I can at last reveal the name of my client, Ms Zee-Zee Giraffe.
She approached me asking if I could possibly design a 'zebra suit' (as she called it) since she hadn't found anyone else to design such a garment. The zebra suit, she stressed, was very important to her because she had long wished to "run with the zebra", (her words.) As she ages she feels time is running out (no pun intended) for her to do this.
We had many discussions and fittings. It resulted in a mini dressed. She wanted an attached, fabulous and wild mane to blow in the wind. She also wanted accessories featuring red beads to remind her of her favorite red beans from the Lucky Bean Tree. I was never able to persuade her to let me design underwear. It seemed it was never a decency or decorum issue for her. She explained it would hinder her running and it would make it impossible to stretch, bend or splay her front legs at the water hole.
Let the wind blow high
Let the wind blow low
Zee-Zee where's yer ... (sorry and apologies!)
A word to the safari-minded: keep your eyes open for Ms Zee-Zee this summer as she 'runs with the zebra.'
Designer's notes: so I'm a designer now am I !? Well this is the first thing I've ever designed totally from scratch, without a pattern. If someone asks me if I've ever designed anything I suppose I'll have to say, "Yes, a mini zebra dress for a giraffe."
Seriously, thank you for the wonderful way you nudged us to think creatively because otherwise there's no way I would have thought of doing this.
Technical details: The back of the dress consisted of a mitered square chosen for its ability to drape over the mid and rear of the body. It was not a perfect square because it was knitted until about 16 stitches remained. Also, short rows were worked into the stripes to make them uneven. Extra K2 togs were done to continue the shaping. The 16 stitches were turned into K2, P2 rib at the neck edge to make a sort of stand up collar. A few extra stitches were added on to make the collar wider. Stitches were bound off at the left and right edges except for 6 stitches at the center back. These were knitted into a long strip of st st, long enough to reach the head. The strip curled naturally and so black and white fringe pieces could be threaded into the curled piece to make the mane. The ends could be tied together and concealed. Stitches were picked up on the left and right front sides of the mitered square. They were knitted across in uneven black and white stripes using short rows. They were joined at the front using a three needle bind off. The top of the dress has a narrow black edging made by picking up and knitting and binding off all at the same time. Purposely there was no edging to the lower front edge. Narrow i-cords with red beads knitted into them became the chokers that also held the mane to the neck. I-cords on the legs are decorative ... Zee-Zee's vanity.
Materials: Knit Picks Palette yarn and size 3 needles.
The story developed as I worked and it influenced the design. The wooden carved giraffe (from Zimbabwe) stands 15 inches high. It became a perfect model that I used to fit and drape the knitting as I worked.

It doesn't really get more uninspired and clichéd than this. Don't get me wrong, the girls are most certainly nice-looking, but c'mon ... those plastic guns with the red thingies on them. Sigh. At least have the decency to outfit them with some better gear ...

