fine firms, and said, you know, there's this new things called cell phones, we ought to invest in it.
And to a person, they all said Warner, go get a real job. Who's going to want a cell phone? Most of them still practicing law.
SAGAL: Now this - it's interesting, so you were a Harvard Law School graduate, and you were living out of your car?
FAITH SALIE: Did you start thinking maybe you should've majored in art history?
WARNER: No, but I do have a middle daughter who just graduated in art history.
SAGAL: No really?
WARNER: She's going to be really upset about the show.
SAGAL: I know, well she got an apology. What is her ambition, other than to sponge off you?
SAGAL: So you were in Virginia, you were a successful businessman, and you decided to run against, ironically enough, a well-known senator from Virginia named John Warner. So it was Warner v. Warner.
WARNER: It confused the heck out of everybody.
SAGAL: Mark - how did...?
WARNER: What happened was, you know, here he had been in for a long, long time, good guy actually, people in Virginia were smart in rehiring him and not me, but, you know, I was a tech guy. He was the established senator. He'd actually been married to Elizabeth Taylor at one point. And so our campaign, our one good idea was we had a bumper strip that said on it simply Mark, not John.
SAGAL: Right.
WARNER: And people would come up and say is that a biblical reference?
SAGAL: Really?
WARNER: Honestly, yes.
SAGAL: That probably gave you some credibility in some...
WARNER: Well again, I got the silver medal.
SAGAL: There you are, exactly. If you had won, did you get to be married to Elizabeth Taylor? Was that part of the thing?
WARNER: Now that didn't work out, but you did eventually get elected governor, which was nice. And in Virginia, which is interesting, they only let people be governor once.
It is. It's the last state in the country with a one-term governor restriction. That's the downside. The upside is you don't get introduced as governor, you get introduced as His Excellency The Governor of the Commonwealth, and everybody has to stand up.
SAGAL: Really?
WARNER: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
SAGAL: You get to be - you actually get to be an excellency?
WARNER: You get to be an excellency, and people would stand up. My wife and three daughters never would, but it was pretty cool.
ROY BLOUNT JR.: I hope at least one time when somebody referred to you as your excellency you said you're not so bad yourself.
SAGAL: No you've been in the Senate since 2009, right? You were elected in 2008. And you've really become known, I think, in the Senate for your work on one specific issue, and that is trying to deport Justin Bieber.
SAGAL: Obviously you're riding a popular wave. Could you tell me how you became interested in expunging this menace to everything we hold dear?
WARNER: I was going to work and doing a radio show, and...
SAGAL: Always a mistake.
WARNER: And it was out of Virginia Beach, where we've got the Navy and lots of stuff, and I'm talking about the Navy, and I'm talking about the budget and these things. And I've done the show before. And the guy goes, well, Senator, you know, what do you think about this thing about deporting Justin Bieber? And I said I don't know as a senator, but as a father of three daughters, 19 to 24, I'll sign the petition.
WARNER: And I, you know, went to a hearing, gave a speech, and I came into the office a couple hours later, and the whole place was exploding, and they were going oh Senator, Senator, we've had more press in three hours on Justin Bieber than five years trying to work on the budget.
SAGAL: Everybody wanted to know.
WARNER: Everybody wanted to know.
SAGAL: You know, this could be, I'm just saying, you're one of 100. This might be your ticket to prominence, convene a committee of some kind, the Committee for Investigation of Canadian Activities, and this would be awesome. You can drag up witnesses and say are you now or have you ever been a Belieber.
SAGAL: I'm telling you, this would be awesome.
ALONZO BODDEN: I somehow think going up against millions of Beliebers is scarier than the Tea Party.
SAGAL: Now you're...
WARNER: They're both about equally informed.
SALIE: Yeah, you have three girls...
SAGAL: Oh, fighting words.
WARNER: My daughter texted me after that, and she said please don't deport Justin.
SAGAL: Really? You're running for re-election this cycle, which must be a little daunting, right.
WARNER: Long road show.
SAGAL: Long road show. Speaking of road show, you're here in Chicago. You're fundraising, right?
WARNER: Kind of what most of us do in this - too much in this business.
