I haven't felt like I've been entirely firing on all cylinders since I got back from Minneapolis, what between the remnants of jetlag, the lingering effects of the cold, etc, but these 10 days or have not been unproductive.
Completion of joint chapter (this involved grinding out a snappy concluding paragraph as well as agreeing final text, checking refs, etc) and sending it off to volume editors - check.
Wrestling with proofs (I thought we were supposed to be getting a reversion to the text before the Really Weird Shit happened to it somewhere along the line, but you couldn't prove that by me) and getting corrections off to volume editor - check.
Report on article for journal editors - check.
Report on article for editor of another journal - check.
Title, abstract and biographical summary to international conference organisers - check.
Misc admin stuff done, or at least moves made towards getting something happening.
CV updated.
Website updated.
Rather belated report on research done during fellowship last year - more or less ready to go, only needs covering letter.
I can now sit and twiddle my thumbs for a bit... maybe.
At work: usual Closed Week shelf-checking allocation completed. Significant contribution to this year's file-athon made - even though project turned out to be more than straightforward filing (collection is so less already catalogued than we were given to understand). Most of article on [certain kind of archives] for the [particular kind of researcher] for A Magazine completed, though had panic this pm when I re-read the specs and realised that what they had told me about the wordage only applied to part of what they wanted, so I have been doing some hasty recasting.

I've been really impressed, intrigued, and tempted by others offering their unique expertise and experiences, so here's mine.
I am a medical marijuana user and holder of an Authorization to Possess issued by the Government of Canada under the federal Medical Marihuana Access Regulations -- meaning it is legal for me to possess and use cannabis in Canada.
Of course I am not going to explicitly advocate anything illegal on LJ, but I'd also like to do my part to help counter misinformation and inaccuracy.

The afternoon did not start well, as I had forgotten to allow extra time for "afternoon before holiday weekend" traffic. That put me a few minutes late picking up Michael from work, and then a minimal rain shower in Round Rock backed up traffic as people tried to remember where their windshield wiper controls were (that's my guess). I watched rain hit the road and evaporate instantly...it had rained a tiny bit more farther one, but not enough to do plants any good. And none up here.
Then we hit another traffic jam closer in to Austin, and another one on a side road that I took to get away from the main one, plus every light was red. Dropped M- off at the ice rink, picked up some chicken for supper at DRW's and headed there (but a good thirty minutes later than usual.) It was hot (no surprise) and dry (no surprise) and fewer people came than usual (not really a surprise.) Except that I was planning to do a tech transfer with someone I'd borrowed a camera from, and we ended up luring her and her son into picking up swords. (It didn't take much to lure her son...and they both enjoyed it.)
Due to the heat and the few participants, there was perhaps more time spent panting in the shade than usual. I had a good bout with Jim and another with DRW, and then did a little drill with the newbies, who learn far faster than I ever did. Of course, they're not over fifty, as I was when I started...some things are more easily learned earlier. And now I'm older still. A faint shadow (a large, but faint shadow) of my former self, in the athletic department. However, compared to the first practice after recovering from the back-to-back bronchitis bouts, I definitely have picked up some endurance, and the legs are also doing better.
D-M-, who shows up only sometimes, questioned my need for the big new sword that I hope will be here next week...he's a very elegant rapier fencer and considers longswords "too brutal." I pointed out the research component of this. I have a reputation for sweet harmlessness to protect. (Remember what I said, you in the corner...with some people I have a reputation for sweet harmlessness and I want to keep it that way. )
By the time I got home, I'd stiffened up again--a sign of doing enough. This morning only a few things were complaining and that only moderately--a sign of not doing too much. The stupid knee had argued last night, but this morning had given up the fight.
However, I should spend time this weekend on the blades. Both could use a good sandpapering and the rapier may need a touch of the rattail file again.

Published in 1916 by The R.C. Barnum Company of Cleveland and by the Imperial Publishing Company of Toronto. It contains all three volumes: The People's Home Medical Book, by T.J. Ritter, M.D.; The People's Home Recipe Book, but Mrs. Alice G. Kirk; and The People's Home Stock Book, by W.C. Fair, V.S.
This is an amazing look into the needs, morals, and beliefs of North Americans a hundred years ago. I'm guessing it would be collectible if it were in better shape. IT IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE, but it seems to be complete and the wear is not from neglect but from excessive use and love. See backstory below. It would serve as an excellent reference for historical fiction of the era; in fact, I'm almost regretting parting with it as I write this. *g*
( Some sample sub-parts: )
Also, of course, useful for sporking. ;)

This is after he posted an icon of an actual asshole, which I first replied to via email. Here's your basic bot in his real element; all the pretenses are gone. He's got kids, supposedly, and he's raising them to be a self-deluded hypocrite like he is. Isn't that special? Isn't that just wonderful?
Just the sort of man who understands them wimmen, just like his hero. I guess all it takes it poking one till she's pregnant and then sticking around to accept pats on the back that the penis works. The stuff upstairs? That doesn't matter.

