Studio Tour: Victoria Pemberton
by Maxwell Tielman
From the runway to the hallway, indigo seems to have taken the world completely by storm this year. Although we had seen whisperings of this emerging trend over the past few years, everything these days seems to be dyed with this beautiful shade of blue. We have our fair share of design-world go-tos who are working with this timeless plant-based pigment, but one of our recent favorites is Melbourne-based designer Victoria Pemberton, the proprietor of the textile company Bind | Fold.
Pemberton originally turned to fabric dying as a hobby while caring for her newborn son, Miles. Over time, however, this hobby turned into a passion and then into a full-fledged business. Employing a wide variety of techniques from shibori to quilting, Pemberton's process has as much to do with sustainability as it does with beautiful results. "As someone who works with chemicals on a near daily basis," she notes on her website, "it's important to me that I work in an environmentally sustainable way. With this in mind, I am currently focusing on using only natural, plant-based dyes in my work." In addition to her exclusive use of natural dyes and fabrics, Pemberton has also made efforts to curb waste by incorporating fabric scraps into new designs. Victoria was kind enough to share some photographs of her studio and process with us recently — check them all out in the slideshow! —Max

MAX! Are you back? This shibori process is so interesting to me. I wonder if an old girl like myself could learn a new hobby. Hmmm. Thank you for sharing.

Women Coaches Wanted
Women's basketball coach Allison Kern reacts.
Megan Kishbaugh , Reporter
Since Title IX of 1972, the law that granted women equal rights in education, women have pulled up their shin guards, laced up their cleats, and tied up their hair with prewrap in college sports, but greater participation in sports has not led to equality: Few women serve as coaches, and their numbers are declining.
At Misericordia, which was founded in 1924 as a women's school, 100% more men than women serve as coaches. Eighteen men and nine women coach the 21 sports teams within the athletic department. Four men coach women's teams.
No women—zero—coach men's teams.
Throughout the university's athletic history, the coaching staff has been heavily male dominated. Women have coached only five out of ten female sports teams since 1990. In total, the university has had only 13 female coaches.
"There is obviously an issue within collegiate coaching," said field hockey coach Robyn Stahovic, who was the only full time female coach in the athletic department in 2002.
As bad as the numbers are, Misericordia can take credit for making an effort toward athletic equality: The university's neighboring schools, Wilkes University and King's College, are doing much more poorly. Both schools have almost triple the number of male coaches to female coaches. Wilkes University employs 36 male coaches to 13 female coaches for 21 sports teams, while King's College employs 39 men to 16 women for 22 teams. No women coach men's teams, but plenty of men coach women's teams: six at Wilkes and 11 at King's. Note that Misericordia has one more women's team than each of those schools do.
Nationally, the number of female collegiate coaches is dismal. Across all three divisions of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, women hold only 20% of coaching jobs. Women serve as head coaches for only 4% of men's teams and 40% of women's teams.
While it's easy to dismiss the stark inequality in sports leadership by assuming that women are still climbing, slowly moving up the ladder much as they are in terms of employment and pay equality, that is a mistake. The number of female coaches in collegiate athletics is not going up; it's going down, way down.
According to a study by Susan Welch of Pennsylvania State University and Lee Sigelman of Georgia State University, in 1972 –when Title IX was passed – approximately 90% of the coaching staffs for women's teams nationwide were women, but by 2006 that figure had dropped all the way to 42%. The University of Minnesota's Tucker Center for Research on Girls & Women in Sport and the Alliance of Women Coaches found that in the 2012 to 2013 school year, only 40.2 % of head coaches of women's teams in NCAA Division I conferences were female – 356 women coaches out of a total of 886 women's teams. That percentage dropped to 39.6 % – 352 out of 888 teams the next year. The study surveyed 76 schools.
"Women leaders in collegiate sports are scarce and declining," said Dr. Nicole LaVoi of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport.
But more women are playing sports than ever before. According to LaVoi's research, in 1972 one in every 27 girls participated in sports – today that number is 1 in 3.
The lack of women leaders in collegiate sports presents a twofold problem: Young women are missing out on female mentoring, and that can result in a catch 22. The scarcity of female coaches may make it less likely that younger women will assume sports leadership roles in the future.
"Most girls throughout their athletic career never get the opportunity to have a female role model as their coach," LaVoi said. "When girls are coached by other women, they are more likely to go into the coaching profession."
Young men may be missing out, too. Senior basketball standout Jeffrey Puckett said he had only two female coaches during his entire sports career, and that was in eighth grade. But he said they were unforgettable.
"It made no difference to us that they were women. They were obviously qualified for the job."
Puckett recalled a basketball tournament when the team was down by 10 points at half time. The team stood in a circle around the coaches whose first concern was that the boys were feeling all right about how they were playing. They did not discuss tactics right away.
"They yelled a lot less than my male coaches. That's for sure."
Puckett said his two coaches showed the boys what to do to get the win. They had mini white boards, the ones with the court lines on them, and each coach drew a play. The boys listened, comprehended and ran onto the court after the buzzer, confident in their coaches' plan.
"Having a female coach would be beneficial in situations where you're losing at the end of a quarter or half because of their nurturing nature," Puckett said. "No one wants to hear how terrible they are playing when they are losing."
His team took home the first place trophy that day.
"I would never doubt a female's knowledge of the game," Puckett said. "My female coaches had just as much to offer as my male coaches."
Tina Colatriano, a senior occupational therapy major who played soccer since freshman year, said most of the female coaches she's had meant business. She said they were encouraging, often saying things like "keep it up" or "great work, girls." But overall, they wouldn't take excuses.
"I think my female coaches were harder on me as an athlete," Coltriano said. "In some ways I think they have more to prove."
While reasons for the lack of female coaches are almost as scarce as female coaches are, Stahovic suspects the problem is that the sports culture, created and maintained by men, is simply more welcoming to men.
"Some athletic programs are supportive of their female coaches and some aren't," Stahovic said.
Athletic Director Charles Edkins said he supports women in sports leadership. "Having a diverse coaching staff and women coaches in collegiate athletics is very important," Edkins said. "It's necessary." Edkins added, "I'm a Title IX guy."
Edkins said he is angered by the thought of his daughters being denied any opportunity, let alone athletic opportunity. He said he thinks about how all student athletes – including females – are impacted with every decision that the athletics staff makes.
"Of course there are Title IX issues that come into play," Edkins said. "Title IX isn't just about sports participation; it's all educational programs. There needs to be a balance in the number of sports, student athletes, number of coaches."
So is the university doing anything to improve gender diversity in sports leadership? Most recently, when the university added the football program in 2012, it hired three male coaches for that sport. But that same year Edkins hired women's lacrosse coach Chrissy Trescavage.
"I believe in hiring the best candidate for the job," Edkins said. "Regardless of gender, the person applying needs to have the right qualifications."
The Alliance of Women Coaches is taking action to aid women in the pursuit of coaching careers. Through educational programs, workshops, forums and learning platforms, the Alliance wants to be an important voice,
resource and community for women coaches.
"Reducing the barriers that some women face in the pursuit of a coaching career is a necessary goal for the alliance," Executive Director Marlene Bjornsrud said.
One of the Alliance's main programs is the NCAA Women Coaches Academy, a four-day educational training program for coaches of all levels that offers non-sport-program management strategies, which focus on philosophy development and building skills and knowledge.
Bjornsrud said women need to have the same chances as men to receive the same benefits and opportunities sports has to offer. The Alliance provides awareness for those who are in the dark about sports inequality.
"No one opens the door to make it easy for women," Stahvoic said.

