The Matter of a Secret Kiss

The Matter of a Secret Kiss
Not to disappoint the reader, but this is not the story of my first love. There will be no lengthy discriptions of sexual freedom expressed, no hot-and-bothered groping sessions with adolescent me as main protagonist. If you ask for an account of my first love, I have only this to say: I have high hopes for this event that still lies in the future.
Therefore, I have decided to entertain you with a different kind of account. It's not the story of my first kiss, that clumsily fumbling moment of exploration that my co-conspirator enjoyed much more than I did. It's the story of a defining day in my life, shared by a young person I will never forget, though I'm quite sure the impact I had on her life was negligible.
It was my defining day, not hers although she played an important part in it. You may say that she already played an important part in my everyday life, before she even acknowledged my existence. So important, in fact, that my best friend Gretchen commented on it one day.
"You have a total crush on that girl, don't you?" Gretchen let herself fall onto my bed. She was bored of staring out the window, waiting for the moment next door's Camille Forster would come home from school. A pasttime I hadn't yet tired of and wouldn't for some time to come.
"I just want you to see her. You always complain about how Tena thinks she's Tyra Banks, or someone, but isn't that good looking. Now, Camille is, she's gorgeous."
"Total crush, as I said," Gretchen countered.
"I do not have a crush on her. I just want you to see her. I...," but I fell silent when I caught movement out of the corner of my eye which had still been on the lookout over next door's driveway. And there she was. I had missed her friend's car dropping her off, but I didn't miss Camille walking up the driveway. And I stared.
At that moment, denying that I did indeed have a crush on her became a mute point. I could feel the flush in my cheeks, the smile that broke onto my lips. Then I noticed Gretchen coming to stand beside me. She must have noticed my staring.
"That her?"
"Mh-hm," was all I could utter.
"She pretty."
"Pretty," I scoffed. To me, she was more beautiful than all the models in all the magazines. She was tall, without towering. She was self-possessed without any sign of arrogance. She seemed to care about her looks but in a cool, negligent way, like she wasn't aware of her beauty at all. She was just perfect, why couldn't Gretchen admit it?
"She isn't a knock-out. I doubt, Bran would give her the time of day if he knew her." Gretchen went back to the bed and sat down, crossing her legs primly.
Bran - her favorite topic. My least favorite topic. Brandon Garfield and I were kind of dating, though those days I always found an excuse to not go any place where we would be alone and where he would start kissing and groping me. I wasn't into it. He was. We didn't really have anything in common, but high school etiquette insisted I have a boyfriend. I felt stupid about giving into those rules, but not stupid enough to stop pretending. I thought it was part of the game, the game where you pretended to want what everybody else wanted.
Gretchen had a crush on Bran, but he liked me. It was complicated because I had to pretend not to know about her crush, even though she'd talked about him for most of last year. It was stupid, really. Another stupid thing to do.
And then there was Camille and my crush on her. On that day, with Gretchen looking at me I admitted for the first time that it was indeed a crush. Girls look at girls all the time, usually in censure or comparison, sometimes in admiration. But the kind of staring excercise I engaged in on a daily basis was different. Might as well call it what it was: a big, fat crush. But then, I couldn't imagine how anyone could not crush on Camille Foster - she was perfect.
Gretchen didn't think so, though, and I felt disappointed in her. We'd always shared our crushes, at least until we were about 15, then her crushes got decidedly real in both our lives. I can't even say if I had liked any boys since then. Certainly not in the way I was drawn to my next door neighbor.
* * *
When I say next door neighbor you imagine two identical suburban homes sitting side-by-side, probably with my bedroom window looking into hers. Well, don't let your lively imagination fool you. While suburban, the Foster house stood across the street and much grander than our three bedroom home. I had always looked at that house and wondered at the kind of architect who had decided that the side street would be the barrier between the wealthy and the middle class-y. The houses further down from ours looked like ours, but the ones going toward town were bigger, beginning with the one the Fosters had moved into only two months prior.
This barrier was visible in the houses, the cars our parents drove, the front lawns, even the lawn mowers. And it was possibly the reason Camille had never looked at me while I never stopped looking at her. You're looking toward better, not worse, and we had never shared a gaze, never a word. My dad waved at her dad when he happened to drive by their house when Mr. Foster was out, that was all the contact between our families. Fathers waving. But the side street seperating us was too wide for more.
Until that fateful day, my defining day, when I was standing in line to pay for an assortment of snacks at the residential Wal-Mart. I hadn't even noticed Camille at first with the couple fussing over their groceries in front of me. But as she was turning sideways toward the cashier, my heart did that weird stumbling thing and I knew. I was about to stare as she turned toward me, looking directly at me with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"You don't happen to have an extra dollar on you, do you?"
In that moment, several things became wonderfully clear: she knew who I was; she had seen me before I'd seen her; and she knew I was there. My heart did a little happy dance as my brain tried to catch up with her request. Money. I reached for my wallet and opened it. Without even thinking whether I would be able to pay for my own purchases, I pulled out a dollar and handed it to her. She smiled, I grew three inches.
And then she was gone. She left without as much as a backward glance toward her savior from certain public humiliation - or at least from having to leave a candy bar behind. And I waited patiently for the couple in front of me to store all their bags in their shopping cart, pay, leave.
I left the store still contemplating what had happened, still wondering if we would talk again. I didn't care about the money, though I desperately wanted her to return it, just because then she would talk to me. How pathetic I was. But crushing makes you pathetic. It can also stop your brain from working as happened a few moments after I left the mart.
"Lollipop?" Camille was leaning against an outside wall, her arm outstretched to offer me the candy.
"Huh?" It was more from the overall shock of having her talk to me than in question of her offer. I wasn't sure what was happening in my life at that moment, because it looked like a situation I might have made up in my mind. A precious situation where I finally got to know my crush and so of course my brain stalled. It never had in one of my fantasies, meaning that on some level at least I knew this was real.
"I thought you might want a lollipop as compensation for saving my life in there? No? Yes?"
"Yes!" My brain had decided, my voice burst forth.
Camille grinned. "I'm Camille, by the way. I never got your name. You live across the street from us, right?"
I took the lolli from her, trying to be nonchalant about it but felt really dorky. It was cherry, my favorite. "Well, it's more like next door, but... yeah. I'm Shauna, hi." I put out my hand.
