Our heat, hot water and oven have been out since yesterday. It is, shall we say, fucking COLD, in our large, drafty loft apartment.
Today, I am rocking my Grape Suit, mitts by the lovely Gwen, a shawl by the fabulous Ann, shearling slippers, SmartWool socks, two blankets and a giant pot of tea.
And since there's no hot water, no need to shower! There are perks to being unemployed.
Today, I plan to spend most of the day knitting, then meeting up with a buddy at a coffee shop for some job applications. Good day.

Ok, the tournament is not the same for me this year. The demise of the Big East - the one that I knew and loved for over 25 years - has broken my basketball heart. No disrespect to the current Big East teams, but the Beast of the East and I arrived in Syracuse about the same time, and we kinda grew into adulthood together, raised our kids together, and many of us are retiring together. Still, I'm kind of surprised by my reaction to their absence. I thought I'd still care about the teams, but it really just isn't the same now that they've scattered to the conference winds. And, yes, I know, it's pretty ridiculous to mourn a sports league given the number of truly serious situations around the world these days. I'm not even a diehard sports fan, just kind of an ordinary one, but I feel their loss. And no, I cannot really support Syracuse as an ACC team.
But - and there is almost always a but with me - there is a positive side. In the past, my March loyalties have always been divided - much to the chagrin of daughters and colleagues (Big East) and siblings, cousins, and dad (Big Ten). This year, all my eggs are in the Michigan State basket,* As my alma mater, I've always supported them, but there was also a strong counter pull from my workplace of twenty years. Until now, when I am posting this 4-leaf clover for Sparty. Good Luck and play well, guys!
*Full disclosure: This is for the men's tournament. You can't live in Connecticut for a decade and not become a UConn Women's fan. Yeah, I know, the rest of you hate them - kinda like I hate the baseball Yankees - if you even know what women's basketball is. But that's a blurb for another posting.

Kerið (occasionally Anglicized as Kerith or Kerid) is a volcanic crater lake located in the GrÃmsnes area in south Iceland, on the popular tourist route known as the Golden Circle. It is one of several crater lakes in the area, known as Iceland's Western Volcanic Zone, which includes the Reykjanes peninsula and the Langjökull Glacier, created as the land moved over a localized hotspot, but it is the one that has the most visually recognizable caldera still intact. The caldera, like the other volcanic rock in the area, is composed of a red (rather than black) volcanic rock. The caldera itself is approximately 55 m (180 ft) deep, 170 m (560 ft) wide, and 270 m (890 ft) across. Kerið’s caldera is one of the three most recognizable volcanic craters because at approximately 3,000 years old, it is only half the age of most of the surrounding volcanic features. The other two are Seyðishólar and Kerhóll. More at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keri%C3%B0
Digital reproduction of the paper negative from The Giant Mobile Camera exposed on Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day, April 27, 2014, inverted version.
I think I've reached the pinnacle of success with this pinhole shot onto Harman Direct Positive RC Lustre paper in a cylinder camera. 10x8, rated 3iso, metered for highlights, f200, 60secs, no preflash, developed in 600ml of Fotospeed PD5 paper developer at 1:40 dilution and 20degC for 6minutes. The dilute developer gives a nice warm tone.
Wing strength in rows of ascending arches (as compared to a flat surface); a positive camber arches upward, typically desirable (as compared to negative camber) [camber: to curve or bend slightly, adding extra structural support to a wide span or space and in long spans has the purpose of counteracting deflection due to load]

The history of women’s involvement in sports is cyclic in nature. 3500 hundred years ago on the Island of Crete women were very active, they drove chariots, hunted wild game, and took part in the bull fighting festivities. (2) They had their womanly duties of cooking, cleaning and tending to the children but these tasks never defined what they could or could not do. This is more of the attitude of women today, it hasn’t always been like this, in the early 14th century women of nobility could be seen playing tennis, jousting and ice-skating in the winter. Not long after this a very strong wave of religious influence changed this modern woman. Restrictions in physical activity resulted from the codes of behavior designed for Protestant Sects in which activities, not pertaining to salvation were seen as sinful. (2)
Between 1400 and 1860 the frail fragile female representing true womanhood was reinforced and physical activity was almost non-existent. (2) The roaring 20’s started to change the ideas of true womanhood. Woman started participating in organized sports again for leisure. The clothing industries and marketing companies jumped on this new trend and promoted that woman become involved in activities outside of the household. One piece swimsuits were introduced during this time period, (3) that were specifically designed for woman.
In 1926 Gertrude Ederle was the first woman to swim the English Chanel, not only did she swim it but she beat the men’s record by two hours. (1)(3)
These feats empowered woman in the United States and we have continued to see female athletes achieve remarkable goals that were thought to be unattainable. Like in the 1920’s clothing and marketing ads have kept up with the changing times and promoted female athletes to embrace their bodies as the way it is. The model body is outdated and the new look is for females to have a muscular tone to them. The Nike (4) ad in the picture encourages women to be strong in body and mind and not give into the social pressure to be like everyone else. That the body you are in is the key to your success in whatever venture you take on.