Parliament backs Samoa being declared Christian state
Sunday, January 29, 2017 International News
Parliament is a step closer to amending the Constitution to define Samoa as a Christian State.
This followed widespread support for the Constitutional Amendment Bill (No.2) 2016 tabled by Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi last year.
According to the Constitutional Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2016's Explanatory Memorandum, the government aims to insert in the Constitution that Samoa is a Christian nation to declare the dominance of Christianity in Samoa.
During the second reading in Parliament this week, Tuilaepa said the Constitution's reference to Christianity as it stands is only in the Preamble of the Constitution.
"The discussion of this bill is not new as it was introduced in our last Parliament sitting. And from that discussion, we saw how inadequate the Constitution was at the time. Inadequate in terms of how Samoa as a Christian State is not included in the body of the Constitution.
"Instead it is in the cover and the preamble of the Constitution, not within the body of the Constitution.
"This shows that it is not part of the Constitution. This does not stand in Court as it is not included in the body of the Constitution."
Tuilaepa said he understood the main reason it wasn't included in the body of the Constitution then was because there were no religious wars in Samoa when the Constitution was initially written. He said that perhaps our ancestors were not thinking about it at the time.
"This means that we have been misled all these years. And every time we say that Samoa is founded on God because it is in within our Constitution, God must've had a good laugh and thought that we have been fooling him.
"And it has been more than 50 years since we have been fooling God, because this is not in the body of our Constitution.
"That is exactly why the 47 members of our party (HRPP) have decided to review and amend the Constitution to correct this.
"The main objective of the bill is that Samoa's religious stance as a Christian nation may be firmly enshrined in the body of the Constitution."
With the amendment, Tuilaepa said Christianity will no longer be at the Cover or the preamble of the Constitution. Rather it will become an integral part of the body of the Constitution.
"The phrase "Samoa is founded on God" will no longer be used. Instead, under the Constitution, it will be, "Samoa is a Christian nation founded of God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
Finally, Tuilaepa said that religious wars are a common occurrence throughout the world and it has resulted in some great civil wars within countries.
Therefore, it is the Government's duty to legislate accordingly, in efforts to avoid religious tensions in the future.

Island Fling
Victor reckons everyone's talking about it
I was in Spain last week - not nice Spain, but nasty, dirty ex-pat ghetto Spain, the Spain that has an "Irish" karaoke bar at the corner of every street, the Spain whose supermarkets stock potted noodles and baked beans. We didn't have Spanish television. So, instead of the welcome prospect of holiday local news, I was treated to Channel Islands' ITV courtesy of Sky. And what a treat it was.
Of course, it goes without saying that you have all been following the tenth Island Games, held this year in Guernsey. For the few of you who missed them, here's the big news from Channel TV. It's the most exciting thing since the Germans left.
Tuesday 1st July saw the competition's football semi-final qualifier between Guernsey, the host nation and Rhodes, who were celebrating having just that day been awarded the games for 2007. With temperatures in the low twenties, tempers were running high.
One Guernsey player was sent off earlier in the first half, as was the Rhodes Manager. Play was then halted when several of the Rhodes footballers surrounded the referee, Wendy Toms. After sending off five of the Rhodes players Ms Toms had no other option but to order the match to be abandoned mid-way through the second half, with Guernsey 2-1 in the lead. As the ugly scenes on the pitch spilled over into the crowd, police were called to the Corbet Field ground.
The Island Games Association Court of Appeal awarded the fixture to Guernsey, and the Rhodes team subsequently withdrew from the rest of the football competition, imposing a life-ban on the five who were red-carded. Despite fears of similar violence, the Ladies match passed off without incident, Guernsey winning 3-2.
The 2007 Rhodes games now face a football boycott, with officials from Jersey, Guernsey and the Falklands voicing concerns over the safety of players and management alike and Guernsey's star players refusing to attend.
OK, so you could have found this out for yourselves - and no, it's not exactly an original piece of creative writing. But you can appreciate why I had to tell you. Not only is it a great story: it's also true - perhaps the truest thing I've ever put up here. What particularly pleases me about it?
1) There is such a thing as the Island Games
2) On the night of 1st July, irate Greeks rampaged through the streets of Guernsey's capital. I bet you don't see that every day in St Peter Port.

Today we welcomed to Rockbrook the June Mini Session campers to join the girls already here for the full First Session. This is exciting because most of these campers are new to camp, and are even more eager to experience camp life. They've been thinking about camp for months, writing their pen pals, wearing the RBC t-shirt, packing (and repacking!), so when opening day finally arrives, they are about to pop with excitement! Parents are sometimes a little surprised when after checking in and getting settled in the cabin, their daughter confidently says goodbye and runs off with her new cabin mates. All that excitement wants to get busy right away.
Everyone's first day at camp includes a trip to the lake for a "swim demonstration," a chance for each person to demonstrate her swimming ability and receive a buddy tag. With our waterfront director Elizabeth in charge and several lifeguards in the water, everyone takes a turn jumping off the dock, swimming out 60ft, back another 60ft, and then treading water for 30 seconds. Doing so "passes" the swim demo. If a camper's swimming skills are weak, she receives a special colored buddy tag (alerting the lifeguards) and must wear a life jacket in the shallow end of the lake, but she will also be offered swimming lessons during her swimming activity or during one of the free swim periods. We don't insist girls take these lessons or require anyone to go swimming, but we do limit anyone's use of the lake if they can't swim well.
Later in the afternoon, the whole camp put on bathing suits and went down to the landsports field for a giant "Hawaiian Water Carnival." This included a huge inflatable water slide, a long slip-n-slide (wet and slick!), a fun coconut bowling game, face painting, snow cones, dance music, hula hooping, and plenty of bright sunshine. It was a very warm day for this time of year (in the upper 80s), so it felt really good to get wet on the slide or the slip-n-slide. If you haven't seen a slip-n-slide, it's a long piece of plastic draped down a gentle hill, and with soap and water sprayed on it. Girls start at the top of the hill, run, and leap onto the plastic sliding themselves down the hill… on your knees, sitting down, on your stomach, they all work great.
One Response to "Big Sunday Fun"
Looks like a great way to kick-off the mini-session! I love being able to check in to see how things are going. Thank you!


