a tailored line: EDM #124 - something yellow
EDM #124 - something yellow
watercolor sketchbook, 5x7, 140lb coldpress
Something yellow - with a hint of blue and red, one of my favorite color combinations. This started out as a pencil sketch in my garden journal but I decided to transfer it to this sketchbook because of the texture and weight. Most of my journals can take light washes but heavier applications are better suited for this paper. I love this sign with rusted wire hanging simply from a nail on the fencing in my patio area. And actually there's a lot more fencing and lattice that I left out so I could concentrate on the focal point :)
The color yellow has many meanings, but to me it symbolizes happiness, hope, sunshine, cheerfulness, warmth and relaxation. I've always liked surrounding myself with words that have special meaning to me and Peace is one of them. It's a universal word I think and associated with everything from the political 60's (the word originated with the Ancient Romans: peace, pax, as absentia belli, the absence of war) to a state of mind. To me it symbolizes serenity, a sense of calm, tranquility, stillness and balance.

Enjoyed them all. The Book Club was written almost 20 years ago but I had to read it with a title like that and written by Mary Alice Monroe.
I am reading this one because a reading challenge I am doing needed an animal in the title. I had already bought this so it fitted. I loved her books Girl in Times Square and The Bronze Horseman so I decided I’d try out this, first in a series. I see Paullina grew up in Russia and now lives in the USA.
Review book and new to me author.

Well I know its Thursday Kathryn but I’m finally ready to start my week. My hubby had surgery, all went well and we’re finally home to stay!! Yay! I can’t wait to see your post on Sarah Morgan’s book and The Book Club from 20 years ago wow! Happy Thursday xo
Delighted to hear things are looking up Debbie and may they continue to do so.
Wow, you read a lot last week. I’m glad they were all good. Have a great week!
That Summer cover is perfection!
I have all of the books you read either coming up or on my TBR – except for The Book Club which definitely sounds like one I need! Have a great week!
The Book Club is an oldie – I think early 2000’s, I chose it because of title and author!
ALL of your books look great to me today!! I love Jenny Colgan. I am excited for her new one, Bookshop on the Shore (or something like that) Have a great week!
Yes Erin I am excited for her new one as well. 🙂
I haven’t read a Paullina Simons book in a while. I LOVED The Bronze Horseman!
I think they were her best books – this one a bit slow so far.
Looks like a good reading week for you! I haven’t read any of those books yet (nor anything by those authors), but they all sound good! Glad you enjoyed them all.
Have a good week, enjoy your books, and thanks for hosting the linkup!
Pingback: It’s Monday, What Are You Reading? | Wadadli Pen
You got in some good reading this week!
I’ve been tempted to pick up The Book Club because I enjoy Mary Alice Monroe’s books. One of these days…
Any title with the words “book” or “books” always gets my full attention!
I’m going to have to check out The Book Club! Have a good week!
All these look great. Sometimes an older book is just what you need. I have so many unread books here right now that many of mine are older ones. Doesn’t mean I don’t buy new ones. 🙂
I need to look for The Book Club and One Summer in Paris. Those look like great books. Have a wonderful week!
Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe looks fun. Thanks for hosting. Have a wonderful week.
I love your challenges. Your books this week sound very readable! Enjoy!
All of those books look so good. I couldn’t resist a book called The Book Club either. I hope you have a great week!
All of the books you read last week look good. The covers go well with each other.
THE BOOK CLUB is catching my eye, and so is ONE MINUTE LATER.
THANKS for sharing, and have a FAB week.
I am so happy to be participating again! Your books look so good. Your mention of Girl in Times Square reminds me that I have that one…still unread.
What a great lineup of books! Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe looks absolutely enchanting.
It’s a rare book lover that can resist a novel with ‘book’ in the title. I haven’t actually read anything by Paullina Simons,, I hope you enjoy The Tiger Catcher.
One Summer in Paris looks like a cute read!
The Book Club looks like a book I would enjoy…I’m definitely going to search it out!
You have a good looking group of books. I’m glad you are enjoying your reading.

A portable information-providing apparatus comprising a position detector, a direction detector, a processor, a memory, and information output device. The position detector provides data of a use's position. The direction detector provides data of a direction as determined by the user. The processor operates to correlate said position and direction data with information of features in the user's surroundings as stored in the memory. The information output device provides the information to the user, the information being related to a feature in the user's surroundings generally along the direction determined by the user.
This application is a 371 of PCT/GB98/01611 dated Jun. 3, 1998.
The invention relates to a portable information providing apparatus for supplying a user with information of features in his surroundings dependent upon his position.
Such apparatus is known, but generally takes the form of navigation apparatus such as shown in UK patent application GB-A-2287535 and European patent application EP-A-0524814.