Camille looked at it bemusedly but then took it, shook it formally and let go again. "So, Shauna," she said, linking our arms and pulling me to a walk away from the store. "What's with the serious snack-attack in your bag? You trying to get over a boy, or something? I saw a lot of chocolate."
I blushed. "No, I... ehm, I... study-session."
"Oh, something important? Can't be exam time at your school yet, can it?"
It wasn't. I just wanted to get an assignment for my English class under way, because I wanted an A+ as per usual. But I wasn't going to blurt that out. Camille was attending a private school, so there were probably a lot of nerds in her school and I didn't want her to think I was one too - even if I was just a tiny bit nerdy.
"No, nothing important."
"Cool, then you'll come with me, yeah? You can show me the hip spots the local cool cats hang."
I was laughing at that. Cool cats, seriously?
"What did I say?" Camille was smiling and my heart skipped a beat.
"Nothing, but I wouldn't really know any cool... people. I'm not that cool."
"Well, you just lent someone you don't even know a dollar. In my book, that's cool. You'll get it back, of course. We can go back to my place and I can give it to you right now."
"It's okay, it's only a dollar. We could go to the mall," I suggested.
"The mall? Is that where your friends hang?"
I shrugged non-committally. Some of my class mates would probably hang out there, yes, but they weren't really my friends. They had cars and steady boyfriends.
"I have another idea. You game?"
I nodded and she dragged me along. I felt the heat of her skin where it touched mine, I felt the silent joy of being the person she wanted to spend time with. The day had just gone from ordinary to perfect, even though the clouds hung low in the late September heat. There was going to be a rain storm, you could smell it, but for now the weather merely threatened.
* * *
We took the bus downtown. She told me about her car being in the shop for a paintjob since some "complete asshat" had keyed the driver's side. That was obviously why she was taking rides with friends from school now. I sympathized even though I didn't even own a car. My parents believed that I should be the one paying for something like a car, that it would make me a better person if I learned the value of things right along. I wasn't too bummed over it. School wasn't that far away and I had a bike. It only sucked in winter, but then it sucked big time.
We talked about school a little, she didn't seem ambitious but had her favorite subjects. Topics turned to everything under the sun. Since we didn't know each other, every topic brought revelations. She was different from what I'd imagined she'd be, but that was better because it kept reminding me that this was real. We got off the bus in a part of town I'd never been to. This was no big surprise since I didn't go to town all that much, unless it was with my parents or a special outing. I didn't just board the bus and took the 30-minute trip and the fact that my parents didn't know where I was right now, made me a little uneasy.
"Over there!" Camille pointed at a shop called "Toner" which had guitars hanging from strings in the window. They formed a melody, Camille told me. The first few chords of "Bohemian Rhapsody."
"How do you know the place? I thought you just moved here?"
"Nah, we just moved from the city to the suburbs. I got into some trouble in my old neighborhood so it seemed a good time to move. Also, mom got a promotion and they could finally afford to send me to that snobby private school."
"But you do have friends there, don't you?" I asked as we entered the shop.
"I'm not a social pariah, Shaun, I get along all right. Just don't like those uniforms and the high-and-mighty attitude of some of the faculty. The kids're okay, mostly. 'Course there's always some guys wanting you to put out, but I bet that's no different from your school, is it?"
I shook my head and felt my face flush up to the top of my ears.
"Gotcha! You got a boyfriend then, don't you?"
I was aware that I had dodged the question once before and couldn't really think of a way to do it again. "I'm going out with someone. Sometimes. I don't know, I think maybe we're over. I'm not giving him the time of day."
"If it doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right. Don't feel bad about it. Boys are pushovers at that age. It's a boy, right? Not a teacher?" Camille winked at me.
I blushed even more, although Brandon wasn't a teacher. Of course he wasn't, the idea just struck me as completely inappropriate and ridiculous.
"No, Brandon's a boy... a guy. He's my age."
"Brandon. Do white people still call their kids that?" Camille shook her head. She was going about the shop, looking at guitars. There was quite an assortment of instruments on display, but guitars dominated one wall. I went over to a keyboard, looked at some drums. I wasn't musical, but my parents had paid for piano lessons for some years and I knew my way around sheet music.
"Hey, Shaun! What do you think?"
I turned and saw her holding an accoustic guitar. It suited her, I could tell from the way my skin started to prickle with sweat. Camille only needed an instrument like that to make her even more sexy.
I nodded. "Looks good," I croaked.
She posed.
"Yo, Cammi. Don't break it, 'kay!" The guy who'd come from the back of the store addressed her. He was wearing dreads and seemed to know Camille well. He walked over to her and they hugged awkwardly over the instrument she was still holding. "You like?"
"She's a beauty. But 375 seems a little steep, don't you think? It's second hand, isn't it?"
"Yeah, like you couldn't afford it. Heard your parents got loaded up some."
"They won't just spring for a guitar they don't think I need. And I'm not in the money, as you know."
He laughed kind of high-pitched. "Some things never change."
"Laugh it up, Rufus. I could give you 250. How about it?"
Rufus shook his dreads. "You know I only work here. I can't just give my friends a 125 dollar discount, you know that. I can talk to Marcus, but I doubt he'll go that low. 350, perhaps, but never 250."
Camille sighed and handed the instrument to him. "Talk to him. And don't tell him it's me or he'll say 400."
Rufus laughed again and shook a finger at Camille. Then he noticed me. "She with you?"
"That's Shauna, my neighbor."
Rufus nodded at me. "Hey, what's up?" He whispered something to Camille which sounded like "What happened with Sara?"
Camille shook her head at him, a sure sign that she didn't want to talk about it, or didn't want to talk about it in front of me. I pretended not to notice and played some notes on a keyboard.
"You play?" Camille came over to me.
"A little. I had piano lessons for awhile."
"We could form a band," Camille said and laughed.
I felt my innards twitch in delight at the idea, even though I had hated playing and hadn't played in two years. I looked at Camille, but I didn't think she was being serious. She took my arm and we left the shop, just strolling down the street.
* * *
We ended up at the Riverfront. The smell of the looming storm intensified near water, the clouds still threatening. I already saw us seeking shelter under some awning, but so far not a drop of rain had fallen. I love this kind of weather, the air electrified with the possibility of thunder, the pulse in my neck fluttering. But maybe that last one wasn't because of the weather but the company.