In my practice, I specialize in working with adults from young adulthood to one's elder years. Each stage of adulthood brings different life experiences.
As you continue through your adult life, each stage brings with it change and challenges. Sometimes we meet these areas of our life as opportunities for growth or they can sometimes result in our being stuck, overwhelmed and unable to move forward. These times can be filled with much pain which can complicate our ability to move on with life. At these times we may develop certain symptoms.
Your symptoms can be your mind's way of trying to get your attention. When the body is afflicted, we experience physical pain and we seek out some type of physical care. When the mind is afflicted and in pain, we have symptoms. There is a very strong mind/body connection so seeking out mental health care is vital to restoring ourselves.
There are many areas of adult life where one might begin to develop symptomatology. Depression and anxiety are very common symptoms that develop. You may be a young adult establishing yourself in the world more independently from your parents. This can be an exciting time, but also scary. Stepping out in life on your own is a big task. Trying to form relationships, seeking employment and resources to support yourself is challenging.
You may be in mid-adulthood, addressing issues of a committed relationship, the loss of a relationship, or maybe trying to have children or parenting while managing a career and juggling your needs with everyone else in your life.
You may also be at the stage of adulthood, where empty nesting is soon to come or has arrived and now you may be wondering what is the meaning of your life now. What is your purpose and direction in life without familiar roles.
Maybe you are moving to a stage of redefining yourself without the familiar roles of work and home. The change or loss of a career or a role in your life can be quite confusing and disturbing.
Throughout all of these stages, we can at one time or another experience a traumatic or tragic event. These times of loss can create much pain and complications in life's journey.
In any of these times of difficulty, you may find reaching out to an experience psychologist can be essential in moving on with less pain. I would welcome a call from you.

Today, when you order "Hellophane by Dan Huffman", you'll instantly be emailed a Penguin Magic gift certificate. You can spend it on anything you like at Penguin, just like cash. Just complete your order as normal, and within seconds you'll get an email with your gift certificate.
1. Burn a hole into any water bottle, wrapper, casing; anything made of plastic or cellophane.
2. Visually, and instantly heal the burnt area.
This effect is impossibly visual, yet easy to learn. Objects can be borrowed and examined by the audience. This mind-melting effect was created by the imaginative Dan Huffman and presented to you by top pro Brent Braun.
No threads, magnets, or elastics are used. This is ORGANIC MAGIC at its absolute best.
I fooled magicians with this, and the gimmicks are annoying to make! It can take like 20 mins to make 20-30 gimmicks. I don't even know where you can keep them.
But the main thing is that. You can NOT vanish the hole as quick as it looks in the video.Yes you can, but not in a quite situation! And sometimes you will see how its done if you perform the fast one.
13 of 18 magicians found this helpful.
Very clever illusion. Easy to perform. I love the fact that you can start and end the illusion completely "clean." Most effective when using a spectator's gum package. You'll enjoy this illusion. It's a keeper.
10 of 12 magicians found this helpful.
Just buy it now is all I can say. SUPER easy to do and a jaw dropper. There are so many versatile ways of performing this as well. ADD TO CART NOW. I would have paid $20.00!!!
I paid half price for this on a sale offer, but after using it a few times, the audience reaction is worth the ten bucks price. SO simple to do, it seems too easy that you can so completely trick anyone with very little effort, and finish clean. I use matches in a paper matchbook, and as an aside (with very little sleight of hand), I finish by replacing the burnt match into the book, still attached to the other matches. Absolutely not necessary, but it does get an additional 'huh?!!' from the audience. The trick by itself is great. A wonderful addition to my impromptu bag o tricks. Thanks!
Hellophane is pretty much like the presentations in the trailer. Some of the methods are best avoided in brightly lit situations, but the simplest method where you "heal" the hole can be done anywhere. I knew this was good when I showed it to my Magic-savvy wife/critic; she was amazed...that, for me, is the "acid" test! Thanks to Penguin for your Instant Downloads. I'm almost 62 years young and I don't even buy green Bananas anymore!
This trick is a killer. Visually stunning that still fooled me even when I knew the secret. This trick is extremely easy to do requiring only the most basic household items to perform it and create the gimmick which is cheap and simple. For 9.95 this trick is an absolute steal and you better add it to your cart. By the way, heres a little tip for creating the gimmick that I use. I like to use nail clippers to create the gimmick since the rounded edges perfectly complement the gimmick and it really makes it easier to get the gimmick to a smoothed edge with no bits coming out. I hope this review will really convince you to buy this amazing trick and I hope I haven't revealed too much.
Very good trick, one of those "why-didn't-I-think-of-that-trick"
Hellophane is a big reaction effect, how it looks in the demo is how it looks in person. It truly does look like real life cgi/Photoshop.
I did this effect at my father in laws during a party for his mates. One of them literally screamed and freaked out and for the next THREE hours he asked over and over "are you the devil and how did you do that". And every time he did I lit a cigarette picked up the nearest plastic object performed the illusion and replied "just like that" he was just as amazed every single time.
excellent instructions, simple to do for all skill levels.
Best of all within five minutes of watching the demo you WILL perform this feat with no effort at all.
get this illusion now well worth it.
I'm not a real experienced magician but I was doing this about 30 minutes min after watching the video. The look on the spectators face is priceless. Everything can be borrowed. Plus, it's possible to instantly repeat it.