GEORGE NELSON MOSES
Life Story of One of the Bravest Men Who Ever Tramped Across the
Santa Fe Trail; an Early Barton County Pioneer
GEO. N. MOSES was the tenth of a family of 14 children, seven boys and seven girls. The oldest member of the family died when but a few years of age. George was the youngest of the four brothers who went to the defense of their country when the civil war broke out. The two youngest brothers, Charles of Chicago and E. R. of this city were too young though Charlie, the oldest of the two ran off twice to join the army but was returned home each time. George Moses was born in Olean, New York State April 15. 1844. He died in Great Bend, September 10, 1911. When he was eleven years of age the family moved to Illinois and later moved aga!n to the frontier state of Missouri, locating in Sedalia. The father was a mason and the older boys followed this trade in their younger days. George was just attaining manhood when the civil war broke out and he joined Company I, 15th Illinois Infantry though his older brothers tried to prevent this because of his youth and later with his brother, R. H, re-enlisted, both joining Company C, 146th Illinois infantry.
After the war he saw service in the border war in Missouri, against the bushwhackers. As member of what was known as the Jim Turley gang under command of Capt. Montgomery, hardly a day passed but what they had exciting adventures. This company was composed of about thirty men all expert horsemen and dead shots and their duties consisted principally of chasing down the guerillas of the rebel army who were raiding all parts of Missouri where northern sympathizers lived.
When the war was over he was still a young man, just entering manhood. A man with a reputation of being able to take care of himself under any circumstances and a man whose word could be depended upon. He was of a roving disposition at that time and Missouri was becoming too well settled. He wanted to get out into the world as his brothers had done before the war. Striking out for himself he came to Kansas, hunted buffalo all over this section of the state, wandering over the mountains through Colorado and down into New Mexico. Then he returned to Colorado and met John Tilton of this city in the Gunnison country, stayed there awhile and they returned to Kansas and were working near Salina when a man came out from Salina to get G. N. to guide them to a fit place in this part of the country for the location of a townslte, it being known that he had hunted all over this section and down through the Medicine Lodge and Texas cattle country. A company of Quincy, Ill., citizens had determined to locate a town on the Santa Fe railroad which was building through Kansas and wanted to beat the railroad company to it. G. N. guided them to this section and they located the town as it stands. Fort Zarah at that time had two or three stores and a general colony and the railroad company resenting the efforts of outsiders to start a town instead of their obtaining the townsite attempted to break Great Bend but Great Bend outlasted them all.
He was the first sheriff of the county and did much to kep this a lawabiding community. The "gun men" of the West knew him and that there would be little chance of their intimidating him. For the average "gun man" is not a man who is a killer because he is quicker than others on the draw but because he is trlckier and because he intimidates officers of the law. G. N. had been in the camps of the pioneers all over the West. He had met the bad men of Dodge City, of Sargent and of the mining camps of Colorado and always he had been on the side of decency and right. He was never known to be afraid and the bad men were afraid of him because they knew he was not afraid of them.
None of the Moses boys have ever been apologetic or timid. They have been true to their convictions but they have done what they believed to be right regardless of the opinion of others.
An instance of G. N.'s boyhood will show considerably the trend of his character. As a boy of 7 or 8 he was out getting nuts with a couple of his sisters when a woman who was a terror of the neighborhood when it came to demanding what she called her rights came upon them and attempted to frighten the children and did succeed in scaring the little girls pretty badly. G. N.'s anger blazed forth and he dared the woman to come any nearer to attempt to take the sack of nuts which she claimed. He drove her back and took the booty home for booty it was. And throughout his life the dominant trait has been to help others and to take the side of the oppressed. Hundreds of stories might be written about this side of the man't nature.
He was a born leader and though not seeking leadership was naturally selected for this in most enterprises in which he engaged. If he believed a cause was worthy he followed it strong in the assurance of its success sometimes to his financial disadvantage. Naturally he made opponents as all strong men do but never did opponent question his integrity or honesty.
With his marriage in 1873 to Miss Ida Mitchell, step-daughter of Squire Odell, one of the locaters of the town and member of the town company and went into business in Great Bend in the firm of Burton, Odell & Moses. When the Gunnison country in Colorado was opened up Burton withdrew from the firm and went to Gunnison where he opened a store in which G. N. was also interested. A few years later E. R. Moses, then only a young man came here and went to clerking in the Great Bend store and in a short time Mr. Odell retired, the firm becoming G. N. & E. R. Moses, which it remained until about ten years ago when G. N retired, E. R. buying his interest and naming the firm the E. R. Moses Mercantile Co., which it remains to this day. The firm saw many a bad year in the early days when settlers were few and crops were bad but it went ahead and carried many a man who is rich today but who would have been unable to have farmed at all but for this firm.
He served as mayor of the city three different times, in the 80's, and two terms in the nineties. During the Populists days he was the Republican nominee at one time for the legislature, but was defeated. He served as sheriff of the county several terms, principally in the early days and was the first sheriff of the county.
During the time the cattle trade was coming from Texas to Great Bend and before it shifted to Dodge City a Texas gun fighter became abusive and chased most of the citizens off the street while he ran the town. The marshal and assitant considered discretion the better part of valor and hid out to find G. N. while the gun fighter amused himself while sitting on his pony by shooting at the occasional citizen who showed in sight. G. N. was informed of the circumstance and telling the marshal to stay where he could come into the fight in case he was shot walked down the street and up to the Old Rome where the tough man was viewing the country. The man started swinging his gun hand towards G. N. when the latter spoke to him pleasantly enough and he stopped to see what was coming next. G. N. wasn't trying to pull a gun and still kept coming. It puzzled him. As the sheriff got near enough he reached up his hand as thought to shake hands and the next minute the gun man was off his pony and G. N.'s grip on his shoulder made him forget all his belligerency. G. N. turned him over to the marshal after a lecture on the matter of getting drunk and making a fool of himself and the gun man when turned loose made a bee line back to Texas where they didn't have sheriffs who were foolish enough to go around without drawing a gun on sight.