The present invention consists in a portable information-providing apparatus comprising a position detector which provides data of a user's position, a direction detector which provides data of a direction as determined by the user, a processor which operates to correlate said position and direction data with information of features in the user's surroundings as stored in a memory together with position information of the same, and information output means operative to provide said information to the user, said information being related to a feature in the user's surroundings generally along said direction determined by the user by simply pointing the apparatus in the selected direction towards the feature of interest.
The apparatus preferably includes target proximity indicator means to provide the user with a cue to assist direction selection or pointing in relation to a selected feature. This indicator means may provide visual, audible or tactile cues. In one example, the indicator means may comprise a visible light beam such as formed by a low-power laser that is directed by the user at a target feature and forms a light spot as a visual cue on the feature. In other examples, the indicator means may respond directly to direction data from the direction detector and provide a visual cue on a “magic eye” type indicator such as used in tuning radio receivers, or an audio cue such as produced by Geiger counters, metal detectors or “Star War” Jedi light swords. The user scans the surroundings with the apparatus to point in different directions, and variations in the cue from the indicator means helps guide this pointing activity towards the target feature.
The target proximity indicator preferably incorporates sensitivity control means that adjusts the directional sensitivity or lateral scan sensitivity of the apparatus dependent upon the distance of target features from the user. This makes the apparatus easier to use at different target ranges from a few meters to several kilometres. Furthermore, this sensitivity control can be provided in terms of both azimuth angle and angle of inclination if necessary.
The apparatus may preferably be eye-controlled. In particular, the direction of the user's eye can be detected by the direction detector. Eye-blinking can be monitored, an eye-blink indicating selection of a feature for information provision.
The information output means presents the selected information in any suitable form whether visual, audible or tactile.
The direction detector preferably defines a three-dimensional direction vector, for example as determined by azimuthal bearing data and angle of inclination data.
The position detector preferably defines the user's position in three dimensional space, for example using radio positioning technology such as satellite radio transmissions and/or terrestrial radio transmissions.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic illustration of a portable information-providing device constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention for supplying a user with information about features in the user's surroundings at which the device is pointed.
FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of an information-providing device incorporated into or combined with another apparatus or system.
As shown schematically in FIG. 1, a portable information-providing device constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention comprises the following principle components:
1. A point direction detector (PDD) supplies real-time data defining a three-dimensional directional vector determined by the user's current point direction.
2. A user position detector (UPD) supplies real-time data defining a user's current physical position in three-dimensional space as an x,y,z co-ordinate set.
3. A global chronometer module (GCM) supplies accurate current and historical time & date information.
4. A target position database (TPD) is stored in a memory which holds feature information records (FIR) relating to a pre-defined spatially indexed target set.
5. A central processing unit (CPU) operates to correlate said user position, point direction, current time and target position data, to retrieve and present feature records—and generally to manage all aspects of apparatus operation, including data decryption and user subscription control.
6. A target proximity indicator (TPI) informs the use of the existence of targets on or close to the pointing direction path prior to their selection.
7. A search perspective control (SPC) progressively adjusts the lateral, radial and/or vertical sensitivity of the TPI as a function of distance from the user's location or the type of feature or the spacing of features or as a result of a linkage to the zoom and/or focus controls of an associated optical instrument or photographic apparatus.
8. A user presentation interface (UPI) supplies the feature information associated with a selected target to the user in a suitable form.
The Point Direction Detector (PDD) will typically, but not exclusively, employ a handheld electronic compass engine (ECE) or dead-reckoning module (DRM) for the detection of the earth's magnetic and gravitational fields to determine the three dimensional direction vector of the path in which the device is being pointed. Such ECE or DRM technology usually employs some form of magnetic sensor (eg. a magnetometer) providing azimuthal bearing data in degrees of arc together with some form of tilt sensor (eg. an accelerometer) providing angular tilt data in degrees of arc which can be combined by a suitable CPU to provide an accurate bearing in three dimensions. In other embodiments of the invention, the PDD could be built into a set of eye-glasses worn on the user's head with target bearings being determined by the attitude of the glasses themselves or by the actual direction of the user's gaze as determined by monitoring of his eye-movement.
The User Position Detector (UPD) will typically, but not exclusively, employ wireless technology for the reception of satellite or terrestrial radio transmissions to determine the user's current x,y,z spatial co-ordinates. Such transmissions can currently be derived from the US DoD Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites or the Russian GLONASS satellites and for greater accuracy may be combined with Differential GPS (dGPS) data transmissions provided by local FM/RDS, GSM, coast-guard or any other convenient source. The UPD may equally well derive its positional data from entirely different sources, for instance employing the Cambridge Positioning Systems (CPS) CURSOR concept or any other convenient positioning technology.