A man who had downed a bottle of Jack Daniels and slapped his pregnant girlfriend was Tasered by police after he pointed a fake machine gun at them.
It emerged in court that Antoni Howe was 'extremely fortunate' that armed officers were busy elsewhere, otherwise he would have been shot.
The only police who went to the house in Weelsby Street where he was were officers who had Tasers.
Howe, 37, of Ladysmith Road, Grimsby, admitted possessing an imitation assault rifle with intent to cause fear of violence on November 29.
The frightening incident was captured on nearby CCTV and shared by Grimsby Live at the time.
Paul Genney, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that police were alerted by Howe's sister that he was threatening to shoot his pregnant girlfriend.
No armed response unit was available so two police officers with Tasers went to the house in Grimsby.
Howe opened the door carrying an imitation assault rifle.
"It fires imitation pellets, quite large but non-penetrative," said Mr Genney.
"They are plastic-type and unable to inflict any sort of serious injury. It's extremely realistic.
"It's extremely heavy. The defendant is extremely fortunate that the armed response unit wasn't immediately available or they would have shot him.
"He pointed the weapon out of the door at the police.
"They tried to use their Taser but they were unsuccessful as he went back into the house and closed the door.
"Courageously, the police managed to reopen the door. He didn't have the chance to lock it or close it.
"They put their shoulders against the door and went in after him."
Howe was sitting on the stairs holding the fake gun. He was told to drop it but refused and was Tasered by both officers. The weapon was seized.
He later said: "I have slapped my missus and I have pointed a machine gun at police." A charge of assault was not pursued against him despite what he told police.
He had drunk a bottle of Jack Daniels before arguing with his girlfriend and slapping her but she had already left the house by the time the police arrived.
He was a cannabis user and had previous convictions for possessing offensive weapons in public.
One of the Taser officers later said: "I was frightened and scared but still also concerned about anyone else inside the address.
"The rifle looked to me to be real."
She felt "terror, panic and concern for ourselves and the female inside".
A firearms officer had said: "I would have used my firearm to defend myself or any other person I believed to be in danger."
Andrew Bailey, mitigating, told the court the weapon was an air soft gun of the type used locally for military-style games.
"It looks realistic but it wasn't fired," said Mr Bailey.
"It wasn't in a position to be fired because some sort of safety device has to be taken off it.
"He may have found himself shot. It wasn't his intention to hurt anyone and he didn't.
"He has expressed his shame and remorse. He is glad that this incident didn't become worse."
The girlfriend had since given birth to a baby girl. They were still together.
Judge Mark Bury said the police thought that the weapon was real.
"As far as they were aware, you had a real firearm," he said.
"You were in a state of agitation.
"They saw you come out of the house, albeit only a short way, pointing what could easily have been an automatic assault rifle.
"You have scared and put at risk police officers.
"Pointing a lifelike imitation firearm at a police officer is extremely serious.
"It does look like a real firearm."
Howe was jailed for 20 months. The gun will be forfeited and destroyed.

My legal life: Nigel Povoas
Barrister, 7 Bedford Row, London
I had a burning desire to be outstanding in whatever career I embarked upon, to work with people in a stimulating environment, and to make a significant social contribution. I chose a law degree because I thought it would provide me with a solid platform to work in many fields. Fortunately I was able to excel in this discipline from the outset, and represented the university at mooting, competing successfully against other top universities. This gave me the confidence to go on and carve a successful career at the bar.
My legal training was an excellent grounding both academically and practically. It honed my forensic and research skills, and taught me the most succinct and cogent way to present an argument, written and oral, which is important in any sphere. However, you can only be taught so much by others, and by far the best legal training of all is to learn through your own hard work and practical experience.
I have just finished a case in a foreign jurisdiction which lasted over six years. It provided by far my hardest set of professional and personal challenges. As English counsel, I had no rights of audience there, so I was lead counsel advising on all aspects of the law and litigation, and ran a highly complex international and financial investigation into the 25-year career of one of Europe's most notorious organised criminals. I was often away from home, on the road to and from a wide variety of places, living out of a suitcase.
A good lawyer, the ultimate lawyer, needs so many qualities. For me, the core qualities, from which many others stem, are integrity, sincerity, a brilliant forensic mind, a deep understanding of the law and how to research it, tenacity, stamina and strength coupled with flair, creativity, independence, and last but not least emotional intelligence. I believe all of these qualities are found in the elite barristers.
I have been privileged to have been involved, on both sides, in some of the most stimulating work at the criminal bar. My work over recent years has concerned working in or for foreign jurisdictions against high-profile or infamous international criminal figures who people have read about. If I am given the opportunity to qualify the 'usual' impression of a lawyer (something akin to an investment banker) and explain my job, people are hugely positive and interested.
The severe cuts to legal aid funding in family and particularly criminal law over the last decade have (and continue to have) a devastating impact on both the quality and the diversity of those seeking access to, and those seeking to remain at, the publicly funded bar. It is quite true that only those with sufficient private wealth and/or without dependents can afford to do so – a genuinely appalling consequence. It is obvious that this will have a knock-on effect over time on the international reputation of our legal profession as a whole. The exceptional quality and strength of the independent bar was and should be one of this country's greatest assets. I have no doubt that, save for a dramatic U-turn in the near future, posterity will judge governmental policies over the last decade as little short of a crime.
Effective international cooperation requires a strong relationship. I have worked with many different jurisdictions all over the world. In my experience, different systems, cultures, priorities, personalities, under-resourced mutual assistance departments and even significant violations of comity and foreign or international laws may all provide significant obstacles. No obstacle should be insurmountable, but I would suggest that mutual trust, understanding, demonstrable respect for each other and each other's systems, strong personal relationships, a creative intelligent approach, and a great deal of charm and tenacity are all absolutely crucial.