Camille made it a point to link our arms, like we were long-time friends. Could she possibly know what it did to me? She caught me looking at her more than once, but always smiled when she did. I blushed, yes, but didn't look away. There was something going on between us, but it could have been the fantasy-part I had so far only dreamed about. The thing you read about in books, guessed at in movies via long, lingering looks. Did this kind of thing even have a place in the real world? Had we adopted it from media? Was it important?
Oh, but it was so important. At that moment, it was the most important question in my life: is this real? Did she feel the connection too? We stopped by the water, staring at it lost in thoughts. Her other hand found its way onto my arm, her thumb caressing my flesh. I got goosebumps and heart palpitations. How was she doing this? And was she aware that she was? My thoughts evaporated as I turned to look at her. She was more beautiful up close than should be legal.
"Don't you love this place? I mean, if you can think about it without the people in it, without the hoards of tourists. Just... the city, the river, the air." She sighed and it seemed to cut her in half. I felt the rip, but then she laughed self-consciously. "I'm being silly."
"No. It's a great place to live," I said quickly, but my answer was inadequate. It couldn't touch at the raw truth of her words, nor the sorrow of her sigh. She felt more than I did. The year that seperated us in life might as well have been ten, fifteen. She was completely out of my league. And now I felt that sorrow. I looked back at the river.
"When I think of leaving for college in two years, I always think of this. The sight of the river. It's what I'll miss most," I said after a while.
I felt Camille's eyes on me then, and for the first time that day, it seemed completely normal. Like she'd looked at me often in our lives, like I didn't get sweaty and fidgety when she did it. "It has a strong pull. Have you thought about which colleges you'd like to go to?"
"My dad wants me to go to his alma mater, University of Kentucky, if you can believe it."
Camille giggled. "My dad went to the University of Michigan, but he'd never suggest I'd go there."
"Yeah, my mom thinks it's ridiculous, too. Of course, she went to Smith."
"An all-girl's college? I guess there are worse things."
I shrugged. I've never really considered going to a women's college, though with my relationship to Brandon as it was, my crush on Camille, maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. Not, that going to a women's college decided your life in that way, my mom was mostly happily married to my dad, but still... or maybe not. It was too confusing to think about this now. It was still two years. Maybe I could somehow make my dream come true and go to Stanford. Maybe I could get a scholarship. Maybe I could grow wings and fly away.
"Where do you wanna go?" I asked.
"I've set my eyes on Columbia or NYU. I wanna go to New York."
"Wow." I couldn't think of anything else to say. The idea of her leaving, deepened my sorrow. I just wanted to hold onto her and concentrated on the point where her thumb still carressed my skin. It was comforting.
"Yeah, but it's tough competition. I don't know, maybe I'll stay here. I'm gonna miss this place."
And for some reason, I took it to mean she'd miss me.
* * *
We were on the bus back when it started to rain, fat drops hit the windows all around us. There weren't many people on the bus, all of them sitting in front while we sat in the far back. Camille sat on the seat in front of me, her long legs stretched out, her back against the window. She was looking at me.
"I hope you're not sorry you missed your study session?"
I had to laugh. "No, I'm good. There's still time."
Her smile was sly and, oh, so sexy. It made my pulse flutter.
"Look at this mess," she said, pointing outside. "All you can do in this weather is curl up on the couch with some coffee and a book. Nasty."
I knew what that meant: our day together was over. I was yearning for a repeat, of course, but wasn't sure I should ask her. She was older and she had been in charge all day, dragging me into stores and down sidewalks. We had behaved like tourists, like little girls, like bullies, but all in good fun. I'd taken my lead from her and now I felt like floating in thin air, because we were going to part. It was silly, but I already felt anchorless.
"You could come over," I suggested, my voice uncharacteristically low almost hoarse.
"Sorry, but on weekends my parents insist we eat at least one meal together. I was lucky we caught this bus or I would have been late. My mom always makes a big deal of it, you know."
"Oh, okay. I just thought..."
"Hey, Shaun, you okay there? I mean, it was just, you know, fun."
I nodded, but there were tears threatening behind my eyes. It was so silly. And then I looked at Camille, cool, collected Camille who was more beautiful than any human being had a right to be. Without thinking, I leaned forward, almost jumping out of my seat, and put my lips to hers. Just like that.
Thinking about it later, on the way home, in my room at night, all weekend, so many days after, my mind conjured this perfect memory. As if there had been no doubt, as if this kiss was perfect and our story ended with it, started with it too. The first kiss of a couple in a movie, in a song, in a book. Truth be told, though, I completely overreached, my teeth touching her lips. And she pulled away just a little. But then she pushed forward, showing me what a kiss can feel like.
I still get goosebumps just thinking about it. She was gentle and insistent, just a really good kisser while I fumbled. But she taught me. Her lips, her tongue, the time she took to completely engage. And then she leaned back. I fell back into my seat, watching her. She had her eyes closed, for a moment she looked almost blissful then a frown creased the skin between her eyes. She opened them, pinning me with their chocolaty intensity.
"I have a girlfriend, you know."
Did I feel crushed? You bet. But it wasn't such a big surprise. She was gorgeous, she was 17 and simply gorgeous. Of course, she had a girlfriend. Of course, I wasn't it. And we would never do this again, now that I completely smothered her with my unwanted (or almost unwanted) affections. I felt the loss, but I also felt that I had been given a gift. The gift of my first meaningful kiss.
So many things fell into place that night, so many things were being left unsaid, but somehow cleared up for me. I didn't like boys. Boys didn't make me feel like Camille made me feel. Boys were nothing to me but friends and relatives. I could go on living from now on, never kissing a boy again and it would be all right. I breathed easier (at least until I thought about coming out), I was going to be all right.
* * *
This is not the story of my first love, dear reader. Camille and I weren't meant to be. We would wave at each other from our respective driveways, we would sometimes engage in idle conversation. I saw her over Christmas when I was visiting my parents and she hers (she'd gone to the University of Michigan after all). She's still gorgeous, she's still impulsive and fun, but she's also not for me. I met her partner, Denize, tall, broad-shouldered and handsome. Now, that's a good match!
Me, I'm still looking. Yes, I date, but I kind of enjoy holing up in the library half the night with my research more than an awkward conversation with a woman I hardly know.
Love. I don't feel old enough to embark on that adventure. I don't have that much to give. And I feel that later is a better time. You will think me foolish, dear reader, but we all need to take our own time. I'm 21, I've got a whole world of love ahead of me. If I could just read one more book before that, write one more poem, or take one more walk down the Riverfront, alone, just breathing. I'll find my love, or I'll be found by her. And that will make for an epic love story, one you may even one day read about.