The Global Chronometer Module (GCM) will provide accurate time & date information. The apparatus can employ this data to determine the current status of those target features. or aspects of such features, which are dependent not only on position but also on certain times, dates and/or seasons, eg. the identification of heavenly bodies, shop or museum opening times, public transport availability etc. The GCM can also be used to re-construct the positions of features as they were at some given time in the past, or to predict their positions at some given time in the future.
The Target Position Database (TPD) is a pre-defined spatially-indexed digital encyclopedia of natural or man-made features stored in a structured repository and individually linked to an associated feature information record (FIR). Each feature is uniquely identifiable in terms of a) a position or position range in the form of a set or sets of x,y,z spatial co-ordinates. and b) a time or time range.
The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is any suitable on-board micro-processor or host micro-computer or combination of these employing any suitable System Architecture (SA) or Operating System (OS) which will satisfactorily link and co-ordinate the activities of all the component modules of the apparatus and enable them to inter-communicate and function together in unison. The user retrieves a given feature information record (FIR) by issuing an activate record command (ARC) to the CPU. This command will cause the CPU to present the user with the information record associated with the target closest to the PDD vector at the moment of issue which also fulfills or best matches all other required criteria. The ARC can be issued by any of several possible means, tactile, audible or visible. A typical tactile ARC implementation would involve pressing a button. A typical audible ARC implementation would involve issuing a verbal command. A typical visible ARC implementation would involve blinking of the eyes (eg. this could be advantageously combined with a glasses-based or headup-type PDD).
The Target Proximity Indicator (TPI) is designed to assist the user in the process of browsing his surroundings by supplying a user selectable range of visual, audible or tactile cues to help guide his pointing activity towards the pre-defined target locations. The visual cues may take the form of a visible light beam extending from the apparatus in the direction of pointing (eg. provided by a low-power laser) or of a local “magic-eye” indicator of a type similar to those employed by old-fashioned radio tuners to indicate station proximity. Such visual indicators may be supplemented (or replaced) either by a range of suitable sound cues (eg. a Geiger counter, a metal detector, a “Star Wars” Jedi light-sword etc.) or by tactile cues (eg. vibrations, jolts, heating & cooling sensations-etc.)
The Search Perspective Control (SPC) is designed as an adjunct to the TPI to aid the user's browsing activity by progressively adjusting the lateral, radial and/or vertical sensitivity of the TPI among other factors as a function of distance from the user. As the visible light beam mentioned above was designed to make explicit, the pointing activity of the apparatus can be conceived of as involving a “search beam”, the notional path of which is used to identify targets. To make the device easier to use at different target ranges (ie. from a few metres to several kilometres) the angular spread of the beam path can be adjusted (manually and/or automatically) from a wide angle (eg. a maximum of 90°) for very close range use, to an extremely narrow one (eg. 0.01° or less) for long range use, a function conceptionally similar to the familiar “zooming” of a camera lens between wide-angle and tele-photo modes. This means that, despite a narrow angle of spread, the effective width of the beam—or lateral sensitivity of the TPI—at distances of several kilometres from the user will become quite large. The assumption is that the target groups being searched at great distances will tend to be widely spaced natural features, and that in this way the responsiveness of the TPI will remain intuitively appropriate over distance, corresponding in effect to our innate sense of visual perspective. In alternative embodiments, the sensitivity may be adjusted according to the actual spacing of features or the type of features observed. Where the apparatus is used to target extra-terrestrial features the lateral sensitivity adjustment can be augmented by a corresponding vertical one. In a similar fashion, the radial sensitivity of the beam can be constrained to a more or less narrow and moveable band somewhere along its projected path, a function conceptually similar to the focusing of a telescope or camera on objects at a given range.
The User Presentation Interface (UPI) supplies information associated with the selected feature to the user in any suitable form, visual, audible or tactile. A visual UPI would typically take the form of an LED, LCD, TFT or similar portable flat-screen display unit, but alternative embodiments might employ a head-up display in the form of special eye-glasses or a holographic projection. An audible UPI would most likely take the form of a loudspeaker, headphone or earpiece. A tactile UPI would probably be intended primarily for the use of the blind and/or deaf-blind, and most likely take the form of a Braille generating device (eg. gloves, foot-wear or body-pads). Any combination of the above is possible. In implementations where it is physically separate from the CPU, a given UPI module will be linked to the CPU by either cable or wireless means and employ any suitable technology including infra-red, radio or PAN (Personal Area Network)-type “body modems”.