Our den is quite large, 16 1/2' x 22 1/2'. When I bought the house in 1989, the den was all paneled, had dark rust and brown shag carpet, dark drapes, and dark beams across the ceiling.
The redeeming features of the room were of course it's size, and a long built in combination counter desk with lots of storage, bookcase, and two closets on each end. But it was DARK!
The first thing to go was the carpeting. First, a neutral beige plush, and now a light golden, speckled, friese (new name for shag).
Next, I painted the paneling and beams. It was not the grooved paneling that I was familiar with from my parent's home. It was thin veneer sheets that overlapped slightly all around the room.
Paint lightened up the room, and I was happy for a while.
BUT, it seemed that the look of built-in was always the same.
My next change was to take most of the built-in cabinet/closet doors off and have custom curtains made to cover the cabinet openings and soften the look.
I was also happy with this look for awhile.
BUT, the built-ins still had the dated 1960's light wood finish.
This past weekend I took the transformation of the built-ins a step further and painted them white. I am spray painting the brass cafe curtain rods for the custom curtains white too.
This is not a project that my husband likes. Why? Because I painted over wood.
Why do men always want wood to stay wood colored? Maybe all men don't, but my husband does, and so do a good share of the men that shop in the furniture store that I work at four days a week. Most want "manly" oak. Oak is the preference of Northern Minnesota men.
I don't have any photos from the DARK AGES of the den, when everything was DARK, but I will show you what the built-in looked like before the weekend.
You are probably wondering why I didn't paint the countertop or the window trim. Well, I had a weathered wood look laminate put on the countertop a few years ago. I didn't want to paint the laminate, so I left the whole counter board unpainted. The window trim isn't painted either because my husband still hangs 3M shrink plastic on the inside of our windows attached to the trim by double sided tape. It really protects our windows and saves on heating during our Minnesota winters.
Of course I will show you the built ins after I get my stuff back up! Just excited about a painting project to share at Organized Clutter!
The Dark Ages of the den are almost over!
It looks brighter and updated already! I'm still dragging my feet about painting our 1921 woodwork in the living and dining room. I wish the previous owner had done it so I wouldn't have to feel guilty! I'm getting closer when I see everybody else's great before and afters.
It looks so much better! And I totally agree with you. I just painted my awful 80s oak built ins and I couldn't be happier. My husband freaked out (he came home to find it done, I didn't tell him because I knew he wouldn't like it.) But if mama ain't happy.. nobody's happy. I think you totally did the right thing!
Wow! It looks great! I feel if you're the one that cleans it (which you probably are) then you get to decide how to decorate it. I live alone so there's no question as to who makes the decorating decisions! LOL! Although, my girls (2 dogs) have tried to influence my decisions. I like the curtains too.
My husband can't stand it if I say I want to paint over oak, they are just funny that way I suppose. I think it looks great, I love how it lightens it up.

Beer lovers are a rare breed. There's a good chance you know someone who hoards limited edition craft beers or has a bucket list of breweries to tour. But recently, Australian traveler Dean Stinson set a new standard of dedication when he checked a can of Emu Export lager on his Qantas flight from Melbourne to Perth. That's right: not a case. A can.
Concocted in partnership with a friend working at Melbourne's Tullamarine Airport, Stinson's stunt was spurred as much by a desire to test the limits of airline baggage policy as any particular love for the brew that Aussies affectionately call "Bush Chook." It took a bit of finagling to convince the automated check-in kiosk to accept his precious cargo, but Stinson told Mashable he was "bloody stoked when it finally went green and zoomed off." Between the vagaries of air travel and potential theft at the hands of a thirsty baggage handler, Stinson didn't know if he'd see his Emu Export again. But he says he was "prepared to submit a lost luggage report" if it came to that.
Thankfully, Stinson avoided filing one of the more absurd lost luggage claims in the history of commercial aviation when his lager landed safely in Perth. In fact, the Australian beer made its way onto the baggage carousel well before the more legitimate luggage of his fellow travelers. "The baggage handlers obviously appreciated it," he told The Daily Mail.
While using a can as a checked bag technically didn't violate Qantas' luggage policies, the airline does advise against packing "fragile, delicate, or perishable items." Australian travel writer Peter Ellis of FlightMood said he's heard of Emu Export cases flying "as far as Greece" from their native Western Australia, but there's no doubt that the journey of this particular can of "flightless bird" is a special story.
Given that the contents of his Emu Export can may have shifted during the three-and-a-half hour flight, Stinson will probably be extra-careful before eventually cracking open this particular cold one. But there's no doubt that his flying pint will give him quite the story to share with his mates at their next happy hour.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Early Adventures Series
3 books in series
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson Publisher's Summary
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson:The Early Adventures
There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood. When we first meet them on January 1st, 1881, Holmes is still 26 years old (although he will turn 27 in just a few days), and Watson, already a wounded war veteran, is only 28. During the three-year period between early 1881 and late 1883, through all of the early adventures which cemented their lifelong friendship, Holmes was still in his 20s, with Watson just a little over a year older. This idea is difficult for many to accept as they cling to the image of our heroes as senior citizens.
This volume, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson: The Early Adventures, is an amazing collection of some of Holmes and Watson's fascinating cases that occurred during those first three years in Baker Street, when Holmes was creating his unique profession of consulting detective, while Watson was still recovering from the war wounds that he'd received in Afghanistan and slowly returning to the business of being a civilian doctor. Included are 31 new stories in three companion volumes by some of today's best Sherlockian pasticheurs, as well as an excerpt from the beginning of A Study in Scarlet, detailing the initial meeting of Holmes and Watson in early 1881, as well as possibly the most famous Canonical tale, "The Speckled Band" (occurring in April 1883) and "The Resident Patient", with its original restored opening text, as it first appeared in The Strand magazine, indicating that this adventure occurred toward the end of the first year of Holmes and Watson's residency at 221b Baker, as we climb the seventeen steps to our heroes' sitting room. You'll find that they haven't lived there quite as long in these early days, and possibly they aren't as quite as old as you might have pictured them....

The Early Adventures, Volume I
By: David Marcum, Derrick Belanger, Thomas Burns, and others
Narrated by: Kevin E. Green
There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood.
A great listen

The Early Adventures, Volume II
By: David Marcum, I. Watson, D. Tyrer, and others
This volume, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson: The Early Adventures, is an amazing collection of some of Holmes and Watson's fascinating cases that occurred during those first three years in Baker Street, when Holmes was creating his unique profession of consulting detective and Watson was still recovering from the war wounds that he'd received in Afghanistan and slowly returning to the business of being a civilian doctor. Included are 31 new stories in three companion volumes by some of today's best Sherlockian pasticheurs.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson: The Early Adventures, Volume III
By: David Marcum, Annette Siketa, Kevin Thornton, and others
There is a persistent and incorrect idea, reinforced by countless film misrepresentations, that Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were always staid and dull British chaps of middle years (or older), with Holmes a spry, cranky, and impatient eccentric, and Watson a white-haired and portly Boobus Brittanicus, a la Nigel Bruce. Students of the true and Canonical Sherlock Holmes know this to be a falsehood. When we first meet them on January 1, 1881, Holmes is still 26 years old (although he will turn 27 in just a few days), and Watson, already a wounded war veteran, is only 28.