My horse is never getting a day off again.
Well. No. His days off are important, for his body and his mind, not to mention, y'know, mine. But man, it's easy to forget, when we're only going two or three days in a row, how good and happy he gets when I can string together five. Or six. Or more. Of varied work; I wouldn't try it in the winter, say, when we're stuck in the indoor. But a jump set on a conditioning day on an XC school on a dressage school on a hack on a dressage school--he's just about as cheerful as can be, and feels downright awesome. I should maybe make a point of doing this a little more regularly.
Perhaps needless to say, our jump lesson with L. today went smashingly. We seem to be settling, at least for now, on the stirrup length from the ICP workshop and also kept one of their tricks: setting the stirrup farther back on my foot, actually behind the ball. Which may inspire me to see about getting some safety irons (I dislike peacock stirrups, but I've had my eye on the kind with the all-metal curved outside bar) on the saddle if we end up sticking with it, but in a controlled schooling situation (and in, of course, heeled boots), it makes a useful antidote to my habit of getting my heel excessively far down and in the process, pushing my leg out in front of me (and taking the shock absorption out of my ankle, in the process).
Worked on the gallop position, first standing and then in motion, to which my main response was, "Ow." This is definitely going to require some dig-the-weirdness time. Or, as L. put it, "When it feels right, move your leg farther back." But I begin to understand, I think, the particular sort of weirdness that I'm meant to be digging, here, so that will help me find it on my own.
Then: we jump! Gymnastic line, just crossrails, trying to dig the weirdness (and the other folks in the lesson, of course, working on their own stuff) and in the process discovering that we have some work to do on that pesky rightward tendancy that I usually camoflague effectively when I'm not focused on something else but that, of course, shouldn't be there to need camoflaguing. (And doesn't, I think, show up as much in the turn/jump/turn/jump courses that T. normally sets as it does in a straightahead gymnastic.) One part not quite finishing my turn to the jump, one part not quite getting the horse channeled straight from seat and leg rather than trying to fix it with that little opening left rein over the fence. So! We shall be seeing more of this work, I think, over the next few lessons-with-L.
And then onto some little courses, not big fences--2'3" or 2'6"?--but making a point to include wider ones--oxers, the rolltop, etc.--to give me a little airtime over the fence to get the feel of my fold. And hey, it worked. Not perfect or automatic by any means in just the one session, but I was definitely starting to grok it as almost a two-step process: the close of the hip angle and then the slide back of the hips to keep the upper body balanced, comfy and secure, over the hell. Tucker seemed to enjoy it, too, which makes sense: done properly, it keeps me more out of his way and invites/allows him to stretch out over the fence. Not that he has to stretch much over this height, but the other way was going to get us into trouble down the line, and nice to start good habits early on...! He was just super, happy and attentive and keen, offering his good canter right up with little-to-no fuss. We disagreed on one distance--our first trip to the rolltop; he was right--but that was it all day; otherwise, he was taking the half-halt out of the corner and my eye was right on and he moved up or eased back or stayed just the same as requested, every time.
And y'know, I love my horse. I wouldn't trade him for anything else in the barn. But even so, there's something a little extra-special to those days when he's just an utter joy--an honor--to spend time around and on. This was one of those.
So he had many pats and a nice hand-graze after, moseying about the front of the property to find the very best grass, before heading back out into his paddock. We'll do some dressage tomorrow and he'll get a longe after the show on Sunday, and then Monday off. Onward.

| Personal note; ranting and raving... |

Here's how I have spent most of today and most of the two days that came before today [with occasional time-outs for the thunderstorms]...
There was, as part of the Huge Emergency-Rush Project, this enormous document to be revised. Hundreds of pages of it. I had it on my disk, with filenames that all started with the word "FINAL." I also had it in the form it had when it appeared in the world in print. And I had a long list of things that were supposed to be added to it and done to it, including translating it into a different register of the English language.
This wasn't especially appealing, as tasks go, but it struck me as doable. All I thought I had to do was take the text on the screen and revise it according to that list, translating as I went along.
And then I discovered that although all my filenames had started with "FINAL," the client hadn't agreed with me. Between the time I turned all those files in and the time they turned up on paper, the client had decided that my work wasn't final after all and had taken it upon itself to do a major rewrite. And it hadn't occurred to the client to let me know that this had happened.
Which meant that -- before I could even start the revising I was supposed to do -- I would first have to go through those cottonpicking files, all hundreds of pages of them, line by line and word by word, and make my version match the client's version.
The only work I've ever had to do that was remotely as tedious as this has been was the summer that I was hired to type the entire list of names and addresses, on little waxy cards, of all the cosmetologists in the entire state of Missouri, in alphabetical order. And I think this is probably worse, because I was fifteen then and I'm almost seventy-two now; I was stronger when I was fifteen.
It has taken me three days now, and I'm about a third of the way through; there are therefore six more days of this ahead of me.
My mind... At the risk of being melodramatic, I think my mind has just abandoned me and gone away someplace where there's lots of dark chocolate to eat and lots of hearty Guinness to drink and no typing to do. If I had any idea how to get to where my mind has gone, I'd join it. I do hope it comes back, but I wouldn't blame it if it didn't.
In the meantime, I have the most monumental case of intractable blogger's block...