A device according to the invention does not need to employ a graphical user interface, or a graphical database (ie. a digital map). The feature information can be stored, processed and delivered to the user in plain text (natural language). Presentation can be implemented either on a visual display or, more conveniently and cost-effectively, via a headphone or earpiece as synthesised speech. This means that the device also requires correspondingly less processing capability, memory capacity and power supply, all of which are fundamental limiting factors restricting the rapid growth of comparable devices. Also, because the interface does not rely on graphical information, it is both more flexible with regards to its potential range of embodiments and user interfaces, and also much easier to operate, being in effect fully automatic. The apparatus is thus potentially both far more compact and robust in design, and much cheaper to manufacture and own than a comparable graphics-based device.
With regard to its flexibility, the device can be operated by either a) pointing the device or a part of the device at or towards a selected target and activating the device by clicking a button, b) looking at or towards a target and activating by blinking, or c) aligning some other pre-determined part of the body to face the target and activating the device by any other pre-defined means.
The device can be handheld, carried about the person (e.g., in a bag, back-back, walking-stick or cane, pocket, belt, glove, hat or shoe), worn on the finger (like a ring), on the wrist (like a watch), on the head (like spectacles, headphones or earphones), in the ear (like a hearing-aid)—or any combination of these. The apparatus can also be fitted to an animal (e.g., a guide or rescue dog or dolphin) and can be used to inform either a human companion or the animal itself or both at once. As shown in FIG. 2, a device 10 such as that shown in FIG. 1 can also be combined with other apparatus or systems 12, such as:
a) portable electronics like mobile computers, telephones, pagers, watches, hearing-aids, dictaphones, radios & hi-fi equipment;
b) portable optical and photographic instruments, either analogue or digital, like eye-glasses, binoculars, telescopes, sights, range finders, sextants, photographic cameras, film cameras and video cameras, and surveying instruments; and
c) navigation systems and robot guidance systems.
Once a target is established, any data linked to it in the database can be supplied to the user in the form and sequence, and at the rate, that he wishes—or that is pre-defined by the specific application. The database can be provided on removable media, to increase application range. Equally well, the database can be enlarged enhanced or updated remotely by wireless data transfer (data broadcast). This last can advantageously be effected using the same carrier signal as that supplying the dGPS data or other positional information.
In the case of optical instruments a direct link could be established between the user's optical field of view—including the effects of panning, zooming focusing etc.—and the target search functions—in particular Search Perspective Control of the apparatus. The Target Proximity Indicator and other information related to the use of the apparatus could be conveniently displayed in the optical instrument's vision field, as is traditional with such photographic parameters like light intensity.
In the case of use with cameras and video cameras, in addition to supplying feature information to the user, the apparatus could use the same information to automatically title or caption the finished images or film sequences, or even to provide a fully synchronised commentary to the latter, which would be editable “off-line” along with the images.
A special embodiment of the apparatus could perform the above function entirely “off-line”, during post-processing or viewing, on the basis of the camera position as detected by the User Position Detector (UPD), lens direction as detected by the Point Direction Detector (PDD) and field of vision parameters (eg. zoom and focus settings), captured with the images at the time of exposure.
The device is capable of providing information of the two following main varieties, corresponding to two main user-selectable modes of operation:
a) Day-time: the name of a selected landscape feature or prominent landmark (eg. Mount Everest, Grand Canyon. Wookey Hole, etc.) followed by a description (eg. geographical, topological, geological, botanical, archaeological, historical, political. etc.)
b) Night-time: the name of a selected natural heavenly body (ea. Moon. Great Bear Constellation, Haley's Comet, Venus, Pole Star) followed by a description (e,. astronomical, astrophysical, astrological, etc.)
2. Man-made Features
a) Outdoors: the name of the feature or prominent structure (eg. Buckingham Palace, Houses of Parliament, Balls Pond Road, Wreck of the Titanic, etc.) followed by a description (eg. private residence, Victorian folly, ancient causeway, boating accident, etc.)
In the case of buildings, the device could supply the postal address, the name of the owner and/or occupier, their telephone number—and any other publicly available information relating to the property, such as its value, function, history and architectural characteristics.
b) Indoors: in a museum, art gallery, exhibition, warehouse, shopping, mall, hotel, railway station, airport—or any other public area—the identity of designated items followed by appropriate information.
c) Mobile targets: for instance vehicles, trains, vessels, aircraft and spacecraft which—unlike static targets—would either have to exhibit extremely predictable behaviour (eg. trains and satellites) or themselves have to be equipped with a real-time position and identity transmitter—linked to a central database—which would in turn have to be accessible to the apparatus (eg. via a mobile phone data link).
Significantly, and with regard to both the above groups 1 and 2, if required to do so, the apparatus is also able to re-construct the positions of features as they were at some given time in the past or to predict their positions at some given time in the future.
This functionality may be of particular interest to tourists, historians, archaeologists & astronomers.