The town of Sargent, now Coolidge, was for a few months the toughest place in the west. It was when the Santa Fe construction camp was located there and the gamblers, painted women and thugs were robbing the several hundred railroad laborers. One of the gamblers had some months before borrowed two hundred dollars from G. N. who pitied his condition and thought him a man of his word. G. N. while prospecting in the west heard of the town of Sargent and stopped there finding his man running a saloon. He broached the subject of being paid and the man who had joined the gang of ruffians running the town repudiated the debt and said he didn't intend to pay it. It made G. N. mad and he kicked him out of the place and took charge of the saloon himself. We believe that Jim Gainsford was with him at the time. The saloon man went out and gathered his gang and went back to fix G. N. The latter was ready and had Gainsford stationed behind the door. When the gang filed in G. N. trained two guns on them and invited them to get out and stay out. Gainsford was also there and they got. He ran the saloon for two days, took in $68 and then turned it back to the owner and said that he had collected the interest due at least. While in Sargeant he heard the story of an old man who had been robbed of his team by the gamblers. G. N.'s sympathy was aroused for the old man and going with the latter to the camp corral had the old man point out the team. They hitched it up and the old man started to drive out of the town. One of the gang saw the man on the front seat of the wagon and notified others of the gang and they started to take the team away from the old fellow. As they got up to the rig they found G. N. sitting on the back end of the wagon load, his needle gun across his knees and after expostulating a little gave up the claim to ownership of the rig and the old man drove out of town. G. N. accompanied him a little ways and then came back. They didn't care to tackle him. D. N. Heizer, then a surveyor for the Santa Fe related this story.
E. R. Moses tells a story of the time he went to Gunnison to visit his brother George. The town was really two towns divided by a vacant area and in this section there was a large lumber yard. G. N. lived across on the other side from the store. The first night of E. R.'s visit he waited until late at night to accompany G. N. home. The latter was counting up the money and placing it in a sack in his pocket when E. R. noticed a man peering in the window. He spoke to G. N. about the matter but he said he guessed it didn't amount to much. They started home and as they got to the lumber yard G. N. started on through his accustomed way instead of going around. He had given E. R. a gun to carry from the store and as they got in the lumber yard they noticed the two men standing back in the shadows. G. N. walked straight towards them with his gun ready for action and E. R. following with some trepidation. The man backed to one side and they passed on and were not molested. But that was enough of the wild Gunnison Country for E. R. and he returned home in a day or two.
Early day sheriffs had their own conceptions of the forms of law and one of the returns made by G. N. as first sheriff of the county is held as a treasure by a prominent state official into whose possession it passed some years ago. A horse theif came to Barton county and committed some depredations which resulted in a warrant being sworn out for his arrest. G. N. took the warrant and started north after the thief. Seventy-two hours later he returned to Great Bend late at night, without any rest from the time he had started, making the whole trip in the saddle. Getting in late at night, tired and worn out from the trip and nearly dead for want of sleep he went into the justice of the peace office and left the warrant writing across the same, "Received this warrant blank date and served same by shooting the ........." The facts of the story were that G. N. went to Hays City where he induced a comrade of the man wanted to confess that the man was in that part of the country and then taking his deputy rode out to cow camp where he found the man. As they rode over the hill and down towards the wagons the man they were after jumped up and grabbing a gun commenced shooting at them. A minute later he died suddenly and the trip home was begun. The cowboys heard the firing and started to investigate and threatened to kill the sheriff and his deputy. Thoroughly aroused now the sheriff sent the deputy back a little way, rode up to the cowboys and invited them to start the proceedings at once if they felt it necessary. They decided that monkeying with the law would be unpopular and the sheriff and deputy rode home.
From the trend of these stories it might appear that G. N. was of a tough order but his history is different. Men were men in those days and had hard work to perform but the testimony of his old comrades has always been that G. N. stood for the moral things and was himself a moral man.
The first time Ed Tyler, W. W. Hartshorn, Louis and Jerry Frey ever met G. N. Moses was on October 16th, 1871. They drove from Quincy, Ill, to this point. G. N. Moses, Hy and Jim Bickerdyke and John Tilton were camped on the ground where the Fair Building now stands. They had hauled a load of lumber from Russell on the U. P. railroad and built a shack by putting up some posts and built the shack like a tight board fence there being a room about the size square of the length of the board and had been added to until there were several rooms about, four. The Moses party were glad to meet them and allowed them the use of half the shack until they could do better. At that time there was no railroad and little money. There were plenty of buffalo and other game for meat, but there was little else to eat. The Hubbard store on the Walnut was the only one for miles, the next nearest being on the U. P. north, 45 miles, and nothing south or west. When the Quincy crowd arrived here G. N. Moses wore an army hat, shirt and coat and buckskin pants and the others were clad something like G. N.
Up to that time there had been no buffalos killed about here for the hides only, as it would not pay to haul them to the U. P. for the price offered and there were very few horses to do the hauling. Later a good many cattle were used. However, buffalo hides were used for partitions in the shack and many other places for which they had no lumber. One day in the fall of 1871 G. N. Moses and Ed Tyler were sitting in a window of the old Southern hotel, situated where the Brinkman Bank is now situated. The hotel had not been finished at that time and even the frames in. They were looking down the trail toward Fort Zarah and they noticed something coming west. It was decided that it was not a man, a buffalo or a horse, but finally it developed that it was a man carrying an umbrella and when he arrived they found that it was Judge Tom Morton of Illinois. He was dressed in broadcloth, white shirt, collar and cuffs, blackened boots, in fact was in regular town style. He had come to Fort Zarah with a bunch of soldiers from the east. He stopped here with the camp and in a few days he had bought Ed Tyler's team, also another team for one of the Quincy party and suggested to G. N. Moses that they go out on a regular buffalo hunt. They left this point in December, 1871 and went to the southwest where the buffalo were plentiful and they got as far as the Medicine Lodge country before returning. From that time they made buffalo hunting a regular business and hundreds of hides were ready to ship from here when the Santa Fe railroad arrived. The first hunting party was composed of G. N. Moses, John Tilton, Hy Bickerdyke and Judge Morton. Messrs. Moses and Tilton continued it for a few days. Bickerdyke went west after a year or two and Judge Morton was a resident of Great Bend until the late seventies.
Moses and Tilton in those days had traveled over many miles of the west and before coming here they had first met in Colorado and traveled a foot over most of the country that has developed so well. From Colorado they came to about where Salina is and from there here. From the time they met in Colorado they have been bosom friends at all times. Prior to the time of the meeting of Moses and Tilton in Colorado Mr. Moses had gone from Sedalla, Mo., where he had been a peace officer after the war part of the time and was also a deputy United States marshal to Arizona and New Mexico where he spent some years looking over that country.

