Two highly-esteemed residents of Onehunga, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Skinner, of Arthur-street, celebrate their golden wedding to-day. Mr. Skinner, who reached his 80th year on September 9 last, arrived at the Bay of Islands in the brig Louisa, in 1845 and served in the Maori war with his regiment, the 58th. His wife arrived in the Ramillies, in 1847, with her father, Sergeant William Filmer, of the Marine Artillery, who was in charge of the military dispensary for a time at Onehunga. On October 11, 1854, Mr. and Mrs. Skinner were married at St. Peter's Church of England, Onehunga, by the Rev. A. G. Purchas, and have resided in that town ever since. The house they live in is one of the oldest houses in Onehunga. They have nine children, five sons and four daughters, and 20 grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner were both born at Ashford, Kent, England, the former being the youngest of his family, all of whom exceed his great age of 80 years. Mr. Skinner is also the holder of the Imperial war medal for the Bay of Islands war (Hone Heke's). The hale and happy old couple have been the recipients of many congratulations during the past few days.[7]

Richard Skinner, who sank quietly to rest at Onehunga last week in his 85th year, was not a man who courted limelight, but as one who fought the battles of the Empire in his youth he is entitled to a tributary tear. Mr Skinner came to New Zealand with the 58th Regiment in 1845, and took part in the Heke War in the Par North. After that he settled at Onehunga, where he has lived quietly for more than fifty years, and brought up a large family, one of whom, S. R. Skinner, is a member of the present borough council. If a muster of the old 58th were called today, it would be only a touchingly pathetic remnant that could answer the roll.[8]
SUDDEN DEATH AT ONEHUNGA
Mr. Richard Skinner died very suddenly last night at Onehunga. Mr. Skinner, who was 85 years of age, had been working in his garden for a little while in the afternoon, and at six o'clock in the evening went to lie down, feeling tired, and not having any appetite for his tea. At this time Mrs. Skinner went to her son's house, near by and when she returned her husband was dead. Dr. Scott was immediately sent for, but his services were without avail. The deceased was an old "58th" man. He came to New Zealand in 1845, and with his regiment was engaged in the fight with Hone Heke, in the Bay of Islands. He settled in Onehunga over fifty years ago, and has resided there ever since. Mr. Skinner was of a retiring disposition, and was universally respected as one of the "Fathers" of Onehunga. He leaves a widow, five sons (one of whom is a member of the Onehunga Borough Council), and four daughters.

The chaff blows away in the breeze; the grains fall back in the basket. It's skilled work, and physically demanding.
The family spends hours a day pounding millet to make sazda, their staple porridge. I didn’t understand why they would literally be using stone-age technology to prepare their millet -- surely a mechanical mill would be far easier, & couldn’t possibly be that expensive. After all, people have had millstones for millenia. I asked the guide, but didn’t really get a very satisfying explanation. A little digging turned up a paper that answered exactly that question: www.researchgate.net/publication/310626891. The research was done at a village elsewhere in Zimbabwe; there were a few cultural differences (notably, there only women and children pound millet, whereas here the men can take a turn), but the overall setup seems very similar. TL;DR:
1.There is a miller, & some people do use his services — especially those who are too old or infirm to pound the millet themselves. People are also more likely to take advantage in years when there is a bumper crop and they’re not worried about waste. A mill can dehull in 5 or 10 minutes what takes 2 to 5 hours by hand-pounding and winnowing. But these are spread-out rural villages; a woman may have to walk a couple of kilometers to the miller, or travel by bus up to 10 km, carrying a bucket of grain big enough to feed her family for a couple of weeks. Then, since she has all she can carry with the one bucket of meal, she can’t carry back the separate bucket of bran that they normally feed to the chickens, so that goes to waste from the family’s point of view.
2.There is, ideally, a processing step in between dehulling the grain and grinding it, in which the grain is either soaked or baked, and so the woman would actually have to travel to the miller twice for each batch. Either that or skip the processing step, which results in the meal being bitter.
3.The mechanical mill removes more material, resulting in wastage: skilled hand pounding and winnowing removes about 1/5 of the volume as bran, whereas the mill removes about 2/5. Milling sacrifices not only calories from lost endosperm, but also nutrition from lost germ and fiber.
4.It costs on the order of $0.50 for 2 weeks’ worth of dehulling plus grinding. Millers routinely have to impound meal from families who can’t pay, or release it on credit and risk having to write it off.

This volume is primarily remarkable for its excellently preserved early (but not original) binding, as well as the peculiar style of its miniatures. The manuscript opens with an unusual, icon-like prefatory image of the Virgin and Child, possibly added at an early stage for use in private devotion, and is followed by Evangelist portraits facing ornate headpieces. These illuminations are important examples of non-Constantinopolitan Byzantine art.

I have a rather frustrating problem with my sound. When I turn the volume up, the slider falls back down to zero, all by itself.
I've replaced drivers to no avail. I've uninstalled so much software that my computer feels naked. The problem persists.
This is extremely frustrating.
You've got to love those moire patterns though...
[Update: I'd like to extend a special welcome to those who landed up here after doing a search on the word "naked" - I hope the disappointment wasn't too great...]

Aaaaand not so pure & untouched, lol...
But yeah, since I got Vol II last year... aside from a few of my matte shadows I've barely used my old eyeshadows (*wince* sorry MAC). So now, all I need are a few Make Up For Ever matte shadows, a few Illamasquas... and then I'll be INVINCIBLE! *evil laugh & lightning strikes in the background*
Ah who am I kidding.... it'll never be enough. I'm pathetically addicted... -_-

張景堯建築師作品選集 Volume 1「築跡」十年工作精選.
.
「築跡」為張景堯建築師回台執業建築從2001到2010十年來的作品選集，期待藉由作品的發表，能將事務所的工作內容和對建築、環境設計有興趣或志向的人分享。有感於國內建築師大多忙於業務，不只無暇整理自己的作品，也疏於彼此的相互交流，無法讓設計的能量滋長，因而決定投入事務所人力，編輯第一本作品集，希望藉由出版的公共平台，讓大家有機會接近我們的工作，並進一步產生更多的對話與交流。.
.
本書共有五個章節，從小型的私人住宅到大區域的都市設計共選入約二十幾個作品，以住宅設計為作品的主軸，探討住宅中人與自然的關係所可能衍生的空間原型。非住宅的作品從學校到商業空間都有觸及。在空間與型式上，每個作品的需求與內容各不相同，但其背後的理念是一致的，那就是不斷地追求人與自然在空間上的意涵，簡單而不單調，豐富而不複雜。.
.
本書以中英雙語出版，但不是中文搭配英譯，而是對內容因著語文性質做適切的表述。內容力求簡捷明晰，除了台灣的讀者外，也盼能與國際友人分享我們的工作成果。.
.
本書共352頁，精裝B5開本，書名「築跡」，期待在建築的這條道路上能留下些許成果，而以volume 1 第一卷來呈現，更是自勉將來能有第二、第三卷的出版，每一卷的內容能更充實與精進。
This is my attempt at the low volume blocks I've been seeing around flickr... Not sure I've got the hang of it yet. I do think these will make a gorgeous quilt!!! Maybe I'll throw in a simple pink strip here and there...