I think I blogged this before -- but back in 2003 i had two options - I could move to New Orleans - or I could go on a roadtrip for the Best Pie in America. I decided to go to new orleans - but Pie Quest always remains in the back of my mind.
Pie Quest involves going to the 5 BEST PIE places mentioned on a food network show about pie:
Bottletree Bakery-Oxford, MS
The Good Food Store-Darien, CT
Killer Whale Cafe-Cordova, AK
Just Pies-Worthington, OH
Ponzio's-Cherry Hill, NJ
4 of them would be pretty easy - but that Alaska one -- it's not just Alaska, it's middle of nowhere Alaska...no, seriously. Mapquest 'Cordova, AK' you have to zoom out to like the 3rd max level before you get a sense of where you are...
ah well... some day!!

| In Vancouver BC? Want books? |
| Public |
http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/index.php/weblog/in-vancouver-bc-want-books/ Thanks to Natasha for the heads up:
One of the last awesome, crazy-funky bookstores in my city only to find out that it is going out of business. Sadly, that is a tired old tune, but in this case perhaps the bitchery can benefit. In a desperate bid to keep the store open, the owner, (a delightful rambler in the way that only old scottish guys can be) is trying to GIVE the store away. Seriously, if all you have is sweat equity, he’ll take it.
The place is floor-to-ceiling full, nearing fire hazard scale and contains an absolute jewel of a romance section. I couldn’t even look through the whole thing properly because most of the shelves were blocked by additional boxes of books. I saw scads of decades-old harlequins/mills boon/etc. The potential cover snark material was dizzying.
The bookstore is called, (appropriately) Booklovers in North Vancouver. He says he got so much inventory by being the bookstore equivalent to a bottle return depot.
According to Natasha, the bookstore itself is for sale, and interested parties can talk to the current owner, who should be there all weekend moving inventory. So if you’re in Vancouver (and if you are I am so jealous) stop by and get yerself some books, matey.

http://shoeblogs.com/2008/07/04/never-teh-bride-in-the-new-york-post/ http://shoeblogs.com/?p=4288 Manolo says, the Manolosphere’s own treasured wedding-expert diva, the Never teh Bride (a.k.a. Christa Terry) has been interviewed for the article in the New York Post!
“Given the state of the economy, people are seeing that it’s smarter to use money they would’ve spent on their wedding on more useful, permanent things like buying a house or a new car,” says Christa Terry, author of “iDo: Planning Your Wedding with Nothing but ‘Net.”
Terry says New Yorkers - who spend an average of $46,000 on their nuptials - are getting in on the trend.
[…]
There are plenty of other cost-cutting measures to explore, says Terry. “There are so many great ways to save money that people don’t know about, starting with when and where you choose to have it,” she says.
Terry suggests checking out cheaper reception options like state parks and museums, since many of them charge significantly less than wedding halls and restaurants.
Other ideas include opting for buffet-style meals instead of full-service and choosing simpler favors, like chocolates.
But the best way to trim expenses, says Terry, is to use the Internet.
“It allows you to shop around and compare prices, so you can buy items like flowers and favors in bulk at the best prices,” she says. “Additionally, there’s such a wider variety of products to choose from, which [can] make your wedding more original than those who go the traditional route.”
Naturally, the Manolo is exceedingly proud of his wonderfully talented blogging friend.

Martin Cohen, of Company 7, which is a thoroughly outstanding telescope shop, has recently acquired a bunch of interesting stuff. (He probably talks about the on his own site, so I am not going to go into detail here.) Among the various bits was a badly beaten-up Celestron “Star Hopper”, a Newtonian telescope on a Dobsonian mount. I think the objective mirror is 10" (a little over 25 cm) in diameter, which is reasonably substantial for an informal “let’s haul it out and look at the sky for a while” type of device.
Marty was kind enough to leave this scope with us and tell us we were welcome to try to clean it up and get it working, so I did that. It was full of cobwebs and filth, and I had to clean both of the mirrors (frightening, but fortunately he has a tutorial page on his site, which helped a lot). Whoever installed the eyepiece holder was inept, and damaged the tube. (Notice the bent screws, which will make it rather difficult to remove the holder and repair the rip. Argh.) —
 The poor thing was also totally wanked out of alignment, so I aligned it. (I found that process very interesting, but I have put my description of it on one of my Joss Research pages, as it is a bit too much wretched neep-neep to deal with here.) Omce I thought I had everything in reasonable shape I took the scope outside, aimed it at Jupiter, and hand-held the lab’s Canon G3 camera up to the eyepiece, with the focus manually set to infinity. The exposures were on the order of 0.3 second, which means that a little bit of the blur is from the planet moving across the field; another part of the blur is me shaking the telescope by pushing the camera into it. I took a bunch of exposures, and selected the ones with the least blur:   I am a little bit concerned about the chromatic aberration (notice that the fuzz at the bottom of the planet is blue and the fuzz at the top is red), but that could be an issue of whether the camera was centered on the eyepiece — I don’t offhand recall seeing any spurious color when I was just looking through the scope. All things considered, I think this is pretty cool. Cheers — jon