When you think of Fireman, what comes to mind?
Heroic? Brave? Hunks in calendars with a hose for a penis metaphor?
("Oh, I didn't notice you there")
Sure it does, but you're all wrong…
Oakbrook resident Connie Xinos wants to put the "fire" back in Firemen…
(I hate everything)
At a Citizens Finance Advisory Committee meeting
He thinks fire fighters cost too damn much, so they should fire em
It's fun to "axe" one fireman a month until unions "get the message"
(Jibber Jabber)
To replace them, try contract hires. A "temp" fire force
"Fireman, like cops are street people. They only understand civilized force"
(Sit & spin buddy)
I just puked in my mouth. If I was sitting across from Mr. Potter I'd be in jail
For manslaughter & I'd be missing a shoe up in his lower intestine
He figures "Fuck em, starve the unions out killing off their families…

Palmer and Harvey, the UK's number one delivered wholesaler, has launched brand advertising on vehicles for the first time.
The new initiative, which will be rolled out over the coming months, will allow Palmer and Harvey's suppliers to showcase NPDs and campaigns to a wider consumer audience across the UK.
Palmer and Harvey vehicles make around 55,000 deliveries per week using a fleet of more than 1,400 vehicles. Each lorry covers 517 miles per week on the nation's motorways, "A" roads and high streets.
The adverts will be displayed on both sides of the lorry and will change every three weeks, to coincide with promotional periods, giving Palmer and Harvey suppliers an ample opportunity to introduce themselves to a new consumer audience.
Recent research shows that in the past month, seven in 10 people have seen or heard Out of Home adverts, compared to 52 per cent in newspapers and 46 per cent in magazines.
Burtons Biscuits will be the first company to advertise under the new scheme. Ben Cooper, Business Manager for Route to Market said: "Partnering with the number one delivered wholesaler to the UK convenience market makes perfect sense for us at Burtons. With Palmer and Harvey lorries delivering to every postcode every day, it reminds our consumers that our brands make every day more of a treat!"
Emma Clacher, Senior Brand Manager at Maryland added: "We are delighted for Maryland to feature on the side of Palmer and Harvey lorries – this drives great visibility for our brand with both our local retailers and consumers, keeping Europe's number one cookie brand top of people's mind in every high street location".
Palmer and Harvey will only allow adverts from its existing suppliers, to ensure its customers will benefit from additional footfall from consumers looking for convenience store products.
Simon Harris, Channel Marketing Manager at Palmer and Harvey said: "This initiative is a fantastic way for suppliers to connect with their consumers. With our fleet of more than 1,400 vehicles in every postcode, the opportunity for suppliers is huge.
"Also, as we are unloading and making deliveries to stores across the UK, the advertising will prompt consumers to make purchases in their local stores.
"We have already seen some exciting advert designs from suppliers who have taken up this opportunity."