The device can potentially be employed for the guidance, orientation or general “edutainment” of many different user groups in a wide variety of circumstances:
Public services police, fire, ambulance, doctors, social-workers and others
Leisure pursuits tourist and sporting activities—town and country, land and sea
Delivery services postal, parcel, courier, taxis, Chinese takeaway . . . etc.
Retail outlets shops & restaurants etc. who could advertise goods and services
Special interest estate agents, developers, environmentalists, students . . .
Handicapped as an electronic “guide-dog” for blind and deaf-blind people
Children an educational toy, but could really be handy if they get lost
General public a hi-tech novelty—but also a genuinely useful orientation aid.

Santiago-based power company Colbun SA, which holds 49 percent of 2,750-megawatt HidroAysen, said last night it wants to indefinitely suspend plans to seek environmental permission to build transmission lines to the capital. Empresa Nacional de Electricidad SA, known as Endesa, owns the remaining 51 percent.
Colbun, in a statement filed with Chile’s securities regulator, said the country needs broader consensus on its energy policy before HidroAysen can advance. Nationwide protests against the dam, plus delays in other generation projects, have investors concerned the state isn’t providing enough support, Celfin Capital SA’s Cesar Perez said. “This is a project that has tremendous opposition, not only at the domestic level but also at the international level,” Perez, a managing director of the Santiago-based financial services company, said in a phone interview. “They’re not killing the project. What Colbun wants is a guarantee the government will safeguard the investment.”
Brazil’s Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA, known as Eletrobras, is in talks to invest in the project, La Tercera newspaper reported April 29.
Cash FlowsInvestors may be unfazed by yesterday’s setback, which doesn’t affect the owners’ cash flows, Perez said. Colbun fell for the first time in five days, declining 0.3 percent to 137 pesos at 10:32 a.m. in Santiago while Endesa, as the project’s senior partner is known, was little changed. HidroAysen involves building five dams for an estimated $3.2 billion and 1,900 kilometers (1,180 miles) of transmission line to feed the grid that supplies Santiago as well as copper mines operated by state-owned Codelco and Anglo American Plc.
Vulnerable SpeciesEnvironmentalists including Douglas Tompkins, who walked away from his Esprit Holding Ltd. clothing company and moved two decades ago to Patagonia to buy up land for conservation, say the power lines would scar protected areas that are home to 13 endangered and vulnerable animal species, including the pudu, the world’s smallest deer. Protests against the project last year led to hundreds of arrests and millions of dollars in damage to public property.
Chile, which is the world’s top copper producer, needs to double its electricity generating capacity as mining companies such as Codelco and BHP Billiton Ltd. plan $100 billion of expansions, according to Chilean mining society Sonami. Codelco and BHP have called on the government to speed up permitting for new power generators.
The government devised a 20-year energy plan earlier this year and is working with Congress to further improve the investment climate, Energy Minister Jorge Bunster wrote in an e-mailed statement following Colbun’s announcement.
Government intervention has also dissuaded energy investments. In 2010, President Sebastian Pinera asked GDF Suez SA, Europe’s largest natural-gas network operator, to scrap plans to build a 540-megawatt coal-fired power plant on the coastal site of Barrancones after environmental opposition.
Pinera BacklashColbun will wait until Pinera leaves office in 2014 before trying to build HidroAysen, said Patricio Navia, a Chilean political scientist. The billionaire investor’s approval rating stood at 24 percent in April, the lowest of any Chilean president since the return of democracy in 1990, as student protests erode support for the government.

3. Thumb spica splint, NSAIDs for swelling and pain, and follow up with orthopedics
Allison Loynd, on August 24, 2009 at 9:20 am said:
It looks like a Gamekeeper’s thumb or Stener Lesion, but since only one view is available – i’m not 100% sure which direction (volar I am assuming) it has displaced.
it involves damage to the ulnar collateral ligament.
a thumb spica should be fine for most injuries but if a complete tear of the UCL or avaulsion fracture of volar plate – they will need surgical treatment for repair – but that can be done as an outpt.

2) Ulnar collateral ligament.
3) Need to rest thumb and ligament–place in thumb cast or wrist splint. If ligament is torn, may require surgical intervention.
Bao Dang, on August 26, 2009 at 7:15 pm said:
Bennet’s Fracture, the Abductor policis longus, immobilization with spica spint and orthopeadic referal because fracture may require surgery to reduce
Devon Moore, on August 27, 2009 at 2:49 pm said:
1.) Bennett’s fracture
2.) The anterior (volar) oblique ligament
3.) Closed reduction and thumb spica cast immobilization. If it is open or reduction is unsuccessful, then patient will need surgery with pinning.
Shereaf Walid, on August 27, 2009 at 5:42 pm said:
2. the abductor pollicis longus causes lateral retraction of the 1st metacarpal shaft.