A Former Federal Agent Examines Chronic Homelessness in '30 Seconds Away: Breaking the Cycle'
A Former Federal Agent Examines Chronic Homelessness in '30 Seconds Away: Breaking the Cycle'
Jul 6, 2015 12:54 pm
Here's your daily dose of an indie film, web series, TV pilot, what-have-you in progress — at the end of the week, you'll have the chance to vote for your favorite.
In the meantime: Is this a project you'd want to see? Tell us in the comments.
30 Seconds Away: Breaking the Cycle
Logline: Go from the streets to the courtrooms, as Harold Sloan and fellow homeless men struggle to survive in Milwaukee, WI.
Elevator Pitch: "30 Seconds Away: Breaking the Cycle" shares the story of chronic homelessness in Milwaukee, showing who homeless men are, how they got there, and how they survive. It examines the unique relationship between homelessness and Milwaukee's justice system, offering perspective through the voices of the courts, police officers and the homeless men themselves. We follow officers from Milwaukee Police Department's Homeless Outreach Team as they take their specialized training to the streets. As the scales tip in this precariously balanced struggle for survival, we discover who is "30 Seconds Away."
Production Team:
Faith Kohler, J.D, (Director/Producer) is a graduate of Marquette University Law School and Wellesley College. A former federal agent who worked extensively in Milwaukee's high crime neighborhoods, Faith recently joined the enterprise security team of a Fortune 100 company. Throughout her law enforcement career, Faith served as a volunteer within Milwaukee's homeless community. Her interest in understanding poverty and researching solutions led to the creation of "30 Seconds Away: Breaking the Cycle," which was filmed between 2010 and 2015.
Jessica Farrell (Producer) is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a BFA in Film and Photography. Jessica has also produced, directed and edited her own films. Her short documentary on the U.S. Postal Service screened at the 2013 Milwaukee Film Festival.
Andrew Swant (Editor) attended film school at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and art school at the University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire. Swant co-wrote and starred in "The Jeffrey Dahmer Files," which premiered at SXSW and was distributed by IFC.
Alex Block (Cinematography) is a graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a BFA in Film. Alex has directed and photographed short documentary films. "30 Seconds Away: Breaking the Cycle" is his first feature documentary film.
Quinn Hester (2nd Unit Cinematography) is a graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a BFA in Film. He has done additional cinematography and lighting for documentary films including "The Jeffrey Dahmer Files," "The 414s" and "USPS."
About the Film: In 2010, Harold Sloan was homeless and slept outside Milwaukee's courthouse when he wasn't in jail. He spent his days seeking shelter in the public library and panhandling his way between meal sites. Harold was not a fan of police officers when he met Faith, a federal law enforcement officer at the time who volunteered at one of the shelters. Harold shared his story and it resonated with Faith because it destroyed any preconceived notions she had about how people become homeless and why they often stay homeless. As Harold began expressing his frustrations, Faith began documenting his story.
Current Status: Successfully completed post-production fundraiser on Kickstarter.

The right time for transitioning a toddler from a crib to a bed is between the ages of 2 1/2 and 3 because, therefore, they are mentally capable about the responsibility of moving to his own bed. It is a huge responsibility that a toddler has to move into his bed. It's a new bed. It's totally different from his crib. He's able to get out and he's free. He can get out and play with his toys if he wants. He can get out and ask you for a glass of water ten times. He can come into your bed 15 times in the middle of the night. It's a huge responsibility. If your toddler is 2 1/2 and all of his friends are moving into a bed, don't feel pressure to move into a bed. Wait until he is three. There is nothing wrong with a toddler staying in his bed until he's three. The easiest way to do it, is to have the bed and the crib in the same room, so he can take naps in the bed and, at nighttime, sleep in the crib. Until he's sleeping in the bed for naps well, I wouldn't suggest you put him in the bed for nighttime. After he's be consistently sleeping for a week for naps, then I would from the crib to the bed for his nighttime. Don't ever use the crib in the way to say, "Oh, you are getting out of bed too much, I'm going to put you back in the crib." Don't use it as a disciplinary method. It's not good to do that. We want every place that they sleep to be a good, safe, happy place.

Relatively unavailable in the US until recently, we first tasted the mangosteen while in the Vietnam countryside, and I've been keeping an eye out for the things ever since. With its thick pomegranate-like shell, a meaty interior resembling an orange crossed with a peeled grape, and a unique sweet with a touch of sour taste, the mangosteen would sit near the top of my favorite fruits list, were I to compile a list of favorite fruits.
At long last, the local 99 Ranch received a shipment (selling for $6.99/lb), and I snatched up a couple pounds worth last night. Damn these things are good.
Forget the miracle fruit nonsense, as you wouldn't be eating the rind anyway and the nutritional content of the meat really isn't anything special, but do dine on one if given the chance.
And, in preparation for that potential partaking: how to enjoy a mangosteen.


A manicure or pedicure is deeply relaxing, makes your hands and feet look better, and increases confidence about your appearance.
Treat yourself to soft hands, nails in shape, and cuticles attractive and healthy. Your hands and nails will be transformed. We shape and define your nail to your personal liking. Cuticles will be pampered and trimmed to leave them looking like new. Enjoy time out with a hand massage. Your manicure will be completed with a polish colour of your choice.
Relax and enjoy as your feet are immersed in a foot spa where the vibrational effects help to stimulate your feet and leg circulation, and the bubbles help revitalise tired aching feet. Whilst soaking, enjoy the stimulating effect of a foot scrub to smooth and soften your feet, and any excess callus or hard skin is removed with a foot file. Your toenails will be trimmed and filed, and cuticles improved.
Relax and unwind during a specialised foot massage, and your pedicure will be completed with a polish colour of your choice.
Note: It is recommended to bring flip-flops when having a pedicure.
* For French Polish, please add €5 to all manicures and pedicures.
The OPI 3 week manicure / pedicure acts as an invisible layer of protection for your nails, keeping them strong so that they can grow without breaking. Plus OPI gel gives your nails incredible shine, and you won't even know you're wearing gel. OPI gels are virtually weightless, and the finish is so sheer and flawless that it lasts for 3 weeks+.