RH's Blowout Quarter Makes Believers Out Of Some, But Not All
Chalk up a victory for the RH (NYSE: RH) bulls. One of the most heavily shorted stocks in the market, RH, reported better-than-expected second-quarter results Wednesday afternoon, sending shares soaring more than 30 percent in Thursday's premarket session. The blowout quarter even got Wall Street's attention.
The Buckingham Research Group analyst Kelly Halsor upgraded RH from Neutral to Buy on the strength of the impressive quarter and said Buckingham is no longer skeptical of RH's turnaround story. According to Halsor, investors should expect a meaningful margin inflection in the second half of 2017.
"As core earnings power comes into focus, RH is poised to grow revenue at a mid-single digit rate (200 bps sq. footage/3% comp) with the opportunity to claw back ~500 bps of operating margin lost over the last 2 years," Halsor wrote in the upgrade note.

Loop Capital analyst Anthony Chukumba admitted that earnings, revenue and guidance exceeded expectations, but warned investors about getting too optimistic just yet.
"We remind investors management lowered its F2017 guidance just a quarter ago, as well as the fact the recent EPS outperformance is partially driven by the fact RH bought back nearly half of its outstanding shares in F1H 2017—which we consider 'financial engineering,'" he wrote on Thursday.
RH short sellers are in for a tough day on Thursday. As of last week, FIS Astec Analytics said RH was one of the five most popular stocks among short sellers.
In addition to the Buy rating, Buckingham has an $88 price target for RH. Loop maintains a Hold rating and $55 price target.
At time of publication, RH was up 44.11 percent at $71.12.

Pictures of the Bayou-Touring Nature and the "Bog"!
When I travel the environment becomes part of my destination. One of the ways to move outside to smell the pristine air and foliage of the outdoors. Experiencing the natural landscape before human development it is necessary to separate yourself from the relics of these societies. In my opinion, if you only frequent popular tourist attractions you are missing out on a very important underbelly that formed the nucleus of local culture.
Enjoy some pictures of the Bayou. Crocodiles, turtles, birds, snakes, and rodent life exist in the swampy forest. As you walk along an embankment it becomes strikingly clear that you are surrounded by a theater of "real" life and activity. The early French settlers would have seen the very same thing.

Product Overview
This is our Carbon Black Leather
The Love 41 Zipper Clutch Wallet is made from full-grain (i.e. super tough!) leather. This wallet is made from the highest quality material and will prove to be extremely durable over time because it has been crafted to the highest quality standards in Old Mexico.
Unlike our hair, cows are waterproof, right? That's because the top part of their hide has tightly woven fibers. Our leather is produced keeping all of the natural grain intact (the reason it is called full-grain leather). No scars are shaven or sanded off because that process leaves only a small portion of the grain intact (which is known as top-grain leather). Because full-grain leather is the strongest cow leather on the planet (and the most beautiful in our opinion) that is why we choose to use it. This wallet has a beautiful lined interior and is finished with antique brass hardware and a Spanish zipper closure.
This wallet is both unique and beautiful because it is made from full-grain leather which will only get more beautiful with age. It will grab oils from anything it comes in contact with and patina over time. This wallet is the perfect wallet and clutch all in one. It has 6 interior credit card slots, an interior zippered pocket, an interior leather "V" pocket. It also has one exterior back pocket large enough to fit most cell phones. The wallet has an extra measure of security with RFID protection and closes with a zipper.

The story behind this leather wallet
So, as most of you have probably guessed by now, I love leather! I think it's so beautiful and the way it ages and patinas over time give it so much character. Desiging a good wallet with the best leather makes the perfect wallet that will last a lifetime. The Zipper Clutch Wallet happens to be the perfect size that's not too big, but big enough for all your essentials.

It can be difficult to be left alone after losing a parental figure. Being a single child makes it even more difficult. These quotes about a father passed away will help to bring you some comfort during this time of grief.
"A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be."
"A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father."
"Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad, and that's why I call you dad, because you are so special to me. You taught me the game and you taught me how to play it right."
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you."
"Becoming a father increases your capacity for love and your level of patience. It opens up another door in a person – a door which you may not even have known was there. That's what I feel with my son. "
"But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
"I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well."
"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection."
"I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won't even start eating until he's sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose."
"If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher."
"I'm proud of my hard work. Working hard won't always lead to the exact things we desire. There are many things I've wanted that I haven't always gotten. But, I have a great satisfaction in the blessings from my mother and father, who instilled a great work ethic in me both personally and professionally."
"It was my father who taught me to value myself. He told me that I was uncommonly beautiful and that I was the most precious thing in his life."
"I've chosen to stay in a jolly place for most of my life, and that is a lot of who I am."
"My dad is my best friend, my father, and my boss. When I do something that is exciting and he likes it, it feels three times as good as you can imagine."
"My family and friends were definitely the key to my recovery. One thing that I do suggest is that anyone dealing with a life-threatening illness like cancer choose a point person for people to call to find out how you are doing – a sister, brother, mother, father, daughter, son, or close friend."
"My family is everything. I am what I am thanks to my mother, my father, my brother, my sister… because they have given me everything. The education I have is thanks to them."
"My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it."
"My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me."
"My father taught my siblings and me the importance of positive values and a strong ethical compass. He showed us how to be resilient, how to deal with challenges, and how to strive for excellence in all that we do. "
"My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'"
"My father was my teacher. But most importantly he was a great dad."
"My heartfelt condolences. Your father was an outstanding man and it seems that he has left us too soon."
"One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters."
"Peace is the beauty of life. It is sunshine. It is the smile of a child, the love of a mother, the joy of a father, the togetherness of a family. It is the advancement of man, the victory of a just cause, the triumph of truth."
"The most important influence in my childhood was my father."
"The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother."
"To a father growing old nothing is dearer than a daughter."
"Until you have a son of your own… you will never know the joy, the love beyond feeling that resonates in the heart of a father as he looks upon his son."
"When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry."
"Your father always bragged about how wonderful you were. I hope you know that you meant the world to him. He was a wonderful man and will be missed."
"Your father was one of the nicest people I know and I know that he was a great dad too."
Dealing with the loss of a loved one is difficult enough. Dealing with a self inflicted tragedy is even worse.