3. Here all we have to do is call ortho, but if you had no backup I would:
1. give appropriate analgesia
2. do a closed reduction via thumb traction with metacarpal extension, pronation and abduction. Use the C-arm to verify careful alignment.
3. place in thumb spica and get post reduction films.
4. send to ortho within 3 days b/c the pt needs surgery, they’ll probably place 2 percutaneous K-wires
Brian Junnila, on August 27, 2009 at 6:55 pm said:
1. Bennett’s Fracture Dislocation. It is an oblique intra-articular fracture at the base of the 1st carpometacarpal joint.
2. The volar fragment of the 1st proximal metacarpal (the palmar break fragment) remains articulated with the trapezius bone because it is still anchored by the anterior oblique ligament.
The distal metacarpal fragment (the rest of the 1st metacarpal) is displaced proximally, radially, dorsally and rotated in supination by the Abductor Pollicus Longus tendon which inserts on the radial side of the 1st metacarpal.
3. Attempt closed reduction or percutaneous pin fixation when there is less than 3mm of displacement.
Reduce the fracture by appying inline traction to the metacarpal shaft and rotating it in pronation to bring it into opposition with the non-displaced fragment. Place in a thumb spica splint for 4-6 weeks.
Consider open reduction and internal fixation when there is more than 3mm of displacement.

Butternut Valley Family History: Strait, Kittie A. Toombs 1857-1930 Garrattsville Obituary
Strait, Kittie A. Toombs 1857-1930 Garrattsville Obituary
Mrs. Kittie A. Strait
Mrs. Kittie Alice Toombs, widow of the late Delbert Strait, formerly of Laurens, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Herman Harrington, at Garrattsville, at a little past midnight Saturday evening, Dec. 6, from paralysis from which she had suffered for about eight weeks previous to her death. She was born at Coventry, N. Y., June 1, only daughter of Jonah and Adelaide (Benedict) Toombs. After the death of her father the family moved to the town of Laurens near Gilbert Lake, where they lived for many years.
She was united in marriage to Delbert Strait of Laurens, Jan. 23, 1893, their entire wedding life being passed in that vicinity. After Mr. Strait's death four years ago she moved to Garrattsville where she has since resided. A woman of pleasing personality, very quiet and exceedingly devoted to her home and family. For the past seven years she has very tenderly cared for her invalid mother.
Left to mourn the loss of a loving mother, daughter and sister are three children, Austin Strait, Mrs. Herman Harrington and Mrs. Harry Stickles; her aged mother, and one brother, Edwin Toombs of Pittsfield, and a wide circle of friends who unite with the family in their sorrow.
The funeral was largely attended at her late home Wednesday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. J. C. Calhoun, pastor of the U. P. church at Garrattsville, a close friend of the family. Interment was beside her husband in the Laurens cemetery. The bearers were, Bert Strait, George Strait, Harry Strait and Herman Harrington.

Chasing Miles and Smiles: Gaining Confidence For My Next Big Test (Myrtle Beach Marathon) in 2 Weeks
I hope everyone has been able to stay warm and get in their workouts as we all look forward to the spring running season.
I started off 2013 hating the dreadmill and loved telling anyone who would listen to me how much. Over the last 3 months, as the weather has turned colder, I have had to use the treadmill more often if I am going to make progress towards personal records in upcoming spring marathons (Myrtle Beach in February & Boston in April). Today I did a hard 12 miles on the treadmill and spent some time thinking about how much I actually like running on it. Some of the benefits, I am enjoying are great temperature in the gym, less damage to my body, able to control the pace much better than outside, able to run with my buddies regardless of their pace on the machine beside me at the same time, and able to watch TV while listening to music. The biggest advantage of running on the treadmill is learning to turn my brain off and push through the miles. If I am able to grow being comfortable running and watching the same spot in front me for an hour and not go crazy, it will help me when I am hurting in ultra marathon races. Often on the treadmill, my mind is shouting, "QUIT" this is stupid. The more I can train myself to not listen to the evil voice that wants to me to stay in bed the better, more consistent and stronger I will become. I find it funny, I am able to enjoy something I feared and hated a short time ago. There is probably a life lesson in there for me to reflect on. The more time I spend running and thinking about life, the more I have come to the conclusion that success is determined by my mindset, consistency and attitude. I am trying to find the good in every situation and people; some days it takes more effort than others.
I am feeling good about my training for my first marathon of the year coming up in 2 weeks. My big goal is to break 2:55 at Myrtle Beach assuming good weather. I cannot allow myself to worry about things I don't have control over and weather falls into that category. All I can do on a daily basis is do the work and let the results take care of themselves. Here is another life lesson for me to absorb.