Wafer thin stick-on wafer wraps in a choice of colours and designs. Check out all the variations in salon on your next visit.
Enjoy the benefits of a regular pedicure, but with added luxury!!! Relax in an american-style massage chair with your feet in a jacuzzi foot bath. The motion of the chair releases tension in your back and neck, and boosts circulation in your upper body, while the Jacuzzi relieves tired feet and boosts circulation in your lower body.
Pamper your hands with our specialised paraffin manicure. This treatment is brilliant for circulation as the heat stimulates the flow of blood, and is particularly great for people who suffer from cold hands. Paraffin is an oily wax with added essential oils. This treatment is excellent for dry hands and cuticles as layers of melted paraffin wax are built up to form a glove which covers the hand and wrist. Your hands are then wrapped in plastic and placed in towelling mittens to retain the heat. Over the next few minutes the temperature of the skin rises enough to stimulate the sweat and sebaceous glands, deeply cleansing and softening hands and cuticles. Our paraffin has added benefits as it contains tea tree to cleanse the skin and contains nutrients to nourish hands.
Enjoy the remainder of the manicure as we concentrate on the cuticle area of each finger and thumb, and shape your nails to their ideal shape. Relax during the hand massage and pick your own individual nail polish colour to finish your manicure.
This heat treatment will meet all your feet's needs!!! We start by immersing your feet in a special paraffin wax bath, and layers of melted wax are built up to form a sock which covers your foot and ankle. Your feet are then wrapped in plastic and placed in toweling booties. The temperature of the skin rises enough to stimulate the sweat and sebaceous glands, resulting in the skin being deeply cleansed and softened.
Tea tree ingredients cleanse and nourish the feet, and the temperature of the paraffin increases circulation and is great for cold toes!! After the paraffin is removed your toenails are trimmed and filed, and cuticles improved and trimmed if necessary. Enjoy the stimulating effect of a foot scrub which will soften your feet. We will also file and improve any areas of callus or hard skin.
Relax while your feet are massaged, and pick your own individual nail polish colour to finish your pedicure.
The perfect treatment for dry, hard skin, or cracked heels. Pads soaked in an alkaline based solution are placed over the problem areas, feet are wrapped in plastic to retain heat, and left to take action for 15 minutes. In this time the alkaline solution hydrates the dead skin so much that you can actually see the skin rolling off when the foot file is used afterwards.
This intensive treatment removes a lot of hard skin, and feet may become a little dry afterwards. We recommend daily use of Australian Tea Tree Hand and Foot treatment cream to prevent recurring build up of hard skin and to ensure baby-soft feet.
Acrylic nails are nail enhancements in place of the natural nails, with infills recommended every 3-4 weeks.
A Shellac 2 week manicure / pedicure is the one and only Power Polish. It's not a gel polish, it's a true innovation in chip free, extended-wear nail colour. It goes on beautifully, wears beautifully, dries beautifully and removes with no damage.
The application service time for Shellac is only 30 minutes, and Shellac goes on with the ease of a traditional bottle of nail polish. The dry time is zero, and there's no odour and no damage to nails. Shellac is 3-free (contains no formaldehyde,DBP or toluene). Shellac polish lasts for 14+ days, with durable shine that resists chips, scratches, and smudges.
Finally, enjoy the easy-off that only Shellac delivers. Removal time is brief and the method doesn't damage the nails or surrounding skin.


The range of dual wheel solutions offered by STARCO is expanding to cover complete wheel solutions in addition to the components that were previously available. The company says this extension of its dual wheel portfolio will benefit customers by facilitating improved lead times and simplifying the supply chain. The quality of the solutions it offers, adds STARCO, are original equipment standard and use the same e-coat and powder topcoat technology found on products supplied to OEMs.
"We have customers in markets with very different requirements and applications; for instance, stability duals in mountainous Switzerland and traction duals in the Ukraine. Despite the difference in need, our product range can easily satisfy such varied requirements," comments Sven Holmes, segment director for Specialised Vehicles at STARCO.
The latest evolution within the company's dual system portfolio is the E=mc2 range. STARCO views the patented clamp system utilised on these products, which allows the dual to be simply mounted and tensioned whilst attached to the vehicle, as being "key to the success of the STARCO dual system." The manufacturer adds that it understands the need for precise fit when it comes to the dual wheel itself, and for this reason the integrated E=mc2 spacer duals have been developed to cover 46-inches. These duals are calibrated twice to ensure a positive and accurate fit for maximum power transfer and reliability.
STARCO's dual wheel systems for agricultural vehicles are designed in Switzerland and are available for 15 to 54-inch wheel sizes. The Beli Manastir plant also produces 'Made-to-Measure' agricultural wheel solutions in 20 to 54-inch sizes and 'Hi-Tech' products, which are provided for very specific, unique original equipment applications such as airport fire engines and ultra-high capacity load carriers.

If only the world would approach hunger like two kids at a kitchen table.
In a social experiment by advocacy group Action Against Hunger, 20 children paired off in groups were told to wait near plates with serving covers over them. A woman told the children she'd be gone for five minutes in order to fetch a tardy photographer. The children were also told they could lift up the serving covers on the count of three.
With each pair of kids, one was provided with a sandwich, while the other had an empty plate. Every child who was given the snack, however, offered to share it.
The PSA -- which was produced in Madrid and released in 2012, but recently resurfaced online -- reminds viewers it's unacceptable that any child should have an empty belly.
"In a world that produces more than enough food to feed everyone, 3.5 million children still die from hunger every year," the video reads. "We should learn from them and share, too."
Globally, hunger kills more people every year than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined, according to the World Food Program. About 66 million primary school-aged kids go to school hungry throughout the developing world, a report from the group found in 2012, and 23 million of them can be found in Africa.
But Americans don't need to cross an ocean to witness the effects of child hunger. A recent report by No Kid Hungry discovered the vast majority of U.S. public school teachers -- 76 percent -- said students regularly attend class hungry.
Despite a dire need for progress, however, the world has made significant strides in tackling hunger.
A report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) found that about 805 million people were chronically undernourished between 2012 and 2014 -- down more than 100 million over the last decade.
"The problem is getting smaller," Josef Schmidhuber, FAO economist, told National Geographic. "It's good news, but we have always had a more ambitious target."