Perhaps a good time to reflect back 50 years ago to early 1965 when Bob Blake had already made a start on the original's monocoque.
At the time, it was believed that it was still possible to have the car up and running in time for Le Mans – time was very, very tight but the skilled team working behind closed doors were used to working to such tight deadlines.
From the perspective of the Competition Department Engineers, as described by Peter Wilson in his definitive book on the XJ13 ("XJ13 – The definitive story of the Jaguar Le Mans car and the V12 engine that powered it" – available from the publisher Paul Skilleter and the JCNA website )
… "That the Competition Department had the capability to build XJ13 to a similar schedule was in no doubt, especially as by 1965 there were three more people working in the department. One thing was missing, however – the final directive, which could only come from the top. To build E2A had required the entire CompetitionDepartment workforce, working seven days a week, together with similar levels of effort from the Experimental Engine Department to build and develop the 3.0 litre all aluminium racing engine. This total commitment from top management in respect of the XJ13 was not forthcoming probably due to other top level priorities which we couldn't have been aware of …
… But it was becoming obvious that there was no way the car would be ready for Le Mans in 1965."
The Competition in 1965
In January of 1965 the annual Racing Car Show was held at Olympia in London where the latest designs were being showcased by designers such as Lotus, McLaren, Lola & Brabham. Derrick White (Jaguar's pre-eminent chassis designer) and Malcolm Sayer attended the show. They produced a report on their return in which Derrick made the following significant points:
- None of the racing cars at the show adopted the practice of using the rear driveshaft to locate the rear wheels. Those of you familiar with Jaguar will know this had become standard practice at Jaguar. Companies such as Lotus and Lola had tried solid driveshafts as upper locating links but had quickly moved to upper/lower links and plunging driveshafts. This fell on deaf ears as far as Jaguar's William Heynes was concerned and he insisted the XJ13 should retain Jaguar's "production" setup. Jaguar's bad experiences with the De Dion independent systems tried on the D-Types in the 1950s may have also influenced his decision. This difference of opinion festered between White and Heynes over the next two years eventually culminating in White leaving Jaguar and pursuing a very successful career designing race-winning chassis for Cooper and the Honda/Lola/Surtees consortium. There is no doubt the XJ13 would have ended up an even more competent car had Derrick been allowed to apply his solutions.
- Derrick also made a request for more design resource – needed to keep pace with the competition. This request was refused by William Heynes who insisted a pair of hands should be recruited from within Jaguar's existing complement.
Fast-forward …..
Fast-forward 50 years and to my efforts to reproduce the XJ13 rear suspension geometry.
I was already in possession of all critical suspension points in 3D space so I was well on my way to being able to reproduce the precise handling characteristics of the original car in my recreation. I had already sourced an original ZF 5DS 25-1 transaxle as used in the XJ13 – complete with identical ratios. As predicted by Derrick White, Jaguar did initially have problems with their use of the driveshaft as upper link and the transaxle output shafts had to be modified very early in development. I made the same modifications to the transaxle output shafts to cope with the lateral stresses applied by the use of the solid drive shafts.
Essentially, this consisted of replacing the ZF driveshaft circlips with nuts. The drive shafts were threaded and were held in place by nuts.
Driving the Rear Wheels
Incidentally, I have acquired a pair of drive shafts which had been originally installed in the XJ13. Indeed, it is possible they were in place during XJ13 Test & Development driver David Hobbs' XJ13 record-breaking run – more than 161 mph on the closed track at MIRA in 1967 – a record which was to stand for 32 years and only beaten in 1992 by the McLaren F1 road car. This record did show the potential of the XJ13 "straight out of the box" and before serious race-development.
These output shafts are used to connect the cast rear hub-carriers to the transaxle via a pair of "solid" drive shafts. Again, those of you familiar with your Jaguars will recognise the basic architecture of this setup. The following picture shows the arrangement in the original XJ13:
I recreated the original setup – even going to the extent of recreating custom rear hub carriers, vented discs and custom Dunlop calipers. Although Jaguar later adopted Girling brakes, the car started its life with Dunlop brakes. A handbrake caliper was added but never used.
Sitting on all four feet
The following pictures show steps in recreating these custom items:
Batch of machined front hub carriers (left). These are cast using modern materials/treatment giving a strength approaching that of forgings. They are exact replicas of Lightweight E-Type items albeit modified to accept later sealed-for-life bottom bearings.
With the rear hubs installed in the car, the front suspension could be completed.
My car can now sit on all four feet. Dunlop racing tyres were fitted as original and attention could turn to final details as the recreated car was made ready for the paintshop. One of these details was the addition of a dry-sump oil tank as original. Wheras practically all modern tanks use round tanks where the oil is returned tangentially to remove entrapped air, Jaguar chose a different solution where returned oil passed over a series of baffle-plates in a rectangular tank. The following picture shows the original car's dry-sump tank:
The following pictures show the recreated tank. My tank does differ slightly from the original in that the de-aerated oil is stored within the sill in a solid aluminium tank rather than a rubber bag-tank. Much head-scratching was called for during the car's build at Jaguar for a suitable rubber capable of withstanding hot oil at up to 150 C. I decided to take a more secure option! The tank is capable of holding more than 6 gallons of oil.
Just in case Malcolm is looking …
I have previously extolled the virtues of the craftsmen working at my chosen bodyshop – North Devon Metalcraft in Devon, UK. One more detail added a few days ago exemplifies the skill of these artisans. I reckon Jaguar's Bob Blake would have approved had he still been around today.
I needed to install the front indicators. Knowing how particular Jaguar's Malcom Sayer was about any detail disrupting his airflow, it was very important to ensure these items fitted particularly well and recessed into the aluminium body. Peter Wilson talks of an occasion in 1965 when Bob Blake took it upon himself to install a cast Jaguar emblem on the nose of the car. He carefully traced around it and hammered out a recess so the badge would sit flush. When Malcolm saw what he had done he immediately insisted the badge was removed, the recess removed and the nose hammered flat once more. Bob Blake reluctantly did so.
Wheras Jaguar's rebuilt car has rows of raised rivets across its nose, the 1966 original made use of flat countersunk rivets in this area to maintain a smooth profile. I am sure the late Malcolm Sayer would not have been amused had he seen what was done to "his" car during its post-crash rebuild. The following pictures show the sequence followed by the chaps at North Devon Metalcraft to properly install the side indicators. I never tire of watching these skilled metalworkers at work:
The bonnet of the XJ13 has a NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) duct. It is placed on the driver's side and close to the leading edge of the bonnet.
If you look underneath the bonnet you will see the following:
Can any of you guess what this was meant for?
Here's a few clues … The duct points straight down. It points towards the steering rack and is in the vicinity of the brake and clutch reservoirs. It is positioned on the driver's side rather than centrally on the car ……….
My car is now in the paintshop. The plan is to reunite it with its engine when it returns then give it a first shakedown run.
The words Jaguar, Jaguar XJ13, XJ13 are used in a historical/descriptive context and in no way suggest our recreations/replicas are approved by Jaguar. It is widely known that there was only ever one Jaguar XJ13 and any others can only ever be replicas, facsimilies, tributes, recreations, toolroom copies or similar.