My miles have averaged in the 65 miles per week range. When I get into the 80 miles per week training cycle, injuries start happening and I fall into a fatigued based state on how hard I train. My quality workouts have been on Tuesdays at the track with a 90 minute marathon pace workout, Thursdays have 6 mile tempo run at half marathon speed (20 seconds faster than marathon pace) for 9 miles total and Saturday long runs of 18 or more. I have put in 2 runs of over 26 miles and a 31 mile race in the last 6 weeks. I continue to rest or go to Yoga on Sundays. The other days are easy with my pace being 60 to 90 seconds slower than my marathon pace to give my body a chance to recover. I continue to go to the gym at lunch to do 40 minutes of cross training & plyometrics to strengthen my core. Overall I am happy with this training cycle and am interested to see how my body reacts at mile 21 of the marathon when I dig in for the finish.
What I am most proud of is helping a new runner get ready for his first marathon. His name is Sonny and he is going to do great. Last week we ran 26.2 miles together and I wish you could have seen the smile on his face when he finished. He could not have been happier with himself and told me and Victor over and over, he could not have done it without us. As I get older, these types of moments don't happen as much as I would like. His pace is slow compared to others as his goal is to finish and not walk. Running with Sonny gets me to slow down and helps me to get more time on my feet. He has done everything I have asked of him and does not complain about how hard it is. I only wish I had more Sonnys in my life. What inspires me to train hard is remembering how just 18 months ago Sonny was struggling to run a 29 minute 5K and now he is going to run a marathon. Sonny teaches me every day that consistency is the key. Some of my other running buddies (Keith, Stu, Caleb, Kelly, Steven & Victor) have the potential to really do well at the marathon (New PRs -Personal Records) if they embrace the taper over the next 2 weeks. If they get nervous and try to get in some last minute fitness gains, their race will suffer. Experience is the best teacher.
As I look to the marathon, I am committed to doing my taper correctly. I have to believe the work is done and it is now time to let the body rest and heal up. I keep repeating to myself it is better to arrive to the race 90% trained than 1% over trained. I also have to remember I cannot affect my performance with 2 weeks to go, but I can hurt it by arriving to the starting line tired and mentally drained. Trying to do everything at the last moment never worked well for me in school or life and has not worked in running. Here is another life lesson for me to absorb.
Someone asked how I am doing on my New Year's resolutions. I am on track as of today with my daily tasks (doing at least 1 mile, pushups, lunges and squates). I will be volunteering my help at the Winter Flight 8K race next weekend. I also have reached out today to learn how I can help the local groups with trail construction. The fall 100 mile (Grindstone 100) race I want to run requires 8 hours of trail work so the sooner I get started the sooner I will reach my goals.
I read over the Fall one of the best things you can do to help your body get use to running a 100 miles in 24 hours is to stand at work. I currently sit at a desk all day. I am having my desk raised a foot so I can stand and do my office work. Instead of spending a ton of money to buy a special desk, I am going to raise my total workspace but putting wood blocks under the feet and spend around $20. I have to remember that throwing money at something does not mean it is the best way to accomplish the task. Here is another life lesson for me to absorb.
Check out my newest favorite ultra running blog http://duffyville.blogspot.com/. This little lady is awesome. She lives in Alaska and pulls a sled (this time of year) which holds her shopping purchases to help her train for 100 mile races. She will get in 20 miles or more a day a couple of days each week while doing her shopping and jogging back home. By the way, She has little ones too. I could not imagine have to tend to little ones, a husband and train for 100 mile races. After reading this blog, neither you nor I have any reason to complain about not having enough time to do the important things. Check out the my other favorite blogs to the right as they all have something to offer about life and fitness.
Keep in mind Groundhog Day is coming February 2nd. Lets all pray for a cloudy day so the big rat does not go back into hibernation and we have 8 more weeks of winter.
In the theme of "No Fear Year." I have signed up for the Black Mountain Monster 24 hour race in May.
http://www.raceofawesome.org/the-black-mountain-monster-5k-61224-hour-relay/the-monster/
This is a big stretch for me as the longest run I have ever done is only 9 hours so I look forward to training for it once I come back from Boston. Paul Sherman from Lewisville has already accomplished the 100 mile feat and assures me if I am willing to do the work, I will be fine. It still amazes me how we all have people in our life who have already gone through it or are willing to help if we will just reach out and listen. Here is another life lesson for me to absorb.
Thanks for taking time to read my thoughts & experiences and let me know how I can be of help in reaching your goals.

God, the Devil, and David Sedaris
Published April 22, 2007	david sedaris , humor 3 Comments
Last Friday night my friend, Leslie and I went out. We’d had tickets to see David Sedaris since last December, when Leslie had called me at work from her car phone after hearing on NPR about David’s upcoming April appearance in Kansas City. “We’ve got to go!” she insisted. “Can you get the tickets now?”