Part One Chapter 6 | You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)
̶ Poets and scientists, Marietta, hand in hand. You know my name…
̶ …look up the number!
I do the intro:
̶̶ Good evening and welcome to Slaggers, featuring Dennis O'Bell…
Not missing a beat, you join in:
̶̶ Good evening…
You mime the maracas and start crooning…
̶̶ You know my name… well then, look up my number…
Cracker! You've even got the Scouse!
̶̶ You know my name…
̶ …that's right, look up my number…
A real la la!
̶̶ You, you know, you know my name…
̶ You know my name, ba-ba-ba-ba-pa-pa-pa-pa…
Your Paul to my John is perfect: Your eyes shine and I see mine in them. And yet, 'By a name I know not how to tell thee who I am'…
By Ian MacDonald
During much of the summer of 1967, The Beatles were, in effect, just messing about at random in the echo of Sgt. Pepper. Whether, stoned as they were, they knew they were messing about is beside the point. 'You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)' is a fair indication of the state they were in. Lennon conceived its opening section as the beginning of a long, chant-like freak-out consisting solely of the title-phrase ('like a mantra'). This didn't work and the concept altered many times, expanding at one point to a twenty-minute design in multiple parts before being left for nearly two years and edited down. The result of all this blind-flying is, thanks to the band's natural humour, quite funny, while the track remains interesting as a glimpse of their creative process preserved in its inchoate initial stages.
From Ian MacDonald, Revolution In The Head: The Beatles Records and the Sixties ((Pimlico, Second Edition, 1998)
Part Nine Chapter 7 | With a Little Help from My Friends
̶ Wouldn't you be more comfortable without your sneakers?
̶ Is that your question?
̶ Yes.
She undoes her shoelaces and takes off her shoes: The life of the unselfconscious body, conscious of its appeal, moulds her white socks—streamlined, tensile, taut—to the curve of an awakening cat: The arch of her instep, the velocity and repose in her feet—
̶̶ Is it my turn, Sprague, or do you want to ask another question?
̶ Would you believe in a love at first sight?
̶ Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.
̶ What do you see when you turn out the light?
̶ I can't tell you but I know it's mine.
̶ Tell me true: Do you believe in love at first sight?
̶ No. Lightning never strikes out of a blue sky. It's when you want to change your life that you fall in love.
The countercultural spirit of 1966-69 was essentially communal, and The Beatles were, for a while, convinced that the coming Arcadia would be tranquilly collective. This assumption (thematic in Magical Mystery Tour and implied in their TV versions of 'All You Need is Love' and 'Hey Jude') first entered their music in a song absent-mindedly evolved in a roomful of chattering acquaintances: 'With a Little Help from My Friends'. At once communal and personal, it's a song of comfort—an acid lullaby. Touchingly rendered by Starr, it was meant as a gesture of inclusivity: everyone could join in. Anthemised by Joe Cocker, it became a countercultural totem, a symbol of 'Woodstock Nation'. Yet the lines that resonated most for its late Sixties audience seemed mysterious beyond paraphrase: 'What do you see when you turn out the light? / I can't tell you but I know it's mine.' These words had the appearance of emerging from beyond the rational mind, and, in 1967, seemed convincing precisely because of that.
Part Nine Chapter 7 | Tomorrow Never Knows
Together we pitch our tunnel tent. The guylines taut, the tent trim, we align the air mattresses inside and roll out our sleeping bags. I adjust the ventilation vents, slip my water into a stowage pocket and stash my clothes; you attach the light diffuser to your headlamp and hang it from a hoop, then stretch out on your sleeping bag. Kneeling on mine, I say:
̶ Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream.
You close your eyes and cross your arms over your breasts. I lay my body on yours and—tracing the bow of your lips with the tip of my tongue—begin my work of resuscitation.
Lennon took LSD for the third time in January 1966. Apparently intending a serious voyage of self-discovery, he used the instructions given in Leary and Alpert's The Psychedelic Experience, reading its paraphrase of The Tibetan Book of the Dead onto a tape-recorder and playing it back as the drug took effect. The result was spectacular and he hastened to capture it in song, taking many of his lines directly from Leary and Alpert's text—above all its rapturous invocation of the supposed reality behind appearances: The Void. As 'The Void', the song was the first to be recorded for Revolver. Under its eventual title, 'Tomorrow Never Knows', it introduced LSD and Leary's psychedelic revolution to the young of the Western world, becoming one of the most socially influential records The Beatles ever made.
While later thankful to have escaped its clutches, Lennon always acknowledged that LSD changed him in some ways for the better. Those who knew him in 1966 say his personality suddenly softened, his aggression giving way to a noticeably mellower mood. The drug had a similar impact on his music, playing a role in his most imaginative creations: 'Strawberry Fields Forever', 'A Day in the Life', and 'I Am the Walrus'. Yet of all Lennon's LSD-driven songs, 'Tomorrow Never Knows' is most directly about the drug. Commencing with a line from The Psychedelic Experience, the song takes its title from a saying of Starr's, analogous to the hippie maxim 'Be here now'. Typically horizontal, Lennon's lazy Mixolydian melody rises and falls over a C drone on bass, tambura, and sitar, producing a mild polychord when it drifts to B flat. The influence of Indian music is obvious.
Prologue | Strawberry Fields Forever | Got to Get You into My Life
̶ I love you once, I love you twice, I love you more than curry and rice! Two-two. Your turn.
Feeling his body still restoring itself, the boy decides to play for time.
̶̶ Jag, who's your favourite Beatle?
̶ John. He's the craziest!
̶ I used to like Paul the best, but now it's George.
̶ I like All Things Must Pass. It's so dark and mysterious.
̶ And do you hate Yoko for breaking up the band?
̶ No. 'All things must pass.' And besides, John and Yoko are obviously in love.
̶ And what's your favourite song?
̶ Oh, impossible to say. Maybe 'Got to Get You into My Life'.
̶ Mine's 'Strawberry Fields Forever'.
̶ No one I think is in my tree…
̶ I mean it must be high or low…
̶ What a great song!
Paul Klee, Ghost of a Genius, 1922
Paul Klee, Bob, 1920
The inaugural song [in the recording sessions beginning in November 1966] was to be another of Lennon's hallucinogenic ventures into the mental interior: 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Taking up where 'She Said She Said' had left off, 'Strawberry Fields' further pursued the theme of sensations too confusing, intense, or personal to articulate (an effect, reproduced in his deliberately stumbling lyric). This time, the character finding it hard to express herself was an orphan at Strawberry Field, a girls' reform school in Beaconsfield Road near Lennon's childhood home in Woolton. Never one to repeat himself, he turned the anxious disorientation of 'She Said She Said' into something more ambiguous: on the one hand, a study in uncertain identity, tinged with the loneliness of the solitary rebel against all things institutional; on the other, an eerie longing for a wild childhood of hide-and-seek and tree-climbing: the visionary strawberry fields of his imagination. This second aspect of the song effectively inaugurated the English pop-pastoral mood explored in the late Sixties by groups like Pink Floyd, Traffic, Family, and Fairport Convention. More significant, though, was the song's child's-eye-view—for the true subject of English psychedelia was neither love nor drugs, but nostalgia for the innocent vision of the child.
Holding a one-note bass-line for its first eight bars, 'Got to Get You into My Life' is a taut design that relieves its tension only in the climactic shout of its chorus. Closely miked and limited for a punchy sound, the brass maintains the mood, driving the track to the release of a screaming fade. Starr's drum fills are slightly stiff, as if inhibited by the metronomic beat, but Harrison's guitar crescendo precisely captures the wound-up urgency of the music.
Lennon observed that he thought the lyric, which he particularly liked, referred to McCartney's belated experience of LSD. McCartney has since confirmed this.