SAGAL: I've always wondered about this. I mean, I can't imagine what it would be like to have to ask strangers for money to support you doing your job.
SAGAL: It seems so humiliating and certainly far beneath my dignity. But have you ever been, like, faced with a wealthy donor, like somebody who's, like, going to write you that massive check that's going to, like, solve your financial problems for the week, and he is just being an idiot, and you just can't tell them that, and you just have to bite your tongue, and you just want to say I'm sorry but no amount of money is worth me listening to this nonsense?
WARNER: That was why I was a business guy and made money first, before I went into politics.
SAGAL: Really? I mean, but you know as a business guy that having a lot of money does not make you necessarily smart, right?
SAGAL: I'm just saying.
WARNER: That's not what us one-percenters think.
SAGAL: Really, he just gave me a look of such incomprehension. It was like you mean it doesn't? Well, Senator Warner, a pleasure to meet you and to talk to you, but it is time now to play a game that we're calling:
CARL KASELL: Danger, get away.
SAGAL: Sure, you call yourself a Warner, but do you ever really warn anybody about anything? We're going to three questions about things and people who are actually trying to warn others of imminent danger. Get two right, you'll win a prize for one of our listeners. Are you ready to play?
WARNER: I'm ready.
SAGAL: Here we go. Carl, who is Senator Warner playing for?
KASELL: The senator is playing for Linda Dunn of Ramsey, New Jersey.
SAGAL: All right, here's your first question. A lot of warning labels are placed on products in reactions to prior lawsuits, such as which one of these: A, a warning that you could hurt your hands when you clap for the Clapper, remember clap on, clap off; B, that maybe you're born with it, maybe it's Maybelline, and maybe it causes pinkeye; or C, that you should just stretch it before you just do it because you could just pull it?
JR.: Don't look at me.
BODDEN: We've got nothing.
WARNER: In the era of digital - C.
SAGAL: C, you're going to go for C, you should just stretch it before you just do it?
WARNER: In the Nike theme of earlier.
SAGAL: The Nike theme of earlier. No actually, it was A. It was the Clapper. After a lawsuit filed against the Clapper company, the label on the Clapper sound-activated light switch now says you don't have to clap very hard.
SAGAL: All right, you still have two more chances here. In November, police in Norfolk, England, issued a warning to all residents to do what: A, to report anyone pronouncing Norfolk in a hilarious way; B, to ignore anyone dressed as a clown walking down the street; or B, be aware that once they pop, they will not be able to stop.
WARNER: Well, since one of our largest cities in Virginia is Norfolk, I will - I'll go with A.
SAGAL: You're going to go with A, Norfolk? It was actually ignore the clowns.
SAGAL: Apparently there were people walking around dressed as clowns in Norfolk, and they were trying to attract attention. So police were like just leave the clown be.
BODDEN: So they have clowns wandering the streets, and here in America we can't get a clown?
SAGAL: It's true. We should have...
SALIE: We're outsourcing our clowns.
BODDEN: Your Excellency, I think once you get done with the Bieber deal, you've got to bring some clowns...
SAGAL: Last - one more question. See if you can get this one. Last year, the London Fire Department issued a warning to all residents to be careful not to get stuck in objects, after they received an emergency call from which of these: a man stuck in his own shirt; B, a man stuck in an entry level job; or C, a child with its hand trapped in a vending machine, a child with its head stuck in an ironing board, an adult stuck in a child's toy car, a child with its head stuck in a massage chair, someone with a test tube stuck on their finger and a child with a tambourine stuck on its head.
WARNER: Definitely C.
SAGAL: Absolutely.
SAGAL: And that was just a partial list of the things that the citizens of London have gotten themselves stuck in when the fire department issued that warning. Carl, how did Senator Warner do on our quiz?
KASELL: One correct answer, but he needed at least two to win for Linda Dunn.
SAGAL: Senator Mark Warner is one of the top two senators from the state of Virginia.
SAGAL: Mark Warner thank you so much for joining us. Senator Mark Warner, everybody.
SAGAL: In just a minute Carl gets yippy in our listener limerick challenge. Call 1-888-WAIT-WAIT, to join us on air.