“Now?” I said. “Like in right now? On the internet?”
“Yes! Get them now!”
Leslie had recently lost her beloved mother in a tragic car accident in September and had been having a difficult time, especially during the recent Christmas holiday. The sudden loss, without the opportunity to say goodbye, had left Leslie with the kind of regrets most daughters have when their mothers are so suddenly taken – regrets about petty differences and unfinished business, unresolved feelings and the knowledge that you should have been a better daughter. In the receiving line at her mother’s visitation, Leslie hugged me tight, and with tears in her eyes whispered, “Appreciate your mother now, while you have her. Cherish her, don’t fight, be glad she’s here.”
I’ve tried a lot harder since then, believe me. Now, whenever I try to explain some kind simple computer procedure to my mom (which I already know she won’t understand), and I can feel the tension headache start to throb in my temples, I try not to snip at her. I really, really try. And whenever she calls me in the middle of my busy work day and just keeps going on and on and on, I really try to end the call as nicely as possible even though I just want to shout, “I know you’re just sitting at home in your little retiree world, drinking your tea without a care , but SOME OF US HAVE TO WORK, OK?” I try, I really do.
Leslie already knew how much I adore David Sedaris – it’s one of the many things we share – along with being smoking buddies who love to laugh, cut up, drink, and be outrageous – so I was more than happy to order the tickets right then. Plus, it was good to hear excitement in her voice again. I had last seen her a couple of weeks earlier at a Christmas party. After a few too many drinks, our conversation turned to her mother, and her anger towards the driver of the other vehicle who had caused the wreck. Our crying was inevitable of course – Two drunk women + seriously sad conversation = Two drunk women crying. So I was definitely glad that Les was excited about the show.
We went out for dinner, had a couple of drinks and some great conversation. We got to the theater early enough to get a drink at the bar, and just as we were getting settled for some pre-show people-watching, Les looked at me earnestly and said, “I’m gonna tell you something and I don’t want you to think I’m crazy, OK?”
“Well, you know how hard things have been with mom gone & all? I had this dream about her the other night that was really, really great. I dreamed that she came to see me and I was so happy. I said, ‘Mom, where have you been? I’m so sad and I miss you so much.’ And my mom said ‘Girl, I’ve been in heaven, and in heaven you get the choice of eating desserts or talking to your loved ones, and you know how much I love sweets! Plus you don’t have to worry about getting fat here so I just eat dessert all the time!’ So then I said ‘What about God? What’s God like?’ and she said ‘Oh, you won’t believe it, sweetie – God is two and a half feet tall! And let me tell you, he DOES NOT like to have that pointed out to him.’ Then I said ‘Well what about Hell? Is it really hot and everything?’ and she said ‘Well, I don’t know about hell, but the devil walks around here all the time, and you won’t believe this – he looks like John Belushi!'”
Then she said “Isn’t that a GREAT dream?” I finally managed to stop laughing long enough to agree that yes, it was absolutely a great dream. Les went on to say that after she woke up, she felt a lot better about things, which is understandable. I’m still trying to get a mental picture of a 2-foot tall God and a John Belushi impersonator as the devil, but the part about getting to eat dessert all the time is definitely making me rethink my atheism.
The rest of the evening was good: David Sedaris was hilariously funny, there were a lot of people for Les and & I to make fun of, and the weather was absolutely perfect. I’m glad she made that call way back in December to insist we buy tickets right then. But most of all I’m glad to see she’s healing from the terrible, terrible loss she’s suffered – through laughter, and through wonderful dreams of her mother.

Most people I know have dreamed of a dead person returning to them, but that dream is definitely cool. I’ll have to remember to ask for specifics of the afterlife next time it happens to me.
It had my return from the dead dream when I was only 15, and I have to agree I felt better afterwards. My dream took place in the same place I was sleeping, and in early morning. So it took me several minutes to realize it had been a dream. I was actually down eating breakfast (still a little groggy) when I fully separated sleep from waking.

My friend is Catholic and she absolutely believes her mother visited her in the dream. My own atheism prevents me from being so optimistic, however. Whichever the case (and I am an atheist only because I’ve yet to see/hear/experience proof of a God or Higher Power), dreams of the dead are so comforting, aren’t they?

Mine definitely was. I would love to hear one where the return visitor relayed secret information, like the location where the family jewels were buried in the back yard…that might be more convincing. But since it’s so universal it probably fills a common human need. I guess I need to ask about the afterlife AND the location of hidden jewels. Although at that point I probably wouldn’t want the disappointment of not getting the desired answer.
Number of people here to be entertained and enlightened
