Lukas: *smiles easily, shrugging off Kumi’s gratitude* “And in case you’re curious, I know exactly where Yuri is—in the kitchen gossiping with Mama...which is making me mightily uncomfortable. I think I liked it better when they weren’t so chummy. Seemed…safer.”
Kumi: “Nah, you like that they’re getting on so well. Admit it.”
Lukas: “Mmm.”
Kumi (thoughtfully): “Yuri’s been different since she and Brenda have grown closer. Actually, different isn’t the right word. She’s more like the Yuri I knew back before our mom died—carefree and less worried about every little thing. Don’t get me wrong, Ri-Ri’s always been finicky, but it got worse after Mom passed. She was wound so tight, you know? Like she’d fly apart if she relaxed for even a second…”
Lukas: *stays silent, listening avidly*
Kumi: “It’s like she thought by being able to control everything around her, she could bring Mom back…or maybe take her place so Daddy and I wouldn’t miss her so much. *sighs* I dunno. I’m crap at this emotional stuff. It’s more Simon’s department.”
Lukas (softly): “You’re not crap. It was both. Yuri told me as much once.”
Kumi (surprised): “She did? Does she talk about Mom to you a lot?”
Lukas: *nods* “More now than she used to.”
Kumi: “Good.”
--The pair falls into pensive silence, while muffled laughter and music seep in from down the hall—
Kumi: “Luke?”
Lukas: “Hmm?”
Kumi: “I’m glad Yuri found you.”
Lukas: *startled look* “Uh, thanks…”
KumI: *sits up straight, determinedly* “No, seriously, listen up, ‘cuz I’m never saying this again. Yuri deserves the best, so I didn’t think she’d ever find a guy good enough for her, but it looks like she did, and I’m glad… *belligerently* Okay?”
Lukas: *self-preservation kicks in, stops himself from smiling just in time* “Okay.”
Kumi: “This conversation never happened.”
Lukas: “Right.”
Kumi: “And you’re still a total moron. I don’t care what Oxford says…”
Lukas: “Absolutely.”
Kumi (slyly): “And you cheat at Scrabble.”
Lukas: *eyes narrow* “Now wait just a damn minute. I can’t help it if your vocab’s about as vast as a rain puddle in the Gobi—”

another case of "turn around"! while i was waiting on things to happen over the lake, Mono Lake, i turned around and saw this tufa and thought it looked kinda strange.
Two types of eyeglasses cases I made tonight. The top left is a knock off of a Ray Ban style one I had laying around. The bottom one is pure simple functionality. I think I like the bottom one better.
Al– Mas’abain Village, Aden Governate
Al Mas’bain village has a long history. It is believed that the village was established approximately 800 years ago. Mines were planted in 1994 (the last civil war). Before mines were planted its inhabitants lived a typical lifestyle. The community members were able to make use of their lands and travel from village to village in the area without any feelings of fear or insecurity.
After the area became mined, the villagers’ lives changed dramatically. Local people started to move around with caution and with fear. They became reluctance to travel even within the village boundaries.
The demining started in 2001 and 2002. After demining, local people started moving freely. The value of the land increased and many local community members were able to sell their lands for construction purposes for good prices. The revenues from the sales were used to improve the livelihood of the individuals in the community. Fortunately, there were no victims of mine explosions in the village. There were no accidents involving mines after the year 2000.
The feeling of security was one of the most important benefits from demining. The demined area was used as an asphalted ring road connecting the village with neighboring urban center of Dar Sa’ad in Sheikh Othman District. The major beneficiary is Mr Ali Dirhim, who bought a big area in the village after it was demined. Mr Ali Dirhim established a residential housing complex in the purchased land. The remaining demined land is the property of local people in the village.

Al Masharia, Al Dhale Governate
Before planting of mines, the village was an ordinary rural area. Agriculture is the major activity of the local people in the village. Crops grown in the village are sorghum, millet, maize, pulses and qat. The area is very ancient and its history goes back more than 500 years.
Mines were planted over a long period starting in 1972, and from 1974 till the mid eighties. The first mines were anti tank mines, later on the mines were anti individuals. After the planting of mines in the area, people’s lives changed completely. A feeling of insecurity was evident every-where. The fact that the area was a sensitive border area led to the intensive planting of mines. This complicated the situation even further.
Local people became scared for their property, families and for their own lives. The total number of victims was more than 38 from mines. The number of animals killed because of mines exceeded 4 cows and tens of sheep and goats. Several households migrated from the village because of the security situation. Others were forced to sell their animals because of the dangers of mines and the scarce rangelands remaining in the area after planting of mines.
Demining in the area started in 2002 till the end of 2004. Demining teams from “YEMAC’ were responsible for the whole process of demining. Local people appreciated the humanitarian role of “YEMAC” in clearing the area of mines and restoring peace in the village.
Estimated financial returns on demining in Al– Masharia
Details– return from herding
No. of households = 240
The village and the neighboring village herd daily with average return = 50 YR
Return of herding from two villages = 2 x 50 x 365 days x 240 = 8,760,000
There are three villages herding at a rate of 4 times per month. The number is 240 households.
Return from herding for three villages per year = 3 x 50 x 4x 12x 240 = 1,728,000
Net Income for five villages 10,368,000 Yemeni Riyal
Details- return from Qat cultivation
No. of households benefiting from qat cultivation= 120 households
Average annual return from qat cultivation = 300,000 YR.
Total return for all households = 36,000,000 YR
Total annual cost of production (irrigation + land preparation+ chemicals and fertilizers + without tax= 150,000 YR.
Total costs of households per year = 150,000 x 120 = 18,000,000 YR.
Net income for the 5 villages=18,000,000 YR
Details– Cereals cultivation
Households cultivating cereals= 80
Average annual return from land = 15 Kadah
Cost per kadah = 1800 YR.
Total cost of cereals per year = 80 x 15 x 1800 = 2,160,000
Net Income for the 5 villages= 1,440,000 YR

My violin case is looking somewhat the worse for wear these days, but then it is over 60 years old! Underneath the grime of time, the lining is pale blue!

Looking at the peghead end of the four custom cases. Redwood end blocks with 1/4" mahogany plywood faces, internal braces and yokes made from white pine - the cases are extremely lightweight and, from my own experience, very durable.
Over at Muse Card Club this week, the Muse is none other than Virginia Lu. I was inspired by her bright colours. So I pulled out a very old Hero Arts set ( thanks to Judy for reminding me of it) and some of the bright distress inks. Some masking, faux stitching and here is my card for the challenge.

"And then just before they [the students] went home at Christmastime, he [President Bryan] thought there should be another big party so that everybody would go home with sugarplums dancing in their heads.”

"In his very first year at William and Mary, Mr. Bryan decided that we’d have to develop some social activities for the students and for the faculty… For the students, his first production was the Christmas party. He decided that we should have a costume party in Phi Beta Kappa Hall.”

"Mr. Bryan and the official party, who sat on the stage, were dressed in authentic eighteenth century costumes. All the faculty who attended wore eighteenth century costumes. Those of us [who] were not able to buy them— and very few could buy them—rented them for about $8 or $10. Mr. Bryan had his own made, and he wore what was called a double-bottomed wig. It was really handsome; it was a beautiful costume. I don’t know what he paid for it, but it was certainly far more expensive than anybody on the faculty could afford.”