Hating withers your heart. Hearts that don't pump love, atrophy. ~Terri Guillemets

First of all, I want to remind you that Sickle
cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that
affects red blood cells. I searched for
information on your question. According to what I
found, it is possible to get Sickle cell disease
even if you are not African American. Sickle cell
disease is quite variable in itself. Researchers
know of only a few of the factors that contribute
to this variability. Some are genetic. Others
likely involve environmental influences. One of
the most important genetic factors is thalassemia.
One form of thalassemia, called -thalassemia,
reduces the production of normal hemoglobin. A
person with one normal hemoglobin gene and one
thalassemia gene has thalassemia trait (also
called thalassemia minor). Should one parent have
sickle cell trait and the other have thalassemia
trait, any child they conceive has one chance in
four of receiving one gene for sickle cell disease
and one gene for β-thalassemia . This condition is
called sickle β-thalassemia. The severity varies.
Some patients with sickle β-thalassemia have a
condition as severe as sickle cell disease itself.
Others have few and relatively mild problems. The
gene for thalassemia is very common among people
of Mediterranean origin. The sickle gene also
exists in people of Mediterranean origin, although
its frequency is much lower than that for
thalassemia. People of, say, Greek or Italian
background who have a sickle condition most often
have sickle β-thalassemia.The Sickle cell
disease is an inherited condition; the disease
comes with the newborn. Two genes for the sickle
hemoglobin must be inherited from one's parents in
order to have the disease. A one-in-four chance
(25%) exists that a child will inherit two normal
genes from the parents. A one-in-four chance (25%)
also exists that a child will inherit two sickle
cell genes, and has Sickle cell disease. A
one-in-two chance (50%) exists that the child will
inherit a normal gene from one parent and a sickle
gene from the other. This would produce Sickle
cell trait. Sickle cell trait produces no symptoms
or problems for most people. Sickle cell disease
can neither be contracted nor passed on to another
person.Here is the interesting web site
where I got most of this information:sickle_cell_d

Nate Axelrod claims yet another title as he is named the NCAA National Player of the Year.
It was announced by D3hoops.com that Axelrod was named NCAA Division III Player of the Year as part of the D3hoops.com All-America teams.
"It's a huge honor and really means a lot," said Axelrod, "this really reflects all the work I've put in over the past 21 years of my life, and I'm really grateful."
Axelrod, the Battling Bishops' point guard, was a first-team All-America select, as well as a second-team All-America pick by D3hoops.com in 2017 and 2016.
It was just last month that Axelrod was named NCAC Player of the Year for the third year in a row, making him the first men's basketball player in conference history to do so.
"I'm definitely happy with way my college career has played out. I've had a lot of success as a player and have to give my teammates and coaches a lot of credit for helping me do it," Axelrod said.
Axelrod also became the first Ohio Wesleyan athlete to receive the Jostens Trophy, which recognizes the most outstanding NCAA Division III men's basketball player.
It's given to an athlete who not only succeeds on the court, but in the classroom and community as well.
"Nate is a role model for every student-athlete that walks on campus," said Ohio Wesleyan athletics director Doug Zipp.
Off the court, Axelrod is active with Big Brothers/Big Sisters as well as in service to the Delaware community through his fraternity, Phi Delta Theta.
"Nate Axelrod epitomizes the values of the scholar-athlete at the Division III level," said Ohio Wesleyan President Rock Jones.
He led the NCAC in scoring (19.2 points/game) and assists, becoming the first player in conference history to lead the league in scoring and assists in a season.
He finished his career as the second Ohio Wesleyan men's basketball player and the fourth in NCAC history to surpass the 2000-point mark, and is Ohio Wesleyan's all-time leader in assists (655) and consecutive games started (114).