How could anyone with a shred of decency left in them not like being on a march in which someone had bothered to think up and then create and carry around this personal message to the Chancellor George Osborne, who, like a reverse Robin Hood, steals from the poor to give to the rich.

1975. Bell-bottoms, disco, seaweed wallpaper in shades of brown, hair, a lot of hair, afros on every- body and voluptuous sideburns, roller-skates, Led Zeppelin. Coffee and oil is very expensive. The first disposable razor. Ali beats Frazier in the “Thrilla in Manilla”, The King is alive and kicking in Vegas and the king of Sweden is yet to be married.
Despite an oil crisis and prolonged recession, 1975 was a carefree time with larger solutions to smaller problems. A dualistic era where the colourful visions from the 60’s still lived but popular culture interpreted those visions in darker Kodachromatic tones. It was decency and decadence. It was the birth of the peace- and environmentalist movements, amidst a full-blown cold war. Also, in 1975 a new paper is born – G-Print.
Since then, for 35 years, G-Print’s been loved for its overall quality and consistency by merchants and printers alike. And most importantly there’s been no significant changes in paper properties over all those years. This equals 35 years of perfection for a paper and a paper production process that is, “Impossible to copy”.

After a long trip back to Bandon for a Celebration of Life service for my Aunt and Uncle, I returned in time to capture a pretty sweet sunset. It was good seeing my family and cousins as well as others who knew my Aunt and Uncle. We shared a lot of good memories as we stuffed ourselves on some really good BBQ. This trip wasn't for photography but rather just for family instead.
I hope everybody had a great weekend?

This ad hoc acoustic supergroup started around a table at a small pub in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where Ry Cavanaugh, Billy Conway, Sean Staples, Dinty Child, Jim Fitting and other friends gathered to swap songs and stories. Their lively performances and inspired versions of tunes from the dusty backroads of America's past were such a hit with fans that they decided to take their musical conversation into the studio. The two-CD debut Tabletop People ups the ante with stellar appearances by folksinger Rose Polenzani, Twinemen's Laurie Sargent, Dennis Brennan, Asa Brebner, Merrie Amsterburg, Dan Kellar, Presidents of the United States' Chris Ballew, Jabe Beyer, Tim Gearon and other luminaries. And the 18 gritty, funny, soulful performances included span a gamut of emotions and tastes that should please both adult and younger listeners.