* S. Africa's bishops speak out week before ANC election
* Say ANC leadership has "lost moral compass"
* Zuma brushes off scandals, marches to re-election
JOHANNESBURG, Dec 11 (Reuters) - South Africa's churches launched a blistering attack on the African National Congress (ANC) on Tuesday, accusing the ruling party of moral decay and of abandoning Nelson Mandela's goal to build a non-racial democracy from the ashes of apartheid.
In a letter to President Jacob Zuma published a week before an ANC leadership election and policy conference, the South African Council of Churches (SACC) threatened to agitate for a "more healthy democracy" if its concerns were brushed aside.
"During apartheid, some Church leaders wrote to political leaders but they often failed to listen to these voices. Unfortunately we find a similar trend today," the SACC, a major player in the struggle against the white-minority rule that ended in 1994, wrote.
"We have begun to stray from the path of building a united, non-racial, non-sexist and democratic South Africa," it continued, adding that political leaders had "largely lost their moral compass".
Founded in 1936, the SACC is an umbrella organisation that groups the country's major Christian denominations. Nobel Peace Prize-winning Anglican former Archbishop of Cape Town Desmond Tutu was one of its most prominent leaders during the apartheid era, serving as its secretary general.
The council has criticised the ANC before, but this very public censure coming before the start of a major ruling party conference appeared designed for maximum impact.
The rebuke gained extra emotional weight this week with the hospitalisation of former president Mandela, now 94 and revered by most South Africans as architect of the "Rainbow Nation" that emerged 18 years ago from three centuries of white oppression.
Mandela, in hospital since Saturday for tests, had suffered a recurrence of a lung infection but was responding to treatment, the government said.
The ANC celebrated its centenary this year but its internal back-slapping has been in marked contrast to external criticism that portrays the former liberation movement as corrupt and inept under the aegis of a scandal-prone and ineffectual leader.
In April, Reuel Khoza, the chairman of Nedbank, South Africa's fourth-biggest bank, triggered a vitriolic response when he labelled ANC leaders a "strange breed" incapable of running a sophisticated emerging economy in the 21st century.
Four months later, South Africa faced arguably its biggest post-apartheid crisis when police shot dead 34 strikers at the Marikana platinum mine, sparking a wave of unrest that swept across the mining sector and hit economic growth.
Seizing on the Marikana killings and a scandal over a 240 million rand ($28 million) state-funded upgrade to Zuma's private home, the opposition Democratic Alliance (DA) pushed last month for an unprecedented no-confidence vote against him.
With a two-thirds majority in parliament, the motion seems no more than an irritant for 70-year-old Zuma. He looks set to be re-elected unopposed next week as party leader, a position that tees him up to run the country until 2019.
The emotional ties to the ANC of most of the 80 percent black majority means the ruling party is unlikely to face a serious ballot box challenge soon. The DA, which has its origins in the white, liberal anti-apartheid movement, has struggled to shake an image as a party of white privilege.
In a separate letter to DA leader Helen Zille, a white, former anti-apartheid journalist, the SACC stressed the importance of opposition figures in "putting our country on a more healthy footing".
Zuma's office acknowledged the SACC's 10-page list of concerns in a letter dated Dec. 6, although ANC spokesman Jackson Mthembu declined to comment, saying the party had only been made aware of the letter from Tuesday's newspapers.
"We don't respond from the top of our head when we see things in the media," he said.
The churches' criticism carries weight in a country where 80 percent of people call themselves Christian - many ardently so.
"This is the very same people who led the church's struggle against apartheid, and it's very significant," said Cape Town-based political analyst Nic Borain. "The church clearly believes there to be a significant crisis of both governance and leadership."

Woke up, got out of bed, dragged a comb across my headOn March 8, 2014 by Moonlit Knight
Hmm – another Beatles lyric. OK boys, I get then hint.
Felt a positive lazybones this morning. Didn't wake till 7.50 am. I was pleasantly surprised the steroid effects had lessened so dramatically as I had been expecting it to be more gradual. Still there but more under control. Stayed out in the garden for some time, but more because it was a nice morning rather than the need to pace about like some caged animal.
Higher cognitive skills seem to be returning. Which is good as, it would like to do something with my also woefully underwritten technical blog while I've still got the writing bug.
Talking of which. I really should thank the whoever or whatever that my computer went kaput when it did. I would really have been in trouble if it had gone after I came out of the hospital as it is also my TV.
Oh, before I go off to do some shopping and forget. This is a great get out of bed song.
Matt Bianco – Get out of your lazy Bed 1984 http://youtu.be/DKdsArZ2Nes
I'm glad I checked the Beatles lyrics, I had forgotten about this one.
Got back from shopping and felt pleasantly tired. It's daylight and I could actually sit, just sit, out in the garden and enjoy a cup of tea.
While I was out I had a little incident that reminded me I am not completely out of the woods yet.
This is a nice walk.
Yes it is. But don't forget it has a purpose.
Oh yes . Shopping. We need to get some money.
OK. There's the machine. Lets go for that.
The money's not coming out.
Did you put the wrong pin number in?
No. It's the card. It's not working. It's just sitting there.
Aha, I think I've found the problem.
Ha ha. Oh yes. I don't think trying to use the Iceland Bonus Card works well at a bank.