Session Americana sit tightly around a small cafe table, ambient mics tuned to catch the whole sound of the voices and instruments. A suit-case drum kit, an old electric bass, a bunch of acoustic instruments, a field organ: This format feels very theatrical and though the musicians face each other, the audience feels drawn into the circle by the warmth, joy and camaraderie that emanate outwards by the all star cast of characters seated around the table. What keeps you coming back show after show is the same thing that any audience member longs for, great songs performed by a great band. The six core members of the band have brought enviable careers worth of experience to the “table”, featuring (current and former) members of Treat Her Right, Patty Griffin, Lori McKenna, The The, Dennis Brennan, Kris Delmhorst. The group has grown from a rag tag jam at a local pub to a regional institution, playing gigs from church coee houses to urban nightclubs to regional festival tents to large halls.
Band: Ry Cavanaugh, Billy Beard, Dinty Child, Jim Fitting, Sean Staples and Jon Bistline.

A container for sharps in the temporary toilet at St Pancras Station. I took the picture, which came out rather poorly, as I was impressed by Network Rail's new attitude towards drug use - that attitude being, if you're going to pump your arm full of heroin, at least have the common decency to put the needle in the bin afterwards.

These are photos from a Power Point presentation explaining a study in Augusta, Georgia about a street named for Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The “Claiming A Street Named King” Project is the brainchild of Rev. Terence A. Dicks of Augusta, Georgia.
These photos depict homes, building and abandoned structures along Martin Lutheran King, Jr. Boulevard in Augusta, Georgia.
It began with research in Athens and Augusta (Georgia) through the University Of Georgia School Of Environmental Design.
Research was led by Dr. Mary Anne Akers in collaboration with Georgia Legal Services Program, Georgia State Trade Association of Non-profit Developers (G-STAND) and Neighborhood Works America, INC.
“Claiming A Street Named King” Project study in Augusta, Georgia – conducted along Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard - shows areas that need economic assistance – and that’s the same issue in many American cities that have streets named for civil rights leaders

After the shock of Donald Trump’s inauguration day, when millions of Americans (and visiting foreigners like me) felt understandably distraught, bereft, dismayed, as the grotesque, narcissistic, predatory, corrupt fraud that is Donald Trump delivered a bleak and graceless inauguration speech, it was nothing short of a delight on Saturday, Jan. 21, Day 2 of the aberrant Trump presidency, when, across the country and around the world, millions of women (plus large numbers of supportive men) marched in protest against Trump and all he and his administration stand for — his disdain for women, his racism, his xenophobia, his adherence to intolerant white Christian fundamentalism, and, last but not least, his opaque, but very obviously corrupt business practices. Two US academics have estimated that between 3.3m and 4.6m people marched in total across the US, with New York’s turnout estimated at between 400,000 and 500,000 people.
Stepping out of Grand Central Station into a river of protest, on E 42nd Street, and then, shown here, as the march turned onto Fifth Avenue, with more clever, witty and insightful handmade posters than you could imagine, and with chants and cheers punctuating the general hubbub at regular intervals was to feel that perhaps this dystopian vision of America can indeed be overthrown before it wreaks untold havoc at home and abroad. And with no beginning or end of the protest in sight, it was easy to believe that the number marching was much larger than even the academics’ estimate.
It will take more than one day, of course, as the people of America need to unite like never before — everyone who didn’t vote for Trump, everyone threatened by Trump, everyone appalled by Trump, including, of course, those who voted for him but might already be having second thoughts. This could be a disastrous presidency, or it could be even worse than that, but people need to put aside any notions of complacency, and work out how to resist. This was a great start, and a historic moment that everyone there will remember, but now there needs to be much more action and organizing.
As you look at these photos, however, I hope they are a reminder of a day of hope across the US and around the world, when ordinary people demonstrated that fundamental decency will not be silenced, and that a tolerant, multi-racial society, featuring, at its heart, equality between women and men, and between people whatever their race, creed or color, has humour, intelligence and compassion that throw into even sharper relief how troublingly miserable, negative and ungenerous Donald Trump and his advisors are.

So start being a bit more bloody considerate, you towpath-hogging, danger-making, irritation-causing, bell-ding-enrudening, selfish cyclist fucks.
Yes, I know I ride my bike all over the shop; yes, I know I have been less than 100% considerate on various occasions in my life, but: it's pretty clear to anyone with even half a brain that hoofing a bike along a narrow path next to a cold pile of dirty water with lots of people walking on it is NOT a safe or good idea for those people, particularly under bridges, you daft, impatient bastards, so I just don't take my bike on the towpath, even though it would be quicker and safer for me if I didn't have to ride next to trucks and buses.
The thing is, I'm really not an especially non-selfish person; it just seems bleeding obvious - so what's with you lot? Are you different in some way? Do normal common sense, courtesy and decency not apply to you? Do you have a special dispensation from Boris Johnson to piss me off every day? Has he sunk to the level of trying to annoy individual London-dwellers one by one, by proxy? Well, I hope you all fall in. Maybe you'll all get Weil's disease and select yourselves out.
